I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

However, the ninjas' scribbled symbols seal ninjutsu and tools, while the hunters seal specific kinds of Nen within the scribbled symbols of God.

"The 'divine' character inside this Ferris wheel cabin is probably infused with enhancement-type Nen," Jing Yang speculated. "It likely stores the enhancement-type's excellent regenerative abilities in the form of the 'divine' character, which automatically activates upon contact with our Qi..."

Little Drop asked curiously, "Why did it activate? We didn't do anything after we came in."

"I think so?" Jing Yang laughed. "In order to recover your Qi as quickly as possible, you also maintained the Binding Technique, didn't you? After practicing Binding Technique until it becomes an instinct, even if it can't match the recovery speed of 'Absolute,' it's definitely much better than letting your Qi naturally dissipate. -- If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't have this kind of performance."

"Oh." Little Drop nodded.

“Of course, it’s also possible that activating the character ‘God’ requires a level of mental power beyond that of an ordinary person,” Jing Yang said. “I’ve heard that the character ‘God’ is very troublesome to draw, taking up a lot of time and energy, and once it’s drawn, it can’t be moved. So its practical application in combat isn’t very high…”

Little Drop nodded, "Oh..."

Jingyang studied the character "神" for a while longer, but couldn't figure it out.

The two sat facing each other in the only cabin with the lights on, their gazes rising slowly as the Ferris wheel turned.

Looking at the more than twenty unlit cabins in the darkness, Xiao Di asked curiously, "Are there any of those cabins with the character 'God' on them too?"

"I don't know," Jing Yang said casually, then, looking at Xiao Di's profile as she gazed out the window, he suddenly asked, "Xiao Di, why did you agree so easily?"

"Huh?" Xiao Di turned her head, still with that adorable, expressionless look. "Agree to what?"

Jingyang laughed and said, "If you lose, you'll have to acknowledge me as your boss. You're not planning to renege on your debt, are you? If you're going to renege, go somewhere else. You have nowhere to run around here."

The Ferris wheel was almost at its highest point when Xiao Di looked out the window at the amusement park at night and said, "I didn't renege on my promise. You're the boss, after all."

"Then let me test you, what is my code name?"

"First."

"And yours?"

"Second."

"Your memory isn't that bad," Jing Yang laughed. "Our Dawn of the Morning organization's first rule: Listen to the boss! Got it?"

“I’ve got it.” After saying that, Xiao Di asked, “Isn’t it ‘Xiao’?”

"Xiao is her nickname; her formal name is Dawn of the Dawn..."

"What's the meaning?"

Jingyang asked, "Where can there be dawn, where can there be daybreak?"

Little Drop thought for a moment and replied, "Night?"

"Yes, the night!"

Jingyang leaned back in his seat and looked out at the night view. He looked down at the bustling amusement park as if he were a small part of the scenery.

"Little Di, have you ever heard of the 'Dark Continent'?"

“No,” Little Drop said.

She forgets things she doesn't care about the moment they're mentioned. Therefore, Jingyang suspects that even if Xiaodi had heard of knowledge about the Dark Continent—a topic the Hunter world intentionally avoids discussing and detaches from mainstream understanding—she might forget it immediately…

The Ferris wheel passed its highest point, continued to rotate, and descended...

Jing Yang crossed his still-not-so-long legs, spread his arms, leaned back in his chair, and laughed: "The Akatsuki's first target: the Dark Continent. We must go, we have no choice."

"Oh." Little Drop nodded, then asked curiously, "What kind of place is that?"

"It's precisely because I know nothing about that place that I'm curious and want to go see it."

"Oh..." Little Drop looked like she suddenly understood.

Jing Yang then casually recounted the little information he knew about the Dark Continent from the comics, such as immortal rice, endless stones that generate electricity, ancient cities, and unknown life forms. Without him having to repeat himself, Xiao Di was already filled with curiosity and became interested in the unknown place he described, which was hundreds, thousands, or possibly tens of thousands of times larger than the currently known human world.

However, Jingyang doubted how long her curiosity and interest would last.

Forgot as soon as you turned your head?

“You haven’t answered my question yet,” Jingyang said. “Generally speaking, losing an arm wrestling match isn’t enough to warrant betting your entire fortune and acknowledging someone else as your boss, is it?”

Little Drop asked, "Are you worried that I'll betray you?"

"That's true to some extent," Jingyang said. "What comes easily feels like it will be easy to lose suddenly."

Little Drop said, "I won't."

This time, she didn't avoid Jingyang's question. "Because there's nothing really to do anyway. Listening to you, at least there'll be something to do."

It seems so casual, yet there's a reason why it doesn't seem casual...

Just then, a small dark shadow appeared in the distance and knocked on the cockpit window with a thud.

Xiao Di turned her head and saw a small gray bird. The gray bird was clinging to the windowsill with its two claws, pecking at the glass with its little beak as it looked at Jing Yang inside.

Jingyang waved to Yan Que and asked, "Have you always been traveling alone?"

Xiao Di looked away. "Yes."

"There's nothing 'real' to do, meaning there used to be something to do?"

"I came here to find talent."

"come out?"

"I guess you could call it my hometown," Shizuku said. "It's Meteor City."

She looked at Jingyang.

However, Jingyang's reaction was completely different from what was expected. He asked curiously, "Does Meteor Street really have 800 million residents?"

"I have no idea……"

"Is it that you don't know, or that you don't remember?"

Little Drop honestly replied, "I don't remember."

If Meteor City really has 800 million residents, it could basically be considered a small country.

Jingyang asked, "Have you found the person you're looking for?"

I'm guessing it's the Phantom Troupe. If I remember correctly, in the Chimera Ant arc of the manga, the disbanded ant army leader ran to Meteor City intending to establish his own kingdom, and Meteor City simply sent a few members of the Phantom Troupe back to resolve the problem... This is enough to prove that the Phantom Troupe is quite famous in Meteor City.

"No," Little Drop replied.

"What kind of people are they?"

"It's precisely because we know nothing about them that we're curious and want to go and see for ourselves."

"why are you laughing?"

Little Drop asked in confusion, "Did I laugh?"

“You did smile, but it was fleeting.” Jing Yang walked over, put two index fingers on Xiao Di’s lips, and gently pulled them upwards and to the sides. “Because you’ve always been so blank, I’ve never seen you have any other expressions, so it was easy to notice.”

"Oh……"

Xiao Di started analyzing it herself, "Maybe it's because the conversation was similar to when I asked about the Dark Continent earlier, which I found very interesting, so I laughed."

The adorable, bespectacled girl's appearance reminded Jingyang of her expression in the Yorknew City arc of the manga, when she received the prophecy poem from Chrollo and deciphered her own death date—she had a similar expression, just without any particular emotion.

"And you?" Little Drop asked curiously.

"Me?" Jingyang said, "It's a long story, so let's not talk about it!"

"Oh." Little Drop didn't ask any further questions, pointing to the menacing gray bird outside the window, "Should we deal with it?"

The little rock tit's pecking at the window stopped abruptly.

"Ignore it."

The only cabin on the Ferris wheel with its lights on slowly rotated to the ground. Jing Yang smiled, got up, and jumped off. "The second rule of the Akatsuki: Among comrades, help each other, do not interfere with each other, and do not betray each other."

Xiao Di looked at him and said, "Okay."

"You smiled again."

"no?"

"Laughed."

"Oh... okay then."

……

They opened the cockpit door and walked out talking as they went. Soon, the little gray bird swooped over and was caught by Jing Yang with one hand.

"What are you doing?" Jingyang flicked Yan Que's head.

"Chirp chirp!" the rock sparrow chirped twice.

Little Drops belatedly realized, "It's your pet."

"What pet? I just picked it up from the roadside." Jing Yang let go of his hand with disgust, and the little gray bird landed on his shoulder and pecked his face in dissatisfaction.

The two strolled out of the special Ferris wheel facility. Suddenly, Jingyang stopped and, under Xiaodi's questioning gaze, turned back to look at the still Ferris wheel, whose lights had been completely turned off and blended into the night.

"The founder of Blanchett was a professional hunter named Arantelle Blanchett, and those 'god' words might have been his creation..."

Jingyang muttered to himself, then suddenly turned to Xiaodi and asked, "The character 'God' is visible to the naked eye, right?"

"Mmm." Little Drop nodded.

"The objects materialized by a materialization-type Nen user are also physical entities. Before they are deactivated and revert to a cloud of energy, they are not much different from real objects."

Jingyang recalled the details from the comic.

When Kurapika fought Uvogin of the Phantom Troupe, even when Uvogin used "Gathering," he couldn't tell whether the chains on Kurapika's hands were a product of Nen manifestation or real chains.

The character for "god" is similar; although it's a product of thought, it's still a physical character, visible to the naked eye of ordinary people. That's why, to those unfamiliar with it, it simply appears as a bunch of gibberish…

Little Di asked curiously, "What came to mind?"

Jing Yang laughed and said, "If we keep searching for Ouqima like this, we probably won't get any results. Let's just change our target and focus on finding the 'God' character! It's all business with the same company, so maybe they're using the same methods..."

"She acknowledged you as her boss?"

Menqi was shocked when he learned about this.
