Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Chapter 4: Leave! return! parting! (superior)

Sitting on her bed, Celluloid just finished bathing and wiping her wet hair. She had just dyed her hair in the bathroom, the color was ordinary sky blue, and she put on her contact lenses when she left the bathroom. , which is also an ordinary light blue. She casually picked up the small mirror on the bedside table. After looking carefully, she found that she was an ordinary girl no matter how she looked in the mirror, and Cellulu let out a sigh of relief.

"It's been almost two months since I've been here." Having settled this matter, Cellulu suddenly remembered another event that was about to happen. She leaned forward and opened a drawer of the bedside table, and took out a delicate bracelet from it. .

It was a gold-tipped silver-leaf twisted rattan bracelet. It was also densely dotted with some blue gems the size of rice grains. Upon closer inspection, it was carved into small flower buds. Only one flower was in full bloom in the entire bracelet. The dark blue gem material makes this thumb-nail-sized flower extraordinarily mysterious and elegant.

At this moment, Celluloid was gently poking at the flower. With one force, the flower was lifted up, revealing a smooth screen below. At this time, two lines of numbers were beating on the plane, and the numbers on the top line kept on It toggles between 0 and 100, and below it shows two numbers, one is 99.87 and the other is 135.

This bracelet was given to her by herself in a certain world before, because it looks very expensive and luxurious, so Cellulu never wears it, she just keeps it with her carefully. , Valuable, beautiful and rare things are not suitable for ordinary people. If you go out with such a bracelet, you will always encounter peeping and coveted eyes. Although the bracelet cannot be stolen, it will automatically return even if it is taken away. It's a headache to get attention when it comes to Celluloid. After all, it is impossible for someone who is incapable to keep treasures, and showing strength is a taboo for Cellulo, who lives a low-key life.

The gorgeous and beautiful appearance cannot obliterate its most basic function. For Celluloid, this bracelet is actually equivalent to a watch. Celluloid cannot stay in any place for two months, even if it dies. The resurrected Cellulu had been wandering for seven or eight hundred years before she met the person who gave her this bracelet. Before meeting this person, Cellulu had tried countless times to find the reason for her abnormality, but she never found it. , although she has also encountered some strange people and strange things, it is another power that is completely different from her essence, and through that person, Cellulu first understands the reason for the strange phenomenon that appeared in her.

The variation of time and the exclusion of space were heard from that person. When I first heard it, Cellulu couldn't understand the meaning of the other party at all. It was too mysterious for her.

After the other party explained everything in a cloudy and confusing way, Cellulu finally simplified it into something that she could understand.

To put it simply, the time on her body is looping indefinitely, like a stuck record, looping over and over again, but she can't get to the next stage. Cellulo estimates that it was the year when she was 14 years old and fell ill. Since then, the time on Celluloid has not been running normally. It is not passing forward like everything in the normal world, like a straight line, but like a circle, where it starts and then goes back, it should be It stopped at a certain time when she was fourteen, Cellulu speculated, that's why she couldn't die, because even if she died, it would return to the starting point after a cycle of time.

As for the reason why she couldn't stay in any space for a long time, it was even more unacceptable to Cellulu. Space exclusion, this inexplicable term made Cellulu ashamed to the extreme. She was like a virus or a foreign body. In the same way, no space that exists can accept and agree with the existence of celluloid. The space can temporarily allow her to exist, but when the space's tolerance to celluloid reaches the upper limit, it will be as if consciously. Forced to distort the space, throw Celluloid from this space segment, and the next space segment will repeat the previous process. The limit of this tolerance is about two months, and the space tolerance range of a world is limited. , 100 years or so is the maximum value that a world can withstand the invasion of foreign objects, so every hundred years or so, celluloid will be repelled by the space of one world, and then randomly thrown to other worlds.

Although I know the reason, it can't solve any problems, because this kind of thing related to time and space like the laws of nature, obviously can not be solved by personal ability, so after the initial shock, loss and disappointment, it is very difficult to solve the problem. The only benefit that Cellulu, who was about to cheer up, got from this incident was getting such a bracelet that could predict when she would leave a space segment or world.

The number displayed on the line above the bracelet is the time synchronization rate. If it is passing according to the normal world, it should be 100. If the time is stagnant, it should be 0. If it is a rare time reversal state, it should be -100. , Celluloid's time keeps looping, so the above time is always switching between 0 and 100.

The number below shows the spatial repulsion rate. If it is 0, it means that there is no repulsion phenomenon in the space. As the number increases, it means that the repulsion degree of the space to celluloid is also increasing. When the spatial repulsion rate reaches 99 , a fine percentage display will appear, and a number will pop up to tell Cellul how much time she has left to be thrown out of the space she's in.

She was amazed at such a miraculous thing. The person who gave her this was a person with similar symptoms to her, but the other person was a space repellant. When he kept wandering in various worlds, he came into contact with Many people have also discovered some laws of time and space. The person who relies on other powers to cultivate longevity has also encountered those who can come and go freely in space and live forever in a long time, but many of them are It is done by other forces, and the only few people with similar symptoms will only have one kind of mutation, either the time on the body mutates, or the space mutates, no one has the time on the body like celluloid. At the same time, there is a problem with the principle of space operation. This kind of thing with extremely low probability will also encounter Celluloid. The other party joked that Cellulo's luck should be the best in the universe. He sneered, it should be the first unlucky person in the universe, right? Celluloid also asked the other party about the superpowers that appeared later, but no other similar people had superpowers at the same time when they had symptoms, and the other party joked that it could only be regarded as extra. of the gift.

After getting the bracelet, Celluloid's life can be more planned and organized. She will no longer be able to cause panic to the people around her because she can't predict when she will disappear, or stay behind because she suddenly disappears and can't say goodbye to people. Sorry, for Cellulu, every encounter is a fate, and every parting is doomed, but before it is doomed, I still hope to cherish this fate.

Pulling back again, the numbers on the bracelet have jumped to 99.91 and 125.

"Well~, I'll be reprimanded by this space in two hours."

Thinking like this, Cellulu decided to say hello to Aunt Nakari, not to worry about her sudden disappearance. After all, after being excluded from this space, she would not be able to return to her place within two days. Give the space a period of recuperation to get used to her.

Cellulu put on a coat and went out the door. She came to the door of Aunt Nakari's room next door, and tapped lightly.

"Aunt, are you there? It's me, Cellulo."

The door opened, and Nakali saw Cellulu standing at the door. She pulled Cellulu into the room and closed the door.

"God, Celluloid, come in."

After pressing Celluloid to the chair in front of the window sill, Nakali said kindly:

"Wait a minute, I'll pour you a glass of honey milk."

"Ah! Don't be busy~~",

Cellulu just wanted her aunt to stop worrying, but Nakali quickly opened a small refrigerator next to her, took out the milk and poured it into a cup. Looking at her aunt who was mixing honey, Cellulu could only swallow it. words.

"Come on, Celluloid, drink this soon. You'll get better sleep after a while."

Nakali smiled and put the milk on the small white round table in front of Cellulo, then sat down beside Cellulo.

Celluloid picked up the cup, drank the milk in one breath, put down the cup, and wiped the corner of her mouth before speaking.

"Well, actually, aunt, I have something to tell you."

"Well? What's the matter?"

Nakali looked at Cellulo suspiciously.

"That's right, I'm going out tomorrow, and it will take about two days to come back. It's something my parents left behind, so I want to tell you in advance today, because I'm leaving early in the morning, so tomorrow Aunt doesn't have to send me."

Celluloid made up a reasonable reason for leaving temporarily.

"Ah? Why didn't I hear you talk about it before?" Nakali whispered in surprise.

"I only got the call from the hotel this afternoon. I answered it. I was in a hurry, and I was quite surprised." Cellulu replied quickly.

"Then do you want aunt to go with you? After all, you are still young, and it is more convenient for adults to come forward for some matters." Nakali looked at Cellulu worriedly.

"Ah, no need."

Cellulu hurriedly shook her head and rejected Nakali's proposal. In order to reassure her, she also emphasized.

"It's just a small matter, so it's okay to be alone. You can come back in two days."

Still worried, Nakali swears by Cellulu's thousand guarantees and ten thousand guarantees that it is absolutely a trivial matter, and she will be able to come back soon, she is hesitant to let go. After saying goodbye to her aunt, she went out. Taking a long breath, although Aunt Nakari's long-winded words were a bit of a headache, she was still very happy, because it proved that the other party was genuinely caring about her.

"what!",

On the way back to her room, Cellulu suddenly thought of something and let out a low voice.

"Forgot to ask Aunt Nakari what "liquid ore, water glass and white fire mean." "

Do you want to go back and ask again? Cellulu hesitated for a moment, but then she thought, this is just a trivial matter, and it's late again today, so don't bother aunt anymore.

"Well, I'll ask when I come back next time. Anyway, I can ask at any time, so I'm not in a hurry." She whispered to herself, but she didn't know that today's meeting was with Aunt Nakari. The last side of her, I will never see this gentle and kind person again.

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

At two o’clock in the middle of the night, Celluloid sat quietly on the bed in her room, dressed neatly, and looked at the number displayed on the bracelet on her wrist. At this time, the numbers on the upper and lower columns of the bracelet displayed the numbers 99.99 and 1. After another beat, the number It has become 100, and the number next to it has become 59 and is quickly retreating back, which means that this space has reached the limit value, and Celluloid will also be excluded by this space in one minute. Bounce away.

When the number returned to 10, the space around Celluloid began to appear twisted and twisted, and the degree of distortion continued to deepen. Soon Celluloid was distorted and could not see clearly. The moment it became 0, the distortion stopped instantly, and the space quickly returned to its original state. Nothing in the room had changed. The only difference was that Celluloid, who was sitting on the bed, had disappeared from the bed.

The place where it landed after being excluded from space is random and uncontrollable, but as long as it does not exceed a hundred years, the place where it reappears will definitely be on this planet.

Cellulu watched the space distorted and returned to its original state, and the scene in front of her changed from an ordinary room to a dark back alley. Cellulu, who was accustomed to this, took another look at the numbers on the bracelet and confirmed her return. After zero, the faint blue flower was buttoned up to cover this smooth plane.

After a little tidying up, Celluloid walked out of the back alley and couldn't help sighing when she saw the colorful, shining neon lights and the bustling scene of people on the street.

"It's already two o'clock in the middle of the night, and there are still so many people. It looks like a big bustling city. Well, let's take a look at where it is now. I hope it's not too far from Scarri, otherwise I will start a long-distance jump, but It's tiring."

While thinking about it, Cellulu looked at the street, and after randomly pulling a passerby to inquire about the city's tourist information center, she walked slowly towards that place.

Celluloid, who has checked the world map of this world, found out after the comparison that she has now arrived on another continent. This city is called Rietta, which is located at the southern end of the Aizhen continent and belongs to the Virgin Republic.

"It's really far. This distance is no longer the distance that you can go back with teleportation. Do you have to jump over a long distance? It will be exhausting, hey~"

With a frowning face, she measured the distance between Rietta and Scully, and the dejected Cellulu decided to find a park to recharge her batteries and spend the past two days.

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

In the early morning of the next day, when Celluloid was wandering around in the strange Rietta and found a secluded park to sleep in, Scully and Chrollo had just left the hotel and headed towards the pier. Set off, today is the day to turn with the knights and the others, and it is also the scheduled action day to **** the white fire.

All of Scully's boats set out from the pier near the fish market. At this time, Chrollo was leaning against a tie-stone beside the pier, with the boat that had been rented out yesterday moored behind him. His deep, dark eyes stared indifferently. Not far from the scene where the fishermen's boats were anchored and unloaded in full swing, a shout suddenly came from behind.

"Yo! Captain~"

Chrollo turned his head and looked to the rear right, and saw three people slowly walking towards this side, two men and one woman, the brown-haired, green-eyed boy walking in the front was waving his hand with a smile, right. Greetings to the head of the family.

A young girl with short black hair and large black-rimmed glasses who was walking behind pushed her glasses, and asked Chrollo how the regiment was doing with a positive attitude, before turning her head to the side and combing her braids. The wretched middle-aged man with a knife asked:

"Nobunaga, what are we doing here?"

"Hey, Xiaodi, your memory is really unbearable, didn't you just say it, I really sympathize with Franklin who is always with you."

Lazily scratching his chest, he blew lightly on his fingernails after digging out his ears, and the man next to him called Nobunaga muttered something, and then explained to Xiaodi.

"We're here to get the white fire."

"Baihuo, what is that?" Xiaodi looked at Nobunaga with a puzzled expression.

"Well, white fire is one of the seven beauties. It is a kind of fish. I heard that when it burns, it will produce the most beautiful pure white fire in the world. It seems like this, eh? Chang habitually checked with the tea-haired boy in front of him.

"Hee hee, that's right." The knight turned his head with a smile and affirmed his companion's explanation, then walked quickly to the head of the regiment.

"Ao~~" The girl seemed to understand and stopped talking.

"We're here, let's go."

Looking at the three of them, Chrollo gave an order, and when he turned around, the corners of his clothes flew, and an unstoppable oppressive aura emanated from him.

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

The Phantom Brigade's shot will naturally not fail. At this time, Chrollo, who has already obtained the white fire, instructed the knights to collect all the white fires in a special bag, took one of them, and ignited it. Suddenly, a bright and pure white jumped in front of everyone's eyes.

"Oh~, it turns out that this is Baihuo, it is indeed beautiful, and it is indeed one of the seven beauties." The knight next to him who was busy dressing as a fish gave a surprised admiration.

"Well, yes."

Nobunaga agreed lazily, but his eyes never left the white ball, and he was obviously attracted.

Xiaodi carefully and carefully put the strips of white fire into the special bag at hand, and he has no time to take care of this side for the time being. Anyway, there are still many white fires.

Chrollo didn't have the same strong excitement as his companions. It was obviously a very beautiful thing, and it did make him feel amazing for a moment, but he always felt that something was missing. A sense of indifference to the rest of the thing, which, while still beautiful, no longer strikes the heart.

"There's no such unpredictable, crystal clear feeling." For a moment, Chrollo had such a thought. He was a little inexplicable about why he felt this way. Chrollo covered his mouth and lowered his head to think about the sudden The reason why this thought appeared in my mind.

"Head, everything is packed, what do we do next?" Xiaodi, who had already packed up, asked Chrollo.

"Well, since it's over, let's leave." Chrollo, whose thinking was interrupted, looked up at the team members who had already dealt with the scene and were waiting for his further instructions, and issued such an order.

Since he can't find the reason, Chrollo won't be entangled in things that have no results. This is meaningless. He never bothers himself. Although the feeling at that moment is strange, with Chrollo's self-confidence, he believes that the answer to the mystery is always there. will unravel.

Chrollo, whose memory has been tampered with, can't be interested in Cellulo anymore. For him now, Cellulo is just an ordinary person, and Chrollo never cares about such a person. Since the mission is over, then There was no need to stay here, and Krollo and his team left the small town of Scarri.
