Killer of this generation

"Mother, why on earth are you doing this?"

On the terrace, Illumi stood across from Madam Kiju, and he forcefully interrupted Madam Kiju's high spirits and chatter after seeing him back to normal.His long, straight black hair hung down, and he tried his best to restrain himself from being respectful without showing any signs of attack.

Mrs. Kicho was slightly taken aback.

"What is Illumi talking about?" She raised her head from the garden chair to look at her eldest son, the feather decoration on her straw hat fluttered in the gust of mountain wind.

"Why did you send Kurt to assassinate the members of Rabbit Ears in advance?" Illumi stared straight at Madam Kiqiu with his dark and deep cat eyes, and then he handed several unpacked letters to Kiqiu, "Also, what's the matter with these threatening letters? What kind of festival did this rabbit ear organization have with you, mother?"

"How did Illumi have these letters? Who!? Who gave them to you!?" Mrs. Kicho's electronic eye screen flashed a red light, and her hands with scarlet nail polish tightly clutched the letters.

"When I was dealing with Wutong's funeral and sorting out the relics, I stopped these letters." Illumi replied truthfully, he wanted an answer or an explanation.After recovering to normal, his memories also flooded into his mind like a rising tide of sea water, and he suddenly remembered that day when his mother secretly hid outside the door to eavesdrop on him discussing rabbit ears with his father. (Author's words: see Chapter 14 for details)

"Is this Akra who wrote the threatening letter the leader of Rabbit Ears? What is the relationship between him and you?" Illumi asked bluntly.

Mrs. Kiqiu pursed her red lips, and looked away, "This is an adult's business, you children don't care about it."

"Curt is also a child, why did you send him to assassinate?" Illumi clenched, "Do you know that he suffered serious internal injuries?" (Author's note: see Chapter 40 for details. Another: Ten Chapters four and forty, well, I'm really not kidding you.)

"Are you trying to get rid of Rabbit Ears, or are you trying to protect and protect Rabbit Ears by cutting off the clues and preventing me from continuing the investigation?" As soon as these words came out, Illumi regretted this questioning whether her mother was still loyal to her father. What he said was indeed a little too much.

It was the first time I heard such disrespectful words from Illumi's mouth. Mrs. Kiqiu stood up from the chair suddenly and was so angry that she raised her palms and was about to fall down. At the moment of lightning, Illumi Mi is also ready to be beaten.

However, the slap did not come down in the end.

"Isn't that enough?! Indus is dead, Rhett is dead, isn't this enough?!" Mrs. Kiqiu didn't use her exaggerated high decibels, she stared at Illumi, who was a head taller than herself, " What exactly does Illumi want to know? Rabbit ears

That's all for now, don't worry about it! "

"Mother..." Illumi frowned and hesitated to speak, he was not sure what his mother wanted to hide.

"Ilumi," Mrs. Kiqiu cupped Ilumi's cheeks, "You worry too much about your family. Now that you have a fiancée, you should pay more attention to her."

Illumi blinked, noncommittal.

However, in the next second, Mrs. Kiju suddenly lit up her high-decibel voice and screamed, "Ahhhhhh!" She cupped her cheeks with both hands, and the electronic screen excitedly alternated red and green Bai's light beam, "Is Qiya?! Is it Qiya?! Qiya came home?!!"

Immediately afterwards, she lifted the hem of her skirt and rushed out of the terrace screaming loudly, leaving Illumi alone on the terrace.

The slightly cool mountain wind began to overflow, and the light gray rain clouds that were blown by it piled up over the Kukuja mountain area. The sky was abnormally bright. It seemed that there would be a shower here soon.

Finette walked briskly on the mountain path in the forest, holding a beautifully packaged cake carton with a pink bow tie in her hand, which contained the cheese baked cake she bought for Ilumi when she went down the mountain to the Melody House.

She wanted to celebrate that Illumi had finally shed her child form.However, rather than being happy for Illumi, it would be better to say that he was relieved for himself. The days of relying on others to watch people's faces and pretending to be meaningless are finally over.

I don't know what kind of expression Illumi will have when he sees the cake. Thinking of this, Finette couldn't help but smile.

We are almost at the gate of the underworld.At this time, she suddenly stopped.

A few tens of meters away, under the heavy gate of the underworld, a silver-haired young man leaned against the gate with his hands folded and his shoulders folded. The occasional gusts of bitter mountain wind ruffled his hair, but he still closed his eyes and drooped. head, as if contemplative.

Finette took a step forward hesitantly.

Hearing the movement, the boy raised his head, turned his head sideways, and looked her up and down casually.Finette was taken aback for a moment, and then she simply saved her pretentiousness and began to size up this young man she had never seen before.

There is a hint of cunning cat eyes hidden in the clarity, casual and unkempt but comfortable and easy-to-move clothes, a breath as deep as the sea, he has a sunny smell that is busy but still full of vitality, this young man may be a man who is always on the road on people.

Finette guessed who he was right away, and he was indeed the most unique and outstanding existence among the killers of their generation.

"You are Yi

Lumi's younger brother Qiya? "Although it was a question, Finette used a firm tone.

"You are..." He narrowed his cat eyes, "Ah!" He suddenly yelled, his eyes widened, "Could you be the fiancée of eldest brother!"

Finette couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, it was very pleasant to be called "Illumi's" by someone or something.

"Yes." She opened her mouth and asked with a satisfied smile, "Why don't you go in outside? You haven't come home for a long time, right?"

Qi Ya turned his head to the side and glanced at the gate of the underworld as if casually.The mottled and vicissitudes of life but deep and majestic dragon sculptures are entrenched on the top of the gate of the underworld, the light gray outline of the withered mountain is blurred in the dense moisture, and the mountain wind blows more rain clouds.

There is an indescribable and inexplicable feeling that blooms.

"Ah! It's just right! Originally, I came back this time just to tell my elder brother the results of the investigation about rabbitstone. Since I met my sister-in-law by such a coincidence, I will trouble my sister-in-law to tell my elder brother." He let out a deep breath, as if he had obtained some kind of relief.

"Huh?" Finette blinked, stunned by Qiya's weird reaction. "Illumi is at home now, why don't you tell him face to face?"

"Forget it, forget it," Qi Ya hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm not used to being back for a long time, and I'm not very good at Big Brother Illumi." He sneered.

"Aren't you brothers?" Finette muttered.

Qi Ya put his hands in his pockets, shrugged his shoulders ambiguously, then skipped Finette's doubts and continued. "According to the investigation, the rabbitstone mentioned earlier is indeed the crystal stone of the hunter association that has been keeping secret all the time, but for some unknown reason, this crystal stone of mind power was suddenly stolen from the hunter association." He raised a finger, "then , this stone suddenly turned into a rabbitstone with rabbit ears."

"Ah?! Why is the mind-power crystal stone that is kept secret so easily stolen? Are all the hunters' associations eating nothing?! This is too blind." Finette angrily said, "That's it, that piece The crystal stone of mind power fell into the hands of Kuroro, and he was cheap for nothing!"

"Also, I suspect that the escape from Jianjingta Prison and the theft of the Psychic Crystal are inextricably linked."

"Escape from Chijingta Prison?" Finette lowered her head and tried to recall it. It seemed that someone had mentioned to her the escape from Chijingta Prison.

"That's right. Whether it's the guardian of the crystal stone or the warden of the cheap well tower, they are all the same person."

Fang slightly lowered his voice, "It's called Liber."

"Such a coincidence?!" Finette's eyes widened, which inevitably reminded people of something tricky hidden in the middle.

Qi Ya nodded, "But I'm not sure." He spread his hands, showing a helpless expression, "After all, we haven't been able to find any evidence after tracking for so long."

"Does Lieber have a problem with beating the enemy Hakka?" Finette asked.

"Hmm..." Qiya pondered for a moment, noncommittal, "I investigated the people who escaped that time, and found that one of them was from Meteor Street, and it is said that he is also the first head of the Phantom Troupe."

"Akra?" Finette blurted out, and she immediately remembered that Bessa had mentioned this person to her before.

"You know?" Qi Ya was surprised, and then he continued, "It is possible that this Akra bribed Lieber, and even, maybe the two of them are the core figures behind the Rabbit Ear organization."

"But... what is their purpose in doing this?" Finette frowned, "What is the incompatibility between them and the Hakkas?"

"Who knows." Qi Ya shook his head.

"By the way, you know about Butler Wutong and Rhett, right?" The instigator of Illumi's surprise attack was Rhett. He betrayed the beating enemy and took refuge in Rabbit Ears. After the incident was revealed, he confronted everyone. Now that I understand myself, Finette suddenly thought of this, "Doesn't Qi Ya want to see Butler Wutong's tombstone?"

Hearing this, Qi Ya's expression darkened. "Forget it, there's nothing to see when people are dead." He waved his hand, "That's all I want to say, please tell my sister-in-law to my brother. Then I'll go first."

Before Finette could speak, he stepped forward. "Oh, that's right," he suddenly turned around halfway through the walk, "Big Brother's body is alright, isn't it?"

Finette, who didn't react, was slightly taken aback. "Ah, oh, it should be fine." After getting the answer, Qi Ya nodded.Finette stared at the back of Qiya who turned around again and strode away without even looking back. For the first time, she became curious about this uncle. She really wanted to know, what in this world could stumbling his way forward.

Perhaps, after he succeeded the patriarch with such an attitude of no hesitation, he might really be able to lead the Dadike family to a new height.

Touching the cold and damp door of the gate of the underworld with her fingertips, Finette couldn't help feeling some uncontrollable emotions. At that time, after she inadvertently saw Butler Wutong and Mrs. Kiqiu in the cave, Sheba's words were in her ears again. It rang, and it lingered and replayed like a magic clock, constantly devouring her sanity.

Her heart

Bang bang bang, he couldn't help but clenched his fists.finally--

"Qi Ya." She glanced at the small house next to the gate of the underworld, but Bu Bu was not there, so she stopped Qi Ya.Qi Ya turned around suspiciously.

"Hmm... that... not long ago... Illumi's body became smaller because of the monster..." Finette was so nervous that she stuttered.

"Smaller?" Qiya's rising tone showed that he obviously didn't know that Illumi's body had been smaller not long ago.Finette breathed a sigh of relief.

"Illumi probably doesn't want to tell you... um... But if Ilumi wants to recover, he needs the lava grass that grows on the lava in the dormant crater... Ah, of course, I also sent people to try to pick it before. ...It's just...it's a lot of sacrifice...well...picking requires extremely fast movement speed, and the physical fitness must be able to withstand the thick sulfur smoke and dust in the crater for a long time...so..." Finette avoided the strange Tooth sight.

Qi Ya frowned and thought for a while.

"I understand. My elder brother will never ask me for help in such a matter. It's hard for my sister-in-law. Don't worry, since my sister-in-law asked me, I will definitely help."

The evil thoughts that just flashed through her mind for a moment went more smoothly than imagined. She was also good at lying occasionally, and the web she wove was silent. Finette swallowed subconsciously. "Ah, Qi Ya, I'll go with you. It's too dangerous for you to go alone, so it's better to have someone to take care of you when you two go together." She quickly answered.

Qi Ya thought for a while, "Okay."

The mountain wind carrying bits and pieces of dampness blows past the faces of Finette and Qiya. The trees are mixed with the smell of soil, and the mountain road gradually becomes a bit damp. Qiya chooses a place closest to Kukucha Mountain. The dormant volcano, Finette silently followed behind him with a heavy heart, and the pace of their feet was very fast. They hurried on their way, hoping to successfully pick the lava grass before the showers came.

Finette glanced at Qi Ya from time to time.His silver hair was wantonly disturbed by the unruly mountain wind, and there was a focused expression between his brows. Even after running around for a long time, his skin was still as fair as Illumi's.

The first time I saw Ilumi was probably about the same age as Qiya now, Finette tried to search for the figure of Ilumi at that time in the fragmented and incomplete memories.

The first time he appeared on Meteor Street was not long after Qi Ya was announced as the next Patriarch.At that time, Illumi had already grown long hair, and the black hair was hanging down smoothly. In the vague impression, he was always staring blankly at the red sky of Meteor Street with a blank expression.

You made a big hole here, she seems to remember

That's how I spoke to him.

He lowered his head and looked, a broken rib was slantingly exposed, the dark brown blood stained his clothes, and there was a strong bloody smell that couldn't be melted away. He nodded as if nothing had happened, and then continued to look at the place. A touch of red in the sky.

Does it hurt, she asked.And he ignored her.

Don't you feel pain, she asked again persistently.It hurts or it doesn't hurt, so what, Finette didn't even understand why she wanted to get his answer so much.

She stretched out her index finger and poked at the piercing broken bone, once, twice.He looked at her with black cat eyes, but never said a word.

If only there were needles and threads, as long as it sewed, it wouldn't hurt. She sat down beside him, and she suddenly felt that maybe he might not be as numb and indifferent to his own affairs as he showed.

"Sister-in-law, don't try to get me. I'm not very interested in sibling love right now." Feeling Finette's strong gaze, Qi Ya suddenly turned his head and winked at her, "You know, I'm not interested in brother-in-law. I'm not very good at it." Then, he made an expression that he was afraid to avoid it.

"Eh?!" Her thinking was interrupted, and Finette, who thought that Qiya had noticed something, broke out in a cold sweat. After thinking about it, she realized that Qiya said something else, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and didn't care about Qiya. Undisguised pride and arrogance, "Then I don't know what kind of girl will be standing next to Qi Ya in the future."

"Well..." Qi Ya blinked his cat's eyes, "I'm curious too."

The cool and damp mountain wind blew his forehead hair, revealing a smooth and full forehead, "here." He lightly jumped onto a piece of lava rock out of the ground, and the cat pupil looked into the dark hole.

Finette also jumped to the entrance of the cave. The cave is winding and narrow leading to the depths of the ground, surrounded by bright yellow sulfur crystals, the pungent smell and sultry heat waves blowing towards the face, this is a place where lava will erupt at any time. dormant crater.

It's a very dangerous place.

"Sister-in-law just wait outside, I'll come out as soon as I go in." Qi Ya said to Finette.

Finette stared blankly ahead.She didn't care about betraying Qi Ya's unquestioning trust, but she couldn't imagine the consequences of hurting his younger brother.It's just that the young man next to him who is completely different from Illumi is such a dazzling and unshakable existence, he is the one who snatched away the things that should belong to Ilumi, even though he resisted and disdained these things.

Finette clenched her fists subconsciously.

It's still too late to stop it now, Qi Ya has no intention of being the head of the family, he is still trained by Illumi himself

big brother.The sky in the forest became darker and darker, and the sweeping mountain wind blew sulfur rock dust into her eyes hard, causing pain and being caught off guard.

Maybe, just like holding the thorns in your hand and driving away the poisonous snakes entrenched in the thorns, if you want to pass through the thorns in front of you, you must sacrifice, hurt, and be cruel.

Take the big from the small.

She thinks she has made up her mind, she wants to help her husband reach the pinnacle of power like Mrs. Keqiu, and she will have many children for him.

Finette silently stared at Qiya's back until the silver color completely disappeared into the darkness.After waiting for a while, she tried to call out Qi Ya's name a few times, but she didn't get any response from him.It appeared that he had descended to a great depth.

After Finette calmed down a little, several daggers appeared in her hands, and the sharp daggers pointed at the fragile sulfur rock above the cave.The rocks under his feet vibrated unceasingly, and large chunks of rocks fell down, raising a burst of scorched yellow smoke.

Finette jumped back to the grass a few meters away, and she waved her hand in front of her eyes.After the smoke and dust dispersed, it was confirmed that the entrance of the cave had been blocked by the collapsed sulfur rock.

The heart was beating rapidly in the small chest, but the hot blood seemed to be congealed, and she felt that her hands and feet became cold.After taking a few steps back, she turned and ran back frantically.

The mountain wind became stronger and stronger, and the trees were swayed left and right by the huge wind, and the fallen leaves were scattered around, and some of them hit Finette heavily.She didn't pay attention to the wanton leaves, and let the huge wind slap her face brutally.Finally, the torrential rain fell, covering the head and face, and there was nowhere to hide.

But she ran all the way on the muddy mountain path without hesitation.

The raindrops hit the railing and then bounced and splashed in all directions. This mountain shower came quickly and urgently. Illumi was still standing on the terrace, his ears filled with the sound of rain.Wet steam dampened the ends of his hair.

"Brother!" The glass door of the balcony was suddenly pulled open from the inside, and Mi Ji leaned out, sweating profusely and panting, shouting to Ilumi: "Qi Ya...Qi Ya's tracking and positioning signal Disappeared!"

"How is this possible." Illumi was taken aback when he heard that, obviously not long ago, Madam Kiqiu sensed Qi Ya coming home. "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" He actually saw a little anxiety in his deep and dark cat pupils.

"No mistake! Really really disappeared! What happened to Qi Ya!?" Mi Ji raised his fat arms and gestured in the air a few times, his face full of anxiety.

After a moment of silence, Illumi turned around and took out the communicator.long

The sound of beeping overwhelmed the sound of rushing rain, grinding the bottom line of his patience over and over again.

Finally, the call was connected.

"Where is it? Why didn't you answer my call?" Illumi spoke quickly as soon as he got through.

"I... I went to the Melody House to buy you a cake, but there was a shower on the way, and the rain was so loud that I didn't hear the bell..." The rain dripped down Finette's cheeks, and she hid in a Under a big tree, a communicator was held in a cold hand. (Author's words: Don't learn, it's easy to be struck by lightning.)

"Did you see Qiya on the way back? Or someone with rabbit ears?" Illumi sped up his speech with a trace of impatience in his tone, "Or someone else who looks suspicious?"

"Ah? Uh... no... no..." Finette squeezed the communicator nervously. She didn't expect it to come so fast, so fast that she didn't even have time to make up a complete lie. Apart from saying "no", there is nothing left to say.

"Oh. It's over." After getting the answer, Illumi had no intention of continuing the conversation for a long time, and he was burning with anxiety at the moment.

Fortunately, Illumi didn't continue to ask.

"Wait!" Finette, who came back to his senses, stopped Illumi before he hung up, "I...I won't go back today, it's raining too much, I want to spend the night in a hotel in town " Finette is not sure if she will fail in front of Illumi with her unstable mood at the moment, she is not yet ready for the contingency.She needs time to calm down and think.

"Whatever you want." Illumi hung up the phone immediately after finishing speaking.

It was not until the busy beeping sounded for a long time that Finette took the communicator away from her ear, and she let out a heavy breath.

The author has something to say: Sorry for being late, I have been very busy with work recently, 555~~

The plot of the story that happened after that has been circling in my mind. The transitional chapter for this transition made me really vomit blood. I can only hold back a few hundred words a day. After holding it for five days, I have a lot of internal injuries...
