"Hmm, this is not easy to explain, but I am very interested in what the captain knows." Hisoka's narrow phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and he smiled interestingly at Chrollo, who said nothing. He just looked back calmly with a hint of deep thought. 【Read the latest chapter】
"Hisoka, it's hard to say no. Just say no slowly. How about taking out your information first?" The knight did not let Hisoka change his focus and continued to ask.
"That's right, what's all this fuss about that makes you insist on hugging someone!" Feitan snorted, looking unhappily at Hisoka who was still stubbornly clinging to Celluloid.
"Don't show off." Illumi urged with a cold face.
"You guys are so uncooperative~" Hisoka pretended to be sad and his face fell, "Okay~, actually, I didn't see anything, it's just that fate forced me to make a choice~"
"Hisoka, are you composing a poem? I'm not in the mood to listen to your jokes!" Feitan got goosebumps aroused by Hisoka's distorted voice like an aria, and said sullenly. The knight and Illumi also looked back with dissatisfaction. Only Chrollo remained calm.
Cellulu was slightly stunned and then became even more puzzled. She didn't think Hisoka was a joke, and he wouldn't have restrained her until now if he was joking.
"It's really annoying. It's not a joke this time~," Hisoka looked at the disbelieving looks of several people and ignored them. He placed a finger on his cheek and continued. "Hmm~ How can I put it more clearly? I didn't see anything, I just had two extremely unpleasant feelings. The first time was when Lancer reminded Garros that he would not give up. Then I suddenly heard something. The voices were all about telling the mercenary union or various organizations about Xiao Lulu's identity, and then, suddenly there was a feeling of 'Ah~ I will suffer if I let it go like this'. It was really a wonderful feeling. It seems that if you don’t do something, something out of your control will really happen, and you will be so impatient that you just want to kill.”
Hisoka showed a murderous smile after recollection. Cellululu, who was held in his arms, couldn't bear it and struggled even harder. Hisoka noticed it, raised an arc at the corner of his mouth, put away his murderous intent, and smiled. continued.
"So, I issued the massacre order, and the restless feeling that made people lose control disappeared, but it appeared again just now, and this time it was Xiao Lulu's voice that I heard. Why can't I help? If you do anything, it will only delay you and increase the difficulty of passing the level. Without you, we can easily get the Stigma of Rongguang by using the power in our hands. But we are really reluctant to leave, but we don’t want to do it in the future. When you see us, you will blame you and so on.' Is this what Xiao Lulu is thinking? The idea is so 'considerate' that it is a bit childish and ridiculous~ When I heard it at the time, I really wanted to burst into tears, but I didn't. I can't laugh, but I'm very unhappy. Moreover, this bad feeling is even worse than last time. It's like there's an alarm in my head that's going off like crazy, beeping, beeping, as if saying ding, It doesn’t stop for a second, it’s really noisy...”
As Hisoka spoke, he showed a twisted and crooked crazy smile that was somewhat uncontrollable, as if he was desperately trying to suppress something, and an unknown murderous intention suddenly released from his body.
"Hisoka." Illumi glanced at Cellulu, who was stiff in his arms again, and warned as cold as water.
"Hmm~ Don't worry, as long as you hold little Lulu, you won't be disturbed, but it won't work once you let go." Hisoka withdrew his murderous intent again, and said in a waning voice. "I don't know what bad consequences it will bring if Little Lulu leaves. I just feel that I can't let you leave, otherwise we won't be able to bear the consequences. It's a premonition of death~, it's really disgusting, I never I don’t believe in fate, but I can’t get rid of this feeling. Well, that’s all I know, so I asked Chrollo what he knew~”
Although what Hisoka said was a bit vague and confusing, everyone still understood what he meant. The knight asked in confusion first.
"In summary, you can now hear someone's voice first, and then feel that something bad will happen. This should be regarded as a kind of prediction, because of the ability brought by the possession of Loreya, the goddess of light. Well, what about Lorea? Doesn’t she have any explanation for this?”
As he spoke, he looked at Illumi. Illumi and Eveli were always answering questions, and they cooperated tacitly.
"Hmm~, that woman only knows how to make mysteries. She is a typical magic stick. After she failed to possess the master and seize control, she gave me a specious word and then became silent. She couldn't even scream." Hisoka was depressed. He had a puffy face.
"What did she say?" Chrollo asked calmly.
"'It's destiny, my strength will become your strength. When the bifurcation point of fate appears, everything you do is a choice of fate. Follow your feelings and your heart, and it will eventually lead to your hope. The result.'" Hisoka slyly imitated Lolea's abominable and condescending tone.
Chrollo covered his mouth in thought and murmured. "The choice of fate..."
Seeing that Hisoka couldn't ask anything else, several people still turned their attention to Chrollo, and the knight was the first to ask. "Captain, what about you? Did the Eye of Truth see something?"
Chrollo didn't show off this time and spoke in a calm and calm tone. "Some fragmented scenes were so fast that it was almost impossible to capture them. I thought they were just some absurd and meaningless manifestations, but just like Hisoka's premonition, this scene made people confused, as if it would happen soon. In the real future, I tried to piece it together. It seems that Cellulu’s departure is the starting point of the matter, and if it is not stopped, the result will be our death, but there are still many things that are incomprehensible, you can also take a look."
It was mentioned twice in a row that they would die. Everyone's expressions became slightly solemn. Cellululu was even more nervous. Why would her departure actually cause their death?
Chrollo's original intention was to reproduce these scenes with third-party vision, but when he mobilized those scenes again, he found that things seemed to be a little derailed. The images did not appear, but he finally knew something about himself that he had been unable to see clearly. In the future, he personally experienced an immersive death,
"Enjoying my power, but trying to use it against me? Foolish person, now is the time for you to repay."
In front of him, the man floating high in the air looked down upon him as if he was looking at a tiny insect, with a majestic and indifferent tone like a god, and casually waved his hand, Chrollo felt There was a sharp pain in his heart, and the dazzling black light was pulled out of his body. In the gradually darkening vision, the only thing left was a pleasant self-talk as if everything was under control.
"You should be honored. Your humble body and soul will be the stepping stone for me to return to this world."
The dark, silent and eternal death flooded his body, his soul, and his thoughts like a tide, until they were nothing. Just when Chrollo thought everything would disappear like snowflakes, he suddenly woke up again. God came, he was still standing in the corridor of the temple, as if it was just a dream, but Chrollo knew that if he did not find the key point of change, what just happened would become a reality that would actually happen in the future.
Recalling everything just now, the man who killed him had the face of Lanlot, but the only two sentences he said, the first sentence clearly identified his identity, that was Arya, the God of Destruction. Si, although I don’t know why he can revive without borrowing Cellululu’s body, there is no doubt that this is him. But the second sentence, Chrollo analyzed, the meaning of that sentence seems to be that he wants to borrow him What do you do with your body and soul?
Unable to get more information, Chrollo's thinking could only end here. He looked at the others, except Cellullu who seemed to be still struggling in the illusion, with cold sweat on his face and a slight tremor all over. The man had just broken free from the illusion, his expression was unclear and his eyes were flickering. Chrollo was the first to break the silence. After telling his illusion, he asked.
"Tell me, what did you see?"
There seemed to be some strange silence between the few people. Finally, the knight gritted his teeth and spoke first, "I saw myself and Feitan fighting, and then, I was killed by him." He gave Feitan a complicated look, This was definitely the rhythm of internal strife, but he really couldn't understand how he and Feitan got to that point.
Feitan did not snort, nor did he laugh at the knight, thinking that this was nonsense. His face was very dark at this time, "The knight is right, I killed him when I saw him, but after that, I was immediately killed by the captain. Killed." He said in a dull tone.
"Feitan killed the knight, and then I killed Feitan?" Chrollo didn't expect to hear such an almost unbelievable development. He asked with a surprised look on his face. He was silent for a moment and then asked again. "Let's not talk about what happened between the knight and Feitan. Feitan, is there anything about the me who killed you that makes you feel different or strange?"
Feitan also seemed to really not want it to be the leader, so he thought hard, trying to find something strange, but after a long time, he finally lost his temper and said, "No, I feel like that is you, the leader, so... I also know very clearly that the person I killed was indeed a knight."
The knight also had a stiff face and said nothing. He didn't hope that the person in the illusion was really Feitan, but his feeling told him that it was indeed Feitan. He couldn't figure out the reason. Both Feitan and the knight were a little irritated, although they I don't believe it will get to that point, but I am afraid that they have fallen into some trap or some conspiracy that will cause them to kill each other. This feeling of knowing what will happen but not knowing how to change is terrible.
Chrollo was still calm, he just asked the next one. "Hisoka, what about you?"
Hisoka rarely showed a shuddering and confused expression. “I really don’t know what I saw, I just found myself trapped in a vast white light, day and night, no up or down, no sound, no end, ah~ It really felt like I was about to arrive There is no fun in the eternal calm of a stagnant water. If it becomes like that, it will be more uncomfortable than death~"
Hisoka's experience also felt inexplicable, and several people still couldn't come to a conclusion. Chrollo finally looked at Illumi, who tilted his head and said something shocking.
"Hisoka and I team up to fight Chrollo. We want to die with Chrollo. I don't know if Chrollo is dead, but Hisoka and I should be dead."
Before everyone could say something in shock, Illumi added.
"But it feels like I can't control myself very well. My thoughts are a little dissociated and split. And Hisoka doesn't look like Hisoka, and Chrollo doesn't look like Chrollo either."
Hisoka and Chrollo's expressions instantly darkened. Hisoka narrowed his eyes and licked his lips dangerously. "Hmm, if I wasn't me, who would it be? Luo Laiya? So, the feeling I had just now was actually because I was imprisoned in the spirit by Luo Laiya? Huh huh~ This parasitic woman , you actually have the guts to do this~"
The knight and Feitan also seemed to have figured out something. Their eyes lit up and the knight said anxiously. "The leader said that he was killed by Elias. So, the leader at that time was really not the leader? He was controlled by Elias? Then could Feitan and I have similar reasons? s reason?"
"Who knows?" Illumi answered irresponsibly.
"In short, if we put it all together, the order of death should be me, Knight, Feitan, Hisoka, and Illumi. But I don't understand, why does Elias target us like this? And he deliberately chose it. Such a complicated way of death?" Chrollo analyzed slowly, frowning in confusion.
"Complex? How complicated is it?" Feitan didn't understand.
"Just kill us, anyone can do it, but except for me who died at the hands of Elias, on the surface, your deaths are all cannibalism, which is equivalent to us killing each other. , why do you have to make this illusion? It seems like you are deliberately showing someone to see it in order to hurt someone..."
Chrollo speculated casually, but when he said the last word, he suddenly stopped. The others were puzzled at first, but after thinking about it carefully, they suddenly froze, and everyone's eyes unconsciously turned to the man who still had his eyes closed and had not escaped from the illusion. On celluloid.
Chrollo covered his mouth and analyzed. "Elias once said that my body and soul would be a stepping stone for him to return to the world, and what happened to you later also shows that he did completely use my body to kill Feitan, Hisoka And Illumi, what is the purpose of doing this? He has made it very clear that it is to return to the world again. In other words, he still needs Cellululu's body to be completely resurrected, but taking Cellululu's body and then It is not an easy task to destroy her soul and replace it, at least it should not be as easy as Hisoka and Illumi to be possessed and take control of the body."
When Chrollo said this, Hisoka and Illumi both felt that their strength was being despised. One of them raised his face in depression and looked at Chrollo sadly, while the other gave Chrollo a dissatisfied cold look. Staring, the knight snickered, Feitan snorted disdainfully, Chrollo ignored it and continued.
"I once used the Eye of Truth to spy on Celluloid's past, but I received a backlash. But when I tried to test the knight before, he didn't even notice that I used the Eye of Truth. This shows that Celluloid's spirit is actually very powerful. , and killing us can cause harm to Cellululu, thereby weakening her spirit."
"Uh-huh, if you put it like that, then why would we go out of our way to kill each other if the effect wouldn't be the same as long as we died?" Hisoka was still upset that Chrollo deliberately made things difficult for him by saying that he was easily possessed. road.
"..." Chrollo was silent for a moment, and then said in a tone that even he found a little unbelievable. "Didn't you notice? She always has an extremely naive idea, hoping that we will always maintain a peaceful and harmonious relationship. This harmony not only means that we are still independent individuals, but also in certain things. We can temporarily reach an agreement and then cooperate in a free and equal relationship, but we hope that we can always maintain the same position. Even if we are sometimes enemies and friends, we can finally let go of our past grievances and move forward and retreat together. So, what else can be better than letting her know Have you ever seen the better impact of us killing each other?"
"Uh-huh, yes, I really don't understand where this strange innocence of little Lulu comes from? Do you think it's children playing house? Sitting in rows eating fruits and loving each other for a lifetime?" Hisoka snorted and sneered, Looking at Chrollo, there was a hidden turbulent trend in his eyes, and he was looking forward to the day when he and Chrollo would decide the outcome in a life-and-death battle.
Illumi also looked at the three members of the brigade and Hisoka indifferently. His position could never be consistent with theirs. Cooperation, confrontation, testing each other and being wary of each other were the long-standing policy of interaction between the Hakka family and the brigade.
The knight interrupted the conversation in a conciliatory manner. "Okay, don't worry about Cellululu's thoughts. The point is, what caused us to kill each other? Leader and Hisoka, the starting point of all your premonitions is Cellululu's departure, right? Her departure may indeed lead to the occlusion of information, leading to unclear understanding of the truth of our death and collapse, but just that, I feel that this precognition is still lacking something. What is the key point of reversal? Prediction should be to prevent something, right? And now that Celluloid has not left, your premonition still hasn’t disappeared, which means we must have missed some link that we didn’t notice, right?”
"The link that I didn't notice?" Chrollo covered his mouth and pondered again, "What will she do after she leaves, and what will she do that will lead to the final series of results, Elias's recovery..."
Chrollo couldn't figure it out for a while. At this moment, Cellululu, who was in Hisoka's arms, suddenly groaned.
"Woo..." This sound was filled with pain and despair, as if she had lost all hope and had nothing left to cherish. The girl's body was suddenly filled with an astonishing air of death and twilight, but these also seemed like the last... Suddenly faded away like a dying struggle. At this time, although the girl was still here, the impression left on people seemed to be just a lifeless empty shell. And then the girl slowly opened her eyes, and people could only imagine This feeling.
Even though those eyes are looking at you, they don't seem to be looking into them. Looking into their hearts, even though they still blink, they don't look like a living creature. There is nothing in their eyes, and there seems to be nothing in their hearts. Luoluo frowned slightly. This state was not like that of the so-called followers of disillusionment. He used to think that humans could not really do this, but Cellululu, she saw something that allowed her to give up everything. No longer willing to have any contact with the outside world? And is this really related to their deaths?
"Celulu, what did you see?" Chrollo asked warmly.
Celluloid didn't respond and seemed to be still immersed in fantasy.
"Little Lulu?" Hisoka asked, stroking Cellululu's ear. He also noticed something was wrong with Cellululu. Holding her at this time was like holding a lifeless doll. The girl remained silent, Hisoka Unhappy, he raised the girl's chin with one hand and lowered his head, "Little Lulu, if you don't answer me, will I kiss you?" He said, without waiting for Cellululu to reply, he pouted and wanted to kiss you.
Feitan's eyes flashed with gold, and before Hisoka kissed her, he reached out and pulled Cellululu's cheek that he had pinched before and said angrily. "Why are you pretending to be dead like that? It's even uglier than crying with a sad face. Wake up! If you don't wake up, I won't just screw you!"
Cellululu didn't respond at first, but her eyes, which were originally as calm as a pool of stagnant water, gradually began to ripple. Finally, she burst into tears from the pain, and she suddenly slapped Feitan's hand away and shouted angrily.
"Didn't I tell you not to use your hands or feet! Are you still twisting the place where I was injured before? It's already swollen and looks ugly!"
Feitan let go and said with a disgusted expression. "Huh, are you awake? I just saw you dying and getting angry!"
"I..." Cellululu rubbed her cheek and was confused at first, but suddenly thought of what she had just seen, her face immediately changed, "You are not dead? Great, you are not dead..." She cried as if she was relieved. Yin murmured, with a heavy look of fear on his face and a thankfulness that it was not too late.
"Celulu saw us die?" The knight asked cautiously. Even if they all really saw their own deaths, if the speculation is correct, Cellululu should be the one who saw the final outcome.
Cellululu's expression changed again, and she moved her lips tremblingly, trying to speak. She tried several times before struggling to pronounce the words. "It's Elias, you died because of me, I caused you to die! It's me..., why are you still like this after leaving, why? Why?" She trembled uncontrollably, biting desperately She pursed her lips, and if Hisoka hadn't still been holding her, she might even have collapsed on the ground.
"Celulu, calm down. None of this has happened yet. We can still save it, right?" Chrollo reached out, held her shoulders, and tried to comfort her in a gentle tone. Although the girl was awake, her mood seemed a bit hysterical. .
"It didn't happen, yes, it hasn't happened yet." Cellululu muttered to herself almost nervously, as if grasping straw.
"We have analyzed it just now. There must be something else behind your departure that led to this result. Cellululu, can you tell me what you want to do after you leave?" Chrollo's tone remained calm, but other The person paid 120% of his attention, and this should be the key point.
"I..., if my identity as the resuscitation container spreads, I will definitely not be able to escape pursuit, so I want to die in front of the demons for once, and then hide, and wait until you all leave this world, then I will come out." Celluloid Lu's mind was a little confused and she was still entangled in the matter of Elias, so all her answers were about Elias-related plans.
Chrollo frowned. This may have some influence, but it must be more than that. "What else? Are these the plans?"
"There's more...no more." Cellululu was at a loss at first, but looking at Chrollo's eyes, she tried to think again, and then finally remembered. "Ah, by the way, I want to return Shuiqin to Mayside. This is also a big trouble."
"Shui Qin?" Something seemed to flash through Chrollo's mind, but he couldn't remember it.
At this time, a temple knight hurried over and saw Hisoka. After saluting, he knelt down and greeted Illumi before reporting to Hisoka.
"Lord Hisoka, Lord Lancer invites you to go to the Great Temple to welcome guests, and respectfully invites the Fairy Queen and Shuiqin Host to accompany them."
"What guests are you welcoming?" Hisoka asked with some disinterest.
"The Holy Maiden of the Water Temple and the representatives of the Endless Sea Mermaids, His Royal Highness the First Prince of the Kemien Empire and his delegation, the Third Prince of the Tuksa Empire and his national advisor, the leader of the Demigod Tribe, Griffin and his entourage, and the President of the Magician's Guild , Loev, the dark department instructor of Hisaros College, and his party, came together to visit." The Temple Knight reported a long list of visitors.
"What are all these people here for?" Hisoka asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes... they are all here for Shuiqin's host." The temple knight's eyes wandered to the girl in Hisoka's arms before he said.
"Is it all for Shuiqin? Or is it for the identity of the resuscitating container?" Cellululu was silent for a while, somewhat self-deprecatingly.
Although Hisoka didn't want to see these unknown people, this unreasonable request was rejected by Lancer. He even came to invite people in person. Cellululu also felt that avoiding them was not the way to do it. They had to see what the other person's intention was first. The group of people When they arrived at the Great Cathedral, each party was occupying a corner, but after seeing Cellululu, they all looked at her with various meanings.
