"Ah!!!!!!!!!!"
"Damn it! What are you doing? You actually killed Jorah?"
"Hahaha! Die! All of you, die! Kill them all!"
"He's gone mad! Take him down!"
"No! That's not right! It's an ability!"
"Damn it! The guy who left the message on the wall is here! He's going to kill us all!"
...
For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere inside the small cargo container!
Since they were all Nen users, even using the most basic "wrap" technique, they could still deal severe injuries or even kill their opponents with the advantage of a sudden attack.
"Un... unbelievable! Those guys are really killing each other!"
Through the night-vision binoculars, Lys clearly saw the brutal slaughter taking place inside the distant cargo container.
Just as Baudelot said, the members of the Deathbird hadn't even seen Allen's face when one of them suddenly went berserk and killed two of them, the dark red blood instantly staining the ground.
"Is this some kind of manipulation-type Nen ability?" Luna asked with a serious expression.
Baudelot shrugged with a bitter smile: "Sorry, don't ask me, because I have no idea. In a way, this is where Allen truly shines! You never know how many cards he has hidden or what methods he will use. In the world of Nen, the unknown is the most terrifying thing."
Just as the three were talking, the Deathbird members finally took down the guy controlled by the "Dwarf Brainwashing Cap" and rushed out of the cargo container one after another.
When they just reached the door, they suddenly saw a strange figure holding a huge scythe, dressed in a black robe from head to toe.
An incomprehensible Grim Reaper!
Before these guys could react, they saw the Grim Reaper's eyes flash with ominous red light.
The next second...
One of their arms suddenly and without warning plunged into another person's back, digging out the heart and crushing it with force.
Not only these two, but almost everyone present experienced uncontrolled limb or organ movements.
The mutual slaughter began again!
This time, there were no survivors!
Because every person present had already made eye contact with the Grim Reaper!
Added to this, Allen had deliberately used the Dwarf Brainwashing Cap to create panic and distrust, even making them mistakenly believe that once controlled, there was no way to escape and they had to be killed.
So, without even seeing who the enemy was, they all became corpses lying in a pool of blood, exactly eight people, no more, no less.
The red dragon Vylaras undoubtedly smelled the scent of food and immediately appeared in physical form, opening its mouth to try to turn the dead into cocoons and devour them.
But before she could take action, Allen stopped her: "Stop! These guys can't be touched. Their bodies must be left here for the police to find and close the case. Otherwise, someone will definitely connect it to my ability. After all, many people have already seen your ability to devour cocoons."
"Ah—okay, what a pity."
Vylaras's eyes showed intense reluctance, but she quickly turned into a non-physical state.
As soon as the huge red dragon disappeared, Lys ran over from the roof of the rear warehouse, staring at the bodies scattered around the cargo container with an incredulous tone: "Is it over just like that?"
"What else? Do you think there would be a fierce battle after such thorough preparation?" Allen sneered in response. "Actually, these guys haven't fought for a long time, even their basic Nen training has become lax. Plus, with a planned attack, their fate was sealed from the moment I targeted them."
"You're right! In the world of Nen, the first move means a huge advantage, especially for a monster like you. Now, I can finally face my fallen comrades with peace of mind. Here, take your reward, and we'll be even."
Saying this, Luna took out a small knife and threw it to Allen, then straightforwardly admitted defeat.
Instantly!
The abilities "Hunting Map" and "Eye of the Dead" disappeared from her body, along with the aura she had cultivated for over ten years.
"Here's mine too!"
Lys also handed over his Nen without hesitation.
Feeling the three newly acquired abilities and the large amount of aura, Allen nodded in satisfaction: "It was a pleasure working with you! If there's nothing else, I'll leave now. After all, the smell of blood is so strong here, it might attract patrolling security at any time."
"Sure! No problem! Lys and I are also leaving. We're putting aside our past hatred and starting a new life. Thank you again for your help; otherwise, we would never have been able to take down these enemies. Goodbye, and I look forward to meeting you again in the future, in a different way."
After saying this, Luna put her finger to her lips and made a kissing gesture, then turned and disappeared into the night with her companion.
For them, giving up their Nen was also a way to completely break ties with the past.
After all, only by leaving this circle and returning to society as ordinary people could they truly distance themselves from those painful and sad memories.
Watching the two women's backs gradually fade away, Allen couldn't help but admire: "They are very free-spirited, aren't they?"
"Yes! They can take and let go, which is rare for women. But they probably made a lot of money as hunters, so they won't have any problems no matter what kind of life they choose in the future. And leaving the Nen circle isn't necessarily a bad thing." Baudelot also sighed.
The longer he was involved with Nen, the more he realized that some of his original beliefs were completely wrong.
For example, it's not true that the stronger you are, the safer you are.
On the contrary!
The stronger you are, the more powerful opponents you attract!
All Nen users advance in this constant cycle of hunting and being hunted, either striving to become stronger or being eliminated by the brutal competition.
Apart from losing their abilities or dying, there is no other way to break out of this vicious circle.
However, as a martial artist who enjoys challenging strong opponents, Baudelot didn't dislike this dangerous environment; he even enjoyed it a little.
"Let's wish them a smooth return to a normal life. Now that I have the Hunting Map ability, I can hunt wanted criminals to my heart's content. I'll try to gather as many cocoons as possible before heading to Yorknew City to increase my total aura."
As soon as he finished speaking,
Allen immediately activated his ability and started searching for information on Nen-using wanted criminals on the Hunter website.
This time, he didn't deliberately choose B-class or higher criminals but adopted a broad strategy, marking all the ruthless and bloodthirsty wanted criminals on the map.
In no time, the map was densely dotted with red points representing the targets, just looking at it made one's scalp tingle.
Even Baudelot couldn't help but comment: "Are you crazy? We might not be able to catch all of them in a year."
"I never said we had to catch all of them. We'll see how many we can catch by the end of August, like a lottery, to see which of these wanted criminals is the unluckiest to fall into my hands." Allen waved the map in his hand, a playful smile on his lips.
