[Hunter] Red Eye and Doll

When I went to check their 'corpses', I happened to meet Kurapika...

"..." Lala just stood beside him quietly.

"I can't believe it..." he said.

"Yes, me too".

——After standing there for a long time, Kurapika rushed into the venue.At this time, the last auction item happened to be auctioned——

【Fiery red eyes】

"!"

Kurapika stared at the pile of fiery red eyes with wide eyes and panted...

Lala on the side called Wright Nostra, "It's me, Cardia, the master. The killer who beat up the Hakka just now has killed the leader of the brigade, so the auction will continue as usual.

Red Eye is being auctioned now, will you buy it? "

[of course!No matter how much it costs, you must get it]

"Then, the upper limit of the budget?"

[No, it doesn't matter how much it costs, mark it down! ]

"As you order, my lord."

Lara turned to look at Kurapika and nodded.

Kurapika was instructed to start bidding with others...

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Three hundred and six thousand!"

"Three hundred and seven thousand!"

"Three hundred and nine thousand!"

"[-] million!" Kurapika suddenly raised the price.

At this time, someone bid "billion".

"!"

Kurapika looked back abruptly, and it turned out that it was Wright Nostra's deadly enemy who was against him.

"... Kurapika" Lara shook her head, indicating that she would handle the man and let him continue bidding.

"I see." He nodded and turned to continue bidding.

——In the end, Lala used the Grudge's marionette to make him turn around and leave the venue... Kurapika was able to photograph Red Eye for a billion and one thousand dollars.

When she went to get the red eye, Lara could tell that Kurapika's eyes had lost their brilliance.This made her very worried...

After taking the red eye, Kurapika gave it to Lara "Sorry... I'll wash my face first".

After he left, Lalazai carefully observed the fiery red eyes in his hand...

Well, I can't feel the anger, pain, and despair in the red eyes at all.

It really is a fake...

I used [Ning] to look at it, and found that this thing was copied with the ability of thought.And there seems to be a [circle] effect on it...

It seems that someone in the brigade can do such a thing.

This is very dangerous for 'Fiery Red Eye'.

"Sorry to keep you waiting……"

When Kurapika came out, he walked towards the hospital with red eyes as if he had lost his soul...

After handing the red eyes to Nion, Kurapika came to the rooftop, and Lala followed.

When she walked up to Kurapika, he leaned on her shoulder disregarding his image, "Sorry Lala... just let me... lean on like this..."

"You can lean on as long as you want, you don't need to say sorry to me..." Then Lala changed her position and hugged him so that he could lean on more comfortably.

"It's okay... I'm here."

No matter what happens... I will protect you.

This is an agreement between Miss Christine and me...it is also my own wish.

------------

The next day, Kurapika made an appointment with Lara and Jay to meet in a certain park.

"Kurapica! Cardia-san!"

Seeing them, Xiaojie excitedly sprayed the leftovers of food in his mouth on Qi Ya's face...

He went over to Kurapika and said "that's great".

"Eh?"

"The spider is dead, now you can finally concentrate on what you want to do most. You need to find the eyes that were robbed by other companions as soon as possible."

"Little Jie..."

While the two of them were talking, Kiya threw an apple pie in Jack-Jack's face.

"Hey--!"

"Who told you to do it first, it's revenge!"

"I didn't mean to!"

Then Xiaojie and Qiya started throwing food at each other...

"Hehehe..."

Watching their interaction, Kurapika couldn't help laughing.

"..."

It was rare for Kurapika to smile, and Lara felt very relieved.

She wants to protect this smile...

Regardless of whether I can accompany him to the end, I sincerely hope that Kurapika can keep smiling like this without worry.

——Then the five of them, including Leorio, made an appointment to meet at the hotel.

Xiaojie said happily, "All of us are finally together again!"

After chatting for a while, Xiaojie asked about Kurapika and Lala's mindfulness training.Kurapika explained his abilities to them, including 【Constraints and Oaths】.

"My telekinetic ability can be said to come entirely from my hatred of the brigade. It is useless to people outside the brigade. I only tell you about this, please don't spread it."

Suddenly, Qi Ya stood up and shouted, "Why did you tell us such an important thing!"

"You ask why..."

Kurapika was stunned and said, "Maybe it's because the head of the brigade died, so I'm finally relieved..."

Leorio said that it is necessary to be so excited?As long as a few of them don't say no, is it all right?

Qi Ya said, "This is too bad. Among their surviving members, there is a woman who can read other people's memories. If she finds out about it, you will lose your chance of winning against the brigade!"

Xiaojie on the side said, "But she didn't notice when we were arrested."

"Because at that time we didn't know that the Chain Hand they were looking for was Kurapika!"

Leorio asked, "As long as we don't take the initiative to approach them? After all, they have investigated and know that you don't know."

"..."

Lara was silent from beginning to end.

I heard how Qi Ya and Xiaojie were captured by the brigade, as well as the abilities of some members.Makes me feel compelled to step up.

Actually being able to read people's memories, although it probably won't work for me...but let's be careful first.

Having said that, the (fake) red eyes I took before...

There is also the matter of Miss Nion losing her ability to read (Lara's eyes are very special, she can see what happened to other people's bodies), most likely it is the good deed of the team leader who can steal the ability to read.

And I'm pretty sure that leader should have already done a fortune-telling for his crew... That said, Kurapika is dangerous now!

This is the first time Lala feels so helpless and at a loss...

If it was her before... Maybe she wouldn't have these feelings.However, ever since I met Kurapika...meet Jay and the others, I have gradually become myself.

So what I'm going to do next must not involve them!

That's what I intended from the beginning.

"Lala... Lala..."

Hearing Kurapika's call, she came back to her senses and asked, "Huh? What's wrong?"

Leorie frowned and said, "What's the matter, didn't you hear a word we said just now? About the confrontation with the brigade, you didn't hear such an important thing..."

Seeing that something was wrong with her, Kurapika asked worriedly, "Lara, are you alright?"

"Sorry... I'm not in the right state. I'll leave for a while."

Lala left without saying a word.

Xiaojie asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Qi Ya looked at her leaving back and wondered, "Isn't she a puppet? Is she still feeling unwell?"

"Lara..." Kurapika didn't know what was wrong with her.

——After leaving that room, Lala ran all the way to the rooftop.Then, she took out her mobile phone and called someone.

[Hello, Cardia?Is there a problem? ]

It was Charles' voice on the phone...

Hearing her voice, Lala suddenly felt powerless and knelt down and said in a weeping voice——

"Xarsang...please...help me!"

[...]

It was the first time she heard Lala asking her for help so sincerely, what happened...

[Tell me Lala...what the hell happened? ]

So, Lala told Charles all the ins and outs and part of her 'plan'.

[What? !You're going to kill the Phantom Troupe! ]

Visibly taken aback, Charles suddenly remembered that she had become interested in the Phantom Troupe not long after she walked out of Martel.It turns out that everything is for the survivor of the Kuruta clan...

After thinking about it, she finally asked

[Then... how can I help you? ]

------------

After calming down, I cleared my mind and planned to solve the problems one by one.First, those (false) red eyes.

There is a [circle] effect on it, which means that people on the journey will definitely come to the door... After seeing it, I can only move my red eyes to a safe place and wait for them to come.

[Boom boom boom...]

At this time, the sky started to rain...

——Back to the hotel, Lala finds Red Eye.It is currently guarded by Skuwala.

"Main maid? Why do you..."

Lara picked up Red Eye, and briefly explained to him, "It's fake. There are marks of [Circle] on it, and I'm afraid the brigade did it. They will most likely come here, so don't tell Kurapika."

Skuwala was at a loss when he heard it, "Huh? But the brigade has already..."

"They are not dead".

"What!!!" This startled him.

Lala stared at him coldly, "If you don't want to die, stay here or leave. I will attract their attention."

"But! Head maid...!"

"You still have Arisa to take care of, don't you?" Lala retorted to the point where he had nothing to say.

Before leaving, she said to Skuwala, "Being alive is more important than anything else..."

—Shortly after Lara left, Kurapika called Skuwala and told him to leave the hotel immediately.

"But... the head maid, Cardia, came here just now and took Red Eye away."

[What? ! ]

"And she said..." Skuwala felt that Lara was in danger and told Kurapika everything regardless of her words.

"!!!" Kurapika was shocked again, and became more and more worried about Lala's safety.

[...Then do you know where she went? ]

"Sorry, I don't know..."

[I see... you should leave the hotel first]

After hanging up the phone, Kurapika gritted his teeth and said, "Damn..."

Lala, what is she thinking!

Alone against them is a very dangerous move!

—— Lala who walked out of the hotel continued to drive forward aimlessly until she was caught up.

One of the women "doesn't look like a chain-hand" with a gun pointed at her.

Nobunaga standing in front frowned, "Why is she a maid? Don't worry, get out of the car for me."

"I...I got it...please don't kill me!" Lala obediently let her go, pretending that she was just a weak maid.

The woman stepped forward and imprisoned her, "I have a few questions to ask you, answer them honestly... Some of your lady's bodyguards should use chains, where is he?"

"..." The moment she touched Lala, the woman frowned and felt something was wrong.

Lala said with a trembling voice, "I...I don't know! I'm just in charge of logistics...I've never seen Miss's bodyguard!"

Then she turned to Nobunaga and said "She didn't lie, no relevant memories came up".

"Huh?! You're not lying to me, Pike!" Nobunaga shouted angrily.

The long-haired boy on the side said, "It seems that the trip was in vain."

"Kill her," said Nobunaga, ready to draw his sword.

"..." Lala activated [Shadow] silently.

In the next second, countless hands stretched out from Lala's shadow to restrain the woman.

"!!!" This maid knows how to read!

When Nobunaga drew his sword, Lala had already dived into the shadow and fled the scene... leaving the three brigade members who had been tricked by her standing still.

"Damn! I was cheated!" Nobunaga was so angry that he smashed the car.

Paknotan looked at his hand and Nobunaga and said, "From the touch just now, that maid is most likely not human. No relevant memory has surfaced, maybe my telekinetic ability didn't work on her."

This is too bad, not only did he not know the identity of the chain hand, but also exposed his ability...
