Discussion X Capture
Kevin looked at the people in front of him.
These are the same people I used to only see on TV.
The old man sitting by the door stood up and shook hands with Kevin.
"Mr. Kevin, it's an honor to meet you."
Damn it, you old geezer.
The old man was just complaining and grumbling, but now he's the first one to rush up there.
Everyone stood up as well.
It was neither overly enthusiastic nor overly indifferent.
Kevin, of course, had to maintain respect and shake hands with everyone.
"In my opinion, none of you have any problems."
Kevin knew exactly what they needed most right now, so he spoke directly.
When everyone heard this, they all silently breathed a sigh of relief.
"But—that guy over there..."
As Kevin spoke, everyone's hearts tightened, and they looked at the other people in the room, following Kevin's gaze.
Of course, there were not only the five of them in the room, but also their translators, security personnel, and various secretaries.
Kevin was referring to a clerk.
He stood right behind President Saheluta.
Upon hearing this, the president of Saheluta immediately stood up and moved to the side.
Seeing the gazes of the crowd, the clerk clearly already understood and wasn't surprised at all.
"So, is there something you want to tell me?"
Kevin asked directly.
In his view, since the other party clearly knew that they could distinguish the difference between them, then out of caution, most of the people in the building who had been parasitized had probably already escaped by various means before he arrived.
Surprisingly, there really was one hidden inside.
That means the other party definitely has something to say.
"Kevin, humanity will eventually be destroyed, eventually wiped out to its fullest extent, and you cannot stop it."
As he spoke, his head lolled to the side, and he committed suicide without hesitation.
His body instantly entered a state of immortality.
The body that had just fallen to the ground suddenly stood up again, its eyes lifeless, and it entered a shell-like state.
The surrounding security personnel were already prepared and pounced on him, subduing him instantly.
"As expected, they're afraid of you."
"President of the Ochima Federation," the old man just remarked.
Why are they willing to gather here and wait for Kevin?
Besides the achievements of Kevin's team on the Dark Continent, another important reason was that after learning of Kevin's arrival, people around them gradually escaped through various means.
This indicates that Parasite People have indeed infiltrated their surroundings, and these Parasite People have indeed fled out of fear of Kevin.
This further proves Kevin's role.
"Mr. Kevin, you're truly amazing. To thank you for your help, please come here—"
Before the old man could speak, he was interrupted by the person next to him.
"They're pushing their luck."
The old man clearly wanted to find a way to bring Kevin to his country first, and then conduct a thorough purge within his own country.
Other countries naturally cannot accept this.
"That's so rude. I was just thanking him for his help."
This old man is so shameless; he doesn't even blush or skip a beat.
Taking advantage of the safe environment where there were no Parasite People around, these leaders immediately began to discuss the matter.
Kevin and Netero happen to be here.
"The first places we need to target are the launch sites of tactical weapons from various countries."
"That would be too slow. Our bases are scattered throughout the country, and some are abroad, while our respective countries are scattered all over the world."
"But there's only one person like Mr. Kevin. If we ran around to each and every one of them, how long would it take?"
Have you ever thought about this?
"Moreover, after today's incident, these Parasite People must know our thoughts, and they will only intensify their actions."
"External wars are unavoidable. Not everyone is as rational as we are. When war breaks out, we must also be responsible for our own people."
And so, Kevin sat there listening to them argue.
The six people present were all leaders of major powers, including the Ninth Prince, whom Kevin knew very well.
But the Ninth Prince had clearly already become part of the group, and when he argued, he was completely unreasonable.
After all, it's all for the interests of their respective countries, so at this point, they must fight for every inch.
But it really affects efficiency.
Just then, Kevin felt the time was right.
He said, "Then let's spread the word. The Parasite People have already gained momentum, and the problem will only get worse and harder to solve."
"Since the situation is only going to get worse, it's only a matter of time before it's fully exposed to the public. Conversely, keeping it hidden will only lead to more serious problems, so there's nothing left to hide."
"This can also be packaged as a punishment for the dangers suffered during the exploration of the Dark Continent. And that is indeed the case."
"Furthermore, this once again proves the danger of the Dark Continent. After re -Blockade the Dark Continent at the level of ordinary people, following public opinion and sealing it Blockade with a more serious attitude, we can also eliminate the influence brought about by the Kakin Empire."
Although, in the minds of ordinary people, they had already arrived at the Dark Continent.
That is, a hypothetical New Continent.
But their actions were not intended to restrict ordinary people, but rather to curb those ambitious individuals.
"Why?"
One of them looked at Kevin and asked.
Because they knew more or less about these things, and wanted to explore the ambitions of the people of the Dark Continent.
Kevin's return this time will most likely be to assemble an even larger team to begin exploration. Various countries are willing to provide funding because Kevin has already succeeded, and is the most successful one at that.
"According to the previous exploration contract, information and data regarding the exploration of the Dark Continent must be shared, and I have no intention of breaching this contract."
Kevin took out a document from his pocket and said directly, "The data is stored in a file, and the information inside is extremely impactful for humanity today."
"Let me start with the most serious one: the human world is a protective circle, protecting all of you."
"According to the rules of the Dark Continent, the Undying disease and the Parasite People crisis we are currently experiencing are a disaster caused by overpopulation of certain populations."
"This kind of disaster can be avoided. Perhaps that's why our ancestors led humanity to the islands in the middle of the lake and Blockade the human world."
As he spoke, Kevin raised his hands to indicate their current level of civilization.
"It is precisely because of this Blockade that we have such a large population and a magnificent civilization."
But precisely because of this, we can never colonize the Dark Continent; the past explorations involving thousands of people were extremely deadly.
"If it weren't for the previous crushing defeats, with only a few survivors, they would have returned with a fatal problem long ago. But this time, a thousand people returned, and the problem naturally surfaced."
None of the people present were fools; after listening to Kevin's explanation, they immediately understood the overall situation.
"So you want to impose a complete Blockade, but in essence, you are actually loosening control over the Dark Continent, at least making the conditions easier than before."
"Only a small number of individuals are allowed to explore the Dark Continent, in the form of elite teams? The number of participants is strictly limited?"
One of them immediately came up with a plan and asked.
Kevin nodded; that was exactly what he meant.
"My advice is never to exceed a thousand people. If we leave room for those who might try to cross the border illegally, then the total number of people should not exceed eight hundred."
"Therefore, I suggest that exploration slots be allocated only to Hunter x Hunter with Hunter License, since the number of slots is exactly equal."
The scarcity of Hunter License has kept the total number of Hunter x Hunter around five hundred.
Throughout its history, the Hunter Association has had so many Chairman, but none of them have ever exceeded this number.
Even with the current population explosion, this number remains around five hundred.
At its weakest, it had three or four hundred, but when it expanded, it could reach six hundred.
But that's basically the limit.
The Dark Continent, however, will only consume even more resources from people.
Therefore, the quantity is easy to maintain.
Netero glanced at Kevin.
This matter was not discussed beforehand.
But this is indeed a good thing for the Hunter Association, as it gives them more power.
In essence, the Hunter Association doesn't have much power, after all, it's a non-governmental organization.
The reason why the Hunter Association seems to hold such high positions and great power is entirely due to Netero's personal abilities.
They quickly agreed to the proposal.
Because of the urgency of the situation, many proposals are being bypassed with lengthy procedures and discussions.
Now that a true expert has arrived in the exploration of the Dark Continent, they can only provide assistance to some extent and can no longer maintain their dominant position.
I need their help now, there's nothing I can do.
These individuals already have a clear understanding of how to maintain balance and how to do what needs to be done.
Various ideas came together quickly, and then were immediately approved.
The entire plan to Parasite People was completed in about half the time.
The main task fell to the Hunter Association. Kevin was in charge of capturing and pursuing the Parasite People, while Netero was in charge of coordinating all other matters.
The other countries will cooperate to the highest degree.
The news that they were about to be tested quickly spread to all the Military Base.
Many people managed to escape the Military Base that day, and this was documented.
"That works! Your name certainly has a lot of influence."
Netero looked at the report in his hand and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Kevin obviously couldn't visit so many Military Base in one day, so he just sent out this notice to scare them a little.
Surprisingly, it actually worked.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, all Military Base immediately began to seal off all weapons and install remote-controlled demolition devices.
They wanted to take this opportunity to move, which was understandable, but this method was sufficient.
Then a new architecture was reintroduced, specifically designed to target the Parasite People.
Of course, such a lightweight architecture cannot completely target the Parasite People, but it can at least slow down the parasitic process, from the start of parasitism to the final, free launch, which will take at least ten days to half a month.
This delay is enough.
The Parasite People soon realized it had been tricked, but then it realized that it would take a considerable amount of time to re-enter the Military Base to parasitize at this point.
They decided to start contributing in other departments.
Various protests have broken out in different countries as international frictions have become public, even though this was not the intention of any particular nation.
A country is both a whole and a loosely connected entity.
It is impossible for the internal structure to be completely unified.
With Parasite People causing trouble and instilling fear, chaos is inevitable.
The countries did not hesitate to issue a joint notification.
In an instant, everyone was filled with trepidation, but precisely because of this, people from different countries immediately understood the various behaviors of their own nations.
Taking this opportunity, many people shifted blame for old cases and various other issues onto the Parasite People.
Yes, they did it.
Looking at these reports, Kevin couldn't help but rub his temples.
They really know how to exploit loopholes.
"A bunch of idiots," Netero cursed without any politeness.
"Why do you say that?" Kevin asked from the side.
He lacks political acumen and is even less adept at these intricacies.
Therefore, to avoid these troublesome matters, he needed to cooperate with Netero and work together with the Hunter Association.
Embark on an exploration of the Dark Continent.
Netero pointed to the information on the report and said.
"By doing so, they are also handing over the noose that will hang them to others."
"Since these old cases were committed by Parasite People, are you, the people involved, also Parasite People?"
"I suspect that some people within various countries are now using this pretext to purge them, which is simpler than before, without causing any waves or turmoil, and actually reduces the overall losses in the process."
The two chatted.
Suddenly Biscuit walked in.
We've arrived.
The two quickly put the documents away and left, their vehicle driving directly into the building next door.
In just half an hour, Kevin caught all the Parasite People in the entire building.
The total number reached sixteen.
"Sixteen of them? Are we living in Parasite People's den?"
The president of the Minba Republic roared, cursing at his subordinates while also venting his fear.
That's right, they're doing something underhanded.
Kevin declared that he would go to all Military Base to arrest the Parasite People.
But no action was actually taken.
Once the Parasite People realized it had been tricked, there was nothing it could do.
Under normal circumstances, Kevin should indeed have taken action and conducted a search in that area first.
These tactical weapons are far too destructive.
Taking this opportunity, the leaders of various countries immediately summoned all the key personnel in important positions and relevant staff for a meeting.
In essence, it is to screen these important personnel, whose positions are too important, so their integrity must be guaranteed.
That's how this scene came about.
"Want to commit suicide?"
Kevin looked at the three Parasite People trapped by the Time Drop and asked with a smile.
However, even under these circumstances...
Despite being targeted by the three Parasite People, Kevin still managed to commit suicide.
It was a complete suicide of the mind and soul; it seemed to be merely the withdrawal of the personality that had been residing in this body.
Not controlled by the Time Drop.
"So we failed again, and they'll definitely be more vigilant from now on."
Biscuit said with some distress.
Kevin shook his head.
"No, I've already caught them."
As he spoke, Kevin no longer concealed himself, and his Nen Aura expanded outwards in a circle.
It instantly enveloped the entire city.
No one could escape.
"We've got you!"
Every Parasite People in the city has nowhere to hide.
He finally found the characteristics of these Parasite People, and he could discover their special features without seeing them in person.
Even the slightest, imperceptible detail.
But ultimately, it's not human.
