People are coming and going at the Jakaanda Airship Airport. Among the hurried passengers, a tall and tall man with long black hair is particularly eye-catching. He seems to stand out from the crowd. He has a beautiful appearance but an expressionless face. , the steps were silent, and it seemed that he was not in a hurry, but in the blink of an eye, he had gone a long way. In front of him, on the large screen at the airport, the news of Zarut's follow-up report was being broadcast. Many tourists stopped to watch. .
"This station has received news that hackers affiliated with the Hunter Association have recovered some files in Zarut's computer. The chief of the Jac Anda Police Department and the director and general manager of the Jac Anda Pharmaceutical Factory are suspected of being involved in a series of crimes against humanity. In the experiment, Congressman Johnson, leader of the opposition party in the Republic of Lirivia, jointly submitted an application for protection to the v5 organization with a joint investigation team from the Hunter Association and human rights organizations on the grounds that many members of the Republic of Lirivia were suspected of collusion and feared that the truth would be suppressed. and investigation order, the v5 organization approved the application, the violating troops arrived in Jeka Anda, and arrested the relevant personnel.
On the TV, when the camera turned, the police chief of Jeka Anda looked panicked and shouted injustice when being interviewed by reporters. However, he was escorted into the car from the front of the police station by the investigation team. "I really don't know. I am innocent. He is the mayor. I was just following orders. I have no idea what he did."
The directors and general managers of the pharmaceutical factory, who were also taken away from home, behaved much more depressed and quiet. They just said nothing when being interviewed by reporters. Some reporters didn't know what to ask and pointed the microphone aside without giving up. The flaxen-haired girl bit her lip in silence. "Excuse me, do you know what your father and brother did?"
The flaxen-haired girl took a step back in fright, turned around and ran into the house, closing the door with a bang.
On the TV, the camera turned back to the female anchor again, and she continued. "It is also reported that when they broke into the Zarut Manor that day, dozens of soaked people appeared in front of the gate out of thin air. They have been confirmed to be missing persons and victims of the incident."
As the scene turned, the survivors spoke with various expressions of fear, anger, and gratitude when being interviewed and asked by reporters.
"When we woke up, we were locked up in a prison-like place. There were forty or fifty people at first, but people were taken away every day, and those people never came back."
"Almost all those arrested are from different cities, and they did it on purpose!"
"Zarut appeared several times, and he was the one who captured us!"
"How can a mayor be so bold? There must be a shady secret behind this! The country must give us an explanation!"
"You ask how we escaped? Someone rescued us. At that time, I thought I was dead. The seawater poured in and they wanted to drown us! Those heartless beasts!"
"I don't know how I came here from the sea in the blink of an eye, but someone did save us. They helped open the door of the prison. They were a woman and two men. I wonder if they are hunters?"
"They gave me a second life. I really want to say thank you to them in person. I don't know who they are, but only hunters can be that powerful."
"What do you think they look like? Well, there's a pretty little girl with aqua-blue hair, a handsome and gentle man who looks like a high school student, and there's another one who's very short, with navy blue hair, and his face can't be seen because of his collar. It was too high to block it, and I just felt the eyes were scary. I was a little ashamed that I was afraid of my saviors, but they are good people! If it weren't for them, I would be dead."
·········
Illumi paused for a moment, and the pretty girl with aqua-blue hair teleported out of thin air. She must be Celluloid, but the handsome and gentle man who looked like a high school student and the short man with navy blue hair and scary eyes? Are you talking about Chrollo and Feitan? They found celluloid too? So, everyone found Celluloid, and he was the last one? Illumi suddenly felt as if he had been abandoned by everyone.
On the big screen, the female anchor had turned the microphone to a handsome man with golden brown hair.
"...We interviewed Mr. Pariston Hill, the vice president of the Hunters Association. Mr. Hill, it is said that you were also in the Zalut Manor at the time? Do you know the identities of those three people? The final Zalut incident How will it be solved?"
"I previously discovered Zarut's heinous cruelty through reliable tips. As the vice president of the Hunter Association, I couldn't sit back and ignore it, so I came to Jakaanda and personally infiltrated Zalut. Root Manor to collect evidence. I'm sorry for the inconvenience of telling you the identities of those three people, but one of them is indeed an outstanding hunter in the Hunter Association." Paris remained calm and blurred the fact that he was caught, and continued to show his face. Gold. "We acted together. Fortunately, the sky has eyes, and we lived up to our trust and exposed the whole conspiracy to the sun..."
Illumi glanced indifferently at the man on the TV who was delivering an impassioned speech with a hypocritical politician-like smile. Finally, with a sincere expression on his face, he said to the camera.
"Hunters, while enjoying huge rights, should also give back to society, advocate justice for the weak, and fight against evildoers. The Zarut incident is the best example. I will definitely seek justice for the victims. As long as I am also the vice president of the Hunter Association. As long as I am still in office, I will do my best to promote and implement this concept to the end. Thank you everyone~"
When he finished speaking, the audience watching on the TV burst into applause, with expressions of deeply moved recognition and admiration on their faces.
He really knows how to build his reputation. It would be a pity not to go into politics. Illumi came to the conclusion in his heart. On the other side of the city, Feitan was also laughing.
"This pretty face vice-president really dares to say that! It seems that he shouldn't be called pretty face, but Erpilian."
Chrollo sat leisurely on the sofa, supporting his forehead with one hand, and he chuckled slightly, turning off the TV.
"What are you talking about?" Cellulu put on her coat and walked out of the room. She asked doubtfully, but did not expect an answer before continuing. "I have to go to the police station, can you help yourself?"
"Let's go together, it'll be fine anyway." Chrollo smiled.
Feitan directly used actions instead of words, raised his legs and walked out.
Cellululu didn't refuse pretentiously. The two of them had helped her so much that even thanking her seemed out of place, so she could only record this feeling from the bottom of her heart.
When the three of them arrived at the police station, the atmosphere inside was very gloomy and there was a sense of panic. Therefore, even if they saw the wanted criminal with a reward on his head appearing openly, no police officers immediately jumped out and shouted to arrest her. Waiting for a reaction When it was time to take action, he was immediately put off by the hunter's license shown by Cellululu. In the past few days, people from the Hunter Association and the Free Human Rights Organization had been tossing them up and down the police station. Ordinary policemen would have seen it. Hunters with licenses feel naturally at a disadvantage. What's more, now that the police chief has been taken away, I heard that there are more people suspected of being involved in the Zarut experiment incident. Now everyone in the police station Seeing that everyone else was a little suspicious, I was deeply afraid that someone I was close to might be a suspect, and if I got too close to the other person, I would be suspected of being an accomplice. Suddenly, there was a lot of chaos, everyone was in danger, and they were no longer interested in working.
In the end, the deputy chief of the police station came out with a smile. He was not involved in the Zarut incident. The police chief was taken away again. If nothing else happens, he will become the new police chief. This incident It was an unexpected surprise for him, so when Cellulu explained her affairs, hoped to cancel the arrest warrant for her and Phoebe's family, and presented Pariston's personal letter, the deputy director said nothing and took the photo He promised that the matter would be resolved immediately. After thanking Cellulu, he was ready to leave. However, Chrollo knew very well how procrastinating these bureaucrats were in their work efficiency. If he did not resolve it on the spot, he wondered if there would be any twists and turns in the future. and variables, so Chrollo said to Celluloid in a serious tone, as if he mentioned it casually.
"Pariston isn't coming over later. Just wait for him. I'm sure your matter will be settled by the time he arrives."
Cellulu was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to say something, Chrollo had already signaled her to be silent with his eyes.
When the deputy director heard this, his eyes also changed. He didn't want to deal with Cellululu. After all, Pariston's autograph letter was not light, but the speed of doing things was naturally not much faster. After going through the procedures, Ten days and a half are always required, but when he heard that Pariston was coming in person, the level of attention changed. The deputy director asked cautiously with a hint of flattery.
"The vice president of the Hunter Association wants to come in person?"
Pariston has not been to the police station. Only the hunters under him have been following up the investigation. However, the deputy director also understands that the other party is a big shot after all, but if he can handle the girl's affairs properly and beautifully, then he can borrow the money. Now that he has a conversation with the vice-president of the Hunter Association, will his future career be smoother? When the deputy director thought of this, his eyes narrowed with a smile.
"Of course." Chrollo said without changing his expression. Even if it was false, he would make it true if necessary.
The deputy director's attitude became more enthusiastic. He did not doubt Chrollo's words. After all, he could produce a handwritten letter, which showed that Pariston must know them. Therefore, he changed his words and asked Chrollo and the three of them to sit down. He will now To cancel the arrest warrant for Celluloid and Phoebe's family, it is absolutely guaranteed that this matter will be done before Pariston arrives.
Chrollo smiled slightly and motioned to the deputy director to help himself. When the deputy director left, Cellululu was happy and admired.
"Chrollo, you are so awesome. You actually thought of using a tiger skin to make a big flag. I am ready to wait."
"If there is a shortcut, of course you have to take advantage of it." Chlorolya smiled.
"It's just that if Mr. Hill doesn't show up later, won't the deputy director feel that he was deceived?" Cellululu was happy and worried again.
Chrollo said indifferently. "Don't worry. If you're worried, just call Pariston later. Even if he doesn't show up, I'll be satisfied if the deputy director can have a word with Pariston."
Celluloid thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Although she felt a little embarrassed to bother Pariston, she had to do it to lose face for herself and Phoebe's family.
After waiting for less than half an hour, the deputy director came back. He held several documents and said enthusiastically.
"Miss Derek, the arrest warrants for your family have been revoked and a notice has been issued. Please see, these are the relevant documents."
Cellululu took it and after checking that it was correct, she breathed a sigh of relief, finally settling a worry.
"By the way, when will Vice President Pariston arrive?" the deputy director asked, rubbing his hands.
"Ah, this." Cellululu was embarrassed, took out her cell phone, and was about to call Pariston, but Chrollo took it directly. After dialing the number, he walked out. Cellululu couldn't hear him and Pariston. Ristone said something there, but when Chrollo came back, he handed the phone directly to the deputy director and said.
"Paris Stone has something to tell you."
"Ah, yes." The deputy director immediately took the phone excitedly, and even though he was no longer in front of him, he unconsciously bent down to greet him.
"My dear Thomas, I am the deputy chief of the Jakarta Police Department. I would like to send you my regards, Mr. Pariston Hill."
On the other end of the phone came the familiar voice of the deputy director that he had heard countless times on TV. It was indeed the vice president of the Hunter Association. He said with a bright smile.
"Hello, Mr. Thomas, I originally planned to come over, but I was delayed because of something, so I can only thank you on the phone for your help with Celluloid."
"No matter what, this is what I should do." The deputy director said with a cheerful smile.
Pariston said a few more words kindly and cordially before hanging up the phone. Then, facing the darkened screen, he smiled to himself.
"It's really the debt of the twelfth lunar month. He paid it back quickly. He said he wanted to thank me and immediately took the opportunity to let me pay it back. Chrollo-kun is really good at calculating things."
Here, Thomas returned the phone to Chrollo with satisfaction and respectfully sent the three of them away.
After regaining her freedom and standing on the street, Cellululu felt that the sky was a little blue. She turned around and smiled.
"Chrollo, when did you and Mr. Hill have such a good relationship? Are you actually willing to help us tell lies?"
"It's perfectly normal for you to save his life and for him to return a favor to you." Chrollo said casually.
"Well, okay, no matter what, I have to thank you and Mr. Hill." After thanking Cellululu, he hesitated for a moment before saying. "Well, the matter is settled. I want to pick up Phoebe and her family as soon as possible, so I'm leaving right away. If you two are busy, you don't need to delay anymore."
Feitan, who had been too lazy to speak, suddenly laughed angrily. "You're done, so you're just going to burn the bridge and abandon us?"
Cellululu said anxiously. "No! It's just that I do have something to do. Anyway, I won't leave Jikaanda. You can come back later."
"Who knows whether what you said is true or not? You have so many bad records that it's hard to believe." Feitan sneered.
"That's not because..." Cellululu blurted out. She realized something was wrong and stopped in time.
"You want to avoid us, don't want to see us," Chrollo directly spoke the girl's heart.
Cellululu lowered her head and said nothing.
"Then why don't you hide this time?" Feitan asked mockingly.
"Is there any use in hiding? I'd still be found by you guys." Cellululu muttered in a low voice.
"It's good if you really know." Chrollo took a deep look at Cellululu and said.
"Huh, if you can run away, a monk can't run away from the temple. I remember that Phoebe family." Feitan said a little conspiratorially.
Cellululu's expression changed and she wanted to be angry, but in the end she sighed. "You don't need to threaten me, I won't hide anymore, so if you don't see me, you must not mess with Phoebe's family indiscriminately. You also have my mobile phone number. Call me." Call me and I promise I won’t miss it.”
Although she would not leave Phoebe's house, there was no guarantee that she would not go out if something happened. It would be bad if Feitan, a grumpy man, mistakenly thought that she was gone and took it out on Phoebe's family. The level made Feitan trust her a little bit. At least if he cared about that family so much, he wouldn't really leave without saying goodbye.
After all that needed to be said, Cellululu said goodbye and left in a long jump. Chrollo looked at the place where she disappeared for a long time, then turned around and said calmly. "Let's go."
Cellululu has been stabilized for the time being, and it is time to finish the previous activities as soon as possible. There is still the underground labyrinth city Bellavist waiting for him.
Feitan followed, he also needed to move around. From the beginning to the end of the Zarut incident, he didn't have any chance to make a move, and his skills were almost rusty.
The three of them left Jakaanda, and Illumi stood at the door of Phoebe's house, which was guarded by General Iron. He was speechless for a long time. The falling yellow leaves swirled behind him alone, making Illumi's back look a little desolate.
After a moment, Illumi took out his cell phone and dialed directly. The call was connected, and Siba's voice came from the other side. "Illumi?"
"Father, I need to take some time off." Illumi said calmly.
Siba asked after the accident. "Yes, yes, but how long will it take?"
"Until I find the person I'm looking for." Illumi said firmly.
"...Okay." Siba was silent for a moment and agreed.
Illumi hung up the phone and dialed Miji's number instead. Miji, who was desperately beaten by his elder brother, answered the call almost as soon as the phone rang. Illumi said coldly. "Report whatever information there is on Cellululu, no matter how small it is, don't miss it. I hope you won't be perfunctory this time."
Hearing his eldest brother's obvious threat, Mi Ji quickly swore that he would investigate carefully. As soon as the phone hung up, he desperately began to search for information about Celluloid, and then, it didn't take long to discover Cellululu and Phoebe's family. The wanted order has been withdrawn.
After receiving the news, Illumi had already left Phoebe's house and turned back. If the wanted list is gone, will the family come back? Will Celluloid come back too? Even if they don't come back, this family should know something. Illumi made up his mind and prepared for the cat not to leave. He jumped up the tree and started the wait-and-see mode.
