Moses's absorption of the viscous black substances was considered by Lisha as Nen Exorcism.
Now, seeing Moses faint, Lisha immediately concluded that this was the aftermath caused by Nen Exorcism.
Her judgment cannot be said to be correct, but there is indeed some correlation in it.
Because the viscous black substances left behind by the deaths of the Swamp People did contain some weak Nen.
These Nen weren't triggered by Davison's "Swamp Man's Book" ability, but were the only remnants of their minuscule souls left by these people after being transformed into Swamp People. And although it is subtle, it can still be classified as Post-Mortem Nen.
Moses's shadow absorbed them, and in terms of results, it could be considered as exorcism.
Therefore, while gaining benefits, the shadow also had to bear the mental impact brought by these lingering and faint Nen. And since Moses and the shadow are one entity, after taking the shadow back, Moses naturally had to bear the mental shock of dozens of faint Nen.
This is also the reason why Moses suddenly fainted.
Luckily, with his increased pain tolerance, before he fainted, he managed to request Lisha to remove him from the center of this incident before passing out.
Two days later.
The fatal incident at the Detana Restaurant became a well-known hot topic in the city.
The Patrick Mafia Family, created by Torlan Patrick, will become a thing of the past due to this significant event.
After the incident, there were those who were happy and those who were sad.
The happy ones are the other gangsters in Spice City, as they are all ready to devour the huge cake left by Torlan.
As for the sad ones, they are remaining gang members of the Patrick Mafia Family, as well as Torlan's family, as they are unable to hold on to their business and can only wait for the storm to come.
While the public's attention seemed to be on who would replace Torlan, Lisha, as a witness to the event, gradually faded from the public eye.
However-
Some things couldn't be kept hidden.
The public in Spice City might not be interested in the incident itself, but the Hunter Association is a different story.
"Ah~~~"
Pyon, a member of the Hunter Association's Twelve Zodiac, squatted in front of the Detana Restaurant's entrance.
With her hands forming a binocular gesture over her eyes, she observed the crisscrossing human-shaped scorch marks on the ground from a close range, then exclaiming in surprise.
"The scorch marks obviously overlapped, but they unexpectedly distinct."
Pyon leaned slightly forward, and the rabbit tail decoration on her lower back swayed playfully as she tilted her buttocks upward.
"Such a spectacle… If it is uploaded to I-Tube, it would definitely capture a large number of clicks after taking advantage of the popularity!"
Thinking of this, Pyon took out her pink phone decorated with bunny ears, excitedly opened the camera, and started recording the crisscrossing human-shaped scorch marks on the ground.
Lisha was just behind Pyon.
Watching Pyon take out her phone to record the scorch marks on the ground, Lisha agreed: "Indeed, I also believe it could garner a lot of clicks."
"Right, right."
Hearing Lisha's words, Pyon recorded even more enthusiastically.
Lisha didn't say anything more, but took out her phone and aimed the camera at Pyon.
She has already learned the relevant information about the 'Swamp Man Phenomenon' from Cheadle, and also knows the reason why Pyon, who is a Zodiac Twelve's member, came to find her in person.
But in a sense, Pyon in her eyes seemed a bit out of place.
Knowing that the confidentiality level of the 'Swamp Man Phenomenon' has been raised to B Rank, Pyon still wanted to record the human-shaped scorch marks to harvest so-called video clicks.
The makeshift shacks around them are not photography studios.
In Lisha's opinion, Pyon's behavior was simply unreasonable.
So, Lisha could only take out her phone, ready to gather evidence in case Pyon's whimsical actions caused any trouble.
"You are so far away and the angle is so bad, how can you take a good picture?"
When Pyon noticed Lisha taking out her phone to capture the scene, she blinked and suggested:
"Come over here. To get a better shot, you need to get the lens closer. That way, you can capture the unique and distinct layers of the scorch marks."
"I'm filming you."
Lisha said expressionlessly.
"Filming me?"
Pyon was startled for a moment, then immediately entered a model state, stood up, and struck a playful and cute pose.
"How's this pose?"
"…"
Lisha was speechless when she saw this.
For some reason, in front of Pyon, she didn't feel like talking.
"You're really boring."
Seeing that Lisha was silent, Pyon didn't go back to filming the numerous human-shaped scorch marks on the ground. Instead, she used her rabbit-ear phone to take a selfie and casually said:
"Even if I upload this video to I-Tube, netizens will only think that it is a video made by Swamp Man's fans out of love. So, subjectively, I may violate the confidentiality regulations, but objectively, I haven't."
"A pale sophistry."
Lizi put away her phone and said calmly.
"Ah… Your stern appearance reminds me of Cheadle."
Pyon shook her head and sighed: "I saw it as soon as I got here. You are the type I least like to be around. If it weren't for me being the closest, I wouldn't want to come all the way over here."
Having said this, Pyon stopped taking selfies and looked at Lisha with a slightly tilted head, then changed the subject:
"Great lawyer, to avoid wasting each other's time, can I have a chat with that handsome little guy?"
"…"
Hearing this, Lisha remained silent and stared straight at Pyon.
With her light pink big eyes slightly narrowed, Pyon picked up her rabbit-ear phone and shook it, smiling ambiguously:
"How should I put it? There is actually no difference between my action of uploading this video and your action of disposing of the restaurant's surveillance data. Besides, I'm curious about what reasons would make such a straight-laced lawyer engage in illegal activities?"
"Sigh…"
Hearing Pyon pushing the situation to this point, Lisha took a long, deep breath. Without explaining herself, she said calmly: "Let's go, I'll take you to see him."
Two days ago, she had no knowledge of the Swamp Man Phenomenon, so it was unlikely that she would have anticipated the Hunter Association's involvement.
So, from the moment she saw Pyon, she knew that her little actions would sooner or later be discovered.
Compared to the economically-focused Spice City, Pyon, who represents the Hunter Association, is the most difficult to deal with, because her mission here is to investigate this matter thoroughly.
Most importantly, she was aware of the enormous threat posed by the Swamp Man Phenomenon, and there is no way she can afford to mess around with it.
At the same time, she thought that even if she rejected Pyon's proposal, it would still be impossible to stop Pyon from wanting to see Moses, so it would be easier to simply agree to it.
"It's so good that you can be so straightforward. At least we won't waste each other's time."
Pyon put away her phone, then, while looking at the dimly lit restaurant, she sighed softly:
"There have been a lot of troubles recently. First, a troublesome growth-type Post-Mortem Nen suddenly appeared, and now, there is an even more exaggerated Swamp Man Phenomenon. It always feels like... there's a storm brewing."
"…"
Hearing Pyon's words, a bead of sweat ran down Lisha's forehead.
