Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Chapter 103: Journey to Another World: Prison Stars and Clouds (16)

The evidence of the Rose Alliance's crimes brought by Chrollo caused quite a stir in the upper layers of Carter. After the initial consternation, as Cellulu had expected, Carter was very concerned about the material benefits that this evidence would bring, and Carter showed great enthusiasm for the rise in the status of the council. After closely monitoring Grant and carefully placing Morris, Carter began to actively prepare for the next matter. At the same time Liaise with major organizations and prepare to hold an interim council.

And as Chrollo's direct boss, Jones is even more cheerful and happy. Chrollo's credit is his credit. If this incident goes well, it will completely establish his first-person status in Carter. Jones was very proud of seeing talents with discerning eyes. Of course, in order to win over and show fairness at the same time, Jones immediately proposed to promote Culolo as a high-ranking cadre as a recognition. Days later, Krollo accepted a new appointment and officially became the sixth senior cadre of Carter, and got an independent mansion on the twelfth floor of the center as his office and rest place, in order to show his sincerity. , To celebrate, after Jones took office in Chrollo, he immediately sent out the management rights and all the personnel of the two cities. At the same time, he sent several middle-level cadres to assist and enrich Chrollo's personal camp.

In this regard, Chrollo naturally declined respectfully on the surface. The two sides were hypocritical and detoured, and Chrollo pretended to be humble and polite to accept it. For Jones, he also euphemistically expressed that he will still follow Jones's lead in the future. The unified camp, on the surface, both sides are very happy, it seems that they are happy. As for the middle-level cadres who seem to be helping, but in fact are more or less restraining and monitoring, Chrollo didn't bother at all, and gave an order to let them do their own thing as usual, but changed the object of regular reporting to him. After that, he let it go. However, as for the confidants, Chrollo resolutely rejected the 'good intentions' of other senior cadres including Jones, and only proposed to transfer Feitan, Knight and Illumi to himself. around.

The new mansion, Chrollo's office, behind the large writing desk, Chrollo folded his hands and sat on the comfortable leather chair. On the large sofa in front of him, three people were sitting loosely. It was today. The reported knight, Feitan and Illumi.

"Well~, not bad, the environment is much better now, and there are still a lot of people under my command, so I don't need to always go to battle in person and run around."

Looking around, the knight's hand rested on the back of the sofa, and said in a good mood, Chrollo rose, and he followed the rise and was promoted to a middle-level cadre, responsible for Chrollo's intelligence department, in Laiku Before Luo Luo's office, he had just seen his future workplace, a large computer room with complete equipment and a new style, with a research room attached.

"Boring, what senior cadre, independent mansion, are you serious? Knight, I never knew you would be satisfied by this kind of thing."

Feitan cleared his throat and raised his bar habitually. Like the knight, he is also a middle-level cadre, responsible for the execution of Chrollo's subordinates.

"Anyway, before you leave, there's nothing wrong with making yourself comfortable, and you don't want to be pressed on your head by irrelevant people all the time."

The knight shrugged nonchalantly and retorted casually.

"Hmph, who dares to order me!"

Feitan's expression was fierce.

"Yeah, I didn't dare to order you directly, but it's not the same through the head of the regiment. At least now, there will be no orders that are not of the head's own will, right?"

The knight rolled his eyes unbearably. Feitan's evil personality and behavior made many people avoid him, and they were reluctant to contact him directly. If something happened, he naturally had to go to the more normal-looking and talkative Chrollo. .

Hearing this, Feitan fell silent.

Seeing that the knight and Feitan were just chatting, Illumi turned his attention to Chrollo and took the lead in getting to the point.

"Crollo, do you have any news from anyone else?"

Illumi has been handing over and dealing with some trivial affairs for the past two days. As a newcomer to Carter, he is now without an official position. He is just a close follower and follows Chrollo. Now the mess is temporarily stopped. Now, he also has time to care about this issue that is more important to them.

"Hisso's news has gotten a lot of attention. If there is no accident, he will come to see us by himself, but Jin's words are still clueless. That man has always been good at hiding. If he wants to keep people from finding out, who will I don't know where he will be, and now I don't know where he is hiding."

Chrollo replied, when it comes to Jin, it is rare that he has a helpless and headache expression on his face. Those who know Jin are a little bit insensitive to his greatest 'hobby'.

"Well, isn't it? Then what happened to Hisoka?"

Illumi and Jin were not familiar with each other, so with a slight forehead, he accepted the fact that the other party was still missing, but he was a little curious about the first half of Chrollo's sentence.

The knight took it up 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 the strong. Wherever there is a strong person, he will send a duel request. There are many organizations there. Famous people were killed by that man."

"It does look like Hisoka's way of doing things."

Just listening to this sentence, Illumi can fully confirm the identity of the other party, it is too obvious.

"Yeah, the testimony I collected also said that the other party was a tall, red-haired man. Nine times out of ten, the last information I found pointed out that Claire of Fimmel had been in contact with Hisoka, and that's right. If so, Claire should lead to misfortune, let's borrow a knife to kill, so we just need to wait and see."

The knight nodded in agreement, continued speaking, and finally gave Feitan a playful look.

"That useless waste, only this kind of unpopular means."

Feitan snorted coldly. In the past month, he has been threatened with assassination from time to time. Although he is just a little mouse, the inexplicable targeting still made him unhappy. After checking, he found out that it was Claire. He was entrusted, because he was lazy and ran again, these threats were nothing, and Feitan just let him go. I didn't expect that man to be so wicked.

Illumi glanced at Feitan in bewilderment, not knowing what the connection was, but anyway, since Hisoka would take a photo of it himself, there is no need to know the extras.

"Anyway, in short, now there is no news about Jin Fulixi, why is there no sign at all?"

The knight's brows furrowed, and he complained inexplicably.

"I will send more people to search, chivalrous man, you should work harder."

Chrollo heard the words and said, soothing his frizzy subordinates.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and after Chrollo called to come in, a middle-aged man walked in. When he saw Chrollo, he saluted slightly, and then handed it over to him. report, respectfully reported.

"Mr. Rusilu, the materials distributed this month have been shipped to the warehouse. This is the list, please check it out."

"I see, I will make arrangements later, you go down first."

After taking it, Chrollo turned slightly, glanced roughly, put down the report in his hand, and nodded to the man in front of him.

The substances in Niflheim are replenished and exchanged every two months. The council will come forward and contact the management agency stationed in outer space - the Heimdall Fortress garrison at the Rainbow Bridge. After internal coordination, they will be released. In other regions and organizations, of course, because of their great power, most of the good materials are monopolized and controlled by the council member organizations every time.

After Carter gets the supplies, he will distribute them equally to several senior cadres, and then select and distribute them from high to low according to their status and authority. In the past, Chrollo received it from Jones, but now he is also a senior If he is a cadre, the share that belongs to him will be sent directly to him, and then Chrollo will assign it to his subordinates.

After a few more conversations, Feitan and Ilumi had something to do, so they left, and the knight was about to leave.

"Knight, the inventory of the materials in the warehouse will be handed over to you."

"no problem."

With a gesture of ok, the knight took the list and left Chrollo's office.

——————————————

In the warehouse, the materials distributed to Chrollo filled the entire room. The knight found a few people and directed them to check and inventory the materials according to the list. The work was proceeding in an orderly manner, while the knight looked east and west. Take a look and see if there is anything that fits your heart, and you can take it back in your subsequent selections.

"Huh? How could it be Gardenia?"

A strange voice, filled with doubts, rang in the knight's ear. He heard the sound and walked over, looking at the young man in front of him and asking.

"What's wrong?

"Mr. Knight, it's like this, the list says that four boxes of flowers, a box of roses, a box of lilies, a box of fulangs, and a box of gladiolus were sent, but I just opened it and found It's actually 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 knew the knight.

"It turns out to be like this. If it's wrong, it's wrong. Anyway, it's all flowers. There's no difference. You just need to revise the list and report it."

Hearing that it was such a trivial matter, the knight glanced at the box and gave instructions casually,

"Yes."

The young man replied loudly, and only mumbled lowly after the knight turned around.

"It's really bad luck, it's actually a gardenia, so it can only be thrown away."

Hearing this sentence, the knight who had no feeling at first, heard the words, stopped, turned around, and asked with a little interest.

"What happened to the gardenia?"

"Because there is a proverb circulating in Niflheim that is not an old saying, 'the smell of gardenia is the smell of blood', and the place with gardenia will bring ominous and **** disaster, so always look at it. When you come to Gardenia, you will think that you will be unlucky, so gardenias are generally not sent to Niflheim from the outside world."

The smiling knight is quite popular in Carterto, so even if he is promoted to a middle-level cadre, the people below do not have a deep sense of awe. Therefore, this young man named Ed, after being slightly strange, is only in detail. replied.

"Oh? It's funny, is there still such a superstition here? I thought people who were struggling with death didn't have so much leisure to come up with superstitions."

The knight smiled, and when he said this, he was a little sarcastic, and the smile on his face was also a little sarcastic.

"This, now it's become a superstition, 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 in the past so long, but, for Gardenia's disgust and dislike have stayed, most of the prisoners who came here for the first time don't know what's going on, but it's always right to avoid it."

Ed didn't know much, but he still rudely said the origin, paused, and 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 those fresh green branches and white flowers, the nose was filled with a fragrant and sweet fragrance. For some reason, the knight suddenly flashed in front of the knight a girl holding a flower branch, smiling and playing with the flowers. His heart moved, and he blurted out to stop.

"Well, it's a pity to lose it, I'll take it back."

"Huh? Mr. Knight, do you want to take it back? Are you sending a woman?"

Ed looked at the knight in surprise, then looked at the flowers again, hesitated, and asked, seeing the knight nodding, he immediately persuaded enthusiastically.

"Women will be more concerned about that kind of legend. If you really want to give it away, it's better to have roses and lilies here."

"It's just a nonsense superstition, she shouldn't care."

The knight didn't take it to heart at all. Seeing what the other party said, Ed didn't say anything anymore. He put down the box and went to check other items.

The knight arranged the flowers a little and made them into a beautiful shape. Sure enough, the delicate and fragrant white flowers were more suitable for the feeling of celluloid than the rich and gorgeous flowers. The knight looked at it with satisfaction. Thinking about the giant bouquet in his hand.

After the inventory work was over, the knight skipped work early, rushed home with the bouquet in his hand, and opened the door. After seeing the girl sitting on the sofa reading a book, he put his hand holding the bouquet behind his back. Approaching her with a smile.

The girl seemed to hear his movement, turned her head and stood up with a smile, but before she spoke, her face suddenly changed slightly, she covered her nose with her hands, and took a step back.

"Knight, what are you holding in your hand? What does that smell? Is it gardenia?"

The knight was stunned for a moment, his hand stretched out from behind, and a large bouquet of gardenias suddenly appeared in front of Cellulu.

"It's Gardenia, I wanted to give it to you, but you don't seem to like it?"

"Knight, thank you for sending me flowers, but I don't like the smell very much. I'm really sorry. It's rare for you to send me flowers."

The girl still put her hand on her nose, but she smiled, because her eyes were slightly bent into a half-moon shape, she seemed a little happy, but after seeing the gardenia, she disappeared again, and took a step back, the girl. Explained apologetically.

The knight is a little depressed, although Cellulu seems to be very happy that he sent flowers, but unfortunately he didn't choose the right flowers. He looked at the bouquet in his hand regretfully. He thought Cellulo would like it, but he could only pretend that he didn't mind. grinned.

"Really? I didn't ask you if you like this kind of flower. The smell is quite strong. Since you don't like it, I'll throw it out."

The knight turned around, but in the next second, an inaudible babble brushed in his ear, faintly, as if being pressed into an unfathomable seabed.

"The smell of gardenia 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 upturned, and her eyes were slightly curved because of the smile, but she didn't know where she was looking. It was supposed to be a sweet smile, but , but his eyes are very strange, like very calm, but also very crazy, but the combined look only gives people a strange trance feeling, the knight blinked and looked intently, but where did he have the look just now, The girl still had a normal face, as if it was just his illusion. She paused and pressed her doubts to the bottom of her heart. The knight held the bouquet and walked out.

In the evening, the remaining three people came back. Ilumi and Feitan didn't know about the bouquet incident. Only Chrollo, after walking around, looked at the knight and asked with a half-smile.

"I don't seem to see the bouquet you sent."

"Captain, don't mention that again."

Without asking why Chrollo knew, the knight just replied listlessly.

"She doesn't like it? Do women really care more about this kind of thing?"

Chrollo raised an eyebrow.

It should be more than that. Thinking of that strange expression, the knight thought silently in his heart.

———————————————————————————

Hearing the sound of the doorbell ringing, Cellulu stopped what she was doing and went to open the door a little strangely. The temporary council called by Carter had already started. For this meeting, Chrollo and the others followed the other senior officials. , have already taken the airship to the headquarters building of the council, leaving only the knight in Carter, but he basically stays in the mansion on the 12th floor during the day. Who will it be, choose this time to come visit? While guessing, Cellulu opened the door. Outside the door, it was a young girl whom she knew. It was just a surprise that Cellulu smiled and greeted.

"Miss Mila, hello, long time no see."

"It's been a long time indeed, Cellulu, I came to see you a few times before, but Chrollo said that you had something to do. I heard that you are back in the past few days, so I came to see you, why, please don't ask me Am I going in?"

Mila let out a coquettish smile, and said generously, and at the end, she winked playfully at Cellulu.

There was a subtle change in Mila's attitude. The malicious aura that had clearly shown on her body before seemed to have disappeared, although it was still very fake, which made Cellulu secretly surprised, but she was politely inviting someone. Come in.

"How come, please come in, Miss Mira."

Because I didn't know the other party's intention, after a few words of greetings, coffee, and greeting the other party to sit down on the sofa, Cellulu just silently stirred the coffee cup in front of her, but Mila looked around for a while, then smiled. opened his mouth.

"This house is really clean. When I first came in, I thought I went through the wrong door. The last time I came here, it was no different from a junkyard. Cellulu must have been working hard. I just need to serve Feitan well. Well, now there are two more people to take care of, and Chrollo is true. I said, there are so many houses, why do you have to live together? Now look, he treats you for something. "

Mila's face was a little indignant and sympathetic, and she seemed to be holding grievances for Celluloid. Even if Feitan was mentioned, there was no unpleasant pertinence. However, as for Chrollo, she obviously put it into her own scope. Inside and outside, there is a feeling of rejection of 'how embarrassed to trouble outsiders'.

"Fortunately, thanks to Mr. Chrollo's care, it should be done. Besides, Mr. Chrollo and the knight are not unreasonable people, so there is no difficulty."

This reaction made Cellulu also relieved. She didn't want to create unnecessary hostility for Chrollo. Her attitude towards Chrollo and the knight in her words was more than polite, but not intimate enough.

"Really? Find an opportunity in the future, let me mention it, and let you and Feitan move out."

Mila seemed quite satisfied with Cellulu's literacy, smiled, and gave a casual assurance, paused, and then said her intentions.

"Let's not talk about that. I'm here today because I'm going to hold a casual party the day after tomorrow, and I'm here to invite you to join us."

"Party?"

Cellulu blinked, looked at Mila and asked back.

"Yeah, I hold a casual party like this every month, to get together, and I invite girls of the same age. They are all family members of high-level members in Carter's picture, Celluloid, You have been with us for so long, and you have never shown your face in public. Many of my friends are very curious about you. After all, you are a Feitan woman. How about it? Take this opportunity to communicate with each other. Knowing each other, you are always bored at home, but you are not very gregarious."

Mira explained cheerfully,

"this••"

Celluloid was still hesitating.

"I sincerely invite you, you won't be so disrespectful, you're still afraid that I won't eat you."

Without waiting for Cellulo to find an excuse, Mila immediately blocked her words.

"In that case, thank Miss Mila for the invitation, I will go."

The other party looked upright and upright, but he seemed to be a little arrogant. Seeing this, Cellulu could only agree with a smile.

"It's settled, I'll send a car to pick you up the day after tomorrow."

Mila smiled sweetly, explained something, and got up to leave.

I thought it would be updated soon, but it turned out to be a monthly update. I'm sorry, in order to compensate, I will send a double update today. Although this plot development seems to me, it should actually be the content of one chapter, but unfortunately the number of words is two chapters. to support.

A picture of gardenia

The flower language of gardenia: joy. If you like this flower, you have a heart of gratitude, and treat people with sincerity. As long as others are a little kind to you, you will thank them with your heart. This is because you have a pure heart and do not understand the sinister nature of human beings, and your sincerity makes you always happy, and forgiveness fills you with joy.

The description in the first half is very similar to Celluloid's.
