Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Celluloid patrols the subway station and various exits, always paying attention to those who seem to need help, and after each subway entry, she cooperates with the subway staff to evacuate people and maintain order.

It was already 6:30 in the evening, it was the rush hour, and there were quite a lot of people in the subway. Cellulu suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a commotion in front of a row of automatic ticket machines. She hurried over there and found that an old man was hesitating in front of the ticket machine. He seemed to have hesitated for a while. They were constantly complaining.

Cellulo immediately understood that the old man should be stumped by the ticket machine. Many old people don't know how the fare is calculated, so they often don't know how much to buy. Seeing this scene, Cellulu walked directly to the other side and asked with a smile:

"Hello, do you need any help?"

"Oh~ Miss staff, you came just right, I want to go to the western suburbs, but there are several routes from here to there, and the fares are messy, I can't figure it out after watching it for a long time. Really! This It’s too complicated, if I knew it earlier, it’s better to run over and forget it, I guess it’s already here.”

The old man had his back on his back, and when he heard Celluloid's question, he turned around and saw that it was a staff member, and immediately complained angrily. When she said the last two sentences, she muttered in a low voice, and Cellulu couldn't hear it for a while.

The old man in front of him has white hair that stands up, his eyes are sharp, and there are two long beards on his lips. Although he is already a handful of years old, he still looks energetic. What Lulu noticed was the characters hanging on the front of the opponent's chest, which read "one kill a day".

When studying the characters and customs of this world, Celluloid discovered that there are characters similar to Chinese in this world, and the meanings of the expressions are also similar to Chinese, but they were written in a small country a long time ago, and they are only surviving now. There are very few characters, and almost no one knows, but the old man in front of him has such a pair of characters on his body. Are you an admirer of this kind of characters? However, does the old man really know what those four words mean? If you know what it really means, you won't be surprised, Cellulu thought amusingly.

Celluloid has never had a lot of doubts about why there is Chinese in this world. There are many coincidences in parallel spaces in the universe, and many worlds that I have visited before will also have places with similar cultures. In addition to Chinese, Celluloid has also found many things similar to her hometown in this world, but even if they are similar, there will be subtle differences in the end. It can only be said that this is a world that highly overlaps with her hometown, but for this, Cellulo is quite happy, and places similar to her hometown are always more nostalgic.

Hearing the old man's complaint, Cellulu smiled and explained politely: "Cohen's subway system is very developed, so there are many routes to choose from. Choosing different routes, the price calculation method is also different. It is indeed a lot of money. It's nerve-racking. If the old gentleman wants to go to the western suburbs, there are four lines going through here, and two of them need to be changed. I don't know where this old gentleman is going near the western suburbs?"

"Oh, what I want to go to is ——————", the old man twitched his beard and reported where he wanted to go.

Dutifully, according to the old man's request, Cellulu made a most reasonable and cost-effective route for him. After buying a ticket for the old man, in order to prevent the other party from getting lost, Cellulu decided to send him to the target station. The old man did not refuse, probably because he was afraid of the maze-like subway station.

Walking on the road, Cellulu asked worriedly: "Old sir, are you alone? Are your family members not with you? It's very dangerous, and it's easy to get lost."

"What are you talking about! Miss, I'm not a child. Of course it's fine to come out alone. Why do I need my family to accompany me? However, one of my grandsons came with me." The old man said to Cellulu in disapproval. , then as if thinking of something, he stroked his beard and smiled.

"Really? Sigh? Since you came with your grandson, why aren't you with your grandson, old man? Could it be that you are separated from him? If that's the case, let's not go to the station. I'll go to the station first. I'll send you to the radio studio to broadcast and let your grandson pick you up, and then go to the western suburbs where you're going."

Knowing that some old people are more dissatisfied with the old age, Cellulu is no longer holding on to this topic, but when she heard that he came with her grandson and is not around now, Cellulu was taken aback, it would not be the old gentleman who left Forget it, the old man usually has a bad memory, and sometimes he doesn't know what he is doing, so Cellulu glanced at the old gentleman in front of him and suggested.

"What did this lady say? My grandson and I are going to different places. Naturally, we are not together, and I am not lost." Seemingly annoyed by Cellulu's obvious worry, the old man was a little unhappy, with a serious expression. She looked at Celluloid sharply.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood, I'm sorry!" Seeing that the old man in front of him did not look like he was lost, Cellulu immediately apologized earnestly. Although it was out of concern, she thought the normal behavior of a normal old man was considered It was a confusion. This was a sign of extreme disrespect for the other party. No wonder the old man was angry.

"Well, it's okay, hehe, you're a warm-hearted lady. Young people nowadays rarely have someone as polite and warm-hearted as you, but in the future, you should pay attention to the occasion and don't use your concern in the wrong place." The old man looked at Cellul Lu solemnly apologized, her expression relaxed, and she nodded approvingly.

"Yes, I will pay attention." Cellulu nodded quickly. During the conversation, he arrived at the station and watched the old man get into the car. Cellulu continued to patrol the subway entrances.

With a few minutes to go before get off work, Celluloid decided to walk back to the office while patrolling.

Suddenly a childish voice behind her stopped her,

"Hey, the eldest sister in front, do you know which exit is the closest to Phyllis Manor?"

Cellulu turned her head and saw that it was a very cute little boy who had stopped her. She was only eight or nine years old, with white fluffy hair, dressed in a cool dress, with her hands in her pockets, and her posture was arrogant. Standing there, the big cat's eyes were staring at her now.

He's a cute but stinky little brat, Cellulu thought with a smile. She didn't know why, but when she saw this boy, she liked it from the bottom of her heart, but when she heard the little boy's question just now, Cellulu was a little surprised. Confuse.

"Ah? Did you say it's Phyllis Manor? But this is Central Plaza Station. If Phyllis Manor is supposed to be at South Central Station, right?"

"Ah? How could it be? Isn't this South Central Station? I asked, but did I take the wrong train? Damn it, really, what the **** is the subway!"

After the white-haired child heard about it, the originally big and round cat's eyes suddenly opened wider, with a puffed face and an unhappy look on his face, complaining childishly, he raised his head and looked at Celluloid, honestly and rudely. asked:

"Then, this eldest sister, what line should I take to get to South Central Station?"

"There are a few lines that can be crossed, but~~~" Cellulu looked at the little boy in front of her, then looked left and right, and found that there seemed to be no adults following her. She looked at the little boy in front of her worriedly, hesitating. asked:

"This kid, are you alone? Where are your parents? Aren't you by your side? Did you get lost with the adults?" Although it was said just now that care should be used in the right situation, the sight in front of you The child is alone, and there is no one around to accompany him. No matter how you look at it, it is a worrying situation.

"Sister, I didn't get separated from the adults. I was originally alone. You just need to tell me how to get to the South Central Station." The little boy said impatiently, urging Cellulu.

"However, it's very dangerous for a child like you to be outside alone. How can adults let you come out alone, and no one will follow you?" Cellulu was still worried and did not answer the child's question. Just asked stubbornly.

"Hey~~? Yes, grandpa came with me, but he's going to a different place than me, so I'll go by myself." Seeing that Cellulu refused to say, the child looked helpless , and suddenly seemed to know the reason why Celluloid refused to explain.

"Haha, eldest sister, is it possible that you are worried about me? Don't worry, no one dares to challenge me, I'm strong and feel at ease, so hurry up and tell me how to get to South Central Station." At the end At the same time, a confident but dangerous smile appeared on his face.

Seeing that smile, Cellulu suddenly froze for a moment. The child gave her an inexplicable familiar feeling, but this time there was an inexplicable joy in her heart, which made her want to smile involuntarily. , But after thinking about it carefully, I don't know where this feeling came from. The memory is still as close as the moon in the mirror, but out of reach.

Cellulu tapped her head. She had had such a strange déjà vu reaction several times, but this time it was especially serious. She couldn't help but want to get close to the child. The words seemed quite familiar, as if she had heard a similar statement not long ago, and looking at the child's self-confidence, Cellulu suddenly remembered the old gentleman she met just now, and the situation seemed to fit, she hesitated. asked out loud:

"Children, shouldn't the grandfather you're talking about have long white standing hair, two long tufts of beard, and a character on his chest?"

"Hey, have you met my grandfather?" Hearing the other party describe his grandfather exactly, the white-haired child immediately put away his inattentiveness, widened his eyes in surprise, and looked at Cellul in surprise. Lu.

really! A drop of sweat fell on Cellulu's head, and she met her grandson and grandson, and they all had similar personalities. Should it be said that they are really a family? The child in front of me also looks like you underestimate me and don't have to worry about him at all.

Hey, rubbing her temples, Cellulu still smiled and explained to the child in front of her.

"Well, I also pointed the way for your grandfather just now. He also said that he came out with his grandson, but the direction was different, so I remembered it as soon as you said it."

"Hey? It turns out that Grandpa doesn't know what car to take. Is it the way you pointed out, eldest sister? Hehe, I must laugh at him when I go back."

Hearing what Cellulu said, the child suddenly laughed like a treacherous kitten, covered his mouth, his eyes were squinted, and he kept laughing there.

Seeing the child's thief expression, she seemed quite happy, the corners of Cellulu's mouth moved up unconsciously, but the next second when she thought of the grandparents, she dropped her mouth, shook her head and sighed.

The two grandparents, the old and the young, don't know what their family thinks, so let them out alone, not afraid of getting lost or running into danger, but both of them are stubborn Very, I don't think I need to be worried at all.

However, Celluloid finally pointed out the nearest route for the child, bought a new ticket for him, and put him in the car.

Before the child entered the car door, he turned his head and smiled at her, waved his hand in a smart manner, and said thank you before jumping into the car. Cellulu also smiled and raised her hand to watch him get in the car, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart. She, for the first time, had the idea of ​​not knowing whether to see him again.

---------------------------------------

The days continued to pass smoothly, and she got along very well with Lillian and gradually became accustomed to the city of Cohen. The days that should have been peaceful were overshadowed by the unpleasant premonition that had surfaced when seeing Lillian in recent days.

The premonition was so vague and fleeting, Cellulu felt it for a few days, but she couldn't see the specific situation. I know, and I don't know what will happen in the end.

After several days like this, Cellulu lost her temper. She looked at Lillian, not knowing how to explain this unpleasant premonition in her heart, and finally decided to take a side view:

"Lillian, how are you feeling lately? Is there anything wrong?"

"Well? No, it's just that my stomach is not very good recently, and I always run to the toilet." Lillian smiled embarrassedly,

"Ah! Then do you want to go to the hospital to have a look, have an examination or something." When Cellulu heard this, she immediately suggested cautiously.

"Huh? No need for such a minor illness, it's just stomach discomfort." Lillian hesitated for a while, and decided to let it go.

"It won't take much time to take a look. It's always a headache if you have stomach discomfort." Cellulu patiently persuaded Lillian to go to the hospital for a detailed examination. Great way to make things worse.

"Well~~Since you said so, I'll go take a look tomorrow!" Seeing that Cellulu cared so much about her body, Lillian was also very happy. After thinking about it, she decided to follow Cellulu's suggestion and have a look. Anyway, no trouble.

The next day, as soon as Cellulu came back from get off work, she eagerly asked Lillian about the results of the test. The answer she got was that she would have to do another test. Cellullu was a little worried, because her premonition was too vague, so what would happen? In this way, she was completely clueless. Seeing the worried look of Cellulu, Lillian didn't care much, and in turn reassured Cellulu that she didn't need to worry about her.

Afterwards, Lillian did one or two more tests, and the report would come out in a week, and Cellulu waited anxiously for the results.

-------------------------------------------------------

Lillian should be able to get the examination report from the hospital today, so after work, Cellulu hurried home. She wanted to know if Lillian was all right as soon as possible.

From a distance, I can see that the lights on the other side of the house are dim. Could it be that Lillian hasn't come back yet? Does it take that long to get results? Confused, Cellulu held the key to open the door while thinking, planning to make dinner first, and then wait for Lillian to come back.

As soon as she entered, she saw that a person was sitting in the dark living room. Cellulu was startled, but when she looked carefully, it was Lilian, who was sitting on the carpet with a pale face.

Cellulu was startled, "Lilian, what's wrong with you, why are you sitting here without the lights on? Could it be that~~~~~~ is the result bad?" Cool, hesitantly asked the exit.

"Celullo, the doctor said that a tumor was found in my intestine. It's malignant. I have bowel cancer! But the doctor also said that because it was found early, it can be cured as long as the operation is performed early." Lillian looked numb. As he spoke, his eyes were dazed and out of focus.

"Ah!" When she heard Lillian say that she had bowel cancer, her heart jumped, and she didn't know what to say for a while. She didn't think it was cancer, but when she heard Lillian say that she only needed surgery When she was able to recover, Cellulu could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that the result of her premonition was not very bad. She said happily:

"Since it can be cured, then you don't have to worry. Fortunately, it was discovered early. The doctor also said that as long as the operation can restore health, you don't have to worry, hurry up and prepare, it is not better to go to the hospital for the operation earlier. Is it?" Since it was a curable disease, Cellulu didn't understand why Lilian was still in a bad mood, so she sat in the living room in a daze.

"Yes, this disease can be cured, but it is impossible for me." Lillian replied bitterly, still extremely depressed.

"Why do you say that?" Cellulo looked at Lillian nervously and worriedly. I don't understand why she is so negative.

"The doctor said that the pre-examination and surgery, as well as some post-operative reconstruction, will cost more than 50,000,000,000,000,000! Hehehe~~ Where did I get so much money? The thrifty savings add up to only less than two million. Even if I don't eat or drink for another ten years, I may not be able to make up the money. But where will I get those ten years, the doctor said that if I don't If the surgery is just conservative treatment, at most one year I will be ——————”

Lillian smiled nervously, and said with a sad face, saying that in the end, she was already desperate. Although the doctor said that it can be cured, if there is no money for surgery, it is no different from being sentenced to death.

"How could it be!" Cellulu never thought that such a problem would arise, and stared at Lilian in a daze, feeling a little overwhelmed all of a sudden.

Lillian just wanted to find someone to vent her emotions. She had already pushed herself to the limit. Ignoring Cellulu's words, she continued:

"When I got home from the hospital, I kept thinking about this, I'm not reconciled, Cellulu, obviously I can live, obviously it's a cured disease, but because I don't have money, I'm going to die like this Is it? Is this the end of my dream? I'm not reconciled, Cellulu, I'm really not reconciled! I'm not reconciled~~~ woo woo~~~~~~~~~"

Lillian, who has always been gentle and docile, and Lillian, who has always spoken softly, is now shouting hoarsely. Finally, she finally covers her face as if she can't control it and burst into tears. Her emotions have completely collapsed.

Cellulo looked at Lillian, and her heart was also full of sadness. The world is inherently unfair, and Celluloid knows this very well, so there will be people who don't care about the fifty million or so, and there will be people like Lillian who may not be able to earn more than fifty million in her lifetime. Although it is only about money, it can really force people to death. Lillian, who is gentle on the surface but actually stronger than anyone else, can only cry in despair in the face of this almost unattainable amount.

Silently hugging Lilian, Cellulu knew that Lilian needed to vent. She didn't know what to say for a while. If she didn't have money, what she said now would be useless, and any comfort would be useless.

Cellulu patted Lillian lightly, thinking, although this matter seems to be a dead end, it is not that there is no room for turning around.
