September 5th. As usual, the sun rose from the east, and people greeted a new day.
However, in a suburb, at the busiest time of the morning rush hour, a series of explosions suddenly rang out.
No one could remain calm on this seemingly normal morning. The explosions were immediately followed by police sirens, ambulance sirens, and fire alarms.
The Phantom Troupe gathered near the explosion area. Phinks, standing on a red fire truck, wielded a water gun in all directions, drawing people's attention.
Meanwhile, some people in disguise entered the stores they had robbed and abandoned, freely taking what they wanted.
Paku, Korutopi, Shalnark.
Uvogin had already begun his journey. For those who were intelligence personnel, their abilities had clearly declined after losing Nen, and they couldn't contact or take care of other members. The Troupe chose this way to care for them. During this wave of robberies, they hoped they could take what they needed and embark on their own journeys.
They were restricted by the chain user. Although there were other Nen removers in the world, they were extremely difficult to find and rare. It might take them years and countless mistakes to find one. In the meantime, they wished their long-time companions could survive, receive a call from them one day, and return to the Spider.
Nobunaga followed Korutopi from a distance, watching him enter the subway. He saw him holding up money to buy a train ticket alone, ignored by others, and cut in line repeatedly. He became furious several times but restrained himself.
He continued to follow Korutopi until he boarded a long-distance train heading straight southwest.
Southwest, Meteor City. Nobunaga understood, Korutopi was going back.
Nobunaga relaxed, turned around, and went back to the Spider.
On the other side, using his "Musical Disposition," Feitan changed his appearance and followed Paku.
He saw Paku put down her gun, change into different clothes, and enter a job fair with money. She actually planned to find a job there.
Was it because she wanted to know the movements of the Yorknew City mafia? Feitan watched her choose a very low-paying job as a library receptionist, silently noted the name of the library, and left.
Where would Shalnark go?
Shalnark took a suitcase from a mall, following the chaotic crowd. He filled the suitcase with a lot of money, clothes, and some handy equipment.
The Troupe had a bank card with a large deposit, originally kept by him. He had given it to Chrollo for Neon before.
Thinking about the poverty coming for a long time, he grabbed another handful of money.
They no longer had Nen, or rather, they couldn't use Nen anymore. They had to act like normal people in everything, even wearing clothes appropriate for the season. If they wanted to climb mountains, they would need equipment.
He took out his Hunter license and assessed the situation.
He was dispensable to the Spider now. So the rest of his life should be his own. Although staying alive and waiting in a safe corner was a good choice,
if in a few years there was a chance to remove Nen and return to the Spider, would he be able to help when they return to the gang again?
He definitely couldn't be without any growth. He would probably be teased by Phinks and Feitan.
Shalnark felt that his abilities were not outstanding to start with. If he didn't improve at all, returning to the Spider would be a burden.
He took his suitcase and headed west. The opposite of east. He didn't want to return to Meteor City, and he also wanted to avoid running into Chrollo if he went east. He opened a map and looked along the west, soon seeing that the Semeruta Wetland was directly on the line.
He decided to travel, and take risks. Even without the protection of Nen, they were still experienced adventurers, especially him. He could use his phone to check information, and he was a walking encyclopedia.
He took out his "Little Devil" phone and started planning. Touchscreen phones are with Feitan.
The Semeruta Wetland that the leader talked about, poison.
Grape Spider bird eggs.
Rare animals.
He suddenly stopped, looking at the first line.
Even though he couldn't see the leader for the time being, he still acted as usual…
The Phantom Troupe had been tied together for too long. Their every word and action always instinctively thought of the Troupe first. The other members were probably the same.
How long would it take for this habit to disappear?
