Chapter 400: A special mission suddenly triggered "Both...
"Since it's good news, I won't ask any more questions." After Elena conveyed the news that the leader was fine to the guys who were waiting anxiously outside, she took the girl's hand and walked to the sofa not far away and sat down. She told her about some things that happened after she left and after the inheritance ceremony.
Including the Avengers who suddenly appeared and became the referee; the almost life-and-death duel between the Vongola family and the Simon family; D, the mastermind behind the scenes; the good-for-nothing duo who put aside their past grudges and reconciled to join forces to fight D; and...
"...Anyway, that's what happened," Elena said. "After I knew everything, D's ending was pretty much what I could have predicted."
He sabotaged the succession ceremony of the tenth generation of Vongola, plotted against the allied family Simon, and many other events...
Even if the unknown past is covered up and all this is defined as a power struggle within the Vongola family, or a test for the tenth generation family, as the instigator of everything, even D will not have a good ending.
Having said this, the blonde woman took out the carefully stored items and placed them in her palm. Her long golden hair fell as she moved, half covering her eyes that were as bright as spring. "But I didn't expect... that he would disappear before my eyes in such a way."
D, what were you thinking at the last moment...Have you really let it go?
"Elena..."
"Don't worry about me, Chiyo. While there are regrets, it's also a happy ending." Elena took a deep breath, suppressing all the complicated thoughts in her mind. She smiled faintly. "A misunderstanding that lasted for centuries has been resolved. This is a happy and joyful thing for everyone."
"But...eh?" The player followed the pair of sad green eyes and saw a matching golden pocket watch.
The player looked at the pocket watch in Elena's hand, then at the same pocket watch around her neck, and slowly asked a question: "......?"
Wait, something's wrong?
"This is D's relic." Seeing the player seemed a little confused, Elena pondered the pocket watch with a touch of sentimentality and said, "This golden pocket watch, as a testimony of our friendship... He has been carrying it with him all these years."
"Then he truly loves the Vongola..." the player said hesitantly, "But this can't really be considered a relic, right? If you insist on calling it a relic, it seems to be okay."
After all, in the eyes of players, the extraordinary information displayed by the seemingly ordinary golden pocket watch is evidence!
Pocket Watch (Evolved): This golden pocket watch, crafted by the first generation of the Vongola family for their members, carries the soul of a blonde, blue-eyed woman who rose from the corrupt aristocracy but remained untainted by it, forever guiding the family's path forward. Now, thanks to the intervention of the goldsmith Talpo, it seems to have undergone a new transformation.
The player looked again and saw that the font that originally appeared on the golden pocket watch floated and had undergone new changes.
A golden pocket watch crafted by the first generation of the Vongola family for their members. With the technical assistance of goldsmith Talpo and the material support of players, it has successfully evolved and, by chance, a new guest has arrived.
[D. Spedo: Lost his body, but his soul lives on.] His obsession with his beloved in the moment of life and death made him unwilling to simply vanish from the world. His strong personal will became a thread, tightly connecting him to the person he loved most in his life.

Player: “…”
Oh my goodness, isn't this our old acquaintance D. Spedo? We meet again!
"I think..." Seeing that Elena was a little depressed, the player thought for a moment and said comfortingly, "Don't be too sad, Elena. Maybe that guy is accompanying you in another form."
Players are giving crazy hints——
"...You're right, Chiyo. I don't think D would want to see me like this." Elena nodded, cheered herself up, and put away the pocket watch belonging to D. Spedo while the player seemed to be hesitant to speak.
She and D are actually the same. Even though they remain in this nostalgic world, their era has long passed.
Player: “…”
No, that’s not what the players meant.
But...it's okay, when the day comes that they meet again, Elena and D. Spedo might both show very interesting expressions!
The player narrowed his eyes, looking at the golden pocket watch that was back in his hand. He paused as he was about to hang it around his neck, then changed direction.
You'll just stay in the player's pocket for now, D. Spedo!
…
…
After the heavy topic ended, the player and Elena briefly chatted about the work that should be completed during the three or four days of absence. When they were about to pack up and go out for inspection, they received an unexpected call.
“…”
“…”
"Huh? Reborn? What's wrong? Why aren't you talking?" Seeing that his friend on the other end of the phone hadn't made any sound, the player couldn't help but feel a little confused.
He called first but remained silent... This is not like Reborn's style!
"Aurora, you should have some kind of teleportation ability... Never mind, I won't be using it for the time being." Reborn's deep voice was a little unclear through the communication equipment, but it was very clear to the player's ears. "Ms. Elena is with you, right?"
The player was a little confused, but quickly answered him: "She just left."
When the player answered the phone, Elena showed an understanding expression on her face. She raised her hand, put the things in her hand on the desk, and quickly left the leader's office.
Reborn: "Before she left Namimori, I asked her to pass something on to you. You should have received it by now."
The player glanced at the table and said, "A letter? But why are you giving me this?"
Wouldn't it be faster to just call? Is this just some kind of ritual that Italian men have?
Reborn turned a deaf ear to the player's question: "Since you've already met Ms. Elena, you must be curious about the Avengers now."
Before the player could admit it, Reborn continued, "Those guys, like D. Spedo, who disguised himself as Kato Juri, whom you met earlier, are hiding a very important secret."
Thinking of D. Spedo who had escaped from the domain, the player paused while fiddling with the letter and subconsciously sat up straight.
"Anyway, you'll know after you read it. Remember to use your brain." After arousing the players' curiosity, Reborn paused for a moment, then said, "...The Avengers seem to have an unusual interest in you. Be careful."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
**
Reborn: "Beware the Avengers."
Reborn: "The Avengers seem to have an unusual interest in you. You have to be careful."
In just a few days, this is the second time Reborn has reminded players to be careful of the Avengers, and the last reminder is still vivid in everyone's memory.
The player looked at the well-packaged letter on the table, feeling as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He hesitated for a long time before opening it.
A large amount of elegant Italian writing with Reborn's unique style came towards me.
but……
"...This letter looks like just a simple greeting, right?" Reminded to use his brain, the player looked at the flowery language in the letter, picked up a pen and poked it, gesturing left and right, trying to use the decryption method he had learned to solve the puzzle.
After spending a lot of time, I didn't find any useful clues except a bunch of incomprehensible text.
The player looked at the letter in his hand and rarely had the thought of asking others for help.
Haha, the player’s mommy is super invincible and powerful, how could the player be defeated by a small trouble!
Gorgeous words... Gorgeous words...
Hmm? Now that I think about it, it seems like a lot of words are redundant.
This paragraph introduces the scenery of Sicily, so cross it out.
This paragraph is a disrespectful quote to an old friend, cross it out.
This sentence is unclear and can be included in the collection of quotations to teach disciples. Save it first and then cross it out.
This word has a few extra letters, so write them out first.
…
…
"Okay, let me see..." After crossing out the extra words with his eyes, the player copied the remaining letters onto a plate and got the final answer.
[Congratulations to the player for successfully solving the puzzle, Intelligence +1]
With the joy of the system announcement, the player read out the series of letters.
"Bermuda von Wickenstein."
"The eighth attribute is the flame of death."
"Arcobaleno with a transparent pacifier!"
[Congratulations to the player for triggering the special mission Curse]
【The mission will be opened at irregular intervals】
Player: “?!!!”
————————
On the other side, Reborn looked at the messages coming one after another from other people on his phone, let out an unintelligible sigh, and simply turned off the screen.
Sure enough, this news caused a great shock to them, and brought together guys who had little contact with each other before. Even that guy Scarlu came to question him. He really deserved a beating.
But this is normal. After all, this matter is closely related to the past that they least want to mention.
Moreover, Aurora...
The sudden vibration interrupted Reborn's thoughts. He narrowed his eyes, suppressed the emotion that was leaking out, and answered the phone.
"Hey, you're the first person to call me." He said without any surprise
"You've expected it, Reborn. You're truly the most thoughtful person among us." A clear and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, like a spring breeze, warming one's heart.
This does not include Reborn.
"Don't give me that, Feng."
"That Scarluk guy, at best, would only dare to send me harassing messages; there's no way he'd call me. Colonello has concerns, and she's definitely the first person he thinks of after learning the clue. Wilde only cares about his research. Mammon, among us, is the most dedicated to breaking the curse. As for Alia...she should have known about this a long time ago."
"So, you are the only one who thought of contacting me first."
"...You're really honest, Reborn." Feng was stunned and smiled, "You really understand what each of us is thinking."
Even Emperor Will, who turned a deaf ear to the outside world and focused on research, knew what Colonillo was thinking. Therefore, his whereabouts were naturally the easiest to predict among the Sons of Rainbow. Of course, whether Scarlu knew about it or not was another matter.
As for the others... Reborn's speculation was quite reasonable and even he agreed with it.
But he still called Reborn after learning the clue, so he naturally had other purposes.
"I'm the world's number one killer." Reborn took Feng's exclamation for granted and said bluntly, "So, you haven't been able to contact Aurora, so you came to me to get some new information?"
Free by nature, apart from Aurora's contact information, there is no wind of any communication channels with the Port Mafia: "..."
Feng held his forehead and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.
This man really controls everyone's thoughts.
Was he being too obvious about it, or was he also concerned about this matter?

The author has something to say: I'm almost done with this part of the main story (probably) [glasses], but I'll also write a sequel! [covering my face and peeking][hug]
