"Diamond Finger and Iron Shirt have barely entered the door... but they only gave me a Fighter rating, and didn't even add the words 'Martial Arts'..."
Turning off the screen, Oboro stretched his shoulders and murmured.
Counting the time... the Royal Glam Gas Land show is coming up soon.
Less than a month away.
That is to say... the time he can stay in the circus is not long. Where to go next?
"Hisoka..."
After a simple cleanup, Oboro returned to the base camp.
Recently, his situation in the circus has also been very bad... Because Hisoka is increasingly relied upon by the leader Nio, everyone hates him even more.
And because he is too close to Hisoka, the members who were initially more caring for Oboro have also begun to deliberately alienate him, and he doesn't see any good faces on weekdays.
It can be said that... if he continues to hang out with Hisoka, he will be reduced to the same treatment as the latter.
Although, for Oboro, these insignificant small fries don't need to be taken to heart, but... being classified with Hisoka always makes Oboro uncomfortable.
"If it weren't for practicing Nen... I would have dumped that psychopath long ago!"
Oboro clicked his tongue.
Prying open the door to Nen lies with the leader Moritonio.
And the leader values Hisoka... very much.
...
At noon, the leader took the three of them to the city center of Glam Gas Land to purchase supplies.
Recently, the girl Abaki, Hisoka, and Oboro have been getting closer... and occasionally chat a few words.
Oboro can see that Abaki's change should be related to the leader's guidance.
The streets were crowded with people, all kinds of shops and vendors, very lively.
Some architectural styles are very similar to the European-style houses that Oboro is familiar with.
"It's Hundred-Faced John Doe, this criminal is very famous recently..."
"The serial killer who has made the Yorbian Continent panic!"
As they were walking, they suddenly saw a large group of people gathered in front, pointing and discussing at several portraits posted on the wall.
They approached and stopped.
"This is..."
Abaki, standing outside the crowd, glanced at it a few times.
"A notice from the government and some official organizations."
"I heard that this guy's modus operandi is extremely bloody, the victims are all tragic, all crushed to death, and the bodies are flattened."
The whispers of others came to his ears.
The wanted portrait on the wall depicts a big man with dull eyes and a blank face.
Oboro's peripheral vision, intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at Moritonio, the seemingly kind-hearted leader beside him...
Apart from him, probably no one knows now that the serial killer they are talking about is close at hand!
"Hundred-Faced, I seem to have heard of it..."
Abaki's curiosity was piqued, and she looked at the three of them, John Doe, this name is very common in various places... Sometimes it also refers to fictional characters.
There are many victims killed by him, and it can be judged from the appearance of the corpses and the modus operandi that it was done by the same person.
However... there are reports that the images of the murderer captured by the camera are different in their backs and body shapes each time...
It seems that this person will have an extra face each time he commits a crime, so he got this nickname.
"How do you know?"
Hisoka asked with a smile.
"Several areas we visited before had wanted posters and leaflets of this criminal..."
Abaki replied honestly.
"Heh."
Hisoka curled the corners of his mouth.
Oboro glanced at Hisoka, knowing that this guy had noticed the problem.
"Some people say that this Doe is a makeup expert, and deliberately gets caught by the camera to show off his skills..."
Abaki added, "I didn't expect it... to have spread here."
Moritonio reached out and pinched the brim of his hat, urging, "This person... is probably a neurotic trying to attract attention..."
Then, the four walked away slowly.
"It seems that this place is not very safe either... Don't go out at night recently, no loitering." Moritonio said.
"Yes."
...
Hundred-Faced!
The reason why Moritonio's appearance changes every time he kills is his Nen ability...
Oboro couldn't understand... Why would the old man, as a Nen user, kill people...
If he is pursuing excitement, challenging the strong is undoubtedly a better way to satisfy himself, right?
At worst, he could hunt down targets who are also Nen users... Killing ordinary people like this is really degrading.
Does he want to experience the pleasure of abuse, or is he trying to provoke the authority of the government?
Or, was it that he participated in the Hunter Exam back then and Ging Freecss left a psychological shadow, causing the whole person to become twisted?
In the evening, it was time for dinner.
The troupe members left early, leaving only Hisoka and Oboro to eat.
It was obviously intentional, isolating the two kids.
"Thanks to you, I'm also being ostracized..."
Oboro said expressionlessly, eating a large bowl of food.
He has a big appetite recently, an amazing appetite.
"Isn't this what you want... No one will find out your secret..." Hisoka said with a fork in his mouth, his eyes cunningly smiling, "Speaking of which... have you been secretly playing any new tricks behind my back recently... I feel like you've become a lot stronger..."
A vein popped out on Oboro's forehead: "Is it related to you?"
"Of course it's related, you're my only friend in the troupe."
"It's a colleague!"
Oboro corrected coldly.
"Okay, okay... colleague."
"You two, come over after dinner."
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Abaki walked in, instructing.
"Okay."
Oboro's heart skipped a beat.
It's coming!
He had a hunch that Moritonio was going to teach the two of them to practice Nen!
He finally waited for this day!
However, Oboro was a little uneasy... He knew that Hisoka would definitely learn it, as for him... to be honest, he wasn't very confident in his talent.
It's just that with the system... he firmly believes that he can become a Nen user. If he doesn't have the talent, it may take a very long time.
Not everyone can develop Nen... At least, in the entire circus, only Abaki has succeeded.
There are roughly three ways to open Nen.
The first is to work hard to cultivate on your own, open the aura nodes under the guidance of a teacher, and gradually grow through the four major principles of Nen.
The second is to have a Nen user pour Nen into the body to stimulate it and forcibly open the aura nodes... a relatively dangerous method.
And the last one is to explore on your own.
Those who develop Nen on their own without anyone's guidance are all gifted existences... belonging to monsters, and there are very few of them.
After laying the foundation of his physical body, Oboro has not tried to sense the 'energy in his body' and try to awaken Nen... but he has not succeeded!
For Oboro, he doesn't need any teacher at all, because his understanding of Nen far exceeds everyone.
He has all the theories and related knowledge of 'Nen'.
This is the inherent benefit of a transmigrator!
His brain is stocked with all the powerful Nen users in the current world, their development, application, understanding, and skill of Nen, and he even knows all the settings of the power system for 'Nen'.
In terms of Nen alone, in terms of academic attainments, Oboro believes... that no one can compare to him.
There's no way... he has the old man's buff blessing.
But... books are books, and whether they can be used in reality is another matter... At least for now, he can't awaken Nen on his own...
After quickly finishing his meal, Oboro ignored Hisoka and left directly.
"Hmm?"
Hisoka was a little surprised, he rarely saw Oboro in such a hurry.
"Is something interesting about to happen..."
In the rehearsal hall, Moritonio was already waiting for Hisoka and Oboro in the corner.
Seeing the two of them appear, the leader waved.
Hisoka and Nio sat together, while Oboro stood.
"The people in the troupe are afraid of Hisoka stealing their skills, so the number of members practicing secretly has increased..." Moritonio smiled slightly.
Under normal circumstances, after a long day, the members would return to the dormitory to rest after eating.
