Wandering Child X Ill Intent
Four more prisoners were captured.
After the battle ended, Maitai quickly arrived with his men.
Meanwhile, Henrich's subordinates began to torture the four prisoners by punching them.
Because these four new prisoners would certainly know far more than the previous one.
After all, the previous prisoner hadn't even awakened his Nen ability yet, while these four prisoners had already awakened their Nen ability, and each of them had killed more than twenty people.
The four men have killed more than a hundred people in total, but no bodies have been found.
"The problem now is that we've captured so many of their people. Unless Molena is an idiot, she'll know that their location has been exposed."
"Even some of their Nen ability have been exposed to us."
For all Nen user, the most important thing is information about their Nen ability.
Once information about Nen ability is obtained, targeted countermeasures can be taken.
"I've already placed people in various locations. As long as he moves around looking for his next hiding place, he'll inevitably leave a trace and we'll catch him."
Henrich said nonchalantly.
For Maitai, there was no longer any impatience.
Because the essential goal has already been achieved.
Having captured so many of their men and extracted so much information, Molena, despite her desire to do something, now had to force her subordinates to calm down.
Too much information has been exposed.
The only option is to lie low.
For Maitai, simply slowing them down would be a victory.
After all, Maitai's primary task right now is not to capture Molena and deal with their people, but to take control of the overall situation of the entire ship.
We must not allow the sense of crisis brought about by assassins to spread throughout the entire ship.
What's needed is the stability of the entire ship.
Kevin on the other side.
--
Looking at the open circular tunnel door in front of him.
Clearly, the Eleventh Prince had once again opened the door next to him. Why?
The Eleventh Prince, who had climbed out of the door, seemed unsurprised to see Kevin standing before him.
Melusina and Biscuit, who were standing nearby, were seeing this scene for the first time and observed it with some curiosity.
"It seems you came here specifically to see me. The way you opened the door is even more interesting than I expected."
It seems the other party has many possible destinations to choose from when they open the door.
Current speculation includes opening doors at known locations, opening doors targeting the environment surrounding an individual, and opening doors randomly, but in safer environments.
We also learned from Pairo that the biggest limitation originally required two people to work together to open the door to go there and the door to return.
Now, due to the death of the Tenth Prince, it has become a door that can be operated by one person.
However, for the Eleventh Prince, it would be better to let the restrictions remain indefinitely.
"Those two people connected to the Melody are your people, right? You can revive Kadzuo, right?"
"Hey, Fugats, I'm not dead yet!"
A voice came from the side, and the Tenth Prince, who had been hiding, revealed himself.
Clearly, she had been following the other person the whole time, in her Nen Beast form.
"Is this what happens when a human soul merges with Nen Beast?"
Biscuit watched as the Tenth Prince looked at her with curiosity.
"Hey, you're so rude, kid!"
Upon hearing Biscuit's words, the Tenth Prince immediately put his hands on his hips and reprimanded her indignantly.
"Just a little kid, huh? Hehehe."
Biscuit wasn't displeased at all by what the other person said; instead, a smug smile appeared on her face.
Kevin didn't say anything, but waved his hand.
The door next to him opened, and Kadzuo's corpse walked straight out.
This scene left the Eleventh Prince completely stunned.
The Tenth Prince was startled when he saw his own corpse emerge, and then his face turned bright red.
He was instantly consumed by rage.
"Hey! How can you just play with someone else's corpse like that! That's incredibly rude!"
And why flaunt someone else's body in front of the original owner?!
Kadzuo was devastated.
She never imagined that she would be able to see her own corpse walking around in front of her.
The Eleventh Prince couldn't care less about anything else and pounced on Kevin, grabbing his hand.
"You can save Kadzuo, right? Can you really save her?"
Even Kadzuo shut up.
Although she wasn't particularly dissatisfied with herself now, she would have preferred to be alive again.
"Before I saw you, I was about 70% sure, but after seeing you, I'm about 90% sure."
Fugats pursed her lips, but still couldn't hold back her tears.
Kadzuo immediately knelt down and hugged his sister.
"Don't be too happy yet. Things like resurrection always come at a price."
The Eleventh Prince said hastily, his voice trembling with tears, "Whatever you ask of me, I will do my best, as long as you can bring Kadzuo back to life."
I don't think I'm dead yet.
Kadzuo muttered to himself in the background.
"In that case, let me collect some interest first. Come here and let me take a look."
Kevin pointed at Kadzuo and said.
Kadzuo immediately wanted to revert to his previous prickly demeanor and start cursing, but realizing that the situation was no longer the same, he shut his mouth and silently walked over.
Even Melusina and Biscuit gathered around, looking at each other curiously.
Kadzuo couldn't resist in the end.
"I'm not an animal in a zoo, don't look at me like I'm some kind of animal!"
You are much rarer than rare animals.
Biscuit said with a laugh, and then poked the other man's thigh with her finger, which made Kadzuo scream.
Do you still think she's Kadzuo?
Kevin looked at Fugats and asked.
Fugats opened his mouth, but then silently lowered his head.
"She is Kadzuo, but she isn't."
The Eleventh Prince didn't know how to describe it.
"Hey, you made Fugats cry again."
Kevin ignored him and looked directly at the Eleventh Prince, speaking directly.
"Essentially, the Tenth Prince is still the Tenth Prince, because I personally witnessed how her soul was pulled from her corpse and how it was transformed into its current form through the Nen Beast."
Upon hearing this, a look of surprise seemed to flash across Fugats's face.
"I've seen worse things, where a whole soul is diluted out, and it's still much better than what I've witnessed before."
"At least I won't be eaten like Chimeric Ant, my soul torn apart and mixed together."
"But like I said, there's no such thing as a free lunch. I went to great lengths to bring your sister back to life, so naturally I need you to do something for me."
"But before that, I can tell you that you should know clearly that you are involved in the Succession War. In this Succession War, only by eliminating all your sisters who are competing with you can you obtain the throne and survive."
"This isn't something you can simply end by giving up, so do you understand what I mean?"
"Including your current sister, if this Succession Ceremony cannot be resolved, then in the end you will still have to kill the current Kadzuo, which I think you definitely can't do."
"So now there is only one way to go, and that is to help us destroy this Succession Ceremony. But before that, I must tell you that the Succession War Succession Ceremony of the Kakin Empire is of paramount importance to the Kakin Empire. It is a national treasure among national treasures."
"If you help us destroy the Succession Ceremony, your actions would be tantamount to treason."
After listening to Kevin's words, the two fell silent.
The two have a very good relationship, but they are also members of royalty. They are inherently entitled to a sense of ownership over the country.
Kevin's words were tantamount to asking the two of them to burn down their own house.
"I will. I will make sure Kadzuo lives."
"I said through gritted teeth," Fugats said.
She's not stupid; she can see it.
Kadzuo's current state can be explained by the activation of his Nen Beast ability, but now even a corpse is standing in front of her.
Her Nen ability requires cooperation between two people, so it's likely that Kadzuo's Nen ability is similar.
The other person died because of her, and even in death, he stays by her side, protecting her.
Their feelings are absolute.
This is just destroying national treasures; she's perfectly capable of doing such a thing for Kadzuo.
"Then the deal is done. Now, come over here."
Fugats walked over.
Kevin watched as he pointed his finger at her forehead and then made a grabbing motion in the air.
A dark aura was drawn in from the other person's body and back, gathering in Kevin's palm.
"What's this?"
Kadzuo asked, somewhat flustered.
Fugats also felt a sudden sense of relief. The heavy sorrow in his mind had dissipated considerably, and he couldn't help but rub his head.
"Curse is considered a form of Resentment, or rather, an extended form of attack. Curse of this magnitude would be inflicted at the cost of someone's own life."
Upon hearing this, the two immediately understood that this must be a tactic employed by the other Prince.
They now have a much deeper understanding of the Succession War.
Give me your hand.
He pointed at Kadzuo and said.
Through this brief exchange, the two have already developed a basic level of trust in Kevin.
Kadzuo raised his hand and reached out.
As it landed in Kevin's palm, it seemed to sense something flowing from Kevin's palm into its body.
"What's this?"
"A little protection, okay, you should go back now."
"Although I could revive you right now, I don't think you'd want that, right?"
Kadzuo nodded.
Now is certainly not the time to revive her, after all, news of her death has already spread throughout the first floor.
Now, this Nen Beast state is much freer than before, which is definitely a way for her to strengthen herself and better help Fugats.
The two returned through the tunnel.
After the two left, Kevin looked at the Resentment Ball in his hand and crushed it into powder.
When are you planning to make your move?
Biscuit asked curiously.
With the Eleventh Prince's cooperation, the door could open directly to that hidden area.
That's the core of the Succession Ceremony. If Kevin gets inside, he can easily disrupt the entire Succession Ceremony.
"Let's see how things go with Pairo and Kurapika first, since we've entrusted the whole thing to them."
Kevin thought for a moment and then said.
Meanwhile, Kurapika and Pairo fell silent.
"You saw the Fourth Prince's Nen ability?"
Kurapika looked at Pairo expression was rather unpleasant.
Pairo nodded.
"I peeked through the guards' line of sight and saw it. Although I couldn't hear anything, I roughly understood the other person's Nen ability, which was more exaggerated than I had imagined."
These words made Kurapika frown.
Pairo isn't some ignorant person; the fact that the other party used the word "exaggerated" speaks volumes about the Fourth Prince's extraordinary Nen ability.
"He looks disgusting and evil; he's a perfect match for such a beast."
"The condition for activation should be closing your eyes and entering a state of absolute control. Ever since I stole their vision, they've been training on how to quickly enter this state."
Upon hearing this, Kurapika nodded and commented, "That's quite a severe limitation."
"Absolute" means to gather one's Nen Aura and draw all the Nen Aura on the surface of the body back into one's own body. This is not something that can be done easily; it requires absolute concentration.
Moreover, this situation leaves the body vulnerable, making it even less fragile than an average person.
Because ordinary people still have Qi constantly surging out from their body surface and flowing upwards, but if it's completely gone, there will be no Nen Aura at all on the body surface.
"The female guard I was spying on seemed terrified of the other party's Nen ability, but I couldn't see what the Fourth Prince's Nen ability was. I only knew that after I closed my eyes and entered the Absolute Realm, the other party stood still."
"After opening his eyes, he felt a little smug, and in ten seconds, his body might disappear and reappear from somewhere else."
That was all that Pairo saw.
The two began to analyze.
"Entering the Absolute state is a condition for activation; the faster one enters the Absolute state, the more precise the timing of activation will be."
"This is a very good time to launch an attack. If a fatal blow is delivered during the advance, Xi can deliver the final blow."
"If they get hurt, it will be impossible for them to enter the Ugly Realm."
However, this timing is not easy to grasp; you never know when the other party will suddenly enter a desperate state.
Based on what we've seen, even though things remain deadlocked after entering a state of utter despair, the other party should be in some kind of predicament at that point, making any attack pointless.
"The crucial moments are the instant he enters the Absolute Realm and the ten seconds following. His Nen ability secrets should be learned within these ten seconds."
Kurapika suddenly asked, "Do you think we can bribe this guard? From what you've said, she seems to be dissatisfied with the Fourth Prince?"
"I don't know, and it's easy to get shingles."
"Huh? He's holding your photo."
"That's what Pairo said suddenly."
Are they going to attack us?
