Devil May Cry Demon, which started from pirates

× Chapter 289 × Foresight
"As expected, it really didn't."

Among the auction items, Xia Na picked up an item from time to time, inspected it carefully, and then put the item back in place, with a slightly disappointed expression on his face.

Today is September 9th, and there are still two days before the start of the "Nanpisi Auction". At this time, "Nanpisi" has already placed all the auction items somewhere in the auction location, waiting With the arrival of September 4th.

Originally, Xia Na could have waited until the day the auction started, and then sneaked into the backstage to look for the "Soul Core".

But Xia Na didn't want to be so troublesome. As the saying goes: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day." Since he is in the auction area now, he doesn't have to wait until that day. It's better to come and see it now. If not, you can rest assured Inquire about news at the auction.

Now, as expected, there is no item that Shana wants among the items in the "Nanpis Auction", which makes Shana fall into deep thought.

For this second ring task, the content of the task is actually not difficult, that is, to get the "soul core", but before that, there is a major premise, that is to find it, this is the difficulty of the second ring task.

The difficulty of the four-star mission, Shaner estimated, at least three and a half stars, is in the process of finding the "soul core".

Appearance, location, and name, among these three conditions, only one condition is known, which is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, not to mention, "Soul Core" is just what we call it, for the local residents of this world In other words, maybe this thing is not called "Soul Core" at all, but has other names.

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Xia Na suddenly felt that there is a "system", which seems to be quite good, at least this thing will be more humane at certain moments, giving some reminders and the like, unlike this "data bracelet", it is Just a bracelet.

Take out the phone, select "Message", after Shana sent a message to Arthur, he put the phone away again.

Now that the matter has come to an end, it is useless to complain. Besides, the "system" is not necessarily good. Some unnecessary tasks and punishments make Shaner feel speechless.

Spatial fluctuations appeared like water ripples, and the next moment, Xia Na disappeared into this lot, as if no one had ever been there.

【A day with only a glimmer of light in the darkness】

【You face two choices in a narrow room】

【As long as death hovers around you】

[The answer is only glory and betrayal]

----

【However luck favors you】

【Look for another "White-haired Grim Reaper"】

【You can tell him all your secrets】

【"White-haired Reaper" will reward you】

【Only pay a small price】

----

[Be sure to abide by those prices]

【Survival and destruction, only in a moment】

……

Time went back to the night before, the base of the "Phantom Brigade".

Paknotan looked at the two prophecy poems in his hand, although the emotion on his face was not too big, but the ups and downs in his heart were not small.

"'White-haired Reaper'..."

Kuroro held Paknotan's prophecy poem and fell into deep thought for a while. If the guess in his heart is not wrong, then it is self-evident who this so-called "white-haired god of death" refers to.

After stealing the telekinetic ability of Nion Nosla, the daughter of the leader of the "Nosra Family", Kuroro made a prophecy for most of the team members. However, in this prophecy, only Pacono Tan's prophetic poems are the most complex.

"This 'White-haired Grim Reaper', could it be..."

Everyone present began to fall into memories. If these words were understood literally, then there was only one person with white hair that they met recently, and the breath of that person was indeed not like that of a human being. breath.

"It shouldn't be wrong, it's that guy."

"Is it your intuition again?"

"Ah."

"Oh, your intuition is always accurate."

"Captain, what should we do?"

Nobunaga looked at Kuroro who was sitting on the stone on the second floor, waiting for his boss's order.

"That's right, Nobunaga, you are responsible for contacting that person, and we will follow the plan we made just now for the rest."

Kuroro pondered for a moment before giving instructions, but Nobunaga's expression was as if he had eaten noodles stirred by a shit stick, and his complexion was extremely ugly.

…………

"So... what do you want from me?"

Back in time, Shana was sitting on the edge of a tall building, with one leg drooping naturally, the breeze brushing his cheek, his eyes looking into the distance, the beauty of the setting sun, people can't help but appreciate it.

"I want to ask you a favor."

A man's voice came from the phone, needless to say, an old acquaintance.

"tell me the story."

Shana didn't refuse, because he just thought of a very important thing some time ago, which might be of great help to the search for "Soul Core".

"...Follow our group member—Paknotan, and head to a certain place to ensure the transaction proceeds."

After being silent for nearly a minute, Nobunaga finally spoke out.

"..."

Hearing this, Shana also fell silent, because the thing in his mind was related to Paknotan, which made him feel a little puzzled, could it be such a coincidence?
As for the "deal" that Nobunaga mentioned, how could Shana, who is familiar with the plot, not know what's going on, it's just a hostage exchange in the original book.

However, Xia Na didn't expect that, why would Nobunaga know what he was thinking?Originally, Shana wanted to use this incident to sell the "Phantom Troupe" a favor, and then asked the other party to help find the "Soul Core".

However, Nobunaga came to the door on his own initiative, and the content of the conversation was almost the same as the plan in Xia Na's mind. Could it be that it is haunted?
(Could it be... that little girl's ability? But apart from this answer, there really is no other answer.)
The brain was running fast, and Shana considered various possibilities, but there was only one final result - the ability to read. Since the ability to read was thought of, and combined with the current plot, the appearance of a girl slowly appeared in Shana's mind. emerges in the mind.

And now that the guess in his heart is confirmed, there is no need to ask more questions, just agree and it's over.

"Yes, time and place."

Although the thinking time seems to be very long, in fact, the real time only flows for more than ten seconds.

"You... Forget it, I will send you a message on the time and place."

After getting this answer, Nobunaga seemed to want to say something, but he gave up in an instant, and after finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

"'Prediction ability'...is really an interesting ability."

Looking at the phone that was hung up in his hand, the corners of Xia Na's mouth curled up slightly, and then he looked up at the sky, watching the night slowly fall.

…………

"Arthur, have you been there yet?"

Walking on the road to "Lingong Airport", Shana held the food in one hand and the mobile phone in the other, talking with Arthur.

"Well, there are two people I don't know, one with black hair and one with blonde hair."

Arthur's voice came from the phone.

"Yes, wait there, I will come soon, pay attention to your surroundings."

"understood."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Na glanced at the clock tower in the distance. It was around 8 o'clock at night. With his speed, it would only take a few minutes to get to "Lin Gong Airport" from here.

However, considering some people, Shaner decided that it was better to walk slowly.

……

20 minutes later, Lingong Airport, at the entrance.

"If your regiment leader knew what you were thinking, he wouldn't know how helpless he would be."

As soon as he arrived at "Lingong Airport", Shana saw a woman with a tall hooked nose and shoulder-length blonde short hair, wearing a bare-chested female office worker's outfit. Beside her, there were Jie and Qi Ya.

"This voice..."

"Shouldn't it be..."

Hearing this familiar voice, Xiaojie and Qi Ya turned around and saw two familiar figures.

"Urizen!"

"Yo, long time no see."

Xia Na looked at the two children with a still cold expression on his face. Although there was a smile on his face, no matter how he looked at it, it was a sneer.

"You know these two kids?"

Seeing Xia Na greet Xiaojie and Qi Ya like this, Paknotan on the side fell into a panic, if the other party suddenly turned his face...

"Don't worry, although I know these two, it does not hinder my transaction with you."

Xia Na ignored the two, but talked to Paknotan, with a relaxed attitude.

"..."

Paknotan didn't speak, but just looked at Xia Na silently, as if he was worried about something.

"Hmph, believe it or not, let's go, do you still want your captain?"

With a soft snort, Shana stepped up and walked towards the airport, while Arthur followed beside him. After a while, Paknotan chose to follow. Although Xiaojie and Qiya didn't speak, they vaguely noticed a trace of Something was wrong, so I just followed silently.

Arriving at this huge airport, it was raining moderately in the sky at the moment, but everyone present didn't care, just drenched in the rain and headed to the destination.

However, in the process of going, a figure came out from the darkness on the side. After the figure appeared, everyone except Shaner and Arthur was shocked, especially Paknotan, because that person was Hisoka, At this time, he was on the phone, communicating with someone.

"Don't worry, I found a substitute to stay there."

Hisoka said as he walked.

"What are you thinking of?"

An anxious voice came from the phone, as if shocked by Hisoka's appearance.

"Let me board this spaceship too, or I'll kill Jay and Kiya on the spot."

"You bastard!"

"My target is only the captain. If you release him, I will disembark immediately... I just want to fight the captain."

"..."

The voice on the phone fell silent, as if thinking about it, Hisoka wasn't worried at all.

"I won't disturb your reunion, I will watch you from the sidelines."

Just when Paknotan was surprised, a voice brought her back to God, but she followed the sound and found that there was no one there, except for the raindrops, there was only air.

"Don't bother to look for me, I'm by your side. In order to ensure the development of the incident, this child and I will not show up, but we will always be by your side. Go, your leader is waiting for you. "

The sound drifted past Paknotan's ears. It seemed to be very close and yet far away. After a short period of contemplation, Paknotan stopped paying attention and took Xiaojie and Qiya to the flying ship.

As for Xiaojie and Qiya?They were wondering at this moment when Shaner and Arthur disappeared, and they couldn't even feel their breath, but Shaner's voice was nearby.

However, Shana and Arthur were beside them, but their figures were hidden by "space", and they used "absolute" at the same time, so they reached a certain sense of non-existence.
