Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Chapter 28: Two people's long flowing water (2)

On the first day of resumption of work, Cellulu fed the chivalrous guest at noon. After cleaning up for him, she entered the room with a large glass kettle and a plate of food, and put them all on the bedside table. Cellulu turned her head and told the knight with a smile:

"Knight, I'm going to work from today. It might be a little inconvenient for you to be at home alone. My work time ends later. If you wait for me to come back and feed you, I think you'll be very hungry, so I'll give you these things. To quench your thirst."

The knight stared blankly at the plate on the bedside table. There were several kinds of cakes and three or four kinds of fruits in it. Cellulu even carefully peeled the fruits, cut them into small pieces, and had toothpicks stuck on them.

Are these all specially prepared for him considering his inconvenience and fear that he will be thirsty and hungry? Thinking of this, an unfamiliar feeling surged up in the knight's heart. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. The emotions that filled his chest were not even clear to him, he just murmured. Subconsciously replied:

"Ah~~, you really bothered, thank you."

"It's okay, you're welcome,"

Celluloid replied with a smile, and then suddenly tapped her hand,

"Ah, by the way, there is one more thing I haven't brought in. Wait a minute."

After speaking, she hurried out of the room, and when she came back, she had a pair of crutches in her hand. She leaned the crutch against the bed, looked at the knight and added:

"Knight, if you want to go to the toilet, use this crutch. This will make it easier to move around."

"kindness,"

Looking at the crutches, the knight replied softly, his mind still caught in the inexplicable touch just now.

Seeing that she was almost ready, Cellulu was about to leave. After noticing the computer beside the knight, she immediately persuaded earnestly,

"Also, although I'm not at home and can't supervise you, you shouldn't be looking at the computer all the time. Your body needs more rest, so you need to sleep more so that you can recover faster."

Originally, the knight was still in a trance for the girl's concern. Hearing Cellulu's words, a bunch of black lines appeared on his head. He was persuaded by a girl much younger than himself, like a mother teaching a child. Strange, so he could only laugh and cry helplessly looking at Celluloid, defending himself.

"I see, no, you don't think of me as an ignorant child, okay? I'm older than you anyway."

"Because you don't always listen!"

Cellulu retorted with a face of course, since she took out the computer because she wanted to check the address, the knight held the computer almost every day without letting go. Several times, Cellulu forced the computer away and forced the other party to rest. Now that she is not at home, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not take her words seriously. Thinking of this, Cellulu reminds again uneasy:

"Anyway, the body is your own, you have to control yourself a little bit,"

"Hey~"

The knight was about to protest, but was interrupted by a big wave from Cellulu.

"Okay, I won't talk about the extra. It's almost time, I should go too, you should be careful at home, I'm leaving, see you at night!"

Ignoring the knight's expression of wanting to continue to refute, Cellulu looked down at her watch and prepared to leave the room.

Seeing this, the knight could only hold back that funny and angry feeling, and bid farewell to Cellulu with a smile.

"Ah, well, see you tonight."

Hearing the sound of Celluloid closing the door and leaving, the knight was lying on the bed in a daze, and his mind was filled with images of Celluloid taking care of him gently and considerately. These days, he could feel his heart constantly being impacted. It's just out of interest that the spirit of inquiry is gradually fading, but another kind of unfamiliar feeling is gradually rising, wanting to know more about her, hoping to know her better and get closer to her, and now he even feels that he is taking advantage of the other party. The behavior of not searching the room is not good, it seems that it will hurt her, do you feel shaken? The knight asked himself.

No, even if it is shaken, so what, it doesn't prevent him from finding out the secret of Celluloid, does it? The knight smiled, a little funny because he was inexplicably serious just now, two things that are completely unrelated, aren't they?

Throwing away the senseless emotions just now, the knight listened to the movement outside, and found that there seemed to be no sound, and there was no celluloid in the air. After he got up and got out of bed, he stumbled involuntarily. , without Cellullu's support, he was a bit reluctant to walk on his own. Although he deliberately pretended to be weak in front of her, his injuries were indeed serious, so his trembling walking was not entirely a show. Picking up the crutches at the head of the bed, the knight walked to the door with difficulty and pushed open the door.

Outside the room is the living room. At first glance, the knight has only one feeling. It is simple. There is only a sofa and a coffee table in the living room. The smell of loneliness.

Seeing this scene, the knight is a little surprised. Cellulu has always felt to him as a warm, careful and soft person, so the living room should also be very warm in his imagination, just like those of the women he used to have. Just like home, even a girl who is neat and tidy always has some cute or warm decorations in the home. The knight remembers that the living room of a woman's house in his once was full of cushions, throw pillows, plush toys and various delicate items. gadgets, the home is also decorated with photos.

But there is nothing in this living room, no throw pillows on the sofa, no decorations on the coffee table, no photos, and even some women have no newspapers, advertisements, and bowls stacked everywhere because of their sloppy looks.

Perhaps the only lively ones in the room were the blooming flowers. The knight remembered that there were also beautiful flowers in his room. Celluloid would change a new batch every three days. The knight scanned the room. The only thing that makes people feel alive, there are three large flower arrangements in the living room. The utensils for flower arrangements are all placed directly on the ground. A kind of unrestrained and warm beauty, which is in sharp contrast with the empty and lonely room, but the more it is like this, the more it feels that this room is dead and disharmonious like an empty house. The knight frowned, a little uncomfortable with such a atmosphere.

He looked around and found that there were two other rooms next to the living room. Moving his steps, the knight pushed open one of the rooms. The rooms inside were very large, and various things were placed in an orderly manner. At first glance, the most eye-catching The one was a piano placed in the corner. The knight walked in and watched slowly.

There is a small bookcase on the left side of the door. The knights glanced at them. They were all books about world customs and sightseeing around the world. There were no rare books, only superficial readings for the general public, and they would not record some secrets and hidden places. .

There is a vertical Go board in the corner on the right, and there is an endgame left on the board. This kind of chess is very popular in the Eastern Kingdom, but knights don't know how to play this kind of chess. , and said that this game has endless changes, which is a test of human wisdom, but the knights who are not interested just glanced at it and skipped it.

Going to the desk in the center of the house, there are some paints and inks spread on it, and some drawing papers are piled up in a mess. The knight flipped through it and found that some were calligraphy, some were watercolor paintings, and some were all painted in black ink. It feels very elegant and simple. The knight has seen similar style works in some materials before. It seems to be the art of painting in a small country in the east, but now there are very few people who can paint. In fact, even calligraphy is now Nobody practices. Therefore, the knight was a little surprised, but he didn't expect the other party to have this specialty.

Looking up at other things in the room, there is a piano on one side of the floor-to-ceiling window, and a large rectangular table on the other side. The knight walked towards the piano and found that there were several musical instruments scattered around the piano. After a closer look, it seemed that most of them were musical instruments from small eastern countries. Because they were not common, there were also very few people who could play them now. These musical instruments, the knight is a little suspicious, can Celluloid really play these instruments? These musical instruments are so out of the way that many people don't even know they exist. It's hard to imagine how advanced a young girl can be.

Turning his head to look at the other side of the floor-to-ceiling window, there is a flat embroidery frame next to the rectangular table. The knight stepped forward and looked down. The pattern on the embroidery frame was only half embroidered, but it could be seen that it was embroidered with a beautiful embroidery frame. In the valley, the quiet stream flows gently, and the shore is full of flowers of various colors.

This is also celluloid embroidery? Looking at this work in amazement, it is difficult for the knight to imagine that a girl can be so versatile. There are some finished embroidery items on the side of the embroidery frame. The knight picks up and looks at them one by one. It could be considered a work of art.

He turned his attention to the rectangular platform, and there were two flat baskets on it. One basket was full of wool, and the other was cloth. He rummaged through the things inside, and in the wool basket, the knight saw two pieces. Semi-finished products, a sweater, a scarf, depending on the style, color and size, should be woven for men.

The sweater was a light V-neck style, and the color was moss green. Picking up the sweater, the knight made a gesture, and found that it was almost exactly the same as his figure, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

Could it be that this one was woven for him? No, it's better not to guess randomly. The knight rejected his random guess in the next second, put down the sweater, rummaged through the pile of fabrics, and found a few semi-finished products, which were also men's styles, but the knight didn't care anymore.

He glanced at the room again. The room shocked him as well. If Cellulu was really proficient in everything in the room, then she was indeed very powerful, but the mystery surrounding her also increased. Every interest in the room requires a lot of time to study and study. Iscelo is so young, and what she can achieve is limited, not to mention that she has learned so much, but only the painting and embroidery she just saw. Speaking of which, it is undeniable that those can already be regarded as masters. If the level of her other interests can be compared with these two, it is incredible and impossible to reach such a level at such a young age.

With strong doubts, the knight went out of this room, pushed the door and entered the other room, which should be Cellullu's bedroom. A little surprise, the layout inside is exactly the same as his room. His room is very simple, with only a bed, a bedside table and a wardrobe, but the knight originally thought that because that room was a guest room, it would be arranged more casually, but now Looking at this room, the knight knew that he had misunderstood.

This bedroom feels the same to him as the living room. It is also lifeless, empty, and dead. The only thing that is alive is the flower arrangement, which is full of strange disharmony. The knight doesn't understand why he treats people so gently. Lulu would actually set up such a cold and dead room, as if this was not her home, but looking at it this way, the big room just now had a little more life.

Thinking of this, the knight finally noticed why he felt a strong sense of disobedience. Not to mention the feeling of homelessness in this house, it was difficult to even feel the breath of life, although the place where the brigade lived might not It can't be said to feel like home, but at least it can make people feel that the house is lived in, but this house is just like the ruins that the brigade seeks every time they go out. There is no sudden feeling when I am there, but once the person is gone, it is a veritable empty house, without any sense of identity and belonging.

The knight who recognizes this fact doesn't know how to feel for a while. A person's character and behavior can be reflected in some details of life intentionally or unintentionally. By looking at the house, you can roughly see a person's character. The house of the small section will be very messy, the room of the nervous person will be quite organized and orderly, the room of the person with a calm personality will be relatively simple and moderate, and the room of the lively person is always full of a lot of accessories, so the knight would guess Celluloid at the beginning. Lu's room must be warm and sweet, because she made him feel like a gentle and kind-hearted but shy and shy person, but from this room, the knights could only feel dead silence and indifference, even those The flowers seem to be decorated to cover up the desolation in the heart.

After thinking for a while in a daze, the knight waved away this strange feeling of incongruity and checked celluloid's things. The clothes in the wardrobe were pitiful, only seven or eight pieces, and they covered all seasons of the year. The underwear and socks were neatly stacked together, but they only looked like four or five pieces. There were only two pairs of shoes underneath, and one pair was still sandals.

Looking at the empty wardrobe, the knight gave a wry smile. Is the other party a girl who is in bloom? He has never seen a woman with such little clothes. A woman's wardrobe will always lack one piece of clothing. The "Famous Words" knight also knows that his previous women's wardrobes were always full of clothes. Even so, he often complained that there were not enough clothes to wear. Even the only three female companions in the brigade had enough clothes. Not a lot.

Shaking his hair, the knight leaned on crutches, came to the bed, and was about to open the bedside table, but found that the top drawer was locked, but the bottom two were unlocked. The knight opened one of the unlocked drawers and found that only the There are some scattered items, but he noticed that there are also hair dye and contact lens cases in it. Do you need to cover up something and use these things, or just dye your hair and wear contact lenses just for fashion. Find a chance to check it later, knight Thinking with his hands on his cheeks.

The other drawer only held a suitcase, but it was locked by a password, but for a knight who is an expert in unlocking, this is naturally a small case. After a while, the password was cracked, and the box was opened, and it was full of money. Roughly counted, there are probably more than 30 million.

"Hey? I didn't expect to be a rich man," the knight gave a casual admiration. Although the money knight did not see it in his eyes, but for ordinary people, this is already considered a huge sum of money, and it is locked as it is. Loading the suitcase and putting it back in the drawer, the knight looked at the last remaining drawer, so far he had not found anything of value or that could prove Celluloid's experience.

It seems that the last clue is in the locked drawer. Although it is easy to destroy, it is obviously not a wise choice. Looking at the lock, the knight decided to find Duan Iron Wire to unlock the lock.

Walking into the kitchen, the knight found that the kitchen is also very clean, but the breath of life is much stronger than other places. After all, Cellulu is busy with three meals a day here, and there will always be some traces left on the countertop at night. The dishes to be eaten have already been processed. It seems that all you need to do is to fry them in the pot. Speaking of which, the knight found that although the ingredients of the dishes he was eating were very common, the method was very strange, and it was rare to eat them outside. Cuisine, that is, general Western food, seems to be more inclined to some Eastern ethnic cooking methods.

Is she related to which country in the East? The knight who noticed that many things about Cellulo were linked to Touhou speculates while looking for the wire.

Holding the found wire, the knight returned to Cellulo's room and easily unlocked the lock. There were only two things inside, a beautifully made bracelet and four small glass bottles. The moment the knight saw the glass bottles, his pupils shrank. , I couldn't wait to pick up one of them, looked at it carefully, opened the stopper again, and observed the flowers inside. The next moment, an excited smile appeared on the face of the knight, and the blue eyes were shining brightly:

"Sure enough, it's actually Tilan, I didn't expect there are four more flowers,"

Looking at the remaining three bottles, the knight immediately had the urge to eat them all. Tilan is very precious as a flower to supplement his mind power. In the past, the brigade had intercepted three of them when they were robbing other things. Tilan, the knight who divided the spoils according to the rules of the brigade at that time did not get Tilan. Although other trophies at that time were also very satisfactory to him, he was still very coveted for this kind of flower knight who could supplement and enhance the power of mind.

Now there are actually four of them all at once, how can he not be excited? His injury is not only manifested in the body, but the last self-operation also damaged a lot of his mind power, and the recovery of mind power is better than that of the body. Recovery is slower, but if you have these four Tilans, you can not only quickly replenish his lost psychic power, but also further enhance his psychic power, which is a big temptation for knights.

After struggling there for a long time, the knight finally decided to give up painfully. Now he is much more interested in celluloid than Tiran, and he doesn't want to leave the girl's side so soon. If he eats Tilan, then he will follow her. Cellulo's relationship is completely over, especially now that he has not recovered from his serious injury, and he is not sure what the other party has. You can always recover slowly.

Reluctantly, he put down Tilan, and the knight picked up the bracelet again. The bracelet inlaid with gold and silver inlaid with branches and leaves looked gorgeous, but this was not what caught the knight's attention. The gems and flowers inlaid on it really made him What he found strange, according to his vast knowledge, he could not see what kind of gem it was. The flowers carved by the gems shone with a faint blue light. He had never seen the flowers before, but he was not proficient in botany. The knight is not sure if he is ignorant, so he has never seen this kind of flower, but there is no doubt that this bracelet is still a rare thing.

Holding the bracelet repeatedly in his hand, when he touched the only blooming flower, the knight felt a strange touch. Looking at the flower carefully, the knight moved gently, and with a burst of force, the flower was lifted up. A smooth surface was revealed below, with two rows of numbers beating on it. The numbers in the upper column were constantly beating between 0 and 100, and the next column was an integer, saying 96.

What do these numbers mean? The knight observed this set of numbers, expecting that it would change, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no change in the numbers. The knight, who was puzzled, could only close the flowers and put the bracelet back as it was.

Locking the drawer as it was, the knight carefully checked that there were no traces left, then exited Celluloid's room and returned to his own room. The knight lying on the bed resting recalled the exploration just now, and found that the results of the search for a long time not only Instead of letting him know more about Cellulo and solving her mystery, it deepened his confusion. The knight who paid attention to Cellulo just because of his strength now feels a deeper level of doubt.
