Chapter 132 The Strange Electric Fish, Ya
Chapter 132 Qi the Electric Fisher Ya
Returning to the seabed, this time, I didn't encounter any more hallucinations.
The group noticed that there were many fragments of conch shells scattered on the ground. They had noticed the conch shells on the platform when they first arrived, but they were all intact then, but now they were all broken into pieces.
Who did it? Apart from the only person who remained conscious at the time, probably no one else would have done it.
Thinking back to the hallucination I had not long ago, I began to have some guesses.
"Sir, is the hallucination we're experiencing related to these seashells?" Maro asked.
"It should be related to the music played by these conch shells," Su Wu said after stroking her chin.
The conch shell itself is harmless; the problem lies in the music preserved by the conch shell, which, combined with the musical notes on the totem, caused them to hallucinate.
It seems there are indeed some problematic pieces of music in the Hunter x Hunter world... I remember there was a character in the original work whose appearance changed drastically after listening to music he shouldn't have? Or was he cursed?
The name of that music was something like... Dark Sonata? Dark Bible? Anyway, it had the word "dark" in it.
A name that immediately suggests a connection to the Dark Continent.
In every world, mermaids seem to be associated with singing...
There must have been mermaids singing there, and these seashells recorded it.
After all, you can still hear the sound of the ocean if you pick up an ordinary seashell and put it to your ear.
"I suggest you shut down your hearing, as you may encounter sound-related obstacles later..." Su Wu said casually.
As for himself... he's fine. The effects of his Nen ability last for 24 hours, so he won't be fooled by illusions during that time.
Maro, trusting his master completely, was the first to shut off his hearing.
"..." Killua and Gon exchanged a glance and followed suit.
After all, they don't have the means to deal with hallucinations, so they can only rely on other methods to prevent them.
The group continued walking forward, passing the central sculpture and reaching the rear half of the building. What greeted them was a group of organized, disciplined, and densely packed fish.
Its entire body is dark blue with white horizontal stripes, each about 1.2 meters long, and it has sharp teeth. Like a patrol team, it moves around the palace in front of it.
The group had no doubt that those teeth could easily bite through a person's bones.
As they continue to approach, the fish turn to stare at them, and as they retreat, the fish continue their patrol.
While the other three couldn't hear it, Su Wu could hear the ethereal singing coming from the palace ahead.
He couldn't understand the meaning of the song, and Su Wu was in a state of emotional numbness at the moment, which meant that he couldn't understand the emotional expression of the song from the singing.
I couldn't sense any emotion at all.
Judging from the surrounding environment, the music probably won't cause any particularly bad consequences, otherwise we should be seeing a scene of corpses strewn everywhere.
But the environment here was quite clean, and there wasn't even a single corpse nearby.
However, it's also possible that the bodies were eaten by the fish, or perhaps no one had ever reached this place before and had already perished due to various accidents.
"The fish are in trouble. Who's going to take care of them?" Su Wu turned around, pointed at the fish, and mouthed the question to the three of them.
Even if the three of them couldn't hear the sounds, they could still understand lip reading.
As they deciphered lip reading, their gazes all fell upon the school of fish in front of the palace not far away.
Su Wu vaguely remembered that Killua's ability... seemed to be like that of a certain yellow electric mouse, which was to generate electricity?
Releasing electric fish from the seabed should be quite effective, right?
But has the other party grasped this yet?
"Killua, go, use your electric shocks to take care of them all." Su Wu reached out and patted Killua's shoulder, then waved his hand, pointing towards the school of fish.
"...???" Killua's face was full of confusion.
Discharging? What kind of discharge? How to discharge?
His expression clearly revealed that he didn't know how to use this skill yet.
"Didn't you receive electric shock training from a young age? The Transmutation type can change the nature of air, and you already have electricity in your body, so you can also discharge electricity..." Su Wu looked at Killua and said in a matter-of-fact tone.
However, it seems that Killua needs to be charged? Maro is also a Transmutation type, but his method is to condense water vapor in the air into ice.
Killua seemed to be deep in thought, then suddenly realized something.
Thinking about it this way, it seems like he really can do it! Other people's Nen abilities are all flashy and look cool, but he and Gon can only use the basic methods right now and haven't developed their own Nen abilities at all.
Now that he'd heard that, he immediately thought of the special abilities he could develop.
Unless someone receives electric shock training from a young age like him, they cannot use the ability to use electricity. How can such an ability not be considered special?
But how should it be used...?
He raised his hand, pondering and tentatively figuring out how to use it. In just a few minutes, he could see electricity appear around him.
Xiao Jie and Maro, who were standing to the side, felt a tingling sensation from the electric shock and quickly took a few steps back.
Underwater, his range of abilities seemed to be slightly enhanced.
Su Wu watched this scene, not surprised that the other party had mastered the method so quickly. After all, Killua and Gon were officially recognized geniuses from the original work... As for the protagonists, it's understandable no matter how they perform.
"Let me give it a try." Killua walked towards the school of fish ahead.
Step by step, the electric current around his body gradually spread.
Blue and white lightning flashed and crackled.
Sensing that the other was approaching, the school of fish turned around, opened their mouths, revealing a mouthful of sharp shark teeth, and rushed towards Killua.
Just as they were about to make contact with Killua, the blue and white lightning suddenly became incredibly intense, engulfing the school of fish.
The crackling sounds continued, and the fish were frozen in place by the electric shock. In just a few seconds, when the electric light disappeared, all the fish were unable to move, and those closest to the source were even charred.
Even those of them standing some distance away could feel a subtle tingling sensation.
Seawater is an electrical conductor.
"Wow, Pikachu!" Su Wu clapped her hands.
It's almost identical, but unfortunately it's missing a famous line.
"If you shout 'Pikachu!' while unleashing your skill, the skill's power will be amplified several times over," Su Wu said seriously to Killua as he walked back.
"...Really?" Killua looked at the other person with a hint of suspicion.
He always felt... given this guy's twisted sense of humor, he wasn't telling the truth.
And why does he shout "Pikachu" when he unleashes his skill? It's his ability, how could the other party know it better than him?
It's a lie; he's probably just being played.
"Wow, Killua is amazing!" Gon looked at the fish corpse in front of him, his eyes filled with a mixture of admiration and determination.
Killua has figured out his ability's inclination, and he needs to catch up with his opponent quickly! He can't fall behind!
"What do you think I am? What kind of abilities do I have?" Xiao Jie looked at the white-haired, blue-eyed boy with tattoos standing to the side.
Killua mastered the skills with the other party's guidance, so could the other party also give him some pointers?
"...Why not just use your fists if you're an Enhancement type?" Su Wu said after a moment of silence.
Prejudice! This is absolutely prejudice!
"Huh?" Xiao Jie looked completely bewildered.
He's using his fists now too.
"Enhancement can enhance anything, um... just follow that direction. Oh right, the similar direction to enhancement is emission, so you can learn emission too," Su Wu said with a shrug.
He didn't know much about Enhancement-types, but he knew more about West Germany, which was an Emission-type.
The Enhancement and Emission types are quite similar, so it should be fine.
In the original work, Gon's ability seems to be using his fists? And it's called Rock-Paper-Scissors? That's not much different from what he said. For Enhancement-type users, using their fists is a reasonable suggestion.
From this perspective, I think I have a knack for being a teacher because I'm good at giving advice.
Eat first, we'll do more in the next chapter.
