[Hunter] Red Eye and Doll

After everything was over, Kurapika quit his job at Nostra's house and came to the address on the letter.

Before leaving, Skuwala came to see him off.

"I'm really grateful to the head maid. If it wasn't for her, I might have... Arisa also asked me to convey, and I have always thanked the head maid for taking care of the two sisters."

"Um……"

Kurapika nodded slightly to show he understood.

It is said that Skuwala and Arisa are going to get married and leave here, and Kurapika and Lala said to them: "I wish you happiness".

——At the airport, Kurapika parted ways with Xiaojie and the others.

Xiaojie and Qi Ya are going to GI, while Leorio is going back to prepare for the medical university exam.

After taking several planes and trekking through mountains and rivers, he finally arrived at his destination.

It was a small house built in a forest.

It can be seen that Lala specially chose this very remote place to build...

When Kurapika took out the key and opened the door, the pure white lily bushes and 34 pairs of [Fiery Red Eyes] that were out of place on the shelf came into view.

"!" Kurapika couldn't help but widen his eyes.

So it's all here...

The eyes of the clansmen...

His eye sockets became moist immediately, and then he stretched out his hands to cover his face and said with a choked voice, "Lala, this idiot..."

How many things have you done for me...

I'm afraid it's too many to count...

——After he calmed down, he took out the 36th pair of red eyes from his backpack and put them on the shelf.

In the center of all this fiery eye, stands a statue of the Virgin.Looks like it was carved by hand... maybe Lara did it.

"..."

Seeing those fiery eyes, Kurapika knelt down and recited the Kuruta prayer from before——

"The sun in the sky, the green trees on the ground

Our bodies are born on the earth

Our souls come from heaven

The sun and the moon shine on our limbs

Greenery nourishes our body

Give this body to the wind that blows across the earth

Thank God for the miracle and the land of the Kuruta tribe

May our hearts be always in good health

I want to be able to share the joy with all my fellow man

wish to share their sorrow

Please always praise the Kuruta people

Let us testify with the red eyes..."

After praying, Kurapika walked out of the house and set a fire to burn everything up.

May all Kurutas rest in peace...

After taking one last look at the burnt house, he left without looking back.

——After that, Kurapika became a bounty hunter... It can be regarded as fulfilling what he said in the hunter exam.

Then he also made some achievements in this field.

These days, Kurapika misses Lala all the time.Every night before falling asleep, I would take a look at her [heart], and touch the earring on her right ear from time to time.

"Lala..."

I really want to... see you again.

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

【Three years later】

One day, after Kurapika finished his mission... two uninvited guests visited.

"Long time no see, since that incident..."

The one who came was Shire, and the other was Xiaojie's father—Jin Fulishi.

Kurapika looked at them very unfriendlyly, "What do you want me to do?"

"We're here..." Originally, Ciel wanted to delay getting into the topic, but Jin interrupted Ciel himself in the next second.

"Sorry, I want you to hand over Cardia's [Heart]."

"Gold!" Charles turned his head and stared at him.

"..."

After hearing their intentions, Kurapika directly rejected them, "Stop joking! Why did you give Lala's [Heart] to you?"

He will never give in on anything that concerns her.

Jin said calmly, "If there is a chance to bring her back to life, what do you think?"

"!"

What Jin said moved Kurapika's heart. To be honest, he did think about "resurrecting" Lala.But under various obstacles, he had to give up this idea.

"How? Are you going to change your mind?"

Kurapika looked at him very cautiously and asked, "Why should I trust you..."

Seeing that he was so cautious, Jin scratched his head and said it was troublesome, "It's very simple, Cardia is a doll made by Martel's technology.

Now we have discovered a secret room that may preserve their technology in the underground ruins of Martel, but the door cannot be opened no matter what.

It seems that it needs something like that guy's [heart] to open the door, do you understand me when I say this? "

"..." Kurapika understood.

If what he said was true, then Lara would be able to...

But, in case...failure...

He'd lose a part of Lara.

After struggling for a long time, Kurapika finally nodded and agreed, "I agree to temporarily hand over Lara's [heart] to you, but I also make one condition...please let me go with you."

"OK, no problem".

— without further ado, they set off for Martel at once.

"Kurapika! Long time no see!"

Xiaojie and Chiya have been waiting here for a long time. The two of them followed Kate (female/Queen Chimera) to practice.

"Ah, long time no see..."

Stepping into Martel again, Kurapika has mixed feelings in his heart... There are traces of his life with Lala.

Suddenly, those bits and pieces of memories came to his mind.

[Master human... are you awake? 】

【I'm a puppet...do you want me to sing for you...】

【Thank you……】

Lala... I'm the one who needs to thank you.

Thanks for everything you have done for me……

Now, let me do something for you.

Before heading to the underground ruins, Kurapika visits Christine's grave.

He knelt in front of his ancestor's grave and prayed, hoping to find clues to 'resurrect' Lara.

【Matel Underground Ancient Ruins】

Coming to the gate, Kurapika took out Lara's heart.

In the next second, the light from the pattern on the heart and the gate resonated with each other... Then, so did Kurapika's earrings.

[Detected the genes of [Guardian] and [Golden Angel]]

Then the door opened...

Behind the door is a wreck that looks like a laboratory, maybe the ancient Martels are here...

Shortly after Kurapika and his party entered, the main computer in the laboratory center automatically turned on.Then, a three-dimensional projector projected the figure of a little girl...

On closer inspection, this little girl looks a bit like Kurapika.

[Visitors, meeting for the first time]

[I am Christine Martel]

"!"

Kurapika was shocked to realize that the little girl in front of him was the rumored...his ancestor.

Christine looked at everyone and continued:

[I thought that one day, my descendants might come here.So before he died, he created an artificial intelligence with the memory of 'me']

Kim asked her "Miss Christine, I want to know everything about Martel from ancient times to the present. Why did a technologically advanced city end up like this".

[Before answering your question, let me tell a story]

The moment Christine waved her hand, the whole space transformed into another scene...

"Amazing!"

"Is this Martel's technology?"

Xiaojie and Qiya looked around excitedly. They looked under their feet and found that they were in the universe.

Then, a tiny satellite crashes into the Earth—

[Thousands of years ago, an object named [Yuan Xing] crashed into the earth... and then fell to the ground]

[At that time, the people of Martel discovered a special energy from the fragments of Yuan Xing, and then they launched countless researches...]

[Later, they used the fragments to make all sorts of things...including weapons]

The scene shifted to many laboratories...

[Whether it is [pure white diamond] or [pitch-black diamond] and other GEMs]

[Or [Guiding Star] and [Pipe Organ]]

[Shortly later, relying on this power, they turned the originally poor country into a technologically advanced country... However, countless wars followed]

[First [Twelve Kings War], and then [Dragon King War]...]

The screen is full of war scenes, and everyone has lost their homes.The children knelt and cried bitterly in front of the dead bodies of their parents, blood was everywhere...

This is Martel's [Dark Age].

Suddenly the lullaby rang in my ears——

[打びに立つ国の

ものがたりはおわる...

oath

world no hikari...

star ga play de ru uta

生まれかわるEra...

love するために

The last otome とねむれ...]

[The one who ended all of this was a young girl]

The screen shifts to a blond girl.

[She is a human strengthened by the GEM made from the fragments of Yuanxing, and she was empowered to end all wars with this power]

[In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, the surviving humans will seal up all the technology related to Yuan Xing]

[Only the girl or her descendants can break the seal]

[Then they tampered with other people's memories and took them to settle in the New World]

[And the scientists who think they are guilty live in seclusion here with the girls, waiting for the day they will be judged...]

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

After listening to Christine's story, Jin confirmed that the ancient Martells were residents from the [Dark Continent].

And Kurapika asked her "I want to resurrect Lara, can you give me the technology of making dolls..."

[Lara? ]

Christine stared at him for a long time before she suddenly understood and said:

[I didn't expect Miss Puppet to...]

Then she said:

[Let me tell you a fact]

[Miss Doll was originally human]

"What?!" Kurapika couldn't help being surprised that he hadn't thought about the fact that Lala was originally a human.

[That was shortly after I was born...]

In the next second, the screen switched to Martel today.

【Wow...Wow...】

The doctor came out with a baby in his arms.

Sias hurried over to hug her, and the doctor shook his head and said:

【I'm sorry, Mrs. Nei...】

At this time a man and a woman ran into the ward.

【Mother! ! X2]

Sias ignored his wife's situation, but cared about his newborn daughter after all...

[How is the qualification? 】

[As expected, taller than Miss Cardia]

【yes……】

At this moment, the girl who ran in just now walked up to the doctor and hugged the baby in his hands.

The girl looked exactly like Lara, except that her hair was light blonde.

【Father... Christine lost her mother when she was born, how could you have the heart to send her as a living sacrifice? 】

【She's still so petite...】

Sias frowned and said angrily:

【madness!What happened to the life of the entire Martel people? ! 】

【If you don’t hurry up and offer a living sacrifice...】

[Let me go! 】

Cardia spoke firmly to Sias.

【If you need a living sacrifice... I can do it too】
