Hunter's Honeymoon Handbook

"One more hour, Jay, let's talk about something."

On the sofa in the lobby of Room [-], Xingkong rested his head on Xiaojie's shoulder and sighed with satisfaction.

"Really, it took me a lot of effort to stay in a space with you calmly and have a good talk...but it's worth it."

Xiaojie lowered his head and glanced at the thumb version of Metis, who showed his figure and was sleeping soundly in the palm of the starry sky, and then tilted his head to look at the fluffy white eyelashes under the shadow of the starry sky's side face. The heart becomes soft again.

"···Um."

He responded softly.

At this time, outside the door of Room No. [-], Qi Ya, who was shut outside the door, folded his hands on his chest, closed his eyes and leaned against the door frame with his head down.

Kurapika in front of him glanced worriedly at the closed door, and walked up to Kiya, clutching his injured and broken shoulder, with a solemn expression.

"No way, Chiya, get out of the way... I still can't just leave it alone, we've gone through such torture to get here, and it's simply wiped away by his soft words—"

Kurapika raised his good hand, and slammed it heavily on the door next to Kiya's face, instantly smashing the door into a fist-sized dent.

"What if that guy lied to us again?! How many times have we been lied to by him along the way? I've had enough of being led by the nose!"

Kiya turned his head slightly, dodging Kurapika's fist, and looked up at him indifferently.

He first glanced at Kurapika, who was holding back his anger, but his eyes were already red, and then turned his head to glance at Ilmi and the others behind him, and found that there were bloodthirsty smiles on their faces.

Indeed, all the people who made it here, except for Alluka, were representatives of hunters who had a head, a head, a brain, and a temper.What Leon did to them would definitely have an endless ending in normal times, even if he had hidden secrets, he would never end up with them.

Sorry.

What's more, that guy is not so much hiding his secrets, it is better to say that he is really playing them as game characters under the pretext of having other secrets.

Only Xiaojie, a simple person, is willing to sympathize with him.

That idiot... Forget it, maybe the world will be a better place because of the existence of such an idiot.

After all, it's someone I like.

Thinking of this, Qi Ya raised his head and licked his lips.

"Kurapika, you must have heard what Xiaojie said just now, so you understand what's going on right now."

Kurapika frowned.

"But···"

"enough!"

He hesitated and wanted to continue to refute, but Qi Ya, who was clearly smiling just now, suddenly changed his expression, shouted ferociously, and directly suppressed the hesitant Kurapika.

"Do you think I like this, the person I like and the rival are in the same room, but I happily guard the door for them like a watchdog? Don't be kidding!"

Qi Ya's expression twisted instantly, but a second later, his eyes softened again.

"...But I trust Xiaojie, that alone is enough."

"Kurapika, you're also Jay's friend, why can't you trust him as usual?"

Kurapika's heart trembled slightly when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but think of what Xiaojie said a few minutes ago when he was facing them protecting Leon.

a few minutes ago.

"You can't kill Xing Kong now."

"Because if he dies now, this mirror world will really collapse."

Xiaojie stretched his arms and stood straight in front of the starry sky. Being taller than the latter, he looked like a solid wall blocking the starry sky, honest and reliable.

After Xingkong heard the words that Xiaojie blurted out, his eyes froze, and then he closed his eyes with a smile on his face.

"It really is Xiaojie, I can't hide it from you this time."

"No, you actually lied to me."

Xiaojie scratched his head and smiled.

"If it wasn't for Brother Moti's words, it wouldn't have aroused my doubts."

"He said, only I can understand what you are doing, only I can save you."

"I was thinking, is there anything about you that only I can save? It wasn't until I met Kurapika and he told me what you said on TV that I realized it."

Xingkong raised his head, silently watching Xiaojie standing in front of him.

And Qi Ya, who came to Xiaojie's side, was also watching him silently.

In the end, the impatient Bisky couldn't bear the weird atmosphere at the scene, so he couldn't help asking.

"Xiaojie, what does this mean? Ahhh, my head is about to explode. Stop talking about charades and explain it directly, otherwise we won't be optimistic about fooling around!"

She rolled up her puff sleeves with an impatient expression.

Hisoka, who has been restless behind her, also echoed with a smile: "Yes, if we don't give evidence that Xiaojie is not controlled by Leon, we will not let you go~"

Of course, after saying this, he was stared at by Qi Ya.

Xiaojie nodded.

"No problem, let me start with the timeline I organized."

Leon broadcasts to the whole city on the TV station, he will open the channels of the mirror world and the blue sea world after 108 hours, and the fact is that before the broadcast, he did control the channel of the sky arena and released a cow-shaped monster Come out, and then the demon

The beast was rushed to Kurapika and Kira together to clean up.

This left Leon with the impression that he could indeed freely manipulate the passage.

However, everyone has forgotten one thing, that is, before Leon appeared, there were sporadic monster attacks on the Bihai Continent. event.

This is unbelievable. It is impossible for Leon to plan this incident three years ago.

However, Xiaojie learned from the conversation with Leon that his ability to reproduce the channel only appeared recently, that is to say, the previous monster attack happened naturally and had nothing to do with Leon.

The real situation is that, as Leon revealed at the beginning, this 'prison' has been in disrepair for a long time and is beginning to gradually collapse.

So here comes the question, why did Leon choose to stand up knowing that the 'prison' was about to collapse, focus everyone's attention on him, and even threatened to ask everyone to kill him?

Is it just to make the channel of the mirror world collapse faster?

This is probably what everyone thinks, even Xiaojie thought so not long ago.

After all, in connection with Leon's character of fearing chaos in the world, maybe it is really possible to do this.

The change of Xiaojie's concept comes from the news that Metis is still alive.

When he was in NGL, he had witnessed the bond between Nabe and Metis with his own eyes, and he also saw their full-hearted attitude when facing their relatives, so the moment he learned that Leon was also Metis' brother, He is surprised.

After all, Nabe is willing to risk himself for Metis, willing to sacrifice his life for Bena, and Metis, as the eldest brother, is also willing to use his body to block Xiaojie's fatal punch for Bit.

And Leon, who was valued so highly by Metis, had no bad relationship with them.

If Leon really treats them as relatives, how can he have the heart to destroy the world where they are still alive?

It was obvious that the seedlings of Metis had been taken care of by him for three years before they finally blossomed and bore fruit and were reborn in the world. If Leon was really in a hurry to destroy the world, wouldn't his actions these past few years be meaningless?

But the statement that he was able to restore the channeling ability does not seem to be a lie.

"I have lived with his disguised starry sky for two years. Although I am stupid, I can't tell the difference between good intentions and malicious intentions."

No, it should be said that the intuition of beasts is far more sensitive than that of ordinary people.

However, Xingkong deceived such Xiaojie.

Xiaojie glanced at the starry sky.

"...Because this guy showed his true temperament in those two years, I will treat him as a friend. Until the end, I will feel uncomfortable because I found out that I was deceived by him."

"I agree with Brother Moti. If he wants to treat people well, then his character is absolutely impeccable. However, this does not mean that he will change his principles for me."

That is to reproduce others, so that he can live more safely, so Xingkong never regrets the fact that he reproduced Qi Ya and opposed Xiaojie and the others.

At the same time, because of the two years of getting along, he is not limited to Qiya's memory, but on this basis, he has built his own real memories with Xiaojie, and thus fell in love with Xiaojie.

He is such a contradictory person.

Starry Sky smiled and nodded.

"As expected of Xiaojie."

Qi Ya on the side stared at them silently.

At the moment when he witnessed the subtle tacit understanding between the two, he even thought that he was the one who intervened, but it was only for a moment, and after that, his heart became firm again.

Because Xiaojie, who is in the center, has never wavered in his heart, so what doubts does he have?

Xiaojie only glanced at Xingkong, then looked away.

"However, Leon, who has always wanted to live, why did he suddenly cancel Metis' role-playing card not long ago, putting himself in a disadvantageous situation?"

He glanced at the Metis potted plant on the windowsill.

Because Leon wanted Metis to truly come alive, the most critical step was to return his existence to him.

In this way, judging from his actions of helping Qi Ya and the others from the beginning, he really looks like he wants to die.

The few days that little Jie Leon stayed by his side made him extremely understand how fragile Leon is without the ability to stand in as a puppet. Even if he has the ability to cause hallucinations, he cannot control many strong minds at once.

Despite this, he also helped Qiya and the others survive, and even Metis helped Xiaojie make a substitute puppet with his tacit approval.

This means that his actual purpose is not to destroy the world, but he wants to seek death.

So what happens after he dies?

"This only means one thing. After he dies, the world will truly be destroyed."

"He's leading you to kill him."

Xiaojie sighed.

"Didn't you think that if Leon is killed, the collapse of the passage to the outside world will not stop, and the world will still be destroyed, but maybe it will be a little slower than the time Leon said."

"None of us has the ability to influence the passage between the two worlds, no, not everyone, except for one person."

"That's Leon."

Kurapika's eyes widened, and his mind suddenly cleared.

Yep, and that too.

"Why didn't I think of..."

he murmured.

Bisky and Kim looked at each other.

Hisoka snorted, and the playing cards he had been playing with his fingertips suddenly fell down.

Kuroro frowned.

Il was taken aback.

That's right, why didn't they think of it... Even though the people here are not low in IQ, why are they ignoring things that Xiaojie can think of.

Probably because their thoughts were limited to the judgment that Leon was the enemy, thus ignoring the point that his existence could actually be used as salvation.

In their imagination, Leon was an out-and-out lunatic who wanted to destroy the world.

Kuroro and others who have not participated in NGL will not understand the bond between Metis and their relatives.

Even Qi Ya, who understood, didn't know that Leon was actually one of them.

Only Xiaojie knows all the clues.

This may be the meaning of Metis helping Xiaojie.

Only Xiaojie, who has been with Xingkong for three years, can truly understand his temperament. Others will only be blinded by his capricious, weird and cunning appearance, and thus ignore his real way of doing things.

Facing the crowd with different expressions, Xing Kong covered his mouth and puffed up his cheeks to snicker.

"Pfft, because you were subconsciously influenced by me."

"Just let your subconscious mind firmly believe that 'Leon will destroy the world', and you have no time to think about other things."

"As Jie said, this is just a puzzle game of mine. You are the players I choose. Since it is a game, I will never set absolute badending. The only vitality is naturally placed by me. Jay, he was the only one who was not influenced by my subconscious."

Xingkong hugged Xiaojie's arm in attachment, and smiled at everyone.

"Ending one, after killing me, the world will still be destroyed."

"Ending [-], if you don't kill me, I will reproduce the channel ability, and then... fix it, hee hee."

How interesting this is, if Jie didn't understand my intention, but helped you kill me, you would have accepted the ending I set for you.

This is my last joke.

"Unfortunately, Jie found out, so the development of the plot may naturally be the second ending~ Although the first ending is my favorite."

Xingkong's movement of holding Xiaojie was pulled away by Qi Ya, and he didn't care, just slumped on the chair, giggling.

"So choose, choose to believe that Jie is controlled by me, just a puppet who speaks words to confuse you for me, and then kill me ~ Or choose to believe in Jie, and leave this hour for me and Jie, the two of us alone. "

"The choice is in your hands."

Kurapika clenched his fists, his heart wavering.

Reason told him that this might be another game played by Leon, but emotion told him to trust Xiaojie who had been a friend for many years.

So is what he is seeing right now real or fake?

Now he seemed to be a small boat sailing in the stormy sea, even he couldn't believe it.

When he was hesitating, a poker card suddenly shot out from the side, and went straight to Xingkong's head like a sharp arrow.

However, in the next second, Xiaojie raised his hand to catch the playing card.

Hisoka looked at the motionless starry sky, and Xiaojie who was protecting him behind him, and licked his lips.

"Well, sure enough, I look forward to Xiaojie more than Xiaoxingkong~"

"Don't keep me waiting~"

After finishing speaking, he grabbed Yi Ermi and walked out the door crookedly.

In the end, Qi Ya, who had been taciturn, moved. After taking a deep look at Xiaojie, he turned around and drove the others out of the room, expressing with actions that he chose to trust Xiaojie.

When they walked out of the room one after another, the empty scene where Xiaojie and Xingkong were alone before reappeared in Room No. [-].

Xiaojie stared blankly at the closed door.

At this time, a hand stretched out from behind him, gently grabbed his right hand, led him to the sofa, and sat down.

"It's 45 minutes."

The starry sky raised his head, his eyes passed through the bright balcony, and he looked at the distant sky with fascination.

The purple afterglow of the sky streaked across the thick chess table and hit the golden-red carpet, making the shadows of all objects long and thin.

Xingkong and Xiaojie sat side by side on the sofa where they woke up in the first place, sitting silently.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After a long time, Xingkong put his head on Xiaojie's shoulder and smiled lightly.

"It took me a lot of effort to stay in a space with you calmly and have a good talk, where do I start next..."

"Xing Kong, you will die after the replica is completed."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xiaojie suddenly interrupted.

Even if the ability to reproduce the passage of an entire world can be accomplished, it is definitely not something that can be achieved by only one person's constraints and vows.

Reminiscent of the time when I used my ability in NGL 20 years later, the powerful curse I received after the end, and I thought that the curse that Xingkong suffered could only be more than him, not less than him.

Xiaojie's curse requires his own life, and Xingkong bears the curse of a world...he can't imagine.

Xingkong was taken aback for a moment, then nodded helplessly.

"Oh, now I feel that Jie has seen through it completely. Sure enough, it's not good to know each other too well, and the sense of mystery is gone."

"No wonder people say that couples who know each other too well have a seven-year itch. I can probably understand that feeling now."

After he finished speaking, he opened his mouth again, but this time he closed it without saying anything.

In the end, Xingkong chose to continue to put his head on Xiaojie's shoulder, close his eyes, and enjoy the tranquility of this moment.

Yes.

There are many things I want to tell you.

I want to say that I am very happy. It turns out that Xiaojie still cares about me, so he finally understood my true inner thoughts.

That is, I want to destroy this world where you don't care about me, but if you care about me a little bit, you can guess my true thoughts, and then I will listen to you.

I never thought I would have such a sad day.

But as long as I see you standing in front of me, the solid back that protects me makes me dazzled and deeply infatuated.

However, you are also so cruel, even at the last moment, you are unwilling to say what I want you to say, even if you lie to me, I also want to hear you say something.

Xiaojie likes the starry sky.

But what's the use of saying it?All I can say is that we understand each other and because of that, it makes me sad.

You make me happy and you make me miserable.

It turns out that if you like someone who doesn't like you, you have to endure such suffering, even at the last moment, you can't be at peace.

The author has something to say:

This is not the end, there are two more chapters

The villain saves the world, this ending is unexpected haha

Don't wash the starry sky, because he really thinks it's a game. Although he gave enough hints, he doesn't want to save the world in his heart, but wants Xiaojie to save him

In a situation where everyone is going to kill Leon, there must be someone standing up to stop everyone.

However, in this case, only others believe the words of the person who stood up, and this person is none other than Xiaojie
