Hunter's Codex

"Pfft, did you see that? The girl Franklin brought?"

"And the one with the big knife on his back."

"Our place is getting more and more lively~"

The knight was chattering alone, and Pike, who was sitting across from him, didn't speak.Rather than being unable to speak, it is better to say that he cannot get in the way, because the knight can talk to himself without restriction by himself.

The door was pushed open, Pike stood up from the sofa, "Captain."

"Well," Kurolo Luxilu turned his eyes to the knight, "You're here."

There was a smile on the corners of his lips, but his eyes were black and quiet, and he looked at the knight very sharply, as cold as a thorn.

...Like appearance but not spirit, the knight made a conclusion in his heart.But it would be impossible for Lu Xilu to completely become Kuroro.

"…did you find it?"

Kurolo Lucilu didn't even say anything, but Pike avoided it very consciously, leaving them the space to be alone.

"I found it, don't underestimate my information." Xia Ke sat up straight and opened the computer he carried with him. There were two files in the folder he clicked to open.One was found by himself, and the second was - mixed with the information that Kuroro gave him back then. (Foreshadowing of Chapter 20)

After a moment of hesitation, the knight clicked on the second document. He knew that his actions had already been calculated by Kuroro, but he had no choice but to do so—because he was too curious, the current team leader What choice will be made.

"All the people on Meteor Street are in it, and there is a very special clan among them." The knight pointed to the specially marked place, "That's the Kuruta clan, and their red eyes are quite valuable."

"Inform the spiders that we are going to have a team activity," Kurolo Ruxilu stood up.

The knight scratched his cheek in trouble, "Could it be that you want to get rid of all the people on the list?"

"have opinions?"

"Because it's very troublesome, they are all big people." Although the knight said so, there was no sense of crisis on his face filled with a bright smile, and there was no dignified look on his face.

"That's why everyone can choose the object they like to start with," Kurolo Luxilu said as lightly as a game.

"...That's true. I can't feel happy when I'm facing an object of disgust." The knight stood up and followed Kurolo Luxilu to the hall.In addition to Franklin, Feitan, Funks, Pike, and Madge who have become spiders since Meteor Street, there are also newcomers brought by Franklin-Xiao Di and the new entrant, Nobunaga.

In the noisy hall due to the selection of targets, March leaned against the wall without saying a word.

"What? Doesn't Maggie choose one?" The knight put his face in front of Maggie, and after 0.05 seconds when she expected her to come back to her senses and slap him, he took another step back.

It seems that because they are very interested in the precious red eye, everyone wants to go there to plunder, especially Feitan and Finx.

"I pass", Ma Qi's voice was not loud, but it seemed very abrupt.

"I'll go, I'll go!!" Nobunaga raised his hands high, making Feitan have the illusion that good things would be taken away.

"Hmph, with that knife of yours, I don't know if you can get it out of its sheath."

"Hey, is that short winter melon talking?"

Feitan and Nobunaga were provoked to anger at each other, "What?" "Who are you calling a short winter melon?"

The knight glanced at Ma Qi who was still silent and asked again, "Are you really not going?"

"Not interested," Maggie replied flatly.

She seemed to say something again, but Feitan and Nobunaga's loud voices completely covered her words, the knight only saw her mouth slightly opened and closed, and probably said another sentence.

"Then, let's wait for the next event to have an activity together." The knight left Ma Qi and joined Finx's persuasion activity. The knight was as warm as ever among the spiders.

"That's the way it is," March closed her eyes, and pushed out those noisy voices from her ears. The only one who could talk to her like that was Kuroro.Thinking of this, she looked at the head of the group as if nostalgic, but unfortunately it was still the same as she remembered, and the temperament she exuded was already faintly different.

The team leader led the other participating team members away. He couldn't see the back of his head. From Ma Qi's point of view, it seemed that he was carrying a certain kind of loneliness, and he always found it difficult to look away.

"Pike, didn't you go too?"

Standing quietly at the door, Pike leaned aside with his arms folded, she was always silent.

Hearing Maggie's voice, Pike replied, "The leader said, I don't need to participate in that killing game, just wait here."

After finishing speaking, Pike walked into the room, and the dark and empty ruins were filled with silence. I don't know why this reunion made March feel quite uncomfortable.

She was alone in the dead silence, in the ruins filled with darkness.

In the same year, the Kuruta tribe was exterminated, and the exterminators - who called themselves the "Phantom Brigade" - became the number S criminal in the hunter world.

"Lu Xi, Lu, this is fine..."

The sound of panting rang in his ears, like a burning alarm bell.

His throat was so thirsty, as if it was burning... so thirsty, Kurolo Lucilu opened his eyes, and what he saw was the mottled ceiling in black and white.

He remembered the scene when Kuroro died again.

He tried his best to make himself think that he, Lu Xilu, and his dearest brother had merged into one person.Now he can imitate Kuroro's tone of voice, and can guess Kuroro's behavior pattern, but he still can't forget the way Kuroro died-taking Lu Xilu's body, with that miserable touch He was buried forever in Meteor Street.

He stood up and looked out of the window, the dirty glass window vaguely reflected his current appearance - Kuroro's beautiful face with dark circles under his eyes.

Because he couldn't fall asleep at all, and he didn't like to sleep at night, he would always recall Kuroro, his warm body temperature, his wanton smile, and his soft body.

Even though he is in Kuroro's body now, he can't feel anything anymore.

Even if you hug yourself tightly, you can't feel the slightest bit of happiness that you have had in the past.

It turned out that those days in the past were so happy, and now he is deeply aware of this.

He saw his black pupils in the reflection of the glass, and involuntarily stroked the corners of his eyes.His eyes are very bright, Kuroro's eyes are very bright, even at the moment of death, they are clear and clear, not at all like the eyes of a dying person.

"Captain," Pike knocked on the door and walked in, "They're here."

"I've heard it, because...it's very noisy." Kurolo Luxilu turned his gaze out of the window again, and the white and transparent side face was revealed in front of Pike's eyes.

It's really beautiful...Pike still thinks so frankly even now.

The cold and clear beauty under the black hair has no expression, and it is impossible to see the emotion.That didn't mean there wasn't, though—Pike remembered the arc of that smile.Just like the earth sinking under the ice sheet, it will emerge in an instant.

For Pike, she stubbornly believed that the person in front of her was Kuroro, the Kuroro who had taken her in since Meteor Street, and that was enough.

After the announcement, Pike quietly pushed it out, and she came to the kitchen and brought out a large bowl.Ever since she was trained by the knight, she has been trying to cook. Whenever there is a reunion, she will bring the food she made to the former chef, the knight, to see the results of her practice.

"Oh! Pike is here!!" Finks surrounded him, he was always curious about what Pike brought out, of course he would never taste it.

"It's food again." Feitan's tone fully showed that he was not interested.

"food?"

The girl standing next to Franklin looked extremely slender, and even made a soft voice.The girl is a new member, Xiaodi.

"Food?" Nobunaga had been wiping his knife in his hand, and he put the knife into the scabbard. He also surrounded Pike curiously, just took a look at him, and immediately covered his mouth and hid aside, retching. Said, "What! That bowl is simply an unknown creature!"

Fei Tan snorted at the side, as if he was laughing at Nobunaga—but he didn't exude strong disgust like when they first met, after all, he also recognized Nobunaga's strength in action.

"Well, it seems that Parker not only pursued the taste this time, but also tried to challenge the avant-garde visual effect." Xia Ke finally concluded as if commenting, "I feel that this should be placed in the gift section of the Museum of Modern Art."

"I'll try! Let me try!"

It was an unusually tall man who pushed Finks and Nobunaga away with brute force. Although he was not the same as Franklin, who was not a species in this world, he was also a surprisingly strong existence.

"...", no one stopped the man, in a sense, only those who ate Pike and survived could join the Phantom Troupe.

Everyone was watching the man who had just become Spider No. 11, Wo Jin, watching him take a bite of the weird food in the bowl.

The knight tilted his head and asked amusedly, "Hey, how do you feel?"

The knight smiled softly, that smiling face was so radiant that Wo Jin shyly looked away.Wo Jin began to chew the food in his mouth, and his expression froze for a moment.

Wo Jin's complexion began to turn blue, and his tall body began to tremble.

"Because I ate Parker's food." Everyone looked at Wojin with a look of reason and felt uncomfortable beating his foot, his hair was shaking wildly, but when Wojin swallowed it, he returned to normal.

"...Awesome! Wojin, you are so amazing!!"

The chivalrous man's praise was too direct, and Wo Jin's face couldn't help being burned red, he could only lower his eyes and stare at the ground.

Although there were tears in the corners of Wojin's eyes, it was obviously caused by Pike's cooking, but he returned to normal so quickly, which Nobunaga also admired.

"Haha, not bad!" Nobunaga patted Wo Jinxiong's back, remembering that after being tricked by Finks to eat Parker's food, Nobunaga was in a coma for a whole day before waking up.

Wo Jin scratched his hair and said, "Although the taste is a bit strange, I have never eaten this kind of thing, and it is quite interesting."

This was probably the best comment Pike ever heard. She looked at Wo Jin with tears in her eyes, "I understand, and I will work harder to cook delicious food."

"..." After a silence, everyone retreated a few steps like birds and beasts scattered. No one wanted to be a test product of Parker's cuisine.

Only Wo Jin stood in the same place and let out a silly oh.

The knight came to Kurolo Luxilu, and said softly, "That guy named Wo Jin... is really quite nervous."

The knight is very curious, where did the leader find a talent like Wo Jin?
