Chapter 111 Ilumi and Hisoka

Fox River Prison was built next to the river, hence its name.

The prison is surrounded by rivers on three sides and had high walls, making the security extremely strict.

This is a large prison specially built to hold heinous criminals, and no accidents had ever occurred here.

However, an alarming and shocking event had taken place today.

All 6,477 heinous criminals imprisoned, as well as the 400 personnel responsible for managing and operating the prison, had vanished overnight.

This major incident was reported by large television stations, causing panic to spread rapidly among the public, much like an epidemic.

No one cared about the fate of the 400 prison guards and other personnel.

They only care about the whereabouts of the 6,477 heinous criminals.

After all, to them, these heinous criminals are extremely dangerous, and if they spread to surrounding areas, the consequences will be disastrous.

"6477?"

Moses, who is about to board an airship, looked at Pyon with surprise after hearing this number.

'There are as many as 6,477 heinous criminals in one area alone.'

'Is this the crime rate in Hunter x Hunter World?'

"You heard it right, it is indeed 6,477."

"The minimum sentence starts from 300 years?"

"Yes."

Pyon handed the ticket to the flight attendant for verification, and then walked ahead.

Moses quickly caught up, expressing his amazement: "Why? Is the cost of a bullet very high? Or is it because the Dena Region is too financially wealthy, that they are willing to waste money raising so many beasts?"

"Huh?"

Pyon looked back at Moses, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

"I like to hear more about what you say."

Despite Pyon appearing as a cute and harmless young girl, she was actually a typical hawkish individual with extremely radical views on certain matters.

For instance, she advocates the death penalty and believes that imprisoning heinous criminals is just a waste of resources.

Therefore, what Moses just said deeply resonated with her.

"But the current problem is this."

Pyon picked up her phone and showed the screen to Moses.

On the screen were photos taken at the scene of the Fox River Prison she just received.

The photos are full of black human-shaped scorch marks, there are so many of them.

"So many?"

Moses's pupils slightly contract when he saw the photos.

Pyon put away her phone and nodded: "The exact number of scorch marks is still being calculated. Kester, what comes to your mind when you saw this photo?"

"Detana Restaurant."

Moses's eyes were slightly solemn, and he opened the door of the private room and let Pyon go in first.

"That's right, just like the scene at the Detana Restaurant."

Pyon walked into the private room.

At this moment, Kanzai's voice came from the other side of the corridor.

"Hey, you guys are really heartless. I just went to the toilet, why didn't you wait for me?"

Kanzai hurriedly walked over from the other side.

Moses glanced at him and then walked into the private room.

Seeing this, veins appeared on Kanzai's forehead, and he entered the private room with large strides.

As soon as Pyon sat down, he saw Kanzai storming into the room.

"You're not a kid anymore. Why, afraid you won't find mommy and daddy?"

Pyon taunted with a sneer.

Kanzai anger surged, but he only glared at Pyon.

It is true that he has a bad temper, but he will not vent his substantial anger to the people around him casually.

Pyon ignored Kanzai and turned her head to look at Moses, who had just sat down.

"Emptying the prison overnight isn't something an individual can achieve, it's a premeditated group action. The problem is… the other party knows the Swamp People very well. Is it possible that they are Davidson's people?"

"The possibility is not high."

Moses frowned and said: "Assuming that Davidson could subjectively drive such a straightforward method, then there is no need for him to hold the book signing events with great fanfare. Instead, he would have resorted to simpler means long ago. He didn't do that, perhaps not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't."

Judging from the many terrifying aspects of Swamp Man ability, it was reasonable to assume the existence of uncontrollable limitation.

However, it could also be an even stricter 'inability to interfere' limitation.

Otherwise, Swamp Man ability could have appeared in the world in another way.

"If it's not Davison's people, unrelated to Davison, and understands the mechanism of Swamp People at the same time..."

Pyon looked puzzled and said, "What is this person trying to achieve by targeting the prison? What benefits could they gain from doing so?"

"…"

Moses was stunned for a moment and then fell silent.

He had previously considered using the Nen needle in the Replica Nen Box to eradicate those deserving death in the prison.

However, whether by force or stealth, the difficulty of implementing it was too high.

The former might result in his demise, while the latter is too inefficient compared to training honestly.

Moreover, even if the Hunter Association wants to select a portion of the heinous criminals to conduct Swamp People experiments, they had to submit the application step by step and wait for approval.

This shows how difficult it is to deal with the heinous criminals.

Just as Pyon speculated, being able to attack a heavily guarded prison in such a way was not something an individual could accomplish, it was a group action.

'Then-'

'I want to clean up the prison in order to increase the strength of my shadow…'

'So what is the purpose of this unknown organization that attacked Fox River Prison?'

'What benefits could they gain from doing this?'

"Perhaps they want to take revenge against society."

After Kanzai heard Pyon's question, he gave his opinion almost without thinking.

Having mastered the switch to transform Swamp People and deliberately choosing a prison with heinous criminals could result in more than 6,000 transformed Swamp People criminal set free.

In Kanzai's view, such a laborious and thankless act could only be for the purpose of taking revenge against society.

Hearing Kanzai's answer, Moses and Pyon both looked surprised and then exchanged glances.

'That's right…'

'It seems that I am accustomed to thinking about things in a complicated direction, neglecting the simpler possibilities.'

'Purely taking revenge against society…'

'It is not impossible.'

Thinking of this, both Moses and Pyon turned to look at Kanzai.

"What?"

Kanzai frowned.

Pyon solemnly said: "Kanzai, you are too smart."

"Hah?"

Kanzai looked at Pyon with a puzzled expression.

'This stinky woman who likes to be sarcastic, actually praises me?'

"Hmm?"

Kanzai felt something was off, so he looked at Pyon and asked skeptically: "Why do I feel like you're insulting me?"

The airship ascended and slowly flew in a certain direction.

…

During the dusk, the setting sun was like fire.

In a villa in the mountains, the spacious courtyard was filled with corpses.

In the study of the villa, luxuriously decorated with various high-value furnishings, two bodies lay on the floor.

One body in a black suit had round-head needle stuck in its head, and the other body belonged to a big bald man.

The latter was killed by the former.

A large amount of blood flowed out from under the neck of the big bald man, like a stream, spreading to Illumi's feet.

"Sunglasses."

Illumi was wearing a pair of sunglasses on his face, but he still held a pair of sunglasses in his hand, offering it to the man beside him.

"I advise you to wear it, Hisoka."

"It seems quite interesting."

Hisoka took the sunglasses and put them on his face.

Crackle—

Suddenly, a dazzling light of lightning flashed in the study room.

Illumi remained calm, showing no surprise at all.

However, Hisoka looked surprised.

Immediately afterwards…

Under their gaze, the body of the big bald man suddenly disappeared into thin air, turning into a human-shaped scorch mark.

But then, appearing out of thin air next to the human-shaped scorch mark, is the big bald man, as if it had been cut and pasted.

However, the big bald man was no longer a corpse but a living person.

The big bald man, who was resurrected on the spot, looked frightened and frantically ran towards the door.

"Interesting, it's like magic."

Illumi ignored the actions of the resurrected man and turned his head to look at Hisoka beside him.

"Hmm~ Thanks for sharing."

Hisoka squinted his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, a playing card shot out.

Splurt.

The playing card accurately sliced into the big bald man's head.

So,

The big bald man died on the spot once again.

"Ah, you acted too quickly."

Illumi, with drooping eyelids, spread his hands and said: "I was thinking of using him to show you something more interesting. But now that he's dead, there's no way."

"Really~"

Hisoka seemed somewhat helpless and said, "You should have mentioned that earlier."

"It doesn't matter."

Illumi took out his phone and sent a confirmation message to the employer for the completed task.

Then, he looked at Hisoka again.

"There are quite a few over there in Dena."

"Oh?"
