The shop in front of him was dark and simple, different from the ones Kurapika had seen. This was not the first time he visited a weapon shop, but the first underground black market he visited.When Kurapika and Kuroro entered the store, the store manager immediately locked the door and even pushed to see if it was locked.

"I'm sorry." The store manager murmured, "But I need to be very careful, after all, there are a lot of weapons for sale here. What can I help you find?"

Kuroro pointed his head at Kurapika who was standing next to him. Kurapika looked at the place and slowly scanned the weapons displayed in the shop. The shop was crowded with shelves, and the corridor in the middle became very narrow and difficult to walk. , Weapons of different ages and types are all over the shop, for example, swords are placed next to firearms, knives are hidden behind bows and arrows, and there are even some round beads next to them.

"I'm not sure what type of weapon I need yet," Kurapika said to the store manager, "Can I have a look around?"

"Of course," said the store manager, shrugging his back, "as long as you don't do something funny, there are no guns here, so let me have one." He patted the pistol holster on his hip, eyes Slowly scanning the person standing in front of him, Kurapika suddenly got goosebumps.

"We're not here to rob," he assured him, and started walking down one of the corridors.

The weapons on the shelves seemed to be out of order, and there were no price tags posted nearby.Kurapika walked slowly and looked at each weapon, Kuroro suddenly walked towards him, the aura emanating from the man went to a level that made the surrounding atmosphere a little tense, he looked like It's like preparing for an attack; Kurapika doesn't know who is facing the attack, or maybe it's the store manager.

Kuroro picked up a small knife from a shelf, he pulled the knife out of its sheath slightly, Kurapika glanced at the man, he motioned to the boy for the weapon in his hand, but Kurapika shook his head, just one look, Kurapika Pickup knew it was probably poisoned, and he wouldn't switch to another poisoned knife, especially since he didn't know what substance the blade was coated with, or where it came from.

"Do you know what type of weapon you want?" Kuroro asked.

"Something not too sharp, so I can use it to hit enemies without accidentally killing them."

"That's not enough," said the Spider Chief. "I won't let you go into a dangerous place with a blunt weapon."

"What if there's a blade hidden inside?" Kurapika suggested. "I can use the blade inside to protect myself if the situation gets serious."

"It sounds specific, but at the same time it's kind of weird," Kurollo commented. "Have you ever had anything like this before?"

"Two, actually." Kurapika said, feeling amused by the other. "During the hunter exam."

Kuroro looked at him for a moment, a strange expression on his face, and Kurapika couldn't decipher the meaning behind it.He turned around and cleared his throat, and a burst of nervousness suddenly rose up inexplicably.Kuroro sheathed the knife and put it back.

They walked through two corridors, then went to the other two, and the two picked up sticks, sticks, or something like that, maybe one of them would suit Kurapika.When I walked to the last row of shelves, there was something like a basket with various long weapons in it.

Kuroro picked them up one by one and examined each weapon carefully, but none seemed to meet his standards.Kuroro put the weapon back to its original place. The sixth weapon that was pulled out was a wooden stick with a beautiful appearance. He put the wooden stick in his hand and squatted, and then tried to pull the round head on the handle. A thin, slender blade was revealed and reflected in the ceiling light.

"How about this?" he asked the boy. "It's delicate and looks feminine."

"I don't think I can make that -----" Kurapika glanced at the store manager. "The man was interested -- I mean without arousing suspicion. ’” he said, walking down another hallway. “I need something smaller, a weapon that I can hide under my clothes, and the skirt I’m wearing is ridiculously short.”

Kurapika's eyes finally settled on a seemingly harmless piece of wood. It looked like a baton. It was about 30 centimeters long and made of light and smooth wood. radian.When Kurapika picked it up, the weight in his hand told him it was the weapon he needed.Kurapika grabbed both sides of the head and tail and pulled them apart, revealing a blade immediately.

Kuroro suddenly appeared next to the boy, and he was always able to move around silently.Kurapika has very good hearing, but he can't detect Kuroro's approach.

"This." Kurapika decided, "This is what I need."

Kuroro looked at the blade for a moment, then said, "It's too small."

"I'm not using it to kill anyone," Kurapika reminded Kuroro. "I'm just going to talk and get distracted. This knife will only be used when I'm under attack. Unless there is no other way, I won't kill anyone." Wouldn't use it, or maybe I don't need it at all."

"We're talking about a dangerous situation," Kuroro said, his tone darkening. "This knife can't kill a mouse."

"You know what I'm capable of." Kurapika said, sheathing the knife. "I'm going to take this."

Kuroro looked like he wanted to hang on, but his face went back blank and he sighed. "Okay," he agreed, softening his tone, "if you're sure."

"I'm sure," said Kurapika, and he turned and walked to where the counter should be, but there was nothing like it in the store, but the store manager was sitting on a dirty recliner, drinking beer Watching Kurapika walking towards him.Kurapika noticed that the store manager's eyes changed when he saw himself in women's clothing, and it made him feel more uncomfortable than before, especially when he kept looking at him but pretended not to be lustful- ----Like now, it's really disgusting.

"How much?" Kuroro suddenly stood behind Kurapika. He took the knife in the boy's hand and showed it to the store manager: "How much is this knife?"

Kuroro's voice was mixed with something dark and dangerous, and the store manager made a face and said, "You, half a million kiyo." He then turned his attention back to Kurapika: "As for this beautiful Miss, just 50 ring nuns."

Kuroro stepped forward and rudely pulled Kurapika behind him, saying to the store manager, "This is for the 'lady'." Things became sour and tense between them, Kuroro Luo said, "I'll give you 1 rings."

The store manager opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to protest, but the Spider Chief cut him off: "And," he said ominously, "I'll keep your eyeballs on your head."

Immediately afterwards, there was a small sound in the store, and a small knife stabbed into the wall out of thin air in the next moment. The blade was just two centimeters away from the store manager's ear, and Kurapika couldn't even see the moment when the spider leader made a move.

"Stop it," Kurapika said softly, "This guy is a jerk, but he's not a threat. I don't want to see him killed for a nasty accost." He said and went to the store Long: "Give him what he wants," Kurapika said, "If he wants to kill you----"

The boy failed to follow through on his warning, the store manager reached for his gun, Kurapika snatched the knife from Kuroro's hand and smacked the store manager on the left temple so hard that he passed out.

"See?" Kurapika said to Kuroro, "This knife is useful." He took out his wallet and paid for it.

"You're not going to pay for that knife," Kuroro said in disbelief. "He's passed out, there's no way he's going to catch us."

"I won't steal it." Kurapika said, counting the money in his wallet.

Kuroro stopped Kurapika's movement: "I said that I will pay for it." He reminded the boy, put the 1 worth of banknotes on the fallen body of the store manager and took out his key.Kuroro opened the store door, and at this moment there was a sudden groan in the store, Kuroro put the key back and closed the door.

Their evening was a bit awkward, both of them sitting in the tiny suite trying to read, but Kurapika couldn't pay attention, he noticed that his traveling companion looked preoccupied.That night, both Kuroro and Kurapika fell asleep early without saying a word to each other.

The two headed to the university the next morning, applied and completed the admissions process and wandered outside the campus, trying to find out where Professor Kony was. It took them hours to find the professor, but according to Kuroro and Kurapika's Cognitive, both are sure that the professor will be here because he won't pass up the opportunity to watch the schoolgirls in their high school uniforms.

By the end, they saw Professor Kony in the hallway, watching the female students, especially those in their senior high school uniforms.

Kurapika was about to start his plan, but he felt a force grab his hand from behind, and the boy paused, turning to look at Kuroro's face.Kurapika looked at him with a frown, the man's face had a horrible expression, something inside made Kurapika's breathing difficult.He licked his lips and opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Kurapika lowered his eyes and gently pulled Kuroro's hand down.

"Trust me," he murmured, casting a quick glance at Kuroro before turning around.He straightened his shoulders and walked slowly down the corridor towards Professor Kony.When approached, he pretended to trip and fall on top of the ugly man.

"Ah, I'm sorry," he said, wide-eyed for the intended purpose, and Kurapika did his best to make him look petite and demure: "I'm so sorry!"

Professor Kony turned to look at Kurapika, his eyebrows furrowed, but when he saw that Kurapika was wearing a girl's high school uniform, with light makeup on his face and a long, curly ponytail draped over his shoulders (thanks for the wig) ), Kony's expression immediately changed from angry to very interested.

"Oh, it's nothing!" he claims, looking up and down at Kurapika, Kony's eyes seem imperceptible, but no, he's actually very rude, but Kurapika makes sure his inner irritability doesn't show come out.

Wait; he's getting better at lying and disguising, this must be Kuroro's influence on him, Kurapika doesn't know if he likes this change or not.

"Ah, I told you to be careful." Kuroro scolded softly, he played the role of "brother" perfectly. "I'm very sorry, sir," he said to the professor, "my sister is very clumsy."

"It's nothing." The old professor said coldly, but still remained polite.When he turned to Kurapika, his eyes immediately became lustful, and Kurapika almost pulled out the pocket knife he had hidden on his body. "Are you here to apply for admission?" Corney asked.

"Right," Kurapika said, immediately remembering to maintain the character identity: "But we're done." He paused, and glanced at his "brother": "We're going to see the dormitory, I want to live In the apartment, but the money is... you know..."

Kony looked up and down at Kurapika again. "You know," he said slowly, "I'm sure we can arrange it." He shot Kuroro a look. "I mean, in the name of the university."

The old professor was disgustingly obvious, Kurapika thought, and it was a miracle he hadn't been fired from the university.The boy looked at Kuroro, gestured to the professor with his eyes, and then looked back at the spider leader.

"Brother," he said, with a fake smile on his face, Kurapika trying to make his smile look as sweet as possible: "I'm thirsty, we should have just passed the vending machine, can you buy me a drink? "

Kurapika was actually playing by ear, but he really, really didn't want Kuroro to refuse his request. Fortunately, the head of the Phantom Troupe easily guessed what Kurapika was thinking, and he stared at him warningly. Glancing at the boy, he turned and left.

As he turned out of the hallway where Kurapika and Kony were, Kurapika turned his attention back to the old professor. "I'm sorry," he said. "My brother was overprotective of me."

"With such a beautiful sister," said the old womanizer, "I won't blame him."

Kurapika lowered his eyes, pretending to be flirting with Kony: "Did you mention the dormitory arrangement just now?"

Corney's smile became quirky. "Yeah," he said. "I own some properties, and we should meet outside...and go into the details."

"In the absence of my overprotective brother?" Kurapika said clearly, "I can think of a way, such as visiting a friend for a while." The boy paused to attract Kony's attention : "But I'm afraid he will still insist on taking me out."

"I can ask my servant to take him to the living room, so you can come with me freely."

Kurapika has a real smile this time, their plan is going well, so far so good, as long as the old guy shows him the room where the red eyes are placed, the spider boss can't find them easily It's easier to steal Red Eye when Kurapika transfers Kony's eyes and ears, but Kurapika will never let the old man touch him.

He made sure his distaste wouldn't show, and Kurapika lowered his eyes and tilted his head, saying, "This is awesome." At this point, Kurapika noticed that Kuroro was returning with a bottle of juice, and their gaze When they bumped into each other, the two of them stopped immediately. The man was a little strange today. He looked very... irritable and angry, and there was something gloomy in those black eyes.

When Kuroro was able to speak, Kurapika put on a smile and said, "Ah, you're back." He said, "Listen, this professor is a good guy, he's the head of the anthropology department, and he agreed to help I choose courses so that I can get all the credits I need for the first semester with the best professors. He invited me to have dinner with his wife.”

Although for different reasons, all three men present knew that Kurapika was lying, and the boy continued, "Can I go? It will be very helpful for my future and my studies." His explanation should convince anyone who goes too far Protective brother.

Kuroro sighed, obviously acting. "Okay, I'll take you home later," he said to the boy, glancing at Kony and then at Kurapika: "I don't want you to be alone with him under any circumstances."

It's really absurd for them to deceive the old professor together. Kony is a very shallow person, but the idea of ​​cooperating with Kuroro still surprised Kurapika. He looked very innocent: "You know I will be careful, I am not a child anymore."

"It's not a bad thing to be careful." Kuroro said, "There are bad men out there." He then turned his attention to Connie: "I mean no harm, Professor."

"I understand." Coney assured him. "It means you love your sister very much. Why don't you drive behind us? You can see my house and call the police if you're worried."

There was a strange expression on Kuroro's face, but he quickly calmed down and said, "I don't think it's necessary, just tell me your address and let me know when to pick her up."

"No problem." Coney took out a card from his vest pocket and handed it to Kuroro, "Just say, 8:30?"

"I'll be there on time," the Spider Chief promised, and he turned to Kurapika and said very sternly, "Behave."

Kurapika knew Kuroro meant it, he wasn't talking about a girl approaching adulthood not to slip up in a new city, but about keeping Kurapika safe in a home full of armed criminals.The boy looked at Kuroro's leaving figure, hoping that he would go to Coney's house sooner, the professor made his skin crawl.

"Okay, then." Kony said, putting one hand on Kurapika's lower back: "Can we go?"

Kurapika suppressed the almost trembling body and the urge to back away, he let the professor take him out, the ugly man called the private driver in the process, and it seemed like a lifetime to get to Kony's house.Kurapika kept shaking his head and gesturing to the driver in the front seat, in order to let Kony's hand rest without being exposed. He didn't immediately punch the old professor in the face, which meant that Kurapika was very patient.

Kurapika thinks the drive takes a million years, and dinner with Kony and his nondescript wife (who turns out he's actually married) is an ordeal.Kurapika made sure to speak to him appropriately about anthropology, even revealing in it his interest in a tribe that was little known outside, as Kurapika suspected, when Kony's wife was there after dinner as a member of the ballet troupe. The representative took his leave, and the old professor announced that he had something special to show the boy.

The boy was led deeper into the house, passing an absurd number of men and women in black suits.Kurapika followed Kony to a basement, but unexpectedly there was a flight of stairs there.Kurapika started to feel nervous, if they made a mistake, it would be difficult for them to escape from the second basement.He took out his mobile phone and looked at the time displayed on the screen, it was just past 7 o'clock.

He really hoped Kuroro would come sooner.

Kony turned to look at Kurapika and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"Ah, no, no." Kurapika said, "I was just checking the time, I was worried it would be late." While talking, he sent Kuroro a simple text "2B"*1 message, and put the phone back in the pocket of her skirt.

Kony led Kurapika to a giant metal door, and he glanced at the boy and gave him a big, excited smile that didn't make the revulsion fade.The old professor pressed the code, and one of the men stood in the open space next to the stairs, and he grabbed what looked like a wheel, which was apparently used to control the metal door.Panting, the man twisted the wheel counterclockwise, and the door finally pushed open slightly.

"Come on," said Coney. "Over here."

Kurapika stood where he was, growing worried, and the professor seemed to be able to see the boy's doubts.

"Don't worry," he said, "it's safe." He gestured to the man who had just opened the door, and the man pulled the metal door hard, revealing the scene inside.

The display area behind the metal door looked safe, and Kurapika made sure he had the right expression before taking a step forward, but he stopped suddenly and purposefully looked at the five men standing or sitting by the door. Cast a worried look, then looked at Kony uncertainly.The old guy immediately let the guards leave, and Kurapika was willing to go into the safe display area later, and the smile on Kony's face widened as he led the boy into the deepest room.

What caught Kurapika's eyes was not just a pair of fiery red eyes, but two pairs!That old bastard has two pairs of fiery red eyes!

But not for long.

Kurapika resisted himself not to hurt Kony's face ----- that despicable man has these treasures! -----He approached Red Eye, and as he approached the display container, Kurapika gasped, letting his eyes widen in surprise, and he reached for the glass, pretending not to notice the keypad next to the stand .

Unexpectedly, Kony stopped Kurapika's movements, and he explained, "That's a siren."

"They're really..." Repulsive, soulless, creepy, not yours ----- "Beautiful!" Kurapika said, looking at the professor with those big and charming eyes: " Can I see it? I've never seen anything so beautiful."

"You can look," Coney said, "but don't touch the glass."

"I mean looking up close," Kurapika specified, and even though he hated it so much, he added, "Please."

Once again, Coney was drawn to those big eyes and pretty face.Kurapika felt a little disgusted, he wished he would never agree to pretend to be such a stupid character, damn Kuroro and his stupid plan.

Well, the stupid plan worked, Coney got the big fish, he pressed the code on the keypad, opened the display case and said, "Come on, beauty." His smile was weird and disgusting.

Kurapika opened his mouth to thank him, but the surrounding lights suddenly went out.The boy blinked, trying to get used to the darkness to see what was going on--although he already had an idea--Kurapika tried to hear Kurapika's voice when Kony yelled for someone to fix the light. Suddenly someone grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the direction of the stairs. Kurapika's heart, which had been hanging in mid-air before, suddenly calmed down strangely. He immediately followed Kuroro and ran out.

When his eyes were about to adjust to the darkness, a twisting and pulling sensation hit him suddenly, and Kurapika remembered the feeling when Kuroro's teleportation ability was activated at this time---and he appeared in the next second In a bright corridor underground.Kuroro ----- of course it was him ----- opened the first door on the left, because he was holding a book in one hand, he let go of Kurapika when he opened the door, but then grabbed the boy Holding him by the hand, he ran into the room.

There are four people sitting around the table in the room, some are playing cards, some are sitting near the window and smoking, while the other is sitting on the sofa wiping guns, everyone in the room is interested in the sudden appearance of Kuroro and Kurapika Can't react.

"We're just passing by," Kuroro said lightly.

After saying that, he dragged Kurapika and ran to the wall, and teleported to appear in the front yard.Kuroro must have planned it, because their car was parked not far from where the two were.Kuroro let go of the boy's hand, and after they both jumped into the car, he inserted the key into the ignition, and the car sped off immediately.

"Okay," Kuroro grinned, glancing at Kurapika and saying, "This is exciting."

Kurapika could only shake his head and scoff at him.
