Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Chapter 96: Journey to Another World: Prison Stars and Clouds (9)

"I found it, I finally found the clue."

As soon as he entered the door, the knight kicked off his shoes, waved a few pages of paper in his hands, and rushed into the living room excitedly.

"Knight, you are back, why are you so excited, what did you find?"

Cellulu was standing in front of the stove, holding a small bowl in her hand while trying the taste. When she heard the shout of the knight, she turned down the fire and let the vegetables continue to simmer slowly. Then she turned around and greeted her from the kitchen. With a hint of doubt on his face, he greeted with a smile.

"Ah, I'm back, Cellulo. I found clues about someone else, and this time it must be. Although there is only one, and the information is rather vague, but if my guess is correct, it should be that guy."

The knight couldn't hide his excitement and greeted him, raised the paper in his hand, and couldn't wait to get out of the way first, looking left and right looking for other people's traces.

"Where are the head and Feitan? Haven't they returned yet?"

"Huh, really? That's great."

Cellulu was stunned for a moment, and then she showed a happy smile. The intelligence gathering of the knights has not progressed very much. There are many fake news and wrong news. The results of several confirmations are indeed disappointing, but this time the knight is so sure, it seems to be really valuable news, Cellulu continued to reply while thinking.

"Mr. Chrollo, rest upstairs, Feitan hasn't come back yet."

"What's the matter, what are you talking about?"

At the corner of the stairs, there was Chrollo's voice. The two looked up and saw Chrollo dressed in casual clothes, brushing his loose forehead, and walking down the stairs with ease.

"Captain, look at this report and see if my thoughts are correct."

Following Chrollo to the sofa, the knight restrained his excitement, handed out the report in his hand, and sought advice.

"It turns out that my opinion is the same as yours. It should be that Ilumi beat the enemy."

Quickly browsing the content, Chrollo tapped lightly on the column of the final conclusion on the knight paper, raised his head, and affirmed his thoughts.

"Really? The next step is the actual confirmation. Hey, it seems that a change in thinking is still necessary. If I could have noticed these phenomena earlier, it would not have been delayed until now."

The knight seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then he muttered a little sadly,

"Is it the news from Ilumi? How did the knight find it? And are you sure it's him?"

Cellulo looked curiously at the paper in Chrollo's hand, turned to look at the knight, and asked with a puzzled face.

"Haven't I been focusing on the talents that have stood out recently in various organizations? But you also know that the effect is not good. The head of the regiment told me later that I should think from a different angle. However, this world is too chaotic, death, Assassinations, gang fights and small-scale conflicts happen every day, and the flow of information is not very smooth, so it is almost impossible to find information about a single person, and I don’t know how to start.”

The knight recalled with a little emotion. Seeing that Cellulu was waiting intently for the next sentence, he smiled and continued to explain.

"So, I can only browse through every news that has happened in the last four months in the Carter chart, trying to find some unusual points, or unusual common points, etc. Well, it's really a bit of a needle in a haystack, but , I finally found it, although each of them is an inconspicuous incident, but when connected, it is obvious, Captain, show that piece of paper to Cellulu."

The knight gestured towards Chrollo.

Chrollo took out one of the pieces of paper and handed it to the girl, and Cellulu took it. On the paper was a reduced-scale map of the central area, the continent of Akton and the continent of Aslan, one left and one right, opposite each other, in the middle of them There is a long black line, which represents the sea of ​​death. Almost at a glance, Cellulo noticed an eye-catching dense red dot pattern, which was distributed in a corner to the west of Akton. Although it is small, if it is projected to the actual area, it is already quite a wide range.

"This is•••"

Looking up from the paper, Cellulu looked at the knight in a vague way. It must not be Illumi's whereabouts. Didn't the knight just say that it is impossible for him to track him?

"Many organizations near these locations have experienced changes in power in the past four months, and more than 90 percent of them are not caused by gang fights or internal feuds, the most common cause. It was because a senior cadre within the organization died suddenly and had to be replaced by someone below."

There was a smile on the lips of the knight, and his eyes were shining, revealing and analyzing in an orderly manner.

Hearing this, Cellulu opened her eyes slightly and realized it instantly.

"Is it an assassination?"

"Well, in fact, the causes of death are not the same. Assassinations only account for a small number of people. Most people die by accident or in a seemingly normal way of dying. If you look at each of them individually, it may not be worth paying attention to, but together, it is very suspicious. , too coincidental."

The knight shrugged and denied part of it.

Noticing Cellulu's confused and ignorant expression, she didn't seem to understand what it had to do with Illumi, Chrollo added.

"When the power changes, the most taboo is the internal turmoil in the organization. The person who succeeds, or assumes that it is the entrusting party, if you don't want to cause a violent backlash or attract other organizational changes, you must clear yourself at the beginning. Therefore, it is very likely that I hope that the entrusted person will adopt a concealed method of death to avoid suspicion. I remember that the client who entrusted to beat the enemy Hakka can indeed specify the method of death of the target under the condition of additional payment. "

After some analysis, Cellulu also reacted, with a sudden realization on her face.

"Hehe, but, I really admire Ilumi Beaten the enemy, those who died, including heart attack, drowning, gun misfire, car accident, there are any reasons, even the wind died immediately, hehe, I really want to know how Ilumi beat the enemy, should it be said to be a professional?"

The knight suddenly laughed softly, his eyes narrowed, his fists folded, his index finger pressed his lips lightly, with a bit of ambiguity and sneering, after Cellulu was stunned for a moment, her face also blushed uncomfortably.

"Well, in short, after I found this common point when I searched the records, I drew the range on the map according to the distribution of those organizations, and then formed the bitmap. From the map, Illumi • Beating the enemy is moving inland in a roundabout way, and the destination below is most likely in these areas."

The knight tilted his head to look at the commander. Chrollo took out another piece of paper from the report and spread it out on the coffee table. Cellulu leaned over and found that it was already a detailed map of the western region of the Akton Continent. Now, in several extended directions of the original bitmap, there are presumed routes drawn with red water pen.

"Unfortunately, although I know the general location, but the specific whereabouts, we still have to go and search on the spot."

The knight sighed. Although he was a big step closer, he was still one step away.

"I'll go find him."

Celluloid said suddenly.

"Indeed, Cellulo's ability is more suitable to find someone, but Feitan and I may not be able to accompany you."

Chrollo pondered for a while. Although he agreed with Celluloid's idea, he had some other concerns. He and Feitan were both in the probation period. If there were no assignments above, they could not leave Carter easily, although He doesn't care about this rule at all, but on the premise that the overall mission is still unclear, giving up an already relatively solid position and power, as well as a generous intelligence source, seems to be a bit of a loss.

"Since that's the case, I can't let you go alone. It's too dangerous, so I'll follow."

Of course, the knight understands Chrollo's thoughts, but for him, this is just right, he doesn't have those concerns, because he is directly under Chrollo, as long as Chrollo issues an order, there is no reason for others to interfere. , so the knight volunteered to say.

"Well~ no need, I'll do it alone, the knights should stay here and continue to search for information. Going with me will delay finding other people. If you keep dragging it on, everyone will be impatient, and don't worry about mine. Safety issues, I have the ability to protect myself."

Cellulu thought for a while, and finally smiled and shook her head and refused.

"Is it really not necessary?"

Although he knew that what Celluloid said was reasonable, the knight was still a little disappointed and worried.

"Celullu, the theory you said last time is not bad. I hope you can really do it. Don't be careless."

Chrollo pondered for a while, and reminded him by knocking sideways.

"kindness."

The girl smiled and gave the guarantee, seeing this, the knight had no choice but to give up. Feitan, who came back later, learned the news, but the matter had already been finalized, so he also just awkwardly gave a few words of advice that sounded unpleasant, but was actually pertinent.

Without further ado, the next day, Celluloid put the map, food, drinking water, and hundreds of records sent by Chrollo as money substitutes in the bag, put on the cloak, and was ready to set off. Set off.

"Whether you find it or not, you must come back and report it after a month."

Before leaving, Chrollo instructed the girl that the magnetic storm that spreads across the world makes long-distance communication impossible, and the dissemination of information can only be achieved through manpower.

"Yes, I know."

Cellulu nodded, turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something and stopped.

"What's the matter, did you forget something?"

The knight asked suspiciously.

Cellulu looked at the house that was still clean and tidy, and then looked at the three men who didn't really care about hygiene, covered her mouth with her hands, and said with a smile.

"Well, before I leave, I have a small request that I hope you will agree to. For the sake of my obligation to help you as a free Filipino maid, please remember to continue the effort I told you before, and don't let me When I come back, I will see another unsightly house, okay?"

Although the girl smiled, the smile hidden in the shadows still made the three men clearly feel the little threat hidden in it. I couldn't help but shuddered, recalling the origin of 'the effort of raising a hand'.

The knights know that they really don't pay much attention to the cleanliness of the house. Well, who cares about that in Meteor Street, as long as they can live there, although after the first instant noodle tragedy, it made Cellulu furious. , but the knights and the others still didn't consider this issue as a problem, and the knights always felt that Cellulu didn't really care, perhaps because when they lived together, he always did what he wanted. He lives in a normal way of life, and Feitan has confirmed that Celluloid doesn't care about his hygiene at all.

But obviously the knight has forgotten the fact that one man is sloppy, it is not a problem for Cellulu, and the two men are sloppy, well, the workload is a bit heavier, but the three men are sloppy, the pair of women living inside , is simply an endless abyss. The knight did notice a little, that Celluloid was following them almost nonstop to clean up, maybe it was really unbearable, so, one day, the three men saw Cellulu incarnate as Prajna again. There was a strange no wind in the room, and the cold wind actually made a strange whimper sound in the small place, accompanied by the inexplicable cooling with a strong sense of reality, the girl's hair also miraculously flew behind her, as if carrying a Spiritually twisting, attached to the entire house, except for a few living people, all the objects shook violently up and down, flying in the air, that scene, that person, really seemed to be haunted, and the knight is still like this. feel.

All the kitchen knives in the kitchen greeted them mercilessly. Although the knights and the others nimbly avoided them, the dull sound of the kitchen knives slamming into the wall and slamming into the ground made the knights and the others realize after shock. By then, Cellulu was completely mad, her words had lost her usual politeness, and her voice had completely lost its usual softness.

"Hey, I'm not asking too much, really, it's all a little effort, the dirty clothes, after taking them off, put them in the bamboo basket in the washing room, waste paper and waste, if you are too lazy to move your noble steps and throw them into the kitchen The trash can, then throw it in a fixed position in each room. It’s not difficult depending on your accuracy and strength. As for books, since Chrollo likes the sofa so much, don’t move the nest, and put those books as well. Put it there. Knight, you like the corner by the window, then stay there, put all your parts there, don't let me see them appear in other places! Feitan, the game is over, if you don't clean it up , but don't spread those CDs all over the floor, fix me in front of the crystal display. Finally, after eating, your tableware has two endings, one is a bucket, the other is a trash can, there is no third Choose, understand? It's just these requirements, it's very simple, if you can't even do this, I'm sorry, I think it's better for me to leave here and find another place to live."

In short, in the end, of course, they accepted this condition without objection. After all, it was not too much. After the head of the regiment smiled, he followed suit. Although Feitan muttered, he seemed unwilling, but, Looking at his sharpness, he didn't feel that way at all. The knight has also reflected on himself, and it seems that he is not very considerate of the results of Celluloid's labor, but has restrained a lot.

After that, of course, the weather was calm, and he had never seen Cellulu in the state of a female ghost for the third time.

"Don't worry, Celluloid, I'll remember."

"cut."

Feitan tilted his head and snorted, as a default.

With the assurances from the two of them, Cellulu looked at Chrollo, he smiled innocently and warmly, well, it should be trustworthy. She put her palms together in peace, and Cellulo smiled brightly.

"You can understand, that's great, I'm leaving."

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

Cellulu made a long jump, from the northern area of ​​Aslan where Carter was located, to the presumed starting point of the knight, the outer country of an inland town west of Akton. It was deserted and uninhabited, so Cellulu waited here relaxedly. As the symptoms of dizziness and vomiting gradually eased, it took more than two hours for Cellulu to confirm that her body was fine. She did not enter the city, but after finding a puddle, she concentrated on thinking about Illumi. , activated the water mirror, if it was a small town, she was confident that she could still cover it completely and find the trace of the other party.

There were ripples in the puddle, but in the end, the ripples did not form any ripples, so they dissipated directly, and calm was restored. Cellulu regained her strength and muttered to herself.

"It doesn't seem to be here, where is the next one?"

After taking out the map and flattening it, Celluloid extended her finger along the current area, all the way to the north.

"Well, two more cities to the north, if not, go back to this origin, then two cities to the east, if still not, then go back to this starting point, two cities to the west, this is the first circle of search Well, the second lap starts from the last city in the north, two cities to the north, if not, it goes back to the last city in the west, and two cities to the west, and so on.”

Cellulu thought for a while, this should be the most difficult way to find it, put away the map, and once again disappeared in the twisted space.

The frequent use of long-distance jumping and water mirrors is quite a burden on the body and mind. It took three days to complete the search for celluloid in the first lap, and starting from the second lap, because the distance between cities gradually increased. The reason is that the cities that Celluloid can search for in one day are limited to two cities in one direction.

After a hard day's work, Celluloid, who had found nothing, went back to the last area of ​​the east to search again. She wearily stepped into this town named Koke. This area is very strange. She used to When she came, the place had not yet developed, or in other words, the entire layout of Niflheim had changed a lot. In her gradually fading memory, what she thought was a town turned into an abandoned garbage dump. Originally a desolate and no-man’s land, it became a lively gathering place. Because of the gap with her memory, her long-distance jumping also lost her accuracy. From time to time, she would make landing mistakes or attract the attention of others. It also led to a decrease in her search speed and accumulation of fatigue.

Wrapped in a thick cloak, Cellulu walked into an accommodation exchange on the corner of the street, lowered her head, lowered her voice, and tried her best to keep a low profile. She exchanged four records for a separate small room. Unfortunately, she wanted to take a bath. But she had to go to the attached public bathhouse. Cellulu endured it for a while, she couldn't take it anymore, and finally she took a shower with a basin and a towel.

When she came out, she was in the hallway in a refreshing suit, and she met the owner of the store. The two passed each other indifferently. After she returned to the room calmly, she relaxed her muscles slightly. , remembering that the food for tonight and tomorrow morning hadn't arrived yet, after taking out two records, Cellulu packed her bags again and went to the record exchange in the town to exchange for food.

In the record exchange, a few people were sparsely exchanging and receiving food. Cellulo basically didn't wait much, and it was her turn. After a five-year-old man accepted her record, he asked impatiently.

"What to replace?"

"Two loaves."

Cellulo deliberately said harshly.

The man turned around and rummaged in the back box, then straightened up impatiently, scolding and complaining,

"Well? Out of stock? Damn, it's really troublesome, I'm about to call it a day, and this kind of thing happens, boy, wait."

After looking back at Cellulu in disgust, the man walked into the warehouse at the back. He threw it out.

"Go on, boy."

She quickly took the bread, and Cellulu left the exchange without looking back, but she didn't know that after she walked away, the man stared at her with a strange light in his eyes.

After returning to the store, after eating the bread, Celluloid was on guard, closed her eyes, and slowly fell asleep. After three hours, the door was suddenly pushed open, and three men walked in, facing the lying Celluloid on the bed walked over, but the girl did not respond at all.

"How is it, not bad, it's a rare good thing recently."

Rubbing his hands and smiling, the man with a flattering face is the owner of this shop.

"It looks so-so, it's still a little far from the good stuff. Forget it, this year's indicators are not enough, and this is barely enough."

A man frowned, not seeming particularly satisfied, turned his head, and walked out of the room after instructing the last man.

"Take her away."

In the end, the man picked up Celluloid according to his words, but it turned out to be the man from the record exchange. He took out a purse from his arms and threw it at the shopkeeper.

"Take it, your reward."

The shopkeeper's eyes radiated greed, and he couldn't wait to open the purse. After seeing the record inside, he smiled.

"Is this a bit less?"

"Ah? What's missing? You said that this is a good thing, I believed you, and I ended up using the best hallucinogen. It is colorless and tasteless, and it can't be tested no matter what, the effect is lasting, and the human body will not The ultimate hallucinogen that produces any kind of rejection and strange feeling, in the end, it's not worth it at all, do you know how expensive that hallucinogen is? It's pretty good to give you this number!"

The man's face was shaking, his eyes were widening, and he shouted fiercely.

"Yes, it was my fault."

The shop owner hurriedly sent a smile on his face, sending him respectfully all the way, watching the man lead the girl out of the gate, jump on the floating car, and drive away.

Three days later, Duluth, a town to the south, 400 kilometers away from Cork Town, welcomed an androgynous young man with long black hair flowing in the wind.
