Hunter: You Call This Food Hunter?

On the airship heading to Meteor Street, Eaton was looking through the information sent by Stig.

The evil thoughts appearing in Meteor Street this time originated from an unidentified corpse.

For Meteor Street, it is normal for corpses to appear on the garbage mountain, but this corpse is different. It has evil thoughts.

To be precise, this kind of thoughts after death is usually called "obsession" by mind-killing practitioners.

Just like the concept of "ghost".

After death, the soul (thought energy) will dissipate quickly, but for people with a strong will and deep obsessions, the soul (thought energy) will not only not dissipate, but will become stronger and turn into a ghost after death. order) exists at the lower level for a long time.

In Eaton's view, thoughts after death are like a [restriction and oath] initiated at the cost of one's own death.

Since the set limits are extremely high, the effects shown are also extremely strong.

Back to business.

The "obsession" of the corpse appearing in Meteor Street is very powerful.

As soon as it appeared, it killed hundreds of wanderers scavenging in the garbage mountain in a short period of time.

Subsequently, the elders sent out several Nin people and lost some of them.

Fortunately, this "obsession" is expressed in the form of a peculiar plant, which is not very mobile.

Otherwise, Meteor Street would have used weapons of mass destruction long ago, so why would there be any thought to ask a telepathic master to deal with it?

Behind the information are some abilities demonstrated by this "obsession".

Like controlling branches to attack opponents, using a large number of leaves to cut enemies, and selling poisonous white flowers.

It can even absorb human blood and turn it into its own nutrients to grow, controlling the activities of the people it kills.

For a moment, Eaton wondered if the "four or seventy-three" plants had become spirits.

Oh, it was originally a human being, right?

That’s okay!

Eaton took Shizuku off the airship, and Stig was already waiting here.

"Mr. Eaton, you are finally here."

Steger was visibly relieved to see Eaton.

Especially when he realized that he couldn't see through Eaton at all, he was even more relieved.

Seeing Stig's appearance, Eaton probably didn't have time to say anything.

"Let's talk as we walk."

"Okay, please come this way."

Stig looked happy and took Eaton and Shizuku into the car heading to Meteor Street.

In the car, Eaton asked: "Tell me what's going on now. You, the second-in-command, need to be dispatched to pick me up in person?"

Over the past few years, Stig also became the second-in-command of an elder on Meteor Street.

It seems that Tuanrou is really serious if Stig can be dispatched in person.

"You are joking, but you are just trying to make ends meet under someone else's hands."

Steiger was humbled, and then said: "The evil thought in the past few days, that is, the plant has grown again, and its root system has evolved the ability to move underground.

"It relies on this ability to attack and kill wanderers near the garbage mountain. Now no wanderer dares to scavenge.

"What's even more outrageous is that yesterday it moved to the only way to enter Meteor Street, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter and exit normally."

Eaton suddenly understood, no wonder Steiger would show off in person.

It is estimated that only a slightly capable person like Stig would dare to take that road now.

During the conversation, the car quickly approached Meteor Street.

From a distance, Eaton could see the towering tree rooted in the garbage mountain. It was estimated to be at least nearly a hundred meters high.

Large trees that are usually this tall all have thick trunks and lush branches and leaves.

The tree in front of me is different. Its trunk is relatively slender, its branches branch out into many branches, and the leaves on it are very sparse.

They don't look like trees at all, but instead look like super-enlarged versions of herbs.

The car stopped a few hundred meters away from the plant.

Steiger explained: "If you continue to move forward, you will be attacked by it.

"Mr. Eaton, what do you think we should do next? Can you solve it?"

Eaton's eyes flashed red, and he took a look at the plant.

He found that the plant did not bring him much danger, so getting rid of it shouldn't be a problem.

"The problem is not big and can be solved. But let's go to Meteor Street first."

In addition to the fact that the price of Nian has not yet been negotiated, Eaton is not in a hurry to start construction.

Stig was obviously aware of this and took the initiative: "Okay, I'll open the way for you."

After saying that, Stig rushed ahead.

The next moment, roots of plants suddenly sprang out from the ground, either straight or curved, trying to pierce and tie up Stig.

Stig was well prepared for this. Part of his mental energy changed and turned into a set of transparent armor to block the piercing roots.

At the same time, another part of the thought energy turned into an air blade in his hand. As the knife was swung, the roots were cut off one by one.

Eaton watched Stig's performance and quickly understood his Nen principle.

Can he transform his mental energy into various forms? It fits his Conjurer characteristics very well, and it has similarities with the island manifestation system.

Manipulator directly uses telekinesis tools to manifest various items.

Stig's Nen uses mind energy to simulate the forms of various items to obtain the effects of these items.

This Nen looks good, but is actually easy to learn but difficult to master.

Because human energy is limited, too many things that can change will distract energy.

In the end, everything can be changed, but the change will not be too strong.

Of course, it's also possible that Steiger is the type who focuses on changing one or two things.

Eaton and Steiger didn't know each other very well, so they weren't prepared to say anything more.

After finishing a batch of rhizomes, Steiger turned back and said: "Please follow me, Mr. Eaton, these rhizomes will regenerate soon."

Eaton followed Stig and picked up a piece of rhizome and looked at it in his hand.

The rhizome in his hand looked like an ordinary plant rhizome.

But with Eaton's knowledge, he could sense that before these roots were disconnected from the plant body, they were covered with a layer of mental energy.

A non-Nervous person cannot cut it off at all.

Eaton sighed with wonder in his heart, threw down the rhizome, and followed Stig into Meteor Street.

After entering Meteor Street, Steiger found another car and drove Eaton to the core area of ​​the inner city.

When passing by the church, Eaton asked the driver to stop for a moment and put Shizuku down here.

He is going to discuss business with the elders of Meteor Street next. Shizuku doesn't understand this and is not interested.

So just let her go find Sister Grea.

As for her safety, Eaton isn't too worried.

Shizuku is just a bit naturally dull and forgetful, but not really stupid.

Besides, she is still a level 3 Nin now, so she can't suffer any loss if she acts alone.

This is Eaton's first time in the core area of ​​Meteor Street.

The guards here are very tight. Although it is not as high as five steps and one post and ten steps and one sentry, it is not much different.

It seems that the more powerful a person is, the more they are afraid of death.

The elders of Meteor Street are obviously Nin people, but they have arranged so many defense forces to protect themselves.

The car soon drove into a manor in the core area.

As soon as Eaton got off the bus, an old man who looked to be in his fifties walked out of the manor with a smile.

I think this old man must be one of the elders of Meteor Street.

"Hahaha, you must be Mr. Eaton, right? I've known you for a long time. My name is Granard."

Although Granard was smiling, Eaton could see the cruelty hidden in his eyes, as well as the occasional glimmer of light.

It seems that Granard belongs to the Smiling Tiger type of character.

As Granard spoke, he extended his hand to shake Eaton's hand.

Eaton glanced at the back of Granard's hand. There was a crescent-like tattoo on it, with a "negative pole" symbol in the center.

This tattoo pattern looks familiar to Eaton.

But he didn't think much, and stretched out his hand to hold Granard's hand.

The moment the two hands clasped together, Japanese cold air flowed from Granard's hands to Eaton.

It can only be said that Granard and Stig are indeed masters and servants, even the methods of testing people are so similar.

Eaton remembered that Stig tested him in this way the last time he came to Meteor Street.

The difference is that Granard used his Nen directly.

Eaton could feel that this thought was filled with violent power, like a time bomb that was about to explode at any time.

No, this is not as if, but a fact.

Eaton thought about the origin of the tattoo on Granard's hand.

To be precise, it is not a tattoo, but the performance of Granard Nen.

Its name is [Paired Destroyer].

There is also a sun pattern on Granard's other hand, and in the pattern is the "positive pole" symbol opposite to the moon.0

By setting the marks of the sun and the moon on humans or objects, and then touching the two marks, an explosion will occur.

The two marks can be marked on different people or objects. In addition, the longer the marks are in contact, the stronger the explosion will be.

And once the mark is engraved on the body, it cannot be removed.

The reason why Eaton knows him is because Chrollo used this ability when fighting Hisoka in the original book.

And among the Nen stolen by Chrollo, there are a few Nen that still exist after the death of the original owner.

Chrollo once said that this was the ability he gained in Meteor Street.

Eaton also didn't expect to meet this Nen holder.

In fact, Granard's use of Nen on Eaton was not just to test him.

In his opinion, if Eaton is killed by his Nen, it means that Eaton does not have the ability to solve the problem of Meteor Street, and he does not need to waste time on Eaton.

Only if Eaton is safe can he be qualified to sit down and negotiate with him.

It's a pity that Granard didn't know that Eaton was a person who would avenge his grudges on the spot.

Unless Eaton can't defeat the opponent, he will put his grudge aside and wait to avenge it later.

Granard obviously does not belong to the latter.

Seeing that Granard seemed very enthusiastic, he was ready to hold Eaton with his other hand.

Eaton also knew what Granard was thinking.

This old bastard really wants to activate Nen and blow himself up.

In this case, don't blame him for being rude.

The moment Granard's other hand grasped Eaton's hand, Eaton activated his Greedy Mouth.

He directly swallowed the thought energy Granard left on his hand and the imprints of the opponent's hands into the stomach space.

This time Eaton swallowed Granard's Nen directly.

Although it would not cause Granard to lose [Paired Destroyer], he would not be able to use Nen until Shan could condense the mark on his hand again.

After noticing that the mark on his hand disappeared, Granard could no longer keep his smile.

Looking at the other party's solemn expression, Eaton pretended not to know and asked: "Mr. Granard, why don't you speak?"

Granard stared at Eaton and said, "What did you do to my Nen?"

"Huh? What Nen?"

Eaton pretended to be confused at first, and then showed an expression of realization.

"Mr. Granard won't use Nen on me, right?"

?"

"I forgot to tell you, my effect of erasing thoughts is stronger than that of other mind eradication masters. 11

"Especially when I am passively eliminating thoughts, that is, when someone triggers the condition of eliminating thoughts in me, if I am not careful, I will also eliminate the thoughts that do not need to be eliminated."

"But don't worry, Nen can be re-condensed in this case. You don't have to worry about being a useless person for the rest of your life."

The last two words of Eaton emphasized the tone, as if they were referring to something.

After knowing that his Nen could be condensed again, Granard's face showed a slight expression.

But he couldn't tell that Eaton was blaming himself.

Unexpectedly, I hunted geese all day long, but today I was pecked in the eye by a goose.

But now he can't get angry at Eaton, because without Nen he can't beat Eaton.

If there really was a fight, it would really be more of a loss than gain if Eaton even got rid of his mind energy.

Under the current circumstances, Granard has no intention of entertaining Eaton anymore.

He forced a smile and said: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Eaton, I suddenly feel a little unwell, so I'm afraid I can't entertain you.

"Stig will discuss with you the remuneration for removing the mind.

After giving Stig a look, Granard turned and walked back to his room.

He needs to gather his Nen again quickly, otherwise he will have no sense of security at all.

Stig was secretly shocked after witnessing all this. He didn't expect Eaton's methods to be so weird.

At the same time, he was also glad that he didn't go too far when he tested Eaton.

Otherwise, whether he could live to this day is still a question.

Stig gathered his thoughts and bowed to Eaton.

"I'm sorry Mr. Eaton, I apologize on behalf of the elder. His character is a bit domineering, please don't take it to heart.

Eaton waved his hands and said, "I don't have time to argue with a dying person."
