Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 347 The Appearance of Thoughts After Death

What happened?

Everyone was stunned!

But Chrollo and the others reacted even faster; the unexpected situation made them act against Kurapika without hesitation.

Killua was even more confused, wondering why the necklace created by the divine word hadn't worked.

But now is not the time to think about that.

Even Silva and Zeno, who had originally intended to leave, temporarily stopped in their tracks.

A tall figure stood in the rain in the distance.

The rainwater seeped through, revealing a phantom human figure.

Fortunately, the attack did not directly hit Kurapika's heart. The chains swung out, and he retreated at the same time.

Is that something to be recited after death?

Everyone discovered what was behind the attack on Kurapika.

It was Franklin after his death.

The ability to retain one's spirit after death is relatively rare in the Hunter world, but whenever it does appear, it remains a very powerful ability.

In the anime, Gon's "forced growth" is so abnormal that even Neferpitou's post-mortem Nen cannot do anything to him.

As for the missing arm, one reason is that Xiao Jie no longer cares, and another is that Kate lost her arm because of them.

Based on some of Lucci's summaries.

There are roughly three factors that contribute to the formation of post-mortem thoughts.

One is to be preoccupied with something for a long time, the other is to have strong enough emotions, and the other is to have something you want to achieve even at the moment of death.

Of course, even if these three conditions are met, there is no guarantee that thoughts of the afterlife will appear.

Are there any other conditions? Because there is too little data, Lucci has not yet figured them out.

Of course, it's also possible that not so many conditions are required.

It's simply a Nen ability, or a vow made before death that is triggered after death.

Franklin was clearly in a similar situation.

The moment he was bound by chains, Franklin knew he was going to die, and he was also aware of the terrible situation the Phantom Troupe was in.

In that situation, Franklin began to think.

His powerful obsession caused him to appear in the form of a post-mortem thought.

There are many types of post-mortem Nen, such as Hisoka's, which involves pre-injection and is a post-mortem reaction.

Catwoman's ability, on the other hand, has a control function, making it "more convenient" for her to attack using her post-mortem thoughts.

Some post-mortal thoughts are remnants of materialized products.

And the emergence of figures like Franklin, who appear as if they are seeking revenge like "the dead."

But this situation won't last long.

Even if they attack, it will probably only happen once or twice.

The illusory figure raised its hand once more.

Unlike the original Franklin who fired machine guns, this deceased Nen can only use a single finger, yet its attack power is far greater than before his death.

It can also break through Kurapika's defense.

It's worth noting that even when Uvogin landed a full-force punch on Kurapika's arm, it only resulted in a broken bone.

Kurapika is now on guard and trying to dodge.

Despite his best efforts to dodge, he was still hit, this time in the abdomen.

"Kurapika!"

Being injured and surrounded, this situation is extremely dangerous.

Kuroro had already escaped the chains and was now forcing Kurapika to surrender.

His arm was like a sharp blade, and he was about to "disembowel" Kurapika.

Because it happened in an instant, Kuroro didn't have time to unleash his abilities or flip through the pages to choose a suitable one.

But it is enough.

Kurapika, who is injured, needs to use Nen to seal his wounds.

There will be weaknesses in the defense.

Just as he was about to succeed, Kuroro's attack struck the blue barrier that suddenly appeared.

Kurapika's God Necklace is working.

Shermie on the rooftop has disappeared.

They arrived next to Franklin's spirit after death, which was no longer capable of attacking.

It's starting to slowly dissipate.

"Why hasn't the power of the word 'God' been activated?" This was something Sharmi didn't quite understand.

Phoenix fell from the sky.

It opened its mouth, and the dissipating particles of light from its death were all sucked into Phoenix's mouth.

"The powerful obsession after death has locked onto the attack. Unless a corresponding mechanism is added, the power of the divine protection will not react," Phoenix quickly explained.

"What have you done!" Paknotan fired rapidly.

She was arguably the most "sentimental" member of the group, and in her eyes, she saw Franklin being "killed" once again.

Of course, these attacks were naturally blocked by the "barrier".

Blocked by the barrier, Killua once again used Thunder Beast, forcing all the Phantom Troupe members to retreat.

This move also caught Hisoka's attention, though he could tell it wasn't Killua's ability.

After all, they had actually fought each other before.

"Kurapika, are you alright?" Gon and the others approached.

Fortunately, Kurapika possesses healing abilities, which can be achieved by immediately using the Thumb Healing Chain.

This consumed a lot of my spiritual energy.

Upon seeing Kurapika use his healing abilities, the members of the Phantom Troupe realized that this was a very difficult opponent to deal with, as it was the first time they had encountered such a formidable adversary.

This scene also made Gon and his friends, including Gore and Abengane, marvel at Kurapika's all-around abilities.

It's easy to imagine that Kurapika's five chains represent different abilities.

"How dare she provoke us? Shouldn't we teach her a lesson?" Sharmi said.

"I don't care about the provocations of ants," Phoenix said, indicating that he didn't take it to heart at all.

"In that case!"

Sharmi held out her right hand to her lips and then blew gently.

"Snap!"

An electric ball appeared out of nowhere next to Paknottan.

"Ah!" came the scream of Paknotan as he was electrocuted.

"Paknotan!" Peeling Ripper immediately unleashed his ability attack and quickly positioned himself in front of Paknotan to prevent him from being attacked.

However, Peeling Ripper's attack still hit the barrier.

This is neither a manifestation of divine creation nor Sharm's ability, but belongs to Phoenix.

This is already considered a very ordinary use of his ability.

"Peel off the Ripper, take Paknotan away!" Kuroro suddenly gave the order.

Simultaneously, the abilities were activated, and the five previously used Nen Beast Knights appeared.

Kuroro had no desire to fight again or seek revenge.

In short, we should leave first and then make further plans.

Shermie had no intention of attacking.

As for Kurapika and his group, they were briefly stopped, watching as the Phantom Troupe disappeared into the rain.

Kurapika passed out immediately after the Phantom Troupe left.

"Kurapika, what's going on?"

Kurapika's injuries have already healed, haven't they?

Why is this happening?

Could it be that the attack just now had some special negative effect?

"Master, what's going on?" Killua shouted.

Sharmi approached.

A special barrier covers the area, keeping the rain out.

"You should still think about this problem."
