Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Chapter 98: Journey to Another World: Prison Stars and Clouds (11)

"Then, please leave the target's photo, basic information and deposit here at the same time and place tomorrow, and I will collect the rest after a week."

According to the old rules, after Ilumi said the rules according to the script, he planned to leave, but was stopped by the other party.

"Ah, this, Grant Castella rarely shows up, and his status in the Rose Alliance is quite special, so I don't have his photo. Although the other information is a little bit, it may not be particularly complete."

Morris seemed to look at him with a little unease, which made Illumi suddenly have a premonition of suffering. He raised a finger and said in a distressed voice.

"This is very disturbing. It is your duty to provide enough information."

The killer's contrasting expression and tone did not surprise Morris, because his years of experience in rolling and crawling down made him intuitively feel the dissatisfaction hidden in the other party's distressed tone. He calmed down, used his eloquence that he had cultivated over the years, and began to negotiate.

"Yes, I know, that's why I bought Castile's life at the price of 5,000 records. Mr. Beaten is a professional in this industry. It should be clear that even a senior cadre of the council is not worth it. That's the right price. Indeed, I really hope that the other party will die, but I can't do it with my own strength, so I entrust Mr. Ilumi. These money represent my determination, then please beat the enemy too. You can continue with professional ethics, as for the lack of intelligence, I will fully cooperate with you so that you can beat the enemy to achieve your goal.”

Illumi stared blankly at the other party. Well, he can be sure now that the deal is a loss. Although generally speaking, the lack of information does not make it particularly difficult for him to assassinate a senior cadre at this price. He made a profit, but he was still very unhappy. Who let the other party give money so easily at the beginning, he thought he had found a bad guy. Who knows that is not the case. His current mood is like he thought he had found a piece of gold. , But, who knows, it is a piece of gold-plated silver, even if you still make money, but there is still a difference, hey~, Illumi sighed in his heart.

Morris observed the other party's face, but he found that it was obviously impossible to see any emotion from the paralyzed face, so he had to ask again.

"Mr. Enemy, I don't know...

"How to cooperate?"

Morris was stunned for a moment, then reacted, he said quickly.

"The day after tomorrow will be the year-end review meeting held by the Rose Alliance. Grant Castella will definitely attend, and the Badu family is also one of the participating members. I can take you in at that time, and Mr. Beaten can confirm the other party's status at that time. face, and other defenses."

Illumi made an assessment. The day after tomorrow happened to be almost the end of his task. When he got the information, it was time to leave the city and go to the next area to search. He nodded and replied.

"Can."

After Morris left, Illumi returned to his hiding place, and after solving the people's livelihood problem a little, he began to read the report he received recently. The content of the book is basically the same, but the information on finding people with tail-swallowing snake bracelets is complicated and trivial, and the conclusions are usually ambiguous. Illumi has searched for it several times, but the result is the wrong person. Quick browse After that, he saw a suspected message again in a report, which briefly recorded such a paragraph.

[About half a month ago, a man with a tail-swallowing snake bracelet appeared in the town of Cork in the north. After a short stay, he disappeared. According to an incomplete investigation, he was suspected of going to Rosa. 】

This content is very vague, mindless, and the wording is quite reserved. Illumi frowned. Is this considered perfunctory? After remembering the name of the organization, he read the reports submitted by other organizations again, and was surprised to find that at least half of the reports mentioned similar information. The contents of the reports were very vague, as if they were avoiding something, and there was only one report, which gave clear hints.

[The specific whereabouts may refer to the year-end review meeting of the Rose Alliance. 】

Luosha, the Rose Alliance, and the year-end review meeting are actually linked to the next task. It’s a coincidence. If someone else can be found, it will kill two birds with one stone. What will it be? He tapped his cheek, a little curious.

The day after tomorrow, sitting in Morris's floating car and heading to Illumi in Rocha, I got this answer.

"This, you will know when you go."

Maurice's face was a little ugly, with a gesture of disgust and avoidance, which reminded Illumi of those reports with the same wording and avoidance, and couldn't help but deepen his curiosity.

After driving for three hours, they arrived at Luosha. Looking at the city scenery outside the car window, Ilumi's big cat's eyes couldn't help but get bigger.

There is only one green plant in the city - roses, which are planted overwhelmingly throughout the city. Those roses seem to be mutant varieties, each as tall as a tree, and the vines are also unusually sturdy. In order to resist the harsh environment, the outside is still carefully A huge transparent glass cover was put on, and the roses in the middle were extraordinarily delicate and blooming. Without exception, each rose was dark red. However, Illumi always felt that the color was a little uncomfortable, and it was as sticky as blood.

The buildings on both sides of the road are all in luxurious and classical palace style. The corners are inlaid with golden piping, and the exquisite reliefs are lifelike.

Beautiful fountains can be seen everywhere on the street. The white water column is illuminated by sufficient street lights, and even in the dark night, it also flashes colorful light. Most of the white marble statues are carved into beautiful teenagers with different shapes and graceful postures. , girl, just right to decorate the street.

A city full of splendor and art, it is hard to believe that it is on a prison planet, Illumi couldn't help but comment.

"What a gorgeous city."

"Damn, what's so gorgeous in such a hairy place!"

For his words, Morris spat fiercely, stepped on the accelerator vigorously, and the floating car jumped forward.

"Bone towering?"

Illumi asked suspiciously, but Morris was silent again.

The floating car drove towards the outskirts of the city. Gradually, a huge silver hemispherical building could be clearly seen, like a half-cut egg shell, standing on the outskirts of the city. Along the way, there were also more floating cars. There was an endless stream, all heading towards that building.

When approaching the silver sphere, a barricade and a guard post appeared at the front of the road. The vehicle's speed suddenly slowed down, and it slowly followed behind the previous car. Morris stopped before driving to the guard post and showed a After the metal card, Ilumi saw the other party scan it and waved to indicate that they could pass.

The floating car followed the internal signs and personnel guidance all the way, and finally parked in an above-ground parking lot outside the silver sphere.

Morris adjusted his suit and tie, and after cleaning his appearance, he said to Illumi.

"There is the main venue of the review meeting I said. The defense measures are very strict. You can inspect it on the spot. Let's go, let's go in."

Illumi glanced at the building in front of him. There was only one entrance. Infrared detectors and monitors were hanging overhead. There were defensive lasers on both sides of the gate. Start, seal the door, and there are four or five guards in front of the door, each with a security inspection instrument in their hands, scanning the guests one by one.

Illumi walked up with Morris, calmly watching the metal detector swept past them, and the energy detector followed. There was no difference, and they were allowed to pass. Illumi did not bring any weapons, because Morris had said before that it was almost impossible to do it at the review meeting, because of the outrageous defensive measures, although Illumi had reservations about this opinion, but When the situation is unclear, he doesn't need to take unnecessary risks. Besides, if he really wants to do something, his hand is already the best weapon.

Inside the door is a long metal corridor. Illumi observed it. It is also necessary to have infrared rays, monitors and lasers. A metal door blocked the way. Morris stepped forward and faced a small beside him. said the small screen.

"I'm Carter Morris of the Badu family, followed by the entourage, Ethan Ford."

Ethan Ford was a pseudonym that Morris gave to Illumi, because many senior cadres of the organization knew his life.

"Voiceprint confirmed, matched, iris confirmed, matched, skeletal confirmed, matched, confirmed as Carter Morris himself of the Badu family."

A clear simulated human voice sounded, and then, above Illumi, a transparent light was projected, covering him. Illumi moved uncomfortably, resisted the urge to avoid it, and accepted that. The light swept across from head to toe.

"Ethan Ford, the skeleton registration is confirmed, the iris registration is confirmed, the Badu family, the two confirm the release."

As the voice fell again, the door opened silently.

It was still a small space inside. An elevator stopped in front of them. After walking in, the elevator automatically closed the door and began to descend. During the short run, neither of them spoke, and silence spread in the small space.

With a ding, the door opened, and I stepped out of the elevator. Illumi looked forward. It was like an opera house. At the very front, there was a huge stage. A bright beam of light was projected from above, surrounded by tables and chairs. With this stage, a semi-circle is formed, and the arrangement is loose and comfortable. A lot of people have gathered in the hall, most of them are sitting, because of this structure, there are basically no people walking around, there is a buzzing sound in the venue, but it is not noisy.

Morris didn't go to sit on the chairs that were very close to the stage, but found a seat in the back, and Illumi sat next to him.

Morris only seemed to relax at this time, he explained to Illumi with a wry smile.

"There is another reason why I don't want you to take action at the review meeting. It is the central computer identification just now. This is a part of the responsibility tracking system of the Rose Alliance. Once it is recorded by the computer, it will be automatically recorded according to your heat source response. Your location, once something happens, as long as you check it, you will know immediately."

"Too much trouble."

In response, Illumi just replied succinctly.

After waiting for almost half an hour, it seemed that everyone had gathered. Suddenly, all the light sources above their heads went out, leaving only a beam of light in the center of the stage. Illumi waited, not knowing what to see.

A man in a black suit came up with a thick stack of paper in his hand. After standing in the light beam, he started to read the report in his hand with a serious face after giving some usual welcome speech.

"The 436 year annual report of the imperial calendar, •••••••• This year's index completion has slightly decreased compared with previous years. Compared with the previous five years, the absolute number has decreased by 0.7%, 2.3%, and 4.5% year-on-year, respectively. , 6.7%, 7.1%. It can be seen from the figures that the overall situation is unfavorable. This is only the absolute value of objective figures. In terms of the quality of goods, there has been a sharp decline.••••••, this year's A total of 763 pieces of goods were received, 58% of which were provided by the Rose Alliance, 0.005% by the •••••Durus Bardo family, •••••• of which one was a premium product, 312 first-class products, and two There are 23 pieces of goods that cannot be used for commodity trading, and the quality of defective products has increased by 3.8% year-on-year.•••••••••••”

The boring and lengthy speech made Ilumi feel a strong sense of humor after being shocked. The strict security measures, the vague and evasive attitude towards the judges in countless reports, and the hidden anger that Morris did not want to mention made him imagine countless. The dark possibility, as a result, what did he see? An extremely serious business meeting?

"What is this? Year-end business summary meeting?

Facing Illumi's somewhat speechless and mocking tone, Morris simply replied.

"No, the following is the point."

"The next step is the second link. Each organization will distribute the vested interests in the coming year. In accordance with the principles of openness, fairness, and fairness, the distribution data will be announced by the method of displaying the actual goods. Of course, according to the routine, the goods can be properly intercepted. This year, the overall proportion is not allowed. If it exceeds 5%, we will adjust the goods out of the warehouse after calculating the will of each organization, and the auction of the third link will be held tomorrow."

After the master of ceremonies read the report aloud, he said something that Illumi was puzzled by again, but he didn't care anymore.

"Then, let's start with the Rose Alliance first. There are a total of 442 pieces of goods, including 265 first-class products and 177 second-class products. According to the quantity and quality, the Rose Alliance can obtain 67% of the vested interests." On the stage, the emcee brought said with great enthusiasm.

"Huh? I thought that special item must also be provided by the Rose Alliance."

"That's right, there are no goods below the second grade. I guess it was all raised by Grant Castella."

"Isn't it comparable in terms of quantity and quality? This year, they are the ones taking the lead again. As expected of a council member organization, they are incomparable to small organizations like us~"

"Forget it, it's not bad for people to think of giving us a drink of soup after eating meat. The materials obtained from this transaction are not included in the overall budget for Niflheim. Everyone knows it well, boring. It is the right way to make a fortune, and if this matter is to be stabbed out, everyone will be finished."

With his extraordinary ear, Ilumi heard a few whispers. On the stage, a group of beautiful teenagers and girls came up one after another, followed by all kinds of strange animals. When they came on stage, the emcee quickly began to introduce them, including some basic data such as appearance, race, age, and grade.

Seeing this familiar posture, Ilumi finally understood that this is actually a mutated population and rare species trade fair. However, compared to the general trade, the focus here is on the internal relationship between the suppliers. coordination of interests.

After he figured it out, Ilumi also lost interest, and indifferently watched the organization names being reported one by one, and then the 'goods' were displayed one by one, but, suddenly, he realized that these scenes were actually very inconsistent.

Every man and woman who came to the stage had bright, bright, elegant, or hearty smiles on their faces, and their movements were performed naturally without any reluctance at all. The animals were not restrained, but they seemed to have Spiritually, all of them lined up in an unusually tame and obedient manner, and climbed up from the edge of the stage in sequence. Even some species that were obviously natural enemies of each other, as if turning a blind eye, lived together peacefully.

This kind of abnormality made Ilumi narrow his eyes slightly, but he suppressed his curiosity before he raised his curiosity. All this had nothing to do with him, so he continued to look at it calmly.

"Finally, it's the only special display this year, provided by the Cork Town Hell Two-Headed Wolf Organization, and they can get 0.5% of the vested interest."

The master of ceremonies finally brought the atmosphere to the final climax, but when the voice fell, there were boos one after another, and the whispering gradually increased. From time to time, several shouts questioning the unfair distribution could be heard. Facing the waves of opposition, at this time , a man stepped up again from the corner of the stage, and almost at the same time, Morris' voice full of hatred sounded in Illumi's ear.

"That's him, Grant Castilla!"

Illumi looked over, and the moment he saw it clearly, he subconsciously felt a burst of disgust. Illumi was a little confused, not knowing why he suddenly had such a violent reaction for no reason, he looked up and down the other side , A man in his forties, he is average in length, but he is dressed a little more elegantly and gorgeously, nothing special, what is it that makes him so unhappy, Ilumi stares at each other thoughtfully, suddenly a flash of inspiration Flash, it's breath, this man and Elliott have a similar feeling, both with a twisted perverted feeling, noticing this, Illumi's brows are imperceptibly slightly wrinkled by a centimeter.

Grant's voice echoed in the venue, as expected by Illumi, full of hypocritical hypocrisy.

"Let me explain, I personally appreciate this special product very much, so I am going to take this artwork. Since it will not be shipped to the public, the distribution of vested interests of the Hell Two-Headed Wolf Organization will not change, but , As compensation, I am willing to take 30% of my private vested interests to provide it to the Hell Two-Headed Wolf Organization, and add that I can take 45% of the 67% vested interests of the Rose Alliance."

Grant's face was bound to win, and his suggestion gradually reduced the opposition below, and finally disappeared. Grant smiled in satisfaction, snapped his fingers and said.

"Then, please enjoy this artistic gem."

The only beam of light in the venue dimmed, and the entire venue was plunged into darkness. Then, a melodious sound of ancient silk and bamboo gradually flowed out, and the lights also turned on. After reaching enough brightness, Ilumi saw the huge display stand. Above, the black curtain that had been behind the emcee had been raised, revealing the set behind it.

This is a simulated Japanese-style courtyard. The ground is covered with fine white snow-like stones, and the exquisite precious stones are stacked in a random pattern. A vermilion arch bridge crosses the courtyard, and the ancient stone lanterns stand at the end of the bridge. A few wooden steps lead to an elegant pavilion with bamboo strips hanging above the eaves.

A girl in a cumbersome long-sleeved kimono walked slowly out from the depths. She was blocked by bamboo strips. The girl couldn't see above her chest. All she could see was the gorgeous red and purple kimono printed with a large number of gorgeous peonies and rattan flowers. Illumi's heart suddenly jumped violently, and that figure seemed familiar.

The girl's figure was completely exposed, and Illumi felt that her breathing seemed to be stagnant. A golden paper fan with bright red patterns was held in the girl's hand, covering the entire face, but it was scattered around. The water-colored hair behind him was so familiar that it was difficult for him to mistake it.

Illumi stared blankly at the girl in front of her. After walking down the steps, she began to dance slowly on the fine white sand. Her movements were elegant, and her every move had a demure charm and refined temperament. She danced for a while. , the girl gently removed the fan on her face, revealing a delicate face, a shallow smile, blooming on her lips, like a lily trembling in the wind, pure, innocent, innocent, and so of nature.

There was a chorus of doubts and boos from the audience again, pulling Illumi's mind back, just in time to hear Grant's smug explanation.

"Are you wondering why such an ordinary girl is a premium? Now I'll show you the evidence."

The light dimmed, then turned on again. This time the light was much more dazzling than before. Illumi couldn't help but squinted his eyes slightly. Just like the sun, he thought to himself. Then, he suddenly reacted. He immediately turned towards the girl. Looking at it, sure enough, the girl's hair and eyes have taken off their camouflage and are constantly changing colors.

"This light completely simulates the sunlight in nature. Under this light, the hair and eyes of this artwork will have a discoloration effect. This is a masterpiece of God and a miracle of nature.•••”

Grant's face was intoxicated, and he kept talking there excitedly, and there was a timely exclamation from below.

In the face of all this, the familiar girl still smiled innocently, her smile was so hazy and joyful, as if she had never foreseen everything that would happen in the future.

It was indeed celluloid, but it shouldn't be, at least the celluloid he knew would never be able to dance obediently even if it was sold, not to mention, Illumi couldn't believe it. Cellulo could actually laugh like that, and, more than anything else, she exposed her hair and eyes without any hesitation.

Illumi finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

"Is she, those goods, under control?"

"It's inconvenient here, we'll talk about it when we're gone."

Morris just whispered back.

Dazzlingly fluttering ┊ Flower dance

Feel the cherry blossoms ┊

The face of you in the moonlight is ┊

It floated and disappeared.

In that park that I've been waiting for

I'm looking for a shadow to wave my hand, but ┊

Touching the wind cheeks someday ┊

It will tell you about spring ┊

A row of cherry blossom trees that shines blue ┊

Flower light is soft ┊ Hanazukuri lanterns

Follow you away from you ┊ Sakubetsu-kun Osamu-kun

Looking for the moon I saw that day ┊

In the flower in the drawer ┊ Withered flower

While holding in the past ┊ Past events

The falling flowers are ┊

Spring tears taught by you ┊ Haruo Auntie

Shining like a flower ┊ Similar flowers

Let's live in the wind ┊

The moon will fill up ┊ Waiting month

It's far and far ... ┊ Nasho Haruka Haruka Haruka ...

Brightly illuminate ┊ Teru Ryosuke

The same thoughts under the cherry blossoms ┊

The person who stood ┊

Beyond this time ┊ Nowadays space-time

The shadows of the two will gently overlap.
