Following Chrollo and Pike Notan, Cellululu walked very hard. There was no road in front of her. She had to move one foot low and one foot high to find an easy place to stay on the garbage heap, while the two people in front But it seems that he has long been accustomed to it, and he walks quite naturally and easily.
Although she was invited to be a guest, the two of them showed no hospitality at all. They just walked forward without caring about her who was following behind. Even though they were not running, the speed was as fast as Cellululu could do. You can't keep up even at a trot.
It seems that they are two strong non-human beings. Looking at the three-inch high heels on Pike Notan's feet in front of them, Cellululu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Are warriors the master of this world? Why can even women wearing such high heels be able to walk as fast as they can without being hampered at all by these uneven pieces of garbage?
She was so lost in thought that as soon as she didn't pay attention to her feet, she suddenly tripped over a piece of rubbish. In order not to fall, Celluloid tried hard to maintain her balance, but her entire right ankle was severely pinned. , a heartbreaking pain came from the ankle, the pain was so painful that it seemed as if her brain was going blank. Cellululu couldn't even make a sound for a while. She just knelt on the ground, hunched over, and covered her ankle with all her strength. , waiting for the pain to subside.
Chrollo and Pike who were walking in front did not mean to test. For them, this speed was already very slow. However, after walking for a while, they felt that the distance between them and the breath of Celluloid behind them was getting farther and farther. , even stopped in the end. Chrollo and Pike turned around at the same time, thinking that the other party was trying to play some trick, but they saw Cellululu sitting on the ground fifty meters away from them, hugging her feet.
Chrollo swept back to the opponent in two or three steps, bent down slightly, looked at Cellululu with gentleness and concern, and asked:
"Miss Celluloid, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah, I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention while walking just now and accidentally sprained my foot. Just let me rest for a while. I can walk soon."
Hearing this, Cellululu looked up and looked at Chrollo with an apologetic smile, but her face turned pale.
Hearing the other party's answer, Chrollo was a little speechless for a moment. He never expected that Cellululu's physical condition was so poor that she would sprain her feet even when she walked. She was really weak, and normal people wouldn't be like this.
But remembering that the distance between them seemed to be gradually widening before, could it be that the other party sprained his foot because he couldn't keep up and was in a hurry, so he didn't pay attention to the road? Chrollo immediately looked at Cellululu inquiringly, with just the right amount of concern on his face:
"Miss Celluloid, does it matter to you? Is it because we are walking too fast?"
"Well~~ My speed is a bit slow, but because it's really not easy to walk here, I'm really sorry. I'll get up now."
Cellululu tactfully agreed with the other party's statement, then reluctantly propped up her body, put her weight on her left foot, maintained her balance tremblingly, and prepared to continue walking forward.
The girl's answer confirmed Chrollo's speculation, and also surprised him a little. She couldn't even keep up with this speed. In terms of physical fitness, she was really an ordinary person, Chrollo thought in his mind.
Looking at the girl's right ankle, Chrollo frowned, squatted down and pinched the injured area. The unsuspecting Cellululu screamed in pain, and her body involuntarily fell towards Chrollo.
After catching the girl, Chrollo hugged Cellululu horizontally. Cellululu, who was startled by the other party's actions, struggled a little with resistance, trying to persuade Chrollo to let her down:
"Mr. Chrollo, I'm fine. I can walk by myself, so please let me down."
"Your ankle is very swollen. Although my residence is not far, it is not close either. Continuing to walk will only aggravate your injury."
Chrollo raised his eyebrows and casually rejected her opinion. He still held her firmly and even started to move forward.
The Chrollo in front of her seemed to be more powerful than before. Cellululu was suddenly overwhelmed by this unquestionable momentum and could not even utter a word to refute. In the end, she could only say:
"Well, please, Mr. Chrollo."
Chrollo's speed was much faster than when she followed him just now, flying quickly through mountains of garbage one after another, with Pike following closely behind him.
Cellululu, who was lying in Chrollo's arms, was completely stiff. After Chrollo picked her up, she tried to distance herself from the other person's body and maintained the same posture, not daring to move. move. Chrollo's body had the refreshing scent of soap and the ink scent of books, which indeed suited his bookish appearance, but the smell of an unfamiliar man filled his nose, which still made Celluloid extremely unaccustomed to it. She felt different, because Cellulu trusted Jin and thought he was a good person, so Cellulu was quite casual in Jin's arms, but for Chrollo, because she always had a knot in her heart, she couldn't relax at all, so Cellululu can only hope to get to the other party's residence as soon as possible to get out of this predicament.
After marching for twenty minutes, Chrollo stopped, lowered his head and smiled warmly at the girl in his arms.
"Miss Celluloid, we're here."
Cellululu turned her head and looked at Chrollo's house. She found that Chrollo's description just now was very factual and not exaggerated. The humble house was really a humble house. Looking at the house in front of her, Cellululu was a little speechless. What should I say? Is it really worthy of being called a house built on a rubbish heap? The building in front of her could be regarded as a large piece of garbage. She looked at the three-story ruined building in front of her with a dark line, but it was tilted nearly 30 degrees to the right and seemed to collapse at any time. There were holes everywhere and air leaks everywhere. I couldn't form words. It took me a long while before I finally managed to form my thoughts.
“Well~~ It’s a very unique house, very post-modernist style.”
Chrollo smiled noncommittally and didn't care about Cellululu's description. He hugged her and entered the house, followed by Pike.
There is a quite large living room inside. Judging from the layout and things stacked in the living room, it is obvious that there are many people living here. It feels like a dormitory, but it is also a place full of strong life atmosphere. Cellululu took a rough look at it. After some research, I came to this conclusion.
There was a person sitting on the sofa in the living room. She was a girl with blue-purple hair and a ponytail dressed in a kimono. After seeing the three of them come in, she stood up and nodded and said hello:
"Captain, Pike, you are back. Is this person——?"
The girl's golden eyes glanced at her coldly and asked Chrollo who was holding her.
"Maggie, this is our guest - Miss Celluloid. She will stay here for a few days. Miss Celluloid, this is Maggie."
After placing Celluloid on the sofa and sitting down, Chrollo briefly introduced it with a smile.
"Hello, Miss Maggie."
Cellulu smiled at the other party and said hello.
Maggie just nodded towards her with a cold expression and didn't say anything. She looked like a cold and glamorous iceberg beauty, Cellululu thought.
Noticing that Maggie had called Chrollo "leader" just now, Cellululu raised her head and looked at Chrollo curiously:
"Mr. Chrollo, is the leader your nickname?"
"That's right, I formed a small group, so my companions all call me the leader." Chrollo chuckled and said lightly.
"Oh, that's it. Indeed, Mr. Chrollo has a very leadership temperament." Cellulu looked at Chrollo with understanding and nodded in agreement.
"Oh, thank you very much, Miss Celluloid. By the way, Miss Celluloid's sprain seems to need to be treated, Parker!"
Chrollo smiled slightly and turned to order Pike.
Parker nodded and went somewhere unknown. When he came out again, he took a bag of ice cubes and a bandage and sat next to Cellululu. After taking off Cellululu's socks, he found that it was as swollen as a steamed bun and was larger than his left ankle. More than twice as much of the right ankle was exposed to the public, Pike lifted Celluloid's ankle and began to deal with it.
"Miss Parker Notan, I can do it myself,"
Celluloid is a bit embarrassed to bother others.
Pike's men did not stop, but simply replied, and then started chatting seemingly casually.
"Miss Cellulu, you're welcome. By the way, where is Miss Cellulu from?
"Thank you then, I'm from Skari."
Seeing Pike's insistence, Cellulu had no choice but to accept the other party's kindness. When she heard Pike's question, she used the safest explanation. After all, she was in Scari when she met Chrollo.
"That's where I met the leader, I guess. But what a chance encounter. We actually met again. Does Miss Celluloid still live in Skarry?" Pike asked casually.
"No, I've left now." Celluloid replied immediately.
"Really? Is Miss Cellulu traveling around? Have you encountered anything interesting or dangerous? After all, a girl traveling alone is always likely to encounter many things." Pike put on a show. He asked curiously.
"Well, that's right, but fortunately, I didn't encounter anything dangerous. The trip itself is also quite interesting." Cellululu answered vaguely.
"Really? Ah, okay, the injury can be fixed like this. I believe you will be fine after just two days of rest."
After tying Cellululu's ankle with a bandage, Pike ended the conversation, stood up and looked at the group leader.
Chrollo and Maggie just watched their conversation in silence from just now. Seeing that Pike had finished, he smiled elegantly and said to Celluloid:
"Miss Cellulu, why don't you go to your room and take a rest first? You must be very tired."
"Well, okay, thank you."
Cellululu nodded and agreed. Just as she was about to stand up on the sofa, Chrollo automatically stepped forward and picked her up again, and spoke in a gentlemanly manner.
"I'll do it, your feet are inconvenient."
"Thanks."
Seeing this, Cellululu could only say thank you.
Chrollo took her to the second floor. There were several rooms on this floor. Chrollo didn't stop until he reached the room on the right at the end. He freed one hand to push open the door and walked in.
Cellululu looked at the layout inside with a little surprise. The room was filled with all kinds of books, overwhelming and filling the room to the brim. The only normal furniture was a small bed and a desk.
After Chrollo put Cellululu on the bed, he said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, there aren't enough rooms here, so I have to stay in my study room, Miss Cellululu."
"No, it's okay. I'm the one troubling you."
Cellululu's eyes were still fixed on the mountain of books, and she turned around and answered politely after hearing Chrollo's words.
"Then, Miss Cellulu, please rest, I'm going out first."
Chrollo nodded politely to her, opened the door and went out.
The moment he left the door, Chrollo put away the gentle smile he pretended to have on his face and went downstairs. Maggie and Parker were sitting on the sofa waiting for him. Chrollo looked at Parker and said:
"How's it going? What did you see?"
Pike frowned, not knowing what to say, trying to organize his words.
"Look, I saw something, but what I saw was completely irrelevant. No matter what questions I asked, what I could see was always the same memory, and the girl's hair color and eye color in that memory were also the same. It’s different now.”
"Hmm~~? Give me those memories."
Chrollo covered his mouth and thought for a few seconds, then suddenly clapped his hands together and ordered Pike.
"Show me too,"
After hearing this, Maggie next to her also asked.
"good."
Parker took out a pistol, turned his hand slightly, and two bullets appeared. After pushing into the chamber, they fired towards Chrollo and Maggie.
Bullets were jumping on the foreheads of the two people, and the pictures were presented one after another. Chrollo closed his eyes and watched. As Pike said, the image of Celluloid in the mirror in his memory was different from the one now. He was a black-haired girl. The girl with eyes, that memory was very short and jumpy. Cellululu seemed to be sick. Lying in the hospital, a middle-aged couple, who must be her parents, appeared around her, sighing and crying, and then she The illness seemed to have suddenly healed, and the last picture was of the happy and excited smiling faces of the couple, and the memory was interrupted at this point.
Chrollo opened his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then confirmed to Pike:
"Are you saying that no matter what questions you ask, you will always see this memory? You will not see the others?"
"Yes, there is only this section that can be searched and explored."
Pike nodded affirmatively. Also a bit strange.
"It's really strange. Why can I only see this memory? Did you feel any resistance or strength obstruction when you were exploring?"
Chrollo thought for a moment, deduced in another direction, and looked at Pike for verification.
"No, no, the memory is read very smoothly, and I don't feel any obstruction or incongruity."
Pike shook her head, denying this guess. She had no clue why such a result occurred.
"What do you think Maggie?"
Chrollo was puzzled. He raised his head and looked at Maggie inquiringly.
"I don't know, it feels weird."
Maggie frowned slightly, feeling a little confused about this memory.
It seemed that he couldn't get any information from the girl's side for the time being. He turned his thoughts away from the problem of memory and turned his attention to another problem. At that time, he saw the girl's hair and eye color in his memories. At this time, he did not ignore the sense of disobedience that suddenly arose in him, which made him very concerned. He always felt that it seemed to be the key to the problem. Thinking about it, there was no problem before, but it just made him feel weird about the encounter with celluloid. Afterwards, could it be that there was something wrong with his own memory? Chrollo speculated boldly, raised his eyebrows, looked up at Pike, and ordered:
"Parker, please read the memory of my encounter with Celluloid and see if there are any problems."
"Okay, leader, how did you and Cellululu meet?"
Although he didn't understand the leader's intention, Pike still put his hand on the leader's body and asked. The memory read very smoothly, but after reaching a scene, there suddenly seemed to be a bump or node, and it was stuck for a while, and then the picture continued again.
Withdrawing his hand, Pike said:
"Captain, you better see for yourself, your analytical skills are better than mine."
Another bullet was fired into Chrollo's mind. He closed his eyes and looked at the picture. Chrollo looked for any incongruity. He unconsciously tapped his knees with his knuckles, slowly filtered the scene, and opened his eyes. Eyes, Chrollo analyzed slowly, and finally looked at Pike:
"The suddenly stuck place seems to be the problem. There should be a memory here, but it is covered. Parker, can you find a way to bring it out?"
"Here, let me try—"
Pike was not very sure, so he put his arm on the leader's shoulder again and began to read hard. The power of his mind flowed through the nodes over and over again, but the effect was not very great. Looking at Pike's serious face, Chrollo also Knowing that the progress was not going well, he activated his telekinesis, coordinated with Pike's telekinesis fluctuations, and thought about the scene carefully. The two telepathic powers came together, and the node slowly seemed to be loosening. After noticing this phenomenon , Pike increased the intensity of reading in one go, the knot loosened, and the picture hidden in the middle suddenly exploded.
Chrollo felt as if there was a sudden "pop" in his head, and a large number of scenes appeared in front of his eyes. Looking at that clear memory, Chrollo laughed out loud.
"I see, is this what you want me to care about? You can actually make me forget about it for half a year without realizing it. It's really amazing."
Pike, who was reading the memory, naturally also saw this memory. She took back her hand in surprise. She didn't know what she should be surprised about in that scene, but in the end, she still had the same concern as the memory controller. Getting the upper hand, she looked at Chrollo with a serious expression.
"Captain, that girl can also manipulate memory. It seems that this is also the reason why I failed to read the memory just now."
"Well, it's possible. I just wanted to treat her as a collection. I didn't expect that besides the ornamental value, she would have so many special abilities. Should I say that she still belongs to me after all? After going around and around, she still came back to me. around."
Chrollo smiled very confidently, his eyes as deep as midnight showing undisguised possessiveness.
Maggie, who didn't understand what Pike and Chrollo were talking about, motioned to Pike to let her take a look, but Maggie focused all her attention on Celluloid's hair and eyes in the memory, and she said with slight admiration. :
"Very beautiful, those eyes and hair."
