On September 1, at 23:21, somewhere in the Goude Desert.

The surrounding hillsides and the earth are littered with dents and chips.

Heather, with a slightly torn and dusty suit, sat humming a song on a boulder that had been broken in two, with Ilmi Beater lying beside him, who was covered in wounds, his right foot and left arm were all broken, and the golden cross sword [Absolute Throne] pierced through his collarbone and pinned it firmly to the boulder.

"So, the eldest son who beat the enemy Hakka, surrender or die?"

Heather, who was holding her mobile phone and texting, said without raising her head: "Don't worry, for the sake of you giving me sparring for so long, you can choose a way to die by yourself." ”

"I surrender."

Il's fascination is also crisp and neat. There is no way, not only are there many fractures in the body, but the nails are also consumed, and the most terrible thing is that the whole body is burned by this cross sword that pierces the collarbone, and there is no strength to resist or escape at all.

Hearing this, Heather glanced up at Ilmi, and then continued to bury her hair in the text:

"It's pretty simple, okay, I believe you, and you don't like to joke with your life. Tell me how Kurolo got the idea on my head, from the beginning. ”

Ilmi just lay motionless on the ground, and his tone was plain:

"First of all, there was a rumor circulating in the underground world and the black market two months ago that [someone got the legendary sword of fire]. At first, everyone scoffed, but more and more testimonies pointed to this rumor, and the rumor turned into a legend, and the legend became a secret story. And it was at that time that Kurolo should have obtained this information. ”

"I met Kurolo half a year ago because of a mission, and because of a fight with him, the mission was aborted, and I thought this person was interesting, so I added him to my client base. Later, there were occasional contacts, and he entrusted me with a less difficult task. Two days ago, Kurolo contacted me and said he was going to entrust me with a mission, uh, this task has nothing to do with you, can you skip it? ”

"No, you can't."

"Okay, he asked me to find the meeting place of the leader of the underground auction organizer, the 'Ten Old Men', and wait for his instructions, once the next stage of the order is issued, kill the Ten Old Men, and then use the chanting needle to manipulate them to announce to the gang organization through remote phone video according to the pre-set lines, and the reward is 7 billion rings."

"You're alone?"

"No, because this task is a bit troublesome, I have brought in my brother and my great-grandfather to help, and I need to pay them 500 million and 3 billion respectively."

“…… You're such an honest character who can answer all questions. ”

"I'm a prisoner, and I still have this self-awareness. Need to go on? ”

"Go ahead."

"Then, just eleven hours ago, Kurolo sent me another message, temporarily sending me an additional task to find your traces in Youkexin City, and if possible, capture you alive and bring you to him, specifically asking that your brain and limbs not be seriously damaged, and that the reward be 5 billion rings. I happened to be in Youkexin City, so I asked my younger brother and great-grandfather to continue to look for the ten old men, and I acted alone. Looking at it this way, this business is really not cost-effective. ”

Heather had already finished texting at this time, put her phone back in her pocket, and looked at Ilmi:

"What do you think Kurolo is trying to capture me for?"

“…… To steal your telekinesis. ”

Ilmi said it all without reservation: "Three years ago, my father once took over a business to assassinate Brigade No. 8, and according to him, this deal is very not cost-effective. During this time, he had seen the power of Kurolo, and it was said that as long as he met the harsh conditions, he should be able to steal the opponent's telekinesis, which was very tricky. I want to come to Kulolo to arrest you in order to take away this embodied cross sword, by the way, my mind is almost burned dry by it, can you take it? ”

"Burn it for a while, you won't be able to die for the time being anyway."

Heather held her chin and thought for a moment, and said, "If you catch me, how are you going to give Culolo an order?" ”

“……”

Il's big eyes rolled in confusion, and he said dryly, "I won't turn against my employer, if you force me to help you kill Kulolo, I will give up surrendering and choose death." ”

Heather: "Quite backbone, you have a good relationship with Kurolo." ”

Ilmi closed his eyes: "No, this is the bottom line of the killer family." Okay, you can do it. ”

Heather pulled up the 'Absolute Monarchy', squatted down and patted Ilfan's head: "An, I won't kill you for the time being, and I won't force you to fight against Culolo to the death." Because that's what [someone] is asking for. In fact, he revealed to me that he had set his sights on my telekinesis and that someone from the Enemy Clan might come to assassinate me. I have an idea for the best of both worlds, would you like to hear about it? ”

“……？”

Ilmi opened his eyes, his face puzzled.

……………………

Youkexin City, a building, second basement floor [interrogation room].

Looking at Wojin, who was lying on the operating table and was tied up and fell into a coma, Kurapika's face was clouded.

This guy is one of the Phantom Brigades, slaughtering his entire clan and poaching all the red-eyed murderers.

In the past five years, I have rehearsed countless times in my mind how to take revenge cruelly, but when I saw them, the fire in my heart was still burning, and my mind was in chaos.

Pyro, what the hell am I supposed to do......

Airplanes!

At this time, Kurapika's phone vibrates, text message? He took out his phone from his pocket with some confusion, at this point in time, who will text himself?

[I'll be waiting for you at the appointed place.] 】

Cecil......

Although there is no signature, Kurapika immediately guesses who sent the text message. He fought against Hisoka in the final round of the Hunter's Exam, and he used the Spider's Secret to persuade him to cooperate with him.

It seems that the time has come.

"Captain, I'll go out."

Kurapika put away his phone, said hello to Dazosin, the captain of his Nosla gang's bodyguard team, and headed out.

Half an hour later, he arrived at a slum somewhere in the south of the city.

In an abandoned building, Kurapika meets Hisoka, who is sitting in the dark and empty hall, his thoughts unconcealed.

"It's early."

Hisoka folded his hands on his chin and sat lazily on a shabby bench: "Don't be so alert, you can rest assured, because I don't want to fight you yet." ”

Kurapika's attitude was very cold: "I don't want to say more, tell me about you." ”

"Hey, okay."

Hisoka let out an eerie laugh, "There are thirteen members of the brigade, and each one has a spider tattoo and a number. ”

"Sometimes the members are replaced, and as long as you kill the current members, you can join the group. In addition, if there is no one to replace them, the regimental commander will replenish the regimental members. ”

"The main activities are robbery, killing, and sometimes doing some good deeds."

"Three years ago, I replaced No. 4 in order to fight the regimental commander Kurolo, but I never succeeded. Because he was so well guarded, at least two members of the regiment would follow him at all times, and he would disappear as soon as the mission was over, and he would not be found at all. ”

"So I came to the conclusion that it's hard for a person to achieve his goals, isn't it?"

“…… That's why you came to me and wanted to join forces with me? ”

Kurapika's expression remained unchanged: "However, I don't trust you. ”

"Oh roar~ simple and straightforward."

Hisoka smiled disappretently, turned his head into the darkness and said, "And what about your opinion?" ”

Step, step, step......

Footsteps came from the darkness, and Kurapika immediately covered her body with her mind and took an attacking stance, and Hisoka brought the others with her? Is it a brigade member?

Originally, the atmosphere became more and more solemn, but when Kurapika saw Heather coming out of the darkness, her expression froze.

Teacher, brother?
