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 oku aketa mama
So they can be reflected in your eyes
They made another hole, away from the seal,
replaced the jewelry inside with fakes, and patched up the hole.
This method is known as ostomy.
What an amazing world!
There's no mistake.
We even have visual confirmation.
Two targets.
A guy and a girl.
I'll head over there now. Meet you there.
Hey, you guys!
What about the auction?!
I'll leave it up to you!
Just get us the best price!
All right! Leave it to me!
Mummy, my mummy...
All right, I'm ready to play!
Sure, I'll start.
Okay.
One.
Hmm, let's see...
Two!
My turn... three.
I don't know about that...
Oh, do you doubt me?
I'll go again. Four.
All right, then... five.
Miss Neon, is that really a five?
Yeah, of course it is!
Okay, six... and seven.
Well then... I'll go eight!
C'mon. Hurry up! It's your turn! C'mon!
Nine!
I call doubt.
Yay! I win again!
What a surprise!
I knew you didn't have the card.
You should know by now that you can't fool me.
Would you like me to deal again?
Hey, let's take a break.
I'm kind of thirsty. Could you go get me some juice?
The sun upon my face, the grass beneath my feet.
My skin cleansed by the water of a lake.
My spirit soars among the clouds,
my path illuminated by the moon and stars.
I honor my ancestors for bringing me to this place,
and defend my brethren with my dying breath.
I will step forward to humbly share in their joy
and carry the burden of their sorrows.
By my word and deed, their name will live on...
For my Scarlet Eyes and my blood are one with theirs,
I will take up the mantle, and accept any wrongdoing I commit,
to preserve the Kurta people, until we are redeemed forever.
On the Scarlet Eyes, I swear this.
Was Uvo... really killed?
Most likely.
We're here to find out.
Uvo isn't just some bloodthirsty monster.
You don't have to tell me something like that...
Even if his opponent could put up a good fight,
he still has enough brains and skill to come out on top.
Yeah, I know.
Hello?
Hi, I'm the one who posted the ad online.
You're late! Where are you?!
Not far from you.
In fact, I can see you from where I am.
It's the couple at the table next to you, right? There's no mistake.
We're wiring the money now, so please confirm it.
Whoa, it's really there!
Let's get outta here! Let's go!
But Uvo hasn't come back yet.
Has he ever been late for a meeting?
Never.
But remember he said,
he wouldn't come back until he had settled the score with that chain dude.
You heard him.
That's why I said, "most likely."
I didn't say he's dead for certain.
Just your hunch?
Yep.
And your hunches are always right on the money.
I'm going to find him and kill him...
without fail.
So here's our problem.
How are we gonna get them?
It's impossible.
They're way out of our league.
Sheesh! How can you say that now?!
Keep it down, they'll see us.
Say something, Gon!
I also think it would be too hard.
Aw, man.
I really thought I could catch these guys,
but I guess I was being too optimistic.
Me too.
My dad warned me about them three years ago,
so I thought I could take them on by now...
They're really that good?
Well, imagine that there were two Hisokas sitting at that table.
So you understand now?
You're giving me chills.
Let's just forget about them then!
That's not it...
Why do you think those two Spiders came to this place?
There can only be one explanation...
They're obviously on a date!
Eh, they are?!
No!
That may be what they want everyone to think,
but they knew that the couple sitting behind them were informants.
Really?
Yeah. They're paying careful attention to their surroundings.
They'll sense us if we get any closer than we already are.
And don't even think about looking directly at them.
At first, I thought they were just being extra cautious
because they know that the Mafia's after them.
But that doesn't explain why they'd risk going out in public in the first place.
It's a trap.
They're acting like they don't even know people are hunting them down.
Now I can see why they're called the Spiders.
What they're doing is waiting...
Waiting for their prey to get caught in their web, and that's when they'll strike.
We're being watched.
And these aren't amateurs.
Right. I'm not sure where they are, but they've targeted us.
Think it's the chain dude?
Can't tell.
But if it is him, I'll follow the Leader's orders,
and take whatever steps necessary.
I think the Leader is interested in acquiring that guy's ability.
Machi. All he said was for us to team up to lure out the chain-user and bring him in.
You're not forgetting what's implied in his orders, are you?
Dead or alive by any means necessary.
That's right.
I don't care how you interpret that.
Just stop telling me what to think.
I was only making an assumption.
You're the one with the agenda around here, not me.
The mood's completely changed.
There's so much tension it's scary.
What? Did they see us?!
Don't worry. They haven't spotted us, yet.
You sure? I'm not like you guys, remember?
I can't use Zetsu or whatever you call it to hide my aura.
This wouldn't be the right place to use it anyway, we'd be too conspicuous.
But as it is, those two aren't paying attention to anyone's aura.
Instead they're observing everyone in this plaza.
Looking for any facial expression, eye movement, or behavior out of place.
And right now, you guys are sticking out like a couple of sore thumbs.
So just relax. And try to act natural.
How's this?
Act natural...
Forget I said anything.
Let's decide right here and now...
Are we going to bring this chain-user in dead or alive?
We're sticking to the rules.
Fine.
Heads.
Tails.
Given the circumstances, I'd say you took the appropriate action.
You made my daughter's safety your top priority.
I appreciate that. Now, I'd like to discuss our next move.
First of all, I'll be sending my daughter back home.
Is that okay, Neon?
I don't really have a choice, do I?
The auction's been canceled. There's no point in being here.
Man, I really wanted to go.
There'll be another auction next year.
There's nothing to be sad about.
I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure
those thieves give back all the things you wanted to buy.
Really?
Have I ever broken a promise before?
You've broken more than you've kept!
You got me!
You're Melody and Basho, correct?
I'd like the two of you to escort Neon back to the mansion at once.
Since you were seen when that vicious monster was captured,
you're not completely safe.
However, you're in a better position than your colleagues
whose photos are posted on the Hunter website.
As a precaution, I'd like both of you to put on some kind of disguise.
Neon, think you could pack your things and get ready to go?
Okay.
I call doubt.
Now then...
Let's get down to business.
The underground auction will be held according to plan.
Same time, same place.
The Community doesn't really care
who's behind all this nonsense, but we will not be made fools of.
The Ten Dons have sworn an oath to reacquire the stolen goods by any means necessary.
Pardon me...
When we questioned the Phantom Troupe member,
he told us they didn't steal the auction goods
because the Shadow Beasts had already taken them to another location.
The Shadow Beasts have been annihilated.
Nine bodies have been found so far.
The only one missing is a man called Owl who was in charge of transporting the items.
It seems likely that he's been captured by the Troupe.
The Ten Dons are well aware of the powers of Nen.
Owl wouldn't even need to be tortured
if one of the Spiders has the ability to make him confess.
At this point, the Community believes that the items from the auction
have fallen into the hands of the Phantom Troupe.
With the loss of the Shadow Beasts,
the Ten Dons have hired professionals to eliminate the Phantom Troupe.
Professionals?
The Mafia uses murder as a means to intimidate its enemies,
but it's not necessarily our area of expertise.
When we're faced with a difficult situation like this,
it's best if we leave it up to the professionals.
I've been assured that the Ten Dons have given the contract
to form a team of the finest assassins.
So we're free to stand back,
and let them take care of the problem once and for all.
But this is a chance for our family to provide a service to the Community.
We can't stand by and let the pros get all the credit, now can we?
That's why I've been thinking, Kurapika.
I want you to join that team.
You're the only one of us who's capable of killing a Spider.
Will you do it?
They're on the move.
What do we do now? And remember...
There's no way we can beat those guys.
Well, we're not just gonna sit here and let them walk away, are we?!
Right. We can't turn back now.
Okay, then listen carefully to what I have to say.
Gon and I are gonna follow them.
We've gotta stay hidden from here on out.
We'll use Zetsu.
Whoa! They're right here, but I can't feel their presence.
It's like Killua just faded out right in front of me.
Gon, I want you to promise me two things.
First, if they manage to spot either one of us, we'll stop right away,
and get away as quickly as possible.
Other than that,
if for any reason I decide we should stop tracking them, we abort.
Understand?
We'll communicate using our cell phones.
I'll ring once for abort,
so only answer the phone if I let it ring a second time.
And make sure you put it on vibrate so they won't hear it.
If they happen to split up for any reason, we'll stick with the woman.
Leorio, I want you to get in touch with Zepile
and make sure everything's on track at the auction.
You got it.
Looks like I won't get to be a part of the action this time around.
Be careful, you guys.
Staying alive is what matters most.
Hey, you don't happen to have any tracking experience, do you?
Well, I tracked Hisoka during the Hunter Exam.
For real? And you weren't spotted?
Nope.
I probably followed him for a whole day.
Whoa! That's pretty good!
Hisoka even complimented me.
He said that I was like a stealthy animal.
You're really a natural, Gon!
I guess so.
Why did you hit me?
No reason, I just felt like it.
All right, I guess you're qualified then.
Just remember to never enter their field of vision.
Okay, let's go.
I believe in you guys...
I'll be waiting. Gon, Killua.
The targets are exiting the plaza into an alley.
Okay, roger that.
Do you think they're on to us?
No, we're fine.
As long as we're using Zetsu, they won't spot us.
But they're expecting to be followed, so be careful.
I will.
He sure is being casual about this.
It's all over for us if we're discovered.
I'm wearing down on my nerves
looking for any little change in their behavior.
But we're okay so far.
If they thought they were being followed,
their body language would've betrayed them by now.
No matter how good they are,
there are some things they just can't hide.
It could be a slight hesitation, or some awkwardness in the way they walk.
Of course, it would be almost imperceptible.
It's something that most people couldn't even detect.
But I've been playing these life or death shadow games since I was three years old.
I would know it if their heart skipped a beat...
and I'd never miss it.
Think we're being followed?
Oh, I don't know, probably.
They're pretty impressive.
They must have perfect Zetsu because I haven't detected them yet.
In that case, they must be very well trained.
Uh oh. They're heading into more and more deserted areas.
Maybe they've figured out they're being followed.
Is this a trap?
No. They still don't know we're here.
Or maybe they haven't detected us and they're heading to their hideout.
If they are, then we're in business.
So is it a trap or their hideout?
If it's a trap, we'll bail immediately.
If it's their hideout, then we'll continue following.
I haven't noticed anything unnatural in their behavior so far.
We'll keep going!
They're not taking the bait.
Then it's probably not the chain-user.
Why's that?
Because there's more than one of them.
And I'm pretty sure the chain-user works on his own.
Why's that?
Well, he was hired by the Nostrade family, wasn't he?
However, when he confronted Uvo, he was probably acting alone.
Because otherwise, the whole Mafia would've made a move against us.
If the Mafia had been involved, they would've used Uvo to set an example.
They would've executed him in retaliation for ruining the reputation of the Community.
And since that didn't happen, I think the chain dude went rogue
and killed Uvo on his own without even reporting it to his employer.
So why would somebody who works for the Mafia and has its support decide to act alone?
It must be a personal vendetta.
You say "must be" and "probably" too much.
Oh, shut up.
It seems improbable that someone who wouldn't work
under the authority of the Mafia would work with a partner.
And that's why I believe the chain-user's on his own,
which means that whoever's following us isn't connected to him.
Your theory is full of holes.
All right, then why don't you tell me what you think.
Well, I've got another hunch.
I think they're still somehow related to the chain dude.
A hunch?
Yes, a hunch.
I've had it with you!
I don't need you telling me what's wrong with my theories.
What do you think, Killua?
They're either waiting for someone, or they're trying to draw us out.
U-Us?
Do you think they've discovered we're following them?
There's a fifty-fifty chance.
But they don't know where we are.
If they're trying to wait us out,
they're acting as though nothing's wrong, hoping that we'll give away our position.
So now what?
For now, let's just sit tight.
Who knows, maybe they are just waiting for somebody.
Gon! I'm gonna hang up, so listen carefully!
If either of us sees anything suspicious we don't even question it, just get out of here!
The next time you hear your phone ring, just run.
You got that?
It's Nobunaga.
Hey, it's me.
Yeah, what do you want?
I was just calling to see how you guys are doing.
Well, we're being followed, but they haven't made a move.
So far we haven't been able to figure out where they are...
so it still could be a while.
I hate it when that happens.
Sounds to me like you could use a little good news.
Huh?
"Good news"? What's going on?
He stopped me so easily!
Hey, Phinks...
Why are you here?
I thought you were out with the Leader.
But we're on the fourth floor!
Like they say, deceive your allies to deceive your enemies.
We wanted you to behave as usual.
It was all the Leader's idea.
Oh man!
That guy gets me every time!
I should've known because all the Zetsu masters I sensed lurking around.
A double trail? Even this guy and that girl didn't notice them!
They've got us!
So, kiddo, I've got a couple of questions I'd like to ask you.
Well, well...
Seems like we've finally got... the shadow of the chain-user.
Killua, we're caught in their web! How are we gonna break free?!
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Nest of Spiders x Captive x Killing Technique!
Slash it, burn it, turn it to pulp?
