Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 174 Lucci's Experiment, Secret Realm Marker

Lucci concealed his figure.

Then another fire started falling from the sky, but this time it only affected a small area instead of engulfing the entire town of Falls.

Some people still died among them.

But unlike before, the destroyed buildings and the people killed were not being reproduced.

The fire was no longer extinguished by rain, but by the residents of Waterfall working together to put it out.

It also demonstrated considerable wisdom.

Everyone has their own personality.

Each secret realm has its own unique value, so where does the value of this secret realm lie?

Aside from trapping people here, there's nothing particularly special about it for the time being.

Lucci began to probe step by step.

The first and foremost ability is spatial teleportation.

Lucci teleported away directly, and of course did not appear in the Stacy family's military camp, but in the forest area outside Waterfall Town, in the Waterfall region.

When he tried to teleport into the secret realm, he found that he had teleported directly into the water.

Then, emerging from the water will take you into a new waterfall town.

Once he leaves, the town of Falls, where he previously lived, will disappear.

The town I encountered upon entering again was not the same as the previous waterfall town, and the traces of destruction had completely disappeared.

When Lucci experiments and leaves Phoenix behind, he will be able to enter Fallstown once again.

The Book of Sacrifice possesses power, but it does not have a concrete consciousness. Instead, it acts according to rules and relies on the circumstances of outsiders to present a false image of Fallstown.

This ability is very powerful, and Lucci said he really wanted it.

Then the murders were carried out at night in Fallstown.

They even deliberately let several eyewitnesses see the figure, but they didn't see the specific events clearly.

Lucci also noticed that the food in Waterfall Town was actually real.

This ability completely surpasses that of countless Gourmet Hunters.

Of course, Lucci didn't eat it himself, but instead found some test animals to try it, and at least he didn't see any problems.

Even so, Lucci refused to eat it.

Perhaps this food is indeed edible, but if it contains any conditions that bind the X oath, then it's practically handing yourself over to them.

On the third day, Lucci's previous actions began to have an effect.

Without Lucci's intervention, murders began to occur at night, putting the entire town of Falls in a state of panic.

It was a killer presented as a completely black shadow, whose image could be understood as "Little Black" from Detective Conan.

"As expected, it's related to memories and thoughts." Lucci saw through the killer's existence directly.

It's somewhat similar to "story materialization".

Because of Lucci's actions, the town of Falls was thrown into a state of panic, and the residents of the town were all speculating about various things.

Then, amidst their fear and conversation, such a "murderer" emerged.

It's somewhat similar to the power of wishes, or you could say it's a kind of fearful "faith".

Thoughts and mind are a magical power that can materialize certain things, and in some worlds, there are even "gods" born from them.

And in the real town of Waterfall, there is also a figure like this.

Knowing the reason, if you operate in detail, there will be many amazing tricks.

If the people of these waterfall towns can believe, can they be born into this world?

But Lucci guessed that there must be an upper limit; it couldn't be without any restrictions.

To achieve this condition, the entire town of Falls must "approv" of it.

As long as they believe in it, a corresponding entity will be born.

To this end, Lucci conducted other experiments, having Phoenix appear in the forest of Fallstown to attract attention and be seen by people.

Soon after, rumors began to circulate that a bird resembling a Phoenix had appeared in the forests of Fallstown.

But this bird doesn't possess Phoenix's abilities.

It's just an ordinary bird that looks similar.

"That's a bit scary. If the fakes become real, these should be allowed out of the house, right?"

Lucci then experimented by using spatial teleportation to take the replica of Funix out.

Unfortunately, less than three seconds after leaving the secret realm, the Phoenix "replica" in his hand vanished as a burst of energy.

"Can't I take it out? Or is it because I haven't met some condition?"

Lucci now completely regards this place as an alternative island of greed.

During Lucci's experiment, the others also made some discoveries, and of course, they also began to encounter dangers.

The most typical example is the weakest one, Ye Tai Conrad.

In an abandoned house: "This is the fifth day already. Has Lord Lucci still not found a solution?"

He had dark circles under his eyes at that moment.

He hasn't slept for two days.

On his first day, he explored Waterfall Town but found nothing unusual. He even received some help from the townspeople.

But being cautious, he accepted it, even bringing his own food from the secret realm.

However, he didn't bring much food with him, only enough to last for two days.

By the third day, he had run out of water and had no choice but to drink it in the secret realm.

Nothing much happens during the day, but at night, after he goes to sleep, he wakes up in another waterfall town.

In a dark waterfall town, he was the first to realize that the town resembled the prophetic vision he had seen, which immediately put him on alert.

He knew he was in danger.

He remained in the dark town of Falls for a full six hours before he "woke up".

Of course, the reason he was able to hold out for so long was because the town of Dark Falls was not peaceful; battles were taking place elsewhere.

It was as if all other dangers had been drawn away.

It's too much to guess that it might be someone else who had the same experience as him.

But it couldn't be Lord Lucci.

It looked like a dream, but it was also very clear that it wasn't a dream at all; that place was probably the real location of Waterfall Town.

Based on my own experience, I am very clear about what kind of situation I encountered.

Was I flagged because I drank the water here?

In order to avoid falling back into that Dark Falls town, Ye Tai had no choice but to stop sleeping, since he couldn't guarantee that he would be lucky enough to run into someone else who would distract him.

The Stacy family's team naturally suffered casualties.

Of course, not all of them were killed.

Although everyone's time of day and sleep schedule are different, when there are many people, they will all experience the same thing.

You'll run into teammates, and even if you don't, there will be lucky ones like Ye Tai who can draw fire and avoid too much danger.
