On the highway leading to Jakaanda, in a roadside fast food restaurant, the follow-up report of the Jacaranda Middle School hijacking incident was being played on the TV. Feitan put down the half-drunk Coke and asked suspiciously.

"Jacaranda Middle School? Celluloid's school?"

After a pause, without waiting for a reply, Feitan murmured in a low voice, whether in disgust or helplessness.

"I've always felt that that guy was really unlucky and would always get involved in all kinds of bad luck and trouble."

"That being said, it seems true." The knight held his chin and thought for a while, then nodded in agreement as if he was deeply moved. He glanced at his companion and suddenly said something. "The most unlucky thing I've ever had was running into you."

Feitan immediately became angry. "What did you say? Do you want to die?"

The knight retorted without fear of death, "I'm not wrong." Before Feitan could get angry, he suddenly laughed again as if he had gotten some cold joke.

"But normally it would be unlucky to meet our group, haha~~"

Feitan felt a chill and was speechless. "Are you possessed by Finks?"

Chrollo ignored the two companions who were bickering with each other, still holding the burger in one hand and chewing it slowly, while with the other hand he quickly and flexibly typed a message on his phone and sent it.

There was a beep, and not long after, the text message came back, and the knight immediately stretched his head to see.

"Captain, did you just send a text message to Cellululu? What did she say?"

——You saw the hijacking incident at Jacaranda Middle School. What do you think? I'll go find you later. byCulolo

——Chrollo, are you coming to Jakaanda? I'm fine. When will you arrive? I made an appointment with Mr. Hill to treat his injuries. How about I call you when it's over? bycellululu

"Going to heal that vice-president's injuries? When did their relationship become so good?" The knight was immediately disgusted.

"Hmph, that woman is really nosy." Feitan was also upset.

Chrollo was also a little surprised. He tapped his fingertips on the table several times rhythmically as if thinking, but did not express any opinion, he just said.

"Have you finished eating? Let's go." He put away his phone and didn't reply.

Feitan and Xia Ke finished the remaining food in two or two, and quickly followed the group leader. Xia Ke drove and the three of them drove towards the urban area of ​​Jacca Anda.

At this moment, Cellululu was also ready to go out. She turned around and greeted John Gina,

"I am leaving."

But he saw Phoebe chasing him out, a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

"Celulu, when you see Mr. Hill, you must remember to ask him when he is free to come to our house for dinner. My family has not thanked him properly yet."

"Yes, you must remember." Gina immediately agreed with a smile.

"I won't forget it." Cellululu quickly promised, and then Phoebe Gina, who was caring about her, let her go.

Walking on the road, you can see joint search and patrol teams of armed police and soldiers everywhere in the streets and alleys. Although the hijacking incident is over, the situation in Jaka Anda has become tense. The news is almost real-time and 24 hours a day. In the follow-up progress of the live broadcast, Celluloid could see Pariston on the news several times every day. He pointed out that there were still remnants of terrorists hiding in Jeca Anda, which made everyone panic. Fortunately, Pariston comforted him on the news again. It took tough measures to arrest and crack down on terrorists to stabilize the mood of ordinary citizens.

Pariston is very busy, but Cellulu has been very free these two days. The school has not reopened yet because the clean-up work has not been completed. I didn’t want to disturb Pariston at first, but I saw in the news yesterday that Pariston was taking the lead in the investigation. She was slightly injured during a terrorist attack, and Cellulu couldn't sit still. She promised to treat Pariston's injuries, but she put it aside because she was afraid of delaying his work. But now the situation is not good, and he is injured. Going into battle would only aggravate the danger. Cellululu called Pariston and explained that she hoped to treat him as soon as possible. Pariston immediately agreed and gave Cellululu his address and asked her to find him today.

Pariston's current command office is located in the city government building. Before Cellulu could reach the door, she noticed that there were five sentries and ten posts. The army and armed police surrounded the office building, and the news media swarmed. At the door, trying to get exclusive or latest news as soon as possible, Cellulu saw this formation and hesitated for a while before approaching. As expected, she was stopped by the sentry. She quickly showed her hunter's license and gave it to Pariston. After making a phone call, Pariston sent a hunter down before taking her into the city hall building.

During this period, the media also discovered this special girl, but they did not act rashly. However, when they saw Cellululu being brought in by people from the Hunter Association, they were immediately excited. The spotlight was also focused on Cellululu, and they were all directed at her. After a sudden flash, a large number of people rushed up to interview her. Cellululu quickly covered her face and followed the responding hunter into the building quickly. She thought that she could only ask Paris Stone to see if she could do it. Suppress the news about her, otherwise if there is no intervention, her news will probably be determined, and we don’t know how others will speculate on her identity. Although in this world where power reigns, celluloid is no longer so Always be careful about everything and keep a low profile, but you don’t want to be high-profile and make it known to the world.

The hunter took her to the door of Pariston's office. After knocking on the door, Pariston's voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

Cellullu followed and walked in. In the spacious and bright office, Pariston was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, overlooking the scenery below. He turned his body slightly, waved to the hunter to step back, and then said hello with a smile. .

"Miss Cellululu, please take this trip. I was supposed to come to visit myself, but I was really busy with things and couldn't get away. I didn't encounter anything when I came here."

"You are serious, Mr. Hill. I am the one who dragged you into this difficult quagmire, so if you can help me, please feel free to do so." Cellululu said quickly.

Pariston heard the sincerity behind the seemingly polite words, and unconsciously slightly bent his eyes, revealing a slightly happy smile with some unknown meaning.

Celluloid walked up to Pariston, her eyes lingering on him, and found that there was no serious injury. After breathing a sigh of relief, she turned to look at the scenery he was looking at.

Looking down from dozens of floors, the entire Jakaanda can be seen almost at a glance. Even Zarut's manor can see a lot of panoramic views. Although it is hidden in the forest, at the last moment, celluloid She unconsciously took a step back, her legs were weak because of dizziness. Pariston noticed it and asked in surprise.

"What's wrong? Little Miss Celluloid."

"No, it's okay." Cellulu took a step back again, but directly changed the topic. "I wonder when we can start?"

Although she felt a little indebted to Pariston for seducing people, in the end, she and Pariston were not very familiar with each other. He had always been more familiar with him. If the two of them really faced each other, she actually didn't know it at all. Know what to talk to this person about.

Pariston glanced up and down at the celluloid, going back and forth between the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, her unconscious steps and averted eyes, and suddenly smiled in amusement.

"Is Little Miss Celluloid afraid of heights?"

Cellululu realized that the observation skills of the strong men in the Hunter World were all the same. If they were doing criminal investigation, they would all be well-known detectives. After being discovered, Cellululu could only admit it, laughing a little awkwardly. road.

"It's a bit of a joke, it made Mr. Hill laugh."

"Haha, I can't say it's funny, it's quite unexpected, but it is indeed a cute little weakness."

Pariston said in a joking tone, which naturally did not arouse any vigilance from Celluloid, but made her feel a little more embarrassed.

However, Pariston did not continue to talk about this matter. He turned around, put one hand on the glass, and looked down at the densely packed crowd below, which was almost as dense as ants. They were so small, as small as dust compared to the vast world. , Pariston's brown eyes were deep and dull, as if there was a twisted whirlpool hidden in them, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

"I really like high places~"

Pariston's face was projected on the glass, extremely blurry. Celluloid couldn't see his expression clearly. He only said one sentence and then paused. Celluloid politely waited for his next words. As a result, Pariston After a moment of silence, he turned around, skipped the topic, and said with a smile.

"Little Miss Celluloid, why don't we start treatment now."

"Ah? Oh, okay." Cellululu was stunned for a moment before answering.

The two sat down on the sofa. Pariston concealed his inquiring mind very well. He just looked at Cellululu with a curious expression. Cellululu didn't waste any time and directly activated Shuiqin. , a hazy and translucent water-colored halo appeared on her hand. Wherever the halo touched, she felt a cold but comfortable flow of clear water, and the pain in her chest and wounds that were originally painful were soothed and relieved. , but Pariston didn't care about this at all, just staring at the girl being treated.

He once again felt the huge pressure he had felt in the last hunter exam arena, but the pressure at that time gave him an uncontrollable urge to surrender and kneel down from the depths of his soul. Today, this The pressure has eased a lot, but perhaps because of the close distance, Pariston can more clearly feel the insignificance that arises in the face of this unknown power, as if he is meeting a god. He seems to be lower than an ant, more despicable.

Pariston once again had the huge conflicting feeling of hoping that his figure could stay in the girl's eyes, but also felt that he was not worthy of such a special thing. His heart was filled with chaotic and contradictory thoughts, wanting to destroy her, but also wanting to let her Always looking at him, but these were broken by the girl's eyes.

Under the influence of coercion, her gentle and calm face became as ruthless and indifferent as a god. The sight that occasionally glanced at him was like looking at an inanimate dead thing, full of indifference and indifference, even for He was treating her with the same casualness as if he was flicking away a small insect. This look was even more unbearable than the anger directed at them. At least then she was paying attention to them, not like At this time, he didn't take him to heart at all.

The anger that came from nowhere gradually filled Pariston's heart, and the idea of ​​​​completely destroying her completely took over. Pariston's whole body was trembling, his smile gradually twisted, and the dark telepathy in his body slowly began to stir. In the world of telepathy that can only be seen with concentration, the indescribable black telepathy is stretching and squirming like a ball of living things, ugly and unknown, with a sludge-like malice and destruction.

what to do? He couldn't help it anymore, he almost wanted to tear off the girl's sacred and solemn skin right now, let her lie broken and miserably in a pool of blood, watch the light in her eyes slowly disappear, and finally become a silent corpse. Riston's heart was filled with twisted excitement and a perverted sense of pleasure.

Cellululu, who was being treated, suddenly felt excited and trembled uncontrollably, as if she was being targeted by some terrible beast. She had been working hard to suppress Shuiqin's power so that she would not look like a glowing light bulb. The same powerful force poured out uncontrollably like a counterattack.

A burst of dazzling water-colored halo suddenly erupted from the girl's body, changing and shining. This sacred power was so powerful that it healed all Pariston's injuries in just an instant, and swept away the lethargy and fatigue of her body. It was empty, but just when Pariston felt that his physical condition was better than ever, his spirit seemed to have been hit hard. Suddenly, he became dizzy and blurred, and the unspeakable ugly thoughts in his heart seemed to be illuminated by light. The darkness was slowly forced back, and even slowly evaporated.

Pariston felt an indescribable pain, a pain as if his own existence and will were completely denied, as if his soul was being severely whipped, his heart was trembling, shaking, and collapsing, between the edge of life and death. The strong sense of crisis that he had developed suddenly hit his heart. Almost subconsciously, Pariston broke away. He instantly appeared in the corner farthest from the celluloid, out of the range of the blue light.

"Stop!" He shouted with an almost ferocious look on his face.

The powerful and holy power in the air was swept away in an instant. Pariston held his head with his right hand, looking at the girl sitting on the sofa with fear and scrutiny. She had taken back her power. , transformed back into a seemingly normal and ordinary girl, but the feeling just now could not be dissipated in Paris's heart.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hill, did I hurt you? I'm sorry, I couldn't control my strength for a moment..."

The girl stood up and seemed to want to come over. Pariston took a step back uncontrollably and realized that he had lost his composure. His face turned ugly for a moment, as if he had sensed his resistance. The girl stopped and apologized uneasily. He looked up, but a trace of doubt slowly rose in his eyes.

Paris finally calmed down after a moment. He is also a man with deep knowledge and strong will. Of course, perverts have strong wills, otherwise they would not be able to implement their own ideas all the time. Therefore, the smile returned to his face. On the night, he sorted out his mood and thoughts. He had to know what happened just now.

Pariston walked back to Celluloid and spoke apologetically, with a hint of distress and just the right amount of bewilderment.

"Sorry, that power suddenly made me feel a little uncomfortable. I couldn't control myself at all. I was so rude when I yelled at you just now. Little Miss Cellululu must have been frightened. Please accept my sincere apology."

Pariston smiled sincerely and spoke sincerely, Cellululu said quickly. "No, it's okay, Mr. Pariston. I didn't pay attention and let the power go out of control. Are you still uncomfortable in any way now? And what kind of discomfort did you feel just now?"

Cellulu was also startled before. Even if she was frightened by Pariston's performance, she was also afraid that she would really hurt Pariston. As for why Pariston felt uncomfortable, she was also quite puzzled, although she knew the general The reason, but I don’t know why this phenomenon occurs.

Pariston did not answer immediately. He thought about it in his heart before telling his feelings half-truthfully and then asked.

"I don't feel any discomfort now, but I felt a little mentally trance just now. I thought I was being attacked, so I overreacted. But can Miss Celluloid tell me what happened?"

"In a trance?" The girl showed an expression that was indeed the case. She wanted to ask, but didn't know what to say, and she was a little embarrassed, as if she didn't know how to explain. Pariston urged her gently.

"Little Miss Celluloid?"

Cellululu looked at Pariston. Shuiqin just wanted to brainwash Pariston. Did she feel something? Celluloid did not imagine that Pariston was very bad. After all, Shuiqin is extremely pure and pure, and it is almost impossible for anyone to pass the test of Shuiqin. This is a basic human nature problem, and it can be said to be a crime other than war.

But how to explain it to Pariston was a headache. Cellululu had no choice but to make it up.

"I'm sorry. My power has some mental attack properties. I didn't control it well just now, so I'm like this. I'm really sorry."

Pariston didn't believe this, and while the essence of her ability made him feel threatened, it also gave him a strange idea, one that he had never thought of before, but now suddenly felt that it was very reasonable. If this speculation is true, it may be able to explain the unique origins of this seemingly ordinary girl. As soon as he thinks of the meaning behind this speculation, Pariston can hardly restrain himself with excitement. Now, the girl's own abilities It is no longer the focus of attracting him, the possibility represented by this ability is!

It was just a matter of testing, but one also had to pay attention to methods. Pariston pondered for a moment and suddenly started talking about something else.

"Miss Cellululu has been a hunter for some time. In fact, there is a hidden exam for hunters. Only by passing the hidden exam can you truly and officially become a hunter. If you fail, even if you get the hunter's license, it will be revoked in the end. "

As expected, the girl's attention was drawn away, and she asked slightly surprised.

"Ah? Is this happening? What kind of exam is it? How can I pass it? Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Hill, if it's not convenient to tell you, forget it."

Cellululu didn't even remember that there was a hidden exam, after all, it happened so long ago.

Pariston smiled. "It's not inconvenient. Those who don't know it naturally find it mysterious, but everyone who knows knows it. Miss Cellulu knows about telekinesis, right? After all, your friends Hisoka-kun, Illumi-kun, Chrollo-kun and Fei Tanjun and Mr. Jin, they are both telekinesis users, aren’t they?”

After being slightly surprised, Cellululu nodded and admitted.

"Yes, I know."

Since Pariston can become the vice-president of the Hunter Association, it is only natural that he himself is a telepathic person. It is also natural that he can see that Chrollo and the others are telepathic people.

"But what does this have to do with the hidden exam?" Cellululu asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's relevant. Becoming a telekinesis user is a condition for passing the exam." When Paris's voice ended, she noticed that Cellululu's face had changed. She asked with embarrassment and a wry smile, without hope.

"Do I have to become a telepathic person?"

"Yes, that's the rule. What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Pariston asked.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that I can't become a person with telekinesis. It seems that this hunter's license will be returned to the Hunter Association soon." Cellululu got the expected answer, took out her hunter's license, and He said helplessly, he was about to lose it before he could cover it up. Sure enough, he still didn’t have that life? But anyway, now that the crisis has been resolved, it is not so necessary or urgent to have this certificate.

A glimmer of light flashed in Pariston's eyes, and he thought for a moment before asking.

"I thought it was a little strange before. Sure enough, Miss Cellulu's ability is not telekinesis. Is it because of this ability that Miss Cellulu is sure that she cannot become a telepathic person? It's just the difference between this kind of power and telekinesis. Where is it? Have Little Miss Celluloid studied it? Or have you tried to stimulate telekinesis? If you don’t mind, I am willing to guide Little Miss Celluloid.”

"Of course I have tried it, but it seems that my ability and telekinesis are two incompatible things. It feels like 'I am without him, and he is without me'. It is impossible to exist at the same time anyway."

It was impossible for Celluloid to tell Pariston that she could not learn any special power inherent in a certain world under Paris's Law, so she could only lie.

"Really? This is really strange. Where does Little Miss Celluloid's power come from? Speaking of which, when Little Miss Cellululu's power is released, it makes people feel like they are seeing the arrival of a god. It's like As solemn and sacred as the water god in myths and legends, you were completely different at that time than usual."

Pariston smiled, as if he was trying to analyze something, and even expressed his true thoughts in a joking tone. After seeing Celluloid's silent expression as if she was hiding something after being surprised, he continued: .

"Actually, I have seen several cases similar to Miss Celluloid. After all, this position always has access to many secrets. Although many people have gone crazy or died, some people have indeed gained incredible power. There is a power that is completely incompatible with this world. The situation of Little Miss Celluloid makes me have to think the same way. I would like to ask, has Little Miss Celluloid ever come into contact with a special being from the outside world? Or? Say, you are from the outside world? For example, the Dark Continent?"

Pariston finally threw away the suspicion that suddenly occurred to him. Yes, Pariston didn't know anything. He had also made bold speculations about other worlds that King had said, but he couldn't really believe that there were other worlds. It exists, but if this explanation doesn't make sense, the only reason I can think of is the Dark Continent. Especially the girl's power obviously conflicts with the current power system, and only that magical world can probably explain this phenomenon.

Pariston observed the girl's every move eagerly and carefully, not missing every change in her expression.

Cellululu was stunned for a moment, her brows tightened and then relaxed, but this seemed a bit noncommittal in Pariston's eyes. The girl did not answer any of his questions, but just asked as if matter-of-factly.

"Mr. Hill also knows about the Dark Continent?"

But this avoidant attitude made Pariston feel more and more likely that his guess was possible, and he said with a smile on his face.

"Sure enough, Miss Cellulu knows about the Dark Continent. So, can you tell me what the Dark Continent you know is like?"

"Mr. Hill, you are joking, how would I know? I have only heard this term from Jin's mouth."

Regarding Pariston's misunderstanding, Celluloid neither wanted to explain or clarify, nor did she intend to admit it. Anyway, in one sentence, love thinks whatever she wants, true or false, false or true, which can conceal her true secret. Just fine.

Pariston: "Mr. Jin? I heard that he has been exploring the Dark Continent for more than a year. It is understandable that Little Miss Celluloid knew about it, but this does not explain your power, Little Miss Celluloid." Bar."

"There's no way to explain it. It just suddenly appeared on me one day." This is the truth. As for whether Pariston would associate it with other places in this context, Celluloid is not responsible.

Pariston asked with a smile. "Really? If that's the case, isn't Miss Celluloid curious about it? Don't you want to know why she is like this? After all, the unknown is always worthy of doubt and fear."

Cellululu wanted to say casually that she just didn't want to know, so what, but if she continued to press, she didn't know how to act ambiguously.

Pariston continued. "By the way, I actually did a background check. After all, I have to know a little bit about each hunter's past experience. The oldest record of Miss Celluloid's life that I can find so far is from Si Lu, which is near the two-level deep sea. Kari, before this, there was no trace at all, as if Miss Celluloid appeared out of thin air. I had never suspected the Dark Continent before, so I always thought you came from Meteor Street, but Now that we think about Skari’s geographical location, it actually makes sense to say that we came from the Dark Continent and landed in Skarry.”

Cellululu was helpless. Pariston tried desperately to connect her with the Dark Continent, but she really didn’t know what the Dark Continent was like. Maybe there would always be a chance to go to the Space Repulsion in the future, but now, forgive her for making up. Don't come out. Pariston is obviously a person with extremely careful observation and strong reasoning ability. If you lie in front of him, wouldn't you be seeking death?

"I really can't answer any of your questions. Maybe you can talk to Jin." Sai Lulu could only shake her head a hundred times and didn't know.

Pariston didn't force Celluloid anymore. There were plenty of opportunities anyway, but since the girl might have something to do with the Dark Continent, maybe he could let her know something. Pariston unconsciously glanced at the "key" pressed on his desk. 'Report.

"Little Miss Celluloid denies so persistently, I can only think that the time has not come yet. I hope to hear the hidden truth from you one day. I wonder if Little Miss Celluloid knows? The key that terrorists have been searching for. In fact, it is related to the Dark Continent, and the inside story behind the Zarut incident also points to the Dark Continent."

"What?" Cellululu was really surprised.

The author has something to say: Things at home have really distracted me recently and I have no time to write. Today is Christmas. I will update the previous chapter first. I will probably add more content later. Leave a message and I will reply later. I wish you all a Merry Christmas. !
