kono taiyou wa yoru mo kageyaite yume wo miru
This sun is shining even at night, dreaming
soshite isogu kimi no me ni
And then you who was hurrying
yakitsuite hanarenai
Burned it into your eyes and it never came back
owarinaku tsuzuku uta
This song that continues without end
omoi sae koete yuku
Goes beyond even our thoughts
kimi no me ni utsuru youni
I've left open the depths of my heart
mune no aku aketa mama
So they can be reflected in your eyes
Two minutes left... Something's not right here.
It may be a simulation but without real world conditions...
Real world conditions presuppose...
...there could always be unexpected occurrences.
Then the predetermined time limit could only be
the bluff with no guarantee for its certainty.
We are guinea pigs in a cage under surveillance.
Here, take this!
Three gunmen... Six swordsmen.
And another two with swords upstairs.
I've gotta say, you guys did a good job of sneaking up on us...
But your actual fighting skills are not that great!
I don't even have to use my Nen to take you down!
I see... So that's what's going on here.
Call them off. I'll give you three seconds.
One... two...
Okay, I understand.
So it was Nen.
I could tell when I punched one of 'em.
They were masses of human shaped aura.
But I couldn't tell it was that guy's Nen.
How could you tell?
You hid it well by keeping close to the others,
but from above it was obvious...
...that you were the only one not getting attacked.
When those two attackers appeared upstairs, I knew something wasn't right.
Even after I jumped out of their reach onto the chandelier,
they kept swinging their swords uselessly at me instead of going downstairs.
They were probably given an order to attack the enemy who was nearest.
The could only respond to simple commands
and their fighting style was quite basic.
But even so, it would still take a significant amount of Nen
to remotely control eleven masses of aura each the size of a man.
The feat marks the Nen-user to be an Emitter with pretty good certainty.
The amount of aura required to do that would limit the effective range to a few meters radius.
In other words, it would have to be someone in this room.
You're correct.
My name is Shachmono Tocino.
I'm also a Hunter, employed here at the mansion.
I'm a senior to all of you, in a manner of speaking.
Now that you understand, please put that thing away.
Please don't take it the wrong way. I was only acting under orders.
I was told to test you with intent to kill.
I never expected to be found out so quickly.
With the amount of talent I've just witnessed, you four should be fine.
Do your best.
So there's another one mixed within us?
You meant to make us second guess ourselves, but it was the wrong call.
I'll find out whether there are other infiltrators.
It's you. You're the other infiltrator.
No way! You got any thing to back up your words?!
So what if the chain wiggled a bit?
It's something called dowsing.
So what? Like I'm saying, that won't prove anything!
The chain is probably accurate.
Your heart started pounding heavily when Kurapika singled you out...
If it were a false accusation,
the heartbeat would've gradually built its speed and volume,
with anxiety and shock of being misunderstood.
But in your case, it beat loudest at first and then slowly evened down.
And that's the typical melody of a liar's heart.
Also, I have no reason to believe that you were lying to us earlier.
The melody of your heartbeat was calm and consistent.
That decides it.
Two out of us five say it's you.
Wait a second! But that's not plausible!
Maybe there are actually two more infiltrators among the five of us!
It would be natural for a Nen-user to make a chain move when he wants it to,
and it's not like everybody heard my heartbeat.
Maybe these two are the infiltrators and made sure their story would match.
Well, I'm not sure if they're the infiltrators or not,
but there's no doubt these two already knew each other.
I'm sorry. Looks like the tables have turned.
Confess already, you infiltrators.
We happened to be sharing the same compartment on the train here.
Which, if you think about the ways to access the mansion and the number of the trains here,
is not all that unlikely.
Besides, if we actually were infiltrators,
we wouldn't have been so careless as to let it know we'd met before.
However, now that we both are under suspicion,
it's impossible to logically prove the truth of the situation.
It can't be helped then.
I'll put an end to this.
My hand makes a fist. Anything I punch with it...
...will burst into flames!
The Wandering Haiku Poet!
Oh man, pathetic.
Hardly any flames... I guess the poem was no good.
This is called a haiku. It's a form of poetry in my native country.
Whatever I compose becomes real.
End of story.
If you lie to me, you will have a painful, fiery death.
In other words, all liars will burn in hell.
Answer, are you an infiltrator?
I'm not.
I'm not, either.
I'm not.
Are you an infiltrator?
I am.
Okay, that leaves you.
Think of the consequences before you answer.
Are you an infiltrator? Answer me.
All right then... My answer's yes.
Splendid! As a reward, I'll tell you something...
My name's Squala, and even though I don't actually have an official License...
I am a Manipulator.
I've already given out my orders...
To what? And what kind of order?
If I told you that, it wouldn't be much of a test, would it?
I'm a professional. I won't tell even if you torture me.
Instant Lover.
I also happen to be a Manipulator,
and I have the Nen ability to turn anyone I kiss into my slave.
Here, you like that?
Oh yes, please, walk all over me!
Look at you, if your parents could only see you now.
This is a great show. I've gotta record this.
You should be ashamed of yourself. I'm getting this all on video.
C'mon, open up your legs a little wider!
Now, tell me how you used your Nen.
If you don't tell me, I'm going to stop...
No, don't stop! I'll tell you anything! Please!
All I am is a lowly dog handler.
What a terrifying...
I've always lived with dogs, since I was a little kid.
...Nen ability.
It got to the point where I was so attached to those dogs...
I was so close to becoming like that.
...that I could get them to do whatever I asked them to.
There are dogs under my control all over this property.
For example, a Maltese would come up to you to let your guard down
so that a St. Bernard and a Pitbull can team up and attack...
I'm gonna cancel all my Nen, so please use me as your lowly dog!
Hey! Hey!
Over here! Right here!
You can't beat same-day delivery.
Thanks a lot!
Thank you very much!
I'm sorry, Gon, but I put that on your account.
So this is a JoyStation.
It's three generations old, but still on the market.
Pretty amazing, huh?
I guess it's because some games can only be played on this console.
This is where you're supposed to insert the game disc.
But if you keep it empty,
insert the memory card here, and push the power button,
it shows us what's on the card.
And it will tell what kind and how many games have been played too.
I see.
Here we go. What in the world would be on here?
There's only one game saved on this thing.
Just one?
Yeah.
But there's a lot of memory for it.
The one game is taking up all thirty blocks.
This probably won't work but... I'm gonna try to make a copy of it.
Copying Greed Island...
So, this game's called Greed Island. Heard of it?
Nuh uh. But now that we know what it's called, we can order it from Toy Land.
Greed Island... and we're gonna want same-day delivery.
One moment please.
No items match your request.
What?
So, there are no stores that match the conditions...
We'll give up on the same-day delivery.
For now... I'll just do a search for every place that carries it.
No items match your request.
Really?
What's going on?
None of the online stores have it in stock anymore.
I guess it's sold out...
Or it could be that this game was never even on the market.
Does that happen?
It might've been designed for private use.
Maybe it was never available to the public... or its sale was banned for some reason.
Sounds like this game is quite something...
If I follow this game's lead, I should find Ging at the end.
This is starting to get interesting.
I'm gonna search the Game Almanac.
They have a database of every video game that's ever been made.
There!
Huh? It actually was out on the market through a legitimate route.
Exclusively for Hunters?!
It's a Hunting game?
The price is...
Five...
...point eight billion?!
That's an insane price!
And only a hundred units were ever sold?!
That's not very many?
Not in the slightest! They have to be kidding!
But now it all makes sense. Of course it sold out.
Maybe the company that made it has some in stock.
Like ones that didn't work and were returned or something.
Well, it's not really likely but I could make a request.
Greed Island, was it? One moment while I check.
That game has been discontinued,
and there are no plans to put it back into production.
It was created by a small developer that has since gone out of business.
No good! There isn't a used copy for sale anywhere.
I guess the only thing we can do is find someone who owns it.
If we are gonna go by legal means, we should try posting an ad on an auction site.
And then just wait and see if there's anyone who's willing to sell one...
Yeah, but what about the money?
Our prize money combined from Heavens Arena is over 800 million.
Five billion short.
I dunno about that.
When you are dealing with an individual seller,
it's not unusual that the asking price is way more than the retail price.
We should prepare to pay at least twice that.
That'd be ten billion?!
Well, we might as well give it a shot. What've we got to lose?
All right. Though I doubt we'll get any response.
"Wanted: The game Greed Island. Name your price."
We've got ten thousand hits in an instant.
What's going on?
I thought they only made a hundred copies of it.
That's right.
Which means that these people are trying to scam us with fakes.
I mean, the game is worth 5.8 billion, after all.
But maybe some of them have the real thing?
Forget it.
Negotiating with ten thousand postings is gonna take us forever.
And we've got no way to verify if it's real or not.
I give up.
Give up, huh...
That's annoying...
Killua?
He might have a copy of Greed Island.
What? Who? Who's got Greed Island?
I really don't wanna ask him for a favor, but I guess we don't have a choice.
Hey! Gotoh, it's Killua.
Yeah, I'm fine, thanks.
So listen, could you get Piggy for me?
You're lying. There's no way he'd leave the house.
Tell him if he doesn't get on the phone in ten seconds,
I'll smash all of his figurines.
Whaddaya want?! I'm busy, you know?
I'm warning you, lay so much as a finger on my dolls, and I'll kill you.
I was only kidding, Bro.
Don't get so mad, you're scaring me.
Actually, I wanted to ask you something.
Greed Island, huh?
Yeah, I've heard of it,
but I never thought the name of a rare game like that would come out of your mouth.
Do you have it?
No, I don't. I wanted it, but I was only five when it came out.
I didn't have the money.
Apparently, there were over 20,000 pre-orders, at the time, for the hundred copies released,
despite the fact that it cost 5.8 billion jenny, payable only in cash.
I did everything I could to get one for myself,
but I couldn't even specify the owners.
It's a legendary game, in many ways.
But you can forget it.
Even I had to chalk it up as a lost cause.
Really? Even you've given up?
That was a long time ago. I've got some leads now.
But considering the cost and the amount of effort involved,
it's just not really worth it.
Really? Then tell me about those leads.
Not for free!
What if I give you a memory card of Greed Island for your information?
I got only a memory card from one of my connections.
With your skills, I bet you could analyze the data and reverse engineer the game itself.
You better be telling the truth.
I'm not so stupid that I'd lie when I'm making a deal.
Okay, listen, I've got two leads here...
Hold on, a cell phone's too risky.
Don't worry, even if someone is listening in, there's nothing they could do about it anyway.
The first lead is the Hunter's website...
It's top of the line in info, content, and reliability.
All kinds of precious loot you'd never find on any other website
moves through there on a regular basis.
That's probably your best bet.
But to access it, you need a Hunter License and the URL.
I'll give you the URL as soon as you send me the memory card.
Yeah, that's fine.
And the other lead?
Have you ever heard of the Yorknew Auction?
Yeah.
I've heard rumors that as many as several dozen Greed Island discs
will be up for auction this year.
Apparently, there's a collector who's been buying up all available copies.
But there's a good chance this is just a rumor...
Okay, I got it.
I'll send you the card in the usual way.
Sorry. I promised him the memory card, but I couldn't think of another way to get him to talk.
Yeah. That's okay.
But in exchange we've got two solid leads to follow.
And the first one's a website that's exclusively for Hunters.
Oh, yeah! We can use my License!
Idiot! You can't do it from here!
If you use your home computer, your IP address gets out there, you know?
Thieves looking for a Hunter License will zero in on this island!
Oh, my bad.
For stuff like this, you should always use public computers like at a cafe or hotel.
Either way, we won't be able to onto the website until we get the URL.
And... what's the other lead?
The auction at Yorknew City.
My brother said it might only be a rumor.
But apparently, several Greed Island discs are gonna be auctioned off.
Really?
He said that a single collector had been hoarding a lot of copies.
I wonder if that collector is... Ging?
Yeah. He could be.
In any case, in order to acquire Greed Island,
we'll need a tremendous amount of money.
Ging Freecss and...
The Yorknew City Auction.
Killua!
Yeah, we have to go, don't we?
To Yorknew!
Following that, Greed Island disappeared from the market.
For now, it's just a topic of various rumors flying about the web,
which have added to its mystique.
A 50 billion jenny reward was offered by Mr. Battera for the game
and a memory card with endgame data.
Nobody has stepped forward.
This reward still remains in effect...
Interesting...
I'll bring this legend to an end myself.
We're finally off to Yorknew.
But before that...
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Killua x Big Fortune x Hunter's Tavern!
Okay, let's access this!
