Hunter x Hunter: Kurama joins the Phantom Troupe

Ace pointed at the unconscious hunter at his feet and explained quickly.

Just now, this hunter suddenly fainted behind Ace, and Ace became the first suspect without knowing why...

"Wait, wait, wait, this is a misunderstanding." (Ace)

"Hey, hey, hey, hey! There can't be no surveillance cameras in the Hunter Association's headquarters building. I really didn't kill this guy..." (Ace)

Ace looked at Gert, who was wearing a suit, and waved his hand to explain.

Gert was accompanied by a middle-aged man in martial arts uniform and a young man in casual clothes.

It seems that there is another person around the corner who is looking for trouble...

"Really... How could someone suddenly faint..." (Ace's inner voice)

"It's really hard to deal with... If all else fails, I might as well just knock these guys out..." (Ace's inner voice)

The hands hidden in the sleeves of the robe have begun to move, ready to attack the three people opposite at any time.

"At best, there are only three Huashi Doulang. In their current state, they should be able to kill them instantly. But Jin is a problem. Try to cooperate with the investigation as much as possible. It will not be good if your identity is exposed..." (Ace's inner voice)

"Please cooperate with us in the investigation." (Gert)

"OK, OK." (Ace)

Ace leaned against the wall and watched Gert squat down to check on the fainted hunter...

And the guy in martial arts uniform was arranged by Gert to watch the surveillance.

"Sori, go and request access to the surveillance footage from K6." (Gert)

"Understood." (Sorry)

"So his name is Sori..." (Ace's inner voice)

Sori turned and left...

Not long after, Sori came back, squatted down, and said something in Gert's ear.

After listening to this, Gert pondered for a long time, finally nodded, and whispered to Sori.

"OK, let's do as you say." (Gert)

Then he raised his head and said to Ace:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ace, we misunderstood. You can leave now." (Gert)

Ace turned and left...

The next second, she felt something moving behind her and instinctively dodged it. A chain appeared on her finger...

There was a tearing sound, and a chain with a sickle at the end passed over her right shoulder...

"As expected... With this reaction speed, she could have avoided being caught on camera." (Sori)

"Well, I'm sorry... Mr. Ace, it seems that your suspicion has not been completely cleared. I hope you..." (Gert)

The moment Gert's eyes fell on Ace's right shoulder, he froze in his place...

The clothing on Ace's right shoulder was torn, revealing the smooth and delicate skin underneath and the spider tattoo...

"Spider... No. 4..." (Gert)

A rapier shot out from Gert's sleeve...

The other two also saw the spider tattoo as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Sori manipulated the chain to wrap it around his arms, while the young man in casual clothes took out a special slingshot. As he pulled the rubber band, a thought appeared on the slingshot...

"It seems that things have become more complicated. Mr. Ace, can you explain to us... why there is a Phantom Troupe mark on your right shoulder?" (Gert)

"Damn it..." (Ace's inner voice)

Ace was silent for a while, then suddenly stepped on the floor, causing it to break instantly. The cement underneath was also broken into pieces and flew everywhere...

Ace used the rocks as cover to quickly penetrate the defense of the three people and rushed past Jin...

The hunter holding the slingshot loosened his fingers and shot the slingshot at Ace's right arm, leaving a bleeding wound. However, Ace still left at the speed of light without looking back...

"Chase!" (Gert)

……

"OK, I understand. I've sent you the location. I'll wait for you here." (Xia Ke)

Through the conversation, the knight also understood Ace's embarrassing situation at the moment and decisively extended a helping hand.

In a few minutes, Ace arrived at the park where the knight was.

"Wait...what are you wearing?!" (Ace)

Ace looked at the knight in high school uniform in front of him with some shock...

"Are you going to college?!" (Ace)

"Isn't this to pick you up? Disguise yourself." (Knight)

"You... forget it..." (Ace)

Ace took the backpack handed over by the knight and took out the clothes inside...

"Wait... this one?!" (Ace)

Ace looked at the knight with scrutiny...

"What are you doing with my cosplay costume from ten thousand years ago..." (Ace)

"Ah...hahaha...hahaha..." (Knight)

……

Gert looked at Sweden beside him and asked:

"How's it going? Archer, can you still detect it?" (Gert)

"The six minutes are up. I can't keep tracking the bullets any longer. But the target isn't too far from us. If we move faster, we might still be able to catch up." (Sweden)

"Then why don't you lead the way quickly! This is the first time our "catcher" has met a member of the Spider!" (Sori)

Sori swung the sickle lock in his hand and said excitedly.

"Don't underestimate the enemy..." (Gert)

……

Soon, the three of them arrived at the park where Xiake and Ace had met just now.

Looking around, there was no one around except for a high school girl who was reading a magazine and dozing off on a bench.

"Could it be her?" (Gert)

Gert pointed at the girl with long red hair and a sailor suit in the distance and asked Sweden.

"That's unlikely... that guy is a man, and this one is a woman..." (Sori)

"It's also possible that she was a woman disguised as a man... I left a wound on that guy's arm. He summoned chains, so he must be a person with materialization abilities. It's impossible for the wound to heal in a few minutes." (Sweden)

"I'll go and try it out, maybe I can get some information." (Gert)

Gert put the rapier back into his sleeve, walked up to the girl, and asked in a gentlemanly manner:

"Little guy, why are you here alone? A very dangerous criminal might have passed by just now. Did you notice it?" (Gert)

The girl raised her head and yawned, then shook her head, leaving a mark on her face from the bench railing.

After a short pause, she said:

"Sorry, uncle, I just fell asleep accidentally. I didn't notice the fugitive you mentioned." (Red-haired girl)

"Hah... ummm..." (Red-haired girl)

At this moment, the sword stabbed at her. The girl froze in place, and it took her a while to react...

The sword lifted up her sleeve, revealing the smooth and moist skin underneath.

"It doesn't matter, go back as soon as possible. If a girl like you falls into the hands of those guys, what will happen?" (Gert)

The red-haired girl stood up and ran out of the park in panic...

Sori and Sveden walked up to Gert and asked:

"No suspicion?" (Sorry, Sweden)

"No, her eyes aren't lying. Her arm is intact and there's no tattoo. That guy is probably a materialization type. He shouldn't be able to recover so quickly. He's probably just a student nearby." (Gert)

"And... if someone is powerful, it is impossible for him to not react to my temptation." (Gert)

"Since you can tell there's nothing wrong with it, then it shouldn't be. After all, you're a master at detecting panic..." (Sweden)

"What the hell! I finally found a spider, but it ran away!" (Sori)

Sori removed the chains, and Sweden put the special slingshot back into his pocket...

……

The red-haired girl walked into a remote alley and saw a blond "boy" in a high school uniform leaning against the wall with his eyes closed.

The knight opened his eyes when he heard footsteps.

"Ace, you're back. How are you?" (Knight)

"Wow... you won the bet, they didn't recognize me... What's the matter, do I look that young?" (Ace)

"Then you won't forget our agreement..." (Knight)

Ace turned his head away...

"Of course not. I'll help you test out that new antenna of yours." (Ace) [slightly annoyed]

"There's no need to be so sad. You don't have to be like this even if you look younger... Don't you think I look younger than you?" (Xia Ke)

"What? You look younger than me... Compared to that, what's the difference between me and a life-size figurine..." (Ace)

"It's a smaller life-size figurine..." (Knight) [whispering]

"Hmph..." (Ace)

"Okay, don't be angry anymore. Do you want me to go shopping with you to relax? " (Xia Ke)

"No, I'm not in the mood..." (Ace)

"My eyes feel a little uncomfortable..." (Ace)

Ace whispered as he lowered his head and removed the contact lenses from his eyes.

The knight took Ace into his arms and looked at her eyes that changed again...

"Why...you don't plan to hide from me?" (Knight)

"You are actually from the Sult tribe..." (Knight)

"Since everyone has seen it, it shouldn't be hard to guess... Besides, you don't want to dig my eyes out, do you?" (Ace)

Ace gently pushed the knight's arm away and got out of his embrace.

"By the way, what did you get me... I originally wanted you to get me my martial arts uniform, but you gave me a school uniform, and it's even a short skirt underneath..." (Ace)

"Tell me the truth, did you do this on purpose?" (Ace)

Ace tugged at the hem of her skirt...

The knight scratched his hair awkwardly and chose to change the subject.

"By the way, your hair..." (Knight)

Ace pointed at his long red hair, untied the hair tie behind his back, and said:

"Don't worry, it's just dyed. This kind of pigment won't stick. I'll go back and wash my hair and it will change back." (Ace)

He then lifted up his right sleeve, removing the disguise and revealing the spider tattoo underneath.

"Those guys are still far from being good enough. If they weren't at the center of the storm and could be used to stir up hype, they wouldn't even be able to leave the Hunter Association." (Ace)

"Okay, let's go. I'll take you back first. Can you tell me how you acted so young on the way?" (Xia Ke)

"That's annoying..." (Ace)

After listening to Ace's superb performance...

"Oscar owes you a little golden man, Ace..." (Knight)

"To be precise, you are usually like that in front of us..." (The Knight's Voice)

……

That night, in a hotel, Gert and the other two gathered in front of a computer, searching for information about the Phantom Troupe as usual...

Suddenly, a picture on the dark web caught their attention...

It was a wanted poster, and one of the wanted people was the red-haired girl from the daytime...

Except for the hair color and the outfit, everything else is exactly the same...

At this moment, a crack appeared in the space behind them, and a scarred man was thrown in from the other side of the crack...

And a blond man in iron armor also ran out from the crack...

"Iai! Doctor! What are you doing..." (Gert)

"We...we were too careless. Their leader...that man was too scary..." (Iai)

……

In this issue, we will introduce the original organization of the author that appears in this chapter:

"Spider Catcher"

The Spider Catchers are a ten-man team formed by the one-star crime hunter Gert and his brother, with the goal of increasing their strength to capture the A-rank thieves group, the Phantom Troupe.

Most of the members are hunters, and there are a few who are enemies of the brigade, but they are all excellent Nen users, and each of them is probably at the level of a Zoldyck butler (not as well-known as Wutong and Ziponian).

Each member has his or her own unique code to facilitate communication.

"Leader": Gert Fulei, 35 years old, one-star criminal hunter, enhancement-type ability user, ability to enhance the lethality of the western sword that replaced his right hand, good at swordsmanship. (He is a disabled person, because his right hand was cut off in a gang fight in his early years, and then he modified his arm and installed the sword directly on his right hand, usually hidden in the cuffs of his suit)

"Iai": Gesk Fulei, 26 years old, Gert's younger brother, a fighting hunter, a user of strengthening ability. His ability is to enhance the quality of the samurai sword and increase the power of the Iai Slash. He is an expert in using the Iai Slash.

"Veteran": Steve, 56 years old, one-star terrorist hunter. He was a soldier when he was young and experienced several brutal wars. After retiring, he studied scientific research and was good at making various special weapons and providing them to other hunters. He is a release-type ability user who releases powerful telekinetic bullets through various weapons.

"Medusa": Sori, 43 years old, bounty hunter, a person with the ability to materialize the "Snake Fang" chain. The chain absorbs the blood of the bound person to strengthen itself. The longer it is tied, the stronger it becomes.

"Archer": Sveden, 18 years old, bounty hunter, release-type ability user, uses a special slingshot to fire telekinetic bullets, which can track the target for six minutes.

"Holy Spear": Ganger Neil, 23 years old, one of the former Psychic thugs of the gangster Valin family, a martial artist, the owner of the Sky Arena, a user of the Enhancement System, uses a special spear

"Poisonous Spider": Unknown name, 59 years old, biological hunter, release-type ability user, releases a spider beast, each leg can release a different toxin

"Doctor": Gang, 32 years old, a user of the release system. He can release a two-way portal ten times a day (from his own location to a designated location). The size and number of the transported targets determine his telekinesis consumption.

"Father": Levi, 48 years old, a manipulator, can manipulate corpses and use corresponding mind abilities and memories. The more intact the corpse, the stronger the power it can exert.

"Berserker": Jie Valin, 22 years old, former young master of the Valin family (survivor of the massacre by Ai three years ago), enhancement user, ability "blood rage", during which each stronger attack can make his basic attack have this power, the ability can only be activated when injured and bleeding (it is difficult to refresh this damage limit)

[Ace: More than five people... There are gangsters... They are a threat to the group... They are not handsome... Wait for me to stack a half-invalid buff. Okay, when the buff is fully stacked, watch me clear this dungeon alone!]
