[Hunter] Flowers and Hymns

Veronica looked at the face in front of her with a peaceful heart.

How long had she waited for this day?And what did you pay for?

She can't remember.

The only thing that is clear is that the murderer who killed Cosette is now standing in front of her.

All the languages ​​and vocabulary in this world can't describe her mood at this moment.Whether it is the hustle and bustle of the heart or the noise of the outside world, at this moment, it is silent, as quiet as death.

In this silence, only that voice is so clear.It was so clear that it occupied all of Veronica's consciousness, condensed in her throat, and then rolled down from the tip of her tongue like a sharp knife——

"Finally, I see you."

Veronica didn't know that when she said this, she was smiling.

That smile is so sweet, but also so vicious, full of tenderness, deep-rooted hatred... In the end, it twisted into a crooked ecstasy.

That kind of expression was no stranger to Kurolo Luciru.That was something the Phantom Troupe had long been familiar with and turned a blind eye to.

—Hate from the Avengers.

"Are you here for revenge?" Kuroro covered his mouth with one hand and pondered, "Then, there is no room for negotiation—kill it."

At this moment, Veronica almost wanted to laugh.However, as soon as the muscles tensed, there was an earth-shaking colic in her internal organs, which interrupted her unfinished movements.So what slipped out of the mouth was only a series of intermittent small smiles, tinged with blood.

Expected.

Because it is completely unexpected, it makes people feel unreal.

"As expected...you don't remember Cosette."

"Cosette?"

Kuroro recited the name he had mentioned two hours ago, and a dazed expression appeared on his face.

"...Ah, I can't even remember, it's her."

—I can’t even remember.

Yes, the head of the Phantom Brigade, the bandit leader of the A-level thieves gang, countless people die at his hands every year. How could he remember the face of a girl who was killed by him three years ago? ?

The girl's venomous whispers before she died naturally never remained in his memory.

If not, how could he say such a thing——

"Are you her sister in terms of age?"

Veronica, who came to this world a few years later than Cosette, is one year younger than Cosette in terms of physical age.

Lo and behold.

Not only does he not remember your face, this man doesn't even remember your last statement before he died.

——My sister will avenge me.

Cosette, my dear Cosette, he killed you so easily, and so easily forgot you.

It's so unfair, isn't it?

Well, let me help him remember you.Use every minute and every second of the rest of his life to remember your name.Bitterly resentful.Never forget until death.

— No matter the rest of his life, how many minutes and seconds are left.

"I am Cosette's sister."

Veronica put down the hymn in her hand, smiled and looked at the spiders bursting out in front of her.

"As for names, that's not important."

Yes, the name Veronica, it doesn't matter at all.

Because it was not a woman named Veronica who avenged Chrollo Rusilu here.

It was Cosette, the only sister who died under Chrollo Roussillo.

She is nothing but an Avenger.

He has wiped out his human emotions, and has never degenerated into a demon for killing people for fun.

It's just purely a tool to achieve the goal of revenge.

For this reason, no matter what she has to give up, she will not hesitate.

In front of the Phantom Troupe, the girl in a black dress like mourning raised her right hand high, and on the pitch-black cross, a black light that was purer than darkness suddenly exploded!

The brigade moved very fast, Franklin opened the finger machine.shut.gun, Maggie's thoughts were like the silk of a poisonous spider, and Nobunaga's sword light was faster than Finks' fist, and it didn't even take a blink of an eye. , and has already attacked Veronica.

However, it was too late.

Because light is faster than them!

With the cross as the center, dozens of beams of thought power condensed and attacked in all directions. Since Nobunaga charged the fastest, if he didn't dodge in time, he would almost hit the hot beam head-on.However, the long knife in his hand was not so lucky, just brushing the edge of the light beam, the blade melted into a puddle of metallic liquid.

The light beam forced the Phantom Brigade to scatter and dodge for a while, before Maggie took a breath, countless pitch-black bullets struck them from the gap of the light beam!

"Damn! What are these things?!"

Finks' swearing didn't sound like your usual outburst.

"Abandon all other forms, and condense the mind power into a pure mind bomb?" Kuroro pondered, "Good usage, Finx, Nobunaga, come back here."

"Hey! Kurolo, are we getting together to be a target for this woman?!"

Nobunaga complained while rushing towards Kuroro.

Finx gritted his teeth: "If Feitan is still here, who will get this woman..."

Without saying a word, Maggie nimbly dodged the incoming bullets and rushed to Kuroro's side.

When all the spiders gathered, Kuroro held the rosary on his right wrist, and the faint blue light shone brightly. In the next second, a barrier of thought power suddenly opened in front of them!

The chanting bomb hit the chanting curtain, making a bang.The building was riddled with holes in the attack just now, and the scattered energy beams hit such a wall, making a crunching sound of collapse after a while.

"...As expected."

A clear smile flashed across Kuroro's face.

In the center of the chanting, blood slid down Veronica's face.She opened her blood-smeared eyes and saw the barrier that prevented her from moving forward.

——A dark blue barrier of thought power.

At that moment, something broke in her brain.

After Nian Bo's attack paused, the pitch-black light beam suddenly became violent!Countless black lights bit the spiders like poisonous snakes, and when they hit the barrier, they turned into countless small snakes and scatter around, turning around nimbly, attacking them from behind the spiders!

Veronica's eye sockets were almost torn open, revealing bitter resentment and cruelty.Yin Hong seeped out from under her black dress, turned into streaks of blood and rolled down her naked skin.

Without the repair of the power of thought contained on the cross, Veronica's already severely injured internal organs completely collapsed, but she ignored the severe pain of her internal organs being crushed, and poured her own power of thought into the cross instead. Up, maintain that crazy attack!

——to die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die, to die—! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Thoughts shattered, breathing disordered, sanity broken.There was nothing in Veronica's mind anymore, only the blue agate rosary on Chrollo Rusilu's wrist was so vivid.

……give me back.

...Give me back Cosette's rosary!

...Give me back my sister! ! ! ! ! !

The author has something to say: Happy New Year.

BGM of this chapter: EternalTearsofSorrow-《TheLastOneforLife》

The lyrics and translation are as follows:

I hear the silent whispers,

I only hear silent whispers

Darkness still uponme,

Darkness still surrounds me

All those empty words

all those hearts that have been buried

from the buried heart

empty rhetoric

Idon't know where fear ends

I don't know where the fear will end

andwhere hatebegins,

I don't know where the hate started

It's all the sametome,

both are the same anyway

Life is falling apart

life is falling apart

Handinhand...sidebyside

hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder

I walk with fate in the night

I walk with fate in the night

Thered fluid of life is flowing right along my arms,

The liquid of life flows down my arms

Ifeel the sweet blade diving deep inside,

I feel the sweet blade diving deep into the skin

This moment I've been waiting for so long a time,

I've waited so long for this moment

when I know the last cut will be formy life

When I know it's the last moment before I die

I've looked through the eyes of pain

I look through painful eyes

and seen the smile of death

I saw the smile of death

I've wandered in the shadows of my fears

I've been teetering on the edge of fear

The feathers of a white dove

dove feathers

werestainedbydarkenedtears

stained with a line of muddy tears

The final tune is soon to be played

the end is coming

Handinhand...sidebyside

hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder

I walk with death in the night

I walk with death in the night
