Chapter 156 Black Nen Threads

A strong and ominous aura enveloped the sky above Swardani City.

The Eye of Sight, carrying a powerful and majestic black aura, descended straight from above towards Swardani City.

In the next moment, within the black aura, countless thin and intricate Nen threads extended rapidly in all directions, spreading in a short period of time.

If one were to look from below at this moment, they might mistakenly think that the sky had cracked into numerous fine fissures.

Numerous Nen Users in Swardani City sensed this sudden ominous aura, so they quickly rushed outdoors, appearing on the streets, balconies, and rooftops of buildings.

"What is... that thing!?"

The Nen Users in Swardani City looked up at the black Nen spreading like fungal threads from the sky, their expressions filled with shock and their eyes trembling intensely.

In this moment, no one knew what the Eye of Sight was or where the source of this black Nen came from.

However, as the black Nen descended, every Nen User remained on high alert.

While they had protection from Nen, they couldn't help but feel their hearts tighten as the black Nen seemed to want to envelop the entire city.

On the contrary, the crowds on the streets and the people in the shopping malls seemed completely unaware of the impending black Nen.

On the roof of the Hunter Association's Headquarters, Pariston, who was dressed in a bright golden suit, looked up at the descending black Nen.

Facing this black Nen exuding such ominous aura, Pariston still maintained a sunny smile, seemingly unconcerned about any potential danger.

"I've always been curious about where the largest 'puzzle piece' is. Turns out, it's such a 'scene'…"

Pariston's eyes are always as dark as an abyss.

Despite his constant smile, his true emotions were always hidden deep within that abyss.

"I always feel that something interesting is about to happen."

On the deserted rooftop of the building, Pariston's voice dissipated with the light breeze.

Inside the Hunter Association's Headquarters, in the tea room.

Moses's figure has already disappeared, and Netero sat cross-legged in front of a low table, his old eyes revealing a thoughtful expression.

In the corridor.

'Post-Mortem Nen…'

Moses's gaze was solemn as he swiftly traversed the corridor.

Although he is not a Nen Exorcist, he had a particularly sensitive perception of Post-Mortem Nen.

At first, he thought... maybe it was because the Nen Exorcism chance given by Perception, which delivered knowledge related to Nen Exorcism to his mind, so he was so sensitive to Post-Mortem Nen.

However, he later recalled the night he completely mastered Ten.

That night, he suddenly noticed the existence of Post-Mortem Nen.

Now that he thinks about it carefully, the reason why he is so sensitive to Post-Mortem Nen is probably because his current body has died once.

So, the moment the aura appeared just now, Moses immediately determined that it was a Post-Mortem Nen.

After realizing this, he hastily said something to Netero and quickly left the tea room.

Through the windows of the corridor, Moses, who was running, saw the black Nen descending towards the ground like fungal threads.

The sheer quantity was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

At the moment when the situation is unclear, Moses's immediate thought was to meet up with Cheadle and the others as soon as possible.

"10th floor, office area."

Moses took out his phone and quickly sent a text message to Sanbica.

He assumed Sanbica would be working in the research lab inside the Hunter Association's Headquarters.

'Find Cheadle first…'

Moses furrowed his brow.

"Moses!"

Just after passing a corner, Moses suddenly heard Pyon's urgent shout and instinctively stopped. Then, he looked towards the direction of the voice.

Pyon, still dressed as a short-skirted bunny girl, ran quickly towards Moses from the other direction of the corridor.

At the end of the meeting before, Pyon was about to block Moses, but was intercepted by Netero.

Helpless, Pyon could only wait near the tea room for Moses to come out.

Unexpectedly, an alarming and ominous aura suddenly appeared in the sky above the Swardani City.

Pyon had roughly observed the situation through the window at that time and had intended to rush out of the building to further assess the situation.

But just as she took a step, she suddenly thought of Moses and decided to go in a different direction. This was also the reason why she encountered Moses here.

"Outside…"

Pyon rushed to Moses and wanted to briefly explain the situation outside.

However, Moses interrupted her directly: "I saw it. That thing... was probably created by the 'Seirin Group'."

From Cheadle, Moses learned that the Seirin Group has been collecting Post-Mortem Remnants.

That's why the Seirin Group focuses on Elena and Hawk.

To be more precise, it is to keep an eye on Libra, which is currently stuck inside Stargazing.

The large-scale Post-Mortem Nen falling from the sky outside must be one of the abilities from Post-Mortem Remnants collected by the Seirin Group.

'Is it to stop the actions of the Hunter Association?'

The scale of these Post-Mortem Nen was so large that Moses wondered what kind of price the Seirin Group had paid. It could be considered a desperate move.

"Together?"

Without wasting time to explain further, Moses asked Pyon directly.

"Okay."

Pyon agreed without hesitation.

At the moment when the situation is unknown, it was only natural to act as a team for safety.

She glanced in the direction of the tea room, but she was not worried about Netero's safety.

In fact.

As far as she knew, even if the entire Hunter Association's Headquarters was annihilated, Netero would definitely be able to stand unharmed until the end.

"Follow me."

Hearing Pyon's response, Moses threw out a sentence and ran ahead.

At this moment.

The black Nen falling from the sky, like slender fungal threads, fell silently on the crowd outside.

That black Nen thread seamlessly blends into the heads of passers-by.

Soon after, their abilities activated.

Those who were parasitized by the black Nen suddenly froze in place. Their eyes instantly became clouded, as if covered by a layer of white film.

Simultaneously, a layer of black Nen appeared on their bodies, enveloping them. In just a few seconds, they turned into black cocoons.

One, two, three…

Looking down from above, the individuals wrapped in black cocoons one after another are like sparks that are gradually ignited, and soon gather into a group, forming a massive black cocoon that rapidly expands in all directions.

The roads, cars, traffic lights, buildings, greenery—everything was engulfed in the expanding giant black cocoon.

The same phenomenon occurred simultaneously throughout Swardani City.

The ability of the Eye of Sight is using the mental power of the Swardani City's citizens as nourishment, giving birth to one miniature Nen Space after another.

And after these Nen Spaces come into contact...

Countless streams of mental power converged, forming a larger Nen Space at an astonishing speed.

It was foreseeable that in a short time, the Nen Spaces scattered throughout the city would converge into one, and then covered the entire Swardani City.

The Nen Users, who were originally operating in various areas of Swardani City, were shocked when they witnessed this scene, and at the same time, they also had different thoughts.

But soon, they realized...

The black Nen falling descending from the sky could not penetrate the Nen protecting their bodies.

This means that as long as ones have the protection of Nen, they don't have to worry about being parasitized by these black Nen threads.
