[Hunter] False World

is the day.

The night moon is hazy.

By the beach, a small white wooden villa is lit with warm yellow lights.

very quiet.

You can hear seabirds flapping their wings and landing in the backyard.

Through the open backyard sliding doors you can hear the crash of waves hitting the sand.

Occasionally, one or two rustling pages can be heard, not in a hurry, exactly the same as the elegant and leisurely style of a scholar.

On the side of the long mahogany table, Kuroro lowered his head slightly, holding a sheepskin-bound Grad diary in his hand, and on the table were the ancient books sent by the knight last time.July sat opposite him on the other side of the long table.

Kuroro looked down at the pages of the book, and July was lying on the table looking at him.

He turned a page, and she leaned her face against the back of her hand, blinking at the cover of the book.

He turned another page, and her neck was sore, and she continued to look at him while lying on her face with another arm.

The index finger was raised, and stopped a second before the tip of the nail was about to touch the table.Can't disturb his reading... July stared at the tips of her nails. The full and slightly long nails were trimmed cleanly. Qi Yue didn't apply nail polish. She admired it narcissistically for a while. He tapped the table with his fingertips, and rubbed back and forth on the mahogany table in boredom.

I don't know if the diary will really record the space-time channel.

I don't know if this bandit can successfully translate these ancient texts.

I don't know if the water level in the tomb can recede to the point where I can enter when the maximum ebb tide is reached.

I really want to go home.I want to tell Xia Ri that I am safe and sound.

but...

Looking down sullenly at his funny reflection on the table, Qiyue breathed out towards the table, and her face became blurred.With another breath, Kuroro's reflection on the table was also blurred.

Qiyue quietly raised her eyes to glance at the man who was studying hard, and moved her hand forward, just enough to touch the reflection of the man on the table.He took a deep breath and watched his reflection appear.Take another breath and draw a big cross on the robber's face.The fingertips lightly touched the person in the reflection, from the loose black hair to the focused eyes, slid across the bridge of the nose, and stopped on the lip line that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Qiyue was stunned, staring at the reflection for a while, until she was sure that the person in the reflection was looking at her at the moment, then she withdrew her hand stiffly, "Any new clues?"

"Not yet." Kuroro closed the book.

"The Mosorsky King's Tomb actually collapsed several centuries ago. As far as an above-ground mausoleum is concerned, it has no archaeological research value to some extent. But at the end of the last century, Grad Byron and several like-minded relic hunters organized an expedition, and this collapsed tomb happened to be on their inspection list."

"Do you remember the last time I took you to see it?" The man seemed to be unintentionally sweeping across the coffee cup that was about to bottom out.

"I remember, but didn't you just take a look at it from afar?" Looking sideways at the robber, July brought a cup of steaming coffee back, and then turned to the kitchen, "Do you want noodles for supper? The eggs are ready."

Taking a sip of coffee, Kuroro smiled and watched July put on an apron and work in the kitchen, "From the outside, people at that time thought it was an above-ground mausoleum, but based on the information we have now, in fact the mausoleum's The underground was also dug through. Glad’s expedition team guessed the location of the entrance to the underground mausoleum, and according to the speculation, they dug a passage leading to the lower floor from the ruins.”

"According to the diary records, when they entered the third underground floor for the first time, they found that the entire third floor was submerged in sea water. For this reason, they waited until the biggest low tide day of the year before re-entering the mausoleum. But in that expedition Among them, one of their team members mysteriously disappeared."

July turned the thin slices of meat with long chopsticks, and the sound was mixed with the sound of luncheon meat bursting in the oil pan from the kitchen, "The whole third floor was submerged? Wasn't it just the shallows that were dug?" Or is it that Carria has been sinking for thousands of years?"

"You can say that." The taste of the coffee was bitter and mellow, and there was a burst of fragrance from the kitchen in the living room. Kuroro put down the coffee cup and felt that he was indeed a little hungry.

"I think that if there is a passage connecting the two parallel worlds, it should exist inside the ruins, that is, the third underground floor where Grad's team members disappeared, and then himself and other search team members disappeared. If the first team member is Missing, then we can assume that the team members after that were sent by the Hunter Association to investigate the space-time channel, that's why Grad announced that there was a shocking discovery to announce."

"But the people in power at the time didn't seem to want this secret to be known to the world. In other words, because all the expedition members never returned, the follow-up on this matter has been kept strictly hidden by the Hunter Association. Except for this In this diary, we don't have any more information that we can grasp. That's why, the interior of the cave you were looking for before will be artificially dug into a labyrinth."

Using artificial excavation, but not using the "mind" ability of this world to hide the cave, so that it is not easy to attract the special attention of others; digging a maze-like passage, outsiders cannot easily enter, effectively preventing people from entering the ruins through other passages. Secret; do not use the filling method, otherwise the sea level will rise and prevent access to the secret passage for research...

July picked up the tumbling noodles in the pot and put them into a porcelain bowl. It seemed that the group of people really wanted to cover up some kind of discovery.

"You said that you were sucked into the vortex before the accident, so I speculate that the reason why you woke up in the cave far away from the ruins is because of the sea current that rushed into the passage with you. As you can imagine, the underground third party that was originally in a relatively static state layer, suddenly a sea current rushes out, and the original flow direction of the sea water is destroyed. You enter the secret passage along the changed flow direction, and finally are pushed out of the ground due to the formation of the vortex water potential. So I think, the most likely time-space channel appears The place should be a place facing the front after arriving at the ruins from the secret path."

Cracking an egg in a pan, July frowned slightly, "But the biggest low tide day this year was in March at the beginning of the year, and I have already missed it. The next large-scale low tide will be in February next year, and now it is June, which means I... ...We have to wait half a year?!"

"No need." The black eyes looked straight into the bottom of Qiyue's eyes, and there was a slight smile on the corner of the robber's mouth. When Qiyue looked over, she felt a chill down her spine, "We can dive in. If you can't swim, I can teach you. "

Kuroro stared straight at Qiyue after saying this, that kind of meaningful gaze seemed to swallow people up, but he felt burned just looking back.

Qiyue narrowed her eyes slightly, then turned her head to put the luncheon meat and fried egg into the chicken noodle soup and let out a low self-deprecating laugh.It turned out that he was thinking too much. It wasn't that he didn't want to leave by himself in the tunnel that day, but he knew that even if he walked to the end, he wouldn't find out.To say that you want to turn back is just to test the reality of your own weakness.Oh, I am really... so stupid.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Qiyue's hand reaching out to the spice rack grabbed the hot sauce bottle without hesitation.

With her back to Kuroro, the smile on her lips got deeper and deeper, and her hands had unambiguously scooped up a large spoon full of bright red hot sauce.Turn the spoon slightly, and the hot sauce is buried between the fragrant noodles.After repeating this several times, the bottom of a newly opened can of hot sauce can be seen faintly.

Hmph, Qiyue bared her teeth and snickered behind the backlight, her expression was ferocious and terrifying, but her voice was suppressed calmly, "It's a little bit spicy, try it."

Taking off her apron, when July walked out of the kitchen with hot noodle soup, her smile was as gentle as that of the most virtuous wife in the world.But if the evil thoughts can be materialized, at this moment Kuroro will definitely see the dancing, humming and laughing witch rising from behind Qiyue.

The fragrant supper was served on the table, and the robber's stomach was already growling.

"What do you think about learning to swim?" Staring at Qiyue, Kuroro smiled and put a mouthful of noodles into his mouth, then he stopped smiling.

Qiyue snickered and took a sneak peek into the bowl, just in time, the robber stuffed a big mouthful of chili buried in the top layer into his mouth.deserve it!Ha ha!Tell him to look straight at him!I thought how murderous that look was!Tell him to try to play tricks!

Sitting down opposite Kuroro, Qiyue dragged his chin and looked at him happily, "Wait for swimming, Xi Suo asked me to go to the snow mountain, and I will go play with him for two months and come back to learn swimming. It's true You, don’t you like supper? Or is it that the dignified bandit leader can’t bear the spiciness?”

Kuroro's smile froze on his lips, the mouthful of hot sauce just now filled his mouth like a fire, and the pungent spicy taste rushed into the nasal cavity and trachea.He coughed twice, and saw the woman sitting across from him shaking her head with joy...

But the bandit leader is a bandit leader after all, so he couldn't be bothered with a mouthful of spicy sauce. After chewing it hard, Ku Luoluo swallowed a mouthful of hot sauce.He just wanted to ask about Hisoka, but Qiyue applauded him vigorously.

"Kurolo! It's amazing!" Qiyue grinned evilly, "I knew this spicy food was nothing to you! And I remember you said that food is very precious and will never be wasted , really worthy of being a bandit leader!"

Listening to July, Ku Luoluo threw a barrage of compliments at him, numbly picked up the noodle soup in the bowl with chopsticks in his right hand, and stirred it twice, only to see a bowl of fresh seafood noodle soup was immediately stained blood red ...

At that moment, Qiyue happily saw cracks appearing on Kuroro's face that never showed emotion, there was a faint twitch between the brows, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the hand holding the chopsticks visibly stiffened and trembled for a microsecond.

Looking "affectionately" at the bandit leader opposite, during the whole process of enjoying the delicious supper in Kuroro in July, he "kindly" showed him the entire row of eight white teeth.And every time Kuroro puts a chopstick of bright red noodle soup into his mouth, Qiyue can feel that he is cutting himself into pieces with his eyes.But it didn't matter, she was still shaking her head happily because she got him wrong.

Swallowing the last chopsticks of blood-red noodles, Kuroro felt smoke coming from his throat.

He smiled at Qiyue, with a cold look in his eyes, "Sisuo, cough, did Xi Suo ask you to go to the snow mountain? Cough...heh, I will go too."

Qiyue, who was shaking her head, suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.

Because there is no Hisoka, and there is no snow mountain, she just made up a reason because she didn't want to be arrested to learn swimming, which is impossible to learn.She was sure that Kuroro didn't want to be alone with Hisoka, but she forgot about it, and Kuroro was also sure that she and Hisoka had no intersection.

Just as she was thinking about how to answer, July's phone started beating happily on the desktop.The screen flashes to show an incoming customer call.July picks up the phone and sticks it to her ear, only to hear a monstrous voice coming out of the phone's receiver with the final syllable.

"Hmm~ Little July~~? You haven't forgotten our agreement, have you?~~~ The airship will go to the snow mountain tomorrow afternoon~?"

Qiyue was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows at Kuroro and smiled extremely flirtatiously, "Sisuo~ Your team leader said that he is going too~~"
