Hunter x Hunter: Kurama joins the Phantom Troupe

Chapter 33: Strong Enemy X and X Pursuit

"Are Ugin and Ace not back yet?" (Chrollo)

"Yes." (Knight)

"Wo Jin went to seek revenge, and Ace said she was worried so she followed him." (Maggie)

"Chain hands?" (Chrollo)

"They are not the kind of people who just act recklessly. Even if the opponent is the type they are not good at dealing with, they will crush him, but it won't be like this. The only possibility is that the opponent has the ability to prevent them from releasing their power, such as the control system or the materialization system." (Chrollo)

"In a one-on-one fight, these two types are the easiest to defeat Uzumaki. Many materialization-type ability users can add special abilities to materialized objects, and this ability may make it impossible for them to exert their power. For the manipulation-type, it would be bad if he was controlled." (Chrollo)

"But as for Ace... her abilities are quite versatile, and her skills and experience are first-rate. It's no exaggeration to say that she's second only to me in the entire group. Unless someone is extremely powerful... it's impossible to restrain her." (Chrollo)

"Maybe Wogin was controlled and attacked Ace... This is really hard to deal with..." (Chrollo)

"Damn it! If I had known I should have gone with them, at least I could have someone to look after me!" (Knight)

"Now is not the time to be upset. If they are not back by dawn, change your plans." (Chrollo)

……

Wo Jin and Ace finally arrived before dawn.

Ugin originally wanted to kill Kurapika, but after Ace suddenly vomited blood, he returned with Ace.

"Who on earth could beat Ace like that? His left hand is broken. Even if Machi repairs it, he will be unable to move for a month. He also has multiple internal injuries. Wo Jin, what happened? How strong is that chain hand to beat you two like this?" (Franklin)

"Then let me investigate." (Paknoda)

As he said this, Paknoda placed his right hand on Wo Jin's shoulder and then activated his telekinesis.

After investigating the source of the whole incident, Paknoda fell into deep thought.

"You are really awesome. You can't beat the opponent by yourself and you also let down your teammates." (Paknoda)

"Uh..." (Wo Jin)

"What the hell is going on?" (Funks)

"It's better to let me shoot than to tell you. If you are worried, you can refuse." (Paknoda)

"Nonsense." (Nobunaga)

Then, a pistol made of gathered mental energy appeared in Paknoda's right hand.

The pistol was loaded with memory bullets, which were then fired into the bodies of the group members one by one.

As all the team members digested the huge amount of information, they looked at Wo Jin with complicated eyes.

"..." (All members)

"An all-rounder of the same type as Ace..." (Knight)

"It would be hard to win alone... especially with that little chain of rules." (Franklin)

"But compared to Ace, he is very crude in every aspect, both in technique and strength. If it weren't for Wo Jin..." (Knight)

"..." (All members)

"Ah...ha...ha...haha..." (Wo Jin)

……

After Ace woke up, he felt a sharp pain in his left arm. Although the bone had been reconnected by Machi, it was broken too badly and he couldn't move normally.

I forced myself to sit up, and met Machi's melancholy eyes.

"I wanted to ask you last time, are you an idiot? Why are you trying to make trouble for me? Are you worried that I don't have money in my account?" (Maggie)

"..." (Ace)

"Next time, don't be idle and do this to me. Take good care of yourself. We have already understood the details. The one with the chain hand is called Kurapika, right? We will get rid of him." (Machi)

"It's better to stay away from him. I don't want us to have anything to do with him." (Ace)

"I really don't understand why you are so sensitive sometimes. By the way, I'm afraid you can't wear that white robe. I made this one for you last night. Please change it for me later." (Maggie)

"What are the next instructions, Captain?" (Ace)

Machi, who was walking out, was stunned for a moment, then turned back and replied:

"Find the Chain Hand and bring him back, life or death." (March)

"Where is the captain?" (Ace)

Ace asked persistently.

"The captain and Paknoda Finks are out. I'm not sure where they're going. You should just focus on recovering during this time." (Machi)

……

At Youkexin Square.

Machi and Nobunaga were hanging out around here.

"How strong is that chain hand? Ugin is not a reckless person. Even if the opponent is a type he is not good at dealing with, he should be able to crush it easily." (Nobunaga)

"According to the memories of Ugin and Ace, Kurapika had strong feelings towards us, even using oaths and restrictions that could threaten his life at any time. It was normal that we couldn't defeat him." (Machi)

(Disclaimer: According to the setting, Paknoda cannot investigate Ace's memories of her previous life, but can only investigate her memories of this world.)

"What is the relationship between Ace and that boy? She doesn't want us to find him." (Nobunaga)

"Maybe after that battle, she was afraid of him from the bottom of her heart and didn't want us to die." (Machi)

"Intuition?" (Nobunaga)

"Intuition." (Madge)

"It feels like someone is watching us nearby." (Madge)

"I can only say it seems so." (Nobunaga)

"I can't tell where it is. I guess you're a good player." (Maggie)

"What should we do next?" (Nobunaga)

"Draw it out." (Machi)

The two got up and left.

The ones monitoring them were Gon, Killua, and Leorio. After receiving the bounty from the gang, the three of them also set their sights on the Troupe.

"They're taking action, should we chase them?" (Kiya)

"Of course." (Leorio)

"Next, we'll use invisibility. Gon and I will go after them, and Leorio, you go find the Immortal Sect to join up. Be careful not to let them find you, and if they separate, go after the girl." (Killua)

"Gon, how's your tracking going?" (Killua)

"I tracked Hisoka before and spent the whole day chasing him." (Gon)

state……

"Why did you hit me? It hurts!" (Xiao Jie)

"Nothing, I just wanted to beat you up." (Kiya)

……

By the time Machi and Nobunaga stopped, they had arrived at a ruin.

"They haven't left yet?" (Nobunaga)

"Probably not. Maybe it's someone from the Chain Hand." (Maggie)

"That's unlikely. The Chain Hand should be acting alone." (Nobunaga)

"What do you mean?" (Maggie)

"As for the matter of picking a fight with Uzumaki alone, it is hard to imagine that someone would seek revenge without the support of the Yakuza." (Nobunaga)

"Full of loopholes." (Madge)

"Intuition?" (Nobunaga)

"Intuition." (Madge)

"Really? I don't want to be denied my opinion by someone who only relies on intuition. So what do you think?" (Nobunaga)

"In my opinion, even if they are not hired by the Chain Hand to investigate us, they should have some connection with us." (Machi)

At this time, Nobunaga's cell phone rang.

Nobunaga picked up.

"Hey." (Nobunaga)

"This is Finks." (Finks)

"Oh, Phinx, what's wrong?" (Nobunaga)

"Are you and Machi being followed?" (Funks)

"Yes, they are good fighters. We can't find them and have to waste time." (Nobunaga)

"Then I'll tell you good news. They are on the fourth floor of the building on your left, in the fourth and eighth windows respectively. Paknoda and I have already blocked them." (Finks)

"Thank you." (Nobunaga)

Having said that, Nobunaga hung up the phone and then said to Machi.

"The fourth and eighth windows." (Nobunaga)

Then they leaped, Nobunaga went to the fourth one, and Machi went to the eighth one.

Nobunaga jumped onto the window and said to the inside:

"Hey, Fenx, didn't you go out with the captain?" (Nobunaga)

"As the saying goes, if you want to deceive your enemies, you must first deceive your own people." (Fenx)

"I was tricked by the leader." (Nobunaga)

The person they surrounded was Killua.

On the other side, Paknoda and Machi surrounded Xiaojie.

"Little brother, do you know the Chain Hand?" (Paknoda)

"He's the Nen user who used the chain. We're looking for him now." (Machi)
