Chapter 45 News

The mechanism of the 'Time Dilation' ability only activates at the moment when the entire Nen Space extends and freezes.

Before that, the Post-Mortem Nen from the Libra's outbreak in the temple's release pond still had a few seconds of activity time.

If Eriselle didn't leave the temple ahead of time, the situation might have been quite dire.

'I hope he can get through this safely.'

Moses thought in his heart.

Although the zombie-faced Nen Exorcist gave off an arrogant and superior feeling, his dedication was admirable.

If he could get through this safely, it would undoubtedly be a joyful thing.

Withdrawing his gaze, Moses headed towards the direction of the nearest city.

After walking for about two hours, Moses suddenly heard the sound of a vehicle, accompanied by headlights approaching from behind.

Moses turned around, only able to see the dazzling high beams.

As the headlights got closer and closer, the driver noticed Moses and switched from high to low beams. Then, he rolled down the car window and peered out at Moses standing on the roadside.

"Little brother, it's already so late at night, why are you alone here? Are you heading somewhere? If so, then get in… I'll give you a ride."

The man leaning out of the car window was a middle-aged man with a thick beard and a kind face.

"Thank you, uncle, I want to go to the nearby city."

Moses looked at the middle-aged man, smiling without rejecting his kindness.

"The nearby city…"

The middle-aged man thought for a while and asked, "Do you mean Ganlin City?"

"Yes."

Moses nodded with a smile.

He knew nothing about Ganlin City, but as long as it was a relatively prosperous city, it would be fine.

In such a place, Moses should be able to find a way to get a fake ID.

"Well… it's on my way, come on up then."

The middle-aged man beckoned for Moses to get into the car.

Moses opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Fasten your seat belt."

The middle-aged man reminded him, then shifted the gears and stepped on the gas.

The blue pickup truck, loaded with vegetables, slowly moved forward, gradually picking up speed.

"Little brother, it takes seven to eight hours to reach Ganlin City from here. It's so late already, did you have a disagreement with your family, and then ran away from home?"

The pickup truck smoothly traveled on the road, and the middle-aged man started talking.

Moses responded with a smile: "No, I didn't. I have relatives in Ganlin City, and I'm going to visit them for a few days. My parents already agreed to it."

"I see."

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then said earnestly: "Little brother, don't blame uncle for being straightforward, but did your parents' heads get hit by a donkey? How could they let a kid like you to travel so far to Ganlin City at night? Oh, by the way, do you want to call your parents?"

"No need, thank you for your concern, uncle."

Moses smiled, indicating he didn't need the middle-aged man to worry.

It can be seen that this enthusiastic middle-aged uncle is quite talkative.

Like this, Moses responded to the middle-aged uncle's chattering at every turn. By the time the pickup truck arrived in Ganlin City, it was already dawn.

"Uncle, thank you very much."

Moses stuffed a large denomination banknote into the gap of the seat, opened the door and got out of the car.

"Haha, it's just small matter."

The middle-aged uncle grinned at Moses, and then drove away, slowly continuing on his way.

Moses stood on the roadside and watched.

Suddenly.

The pickup truck rolled down its window.

Moses was puzzled, but then saw a ball of paper flew out of the car window, landing in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, with a roar of the engine, the pickup truck accelerated and sped away.

Moses glanced at the pickup truck driving away, and then looked down at the crumpled banknote on the ground.

"This uncle..."

Moses chuckled and bent down to pick up the banknote.

On the way here, he had mentioned paying for the gas to the middle-aged man, but the man had threatened him with a "I'll kick you off the car if you mention money again".

That's why Moses secretly stuffed a 10,000 Jenny banknote into the gap of the seat before getting off the car.

It can't be helped, as the dozen or so banknotes Cheadle gave him were all large-denomination banknotes...

After secretly stuffing the banknote, he didn't expect that uncle would find it, and then he directly crumpled it into a ball and threw it back at him.

Putting the crumpled money back into his pocket, Moses looked at the direction where the pickup truck was leaving, with a smile on his lips.

Evil people, once they awaken their Nen, would develop even more evil Nen abilities.

Conversely, genuinely kind and good-hearted people, once awakened their Nen, would undoubtedly develop even more friendly Nen abilities.

Moses couldn't help but wonder what kind of Nen ability this middle-aged man would develop if he awakened his Nen.

These strange thoughts lingered in his mind, and Moses couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Nen abilities were not common knowledge taught in schools and weren't widespread worldwide. Therefore, ordinary people like that middle-aged man will probably never come into contact with the existence of Nen ability in their lifetime.

Moses pushed aside these meaningless thoughts and headed along the road towards Ganlin City.

After arriving in the city, Moses found a private hotel, booked a room, and slept until evening.

After waking up, he got out of bed, freshened up a bit, and left the hotel. Moses then got something to eat from a roadside stall, and then started looking for channels to obtain fake IDs.

As someone new, he could only look for small advertisements in places like public toilets and telephone poles advertising fake IDs.

After several attempts, he finally found a small ad for fake IDs. Moses then found a nearby phone booth and called the number on the small ad.

After a short wait, the call was connected.

"Speak."

A somewhat sly voice came through the phone.

"I need an ID card."

Moses stated the request directly.

"A 20,000 Jenny deposit, and then another 30,000 Jenny after the application is completed. Any issues?"

"No problem."

"At 8 p.m., in the alley behind the Aiai Bar on Jinza Street, bring the money on time."

"Okay."

The call was then disconnected.

Moses walked out of the phone booth and began searching for a newsstand along the street.

After more than ten minutes of searching, he finally found a newsstand with an old man wearing reading glasses intently watching a small television placed on the table.

The person looking at the newsstand was an old man wearing reading glasses, who was concentrating on watching the small TV placed on the table.

Moses walked over, and from the array of magazines, brochures, newspapers, and other publications, he found a world map and a map of Ganlin City.

"Boss, how much?"

"200."

The boss glanced at the things on Moses's hand, then lowered his head to watch the small TV again.

Hearing this, Moses took out two coins and placed them on the counter. As he turned to leave, he heard the news broadcast from the small TV.

"We've just received news that around 7:20 this morning, a citizen discovered a blue pickup truck that was suspected of being attacked on Gonglan Avenue. According to the police on-site investigation, the blue pickup truck was cut into six sections by a tool resembling an electric saw."

"And the remains of the driver's body were found in the green belt 100 meters away from the incident site."

"Based on the modus operandi at the crime scene, the police speculated that it was the C-Rank fugitive wanted criminal, Dis Mendeck, who was previously involved in the heinous murder and dismemberment case at the Miyu Cabaret."

"At present, the police have confirmed the identity of the victim…"

Moses took a few steps forward, reaching out his hand to turn the small TV in front of the old man to his direction.

The victim's ID card photo was displayed on the screen. It was the middle-aged man who sent him to Ganlin City.

"What the hell?!"

The old man became irritated. He grabbed a magazine and hit Moses's hand with force.

However, Moses didn't show any response. He just stared at the screen displaying the photo of the middle-aged man silently.
