The Replacer

Tiny arms erupted with enough strength to strangle an adult to death.

The man suffocated to death just like that, collapsing beside the bed with an expression of frozen, incomprehensible terror on his face.

Xiao Duo, who had strangled him, and the woman holding an ashtray stood nearby, looking down at the man's corpse.

Both wore smiles on their faces. Their natural expressions and mannerisms were utterly at odds with the "murder scene" before them.

It was as though brutal realities such as attacking a husband with an ashtray or strangling a father to death with one's arms simply did not exist in their consciousness.

This was a typical phenomenon of Manipulator abilities.

Depending on the type of Manipulation ability, the target's memories and consciousness could be erased or altered to a certain extent under the effect of the ability.

Moyu, who had already returned to his room, witnessed the scene through his shadow.

"Is it a Manipulator ability?"

Moyu's gaze narrowed slightly.

"But I didn't see any aura..."

The bizarre scene immediately filled Moyu with countless doubts.

How could an ordinary little girl no older than six possibly possess enough strength to strangle an adult to death?

Unless a Manipulator Nen Ability user had controlled the girl and infused her with aura, granting her strength far beyond her own.

But the problem was—

When the girl strangled the man, no aura had manifested around her.

Moyu kept his doubts to himself.

Then, through the shadow's Vision Sharing ability, he saw an astonishing sight, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

At that moment—

Inside the family of three's room—

An incomparably dazzling burst of lightning suddenly erupted from the man's corpse. Yet it vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye, leaving behind only a black Humanoid Scorch Mark.
