For the members of the Seirin Group who underwent memory alteration, their memories are still stuck in the moment before being incorporated into the Nen Space by the Eye of Sight.
The next moment, they saw Diego's body, whose neck has been twisted by some unknown force.
Due to the lack of crucial information, they have no idea what has happened.
While feeling frightened and uneasy, there seemed to be a vague and terrifying face in their minds reminding them of something.
'What happened?'
'Why did Diego-sama suddenly die?'
'Why are we here?'
'Why is there no Nen in my body?'
One doubt after another plunged everyone from the Seirin Group into unsolvable confusion.
Being in Swardani City, the Potential Aura in their body has been exhausted, and there are no teammates who can support them.
The inevitable outcome awaiting them is clear.
On the other side.
Hunters Association's Headquarters.
On the way to find Cheadle and Sanbica, Moses took out his phone and prepared to contact them first to confirm the current situation.
Ring ring—
The phone he just took out rang with the sound of an incoming call.
Moses looked at it and saw that it was a call from Cheadle, and immediately pressed the answer button.
"The main entrance, hurry."
As soon as the call was connected, Cheadle's voice came through the phone.
"Got it."
Hearing the urgency in Cheadle's words, Moses didn't waste any time and directly agreed.
Then, the call ended.
Moses put down his phone, pondered for a moment, then sent a text message to Sanbica asking about her current situation, and immediately changed direction and headed for the elevator.
'Judging from Cheadle's tone on the phone and the meeting place given, it seems they are preparing to hunt down the members of the Seirin Group who were attacking the Swardani City.'
'It seems that Netero started arranging the matters as soon as he returned to the real world.'
'His reaction was so swift that it made my reminder to Pyon earlier seem somewhat unnecessary.'
A moment later…
Moses reached the elevator and headed straight to the first floor.
On the way down, he received a reply from Sanbica.
'I'm okay, but I can't remember what happened.'
This is roughly Sanbica's reply.
'Memory alteration...'
Moses silently pondered.
'Unable to remember what happened.'
'This is obviously the most common memory modification phenomenon in Manipulation-Type Nen Ability.'
'And the Nen Space created by that bronze eye is, in a sense, aimed at the manipulation of mental consciousness.'
'But my memories haven't been altered, neither have Pyon's.'
With Sanbica's situation as a reference, Moses quickly came to a conclusion.
'Those who are in the Nen Space, if they haven't experienced death before returning, can retain all memories within the Nen Space, otherwise, they will suffer from memory alteration.'
'But as long as the body and mind are unharmed, it will be fine.'
Moses felt a little relieved at this.
After a while…
The elevator reached the first floor.
Ding-
The elevator door opens.
Moses stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the direction of the main entrance.
Just after he walked a certain distance, there was a mud-like black substance in the distance sliding towards him along the shiny floor tiles.
"Hmm?"
The moment Moses noticed it, he reflexively used Ken.
With the help of Ten, the Nen spurting out from his Aura Nodes turned into a layer of solid and hard transparent armor, which stuck tightly to Moses's body.
Immediately afterwards, Moses focused his gaze on the black mud-like substance sliding towards him, and his eyebrows slightly raised.
Having hunted so many Swamp People, he naturally recognized the origin of this substance at a glance, which reminded him of that somewhat crazy member of the Seirin Group.
'It really succeeded?'
Staring at the black mud-like substance, Moses was slightly surprised.
He hadn't expected much, but he actually managed to transfer the 'substantial damage' at the last moment.
Soon, Moses silently watched the black mud-like substance come to his shadow
As the black mud-like substance arrived, Moses's ordinary shadow suddenly turned into a black hole, unexpectedly absorbing all of the black mud-like substance in an instant.
In just a moment, the black mud-like substance, which had come from who knows where, disappeared without a trace.
At the same time.
Moses's pupils shrank, and he felt as if his body was about to be torn apart, with severe pain coming from everywhere.
Hiss—
The surface of the skin all over his body was cracked with red bloodstains, and little bits of blood slowly seeping out from the wounds.
Moses grunted and furrowed his brows tightly, enduring this sudden intense pain.
He is already very familiar with this kind of pain.
He also realized that the shadow clone, which had already reached the absorption limit, had once again got its strength forcibly increased through absorbing this pile of sludge created from Nen User Swamp People.
But what followed was the pain Moses was suffering.
It's still that principle...
The space that a container can hold is limited.
Once the capacity of the container is exceeded, there is a high probability that the container will crack and then break.
Moses is in that situation now.
With numerous fine bloodstains appearing on his body, he looked like a container with cracks on the surface.
The intense pain coming from all over his body lasted for about five minutes before disappearing.
Moses, leaning against the wall, slowly let out a sigh of relief.
At this time, he was covered in cold sweat, with blood stains all over his body.
"It's completely reached its limit…"
Moses raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face, becoming more alert.
If the shadow clone is allowed to absorb the Swamp People again, his body might burst directly.
He knew that if he encounters such a situation again next time, he must suppress the thought and not have any trace of wishful thinking.
'With the current strength, conjuring two shouldn't be a problem.'
Moses glanced at the shadow beside his feet.
Two shadow clones, with higher strength than the main body.
In the future, who knows, maybe he might be able to use the thousand layered tactic or something, which can keep the enemy in the dark until the end of the battle.
'This unexpected incident...'
'Really gave me unexpected harvests.'
With these thoughts in mind, Moses strode towards the direction of the main entrance.
A short while later…
Moses walked out of the main entrance and immediately saw Cheadle and Kanzai, as well as a car parked in front of them.
Cheadle looked over and, upon seeing Moses's blood-stained appearance, her expression changed, and she quickly walked over.
She came to Moses, her gaze quickly scanning the fine blood stains on Moses's exposed skin, and she asked somewhat anxiously: "What happened? Is it the cost of exorcising Nen?"
"…"
Moses didn't know how to answer for a moment.
'Should I use 'the cost of exorcising Nen' as a simple and crude explanation?'
'But I'm really not a Nen Exorcist...'
Kanzai, who was behind, also saw Moses's condition.
It's just that, for some reason, after seeing Moses, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of unease, and he had an instinctive feeling of wanting to stay away from Moses.
'What's going on?'
'And what does Cheadle mean by 'the cost of exorcising Nen'?
Kanzai looked confused.
He was brought here directly by Cheadle, and still didn't know what was going on.
