Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 173 Burning Waterfall Town

In response to Regina's words, Shariel naturally had to ask questions.

Regina will also inform Sharil about what is happening here.

Regina wasn't entirely clear on the specifics of the Book of Sacrifice's power, because even now, she had never truly experienced its power.

The appearance of this secret realm caused more changes to the Book of Sacrifice's instincts, and she had only used its power to do some things before.

Of course, using such a powerful Nen tool wouldn't come without a price, which is naturally one's own life.

As Regina said, she is dead.

What remains are the memories she deliberately left behind before her death. She cannot control the Book of Sacrifice, but she can use its power to create a "world" for herself before she dies.

Now she is a member of this waterfall town, and will continue to live her life day after day.

As long as the secret realm doesn't disappear, she won't disappear either; she will always exist.

There are other residents in the town as well.

Unlike Regina, although they also have a certain degree of "consciousness", they are unable to understand the truth of the world.

The Book of Sacrifice treats the entire town as its sacrifices or sustenance, and they are an extremely important foundation, especially in the construction of the secret realm.

Each different waterfall town is an evolution of their shared memories.

If you communicate with them carefully, it's hard to tell that they are fake beings, just existing with certain memories.

In reality, they, like Regina, are already dead.

"Once you're here, you can't leave. Even I can't help you leave, since I'm already one of them, though I do have a little bit of authority."

Regina said that there was very little she could do.

There was no way to make Charlier leave, so he could only stay here with her and live out his days in solitude.

"You don't need to worry. Even though this place is created using Nen, it is still real. And as more people enter the secret realm and more people are captured by the Book of Sacrifice, this world will become more and more perfect."

"Who knows, maybe one day it will become a real world." Regina's words made Sharl feel that she was somewhat frightening.

He pushed her away.

"You're not Regina. Regina would never expect something like this."

Regina was somewhat saddened when she heard Shariel's words.

"Even if I don't expect it, what can I do? I can't change anything. It's just that it makes my life a little better, so naturally I'll expect it."

Regina knew that Shariel was only listening to her words and had no idea about the situation here or the horror of the Book of Sacrifice.

We are not yet in despair.

Once he's tried everything, he won't think that way anymore.

"You can try to find a way to leave, I can wait patiently," Regina said.

"I'm on XX Street in this small town. You can come find me when you've thought it through."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave, giving Sharl time to think.

And Sharil was indeed confused; should he trust Regina?

The surroundings felt so real that he decided to check out the situation in Waterfall Town before making any decisions.

At least for now, he doesn't completely believe it.

As for the others, they all took action on their own, and some of them had already started killing people.

An extremist in the Stacy family believes that killing everyone in the town will break the "illusion" before them.

In another space, however, it was completely engulfed in flames.

Screams echoed throughout the entire town of Falls.

Lu Qi flew high in the sky.

"This feeling is really unpleasant." Hearing the cries of pain around him made Lucci feel extremely frustrated.

Even if you know something is fake, it's still hard to completely ignore it.

Lucci's flames weren't just aimed at the people of Fallstown, but also at all the buildings, burning them to the ground. The fountain in the town center was a particular target of Lucci's fire.

Several enormous fireballs bombarded the park in the center of the town.

The entire park was in a mess, and the fountain was completely shattered.

Compared to other places, this is where the "abnormality" appears the fastest, as if a scroll has been torn apart, revealing the scenery of the next layer.

A few corners and edges appeared; the damaged fountain was scattered all over the ground, but traces of the fountain were still visible in its original location.

It's like having two fountains.

If you look closely, you'll see that dust is floating in through those "cracks".

The parts damaged by Lucci are being repaired rapidly.

This is to prevent Lucci from continuing to cause destruction.

Dark clouds began to appear in the sky, and a torrential downpour started instantly, as if trying to extinguish the fire that Lucci had started.

It was really raining.

"This power of creation." Feeling the rain falling on him, Lucci felt that this Book of Sacrifice was truly powerful.

If I could control it, I don't know how strong I would be.

However, he quickly calmed himself down.

Even if you are special and powerful, you should not be arrogant and should maintain a cautious attitude.

Even if an opportunity to control the Book of Sacrifice does arise, one must consider whether there are traps involved or too many side effects.

After all, such a powerful thing is clearly not something that can be easily controlled.

Just as no one has ever been able to control the Demon King's Sonata.

Those who are too arrogant may end up making a fool of themselves.

The heavy rain did affect Lucci's flames; they weren't powerful enough to be unaffected by the water.

But Lucci's actions, including some changes in Fallstown, have also contributed to this.

This also shows that Regina did not tell Shariel the truth.

Lucci didn't move, but began to observe as the flames slowly subsided.

The entire town of Falls was completely burned down; no one survived.

So what kind of changes will occur next?

The damaged area leading to the real waterfall town has been completely restored.

Observe from high altitude.

At the same time, they were waiting to see if this secret realm would attack them, just like it had attacked Phoenix before.

They also learned about the situation through the contract mark on Sharil's body.

Because of the contract mark, Lucci can appear by Shariel's side if he wants to.

The power of the secret realm could not stop him.

Lu Qi waited for more than half an hour, but there was no response, and it seemed that he would not attack him.

"Is it because we're still here?"

Then, in Lucci's eyes, the entire town of Falls was changing and slowly being repaired, and even the people Lucci had killed were slowly "resurrected" and reappearing.

Instead of rushing to break through, Lucci began to study the place.
