Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 198 "Chrollo is alone"

Xiyou was stunned again. He found that he had a new understanding of President Netero.

And he didn't even think it was strange, this was what the president could do.

As expected of Isaac Nitro.

At the same time, he looked at the tall man in front of him and felt similar emotions.

As expected of Bjornde Nitro.

Biande raised his head and looked at the sky outside the courtyard, staring at the clouds that were either curling up or stretching, and slowly stretched out three fingers.

"Next, there are only three things I want you to do."

"The first thing is that the "Black Whale One" has been built secretly. I need the Cajun Empire to invest more in the "Dark Continent" and be fully prepared. "

"The second thing is that I want to use Germain, Jin, and Bisgui as pawns to negotiate with the old man and ask for the release of my "shackles." "

"Of course, the probability of success of the second thing is not high, so I need you to complete the third thing."

"The third thing is that I want Pariston and his "co-experts" to start working and arrange some tasks that will take at least a year and a half to complete for those "twelve branches" so that they can go as far as possible. "

Byande smiled sinisterly.

He thought again of what King had said that day, and of Germain's calm face.

"Are you going to get ahead of me no matter what? Ho ho... It doesn't matter if you two brats get ahead of me. It's just that the winner of the "Dark Continent" is the one who can survive there to the end. "

Xiyou's expression changed several times after listening to Biyang De's order.

He felt the suffocation ahead of the storm that would come in the coming months.

——

Late at night on September 14th, somewhere in the Cajun Empire.

Chrollo was silent for a long time in front of two thick white candles before opening his closed eyes.

A dry, discordant voice came from the shadows in the corner.

"Won't you take them back?"

The long-black-haired Ilmi came out and stood in front of the dim flickering candlelight, with one hand on her waist.

"They don't care where they are buried." Chrollo was referring to Wojin and Nobunaga, "What's more, there are no such conditions now."

"Well, indeed." Yi Mi opened his eyes expressionlessly, like a dead goldfish, and answered in a mechanical tone, "After all, there is a ghost who is still lingering."

What Ilmi was referring to was Hisoka.

Exactly one month has passed since the battle on the train on August 14. The train crashed into the train station and exploded, and Xiyou took the opportunity to leave.

Chrollo and Ilmi, on the other hand, were bitten by Hisoka.

Hisoka did not attack them directly, but followed them from a distance, launching sneak attacks from time to time to show his presence, and then retreated without a trace.

He seemed to regard this as a long hunting game and enjoyed it very patiently.

In order to deal with the threat of Hisoka, Chrollo and Ilmi tried various solutions.

On one occasion, Ilmi even deliberately left Chrollo for more than a week, hiding in a dark place and using Chrollo as bait.

But Hisoka was not fooled.

Chrollo and Ilmi could neither completely escape Hisoka's tracking nor catch Hisoka, so the situation remained in a stalemate.

"Hisoka wants me to find Knight, Paknotah, and Madge," Chrollo said, "or reveal their whereabouts and then kill them."

Hisoka and Germain were doing something similar, breaking off all Chrollo's helping hands.

Chrollo once said that the important thing is not the "leader" or the "members", but the "Phantom Troupe" as a whole.

If the "leader" dies, then someone will be replaced as the "leader". If the "member" dies, then "members" will be added. The most important thing is to ensure the survival of the "Phantom Troupe".

However, now that the seven members of the group, including Finks, Kubi, Fellev, Franklin, Feitan, Wojin, and Nobunaga, have died one by one, it is difficult for him to realize his original idea.

Not just anyone can replace their existence. That is more like an ideal concept, not practical.

No matter how indifferent Chrollo said, he couldn't deceive his true feelings when things reached the current situation.

He is not as cold-blooded as he imagined and can treat them all as tools.

He built the "Phantom Troupe" by himself, and then watched it gradually collapse.

If Chrollo wasn't a very determined person, would he have already suffered a mental breakdown by now?

He is now facing tremendous pressure, especially when he thinks that Germain and Hisoka may not stop and will continue to take away everything from him and the "Phantom Troupe"...

How did things evolve to the current situation?

Even Chrollo has no way of reviewing it.

At this time, Yi Mi said: "Chrollo, I think his main target is still you. This cat and mouse game will be endless as long as I am here."

"It's almost time to call it a day."

Chrollo paused and turned to look at him: "You want to leave?"

"Yeah." Yi Mi didn't mean to mince words, and said directly, "Anyway, I am Hisoka's second pick. He will only come to me if he wants to kill you, and he will go to Germain only if he kills me."

"If it's handled well, maybe he will go to Germain first."

"In addition, I received intelligence not long ago that someone saw my brother. He has been away from home for almost half a year. My mother is very worried and asked me to bring him home."

Chrollo lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and replied, "I have no ability to restrain you. It's up to you to do whatever you want."

"I will return all the price you paid." Yi Mi then said, "Since the task has not been completed, the price cannot be collected. This is a humiliation for the "beating the enemy family". "

Chrollo pursed his lips and said nothing.

Yi Mi ignored Chrollo and turned around to leave. After a while, his figure disappeared into the night.

The draft blew through the hall like a howling ghost, and the candle flame swayed until it almost broke away from the wick.

The shadows in the abandoned building were swaying wildly like demons, and it was no longer possible to tell which one was which.

——

The next morning, Germain woke up from a good night's sleep and felt refreshed by the cool breeze.

He started the simplest daily practice of basic and advanced mind energy. After sweating profusely, he took a shower and changed his clothes before picking up the mobile phone on the bedside.

There are text messages from many people on the phone, such as the text message "Everything goes well, see you later" from Bisji.

Germain scrolled for a while and saw a text message from a person named "Pervert".

The "pervert" always sends text messages one-sidedly.

Sometimes it’s greetings, sometimes it’s selfies and landscape photos that I don’t understand, and sometimes it’s some strange insights or observations.

"Ilmi left Chrollo again. I wonder if it's a trap this time? It's really interesting and worth observing for a while."

"Chrollo's expression now is really something I never get tired of. I really want to keep it forever...Germain, who do you think will win in the end between Chrollo and me?"

As usual, Germain did not reply to Hisoka's text message, but got up and went out, and then met Xiaodi in the restaurant.

The two said hello and started eating breakfast. Not long after finishing breakfast, Jin walked in quickly.

"Are you still eating?" Jin was a little surprised, "Bisji is ready, and now we're going to start trying to teleport."

After he finished speaking, he reached out and picked up a sandwich on the dining table, stuffed it into his mouth, waved to Germain and Xiaodi, and turned around to leave.

Germain and Xiaodi tidied up and followed.

The three of them came to the depths of the castle, an empty hall specially used to establish contact with the "mansion stronghold". It was surrounded by walls and was pitch black, just like a dungeon in the castle.

Jin clicked and pressed the switch on the wall, and the fluorescent lamp came on.

He handed Xiaodi a "card" and said, "Bisji said, let you go over first and return the "Fiery Eyes" to Kurapika for disposal, and then you can come over together." "

"Okay." Xiaodi took the "card".

To enter the "Island of Greed" from the outside world, "game players" need "game consoles", "cassettes", "rings" and "mind energy" to enter the "Island of Greed" at Yida.

To leave "Greed Island", "game players" need "spell cards" and "rings", and select the "teleport location" from Elena.

Although the process is a bit cumbersome, it all requires "restrictions and oaths".

The "Administrator" has high authority and the required conditions can be reduced. For example, if Xiaodi leaves now, he does not need a "ring", only an "Administrator special card" is enough, and there is no need to go through Elena.

The principle is similar to the "Administrator Exclusive Exclusion Card" used by Leza in the original timeline against the "Phantom Troupe" who tried to break into the "Island of Greed".

Xiaodi used the "Administrator's Exclusive Teleportation Card" and quickly disappeared on the spot.

Ten minutes passed before Xiaodi, reminded by Bisji, remembered to report that she was safe, so she sent a text message to Germain.

"I have arrived and am handing over "Fiery Eyes" to Kurapika. "

Germain replied, "Okay," then looked up and said to Kim, "Everything is going well with them."

"Okay." Jin seemed to be prepared and pulled out a camp bed from the corner, placed it on the ground, and then lay down on it. "I'll sleep for a while. When they come, wake me up."

Then, he picked up the tattered hat, covered his face, put his hands on the back of his head, and really fell asleep on the folding bed.

Germain also felt a little bored, so instead of waiting in the room, he went outside and walked around.

As a result, half an hour later, Bisiji, Xiaodi, Menqi, Buhara and Abengani were teleported into the hall, and only Jin, who was sleeping heavily, was seen here.

Germain only returned here after being reminded by Bisji. This is another story.
