Living in Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 172 Individual Differences

The flames spread to everyone.

Then one by one they stepped into the pond in front of them and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Looking at the group of people who were unharmed despite being engulfed in flames.

The Stacy family and others, who were not unfamiliar with Nen abilities, also began to ponder.

Does it offer any resistance against other Nen abilities?

This situation is rare; even defenses don't usually manifest as flames.

Then it might not be a purely defensive Nen ability, but rather an effect that simply neutralizes Nen abilities; it can only be a means of eliminating Nen.

Upon realizing this, the Stacy family members finally understood that Lucci's confidence stemmed from his ability to exorcise negative thoughts.

Flames in Lucci's hands have never been merely a means of attack.

It relies on the power of Phoenix and the healing flame.

Lucci was the last to enter.

The power of the secret realm wanted to affect him, but it was blocked by the flames of purification.

Once inside the secret realm, I was separated from everyone else.

There wasn't a single person in sight.

It quickly emerged from the water.

"Ah!" came the exclamation.

Lucky emerged from the fountain.

At this moment, in the town center park of Fallstown, there were many children playing and some residents of Fallstown taking a walk.

Seeing this, Lucci thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

What he saw at that moment was Waterfall Town in daylight.

Because of Lucci's unexpected appearance, the people near the fountain were frightened and quickly ran away.

Everything seemed to be real.

From another perspective, the town of Falls, where Phoenix is ​​located, is still shrouded in darkness.

Are there different levels of illusion?

The purifying flames on Lucci's body had not dissipated, and his Sharingan had transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan, but he was still unable to see through his surroundings.

He is not currently trapped in a mental illusion. Although the power of the secret realm is strange and powerful, it cannot break through the power of the Purifying Flame and the Sharingan.

This method intrigued Lucci.

How exactly was this done, and can I learn it myself?

If this construction method were used on the Sky Arena, then the Sky Arena might have to be renamed and become a special tower.

Lucci wanted to learn this technique.

"I was a little worried before about whether anyone was still alive, but since it's a fake existence, there's no need to be polite."

The different perspectives offered by the two individuals will lead to different experiences for others.

Lucci is already planning to make his move.

In other unknown areas within the secret realm, everyone was scattered.

As they entered Waterfall Town, the purifying flames on their bodies dissipated, since the power Lucci had applied to them had a time limit.

Everyone is in a different waterfall town.

Furthermore, the time periods in Waterfall Town also vary.

"Although I had guessed this was possible, this is troublesome!" Ye Tai walked out of the fountain, now in the town of Waterfall at night.

There was no one else around; they had all been separated without a doubt.

Furthermore, since Lord Lucci's Nen Beast Bird was not seen around, there was only one possibility: everyone had entered different waterfall towns.

While feeling somewhat worried, Ye Tai was also very curious.

What exists in this waterfall town?

The existence of the secret realm, as described by Lord Lucci, represents both danger and opportunity.

Even the secret realm formed by the thoughts of the dead contains extraordinary things.

Some are "mind tools" with special abilities, while others are materials or plants and animals that do not exist in the world and are unique to the secret realm.

Seeing this will give you a sense of familiarity.

Because isn't this just like Greed Island from the anime?

You can obtain the Greed Island completion reward by leaving the island after fulfilling the rules.

Aside from their amazing abilities, there are also many unique creations among them.

The blue planet gem that Bisky wants in the anime is a gem that does not exist in the outside world.

However, compared to the Secret Realm, Greed Island is actually much "safer".

Driven by curiosity and a desire to explore, they began to venture into the secret realm.

The others also had their own experiences in Fallstown.

Some people, like Lucci, appeared during the day and were seen by the people of Waterfall Town.

Among the Stacy family members, some acted violently, while others simply wanted to observe and investigate.

Every choice will lead to a different outcome.

Only Charlier appeared in the town of Falls at dusk, and unlike the others, there was no one else in the park at this time.

A woman was sitting on a bench not far from the fountain.

As Charlier stepped out of the fountain and observed his surroundings, he immediately spotted the woman.

I was stunned for a moment.

At the same time, the woman also saw that Charlier got up immediately.

I saw Charlier.

"I knew you'd come back." The woman had red hair and was dressed in ordinary casual clothes.

"Regina...!" Sharil said the name of the woman in front of him.

Regina is still alive; Emma was lying to him after all.

Regina wanted to hug Shariel, but the purifying flames on his body had not completely dissipated, which stopped her.

Regina's actions aroused Sharil's suspicions.

Could the person before me be an illusion?

After all, Lord Lucci had already said that before.

There were no companions around; everyone had been separated. Was this illusion something even Lord Lucci's power couldn't avoid?

"It seems the family has found a spirit exorcist!" Regina remarked.

They don't seem like characters from a fantasy at all.

"Regina, what exactly are you...?"

"Emma should have conveyed my message to you, but you still came. It seems you'll only be able to live in this world with me from now on," Regina said with some regret.

She hoped that Charlier would appear, but she also didn't want him to.

"Regina, what's going on? Can you cancel the secret realm now?" Sharil asked immediately.

Whether it's fake or not, let's just treat it as real for now.

As the purifying flames subsided, Sharil pulled Regina into his arms.

"Emma should have told you, I'm going to die. I'm already dead." Regina spoke as if she weren't talking about herself.

He informed Charlier of this fact.

Regina is dead.

Would a false illusion say such a thing? And deep down, would one really wish Regina hadn't died?

"Right now, I only possess Regina's memories. I'll just consider myself Regina for now." Regina pushed Shariel away.

Charlier said he didn't understand.

"This is just a place I built for myself to live in, because before I died I guessed you might come here, so I hope you will live here."

They also shared a message.

"Once you're here, don't even think about leaving. No one can leave, and I no longer control the Book of Sacrifice."
