Chapter 325: The Pledge of Vengeance
Meteor Street is a gray area not recognized by any country.
This was originally an area designated by the dictator to implement the racial segregation policy.
But as time goes by, it gradually evolves into a special existence that is not subject to political constraints.
Because it has never been given the status of a country, Meteor Street has been used as a natural garbage disposal site by countries around the world since 1500 years ago.
Here, the definition of garbage is infinitely expanded.
Not only daily waste, but also household bodies and abandoned babies are also thrown away here.
Today, nearly ten million residents have gathered in this desolate land, but governments still insist on claiming that Meteor Street is uninhabited.
Behind this tacit lie, it is simply that the world needs a corner where garbage can be dumped without any responsibility.
It's just that no matter what is abandoned here, the residents of Meteor Street will take it all.
They rely on the garbage discarded by the outside world to maintain their lives.
As a result, a wonderful mutually beneficial relationship was formed.
The world needs a place where garbage can be dumped at will, and the residents of Meteor Street need this garbage to ensure their daily survival.
However, with the changes of the times, the international situation has become increasingly peaceful and stable.
·On the upper level, there are various international treaties with strong binding force. On the lower level, all countries have perfect laws, but Meteor Street is not among them.
It is essentially a world garbage dump, not a country recognized by an international coalition.
Hence, the residents living here do not have any social identity certificate from birth.
Without identification, it means that you cannot enjoy the rights and protections from society.
Based on this point of view, in the eyes of some outsiders, the lives of the residents of Meteor Street are not even as important as the protected animals in various countries.
Hunting exists without having to worry about being convicted.
It's like...
Hands up a bow and a gun, and then randomly kills an overrun hare in the wild.
However, in the face of this wanton hunting behavior, Meteor Street did not sit still and wait for death.
In order to seek protection, the elders of Meteor Street chose to join forces with the gang.
They provide rare talents to the gangs, and in return, the gangs will send them large quantities of weapons and precious metals in the form of dumping garbage.
As the cooperation between Meteor Street and gangs continued to deepen, people with telekinesis abilities appeared among the elders of Meteor Street, and the oath of "revenge must be taken" was also formed.
(Note: The setting of the oath to retaliate is from the original comic information.)
This idea of revenge, which was promoted by many factors such as environment, experience, and emotion, eventually became a self-proclaimed trait of Meteor Street.
With this characteristic style, people around the world began to fear Meteor Street,
The Phantom Troupe was born during this period.
They truly carry forward the characteristics of "revenge" and "never take away anything".
Hence why the residents of Meteor Street all recognize or admire the existence of the Phantom Troupe. Even the elders in charge of Meteor Street believe that the Phantom Troupe is an indispensable existence for Meteor Street.
This is not only because of the sense of identity, but more importantly, the strength.
Over the years, the Phantom Troupe has brought great changes in interests to the entire Meteor Street with its ruthless methods and powerful strength, and even changed part of the layout of this wasteland.
I thought this status quo could continue forever.
Unexpectedly, the Phantom Troupe would be led by a bounty hunter named Kurapika to eliminate them.
And because of the characteristic "revenge" style, some residents of Meteor Street who worked under the Ten Old Man Demons took revenge on Kurapika without authorization.
It doesn’t matter if it just fails.
After all, in Meteor Street, sacrifice is the norm for survival.
But the problem is that these people directed the hatred that should have been between Meteor Street and Kurapika directly to the Ten Old Men.
As a result, the ten old men suffered heavy losses.
In addition, the incident happened during the Youkesin auction.
This is the most important annual event for the Ten Old Men.
The result can be imagined. In anger, the ten old men directly cut off most of the resource supply to Meteor Street.
The reason why it was not completely cut off was probably because it was unwilling to give up the cradle of talents like Meteor Street.
This is equivalent to giving Meteor Street some room for redemption.
Hence, the elders naturally attach great importance to subsequent relationship repair.
It's just that after confirming that the ten old men would not kill them all, they paid more attention to how to create a new Phantom Troupe.
After this proposal came out, it was unanimously approved without any surprise.
After all, no one is blind, and they clearly understand the importance of the Phantom Troupe to Meteor Street.
"Chrollo has proven that this road works, and there is no reason for us to give up halfway."
"That's right, the ten old men haven't completely turned away yet, which means there is still room for change, and the matter of repairing the relationship can be postponed for a while."
"Since we don't have to exchange resources with the gangs for the time being, we should quickly select a team that can replace Chrollo and the others."
At the corner of the dilapidated wooden table, an old man wearing a semi-open gas mask stretched out his right hand.
The right hand that emerged from Hang's dirty sleeve was a metal prosthesis that was half corroded, and was placed on the slightly decayed table slowly but quite heavily.
"No matter how many times we fail, we must fulfill our oath to take revenge -
The breathing valve of the gas mask trembled slightly with his cold words,
Everyone present nodded silently.
These things are very important to the entire Meteor Street.
This is related to their way of survival.
Morrow, who is helping Kurapika to strengthen the resting place of the Kuluta tribe, naturally does not know that Meteor Street wants to continue the path taken by the Phantom Troupe.
It is even less clear that Meteor Street's persistence in "revenge" can be said to be outrageous.
Even if he knew these things, it would only deepen his desire to bombard Meteor Street.
If you are not satisfied with the beating, it can only be because the beating is not painful enough.
After a while.
The reinforcement plan for the resting place of the Kuluta tribe has been completed.
With the existence of these divine words with different effects, it is basically guaranteed that this sleeping place will not be disturbed by anyone.
In the process of setting up these divine characters, Moreau actually referred to the previous idea of integrating the divine characters into the "illusion"
.
After this practical operation, some ideas in my mind became clearer.
It's just that the most difficult step is always the ability to forcibly teleport others.
It also includes the ability to teleport directly into the illusion.
Morrow has no idea yet.
The only things he could refer to were the mobile cards on Greed Island and the memory of the "Drift Bottle" extracted from the thoughts after death.
But after a day's rest, Moreau suddenly thought of the Tree Hole Organization.
Those cabinets used to store things seem to have some kind of space teleportation ability, which can directly teleport specific items over long distances.
The business of Shudong Organization is based on this.
"When you go to get the scabbard, see if you can take the opportunity to observe it."
Morrow stored the Sheath of Yuanna in the tree hole before participating in the hunter test, and he has not gone to pick it up yet.
It is a good opportunity to take this opportunity to carefully observe the operating mechanism of the cabinets organized in the tree hole.
It would be best if you can find something.
Two days later.
Morrow chose a nearby pawnshop in a tree hole.
He was quite familiar with the matter of deposit and withdrawal, so he led Kurapika into the pawn shop.
This was Kurapika's first time at the Shudong Pawn Shop, and he looked at the surrounding environment with some curiosity.
"This is the tree hole that is as famous as the "Thousand-Ear Club" - I didn't expect it to look so ordinary. 》
Before coming, he had only heard some information about the tree hole.
As for the Thousand-Ears Association, it is an intermediary organization that specializes in introducing jobs for people with telekinesis abilities.
As for the jobs that can be introduced by Qian Er Gui, it goes without saying that they are difficult and the rewards are relatively high.
Kurapika had gone to the Thousand-Ears Club in order to make money before.
But although the pay from those jobs was generous, it was not enough to support Kurapika's expenses.
Morrow glanced at Kurapika and said with a smile: "It is indeed very common, but it is much easier to find than the "Thousand-Ear Club". "
"Hmm."
Kurapika thought that he had spent a lot of effort to find a stronghold of the Thousand-ear Club. In contrast, these pawn shops open to the public in Shudong were indeed easier to find.
Afterwards, Moro took Kurapika through the iron gate and went to the basement of every tree hole pawn shop.
After walking up the stairs to the basement, the air was filled with the faint smell of candlelight.
It is also a long table and many cabinets against the wall.
Every pawn shop in Shudong has the same furnishings.
But this time the staff member of the tree cave who received Moreau was no longer the old man before, but a middle-aged woman with a serious expression and wearing thick black-rimmed glasses.
Morrow walked to the long table and placed the copper coins for taking things on the table.
The middle-aged woman picked up the copper coin without saying a word. After confirming the authenticity and number, she turned and walked towards the row of cabinets.
When Moreau saw this, he silently gathered his thoughts in his eyes, watching the middle-aged woman's every move.
Ka.
The middle-aged woman pulled out one of the cabinets and reached out to take out the Sheath of Yunna.
Morrow's eyes moved slightly. When the cabinet door was opened and closed, through some gaps, he saw faint ripples of thought energy in the cabinet, as well as a small amount of faintly shining divine lines.
"Sure enough, once the number of such long-distance fixed-point transmission items increases, something like a divine character is needed to assist in enhancing the ability effect, otherwise it cannot be done by one person alone."
Seen the signs of the divine character, Moreau calmly put away his concentration.
After he mastered the divine words, he suspected that the ability of the tree hole might be like Greed Island, using the functionality of the divine words.
Now that he has confirmed this with his own eyes, Moreau feels that it is more feasible to set up teleportation capabilities in the illusion.
But this matter is not urgent.
Morrow took back the Sheath of Yuanna and turned around to leave with Kurapika.
After leaving the pawn shop, the two of them did not stay in the city for long and prepared to go directly out of the city to meet up with Chimera.
On the way to find Chimera, Moreau received a message from Kangzai.
"Chiduo has already taken care of it. You can just go to the lawyer. Why don't you go to Chiduo yourself and tell her about this? I didn't expect that she actually knew you and said she owed you a favor."
Morrow read the message and did not explain it, but replied to it. Thank you for your hard work.
"Kurapika, that well-known lawyer named Whitney, has agreed to transfer two pairs of flaming eyes to us. The price will be based on the auction price in recent years."
Morro turned his head and looked at Kurapika beside him.
According to the existing clues, a well-known international lawyer holds two pairs of flaming eyes.
For ordinary people, money may solve most problems.
But facing this kind of elite who have already stood at the top of wealth and status, the possibility of trading fiery eyes with money is almost zero.
And the international lawyer’s identity, status, and connections are like invisible barriers, making it difficult for ordinary threats or fraud to be effective.
Unless it crosses the line and adopts more violent means.
But Kurapika's kindness restricted this idea like a lock.
His bottom line is, at most, threats and deception.
Moro only made one phone call and helped Kurapika solve this problem.
Kurapika looked surprised.
Morrow shook the mobile phone in his hand and said: "This is the importance of 'connections'. 》
In order to resolve this matter, he thought of Chiduo's weight in the legal field, but instead of going to Chiduo directly, he asked Kang Zai to come forward.
But judging from Kang Zai's reply, Chiduo should be happy to help him do this.
I think it’s because he helped solve the snake-like mind beast issue last time.
Kurapika said nothing, but looked at Moro with eyes full of gratitude.
Moro said: "Let's go, go find the lawyer now."
Kurapika nodded slightly.
Morrow glanced at him, smiled, and put the phone away.
If it were not for the butterfly effect he brought, in his original destiny trajectory, Kurapika would have quickly accumulated wealth and connections by controlling the underworld forces of the Nosla family.
With these resources, he is fully capable of taking back all the flaming eyes except Chelidonish.
Today, although the process has changed due to his intervention, with his assistance, the result is still the same.
A few days later.
Morrow and Kurapika finally arrived in the bustling city where the lawyer was located.
Because Chimera was too conspicuous and the city's prosperity radiated to surrounding areas, they had to land in the outer suburbs.
After that, I changed several modes of transportation and spent a whole day before finally entering the city center.
The two of them were walking on the bustling street and saw high-rise buildings everywhere they could see.
"It's right in front."
Moreau saw the law firm from a distance, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped.
Even though he was in the endless flow of people, his keen perception still caught a hint of murderous intention.
The same is true for Kurapika.
The chain reminded him.
"It should be someone from Meteor Street again."
He met Moreau's eyes and guessed.
