Before they set off, Knov condensed his Aura at his fingertip, and conjured a drop of ink-like liquid.
When the black liquid hit the ground, it instantly transformed into a circular black hole.
[Hide and Seek]
This was Knov's Emission-Type Ability, which allowed him to create entrances and exits to a Nen Space at any location he had been to.
There are twenty-one independent rooms in the Nen Space called the Fourth-Dimensional Mansion. In terms of convenience and practicality, it was a true embodiment of the essence of Space-Type Nen Abilities.
Knov set up an entrance to the apartment on the spot, then extended his hand to Morel, who was closest to him.
Seeing this, Morel handed over his pipe and phone.
Knov took the pipe and the phone, then tossed them into the black hole, and then looked at Netero.
Netero also took out his phone and handed it to Knov.
This was part of NGL's entry requirements. Even the Hunter Associations, with its many privileges, must adapt to local customs and abide by the regulations of some countries.
And Knov can use his Nen Ability to secretly bring communication devices into this country.
After tossing Netero's phone into the Four-Dimensional Apartment, Knov finally looked at Moses and asked, "Do I need to explain why we're doing this?"
"No need."
Moses shook his head, but he made no move to take out his phone.
Seeing that Moses didn't take out his phone, Knov raised an eyebrow and held out his hand, "Your phone."
"No need. I have my own."
Moses refused, then, under the surprised gazes of Knov, Morel, and Netero, he raised his hand and channeled his Aura, condensing a drop of black liquid.
This preparatory action was almost identical to what Knov had done when using his ability just now.
As the black liquid fell to the ground and transformed into a circular black hole, Moses took out his phone and tossed it inside.
The phone silently passed through the black hole.
When Knov, who was squatting beside the entrance of his Nen Space, saw this scene, he suddenly stood up, and a look of shock quickly appeared on his face.
"You…?!"
His eyes behind the glasses suddenly widened and he stared at Moses in disbelief.
Even Netero and Morel looked shocked.
Moses calmly closed the Shadow World's passage and deactivated his ability.
Since he was now part of the Chimera Ant's extermination team, it was inevitable that his teammates would learn about each other's Nen Abilities.
With this in mind, Moses didn't mind revealing his Shadow World to Netero and the others in advance.
"Hoho, this ability... is it possible that you developed it specifically for going 'there'?"
Netero asked curiously.
Moses didn't hide it and nodded: "Yes, its practicality is similar to a shelter. Without it, I wouldn't dare to casually go to such a place."
"You little brat..."
Netero wanted to say more, but ultimately shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about breaking taboos for now. The current mission takes priority."
"What taboo?"
Moses pretended to be puzzled and said, "We live in a society governed by the rule of law. Evidence is required."
"…"
Netero wasn't in the mood to banter with Moses and simply pretended not to hear him. He then walked toward the NGL border checkpoint not far away.
Meanwhile, Knov and Morel, who are still standing in place, looked at Moses in surprise and doubt.
Especially Knov, as he wanted to ask something but felt it might be too abrupt.
Moses glanced at Knov, who couldn't hide his shock, and decided not to explain further here, as they would exchange information about their abilities once inside NGL.
"Killua."
Before leaving, Moses turned to Killua.
"Huh?"
Killua met Moses's gaze.
Moses smiled and said, "If you can seize the opportunity, I'll give you a little gift. And I can guarantee you'll really like this little gift."
Killua stared at Moses for a moment, then nodded firmly.
From the moment Moses descended from the sky, the shadow in his heart had already lightened considerably.
Soon-
The Chimera Ant's extermination team, led by Netero, passed through the checkpoint and entered NGL.
"No time to waste. Let's move."
As soon as they stepped into NGL, Netero threw out a sentence and then dashed toward the distant rocky forest.
In the blink of an eye, he turned into a small dot in the distance.
Seeing this, Moses flicked his finger and used his Super Speed Ability to shoot a shadow sphere toward the direction Netero had gone to.
Whoosh-
The small and delicate shadow sphere cut through the air like a sniper bullet and arrived next to Netero in the blink of an eye.
Moses seized the opportunity to use Shadow Shift and appeared next to Netero in an instant. Then, he ran alongside Netero.
"???"
In that brief moment, Morel and Knov were left staring at each other in confusion.
'Is that the ability he used to get here?! Multiple Nen Abilities?!'
Knov watched as Moses and Netero disappeared into the distance, and his heart was shocked.
If this elite member of the Hunter Association knew that Moses had at least three more Nen Abilities, one could only imagine his reaction.
"Knov, stop spacing out. They're already out of sight."
Morel called out Knov, then gritted his teeth and began sprinting to catch up with Netero and Moses.
.....
Ant Nest.
Pitou sat on the ground, gazing at Kite, who was frozen in a block of ice, with an unsatisfied look.
Just moments ago, this first-born Royal Guard had developed her own unique Nen Ability.
And the birth of this ability was closely tied to Kite.
"Earlier, I heard you mention... three special humans who escaped. They still haven't been found?"
Pitou stared intently at Kite in the ice, her tail swaying back and forth.
She was speaking to Rammot, who stood behind her.
Upon hearing this, Rammot quickly replied:
"Yes, Neferpitou-sama. According to reports from various squads, there's still no trace of those three special humans. But it's certain they haven't escaped the encirclement."
"Is that so, meow..."
Pitou tilted her head slightly, showing a bit of interest in the three escaped special humans.
However, as she was tasked with guarding the Queen, she couldn't leave the nest at will, except to repel enemies.
"If we can further narrow down the general area where the special humans are hiding, we can decide or judge whether action is necessary based on the situation. After all, special humans, as food, have nutritional value thousands of times greater than ordinary food. They could aid in the birth of the King."
A gentle, refined male voice suddenly came from the shadows nearby.
Pitou turned her head curiously and looked towards the direction where the voice came from.
Under her gaze, a tall, slender figure emerged from the shadows.
"Based on what I just said, your idea of going out to hunt has merit."
"Meow?"
Pitou asked curiously, "Did I say anything out loud?"
"No."
The tall figure replied calmly: "It's just that you wrote your 'thoughts' all over your face."
"Oh."
Pitou nodded in understanding, then began examining the tall figure.
The other party had short golden hair, a handsome face, and was dressed in a white shirt, black pants, and a black cape, which is a clear aristocratic style.
In every aspect, this individual's appearance was almost indistinguishable from a human.
From this, it can see that the human genes mixed in his body are probably more dominant than those of other species.
Pitou stopped scrutinizing him and asked, "By the way, who are you?"
"I am Shaiapouf, one of the Queen's Royal Guards."
In response to Pitou's question, Pouf, who had just been born, formally introduced himself.
Hearing this, Pitou nodded and said, "I see, meow. No wonder your 'life force' is so intense too."
"How strong are the special humans?"
Pouf's gaze shifted to Kite, who was frozen in the ice.
Pitou thought for a moment, then replied, "It's just so-so, but they're fun. And they 'taught' me a lot, meow."
"So-so, huh..."
Pouf raised his slender white index finger slightly and placed it on his chin. He then whispered to himself thoughtfully: "Menthuthuyoupi will awaken soon too. So, it's not impossible..."
"What are you talking about?"
Pitou tilted her head slightly, looking at Pouf with curiosity.
Pouf raised his eyes slightly and said calmly: "The level of protection is sufficient."
"Meow?"
"What I mean is, those three special humans are worth your time, both in terms of supply value and intelligence value."
"That's your opinion, not Her Majesty the Queen's."
Pitou shook her head slightly.
Pouf lowered his hand and said indifferently: "Her Majesty's focus is entirely on the King. As for other matters, her exact words were, 'Do as you please'. So, the decision is in our hands."
"Meow…"
Pitou seemed somewhat tempted when she heard this.
'With the alert skills I just learned, I should be able to quickly find the whereabouts of those three special humans, right?'
