Hunter x Hunter: Kurama joins the Phantom Troupe

"Amenos..." (Ace)

Walking on the streets of Youkexin, Ace silently collapsed...

"Lost again..." (Ace)

[Unethical navigation map serves you]

"Hou Lixie, I really can't live without navigation... Where on earth should I go..." (Ace)

Just around a bend, she saw several familiar figures.

She shouted to several people:

"Franklin, Nobunaga and Kubi?! How have you been doing these days?" (Ace)

The three turned around and saw Ace.

Franklin pointed behind her.

"Not bad." (Nobunaga)

"Behind you." (Franklin)

Ace turned his head and looked behind him in confusion.

"Behind me? What's wrong?" (Ace)

Then she saw Xiaodi walking towards her.

"It's Xiaodi." (Ace)

Xiaodi waved her hand as a greeting.

"You are lost again." (Franklin)

Ace smiled awkwardly, grabbed Xiaodi's hand and followed the three of them.

"Hahahaha... I guess so." (Ace) [awkward laughter]

Franklin turned and left.

"Let us go." (Franklin)

……

The five people followed a highway to the suburbs, and along the way they did not forget to discuss the purpose of this mission.

"Is the temporary base still in the same place as last time?" (Ace)

"Yes." (Franklin)

"By the way, the leader didn't seem to tell me what the goal of this mission is." (Xiao Di)

"So it won't be the same as the last time... a no-prize contest?" (Nobunaga)

"Although the ostensible target is the Nosra family's auction, since the entire group is gathered together, there must be other enemies..."

"It's the captain's bad taste again... By the way, Ace, don't you know either?" (Franklin)

"I..." (Ace)

Ace knew it, but...

But she promised the leader and the knight not to reveal it...

"I don't know." (Ace)

Xiaodi tilted her head and looked at Ace...

"You're sweating..." (Xiao Di)

"Ah... Really..." (Ace) [Very quietly]

Ace reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Franklin stroked his forehead helplessly like an elder...

"Alas, you really can't tell a lie..." (Franklin)

"Although I can't..." (Franklin's inner voice)

[Author: Franklin 33... In a way, he is truly an "elder" in the brigade... (He stands out among a group of teenagers... There are only three people over 33 in the entire brigade... Finks (33), Franklin (30), and Peeler ().)]

"The captain detained mine...嘤嘤嘤..." (Ace)

"It was seized by the captain... so you probably can't get it back." (Xiao Di)

"Last time my pudding was stolen by the leader..." (Xiao Di)

"I've been tricked by the leader again..." (Ace)

"Wuwuwu (┯_┯), my...why didn't you say so earlier..." (Ace)

Ace wanted to cry but had no tears, he mourned for himself...

……

In a hotel in Youkexin, Kurapika, who had not appeared for a long time, was sitting at his desk, dealing with the matters at hand with great anxiety.

Basho and Melody beside him couldn't help but worry about Kurapika's health...

"Is it really okay for that kid to fight so hard?" (Basho)

Basho muttered quietly, Melody's superior hearing allowed him to save the trouble of bending over.

"After all, there's no way to stop him, right?" (Melody)

"We can't just let him work so hard... anyone would be worn out by it..." (Basho)

"I have advised him, but he won't listen now... Maybe he will feel better after this auction is over..." (Melody)

Basho sighed...

"I don't know why the young lady can't use her prophetic powers. The boss is now going crazy in his room every day. The entire organization depends on that kid alone..." (Basho)

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open by Skuvara.

"Master, this gentleman said he wants to discuss something important with you." (Skuwara)

[We are saying that with his IQ, Kula baby has become the second in command in less than half a year. If his clan had not been exterminated... Alas... You old thief, you have such a ruthless knife...]

Kurapika looked up from the pile of documents, looking tired, as if he was about to collapse in the next second...

"I've already told you that I need to deal with the auction now. If it's successful, the organization will be in a much better situation." (Kurapika)

"So, don't bother me for now." (Kurapika)

Seeing that Kurapika was about to chase him away, Skuwara gritted his teeth and hesitated for a while before dropping a bombshell...

"The man said... it had something to do with spiders..." (Skuvala)

Hearing the word spider, Melody and Basho recalled that "very beautiful" memory...

Kurapika immediately raised his head, his fiery red eyes behind his contact lenses activated instantly, and he whispered:

"The Phantom Troupe..." (Kurapika)

[Ace: "Beautiful" memories keep flooding into my mind, and Youke Xin's miserable condition gradually comes back to my mind... Wait, author, you're not going to kill me with the plot again this time, are you?!]

[Author: How is that possible? Hahahaha (awkward laugh)... Which of your chapters is not killed by the plot...]

[Ace: Greed Island?]

[Author: Teamfights don’t count.]

[I dreamed of Youkexin being beaten up by Wojin and Kurapika…]

……

"I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Kurapika." (Gert)

"I'm sorry to bother you when you're so busy." (Gert)

Gert smiled as he looked at Kurapika, who looked a little haggard.

Ever since the Phantom Troupe caused a big disturbance in Yukeshin and the Ten Old Men were assassinated by the Zoldycki family, the power in the gang world has been reshuffled. The Nosra family, which has developed to a status second only to the Ten Old Men, has stabilized its current position with the help of Kurapika.

But the Nosra family is ultimately just an empty shell that relies on Nion's prophetic power. Without Nion, it would be a huge undertaking to stabilize the Nosra family's position...

Nosra, the boss, is unreliable, and the responsibility falls on Kurapika alone...

Kurapika used this opportunity to climb up to the nominal "second in command", the actual boss, and obtained a large amount of information about the brigade and Red Eyes through the Nosra family's huge intelligence network...

However, it was so difficult for him to support the entire organization alone... He had been away from home for the past six months, and had fallen ill countless times due to overwork. Compared to the Hunter Exam, he was almost two different people...

Gert knew all this information, so he didn't dare to underestimate the guy in front of him. Every word and action was carefully planned...

Kurapika propped up his head and took a sip of coffee to wake himself up.

"Stop being polite." (Kurapika)

Gert put a sugar cube in his coffee and stirred it with a spoon.

"In that case... I'll be frank." (Gert)

"I wonder if you know that the Phantom Troupe has come to Yokoshin again." (Gert)

Hearing the name of the Phantom Troupe, Kurapika's expression changed significantly, and the melancholy temperament on his whole body became even stronger...

Gert noticed the change in Kurapika and felt that an opportunity had come, so he proposed the idea of ​​cooperation.

"I believe you will understand that this is not a coincidence, right... Tomorrow is the underground auction held by your Nosra family..." (Gert)

"I don't need to say who their target is." (Gert)

"Three years ago, the tragedy of the "Warin Family" occurred in the Republic of Bartochia. I wonder if you know about it..." (Gert)

Kurapika pondered for a moment...

"Of course, the method of committing the crime is the same as the several large-scale massacres that occurred a few years ago. It is very likely that it was done by the same person..." (Kurapika)

"And there was a message from the murderer in the base of the Warin family saying "We accept nothing, so don't take a penny from us". It's hard not to think of... Spider..." (Kurapika)

[Mr. Ai: My battle record is being used to criticize me again?!]

"But... so what?" (Kurapika)

"So, Mr. Kurapika, don't you think you are in a very dangerous situation right now?" (Gert)

Gert stretched out his right hand, wanting to shake hands...

"The Nosra family can no longer withstand any blows. This auction is probably your last chance to turn the tables, right? We, the "catchers," hope to cooperate with you..." (Gert)

"You provide the opportunity and the information about the brigade in the dark web, and we will catch the brigade in the next two days..." (Gert)

"He can't do that..." (Kurapika's inner voice)

Kurapika didn't waste any more time, he stood up and walked towards the office upstairs.

Gert reached out to stop Kurapika, but was forced back by Kurapika's chains...

Kurapika walked up the stairs and turned around to leave a message...

"If all the catchers are of your level, you should just give up and go home to sleep." (Kurapika)

Then continue upstairs.

Phantom Troupe...

Kurapika now has very complicated feelings towards the brigade...

First of all, there is absolute hatred...

He wanted to skin and bone every member of the brigade, but...but, Kurapika didn't want to kill anyone...

If they were just a bunch of scum who enjoyed killing, Kurapika might be able to kill them without any psychological burden.

However... whether it was Uzumaki's willingness to die rather than betray his companions, or Paknoda's willingness to risk his life to save others, they were both telling Kurapika...

"Go to hell, idiot..." (Wo Jin)

"I do..." (Paknoda)

They also have their own cherished people...

Some guys even feel remorse for their actions...

"If this can calm you down... My life is here, you can come and take it anytime." (Ace)

This made Kurapika extremely distressed...

The hatred of genocide made him want to seek revenge, but the conscience and unwillingness in his heart hindered him...

Therefore, he would rather be busy with other things, such as retrieving the Red Eyes lost by his tribe members, rather than thinking about how to deal with the brigade...

"What should I do..." (Kurapika)

Kurapika leaned against the wall in a state of collapse, his fiery red eyes throbbing in his eye sockets, and all kinds of emotions filled his heart, almost tearing him apart...

At this moment, a beautiful flute sounded beside his ears, and he was temporarily immersed in the beautiful melody of the music...

When the music stopped, Kurapika felt much better...

"Are you feeling better? New song..." (melody)

Melody put the flute back and looked at Kurapika.

Kurapika looked back at Melody and smiled for the first time in a long time.

"Thank you, Melody." (Kurapika)

……

The leader looked at the members gathered in front of him, slowly stood up, and closed the ancient book in his hand...

"Has everyone still not guessed the real target this time?" (Chrollo)

Except for the knights who participated in the planning, the other members all had ugly faces...

"Captain, how can we guess without any information?" (Wo Jin)

The captain raised a triumphant smile.

"1. Bring me back the treasures from the Nosra Family Auction..." (Chrollo)

"2. Kill the catcher for me..." (Chrollo)

"The information will be sent to you by the knight. Those guys who are specially marked must be brought back alive to me..." (Kuroro)

"The rest doesn't matter, I'll do whatever it takes... Xiaodi, Feitan, come with me." (Chrollo)

After the leader finished speaking, he turned and left. Feitan and Xiaodi also stood up and followed the leader out...
