In the middle of the night, Airship Ping, Youkexin City.

Standing in the night wind, Kurapika breathed a sigh of relief.Released from the long-term mental tension, he looked extremely exhausted, and his eyes were slightly out of focus.

Thinking of what happened before, he still had a vague sense of unreality.

After receiving the information from Hisoka that "the body is fake", he immediately made a decision to leave the hospital where Yuna was.After some stalking, he kidnapped Kurolo Ruxilu, and used his own mind to forcibly seal his ability.

After that, Kuroro will not only lose his ability to read, but also never be able to communicate with his team members-this is the revenge given to Kuroro by Kurapika, who is a chain killer.

In this way, the Phantom Brigade is like a spider with its head cut off, and the remaining members can no longer move as they used to.And Kurapika himself can temporarily get out of the hatred of being exterminated by the brigade.

next thing...

It is to guard against the retaliation of the members and protect the remaining partners.

When Kuroro was kidnapped earlier, when his group members were arguing, the first person who suspected it was Yuna; the reason was that "she had betrayed the brigade."If things go on like this, I'm afraid they will seek revenge on Yuna indiscriminately, and blame her for seriously injuring the regiment leader.

Thinking of this, Kurapika frowned and quickened his pace.

—He would never allow this to happen.

He had to go back to the hospital as soon as possible and see her safe with his own eyes.During the period when I was not in the ward, who knows what will happen?She was powerless and injured, so she was absolutely unable to compete with the brigade.

Thinking of Yuna leaning on the hospital bed, quietly watching the silhouette of the rainy scene outside the window, Kurapika felt inexplicably anxious in his heart.

Nervous all the way, he rushed back to the hospital where Yuna lived after counting for 10 minutes.Fortunately, the hospital looked normal. Nurses and patients' family members whispered in the corridors, and the smell of disinfectant filled everyone's noses.

Kurapika calmed down the shortness of breath caused by running, slowed down, and walked into Yuna's ward.

The moment he saw the scene in the ward, his restless heart calmed down.

The rain outside the window was still falling, pattering, turning the bustling urban neon into a distant and light mist.Yuna was leaning against the pillow, her long hair was loosely tied into a bundle, and fell softly on her shoulders; she was slowly flipping through a magazine with her fingertips, and there was a slight sound as the pages turned, but it did not disturb the silence here.

Kurapika lightened his movements and sat down on the chair next to her bed. "I'm back. How are you feeling? Is there anything I can do?"

"...You're back." Yuna looked up, showing him a very kind smile, "You can be busy with your own affairs, you don't have to come and take care of me." She put down the book, gently touched the position of the needle, It seems to be tangled whether the tape is applied crookedly.

Kurapika frowned and said, "You have no other contacts. No one can take care of you except me. Could it be that the doctor ordered Hisoka to come?"

Yuna thought for a while, then shook her head decisively, "No way."

Judging by her appearance, it seemed that she did not encounter any retaliation from the brigade, Kurapika finally breathed a sigh of relief.Once a person slackened his energy, he felt that all the exhaustion and tension accumulated earlier had flooded into his body, making his complexion look very bad.

Yuna saw his complexion suddenly turned bad, and asked in surprise, "You look very bad. Did you do something hard..."

Kurapika didn't intend to tell her his story, but said, "It's nothing, it's a family job."

"That's right. You are the bodyguard of the Nostra family." Yuna looked understanding, "The work of the gang is really tiring, and you seem to be reused by your boss..."

Yuna didn't ask any further questions, and simply believed what he said, which made Kurapika less nervous.

When he gets along with her, she feels like snow or the sea without edges and corners—without any thorny sharp protrusions, it never gives people a sense of oppression; she can melt and surge with the wind or sunshine. Move into any generous and inclusive shape.

"...It's very late." Kurapika looked at the clock on the wall, "Go to sleep. I'll watch over you in the corridor outside. If you need anything, just call me."

After speaking, Kurapika exited the ward and closed the door.

He walked to the bench and sat down, finally being able to close his eyes and take a little rest.

He had a very short dream—he dreamed of Yuna's fleeting back as if she was walking away in the mist when he saw Yuna for the first time.Those beautiful eyes that seemed to be flowing with stars, he remembered them with just a quick glance.

Then, she shed tears in front of her defenselessly.The wandering light in the galaxy turned into pouring teardrops and pearls, slowly spilling out from between her fingers, wetting the white bedding of the hospital and lighting up the dim room.

"...One day, we will meet again..."

For some reason, she was crying.It's just such a simple sentence, Kurapika doesn't understand the reason and the story behind it at all.

Thinking about it, she would never know the reason for her crying in the future.

He even said that he would never have a second chance to see that woman expressing his emotions so directly.Because in the end, they were just people who met by chance.

The dream was shallow, and Kurapika didn't fall into a deep sleep.It was also this vigilance that made him suddenly notice something in his dream—someone passed by him and walked towards Yuna's ward.

He woke up suddenly with a slight cold sweat on his forehead.

The wall clock on the wall showed that it was already five o'clock in the morning, and You Kexin's sky was about to dawn.

——The person who passed by his side just now...

Oops!

Kurapika immediately ran towards Yuna's ward.

The moment he rushed into the ward, he saw a tall black-haired man standing in front of Yuna's bed—he was bending down and reaching for Yuna's head with his hands.But the woman on the hospital bed didn't realize it, she was fast asleep.Because of the pain, even in her sleep, she kept frowning.

That man's actions seemed to take her life while she was sleeping—! !

"Stop!" Kurapika yelled angrily, fixedly staring at the black-haired man who suddenly barged in, with both hands in an attacking posture.

The body of the dark-haired man paused.However, he didn't stop, but directly dropped his palm, and slowly stroked the top of Yuna's head, his movements were surprisingly gentle.

Kurapika was stunned by this unexpected movement.

When the man turned around, Kurapika was even more astonished—the tall, expressionless man in front of him was none other than Kiya's brother, who participated in the same hunter test as himself. guest.

"Kiya's big brother...?!" Kurapika couldn't believe his eyes, "Why are you here?"

Il fans were not displeased by Kurapika's murderous intent.He leaned against the wall in a normal way, and said indifferently, "You saved Yuna, right? I thank you on her behalf, which is why I didn't kill you now - if it weren't for your kindness to Yuna, I would The moment you rush in, I will finish you off."

There was a slight cold sweat on Kurapika's neck.

Having witnessed the strength of Ilmi during the hunter exam, he knew that he might not be able to fight against it.Reason made him give up his preparations for fighting, and also put away his thoughts.

"...Are you familiar with Yuna?" Kurapika asked, "Sorry, I thought you were going to hurt her just now..."

"Yeah." Yi Ermi nodded, "I've worked hard for you these past few days, but I'm going to take her away from You Kexin, so you don't have to come here again."

Kurapika hesitated.It took a few seconds before he realized what Yiermi had said.

"Leaving Youkexin...? But, her body..." Kurapika said with a frown, "I think it's better for her not to travel long distances. It's better to recover her body here before leaving."

"I won't let her suffer." Ilmi said, her eyes fell on Kurapika without emotion, "I don't need you, an unrelated person, to give advice on these things."

Kurapika seemed to have been stabbed by something, and stepped back slightly.

After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "But at least, you should also ask Yuna..."

She has been sleeping deeply, and Kurapika is not sure if Yuna is really familiar with Ilmi.It's very possible that all of this is just Yiermi talking to herself, and Yuna doesn't want to leave with this man at all.

That's right, according to my past knowledge of Il fans, this man has a terrible desire to control, and he is not the kind of person who will patiently listen to Yuna's wishes.

As he was thinking like this, there was a sound from the hospital bed.Yuna slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the wall clock and the two men in the ward in a daze.

"...What's the situation?" She sat up while leaning on the edge, clasping her abdomen with one hand, so as not to pull the muscles around the wound.

"It's nothing. I just want to say something. During the day, I will take you out of here." Seeing that she woke up, Yi Er said bluntly, "I will ask the driver to drive more safely."

Yuna blinked and said, "Okay."

She agreed without hesitation, as if she trusted Yier fans very much.

Kurapika stared blankly at the scene in front of him, feeling an indescribable emptiness in his heart.He clenched his five fingers and then released them, remembering that he was nervously preparing for the battle against Ill fans just now, he couldn't help but feel that he was a little funny at that time.

What a waste.

but……

There was still a slight worry in his heart, and—a strange hope that he couldn't explain.

"Yuna, follow him, is it alright?" Kurapika mustered up his courage, and asked Ilmi's cold eyes suddenly, "If you want to continue to recuperate in the hospital, I will respect your wishes .”

Yuna thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

The last bit of wind outside the window also died down, and Kurapika forced a smile and said, "Yeah. That's good."

Yi Ermi withdrew her cold gaze, and said to Yuna, "It's still early. You can rest for a while, and before leaving tomorrow, I will take you to buy the agreed sympathy gift."

"Eh, really?" Yuna lay back on the pillow, her eyes sparkling, "Then I want a beautiful gem."

"Okay." Elmi said.

"Is the expensive one okay?"

"can."

"Then it's settled." Yuna smiled, retracted into the quilt, and closed her eyes.Yi Ermi reached out, touched the top of her head, and sat down casually by the bed.

Kurapika watched the scene quietly for a while, then walked lightly, and left the ward alone.

Without stopping, he walked straight through the empty corridor, followed the stairs, and went down to the hospital hall.The nurse on duty was dozing off, and several emergency patients were sitting against the wall with blank eyes.Kurapika's gaze stayed on them for a while, and then he slowly walked out of the hospital gate.

If we leave this time, we probably won't see Yuna again.

Thinking this way, he stepped forward.

The morning in Youkexin City has just arrived, the sun is gradually rising from the east, and the orange-red morning sun dyes the sky layer by layer.Standing in the morning wind, he suddenly felt that he didn't have a good rest last night, and his body was still very tired.

... Forget it, let's go back to the Nostra family.

Taking the morning train, Kurapika returned to the hotel where the Nostra family was staying.

Everything here is no different from when he left yesterday.The front desk of the hotel greeted him with a smile. There was no one in the resplendent corridor, and the road signs on the colored wallpaper pointed to the room where Nyon was resting.

Because Miss Nion Nostra was going to leave Youkexin by airship today, Nion's two maids stayed up all night and packed her luggage for Nion.

In addition to the eldest lady's own luggage, there are also a lot of cosmetics, clothing, jewelry and strange collections she bought in Youkexin, which are full of four or five large suitcases.Even so, the living room of the suite is still full of many complete packing boxes that could not be put away.Looking at the label, it should be some clothing and jewelry.

The maid, Alisa, complained annoyedly, "Where did Skuwala go? She promised to come and help... I can't finish packing now!"

Hearing the sound of the suitcase opening and closing, Kurapika's eyes were suddenly attracted by a ray of light.

It was a ring bought by Nyon, lying in a red velvet heart-shaped jewelry box, the gemstones on the ring setting shone with mysterious and seductive colors, like the dark blue night sky, and like the soft petals of violets.Such a magnificent and peculiar color, even Kurapika couldn't help but stop and want to take a closer look.

Many, many ideas sprouted in his mind.

I don't know what color this gemstone is in the sun?What kind of carving and polishing made her have such a brilliant shape?Who found her, and who had her?What kind of stage will she shine on, and in whose hands will she be destroyed?

Kurapika walked towards the ring, wanting to reach out and touch the jewelry box.

Snapped.

The half-open red velvet jewelry box was suddenly closed.

The mysterious ring was also contained in it, like a shell folded its double fans, hiding the pearl in the heart.

"Yeah, I almost forgot this." The maid Alisa picked up the jewelry box, turned and walked towards the suitcase, "And this - put it in the pink suitcase too. Favorite thing."

Thus, the red velvet jewelry box containing the mysterious gem was stuffed into the deepest part of the suitcase.Before Kurapika could get a glimpse of any of her secrets, the combination lock of the suitcase was closed, and no one could understand her anymore.

Alisa pushed the suitcase to the door and asked the doorman to move these to the car first.Turning around, she saw Kurapika standing there in a daze, and said hello politely, "Good morning, Mrs. Kurapika, the lady is still up yet....Speaking of which, where did you go last night? "

"..." Kurapika suddenly didn't know how to answer.

"I just found a place to sleep and had a dream." In the end, he said, "No one met, nothing happened.".
