Ronin had prepared the materials for Impure World Reincarnation long ago. They were enemies he had captured earlier.
It was somewhat cruel, but he had no intention of showing mercy to his enemies.
This was Ronin's first time using Impure World Reincarnation. No matter how you looked at it, this was not a "bright" or "righteous" ninjutsu. Seeing him perform it, even those close to him looked at him with more complicated eyes.
Especially Kurapika.
Ronin knew exactly what Kurapika's gaze meant. He had definitely overthought things and assumed Ronin had developed this ability because he wanted to revive his clan.
But this thing really wasn't easy to explain.
So Ronin simply chose not to explain at all and directly activated the technique.
A coffin rose from the ground. When it opened, Kakin's Fourth Prince, Tserriednich, slowly stepped out from inside.
However, Tserriednich's face was now covered in countless cracks, proof that he was dead. At the same time, Ronin had also planted a kunai bearing a pre-made talisman inside his mind.
"Looks like he really is dead."
Although Tserriednich's current appearance had been forged from dust, the soul inside that vessel truly belonged to Tserriednich.
And only the dead could be summoned through Impure World Reincarnation.
That proved that all of Ronin's previous actions had genuinely succeeded in killing Tserriednich.
Ronin let out a breath of relief.
At the same time, another thought emerged in his mind: this guy, who looked the most like a member of the Netero family and possessed extraordinary talent, actually wasn't Beyond Netero's child.
Although some changes had appeared on the Fourth Prince's body at the final moment, that aura had not given Ronin an ominous feeling.
And he knew very clearly that what Beyond had left on all his children were curses.
The difference between the two auras was enormous. The final change had instead been more like what happened when the Third Prince died and was replaced.
In other words, when the Fourth Prince died, some Nen user had tried to replace him, but that replacement had failed.
It should have been because the Four Symbols Seal took effect.
"Let's go," Ronin said to Kurapika.
Since he had already brought the Fourth Prince back with Impure World Reincarnation, there was no need to keep lingering here. The sooner they retrieved the Scarlet Eyes, the less chance there would be for complications.
Kurapika naturally understood what Ronin meant.
But looking at the reincarnated Fourth Prince, he still couldn't help feeling shaken.
If they could find his clan members' cells or tissue, could this same reincarnation method be used to bring them back?
"I'd advise you to give up on unrealistic fantasies," Ronin said, naturally understanding what Kurapika was thinking. "This isn't true resurrection. Even if I could bring your clan back, they would only be surviving in a state that is neither human nor ghost."
If it were the Rinne Rebirth Technique, then the dead could truly be revived.
But the price required was something Ronin absolutely could not afford right now.
Besides, he himself didn't have much desire to revive his clan. After all, he was a transmigrator.
"Even just seeing them once would be enough," Kurapika said, voicing what was truly in his heart.
Ronin fell silent.
He knew far too well how important the Kurta Clan was to Kurapika. If it was only using Impure World Reincarnation to let Kurapika see them once, then it actually wasn't difficult.
So after hesitating for a while, he said, "Let's get the Scarlet Eyes first. After that, you can decide."
The clan members who had not left behind Scarlet Eyes would probably never be able to return to the real world and meet Kurapika. But those whose Scarlet Eyes remained could meet Kurapika through Ronin's Impure World Reincarnation.
Especially if Pairo's head really was among them, then Kurapika should be able to meet Pairo many times.
And if they found the right method, reviving Pairo might not be completely impossible either.
Ronin did not give Kurapika more hope than that.
Because the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment would be if it could not be fulfilled.
Kurapika nodded and said only two words:
"Thank you."
The Edo Tensei Tserriednich led the way in front. Ronin had preserved part of his memories, but had not fully released his permissions.
At the same time, in the corridor on the thirteenth floor of a hotel some distance away, a waiter was pushing a meal cart toward Saiyu's room.
The doorbell rang.
Inside the room, Saiyu turned his head in confusion and looked toward the door.
"Who is it?"
"Sir, your meal."
Saiyu was certain he had not ordered any food, which made the person outside highly suspicious.
"Wrong room."
He picked up the Ruyi Staff beside him, while thinking inwardly.
Beyond had told him there would only be results tomorrow. Yet now, something abnormal had happened here.
Was this Beyond's doing?
After all, right now, Beyond was the only one who knew where he was.
But why?
Saiyu couldn't quite figure it out.
As for who the enemy outside might be, he didn't need to think too hard to guess.
The Phantom Troupe.
"Sir, your meal."
The same fixed reply came from outside again. The other party continued pressing the doorbell like a wound-up machine.
Someone controlled by a Manipulator? Saiyu judged.
Then what was the purpose of this obvious attempt to alert him?
Saiyu's gaze shifted toward the window.
But just then, the ceiling directly above him suddenly shattered. At the same time, a long blade thrust up from the floor beneath his feet.
But the instant the blade pierced through the floor, the Ruyi Staff in Saiyu's hand smashed downward from above. The tremendous force sent the long blade straight back the way it had come.
At the same time, a large number of Nen bullets came raining down from the shattered ceiling above.
Saiyu spun the Ruyi Staff in his hand, blocking the path of the falling Nen bullets like a fan.
Each Nen bullet possessed enough power to tear a human body apart, but under the spinning staff, they burst apart like water balloons.
Just then, the room's window shattered.
Two figures broke in at the same time.
The ringing at the door stopped as well, replaced by gunfire. Bullets pierced through the door and swept into the room.
Saiyu's eyes shifted, taking in the entire situation at once.
With one hand, he kept spinning the Ruyi Staff to block the Nen bullets raining down from above. With the other, he reached toward the back of his head. At the same time, his feet shifted, avoiding the long blade that kept stabbing up from beneath the floor, while also using his movement to dodge the bullets sweeping in from outside the door.
He plucked a few hairs from the back of his head.
Not too many, not too few—exactly three.
With a light breath, the three strands flew toward the window. Midflight, they transformed. Aura expanded and shifted over them, and in an instant, the three hairs turned into three large macaques.
They were monkeys roughly the same height as Saiyu. Although they did not carry Ruyi Staffs, each of them gave off a powerful aura.
