Chapter 70: Machi's Call
German used a meat saw to cut down a tree for building materials.
When he cut off the branches and leaves of the tree, leaving only the trunk, he noticed that there were many wild animals nearby, staring at his uninvited guest.
These beasts seemed to be quite wary and hostile to the human who rashly broke into their territory.
German, the so-called "beast hunter", is now really living among the beasts.
In fact, the real beast hunter should be Nakulu, the disciple of Mo Laowu, who is still a one-star hunter.
Mo Laowu and Nakulu, the master and apprentice, will play a very important role in the future Chimera Ant invasion.
The duty of the beast hunter is to maintain the balance in nature, protect rare beast species, and restrict fierce and brutal or over-reproducing beast species.
Nakulu has definitely done this.
German has his own way, and even another way to interpret "beast hunter".
In any case, German will live here for a while. If he can get along well with the beasts, it will naturally be the best, but if he can't, there is no way.
Let's talk about the law of the wild, the law of the jungle.
He had just moved the felled tree trunk back to the designated open space when he heard his cell phone ring. He took it out of his pocket and saw that the caller ID read "Bad Woman".
The words in the Hunter World are a bit abstract, but the memories of the original body, coupled with the adaptation over the past few months, have made it possible for Germain to read and write without any problems.
What did she call for? Germain pondered. The last time the "Through the Mind" fee was paid in full, it could only be...
"Maggie." Germain answered the phone, without making small talk, and asked directly, "What's the matter?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds, and then Maggie's voice came.
"Last November, when you joined the Phantom Troupe, didn't the leader say that there would be a 'group activity' this year?" Maggie's tone was still cold, "The latest instructions have come down. I'll pass it on to you."
"On February 12, we will meet in the 'Valentine's Capital' of Saint Valentine. All members must participate. As for the goal, the leader will explain it at that time."
It was indeed this matter. Germann guessed right.
The organizational structure of the Phantom Troupe is a bit like a pyramid scheme. Under normal circumstances, Germann cannot contact Kuroro. Any instructions are told to him by Machi, the upper line.
In a sense, he was introduced to Kuroro by Machi and developed as a lower line.
Germann remembered the night he came to this world, and the Phantom Troupe gathering that should not have existed, and he was more convinced that this "collective activity" should not have happened.
In other words, it may exist in the original timeline, but without the conditions for all members of the Phantom Troupe to participate, everyone still did their own things.
Germann's arrival caused some changes.
However, it doesn't matter what it is.
He didn't want to participate in the "activity" of the Phantom Troupe in the first place, not to mention that the time conflicts with his own training time.
It's just that he doesn't have the ability to tear his face with the Phantom Troupe now, and it will be quite troublesome to fight against the members of the Phantom Troupe.
If it's someone like Wojin who likes to fight alone, he can't say that he will definitely win, but at least he can fight.
If it were other members, they would most likely go together to ensure that Germain was killed at the lowest cost and not give him any chance to counterattack.
Germain does not have the "resurrection" ability like Hisoka. He can only teleport himself to the Dark Continent at the most dangerous moment.
He now needs strength, teammates and time. The former two are being catalyzed and added in an orderly manner, so what he needs most at present is to delay time.
Even if it is only delayed for one or two months, it will be fine until his practice has results.
Germain needs an excuse to satisfy his multiple identities as a Meteor Streeter, a Dark World Killer, the 8th member of the Phantom Troupe, and a Beast Hunter.
It doesn't matter what kind of person he really is. What matters is what kind of person he has become in the eyes of the Phantom Troupe members in the past few months?
Killing many killers and unlicensed hunters is in line with Germain's usual style.
It is not strange to take the hunter exam and get a license. The knight has a hunter license, and Hisoka is a candidate of the same period, but he just didn't pass it.
In order to fight the enemy in the middle of the night, Machi was invited in early, which shows how belligerent he is.
The woman with unknown appearance and name killed more than half of the "Yin Beast members" and walked away, forcing the "Ten Old Men" to withdraw the bounty on him.
In this way, "German" should be a bloodthirsty, public-loving, and purposeful person in the eyes of the Phantom Troupe members.
"What's wrong?" Machi had a bad feeling when he didn't hear a reply for a long time, "You don't want to say that you can't come?"
"I really don't want to go." German replied, "I thought the Phantom Troupe would be a free organization. I joined it because of this, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome."
"What's the trouble?" Machi retorted, "The Phantom Troupe has been an organization with the leader as the brain and the twelve members as the legs and feet since the beginning."
"Chrollo explained this on the first day you joined."
German said, "The leader has great power. By the way, if a member dies, the person who kills the member can join, so what about the leader?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"What do you want to say?" Machi's tone was a little surprised. "If you have some crazy ideas, it's better not to say them out."
"I don't want to fight Kuroro like Hisoka." Germann changed the subject, "But, since Kuroro can be the leader, then theoretically, I can be the leader too, right?"
"I don't like the current Phantom Troupe. If I were the leader of the Phantom Troupe, there wouldn't be these rules now."
"If Kuroro is willing to hand over the position of leader to me..."
Beep--Machi hung up the phone without saying a word, which showed her anger.
In the rules of the Phantom Troupe, there is indeed a clause that the troupe is greater than the leader. Once the leader dies, someone else must be found to inherit the position of leader.
As long as it is for the good of the troupe, the leader can also be sacrificed.
But the rules are dead, and the friendship and trust of many years are alive.
Members such as Machi and Paknoda can't treat their childhood friends coldly like machines.
Germann looked at the screen of the mobile phone and shook his head.
"In this way, we have a messenger."
He turned off his phone and watched the screen go dark.
"For the next month or so, I will completely cut off contact with the outside world and immerse myself in practice."
He did not tell Biscuit or the Hunter Association about the upcoming action of the Phantom Troupe, because it was meaningless.
Chrollo did not deliberately explain the goal, but only explained the time and place of the reunion, just to ensure that the plan would not be leaked as much as possible.
Of course, it was also to prevent Hisoka's surprise attack. He knew why Hisoka joined the Phantom Troupe.
With his caution, once he found something wrong near the gathering place, this "gathering" would be terminated, and he would start from the beginning to find out the reason for the plan leak.
Not to mention that Germain now asked to recommend himself as the leader and refused to participate in the "gathering". After Machi told Chrollo about the situation, Chrollo would definitely take corresponding actions.
