Hunter x Hunter: Noah’s Heart

"Hello, Mr. Noah, right?"

Looking at the formal-dressed, unsmiling middle-aged man in front of him, Noah nodded.

It was already the fifth day after the V5 meeting, and Noah's current location was the headquarters of the World Ferry Administration.

The so-called Ferry Bureau is an organization responsible for managing, investigating, and digitizing the world's ferry information, and then publishing the safety index of each ferry to the world to ensure the stability of the world's ferry situation.

In essence, the Ferry Administration is not an organization directly under the jurisdiction of v5, but an organization belonging to the World United Nations.

After all, in order to summarize, organize, and publish data on the safety factors of ferry flights around the world, there are definitely not a few aspects that need to be involved.

All factors such as the political and social situation of each country, the migration of animal and plant habitats, and changes in the natural climate need to be taken into consideration, and these factors require the cooperation and help of all countries in the world.

The Political Investigation Section, the Natural Environment Survey Section, the Data Analysis Section, the Animal and Plant Research Section, etc., there are a large number of departments with clear divisions of labor in the entire ferry bureau, which form an intelligence network to ensure the safety of the world's ferry crossings.

But similarly, the countries around the world that participate in the management of the Ferry Bureau naturally include v5. Also because of the status of v5, in the Ferry Bureau, there is a secret service department that few people know about. This special service department is completely under the direct jurisdiction of v5. The only mission of this department is to not allow anyone to have access to information about the Dark Continent, let alone to allow anyone to leave for the Dark Continent.

All the intelligence and results obtained by v5's previous self-organized trip to the Dark Continent, as well as all subsequent non-scientific resolvable events collected in the world, are all managed and investigated by the Secret Service Division. It can be said that the Secret Service Division is a An organization specializing in the investigation and management of intelligence related to the Dark Continent.

And right now, standing in front of Noah was one of the heads of the Secret Service Section.

"I have received the notice, so please sign this confidentiality contract first." After confirming Noah's identity, the other party directly took out a thick contract and handed it to Noah.

After taking the contract, Noah glanced at it casually and signed his name on the last page.

He didn't need to read the content of the contract. It just required him to keep everything he saw completely confidential. Being able to come here, he naturally already knew the relevant situation.

It has to be said that choosing to cooperate with Coco was a very correct move. With the guarantee relationship of Berglose,

Ark has at least gained the opportunity and qualification to talk head-on with v5.

For v5, Ark is just a mercenary organization. It is not a bargaining chip to solve the Phantom Troupe. After all, the other party has never taken a mere thieves group seriously. From v5's point of view, they themselves are They have the Hunter Association, the most authoritative and powerful mercenary organization in the world, so if it weren't for Coco's relationship, Noah would have to rely on his strength to stand in front of them.

Fortunately, the Hunter Association is called an association after all. Although there is an association within it, most of them are hunters who have their own goals and pursuits and regard freedom as the first principle. The name of v5 is very important to these. People are useless.

In this regard, the advantages of Ark are revealed.

After Coco's affirmation and certain inspections, Ark was successfully approved by v5, allowing Ark to participate in this exploration of the Dark Continent and be fully responsible for the resource allocation and personnel support of v5 and Cajin.

At this point, Noah's goal has been initially achieved. Obtaining this resource deployment and personnel support work means that Ark has successfully established contact with v5 and obtained certain authorizations.

Noah knew v5's intentions very well. If he sent it to his door like this, there was no reason why the other party wouldn't want to take advantage of it, and the use would not only be one-sided.

In short, these things will be matters that Zailuo will worry about in the future. The reason why Noah came to the ferry bureau this time was just to get instructions from v5, which arranged for him to learn about the relevant information about the Dark Continent in advance.

After signing the contract, the other party asked Noah to come with me and walked directly to the interior of the Ferry Administration headquarters building.

The further inward you go, the fewer staff you encounter, and the number and armed strength of the security personnel become stronger. After passing strict inspections, Noah and the man named Wennell Came to an elevator door.

After entering the elevator and going down, Winnell used his palm print verification to unlock the elevator door.

Behind the door is a spacious space with various facilities and equipment placed in a neat layout. People wearing full-body isolation protective clothing are walking around, talking, and working everywhere.

And it wasn't these that made Noah look a bit suspicious, but the familiar culture tanks that came into view not far away. Among the many culture tanks that passed by in a row, and he couldn't count the specific number at the same time, they were all in the same shape. Very similar weird objects.

These weird objects were tightly curled and entwined, but looking at the exposed human limbs, Noah definitely didn't think this thing could be some big twist.

"You should be able to tell, Mr. Noah, that everything in here was once a human being." Wennell turned back at this time and said calmly.

"This is for you." As he said this, Wennell handed a piece of information to Noah, "This is the content of a science fiction travel book from a long time ago. In this book, there is something about this kind of hemp. Rope-shaped humans, and this once again proves that this book is not a fantasy science fiction, you can read these contents carefully later.”

Noah accepted the information and did not read it immediately. Instead, he asked, "Are these the results of previous explorations of the Dark Continent?"

"Unfortunately, no, these rope-like humans were discovered in our world, just over ten years ago."

"All the hemp rope-shaped corpses here basically died at the same time. According to the investigation, the death testimonies are also: In the moment before your eyes, it seemed as if they were twisted into hemp ropes by some force. It sounds really weird, right? "

"Fortunately, I have seen weirder ones." Noah responded, then stepped forward and carefully observed the corpses in each culture tank?

Seeing Noah who was not surprised at all by the scene in front of him, Winnell shook his head as he recalled himself seeing these things for the first time, and then followed him.

Was it twisted directly into a hemp rope by some force?

What is the ability to read? What kind of curse is it that they died together at the same time?

Just as he was thinking about it, Noah's footsteps suddenly stopped in front of a culture tank. In this culture tank, there was also a corpse that was twisted into a hemp rope shape. Different from other corpses, this corpse had exposed parts that had been twisted. Half of the head was circled twice, and half of the twisted face could still be clearly seen on the head.

It was this twisted half of his face that made Noah stop.

Ash?
