Chapter 222 Finally... Found
The bodies of Franklin and Lev Lev were roughly stuffed into the back seat of the car, with their limbs twisted and intertwined. Morrow picked up a plastic bottle filled with gasoline, unscrewed the cap, and then poured the pungent liquid onto the seats, bodies, and every corner of the car.
· Curt watched on the side, and suddenly said: "Morrow, would it be better to burn them if you cut them into several pieces?"
Morrow said: "If you chop it into pieces, it will definitely burn quickly."
"Then before burning, why don't you chop them into pieces, so you don't have to wait here."
Colt raised his fan and pointed at the two bodies in the car that were soaked in gasoline.
Morrow nodded and said: "It's not impossible, but cutting up two corpses is too much effort after all."
"I can control the "paper blade" to smash them into pieces!"
Curt volunteered.
Morrow noticed Kurt's unusual initiative and asked confusedly: "What, are you hungry?"
"Well, a little."
Cot nodded sheepishly.
Morrow smiled when he saw this, "Then you'd better save some energy and leave these to me."
"Hmm."
Cote responded obediently, and suddenly had an idea. He pointed his folding fan at Kurapika, who was walking this way. "Isn't Kurapika's chain retractable? It should be possible to let him use the chain to grind the body into pieces, right?"
"This is also a way."
Moro thought thoughtfully.
Having arrived at the nearby Kurapika, he naturally heard the conversation between Moro and Curt, and immediately stopped.
Standed where he was, refusing to go any further.
A few minutes later,
The car was engulfed in flames.
Amidst the roaring flames, one could vaguely see that the carriage was spattered with blood and minced meat.
Morrow followed Curt's suggestion and had the bodies of Franklin and Flaxlev crushed to pieces before lighting the fire.
This way not only can the burning be more thorough, but more importantly, they don’t have to wait here for the burning to end.
"Let's go."
Seeing that the fire had reached its peak, Moreau turned and left.
Curt followed, walking side by side with Moreau.
Kurapika took one more look at the burning car, then withdrew his gaze and quickly followed Moro and Curt.
Behind them, thick smoke towered into the sky like pillars.
So far, a spider has lost four legs.
After Moreau disposed of the body, he sent a "continue working" message to Hisoka.
As long as Hisoka can provide more information about the brigade, Moreau can wait for an opportunity to start the next hunt.
Ideally, he would cut off as many spider legs as possible before the brigade could react.
If you can't catch up...·
Hide yourself into the darkness for the time being and wait for the opportunity.
In any case, he can slow down the hunting pace, but he must not reveal his flaws easily.
Just like a hunter, he will only pull the trigger of his shotgun when he is sure.
In a luxurious casino somewhere in the world.
Hisoka lazily sat in front of the slot machine and picked up the phone casually. A message from Moreau was displayed on the screen.
「The movements are really neat~~」
The moment he saw this news, Hisoka knew that Franklin and Fellev were probably dead at the hands of Moreau.
Morrow has already harvested the lives of four spiders.
If the brigade does not take action, they may be driven out and killed by Moreau soon.
Hisoka played with his phone, his slender index finger resting on his chin, a hint of amusement flashed in his golden eyes.
The future of the brigade?
He doesn't care about boring things like that at all.
What he longs for is to have another hearty fight to the death with Moreau.
But before that, he had to get a chance to fight Chrollo one on one.
So, what if the brigade is destroyed?
Sisona slowly lowered his hand on his chin and turned to pull the lever of the slot machine. The machine suddenly made a crisp clicking sound.
Soon, the slot machine's wheel began to rotate rapidly, and the colorful patterns connected into a blurry ribbon under the light.
Hisoka put away his phone and focused on the rapidly rotating patterned ribbon.
Soon, the wheel stopped, three identical symbols were arranged neatly, and the slot machine made a cheerful sound of winning.
Hisoka's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, watching the bonus numbers that kept jumping on the slot machine screen.
In the past, he would not have cared about the final bonus at all.
Now—·
He is too short of money.
The bonus numbers on the slot machine were finally fixed, and then there was a clear sound of metal collision, and coins poured down like raindrops, piled up into a hill in the tray.
The jingling sound was particularly eye-catching in the noisy casino, attracting the attention of the surrounding gamblers.
Hisoka paid no attention to these glances, but suddenly became aware of them and turned his eyes to look at a tall figure walking straight towards him.
That man had long, silky black hair, and was wearing clothes in gray tones, with many round beads on them that seemed to be for decoration.
The person who came was none other than Yi Mi.
His empty black eyes looked particularly penetrating under the bright lights of the casino.
"I found you, Hisoka."
Ilmi stood still in front of Hisoka, and his smooth voice was as cold as a machine: "Did you deliberately not answer the phone?"
"How could it be? It just happened to be out of power~"
Hisoka showed an innocent smile.
Yirmi stared coldly at Hisoka's face.
He just saw Hisoka holding a mobile phone with a glowing screen.
"Money, are you ready?"
Not bothering to expose Hisoka's lies, Yi Mi got to the point directly.
Hisoka smiled and pointed at the slot machine that was still dropping coins.
Elmi didn't care how Hisoka made money. He just looked at the remaining bonus numbers on the slot machine and the pile of coins, and roughly calculated the amount after redemption.
"Not enough, as we agreed in advance, if you don't raise enough money today, the interest will be doubled ten times."
He said lightly.
Although he agreed to repay in installments, he never gave up on the price of breach of contract.
Hisoka was silent for a moment, then took out his cell phone and said with some surprise: "It turns out the phone still has power."
After that, regardless of Yi Mi's reaction, he directly sent a message to Moro to borrow money.
In a wilderness in the ancient Ganyu country.
Morrow picked up the phone.
At first he thought it was a reply from Hisoka that meant "received", but when he looked at the dimly lit screen, he only saw a brief message: Lend me a billion.
“Want to borrow money again? Oh, I didn’t lend him money last time.”
Morrow muttered to himself.
Humbling next to him, Curt jumped like a kitten when he saw Moreau's reaction, and took a peek at the message displayed on the phone screen.
Then I saw the money-borrowing text message from Hisoka.
"Ah!"
Seeing the word "borrow money", Kurt seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and shouted in annoyance.
Morrow couldn't help but look over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Kurapika also cast a doubtful look.
Kurt held his little head, "I forgot an important thing!"
"What?"
Morrow raised his eyebrows and asked.
Kurt spoke in despair and said: "I forgot to search the body just now, maybe I can find a lot of money!"
Morrow and Kurapika suddenly looked at each other in silence.
"Don't worry about it."
Moreau tried to comfort him: "With Lev's clothes peeled off, he doesn't look like he would carry money with him.
As for Franklin - even if he brought money, it was probably destroyed in the battle."
Cote tilted his head and thought about it, and felt that it did make sense. His expression softened a little, and then he blinked his big eyes, pointed at Morrow's mobile phone, and asked: "Then - Moreau, do you want to lend that pervert money?"
"Lend it."
Morrow's His fingers slid quickly on the screen and he sighed: "After all, Hisoka has really helped a lot this time, and we still expect him to continue to work hard."
"Okay."
Kurt will not oppose Moreau's decision even if he is reluctant.
A casino thousands of miles away.
Hisoka received the money transferred from Moreau, which was a timely blessing.
Otherwise, if he doesn't raise enough money today, his debt will only increase.
But even if Ilmi is paid back this time, there is still a big gap behind.
So he could only get money quickly and clear the debt in one fell swoop. Xisuo didn't expect that one day he would be restricted by debt.
Forget it, sometimes I can just enjoy it,
Hisoka thought like this, and then transferred the money to Ilmi as quickly as possible.
Yi Mi took out her mobile phone and confirmed the transfer information.
He put away his phone with satisfaction.
Hisoka once again pointed to the slot machine that had stopped dropping coins, and extended an invitation to Ilmi: "Would you like to stay and play for a while?"
"No, I'm very busy."
Yirmi rejected Hisoka's invitation and turned around to leave.
After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped again.
"Should I tell Hisoka about my acceptance of Chrollo's deposit?"
Ilmi looked forward, thinking in her mind.
Until he felt Sisoko's probing gaze, Ilmi took another step, "Forget it, Hisoka is an informant now. If you tell him this information, it will only be easier for Moreau,
Anyway—. - I just need to ensure Kurt's safety.
Ilmi muttered to himself, and quickly walked away.
Hisoka looked at Ilmi's back as he walked away quickly, with a strange color in his eyes.
August 15th.
It has been a full week since Franklin and Peeloff Lev turned into dust on the ancient Ganyu wilderness.
The spiders in the brigade are still moving according to their own trajectories. Unless they need to exchange necessary information, they usually do not take the initiative to contact each other.
Hence, they did not yet know about the deaths of Franklin and Flaxlev.
Liuying Country, a town.
The streets were dyed a warm orange-red by lanterns, and the night breeze carried the scent of incense sticks.
Today is a traditional festival called the Onon Festival in the Sakura Kingdom.
People in Liuying Kingdom believe that the souls of their ancestors will return to the world on this day, so activities such as welcoming souls, sending souls, and returning lamps have been derived.
Every day on this day, lanterns will be hung everywhere in Liuying Kingdom, and people will gather together spontaneously. Professions such as psychics and onmyojis will also usher in the busiest time of the year today.
Chrollo walked through the bustling crowd, holding in his hand the old-fashioned flip machine with the pattern of an arrow penetrating a heart.
ceddie\ since the owner of the number you dialed is not nearby. Please dial again later, or change the location and call again...」
Listening to the cold notification sound coming from the mobile phone, Chrollo swept his eyes indifferently over the noisy crowd around him, and his eyes stayed on the psychics wearing red and white hunting clothes for a few seconds longer.
"So many people have gathered here, and still nothing——"
During the Bon Festival, local people often seek the help of psychics and onmyoji, eager to talk to their deceased relatives.
Although there are a lot of psychics and onmyojis who are officially employed in Liuying Kingdom, they are basically all liars who pretend to be gods and ghosts.
Only a few psychics and onmyoji who master the ability of telekinesis have real abilities.
Chrollo came all the way here because he heard the rumors about the ability to talk to the dead in Liuying Country.
It also happened to be the annual Bon Festival, and I thought I could take this opportunity to find the target faster. However, after a whole day of searching, I still found no target that met the conditions.
This is the limitation of the love dialing ability.
Although it can help users locate targets that meet special conditions, due to the limited detection range, they can often only search slowly step by step, and there is no shortcut.
Chrollo can certainly limit the search scope to the country Liuying Country through "rumors", but there is no guarantee that Liuying Country will definitely have targets that meet his requirements.
Want to confirm this -
∣ He can only visit every corner of Liuying Country.
It’s the best thing to have found.
If you can't find it, then the time and energy invested in it will be in vain.
This kind of restriction based on the unknown is just like falling in love. Even if you invest a lot of time and energy into it, you may not be able to achieve positive results in the end.
But Chrollo is very patient and will not have emotions such as anxiety due to this.
Until he accomplishes what he wants to do, he can maintain this mentality and then move forward unswervingly towards the goal.
In the original work,
Before Chrollo formally responded to Hisoka's request for a fight, he relied on this method and his character to collect the required telekinesis abilities along the way, and then let Hisoka suffer a tragic defeat and die.
"Here, there is only one place left."
Chrollo passed through the crowd and looked at the back mountain path in the distance. The lanterns formed a meandering dragon of light, spiraling up the stone steps and finally converging on the top of the mountain, lighting up the night sky.
On the mountain road lined with lanterns, local residents carrying lanterns were heading towards the top of the mountain.
Chrollo was among them, his figure appearing and disappearing in the swaying light and shadow of the lantern.
ifier]
halfway through the mountain road, Chrollo paused slightly and raised his eyes slightly, looking towards the top of the mountain where a lot of light gathered.
Finally.—Found it.
