In the world of Lin Xi, an art student in the 21st century, the bronze ring left by her grandmother is just a relic. Until the ancient ring engraved with the word "phantom" scratched her finger, and in the flash of strange light, she was already in the most cruel Meteor Street in the Hunter Continent.
During the twelve years when she was adopted by the Il family, Lin Xi changed her name to Il Xi. In this world where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the weak, she awakened the ability to have dual thoughts - the "phantom barrier" that can teleport to the ring space when danger comes, and the "heart pupil" that can read the thoughts of others by touching it. These two abilities are both a gift and a curse: every time she uses the Heart Pupil, she will randomly forget a precious memory; if she relies too much on the barrier, the traces of her existence in the real world will gradually disappear.
The gears of fate began to turn. She rescued Hisoka who was under siege, and her heart lost control for the first time, and she read the twisted aesthetics of battle and the pleasure of killing; three years later, she witnessed Chrollo leading a group to bloodbath the family, and at the moment of escape, she touched the fingertips of the group leader, and unexpectedly got a glimpse of the huge plan of "Greed Island".
From then on, she struggled to survive between these two dangerous men. Hisoka's love is destructive possession. On the top of the sky arena tower, he deliberately created contact, allowing her to clearly read the crazy obsession of "wanting to make you into the most perfect apple"; Chrollo's love is a confinement-style collection. During the waltz at Youkesin Auction, he held her hand gracefully, but in his mind was the possessive desire that "this soul is more alluring than any ancient book".
From the battle of wits on Greed Island to the decisive battle on the Dark Continent, Xi's abilities continue to be overstretched. When Hitomi becomes temporarily blind due to overuse, Chrollo uses the stolen "Book of Healing" to save her.
