Chapter 70

Squeak—

Accompanied by the screeching sound of brakes, Luna pushed open the door and got out of a black sedan, waving to the two people lying on the park bench with a smile: "Hi! You both look great."

"Nine minutes and twenty-five seconds! Your control over time and distance really took me by surprise. Aren't you going to explain?" Allen stared at his watch and asked pointedly.

"Don't rush! I promise I'll give you a satisfactory answer. But first, I want to introduce you to someone very important, my best friend and partner."

With that, Luna pointed to a woman who had just emerged from the other side of the car door, wearing a black crop top and denim shorts.

The woman came up to them directly and extended her right hand: "Hello, I'm Reese. Nice to meet you."

"Sorry, I don't want any physical contact until I understand your abilities." Allen refused the handshake without hesitation.

Although he had a certain degree of "exorcism" ability, he still maintained a high level of caution towards unfamiliar Nen users.

Who knew if some people might deliberately use a handshake as a prerequisite and develop some bizarre Nen abilities.

"No problem! I admire your caution! In the world of Nen, only the sufficiently cautious can survive to the end." Reese not only didn't get angry, but she even showed an appreciative expression.

"Then—what's the purpose of all this effort? Or what do you want me to do for you?" Allen asked straightforwardly.

Clearly, by analyzing Luna's behavior and abilities, he had already determined that these two women must have some request for him.

Otherwise, they could have sold his location and itinerary to information brokers to make a huge profit.

"Have you heard of the Deathbird?"

Reese directly mentioned a mysterious assassin organization that was even obscure within the Nen community.

After all, when it came to assassins, everyone immediately thought of the Zoldyck family.

The Zoldycks never hid themselves; anyone who needed them could find and contact them.

"Deathbird? Hmm—If I remember correctly, they were a group that disappeared around seven or eight years ago, right?" Allen rubbed his chin, quickly searching his memory for related information.

When he was searching for wanted criminals, he had seen some information and records about the "Deathbird" on the Hunter website. He knew they were a group of top-notch assassins who were most active about ten years ago but gradually faded from public view for unknown reasons.

More interestingly, even the powerful Hunter Association had never obtained their photos or detailed information, and couldn't even determine the number of members.

The only thing known was that these people killed without hesitation, and during each operation, they would indiscriminately kill all witnesses to ensure their true identities remained unknown.

Reese nodded lightly: "That's right! It's them! If I tell you we have detailed information on these people, would you be interested?"

"Oh? Do you have a personal grudge against them?"

Allen keenly noticed the fleeting anger and hatred in her eyes.

However, considering the countless wanted criminal lists on the Hunter website and the several pages of Nen criminal organization data, such a situation wasn't particularly surprising.

Killing and being killed!

Hunting and being hunted!

These were the main themes of the world of professional Hunters.

As long as one became a Nen user, they would inevitably face such situations.

And the relatives and friends of the deceased would not simply accept everything; they would naturally try to find the "murderer" to seek revenge.

Just look at how many times the Zoldyck family was invaded each year; it was clear that there were plenty of avengers in this world.

The only issue was that without sufficient strength, such revenge was essentially just a waste of life.

Reese clearly had no intention of hiding anything and admitted frankly: "That's right! Luna and I were victims of the Deathbird's last operation, and we were also the survivors.

It was precisely because of that failure that they were forced to go into hiding.

However, these bastards didn't know that Luna has two extremely special Nen abilities.

One is 'Hunting Map,' which you should already be familiar with.

The other is 'Eye of the Dead.'

This means that for all the hunters and prey marked by the 'Hunting Map,' no matter who kills whom, she can record through the eyes of the dead the entire ten minutes before their death, down to the last detail.

However, Luna herself cannot see these records, but she can allow a third party to view them through eye contact.

The Deathbird's last assassination target happened to be the person our team was responsible for protecting.

When they launched their attack, Luna quickly used the Hunting Map to cover both sides.

But ultimately, due to the disparity in strength, our team suffered heavy casualties, and only she and I managed to survive.

However, to keep the enemy off guard, we didn't publicly disclose the information and abilities of the Deathbird members. Instead, we patiently waited and searched for the right person to help us complete this revenge mission."

"So... I'm the person you think is suitable? Why not hire the Zoldycks? They are the most suitable for this kind of job, right?" Allen asked with some confusion.

"Did you think we didn't try? But the Zoldycks' price was too high, so high that we couldn't afford it. But if it's you, we're willing to offer our abilities as compensation to have you eliminate all the members of the Deathbird organization." Reese stated her terms straightforwardly.

She clearly understood that without offering something that would interest the other party, it would be impossible to reach an agreement.

"Using abilities as compensation? That doesn't sound bad. But before that, I need a complete understanding of your abilities. Is that okay?"

At the mention of abilities, Allen's face immediately showed interest.

He couldn't help but be interested!

What he currently lacked the most were tracking and positioning auxiliary abilities.

If he could acquire the 'Hunting Map' and 'Eye of the Dead,' it would make finding wanted criminals much easier.

"No problem!" Reese nodded without hesitation and activated her Nen. "First, my ability—Heartbeat Pocket Watch."

As she spoke, a heart-shaped pocket watch appeared in her hand.

"As you can see, this watch has three hands and six scales.

The latter represents heart rate, which are: stopped, very slow, slow, fast, very fast, and burst.

The former, like the hour, minute, and second hands of a watch, represent different time variables.

When the second hand points to 'very slow,' the heart rate will instantly slow down within one second. If it's the minute hand, it represents one minute, and so on.

However, these hands cannot be changed arbitrarily but depend on the duration of the battle.

For example, if I fight an opponent for one second, I can change the second hand once. If it's one minute, I can change the minute hand once, disrupting the heart rate to affect the opponent's body, movements, and battle rhythm.

If the battle lasts more than an hour, I can directly stop the target's heart or make it burst instantly.

Of course, stopping the heart and making it burst can only be used if the hour hand has completed a full rotation.

In addition, I can also change my own heart rate to provide more oxygen to my muscles in a short time, significantly increasing my burst strength..."
