Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 143 "Speculations about the Phantom Troupe"

Men Qi looked down and saw that it was indeed the photo of the master and apprentice who had just left.

In the photo, they are sitting cross-legged on the grass in the early morning, practicing mindfulness, surrounded by light and mist in harmony.

"Why did you take their photos?" Men Qi was very surprised.

Bisji raised his eyebrows proudly: "Keep reading."

Men Qi flipped to the next photo.

The second picture shows Germain teaching Kurapika step by step how to use the "Mizumi Style" to test his own system.

The third picture shows Kurapika opening his flaming eyes and testing the "Mizumi Style" for the second time. Germain stands aside with an expected look on his face.

The fourth picture shows Germain buying a chain from a nearby town and giving it to Kurapika, who took it with both hands.

The fifth, sixth...

Most of them are photos of Germain and Kurapika. Other people in the mansion occasionally appear in the background of the photos, but they only occupy a very small part.

Depending on the situation, many of these photos were most likely secretly taken by Bisij.

Yungu, who was well aware of his teacher's quirks, heard Xiaodi's voice and glanced at the photos, knowing what was going on.

So Yungu covered the ears of the confused Zhixi with his hands and took him away from the scene while he was still innocent.

"Old...teacher?"

"Zhixi, let's go quickly, we have to continue practicing."

Buhara also ran away with nimble steps.

Men Qi was still surprised: "I still don't understand the meaning of taking these photos."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Bisji made a disdainful sound at this time, while wagging his finger.

"So I say you young people don't understand anything yet... In a few years, when you are thirty years old or older, you will understand the value of these photos of mine."

Xiaodi and Men Qi looked at each other in confusion, then shook their heads.

Occasionally, Bisij would always say something they didn't understand. If you don't understand, just don't understand. There's no need to go into details.

Meteor Street at the same time.

Smelly and disorganized, this is what outsiders think of this place, but locals have a different perspective.

The smelly garbage is their treasure, and the Meteor Street people wearing heavy protective clothing can often dig out many practical and novel tools from it.

Of course, it is common to occasionally find abandoned babies, corpses stuffed into suitcases, and discarded guns and ammunition.

They all accepted the orders, sorted them out and sent them to the living area of ​​Meteor Street for the elders to see.

As for disorganization, it is even more nonsense.

The elders' palace, church, living area, and garbage area of ​​Meteor Street are all in perfect order. Meteor Street residents who have lived here for half their lives can walk from one end to the other with their eyes closed.

As for the Phantom Troupe, which had made indelible contributions to maintaining this order, all members of the Phantom Troupe gathered in the deserted plains outside Meteor Street.

The crowd was divided into two groups with a deserted expression, separated by a distance of two meters, but there was no fierce quarrel, just an unspeakable gap.

"It's been almost two months." Nobunaga, who had long hair, pointed out, "There's no point in waiting any longer. It's as if Germain and Hisoka have completely disappeared from the world. I don't agree with being so passive."

Wo Jin, who has long hair and a strong body, echoed loudly: "If the two of them just hide like this, will we also hide in Meteor Street?"

The rest of the people stood behind Chrollo with a clear-cut attitude.

"They will not remain silent forever." Chrollo said calmly and firmly, "I admit that I made a mistake in judging them at the beginning, but now, their true colors have been completely revealed."

"For them, us coming together is the most difficult situation to solve. We actually have the upper hand."

"The elders of Meteor Street also support us. They will cooperate with the 'Ten Old Men', and German happens to be our common enemy. They are happy to help us collect intelligence."

"Whether it's Germain, Xiaodi, or Hisoka, as long as they appear under the eyes of the gang, there will always be clues passed to us, and we will go out together when the time comes."

Wojin was not good at arguing, so he looked at Nobunaga and gave the task of debating to his "partner".

Nobunaga lived up to Wojin's expectations: "Captain, you have ignored three points."

Chrollo waited quietly for Nobunaga to continue without any change in his expression, as if he already knew what Nobunaga was going to say.

"First." Nobunaga stretched out a finger, "Hisoka enjoys the thrill of hunting. The more we curl up and show timidity, the more excited he becomes."

"He is like a cat torturing a mouse. It may not be that easy to make him anxious."

"I don't know much about Germain, but his behavior pattern is completely inconsistent. He obviously used some kind of telekinesis ability to circumvent Parker Noda's "memory exploration." "

"He joined the Phantom Troupe and killed Finks, Franklin, and Feitan. It must not be for the so-called 'competition for the position of leader.' He must have some purpose."

"Perhaps, he was sent by a hostile force... Therefore, as long as we don't reveal any flaws, he will not show up."

"To sum up, Hisoka and Germain can afford to wait. I wouldn't be surprised if they show up again in a year and a half."

Chrollo still listened calmly.

"Second." Nobunaga stretched out his second finger, "Hisoka's method of killing Kubi and peeling off Lev is still the 'dance on the tip of the knife' that he is best at."

"Germain is obviously different. If it is barely acceptable for him to win one-on-one with Finks, then I can't understand why he won the combination of Feitan and Franklin."

"We have all seen the scenes of the two battles. Phinks left many significant damages in Stonehenge, but after Germain killed Phinks, he was almost unscathed. "

"On the other side of the World Tree, Feitan must have used "Scorching Sun", so that Franklin's body was gone, only the residue was left, but what? "

"Feitan died, but Germain escaped. Some time ago, he even used this 'merit' to become a "one-star hunter". The news was announced on the professional hunter website. "

This information was discovered by the knight who had been searching for news about Hisoka and Germain on the Internet. The knight had a hunter's license and it was quite convenient to access professional hunter websites.

Nobunaga held the hilt of the katana at his waist: "Think about it, which one of Finks, Franklin or Feitan is the weakling?"

"However, not only are they all dead, but no one can die with Germain. This result is either because the strength gap is too large, or because he possesses our telekinesis intelligence."

"I prefer the latter. So the question is, how did our telekinesis intelligence leak?"

"Also, shortly after we returned to Meteor Street, Xiaodi also completely cut off contact with Meteor Street. What's going on?"

"If we stay here all the time and don't understand the truth and the source of Germain's intelligence, we will still suffer a loss, or even fall into the trap like Finks, Franklin, and Feitan."

In fact, everyone present is not a fool. They have thought of these two points, especially the second point, but they have not thought deeply about it subconsciously.

Because the more you think about it, the more you will point to one result, that is, there are traitors within the Phantom Troupe.

The person with the greatest suspicion is undoubtedly Madge, because Hisoka and Germain are both members of the group she is responsible for contacting, and during the battle of Stonehenge, Germain let Madge go.

Madge didn't explain, she just stood there with her lips pursed.

Now even Pyconoda's "Memory Exploration" can't clear her suspicion. After all, Germain successfully evaded it once.

Nobunaga looked at Madge.

"Is there a possibility that you are controlled by some kind of telepathy ability, but you are not even aware of it? And this kind of telepathy ability can make Paknoda unable to detect it?"

As a childhood friend who grew up together, Nobunaga still believed in Madge.

It would make sense if Madge had unknowingly exposed the information.

Madge was silent for a while and finally spoke.

"Germain and I did have a strange contact. He asked me to come over and suture his wound."

"However, it was in the middle of the night. I didn't even notice when he went out to fight with others and when he came back."

"He was seriously injured, I used "Thread Suture" on him, and then he left. When we met later, it was the Battle of Stonehenge. "

"Now that I think about it, this 'commission' was too strange, and he never came to me again after that."

"That's it." Nobunaga nodded firmly.

"It seems that the prerequisite for activating this telekinesis ability is to 'see Germain's wounds and be contaminated with his blood'."

"After Madge was attacked, Germain or others launched a "memory exploration" similar to Pak Noda's and obtained information about our telekinesis abilities from Madge's mind. "

"As for "Constraints and Oaths", Germain's injury probably needs to be quite serious. Of course, this injury may also be a smoke bomb he threw to confuse Madge. "

"The reason for letting Madge go is to make us doubt her and cause internal division."

"As for the information about our return to Meteor Street, it is most likely reported by people from Meteor Street. Germain is from Meteor Street, so it is quite normal for him to have informants here."

Nobunaga's conjecture was quite reasonable, and everyone in the Phantom Troupe nodded repeatedly.

Maggie frowned, showing an annoyed look, but quickly covered it up and regained her composure.

Chrollo was noncommittal and just asked: "Nobunaga, there is a third point you haven't said yet. What is it?"

"Third." Nobunaga glanced at the group leader and said unhurriedly, "The forces behind Germain are unknown."

"He and Hisoka acted separately, so there is a high probability that they are not accomplices, but just temporary allies."

"It is now known that he is a telepathic companion who helped him evade Pike Noda's "memory exploration", obtain information from Macchi, and connect with him at the World Tree. "

"When we face him again, I'm afraid we have to take into account the forces behind him, and now we don't know anything about it."

"Even if the elders of Meteor Street or the Ten Old Men inform us of his whereabouts, who knows whether this will be a trap set by the organization behind him?"

"Captain, we must take the initiative and investigate clearly personally. We must not completely trust the intelligence of the Meteor Street elders and the ten old men. Otherwise, we will die inexplicably."
