Hinrigh joins the Phantom Troupe in their search for the Heil-Ly hideout in Hunter x Hunter chapter 398
Hunter x Hunter chapter 398, titled Search, opens with Nobunaga, Phinks, and Feitan forcing the citizen from Room 3102 to open the door to the Room 3101 restroom. After he opened and entered it, the three asked the citizen to also enter the room. However, all of these doors were locked, suggesting that the old man had locked the room to confuse the searchers.

Looking at all the hints, the three Phantom Troupe members determined that the teleportation technique placed upon the room might only be triggered through the door. Thus, they asked the citizen to go out and re-enter the room from the front door, but he tried to run away.
Feitan quickly caught up to him and forced him to enter the room. The citizen instantly got teleported, which confirmed their landmine type of technique theory, wherein it would only activate upon a person entering the room. To confirm whether the technique was applicable continuously, Feitan got another citizen to enter the room, who also vanished into thin air.
As the Phantom Troupe was preparing to get teleported, Cha-R underboss Wang and Xi-Yu underboss Hinrigh interrupted them as Hinrigh wanted to join them in the search for the Heil-Ly hideout. He proposed a plan to use a transmitter to locate the hideout within the Black Whale One. Moreover, Hinrigh wanted someone to enter the room after swallowing the transmitter, so he volunteered to do it.
As he teleported to the Heil-Li hideout, Hinrigh was quick to notice that the room was empty. Soon after, Nobunaga joined him to increase their chances of survival. They both acclimated to each other as they started to look inside the doors that were present within the room.
The chapter ended with Nobunaga and Hinrigh determining that the person responsible for the nen technique could be nearby, as they opened a mysterious door.
