Chapter 103: Journey to Another World: Prison Star Storm (Sixteen
The evidence of crimes committed by the Rose Alliance brought by Chrollo caused quite a stir in the upper echelons of Cattu. After the initial shock, just as Cellululu had expected, Cattu was concerned about the material benefits that this evidence would bring, and Cattu showed great enthusiasm for rising status in the Council. After closely monitoring Grant and carefully placing Morris, Cattu began to actively prepare for the next matter. Contact major organizations and prepare to convene a temporary council meeting. <Binghuo#中文 www..com
Jones, who is Chrollo's immediate superior, is full of joy and is in a happy mood. Chrollo's contribution is his. If this incident goes well, it will completely establish his position as the number one person in Kattu. For him, he Jones was very proud of his ability to recognize talents. Of course, in order to win over him and at the same time to show fairness, Jones immediately proposed to promote Kurolo to a senior cadre as a reward. Naturally, everyone in Kattu had no objection to this and went through all the superficial procedures. Queen of Heaven, Chrollo accepted the new appointment and officially became Cattu's sixth senior cadre. He was given an independent mansion on the twelfth floor of the center as his office and resting place. In order to show his sincerity , to celebrate, Jones immediately handed over the management rights and all personnel of the two cities after Chrollo took office. At the same time, he sent several middle-level cadres to assist and enrich Chrollo's personal camp.
In response to this, Chrollo naturally declined respectfully on the surface. After some hypocritical detours between the two parties, Chrollo pretended to be humble and polite and accepted. Regarding Jones, he also tactfully expressed that he would still follow Jones's lead in the future. Unified camp, on the surface, both sides are happy and seem to be enjoying themselves. As for the middle-level cadres who seemed to be helping, but were actually playing a controlling and monitoring role, Chrollo didn't bother at all. He gave an order to let them continue to do their own thing, but the person who reported to them regularly was changed to him. After that, he let it go. However, as for his confidants, Chrollo resolutely declined the "good intentions" of other senior cadres, including Jones, and only proposed to transfer Feitan, Xia Ke and Illumi to his around.
In the new mansion, Chrollo's office, behind the large desk, Chrollo crossed his hands and sat on a comfortable leather chair. On the large sofa in front of him, there were three people sitting loosely on each side. It was exactly today that he came Reported by Vigilante, Feitan and Illumi.
"Well~, that's good. The environment is much better now. I still have a lot of people under my command. I don't have to go into battle myself all the time and run around here and there."
Looking around, the knight put his hand on the back of the sofa and said in a good mood, Chrollo was promoted, and he also followed the rising tide. He was promoted to a middle-level cadre, responsible for the intelligence department under Chrollo. Before entering Luoluo's office, he had just seen his future workplace, a large computer room with complete equipment and new technology, and a research room attached.
"Boring, what about a senior cadre, independent mansion, do you take it seriously? Knight, I never knew you would be satisfied by such a thing."
Feitan let out a sigh and made a habitual argument. Like the knight, he was now a middle-level cadre, responsible for the execution of Chrollo's subordinates.
"Anyway, there's nothing wrong with making yourself comfortable before leaving. You don't want to be dictated by irrelevant people all the time."
The knight shrugged nonchalantly and retorted casually.
"Hmph, who dares to order me!"
Feitan's brows had a sharp expression.
"Yes, I don't dare to give you direct orders, but it's still the same through the captain. At least now there won't be any orders that are not the captain's own wishes, right?"
The knight couldn't bear it and rolled his eyes. Feitan's evil personality and behavior made many people avoid him and they were reluctant to contact him directly. Once something happened, they would naturally have no choice but to go to Chrollo, who seemed normal and easy to talk to. .
Hearing this, Feitan stopped talking.
Seeing that the knight and Feitan were just chatting, Illumi turned his attention to Chrollo and got to the point first.
"Chrollo, do you have any information about anyone else?"
Illumi has been handing over and handling some trivial matters in the past two days. As a newcomer to Cattu, he now has no official position and no position. He is just following Chrollo as a close follower. Now the messy things are temporarily stopped. Now, he also has time to care about this issue that is more important to them.
"We have some clues about Hisoka. If nothing else happens, he will come to see us on his own. But as for Jin, we still have no clue. That man has been very good at hiding in the past. If he wants to avoid people, then no one will do it. We know where he will be, but now we don’t know which corner he is hiding in.”
Chrollo replied, speaking of Jin, a rare expression of helplessness and headache appeared on his face. Those who knew Jin were a little insensitive to his biggest 'hobby'.
"Well, really? What's going on with Hisoka?"
Illumi and Jin were not familiar with each other, so he nodded slightly and accepted the fact that the other party's whereabouts were still unknown, but he was a little curious about the first half of Chrollo's sentence.
The knight picked up the conversation and explained.
"There is a very active lone ranger in the southeastern region recently. He has not joined any organization, but he is very strong. I heard that that person likes to challenge strong people. Wherever there are strong people, he will issue a duel request. There are many organizations over there. Famous people were killed by that man.”
"It does seem like Hisoka's style."
Just by listening to these words, Illumi was able to completely confirm the identity of the other party. It was too obvious.
"Yes, the testimonies collected also said that the other party was a tall red-haired man. It's 10% accurate. The last information I found pointed out that Claire of Fimir had contacted Hisoka. That's right. If so, Claire will probably divert trouble and kill someone with a borrowed knife, so we just have to wait and see."
The knight nodded in agreement and continued, giving Feitan a final teasing look.
"That useless trash only knows this low-level method."
Feitan snorted coldly. In the past month, he had received assassination threats from time to time. Although they were just small mice that were not important, the inexplicable targeting still made him unhappy. After checking, he found out that it was Claire. He was entrusted, because he was too lazy to make another trip, and these threats were nothing, so Feitan just let him go. He didn't expect that man to be so evil.
Illumi glanced at Feitan in confusion, wondering what the connection was, but since Hisoka had said that he would take care of it himself, there was no need to know so clearly.
"Anyway, in short, gold is the only one left now? There is no news about Fulis. Why is there no sign at all?"
The knight frowned and complained in confusion.
"I will send more manpower to search. Knight, please work harder."
Chrollo heard the words and spoke out, comforting his irritable subordinates.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. After Chrollo called out to come in, a middle-aged man walked in. When he saw Chrollo, he gave a slight salute and then handed it to him. The report was reported respectfully.
"Mr. Lu Xilu, the materials distributed this month have been transported to the warehouse. Here is the list. Please take a look."
"I understand. I will make arrangements later. You can go down first."
After taking it casually, Chrollo turned it over slightly, glanced briefly, put down the report in his hand, and nodded to the man in front of him.
Niflheim's materials are replenished and exchanged every two months. The Council comes forward to contact the Heimdall Fortress Garrison, the management agency stationed in outer space, at the Rainbow Bridge, and then distributes them after internal coordination. When going to other regions and organizations, of course, because they hold great power, most of the high-quality materials are monopolized and controlled by the council member organizations.
After Cattu obtains the materials, he will distribute them equally to several senior cadres, and then select and distribute them from high to low according to status and authority. In the past, Chrollo received it from Jones, but now he is also a senior cadre. If he becomes a cadre, his share will be sent directly to him, and then Chrollo will distribute it to his subordinates.
After chatting for a few more words, Feitan and Illumi had something to do and left each other. The knight waited for a while and was about to leave. Before going out, he was stopped by Chrollo.
"Knight, I leave it to you to count the supplies in the warehouse."
"no problem."
With an OK gesture, the knight took the list and left Chrollo's office.
——————————————
In the warehouse, the supplies distributed to Chrollo filled the whole room. The knight found a few people and directed them to check and inventory the materials according to the list. The work was carried out in an orderly manner, while the knight looked around and looked around. Take a look and see if there is anything that suits your needs. You can take it back in the next selection.
"Huh? Why is it a gardenia?"
A strange voice, mixed with doubts, rang in the knight's ears. He heard the sound and walked over, looking at the young man in front of him and asked.
"What's wrong?
"Mr. Xiake, it's like this. The list says that four boxes of flowers were delivered, one box of roses, one box of lilies, one box of Fulang, and another box that should be gladioli. However, I just opened it and found that It turned out to be a box of gardenias, maybe someone outside made a mistake."
Seeing the knight, the young man immediately stood up straight. He was one of the knight's subordinates, although not everyone might know the knight.
"So that's it. If you're wrong, you're wrong. They're all flowers anyway, so there's no difference. Just revise the order and submit it."
Hearing that it was such an insignificant matter, the knight glanced at the box and gave instructions casually,
"Yes."
The young man shouted back, and after the vigilante turned around, he muttered something lowly.
"It's really unlucky that it's a gardenia. It will have to be thrown away."
Hearing this sentence, the knight who had no feeling at first stopped, turned around, and asked with slight interest.
"What happened to Gardenia?"
"Because there is a proverb circulating in Niflheim, which is not an old saying, saying that 'the fragrance of gardenia is the smell of blood.' Where there are gardenias, it will bring unknown and bloody disasters. Therefore, it has always been seen that If you see gardenias, you will think that you will be in bad luck, so gardenias are generally not sent to Niflheim from the outside world."
The knight with a smile on his face was very popular in Kattu, so even if he was promoted to a middle-level cadre, the people below him did not have a deep sense of awe. Therefore, after being slightly surprised, the young man named Ed just said in detail replied.
"Oh? It's really interesting. Is there still such a superstitious saying here? I thought people struggling on the verge of death don't have that much leisure to indulge in superstition."
The knight smiled, with a bit of sarcasm when he said this, and the smile on his face was also a bit sarcastic.
"This has become superstitious now, but it wasn't before. I heard that it seems to be related to a very scary and powerful woman in the past. However, no one knows what happened for so long. However, for Gardenia’s disgust and displeasure have remained, and most of the prisoners who first came here don’t know what’s going on, but it’s always right to avoid it.”
Ed didn't know much, but he still roughly explained the situation. After a pause, he asked.
"I don't think anyone will want this box of gardenias. Mr. Knight, do you want me to throw it out now?"
Looking down at the fresh green branches and white flowers, the refreshing sweet fragrance lingered in the nostrils. For some reason, the knight suddenly saw a girl holding a flower branch in front of him, playing with the flowers with a smile. His heart moved, and he blurted out to stop her.
"Well~, it's a pity to lose it. I'll take it back."
"Huh? Mr. Knight, do you want to take it back? Do you want to send a woman as a gift?"
Ed glanced at the knight in surprise, then looked at the flowers, hesitated, and asked. When the knight nodded, he immediately advised him enthusiastically.
"Women are more concerned about such legends. If you really want to give them as gifts, the roses and lilies here are better."
"It's just nonsense superstition, she probably won't care."
The vigilante didn't take it to heart at all. Seeing what the other party said, Ed didn't say anything. He put down the box and went to take stock of other items.
The knight arranged the flowers a little and made them into a beautiful shape. Sure enough, compared to the rich and gorgeous flowers, the delicate and fragrant white flowers were more suitable for the feeling of celluloid. The knight looked at it with satisfaction. Thinking about the giant bouquet in his hand.
After the inventory was completed, the knight skipped work early and returned home happily with the bouquet in hand. He opened the door and saw the girl sitting on the sofa reading a book. He put the hand holding the bouquet behind his back. Approach her with a smile.
The girl seemed to hear his movement, turned around, stood up with a smile, but before she could speak, her face suddenly changed slightly, she covered her nose with her hand, and took a step back.
"Xia Ke, what are you holding in your hand? What does that smell like? Is it gardenia?"
The knight was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand from behind, and a large bouquet of gardenias suddenly appeared in front of Cellululu.
"It's a gardenia. I wanted to give it to you, but you don't seem to like it very much?"
"Xia Ke, thank you for sending me flowers. However, I don't like the smell very much. I'm really sorry. It's rare for you to send me flowers."
The girl's hand was still covering her nose, but she smiled, because her eyes were slightly bent into a half-moon shape, and she seemed a little happy, but after seeing the gardenia, she disappeared and took a step back again. He explained with an apologetic look.
The knight was a little depressed. Although Cellululu seemed very happy for him to send flowers, it was a pity that he didn't choose the right flowers. He looked at the bouquet in his hand regretfully. He thought Cellulu would like it, but he could only pretend not to mind. smiled.
"Really? I didn't ask you if you like this kind of flower. The smell is quite strong. If you don't like it, I'll throw it out."
The knight turned around, but in the next second, an inaudible murmur passed by his ear, as faint as being pressed under the bottom of an unfathomable ocean floor.
"The fragrance of gardenias is the smell of blood."
The strange tone and the same sentence made the knight stunned for a moment. He couldn't help but look back. The corners of the girl's mouth were turned up, and her eyes were slightly bent because of her smile, but she didn't know where she was looking. It should have been a sweet smile, but , but the look in his eyes was very strange, as if he was extremely calm, but also as if he was extremely crazy, but the combination of the expressions only gave people a strange sense of trance. The knight blinked and looked intently, but there was no look like that just now. The girl still looked normal, as if it was just his illusion. She paused, suppressed her doubts in her heart, and the knight walked out holding the bouquet.
In the evening, the remaining three people came back. Illumi and Feitan didn't know about the bouquet incident. Only Chrollo, after walking around, looked at the knight and asked with a half-smile.
"It seems I didn't see the bouquet you sent."
"Captain, don't mention that matter again."
Without asking why Chrollo knew, the knight just replied listlessly.
"She doesn't like it? Do women really care about this kind of thing?"
Chrollo raised an eyebrow.
It must be more than that, thinking of that strange expression, the knight thought silently in his heart.
————————————————————————
Hearing the sound of the doorbell ringing, Cellululu stopped what she was doing and went to open the door a little strangely. The temporary council meeting convened by Cattu had already begun. For this meeting, Chrollo and the others followed other senior cadres. , have already taken the airship to the council headquarters building, leaving the knight alone in Kattu. However, he basically stayed in the mansion on the 12th floor during the day. Who could it be, choosing this time to come? visit? While guessing, Cellululu opened the door. Outside, there was a girl whom she knew. It was just a surprise that Cellululu smiled and said hello.
"Hello, Miss Mila, long time no see."
"It's been a long time indeed, Cellululu. I've come to see you a few times before, but Chrollo said you were away on business. I heard you were back these days, so I came to see you. Why, no invite? Shall I go in?"
Mila smiled sweetly and spoke openly. At the end, she winked playfully at Cellululu.
Mila's attitude changed slightly. The malicious aura that had been evident on her body before seemed to be gone. Although it was still very fake, this made Cellululu secretly surprised. However, she was politely inviting people. Come in.
"How come? Please come in, Miss Mira."
Because she didn't know the purpose of the other party's visit, after exchanging a few words, serving coffee, and asking the other party to sit down on the sofa, Celluloid just silently stirred the coffee cup in front of her, while Mila, on the other hand, looked around for a while and smiled first. Opened his mouth.
"This house is so clean. When I first came in, I thought I had gone to the wrong door. The last time I came here, it was no different from a garbage dump. Cellululu must be working hard. She just needs to take good care of Feitan. Now there are two more people to take care of you. Chrollo is also serious. I said, there are obviously many houses, why do we have to live together? Now look, what does he think of you? "
Mira had a bit of anger and sympathy on her face, as if she was complaining about Cellululu. Even when she mentioned Feitan, there was nothing unpleasant about it. However, for Chrollo, she obviously still put it within her own scope. There is a feeling of rejection inside and outside the words, "Why bother bothering outsiders?"
"Fortunately, thanks to Mr. Chrollo's care, it is appropriate to do something. Besides, Mr. Chrollo and the knight are not unreasonable people, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about."
This reaction made Cellululu feel relieved. She didn't want to create unnecessary hostility for Chrollo. Her attitude toward Chrollo and the knight was more than polite, but not affectionate enough.
"Really? If you find a chance in the future, I'll mention it and let you and Feitan move out."
Mila seemed quite satisfied with Cellululu's knowledge. She smiled, casually gave her a guarantee, paused, and then revealed her purpose.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. I'm here today because I'm going to have a casual party the day after tomorrow and invite you to join me."
"Party?"
Cellululu blinked, looked at Mira and asked.
"Yes, I will hold a casual party like this once a month to gather together. I invite girls of similar ages. They are all family members of senior members of Cattu. Cellululu, You have been here in Cattu for so long and you have never appeared in public. Many of my friends are very curious about you. After all, you are Feitan’s woman. How about taking this opportunity to interact with each other? We know each other, you're always bored at home and you're not very gregarious."
Mira explained cheerfully,
"this??"
Celluloid was still hesitating.
"I sincerely invite you. You won't be so disrespectful. You are still afraid that I will eat you."
Before Cellululu could make an excuse, Mira immediately blocked the words.
"In this case, thank you Miss Mira for the invitation, I will go."
The other party looked upright, but it seemed that he was a petty person. Seeing this, Cellululu could only smile and agreed.
"Then it's settled, I'll send a car to pick you up the day after tomorrow."
Mira smiled sweetly, explained something, then stood up and left.
