The Flesh Collector's Mansion: Part 1 (人体収集家の館(1), Jintai Shūshūka no Yakata (1)) is the 67th chapter of the Hunter × Hunter manga, written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi.
Synopsis
Kurapika arrives at the Nostrade Mansion and says at the gate he was referred to by the Sengi Guild. He arrives in a room where Melody, Baise, Basho, Squala, and Shachmono Tocino are already waiting. In a flashback, Kurapika remembers the second time he came to a Sengi Guild Agent. The agent tells him he has passed and that he is amazing, having learned Nen in only six months. The agent asks Kurapika what kind of employer he wants and Kurapika tells him he wants someone with strong connections to the auction of Yorknew City. The agent tells him that employers don't usually like to take people with zero years of Hunter experience, but there are three employers that might take him as a bodyguard. First, a gun collector, second, a china collector and third, a body collector.
The scene switches back to the mansion and a butler turns on a screen. Dalzollene, Eliza and another girl appear. Dalzollene tells them that he doesn't care if they have a Hunter License, he just needs them to get what he wants. The butler gives them a data card with a list of things. One of them is the Kurta Clan's eyes. Kurapika gets pale when reading it, and Basho asks him why he is so pale because those things are only Level 1. Basho keeps rambling on, and Kurapika tells him never to speak to him again.
Dalzollene continues, if they manage to get one of these items, they will hire them. Kurapika thinks that he first needs to earn their trust. He thinks Dalzollene, the man on the monitor, is not actually the real employer. He must minimize the distance between him and the employer. He must annihilate all of the body's collectors.
Basho tries to open the door, but it doesn't open. Dalzollene then says that he forgot one thing. It isn't enough to be strong, but they also have to get out of the mansion alive. Everyone is surprised. Basho jumps in the air because suddenly a bunch of black-dressed ninjas appears. They start shooting at Baise, but she uses the butler as a human shield.
