【Group Cool】Dis Aliter Visum

"In autumn, the males of the Burungi tribe will hunt and kill the first three animals caught at the time of the autumnal equinox as usual—"

Kurapika blinked lightly, observing the man sitting across from him.

The carriage was silent, and the squeaking sound of the wheels rubbing against the rails was covered by luxurious carpets and embroidered curtains.Kuroro Lucifero was concentrating on reading a huge, fuchsia-covered book he had summoned ----- the book must have something to do with his abilities, but Kurapika didn't know what it was about. Why, such an unknown made him uneasy.

『The men of the Blunji tribe will follow the custom—』

The man's sitting posture was impeccable, and his demeanor made it hard for Kurapika to believe that he was from Meteor Street.Even though Kurapika had never been there himself, he thought it must be the worst slum imaginable, after all, it was populated by vicious people who were rejected by the world.However the man in front of him was a mystery, his demeanor only showed that he was of good parentage, Kurapika wondered how the Spider Chief became so - aristocratic under such bad circumstances.But what does it matter to him?Kurapika's inner voice resisted.This is the leader of the criminal gang that slaughtered your entire clan!

"The men of the Blunji tribe will hunt and kill the first three animals caught at the autumnal equinox as usual—"

The Spider Chief had touched him not so long ago in a way that made Kurapika blush ----- Kurapika hoped it was just a misunderstanding on his part.The man just wanted to check his prisoner's wounds, but...the offense just now was obviously wrong, he almost thought that the spider leader just touched him in a...a erotic (huh) way.Kurapika raised the book in his hand to block his face that was suddenly heating up.

"...According to the usual practice, the first three animals caught at the autumnal equinox will be hunted and the banquet will be held—"

No, it's impossible ----- Kurapika could almost clearly recall the feeling of warmth on his back.There is no reason for Kuroro to have the touch just now, and he has no reason for Kurapika to be interested in anything other than fighting skills. He must be thinking too much. Although he doesn't think too much, he is cool after all. Rapika is an Objectivist, and he's always true to how he really feels.

"The first three animals caught, held a banquet and invited the whole village to participate.The banquet was filled with long wooden tables—”

This man was probably teasing him, intending to humiliate him further.

He told me I was beautiful...

-----teasing, Kurapika concluded.He just wanted to see my reaction.

Kuroro's reason for doing this is obvious, Kurapika will act like nothing happened, because he will never give this sexual (huh) harasser satisfaction again, Kurapika will become more than ever Both are powerful.He will always get out of this situation, he will find a chance to turn things around, and after he collects as many red eyes as he can, he will see the failure of the spiders.

There was a sound of flipping paper——.He looked up and saw Kurolo Lucifero turning the pages of the book on the left.Kuroro sat a little higher than Kurapika, and their eyes met.Kurapika's lips tightened, and he kept his brow from furrowing.No, stop this behavior ----- stay indifferent.He has to pretend he's made of ice, and he has to keep the spider boss from touching his skin again.Thinking of what this man had done to him six years ago, it became difficult to keep calm, and Kurapika forced his attention to focus on his earrings, the same way he did every time he thought of his dead clansmen.However, he found that the spider leader was watching his every move, so he stopped.Kurolo Lucifer's gaze returned to the book again, and the book turned another page.In the silence, the pages of the book grew louder.

"The whole village is invited to participate.The banquet was filled with long wooden tables set on ledges of rock—”

Kurapika tucked a bookmark between the pages - the bookmark was Kuroro's, he reminded himself, trying to keep his face impassive - and closed the book.Still clueless, Kurapika couldn't concentrate on the damn thing, he put it on the side of the chair, and stood up.He caught a glimpse of the spider leader looking up at him again, but Kurapika refused to speak unless asked.He walked towards what he thought was the bathroom, there was a lock on the door that made him feel at ease, just in case something happened, Kurapika quickly locked it, with his hands resting on both sides of the door, leaning heavily on it.The teenager inhaled and exhaled slowly until he felt calm enough.

-----It's too hard for him, because his enemy is right in front of him, but he can't do anything.His desire for revenge was forcibly extinguished.He knew full well that violence in this situation would be counterproductive, he had to get the red eyes back, he had to get them, and take them back to the grave where his people rested - a huge grave that Kurapika dug himself .

He can only remind himself again and again that any attack he takes on the spiders will be suicidal, and following them is the only way he can fulfill his oath so far... But it's too difficult, Kula Pickup could hardly take it anymore -- he sat next to the man who had caused him so much pain, but couldn't give him the sanction of hatred.

"My only fear is losing this anger. 』-----He once told his friends this.It seems that the odds of this happening during the trip with the Spider-Boss are slim to none.This man seemed to just want to provoke Kurapika's anger even more, as if things weren't bad enough these days!However, Kurapika won't let him make fun of him, and K also won't let Kuroro see him making more fools.

-----Calm down, he told himself, I'm made of ice and stone.Such thoughts soothed him, and he already felt stronger.Kurapika found himself digging so hard on the metal by the door with his fingers that his joints ached.He breathes softly and slowly spreads them out as he exhales.The boy stood up and looked at his reflection in the mirror. When he was in a state of confusion, his eyes must have turned red, but this time he didn't feel it at all.Kurapika frowned slightly, waiting until they turned back to blue, and when he was sure he looked calm and elusive, he took another deep breath, opened the door, and walked out.As he walked back to his seat, the Spider Chief looked up again, but Kurapika refused to greet him.The boy sat opposite Kuroro and picked up his book again.Now, he can finally concentrate.

-----

The sharp sound woke Kurapika from his sleep, he got up hastily, and immediately became alert.Kuroro was already standing by the window, staring at the darkness outside the window.Kurapika grabbed his outer shirt and put it on as he stood watching from the other window, and the taller man glanced at him.

"We're in trouble," he said. "We're going to drive here."

Kurapika nodded. He saw the lights of the police cars not far away flashing in the night. He had a little hope in his heart that his companions would be caught by the police, even though he knew they would kill a large number of policemen to get out of the predicament. is a better choice.Kuroro and Kurapika didn't have much to pack, since most of it was thrown into the convenience wrap by the spider boss.Kurapika picked up his book and jumped out of the window that was broken by Kuroro.Kurapika knew that the windows of these trains had tempered glass, but nothing was impossible for Kuroro, and luckily Kurapika knew that before he got into a one-on-one fight with Kuroro his strength.

Kuroro watched his back, took the book in his hand, stood on the edge of the window frame, he fell to the ground easily, and Kurapika jumped off after him.If Kuroro is here to show off his skills, then Kurapika will let him know that he is not the only one who can jump off the speeding train, Kurapika also lands easily and walks into the darkness Where Kuroro is.Two other spiders joined them.

"I'm afraid it's a sign that we won't be able to get a good hotel," Madge commented.

Kuroro nodded: "This has nothing to do with us appearing on the train. But we have to be careful and disappear quietly for a few days. Knights, Madge, you find a hiding place in the west of the city to hide until I contact you. I will talk to Cool Lapika until I think we are moving without interference from government forces."

"Got it." The knight quickly agreed, and Maggie gave Kurapika a doubtful look.Kurapika remained unmoved, then she turned and set off, and the tech house followed her, leaving Kuroro and his "Nemesis" alone.Kurapika looked at Kuroro again, and Kuroro was tilting his head, looking straight at Kurapika with large, completely unblinking eyes.Then, the leader of the spiders turned and walked, Kurapika following behind, the light was on their left, and they walked up a steep hill, and were soon surrounded by strange-shaped trees.Interlaced knots and vines are entangled on the side of the road, and there is hardly any light in the field of vision, only the moonlight illuminates the road ahead.

As the moon was setting, Kuroro stopped: "Let's take a rest here and sleep for a while." As he spoke, he summoned his reading book and took out their luggage.Kuroro took out the blanket and gave Kurapika another one.Without saying a word, Kurapika took the blanket and placed it on the slightly level ground.Lying on the blanket, the boy rolled up the exposed part to cover half of his body.He listened carefully to Kuroro's movement, and closed his eyes until there was no sound, leaving only the swaying of the trees.It was difficult to sleep, but Kurapika must have lost to Oneiroi in the end, because when he opened his eyes, dawn had already arrived.Kurapika turned his head to look at his fellow traveler, Kurohe looked very young with his eyes closed.Kurapika wondered how old he was -- the boy frowned at the thought, reminding himself that no matter how old his enemy was, he was still a killer with blood on his hands.

Kurapika sat up slowly, keeping silent, but the moment he got up, Kuroro's eyes suddenly opened.Kurapika froze, surprised.The spider leader also got up and looked at the sun.Kurapika stood up, gathered his blanket, and shook off the dead leaves that fell on it.Kuroro folded his shirts, he summoned an incredible big bag, took out a little food like fruit and bread, they ate in silence, then Kuroro put all their items back into the palm-sized bag, and set off again .

The weather was mildly hot and humid, and they had to make their way through thick undergrowth.Kurapika was sweating, his shirt was sticking to his back, uncomfortable, and he longed for a shower.Kuroro and Kurapika walked forward in silence, and occasionally a few strange bird calls from the lush forest broke the silence.As dusk fell and they returned to the city by dinnertime, Kuroro and Kurapika stood on a rocky plateau overlooking Morinya, and they took a long detour; Kurapika couldn't even see the railway they had come from.Kuroro looked back at him for the first time since lunch, and he was sizing up Kurapika in silence, before saying, "We'll stay again for a few days before we hunt for the eyes," he said.

"I'd rather stay at the hotel, unless those cops show up out of the blue again." He said like the cops were looking for Kurapika too.Of course, Kurapika isn't completely innocent, but he still thinks he's on the side of the law.

"I'm going to find a suitable place to live," Kuroro said with a smile, "but we won't be able to wander into the city until after dark, can you bear to take a shower until then?" This is definitely teasing - even ironic !Kurapika was pretty sure he wasn't impatient with the sweat on his body.As far as he knew, Kuroro couldn't read minds.Kurapika frowned and stared at the man, but the spider leader always wore that blank, incomprehensible mask, and Kurapika didn't know what he was thinking.

Finally, Kurapika shrugged, "I used to be away for a lot of days, it's not a big deal."

"I'm sure you want to sleep in a clean, warm bed, too," Kuroro added. "At least I know I want to ----- let's at least have dinner." They ate in silence, then read It was completely dark.Kuroro and Kurapika set off again and reached the city, the last ray of silver eyes disappeared among the hills, they listened to people's conversations near the market, found out the house whose owner was not in the town, and broke into it easily Then he washed and groomed, and slept in a stranger's bed.

-----Break down the door, something Kurapika used to do only for occasions he thought were righteous, but there was no Red Eye here, and he walked in without blinking.He, a descendant of the Kuruta tribe... seemed to be doing well with such a life of crime.
