After all, the practice of Nen pays great attention to personal will and spirit.
During this year and more, he also returned to Glam Gas Land a few times. The circus was no longer there...
He heard that since performing at the Glam Gas Land Hotel, Moritonio, who was known as a performance master, had disappeared, and no one knew where he went...
The circus continued to participate in some performances in Glam Gas Land, but its reputation plummeted.
The audience didn't seem to buy it, and later on, the performers left... and continued their life as wandering entertainers.
"Abaki should have left the troupe too, right..."
Oboro thought.
The girl should inherit Moritonio's dream and become a Hunter.
He returned to Glam Gas Land, which was still extremely prosperous, with people coming and going on the streets. Even in broad daylight, it was very lively.
There were many performers setting up stalls on the roadside, clowns handing out balloons to children, girls dancing hot dances to music, and skilled performers spitting fire, attracting applause...
There were stilt walkers and jugglers...
Oboro stood outside the crowd and glanced at them. He had stayed in the circus for a while, so he could see the techniques of these street performers at a glance.
They were very unskilled. It was estimated that they had practiced at home for ten days and a half months before coming out to perform.
"Hehe... It seems that the Moritonio Circus still brought some influence and changes to Glam Gas Land."
Oboro smiled slightly.
Most of the performers in the open-air venues are circus acts, which shows that... the outside world also knows that a circus became popular here a year and a half ago, and they all came to make money by imitating the former.
However, what people remember more is Moritonio's 'Sky Swimming'. As for small fries like him and Hisoka, no one would notice.
Afterwards, he got a haircut and bought a set of clothes, returning to the appearance of an ordinary person and reintegrating into the life of the big city.
In addition, he also bought a mobile phone.
His savings didn't spend much during this year and a half, and there was still some left... Eating, drinking, and shitting could all be solved in the mountains.
"Next, I'm going to the Republic of Padokea, to the Heavens Arena!" In a room at a small hotel, Oboro looked at the few Jenny in his wallet and sighed softly.
There's still too little money... He needs to make money, he needs to live.
In addition, although the foundation of Nen has been consolidated very well... Oboro knows what his current shortcomings are.
Lack of combat experience... He needs a lot of actual combat to enrich his means and ideas for using Nen. He can't be like Hisoka, who has a natural combat instinct. He can only grow little by little through acquired efforts.
And if there is any place... where you can make money quickly and have fights every day, it must be the Heavens Arena.
Although the strength of Nen users in the Heavens Arena is uneven, except for the floor masters who are more powerful, many of them are even at the level of salted fish... But for Oboro, these people are enough as guinea pigs for training.
After resting well for a day, the next day, Oboro, wearing a white shirt, black casual pants, sunglasses, and short hair, appeared at the long-distance station in Glam Gas Land, bought a ticket, and prepared to take an airship to the Republic of Padokea.
The airships in this world travel much slower than airplanes on Earth. He will need at least a few days to reach his destination this time.
And speaking of the Republic of Padokea, in addition to the Heavens Arena, we must mention Kukuroo Mountain, where the Zoldyck family is located.
"Killua is probably used to the hellish life by now..."
Sitting on a chair in the waiting hall, Oboro raised the corners of his mouth.
Counting the time, Killua should be four years old now... As the next generation that the Zoldyck family has high hopes for and has the most outstanding potential, the growth environment that Killua has to experience... is not ordinary.
From the age of three, he has to undergo terrifying assassin training, and now, a year has passed...
While thinking, Oboro sensed the seat sinking, and someone sat down on the empty seat in the same row as him.
The waiting hall is very spacious. Although there are many passengers taking the airship, there are still many seats...
Oboro subconsciously glanced at the person who came.
Immediately, his eyes under the sunglasses shrank.
A man with long black hair and distinctive clothing was sitting a few meters away.
His skin was fair, and his face was young... about the same age as him.
The only difference was that the man's facial features... the expression between his eyebrows was extremely stiff, it was hard to say whether it was dull or indifferent, and he also exuded a cold feeling invisibly.
Even some of the passengers nearby, after seeing him sit down, consciously got up and changed seats.
Soon, this row of seats was empty, leaving only Oboro and the other person.
"I really am..."
Oboro calmed the throbbing in his heart.
Speak of the devil, and the devil appears. He had just thought of the Zoldyck family, and someone came... But it wasn't Killua who came, but... Illumi Zoldyck!
Oboro likes to call him Illumi... a guy whose danger level is no less than Hisoka's...
Birds of a feather flock together. The fact that Hisoka and Illumi can 'play' together in later generations speaks volumes.
As a transmigrator, Oboro had thought of many scenarios where he would meet plot characters... But he didn't expect that Illumi would be in Glam Gas Land, and would appear in such an ordinary, everyday way...
It appeared vividly before his eyes.
Oboro was afraid that he had recognized the wrong person, so he looked at him a few more times.
Although his hair is not as long as it will be in later generations... he is too familiar with this outfit.
The unique aura will make people subconsciously ignore the maturity of his appearance... According to the timeline, Illumi is only sixteen at this time, Oboro is eighteen, and Hisoka is nineteen.
"Alas... I should have checked the almanac before going out... Unfortunately, there is no such thing as an almanac in this world..."
Oboro thought to himself.
As a member of the Zoldyck family, Oboro could guess what Illumi was doing in Glam Gas Land with his ass, naturally it was business... killing people.
The Zoldyck family's motto is that as long as you give enough money, you can kill anyone...
Suddenly, Oboro's heart tightened, maintaining his composure... because Illumi next to him got up, walked towards him, and sat in the next seat, the two of them sitting closely together.
"Do you... recognize me?"
Illumi turned his neck stiffly, issuing a question without any emotional fluctuations.
A pair of gray, lonely, and deep eyes made his gaze carry an unspeakable sense of oppression.
Too sensitive!
He just took a few more glances...
However, since the other party took the initiative to talk to him, Oboro couldn't keep silent.
He looked at the other party with a surprised expression and smiled slightly: "No... I just think your clothes are quite special."
"Oh."
Illumi responded, and then... turned his head back.
But he didn't leave, he just sat in front... The two of them fell into a very strange silence and awkward atmosphere.
Oboro didn't know if he was doing it on purpose, or...
Time passed little by little. Passengers kept entering and leaving the hall, but some people, after seeing the two of them, tacitly gave way, and even if they were standing, they wouldn't come over to sit in the empty seats.
"..."
Oboro.
"Passengers, please note that the airship from Glam Gas Land to the Republic of Padokea is about to depart. Please prepare your tickets and pass through the inspection in order."
Finally, the staff's announcement sounded in the hall.
Oboro slowly got up and headed to the passage.
As soon as Oboro got up, Illumi followed.
The two seemed to be on the same flight.
But without warning, Oboro sensed a very weak Nen being emitted from behind.
At the same time that he was warned... Illumi took action, his arm became a blur, and he shot a Nen needle towards the back of Oboro's head.
With a whoosh.
As if he had eyes on the back of his head, Oboro tilted his head and dodged. The sharp weapon flew past his scalp and pierced into a stone pillar not far away, leaving a hole that looked like it had been shot through by a bullet.
It can be seen how terrifying the power of this attack is...
Whoosh...
The sneak attack from behind failed, and Illumi flicked again, throwing several Nen needles towards several vital parts of Oboro's body.
This time, Oboro didn't dodge, but unscrupulously erupted with Nen, forming a protective layer on his body surface. There were only a few crisp sounds of tinkling, and Illumi's Nen needles were like they had hit a steel plate, and were bounced off and landed on the ground.
Oboro slowly turned around, his eyes under the sunglasses were very cold, staring at Illumi.
"Hmm... You are indeed a Nen user."
It was as if Illumi didn't think there was anything wrong with suddenly killing Oboro and launching a sneak attack. Instead, he said lightly.
This appearance... It seems that he just wanted to simply test it out. As for whether he offended Oboro, he didn't care.
Oboro moved his fingers. In the next second, his big hand was like a pair of iron pliers, directly fanning towards Illumi's temple.
The fierce palm wind even stirred up a gust of air, making a muffled sound.
But when the palm hit Illumi, there was no feeling of touching a solid object... The figure of Illumi in front of him became scattered and disappeared in place.
Killing technique!
The secret of the Zoldyck family.
As a famous assassin family, the Zoldyck people have been learning techniques specifically used for killing since they were young... such as Silent Step, Body Bending, and Snake Movement (Claws, Rhythm Echo, Silent Gaits, Snake Awakens). Killua also knows them.
Like Illumi, he started working at a young age, and he doesn't know how many people have died at his hands.
It can be said that Illumi's combat experience is absolutely unimaginably experienced.
Oboro's pupils shrank. Just as he was about to react, a black shadow had already sneaked over behind him, and a ray of silver light flashed. The sharp tip of the Nen needle was only a few centimeters away from Oboro's cochlea.
Bang!
Just as Oboro was about to be hit due to his slow reaction, suddenly, Oboro bent over and swung his elbow back in one go, and his arm hit Illumi's abdomen.
Illumi's numb face finally had a slight change for the first time.
