Phantom Tours

Chapter 15 Memory and Layout

At the end of January 1995, the last group of staff members sent by the Hunter Guild to investigate and collect evidence and try to find survivors at the hermitage of Kuruta withdrew.

The entire gathering place was completely destroyed, and all documents, ancient books or more valuable items disappeared completely, as if they had been thoroughly cleaned by a vacuum cleaner.

Things with only research and ornamental value, such as buildings, were burned, and even the corpses were rarely left behind, and even if they were left behind, some of the most important or most valuable human organs were missing.

When the dispatched staff members cleaned up the scene, many of them vomited into darkness.It's not that they who can become hunters have never seen killing, but they have never seen such a large-scale, planned, and inhuman massacre. Most of the corpses left behind are underage children.

Hundreds of lives have completely disappeared from this world, without a trace, just because of their fiery red eyes, which are regarded as one of the seven beauties.

The Phantom Troupe, everyone present firmly remembered this name, and it will never be forgotten.

Not long after they left, a small figure appeared at the ruins of the gathering place that had turned into scorched earth.He stared at the direction where the group of people left for a long time, motionless, as if he was about to stand like this for a long time.

Until a hoarse voice called from behind: "Kurapika, Kurapika, are you alright?"

He just turned his head, and his bright red eyes slowly returned to light blue, like a clear sky: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry so much, brother Shenchen."

"It's not safe here, Kurapika, go back first, the wood is still waiting for us!"

"Okay," the overly kind child was even worried about others, "Why did you leave brother Mu Mu alone again? Compared with the two of us, he needs someone to take care of him."

"But he's an adult, you're still a child, and..."

The voices of the two gradually faded away until they disappeared and were never seen again.

half year later.

"Brother Wood, Brother Shen Chen, can you really not teach me that kind of skill? I am not afraid of pain or suffering." The little boy who was originally much shorter than Shen Chen is now a little taller than him, and he is not afraid of suffering. He looked more and more calm, but there was a hint of gloom in his expression.

With her hair tied back, Shen Shen, who showed a delicate face, smiled wryly: "It's not that we don't teach you, but we don't know how this ability came about. We just groped and used it ourselves, but we definitely can't guide others."

Speaking of this, he seemed a little puzzled: "If you really want to learn, why didn't you meet with the Hunter's Guild at that time? Speaking of this kind of ability, the Hunter's Guild has the most comprehensive knowledge, and it is also the most useful for teaching people. experience."

Kurapika pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time. He didn't speak until Wood and Shen Shen showed worried expressions, "I can't trust them."

"According to what you said, the Hunter's Guild is the world's largest superpower organization, responsible for overseeing the stability of the entire world. What they protect is not only the precious animals and plants, the development of relics, but also our endangered races."

"Then, our family's hermitage is so secret, how did the Phantom Troupe know about it? I heard that someone sold the news of the gathering place on the Internet. It's such a big deal, how come they don't know anything about it? As Kurapika said, his eyes changed color again, "But what happened? There was no prior warning and no rescue in time. When my people were slaughtered, they didn't show up at all. They didn't come out until the enemies were all gone. Clean up the mess. Find survivors? It is impossible for anyone to be rescued according to their approach!"

He gasped for a while before he calmed down gradually, and his lowered head was facing a pair of eyes that implied worry.Yes, there is only one pair of eyes. Brother Wood's eyes and voice are said to have a problem because of the power he cultivated, so he can neither see nor speak, and his eyes are still wrapped in thick bandages.

They came here because they heard that there was a kind of herbal medicine produced in this forest, which might help restore eyesight.When they first came, they had conflicts with the guards of the clan, but after clarifying that it was a misunderstanding, they understood that they didn't take half a step into the gathering place, but only set up a residence on a nearby hill.

At the beginning, the elders in the clan were worried that they would find out that this was the hidden place of the Kuruta clan, or that it was simply spies who came after them, but more than two years of living in peace dispelled everyone's doubts.

Those two people have very gentle personalities, and they are willing to help whether it is a temptation or a sincere request for help.The Kuruta tribe, who let down their guard, gradually accepted the existence of the two, and even cared about the inconvenience of their going into and out of the forest, and often helped them bring something back.

And Kurapika, who is at the most curious age in his life, is a frequent visitor to this mountain, and because of this, he discovered that his two older brothers possessed strange powers.

Brother Shen Chen, who was about the same size as him, was not good at skills, but all the attacks were ineffective against him, no, it seemed as if they bounced off, and the attacker himself would be injured instead.And brother Mu Mu is even more interesting. Although he can't speak, he can play a moving melody with a small piccolo. When he plays, even the beasts will stop attacking and act according to his wishes.

He went back to learn these things from the patriarch, and the patriarch stroked his head: "It seems that they really have no malice towards us, and they don't even hide such secret things from you. Kurapika, remember, this matter You can’t tell others anymore, otherwise it will bring danger to the brothers, understand?”

Although he didn't quite understand it, but hearing that it would bring danger to his brothers if he said it, was enough for Kurapika to agree.

The two elder brothers, who know a lot of outside knowledge and have many strange abilities, are naturally more attractive to Kurapika than the gathering place he has been familiar with since he was a child. After agreeing, I stayed here for a few nights with my brothers.

Everything was so happy until that night came...

The two elder brothers finally agreed to his request and took him to find the wild monsters living deep in the forest. They were monsters, not the wild beasts that can be seen everywhere. Kurapika has never seen such a big one before!

In addition to traveling during the day, you can also try to dig traps to catch wild animals, go down the river to catch fish, pick wild fruits, sleep in the wild at night, light bonfires and tell stories. All these are life that Kurapika has never experienced.Excited, he almost wanted to go on like this all night, but in the end he couldn't resist the overwhelming drowsiness and fell into a sweet dreamland.

But when I woke up, I realized it was just a nightmare.

He was jolted awake in his sleep. Brother Shen, who was not much taller than him, carried him on his back and walked through the dense forest with one foot high and the other low.The speed was fast, but he was a little embarrassed, and there was a pungent bloody smell from his clothes.

brother hurt?Was it a monster that attacked them?

"Brother, brother Shenchen, is it a monster? I'm sorry, it's all because I'm too capricious..." Little Coola began to blame herself before she could figure out the truth of the matter.

"Shhh—" the deep voice was very low, Kurapika had never heard his voice so serious and even with a hint of fear.

The clever Ku La immediately sensed that the current situation of the two of them might be a bit dire, he slightly twisted his body: "Brother, put me down, myself..."

"To shut up!"

After that, neither of the two spoke, and ran all the way back to the hut they built on a hill away from the Kuruta gathering place.

Then, Kurapika understood.

What is destruction—

What is despair—

What is sorrow—

That night, he lost his friends, relatives, and everything, except hatred and sadness.

He swore with his blood-colored pupils that he would avenge his relatives, even if he fell into hell with the murderer.

And the object of revenge is the Phantom Troupe known as the spider.

……

…………

"... Kurapika!"

A loud shout woke him up, and at the same time, he felt that a hand was holding his shoulder and shaking slightly.

It made them worry again, Kurapika smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, I'm fine, I just can't help it when I think about it..."

"You can't help it, you have to bear it," Shen Chen's slightly hoarse voice interrupted him, "You are completely incapable of revenge now, no, don't mention revenge, the most important thing for you now is to prevent people from discovering your Kuruta tribe. The identity of an orphan, otherwise..."

Otherwise, those dead clansmen would be his end, he understood, of course he understood.If it wasn't for these two people in front of him, I'm afraid there must be him in the pile of bones buried underground now.

He held their hands tightly: "Thank you, thank you, brother."

Thank you for saving me, thank you for helping me, and thank you for being with me until now.

"Then what are your plans next? The two of us may go to other places to find out if there is a cure for our eyes, but we are gone, what do you do?"

Kurapika was a little dazed. Of course he couldn't force others to stay with him, and he couldn't ask others to take him as a burden. Once his identity was exposed, he wouldn't be the only one who would be in danger. He couldn't be so selfish.

"I...I don't know."

"Then let's introduce you to a place, Kurapika."

"Is this the place?" Kurapika looked up at the majestic building, suddenly feeling a little parched, "Well, is 'Earth Traveling Alliance Group Co., Ltd.' the name of the building? It's a bit strange, but Very imposing!"

Shen Shen, who had always looked calm and firm, drifted away for a moment: "Ah, yes, it's really imposing!"

He agreed with his mouth, but he started to rant madly in his heart: Damn, who came up with this stupid name?Could it be that the team leader failed again?

Shen Shen and Mu Mu entrusted Kurapika to the general manager of this company, a shrewd and capable woman—22-year-old Ms. Xiao Anshu.

They told Kurapika that they had invested their small savings as friends when Ms. Shaw's career was just starting out.Now even if the company grows bigger, their little capital is not worth mentioning, but Ms. Xiao, who has been thinking about the old love, still admits their status as a shareholder.

Therefore, out of their trust in Ms. Xiao's character, they rest assured to keep Kurapika here. After all, the place they are going to is more dangerous and they cannot take him with them.

On the contrary, they just briefly introduced Ku La's life experience, saying that his family had suffered misfortune, and now he was left alone, lonely, and asked Ms. Xiao to take in the child for the sake of a friend.

Already moved by Ku La's tragic life experience, she shed tears of sympathy. Afterwards, Xiao Anshu, who is very motherly, agreed and recognized Ku La as her younger brother.

Both parties were very happy. When Shen Shen said goodbye to Mu Mu and Kurapika, the emotional little Kura almost turned red, and stood there for a long time, watching the two gradually go away.

When he felt that the scorching sight behind him was no longer gone, Shen Shen's shoulders finally collapsed, and he dialed Roy Nuo's phone: "Leader, it's done."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

"However, Captain, don't let us do this kind of thing in the future. It's really a sin to deceive a pure child!"

While talking, he glanced at Mu Mu. Although the guy sealed his vision and voice, he also showed a worried expression.

If it wasn't for the fact that the location of this mission is too remote to make life inconvenient, and the time span is too long, plus the fact that more than half of the people in the tour group have been wiped out of the level of harmless appearance, how could the two of them won't take over.

A chuckle came from the other end of the phone: "But this is the best result, for everyone, isn't it?"

"That's true." Even Shen Chen had to admit that although this plan was a little crazy and unfair to Little Coola, the result was indeed...

And he sincerely admires the leader who can formulate this plan and convince Kuroro to accept it.

"Then the next step is to wait for the hunter exam four years later."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Yinuo rubbed the center of his brows. The plan this time not only took a very long time, but also involved a lot, and he owed a lot of favors in the middle.

But this time he could get Kuroro's cooperation. He really didn't expect it. He thought that he would at most agree to use the gangster's knife to kill someone or something. He didn't expect that he was bold and adventurous, or Even as a thief who kills without blinking an eye, is there still a humane existence?

Luo Yinuo smiled lowly, relaxed and fell on the bed.I'm so tired, I can finally have a good rest.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Captain, you..." Feitan, who was following Kurolo, rarely hesitated to speak. Although he is a transformation department, he has always disdain to hide his emotions, and even speaks out when he has something to say. temperament.

And another member of the transformation department next to him also looked over. Although her intuition told her that the leader's choice was right, she also didn't expect that her leader would really do this. Such things as giving in rarely happen in this place. Qualified bandit leader.

"I also want to see where things will go in the end?" Kuroro looked up at the sky, thinking far away, "Is it an ally who stands by my side and thinks of me wholeheartedly?"

He raised his left hand, manifesting the reading book whose ability was very similar to his, his eyes gradually became darker: "Unfortunately, only ten years..."

The author has something to say: I have made some revisions and changed the somewhat abrupt ending, which has caused inconvenience to everyone reading, I am sorry.
