The streets was silent.
Buck, lying motionless on the ground, eventually took his last breath.
The commotion from the previous battle had attracted many onlookers.
However, those onlookers didn't dare to approach casually, and only observed the situation from a distance.
At this moment, the siren of the police car could be heard approaching from afar.
Someone must have reported the incident.
Meanwhile, Moses and the others had already returned to the Covariant Law Firm, showing no intention of dealing with the body.
Inside the office on the second floor.
Moses huddled in the corner and remained silent, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
But the Stone Hunter aunt had no intention of letting him off.
No matter where he shrank to, Biscuit would get close and then observe him closely, making a tut-tut sound.
Moses's eyes showed a trace of regret.
He lowered his head, pretending that Biscuit did not exist, and at the same time, closed his Aura nodes and entered Zetsu state, trying to restore his potential Aura as soon as possible, so that he could test his abilities at will later.
Amidst the voices coming from the side, besides Biscuit's tut-tut sound, there was Lisha and Sanbica's conversation.
"The last one didn't make it. Congratulations on temporarily escaping, Miss Virus Hunter."
Lisha's expression was cold, and her displeasure was clearly evident.
Even though Moses had resolved the last Nen user who pursued Sanbica, the troubles brought by Sanbica wouldn't disappear.
Just thinking about the possibility of being considered a 'conspirator' gave Lisha a headache.
She is a lawyer. She only accepts commissions within the legal framework and won't participate in any form of conflict outside of the law.
Sanbica's actions tonight seemed to be announcing a message to the outside world: She, Lawyer Lisha, has broken the rules.
"I'm sorry."
Leaning against the sofa, Sanbica's weak body curled slightly.
This Virus Hunter lady, who always exudes a delicate atmosphere in her words and actions, seemed to be either on the way to saving someone or apologizing.
"You…"
Suppressing the urge to curse Sanbica, Lisha instead asked somewhat powerless: "So, what did you do, exactly?"
"…"
While still silent, Sanbica took out a small silver box from her clothes.
Lisha looked at the box Sanbica took out.
Under her gaze, Sanbica opened the box, revealing three red and white pills inside.
"These are the latest improved samples of G-Drug…"
"Hmm?"
Lisha frowned and immediately understood the reason why Sanbica was hunted down by Nen users. After hearing the words 'improved samples', she couldn't help but think of a certain possibility.
'It seems that the mobsters in Spice City are no longer satisfied with the status quo...'
Sanbica looked at the Lisha, who is lost in thought, and explained in a low voice:
"They call this improved G-Drugs G2. I've seen some data... G2 has enhances the original hallucinogenic effect, and the addictive side effects that make people dependent... have also undergone changes in nature."
"Changes?"
Lisha's expression changed slightly. The frightening aspect of the G-Drug was its addictive nature that could lead people into dependence.
"Um."
As Sanbica's physical condition seemed to be gradually improving, she said with a solemn look:
"The original G-Drug will make the human body dependent during the period of taking it. This side effect comes from the physical level and is difficult to quit by relying solely on willpower. But the improved G2... extends this dependence to the mental level, causing the people taking it to... become obedient to those nearby while in a hallucinogenic state."
"Obedient? What do you mean by that?"
Lisha's eyes narrowed.
Sanbica lightly bit her lip and said, "It means that people who take the drugs in a hallucinogenic state will inevitably develop a psychological dependence on those nearby and become submissive."
"Huh? Such a thing…"
Lisha found it somewhat unbelievable.
Illegal drugs that induce physical or psychological dependence are very common in the shady underground world.
However, drugs like 'G2', which approaches the realm of Manipulation-type Nen ability, are unheard of.
If what Sanbica said is true, once 'G2' circulates and spreads in underground world's channels, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Miss Virus Hunter, it seems that you've "stolen" something incredible, but..."
Lisha rubbed her temples and calmly said: "The premise is that the actual efficacy of this drug matches the 'data' you've seen."
"Um."
Sanbica nodded silently and whispered: "So I need to return to Swardani City as soon as possible and submit 'G2' to the Association, to let the association examine it and get results as quickly as possible. But..."
Swardani City is the city where the Hunter Association's headquarters is located.
Lisha instantly heard the need for help in Sanbica's words, and her brows furrowed tightly as she fell into silent contemplation.
Not to mention that she has many important commissions on hand, in the unexpected situation tonight, it was impossible for her to just leave, let alone escort Sanbica to Swardani City.
Simply put-
She was powerless about Sanbica's situation.
Sanbica looked at Lisha, who suddenly fell silent, pursed her lips, and wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to speak.
In the nearby corner.
Moses, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but glance at the silver box in Sanbica's hand after listening to the conversation between Lisha and Sanbica.
And Biscuit, who was harassing Moses, was also attracted by the silver box in Sanbica's hand.
'To be able to make the person taking the drug develop a psychological compliance with the people nearby.'
'If it's true…'
'What a good stuff.' x2.
Moses and Biscuit thought in unison.
Then, the two inexplicably looked at each other.
"?" x2.
In that instant eye contact, Moses and Biscuit were both stunned for a moment. Immediately, they casually averted their gazes, as if nothing had happened.
'This guy...' x2.
Moses kept his head down, while Biscuit drooped her eyelids.
'What do you want to do?' x2.
Both were shocked and confused.
At this time-
There was a knocking sound coming from downstairs, interrupting the silent atmosphere in the office.
"Hide for now."
Lisha knew that the police had arrived.
Although she can ignore the body outside, the same cannot be said for the body in the office.
In the end, she would still have to deal with the police officers.
But with Lisha's identity and capabilities, it wasn't something troublesome.
Sanbica stood up with difficulty after hearing this.
She couldn't be discovered by the arriving police officers, otherwise, she will stand in a very passive position.
Moses glanced at her, but hesitantly gave up the idea of helping her.
After all, they weren't familiar with each other.
Furthermore, his impression of Sanbica is very vague. He only vaguely remembers seeing her in the original work's election arc, seemingly as one of the candidates for the next Chairman.
Following Lisha's instructions, Moses and the others temporarily hid.
Meanwhile, Lisha went down to deal with the police.
It's uncertain what method she used, but while staying out of the matter, she even had the police willingly take away the body from the office.
'Hopefully, the trouble will end soon. I want to develop my abilities!'
Listening to the fading commotion, Moses thought to himself.
