[Hunter] Red Eye and Doll

After a while, there was no sign of Chirp waking up, and everyone couldn't help wondering whether he was faking a coma to delay time...or he was really dead.

Under Leorio's protest, the other party proposed a bet.

That's betting our time on whether he's dead or comatose...

Since it is still uncertain who will win and who will lose in the third game, let's start the fourth game directly.Let Leorie fight, and the opponent is the female prisoner.The content of the experiment is [Gambling].

Both parties have 50 hours each, and each time they can only bet in units of 10 hours, until one of the parties has 0 left.

The questions for betting are made by them in turn.If Leorio loses, we will lose 50 hours to leave the tower.On the contrary, if the opponent loses, the sentence of all members will be increased by another 50 years.

Kurapika looked at Leorio and said, "You have to answer carefully, if we lose the time will be shortened to 9 hours in one go".

Leorio was a little upset, "You don't have the right to say that about me. Besides, it will become like this, it's not because you refused to give him the final blow!"

"..."

Kurapika put his hands on his chest angrily and turned his head, "Alright then, I won't say anything else!"

Xiaojie persuaded the fight from the side, "Really, don't start fighting among yourself!"

"Oh..." Qi Ya sighed helplessly.

——In the end, Leorio decided to accept the gamble.

The first question is whether Zhahu is dead or alive now.

After thinking for a while, Leorio bet that he was still alive.

The next thing is to go to check, after Leorio checked his pulse, it can be confirmed that he is still alive.

But in this way, there will be a big problem... It is very likely that Chia Hu will just pretend to sleep like this.

"..."

Lala took a few steps back in silence, put her hands behind her and took off her gloves...

If Chuck is still alive in the end, I will activate one of my telekinetic abilities [The Grudge's String Puppet] to cause him to stumble and die unexpectedly.

This is the consequence of playing with the people of Mattel...

Then it was Leorio's turn to pose a question, betting on whether Chi Chi was really unconscious.

The female prisoner asked, "Then how do you confirm that he is pretending?"

"this is very simple……"

With that said, Leorio lifted Chahua up and walked to the edge of the ring, "Just push this guy down from here."

After speaking, he let go.

"Wait! Wait! I'm still awake!"

(It's now!)

La pulled the left hand hidden behind his back to activate his mind ability.

[The Resentful's Marionette]!

In an instant, several invisible threads stuck to Cha Hu's body.With one move of Lala's hand, Chirp fell down and died.

Then, the opponent seized on this point and insisted that the fight with Kurapika didn't count.

There was no other way but to continue with the fourth game.

——Of course, in the following, Leorio lost 50 hours because he underestimated the enemy (covet beauty).

Only Qi Ya is left...

When the opponent's examiner came out, Leorie immediately persuaded Qi Ya not to go, and they lost.

"Jony, the dissection expert, is the most vicious mass murderer in the history of Saba City." Lara revealed the other party's identity.

"You know what? Lala".

I nodded "Well, I read it in the newspaper before".

To be honest, I think Qi Ya can kill him in seconds.

So I turned my head to look at Qi Ya and said "no problem".

"Right, then I'll go and come back." He walked onto the ring with a relaxed look.

——The experiment started, and Chiya walked over directly and dug out Johnny's heart in the blink of an eye.

Leorio said in surprise, "What is his origin..."

Xiaojie suddenly realized, "That's right, you don't know. Qi Ya is the elite of the assassination family."

"What?! X2"

Kurapika looked back at Lara, "Then... what you studied at Kiya's house is..."

"Yes, it's the killing technique," she said blankly.

"Lala..."

——After that, everyone went into a room to consume the 50 hours Leori lost.

After entering the room, everyone chatted to pass the time.

Kurapika asked how Kita managed to goug out Johnny's heart just now.

Qi Ya slightly adjusted the shape of his hand to reveal sharp claws, "I just adjusted it a little bit, even though I'm a murderer, it's just an amateur.

[Topping] My dad is better at this kind of technique, and of course Caldia is too.Both of them won't shed even half a drop of blood when they are picked off."

Xiaojie excitedly asked Lala, "Hey, Cardia-san! Can your hands be like Qi Ya's?"

Lala shook her head, "No, I can't do it. After all, my body is different from ordinary 'people'."

"So that's how it is..."

Then Xiaojie asked again, "I've been wanting to ask for a long time since this morning, why did Kurapika call Cardia-san "Lala"?"

Leorio also interrupted, "I also want to ask. By the way, do you actually know each other?"

When I mention the name [Lala], I can't help but feel nostalgic.That was the first time I had a name of my own, and it was also the name given to me by the descendants of my most cherished 'the Lord' and Miss Christine.

"When I first met Kurapika, I didn't have a name, [Lara] was the name he gave me."

Leorio was puzzled, "No name? Didn't your parents give you one?"

I shook my head, "No...dolls don't have parents, they just have creators".

"Puppet?! X3"

Lala smiled and took off the gloves, revealing the palms with distinct spherical joints.

"Wow!" Xiaojie looked at Lala's hand in surprise.

Qi Ya also had the same expression "It's the first time I've seen it too".

以前拉拉在揍敌客家族的那段时间，她都一直在戴手套完全都没有发觉。

——Then, Lala began to tell her own story.

"I used to live in an ancient city called [Matel]".

"Martel? The Martel of [Martel's Undead]?" Leorio seemed to know something.

Lala nodded and continued, "Matel used to be called [the land abandoned by the gods]. People living in that city built houses underground in order to avoid the cruel climate and strong sunlight.

In the city of Martel, which is full of despair and suffering, and is heading for destruction, they created, even for a while, dolls that can make them forget this painful day, dolls that can dance and play songs.

Hundreds of years after that, the city was destroyed, no one came to listen to the music, only a puppet kept moving...

That's me—[Matel's Undead]".

Leorio suddenly realized, "The old man used to say that if a child is not good, Martel's undead will come and grab you and eat you."

It turned out to be an urban legend about old people lying to children.

Lala tilted her head in doubt, "I don't know how to eat people?"

"Just kidding."

Xiaojie is looking forward to hearing the next thing, "Nah, what then?"

"Hundreds of years after Martel was destroyed...One day, a little boy strayed into the ruined city".

"I know! That's Kurapika!" Xiaojie said excitedly.

I nodded and replied "Yes, that's when I met Kurapika".

Kurapika said with nostalgia, "When I met Lara, half of her face was destroyed, and she acted like a malfunctioning doll..."

Qi Ya said that after so many years, the doll will always malfunction.

"..." Lala smiled and said nothing.

Only she knows the truth of the matter.

After the story was told, everyone passed the time by doing their own things.

Kurapika wanted to chat with Lara more.

"Lala, why did you come to take the hunter exam?"

"..."

I was a little hesitant to tell him my real purpose, but...forget it.I can't put him in danger, this is also one of the young lady's last wishes.

"A few months after you left, several hunters broke into Martel. One of them was also a descendant of Martel... Later, I was adopted by that child and named [Cardia]. This She also helped me sign up for the next hunter exam."

Lara hid a lot of the process and didn't tell Kurapika.

Kurapika knows Lara's loyalty to Martel's descendants, and probably understands why she, who has never left Martel for hundreds of years...

"Really, I still want to hear your story after you left Martel."

So Lara talked about her and Xiaojie's father, Jinsang and his apprentice Kate traveling to various places.

"Kaldia-san! So you know my father!"

Xiaojie, who has a keen ear, hears about his father and pulls Lala to hear more.

——When everyone was about to go to bed at night, Lara found that Kurapika and Kiya seemed unable to fall asleep.She knew that Kiya would be fine if he didn't sleep for a few days, but Kurapika...

She asked him "would you like to sleep on my lap?"

Kurapika blushed a bit and said, "I'm not a kid anymore..."

"Really not?"

"Don't..." Kurapika turned around, not daring to look at Lala.

Seeing Kurapika's insistence, Lara smiled wryly and said, "Really... then I'll sing a lullaby."

Then she sang that immortal melody.

"Lacrimosadiesilla

Quaresurgetexfavilla

Judicandushomoreus.

Huicergoparce, Deus,

Pie Jesu Domine..."

And so the first day passed.
