[Hunter] How to kill a zombie

Someone who understands her.

So... She is willing to sink into this sinful relationship.

Towards the depths, falling, falling.

It was like drowning in the dark sea that day.

Kuroro Ending: The One Who Remembers

In this world...

The flow of thinking is slow and quiet, and the light and shadow leave mottled shadows on the ground.Is it the effect of light?Or is the land already stained with different shades of color?

In this world, no one is really special.The opportunity for people to get close is always a moment of misunderstanding or illusion, a moment of beautiful feelings, expectations and visions.Wilde said that love begins with self-deception and ends with deception-and it probably has something to do with it.Goodwill is as random as a dandelion seed floating in the wind, it doesn't matter where it goes.It thinks this is a suitable place to settle down, so it settles down here, sometimes it is eaten by birds, sometimes it hangs on trees, but it doesn't matter—these are just probabilities.

No one is really special... So anyone can be replaced... But people feel insecure and always have to find some high-sounding reasons for themselves, just like they can't help but find meaning for things in this world.What is the meaning of what, what is useful and what is not.In fact, what do you think these things mean?It's all just human fantasy.

Like, for example, if Kuroro thinks she's special, why?

It might have been the same if Arthur hadn't taken her to Meteor Street, or someone else.He, like everyone else, was blinded by a momentary delusion.Kuroro wouldn't look for reasons, but he was loyal to his desires, so he might soon find out that all this was just a misunderstanding, but this kind of thinking—Zoe couldn't help thinking, might just be her wishful thinking.

So, what does she think of the knight?

In fact, it never occurred to her to organize these thoughts.She probably would never have gotten to tidying up, if at all possible.Maybe long, long after everyone died, hundreds of years later, she would get bored one day and want to look back at her memories.

This is actually the case with many things. It is easy to keep it in an unclear state and not deal with these problems.Did she ever think about spending time and energy on these things?Maybe there was, but the time passed in such a muddled way.And now... her, they have all missed that opportunity.

The knight is dead.

Kuroro was still on the phone with him on the front foot, and the two planned to find him together, but they found his and Kubi's corpses at the meeting place on the back foot.One second, Kurolo teased her jokingly, asking her how she planned to face the knight, but the next second he just stood there quietly, looking at the corpse of his companion, and the silence washed over the land like a wave. Stop there and stare.

Hisoka did it.He left a message.

Zooey looked at Kurolo because she didn't want to look at the knight.She looked at the figure of the blond youth reflected in Kuroro's black eyes.Maybe he's thinking, why Hisoka is still alive, why didn't he find out beforehand?

And she was thinking, no one in the world is special, and Kuroro is not special, so what about knights?Are knights special?

she does not know.

Maybe never will know.

But she knew one thing, that was like an inevitable premonition, the anxiety that lingered in her heart before coming here, an emotion that shouldn't belong to her, the moment she saw the corpse was like the last Bad nightmares come true.She wasn't shocked, she just felt—he felt a little stiff to the touch.

This body should be full of life, she thought, but here it is, and it's hard to separate the hands from the hanging chains, and it takes a lot of effort to break them off.Kuroro proposed to bury her. She came to help and touched the slightly cool skin. She thought that these arms were warm and soft before.These arms are very strong, but he also said that he is a non-combatant.

Part of Meteor Street likes to be buried.It is said to be "soil", but it is actually just throwing the corpse into the garbage dump or sand.But such an approach would cause the corpse to further pollute the available resources nearby, so after a while, centered on the Senate and the Church, those in power began to promote cremation.The ashes from cremation will not pollute the land, and can also be used as phosphorus fertilizer to cultivate food. In desert areas, no resources should be wasted, and the same is true for corpses.

She didn't know if Kuroro had any considerations in choosing to bury his partner with soil. They silently sprinkled the dark soil on the young man's body.They didn't speak, but she could feel Kuroro's deep-seated emotions—like flames and turbulent emotions like torrents.Is it anger, or something else?

"Xia Ke was not one of the original 11 people." Kurolo said later, when they sat in front of the graves of the two spiders.The wind carried the smell of grass and rust. "But..." He didn't go on, but remained silent.Zooey felt that maybe he didn't know what she wanted to say, so she spoke, intending to continue the conversation. "What are you going to do?"

Kuroro turned to look at her.

"Next, what do you want to do?"

There was fire in those eyes.She had never seen such a raging fire in Kuroro's eyes.

"Kill Hisoka," he said. "What about you?"

"I don't know..." She turned her head and looked into the distance.She has several options, she can go back to Kajin Country, to Youkexin, or anywhere in the world.She is free in this world, if it is what she thinks, no one is special.But when she thought this way, she felt a strong emptiness, unwillingness and lack. She thought of the knight, his stiff bones.

"me and you together."

Finally, Zooey finally said.

to revenge.

The man next to him smiled.

Boarding

The day of departure came sooner than expected.

This kind of thing seems to happen when people are immersed in a certain emotion, time passes unconsciously, and when they come to their senses, the cold winter has passed, and the hot summer comes with the breath of the sea breeze.So much has happened and so little seems to have happened.It was so much so that it was hard for Zoe to believe that the stars she and the knight saw on Greed Island had happened half a year ago, so little that she could barely remember what happened after that.

She heard the news about East Godot, and also learned about "ants" through Kuroro.She heard that Xiaojie was seriously injured and there was almost no possibility of healing, but in the end he saved his life.She heard that Leorio almost became the president of the Hunter Association, and finally competed with Pallistone...

Celidonish also sent people to look for her traces, but Zoe knew that her ability was born for this.If she doesn't want to be found, no one can find her.

Except Kurolo.

Kuroro has a certain degree of immunity to her abilities because of her de-mind.After that she almost acted with this man.Together, the two searched for clues about the Black Whale and the way to board the ship, because he didn't know where he knew Hisoka would be on that ship.

Many times Zoe finds it ridiculous, and she thinks that neither she nor Kurolo are very living people.She has an excuse, what is Kuroro's excuse?What made him wander the continent like a ghost?To seek, to pursue something that can never be obtained.

They also sit on park benches to rest and watch all kinds of people passing by.She knew very well that she and Kuroro probably felt similar when watching them.They seem to be looking at the world through an invisible glass. The things at the other end of the glass are close at hand but far away, making people wonder what kind of things they are.Zoe had had the chance to hold that thing in her hands, ever.

That thing called "life".

But she enjoyed her time with Kuroro.Most of the time, the two of them don't talk, just sit quietly and watch, whether it's the sky, the earth, or the restless crowd... These things look so magnificent and beautiful from a distance, as if they don't belong to this world.

They did have a lot in common, she thought, perhaps more than she had ever thought.At least they can share the same memory.

Memories of knights.

Sometimes when Kuroro sees something, he will inadvertently mention this former brigade member.The knight is responsible for collecting and integrating intelligence and data, and is the "brain" of the brigade.Zoe was quite willing to listen to him tell some stories among members of the group, and she was amazed by the vivid vitality of those stories.How about Xia Ke, how about Kube, and Pike, Wo Jin, they are all one kind of person, different people, the only thing in common is that they have left their group.

The spider's legs can only leave after death. Zooey thinks this rule is very problematic, but for some reason it is very romantic.

If there are such a group of people, only death can separate you from them... It doesn't seem to be such a bad thing.

Kuroro likes to talk about things from the past, which just started recently.Zooey felt that maybe the death of a member made him like this.The rest of the brigade would come looking for them - looking for him, but she felt that Kuroro seemed to be avoiding something.

The residents of Meteor Street are obsessed with "gaining", but "losing" is not an unfamiliar concept to them.

She has read some books about "lost", such as Banville's "The Sea".Especially in the period after losing Arthur, these books can help her gain a clearer understanding of the reality she lives in. The protagonist of "Sea"
