Hunter x Hunter: Transmigrated with Character Extraction System

It would take thirty minutes.

Thirty minutes might seem short, but it's enough.

The elevators were modified; each activation only goes up one floor. Reactivation requires a one-minute interval.

The Troupe wouldn't use the elevators; doing so would surrender them to Loki. If they enter an elevator, Loki, on the sixty-fourth floor, would open the doors and unleash flames.

The elevator shaft is narrow; their only escape is the stairs. The stairs are wider, with obstacles on the upper floors. Loki can't attack lower floors from the sixty-fourth.

Of course, there are traps on the stairs. Loki's traps will only be revealed once they're triggered.

Loki hoped the Troupe would attack from the air; he has the advantage in aerial combat. With Geppo and Shigan, Loki could end the fight the instant his blade pointed at them. On the ground, they might dodge, but in the air, without aerial mobility, they can't dodge Shigan.

The outside civilians can't stop the Troupe.

Gunfire erupted. At the top, Loki deactivated his Ken and activated his Byakugan.

The moment Loki deactivated his Ken, the Troupe's movements changed. They were on high alert. Was Loki about to attack? To defend against him, they slowed down. Deactivating his Ken bought the Troupe a few seconds.

Bang bang bang! The Troupe entered the building. The mafia outside fell; burning cars filled the air with smoke. The outside looked like a battlefield.

Machi stood in the brightly lit lobby; few mafia remained; Feitan had killed them.

"Feitan, did the Flame Kid appear?"

Feitan wiped the blood from his hands, shaking his head. "No."

Franklin, Phinks, Shizuku, and Nobunaga appeared one after another. Everyone was there except Hisoka.

"Where's Hisoka?!" Machi asked, putting down his phone after contacting Hisoka. "I can't reach him."

"That guy ran away!" Feitan said coldly.

Shalnark shook his head. "No. Hisoka isn't afraid of death."

Shizuku said, "Then why did he disappear?"

"I don't know. Hisoka seemed... strange," Shalnark said, his expression serious.

Franklin said, "Did the Flame Kid kill him?"

"Possible, but there should have been noise. There wasn't; it's unlikely."

"We're in. The auction's upstairs," Shalnark said, having gotten information from the mafia.

They looked upstairs. "We should have used the flying ship."

"No. That would've given us to the Flame Kid. He can attack from the air; we'd have nowhere to hide."

Machi looked at Franklin, then at the others. "Let's go! Our goal is to find the Flame Kid, kill him, and take the auction items. Don't let him escape."

Machi looked seriously at Feitan and Nobunaga.

"Following the Leader's plan, if you find the Flame Kid, you can fight him. If you can't kill him, everyone attacks; try to capture him; only kill him if you can't capture him."

Nobunaga and Feitan nodded. "Don't worry. We won't disobey the Leader."

"Kortopi, Pakunoda, Franklin, you three stay downstairs. If the Flame Kid escapes, stop him."

The Troupe thought Loki was strong but not invincible. Three people were enough to stop him. If they knew Loki hadn't used his full power last time, they might not have made this arrangement.

The others prepared to go upstairs. Shizuku went to the elevator, but Machi stopped her.

"Don't use the elevator. The shaft is narrow. If the elevator breaks, falling down isn't fun."

Shizuku looked at the elevator. "Then we'll use the stairs."

"Since he put the auction at the top, he prepared traps. Be careful."

At the top of the building, a mafia member said, "Mr. Loki, the enemy is inside. Won't you act?"

The mafia member was terrified; a few people had killed hundreds in minutes. More were coming, but what could they do against these monsters?

"Don't worry. They'll take time," Loki said, turning to the mafia member. His white cloak fluttered; he smiled faintly.

"When they reach the fortieth floor, have everyone leave from the roof!"

"Leave?" The mafia member was stunned. "But the auction..."

"If you don't leave, you'll die. Choose."

"Die? Mr. Loki, you're not confident?"

Loki shook his head, smiling. "No. If you don't leave, you won't be killed by them; you'll be killed by me."

The mafia member didn't understand.

"Why? Aren't you here to deal with them?"

"Yes, but I didn't say I'd protect you."

Loki looked at the Troupe members coming up. He put his hand on the window.

"Too many enemies. It's troublesome to fight them one by one. Let's bury them with this building!"

Loki smiled. "If you don't escape before I destroy this building, you'll die."

Destroy a building?! The mafia looked at Loki's faint smile.

'He's joking!' 'Destroying this building? Even thousands of rockets couldn't do it!'

The building was two hundred meters tall, with over sixty floors. It was incredibly strong. No one could destroy it! "Mr. Loki, you're joking!"

But Loki's gaze was calm; his smile didn't change. He wasn't joking.

'Crazy!' 'He's serious!' The mafia members involuntarily stepped back, fear in their eyes.

Suddenly, the mafia member realized something. Loki had put the auction at the top to lure the enemy upstairs, trapping them. Jumping from two hundred meters wouldn't leave anyone unscathed.

Thump! The mafia member fell to the ground, looking at Loki in terror.

Loki smiled and walked towards him, patting his shoulder. "Don't be afraid. You can escape. Before they arrive, get a spaceship. You have about twenty minutes."

"You mafia can do it, right?"

Getting a spaceship wasn't a problem, but twenty minutes was extremely tight.

"Why didn't you tell us earlier?!"

"If I did, the enemy would know. That wouldn't work."

"If we can't escape, we'll all die!"

"Those at the auction are high-ranking mafia. If they die, the Ten Dons will kill you."

Loki smiled faintly. "If the Ten Dons want to kill me, let them try." His voice was icy.
