Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life - Chapter 403

In the barren grassland, the tall weeds danced with the wind, like golden sea waves undulating layer by layer, countless scarecrows fixed on the cross bowed their heads, with strange smiles, looming in ambush, as if they were with people. General hide and seek.

A scarecrow suddenly turned around mechanically with a grunt, the bottom of which was quietly pulled out of the ground, the black rope behind his neck tugged straight, and floated in one direction.

But before it got close, a sharp knife light lit up, and the scarecrow had been smashed into two pieces and fell miserably to the ground.

Several pairs of feet stepped over without hesitation, and behind them, on the way they came, lay down on the ground, the scarecrow who was violently dismembered, pinned into a honeycomb by nails and poker, and soon, on the ground again. Hidden by the grass in the breeze.

In the air, there was only an excited and nervous questioning voice, which escaped with the wind.

“Captain, is what you just said true? That’s not Celluloid? But no matter how I look at it, I think it’s Celluloid, even though it’s not like her!”

Feitan was on his way, cleaning up the scarecrow who was blocking the road and attacking, and he did not forget to ask.

Just the evidence of a big change in personality and inconsistent behavior can’t make Feitan directly conclude that this is not celluloid, so he is more worried about gains and losses. He wants to believe in his heart, but seeing is believing makes him unable to convince himself.

“Mostly not, but I don’t know what it is yet.” Chrollo put his hands in his pockets and kept walking, only nodding lightly.

The knight who walked ahead and cleared the grass also turned back and smiled bitterly when he heard the words.

“Actually, don’t talk about Feitan, Captain, I still can’t be sure that it’s not Celluloid. My contact with her when I lost my memory was too short. Lulu has completely changed as a person, this kind of change is too abrupt, and I have to doubt it rationally, but when I actually look at her, I don’t think she is not Cellulu at all.”

“You don’t dare to stop Feitan if you’re not sure.”

When Jin heard this, he snorted and complained.

“I really should let Cellulu hear what you said. There is absolutely no evidence. It just feels a little bit different from her, so you just give up. How can you have the face to say that you like her? If this is really Cellul What about Lu?”

The knight spread his hands and said with a smile.

“If I prove wrong later, then I will naturally bow down and make a small apology, and you can see that Hisoka and Ilumi didn’t make a move, not to mention that I wasn’t stopped by the team leader. Besides, if it’s really a game Lulu, Feitan can’t kill her either.”

Jin’s face was even more ugly.

“Just because Celluloid can’t die, you don’t feel bad for each one, right? It’s scum! It’s too cold!”

“Hmm~, don’t drag me into it, I’m sure it’s not Celluloid~” Hisoka immediately jumped out to defend himself.

Illumi also refuted himself coldly, even though his tone was quite unpleasant, he even protected a fake.

“Don’t get me involved, I’ve been protecting this impostor until I confirm that she’s not Celluloid.”

Only Chrollo remained calm and calm.

“You can test it with 50% certainty. If it’s Celluloid, she will understand, and it turns out that I was right. Faced with Feitan’s assassination, that Celluloid’s reaction was completely unsatisfactory. “

“You’re relying on Cellulu to know that your emotional intelligence is low, so you’re completely reckless?” Jin Qiji laughed and said sarcastically.

Chrollo didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. When his IQ went online, his EQ was gone, especially when it was proven that he was right.

“At least the problem can be found and solved as soon as possible, right?”

“If that’s the case, why did you stop Feitan in the end?” The knight asked suspiciously.

Wouldn’t everything be clear after killing that ‘Celullu’? The real celluloid won’t die, and the fake one won’t be so unbelievable, can it still live if it’s dead?

Feitan remembered the anger and heartbreak that he felt betrayed by Celluloid just now, and he had the urge to go back and kill the fake.

“That’s right, since she’s not Celluloid, you shouldn’t have stopped me just now, Captain, you should have let me kill that fake! How dare you pretend to be Celluloid! It made me feel such a bad mood, really Unforgivable!”

Chrollo looked calm and analyzed.

“There are two reasons for not killing her, one, because I’m not sure if she is some kind of strange existence in this place or ghost town, such as a puppet, a remnant or a so-called ghost, if she is, then killing her is also It’s useless, because she may also ‘resurrect’, just like the villagers in Diaojingling, which may lead us to misjudgment.

Second, if she is not some kind of weird existence, but just uses a special ability to confuse us, then killing her before we know the true face of this ability may trigger conditions that we don’t know, and maybe it will affect the We or the real celluloid, for example, we may completely forget the existence of celluloid, and this risk cannot be completely ruled out.

So, before you figure out what’s going on with this celluloid, don’t act rashly, keep away, wait and see, testing and verification can be carried out gradually. “

Several people had to admit that Krollo’s caution was right.

Jin thought for a while and frowned.

“But there is also a possibility that the person is actually Celluloid. We are currently judging that she is not based on words and deeds, but what if she was controlled by someone? Or possessed by someone? It is also possible Maybe something changed her feelings and cognition?”

Chrollo nodded in agreement.

“Yes, this is also a possibility. Therefore, the issue of Celluloid cannot be viewed in isolation, because we cannot rule out whether Celluloid’s change is related to the fact that we suddenly appeared in this strange place and participated inexplicably. It’s about clearing the game.”

Hisoka interrupted suddenly. “Interrupt O, I don’t think this fake is Celluloid~”

“How?” Chrollo immediately looked at Hisoka and asked.

Hisoka smiled.

“Illumi and I saw this counterfeit stole the name from Cellulu. This counterfeit should have been called Elena.”

The knight immediately exclaimed. “What? Then why didn’t you…”

Seeming to know what the knight wants to say, Ilumi coldly cut the conversation first.

“At that time we lost our memory, who knows who is who, the name is just a title.”

Jin frowned in question.

“But you regained your memory later, didn’t you? You haven’t forgotten about this, so why don’t you suspect the identity of a fake? And so, you’ve already seen Celluloid, so where is she now? “

Several people looked at Illumi eagerly.

“The problem is here.” Illumi said with a paralyzed face,

“Even if my memory is restored, I still remember this incident, but I still think that the counterfeit is Celluloid. As for Celluloid whose name was taken away, you have seen it, and now you have recovered your memory, do you think you recognize it? Is she?”

“We’ve met, who is it?”

Jin and Xia Ke were stunned for a moment and asked eagerly, Feitan’s breathing became a little faster.

Chrollo covered his mouth, thoughtfully, frowning slightly.

“Little girl~” Hisoka announced the answer with a smile.

“Little girl?” Jin He Xia Ke was stunned again, but instead of realizing it, he felt even more confused. “Why her? She’s not celluloid no matter what.”

It’s not even a question of resemblance, but you don’t think of apples as oranges, so in their eyes, Xiaoya is just another stranger, and has nothing to do with Celluloid from head to toe.

Hisoka shrugged:

“Look, it’s all said, this is the problem, according to normal reasoning analysis, Xiaoya should be Celluloid, but Illumi and I can only rationally analyze that she should be, but in fact, we didn’t Fa thinks she is, and you all think the same.”

Feitan is suspicious. “Are you serious? Don’t say anything else, Xiaoya and Cellulu have completely different personalities.”

Hisoka sneered immediately.

“You have such a poor memory, have you forgotten the real her that you saw in Cellulu’s mind so quickly?”

Feitan froze for a moment, then said angrily.

“She’s not usually like this, who can react all of a sudden! Besides, you’re just guessing yourself. You don’t know if Xiaoya is Celluloid!”

Hisoka shrugged, too lazy to argue with Feitan, right? Facts speak louder than words, just walk and watch~

The knight thought about it for a while, and indeed felt that Xiaoya was not Cellulo, but it was not that there were no similarities, he said.

“However, in terms of ability alone, Xiaoya has used several abilities such as space movement, telepathy, and telekinesis. These abilities are the same as those of Celluloid. These abilities are not interoperable. Mind power can’t be so complicated, so if she doesn’t have mind power…”

Having said this, the knight suddenly frowned in confusion, and asked the crowd blankly.

“I can’t seem to remember whether there is a flow of thought power in Xiaoya?”

When others heard it, they also showed expressions of memory, but after a while, they shook their heads one after another.

Jin only had a general impression of Xiaoya, and when he wanted to think about her, he only felt that his mind was blank, and he couldn’t remember any details. He suddenly felt that something was wrong.

“No one even thinks of it? Isn’t this normal? Even though we may not pay much attention to an unimportant stranger, the basic observation and insight are there. Is there any psychic fluctuation in a person? Can’t realize? And this little girl has played such an important role in the team, we shouldn’t forget her existence~”

Hisoka covered his mouth with the poker and narrowed his eyes.

“It’s useless, Xiaoya seems to have a very weak sense of existence now. As long as you don’t pay attention, she will be forgotten. Ilumi and I knew that she might be Celluloid, but we just couldn’t concentrate on paying attention to her. Every move, even clearly we cleared Diaojingling together, but I don’t even remember when she left.”

Illumi nodded affirmatively.

“Well, take a step back, even if she’s not Celluloid, she’s very useful, and she has contributed to the two clearances, and I’m ready to hug my thighs, but I still always ignore her subconsciously, unless She just appeared in front of me again.”

The knight recalled and found that it was indeed the case.

“You said that, it seems like this, how can it have such a strange characteristic?”

“Some people lack a sense of presence, but if Xiaoya is really celluloid, this lack of presence is not natural, it must be caused by human beings.” Jin’s eyes suddenly sharpened.

After listening to everyone’s opinions in silence, Chrollo pondered and spoke,

“Combining with what you said, if you don’t consider other possibilities and only analyze this as the truth, then I probably know the essence of the fake Elena’s ability to think – changing cognition, it should be similar to this ability.”

“Change cognition? What do you mean? Our minds have been controlled and changed? We have become puppets? Ability like a knight?” Feitan asked alertly.

“I don’t think I’ve been manipulated.” The knight denied it immediately. As an operating system, this can still be confirmed.

Illumi nodded affirmatively.

“The manipulation of the operating system is only the body, but it cannot control the mind. The thinking is free, but it can’t be expressed. This kind of change of cognition should be regarded as the ability of the trait system.”

Chrollo nodded.

“That’s right, this is not mind manipulation. If you can really manipulate your mind, it’s not the thoughts of the person being controlled, but the thoughts imposed by the manipulator on the other side. The manipulator is thinking for the other side, completely depriving the person of control. People’s free thinking, but this ability to change cognition is obviously not, it should only distort and change the way we look at things and ideas.”

Seeing Feitan didn’t seem to understand, Chrollo could only explain further.

“When an objective thing is observed with a subjective eye, what you see is different. This is the difference in cognition. The most common cognitive difference is aesthetics. For example, the same person, look at her He thinks that he is beautiful, but other people think he is normal, but the appearance of this person has not changed, but the perception of the person who sees it is different.”

Kim added, touching his chin.

“If it’s cognitive change, then it makes sense. Did you know that there are two disorders in mental illness that are about cognitive impairment? Capgras delusional syndrome and Fregeley delusional syndrome, it’s the opposite. Two symptoms, the former believes that a familiar person is replaced by another stranger of the same appearance, and the latter feels that many people around are played by the same person, which is the consequence of cognitive change.

We are obviously in the same predicament. We recognize the real celluloid as a stranger and the unfamiliar fake as the real celluloid, and don’t think it’s wrong at all, even after finding out After this is a mistake, it is still impossible to correct and get rid of this cognitive error. “

Chrollo nodded and continued to speculate.

“Going back to the ability of thinking itself, taking a name may be a necessary condition for activating the power of thinking. Although a name is only a title, it can also represent a person’s identity, which can be regarded as a unique mark. If the name is taken away, it is equal to the identity being taken away. , the foothold in the world has been taken away, without foothold and identity, naturally this person has no sense of existence in the world, which can explain why Xiaoya lacks a sense of existence.

And Elena, who took away the name of Celluloid, replaced Celluloid in the eyes of the world, so in our eyes, she is undoubtedly Celluloid.

But what Elena can change is only cognition. Emotions are attached to cognition. Cognition and emotion are subjective things, but objective things cannot be changed. Therefore, this replacement is still flawed. Let’s scrutinize, because the memory of the past is objective, and the ability of celluloid is objective. “

Illumi suddenly questioned. “But the objective facts don’t match, and it doesn’t allow me to directly confirm that this is not celluloid.”

Hisoka also answered.

“That’s right~, and, although the ability is objective, this fake once showed the same ability as Celluloid~, of course, I don’t know if that’s true, or if she just distorted us. Let us think that she has the same ability as Celluloid.”

Chrollo said without hesitation.

“It must be distorted cognition, making us mistakenly think that she has the same ability as Celluloid, otherwise we can’t explain her inaction and withdrawal when she was in Hanging Neck Ridge. I don’t know what the upper limit of this ability is, but generally speaking , the more people who need to be changed, the more difficult it will be to activate the ability.”

Then, he looked at Illumi Road again.

“As for what you said, it’s easy to understand. A person’s cognition of others is dynamic and advancing with the times. No one will use past memory to recognize a person, because people will change, and memory can only be used as a reference. Any non-fundamental, disruptive change, you just accept it as a natural progression.”

After a pause, a strange expression suddenly appeared on Chrollo’s face.

“So, what amazes me is that these objective facts are not the biggest flaws, but her words and deeds!

Obviously, personality and way of dealing with people are quite subjective things. It stands to reason that if she completely replaces Cellulo, she will imitate Cellulo’s character and way of doing things perfectly. This can also explain why Xiaoya’s personality has become what it is now. This emotionless state.

But the problem is that some of the behaviors of this fake are completely out of touch with celluloid, and even run counter to it. This flaw is deadly. Such a well-designed ability should not be easily caught in such trivial matters. , that makes people suspicious. “

The knight nodded in agreement. “Yeah, it’s too funny to change the cognitive ability so inexplicably, and the result is so rough that it makes people feel wrong all of a sudden.”

Kim asserted.

“Then there is only one explanation. She thinks it doesn’t matter if we see through it. What she wants to achieve after replacing Celluloid has nothing to do with us!”

Hisoka laughed playfully.

“Then I have an idea. The purpose of the fake is for Pariston. After all, what she did is obvious. All words and deeds that make people feel incomprehensible and inappropriate are related to Pariston.”

Hisoka told the crowd about what they had experienced before Hanging Neck Ridge.

After Jin listened, he was stunned for a while before he was speechless.

“If this is the case, it seems that it is really a human, not a ghost. It is estimated that it may be some brainless fan in the Pariston support club. I thought that Pariston really likes Celluloid, so I just want to replace it, thinking that In this way, I can get him, hehe, I suddenly feel that I don’t need to take action, let her feel Pariston’s ‘love’ well.”

The knight can’t stand the spit.

“What kind of crazy idea is this? If you like that vice-chairman, go after it yourself, what’s the point of taking away Cellulu’s identity? Besides, even if you really catch up, what’s the point? Do you like being a stand-in so much? Incomprehensible.”

After guessing the truth, Chrollo only found it extremely absurd and ridiculous.

“A substitute must realize that he is a substitute. This change of perception is obviously a two-way street. Not only do we think she is Celluloid, but the fake also thinks that she is Celluloid.”

Feitan’s anger was still running high. “Who cares what the motive of the impostor is, if you play me, you will have to pay the price!”

“I’ll take care of her later, but it’s more important to find Celluloid now,” said the knight.

Everyone had no opinion, and with a hard kick, they ran towards the road outside the village entrance.

In another dense corner of the wasteland, Cellulu walked slowly and leisurely in the courtyard. The scarecrows who had attacked along the way were all cleaned up by the ghost brother. He grinned and smirked happily. Out of the thick evil spirits.

“…hee hee…sister…fortunately you’re here…if it’s just me…these scarecrows wouldn’t take the initiative to show up… ··”

Cellulo spoke suddenly.

“The voice just now said that there are 36 levels here, and if you survive or clear 6 levels, you will be eligible to enter the passage. Although this scarecrow in the barren grassland is part of the hanging neck mountain, it does not belong to the obsession of the black dog, so I say here. It should be the same, right?”

The ghost brother laughed.

“…that’s right…the black dog is really a level…the scarecrow in the barren grassland is also a level…how about…・Sister・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

His scarlet lips licked eagerly, looking at the whole wasteland as if he were looking at a big cake.

“You are willing to go on your own, anyway, survival is considered a pass.” Cellulu was not interested.

She looked down at the ghost brother and said calmly.

“Black Dog Sha and Scarecrow are two things. Before I survived the ghost bus, it was one thing, and the ghost married was another thing. I want to know, are you actually one thing?”

The ghost brother curved the corners of his mouth strangely,

“… Of course… I am also a level… I said it before… but no one survives from my level… So…・・・Sister・・・I gave you a lot of face…and let those people survive…”

“Really? I thought you and the hag were together before, you want me to thank you for them?” Cellulu asked indifferently.

“Then there’s no need…” The ghost brother pouted sinisterly.

“So, I’ve already passed 5 levels, as long as I pass 1 level in that Mosquito Lamp Town, and then find the passage, this game is over, right?” Cellulu continued to ask.

The ghost brother smiled sadly.

“・・・That’s right・・・The levels here are big and small…easy and difficult…this is not just about strength…intelligence… Fight for luck… If you are not lucky…you may encounter a brain-burning level…even a hidden level like me…let’s tell you…mosquito Dengzhen is the last scene…combined all kinds of weird…it is still difficult and easy…but sister, you…huhuhuhu…”

Celluloid said calmly. “You’re laughing so much, it seems that I won’t be so lucky to hit the easy level?”

Ghost brother glanced at the school uniform on her body and smiled without saying a word.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The truth about Elena’s abilities is here. Also, although the previous chapter said that there are 36 levels to be cleared and 6 levels to be cleared, it scared everyone, but in fact, there are not that many. This is a miserable one, and I have to play a few more simple levels alone.
