"1. Based on the birth principle of Nen Abilities, only Davidson, the creator of Swamp Man book, can develop such powerful Nen Ability that aligns so well with the content of the book."
"2. Based on the content of the Swamp Man book, the first human being transformed by ability is called Swamp Man, and the humans transformed by Swamp Man are collectively called Swamp People."
"3. Using the first two points as reference, the condition for the transformation of the first Swamp Man is likely related to a signing event held by the author, Davidson. Considering the scale and influence of this ability, the conditions for activating the ability must be strict, at least five or more."
"4. This is just speculation. The conditions for activating the ability are: ① Recognition of the Swamp Man book, ② Recognition of the Swamp Man book's author, Davidson, ③ Obtain a book signed by Davidson, ④ Have physical contact with the author, Davidson, ⑤ After meeting multiple conditions, the ability can only be activated after death. Considering the effect of the ability, the possibility of inducing suicide can be ruled out."
"5. The first Swamp Man born under the activation conditions will transform more Swamp People by causing 'death'."
"6. Same as above, starting from the second Swamp People transformed, they can only increase their numbers by causing 'death', which means personally killing someone."
"7. The transformed Swamp People is equivalent to a data copy, and will retain everything from the original."
"8. The transformation phenomenon of Swamp People has high concealment. If the murderer is used as a reference, it is initially determined that the ability conditions are triggered when no third party is present, starting the process of causing death."
"9. To sum it up, the condition for the Swamp People to spread is to cause death. Taking the Detana restaurant incident as an example, it can be basically concluded that even if the death is not intentionally caused by Swamp People, it can still be used as a condition for activating the ability, and transform those killed into Swamp People."
This is the information and opinions Moses wrote in the notebook.
The majority of the content is related to death, because that is the characteristic of the Swamp Man ability and the opening content of the Swamp Man book.
At the beginning of the book, the protagonist is accidentally struck by lightning while passing through a swamp and dies. The swamp that is struck by lightning becomes a perfect replica of the protagonist.
The story unfolds from this moment, that is…
Death-
Is the beginning of the whole book.
After reading Moses's comprehensive list, Pyon realized that Moses's views and deductions were even more comprehensive than theirs.
'Just after listening to the information I provided, and combining it with his two encounters with Swamp People, he was able to draw so many opinions and inferences in such a short time?'
'This guy... he looks so young.'
'Hey, hey, isn't this completely inconsistent with his appearance?'
'What on earth did he eat to grow up like this?!'
Pyon was shocked in her heart.
Seeing Pyon stopped talking after saying 'you, you, you', Moses opened his mouth, and reminded:
"You don't need to worry about whether the things I listed are useful or not, just help me see if there's things needed to be added."
"…"
Pyon remained silent.
The information obtained by the Association through various actions during this period was not as comprehensive as the content on notebook.
Because of that, she wanted to say that… there shouldn't be a need to add anything.
But in the end, she couldn't bring herself to say it. Trying to maintain some composure, she reluctantly picked up the pen and wrote something on the notebook.
She filled in some of the details for the details listed by Moses, so as not to appear too stupid.
"Here."
After finishing writing, Pyon handed the small pink notebook back to Moses.
Moses took the notebook, lowered his head and started to read it.
After a while…
He looked at Pyon in confusion.
'It seems that there is no new information added...'
Feeling a bit guilty, Pyon pretended to suddenly think of something, then took out her bunny-eared phone, and changed the topic:
"Oh, almost forgot to save your contact number. Kester, what's your number?"
"…"
Moses paused silently, then provided his number.
Hearing this, Pyon dialed the number, waited for Moses's cell phone to ring, and then hung up the phone after confirming it was correct.
"Alright, I've saved it."
After saving the number, Pyon immediately suggested: "The investigation of this case is almost complete. Let's go back to the association directly. As for this place, the local authorities will handle it properly."
"Okay."
Moses didn't say anything more. He took out his phone, checked the call records, and saved Pyon's number in the contact list with the name: Bunny Girl.
After leaving the Deltana Restaurant together, Pyon acted swiftly and booked the next flight to Swardani City.
Thus, Moses informed Lisha of the situation, and sent a message to Cheadle. Then, he and Pyon boarded the airship to Swardani City.
Three days ago, he flew from Swardani City to Spice City. As a result, he encountered two groups of Swamp People on the first day, and even had an encounter with Illumi.
After that, he fainted for two days. As soon as he woke up, he was visited by Pyon, and now, he has to fly back to Swardani City, where the Hunter Association's headquarters is located.
'This is...'
'A bit hard to put into words,' thought Moses.
"Why do you keep staring at me?"
On the airship, Moses noticed Pyon's unusual behavior.
Since boarding the airship, despite keeping her head down and playing with her phone since boarding, she would occasionally glance at him.
This behavior didn't match the profile of someone deeply engrossed in their phone.
"It's nothing. I just think you're quite impressive, well, at least you're much more reliable than a certain guy associated with 'Tiger'."
Pyon was straightforward and directly revealed the reason for staring at Moses.
Moses heard the subtle insult directed at someone from Pyon's words.
As for the guy Pyon mentioned about being linked to Tiger, Moses knew who it was just by casually thinking about it.
"Is there still no news about Davidson from the association?"
Moses didn't respond to Pyon's words, but instead asked this question related to the entire Swamp Man incident.
He was originally thinking that if there were Nen Users with the ability to find people in the Hunter Association, then he might be able to use this Nen User to directly locate Dis, the wanted criminal he wanted to hunt.
"Davidson was last seen a few days ago in Spice City, which was also the last place he was seen. After that, he vanished without a trace."
"The signing events?"
"Yes."
"Sigh… Then this is enough to indicate that... he has realized that he's exposed."
"I have no objections about that."
Pyon put away her phone, sighed softly, and said: "If we could catch Davidson, there wouldn't be so many troublesome matters."
"You seem a bit too optimistic."
Moses adjusted his sitting position and turned his head to look out of the window.
"Eh?"
Pyon looked at Moses's side profile.
Moses said calmly: "If I'm not mistaken, one of the limitations of Swamp Man's ability is that Davidson will most likely be forced to maintain Zetsu state. In addition, can you easily conclude that… killing Davidson will lift the ability?"
"…"
Pyon's eyes narrowed, looking at Moses's side profile with a hint of uncertainty.
That's right…
She hadn't thought that much about it.
She just believed that finding and killing Davidson would be enough.
"Forget about whether killing Davidson can lift the ability or not, and even after the ability is lifted, there's still the possibility that the already transformed Swamp People will die too. The most critical issue is, with Davidson's type of personality..."
Moses slowly revealed a more terrifying speculation.
"…There is a high probability that he will leave behind his Nen after death. This Post-Mortem Nen, strengthened by death, is likely the real disaster."
"…"
Pyon fell silent upon hearing this.
'This guy…'
"Kester, are you really only thirteen years old?"
"?"
