"She went to the Republic of Aluka."

The man on the phone is so sure.

The ship has entered the port. This is a liner that departs from Warsaw Lanka in the evening, passes through Songyuan Lake, and arrives at the Republic of Aluka in the early morning.The valiant man looked at the ship on the lake with flashing lights, and the loudspeaker on the deck clearly sounded the sound of Sanxian.The trestle bridge was full of lanterns used for lighting, and after a while the sharp whistle of the ship's docking operation pierced the night air and reached the eardrums.

Washed hair is dry and cold to the touch like blades of grass.The young man put the handset of the mobile phone close to his ear, and tilted his head slightly: "Do you mean to go directly east through the Dokia Forest where monsters are infested? I remember that it was marked as a 3A dangerous zone by the Hunter Association. There are many professional hunters every year." Missing, and we also traced the entry records at the entrance of the forest..."

"There's no record, right?" The man on the other end of the phone chuckled, "Because it's from the sky."

The knight froze for a moment, brainstorming rapidly, logic and orderly calculation of procedures and situations at a certain abnormal frequency.The intelligence personnel in the brigade are good at searching for information, and their analysis of the offline situation is as good as others. Hearing this statement, he immediately figured it out: "She rented a hot air balloon near the forest, although the equipment has long been Aging, but a few hours of travel is still enough to support, maneuvering a hot air balloon requires professional technical ability, and few people currently use this method to cross the jungle at low altitude, especially in Dokia, which is foggy and easy to get lost."

"This girl is very confident in herself. Based on the image you describe, it's not difficult to guess her character—a man of the city, calm and bold, and eager to try danger. She didn't even say her name. It's quite interesting."

"...I'm sorry, leader, we were too careless. I didn't expect such an ordinary person to have abilities other than reading."

"It's okay, she exposed her weakness."

When the knight was thinking about what the girl's weakness was, the man on the other end of the phone covered his mouth and fell into his own thoughts. Others could only see his low and thin eyebrows, cold streamlined eyelashes, and short black hair.

"She has companions, she did not go to Warsaw Lanka alone."

Just in time for the ten o'clock departure, the first-class cabin was empty, and there were two men in white sailor suits carrying lanterns in the Japanese-style room of the second-class cabin for eight people.When the knight walked in, the two men had already fought back with sharp screams, and their heads were all decapitated under the silver-lighted sword hilt of another young man with golden eyes.

Hearing the noise here, Kuroro stopped to analyze, and couldn't help showing a clear smile: "Fei Tan must be very angry, let him make trouble."

What is this doting tone, Captain?

The knight sighed silently, dodged the splash of blood, and walked to the control room at the bow.Unsurprisingly, there were also several crew members down here, with blood flowing all over the ground. He stepped over the corpses and switched the ship to automatic mode.

"We should be able to reach the Republic of Aruka tomorrow morning, please give me instructions." He said.

Between the ship and the trestle bridge, the quiet lake surface with thousands of spots of black light like oil is gradually exposed. This solemn water surface seems to be reborn. The dripping bright red liquid is like ink smearing, and it gradually expands. .

Kuroro lowered his eyes, even the golden crystal lamp above his head could not leave the slightest trace of light in those dark black eyes.The darkness in the depths of the pupils settled down to the bottom, unable to make waves, and something faint was flickering, as if it would be swallowed by the boundless black in the next second.

He sat there quietly, and said after a long while: "Take back the reverse clock at all costs, and the others are up to you."

"Understood." The blond-haired young man raised the corners of his lips. A few seconds later, he seemed to suddenly recall something unspeakable, and said with a bitter face, "By the way, leader... I forgot to say, the location of that guy's phone is also there , do you want to inform him to gather next September?"

……

At nine o'clock in the morning, it's not time to eat, most of the shops are empty, and the waiters are standing by and chatting.One half of the street is brightly lit, and daylight penetrates into the windows of the clothing store opposite under the umbrellas.In front of the public toilet is a green apricot tree. Standing there, you can faintly hear music streaming quietly, the sound of tableware colliding, and the sound of uncorking wine bottles.

Going down the wooded stairs, two lush maple trees are nestled together, passing through the arch of a small leisure park, three luxury cars are parked in the parking lot, and there is a bar next to it.

Through the transparent glass, it can be seen that there are a bunch of people lying on the benches and benches around the bar in the house, chatting with each other, intoxicated and laughing.Some parts of at least seven or eight men were pressed together, with their arms around each other's shoulders, the solid gold buttons of their underwear exposed, and their socks removed.A young man's soles of feet were kissed, and immediately cried out delicately.

The other people in the bar didn't respond, just like beasts living on the bottom of the sea, still doing their own things.The bartender walked up to Mu Chuan and handed her a cocktail.

"It's really lively, every day is very busy." The busy bartender spoke with a young tone, "Did you come here to see the specialties of Aluka?"

The eye-catching black-haired girl was sitting in front of the bar, but no one came to strike up a conversation. She lowered her face in distress: "Ah, I didn't know it when I came to this country."

The bartender laughed, and his tone was full of teasing: "Then you are really in the right place. Our bar is well-known in Aluka, but it is not officially listed as a tourist attraction. After all, it is an underground transaction. .” He patted her on the shoulder familiarly, implying, “Underage can drink alcohol, girls are safe.”

Mu Chuan understood what he wanted to express, and smiled with the corners of his mouth up: "I saw that one of the couples on the street must be wearing earrings. Does this mean--Bottoms?"

"Ah, that's right, little girl, you understand quite well. Let me tell you, there has always been a very weird clown coming here in the past few days. Everyone is quite scared. It's about this time, and the name seems to be something..." The other party said, looking at the door, his eyes immediately fixed, "Hey, look, it's him."

A startling young man appeared at the brightly lit doorway. He was dressed in a clown costume, and his upper body was printed with patterns of clubs and diamonds from playing cards.Compared with the statues in ancient Greece, his figure is more like the bronze Apollo in the city of Olympia, with a broad chest, strong and round arms, a clean and long body, and strong and straight legs.No matter how you look at it, it is a standard Tops.

He wore makeup, his fair face was covered with stickers of water droplets and stars, his flamboyant red hair was held back by hairspray, and his face was sharp and angular.

The moment the other party entered the door, everyone in the bar stopped moving.Probably holding his breath, he was attracted by his attire, appearance and dangerous aura, and after a while, the noise resumed.

The red-haired young man glanced at the bartender, and met Mu Chuan's eyes.The girl raised a sip of the untouched cocktail and gestured towards him. The young man's slender and upturned peach eyes seemed to be bent, and a little interest appeared in the originally indifferent expression, and his body was still full of unimaginable power and mystery. Momentum, crisis is scattered in the subtle curve.

Folding his right hand together and then popping out his fingertips, he suddenly conjured up a few playing cards, and the one on top was the Ace of Hearts.

"It seems to be quite easy to talk to." Miss Wei put down her wine glass, propped her elbows on the bar, and put her palms on her cheeks to show a smile, "Isn't it?"

The bartender didn't dare to speak, picked up the ice filter on the table and cleaned it.The ice cubes in the glass collided with each other and made a crisp sound. At this moment, the sound of breaking through the air spread, and the playing cards flew towards her, aiming at her face——

"Snapped."

Stretching out her hand to slap away the hidden weapon of the attack, the black-haired girl slumped, and asked herself unhappy: "Oh, I was wrong, this guy is an idiot."

The red-haired young man had more and more poker cards in his hands. He shuffled the cards smoothly and skillfully, like a veteran magician.That originally sinister face faintly revealed a weird and perverted illusion, his walking posture was swaying and enchanting, he suddenly grinned, and sat down on the high single chair on the right side of Mu Chuan.

"Want to watch magic?" The voice was sticky, and the speed of the speech was not fast, but it gave people a kind of malice that made the skin crawl.

As he said that, regardless of whether Miss Wei agreed or not, he divided the playing cards into two piles and placed them on the bar counter: "Now, please choose one at random and remember its appearance."

It was the first time for Mu Chuan to meet someone who spoke like this, especially the word "please", which made his face blush and his heart beat.Those who knew it were performing magic tricks, those who didn’t know thought it was performing human creation on a hotel bed, although this place was not a serious place.

The little red-eyed girl silently picked out a 7 of diamonds from the deck, only looked at it for herself, and then quickly stuffed it back: "Okay."

Seeing this, the young man snorted and seemed in a good mood.Immediately he began shuffling the cards in a daze, as if he had grown eight hands.After shuffling the cards and returning them to a pile, he randomly picked four cards from the top and threw them to the dart board on the far wall, which happened to be inserted vertically in a row.And the one at the top was like the 7 of diamonds she picked out just now.

The little girl clapped her hands in unison, her slightly shy face was blushing, like a girl in love.The straight bridge of the nose, the sparkling red eyes, and the graceful curvature of the lips constituted that rare face. She said excitedly: "Mr. Magician, may I give you a hug? This glass of wine is for you. Your magic is so powerful, I adore you so much."

The other party raised an eyebrow, not looking surprised.But even though he still kept a smile on his face, his eyes were full of boredom. He shrugged, casually made a gesture of opening his arms, and glanced at the glass of pink cocktail.

The beautiful little girl hugged the young man ecstatically, then let go of her hand, and stepped back cautiously: "I should go home, or my mother will scold me."

He waved his hand, not paying attention to her movements.

Mu Chuanyu turned around, took advantage of the gap when no one was paying attention, and slowly left the stage.When she went out the gate, turned a corner, and walked towards the glass wall on the side of the bar, she suddenly tapped against the transparent wall.

Hisoka propped his head up, looking at the little girl outside the store who didn't read.Seeing him looking over, the black-haired girl immediately raised the corners of her lips, different from the shy smile in the store, it was a look of winning but implied contempt.Her face moved slightly, and the index fingers of her left and right hands touched together and then slowly separated—it was in the shape of a line.

A smile suddenly formed on the red-haired youth's mouth, full of arrogant joy.In the eyes of the little girl, at this very moment, the color of the red thread of the thought ability of "flexible love" in his hand is inevitably reflected.To be precise, that is the reason why he just succeeded in magic.

Under his gaze, Wei girl pointed to her thigh again, and when the other party reacted, she took out the men's wallet in her pocket and waved it, mouthing a conversation with him: Do you want the magician to sign for you?

—It's his wallet.

How did you steal it?

That so-called adoring embrace.

The red-haired young man tried his best to hold back his laughter, and thick shadows surrounded him maliciously.He was very happy, and the majestic joy gushed out, reaching the point where he couldn't contain it. The bartender stepped back a few steps, his face was pale, and he couldn't even speak due to the evil thoughts.

Maliciousness swept the entire bar, and everyone inside was unable to move.Hisoka raised his distorted face, his slender eyes reflected the deserted street, he couldn't help covering his face, shaking his shoulders, and laughter slipped through his fingers.

……

the other side.

Kurapika always felt that the eyes of passers-by were strange, and he touched his face in confusion, wondering if he had touched something.Coming out of the grocery store, carrying the newly purchased color contact lenses and clothes in his hands, the blond boy stood by the window and looked at his clothes for a moment.

no problem.

…Then why do people always look like they want to talk to him, but then they don’t know what they see, and then they immediately look disappointed and disillusioned?

Most of the passers-by coming and going behind him were male couples, and he didn't dislike it, but saw two young people surrounded in the reflection of the glass window: the taller one had short golden-brown hair and green eyes Gleaming with helplessness and stiffness, while the short one covered the lower half of his face with a mask, and the golden eyes revealed in the black hair gave people a fierce first impression. Horror eyes scanned the crowd, and the evil spirit released from his body made the young man look like a raging beast.

The chattering words of the crowd on the other side of the street came to my ears——

"Little brother, how about giving me a contact information?"

"I like you very much, can you try dating?"

"I can be the next one for you!"

"Are you a couple? Looks like a good match."

"It's great, it's my favorite type..."

Kurapika vaguely realized something, he looked away, and suddenly recalled what Kigawa girl said to him when he first arrived in the Republic of Aluka this morning.

[It is said that the people in this country are very enthusiastic, so be careful when you go out...ah, no need, just do it like this, they won't look for you. 】

He didn't understand what she meant then.

Now, when the blond boy glanced over the couples of male couples in the street, he noticed with sharp eyes that there was always one boy wearing earrings in every two people.Either worn on the left ear, or worn on the right ear, in short, unilateral.

An ominous premonition came to mind, and the young man with a delicate face carried a paper bag and stepped up the steps. He unnaturally asked the owner of the drink shop, "Sorry, I want to ask, what does it mean for men to wear earrings here?"

"Are you here to travel?" The other party was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly understood, and explained with a kind smile, "In our country, wearing earrings means being marked."

tagged tagged tagged...

Kurapika froze instantly, although he had almost guessed it before, but hearing this fact with his own ears was another huge blow.No wonder the girl's weird expression in the morning revealed the pride and anticipation of watching a good show.

The blush crawled down his neck to his ears, and even stained the sides of his face. With the swaying red diamond-shaped earrings, the young man's gorgeous face looked like a real beautiful girl.
