In this world, there are only a few Nen Users.
But Nen Abilities come in many types and are all kinds of strange.
Among them, Nen Abilities related to searching for people are very rare.
In the original work, notable examples of someone with person-finding Nen Ability is Kalluto, the youngest child of Zoldyck Family.
Another significant ability is possessed by Palm Siberia, referred to by Knov as a precious source of ability. Her ability, Merman Clairvoyance, can map the location of a target at a relatively small cost, but it has the drawback of having a limited visual range.
Compared to this, Kalluto's person-finding ability is superior, as he can accurately locate the elusive top leaders of criminal organizations like Ten Dons on a global scale.
But judging from the current point of time, these two types of searching abilities have not yet been awakened yet.
If the Hunter Association wants to find Davidson's location, they can only use similar tracing capabilities.
And in such an extraordinary period, Ging, who has the identity of the Zodiacs' member but is always absent from meetings, actually takes the initiative to assist the Hunter Association.
"The Swamp Man's ability actually become a reality..."
"I'm very interested, but unfortunately…"
"After me and my team worked tirelessly, we finally obtained the excavation rights for the ruins from the Gossas period. However, the authorities only gave us ten days for excavation."
"I don't want to miss this opportunity."
"Also, this thing should be able to help you."
This is a letter sent by Ging to the Hunters Association.
The envelope also contains a small bird, only the size of a palm, and a blank piece of paper.
The bird's entire body is fiery red, with a small and delicate gear stuck on its head.
Its lifelike appearance made it seems to belong to the Nen Beast category, but it is actually an exquisite puppet.
"Call it Little Red."
The Sheep, Ginta looked at the usage instructions on the letter, which specifically mentioned the name of the flaming red gear bird.
On the side, the Snake, Gel glanced at the bird, which was as motionless as a sculpture, and complained: "What a terrible name."
"Are you all idiots? Why are you still arguing about the name at this time? Can't you quickly verify the function of that bird?"
The Monkey, Saiyu spoke recklessly like usual, using all kinds of vulgar language.
Ginta didn't care about Saiyu's nasty words. Instead, it was Gel who looked at Saiyu coldly, with eyes that seemed to contain a deadly poison.
The other members of the Zodiac Twelve present ignored verbal sparring between Gel and Saiyu. They all looked at Cheadle, who was holding the bird in her hand.
"It can only be used once and will dissipate on its own after finding the target."
Cheadle explained the characteristics of the gear bird, then picked up the accompanying piece of paper.
The information about Davidson like the name, date of birth, age and the others, as well as a sketch of the person's head, had been written on it.
"After the ability is activated, the Aura needs to be replenished from time to time based on the distance and time it takes to find the target, serving as the fuel to drive Little Red."
While further explaining, Cheadle's palm holding the letter glowed with bright Nen.
The letter wrapped in the Nen suddenly turned into a wisp of red flame and flew into the Little Red's body on Cheadle's other palm.
Creak…
The gear on Little Red's head slowly spun, making a slight sound. A tiny flame appeared in its pair of black bean-like eyes.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Little Red flapped her wings and flew away from Cheadle's hand, flying in a certain direction.
"Let's go."
Chiduo looked serious.
'If we could use the ability of this seemingly Nen Tool to find Davidson, it would be the best outcome at the moment.'
…
In an unexplored and unregulated mysterious domain, the terrain is predominantly hilly with a perpetual mist lingering.
The Seirin Group's base is located in the 'belly' of one of the peaks.
This base was originally a relic from thousands of years ago.
After Seirin Group discovered it, they decided to make simple modifications and turn it into their base.
However, most of the structures inside the relic were preserved, and various modern equipment and instruments were added to the nearby cave space.
Soft lighting fills the entire cave.
At a position near the cave wall, there is a chair with armrests.
An elderly person with a frail figure and an aged appearance is seated in the chair. The old man wears a breathing mask on his face, and numerous lines extend from the instruments beside the chair, connecting to his withered body.
Hiss—
Every ten seconds, the mask on the old man's face would release a long stream of white gas, creating an unusual breathing phenomenon.
"Chairman, the Hunter Association has begun to take action."
A mature woman draped in a black veil approaches the old man, but her voice was as rough as a man's when she spoke.
This person is Geng, a member of the Ten Heavenly Stems of the Seirin Group, representing 'replacement'.
The previous lunatic Diego, who found Davidson with the help of his Nen Beast and willingly became a Swamp People despite the risk of death, represented 'death'.
At present, there are only eight members of the Seirin Group's Ten Heavenly Stems left.
Because Sivir, which represented 'strong', and Ken, which represented 'bent', who went after the 'King's Libra', have both disappeared in the powerful Nen Space.
Although the fate of Ken and Sivir is uncertain, the Seirin Group simply assumed the two are dead.
On the chair, the old man's eyes slowly move, looking at the mature woman.
Hiss—
Streams of white gas spew from the sides of the mask.
Then, the old man nodded slowly.
"Kill."
Just one word, but it resonates with strength, sounding nothing like a voice that could come from this elderly body.
The mature woman, Geng, nods in response, then turns around and swiftly departs.
The Swamp Man Ability, created by Davidson, has given their Seirin Group a golden opportunity.
Not only can they discreetly infiltrate this ability into the upper echelons of various countries, they can also use Davidson as bait to set a trap, waiting for the Hunter Association to fall into it willingly.
There is no doubt that…
The initiative lies in the hands of their Seirin Group.
The reason being-
Their Seirin Group does not need to worry about Davidson's life and death. Instead, they eagerly anticipate the 'death' of Davidson with the utmost intensity.
While the Hunter Association has to worry about the issue of 'how to revoke the Swamp Man ability'. On such premise, they would undoubtedly prefer to control the 'live' Davidson, rather than the already deceased one.
Post-Mortem Nen.
This is a phenomenon and existence that has a probability of happening, but it is significant enough to permeate the cognition of every Nen User.
In the original work's Chimera Ant Arc,
When Gon and the others were attacking the Chimera Ant's palace, the moment when Zeno's Dragon Dive fell towards the palace…
The Chimera Ant, Meleoron used his God's Accomplice ability to make himself and Knuckle invisible...
If Meleoron and Knuckle in this invisible state were pierced and killed by Zeno's Dragon Dive, there was a possibility that, due to the phenomenon of Post-Mortem Nen, their bodies would perpetually remain invisible.
At that time, Gon immediately considered this point.
This is the knowledge about Post-Mortem Nen.
Most of the time, it may be overlooked, but in some instances, it becomes an inherent variable that cannot be ignored.
…
Five days pass in the blink of an eye.
Moses moved along the planned route to the border.
Along the way, in villages, cities, and even desolate mountain paths, Moses hunted down numerous escaped Swamp People prisoners from the Fox River Prison.
422/600.
There is still a one-third gap from reaching the goal.
But Moses already senses the upper limit of the shadow clone clearly.
