(Taboo of Alchemy)

A bunch of fresh white calla lilies stood in front of the tomb, and the flowers and leaves trembled slightly in the wind.Seeing someone approaching, the black crow that stepped on the tombstone flapped its wings and flew away. In the direction of the setting sun, the setting sun melted gold, and the ear-piercing croaking of the crow gradually faded away.

No one speaks.

After an unknown amount of time, a gust of wind suddenly blew up on the ground, making Tina's hair stand on end, and she took two steps back abruptly, staring at Bilika's side face, stepping back cautiously in small steps, and kept going. She retreated to a distance she thought was safe enough, turned around abruptly, and ran away crying.

Bilika stood with her head bowed for a while, then sat down in front of Susan's tomb with her knees folded, looked at the tombstone ecstatically, and whispered: "There are two taboos in alchemy. The first is to make gold, and the second is to It's made by the human body." The speed of speech was extremely slow, as if explaining to Tina who was no longer here, and as if talking to herself.

Hisoka remembered that she had said something similar in the final test of the hunter assessment.

"When I first learned alchemy, I didn't have much real sense of these two restrictions. At that time, I was very happy to be able to refine a kitten with a silver spoon. Human body is too far away from me. But then As I learn more and more about forming formations, I can't help but think, why is this?"

Hisoka knew very well that the current Bilika didn't need any answer, so he silently sat down next to her, and looked at the black granite tombstone in the same posture.

Sure enough, Bilika went on to say: "Actually, the reason is very simple. According to the principle of equivalent exchange, one thing is exchanged for one thing. The life of the dead is exchanged for the life of the living."

Hisoka put away his usual smile, and a slight crease formed between his brows. "So, in the end, someone touched it, right? A taboo made by the human body."

Billika nodded slightly.She bit her lips tightly, tears swirling in her eyes, and in the end she couldn't help it, and she just restrained crying, raised the back of her hand to wipe her tears, and tried not to make a sound.

When starting from home, including her, there were only four children of the same age in the town.In fact, there were two other people who grew up with them, but died in the winter five years ago.

On the day Paul died, he had come to see Tiki.

The young Bilika was tiptoeing to pick up fruit from the dining table as high as her nose, when she heard the quarrel suddenly, she became curious and tiptoed over to eavesdrop.

Tiki had just come out of the lab, his curly hair was so messy that it was almost knotted.He turned on the faucet and washed his face with cold water. When he regained his energy, he took a towel to dry off the water on his face, put on the glasses with thick bottoms of the milk bottle again, waved his hands casually, and drove Paul back impatiently.

Paul grabbed Tiqi's sleeve, his face covered with snot and tears: "I don't care! Any price is fine, as long as... as long as Judy can come back..."

Immediately afterwards, Bilika, who was hiding behind the door, was discovered by Tiqi and forcefully carried her back to the room.The next day, Paul disappeared.

His alchemy was better than Bilika's, but in the end he only produced a pile of black coke, and even his own body and soul were put into it.

Bilika shrank herself into a small ball, buried her head in her arms, and shrugged her shoulders, like a kitten abandoned by its owner in the rain.

Hisoka sighed softly, the little guy is too weak, weak in strength and weak in character, but it is strange and hard to be annoying.

He stretched out his arm and stroked her hair lightly a few times, and said, "Come closer."

Birika raised her head inexplicably, her eyes soaked in tears were clear, she obediently moved her body towards Hisoka.

Without much effort, Hisoka picked her up and put her on his lap, and patted her on the back unskillfully like coaxing a child.

Bilika stiffened for a moment, and her back gradually softened.Lying in Hisoka's arms, I could feel the strength of his arms, the warmth of his chest, and the fragrance of pine wood, like a dream, a dream in the cold and dark cave outside Yuyin Village.

Words are feeble at this moment, and a hug is the best comfort.

The old memories and the grievance and helplessness experienced recently came up together, and Bilika finally burst into tears.

***

After crying enough, Bilika rubbed her eyes and started to feel sleepy, but unfortunately she didn't fall asleep.

"Well, sorry, excuse me." Allen stood in the distance, pressed the top of Tina's head, and said, "This child is crying a lot, can you give us the space in front of the tombstone?"

"Yes, I'm sorry!" It was so strange to think about crying in front of a stranger's grave, Bilika struggled to stand up from Hisoka's arms, and wiped her tears frantically.

"If you can, please use this." A clean handkerchief was handed over in front of her, and she looked over her arm. It was a girl who was older than Tina, and she bowed to Bilika solemnly to thank: "My name is Manny, It's the child's older sister. I heard that you repaired the pedal of Tina's pedal boat, thank you so much!" Then, he called Tina over, patted her on the back twice, and urged: " Now, Tina, thank you sister!"

"...Thank you sister." Tina was holding a small bunch of white chrysanthemums in her hand, hiding behind Manny, with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, only half of her face was exposed.

It seems to be frightened by her.

It seems that when I learned to "refine" at the bottom of the trap tower, it became more and more difficult to control my aura, and if I was not careful, I would show a frightening aura.Bilika smiled helplessly, and avoided the side.

Manny took little Tina to the grave to lay flowers. Allen obviously knew the two sisters a long time ago, and walked behind, pretending not to see Bilika's red eye circles, and asked her in surprise: "So Bilika Ka is an alchemist, are you traveling now?"

"Hmm." Bilika had just cried, and with a strong nasal voice, she asked cautiously: "Well, Susan, why..."

"Because of illness." It was Manny who answered, her eyebrows drooped, looking very sad: "Tina has had the best time with Susan and Nicole since she was a child, and she never expected to become like this."

Bilika vaguely felt that the name Nicole was familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.

Manny squatted beside Tina, comforting her tenderly: "People's life will come to an end one day, the body will return to the earth, and flowers and plants will grow on it, and the soul will turn into memories and continue to live in people's hearts. Life and objects It's different, an alchemist is not a god, so Tina must never say anything about refining into Susan in the future. That will not only make it difficult for this sister and Aunt Quanmei, but also a kind of blasphemy for Susan, understand? ?”

Tina nodded half-understanding, and Aaron conjured up a top hat out of nowhere, put it on his head, and bared his big white teeth at Tina in a strange way: "And, if there is a strange top hat The fat uncle asked you if you want to bring Susan back to life, please ignore him!"

"Mr. Millennium." Bilika interjected, "Does the Duke of Millennium really exist in this world?"

The first show performed by the circus last night was not acrobatics, but a skit about the villainous Millennium Duke who went around cheating, taking advantage of people's resentment for the dead, summoning the dead, and ordering the loss of self The conscious necromancer kills the relatives or friends in front of them, and combines the soul of the dead with the body of the living to create a demon.

Demons are usually no different from ordinary people, but once they tear off that layer of human skin camouflage and attack wantonly, they will cause large-scale casualties.

"Of course it exists." Allen's face was not very good, as if recalling some bad memories, at the same time he glanced at Bilika suspiciously, and corrected him: "But it's not the Duke of the Millennium, but the Earl of the Millennium." The Earl of the Millennium is full of evil, How can you use such a respectful and affectionate title as "Millennium Duke".

Bilika immediately changed her words: "Oh, the Earl of the Millennium." After speaking, she felt a little strange, as if she had heard the title "Millennium Lord" somewhere.

***

On the way out of the cemetery, the three of Tina walked in front, and Bilika walked behind holding Hisoka's hand with a kick. "How does Mr. Hisoka think about the question of life and death?"

For ordinary people, this may be a philosophical question worthy of serious consideration, but for Hisoka, it is more interesting to study why Bilika took the initiative to hold hands.

He moved the corner of his mouth disdainfully, rubbed the ball of his thumb back and forth on the back of Bilika's hand, and replied casually: "The dead people have no feeling for a long time. Well, it doesn’t matter if you create demons, isn’t it all the willfulness of living people talking about themselves?”

"Ah, that's right." Bilika immediately followed Hisoka's intentions and began to reflect, but Hisoka stopped at this moment, just raised his eyebrows, and his aura suddenly changed.

Bilika followed his gaze, and happened to see the back of a man turning the street corner. The man was tall and thin, with silver hair hanging down to his waist.

"Oh, it's rare to want to relax, and troubles have come up again." After saying this, Hisoka's voice became obviously high-pitched and thin, which is his usual performance when he is excited.

"Go back to the hotel room and wait for me obediently." After saying this, Hisoka let go of Bilika's hand, retreated into the alley next to him, and quickly disappeared.

Bilika couldn't figure it out, she walked forward while staring at the entrance of the alley, and suddenly bumped into a person.

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Bilika first apologized for not concentrating on walking, then looked up and saw that it was someone she had met.

A little girl with braids was held in the arms of a blond woman with stiff limbs, grinning at Bilika.

"Nicole..." The moment Bilika saw the little girl, she suddenly remembered her name, distractedly thinking that the dead Susan was Nicole's sister.

At this moment, Allen, who was walking in front, suddenly squatted down covering his left eye in pain, and said in a suppressed voice, "Evil... devil..."

Through the cracks of the fingers, one can see that the place where the whites of the eyes should have been is now pitch black, and the blood-red eyes are spinning rapidly, like the muzzle of a gun looking for prey.
