【Group Cool】Dis Aliter Visum

Another morning, Kurapika and the spiders finished their breakfast quietly at the long table, while the hotel proprietress kept wiping the plates and refilled them with more coffee than they could drink.The middle-aged woman who appeared the day before came in. She walked up and down, with a joyful atmosphere all over her body. "I've found it!" she yelled. "Old George was selling his son's car, and he said his little bastard was too reckless to drive again—the kid once drove into a dark place, frightened people and livestock with flashing lights.”

"That's great news," Kuroro replied, "Thank you very much."

"He will show up at the little restaurant on the other side of the square at noon. The kid always plays cards there in the afternoon. You can talk to him about the price." She sat down, and the innkeeper's wife gave her a cup of coffee, and the woman relaxed. After receiving coffee and breakfast, I spent the whole morning talking with them about the gossip in the town, talking about their anecdotes with everyone in the town.She tried again and again to get more information from them, but only Spider-head answered her questions, lying naturally and easily.

Kurapika observed Kuroro closely, trying to find the expression and physical flaws of the man when he was lying, but he couldn't find anything.Chief Spider holds it well, convincing the townspeople that he is, indeed, the perfect gentleman with perfect tones, words, and gestures.Kurapika always thought that the spider boss would be nasty, crazy and extremely violent.Instead, he found only an attractive young man, well versed in the ways of a gentleman.

-----Psychopathy, the word that came to his mind, refers to the personality flaw of an inability to form attachments and a lack of general empathy, sometimes disguised under normal outward manifestations.

The man who had been being asked the question turned around, and he seemed to feel Kurapika's gaze on him, Kurapika quickly looked down at the plate, his toast was already soaked in egg yolk, it made him sick, stomach There was a burst of dissatisfaction.Kurapika puts the plate aside and focuses on the coffee, which scalds him but he doesn't mind, the pain feels good and fits in with this twisted little scene.

Kurapika barely touched his food, but he didn't notice, his thoughts were like a storm, roaring and howling - until his mind answered them all and he thought he was starting to feel sleepy.He looked up and found himself staring straight into Kuroro's empty midnight eyes, Kurapika suddenly felt the deepest part of his soul tremble, he looked down and saw that his hand was holding the coffee cup The grip was so tight that the knuckles turned white.Kurapika took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and placed the coffee in front of him.When he looked forward again, Kuroro and the woman sitting next to them caught their attention again.

Kurapika moved uncomfortably, staring at the coffee cup on the table.He listened to the conversation full of lies for a while, and he was sure that his hands were no longer shaking before picking up the coffee cup again.He took a sip of the bitter liquid every once in a while, letting others worry about how to make a scene that would make the hostess happy.Kurapika suddenly sensed the gaze cast on him, he looked up, and saw the childish eyes of the spider leader sizing him up curiously, their eyes met for a moment, and then the other man - Kurapika reminded himself that his name was Knight —— Smiling, drinking coffee and looking away.

The descendant of Kuruta turned to another spider, but the woman, Maggie, almost ignored Kurapika after he was captured. She only obeyed Kuroro's orders, with a kind of world-weariness breath.

At some point, Kurapika found the village girl standing up and driving with the innkeeper's wife.He sighed in relief, this woman could gossip forever, and Kurapika had no interest in knowing that Rory's old uncle had a bad case of gout -- who knows who Rory was.

Kurapika scrambled up the stairs, trying to be as polite as possible to the others.The blond boy returned to the bedroom, sat on his bed, and opened the book Kuroro lent him.He was so engrossed in watching that he hardly noticed that the spider leader had entered the room.They read for the rest of the morning, and the silence was neither uncomfortable nor oppressive.When Xia Ke opened the door at noon, he looked at the two people at the door and was stunned, but he didn't comment too much.After telling Kuroro that "Old George" was indeed at the diner, they opened it together.Maggie stood guard outside his door, Kurapika didn't mind, he continued to read his book.After a while, Kuroro came back, shaking the car keys with his right hand.

"Kurapika," he called softly, because Kurapika didn't look up when he appeared at the door. "The car is outside, we're leaving." Kurapika looked up when he heard his name, and nodded. Head, close the book and get up.Kuroro smiled: "Enjoy this book?"

Kurapika shrugged, walked past him and walked to the door: "...This book is very interesting." The boy finally gave in ----- he didn't like Kuroro being nice to him, which confused him and made him He wavers.No, he had to hold on to his hatred, had to hold on to his anger, that was all he had, that was who he was.

Kuroro called him Amen, and perhaps he was.

Kuroro sat in the driver's seat, Kurapika sat next to him, and the other two sat behind.The knight always wanted to start chatting, but Kurapika only answered him in a few words, and finally the knight gave up playing mobile games.Kurapika almost relaxed, but he remained alert, turned on the car stereo and turned it up to maximum volume.They drove through a thick forest and followed a west-bound road up and down the hills.No one spoke for the first few hours, but when they reached the highway, Kuroro spoke softly.

"Xiaxia, Madge, next we will go north for a hundred kilometers, then pull over, pretend that our engine has failed, and leave the car there. At that time, you will signal in the car and ask passers-by to drive you nearby Blimbo. Let’s meet privately at the train station. Madge, you buy two tickets for you and Xia Ke after the VIP workshop. Xia Ke, after Madge you buy another two tickets for the VIP workshop. If both are full Now, use your hunter's license and kick away the original passengers. Let's take the last train tonight, and then go separately. If my memory serves me correctly, the night train will arrive at Moriya in the middle of the morning. You follow us to a safe distance Besides, let's go to town and find a base."

"Yeah," March replied.

"Okay!" Xia Ke sounded very excited.

Kurapika raised his eyes, and after looking at Kuroro for a moment, his eyes drifted back to the road, and finally he was immersed in the book again.

When signs showed Brimbaugh was approaching, Kuroro put the car in neutral and turned on the night lights.The motorcycle owner who was following them started honking at them angrily, Kuroro ignored them, maneuvered the front of the car along the second lane, and parked on the side of the road.He got out of the car, stepped forward and held up a banner to show that the car was turned off.The sudden change in the speed of the car brought Kurapika back to his senses from the book, and he looked to where he guessed the leader of the spider was, but he couldn't see him under the cover of the car cloth.Madge and Xia Ke got out of the car with him and stood beside him, while Xia Ke stood closer to the car.Through the window, the knight could see where Kurapika was, but the blond boy didn't look at him.

Kurapika looked at the thick woods on the right side of the car door, he gripped the door handle tightly, and the urge to drive the car and run away was about to emerge.He wants to open this twisted situation, it is unbearable, he will go crazy if he stays any longer!But Kurapika repeatedly reminded himself that he is a man of credit, and this is the best chance in his life to win back the attention of his compatriots.So Kurapika finally lets go of the doorknob, hands on his knees, when one of the rear windows opens and Kuroro says from the front, "March, we've been standing here long enough, plug in the car." flag."

"learn."

Then there was silence, and Kurapika looked out the driver's window, wondering if any car would actually want to stop.He starts counting the cars that don't stop, trying not to think about the escape.When he counted to No. 30 seven, an old car, probably 20 years old, was parked on the side of the road.He heard the screeching of gravel and shoes—possibly from the chief spider walking—and then a murmur of indistinct conversation.

"Oh my dear," a voice came from outside after a while, and Kurapika felt goosebumps---he recognized it was Kuroro's voice: "This kind gentleman (knight man) is going to take us Two of them are going to town. Why don't you take the oldest with you first? I'll be here with the youngest of us until the tow truck arrives." Kuroro puts himself out of his way, Kurapika I almost wanted to touch my forehead--Is the spider leader using his observations from the past few days?What's the matter with this weird and joyful tone? !Kurapika got goosebumps just listening to it.

"What a great idea...Darling." March's voice sounded subdued, like she was about to kill someone, and the Kuruta Orphan almost felt sorry for her -- almost.

At this time, there were more footsteps outside, and the sound of a car door closing.Soon another car drove away, and Kurapika silently glanced into the woodland before developing a firm distaste for the sight.He read the book, suspecting that the driver hadn't meant to pick them up at all.Kurapika hesitated for a moment, he probably didn't have time to read another chapter, and suddenly there was a sharp knock on the window that made him almost jump up ----- he didn't notice that the spider head was back, Kurapika Looked up.

"Come out," Kuroro ordered gently with his head tilted slightly, and he opened the door for Kurapika, who grabbed the book and obediently got out of the car.Kuroro closed the door, and they stopped for a moment, Kurapika refused to look at the master thief, but he felt Kuroro's gaze on him -- the spider leader seemed to be watching him, and the silence spread a little Time, until Kurapika gave up and turned his gaze to Kuroro.

Kuroro looked at Kurapika with great interest, his eyes were dark and unblinking, not just a little weird, they seemed to be shining from within, and there was something inside... which made Kurapika feel very uncomfortable. comfortable stuff.Kurapika stared around, tired of the constant view, but he had to look somewhere to stop focusing on the spider boss beside him.When Kurapika made such a move, Kuroro moved away from the blond boy.Kurapika exhaled slowly, his loosened hand no longer clenched into a fist.When he looked up again, he saw Kuroro staring at the road, as if he was expecting another car to stop for him, and he didn't have to put himself out of his way to flatter others-----in the end it was cool To Lapika's surprise, a car finally stopped.

It was a big fancy truck with flames tattooed on the doors, and when Kurapika got closer, he saw that the driver was a middle-aged woman with blond curly hair.She wears heavy blue eyeliner and has a cigarette dangling from her mouth, filling the truck with smoke.Kurapika blew his nose, took a step back, he stepped back to the side of the waiting spider leader, and quickly moved aside again.Kuroro leaned against the passenger window and said, "Hello, our car broke down. Mind giving us a ride to town?"

The woman took a puff of cigarette and exhaled slowly. "Oh honey," she said, "I can take you anywhere you want."

Kuroro remained courteous, and even though Kurapika knew it was the perfect moment for him to slip away slowly, Kuroro stepped back and opened the door, motioning for Kurapika to get in the car first , but Kurapika just looked at the truck, stood still, unwilling to get close to this horrible-smelling truck and this tasteless-looking woman.

Kuroro stared at him and said only one word: "Kurapica."

His name -- he'd heard his own name hundreds of times in his life, and all of a sudden it sounded so different.It sounded like an order, a chain binding him and the man who was trying to control him.Fury boiled from the depths, and he drew back even further, but for a moment his hair stood on end and his bones were icy.What's the matter...it's different.His five senses and six senses were vigilant and kept screaming at him: Danger, danger!

Kuroro stared at him, and although his face was expressionless, Kurapika knew he wasn't happy with his resistance.Kurapika's intuition told him ----- he was going to run away, run as hard as he could, this man was too dangerous, Kurapika just defied him openly.The boy frowned and stared back.

"What's the matter, sweetheart?" the woman asked blatantly.

"Forgive him, ma'am," Kuroro replied tactfully, "My cousin is very prone to motion sickness, so he doesn't want to get in a car he's not familiar with. But our car broke down and we have no choice. He will Get in the car." He turned around and stared at the blond boy, "You know it, Kurapika?"

Here it goes again, this tone of command.Kurapika glared at him, tried to retaliate angrily, but shrugged in defeat, angrily met Kuroro, and climbed into the truck.Kurapika sits awkwardly next to the driver, Kuroro gets into the car after him, and now Kurapika sits between two people he desperately wants to be a mile away from.He used his expressionless face as a mask, fingers clutching the book on his lap, and although he knew that others could feel his anger, Kurapika still tried hard not to let it explode.

----- Kurapika really admired that he didn't dodge, because when the woman put her hand on the back of the seat, her hand happened to touch Kurapika's neck.She drives like a bat out of hell, and Kurapika realizes that Kuroro's excuse that he's prone to motion sickness has to be true in this case.The woman smoked the whole time, smoking small cigarettes that caused cancer, one after another.By the time they got to Blimbo, Kurapika was pretty sure his face was green.Kuroro politely thanked her when the woman dropped them off in front of the garage with the trailer facility.Unwillingly, the woman invited Kuroro several times, but the leader of the spider easily shied away.Kurapika turned around, ashamed of the woman's rude words.Finally, she drove, and Kurapika looked at the leader of the spiders who was looking at him and seemed interested in him, but the teen didn't have the energy to stare back, so he shrugged and looked away.Kurapika exhaled slowly, shaking his head, trying to wake up.

"Should we go?" Kuroro asked.

Kurapika clenched and loosened his fist several times, trying to dispel his anger.However, it didn't have a big effect. He inhaled and exhaled again, and followed the spiders to the train station.Kurapika felt like something had changed between them -- he was pretty sure it wasn't a good thing.
