Killer of this generation

Finette stood in front of the study door, raised her hand and entered a string of passwords coherently, and the metal-colored glass door slid open silently.With a meow, Mameo scuttled past her feet first.

Illumi sat behind a huge desk, but he didn't pay any attention to Mameo's rampage. He just stared blankly at the screen of the laptop in front of him with his dark but lifeless cat eyes.

Finette walked to the desk.She paused for a second, then covered the laptop screen without hesitation.I thought that Illumi would have a fit, but Illumi still sat silently without any reaction, maintaining the posture of looking straight ahead.

Finette hesitantly stretched out her hand and waved it lightly in front of his eyes a few times.

"Asleep? You can sleep with your eyes open." Finette whispered, "Weird."

She bent down halfway to the table, her amber pupils met the dark, deep but dull cat pupils, Finette blinked, stretched out her fingertips and slowly traced along the outline of Illumi through the air, I painted the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, and then the lips, as if time went back to the moment when I first fell in love with him.

While in a trance, Mameo suddenly jumped onto the table with a meow, Finette was startled and almost poked Illumi.She turned her head, pursed her lips and frowned slightly annoyed to give Mameo a repelling expression.

"You even know the access code to my study." Yilumi's faint tone came from his ears, as if he had just woken up with a lazy taste.

Hearing this, Finette raised her eyebrows, pushed away the laptop and sat down on the desk.

"The butler Wutong told me."

Illumi gave an ambiguous oh, he picked up the Rubik's cube on the table and leaned back on the chair, spinning the Rubik's cube once and for all in his hand.

"Hey, Illumi, I didn't expect that Rhett, who feels so gentle and kind, would be the R of the Rabbit Ears Organization. I still don't quite understand. It's good to stay in the enemy's Hakka family, why does he bother to seek refuge? Where are the rabbit ears?"

"Idiot woman, where do you see gentleness and kindness?" Illumi didn't look up, and turned the Rubik's Cube intently, "Also, how do you know that it must be good to stay in the Hakka of the enemy?"

Choked by Illumi's rhetorical question and didn't know how to refute, Finette shrugged, picked up Mameo and put it in her arms, and began to gently stroke its fur.

"It is said that in the first winter after I was born, there was a heavy snowfall in the whole of Bartokia, so much that my grandfather and father didn't go on missions but read books by the fireplace. In the early morning of that day, Jie Bu found a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes outside the gate of trials. His face was already blue and purple from the cold, and even

I have no strength to cry. "

"You know, our family's business is very famous. The average person would not climb the mountainside and drop the baby at our door."

Finette nodded in agreement.

"So," Illumi continued, "Mother was very angry. She thought that father must have cheated on her when she was pregnant with me."

"Could it be that time when Kiqiu's mother practiced her high notes?" Finette tried to imagine the scene at that time in her mind, and couldn't help getting goosebumps all over her body.

Illumi raised his head and gave Finette a noncommittal look.

"What then?"

"Listening to people's memories, it was not until a long time ago that they finally figured out who the real biological father of this child was."

"This child is Rhett?" Finette's eyes widened.

Yilumi nodded, "It's the child left by Wutong and a prostitute after a night of flirting. The prostitute actually gave birth to the child and sent it over."

Finette laughed, "Haha, Uncle Wutong must have been so frightened that his face turned blue."

"It turned green with anger." Illumi closed his eyes as if nothing had happened and said calmly, "I heard that Wutong rushed down the mountain at that time and killed that prostitute."

"Eh!? Really!? Uncle Wutong is too cold-blooded and ruthless!" Finette immediately exclaimed.

"It's that woman who gave birth to a child without authorization and caused trouble for others."

"Huh? Illumi's tone sounds like that poor woman deserved it herself."

"Isn't it?" Illumi stared directly at Finette with big black and lifeless cat eyes.

Finette was taken aback for a moment, then waved her hand.

"Well, this kind of thing is not clear. One is his own mother who abandoned him, and the other is his own father who killed his mother because he gave birth to him in anger. Fortunately, Rhett was still young at that time and didn't know anything. .”

The clicking sound of the Rubik's cube spinning clearly echoed in the study, and Mameo stretched out his forelegs and yawned.

"I know, how could he not know." Illumi muttered casually.

"But no matter what, in the end Uncle Wutong let Rhett stay." Finette jumped off the table and made a face at Illumi with one hand on her hip.

"I still think Reid shouldn't stay in Dadi Ke. Mi Ji also said that that guy is too sensitive and delicate, and he can't adapt to the life of Dadi Hakka, even as a miscellaneous logistics housekeeper.

Also very reluctant.See, he really couldn't bear to betray and beat up the enemy. "There was some anger and contempt in Ilumi's tone.

"Compared to some of you freaks with the surname of beating the enemy since childhood, Rhett may not be able to surpass without sleeping or eating and working harder. Suddenly, I feel that Rhett is actually quite pitiful." Finette lowered her head with a regretful expression on her face. , "But, I don't understand, so you don't have to give up on yourself to collude with rabbit ears to betray and beat up the enemy, right?"

"That guy is very concerned about Wutong's eyes." With a click, the last side of the Rubik's Cube was completed, and Illumi began to throw it upwards, "It's just that Wutong is a dedicated housekeeper. His energy and care were put into us."

Suddenly flashed in Finette's mind the appearance of Rhett when he trembled from the ruins and struggled to stand up and laughed wildly at the butler of Indus.

"It's not hard to understand why he would choose rabbit ears, and find another way to be valued." Illumi shrugged.

"Hmm..." Finette leaned on her chin, "Is that so?"

"You don't think so?"

"Hmm, I don't know, I'm an orphan who struggled on Meteor Street. Since I was a child, I just struggled for bread or water in order to survive, so I don't know what you are talking about, um, how should I say it?" , this feeling of yearning to be cared for and recognized by someone of your own.”

"Where's my grandma?"

Finette shook her head, "In Meteor Street, being able to survive on your own is probably the greatest recognition of yourself."

"As long as you live, it's fine, then you are still living very comfortably." Ilumi concluded lightly, and the atmosphere became a little dignified for no reason.

"Yes, yes, unlike me, Young Master Yilumi cares about the entire Dadike family. Apart from keeping himself alive, he must also always consider mission performance, discounts, sideline business development, and live well. It’s very fulfilling.” Finette gave him a sideways glance on purpose.

"Idiot woman with no education," Illumi said convincingly, "When beating the enemy Hakka, the elders have very high requirements. As the eldest son, you have to work harder, otherwise how will you inherit the position of the head of the family in the future? Good role model?"

"Inherit... the position of Patriarch?" Finette repeated hesitantly.

"Under normal circumstances, it is inherited by the eldest son."

Finette looked at Illumi with a natural expression on her face and froze for a while, not knowing how to answer the conversation.That's right, at this age, Illumi had always been considered the number one candidate to succeed the Patriarch. At that time, the current Patriarch Ba hadn't clearly announced that Qi Ya would be the next patriarch to beat the enemy Hakka.

r>Thinking about it this way, after receiving the news that Qiya was confirmed as the next Patriarch, it seems that Illumi stayed in Meteor Street for a long time afterwards, and it was also at that time that she saw this day arrived for the first time. In the evening, there are [-] people with deadpan expressions.

Sure enough, he still wants to be the head of the family in his heart, right?

"What's the matter?" Illumi asked seeing Finette suddenly silent.

"Oh, it's okay." Finette immediately came back to her senses, "Then why don't you quickly return to the original state, how can you be the head of the family if you have always been like this?"

"I know," Ilumi said, "so I have always cooperated with the doctor's treatment, although those so-called treatments are like experiments on white mice."

It seems that before Ilumi returns to normal, it is better to keep the announcement of Qiya as the next Patriarch a secret, Finette thought so, in fact, Ilumi really likes and cares about her younger brothers.

"Hey, Illumi, there is only one person left in the group of six with rabbit ears," Finette took out a photo, "Irs, Mi Chi found him, do you want to go together?"

"Of course." Illumi jumped off the boss chair.

The next day, Illumi and Finette set off to a suburban area.They sat in front of a roadside yogurt shop, with huge parasols propped over their heads to shield them from the scorching summer sun.Diagonally across the narrow road, there is an old-fashioned small concrete building that has been washed by rain and has turned yellow and even has stains on the wall. The signboard of a morning newspaper.

Illumi scooped up the milky white yogurt by the spoonful, this was already the third jar since they sat down. "Don't keep looking over the building, it's too conspicuous." After he finished speaking vaguely, he scooped up another spoonful of yogurt and stuffed it into his mouth.

"I still wonder if Miji made a mistake." Finette took off her exaggerated sunglasses and whispered in front of Illumi across the table, "How about a death row prisoner who finally escaped from the cheap well tower?" It is unlikely that he would hide in a newspaper office that needs to deal with people frequently."

"Like this little-known newspaper office in the urban-rural fringe, it can avoid the Hunter Association's eyeliner and obtain a lot of intelligence information, which should be much smarter than hiding in the deep mountains and old forests." After finishing speaking, Yi Lumi's dark cat pupils looked straight at the yogurt that had only moved a few mouthfuls in front of Finette, and blinked, "Do you want Finette?"

"Huh?" The topic jumped too fast, following his line of sight, Finette looked down at the yogurt in front of her before she suddenly understood, she waved her hand helplessly, "Okay, take it!"

"I always have

It's a bad feeling, Illumi, do you think that this time, you will be given the pre-emption by that mysterious person like several times before? Finette turned her head to look at the dark doorway again, clasping the table with her right hand anxiously.

"What mysterious person?" Illumi licked his lips and raised his head.

"Didn't I tell you?" Finette leaned in front of him again in surprise, the distance between the two faces was less than 20 centimeters, Illumi looked back at Finette calmly, "The four times before , every time a mysterious person drove ahead of us and silenced the target object. Even the same situation happened when Hisoka was asked to take a look instead.”

"Oh, that Ten." Thinking back, Illumi put down the yogurt pot that had been scooped up, "Finette meant that someone inside the rabbit ears killed them in advance to prevent us from catching the captives and asking what they said." mouth?"

"It's hard to say, maybe it is." Finette frowned and thought.

"What a waste." At this time, Illumi's voice came with a touch of dissatisfaction, and the next moment, Finette felt a cool touch on the corner of her lips.

Illumi gently wiped off the little bit of yogurt on the corners of her lips, then narrowed her cat pupils slightly, retracted her fingertips and put them in her mouth to suck.

Finette, who came back to her senses, suddenly felt her cheeks burning hot, "You, you..." She couldn't speak for a long time.What, it's so messed up, and I was..."molested" by a ten-year-old child?Even if it was Illumi's unintentional move, the sudden and inexplicable atmosphere is really absurd and weird.

"Well... I can't find anything after observing for so long," Finette hurriedly turned her head awkwardly, and stammered, "I think we should act..."

"okay."

After being silent for a few seconds, Illumi took one last look at Finette before calmly responding.

"Wait a moment."

Just when Illumi and Finette were about to walk towards the dilapidated low concrete building, a man wearing a peaked cap and leisurely putting his hands in his trouser pockets came out of the building.

Finette and Illumi quickly turned their backs.

"Ability-reader?" Finette asked in a low voice.

Illumi nodded silently.

After the man wearing a peaked cap covering most of his face turned into a small alley, Illumi and Finette immediately rushed into the low building.

The damp musty smell and the sour smell of garbage permeated the entire poorly lit stairwell, and the mottled and dirty walls were covered with various advertising posters, which were stacked and stacked indiscriminately.

Sticking, some have been torn off in half and left the other half incomplete, and some have been directly overlaid on other advertising papers, and it is impossible to tell which is which.The handrails of the stairs are so rusted that if you touch them lightly, you can touch the rust all over the floor.The more you go up, the narrower and more inclined the steps become, it is simply a dangerous building that may collapse in the next second.

Finette gasped for breath, her temples twitched violently, and a strong smell of ink made her frown involuntarily.The cumbersome rumble of the printing press also reached my ears, but it sounded like a strange blockage.

Finette and Ilumi looked at each other, paused for three seconds, and then rushed in together.

In a small dilapidated room, a yellow ceiling fan was spinning feebly above the head, and stacks of newspapers were stacked high and low on the floor, blocking their sight in a messy and uneven manner.There is a sticky feeling on the soles of the feet, which is due to the accumulation of ink over the years.

Not a trace of popularity.

Finette glanced at the printing machine that was still working tirelessly, "The paper is jammed." She said to Ilumi who was beside her.Illumi followed to the printing press.

"Finette." He stopped Finette who was about to walk over to check the writing desk.

"Dead?!" Finette gasped in shock.

A man fell down beside the printing press. His body was covered with countless thin and long cuts. A small amount of blood seeped out and mixed into the dark and sticky ink.

Irs!

"It's that person just now?!" Finette clenched her fists, "Damn it! It's just a little bit late."

"I'm afraid it's him." Illumi immediately jumped to the back window and looked at the alleyway behind the building, "Finette, he hasn't gone far, let's follow."

"it is good!"

Finette and Illumi jumped out the rear window.

The man in the peaked cap still lowered his head and looked unsuspecting, as if he didn't realize that he was being followed.He was walking towards a small sewage treatment plant not far away.

He stood in front of the iron gate of the sewage treatment plant, with a large rusty lock tied to the gate with a thumb-thick iron chain, which looked as if it had been abandoned for a long time.He pressed the peaked cap on his head, jumped up, and flipped inside.

"He's in." Finette hid behind a scrapped forklift and gestured to Illumi.

Since they have already followed here, how could they not continue to follow, after Illumi winked at Finette, the two of them also turned in one after the other.

Walk in

The feet of Finette and Ilumi suddenly hung in the air, and the two of them were instantly transferred to the top of the sewage pool behind them, and they fell into the dirty and muddy sewage without any defense.
