8 Daily X Clues X Questions
It's really hard not to feel irritable in the scorching summer. Hua, with a pale face, started to tinker with drinks in the kitchen.
Although several days had passed, she still remembered Aunt Mitt's expression when she went to the police station to pick up the three of them. She thought she was finished, or at least would be under endless house arrest. However, under the persuasion of the guests who often came to drink, Aunt Mitt did not really punish them in the end.
The ice cubes made a crackling sound in the cup. Hua poured the light blue drink into it and smacked her lips quietly.
It's quite strange to say, she finally saw a computer in this world. The computer was very good, but it had a big-butt display screen, which always made Hua worry about her eyes.
Totally retro.
Hua took a sip of cold drink and sighed. Since that day, there seemed to be no more poaching, but the disappeared tree was never found again.
It always makes people feel that there are many unsolved mysteries, but since nothing has happened, she doesn't want to bother herself.
Escaping is useless, but it can always make people relax.
After experiencing what happened during this period, Hua also let go of the memories of her previous life. Is it useful to think so much?
No, the more you make trouble, the worse things will get.
She was also very sure that the current development was completely different from the plot she had seen back then. So, remembering those things and being unable to let go of them was no different from being crazy.
not to mention
Hua took a deep breath and thought slowly.
She had never felt the anxiety and deep-seated collapse she had in her previous life, and her mind was relaxed.
Why hold on to things that are basically useless?
Just as Hua was immersed in her own literary and artistic thoughts, she was suddenly shrouded by a shadow.
"Drink less cold drinks."
Mitt's voice came from behind her, and Hana gave a nervous smile.
“This is my first cup.”
Hua gestured, her eyes couldn't help but darting around, feeling a little nervous.
Mitt didn't say anything to her, just patted her head and went into the kitchen.
Hua looked at Mitt busy in the kitchen and felt a little embarrassed. She slowly walked to Mitt's side.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Please help me wash the tomatoes."
The two of them started busying themselves in the kitchen. The sunlight in the kitchen was warm, and the ice cubes in the cup floated up and down in the drink with a slight collision sound. The mother-in-law saw this scene and smiled gently.
Gon and Killua came back from outside at this time. Today they finally got the network cable and could start investigating the information.
"Brother, I've drunk the drink on the table." Hua's voice interrupted Xiaojie who was reaching for the cup.
"Is there no one for me today?" Xiao Jie withdrew his hand and scratched his head in annoyance.
"The drink I made is in the refrigerator. The ice is in the fourth drawer at the bottom." Hua wiped her hands and walked out with two cups.
She handed the cup to Xiaojie, and then said seriously: "Mother-in-law can't drink it today, and you are not allowed to give it to her secretly."
Xiao Jie looked at the murderous intent faintly revealed in Hua's eyes and smiled a little embarrassedly.
"I'll watch over you, all the time..." Hua gestured with her hands, then went back into the kitchen to help.
When Gon and Killua started drinking their drinks, Hana walked out of the kitchen and went to her room. Gon continued drinking without any reaction, but Killua found it very strange.
"Is she done with her work?"
"Hua doesn't know how to cook. She was kicked out."
Killua let out a long "oh" and the two continued drinking their drinks.
This slow pace of life relaxed everyone's nerves. While eating, Mitt looked at the three children and suddenly felt that the blood-covered children she saw that night were like an illusion.
At that time, she really thought the children were seriously injured and their hearts seemed to have stopped beating.
Fortunately, no one was injured and everyone came back safely.
Hua felt the gaze and looked up from her rice bowl at Mitt in surprise. Xiaojie felt Hua's movement and also looked up.
At this moment, Mitt had a subtle smile on his face, which seemed to be a satisfied and happy smile, but also a kind of illusory smile.
The two had never seen Mitt with such an expression before, and both shuddered.
Killua looked at the two of them in confusion. He didn't understand why they had the same expression as when they saw Hisoka while eating.
"Killua, are you full?" Hua asked the question haltingly.
"Ah, I'm full." Killua didn't quite understand why Hana suddenly asked this.
"I heard from my brother that you found something. Can I take a look?" Hua gritted his teeth and his face turned pale.
"Then wait a moment..."
Killua stopped and looked at Gon who kept winking at him, then blinked in confusion.
"Let's go watch it now. If we finish early, we can take a nap." Xiao Jie stood up and said, "I'm full."
"Okay, then go play." Mitt sat up a little straighter and watched the three children walk upstairs.
When the three of them arrived at Xiaojie's room, Xiaojie and Hua breathed a sigh of relief.
"What on earth did you see?" Killua was a little confused as to why the two had such strange expressions.
"Don't ask. I don't want to recall it at all." Hua waved her hand. "That's something that would make me feel very bad if I saw it."
"Speaking of which, what did you find out?"
Hana asked, moving her face closer to the screen.
"We checked the follow-up of that group of poachers." Killua walked to Gon and began to skillfully retrieve the information he had found before.
"The first is the flow of people. I looked at it and it's nothing."
“But I checked the subsequent market reaction.”
“It is said that they are planning to bring some women here to poach.”
"They say there's a percussion enthusiast here."
“Men can’t come.”
Killua spoke expressionlessly about the information he had found, while Hana on the other side already felt like she was digging her toes into the ground.
"Besides, the way you handled it was stupid."
Killua didn't turn his head, but continued to operate the computer.
"If you only deal with this one area, there will be a constant stream of enemies. What you need to do is to attack those markets."
Hua was suddenly stunned. She really didn't expect this.
"Even if a fight really breaks out, you won't be able to win due to the disparity in numbers, so why don't you set a trap?" Killua's fingers tapped on the keyboard, and the clicking sound seemed to be hitting Hana's head.
"Refusing to cooperate, running away first."
“Tsk.”
"Okay, let's see."
Hua Ru took the mouse as if she had been pardoned. She felt like she couldn't lift her head just now, and she even felt that Killua had swallowed back a lot of words.
She quickly glanced through it, couldn't believe it at first, and finally looked at Xiaojie with a pale face.
"Is it because of me?" Her voice tightened. "It's because of the changes that happened to me and the tree, and the problems with the animals..."
"It's mainly an animal problem." Killua held down Gon, who was a little worried.
"The animals on the island right now are different from those in other areas."
"You should have seen the numerical comparison."
"The substance extracted from animals can easily regenerate severed limbs."
“It’s positively correlated with body proportions.”
"What they've discovered recently is that plants have a similar effect."
"So we will selectively take away trees of the right size, and if we can't take them away, we will just dispose of them."
Hua found it a little hard to accept, but she was actually a little proud, especially since she could vaguely feel that communicating with the forest spirits would help the animals and plants here live a good life.
As a result, the result of her actions is endless fighting?
"I'm not blaming you for your situation." Killua looked out the window lazily, "But it's true that these things have caused quite a bit of trouble."
"Then will it be okay if I leave Whale Island?" Hua began to feel anxious. "As expected, we still have to fight against those people."
“That would be better.”
Xiaojie held Hua's hand soothingly, and Hua's head drooped deeply.
"Actually, according to the information we found, someone has already intercepted it." Killua took the mouse and called up the second piece of information.
“We guessed it was gold.”
"It couldn't be him." Hua said without looking up, "The kind of guy who runs away because he feels he can't be a good father definitely didn't do it himself."
"It seems you know more about Gin." Killua's expression twitched subtly. "How strange, Gon knows nothing about it."
Hua twitched her hands nervously.
"That's the Hunter Association's secret."
"How do you know?"
The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant. Hana hesitated to answer Killua's questioning. She felt that she had said something wrong after she said it directly, but she couldn't take back what she had just said.
Finally, she spoke.
"The Yuan Ling told me."
"Those spirits were not created by me; they already existed in the forest."
Hua didn't dare to raise her head, for fear that her wrong expression would be seen.
"I didn't know much, but what I did know was terrible, so I didn't say it."
"No matter how strong he is, at least as a father, Jin is a failure."
Killua simply raised an eyebrow slightly at Hana's answer and glanced at Gon.
Xiaojie's expression was very serious. He looked at the flowers seriously, as if thinking about the truth of those words.
The flower closed its eyes, as if waiting for judgment.
"I've always wanted to see it."
His voice reached Hua's ears, and these words that Hua was once very familiar with appeared vividly in her ears.
"I've always wanted to see what the world would be like if Jin never came back."
"Hua, thank you for your protection."
"But I think Jin won't come back because there are more exciting things out there than Whale Island."
Xiaojie's voice was sincere, and he felt water drops falling from his hand that was holding the flower.
"I'm sorry. I really am."
Hua's voice was trembling. She was really sorry for bringing this danger to Xiaojie, and she also hated to lie to Xiaojie. It was not that she couldn't tell Xiaojie her origins. If it was just her and Xiaojie, she would definitely tell the truth as long as Xiaojie asked.
However, she didn't have the courage to say it in front of another person.
Killua watched the silly brother and sister pour out their hearts to each other, clicking the mouse with a bored finger and muttering quietly, "It makes me look like a bad person."
"I'm sorry." Hua quickly apologized, "I'm not..."
"Wow, don't look at me like that." Killua stepped back uncomfortably. "Anyway, what we can find out is that the situation here has changed from individual protection to protection by the Hunter Association."
"The next few poaching incidents might not be as severe."
“That’s about it.”
"Stop making that disgusting, pitiful expression!" Killua got a little mad, "You too, Gon!"
“Damn it!”
Looking at Killua who was a little crazy, Gon secretly made a "yeah" gesture to the flower and stuck out his tongue.
"It's just that I can't find any information about Jin at all."
Xiaojie wailed and fell to the ground.
They changed their sitting places. In their previous seats, Hana always felt like she was being questioned, while Killua always felt that the expressions of the brother and sister were very strange.
"Should I ask Aunt Mitt directly?" Hua recalled and remembered that the clue was with Aunt Mitt. "After all, Aunt Mitt must know Jin."
As soon as these words came out, Xiaojie sat up suddenly.
"I never expected this." The two boys hugged their heads in pain.
