Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

"Four dead and seven missing, this is the result of the investigation."

In the command room, Pride was sitting on a sofa, holding a brown-covered book in his hand. He looked up at the purple-haired girl in front of him and said with an indifferent expression:

"Because your heart was damaged during the battle, you activated the emergency release procedure of the bracelet to return safely."

"Without the bracelet, you are already a corpse or an infected person."

Ma Qi's brows furrowed more and more as Ilumi spoke.

"As for your fellow thieves..." Pride's eyes slowly turned to the book, "We don't need to rescue them."

"But they disappeared because of your actions." Madge retorted.

"Act within your ability." As Pride spoke, he turned a page in the book with his little hand. "Overestimating one's abilities will lead to such consequences."

Madge stood there with her head lowered, silent. After a moment, she spoke:

"If I let them join the organization, does that mean I can send people in for search and rescue?"

"Oh~?" When Pride heard this, he stopped turning the page, looked up at Madge, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "They are all desperadoes from Meteor Street. Are you sure you can convince them to join?"

"I am also a desperado in Meteor Street." Madge looked coldly, "Don't worry about what I do, as long as I can convince them to join."

"Ha, I don't know where you get your confidence." A smile appeared on Pride's face, "I'll let you try it."

"But I want to remind you that joining the organization requires memory blockade just like you."

"Why!?" When Madge heard this, he immediately frowned and asked: "There are tens of thousands of members in the organization, you can't impose memory blockade on everyone!"

"That kind of thing is naturally impossible..." Pride said, still smiling: "But you are hard to trust."

"It's hard to trust..." When Madge heard these four words, there was a wave of emotion in her heart.

"Snapped!"

At this time, Pride, who was sitting on the sofa, closed the book in his hand, stood up and walked towards the tent door.

"It just so happens that Caesar, Eric, and Julius, who were on cleanup missions in various cities, have all returned."

"I'll take you to see them."

Pride's small body stepped over Madge, opened the tent and walked out.

"Caesar, Eric..."

Madge followed Pride and repeated the two names in her mind. Except for characters like Amed and Alvin who needed to appear frequently, the senior management of the Foundation she knew had met only a handful of times.

Madge followed Pride all the way through the temporary camp and into the forest behind the temporary camp. The midday sun poured through the gaps between the branches.

"Hoarse~!"

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a familiar neighing sound sounded, followed by a violent collision.

"This voice is!"

Madge immediately stopped, assumed a fighting stance, and looked at the forest ahead with a solemn expression.

"Don't worry, it's just a bunch of lost dogs."

In front of her, Pride continued to move unwaveringly, stepping on the ground covered with rotten leaves and dead branches.

Madge calmed down and resumed following Pride's footsteps.

"Wow..."

After a while, Madge kicked away the rotten leaves in front of her, walked out of the forest with Pride, and came to the open wasteland outside the forest.

"No. CGA-008, that's all. Send it up."

"This way, in order."

"This end doesn't have a number yet..."

"Hey! Be careful, that one is a very rare experimental subject that may evolve into an advanced form of mimicry!"

"This is an experimental subject named by both the Biotechnology R\u0026D Department and the Biomedicine R\u0026D Department!"

The empty wasteland outside the forest has been built into a huge temporary platform by the people of the Foundation. There are thirteen Night Crow aircraft parked on the platform, divided into two rows and parked on the platform.

Each Night Crow aircraft occupies at least 300 square meters of ground space, and the total space occupied by the thirteen Night Crow aircraft reaches nearly 4,000 square meters.

Under each Night Crow aircraft, there were more than a dozen logistics personnel and transport personnel driving small transport vehicles carrying huge alloy boxes back and forth.

There are a large number of defense force soldiers standing guard outside the platform, as well as power armor troops patrolling.

At a glance, there are people and vehicles everywhere, and it’s a busy scene.

"What's happening here?"

"When did there be a... base platform here?"

Madge was now at the edge of the forest, looking at the scene in front of her with surprise on her face.

"It's naturally difficult to do it with ordinary methods, but if people with relevant telekinesis abilities combine it with modern industry, it can be done easily."

Pride walked forward and said calmly.

"To actually use the power of telekinesis on something like this..."

Madge followed Pride, looking left and right at the logistics personnel coming and going. Judging from their words, those boxes must contain mimicry.

"Why didn't other telepaths and rulers do this?"

Madge asked a question.

"First, because there are too few people with telekinesis abilities, most people become telekinesis users with the goal of becoming stronger. Naturally, they will not develop telekinesis abilities in this engineering direction."

"The second reason is that the current rulers don't like uncontrollable power. Naturally, the fewer people who know about telekinesis, the better."

"The third reason is to rashly disclose the existence of telekinesis. This kind of idealistic power may completely impact the existing social system and turn it into a world where strength is paramount."

"Even if powerful military force is used to barely control the situation, it will have a violent impact on the current social system like a flood and earthquake."

"More than that, by that time, the number of telepathic users will also become a part of measuring a country's overall strength."

"The countries in the world today can still maintain a weak balance, but as long as a person with extraordinary telekinesis suddenly appears in a certain country, it will be possible to break the balance of military power among all countries."

"For example, Isaac Nitro is recognized as the strongest telepathic person in the world. "

"Sooner or later, this tacit understanding will be broken due to the increasing number of people with telekinesis."

"The senior leaders of each country naturally understand this truth, but all countries maintain a weak tacit understanding and try to control the situation."

Pride held the book in his arms and led Madge through the Night Crow aircraft to the outermost edge of the platform. He looked sideways at Madge and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Marge, what do you think the world will be like by then?"

"It's definitely going to be chaos."

Madge pondered in silence for a moment before replying.

"No matter what kind of person can get power, good, evil, or both, they can only act according to their own preferences."

"Systems, classes, and uneven wealth ratios will all fall apart in the presence of things like the ability to read."
