The new ability of the Mesivi is officially called "Ritual Of Three Dimensional Curse."
She had two sub-abilities inside of her own ability. As a specialist with huge potential and capability, she was a powerful nen user in her own way.
Not that powerful in terms of fighting against other nen users in a direct combat but still capable enough to protect herself against most of the threats.
"The Three Dimensional Curse."
"After fulfilling up to three conditions and using a Life Gem according to the target, Mesivi is able to curse the target from a distance."
"The curse power depends on the conditions and life gem that is performed for the target and how dangerous and powerful the target is in the first place."
"Life Gem."
"A conjuration sub-ability that lets her store the life of others via conditions such as killing the target with a specific item."
"The Life Gem can also be used for a fundamental need for other nen users."
All members of the Matilda Royal Guards who are using life sacrifices one way or another need the Life Gem of Mesivi to use their ability.
This need and dependence on a single nen user and their ability made their ability even more powerful than it could become.
"For a three-dimensional curse..."
"I need his blood, saliva, something that is part of his DNA; this is the first condition."
"The second would be a trigger point; he should enter or touch an object that I select beforehand."
"The third would be the curse itself. I can create a "three-dimensional nen room" to crush him down using nen to get the room smaller; there is still a chance to resist, but due to my ability and harshness of the first two conditions and one hundred lives, it would be nigh-impossible."
"In a sense, as long as I can get his "DNA" and lead them to hold on to an object that I choose or enter a room that I place the trigger condition..."
"He would be crushed to death by the curse in the end..."
Still, planning and taking action were much different.
Mesivi knew and read about Conrad and his capabilities. She knew that he was no easy target.
"I must start..."
"I need to find him first." Mesivi thought and then left the room.

Conrad placed all of his obelisks instead of just using several of them.
He trusted himself, but he was not delusional enough to turn his confidence into arrogance.
After every obelisk was placed, Conrad went to the dining area and walked around to find something to eat.
He was carefree but also focused all around his surroundings.
In any case, if he notices suspicious behavior from a passenger. He would vanish for a moment and then watch the target with his obelisk.
Right now, from Floor 5 to Floor 2, all of it is rooms under his eyes with no problem.
The only area he cannot see for certain is Floor 1, but that was the machine area, and there is no real reason to put any obelisk at that place.
Conrad came to the open buffet area and then took a plate and took some food for himself.
Everything was included in the ticket, so there was no need to pay.
After he prepared his plate filled with food, he went to a corner table and sat down as he started eating.
While eating, his ennui hidden but always active, his eyes kept on looking at any passenger.
He was not looking for a direct behavior. Like stalking and acting different than a normal passenger.
He was looking for an individual that acts too much like a passenger trying to fit in.
"Humans, especially nen users, are different from most of the ordinary humans in terms of behavior and actions."
"Even if any individual here targets me and tries to hide themselves around the people. With some focus and experience, I should be able to tell it."
"The enemy, if there are any here, should know that I will be looking for them."
"Which makes them more prone to make mistakes than a normal mission..."
Conrad ate his food and drank some beer on the side for the time being and continued to pass his time.
After he finished his food, he took his plate and carried it to the trash, dropping the remainder.
He placed the used plate on the side table where the used plates are placed and then left the area.
He went to the toilet and entered a cabin and then closed his eyes to watch the buffet area.
Now that he left the area, he wanted to see if anybody spends more than the usual amount of time in the places he has been.
"Hmm."
Two minutes later, he noticed a woman, a simple green dress, and a cocktail drink in her hand.
She looked a pretty ordinary young woman with a normal build in terms of physique.
"Strange," Conrad thought.
A moment later, he noticed something.
She first walked back and forth around his table, and then she turned and then went to the side table area where the empty plates are placed and then started looking at them and then nodded.
"Oh..."
"She took one plate from there..."
"I..."
"I am not sure if it was mine, but this behavior is not something usual."
"Why would a relatively rich passenger of Diamond Airship, a woman, take a dirty plate..."
"She also spent some time around my table to look for something."
Conrad grinned and nodded.
"Okay..."
"I've seen enough."
"She must have some connection."
"Now that I know her, the threat of her is pretty diminished."
"If I think logically, she must be a nen user."
"Maybe she needs something that belonged to me for some time to use her nen ability in some way."
"It would not be too far-fetched to think."
"I may not be right in terms of conditions of her ability..."
"But she is no ordinary woman..."
As Conrad watched the woman more, he also noticed that her style of walking, eyes, and everything did not fall in line with a young woman.
She was more of a scorpion than a woman.
