[Hunter] Light Gap

Alluka blinked slightly confused.

She had never been to this place, to be exact, she had never even seen this place.This place is very big, she raised her head, and it took a lot of effort to see the top of the building, but there was nothing around her except the building, it was completely and endlessly white, just like the snow that just fell Like, sharp and almost dazzling.

"Brother——" Alluka put her hands around her mouth on the radio, and shouted wildly to the surroundings. Soon her own echo came from a distance, and it was obvious that Killua was not here.

[Nanika? ] She tried to call Nanika again, but there was no movement at the other end of her consciousness.

Only... she is alone.

Alluka swallowed nervously, and the fingertips of both hands were tightened and loosened several times, at least to gather herself together.She looked up at the entrance of the building, and there seemed to be no other way but to go in and look for Killua.

Thinking this way, Aluka walked towards the wide door of the building.

This is school?Or the hospital?Aluka walked in the empty corridor, looking around, her boots tapping on the clean and shiny tiles, making a clicking sound.The first to fifth floors here are like classrooms for students. The desks and chairs are neatly arranged as if no one has ever touched them. The white light from the window spreads on the blackboard that still has chalk dust.And the fifth to tenth floors are like a martial arts gym. There is also a gymnasium full of various fitness equipment, each of which is more advanced than external brands and has been used for a long time.The ten floors above are dormitories, and only the dormitory has the smell of someone's life, such as unmade quilts and leftover garbage.As for the floors above, Alluka couldn't go up, and the door was locked, and Alluka couldn't open it even with all her strength.

The girl sat exhausted physically and mentally in the corridor without electric lights, and lowered her eyebrows in disappointment.She didn't know how long she had walked to get here, she just felt like her leg was about to break, as if she had never walked such a long way in her life, but she found nothing.

No, it can't be like this, you must go back to your brother's side, you can't stay here anymore.But tired, really tired...

It must be a lie to say that you are not afraid of anything, let alone in this lonely place like a ghost town.Brother, Nanika, where are you?Aluka buried her head in her knees, calling desperately in her heart.

"Da, da, da." When Alluka was about to cry, someone's footsteps came from the floor.

Alluka raised her head in surprise and joy, and looked forward, only to see an old woman looking at her in surprise.

"Mother-in-law, may I ask, do you know where my brother is?" Alluka even forgot to say Kirua's name. She stood up on those two legs that seemed to be no longer her own, and eagerly asked the first asked someone who appeared.

The old woman shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, little sister, I didn't see anyone here except you."

"That's right..." Without getting the answer she wanted, Alluka lowered her head and said to the old woman again, "My mother-in-law has worked hard after climbing such a high staircase."

"Mother-in-law, she's here to find someone." Sitting together on the aisle of the stairs, the old woman began to tell Alluka.

"Find someone?"

"Well, yes, what my mother-in-law is looking for is my daughter who goes to school here. Zoldik is a good company... willing to train my daughter to go to school, and also willing to help me, an old woman, find a hospital, but the management is too strict Ah, I haven't seen my daughter a few times for more than half a year, so I came here, but I don't know why, there is no one in the place I walked..." The old woman said, showing her vicissitudes of life. Lonely expression.

Alluka asked, "What is the name of the mother-in-law's daughter?"

"It's called Haruhi, do you know my little sister?"

"Haruhi...?" Alluka repeated the name with a dazed expression.

Kasuga...

spring... day...

"Little sister, do you really know each other?" Seeing that Alluka's expression was wrong, the old woman asked quickly.

The name was a trigger, and for Alluka, distant memories began to revive.This place, this environment, seems to have catalyzed Alluka to piece together the fragments of memories, and connect them with this ordinary-sounding name to form a complete piece, forming a picture of a certain day long ago.

——"Haruhi, give me the liver."

——"Then, give me the back bone."

—— "Hey, this one doesn't work either? Then, give me the brains."

——"Haruhi, give me the duodenum."

Ah... I remembered those words spoken by my own mouth.

"Little sister...?"

How did the housekeeper named Kasuga struggle to beg for mercy in the face of the "forced request" that was impossible to agree to?To be honest, Alluka didn't remember anything at all, she only remembered the man's constantly opening and closing his lips, the movement of backing away desperately, and the face that was so frightened that it was almost hideous, and it couldn't see its original face at all.And then she died, twisted into a rope before Alluka's bewildered expression like so many people before and after her.

"Is it you..." The old woman's voice darkened unknowingly. When Alluka noticed, her face and whole body were surrounded by a thick cloud of black air. Become something that cannot be called a person.

"Did you kill it..."

"Our enemy is you..."

The black shadows that suddenly appeared, overflowing from the room, between the cracks in the door, in the walls, and in the ceiling, the black figures that flashed out of thin air could barely take the shape of a human being, but Alluka couldn't see it. clear their faces.No one could recognize their facial features from the thick black air, or even if they could, most of them would not know Yalujia.Those were the people who were implicated and died in Huangquan after the "force" failed. Before Aluka developed the consciousness to escape, they surrounded her.

"is it you……"

"Is that you..."

Alluka knew what they were. She didn't know them at first, but she understood them the moment she saw them.

Neither killing nor letting go, they just kept asking questions over and over again, the black air like a black snake spitting out a message stretched out in front of Alluka's eyes, but it was retracted before it touched her, they died like a farce Even now, she is playing with Alluka like a ridiculous and unending farce.From Alluka's point of view, the things surrounding her shrank from size to size, as if absorbing all the light, and everything in the field of vision was dimmed, and the only light source was herself. It can also emit a faint and inextinguishable shimmer.

"Hey, I actually know." Aluka said in a messy and terrifying black air, her voice trembling slightly like clear water, and she didn't know if her voice could reach these people In his ears, "I know, all of you combined, will not be more terrifying than the existence of 'me'.

—I'm the scariest, right? "

The girl's frank words obviously hit the weak point of the dead. They became more irritable and agitated in the form of sight, but as if to confirm the facts that Alluka said, none of them could touch the dead. She, none of them had the guts to snap her neck, to whack her on the head, to make her suffer more than they did.However, no one could do it. The black gas trembled at a level that Alluka could detect, and some of the black gas was gradually dissipating.

She had left an indelible fear in their souls long ago, no matter how much they resented, they couldn't do it again.

"Here, it should be the place where the servants bought by Mom and Dad study together?" Alluka asked anxiously, but in her heart, the answer was already in the affirmative. "Sanye, Kasuga... There are many, many people who have lived here. If it wasn't for me, they would have left here one day."

In fact, as far as the Zoldik family's training plan is concerned, this is not necessarily the case, but at least Alluka sincerely hopes that they can leave this place one day.

"I'm sorry..." Following the girl's words, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes to between her jaws, drawing a clear line on her face.After she uttered these words, all the black air seemed to have stopped and stopped agitating, "You will never forgive me, but at least let me say these words."

No matter how much Aluka apologizes, it is impossible for the dead life to come back. This is the law that any time, space and world have to abide by.They can't come back, whether it's the people who died because of "forced", or the most important people of these people.

Here, whatever Aluka says is an excuse, of course she understands the weight of life, and so does Nanika, but so what?Don't let anyone make a wish to Nanika, don't let Nanika bear more karma, and those people will not be backlashed by their own desires. This is the best result that Kirua believes. Alluka began to think so too.

"I still have someone I want to see, even if there is no one in the world who wants to see me, I still want to meet." Alluka smiled and begged with tears in her eyes, but the corner of the girl's grinning mouth looked a little silly, "Please , let me go find them, okay?"

Alluka wanted to meet Killua, the one who had asked her if she would be sad if he was the only one in the world who would accept Alluka.Alluka wanted to meet Nanika, the one who had been with her all her life and supported her all the time.Alluka wanted to meet Angel, the one who had just become friends but was willing to take care of her and protect her.

"...Please, let me go find them, okay?"

"please……"

Alluka's voice became lower and lower, but on the other hand, as if she had been purified, the black air surrounding the deceased in front of her gradually dissipated. Alluka could see their outlines clearly, a group of men, women, young and old Speak a word and stare at her silently and directly.
