38 Letterhead x Parker x Rage
A bright flash of lightning flashed outside the hotel, and the blue-white light illuminated one side of the people. Pitch-black shadows were cast on the ground, reflecting the people's disbelief and stiff body movements. The light disappeared in an instant and returned to darkness.
"Where's the captain?"
Xiaodi's voice woke everyone up at once. Pike looked up at the place where the captain had been before, but there was no sign of Kuroro there. On the other side, Nobunaga, who was holding Gon, almost popped his eyes out. He stared straight at the open space, but did not find any familiar figure.
At this moment, a knife with a letter tied to it flew from the door into the pillar beside it. Nobunaga cursed and turned his head to look. There seemed to be a cold blue light at the door, but there was no trace of human figure.
He handed Xiaojie to Xiaodi and pulled out the knife from the wall. The knife rubbed against the hard pillar and made an unpleasant sound, but for Nobunaga, this noise did not make him feel bad at all.
Nobunaga looked at the knife in his hand. In the dim environment, he could clearly see his reflection on the knife. He took off the letter and unfolded the folded paper. The content inside made him widen his eyes slightly.
"Pike, this is for you."
Hua felt Pike leave her back and seemed to start reading the letter. She stood up slightly but was frightened by the hand falling on her shoulder and shuddered, closing her eyes tightly.
"Behave yourself." Nobunaga put his hand on Hana's shoulder, staring straight at Gon and Killua, "Otherwise I can't guarantee your life."
Hua didn't dare to move, she didn't even dare to open her mouth. At this moment, she really wanted a shield. Shouldn't a nanny have a shield?
No one could answer her questions, just like no one came to save her now.
Killua glanced at Hana, whose face showed pain and confusion. He was about to say something when Machi exerted force on him. The force that was tightening around his waist made him unable to utter a word for a while.
Xiaojie is now hanging upside down and his brain is in a state of congestion, so he is unable to think. Among the three people, only Hua can think and struggle.
Killua looked at Hana unwillingly. She was struggling helplessly again. Seeing this scene, Killua felt even more angry and unwilling.
It was at this time that Hua released two gusts of wind in succession, which knocked down Xiaodi and Kubi, allowing Xiaojie to escape quickly. He jumped up and tried to grab Maggie's arm, but unfortunately his strength was not enough and he couldn't shake Maggie at all.
Hua silently cast the spell of Solid Stone and smashed it hard at Machi's head. Machi noticed the flying stone. Facing such an attack, she did not dare to be careless and could only let go to resist. Killua was thus freed from control. He immediately went to meet Kubi who stood up. This short guy with long hair did have good fighting ability, but not as good as other spiders.
Killua first dodged Kubiki's punch, then quickly jumped back to avoid Xiaodi's attack. Xiaojie took the opportunity to punch Xiaodi from behind. Xiaodi leaned forward under the force, and then quickly turned around to counterattack Xiaojie.
Maggie also joined the battle at this time, and Pike also began to join the chaotic scene on the side. Only Nobunaga was still holding the flower steadily.
Hana didn't dare to use the sacred skill with strong light effects, and could only use the two skills of Stone and Gale to help, trying to create a gap so that Gon and Killua could have a chance to leave.
But they didn't seem to plan to leave as just two people, but wanted to go all three of them. Hua realized this, and her eyes slowly filled with tears. Hua hated her own powerlessness, but the current situation was not the time for her to be sad. She took advantage of the opportunity and threw a rock at Kubi who was trying to clamp Xiaojie.
"Ugh--" Nobunaga pressed the flower that Jianshi had just released by grabbing her neck and pressing it down. The force made her fall to the ground, feeling the air flow in her throat becoming less and less.
"Stop, your helper has fallen." Nobunaga pressed down on Hua's neck tightly. Hua could not make any other sound except the sound that came from her throat at the beginning.
But as her breath became weaker and weaker, her face gradually revealed a deathly grayish color.
Killua was the first to withdraw after seeing this scene. He raised his hands to signal that he would stop attacking, but was tied up by Machi's mental thread again. Gon hesitated for a moment, closed his eyes and raised his hands.
He watched Nobunaga stand up and pick up the flower. Hua was choked by the airflow that rushed into her respiratory tract and started coughing. Guilt gradually appeared on Xiaojie's face.
Hua felt stars in her eyes and her vision was unable to focus at all. This was a near-death experience that she had never experienced before.
The positions of the few people returned to their previous state, and Hua's vision gradually recovered. She glanced at Gon and Killua. Unlike her impression of them being clean and unharmed, they were now in a very miserable state, with bruises on both of their faces.
Hana even noticed that Killua's fingers had an abnormal curvature, but it was hard to see because of Gon's thick clothes, and it seemed that only the knuckles of the fingers were a little red and swollen.
"What? You want to treat them?" Nobunaga's hand covered her head. Unlike the feeling with Kuroro, Hana could clearly feel the other's fingers applying a little force, pressing on her head and causing pain.
"Don't do anything, or I don't know what I'll do."
Nobunaga's voice came from above her head. Hana couldn't see anything, but she seemed to vaguely feel the other person's malicious mouth slowly opening above her.
She closed her eyes and didn't dare to look any further, for she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and do something.
Parker took out the note again, and the content on the note was actually very simple.
Don't tell them about your memories, or I'll kill him.
Pike looked at the note and was caught in a dilemma. Just like what was written in the prophetic poem, her choice was glory and betrayal.
But which one was the betrayal? Parker felt her heart twitching, and she felt like the god of death was really walking around her.
She thought about it for a long time, wondering if it was the injuries on her body that affected her. She couldn't really do what Chrollo had said, that is, to give up his choice to save more spiders.
Parker groaned painfully in his heart, but gradually he became certain of his thoughts.
Spiders, you can't lose Chrollo's brain just yet.
"Parker." Maggie tightened her abdominal muscles to slow down the flow of blood from her abdomen, but before she could ask anything, her heart interrupted her.
"She can't speak now." Nobunaga took the paper from Pike and showed it to the other spiders. "If she says anything, the captain's life may be in danger."
This answer made the spiders fall silent. What happened this time shouldn't have happened to spiders. The humiliation brought to them by the Chain Hands was definitely not small.
"The only bargaining chips now are these two brats." Nobunaga looked at the two boys held in Machi's hands, "and the bargaining chip that controls them is this brat."
"Use them to exchange for the captain's return."
After this short conversation, they fell into a long silence until the power in the hotel finally came back on. The lights suddenly came on and shone on everyone. Unlike the relaxed □□ people, the atmosphere in their area was still very depressing.
"Why are you so embarrassed?"
Three people walked in from the hotel entrance. Hua Qingqing raised her eyes and took a look. She saw a familiar short, muscular man with no eyebrows and a baby face.
She tilted her head slightly. There was really no way to escape.
"There was a power outage just now." Nobunaga placed his hand on Hana's shoulder and looked at his companions calmly, "The captain has been captured."
"Then?" the short man standing opposite Nobunaga asked lazily.
"That chain is the same one that was used to capture Wo Jin!" Nobunaga's tone was a little stiff. "The captain will definitely not be able to break free."
"Then?" the short man repeated, looking at Nobunaga with a hint of sarcasm.
Hana was listening to their bickering in front of Nobunaga, and for a moment she felt that they were just ordinary people, with all kinds of emotional fluctuations and relatives and friends.
But, aren't there any innocent people among those they killed?
Hua advised herself in her heart. She knew that she had a bad habit of fantasizing about the best of others. The people she faced this time were different. They were guys who killed without blinking an eye. Just think about how many people died because of their disturbance.
Thinking of this, Hua turned her head slightly and glanced at Xiaojie. Xiaojie noticed it and even smiled at her comfortingly.
Hua sighed inwardly, now all she could do was wait for things to develop to the point where they were replaced.
The rain outside had not stopped for a long time. Leorio was driving in the car feeling a little uncomfortable. Melody next to him lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
"What are you looking at?" Kurapika felt the gaze coming from the side of him, and he questioned the infamous spider leader with his remaining sanity.
"I didn't expect that the Chain Hand was actually a woman?" Kuroro sighed a little. His words seemed to be mocking, but his expression was calm, as if he was narrating a speech that made him sigh.
Kurapika pulled off his wig and stared at Kuroro.
"You thought you saw a woman, but I lied to you."
"Don't provoke me. I can't remain calm and indifferent to your words right now."
His gaze was so bright and filled with such pure fury.
This is really interesting. Kuroro thought, but if he continued to be irritated by himself, then it was very likely that he would no longer be able to threaten the other members of the brigade through himself.
The Chain Hand will kill the leader of the Phantom Troupe.
They will also lose their threatening leverage.
But this alone is not enough. What is his weakness?
"Kurapika!" Leorio noticed that Kurapika's emotions were beginning to boil over. He didn't want to analyze his emotions with Kurapika in front of the enemy, so he could only calm Kurapika down by calling his name.
"This incident did not appear in the prophecy."
Kuroro easily angered Kurapika with his words again.
