JOJO in the world of hunters

A burly man, wearing a dark blue lining and a white suit, looked like a beast in clothes.

Her hair is meticulously combed, she has a face typical of Sakura Country, and her skin is a healthy wheat color.

The people around him looked at him curiously. Although his attire was formal, it made people unconsciously think of thugs in suits.

He was lying on the table eating authentic ramen from Sakura Country, with three empty bowls stacked next to him.

"I'm done eating, thank you for your hospitality!" The man in the suit clasped his hands together, put his chopsticks on the empty bowl, and was about to pay.

"The hospitality was poor, Xiuyi-kun, why did you only eat four bowls today? This is not your style. You can't work hard if you don't have enough to eat.

Is there something wrong with the taste? Tell me what you think."

The store manager asked the man in the suit with a smile while clearing away the dishes.

"You're dressed so formally. Are you going to see your girlfriend? You're here too...?"

"Uncle, don't guess. Our head office parachuted in with a special correspondent and asked him to come here. I'm here to pick him up and let him familiarize himself with the situation."

The man in the suit took out two coins unique to Sakura Country from his wallet and left.

Shuichi Yamanaka, thirty-three years old, a native of Sakura Country, a professional hunter.

He was born in an ordinary town in Sakura Country. Nine years ago, he took the hunter exam and passed it, obtaining a license.

I studied under a local Nen ability user in my hometown for two years, mastered most of the techniques of Nen ability, and then came to Kyoto.

His favorite food is flavored barbecued pork noodles and seafood ramen. Now he is pretending to be a consultant for a headhunting company.

His true identity is a mysterious hunter. He has been interested in mysterious things since he was a child. In recent years, monsters have become rampant throughout Sakura Country, allowing him to work in his hometown.

Yamanaka Shuichi drove the car skillfully through the alleys, and soon came to a pier.

This wharf is not big, pitifully small compared to the Kyoto wharf. It can only accept cargo ships of less than 100,000 tons to enter and exit, and it cannot accept anything higher than that.

The daily unloading volume is also very limited. Based on this situation, the government specially opened this area as a dock for passenger ships and fishing boats. Under normal circumstances, it does not accept bulk cargo ships.

This place is bustling with people during the day, and there is a seafood market just a few kilometers away. Countless tourists from all over the world, as well as the freshest fish they have just caught, are at this pier.

It gets much deserted at night, and you can't see many people. This is not a tourist attraction, and there are no tourists at night. The street lights are still sparsely on.

Yamanaka Shuichi looked at the cruise ship slowly approaching from a distance, his face serious and nervous.

It is said that the headquarters specially sent a one-star criminal hunter to find out the details of these monsters.

It is said that he is not yet twenty years old. Although he is very confused as to why the association sent a criminal hunter to check those monsters, he does not dare to speculate.

He sat on the pier and looked into the distance. Several children next to him were waiting for their father who was fishing at sea to come back and playing together. Some people looked at this burly man in a suit curiously.

Yamanaka Shuichi also lit a cigarette to calm down. The airborne boss was said to be a lone wolf and refused all help from the association.

After a while, many taxis rushed to the pier.

These children also knew that a passenger ship was coming.

Half an hour later, the cruise ship carrying the one-star criminal hunter docked.

To be honest, he didn't understand why the criminal hunter didn't take a faster plane, but a small boat like this for tourists.

Could it be to see the scenery? Yamanaka Shuichi couldn't help but guess.

According to the previously determined code, Yamanaka Shuichi raised a sign with a star, and then adjusted his mind.

Sure enough, a mature-looking young man looked over. He was wearing a black coat with a high open collar and a large gold-plated chain on it. The hat on his head was connected to his hair. It was very weird, but he felt inexplicably handsome.

He also signaled with his mind energy and walked towards Yamanaka Shuichi.

Yamanaka Shuichi soon noticed that the opponent's left hand was a little uncoordinated and was wearing thick gloves. It felt like he had been injured in some way.

Adhering to the tradition of saying nothing inappropriate, he didn't ask, which would be too rude.

"This is our first meeting, please give me some advice! My name is Yamanaka Shuichi and I am here to help you understand the basic situation of this city."

Saying that, Yamanaka Shuichi bowed, which made Jon, who wanted to reach out to shake hands, feel a little embarrassed.

"My name is Jotaro Kujo. I'm here to understand the situation here. I also ask for your advice."

Yamanaka Shuichi had already booked a hotel for Jon, and he drove Jon to have dinner first.

Jon didn't mince words and ended his polite remarks in the car.

"I heard that there are frequent sightings of monsters in this city? Why hasn't the association solved it for so long?"

Yamanaka Shuichi smiled and explained: "You don't know something. Although monsters have been rampant in Sakura Country in recent years, and there have been many sightings, the number of incidents of monsters hurting people is only over a hundred, and the total number of deaths is less than 200.

.”

"Isn't that much?" Jon admired his big heart.

"Not too many, not too many. The incidents that actually hurt people are less than one percent of the total. Monsters will not intentionally attack humans under normal circumstances. And those people who were eaten by monsters all committed criminal acts.

of villains.

We don’t know the position of these monsters either. Some consortiums and gangs even have deep ties with monsters and have large-scale cooperation.”

"Monsters and humans?" Jon was shocked. He didn't expect such an operation. "What do those shrines say?"

"In some shrines and temples, there have been rumors of gods and Buddhas appearing in the past two years, and some people even went to some onmyojis to fight monsters.

And so far, the most powerful monsters have not appeared yet.

The monsters that have been discovered so far are actually not too strong, and a team of well-trained soldiers can basically deal with them with guns.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are big monsters like Yamata-no-Orochi that are difficult for even gods to fight against, but the ones that appear now are just small monsters." Yamanaka Shuichi said.

"Is this why the mission is judged B?"

"If Yamata no Orochi really appears, then the mission will be at least A level, and can even reach S level. But I think it is better not to upgrade this mission."

If Yamata-no-Orochi really appears, we can only rely on cloud bombs or nuclear weapons.

The Yamata no Orochi is as big as a mountain range. Even if the president's Baishi Kannon attacks with full force, it will not be able to do much damage. It is estimated that a nuclear explosion-level attack will be effective.

If you encounter such a monster, just hit it with a hammer and run away. Even the association can't suppress public opinion. It's such a big snake and it's not blind. No one will believe the association's nonsense.

Jon decided to cut to the chase and ask what he wanted to know most.

"Hideichi-san, do you know that there is a legend that mermaids can become immortal if they eat them?"

Yamanaka Shuichi suddenly paused and was silent for two seconds before speaking.

"Not only do I know, I have also seen a mermaid but it was snatched away by a group of unknown bounty hunters.

I've been investigating their boss recently and I found a suspicious person.

It is Eiichiro Yamada, the major shareholder behind Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Yamada Co., Ltd., one of the richest people in Sakura Country. He was diagnosed with cancer cells that had spread throughout his body about three years ago.

His current telekinesis ability may not necessarily be of any use, but his health inexplicably improved three years ago, and he continues to attend various business events.

Moreover, it seems that his relationship with several other large financial groups in Sakura Country suddenly became very ambiguous, and other financial groups abnormally gave away profits to Eiichiro Yamada.

I suspect that the mermaid that was snatched away before was eaten by him. But I have no evidence, and even if I have evidence, I don’t have it. It is just a monster..."

Shuichi Yamanaka braked and the car stopped in a parking space next to a barbecue restaurant.

"How about some barbecue?"
