Hunter x Hunter: Kurama joins the Phantom Troupe

"What does this mean?" (Madge)

"What Mr. Leorio said just now should be a code, Captain, should we be on guard?" (Ace)

"No need. Since we have seen through it, the other party should not continue to act. Next, we just need to wait for Nobunaga and the others to come." (Kuroro)

Ace looked up at the clock hanging in the hall.

It was six fifty-seven, three minutes until seven o'clock.

At this time, the door of the hall was opened, and Nobunaga, Paknoda, and Kubi arrived.

"Oh, it's you two again. Have you been caught again? You really don't learn your lesson." (Nobunaga)

"We were only chasing you because we didn't know that your original huge bounties had all been cancelled." (Killua)

"In the end, you were discovered after all your efforts. You really never learn your lesson." (Nobunaga)

"No, if it weren't for the bounty, I wouldn't be interested in seeing you." (Killa)

Killua said as he turned his head to the side and closed his eyes, Gon did the same.

"Great idea, it should be reasonable to close my eyes like this." (Xiaojie's inner thoughts)

At this time, Chrollo turned to face Paknoda.

"By the way, Paknoda, let's investigate these three people again." (Chrollo)

"No problem, what do you want to ask?" (Paknoda)

"Ask them what they are hiding." (Chrollo)

Paknoda stretched out his right hand and grabbed Killua first. Killua suddenly opened his mouth and said:

"It's useless. Your ability is to touch the other person and draw out the necessary memories. The two of us haven't hidden anything and we know nothing." (Killa)

"Even if we knew, we wouldn't let you read it if we were thinking about other things..." (Xiao Jie)

Paknoda ignored the two of them, grabbed their faces roughly, and lifted them into the air.

"You may have misunderstood something. What I read is the purest original memory hidden deep in the memory. It is not the false memory that you said can be fabricated at will. I will ask you questions and stimulate your brain memory. This is like throwing a stone into a pond. The mud at the bottom of the memory will be stirred up. That is what I read." (Paknoda)

"Then next, I want to ask, what are you hiding?" (Paknoda)

The moment he activated his ability, a large amount of memories flooded into Paknoda's mind. Among them, there was one part that particularly attracted Paknoda.

……

In that memory, the two children were sitting together, and opposite them was a blond boy, none other than Kurapika, the Chain Hand.

At this moment he was telling the two children about his abilities and weaknesses. After gathering the information she wanted, Paknoda withdrew his thoughts.

However, when she opened her eyes, she saw darkness.

……

Ace probably never dreamed that even when the operation in the dark had been exposed, Kurapika would still continue to act according to the original plan. Perhaps it was because he heard their conversation that led to all this, but it didn't matter. The important thing was to save the captain first.

Sure enough, Gon, Killua, and Leorio, who had closed their eyes beforehand to adapt to the darkness, moved.

Killua took advantage of the darkness, pulled his hands out of the thread and then kicked Paknoda hard in the chest. Paknoda was kicked away without any preparation. Gon also broke free from Paknoda's control. The two looked at each other and launched an attack on Ace who was holding Leorio hostage.

Gon and Killua used their telekinesis, and the attack wrapped in telekinesis hit Ace's limbs hard.

"WOC! This wave is coming for me!!!" (Ace's inner thoughts)

In a panic, Ace used the Tang sword that was originally against Leorio's neck to protect him, but the next moment the Tang sword was broken by Xiaojie's fist...

Leorio, who was held hostage by Ace, was no less vulnerable. His attack wrapped in mental energy hit Ace's calf.

Ace was in the dark, ambushed by three people, and instinctively wanted to activate a circle to find out what was going on, but this instinctive behavior made her condition worse.

Kurapika's little finger chain activated again, pressing Ace's heart once again, causing Ace to suffer considerable damage instantly. The huge impact made Ace half-kneel on the ground, almost spitting out blood, and covering his chest to try to relieve the damage.

And Machi noticed something was wrong the moment Killua broke free.

"The one on the right has broken free! I can't see it, but they've made sure to catch the one on the left." (Machi)

He then withdrew the thought thread and used a powerful force to pull Gon, who was about to continue attacking, back to Machi. Seeing this, Killua flew over.

A kick landed on Machi's side. Machi, who had no time to fight back, was kicked and slid several meters before stopping, but the thread of thought was still there.

"The only way to cut off the thread of thought is to kill her!" (Kiya's inner thoughts)

Then he used his hand as a sword and stabbed it hard into Machi's lower abdomen, but the blow did not go deeper as Machi blocked it with her muscles.

The intense pain made Machi groan. Her skin, which had no protection from her mind, was pierced directly, and the knife was about to penetrate her flesh...

Killua was about to pull his hand back, but was held tightly by Machi. Before Killua could do anything, Machi grabbed Killua and held him tightly.

"I've caught you. As long as you release your murderous aura, I can defend myself. There's no point in groping in the dark." (Maggie)

When Gon saw Killua being captured again, he was about to pounce on him, but his ankles were grabbed by a pair of large hands. It was Nobunaga who had opened the circle.

"Give up on yourself." (Nobunaga)

Ace was relieved to hear that Machi and Nobunaga had captured Gon and Killua, and reminded them:

"Captain, be careful." (Ace)

He prepared to get up, but his legs were broken by the attacks of the three men and he couldn't get up for the time being. His right hand was also dislocated by Killua, so he could only stay like this for the time being.

"Everything is fine, isn't it?" (Chrollo)

"My left hand is dislocated, but it's nothing serious." (Paknoda)

"Both my legs are broken... Both my hands are dislocated... I can't move for the time being..." (Ace)

"It seems that it is too far-fetched to just use the body to resist the attack of the Psychic user..." (Ace)

However, before Ace could recover, a chain was wrapped around his body.

"This is... not good!" (Ace's inner thoughts)

Then the chains quickly crawled all over Ace's body, tied him up and sealed his mouth. Then the chains contracted, dragging Ace away and bringing him to Kurapika's side.

……

"It's a shame, but you guys are really good." (Nobunaga)

At this moment, a flying knife came and Nobunaga dodged it by turning his head.

"It came from the entrance." (Nobunaga)

"The radio host is also an accomplice." (Xiao Di)

"Don't worry about it for now. As long as these three guys are still here, it's fine. My eyes have already adapted." (Nobunaga)

"The man in the suit has run away, but we still have two hostages." (Paknoda)

"How's your condition? It shouldn't be a big deal." (Chrollo)

At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed across the hall, illuminating the hall. Several people looked around and found something wrong.

"Wait, where is Ace?" (Xiao Di)

"She's gone, Captain. Ace seems to have been taken away. What should we do?" (Maggie)

Kuroro said nothing more. He turned around, pulled out the dagger embedded in the wall, took out a lighter and lit it.

With the faint light of the fire, I could see the words clearly.

Tell me their memories and I'll kill her.

"Parker, how are you?" (Little Drop)

"It's nothing serious. I just got scared. How are you, Machi?" (Paknoda)

"Two ribs are broken. The wound is a bit painful. We were too careless just now." (Maggie)

"Wait, Pike, this is for you." (Chrollo)

"Kurapira...he succeeded..." (Gate and Killua's inner thoughts)

"That's right. After all, the captain has been alert. The only person who can be taken hostage is probably Ace, who has difficulty in moving. Those few blows just now may break her bones." (Killa)

……

On the road, Leorio was driving a car at full speed, with Melody sitting in the passenger seat, and Kurapika and Ace who was tied up with chains in the back seat.

"Don't worry, someone on the other side is injured, and they won't act rashly until reinforcements arrive." (Kurapika)

Kurapika said while looking behind him.

Suddenly Kurapika looked at Ace and asked:

"What are you thinking about now?" (Kurapika)

The answer was silence...
