(Auction X Fighting X 80%)
How is Kurapica's fever?
lt's hasn't gone down at all
lt's been more than a day now...
I hope his fever doesn't go down at all
Yeah, me too...
Hey! You just said something really crazy there, didn't you?
What? You see, if the auction ends while he's still sick.
Then he might not have to go and fight the Ryodan anymore.
l really don't think Kurapica should fight the Ryodan anymore.
l guess so... if it was really revenge he was after,
he should have just killed off the boss instead of rescuing us.
Kurapica wouldn't do something like that
lt's not exactly that,
but when l learned about Kurapica's ability, l felt he wouldn't do that
ls that one who pierces his enemy's heart with chain and makes it as his rule
His heartbeat is abnormal
lt doesn't seem to be a common fever caused by fatigue or a cold.
l see...
lf the fever doesn't break today,
you should take him to the doctor.
No, we can't...
The Ryodan guys will be on the lookout for him
Kurapica is not the only one being targeted,
Gon and killua are also.
Kurapica
Kurapica!
lf he was just trying to get revenge, then he would've used a different skill.
l wonder...
lf he was just planning to kill opponent, then he needn't do all that trouble
That's if he was facing a single enemy
Kurapica faced more than one
Even if he caught one, he wouldn't be able to kill him right away.
Oh, right...
ln that case, that skill was the best choice.
Though l really think that that skill was initially made to punish people
l guess...
Even if it was different in the beginning...
l have great companions
The Kurapica now doesn't...
But one thing is certain, we don't want him moving about for now
lf their boss doesn't return, they'll intensify their hunt for Kurapica
Oh yeah, it might just be...!
What's up now, Killua?!
The web, l tell you! The web!
Nope, nothing
l thought they'd put a bounty on Kurapica and us for sure
l wonder if they're going to look for us themselves
So...
What do you plan to do about Greed lsland?
You're going, right?
The auction...?
Yeah. That plan you were mentioning earlier had better work
lt will work, it really will!
Our budget's not even close to enough
So it's all up to that plan of Yours.
But, it's a 50/50 chance.
Earlier, you said that it was a 70% sure shot...
So, the three of us will go: me, you, and Zepile-san, okay?
Yeah, Leorio can keep an eye on Kurapica
lt's dangerous to be seen in the open,
so taking a taxi to the auction house would be best.
And so, coming back to the topic...
what's your plan?
lt's about time to spill the beans
lt's okay to tell me, isn't it?
Or would something bad happen if l heard it?
No, there isn't anything...
WHA?! l'LL TELL YOU! l'LL TELL!
Say it.
lt's kind of over dependant on others, so l didn't want you to be shocked or...
anything
Then there's no proof of your 50% success rate, is there?
Well, let me hear it.
Let's see...
l see...
lt sounds fun. Or should l say there's no other choice
Realistic and real. Why didn't l think of that?
We can pull this off, not with a 50% but with an 80% chance of success
Really?!
We can do this! We've got a chance!
What's going on with Kurapica?
l'm not sure, but he seems to be more comfortable this way.
His heartbeat is steady now,
and his fever seems to be breaking
Really? lt doesn't look that way to me
He looks like he's ignoring us and fighting against something on his own
What do you mean by 'something? Beasts me...
There's only gonna be one Greed lsland in the auction, right?
lt says in the catalogue that it's during the afternoon part of the auction
Welcome.
Patrons for the auction, l presume?
Please give us the card and the name of the person whom registered
Here! l'm Gon Freaks
Wow! An admission ticket costs 12 million zennies, eh...
We bought it with the money we got from pawning Gon's Hunter license
This is amazing...
Zepile-san, we're going now.
Oh, l'll catch up later, so go ahead
Hey, mister, why did you come here?
l wonder how much longer before it starts?
About 10 minutes
Hey.
How rude. You didn't have to run away like that
Why are these guys here? How should l know!
Don't worry
We have no intention of harming you
As for Nen.
lt doesn't necessarily dissipate after you die
ln some cases, the Nen gets stronger after death
The Chain guy is probably like that, too
lf you kill someone that has a strong grudge or hatred,
their malice becomes amazingly powerful.
Nen that is left behind will target the object of that hatred
lf the Chain guy dies, his malice will surely be aimed at our boss
lf that happens our box, who can't use Nen.
Will have to take it directly and might and up dying
The Nen of the dead is that powerful
That's why we can't kill the Chain-guy.
You're saying that l said too much, right?
That among Nen-users are a few who ca exorcise what others cast on another.
So for that reason,
we will no longer bother you
We just came by to enjoy the auction.
Um, what about Pakunoda-san?
She's dead
Oh...
Paku wanted to thank you guys
This is bad
lf she's dead,
hat means she told them Kurapica's secrets
But
if they know that their boss has Kurapica's chain in him
How could they still be so composed?
Why aren't you guys running away?
Because we're buddies!
What's wrong? Let's go already!
lf there was someone with the ability to exorcise it,
then Paku might not have had to die.
No, that wouldn't be the case.
We were completely drawn into the Chain-guy's pace
But, it's not only that...
There are a bunch of people that claim they can do it
But only a handful can actually exorcise Nen cast upon someone
Right about now, the boss will look for the Chain-guy
We know the Chain-guy's weakness
so there's no reason to rush either, is there?
All we have to do is wait
lf we can find an exorcist
Then we can exorcise the Chain-guy's chains
Thank you ladies and gentlemen for coming today.
ln this 'D' hall, we have a lot of odd and rare items in store.
l believe all rich men want to collect or buy this goods.
But to be called such is solid proof of a true collector.
An otaku's pride
Please ignore society's opinions and freely bid to your hearts content
And now, allow me to introduce our very first item
A fossilized Heozeosuraus dropping.
lt's 2 o'clock on the 6th
The 6th...
You still have a fever, so you should be resting...
What about her? What happened to the boss?
What happened to the underground auction?
Was the boss satisfied?
Another repetition of the same conversation
He doesn't want t admit that Squalla was killed and Scarlet Eyes were taken.
ls he saying that it's his fault?
lt may be that his memories are all mixed up because of the fever.
Let's hope that's it.
Our next item is the legendary game, Greed lsland!
Hey, that Joystation is weird
it isn't plugged in anywhere, but the power lights are flickering.
lt was the same for Jin's tape
You may have noticed already.
But note that this Joystation does not use electricity.
lt's running off some special power from the Greed lsland CD-room that is inside
As you have witnessed
lt's completely unscathed by that impact
lt is protected form any force by special powers of the game software inside.
As long as someone is playing within it
This is Jate Sally a pro Hunter and a player of the game
He is Hunter.
He is currently playing this game under a contract
Who donated 7 sets of these Greed lsland games worth 5.8 billion zennies each.
So Jin wasn't the one
who brought it here
As our contract
Which states that if he doesn't clear the game by January 1st, 2001
All of the games and systems are to be donated to the Southern PeaceAuction.
Unfortunately, two, players have already gamed over.
Game over?
Meaning...
ln this game, game over signifies the actual death of the player in real life
The bodies of these two players were found
and died near their respective systems
Just that
Why did they die? lt's just a game
ls it caused by that mysterious power we saw earlier?
Nen...
the Nen that was put into the game killed those people
What is it all for?
Why did Gon's dad make such a game?
This game is extremely dangerous
l would not advise it for any hesitant bidders
Only those who are prepared should bid.
What happens within the game is unseen the outer world.
Only those who are playing the game can experience it
Without further ado, l would like to start the bidding at l billion zennies
l see 1.1 billion, 1.5 billion... #105 doubles it to 3 billion,
#71 doubles it again to 6 billion.
#26 doubles it once again to 12 billion
#201 doubles it to 24 billion.
l was wondering what this meant...
ldiot! That's he signal to double they previous bid!
lt's final once its called, you must can bid it.
The Legendary Game Greed lsland,
is now at 24 billion for gentleman #201,
do l have another bidder?
lf she closes if now, we can't pay for it!
Worst-case scenario, we'll end up in jail!
Who are they? l don't know.
#16 has raised it to 25 billion.
We're saved... You should be more careful
Although, l was about to do it too... That was too close
Any other bids?
#71 for 25.5 billion.
#16...
There seems to be no other bidder
Thus the Hammer Price!
Congratulate #16 guest bought the legen dary Game Greed lsland for 30.5 billion
A rich man named Battera
willing to bought a memory card that game hasn't finished for 30.5 billion .
But no one has risen to claim the prize money yet.
So if you were to clear the game, you would get something for doing so...?
This game has risk of dying in real life
There is a chance that you won't be able to leave the game at will
What does this mean?
lt's just a game, isn't it?
That last 5 billion was a waste, wasn't it Mr. Battera?
l predicted that # 71 wouldn't have bid any higher
Could it be the 6th sense of a pro Hunter? lt all turned out well
lt shows that l would have acquired the Greed lsland game at any cost
Pardon me, Mr. Battera
We are Hunters and we would like to
help you clear the Greed lsland game.
Excuse me for laughing at you
We are pro Hunters!
Do you have a license?
Yes! lt's still at the pawn shop!
lt's true that l hire Hunters who are currently striving to clear the game
But the number that can play is limited
Even if you guys really are Hunters, l can't simply let you play.
But the catalog said that the number of players is unlimited.
lf you're just going to 'play', then everyone can.
l get it!
However, you'd need a memory card to save the data
One card per person and with the way the Joystation is set up
The maximum number of people that can play is eight
To make a long story short, l don't think we have to actually buy the game
What we're after is what's inside and not the game itself
There was information about a rich person named Battera on the Hunter site
Who was offering rewards for the game and cleared game data. right?
l bet that person will be going to this auction.
lf he collected game data, then l think he'll look for people to play the game.
Don't try to buy the game by overdoing it,
but rather, try to get hired try the person that buys it.
l thought right work too, but then again, l guess our plan failed.
lf in order to tie up all 36 blocks of the memory card?
How do you know that?
We have a save data for Greed lsland
Have you guys played it before?
No, we just have the data
During the game, it is guarded by Nen,
so you can't remove the card
lf this card was real, then we need tool to pull the card out of the system
Could it be?
That ring...?
They even know about the ring. So it's for real...
lt seems that they have the right to be examined. Zenigera
You can use Nen, right? Why don't you show us your Ren?
Yes!
An auction. Eh?
We are bandits
Of course, we'd just steal it
Now. Shall we head back to camp and play?
How do they look?
They're no good
These two will just die if they play.
They'll just be ajoke and die after some running around
Nen...
does net necessarily dissipate after death
On the contrary, death can make the Nen stronger
Are you saying that you're like that?
The spider can't kill me oven if they want to
What are you trying to say, Kurapica? Can you see something but we can't?
Killua! Aren't you mad about what he said to us?
