"I'm hungry."
Moses's brainstorming only lasted for a while before it was interrupted by a strong hunger in his stomach.
After all, he had slept for two days without any food or water.
Putting the Replica Nen Box away, Moses got up and left the room, heading to the living room.
Moses glanced at the living room, and saw that there was only a single sofa and a low table, with no other furniture or decorations.
The overall style is terrifyingly as if it were a recently renovated house.
"Is this Sister Lisha's house? It doesn't look like it."
Moses's gaze moved from the single-person sofa and shifted to the kitchen.
Fortunately, there were quite a few instant foods like cup noodles stocked in the kitchen.
Moses boiled some water, then brought out a bunch of cup noodles and placed them on the dining table outside the kitchen.
After a while, the unique aroma of instant noodles filled the house
Moses was really hungry, so he took out all the instant noodles and put them in a bowl, then began to devour them eagerly.
Halfway through his meal, the sound of unlocking came from the front door.
Hearing the noise, Moses thought it was just Lisha returning, so he didn't pay much attention and continued to eat his noodles.
The next moment, the door was opened.
"Wow, this property isn't under your name, and there's no related lease agreement. If we want to investigate, it will take some effort. Great lawyer, could this property be a gift from some wealthy employer of yours?"
An unfamiliar female voice sounded at the entrance.
Moses immediately stopped eating, and then heard Lisha's voice again.
"Rabbit, if you don't want to waste time, stop with the sarcastic remarks."
"I'm just kidding. Hey, wow, the smell of these instant noodles is so strong."
Pyon walked ahead, chatting with Lisha while playing with her phone.
After passing the entrance hall, Pyon held her phone up in front of her face, swiftly pressing the keys, and at the same time, glanced at the table where Moses was sitting able.
A faint gleam flashed in her light pink eyes.
This young man is exactly her target for this trip.
Moses also looked at Pyon.
'The cool bunny girl dress style with bare shoulders and legs, combined with the fact that Sister Lisha just called her Rabbit, even without thinking too much, her identity is obvious.'
'Pyon the Rabbit, a member of the Twelve Zodiac and also Paleograph Hunter.'
'Being approached by a Hunter so soon...'
'It seems that the Hunter Association has already started dealing with the Swamp Man incident.'
Moses calmly looked at Pyon.
'Just from the way Sister Lisha called Pyon 'Rabbit' and the tone she used when she spoke to her, it could be inferred that their relationship was not particularly close.'
'From this, a basic conclusion could be drawn.'
'Pyon was not brought back by Sister Lisha as a friend. It is more likely that she came on behalf of the Hunter Association.'
In just one or two seconds, Moses deduced the reason and prepared himself for the possibility of being discovered.
The worst-case scenario would be his actions in the restaurant was exposed to the Hunter Association.
How would he explain the phenomenon of absorbing the dark viscous substance?
In fact, it's not difficult.
'Although I am not a Nen Exorcist... I can easily use the concept of exorcism as a cover.'
With his thoughts organized, Moses had already found an excuse in his mind in advance.
Most of Pyon's attention was on her mobile phone, but that didn't stop her from sizing up Moses.
She walked over and sat directly across from Moses.
Moses glanced at Pyon, who was still glued to her phone, and ignored her, focusing on eating his noodles.
Pyon, indifferent to Moses's disregard, kept her attention on her phone, tapping the keys faster and faster.
At this moment, Lisha who had closed the door, walked over and immediately saw Moses eating noodles.
"Kester, you're awake."
With Pyon present, she addressed Moses by the name on the fake ID card.
"Stop eating those, I'll order something for you."
Lisha quickly came to the dining table and reaching out to stop Moses's chopsticks.
She usually eats instant food, but she wasn't going to let Moses touch these.
"Sister Lisha, it's fine."
Moses gently pushed Lisha's hand away, paying no mind to the presence of an outsider. Like a starving ghost reincarnated, he continued to devour the noodles unceremoniously.
Helpless, Lisha could only watch Moses gobble his meal.
She knew that Moses had been sleeping for two days and must be starving now.
Hearing the sound of Moses slurping the noodles, Pyon's attention was pulled away from her phone for the first time, turning to Moses.
The unrestrained way he ate made Pyon subconsciously swallow her saliva.
'My God, can instant noodles really be eaten so deliciously?'
Watching Moses, Pyon suddenly had the urge to take out her phone and shoot a video.
Not for the dull reason of gaining clicks, but starting from the perspective of true goodness and beauty, wanting to use the video to help those netizens with anorexia.
But she still restrained herself.
After Moses finally finished eating the instant noodles in the basin, Pyon, who usually spent the majority of her time on her phone, adhering to the principle of never wasting time, got straight to the point.
She even skipped the step of self-introduction.
"I have watched the live video of the incident at Detana Restaurant. The situation at that time was really thrilling."
When talking about business, Pyon still had no intention of putting away her phone. She looked directly at Moses and said seriously:
"Halfway through, I had already concluded that both of you were dead. After all, the opponent's strength was obviously superior, and the tactics they used left you with no room to maneuver. Yet, in no time, you turned the tables."
"…"
Moses, facing Pyon's unabashedly probing gaze, quietly took out two tissues and wiped some of the soup stains on the corners of his mouth without changing his expression.
'Sure enough, I still couldn't escape.'
At the dining table, Lisha, hearing Pyon's words, couldn't help but frown slightly. She turned to look at Moses, with an expression that contained some apology.
Clearly, even though Lisha promised to take care of Moses's request, she failed to clean up all the traces.
Moses noticed Lisha's apologetic look, but didn't have any hint of blame in his heart.
Leaving aside the involvement of the Hunters Association…
At the end of the day—
The battle that night could have been avoided.
But in terms of results, Moses gained a lot.
If given a second chance, even if Lisha could simply avoid the fight and leave the restaurant, Moses would still take the risk to participate in the battle for the sake of the reward.
