The Protagonist's Career Starting From Hunter

Of course, Shizuku's behavior is also because she has not been a member of the Phantom Troupe for long.

Although they both come from Meteor City and share many similar ideas, different experiences also shape different personalities.

Since she has recently joined the Phantom Troupe, Shizuku naturally has not been assimilated into the style of the Phantom Troupe.

For example, like Machi's behavior in the past, she chose to commit suicide under the control of Hisoka.

Shizuku's personality is obviously not so extreme.

As long as she is not treated beyond her limits, she can accept the situation.

As for betraying the Phantom Troupe, Shizuku does not consider her current actions as betrayal.

She is only trying to save her own life, which is a necessary survival choice.

"647" is the same. Although she accepted Bailang's invitation, it does not mean that she will truly serve Bailang in the future.

This is how Shizuku thinks, and Bailang knows that she probably thinks this way.

But he can only say that she is too naive with such thoughts.

Hmm... not only in terms of physical aspects, but also in terms of ideas.

"Seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster is human nature, but since you have chosen to join my team, I won't be polite with the initiation ceremony."

Bailang's smile did not diminish. He released the hand holding Shizuku's small hand, and then, at a speed that Shizuku couldn't react to, he pointed his finger at her forehead.

"Soul Capture" activated.

The powerful soul power condensed into a soul imprint was instantly imprinted into Shizuku's mind by Bailang, until it merged into her soul.

Her body trembled.

The piercing pain from her soul made Shizuku's expression show a painful color, and her eyes became unfocused.

Fortunately, this change did not last long, and she quickly returned to normal.

"What did you just do to me?"

Shizuku, who regained consciousness, quickly stepped back a few steps, looking at Bailang with suspicion.

"It's the initiation ceremony, as I just said. Oh, right, there's one last step left for the ceremony." Bailang walked forward with a smile.

In theory, after experiencing the abnormal situation just now, Shizuku should be very wary of Bailang.

When Bailang approached, she should continue to step back.

But strangely, just as she had this thought, her consciousness struggled and resisted her own thoughts, and instead actively approached Bailang.

Holding Shizuku's chin, Bailang leaned down and lightly kissed her cherry lips.

"Here's a seal for you. From now on, you are mine!" After tasting Shizuku's flavor, Bailang leaned close to her ear and exhaled his breath, marking her as his possession.

Shizuku stood dumbfounded in place.

It wasn't until Bailang stepped back and sat back on the sofa that she recovered from her daze.

"So, Machi, is this how you follow him? Hmm, are you the leader's person?" Shizuku touched her lips that had just been lightly kissed, her gaze not on Bailang, but on Machi.

"Hmm!" Machi avoided Shizuku's gaze, knowing that she also had a "contribution" to the current situation.

"Alright, then please take care of me, Captain, from now on." Shizuku sighed again, then shifted her gaze away from Machi's face and bowed slightly towards Bailang, who was sitting on the sofa.

She was someone who went with the flow.

In a situation where she had no power to resist, she quickly adjusted her mindset and began to accept reality.

"That's natural. Although my methods of recruitment are a bit special, I have always taken care of my team members.

For example, this is called 'Dragon's Blood,' a precious blood that can greatly enhance your strength.

Consider it a welcome gift for joining the team. I hope we can get along well in the future.

I have to say, Shizuku is someone that Bailang really likes, whether it's her appearance, figure, or personality.

So, in order to win her over and also strengthen Shizuku's power, Bailang took out the Dragon's Blood from the Dark Pearl.

Curious, Shizuku watched as Bailang poured out a portion of the Dragon's Blood and applied it to her arm.

"Wow, it's amazing. I feel like my body has become much stronger..." As soon as the Dragon's Blood was absorbed, Shizuku immediately felt the changes in her body, her face showing a surprised expression...

"That's natural!" Pengsi explained proudly, allowing Shizuku to further understand the powerful effects and rarity of Dragon's Blood.

In fact, Pengsi wasn't just showing off, but assisting Bailang in gaining Shizuku's loyalty.

Since Bailang invited Shizuku to join, Pengsi, who considered herself a capable assistant, had to help.

For example, she wanted Shizuku to truly devote herself to the team, rather than just being coerced.

After testing it out, Shizuku couldn't help but praise the effects of the Dragon's Blood, just as Pengsi had explained.

Compared to the other members of the Phantom Troupe, her thoughts were definitely much simpler.

If someone treats her well, she will be close to them.

If someone treats her poorly, she will naturally distance herself.

Although the way she joined the Hell's Angels was a bit unpleasant, with the precious gift of Dragon's Blood, Shizuku's resistance was immediately reduced by half.

"Are you here to find treasure?"

After the Dragon's Blood, Pengsi tried to get closer to Shizuku by starting a conversation.

After chatting for a while, when she learned the reason why Shizuku was here, Pengsi was instantly surprised.

"Treasure? What treasure?" Biscuit had originally come to Bailang to learn about the "Warrior Saint's Secret Scripture," but when she heard the word "treasure," she immediately abandoned Bailang and looked at Pengsi and Shizuku with shining eyes.

Treasure definitely wouldn't be complete without various gemstones.

As a gemstone hunter, Biscuit was particularly sensitive when it came to gemstones.

"Well... I just happened to come across some information. It is said that there is a hidden realm in this forest, which contains the treasure of an ancient kingdom." Shizuku replied truthfully.

"A hidden realm? Tell us more!" Bailang also became interested.

As his strength grew, his curiosity naturally became more intense.

He wasn't particularly interested in treasures, but he was curious about hidden realms.

Generally speaking, hidden realms are environments formed under special conditions, containing things that regular environments do not have.

For example, magical beasts, rare creatures, or supernatural phenomena...
