Welcome back, killua! How was it?
Killua: Well, I aced it in no time, naturally.
Both: Yeah!
Bisky: I’m sorry to interrupt your celebration,
but take a look at these spell cards.
Killua: Oh, wow!
There’s even an s-rank card.
So how much do you think we can sell it for?
Bisky: I’m not sure, but why don’t we go and ask around?
Gon: No. We should use it wisely.
( Bisky growls )
Gon: So what do you think, killua?
Killua: I guess it’s safe to hold on to it.
It’s not gonna get stolen with all these defensive spells.
Have you guys tried any of these out yet?
Gon: Just the blackout curtain one.
Killua: Why only one?
Why even have ’em if you don’t use ’em?
Here. Start off by using this one.
It lets you choose any player you’ve met
and have a talk with them.
Gon: Who should we talk to?
Killua: First, let’s look at who’s available.
Gon: All right. Contact on!
Killua: I didn’t know there’d be so many.
( Gasps )
Hey, when’d you run into him?
Gon: Huh?
( Gasps )
Chrollo?!
Bisky: Hold on. Who’s chrollo?
Gon: I haven’t seen him.
Well, not inside of the game, anyway.
Killua: Does that mean
you passed each other without noticing?
Bisky: What are you two talking about?
Gon: But I don’t get it.
I could have sworn kurapika sealed his nen, didn’t he?
Killua: He sure did, and you have to use nen
just to get inside the game.
Bisky: Who is this kurapika?
Gon: If that’s the case, then that means--
bisky: Come on! What the hell are you guys talking about?!
( Shalnark laughs )
Oh, I get it now. That’s what’s going on.
( Laughs )
Franklin: It isn’t funny.
Just explain to us what’s happening.
Shalnark: Sorry about that.
This probably isn’t the boss.
He hasn’t exorcised the nen from his body.
Bisky: Exorcism? It’s quite possible.
- Killua: It is? - Bisky: Of course.
If you’re able to place nen on others,
there would have to a way to remove it as well.
Killua: So does that mean that chrollo removed kurapika’s nen
and then entered the game?
Gon: Why would he come here?
Killua: I’ve got no idea,
but we should probably let kurapika know.
In that case, i’m gonna hop out of the game again.
Gon: Why don’t you use a spell card to leave?
Killua: Hold on to it. I’ll be back in four hours.
( Shalnark laughs ) I should have realized it sooner.
Fact is, this island is due east of yorknew city, straight shot.
( All gasp )
Chrollo: Perhaps to the east, one can be tracked.
The one most needed, you’re sure to find
phinks: I see.
The boss came to find someone to exorcise that nen.
Shalnark: He probably arrived here the same way we did,
but then razor kicked him out.
I assume that’s when he realized this was greed island.
But now that the boss can’t use nen anymore,
he can’t enter through the usual channels,
so he must have hired someone to come to the island for him,
and he had them use his name
as a hidden message for the rest of us.
Chrollo: The exorcist is on greed island.
( Phinks laughs ) Another change in plans, huh?
Let’s bring everybody else out here.
Franklin: I agree.
Then all of us will look for the exorcist.
Hisoka: One small correction.
- Shalnark: Huh? - ( Franklin gasps )
♪
Phinks: It’s you.
Shalnark: Hisoka!
Hisoka: See, using chrollo’s name was actually my idea,
but I didn’t know that entering any name you like was an option,
or at least, not until I had already gotten inside.
You should be praising my initiative.
If not for me,
you never would have understood chrollo’s message.
Phinks: So that’s what this is all about, huh?
I’ve got half a mind to kill you right here and now,
but i’ll leave that to the boss.
( Hisoka chuckles )
Well, if I can help further, use contact to find me,
and i’ll let you know if I happen to learn anything new.
So long.
Shizuku: I didn’t think the boss would have hired hisoka.
Guess he didn’t have much of a choice, but still...
Franklin: I’m betting that he offered him
a duel post-exorcism.
Shalnark: Probably, but now it’s only a matter of time
until the boss comes back.
Kurapika: I doubt it.
If he or one of the other spiders
were to attempt to remove my nen,
I would know about it immediately.
There’s no other way around it.
Killua: So when you set up your ability,
you took something like this into account?
Kurapika: Of course I did.
If you’re able to place nen on others,
it stands to reason
that the ability to remove it exists as well.
It’s common sense.

You can do whatever you want with it.

Genthru: Oh, you again, huh?
Tsezgerra: Interested in trading your angel’s breath
for our patch of forest? It’s an ss-rank card.
Genthru: Yeah, no, thanks. As i’ve already said,
I have no desire to deal with you.
Tsezgerra: What if I throw in a clone?
Genthru: I thought I made it clear there’s no deal here.
You already have 92 different cards.
All that’s left are the ones
monopolized by the other players.
Isn’t that right?
Tsezgerra: Actually we have 95.
Genthru: I’m sure you have some of the items
and you’re waiting for someone else to use gain on them.
In fact, it’s entirely possible
that angel’s breath is the last card that you need to obtain,
and I can’t think of a single reason
we would give that to you and lose the game in the process.
( Tsezgerra chuckles ) Stop playing dumb.
I happen to know that you and your people
are currently monopolizing both angel’s breath
and night Jade, which means the game is not over yet.
Genthru: Oh?
I wish you boys the best of luck,
but we’re never going to let you have these cards.
Tsezgerra: And if I offer three?
The patch of forest,
spirited away hollow,
and then to top it all off,
there’s miniature dragon.
And you only have to give us night Jade,
not angel’s breath.
We’d be giving you one ss-rank and two s-rank,
while you’d only give up an a-rank.
That’s too good to pass up.
Genthru: We’ll need a little time to discuss it.
Tsezgerra: To be clear, this is our final offer.
We won’t negotiate any further.
Genthru: Book.
Sub: It’s gotta be a trap. It’s too good to be true.
Genthru: Tsezguerra is awfully cautious.
I doubt he’s looking to pick a fight with us.
But that said, he’s not the type to make a losing deal, either.
Which must mean he thinks
he can obtain an angel’s breath on his own.
Bara: What do you think?
I mean, there are 40 types of spell cards.
Does he have all of them?
Genthru: Maybe. If so, they’re just waiting for us
to use gain on one of our angel’s breaths.
Sub: Could be,
but it took a whole lot of hard work
to monopolize night Jade.
If one of the cards got destroyed,
one of our Jade jewels would turn back into a card.
Those guys might be able
to get their hands on an ss-rank angel’s breath,
but the a-rank night Jade is a lot harder for them to get.
Genthru: This is a real gamble.
Player: Book.
See ya.
