During the baseball game, Gian treated Nobita like a stone, standing in front of him and unzipping his pants...
Yes, he urinated on Nobita, frightening him away.
In the end, Nobita wanted Doraemon's help to get his hat back, but Doraemon accidentally knocked him over instead.
Doraemon didn't even react as if he'd hit something.
This shows the effectiveness of the [Stone Hat], which far exceeds people's expectations.
After Morin fell from the magma, he continued to dive deeper.
He swam for an unknown amount of time until he vaguely saw the outline of a building.
Yet, what first caught Morin's eye wasn't the building itself, but rather...
"Whoosh!!"
Two fiery red breaths spewed from the nostrils of a massive creature beside the structure.
It was a giant fish with a long tail, resembling a snake at the back but a fish at the front.
Moreover, its belly was lined with numerous terrifying claws, tearing and swaying.
In terms of appearance, calling it a snakefish might barely fit.
If one were to observe its appearance alone, it looked more like the King of the Swamp that Gon fished out on Whale Island.
Or rather, an upgraded version of the Swamp King, the Lava King or Magma King.
It swam around the buildings below, seemingly guarding the base beneath.
With a fierce face and a menacing gaze, it looked at everything with malice.
Even the vague silhouettes of people in the base didn't seem to concern it.
This should be another defensive pet kept by the Navigation Bereau to guard against intruders.
After all, the Zoldyck family has Mike as a guard dog and the Spotted Flying Dragon as a transport tool.
There's no reason the higher-spec Navigation Bereau wouldn't have a corresponding guardian pet.
But speaking of which, being hidden under the magma, with Nen covering the magma, it was hard enough to find the place, avoid the Nen, and prevent the magma to get here.
And then encountering this giant snakefish...
Imagine the psychological shadow cast on those intruders.
It's a wonder they don't collapse!!
This also shows the strictness of the Navigation Bereau and the difficulty in finding its location, even more challenging than Tang Sanzang's journey to the West.
The secrets it holds are indeed extraordinarily important!!
"Since the location is found, next time I can use the [Space Displacer] and [Warp Space Pen] to come directly here, saving me another trip."
Morin ignored the snakefish swimming leisurely and comfortably in the magma.
With a swift movement, he landed on the cluster of buildings below.
Although called a cluster, there were only two towering structures, appearing pitch black and crimson, extremely conspicuous.
The buildings on both sides looked almost symmetrical, identical, like twin towers.
Each tower occupied a large area, combining black and crimson, giving a cold feeling as if standing in a wasteland, amidst a blood-soaked land.
Hidden within the scorching surface magma was a rather cold building, forming a stark contrast.
Morin casually chose the left tower and descended toward it.
As he approached, he felt himself entering a layer of membrane.
With a "whoosh," Morin's body entered a space that isolated the magma.
Naturally, the people of the Navigation Bereau couldn't live in magma; there must be an independent space inside.
After Morin entered, he felt a wave of Nen scan over him.
Several rounds of inspection, truly like an impregnable fortress.
After landing, the space before him was entirely different from the outside.
Simply put, it resembled a combination of various laboratories from Marvel movies and the mansions of wealthy individuals.
"Quite a few people, huh?"
After reaching the ground, Morin casually glanced around.
He was at the entrance of the tower, where many people with hurried footsteps and serious expressions walked in and out.
Their attire was quite casual, with some even holding a piece of bread in their mouth, with sleep in their eyes, looking weary as they exited the rooms.
Yes, being at the bottom of the magma, almost isolated from the world, maintaining the outside's business attire isn't realistic.
Morin followed a man who looked authoritative, with a strong presence, and an intimidating demeanor, into the building.
This man was clearly a high-level leader, able to access upper-level information.
If V5 planned to bring the Chimera Ants here, preparations should already be underway.
In fact, preparations might be complete, and implementation could be in progress.
Regarding Chairman Netero's commission, Morin casually copied some key documents from here and recorded their conversations to complete the task.
Stepping through the entrance into the building, the interior was a different scene.
The walls had a distinct sci-fi starry texture, offering an excellent visual experience.
The corridors seemed to traverse the universe, stirring boundless heroic spirit within.
"Such an environment seems specifically designed by a Nen user, with Nen attached to inspire the staff's morale at the Navigation Bereau.
Yes, V5 truly put effort into this for their staff.
Especially the...
"Psychological suggestion, huh?"
Morin glanced at the walls and surroundings, then slowly closed his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, passing through here wouldn't be an issue.
But if one lingered too long, the Nen on the walls would guide them, planting a psychological suggestion within.
---
Although Morin wasn't certain about the exact nature of this psychological suggestion, it likely involved loyalty to V5 and a willingness to dedicate oneself entirely to the cause of the Dark Continent. Such psychological suggestions might not harm a person's body—in fact, the Nen could enhance the physical condition of those who pass through.
However, in terms of personality, it might gradually lead individuals to become more aggressive and indifferent, evolving into emotionless work machines. For the sake of profit and achieving goals, they might resort to any means necessary, disregarding morals and ethics.
Otherwise, the people at the Navigation Bereau wouldn't have conceived the insane idea of releasing Chimera Ants, a species that devours humans, into a place like the NGL Autonomous Region for experimentation. Morin followed behind the leader, traversing a long corridor. At the corridor's end, a door stood slightly ajar, emitting a faint glow from within.
"You're late."
As the leader pushed the door open and entered the room, someone already seated inside spoke calmly. The room was small and minimalist, with only a round table in the center and a large electronic screen behind it. Five chairs surrounded the round table, with one already occupied. The high-ranking leader who entered last casually pulled out the remaining chair and sat down.
"Five people? Judging by their attire, skin color, behavior, and manner of speaking..."
Morin, who had followed the leader inside, assessed the situation.
"Are these the main representatives V5 sent to the Navigation Bereau?"
Despite V5 implementing numerous measures here, they still felt uneasy about the Navigation Bereau. Naturally, they would dispatch their representatives to oversee and monitor the operations.
Apart from the stern-faced man who entered last, the others had already opened the documents before them.
"Planning, action plans, supporting materials—everything is ready."
One man, wearing an expensive watch and adorned with diamonds, tapped his fingers on the plan before him.
Indeed, opulence could apply to men as well.
"We've all reviewed it, and there are no issues."
To the left of this opulent man was a resolute-looking man, though he wore several colorful ties.
"Now it's just you we're waiting on."
To the right of the opulent man was a man in military attire, with a stern, square face.
"Once you agree, we can fully implement our plan."
Across from the opulent man, next to the stern-faced man, was a plump woman with curly hair and large round glasses.
Five individuals in total, representing the world's strongest organization, the countries behind V5!
The stern-faced man didn't respond verbally, instead picking up the documents on the table to review.
"These documents are infused with Nen, to differentiate those who access them?"
Morin marveled at the Navigation Bereau's strong anti-theft measures while observing the document contents alongside the stern-faced man.
With Morin's keen eye and memory, memorizing the entire plan was no challenge. The title of the action plan was clearly etched into Morin's mind: "Ant Nest Plan."
This implied using the Sixth Continent as a greenhouse nest for cultivating ants...
Morin silently continued to read on.
This action plan was nearly identical to the original version, with no significant changes. After reviewing it, the stern-faced man closed the file and nodded slightly.
"We have no objections."
He used "we" instead of "I," indicating that the country he represented also supported the plan.
"That's good."
Upon hearing this, the other individuals displayed warm smiles.
With this consensus, our plan can officially commence.
It was the opulent man wearing two watches who spoke first, "I've already made preliminary contact, just awaiting further communication."
"There's no time like the present; let's establish contact again now."
The resolute man with multiple ties suggested.
"I have no objections."
The plump woman chuckled, evidently pleased with the agreement.
"I'm ready."
The square-faced military man nodded slightly.
"Then let's begin."
