Then, he left the ship... As the distance closed, he had already determined the location of Hero Island.
After all, there were only two small islands in this sea area.
After a long while, he rode a stolen inflatable raft, passed a very small offshore base station, and personally witnessed those mafia Nen ability users being teleported away with a stream of light.
"So this is how you enter the game... Not bad."
He praised.
He was preparing to pass through the base station, and sneak onto the island.
There was no way around it. He didn't have beta test qualifications.
However, just as the outline of the island had appeared on the distant horizon, and he had arrived in the nearshore area, Ging suddenly stopped.
"It's a bit troublesome... In that case, I can only force my way through..."
There were a large number of seagulls circling in the sky. It seemed that even the fish in the water had increased.
These weren't ordinary creatures, but were being controlled by some Nen ability.
It was obvious that they were the game barriers that had been constructed.
The number was extremely amazing.
It showed that it was a Nen ability that had been specially developed for the game, and there were quite a few people.
There were almost no blind spots... If he continued to move forward, he would definitely trigger the 'alarm'.
Besides these 'mechanisms' outside the island, there should also be corresponding defenses on land.
"Sigh..."
Ging scratched his head.
In terms of Nen ability, he could start to break through the loopholes, but... Judging from this meticulous defense, there must also be a large number of high-tech equipment and personnel deployed on the island, which was something that was difficult for him to solve.
What the mafia lacked the least was money and people, as well as weapons and technological products.
The different way of entering compared to Greed Island destined that the game created by Oboro would be more impregnable in terms of 'defense', and wouldn't give any chance to sneak in.
These were still the measures that Ging could have expected. From the information he had gathered about Oboro from the side, there would probably be back-up plans that he couldn't think of.
"Forget it. Since it's a beta test, the official release is probably not far away... I'll just wait."
After pondering for a while, Ging sighed quietly.
His figure was a bit lonely, and he rode the small boat alone again, and slowly rowed away.
He had come all this way for nothing.
Then, not long after he had just turned back, as expected... He encountered the mafia's sea patrol team.
This was a private sea, which had been bought by the Phyllis Family, and wasn't open to the public.
"This is... A bit troublesome."
The corners of Ging's mouth twitched.
At the same time that the Phyllis Family's sea patrol team had discovered him, they had probably already sent the message to the higher-ups. Even if he knocked out or defeated these people, it would be useless.
Ging thought.
He had discovered on the ship that the quality of the mafia members belonging to the Phyllis Family was much stronger than that of ordinary mafia members.
As expected of the Ten Dons' family.
They should have been intentionally trained... They attached great importance to this game.
Therefore, Ging didn't resist, and was directly caught on the ship.
Ging didn't like doing things like killing.
...
Originally, Oboro, on the other hand, was leading some newcomers in the Association, helping them grow and complete missions.
But he suddenly received a call from Mondale.
This made Oboro a bit surprised, because he had already explained before that he shouldn't be contacted unless it was important.
The mission he was currently carrying out with the Association's newcomers had almost no difficulty... Therefore, every time he reached an area, he would take the opportunity to search for the magical beasts that lived around, and start hunting.
"Hello?"
He answered the phone, and Oboro called out.
"Master, we've caught a stowaway who trespassed into the private sea, and wanted to land on the island. His name is Ging Freecss. He's a member of the Hunter Association... According to him, he seems to know you."
On a ship, Mondale looked at the man who was tied up, sitting on the ground, with a disgruntled expression, and hesitated.
Ging Freecss?
Oboro's heart stirred. He wasn't surprised.
It wasn't difficult to see from the original story that Ging Freecss had curiosity and a nature for adventure since he was a child. In addition, given the special nature of Hero Island, it was only normal that he would come.
It was just that he was preparing to sneak in during the beta test... Oboro had thought that Ging Freecss might appear when the official release came.
"Interesting..."
Oboro smiled.
With Ging's strength, wanting to break free or eliminate the Phyllis Family's Nen ability users was easy. He hadn't done so, and had been caught... Was it because he felt guilty? Or was it because of him?
"Put him on the phone."
Oboro instructed.
"Yes."
Mondale responded, turned his head, and handed the phone to Ging, signaling his subordinates to untie the man.
After regaining his freedom, Ging Freecss slowly stood up, looked at the phone that was being handed to him, and hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't really want to answer it.
Seeing this, Mondale frowned, and his eyes turned cold.
After pondering for a moment, Ging still took the phone, and called out, "I'm Ging Freecss."
"You're a bit disheveled..."
Oboro said jokingly.
"..."
Ging.
"I just wanted to experience your game. I don't have any extra thoughts." Ging scratched his head, and explained in a somewhat awkward and stiff tone.
"I understand."
Oboro smiled, "It's not difficult for you to get my contact information. Why didn't you try to find me?"
"..."
Ging was silent again, and the expression on his face became a bit impatient. He sensed Oboro's teasing.
He changed the subject, "If there's nothing else, can you have your people let me go?"
"Don't be in a hurry. Let's talk when we meet."
Oboro said.
"Meet?"
These two words made Ging Freecss's eyes light up, "You should be in a very far place right now, right?"
"The power of Nen is full of infinite possibilities, isn't it?"
Oboro answered vaguely, and hung up the phone.
Ging Freecss looked at the phone, and his expression became interested.
And Oboro, who was in a distant place, put the phone in his pocket, and directly used the summoner skill Teleport. He only saw a pillar of light fall from the sky, enveloping him, and then it began to count down.
After a few seconds, he himself, along with the scattered specks of light, disappeared from the spot.
Outside the bridge of Hero Island's main island, a stream of light that spanned the sky fell to the ground, revealing Oboro's figure.
He didn't enter the game. Instead, he had Mondale bring Ging over to meet him.
A dozen minutes later, a fast boat speeding on the sea quickly approached.
Oboro put his hands in his pockets, stood on the edge of the island, and smiled.
At the same time, Ging Freecss also saw the solitary figure standing on the land.
At this moment, the two people's gazes seemed to have crossed paths even though they were thousands of meters away.
After a while, surrounded by a group of mafia members, Ging stepped onto the rubble piled up on the beach, and came to Oboro.
Oboro's eyes under his sunglasses unscrupulously sized up Ging Freecss.
Ging was also examining him... A broken home, a down-and-out divorced tramp.
Looking at Ging, whose hair was messy and unkempt, Oboro put a label of first impression on him.
Even the mafia's neat suit couldn't hide the sloppiness on this person.
The aura he emitted was okay. It was a bit unremarkable, which meant that it was difficult to see through him...
After bowing to Oboro, Mondale and the others led their subordinates away, and left the space for the two of them.
Ging Freecss on this side was also recalling.
A few months ago, he had received a call from the Chairman, but it was just a chat... During this time, a few words that the old man had said were still fresh in Ging's memory.
