Chapter 183 The Call of the Lost Property
Hunter professions are diverse and varied.
There are some weird professions among them, such as the so-called cute hunter.
Just looking at this occupational prefix, it is difficult for you to imagine what the specific job is.
In comparison, the hunter mentioned by Kang Zai is much more straightforward.
As the name suggests, someone helps people find things.
From small items like contact lenses to big things like missing persons, they are all within the scope of work of the found object hunter.
This hidden object hunter from the association is named Lu Pei Hailando.
Kang Zai didn't like this guy very much, but in order to solve the source of "the thought of death after death" as soon as possible, he contacted Lu Pei immediately.
Finally, after negotiating the price, Lu Pei immediately set off from the Hunter Association Building. It would take about three or four days to get to Haozhu City.
But the most difficult problem has been solved by Moro, so Kang Zai and Nian Ze are not so anxious.
"Lu Pei is from the Guild Leader faction, which is why I hate him."
When talking to Moro about why he hates Lu Pei, Kang Zai simply gave the reason.
Hearing Kang Zai's explanation, Moreau looked strange, "There is still such a faction in the association?"
"What's so strange about this."
Kang Zai curled his lips, "The association itself is a rare platform and springboard. Many professional hunters want to use this springboard to go further, so they are keen on doing small tricks and pulling, pulling - well, how do you say that word?"
"Pfft, cough cough——""
Nianze, who was drinking tea next to him, was suddenly choked and coughed in a low voice.
Kang Zai grinned and said angrily: "How could it be ramen!"
"So it's not ramen?"
Morro smiled and said: "Then I guess what you want to say is forming a gang."
"Yes, that's the word!"
Kang Zai glared at Moreau and said angrily, "You did it on purpose, right?"
"So, the Presidential Dissociation Faction is a small group with different ideas from President Netero?"
Faced with Kang Zai's question, Moreau directly brought the topic back on track.
Kangzai nodded and said: "Yes, these idiots have always thought highly of themselves, and they actually think that President Netero's ideas have lagged behind the times. Although there are hawks with more radical ideas among the twelve earthly branches, at least they are not that arrogant."
"Oh."
Moro was thoughtful.
After listening to what Kang Zai said, he had some impressions, and some vague memories gradually became clear. It is true that in the Hunter Association, in addition to the factions among the twelve earthly branches, there are other factions.
When it comes to the Anti-President Faction, the image of the "Revival Trio" directly comes to Morrow's mind.
Hmm, I forgot the name.
I just remember that in the election chapter, this trio shouted the slogan of restoring the "Glory of Qinglin Team", and then were eliminated by Hisoka like a chopping of melons and vegetables.
Although Moreau forgot the name of the trio, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a two-star member among them.
However, star rating is more about contribution to the benchmarking industry than strength.
Hence, it is obviously meaningless to use star ratings to judge strength.
"Lu Pei, the hidden object hunter, I think of it, he is one of the three people."
Morrow thought in his heart.
Kang Zai looked at Moreau, who was thinking, and said: "When Lu Pei comes, there is a high probability that he will take a fancy to your ability, and then try his best to invite you to join them."
"How could it be, I am not a professional hunter."
Moreau shook his head.
Kang Zai said: "With your ability, as long as you take the hunter test, you will definitely get a hunter's license. Besides, you have been 'borrowing' my hunter's license several times. I don't believe you don't want to take the test yourself. It's a matter of time."
Moro smiled and said: "Anyway, I have no interest in factions and power struggles."
"Well, you can see that." Kangzai nodded, and then sighed, "If you become a member of the association, you will definitely get along with President Nitro."
"Why do you say that?" Moro asked curiously.
Like President Luo, he is a pure martial arts lunatic, and most of his thoughts are on how to become stronger.”
What shocked Kang Zai after not seeing him for several months was not only the powerful mind-killing ability displayed by Moro.
There are also changes in strength.
To be honest - he felt that Moreau's growth rate was simply too unscientific.
Regarding Kang Zai's statement, Moreau just smiled and did not answer.
A few days later, Lu Pei finally arrived.
When he came, Moreau happened to be removing the thoughts of death for a newly appeared "thought recipient".
I don’t know what the third princess Eve did. There are always people in this city who are inexplicably attached to the thoughts of death.
Because Nianze has a reputation of "hospitalizing a patient", these recipients who mistakenly believe that they are infected with the disease will take the initiative to come to the temple to seek help from Nianze.
This virtually saves the trouble of finding these recipients.
However, Nianze did not deliberately cover up the behavior of sheltering the recipients.
So the third princess is most likely aware of it, but there has been no movement.
Maybe she doesn't care about this kind of thing at all.
Lu Pei, led by a young monk, stopped outside the door and quietly watched Moreau remove the thoughts of death for a recipient.
"A mind-eliminating master who can purify thoughts after death——!
Seeing Moreau's ability to eliminate thoughts, Lu Pei's eyes flashed behind his lenses.
< br/> This is a rare talent.
In the wide hall, both Kang Zai and Nian Ze noticed Lu Pei's arrival.
Moro also looked at Lu Pei.
It was similar to the impression he recalled, that of a black man wearing glasses.
Since the light inadvertently swept over the opponent's left hand, one could clearly feel that the thought energy there was stronger than in other parts.
Is it a manifestation system? -
Just through the subtle difference in thought energy on Lu Pei's left hand, Moreau came to a basic judgment.
Lu Pei didn't notice Moro's sizing behavior. He slowly suppressed the urge to talk to Moro and turned his eyes to Kang Zai.
Professional hunters usually focus on entrustment, and Lu Pei is no exception.
"Mr. Kang Zai, should the search for the object begin immediately, or according to your arrangements?"
"Immediately."
Kang Zai said calmly.
Lu Pei had no objection and nodded slowly.
Ten minutes later.
Several people gathered in the Zen room.
In front of Moro, Kang Zai, and Nian Ze, Lu Pei directly used his telepathy ability.
"The Call of Lost Things"
Lu Pei's left hand was filled with thoughts, condensing into a slightly bloated palm at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This palm is larger than normal. Looking at the wrist, it is actually hollow, more like a weird glove.
"This is my ability, the call of lost things."
Lu Pei gently held the palm that seemed to be made of silicone and explained:
“Before activating the ability to find objects, the seeker needs to wear this palm and draw an outline of what he is looking for. It does not need to be exactly the same, but he must have the emotion of "I want to find it", so that he can establish a connection with the "lost object". "
After explaining the conditions for activating the ability, Lu Pei immediately looked at Kang Zai.
Kang Zai looked at Moro, casting a vague look of reassurance.
Him Morrow received Kang Zai's gaze and said proactively: "I'll paint it."
Him As he said this, he carefully looked at the palm that had been transformed into a landing gear.
If this palm can really find objects accurately, it will undoubtedly be extremely convenient.
And this person is probably not a martial artist. The telekinesis ability he has developed is purely to serve his own profession.
He has no combat power at all.
The reason for disclosing ability information so easily is probably because he does not need to fight.
Morrow took the palm from Lu Pei.
The touch feels the same as a real hand, but it is cold and lukewarm, as if you are touching the hand of a corpse.
Lu Pei said: "Put it on, and then draw a picture."
Moro put his hand in after hearing this.
This item's palm is a bit larger than normal. I thought it would look loose, but I didn't expect that after wearing it, it was as close as a layer of skin, and it fit extremely well.
"This ability should have the characteristics of both the materialization system and the operation system -"
While Moreau thought to himself, he picked up the pen and followed Lu Pei's instructions just now to outline the appearance of the harp in his mind and slowly drew the outline.
A few minutes later.
A harp whose shape can be roughly seen appears on the drawing paper.
At this moment, the searching palm in Moreau's hand suddenly showed bright thoughts, and he took it off and landed next to the drawing paper.
"Oh, oh!"
The palm was raised upward, and a mouth appeared in the palm, from which a slightly sharp male voice came out.
"I smell, um, a pretty strong smell."
There was a sense of excitement in the sound of his palms. He immediately leaned directly on the pattern on the drawing paper, rubbed it back and forth a few times, then opened his mouth in the palm of his hand and nibbled on the drawing paper bit by bit.
Lu Pei gently pushed the frame of the mirror with his palm, and said calmly: "I didn't expect it to be successful in the first time."
Kang Zai looked at him in disbelief and asked, "With this kind of activation condition, can it still fail?"
Lu Pei calmly explained: "Absolutely. The rate is part of the constraint, but it ultimately depends on whether the finder really wants to find the lost object. If I can't establish an emotional connection with the lost object through my ability, then even if I can't find it, it's not my fault. "
"In other words, as long as the connection is established, you can definitely find it, right?"
Kangzai only cares about this.
Lu Pei shook his head and explained: "Even if a connection is established with the lost object, if the emotion is not strong enough, it may affect the sense of direction of the hand looking for the object. So as I just said, whether the lost object can be found depends on the searcher's ability. Sincerely."
"Huh?"
Kang Zai's mouth twitched a few times, and he couldn't help but complain, "The final right of interpretation belongs to you, right?"
Lu Pei stopped talking.
If his ability did not have these constraints, he would not be able to achieve the effect of accurately finding objects.
Furthermore, if there was no such restriction that would affect the success rate, he would have already become a three-star object-finding ability with outstanding achievements due to his ability.
Instead of not getting even one star now.
Morrow was observing the movements of the searching hand while listening to the conversation between Kang Zai and Lu Pei.
In his opinion, although Lu Pei's lost object calling has many limitations, it covers a wide range of areas. If it can ensure the accuracy of finding objects, it can be regarded as a quite rare ability.
Morrow suddenly thought of the piece of paper found in Nolan's safe that looked like a treasure map.
That piece of leather paper only used simple drawings of some mountains, forests and rivers, with no accompanying text descriptions and no so-called coordinates.
I wonder if Lu Pei’s lost property call can find the location on the piece of paper.
While Moros was away, the searching hand had already eaten the entire drawing.
「Oh, oh!」
The searching hand made a strange ending sound, and then shouted: "I feel it, it's in that direction!"
It used the thumb and little finger as a foothold, held up the entire palm, and then raised the middle finger to point in one direction.
Lu Pei was startled and said: "This is the first time I have seen the sound of the hand searching for an object being so loud. From this point of view, there is basically no problem."
Judge the accuracy of finding an object based on the loudness of the sound?
Kang Zai is no longer able to complain.
Morrow noticed a message from Lu Pei's words and asked: "When it is guiding the direction, shouldn't it keep shouting like it is now?"
"Yes."
Lu Pei nodded.
Morrow could not help but remain silent.
The so-called establishing a connection with emotion is because he directly extracts the emotional memory fragments from the thoughts of death,
Therefore, he can easily meet the conditions for activating this ability.
I just didn’t expect that in addition to these restrictions, the Searching Hand actually has a setting that is almost like a mind beast, and it also comes with a loud voice.
He always felt that even if the searching hand did not make a sound, it would not affect the overall framework of the ability at all.
Unless it is influenced by the personality of the ability user, some unnecessary characteristics are given to the ability in a subtle way.
Morrow even thought that if Lu Pei was killed by Hisoka like in the original work, and then his abilities were retained in the form of thoughts after death, he might be able to overcome these limitations and become perfect.
Because in a sense, once the thoughts of death are formed, it also means that some unnecessary qualities will be removed.
After meeting the activation conditions of "Call of Lost Things", Morrow and his group immediately set out with the hand of finding things,
while Nianze stayed in the temple.
"Over there, I feel it - it's waiting for me!"
"It's almost there, it's almost there, it turns out it's so close to me!"
The finding hand was put on Lu Pei's hand, and he used his middle finger to guide the direction while making a strong voice.
Morrow and Kangzai agreed that this thing was too noisy and there was nothing they could do about it.
The three of them came all the way to the outside of Haozhu City. Under the guidance of the hand that found the object, they headed straight in one direction.
Kang Zai raised his brows and realized something.
Morrow glanced at him sideways.
Kang Zai said with some uncertainty: "That thing shouldn't be in the royal tomb in Gu Ganyu."
"The royal tomb?"
Mo Luohu reacted.
By the way, Guganyu is different from other V5 countries. It is not surprising that there are royal tombs left.
"If we are really in the royal tomb, we will be in trouble."
Kang Zai frowned.
The tombs of royal members of superpowers, even if it is just the resting place of a princess, are not accessible to outsiders.
