Hunter x Hunter: Kurama joins the Phantom Troupe

Chapter 164 Partner X and X Undercover?

In the central cafeteria on the fifth floor, all members of the brigade gathered again.

However, this time is different from the past...

Twelve people...

The two extra people are Ilmi (11) and Kurt (9)...

Everyone sat around the largest table in the central cafeteria.

Ace sat between Xiaodi and Finks, holding up his chin with his hands, and glanced at Ilmi and Kurt inconspicuously.

Frowning slightly...

These two were too close to Hisoka... so she had to be on guard.

Because of the tragic deaths of the knight and three other members, everyone's faces were more or less gloomy than usual.

The hot-tempered Wo Jin clenched his fists and opened his eyes wide, feeling that if anyone pointed at him, he would smash the place to pieces.

"Everyone looks unhappy... I'm also in a bad state..." (Ace's inner voice)

Franklin reported to the head of the group:

"It is not known which floor Hisoka is on." (Franklin)

Wo Jin shouted angrily:

"Do we need to..." (Wo Jin)

"Wojin!" (Fenx, Nobunaga)

Before Wo Jin could finish his shout, Finks and Nobunaga interrupted the spell with a loud shout.

After silence, Franklin continued:

"We have been searching for any human being over 1.9 meters tall, but we have turned the fifth floor upside down and still haven't found him." (Franklin)

"At present, the passage between the 3rd to 5th floors has been controlled by the mafia. The th floor is controlled by the Gassia family, the th floor is controlled by the Xiuwuwu family, and the rd floor is controlled by the Aiyiyi family." (Ace)

"Most of the passengers provided labor and services on the ship, served as experimental subjects and organ mothers, and some came on board with the promise of work on shore." (Ace)

"The state uses every possible means to squeeze value out of passengers, and the remaining tiny profits are pocketed by the mafia." (Ace)

Chrollo looked at Ace and said:

"Ace, how much do you know about Hisoka's abilities?" (Chrollo)

Ace tapped his head, thinking back to the battle that day, and spoke calmly.

"To be honest... I didn't force him to reveal too many of his hidden cards before he caught me." (Ace)

"All I know is that his glue seems to have improved a lot... I may still be inferior to him until I fully understand my own abilities..." (Ace)

At this time, footsteps were heard from the entrance of the cafeteria in the distance, and Ace turned his head and glanced in that direction.

A group of people were walking towards them, some of them had rose tattoos on their bodies.

When other passengers on the road saw them, they jumped aside as if they were facing a great enemy, hiding in all directions out of fear...

Ace turned his head back and ignored them.

The leader looked at Ilmi and said:

"Illumi, please introduce yourself to everyone and predict where Hisoka is going." (Chrollo)

[All the team: I don’t think it’s necessary, team leader. We are all familiar with each other. If we come here every few days to cause trouble, we can always bring up the other party’s family tree and say a few words.]

Ilmi opened his eyes wide.

"I don't know the details. We are playing hide-and-seek." (Ilmi)

Then he waved and greeted the other members of the group.

"Hi, everyone. I'm Illumi, the eldest son of the Zoldyck family. Killua and Kurt are my younger brothers. This time I joined the brigade because of Hisoka's request." (Illumi)

"Although our relationship is one of mutual assistance, one day we will fight to the death, and now it seems that it will happen soon." (Ilmi)

Everyone else was speechless...

[Everyone: Damn it… They’re so familiar with each other, but they’re still introducing themselves… It’s even more ridiculous than a certain couple who refused to admit they were in a relationship even after one of them died…]

"Is his assassination target himself, or if he dies, I can get my reward. The "engagement ring" can also be called a "prenuptial contract." (Ilmi)

Hearing this, Ace's frown deepened.

Her own ability strength comes from "oaths and constraints", so she is more or less sensitive to this kind of things.

Ace vaguely felt that perhaps this so-called "prenuptial contract" was some kind of oath and restriction, but...

I have no idea what kind of thing it is based on just this "name"...

"He and I will definitely fight to the death, so I don't know where he is." (Ilmi)

When the members of the brigade were collectively speechless and Ilmi introduced himself, the group of people had already pulled out their pistols and surrounded the brigade.

The bald bearded man who seemed to be the leader came behind the leader and said:

"Sorry, this place has been reserved by us, could you please move aside?" (Bald Bearded Man)

Just as Wo Jin Gang was about to have a fit, he was hit hard on the back of his head. His eyes immediately became dazed and he fell on the table.

Ace reluctantly pulled back the chain.

The team leader responded expressionlessly without even turning his head.

"We need it here, you guys go somewhere else." (Chrollo)

The people on both sides were eager to try, and several of them raised their pistols slightly. The bearded man quickly reached out to stop a few of them and continued to communicate with the team leader.

"Your Phantom Troupe, right? They are a well-known name among the Mafia. Thanks to the big fuss you caused in Youkexin, the balance of power in the Mafia was reshuffled." (Bald Beard)

"Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, we easily took ownership of the New World. In other words, you can be considered our benefactors." (Big Beard)

The flattery in the first half ended, and it turned into intimidation...

"Although we don't want to argue with you, we can't let others look down on us mafia. If you just walk away quietly, we won't do anything to you." (Big Beard)

Finally... it's bribery...

I have to say, this bearded man really understands the ways of the world, he flatters while not forgetting to use threats and inducements.

"Since you boarded this ship, there must be a reason... We can help." (Big Beard)

After listening to this, the team leader thought for a moment, then waved his hand and stood up. Seeing this, the other team members also stood up and prepared to leave.

Nobunaga silently carried Ugin on his shoulders...

Sad~

Eyes of intention

Seeing this scene, the bearded man finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief...

The captain walked up to him and said to him as they passed by:

"We are looking for a man named Hisoka, who is over 1.9 meters tall and exudes an ominous aura. This is our primary goal." (Kuroro)

The bearded man looked at the other members of the brigade...

Ignore height, ignore gender...

Damn, are all of you guys Hisoka? !

"We'll check the passenger list of the King's Army later, but don't hold out too much hope. There are also illegal passengers like us. You can find them on this floor, but if you want to go to 3 or 4, you'll need to enter and exit the roll. On the surface, it's designated for the King's Army, but in fact it's controlled by the Mafia." (Big Beard)

"If you want to freely enter and exit the fifth floor, why not join our Gasia family?" (Big Beard)

"Thank you for your warm invitation, but please let us decline. How about we first listen to your exchange terms?" (Chrollo)

"I told you guys to just get out of the way. If you want to cause trouble, please go somewhere else." (Big Beard)

The team leader showed a slightly smug expression.

"I'll give it to you guys... I'm planning on leaving anyway." (Chrollo)

"Is there a way to get to the first floor?" (Chrollo)

The bearded man's face has turned a little dark...

"Don't be so arrogant! Leave before I regret it! Leave quickly." (Bearded man)

Ace rolled his eyes and thought to himself:

"What if I regret it? Kill me?" (Ace's inner voice)

The team leader's smug expression became even more pronounced, and he led the team members out of the cafeteria.

Looking at the backs of the group members leaving, the bald bearded man asked the man next to him.

"Sobin, isn't he easy to mess with?" (bearded)

"The level is super abnormal! These guys are simply monsters at the level of fire dragons. It should be easy for them to reach the first floor." (Sobin)

"The most difficult thing is that they have no intention of restraining their thoughts. Thoughts are too destructive. Normal people will take into account the impact of themselves and the surrounding environment, and strictly control the output balance like stacking blocks, but these people are different..." (Sobin)

"They have no intention of restraining their thoughts. They will only vent their power recklessly. Even in a place like Meteor Street, they are unique. If they go to the first floor, they will probably destroy everything." (Sobin)

The bald bearded man looked up at the sky and said:

"We must prevent this from happening... Contact the young master." (Big Beard)

"Yes sir, but why? If we inform the young master at this stage, it might turn into an armed conflict. I don't want to see blood." (Sobin)

"Don't give me that." (Big Beard)

……

A group of people were walking on the road...Fenx put his hands in his pockets and said:

"The fox's tail is exposed..." (Fenx)

"Hmm...?" (Chrollo)

"When we talk about the upper class, their eyes look different. I can smell the scent of rare treasures." (Fenx)

The leader stopped, and everyone else stopped too.

"That's for later. The first thing to do is to deal with Hisoka. The information has been exchanged, and then we can act freely." (Chrollo)

"Now all we need to hold a party is a cake. The one placed in the center must be specially made. Once we get it, we will come back to gather together and sit around the dining table to enjoy the feast." (Kuroro)

The leader stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers...

"Bring me Hisoka's head..." (Chrollo)

……

The team leader was walking in the corridor when he heard a small dripping sound from behind.

"Captain, would you like to team up together?" (Xiao Di)

The team leader turned around and saw that it was not only Xiaodi, but also Peelerev.

Xiaodi waved to the team leader and ran to his side.

The captain turned his head.

"I will kill him with my own hands. If you agree to this condition, I will take you with me." (Chrollo)

Xiaodi raised her hand in agreement.

"Of course, neither I nor Peel's abilities are suitable for subduing Hisoka." (Little Drop)

"I plan to fight him if we meet him." (Chrollo)

"What about you guys?" (Chrollo)

Peel Lev also walked over, with his fists wrapped around his sides.

Xiaodi put her hands behind her back and responded to the leader.

"I plan to change my clothes first and then go find Hisoka." (Xiao Di)

"I have the same idea as Xiaodi, but I don't plan to dress up, I will transform." (Peeling Lev)

"The transformation of the battle waltz can be varied according to different conditions." (Peelerev)

"But... my brain is not very good and I don't know how to use it. I'm sorry to trouble you, Captain." (Peeling Lev)

The team leader nodded.

"Well, I need your help with something." (Chrollo)

Xiaodi raised her hand and made a request to the leader:

"Ah, I also have something I want to ask the captain. Can you tell me another fortune? Who knows what the fortune may reveal in reality..." (Xiao Di)

The team leader shook his head to refuse.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to...but...

"Unfortunately, I can't do that." (Chrollo)

"Eh?" (Xiao Di)

"I don't know when this ability disappeared from my book." (Chrollo)

Xiaodi covered her mouth and uttered a low sound...

"That is to say..." (small drop)

"That's what's going on." (Flake Lev)

The three of them were silent for a moment, and finally Xiaodi broke the awkward situation...

"I've always thought the captain's book is a bit like the Death Note..." (Xiao Di)

The two thought about it carefully...

Nion...

Knight...

Kubi...

Ace...

The elder of Meteor Street...

Fuck! What an accurate metaphor!!!

"..." (Chrollo)

The team leader was unable to refute and could only answer with silence.

Peeling Lev whispered in an "elderly" tone:

"Xiao Di, just think about it..." (Peeling Lev) [whispering]

The atmosphere...seems to be even more awkward...

Then, the three of them fell into silence again...

At this moment, a phone call broke the extremely awkward atmosphere like a savior...

The team leader picked up.

"Hey." (Chrollo)

"Captain, it's me." (Ace)

"Ace? What's going on?" (Chrollo)

Ace was on her way to the warehouse to get her knife back.

"Captain, be careful of those two guys, Illumi and Kurt. They are too close to Hisoka. I feel there is something wrong with them joining the group..." (Ace)

"They were here just now, so it's not convenient to alert them." (Ace)

The leader chuckled softly...

"Ace, you don't need to worry about this." (Chrollo)

"Is that so..." (Ace)

Ace hung up the phone worriedly, and his pace quickened...

……

[Spoof of the Ryūdō Group: "Precious Images of the Early Zoldyck Family"]

Mi Ji is playing video games...

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and the eldest sister in a bathrobe, bah, the eldest brother walked in.

"Hey, I was taking a shower, why did the power go out? Was it because you were playing video games?" (Ilmi)

"Oh, I'm using normal power." (Miki)

"The key is that you have been fighting all day!" (Ilmi)
