Kurapika didn't know what he was thinking.He almost forgot that Kuroro was a thief, a robber, a man without morals -- almost.As they headed to the museum, the sirens in Kurapika's heart were sounded, savagely waking him up.He allowed himself to be persuaded and controlled by the other party's charm, like a violin being held in someone's hand to play the melody he wanted.Watching Kuroro sneak into a place with such ease -- speeding across the gallery like a cat, walking silently, avoiding all the monitors, emptying the museum of all exhibits -- it was terrifying siren.Kurapika couldn't sleep that night, he tossed and turned in bed, replaying the events of the morning in his mind, and he had a very relaxing time, the first time he had felt this contentment in a long time.That smooth trip to the library, the nice dinner hour, the fascinating observatory, but then...they went to the museum, the theft in the museum.This incident gave Kurapika a bitter taste, and his stomach felt anxious.He knew Kuroro had no intention of returning the exhibit he had stolen that night, and he wasn't sure how he was going to get him to return it.

Around lunch time, the spider boss knocked lightly on the door of Kurapika's bedroom and pushed it open, looking at the boy with his head. "Good morning," he said, and instead of answering, Kurapika took a sip of his coffee, not sure which cup it was. "The coffee pot wasn't on the coffee maker, so I guess you took it away." Kuroro pushed the door open a bit and walked into the room, "Kurapika?" Kurapika turned his face slightly to the spider boss to indicate that he heard him Said the words, but his eyes were still looking at the sky outside the window. "What happened?"

Kurapika shook his head. "I'm just tired," he said, casting a quick glance at Kuroro. "Didn't sleep well last night."

"I can tell," Kuroro said, tilting his head. "You have dark circles under your eyes. Are you hungry?"

"No." Kurapika said shrugging, looking back at the sky outside the window.

"Anyway, you should eat something." Kuroro approached the boy sitting on the chair, shortening the distance between them.Kuroro stood in front of the boy, looked down at him, then followed Kurapika's line of sight to the sky.He squatted down and made his eyes level with Kurapika. Kurapika could feel the skin under his stare twitching and tingling slightly, but he knew it was the sequelae of lack of sleep, so he drank caffeine crazily It may also be one of the reasons. "Kurapika? Are you alright?"

Kuroro stretched out his hand to touch Kurapika's face, and the action of the spider leader made Kurapika tremble. "I'm fine," he said softly, looking down at the coffee cup he was holding in his hand. "I'm just tired, maybe something to eat will help."

Kuroro watched him quietly for a while, nodded and stood up: "Let's go to the coffee shop next to the lobby, or see if there are other restaurants nearby. Maybe breathing fresh air will make you feel better, your face looks Sounds bad." Kurapika let out a soft, amused sound from his throat.Is it bad?Didn't that man always say he was beautiful?Ah, damn it, he shouldn't have thought of Kuroro's comment.Kuroro had already turned around, but he stopped after hearing Kurapika's voice: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Kurapika said and waved his hands. He stood up from the chair, bent over and took the coffee pot beside him. The boy put the coffee pot and coffee cup back in the kitchen, and then followed Kuroro out.

"Okay, let's go out of the lobby?" Kuroro asked.

Kurapika thought about it, and finally said, "I think, let's go outside."

"Okay," the spider leader said, nodding. "Are you ready? I'm ready."

Kurapika's hand caressed his eyes, brushed his forehead and pushed his bangs all the way up.He sighed, feeling like his whole body was going to fall apart. This may be because all kinds of emotions rushed towards him. Yes, after Youkexin City, he only had a small amount of sleep and insufficient sleep for several months. Feelings of despair, helplessness, and confusion.

"Of course, I'm fine." Kurapika said walking to the door of the room.

Silence spread between the two of them, and as he put his hand on the doorknob, he heard Kuroro's footsteps behind him.Kurapika opened the door, and Kuroro followed, covering the door with one hand over the boy's head, letting the boy walk out of the room before following.Kurapika didn't wait for Kuroro, he walked directly down the corridor to the stairs.Their room was on the second floor, so it didn't take long to go underground and out of the hotel.It was a sunny and slightly chilly day, so the two preferred to walk rather than stop the taxi and sit in the almost sealed compartment.The hotel lobby was some distance away from the main street, Kuroro and Kurapika did not speak, each was thinking.As he walked up the walkway, Kurapika looked around and then turned to the left, where he saw more restaurants and shops, and the spider leader just followed each other silently.

A few minutes later, they were on a sidewalk lined with small shops and coffee shops, and Kurapika turned right, quickly crossed the intersection when the light was green, and walked down a wide brick road.Kuroro followed the whole time, obviously letting the boy decide where he wanted to go.They crossed two big crossroads again, and after walking for a distance, Kurapika began to feel himself back. He was about to turn around and ask Kuroro if there was any shop he liked, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Captain?!" Kurapika and Kuroro stopped and turned around, the knight was trotting towards them. "It's really you!" he exclaimed, "I just looked up and saw you."

Kuroro tilted his head towards him, and let the knight approach the two of them. Kurapika frowned slightly, his lips pursed into a tight line.He didn't need another brigade member by his side, even if their brigade leader gave him the freedom, Kurapika still felt that this was not the occasion for him to speak.He very much hoped that the knight meeting would be held, he seemed to be the friendliest member of the entire brigade, and for this reason, Kurapika was glad that it was the knight in front of him instead of... For example, Feitan, but the existence of the knight was still there. Made him tense up.That's funny, when did he start to feel that Kuroro was a better partner than that knight who probably just searched more than killed?This must be the reason why habit becomes natural.

"Warrior." Kuroro asked after a quick glance at Kurapika, "What are you doing here?"

"Visiting an acquaintance here." The knight grinned and replied, "Well, he is a friend I met on the game. I should meet him in the city center tonight, but I came in the morning and wanted to meet him in the city." Let's see what's in this city before the meeting." While explaining to the captain, he cast a few glances at Kurapika, and finally realizing that the boy wasn't looking at him, he waved to Kurapika, who nodded slightly in response.

Kuroro quietly observed the two people in front of him for a while, and then took the lead to walk back to the coffee shop he just passed.There was a cup of coffee still steaming on the table in front of the coffee shop, where Kurapika guessed the knight was sitting and watching them. "How's the coffee here?" Kurapika heard the spider boss ask.

"It tastes good." The knight said and nodded.

Kuroro tilted his head, "Sit down." He said to Kurapika, "I guess you've had a lot of coffee today, but I'll still buy you a cup of tea and food. Sandwiches, okay?" Cool Lapika nodded, he pushed the chair away and sat opposite the knight, and the knight sat back at the table again.There was an odd silence between them, but Kurapika didn't want to speak, he didn't think he should break it at this moment.After Kurapika ignored Xia Ke for 1 minute, Xia Ke took out his phone and started pressing the buttons on it, obviously playing a mobile game.

Kuroro finally came out of the coffee shop with the tray in his hand. He quietly put the tray in front of Kurapika, took the cup of coffee on it and put it on the table before sitting down.He sipped his coffee and took a look at Kurapika before he went to ask the knight a question, and the knight put down his phone, but the boy isolated the two of them, concentrating on the food in front of him.Normally, he'd listen carefully to each other's words, trying to recognize or extract the most from them, but this time he found himself dismissive.Kurapika ate and drank his tea slowly, and when he was done, he finally looked away from the plate to find that the spider boss had finished his coffee and was watching him. "Warrior," Kuroro said, his eyes still on Kurapika, "I want you to come back to the hotel with us, I have something to discuss with you, that won't make me feel good There should be a few hours left before meeting up with friends."

"No problem!" the knight replied, and the two spiders rose to their feet, with Kurapika following them.The three walked back to the hotel in silence, none of them feeling the need to break the silence.

When they got to the room, Kuroro pushed open the door to let Knight and Kurapika in, but he stood still and said, "I'm going to make a call, be back soon."

"Okay," said the knight, and at the same time Kurapika nodded.Kurapika went to pick up his book, but he was not sure if he gave permission to open it, or if Kuroro had something to tell him later, so he took the book and went to the living room to read instead of going straight back to the book as usual. Go to the room and close the door.The knight sat on the armchair to Kurapika's right, and Kurapika concentrated on reading.Minutes passed, Kuroro still didn't come back, finally the knight broke the silence: "Can I ask you a question?" he asked, Kurapika blinked at the book, startled, then looked up at the knight.After observing the other party and thinking for a while, the boy nodded. "The leader said that as long as we help you find all the eyes, you will not attack us or run away." -----This is not a problem, Kurapika waited for the knight to bring the topic to the point: "I'm not very Clear. I mean... getting the eyes back won't bring them back to life, so why would you rather work with us to get the eyes back?"

Kurapika was surprised that the other party would want to know why, the knight might be the friendliest member of the brigade, but he was still a spider.Kurapika didn't think the other party would care, he wondered how he should answer, or if he should answer, but the knight still looked at him with those big green eyes. "What do you know about the Kurutas?" Kurapika finally asked.

"Hmm..." the knight raised his head slightly, pointing his finger at his face: "I know their eyes turn red when they are excited, if they are killed when their eyes turn red, the fiery red color will remain forever In the pupils. I also know that their strength is very strong, and I'm afraid that's all."

He lowered his eyes, then froze, and Kurapika's eyes turned fiery red, allowing the knight to see the eyes they had just discussed. "You don't need to kill them to steal their eyes," Kurapika told the knight. "Why don't you tie them up and take their eyes and let them live?"

"Ah, that's impossible." The knight swung his right hand back and forth, "Those eyes will turn dull brown instead of fiery red."

Kurapika's breath trembled, struggling to suppress the anger burning in his heart: "Have you ever thought about why?"

The knight tilted his head and frowned, "No, I... never thought about the reason."

Kurapika nodded: "You said that the Kuruta tribe is powerful, our power is stored in the red eyes, compared to ordinary fighting, when our eyes turn red, the red eyes will give us more power. I didn't know it at the time, but there is one thing in this world that can make a person stronger in a duel."

"Are you thinking?"

Kurapika nodded again: "And reading contains..."

"Life force!" The knight easily connected, and then he paused: "Life force! Do you mean that when the Kuruta tribe was killed, the eye monk maintained the state of fiery red eyes because of Nian? So the fiery red eyes seem to exist... soul?"

Kurapika closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, they were blue again: "My people believe that their souls reside in the eyes, and I want to bring them back to the place where the dead have been comforted." Soul. Did I answer your question?"

Xia Ke opened his eyes wide, nodded, then swallowed his saliva, and he licked his lips. "Whether you accept it or not," the knight said, "I'm hugging -----"

"don't want-----"

Kurapika turned his face away and looked back at the contents of the book.After a while the knight stood up and drove away, Kurapika heard him say something before closing the door, and then he heard the leader spider respond.He frowned at the book, but refused to give his thoughts to any of them until they returned, and it would be easy to let go of the anger and focus on the reading.

Books seemed to be the only thing that made Kurapika feel at peace.

Translator’s words: Personally, I hope that the knight will not apologize (cover his face), although I also think that the knight is the friendliest one in the brigade, but it’s just "seemingly" and he will really feel compassion for others The only one seems to be Pike (ah... I want to be a cat in Pike's arms).The chivalrous man looks harmless, but he doesn't blink when he kills, and he uses the antenna as a toy ii. It is undeniable that he, like Nobunaga, wanted to find the chain killer because of Wo Jin's death, which proves that he should be an important Companions, but even if it is the commander's order, shouldn't the knight just follow the order and not kill Kurapika?So no matter how I look at it, I don't think the knight will apologize to Kurapika. What do you guys think? i
