Chapter 432: Hunter x Hunter World?!
Regarding Moria and Brook's 'Phantom' Operation, Im, the Five Elders, the Otherworld Strategy Committee, the Three Forces, Cipher Pol, and other Military and Political High Command members gave it a high degree of importance.
Especially Im, he only wanted to know one thing now: what World was on the other side?
To be honest, there was no need to understand it in great detail; they just needed to find one or two Key Points sufficient for confirmation. For example, if it were the Ninja World, hearing terms like Ninja, Chakra, and Land of Fire would be enough to be 80% certain.
Once the 'Identity' of the opposing World was confirmed, everything would be simple. If they could win, they would fight; if not, they would directly close the Star Gate!
However, a very strange Situation occurred...
Because the Star Gate was truly like a door, once opened, they could see the Screen Feed from both inside and outside, allowing them to observe within a short Distance.
Therefore, Crocodile, Daifuku, Oven, Cracker, and others on the other side of the Star Gate were surprised to find that although the 'Shadow Doppelganger' had clearly passed through, there was absolutely no Cannon Fire coming down, allowing it to fly over easily.
What was this Situation?
Let alone those present, even the Five Elders, Raimon, Sengoku, Kong Ming, and others watching via Live Broadcast were stunned.
What did it mean that the other side wasn't obstructing them at all?
"If we had known this, we could have just had the Shadow Doppelganger take two Transponder Snails over," Vice Chairman Gabriel of the Otherworld Strategy Committee Headquarters couldn't help but complain.
Lieutenant General Kong Ming also didn't know whether to laugh or cry, saying, "First, let the 'Shadow Doppelganger' circle around their Military formation. If there's truly no Commotion at all, then have it come back for the Transponder Snail."
But he was very puzzled. Why would the opposing World do this? Did they think the 'Shadow Doppelganger' was insignificant?
The current Situation made him feel very strange...
"But in that case, we can't even be sure if they have the Ability to detect and deal with Brook's Soul. After all, it's also possible that the other side has already discovered Brook but hasn't done anything."
Chairman Fernandez said with a speechless expression.
He sincerely felt that the opposing World's Reaction was like that of a madman, not playing by the usual rules at all?
About an hour later, Moria followed the Order of the Otherworld Strategy Committee and had the 'Shadow Doppelganger' fly back.
[Whoosh! Whoosh!]
Just as it walked out of the Star Gate holding a Transponder Snail connected to a black Line, before it had even taken two steps, a sharp Whistling Sound appeared in the air, followed immediately by two Shells exploding instantly in front of it.
The gushing hot Gunfire Flash and Shockwave engulfed the Star Gate, sending a portion of the Flame and Impact into the Star Gate.
"Hmph!"
Fortunately, Crocodile acted in time at this moment, waving his hand and throwing out a large amount of yellow Sand to block all the fire, light, and Qi. Otherwise, it really might have scorched the floor of the Biochemical Safety Station.
As for injuring anyone, that was impossible. The weakest person present was an Army Rear Admiral; the mere aftershock of a Shell couldn't be so rampant!
It was just that the Line connected to the Transponder Snail was definitely burned through.
"Damn it, the Transponder Snail is dead!"
At this moment, Gecko Moria had a look of bad luck and dissatisfaction, but his 'Shadow Doppelganger' was fine; after all, it was just a mass of Shadow.
"The other side is targeting the Transponder Snail. This shows they clearly understand what a Transponder Snail is. Their Future Sight Ability is indeed powerful..."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter in the Room of Authority sighed upon seeing this scene, "So no matter what we do, the other side has already calculated it!"
To be honest, he felt the other side was being a bit unfair; they had truly mastered Future Sight.
It was just a pity that their side's Kagaya Ubuyashiki was a bit lacking in this regard. Although he had helped the World Government avoid a wave of Casualties, as one of the Five Elders, they wouldn't thank the other side for this.
"This makes things difficult now. It seems our future Intelligence can only be understood through the verbal accounts of Brook and Moria," Saint Marcus Mars, standing nearby, said helplessly, spreading his hands.
Saint Topman Warcury said thoughtfully, "But one thing is very clear: the other side is preventing us from getting their Intelligence."
"Isn't that normal? Since it's War, they must guard against Intelligence leaks."
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn didn't find this strange at all. He only heard Saint Topman Warcury continue, "This Old Man means that since the other side already knows everything about the Future, they must have some understanding of the relative strength of both sides' Combat Power."
"If the other side feels they are Stronger than us, why don't they actively attack? Instead, they choose a stalemate. You know, an Army of tens of millions consumes astronomical amounts of Supplies every day."
Hearing his thoughts, the four fell into a brief silence. Then, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn said hesitantly.
"Is it possible that the other side knows the Star Gate can be closed, and so, to avoid being trapped in our World, they never intended to send people in from the start?"
Saint Topman Warcury frowned and nodded inwardly. There was indeed this possibility. Knowing that the Authority to open and close the Star Gate was in their hands, the other side would certainly not dare to easily step in.
Now, the Situation seemed to have fallen into a stalemate again!
On the Moon, Im was even more speechless. To be honest, relying on verbal descriptions, he really wasn't confident he could guess the 'Identity' of the opposing World, unless very classic exclusive terms appeared.
Speaking of which, even if he saw a certain character, could he really recognize them?
The appearance in reality and the image in anime were definitely different. Unless the other side was wearing extremely Familiarize attire, relying solely on looks, it wasn't necessarily possible to recognize them.
Five hours later, Brook's Soul returned, bringing back intelligence that left them speechless...
"The other side's Faction is too large. Just floating around by myself, I couldn't see much, but I did remember the approximate Position of the Artillery Emplacement," Brook said awkwardly as he Stand Up.
"Did you find the other side's Command Center? Also, the Name of their Influence/Power, or anything that looked very peculiar?" Crocodile asked, biting his smoking Cigar.
"I didn't see anything strange. Everywhere were Soldiers holding Guns, Machine Gun Fortifications, Armored Trains running on Tracks, and large numbers of Howitzers."
Brook said as he recalled, "But there's a serious problem. I couldn't understand or read the other side's language and Writing at all, so I couldn't find their Command Center."
"There was no Wa-language or English language there?"
Crocodile looked at Brook in surprise. He knew that the two Otherworlds they had encountered so far, the Kabaneri World and the Demon Slayer World, both had these two languages, although there were slight grammatical differences.
So he really hadn't expected language and Writing to be an obstacle.
"No."
Brook Shake Head with certainty and said, "Even if there was, it couldn't have been their main language."
This information left the World Government's Higher-ups even more speechless. The Difficulty had increased by another level. However, Im's eyes lit up.
A World with Writing completely different from reality!
This wasn't common in 'Japanese Anime/Manga Works', essentially narrowing down the scope significantly. The Key Point was that in his impression, there was one work whose Writing was very peculiar, and he had a rather deep impression of it.
"Could it be the Hunter x Hunter World?"
Im immediately gave an Order to the Five Elders, telling them to instruct Brook to write down the Writing he saw. A moment later, after the Order was passed down through the ranks, it reached Brook.
Brook naturally had no Opinion. He asked for a piece of Paper and wrote down over a dozen strange pieces of Writing. But after Im saw it, his face darkened.
"It's not..."
Then there was nothing he could do. After all, he was only somewhat Familiarize with 'Hunter Script'; he didn't recognize the Writing of other Otherworlds.
What should they do now?
The novel has already exceeded one million characters. Can everyone share their evaluations and Opinions on this Book? Although the Little Author cannot accept all of them, it's good to hear them.
