Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Chapter 43: Meteor Street Chronicle (3)

Following Chrollo and Pike Nortan, Cellulu walked quite hard. There was no way in front of her. She had to find an easy place to settle on the garbage heap with one foot low and one foot high. But it seems to have long been used to it, walking is quite natural and easy.

Although they invited her to be a guest, the two of them showed no hospitality at all. They just walked forward on their own, completely ignoring her who was following behind. Even if they didn't run, the speed was as fast as Cellullu's desperate efforts. Not even a trot can keep up.

It seems that they are two powerful non-human beings. Looking at the three-inch high-heeled shoes under Pike Nuotan's feet in front, Cellulu can't help but smile, is this world martial artist in power? Why even women wearing such high heels can walk so fast without being hindered by these uneven rubbish.

The result of her fascination was that when she didn't pay attention to her feet, she suddenly stumbled on a piece of garbage. In order not to fall down, Cellulu tried to maintain her balance, but her entire right ankle was pinned away. , A piercing pain came from the ankle, and the pain seemed to make the brain go blank. Cellulu couldn't even make a sound all of a sudden, she just sat on the ground, hunched her body, and covered her ankle desperately. , wait for the pain to subside.

Chrollo and Pike, who were walking in the front, were not deliberately trying. For them, the speed was already very slow, but after walking for a while, they felt that the breath of Celluloid behind them was pulling further and further away from them. , and finally even stopped, Chrollo and Pike turned around at the same time, thinking that the other party was going to play some tricks, but saw Cellulu sitting on the ground with her feet in her arms, fifty meters away from them.

Chrollo swept back to the other side in two or three steps, bent down slightly, looked at Cellulu with a gentle but slightly concerned look, and asked:

"Miss Cellulo, what's the matter with you?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention when I walked just now, and accidentally sprained my foot. Just let me rest for a while, and I can go right away."

Hearing this, Cellulu raised her head and looked at Chrollo with an apologetic smile, but her face turned pale.

Hearing the other party's answer, Chrollo was a little speechless for a while. He didn't expect that Cellulo's physical fitness would be so weak that she would sprain her feet when she walked.

But remembering that it seemed that the distance between them was gradually widening, could it be that the other party was in a hurry because he couldn't keep up, so he sprained his foot because he didn't pay attention to the road? Chrollo immediately looked at Cellulo inquiringly, with just the right amount of concern on his face:

"Miss Cellulo, are you okay? Is it because we're going too fast?"

"Well~~ My speed is also a little slow, but because it's really not easy to walk here, I'm really sorry, I'm getting up now."

Cellulu euphemistically agreed with the other party's statement, then barely propped up her body, placed her weight on her left foot, kept her balance tremblingly, and prepared to continue walking forward.

The girl's answer confirmed Chrollo's speculation, and it also surprised him a bit. He couldn't even keep up with this speed. In terms of physical fitness, he was really an ordinary person. Chrollo thought about it.

Looking at the girl's right ankle, Chrollo frowned, squatted down and pinched the wound. The defenseless Cellulu screamed in pain, and her body involuntarily fell towards Chrollo.

After catching the girl, Chrollo slapped and hugged Cellulu. Cellulo, who was startled by the other's actions, struggled with a little resistance, trying to persuade Chrollo to let her down:

"Mr. Chrollo, I'm fine, I can go by myself, so let me down."

"Your ankle is very swollen. Although my place is not far, it's not close. If you continue to walk, it will only aggravate your injury."

Chrollo raised his eyebrows and rejected her opinion casually, still holding her firmly, and even started to move on.

Chrollo in front of him seemed to be a little more powerful than just now. Cellulu was overwhelmed by this unquestionable momentum, and she couldn't even utter a rebuttal. In the end, she could only say:

"Well, please, please, Mr. Chrollo."

Chrollo's speed was much faster than when she had followed behind, scrambling swiftly through the mountains of junk sitting after sitting, with Pike closely behind him.

On the other hand, Cellulu, who was lying in Chrollo's arms, was stiff all over. After Chrollo picked her up, she tried her best to pull away from the other person's body, maintaining the same posture all the time, not daring to move. move. Chrollo's body had the refreshing smell of soap and the ink smell of books, which really matched his bookish appearance, but the breath of unfamiliar men filled his nose, which still made Cellulu extremely unaccustomed, and hugged Jin. She feels different, because Cellulu trusts Jin and thinks he is a good person, so Cellulu is quite casual in Jin's arms, but for Chrollo, because she always has a lump in her heart, she can't relax at all, so Cellulo could only hope to get to the other party's residence as soon as possible to get out of this predicament.

After twenty minutes of walking, Chrollo stopped, bowed his head and smiled warmly at the girl in his arms.

"Miss Cellulo, here we are."

Cellulo turned her head to look at Chrollo's house, and found that Chrollo's description just now was very factual, without any exaggeration. Does it really deserve to be a house built on a **** heap? The building in front of her can be regarded as a large garbage. She looked at the three-story building in front of her with a black line, but it was nearly 30 degrees to the right, and it seemed to collapse at any time. The ruined building with holes and air leaks everywhere. Unable to make a statement, after a long while, I choked out a sentence.

"Well~~ very individual house, very postmodern style."

Chrollo smiled noncommittally, ignoring Cellulo's description, and carried her into the house, with Pike following behind.

Inside is a fairly large living room. Judging from the layout and the things stacked in the living room, there are obviously a lot of people living here. It feels like a group dormitory, but it is also a place full of strong life atmosphere. After some time, I came to this conclusion.

There was a person sitting on the sofa in the living room. It was a girl with blue-purple hair and a short kimono with a ponytail. When she saw the three of them come in, she got up and nodded and said hello:

"Captain, Pike, you're back. This person is •••?"

The girl's golden eyes glanced at her coldly, and asked Chrollo who was holding her.

"Maggie, this is our guest-Miss Cellulo, she will stay here for a few days, Miss Cellulo, this is Maggie."

After placing Celluloid on the sofa and sitting down, Chrollo gave a brief introduction with a smile.

"Hello, Miss Marchie."

Cellulu smiled at the other party and said hello.

Maggie just nodded at her with a cold face, and said nothing, she looked like a cool iceberg beauty, Cellulu thought.

Noticing that Maggie called Chrollo the leader just now, Cellulu raised her head and looked at Chrollo curiously:

"Mr. Chrollo, is the commander your nickname?"

"Forget it, I formed a small group, so my companions call me the head of the group." Chrollo chuckled and said lightly.

"Oh, so that's true, indeed, Mr. Chrollo has a leadership temperament." Cellulu looked at Chrollo understandingly and nodded in agreement.

"Oh, it's too much, Miss Cellulo, by the way, Miss Cellulo's sprain also seems to need to be dealt with, Pike!"

Chrollo smiled and turned to Pike.

Pike nodded, and didn't know where he went. When he came out again, he took a bag of ice cubes and bandages and sat beside Celluloid. After taking off Celluloid's socks, he was swollen like a steamed bun, bigger than his left ankle. With more than double his right ankle exposed to the public, Pike lifted Celluloid's ankle and began to deal with it.

"Miss Pikenottan, I'll just do it myself,"

Celluloid was a little embarrassed to bother others.

Pike's men didn't stop, just replied briefly, and then started chatting seemingly casually.

"Miss Cellulu, you're welcome, by the way, where is Miss Cellulu from?

"Thank you then, I'm a Scari."

Seeing Pike's insistence, Cellulu could only accept the other party's kindness. When she heard Pike's question, she used the safest way to say it. After all, she was in Scarri when she met Chrollo.

"I met the captain there too, but it's a coincidence that we will meet again. Is Miss Cellulu still living in Scari?" Pike asked inadvertently.

"No, I've left now," Cellulu replied immediately.

"Is that so? Is Miss Celluloid traveling around? Have you encountered anything interesting or dangerous? After all, a girl traveling alone is always easy to encounter a lot of things." Pike put on a pair of asked curiously.

"Well, that's right, but fortunately, I didn't encounter anything dangerous. Travel itself is also quite interesting." Cellulu replied vaguely.

"Really? Ah, well, the injury can be fixed like this. I believe it will be fine after two days of rest."

After tying Celluloid's ankle with a bandage, Pike stopped the conversation and stood up to look at the captain.

From the beginning, Chrollo just watched their conversation with Maggie in silence. Seeing that Pike was finished, he smiled gracefully and said to Cellulu:

"Miss Cellulu, why don't you go to the room to rest first? You must be very tired."

"Well, okay, thank you."

Cellulu nodded, agreed, and was about to stand up on the sofa, but Chrollo came forward and picked her up again quite automatically, and spoke in a gentlemanly manner.

"It's better for me to come, your feet are inconvenient."

"thanks."

Seeing this, Cellulu could only thank her.

Chrollo took her to the second floor. There were several rooms on this floor. Chrollo stopped until he reached the room on the right at the end. He pushed open the door with one hand and walked in.

Cellulu looked at the layout in surprise. The room was filled with all kinds of books, covering the sky and filling the room. The only normal furniture was a small bed and a desk.

After Chrollo put Cellulo on the bed, he smiled and said:

"Sorry, there aren't enough rooms here, so only the wronged Miss Cellulu lives in my study."

"No, it's fine, I'm the one who troubled you."

Cellulo's eyes still stopped in the sea of ​​books, and she turned her head and answered politely after hearing Chrollo's words.

"Then, Miss Cellulu, rest, I'll go out first."

Chrollo nodded politely at her, then pushed open the door and went out.

The moment he left the door, Chrollo put away the warm and gentle smile on his face and went downstairs. Maggie and Pike were sitting on the sofa waiting for him. Chrollo looked at Parker and said:

"How? What did you see?"

Pike frowned, somewhat at a loss for words, organizing the language there.

"I saw it, but I saw something completely unrelated. No matter what question I asked, I could always see the same memory, and the girl's hair color and eye color in that memory were also the same. It's different now."

"Hmm~? Call me those memories."

Chrollo covered his mouth and pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly he clapped his hands together and ordered Parker.

"Show me too,"

Ma Qi next to him also asked after hearing it.

"good."

Parker took out a pistol, turned his hand slightly, and revealed two bullets, which were pushed into the chamber and fired at Chrollo and Maggie.

The bullets jumped on the foreheads of the two of them, and the pictures were presented one by one. Chrollo closed his eyes and watched. As Parker said, the image of the celluloid in the memory in the mirror is different from now, it is a black haired black. The girl with eyes, that memory is very short and jumping, Cellulu seems to be sick, lying in the hospital, a middle-aged couple appears, it should be her parents, surrounding her, sighing and crying, then she The disease seemed to be cured suddenly, and the last picture was the happy and excited smiling faces of the couple, and the memory was interrupted at this point.

Chrollo opened his eyes, and after pondering for a moment, confirmed to Pike:

"Are you saying that no matter what question you ask, you always see this memory? You can't see anything else?"

"Yes, there is always only such a paragraph that can be searched and probed."

Pike nodded affirmatively. Also a little weird.

"It's really strange, why can you only see this piece of memory, did you feel resistance or strength hindered when you probed?"

Chrollo thought for a moment, deduced in the other direction, and looked at Pike for confirmation.

"No, no, the memory reads smoothly, and I don't feel any obstructions or incongruities."

Pike shook his head, denying the guess, and she had absolutely no clue as to why this happened.

"What do you think of Maggie?"

Chrollo was puzzled, he raised his head and looked at Maggie as if asking.

"I don't know, it feels weird."

Maggie frowned slightly, feeling a little inexplicable about this memory.

From the girl's side, it seems that there is no information for the time being. Taking the thinking out of the memory problem, Chrollo turns to pay attention to another problem. At that time, he saw the girl's hair and eyes in the memory. At the time, he did not ignore the sense of disobedience that instantly rose, which made him very concerned. It always seemed to be the crux of the problem. Thinking that there was no problem before, but it just made him feel a strange encounter with Celluloid. After passing, could it be said that there is also a problem with his own memory, Chrollo boldly speculated, raised his eyebrows, looked up at Pike, and ordered:

"Pike, read the memory of my encounter with Celluloid and see if there is any problem."

"Okay, Captain, how did you and Cellulu know each other?"

Although he didn't understand the captain's intention, Pike still put his hand on the captain's body and asked. The memory read very smoothly, but after reaching a scene, it suddenly seemed like a protrusion or node appeared, and it stuck for a while before the picture continued.

Withdrawing his hand, Pike said:

"Leader, it's better for you to see for yourself. Your analytical skills are stronger than mine."

Another bullet was shot into Chrollo's head. He closed his eyes and looked at the picture. Chrollo looked for the incongruity. He unconsciously tapped his knees with his knuckles, slowly filtering the scene, and opened the door. Eyes, Chrollo slowly analyzed, and finally looked at Pike:

"The place where it suddenly got stuck seems to be the problem. There should be a memory here, but it's covered up. Pike, can you find a way to get it out?"

"This, I'll try•••"

Pike didn't have much confidence, he once again got on the shoulders of the head of the regiment and started to read hard. Psychic power flowed over and over again and hit the node, but the effect was not great. Seeing Pike's dignified face, Chrollo also Knowing that the progress was not going well, he activated the mind power in his body, cooperated with Pike's mind power fluctuations, and thought about the scene carefully. The two mind powers converged, and the node seemed to be loosening slowly. After noticing this phenomenon , Parker even intensified the reading force in one go, the nodes loosened, and the picture hidden in the middle suddenly burst open.

Chrollo felt like there was a sudden "pop" in his head, and a lot of scenes appeared in front of him. Looking at the clear memory, Chrollo laughed out loud.

"I see, is this what you make me care about? It's amazing that you can let me forget about it for half a year without realizing it."

Pike, who was reading the memory, naturally also saw this memory. She retracted her hand in surprise. She didn't know what to be surprised about in that scene, but in the end, she was also the memory controller who cared about psychological accounting. Gaining the upper hand, she looked at Chrollo with a dignified expression.

"Captain, that girl can also manipulate the memory. It seems that this is also the reason why I failed to read the memory just now."

"Well, it's possible, I just wanted to use her as a collection, but I didn't expect that besides the ornamental value, there would be so many special abilities. Should it be said that she still belongs to me after all? After going around, she still came back to me. around."

Chrollo smiled very smugly, and there was an undisguised possessiveness in his eyes as deep as midnight.

Maggie, who didn't understand what Pike and Chrollo were talking about, gestured to Pike to let her take a look, but Maggie focused all her attention on Cellulo's hair and eyes in the memory, and she said with a little admiration. :

"Pretty, those eyes and hair."
