The Past of Razor and Ging × Breathing Style Makes Its First Appearance

Among them are Razor, Gotoh, Elena... and Jin...

These images played out one by one in Roy's mind like a film reel. The Sun-Earring Boy's consciousness was immersed in the scene. He stepped into Razor's heart, next to the one closest to Razor. In the middle of the scene, there was a tall man with his arms crossed, his back to Roy, watching the memories replay in front of him one by one with a blank expression.

He said softly, "Who do we have here? It's you."

Razor raised his hand and grabbed a picture. It was a picture of him as a child, being abused by his alcoholic father, enduring his father's belt, and being held tightly in his mother's arms.

"Crying... what are you crying for... damn it, if it weren't for you two dragging me down, I'd be living a much more carefree life!"

"Slap... slap..."

The father's furious scolding... the woman's screams as the belt buckled against her back, and the trembling Sun-Earring Boy in his arms, his eyes filled with terror, appeared frame by frame.

Roy stopped beside Razor and listened as he said, "If you want to hear my story, just open your mouth and I'll tell you."

There's no need to spy.

Etan, "Would you believe me if I said I didn't mean it?"

While physically present in the Hunter Demon Slayer, his consciousness resided in the Demon Slayer universe. The Sun-Earring Boy witnessed the man in the scene, exhausted from his tirade, staggering as he grabbed the woman's hair and dragged her into the bedroom, locking the door behind him. Razor was left alone, frantically pounding on the door in vain, adding an explanation, "I just had a bit of an understanding, but I didn't quite get the hang of it. Please forgive me."

"What kind of ability do you have?"

"The Heart Worm. You've probably noticed that anyone connected to me can be invaded through the Heart Worm to access their heart, read their memories, and understand their past."

"That's really weird." Razor, letting the image fly away, and turned to look at the Sun-Earring Boy seriously, saying, "I suddenly regret knowing you."

Anyone who has even the slightest connection with Sun-Earring Boy will have their memories and past accessed. What's the difference between that and running naked in front of Sun-Earring Boy?

Roy shook his head. "It's not as exaggerated as you think. The deeper the involvement, the more you can read, just like..."

Roy pointed to the alcoholic man who had just appeared in the frame and said, "I can't see his memories or his past."

"That's my dad," Razor said expressionlessly. "There's nothing to know about an alcoholic and abusive man."

Roy nodded. "So, you killed him?"

"He asked for it, and... I didn't kill him." Razor out, and another memory appeared in his hand: a woman cornered against a wall by four or five burly men, clutching her chest, screaming for help, but her arms were forcibly pried open and her clothes stripped off. She was assaulted for nearly two hours until the Sun-Earring Boy returned home...

She was completely naked, like a rag doll being brutally abused. Seeing Razor return home, she smiled at him, then... stood up, facing the sunlight, and walked to the window. In the Sun-Earring Boy's suddenly wide-eyed gaze... she opened her arms, closed her eyes, grabbed the windowsill, and plunged headfirst downwards... "Bang!"

With a muffled thud... the woman turned into a withering flower of blood.

"Mom!"

Roy heard the Sun-Earring Boy's roar, saw young Razor to the window, grabbing at the empty hand, and... in his despair, he suddenly unleashed a storm of Nen Qi!

There was a moment of silence.

It should be noted that there are only three ways for ordinary people to become "Nen user": one is innate, possessing extraordinary talent, and the other is to unlock it through meditation;

Second, by having other Nen user stimulate the Aura Nodes, forcibly opening them;

Third, having been greatly stimulated, Razor was clearly the latter...

"I killed him... he... he..." Razor let the images fly by, his hand like a ladle, reaching into the river of his own memories, scooping out images one by one... these were the images of him killing the strong men who had humiliated his mother, cornered her against the wall, threatened her to hand over the property, and forced her to jump off a building to commit suicide. They were also his enemies.

"Hayes... Blake... Mauli... Thorn..."

The last one had his head blown off by a Nen Bullet just a few days ago; his name was... Adrian Red!

It's said that he's now a minor gang leader, and the footage shows him writhing on top of his lover when Razor in through the window, grabs him by the back of the neck, lifts him up like a chick, and punches him to death...

"Clap clap clap..." Roy clapped his hands in praise, "Well done!"

"I think so too." Razor smiled with relief, "If my mother knew this in the afterlife, she would definitely think the same way."

"She will." Roy finished skimming through Razor's story, then suddenly heard the man say, "Is it too late to break off our friendship now?"

A notification sound from the control panel then rang in my ears.

[Hint: Your "Potential Believer" Razor has gained +5 to his loyalty due to his openness to you]

Roy:

Guai glanced at Razor, then gave him a mischievous smile and said, "Too late, Jin said the same thing."

"Hehehe..." Razor softly, suppressing his laughter, "We've really gotten on a pirate ship."

Who can argue with that?

The Sun-Earring Boy blinked, his consciousness gradually fading, leaving Razor's heart, passing through the Heart Bug, and then entering Jin's heart.

In Room 7403 of the Seaside Hotel, Vibis...

The man, with Feicha's Parrot perched on his shoulder, eyes closed, his consciousness lost in thought, revealed himself. He stood there in the vast field of his heart, staring blankly at the scene before him. A boy with spiky hair, carrying a red beaded fishing rod on his shoulder and always wearing a green tracksuit, stood with his back to him, talking to the Sun-Earring Boy with a slightly messy stubble on his chin.

After a long pause, Jin spoke softly, addressing Roy who had appeared beside him. "To be honest, I've considered that the Zoldyck must have incredibly deep resources to stand at the pinnacle of assassins and become the world's number one assassin family, but..."

Jin tilted his head and looked at the Sun-Earring Boy, saying, "I never imagined it would be this profound!"

Golden eyes gleamed as he stared intently at Roy, scrutinizing him. "If Silva Zoldyck and Zeno Zoldyck were both like you, with their abilities constantly manifesting, that would be truly terrifying."

"You're afraid too?"

"Certainly."

Jin glanced at Roy, then pointed to the Sun-Earring Boy standing beside "the weathered man" in the image and said, "Don't let him turn around. I don't want to see him yet."

"Do you know who he is?" Roy raised an eyebrow and glanced at him sideways.

Jin crossed his arms and snorted, "Who else could it be but my son?"

The man rolled his eyes. "Those who slay dragons become dragons themselves; those who foresee the future are devoured by it. Roy, you've given yourself away."

Jin hooked his foot, lifting a thin thread. The two ends of the thread connected him and the Young Master, which was the Thread of Causality between Roy and Jin, created by their bond.

"As expected..." Roy sincerely praised, "No wonder he's Nen user. At least... Razor didn't notice."

"It's not that he didn't see it, but... he simply didn't have that understanding." Jin Qing twisted the Thread of Causality, a milky-white thin thread that looked no different from the Nen Thread, yet it couldn't be pulled or burned. Unless the memories of the two parties connected were erased, it would continue forever until both parties perished.

"Snap!" The three-second vision of the future expired, and the image of Gon and Ging meeting atop the withered World Tree shattered like a mirror...

With a complex mix of melancholy and regret, Jin sighed, then looked at the Sun-Earring Boy with a deep gaze and said, "Razor knew nothing of ' Faith,' and never imagined... that you, Roy Zoldyck, would one day embark on this path of no return —'Faith '!"

"The dragon slayer becomes the dragon himself. Since you can see this," Roy calmly met King's gaze, "It means you've also embarked on this path!"

Have you read "New Continent Travelogue"?

"Have you been to the Dark Continent?"

"No."

"No."

In the vast expanse of their hearts, the man and the Sun-Earring Boy spoke at the same time, then fell silent at the same time, as if across time and space they saw another version of themselves, equally adventurous and exploratory. For a moment, they both stopped talking and fell silent.

"Whoosh..." Jin's past, in the form of images, appeared one after another on the screen of his heart.

There were heartwarming scenes of him and Mito living on Whale Island as children; the scene of a man fishing out the Swamp King for the first time in the forest; the scene of him saying goodbye to Mito, comforting a crying little girl, swearing he would definitely return, but in reality he was participating in the Hunter Exam, then exploring ruins, and never returning... until, Roy saw Ging helping a woman out of an ice coffin... The scene trembled...

With a flick of his sleeves, Jin vanished completely.

The woman... Roy noticed Kim's unusual behavior and quietly memorized her appearance.

Jin said, "That's my wife. You don't need to see what happens between us."

As he spoke, he sensed a sense of rejection... Roy's consciousness faded, and he withdrew from Jin's heart, and then...

Then, using the third and fourth Heart Worm, they took a trip through the past of Gotoh and Elena respectively, before returning to Demon Slayer...

The Sun-Earring Boy awoke from his "meditation" to find himself surrounded by a group of people.

There are nine pillars, including Shinazugawa Sanemi Himejima Gyomei, Rengoku Kyojuro, Giyu Tomioka, Giyu Tomioka Tokito Muichiro, and Muichiro Tokito.

Roy smiled and shared with everyone the training method for "Nen" (Divine Power), also known as the [Four Major Principles]. Slowly... he absorbed and buried the remaining images in his mind. After a while, he, along with Ubuyashiki Kagaya and the Nine Pillars, began to discuss the battle plan to defeat Muzan Kibutsuji.

"I know Muzan Kibutsuji; he is actually a sensitive, suspicious, cowardly, and weak person by nature."

Ubuyashiki Kagaya was able to sit up on his own. After a short rest, his body gradually regained the lightness he had in his youth, and even his voice and speech became stronger and faster...

"So, just as I told Eiichiro last time, based on the intelligence I've gathered recently, he's probably planning to retreat again... until Eiichiro dies before he comes out of seclusion."

Admittedly, compared to the long lifespan of demons, humans are like fleeting flowers, existing only for a short time. Moreover... Roy currently has the fatal condition of being Curse... He has no intention of, and does not intend to, Muzan time with Muzan.

"Blue Spider Lily... let's see if he can resist the temptation to become Perfect Being..."

It was the morning of April 27th, 1987, the second year of the Taisho Hunter Calendar).

After a night-long Hashira Meeting, Roy and Ubuyashiki Kagaya, using the "Blue Spider Lily" as a pretext, discussed a battle plan with the Pillars. That night, they left the Ubuyashiki Clan's stronghold, casually killing a few Demon and gaining thirty points of Life Energy...

Afterwards, they will return to the Hunter world through "deep sleep" and a colorful Dream Passage.

After his usual morning run, Ren took Gotoh to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, preparing for their trip to the underwater wonderland to capture the "Elephant Tapir".

Today's breakfast consisted of mashed potatoes with chickpeas, sausage and fried eggs with buttered bread, and a bowl of fresh seafood soup. The Sun-Earring Boy ate his meal slowly and methodically under Gotoh's care, ordering the butler to sit with him and eat together. He didn't need to follow so many rules when he was out.

"Whoosh~" Several chairs opposite them were pulled aside one after another by two men and a woman... Jin and Razor sat down next to Roy, one after the One Queen. The two of them and Elena pushed up their blue-light glasses on their noses and glanced at Roy.

The Sun-Earring Boy smacked his lips on a spoonful of mashed potatoes, his expression calm, as if he knew nothing of what had happened the night before, and treated the stares of the crowd as nothing.

A soft cough broke the awkward silence... Jin gave Elena a wink.

The woman gave Roy another deep look, recalling how he had suddenly appeared in her "dream" last night, startling her. She composed herself, and using her Nen Ability [Master of the Situation], conjured a bright blue screen. She addressed the group. "I've already rented a boat. We'll depart at nine o'clock this morning and are expected to arrive at the target area at two o'clock this afternoon, after which..."

Elena looked around. "It all depends on everyone's abilities. We need to find a way to withstand the water pressure to reach the bottom of the sea and enter the ruins."

Human diving ability is not Infinite. Due to water pressure and the fact that oxygen becomes increasingly scarce as you go deeper into the ocean, to the point where there is virtually no oxygen at all, simply achieving the initial goal of "reaching the seabed" is an impossible task for a normal person!

After finishing his breakfast, Roy slowly wiped his mouth with a tissue, glancing casually at Kim, disbelieving that Kim had done his research beforehand and wouldn't be unprepared.

"[Water Repulsion] This is a Nen Ability I learned before." Noticing Roy and Razor looking at him, Jin picked up where Elena left off, holding up three fingers. "It allows me to freely enter and exit the seabed, unrestricted by water pressure and oxygen. The condition... I can only carry two people, including myself."

Excluding him and Elena, that means... Roy, Razor, and Gotoh must choose one of them, and the remaining two... will have to figure it out themselves.

"I don't need it." Whether it's water pressure or oxygen, in the end, it tests a person's cardiopulmonary capacity... But Roy, who has mastered the Breathing Style, is most skilled in "cardiopulmonary capacity." To put it bluntly, even without "Sun Breathing," just relying on the water-soluble properties of "Water Breathing"... Roy enters the water like a fish in water, swimming with ease.

"Young Master, no need; I don't need it either." Master and servant were of one mind; Roy thought of this, and so did Gotoh.

He followed Roy's path, standing to the side...

Razor looked at the two of them thoughtfully and said, "Is it going to be through ' Water Breathing '?"

Kim and Elena raised their eyebrows and looked at each other. "?"
