Hunter x Hunter: Kurama joins the Phantom Troupe

"Your life is in my hands now. I advise you to be honest, otherwise any words you say will become your last words." (Kurapira)

Silence answered him.

"If you want to provoke me with silence, then you're probably wrong! I'm not interested in being gentle with you right now. I'm not calm enough to ignore your provocation!" (Kurapika)

His answer was still silence.

"Kurapika, calm down! She can't take a punch from you in her current state! If she dies, Gon, Killua and the others may not be able to come back!" (Leorio)

"Why! You don't have to think about anything! Just want to die!" (Kurapika)

The answer he got was endless silence...

And at this moment, Ace's inner world is extremely wonderful.

"Let's just say, is there a possibility that... you blocked my mouth..." (Ace's wonderful inner world)

……

"It seems that the Chain Hands are disguised as hotel staff. Oh, right, call Finks and the others over immediately." (Chrollo)

"If we attack from that angle, Ace will be fine even if his left hand is injured, but if he is attacked by surprise and seriously injured, that may not be the case." (Nobunaga)

"Maybe the Chain Hand was targeting me, but for various reasons he had to change his target." (Chrollo)

"These two people really surprised me. I could only read a few words, but they understood the message that Chain Hand had given them. However, they should have known Chain Hand recently. We can infer his personality. He is rational, quick to react, mysterious in his actions, and always calmly observes the things around him." (Paknoda)

"Captain, what should we do next?" (Machi)

Kuroro held his forehead and spoke calmly.

"Let's wait until Phinks and the others come over. Once the Chain Hands take Ace away, they will definitely contact us." (Chrollo)

……

"At this moment, what is more important... From their memories, we can read the abilities and weaknesses of Chain Hand. If we tell everyone about this, we can defeat him without any effort, but in this way, Ace will most likely be killed... Die? It has been a long time since there were any casualties among the Spiders. If it weren't for Ace, Wojin might not be around anymore, but now she... will she die? Die... What exactly is her prophecy poem... The choice, is it a betrayal to say it out loud, or is it a betrayal not to say it..." (Paknoda's inner thoughts)

At this time, the door of the hall was opened for the Nth time, and Feitan, Finks and Xiake walked in.

"Captain, how is it possible? With Ace's ability, how could she be taken away?" (Fenx)

"There was a power outage just now, and she was attacked, so she didn't have time to dodge." (Nobunaga)

Kubi handed the message left by Kurapika to the three people. At this time, Feitan suddenly asked:

"Captain, why don't we just chase after them?" (Feitan)

"Machi and Pike are injured, and the other side has an accomplice at the professional hunter level." (Nobunaga)

"So..." (Feitan)

"These two brats are still worth holding as hostages. Letting them go would mean throwing away our bargaining chips with the Chain Hand. Ace is seriously injured and entangled in that chain. He probably won't be able to break free and could die at any time. If we act rashly, we may be in a passive position." (Chrollo)

"I see." (Feitan)

……

And now in Kurapika's car.

"About five years ago, when the brigade wiped out the Kurta tribe with the fiery eyes, you were already a member." (Kurapika)

His answer was still silence...

After waiting for a long time without any response, Kurapika finally couldn't suppress his emotions anymore. He pulled out the pinky chain and clamped it between his fingers, pointing the sharp sword at Ace, as if he was going to swing it down in the next second.

However, Ace just looked at it, then closed his eyes and turned his head away as if nothing had happened.

“Why is there such a heartbeat… She is the one who is forced into a desperate situation, but why can she still make such a heartbeat, without the slightest hesitation, without any fear or anxiety about death, as if… accepting death, enjoying the company of death, but why is there still a trace of unknown worry, I can’t stand it, I don’t want to listen to it!” (Melody)

At this point, Melody couldn't help but hold her head like a frightened hamster, and at this time, Ace finally spoke.

"Backed into a corner? You are the ones who are truly cornered. I am not worthy of being a hostage." (Ace)

"I hope so..." (Ace's inner thoughts)

……

And in Hotel Vegeta, the members of the troupe finally received a call from Kurapika.

Finks picked up the phone.

"Hello." (Funkus)

"I'll give you three instructions. In principle, you must obey our instructions absolutely. If you don't obey, I will kill her." (Kurapika)

"First, do not follow us. Second, do not touch the two hostages. Third, give the phone to the woman named Paknoda or your leader." (Kurapira)

"Before that, there is one thing you must at least make sure of: our companions are still alive." (Finks)

"Whatever, but this guy is pretending to be deaf and dumb now." (Kurapika)

At this moment, Ace suddenly answered the phone, and his calm tone seemed to be telling his last words.

"It's Finks, right? Don't worry about my life or death. The interests of the brigade itself are more important than my life or death." (Ace)

"By the way, if you really want to save me, why don't you all come here? Rather than killing me to vent your anger, the Chain Hand cares more about his companions..." (Ace)

Before Ace could continue speaking, his mouth was sealed again. Kurapika couldn't bear it any longer and punched Ace with such force that Ace couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.

……

On the other side, Finks was so shocked by these words that he was speechless for a long time.

After a long while, he said:

"Captain, Ace just told me that Chain Hands doesn't care about his companions. What should we do?" (Fenx)

At this moment, Kuroro was extremely anxious. He didn't dare to gamble, he didn't dare to gamble with his companions' lives on whether the news was accurate. After considering it again and again, Kuroro took a deep breath and ordered:

"Continue to communicate with each other." (Chrollo)

"Okay." (Funkus)

Then, Finks raised his phone again and said to Kurapika, who had calmed down:

"Oh, about the second instruction. The two hostages just made a scene, and we beat them up. They had several broken bones..." (Fenx)

"Is that so? Then there is no need for negotiation." (Kurapika)

Then, Kurapika hung up the phone.

Finks had no choice but to call back.

"Sorry, the two hostages I lied to you about are safe and sound. Don't touch them." (Fenx) [The desire to survive is already full]

"There won't be a next time. Don't do this kind of nonsense anymore. Transfer the call to Paknoda and the captain." (Kurapika)

The moment Paknoda picked up the phone, Finks was hit hard on the back of his head twice, by Machi and Nobunaga.

"I told you not to talk too much!" (Nobunaga)

"From now on, only you and the captain can listen, go to a farther place." (Kurapika)

……

"Do you know Skuwara? How is he now?" (Kurapika)

"It's okay, we didn't kill him." (Paknoda)

"So, let's talk about a woman named Melody." (Kurapika)

"I know." (Paknoda)

"Then it will be easy from now on." (Kurapika)

"Listen carefully. From now on, there will be no communication between you and the other members. Apart from talking, this includes notes, gestures, secret signals, eye contact, etc. Not even the slightest hint is allowed." (Kurapika)

"I'll designate the location in a moment. You and the captain will come alone. If your heartbeat shows any hesitation, I will kill her." (Kurapika)

"Yeah." (Paknoda)

"Next, it's the captain's turn." (Kurapika)

Then, Paknoda transferred the call to Kuroro.

"Next, tell the remaining ten of you to return to the base. All ten of you must be in the same place. If one of you is missing, I will kill her. Next, put the phone on hold." (Kurapika)

"The meeting place is at the forestry airport. Please arrive before 8 o'clock. Listen carefully, only the two of you can come." (Kurapika)

"Next, should we gamble..." (Chrollo)
