76 Chapter 76 Reappearance
After a month of arduous training, Moses's Ren can last for more than four hours without interruption.
On this basis, the most balanced offense and defense, Ken, could only be maintained for a maximum of thirty minutes.
According to Biscuit, the division between four hours of Ren and thirty minutes of Ken is a boundary that distinguishes experts.
Having this level of Nen's mastery truly is considered a true step into the threshold and can barely be called an expert.
"Normally, training without any interference is completely different from actual combat where there is no room for mistakes."
"You can maintain Ken for thirty minutes now, but in actual combat, because you have to deal with various offensive and defensive problems, the speed of Aura consumption will be exponentially multiplied."
"In other words, your thirty minutes Ken in usual state might only translate to ten minutes, or even less, in real combat."
"Do you remember what I said?"
"A qualified Nen User must have a clear understanding of their own level."
"So, don't be easily satisfied with the status quo, little brother Moses."
This is the warning and advice given by Biscuit after confirming Moses's current level.
However, despite the warning, Biscuit also highly praised Moses's hard work and talent.
To reach the threshold of an expert within two months of learning Nen was unheard of.
As the massage session with Cookie ended, it officially marked the end of the contract.
"I'm going out to play!!"
In the blink of an eye, Biscuit, who seemed despondent just a moment ago, sprang up from the sofa.
She swiftly removed her psychic abilities that had been bound in the room for a month.
Instantly, Cookie turned into Aura and returned to Biscuit's body.
Then, before Moses could speak, Biscuit opened the door and rushed out.
"Uh…"
Moses didn't have time to say, 'Biscuit, let's have another match' before he watched Biscuit disappear from view in an instant.
'Forget it.'
'Let's wait until Biscuit adjusts her state.'
Moses put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
After spending a month inside the room, he felt nothing but boredom and pain. Now that he was out, he felt a sense of isolation from the world.
'Let's make some money first.'
Standing outside the hotel, Moses looked at the bustling street.
Most of the room and meal expenses this month were paid in advance by Biscuit, so he had to get the money quickly and return it to Biscuit.
'That's right, I haven't asked Sanbica for payment yet…'
With the thought of making money, Moses finally remembered Sanbica. More accurately, he remembered the payment Sanbica owed him.
Moses took out his phone and was about to call Sanbica's number.
When suddenly—
There seemed to be a weak stream of consciousness flashed through Moses's thoughts. The strange sensation that was indescribable, which occurred at the airport, reappeared at this moment.
"Hmm?"
Moses, sensing something, suddenly looked at the sidewalk.
It was quite lively, with people coming and going.
But relying on that vague and strange feeling, Moses instantly locked onto the source, at a young couple cuddling together.
'It's that strange feeling again.'
Moses's gaze passed over the young couple, focusing on the woman.
'The source of that strange feeling came from that woman.'
Moses concentrated a bunch of Aura onto his eyes, and looked at the woman intently.
However, just like the man in a suit he met at the airport more than a month ago, she was an ordinary person who didn't understand Nen.
'What's going on…'
Moses withdrew his Aura, puzzled at the situation.
From his perspective, it felt like there was a faint connection between him and this woman.
So much that he could sense the presence and aura of the woman.
Although he did not feel any substantial threat, this experience made him somewhat uneasy.
The young couple approaching from the sidewalk got closer and closer to Moses.
As the distance closed, the strange feeling in Moses's heart became clearer.
"…"
Moses put away his phone and walked into the crowd silently, following behind the young couple.
'First, there was the man in a suit whom I passed by more than a month ago, and now, there is an ordinary-looking young woman.'
This made him puzzled and wanted to find out what was going on.
Moses walked through the crowd, secretly observing the young woman.
This alone lasts for more than half an hour. During this period, the young couple were just strolling and chatting, behaving normally with no signs of anything unusual.
But whenever Moses got closer, the inexplicable feeling would emerge from the depths of his heart.
'What exactly is going on?'
Moses silently pondered in his mind.
Since he had plenty of time, he decided to keep following this young couple, hoping to gather some information.
Time passed-
Moses followed the young couple to a cinema, a restaurant, a beverage shop, a jewelry store, and a clothing store...
After five or six hours, there were no significant findings.
Apart from that strange feeling, the observed young couple showed no difference from other couples on the street.
Moses continued to follow until evening and found nothing, but he had no intention of giving up.
Then, he followed the young couple as they pass by an electronics store.
At this moment, a row of TVs in the store window was playing a news report.
Moses glanced at it with the corner of his eye, then he suddenly stopped and looked at the TV.
The news was related to a criminal.
The criminal was none other than Dis Mendeck, who had brutally murdered the kind uncle who had given Moses a ride to Ganlin City near the highway.
Hence Moses engraved this name in his memory.
Seeing this name on TV now, Moses couldn't help but stop and watch the news.
The news reported that in just one month, Dis Mendeck had committed more than a dozen heinous murders and dismemberments.
His audacious actions caused his bounty to soar.
This has also led many bounty hunters to regard Dis as their prey.
It's just that until now, there hadn't been any good news from these bounty hunters.
This suggested that Dis must possess considerable strength.
"…"
According to the content of the news report, Moses silently noted the scope of Dis's activities.
He will go there.
He will find that beast who enjoyed torturing and killing others, and then kill him.
After the news on the TV finished playing, Moses retracted his gaze.
He found that the young couple he had been tracking for most of the day was nowhere to be seen.
Moses surveyed the surroundings but found no trace of the young couple, so he gave up.
He decided to go find Biscuit.
…
Night falls.
In the park, a young couple was taking a stroll, the same couple, the same couple Moses had followed before.
"Baby, let's go over there."
The man pointed to a dark grove in the distance and said with a smirk.
"No, I'm afraid of the dark."
The woman shrank a bit.
The man reassured her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
In the end, the woman couldn't resist the man's persistence and reluctantly followed him into the grove.
As the light from the street lamps gradually disappeared, the grove became dark and silent.
The woman clung tightly to the man's arm, showing signs of nervousness and fear.
"Honey, let's go out, I'm really scared…"
"What are you afraid of? I'm here, right? I will protect you."
"But…"
Despite the fear on the woman's face, her hands unclasped her purse and used the strap to tighten around the man's neck.
"I'm really scared of the dark…"
Fear was evident on the woman's face, but her grip was unwavering.
Suddenly strangled by the strap, the man's eyes bulged, his face turned red, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
After a moment—
A human-shaped scorch mark appeared on the ground in the grove.
Some time passed.
The satisfied young couple walked out of the grove.
The woman's face was slightly flushed.
