HxH: God of Choice System - Chapter 317
Chapter 317: Outside World
Hearing Allan mentioning the Dark Continent, Menchi was surprised: “Do you know that place?”
“Well, it is said that there are all kinds of creatures there and the Chimera Ants originated from that place,” Allan said.
Menchi nodded and said: “Yeah, the dark continent is a mysterious place, there is barely any information about it, and each time a human sets foot on it, they will bring back a disaster.”
That’s why the V5 signed a treaty prohibiting any humans from going there without their permission.
“I heard that Chairman Netero has been there before,” Allan said.
“Yes, Chairman Netero has indeed been there, and he is one of the few people who returned successfully,” Menchi replied.
Allan asked confusedly: “Then when you were talking is not the dark continent? What do you mean the outside world?”
Menchi replied: “I wasn’t talking about the dark continent.”
Allan couldn’t help his curiosity: “Then what are talking about? Are there other places outside the world?”
Menchi said seriously: “Actually, based on my personal experience, I learned that there are other continents besides the dark continent.”
Allan nodded and listened intently.
“It’s different from the dark continent, Humans live there.”
“How do I get there?” Allan asked.
If there are other continents with humans in this world, it will be a huge discovery.
“Do you know the Bilgai Desert?” Menchi asked.
Allan thought for a bit then nodded: “Well, I’ve heard about it. It is said to be one of the three biggest and harshest places in the world. A very dangerous place.”
Menchi explained: “The Bilgai Desert is located in the Republic of Rokario. Only licensed hunters can enter that area.”
Hearing this, Allan complimented: “Menchi, you really know a lot about this, are you going there in the future?
However, what I want to know is, what does that desert have to do with the continent where other humans live?”
Menchi thought for a while before she said: “As far as I know, the Bilgai Desert seems to have a passage to the outside world.”
Allan seemed really excited: “Where is that passage? How did you know about it?”
“I went to the Bilgai Desert once, and when I was looking for food, I saved a person in that desert.”
Hearing this, Allan pondered: “It seems like this person wasn’t an ordinary person. Could it be a human from the outside world?”
Menchi said: “The language he spoke was different from our own, but the pronunciation was similar.
As a gourmet hunter, I’m familiar with many languages, so I quickly come to understand what he’s saying.
What surprised me was this person was a gourmet.
Because of some accident, this person came to our world by chance.
In fact, he didn’t know that he came to a different continent or world at all.
But while communicating with him, I learned that he didn’t come from our world.
According to him, he came from the outside world.
Therefore, I learned that our current world isn’t the only place with humans.”
“What’s that person’s name?” Allan asked curiously.
“He is called Komatsu,” Menchi said.
“Komatsu?” (T/N: Toriko’s cook, or whatever, didn’t actually watch Toriko.)
Allan frowned. The name is familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he heard it.
The name was quite ordinary, so it wouldn’t be strange that he heard it from somewhere.
Immediately afterward, Allan asked: “Where is that Komatsu now? Has he gone back?”
Menchi nodded: Well, Komatsu already left. When he left, he invited me to go with him. But I refused because, at that time, I still fear the outside world.
This fear originated from the Dark Continent.
I started wondering whether Komatsu was from the Dark Continent or not, but after reading some ancient books, I discovered that there are many unknown areas in the world besides the dark continent.
It was unknown whether these areas were inhabited by humans or not, but from what I have experienced, it seems that some of them have humans.
So, I believed what Komatsu said and knew that there are other humans on other continents.”
After hearing this, Allan was lost in thought.
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Menchi: “You told me about this, do you want me to accompany you there?”
“Yeah, but to be precise, I want to leave this continent and see the outside world, not necessarily go to the continent where Komatsu is located, because I think there are many unknown places in the world,” Menchi explained.
