[Hunter] Flowers and Hymns

After Veronica and Kurapika parted, they walked alone on the busy street.The afternoon sun was just right, and the ground was covered with brilliant gold from the gaps between the high-rise buildings. It was like walking on a lake of light along the way.Copper wind chimes are hung on the eaves of the roadside houses, jingling in the wind.That is the folklore of Astasia. In this city located at the junction of the desert and the ocean, people used to be buried in the sand and sea, and even the bones were nowhere to be found.Therefore, whenever someone passes away, the family members of the deceased will hang such a string of copper bells on the eaves to guide the lost souls back to their hometown.

Nowadays, such things are gradually rare, and only the custom of hanging soul-inducing bells has been preserved.One after another, the sound of Kong Yue guided the dead souls to their side.

Veronica listened quietly to the sound of the wind chimes. There were people coming and going on this street, shoulder to shoulder, but no one could see her.She walked through the crowd like a ghost, and on the suitcase in her hand was a string of copper bells that had been hung up at an unknown time.

Veronica raised her head, her pupils turned a rich golden color by the sunlight.She smiled slightly, as if she was whispering to the undead.

"Did you hear, Cosette?"

This calls out to your voice.

"Come back to me. Just like before. I've got the best seats for you."

The stage is ready and the actors are in their places.And you only need to sit on the velvet high chair I prepared for you as before, stare at me with the most beautiful eyes in the world, and wait to see me perform puppet shows one after another for you.That's all it takes.

"The revenge drama has officially begun."

[The shadow of Erinius devoured the brilliance of the frost moon

A lost month will be greeted with grand mourning

A room full of funerary objects

You will sleep before the scales

Be careful with the woman holding the rose

Twelve moons shall sink by her cross]

Kuroro put down his pen, and the angel's automatic note disappeared from his hand.

Except for Finks who didn't know his birthday, the prophecy poems of the remaining seven members all had omens of death.

"The shadow of Erinius swallowed the brilliance of Uzuki...?"

This is the first line of the prophecy poems written by the seven members. [Angel's Automatic Notes] will write four or five quatrains of prophecy, predicting the fortune of the next month, each corresponding to a week, and the first line of the first verse is often already what happened.

"Erinius is the goddess of nemesis in mythology. Frost Moon is November, which corresponds to the 11th... Falish is exactly the 11th. The person who killed her was indeed the Avenger."

Kuroro pondered for a moment, then continued to analyze.

"A room full of funerary objects. This time, the Marianna Era Exhibition will specially display the funerary objects unearthed from the No. 17 royal tomb. Because these cultural relics are newly unearthed and have great research value, they will be set up separately. An exhibition hall... so it probably refers to that place. From the analysis of past prophecy poems, words related to sleep in prophecy poems herald death. Including Nobunaga, the word "slumber" appeared in the prophecy poems of five members ' This word. That is, at least five members of the regiment will die in this exhibition hall?"

Xiao Di suddenly raised her hand, her expression was very calm, her big black eyes remained unmoved, even though what she said next was her own death.

"Leader, there is no word for balance in my prophecy poem."

While speaking this passage, she held up the prophecy poem in her hand.

[The shadow of Erinius devoured the brilliance of the frost moon

A lost month will be greeted with grand mourning

Puppet circus in black mourning

Upcoming Silent Stage Play

You and your mates splattered the stage with blood

Can't walk through dark corners

The pitch-black chains are waiting there]

Kuroro turned his head slowly, and he seemed to find it very interesting and asked back: "Chain?"

The knight reacted almost in a second: "The chain hand?"

Most people who have experienced the battle of Youkexin in 1999 have almost reacted.

No one can easily forget the young man who caused them to lose Wojin and Paconoda, and almost lost their leader, who almost tore the brigade apart.

Kuroro smiled slightly, and that smile was almost innocent, like a child who caught a bird and was about to tear off its rich and beautiful feathers.

"That orphan of the Kuruta tribe who used chains... seems to be called Kurapika. I remember he served for—"

"The Nosra family."

The knight answered this question.He quickly called up a series of web pages, searching for the information he needed.

"He's now the second in command of the Nosra family!"

"Looks like we're going to visit our 'old friend'."

Even though he was smiling, Kuroro's eyes were still as dark as a quagmire.He stood up calmly, and the black coat opened with this movement, like a crow spreading its wings.

Like a black bird that heralds death.

"Finks, Nobunaga, Franklin, Maggie, you and I will go to the Nosla family. Curt and Kubi will stay here. The knight and Xiaodi will go to the Mariana Times Exhibition, after we have settled the matter here , will go to meet you."

The crowd cheered.

The people who ignore death only desire blood and pleasure.

"Let's go."

Kuroro took the lead.

at the same time.

Veronica walked into the museum of the Mariana era exhibition, and gently inserted/put a black envelope into the breast pocket of the girl at the front desk, without the girl noticing.

Yin Hong's smile flashed across her face.Veronica turned around and left, her footsteps were as light as a cheerful dance step.

It wasn't until she walked a long way that the girl found the black envelope on her chest.When she saw the torn apart spider on the wax paint, she froze for a moment, and then burst into a crooked smile.

Tearing off the seal and watching the spider on the wax paint being completely torn apart in her hands, a sinister pleasure flashed in the girl's eyes.

On the pitch-black letter paper, the tasks assigned to her were written in blood-red handwriting.A delicate glass vial rolled out, and the girl held it tightly in her hand, sticking it to the position closest to her heart, feeling the agitation.

--finally.

Veronica walked past an old man who was talking to someone, and put the black envelope in his coat pocket, again without anyone noticing.It wasn't until her figure completely disappeared from the corner that the other party touched the envelope in his pocket.

The moment he unfolded the letter paper, the old man's eyes burst out with wild joy.

—Have you started yet? !

Veronica was sitting in the empty monitoring room, the blue light of the display screen reflected in her amber eyes, turning them into strange colors.She took out a bottle of potion, broke it piece by piece, and swallowed it raw without water.

Her expression was extremely serene.Peaceful as a black rock.

Even when I saw Xia Ke and Xiao Di walking into the museum, it was like this.

Veronica finally showed a smile when she watched them receive the rose badge representing admission permission from the front desk.

"Look, Cosette." She smiled and stroked the corners of her eyes, "This is my revenge drama for you."

So, stop crying.

"Never Enough" Lyrics:

can't you hear mescreaming once again?

voices you can'tear

because you are consuming and in content

without everlastinggreed

don'tyouseemeonmyhandsandknees?

beggingandbleeding

you'remilingasyoubitethehandthatfeeds

but will you never ever see?

always watching what your eyes can't see

feeling what your arms can't reach

thinking you are in need

always hearing what your ears can'tear

feeling what your hands can't touch

thinking you are incomplete

it was never enough that gave to you

all of the horror that you've put me through

now can't make up my mind this time?

this is where i will draw the line

sacrificed my life to be with you

why did you leave me?

there's nothing more from me you can consume

cause you are incomplete

always watching what your eyes can't see

feeling what your arms can't reach

thinking you are in need

always hearing what your ears can'tear

feeling what your hands can't touch

thinking you are incomplete

it was never enough that gave to you

all of the horror that you've put me through

now can't make up my mind this time?

this is where i will draw the line

everlasting need

would you please answer me?

and make me complete

Everlasting Greed

would you please set me free?

fulfill all my needs

and make me complete

it was never enough that gave to you

all of the horror that you've put me through

now can't make up my mind this time?

this is where i will draw the line

never againwillbewithyou

no promise of eternal carrying through

if finally made up my mind this time

this is the end

i've drawn the line

never enough to deserve your greed
