Hunter x Hunter: Kurama joins the Phantom Troupe

The team members were sitting scattered on the pile of stones in the abandoned building, holding the information sent by the knight in their hands.

"The catcher... is he that scary? Do we need to mobilize the entire group?" (Franklin)

Ace, who was sitting on top of him, crossed his legs and responded:

"If their scouts are all that powerful, they would be a threat to us..." (Ace)

[Iai: No... I'm a fighter, the strongest in the group...]

Franklin pointed to several people in the information and asked:

"The leader probably wants these people's abilities..." (Franklin)

"Well, that's probably it. The others don't matter... I guess we just need to kill them all. Is that right? Knight." (Ace)

"That's right." (Knight)

Then Finks interrupted.

"Should we go alone or in a group?" (Fenx)

The knight pinched his chin, thought for a while and said:

"The strength of the opponent should not be underestimated, so we should act in pairs according to the previous configuration. If there is any information, disclose it to others as soon as possible and return here before noon." (Xia Ke)

The knight stood up, folded the information and put it in his pocket.

"OK." (All the team)

The others also stood up and left the base.

Only the two "elders" Franklin and Finks were left looking at each other.

"Your partner was taken away by the leader?" (Fenx)

"You, too?" (Franklin)

"Then let's team up..." (Fenx)

[Lineup: Nobunaga, Uzumaki Franklin, Phinks Paknoda, Knight Ace, Machi Peeler, Kubi]

……

At the same time, inside the catcher's base, the catcher's members also began strategic deployment.

Gert stood in front of the map of Youkexin City and cut the map into several pieces with the rapier in his hand.

"Holy Spear, Berserker, the two of you go to the southeast area." (Gert)

"Medusa, Father, go to the southwest area." (Gert)

"Venomous Spider and Doctor, the Northwest District is now in your hands?" (Gert)

"The archer and I will go to the northeast area for inspection." (Gert)

At this time, Holy Spear suddenly remembered something and asked:

"Where are Iai and the old soldier?" (Holy Spear)

Gert's expression froze for a moment, but soon recovered...

"They went to Meteor Street to investigate two and a half months ago... and have lost contact..." (Gert)

When they heard that Iai and the veteran had an accident, everyone else was shocked...

However, the next second, a baseball bat smashed to the ground, and the Berserker Jie spoke disdainfully while leaning on the baseball bat.

"Tsk, what's so scary about those guys? Iai and the veterans should have given up the first and second positions long ago." (Jie)

The Holy Spear next to him also said sourly:

"Don't say that. Those fighters only know those two moves. It's not bad to be able to do that." (Holy Spear)

"You!" (Gert)

Gert was so angry that he almost rushed over, but was stopped by the people around him.

"I beat up members of the brigade back then. If I hadn't been away from the base, would my gang have been destroyed?" (Jie)

Holy Spear carried the spear on his shoulder, gave them a middle finger, and walked away with Jie...

After the two left, Gert punched the ground...

"Bastards... they don't understand how scary spiders are..." (Gert)

"My right hand was crippled by one of their members..." (Gert's inner voice)

An archer on the side helped him up...

Gert adjusted his mood and instructed the remaining members:

"If you see any members of the Spider, notify others immediately..." (Gert)

"Understood." (Everyone)

Watching everyone leaving, Gert looked down at his empty right sleeve and the sword hidden inside, and his thoughts gradually returned to his home seven years ago...

At that time, he was young and frivolous and went to the underground fighting arena several times. He defeated countless opponents with his superb sword skills, but he brought disaster to his family...

At that time, he tried his best and used all he had learned in his life, but he still couldn't defeat that guy...

His experience and skills were no match for her. Later, he found out that it was because of a technique called mindfulness...

The white-haired girl was only 14 years old. Even though she was seriously injured in the face of his violent attack, she still easily pinned him to the ground...

It was not until half a year ago that he found out that the guy was also a member of the Spiders...

[Ace: Waterfake, the soldier that was easily killed seven years ago is here to take revenge?]

"To defeat those guys, we must not act rashly..." (Gert)

……

On the southwestern edge of Youkexin.

"What time is it now?" (Ace)

Machi checked the time.

"It's still early, just after ten." (Maggie)

"Then we can wait for the master to make the next batch. Can the master be faster?" (Ace)

"Really... still have to wait..." (Maggie's inner voice)

Ace and Machi were standing in front of a candy shop waiting for the owner to make the next batch of candy.

"Two little girls, how much?" (Boss)

"Let's have a box like this." (Ace)

Ace pulled a box from the counter and handed it to the master.

The master put the box aside, then poured the syrup into the mold, and then poured various colored juices into it and stirred it.

When the syrup solidifies, the chef takes out a pair of scissors to separate the syrups of different colors. He then kneads the syrups together to form patterns and roll them into candy bars.

The candy bars are placed in a special tool and compressed tightly. At this time, the candy bars have cooled and become hard.

Take out the chisel and knock the candy bars into candy cubes and put them into the box.

……

Ace held the box and threw one into his mouth.

Machi looked at her a little speechlessly.

"You've been spending too long there..." (Maggie)

Before Machi could finish her words, Ace stuffed a candy into her mouth.

"Then you are still waiting with me." (Ace)

The next second, Machi grabbed Ace's ears...

"Don't do that again next time." (Maggie)

After saying that, Machi let go.

Ace rubbed his ears, his face full of grievance...

"It hurts, wuwuwu (┯_┯)" (Ace)

Machi held her forehead speechlessly and was about to say something to comfort her, but the next moment Ace's expression changed.

"What's wrong?" (Maggie)

"Someone is watching us, maybe two people." (Ace) [whispering]

"A member of the Catchers?" (Madge)

"That should be correct." (Ace)

Ace handed the box to Machi, and then began to tie her hair. At the same time, she asked Machi:

"Want to take a risk?" (Ace)

"What do you mean?" (Maggie)

Machi calmly pulled out the thread and hid it under the box.

"I'll pretend to be caught, and you'll leave a thread on me. Maybe you can find more catchers." (Ace)

"No, it's too risky." (March)

……

At the same time, in the southeastern district of Youkexin City...

Feitan pulled the umbrella sword out of Jie's neck...

"There's no one the captain wants." (Feitan)

Shaking off the blood from the knife, Feitan inserted the knife back into the umbrella.

"Puffy-eyed fish, it's time to work." (Xiao Di)

"Suck up the bodies of these two guys, their weapons, their clothes, and the blood on the ground." (Little Drop)

Xiao Di placed the bulge-eyed fish vacuum cleaner on the ground. The bulge-eyed fish screamed twice and started to work, sucking the bodies of Sheng Qiang and Jie into its mouth...

The leader and Feitan watched with great interest.

"No matter how many times I see Xiaodi's abilities, it's always fun." (Feitan)

However, they did not notice that Shengqiang and Jie's cell phones were vibrating and buzzing...

……

At noon, the team leader brought Xiaodi and Feitan back to the base and saw that the team members had already packed their lunch and were showing off their food while discussing their achievements in the morning.

"Feitan, want some?" (Fenx)

"No, I ate outside." (Feitan)

[Team leader: Well, do you want to organize a team building?]

At this time, Xiaodi found that there seemed to be fewer people...

"Hey, Ace and Machi haven't come back yet?" (Little Drop)

"It's nothing for Ace to get lost, but it's impossible for Machi to get confused too." (Feitan)

The knight shook his head.

"Not sure." (Knight)

……

Gert pushed open the gate of the base. At this moment, the capturers gathered in the base, and on the stone pillar in the middle, there was a beautiful woman tied tightly with chains.

"It's her..." (Gert's inner voice)

Gert asked:

"Haven't Jie and the Holy Spear come back yet?" (Gert)

"I can't get in touch with them either...it looks like something unexpected has happened..." (Poison Pearl)

When Ace heard these two names, she was obviously stunned for a moment. Her eyes instantly became as if she had seen something terrible. Her body twisted instinctively, and the chains that were wrapped around her made a rattling sound...

"Ummmm... Why is it so tight? And, this way of tying... It's hard to describe..." (Ace's inner voice)

Ace was currently tied up by Sori's chains and couldn't move, so he didn't have to worry about being attacked.

Gert walked over to Ace and removed the chain that was gagged around her mouth.

"Is the interrogation going to start?" (Ace)

Gert suppressed the desire for revenge in his heart and asked.

"What did you do to Iai and the veterans?" (Gert)

Other capturers also headed here, with their weapons pointed here, ready to attack at any time.

Ace tilted his head and blinked as if he was thinking about something.

"Iai... the old soldier... the one with the Chuunibyou and the one-eyed dragon?" (Ace)

Veins bulged on Gert's forehead. He swung his right arm and a rapier shot out from his sleeve.

"Don't talk nonsense..." (Gert)

Gert placed the tip of his sword against Ace's forehead.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're willing to take action on such a pretty face? Do you know how to be gentle with women?" (Ace's inner voice)

"Those two guys, it seems like they were tortured to death by the flying dwarf..." (Ace)

After confirming that his brother and comrades were dead, Gert's eyes went dark and he almost fell down. Fortunately, he used the sword in his hand to support himself in time.

He looked back at the guy in front of him, and this time he pointed his sword at Ace's right thigh.

"There are still a few people with special abilities among the spiders..." (Gert)

Ace gave him a disdainful look...

"Do you know Judas?" (Ace)

"He betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. Guess how much I would betray the Brigade for?" (Ace)

"If you tell the truth, you will probably be sentenced to life imprisonment, considering that you have surrendered yourself." (Gert)

"But if you refuse to tell us... we have other options..." (Gert)

Gert looked up at the priest.

"I see..." (Ace)

"That condition doesn't seem to be enough... If you want me to betray the brigade..." (Ace)

"Maybe not..." (Ace)

Before Ace could finish her words, the sword had already pierced her thigh...

"What about now..." (Gert)

Then Gert continued to increase his strength until Ace's thigh was pierced through and blood flowed down the sword...

Gert drew his sword...

"Ever since my father was killed by members of the Spider, I have been tracking them down, and when I was 28, you crippled my right hand..." (Gert)

"Me? Hmm... let me think... there are probably three digits of people whose arms I've broken. Which one are you?" (Ace)

"Everyone here is more or less seeking revenge on the Spider. The price we've paid here is beyond the comprehension of a guy like you..." (Gert)

"You can hardly imagine the sacrifices we have made..." (Gert)

Ace smiled disdainfully...

"This... is your enlightenment?" (Ace)
