After the Auction, we gathered in the shabby building once again. Lucilfer was foaming at the mouth because the power she just stole has vanished as if never appeared. When she was eager to try it one second, she alerted by the power she lost, and she was in a very mood since.
She was pondering on the possibilities. Both the girl, Neon and her father were killed by a gun. But the Ambulance staff were just knocked unconscious. When we arrived at the entrance of the shabby building, she was already so angry, but when she found out how Nobunaga killed brutally and left for dogs to eat, she went mad.
We were sent all around the city to find a clue about Brotherhood of Steel and Chain user. I already planned to this point, so I flashed to my target. My target was a Mafia Executive. He couldn't reach his boss, one of the 10 Mafia Head, since last night, and didn't know what to do. As he was sitting in a hotel room, I flew inside the window and caught him from behind. I pressed my thumb to his forehead and used Conquerer's Haki, Mind Transfer Jutsu, and my Devil Fruit to send this man to the area where Feitan was searching.
I already told about Brotherhood of Steel once and made them Troupe's enemy. If I brought another man with the same memories, Lucilfer might get suspicious. So I ordered Mafia executive to go the area where Feitan was searching, and Feitan would find him without the man turns himself in. When everybody return, Pakunoda would search his memories and would find the memories Crow created. Taking attention away from Kurapika.
In original series, Kurapika would encounter with Lucilfer and seal his Nen powers. After that Lucilfer would find a Nen Exorcists and would lift the mark that Kurapika left to seal his powers. Because Kurapika sealed Lucilfer's powers, Hisoka couldn't fight against Lucilfer. Instead of all this nonsense time waste, I decided to confront Lucilfer with Hisoka, after the fight with Chimera Ants.
I could also kill Lucilfer after Kurapika sealed her, but it wasn't certain that Kurapika could seal her powers in this World too. So I decided to keep Kurapika out of the game.
When we return to the shabby building at the decided time, Feitan brought the Mafia executive I sent. His all body was shaking, probably tasted Feitan's torture. Lucilfer gave the order, and Pakunoda searched his memories.
In those memories, a man with Power Armor was sitting one of the big couch. He took out his helmet and looked around. He had black hairs, black eyes, a handsome face.
"Paladin Dense, how was your opponent?" asked one of the Mafia, there were Mafia and Brotherhood of Steel filled the extensive room.
"He was weak. I don't know why they exaggerate the Spider this much. His sword art was okay, but the power wasn't even enough to cut my armor. I shot him with firebombs until he becomes charcoal. He was even weaker than the other one," said Paladin Dense with a smirk.
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Then a man flung the door open and shouted, "We got news on Spiders, they are going to attack Auction tonight. We all are going to be there." the man said, and the memory ended.
I remembered Paladin Dense from the Fallout 4 game, and he wasn't an NPC, the player could encounter. There were holodisks, recorded by him. In case of other Paladins and higher ranks found their way to this World, I wanted to use one who died, and encounter chance would be reduced. The last thing I wanted at the moment was to blow my cover.
After looking into man's memories, Pakunoda shot a few bullets to all of us to see what she saw. I have to remunerate Crow though, he was very good at making memories. All Troupe flew into a temper, and Feitan cut man's head off. That solves the problem.
"Did you find anything about their whereabouts?" asked Lucilfer.
"Yes, they are going to NGL to recruit an army. I don't know the details, but all higher ranks went to NGL." said Pakunoda.
NGL was an abbreviation for Neo-Green Life. NGL was a self-governed country and part of the Mitene Union. Following the death of Ming Jol-ik, it was briefly put in the custody of the International Security Agency, which dismantled it and made an uninhabited nature reserve of its territory. It was then placed under the jurisdiction of the Hunter Association.
The Chimera Queen created its Den in this Country and started to spread from this point. Because it was closed to the outside, the Hunter Association didn't hear the news about Chimera Ants until it was too late. Making it impossible to prevent King's birth. It would be impossible to locate the Brotherhood of Steel in that country. If my plans work, Phantom Troupe will be there to clash with Chimera Ants. They will help my quest, and I will weaken them.
But it was still too early to go there. If I let Troupe go now, there was still a chance to eliminate the Brotherhood of Steel.
"May I speak, boss?" I asked Lucilfer. She nod and I continue, "As far as I know, the army going to appear in NGL is from Dark Continent!" I dropped the bomb. Dark Continent was one of the biggest taboo and mystery of this world.
The Dark Continent is the world that doesn't appear on the world map. Other types of human beings live there. It is also said that it's where the Magical Beasts come from. The known world where normal humans live is inside a great lake called Mobius in the Dark Continent. In reality, the ancestors of the human race have apparently originated from the Dark Continent, as the deciphering of myths and the study of ancient ruins seem to testify.
At the end of each of the five successful voyages, as collateral damage, humanity brought back Five Great Calamities. After that, the expedition of Dark Continent banned. Every Hunter would dream to go there. In a few years from now, the full-scale expedition will start, but even Crow doesn't know the further details.
After I mentioned the Dark Continent, everybody got more serious. Every adept fighter in this World, know of Dark Continent and its dangers. "The army of monsters going to appear in NGL and spread to World from there. Brotherhood of Steel and even Vigilant of Stendarr will be there to fight against them. If we go there now, they may trap us. But if we wait for the army of monsters to appear, we can trap them, while they fight against to army!" I didn't know if Lucilfer would listen to me or not, but this was my best shot. I had to stall them little further.
