[Hunter] Flowers and Hymns

The pitch-black chain was pulled out from Kube's chest with blood, Kurapika turned around nimbly, dodging the swift blow behind him, Kurt Beater saw that he missed the blow, and immediately used his limbs, his figure was like a ghost Hiding in the darkness, Kurapika subconsciously raised his hand to cover his left rib, where there was a bone-deep wound, blood slid down, and his fiery red eyes watched the darkness warily.

"Kurapika! Watch out for the right side!"

Almost at the same time as the sound of the melody sounded, Kurapika's chains had already struck to the right. Kurt deftly avoided the blow, but his own attack also missed, and the gorgeous furisode kimono seemed to be unable to restrain him. His movements, he jumped up silently like a cat, the paper fan in his right hand brushed against Kurapika's back like a blade!

"——!!!"

Amid the gushing blood, Curt's smile was once again hidden in the darkness.Kurapika stood on the ground with one hand, and several deep and long bloody mouths opened on his back. He took a deep breath and stood up again.

"Melody, can you hear it?"

There was a soft response from the headset, and Kurapika tightened the muscles in his back, stopping the blood flow.

"Then it's all up to you."

"I see—above!"

Countless scraps of paper fell down like white snow, those fluffy scraps of paper seemed harmless, but Kurapika did not dare to take it lightly.The chains spun violently, sweeping away all the scraps of paper like a whirlwind, and the impact of thought and thought caused a storm, and the squeezed wind blades tore apart the building, causing dust to fly.Amidst the loud noise of falling bricks and stones, Kurapika's voice was so clear and cold.

"Caught."

After removing Yin, the chains spread across the entire building like a huge spider web.And Curt Beat the Enemy, like a butterfly caught in a net, was firmly bound by chains and forced into a desperate state, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free.The healing thumb chain with the cross was retracted, and all the wounds that Kurapika had fallen before were healed.

"It's your bad habit to like to play with prey," Kurapika said, "so I used this to cast a net."

"...you are from the materialization department..."

"It seems that the brigade did not tell you about my ability. It is also based on this judgment that I have been misleading you during the process of killing Kube, making you think that I am an operating system."

Kurt gritted his teeth.

"You are the one who beat the enemy Hakka. Four years ago, I saw you in the beat enemy Hakka."

Curt's eyes became more and more cold: "You are the guy who took my brother away..."

"Why do the people who beat the Hakkas get mixed up with the Phantom Troupe?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

Kurapika thought for a moment.

He is Qi Ya's relative...

The commandment chain of the little finger shot out, piercing Kurt's chest and licking his heart.

"The wedge of rings was inserted into your heart just now. As long as you violate the restrictions I set, the chains will immediately strangle your heart. So you must carefully remember every word I say next."

Kurapika's eyes narrowed.

“[Any further contact with members of the Phantom Brigade is prohibited.]”

The residence of the Nosra family.Kuroro let go, and the last bodyguard fell to the ground. Amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, the black-haired man casually smeared blood on the wall, leaving a long trail of blood.He walked up to Wright Nosla and knelt down slowly.

"Mr. Nosra? I want to ask you to do me a favor. After I finish this favor, I will let you leave safely."

He smiled at the pale Nosra.

"Don't worry, I will keep my promise."

However, Wright Nosla is the boss of a gang after all, and he couldn't keep calm when he heard such words, he almost roared angrily.

"W-Who would believe you!? You just killed us all!"

"Is that what you mean by refusal?"

Kuroro tilted his head. Behind him, Maggie came down from downstairs, two women were tied with silk thread in her hands, one was a girl and the other was a woman holding a baby.The moment he saw the three of them, Wright Nosla's eyes almost popped out of his sockets.

"Ni, Nion?! Maglan?! Carter?!"

"By the way, this woman seems to be your lover?"

Kuroro casually grabbed the woman's hair, so that the tearful face was facing Wright Nosla.As soon as the woman opened her mouth to call out Nosra's name, her head was tilted to one side inconceivably, and her neck was bent at an unimaginable angle.Kuroro withdrew the knife amidst the girl's screams, and looked at Nosra calmly.

"You see, I am very good at keeping my promises."

——So you say you don't agree, and I'll kill your lover.

"You... you devil!!" Nosra roared, "Get out of Nion!!!"

"Should I still refuse?" Kuroro sighed regretfully, "Then there is no way."

"No aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

Amid the girl's hoarse screams, Kuroro brought up the baby in the female corpse's arms, and the baby's crying stopped abruptly in his hands, and the young head made a very dull sound in his palm - poof.

Then Kuroro let go, and the baby's body fell heavily on the ground, its head twisted into a strange shape.

In Wright Nosla's eyes, the man's handsome face was as terrifying as a ghost.Nosra finally caught sight of his eyes, which were chillingly calm, as if he had just thrown away a bunch of waste paper.

"Krollo...Mr. Lucilo...?"

Niwon finally recognized who the person in front of her was, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she couldn't connect the murderous villain in front of her with the man who made her heart flutter at Youkexin's auction.

"Huh?" Kuroro's eyes were really curious, "You know me?"

Nyon's throat tightened because of panic, and he made a rattling sound. Kuroro thought for a moment, and the thief's secret book appeared in his hand, and the pages of the book flicked, and stopped on a certain page, looking at the book on the page. Only then did he remember where he had seen her before.

"Ah, by the way, it's the lady from the Nosra family who has the ability to predict."

The black demon smiled.

"Your ability is very useful, thank you very much."

Nyon couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence at first, but when she remembered the day she lost her ability to read with Kuroro, her face suddenly changed.

"Could it be that my ability—?!"

"It helped me a lot, that ability."

The moment Kurolo's hand grabbed Nyon's throat, Wright Nosla finally understood what the demon had said before.

I promised I'd let you off if you did me this little favor.I'm a man of promises - look, you said no, so I killed your lover.Didn't I do that?Then I told you again, if you still disagree, I will kill your son.Now only your daughter is left—

"I promise! I promise! No matter what I do, I promise! So let go of Nion!!!"

Kuroro let go of her hand, and Nion's body was slumped to the ground. She coughed violently, cried and crawled to her father's side, hugging his arm tightly.

"Have you finally agreed?"

Kuroro raised his hand, the blue agate rosary beads on his wrist shone slightly, and the faint blue thought power coiled up, covering the original deep purple thought, and even the color of the pupils seemed to be changed.Opening the thief's cheat book in his hand, a piece of red cloth materialized by the power of thought opened suddenly, and a puppet fell out.

The doll was about one person tall and looked like an adult woman. The eyes made of aquamarine were extremely beautiful, as if condensed with thousands of stars.Kuroro raised the doll's chin and pressed his lips to the doll's lips.You Lan's thought power poured into the puppet's body, it was only for a moment, the wooden eyelids blinked, the puppet stretched a long waist, and sat up from the ground.

"What, did you wake me up again?"

The doll complained, stood up holding the gorgeous rococo skirt, and turned around lightly.

"Then, I'll leave it to you, Cynthia." Kurolo said.

"Although I wish you bastard to die now, who made you the 'master'." The voice of the female puppet was almost gnashing her teeth, and she held up the hem of her skirt and curtsied reluctantly, "Cynthia is here to offer you my strength."

Nobunaga scratched his stomach and clicked his tongue while watching the doll.

"Looking at it like this, I really can't see it. Is that guy really the 'Puppeteer' from Meteor Street?"

Franklin's voice was low: "Her ability to manipulate people makes even the Presbyterians fearful."

Finx sneered disdainfully: "No matter how strong he was, he still died at the hands of his adopted daughter? Even his heart was dug out, and he was turned into a puppet by that little girl, and now he is neither human nor ghost."

Nobunaga looked over there: "Anyway, she is the leader's thing now...not just her, the little girl's doll is now the leader's doll. Speaking of which, what is the girl's name? I will I remember a nickname, it seems to be... what kind of puppet master?"

Finks was even more disdainful: "Who would remember such a trivial name?"

Franklin still had some impressions: "Nightmare puppeteer? The commotion she made when she left Meteor Street was really big... rushed into the prison/prison and rescued a condemned prisoner, and the two escaped successfully under heavy siege. It's embarrassing. But I don't remember her name either."

Nobunaga touched his chin: "Speaking of which, is that girl still alive?"

Franklin shrugged: "Who knows. But since her abilities and puppet are in the hands of the leader, she should still be alive."

The author has something to say: Well, everyone is now free to guess why Kuroro killed Cosette. It is still impossible to guess, and reading comprehension needs remedial lessons.

The BGM of Chapter 18 has been replaced, and the BGM of Chapter 22 has been added. You can listen to it if you want to.

BGM: Epica-《CryForTheMoon》

The translation of the lyrics is as follows:

Follow your common sense

You cannot thin yourself

Behind Fairy Tale Forever and Ever

Only by revealing the whole truth can we close

The soul of this sick bul wark forever and ever

Forever and ever

be faithful to your judgment

stop dodging

Hidden forever in that fairytale dream

Only by revealing the whole truth,

to shatter this feeble castle forever

forever and ever…

Indoctrinated mindssoveryoften

Containsickthoughts

And commit most of the evil they preach against

those indoctrinated heads

infected with sick thoughts

Those who want to refuse and welcome are doing all kinds of evil deeds

Don't try to convince me with messengers from God

You accuse us of sins committed by yourself

It's easy to condemn without looking in the mirror

Behind the scenes opens reality

don't try to convince me with oracle

The crime you accused me must have been committed by you

Please stand in front of the mirror before criticizing

Behind the curtain is the hidden truth

Eternal silence cries out for justice

Forgiveness is not for sale

Noristhe will to forget

Eternal silence weeps for judgment

Forgiveness is not a cheap commodity

not forgetting for the sake of forgetting

Follow your common sense

You cannot thin yourself

Behind Fairy Tale Forever and Ever

Only by revealing the whole truth can we close

The soul of this sick bul wark forever and ever

Forever and ever

be faithful to your judgment

stop dodging

Hidden forever in that fairytale dream

Only by revealing the whole truth,

to shatter this feeble castle forever

forever and ever…

Virginity has been stolen at very young ages

And the extinguishing her loses her immunity

Morbidabuseofpowerinthegardenofeden

Where the apple gets say youthful

Innocence was lost in that golden age

Who can quench the raging desire

In the garden of Eden where the fiery flower of wisdom bloomed

Whose hot thoughts are flooded

Eternal silence cries out for justice

Forgiveness is not for sale

Noristhe will to forget

Eternal silence weeps for judgment

Forgiveness is not a cheap commodity

not forgetting for the sake of forgetting

Follow your common sense

You cannot thin yourself

Behind Fairy Tale Forever and Ever

Only by revealing the whole truth can we close

The soul of this sick bul wark forever and ever

Forever and ever

be faithful to your judgment

stop dodging

Hidden forever in that fairytale dream

Only by revealing the whole truth,

to shatter this feeble castle forever

forever and ever…

Eternal silence cries out for justice

Forgiveness is not for sale

Noristhe will to forget

Eternal silence weeps for judgment

Forgiveness is not a cheap commodity

not forgetting for the sake of forgetting

You can't go on hiding yourself

Behind old fashioned fairytales

And keep washing your hands innocence

please don't hold back

Hiding in that outdated eternal fairy tale

Then wash your hands with innocence.
