Logic Chain X Monster Ashore

Facing the gaze of the crowd.

Ce pushed up his glasses, which reflected a white haze in the sunlight.

He shared his opinion.

"Although I don't know anything about this person named Tell, based on your current description, this person Tell is dead, and murdered, after a fight before his death."

This was undoubtedly premeditated.

"In this situation, there are two possibilities: the scene has been carefully arranged, or the scene has not been changed."

"Regardless of which one it is, it demonstrates the enemy's strength. Coupled with the message he sent you, even if you don't know what the message means, it's enough to show that this murder was premeditated."

"Simply put, this man Tell possesses some kind of information that others don't want him to know."

Upon hearing his words...

A somewhat bewildered Berorais suddenly asked, "Why information, and not things?"

"If something is stolen, you can leave subtle information at the scene, or in a more direct way."

Sending messages discreetly, in a way that avoids being tracked by others, indicates that the focus is on the information rather than the content.

The two have different focuses.

If the goal is to steal an item, then the target is the item itself; once you have the item, you must quickly clean up the mess and leave.

In this situation, if you're smart, you don't need to hide the information too much; perhaps it would be better to leave more information out at that time.

However, if the target is information, then it becomes very important; the confidentiality and transmission of information become paramount.

Therefore, the message is sent secretly to a specific person, and it contains only one word.

Of course, this cannot be completely determined.

However, this point can naturally be discerned by Kevin and others who know Tell better.

What Ce just said means that if the other party goes back, they may encounter fatal danger.

"The secretive channels, the one-word message, and the specific person are enough to demonstrate the level of protection this information receives."

"If you go back at this point, they will definitely start investigating. If they only investigate based on existing information..."

I believe you will not get much result, or you may even be led to false goals.

"But if you have a piece of information, you will definitely start to investigate based on that information and your understanding of this person."

"This will definitely expose your intentions. If the other party killed you to protect information, someone like you who would go back to help investigate would likely learn about the relevant information and naturally end up on their list."

Regarding this result...

After a moment's thought, Kevin and Beget actually agreed.

Especially Kevin.

He knew that Tell was Disaster Investigation Hunter.

So at this point he asked, "Can Tell's Nen ability predict certain disasters?"

Now that everyone was dead, An had nothing left to hide.

He nodded.

"Tell's Nen ability is [The Listener of the Heavenly Fire's Descent]. The reason he has this Nen ability is because he experienced two large-scale disasters in different regions when he was young, which caused him to lose everything."

"So he participated in various international rescue organizations at a very young age, and after becoming Hunter x Hunter, he developed this Nen ability."

"This ability is activated passively; the greater the disaster, the more severe the consequences and the more people harmed, the farther away he can learn about it."

"For minor disasters, he can only be aware of them within a certain area."

An then gave an example.

"For example, if the Phoenix were allowed to ignite the Volcanic Cluster here during this wildfire, it would cause extremely serious damage to this forest. Of course, this is a natural phenomenon, so it wouldn't be considered a major disaster."

"But such disasters can affect several neighboring countries, especially those with dense vegetation and limited rescue capabilities."

"According to him at the time, the disaster was expected to cause tens of thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people to be displaced."

So he had a vague feeling about it almost a month in advance, and as he got closer, he learned more and more.

Moreover, he first experienced this disaster on another continent.

In short, this disaster was predicted to have occurred across continents.

Those around him fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

The goal is to integrate all the currently known information.

We can roughly extract a relatively credible chain of events.

Ce nodded, having roughly grasped the information in his mind.

"Then this person must be a humanitarian fighter, the kind who would selflessly dedicate themselves to others. Therefore, the message sent to you is definitely not about himself, but about something greater that can save more people."

"[Insect], let's assume that the disaster was caused by an insect, who foresaw the disaster and determined that it could cause great casualties."

"So now the question is, he was killed and sent out this information, so the enemy may not have wanted him to know this information, or rather, they didn't want him to spread this information."

"Then the problem becomes clear: this disaster is man-made. After all, it's an insect infestation, isn't it? It sounds like the kind of thing that humans could interfere with."

This logical chain is very coherent, and based on the information available now, its credibility is extremely high.

"I have to do something, right? Should I just let him die in vain?"

An said somewhat angrily.

The plan was not to be discussed further.

Anyway, this matter is definitely risky, and the risk is not small.

At this moment, Men Qi poured cold water on the situation.

"Well, at most you can only investigate the cause of his death, and you might even put yourself in a dangerous situation. It's impossible to take revenge because you're not strong enough."

"If the other side can really cause disaster and take down Tell in a relatively easy way, it means that the other side is very powerful and that they are operating as a group."

He then added, "Tell sent you this information because he definitely hopes you can stop this disaster, but I must say the chances are very slim."

"Based on your previous explanation of Tell's Nen ability, let's assume this disaster is on the same level as the Volcano, then he could very well have known about it a month in advance."

"Is it possible for us to pinpoint the location of the insect infestation within a month?"

"The world is so vast, and he was silenced so quickly, is it possible that he himself hadn't even determined the exact location of this insect plague?"

And there's another situation that everyone is well aware of.

Tell was silenced in his office.

In other words, the enemy had already considered this possibility when they were doing bad things, and had already taken notice of them long ago.

And they acted without hesitation.

In other words, information Blockade has been taken to the extreme.

In this situation, if they try to investigate, by the time they find out the truth, the problem will have already surfaced, and it won't matter whether they try to cover it up or not.

"No matter what, I have to go."

An made up his mind and said.

Even if you don't investigate, you should at least help the other party with their funeral arrangements.

Perhaps we can obtain more information.

Let's look at it by normal standards.

It would be strange not to help investigate.

There was nothing more for the others to do to persuade him to stay.

I definitely want to go.

And so, I watched as Anne left the camp.

"It's such a pity. I think he was a really good person. The world needs people like him."

Buhaci said with some regret.

Regardless, such a humanitarian fighter and Hunter x Hunter who has done real work to save countless lives deserves respect.

One month later.

An is still safe.

They also sent some information reports.

Based on the information he gathered from the conversation, he began his investigation using normal investigative methods and maintained a low profile.

As expected.

Just as they had guessed at the time.

The investigation was completely chaotic; what seemed like valuable intelligence turned out to be nothing but useless information after all the effort.

Simply put, if the normal investigation process is followed, a month-long investigation will yield nothing but wasted time and energy, and will only make things more confusing.

The information beyond that point is completely blank.

Inside the camp.

The group sat around the Bonfire.

"It has indeed become a cold case."

"That's normal."

Beget then said, "But the problem is, we haven't heard of any insect-related disasters recently."

According to their previous guesses, it should have broken out in a month.

However, although various disasters, large and small, continue to be reported from every country, no serious insect-related disasters have occurred.

Kevin said helplessly, "There are two possibilities: one, the message sent is unrelated to the disaster; two, the disaster is more serious than we imagined, so it hasn't happened yet."

The first one was alright, but the second one was a bit unpleasant.

"Sigh, there's no use thinking about it so much. There are many things we really can't control."

There's nothing you can do about this kind of nonsensical situation, no matter how hard you try.

The Mitene Federation.

NGL Autonomous Region.

This is a very special autonomous region.

Here, everything related to technology and machinery is discarded.

It can be said to be unique in the whole world.

They established a civilization here, dedicated to living in harmony with nature.

This is a place where communication is basically done by shouting and transportation is basically done by walking.

Messengers and horses were the main means of communication here.

The entry of foreigners is also very strict. Simply put, all mechanical and electronic equipment is not allowed to enter the country.

They are very strict about this.

And that's the kind of country it is.

On the coast of its border.

Under the cover of night, a life was washed ashore by the ocean current.

A Chimera Ant.

But she was as tall as a person.

She made a cracking sound.

The key point is not having a height similar to that of a human, but possessing intelligence comparable to that of a human.

Her physical disability clearly meant that getting here had taken a great deal of effort for her.

Thoughts flashed through my mind.

Her will remained firm.

"The injury is too severe."

We must find a way to restore it.

"I cannot die yet; I still bear a very important mission."

This willpower drove her to do everything in her power to survive.

They made their difficult journey to the edge of a cave on the coast.

Leaning against the stone wall.

She is the Queen of this colony of Chimera Ant, and she has the responsibility to give birth to a new king.

After resting for a while, the giant Chimera Ant Queen began to use her remaining limbs to catch fish on the beach.

One fish after another was caught and brought ashore.

He ate it bite by bite.

"No, that's not enough. The nutrition isn't sufficient."

She needs bigger, more nutritious prey.

Inside the Volcano.

Kevin stood by the Altar, looking at the Phoenix Egg in the center.

The Phoenix Egg at this point was different from the one before.

The flames began to gradually diminish.

It's not that it's become weaker, but rather that its energy is becoming more concentrated, and the surrounding temperature is starting to drop.

Compared to the previous extreme heat, this is quite different.

These temperature drops are mainly due to more energy entering the egg.

After a long period of stability, the energy within the egg begins to grow vigorously again.

What's your opinion on this situation?

Kevin asked the expert next to him.

Beget observed carefully as he conducted his research.

Logically speaking, it should be entering the final stage, accumulating its last strength before breaking free of its shell.

This was Beget's opinion. After several months of research, he had gained a fairly deep understanding of the Phoenix Egg.

Kevin nodded slightly.

"It seems the Phoenix Egg will hatch within a month at most."

"Pretty much. If things continue like this, after such a surge of power, there will be a very short period of stability for final rest and accumulation, and then it will burst forth in one fell swoop."

Beget offered his subsequent speculation.

Kevin nodded.

After collecting the data, the two left the Volcano.

We arrived at the camp.

It was still morning.

But Jie Mei and the others who came to train were already standing on the temporary Training Ground.

"You've been training for several months now, and you've already dabbled in and mastered both basic and advanced Nen ability."

"I've been asking you to prepare and develop your Nen ability. I believe you've made some progress by now, haven't you?"

"So, let me see first, so I can see if you've properly applied the knowledge I've taught you to your own bodies."

Kevin said seriously.

Besides these basics, the development of Nen ability is also very important for a Nen user.

An unsuitable Nen ability development nearly ruined this Nen user's life.

Even geniuses can fall into hell in an instant.

Therefore, finding the right fit is very important.

The four nodded.

They had already developed their Nen ability, and now it was time to showcase their results.

They also wanted to show off in front of Kevin and see if their self-created Nen ability would be recognized by him.

Beget left the camp at this point.

Melusina and Men Qi and the others gathered around.

They belong to the Nosra Manor faction, so there's no need to avoid them.

"Then let's begin, starting with you."

Kevin pointed to Jie Mei.
