Chapter 100: Are You Really Only 13 Years Old?
1. Based on the principle of the birth of Nen abilities, only the creator of the book "Bogman" can develop such a powerful Nen ability that is so well-suited to the content of the book.
2. Based on the content of the book "Bogman," the first human to be transformed by the ability is called Bogman, and the humans transformed by Bogman are collectively referred to as Bogmen.
3. Referring to the first and second points, the condition for transforming the first Bogman is suspected to be the book signing event organized by the author Davidson. Given the scale and influence of this ability, the conditions for activating the ability are likely to be very strict, with at least five or more conditions.
4. This is just a hypothesis: The conditions for activating the ability are: ① Recognizing the book "Bogman," ② Recognizing the author Davidson, ③ Obtaining a book with Davidson's personal signature, ④ Having physical contact with the author Davidson, ⑤ After meeting multiple conditions, the ability can only be activated after death. Given the effect of the ability, the possibility of inducing suicide can be ruled out.
5. The first Bogman, born by meeting the activation conditions, will transform more Bogmen by creating "death."
6. Similarly, from the second Bogman onwards, the number can only be increased by creating "death," which means killing people personally.
7. The transformed Bogmen are like data copies, retaining all the original attributes of their hosts.
8. The transformation phenomenon of Bogmen has a high degree of concealment. If the murderer is used as a reference, it is initially determined that the ability is triggered when there are no third parties present, and the creation of death begins.
9. In summary, the condition for the spread of Bogmen is the creation of death. Taking the Delta Restaurant incident as an example, it can be basically determined that even if the death is not intentionally created by the Bogmen, it can still serve as a condition for activating the ability, transforming the victim into a Bogman.
This is the information and viewpoint that Moyu simply wrote in the notebook.
Most of the content is related to death.
This is because the characteristic of Bogman's ability and the opening content of the book "Bogman" are both centered around death.
The book begins with the protagonist accidentally being struck by lightning and dying in a swamp, and the swamp, also struck by lightning, perfectly replicates the protagonist with bog mud.
The story unfolds from this moment, meaning:
Death—
is the beginning of the entire book.
Pjorn, after reading the content listed by Moyu, discovered that Moyu's viewpoints and inferences were more comprehensive than theirs.
Just by listening to the partial information provided and combining it with the two encounters with Bogmen, Moyu could come up with so many viewpoints and inferences in such a short time?
This guy... how old does he look?
Hey, this doesn't match his appearance at all.
What did he eat to grow up like this?!
Pjorn was deeply shaken.
Moyu, seeing Pjorn stop talking after saying "you, you, you" and just gaping, reminded her:
"You don't need to worry about whether the things I listed are useful; just help me see which parts need to be supplemented."
"..."
Pjorn was silent.
The information the Association had gathered through various actions in recent times was not as comprehensive as what was written on the paper.
So she wanted to say... there's nothing to add.
But she couldn't bring herself to say it, so she pretended to pick up a pen and wrote some things on the paper.
She added some details to the content Moyu listed, so it wouldn't seem like she was too dull.
"Here."
After writing, Pjorn handed the pink notebook back.
Moyu took the notebook and began to review it.
A moment later.
He looked at Pjorn with confusion.
It doesn't seem like much new information was added...
Pjorn felt a bit embarrassed and pretended to suddenly think of something, taking out her rabbit-ear phone and changing the subject:
"Almost forgot to save the contact number, Kester, what's your number?"
"..."
Moyu paused for a moment, then gave her the number.
Pjorn dialed the number, waited for Moyu's phone to ring, confirmed it was correct, and then hung up.
"Okay, saved."
After saving the number, Pjorn immediately suggested, "The investigation of this incident is almost complete. Let's go back to the Association next. As for here, the local authorities will manage it properly."
"Alright."
Moyu didn't say much, took out his phone, opened the call log, and saved Pjorn's number in his contacts, with the name noted as: Bunny Girl.
After leaving the Delta Restaurant.
Pjorn was decisive, immediately booking the next flight to Schwadani City.
So.
Moyu informed Liz and sent a text message to Kido, then boarded the spaceship to Schwadani City with Pjorn.
Three days ago, he flew from Schwadani City to Laxiang City, and on the first day, he encountered two groups of Bogmen, even interacting with Ilmi.
After that, he slept for two days, and upon waking up, Pjorn came to find him, and now he was flying back to the Hunter Association's location in Schwadani City.
This is...
a bit hard to describe.
"Why are you staring at me?"
On the spaceship, Moyu noticed Pjorn's unusual behavior.
Since boarding the spaceship, she had been playing with her phone, but she would occasionally glance over.
This behavior doesn't fit the profile of a heavy phone user.
"Nothing, just think you're pretty impressive, yeah, at least more reliable than some guy with a 'tiger' connection."
Pjorn was straightforward, directly stating the reason for staring at Moyu.
Moyu heard the derogatory tone in Pjorn's words about someone.
This is indeed a case of praising one while criticizing another.
As for the guy with a 'tiger' connection mentioned by Pjorn, Moyu easily figured out who it was.
"Does the Association still have no information on Davidson's movements?"
Moyu didn't respond to Pjorn's words but instead asked a question related to the entire Bogman incident.
He was thinking that if the Hunter Association had Nen ability users capable of finding people, he might be able to use their ability to locate the wanted criminal Dis, whom he wanted to hunt.
"Davidson appeared in Laxiang City a few days ago, and that was the last place he was seen. After that, he disappeared."
"Book signing event?"
"Yes."
"I see, that's enough to show... he has already realized he has been exposed."
"About that, I have no objections."
Pjorn put away her phone and sighed softly, "If we could catch Davidson, there wouldn't be so many troubles."
"You seem a bit too optimistic."
Moyu slightly adjusted his posture and looked out the window.
"Hmm?"
Pjorn looked at Moyu's side face.
Moyu said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, one of the constraints of Bogman's ability is likely to force Davidson to maintain a state of 'absolute.' Additionally, can you easily conclude... that killing Davidson will解除 the ability?"
"..."
Pjorn's eyes narrowed, and her gaze on Moyu's side face was filled with a mix of surprise and uncertainty.
Yes...
She hadn't thought that far.
She just thought that finding Davidson and killing him would solve the problem.
"Regardless of whether Davidson's death can解除 the ability, it's also possible that the already transformed Bogmen will die after the ability is解除. The key issue is, given Davidson's personality type..."
Moyu slowly revealed a more terrifying hypothesis.
"His Nen will likely remain after death, and the Nen left behind will become even stronger due to death. I believe that would be the real disaster."
"..."
Pjorn was silent.
This guy...
"Kester, are you really only thirteen years old?"
"?"
Tomorrow morning, I have to accompany my relatives to the city to handle some matters, so I have to get up very early and won't have time to write. Therefore, there are only two chapters today. I'm sorry!
