Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 326 The Witch of "Misfortune"

Inside Nion's room.

She was just about to rest when she heard a knock on the door.

"Boss, you're still awake, aren't you? We have something to report to you." Dazo Nie's voice came from outside the door.

Neon's face was puffed up with anger.

But she still said, "Come in."

Dazoni led the way, bringing Kurapika and Melody into the room.

It was agreed beforehand that if Neon couldn't handle the emotional breakdown, then Melody would need to use music to stabilize Neon's emotions.

"Hmm, you're back. Where's Dad?" Neon noticed Kurapika's presence.

"Have you taken pictures of everything I asked for?"

"Nion, we have some news to tell you about your father," Dazoni called out Nion's name.

This time, he wasn't speaking as the family's bodyguard captain, but as an "uncle" who had looked after Nyon for many years.

Even if Neon were slow-witted, she would have guessed a certain possibility by now.

"Dad hasn't come back. Did something happen to him?" Neo's voice trembled uncontrollably.

"No, Dad had me do a divination, so nothing bad will happen." Neo sat on the bed, somewhat lost in thought.

In the anime, Neon has also encountered similar situations.

The news of Squala's death caused Neon's maid to break down in tears, and left Neon completely stunned.

Neon probably never imagined that her father would die suddenly.

Seeing this, Dazo Nie was at a loss for words.

At least for now, it seems that Neon is not a completely innocent girl.

Kurapika stepped forward.

"It's all my fault for not protecting him properly." Kurapika felt guilty, thinking that if he had been stronger, this wouldn't have happened.

It can only be said that he did not consider all aspects thoroughly enough, and his abilities were developed in response to various possible situations he might encounter.

"Was it those Phantom Troupe members who killed my father?"

Don't be fooled by Lucci turning off the light screen in front of Bisky and the others.

But in fact, he has always been paying attention.

I wonder if this is the world's Neon, and whether things will change.

Neon from another world was someone Lucci had once focused on.

After all, if the ability to predict the future is developed further, who knows if it could become a "causal" ability?

Just like Voldemort in the Harry Potter world, you could say that he himself believed in the prophecy and then actively became part of it, thus contributing to its occurrence.

In the manga, some of the Phantom Troupe's "premonitions of death" seem to have only been postponed.

There have been several explanations for this, one of which is that Chrollo's actions violated the Restraint X Oath that Neon had set for her own abilities.

It's also possible that not long after the prophecy was made, Kurapika sealed Chrollo's Nen, skipping the month of the prophecy. After the seal was lifted, the prophecy slowly began to take effect.

It's also a bit like Final Destination.

The inability to escape or avoid it is the terrifying aspect of causal abilities.

Neon in Lucci's world, despite being affected, was still too well protected, even though Lucci specifically sent people to guide and develop her abilities.

But it never worked.

But in this world, if this Neon harbors hatred, then she will definitely be willing to pay a price to seek revenge.

Their abilities may undergo some kind of "evolution".

Of course, all of this is just speculation, and Lucci is not sure whether things will really change this way.

"So my dad...he..." Neon didn't dare to continue.

Just because you guessed it doesn't mean you're willing to accept the reality.

In the end, Kurapika told the truth.

Neon burst into tears.

I still can't stand hearing it with my own ears.

Neon didn't blame Kurapika, but blamed herself for her previous mindset.

His father had always spoken highly of Captain Dazo Nie, but tonight, when they encountered just one member of the Phantom Troupe, everyone looked terrified.

Although she was not harmed, it can only be said that it was the result of their efforts, or that she was just lucky.

The father will encounter even more members of the Phantom Troupe at the auction.

It turns out that those things were actually not far from me; it's just that I've always been too well protected.

Sometimes, growth can happen in the blink of an eye.

"Boss, now we need your instructions." At least Kurapika was still willing to respect this little boss.

Kurapika feels a sense of guilt, especially when the other person's father is also dead.

"Waaah... Even so... I don't know what to do now?" Upon hearing the news of her father's death, Neon was completely at a loss.

"So, boss, do you have contact information for other family members?" This mainly refers to the plans of some leaders who manage other businesses of the Nosla family.

Neon shook her head. "You won't save these numbers."

"So, boss, do you know where important family information or things are kept?" Neo is unreliable for the time being, and we can only rely on these bodyguards.

That means they didn't have any bad intentions, otherwise Neo would have been in big trouble.

The melody suddenly changed in expression.

"Someone is approaching here, and their heartbeats are strange."

Today, Melody has been paying close attention to her "listening" ability, especially after encountering Kuroro, she's become quite easily startled.

It was discovered immediately when someone approached.

"Is it an enemy?! Protect the boss!" Kurapika immediately rushed out.

They saw Kurapika rushing out in a panic.

Killua's immediate reaction was, "Are the Phantom Troupe chasing after us?"

The people who came were not members of the Phantom Troupe, but Julia and her two companions who came on Lucci's orders.

"We've been detected, but we don't know what type of detection capability it is," Eve said.

"The Nosra family in this world seems a bit different, but it would be good to meet that girl. I just don't know if she still has that troublesome personality."

Julia knows Neon, Neon from another world.

As someone who aspires to climb the social ladder, Wright Nosla is not only extremely obsequious to the Ten Elders, but also to the Conrad family.

He even went so far as to have his daughter research the Sky Arena, all in an attempt to curry favor with Lucci.

It's a real shame that my daughter's Nen ability appeared "out of nowhere," making it difficult to change, though she has still made some small progress.

In another world, Neon is known not only as the fortune teller and prophet witch, but also as the "misfortune" witch.
