Hunter: I became stronger even after I died

The cold touch from under his body and the shaking of the vehicle when it passed through the rugged road.

They all reminded Moro all the time-

This is reality.

He had clearly touched death, but when he opened his eyes again, he returned to a year ago.

Moro was a little dazed, and he couldn't suppress the memories that emerged from the depths of his mind.

A year ago, he woke up in this carriage cage.

The strange environment at that time and the suffocating cage naturally intertwined extreme panic in this cold shaking, thus dominating all the emotions at that time.

Now that his thoughts returned to this moment, Moro could not shout and scream because of extreme panic like he did at the beginning.

He quickly calmed down and glanced at the surrounding environment again.

With the light coming in from the small hole in the carriage, he could see two rows of iron cages placed in the long carriage, and a naked person was locked in each iron cage.

Moro was in it, also naked.

His eyes swept over the people in the cage one by one. There were men and women, about the same age as him, probably between 14 and 16 years old.

Looking at these people in the cage, the images in Moro's memory gradually overlapped with the appearance of this group of people.

Moro was looking at the other people in the cage, and the others were attracted by the movement when Moro woke up, and they all looked at Moro.

Their eyes were mostly dull and indifferent.

Only two or three people looked puzzled.

Moro ignored them and lowered his head to avoid the many eyes from the surroundings.

What on earth is going on?

In the fragments of memory, Feitan's sinister and furious eyes can almost be reproduced in front of him.

The touch of the cold blade cutting through the face and vitality also remains.

This feeling is like a poisonous snake entwined in the heart, with a chill that penetrates into the bone marrow.

But——

Putting your hand on your chest, you can still feel the violent beating of your heart.

Still alive!

Moro confirmed this fact, closed his eyes, and tried to calm down as much as possible.

This strange way of escaping death made him realize the preciousness of having the ability to breathe.

After a moment.

Moro slowly opened his eyes, lowered his head, and looked at the back of his right hand.

The tree ring tattoo was still there!

This cheered him up.

He remembered clearly that the tree ring tattoo slowly emerged an outline the day after he crossed over, and then took shape within a few days.

But at this point in time, the tree ring tattoo has appeared, and it is still complete.

This is the difference.

Moro focused his eyes and moved his right hand under the light to see more clearly.

Under the dim light, Moro quickly discovered the changes in the tree ring tattoo.

The originally filled white tree rings turned black at this moment.

And the infinity symbol in the inner circle disappeared, replaced by——

Lv.1.

Moro's eyes changed. From the blackened growth rings, he realized that all these changes were most likely caused by the growth ring tattoo.

And the infinity symbol became Lv.1, but he didn't know what was going on.

Is it a love exercise...?

Inexplicably, the figure of Melena flashed through Moro's mind.

Lv is a level symbol, and the level system is the most special part of Melena's ability.

So Moro couldn't help but think about it in this way.

But is there any connection between the two?

If the effect of the growth ring is to make him return to a year ago when he dies, then what function does the level symbol that replaces the infinity symbol play in it?

Moro lowered his eyes and sorted out the many known information.

While thinking, he subconsciously raised his left hand and gently stroked the growth ring tattoo on the back of his right hand.

"Hmm?"

At this time, Moro noticed a red 'X' symbol on the back of his left hand.

The edge of the symbol was as black as ink, exuding an ominous atmosphere.

"What is this...?"

Morrow's pupils shrank slightly, and his attention was instantly focused on the newly appeared 'X' symbol.

In an instant -

The consciousness was like a small boat swallowed by a whirlpool, and there was a moment of shock and blur.

It was just a breath of time.

Feitan's appearance appeared in front of Morrow again.

This time, it was clear enough to see Feitan's cold murderous intent hidden under the rage.

Swish!

The touch of the blade cutting open his face and the suffocating feeling of being strangled by death also came back in multiples.

The next moment, endless darkness came.

Morrow experienced an extremely real death replay.

Then, the consciousness was shaken and blurred again.

The original text is in Liu # 9 @Book/Bar!

The picture in front of him dissipated like weathering, and was replaced by a heart held by black hands.

Morrow stared at the heart, and suddenly got an answer in his consciousness.

The heart held by both hands was his.

This inexplicable cognition was like data transmission, forced into his head.

Along with it came a message called "Death Node".

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, consciousness returned to reality.

Morrow was stunned and found that he was still maintaining the original action.

"Death Node?"

With an incredible mutter to himself, Morrow slowly raised his head and stared at the rusty iron rod in front of him, then sighed and leaned back, leaning weakly on the iron rod on the other side.

Death node——

It can also be said to be the time of his death, which was June 23, 1997.

He died on this day at the hands of Feitan.

Then he was reborn to the point in time when he first traveled through the world, which was June 7, 1996.

There is no doubt that he has been given a chance to do it again.

However, the death node imprinted on oneself will not disappear due to rebirth.

If the "death node" cannot be destroyed before June 22, 1997, his heart will instantly turn into dust and he will return to the embrace of death again.

The way to destroy the death node is to kill the person who created the death node with your own hands before the original death time comes, to offset the "X" symbol on the back of your left hand.

That is to say, he will personally kill Feitan, who has no knowledge of this, within a year.

Only in this way can the curse from the death node be resolved.

"One year..."

Moro let out a long breath, thinking about the pair of black hands clutching his heart, and it always felt like Kurapika had pierced his heart with the Sword of Oath.

A dead node is a dead node.

Regardless of whether it can be destroyed, it is better than dying directly.

Besides...

Morrow glanced at the rank symbol in the middle of the growth ring tattoo.

Although the specific function of this level symbol is not yet certain, it should not be a bad thing.

Anyway, as long as you find a way to turn Lv.1 into Lv.2, you can practice it.

In short, let’s solve the immediate problem first.

Morrow collected his thoughts and glanced at the rusty iron rod.

The van carrying them will arrive at a mental hospital built on a mountain in a few hours.

On the surface it is a mental hospital, but secretly it is engaged in the business of human beings and organs.

Yes.

From the moment they were put into the cage, Moreau and others were arbitrarily labeled as piggies.
