【Xiyi】Ten times Hisoka tried to kill Illumi, but once he didn't

Hisoka pushed open the door of the room.

The magic show just now won the favor of all the audience as usual. After a while, the outside of my lounge will be filled with gifts from fans, most of which will be flowers, and some people will give some cute props, some of which will be made by myself. , but Hisoka piled them up in the circus warehouse and never touched them.His favorite props are playing cards.

Hisoka looked into the makeup mirror and repaired the slightly faded oil paint stars on the right face, um, let's use pink and yellow for tomorrow.

The reason why he came to this shady circus is very simple. The head of the circus, Lux, is a telekinetic and has friendship with some big names in the dark world.During the few months he was here, Hisoka often performed with the circus on some more formal occasions, such as as an add-on to the masquerade ball, just like today.

The big shots are never short of money, and the environment provided to the circus this time is even more extravagant than expected.For a newcomer to the circus, Hisoka's lounge is absolutely luxurious. Even inside, he couldn't hear the cheers and cheers outside, and many black curtains were hung to match his magic show. There are also five or six black boxes of different sizes and an incomprehensible crystal ball.What surprised him the most was that there was a water tank that was more than two meters to three meters in the room. Would anyone really expect that kind of deceitful program of unlocking the lock?

In short, the big room is full of things that Hisoka doesn't need. It seems that some respectable people have some strange misunderstandings about magicians.

After earning enough money from the Sky Arena, Hisoka, apart from occasionally accepting high-value and challenging tasks provided by informants, most of the time he still looks for opponents according to his own preferences.

Three months ago, he went to Youkexin's auction to join in the fun, and he got his eyes on the shady circus performing. It happened that Xi Suo couldn't wait to try his newly created ability of thinking.

Joining the circus is easy. Hisoka easily won the approval of the head of the circus with "flexible love". No one would go against the leader's order to provoke him - no one wants to lose face by being defeated by a 15-year-old kid - they just use the leader to comfort themselves.

Of course, the condition for Hisoka to help the circus perform is to fight with the head of the troupe, which lasts for three months.

And today is the last performance within the time limit, Hisoka is eager to try, of course, before that, it is necessary to find a proper warm-up exercise.

Hisoka took off the magician's black cloak and tall hat, wore his usual poker-patterned jacket and waist lining, casually put on a pair of loose trousers, changed the hard black leather shoes, and took a cover The eye mask pretended to dress up, and sneaked into the masquerade scene from the backstage.

Under the elegant guise of "Dancing Party", it is just a fig leaf for the upper class to cover their social circles in order to do black business.After all, no matter what your identity or background is, you can't tell whether there is a person or a ghost inside, and no one cares whether the wine or poison in your hand is separated by a layer of strange clothes.And there is no shortage of skilled bodyguards or hunters to protect these money-laden heads.

This kind of dance is a good time for hunting, Hisoka will not miss it.

The moment Hisoka stepped into the banquet hall, he felt a familiar atmosphere, but he didn't dare to open the "Yuan" to test the identity or position of this person.There are quite a few people with the ability to think in his perception, and it will be much less fun if they startle the snake.

However, I still want to know which little apple that familiar taste belongs to.Hisoka randomly took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, imitating others and walking slowly while holding it in his hand.

Illumi?Hisoka paused for a moment as he scanned the audience, then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, typical Illumi-style dress.

Zombies are really good for Illumi.He was born with a pale complexion and lifeless eyes, so a touch of blue would make the transformation perfect.Hisoka found that today's Illumi seems to be very leisurely, he even added a half-exposed knife on the top of his head, and some blood flowed down his face - it should have taken a little thought, but Hisoka still hopes Next time I can give him a makeup class, at least don't keep the original pink color of my lips just to save trouble.

Hisoka walked towards Illumi, thinking about whether the appearance of Illumi would cause inconvenience to his next actions. After all, the only thing that could make Illumi participate in this kind of gathering was his target among these people, If it's the head of the circus... Ah, it shouldn't be possible.

Who is the one?Hisoka started off with the biggest attendees ever, the host of the banquet, the Moruss family, the old fellow of Moruss with his fledgling heir, surrounded by congratulatory crowds and eight bodyguards in identical black suits .If the target is him, Illumi will have to work a little harder. It's a good show to kill ten people to deceive people.Hisoka turned to several other famous families. They were actually very conspicuous in the crowd. The fixed group looked around vigilantly from time to time, but everyone knew it.

Hisoka suddenly didn't want to say hello.If he could see Illumi's killing process and his surprised expression, Hisoka might be so happy that he would give up looking for warm-up prey.

But it's a pity, Yilu doesn't seem to have learned to read yet.As a killer, "Jue" is self-taught, but Hisoka still looks forward to Illumi's telekinetic ability, it must be an operating system, as you can tell by his meticulous and rigid face.

With a burst of cheers, the leader Lux appeared from behind the red curtain.Lux is the only animal trainer in the circus. The reason why there is no need for other animal trainers in the troupe is because his manifested telekinetic ability can usually be completed by one person to ten people.Of course, the cooperation on the court is also seamless, which is the key to his success.Lux's audience isn't one to care about his approach, as long as the entertaining, somewhat cheerful background acts as a tempering agent for negotiating dirty deals.

Illumi moved.

His target Hisoka didn't guess right this time, it was Lux, the head of the circus.Of course, this is also the most difficult task Illumi has received from his father so far, and he also felt the solemnity of the air the moment the leader appeared on the stage just now, as if someone suddenly added thousands of The weight of the ton is still a bit too heavy for a person who has just opened the third floor of the door to the trial of beating the enemy.He decided not to wait any longer, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

But it is still impossible for Mr. Assassin, who has always been low-key, to kill the target under the eyes of all the powerful people present.Originally, Illumi just wanted to come to the scene to try out the target of this difficult task, but it turned out that it was a deep pool of bottomless water, so he immediately prepared to ambush in the target's lounge.

Before coming here, I have investigated the location of the lounge and the corresponding departure route. Illumi successfully bypassed the backstage staff and sneaked into the largest room at the end of the corridor. The light is the warm yellow common in circuses. The cages are left open, and their owners are grandstanding on stage.

When Hisoka knew Illumi was targeting Lux, he had to start thinking whether to kill Illumi now, or let him try to complete the mission.Although it is very likely that the assassination failed in the end, and then Illumi was killed by Lux.

No matter how you think about it, Yilu is going to die this time.Hisoka frowned, not what he wanted to see.If he was given a choice, Illumi's upside is exciting, and Lux ​​is probably too mature to make a breakthrough... Well, let's help Illumi.Hisoka conjured up a playing card and went back to his room.

As for the loss, it would be fun to tease Yilu at that time, and it would be even better to stimulate the development of ideas.

"Oh? It seems that besides the little magician from our group, there are still people interested in me?"

Illumi's hands that turned into pointed nails trembled, and he still hid behind the box.It was impossible for him to kill by surprise, and Illumi reviewed plan two in his mind.

Originally, the reason why he wanted to do it close by hand was because he was afraid that bullets would not be able to cause damage to the target.Illumi still remembers his father and grandfather, and even his mother doesn't care about bullets.With caution, he should use what he knows best.Plus now, this target looks very easy and full of flaws, but Illumi can't find a gap where he can strike.

Moreover, who is the little magician this person is talking about?Killer Illumi's intuition told him that he was not someone to look forward to.

"Aren't you coming out yet? If not, I'll go find you." Lux tugged at the animal taming whip that was used in the show just now, "There are many people who want to kill me, but they can't even use it... ...Are you too confident, or too stupid?"

read?A drop of cold sweat ran down Illumi's forehead, and the skin that rubbed off was as cold as an ice cellar. Even the sound of water drops falling on the ground and breaking was very clear, as if someone had pressed the button to slow down the playback.

Illumi didn't dare to move, or he couldn't move, he was sure that he was pinned in place by something, but he couldn't see it, only the magnified senses told him that the person in front of him was dangerous, he couldn't kill him, Illumi felt that if he tried his best to complete the task, he would eventually confess to himself, and then he would become a lonely ghost without knowing the cause of death.

Uncertainty made Illumi wait for Lux to walk in front of him without any reaction, and the close range made Ilumi tremble uncontrollably. When Lux stretched out a hand, he finally stopped forcing himself, He jumped to the door.

"It turned out to be a child. No wonder you can't read it. The person who entrusted you with this kind of task probably wants to kill you more."

Illumi is not used to communicating with task subjects. In the past, their lives were taken away in the blink of an eye, and they didn't even have time to open their mouths.This is the first time Illumi has seen a living target speak, and it is very uncomfortable to be so superior, but he can only watch helplessly as the other party slowly advances towards him again, unable to move an inch, and the pressure from the ball to the present is superimposed The feeling made Illumi feel like he was about to be smashed to pieces.

"If you don't come out again, this kid will die here?"

Hisoka watched in the dark as Illumi raised his foot and put it down again, every strand of Qi released from Lux rushed towards Illumi with a tearing feeling, and his body would not be able to bear it, so he forcibly opened the air hole, After that is the most unstable period, but also the most dangerous period.Hisoka would never allow this to happen.

Although the battle was different from what he had imagined, Hisoka could only respond to Lux passively in order to have a more exciting duel with Illumi in the future.

"Oh, I've been discovered." The voice sounded familiar to Illumi, but he didn't think about it, and still focused on the source of danger in front of him.

"You suddenly used the ultimatum just now, and it's hard for people not to doubt it."

There was only a thousandth of a second between Illumi noticing that the pressure around him disappeared and violently grabbing Lux's heart with his finger that turned into a murder weapon, and there were still beads of sweat on his chin that hadn't had time to drip.The relaxation period required by normal people is like a fake to him. After being buried alive so many times in Kukulu Mountain, Illumi is very good at handling sudden changes in air pressure.

It's just that he also underestimated the target's ability to respond this time.At the same time that he touched the thin cloth outside his heart, the aftermath of an explosion erupted from Lux's body. Before he could react, Illumi was shaken a little bit, his hand pierced his right shoulder, and his forearm was stuck.

"Still a kid with some skills."

Yilumi's facial features twitched subtly. He wanted to attack the opponent's heart directly from his body and dig it out, but just as he was about to move, he found that it was completely fixed, and he couldn't even pull it out. He felt His forearm was twisted tighter and tighter, and there was even the illusion that it was strangling his neck.

How could human flesh have such hardness and power?No, that chilling breath reappeared again, this time even more obvious than before. Illumi's clothes were soaked in sweat, sticking to his body, making him dodge slightly uncomfortable.

In the eyes of outsiders, Illumi is still terribly calm, as if the forearm that was broken due to excessive squeezing just now does not belong to him.Illumi was still looking for an opportunity, waiting for the next time when Lux released that terrible ability, he turned his palm and dug out the heart.

"Well, it seems that you have also found out that Yilu is doing well. So I'm sorry, can we bring forward the original tomorrow morning? I want to save my friend."

Hisoka felt that if he didn't show up again, Illumi, who didn't realize the seriousness, would have one arm permanently disabled before he developed Nen-look at the garbage on the 200th floor--Illumi is such a perfect toy There can be no defects.

He came out from the shadows outside the door. Although the corners of his mouth were raised high, the smile did not reach his eyes.Hisoka was threatening Lux with his ki, and protecting Illumi from further erosion.

"Why, are you going to die instead of him? Originally, I wanted to save your life to continue working in the circus."

Illumi, who was covered by Hisoka with "Jian", was punched into the iron cage by Lux, and the pillar that could trap the beast was dented, but Illumi had never felt so awake before, and the pain was overwhelmed by him. The frustration and unwillingness in his heart were completely squeezed out. He thanked Hisoka for his help, but he didn't want to admit his weakness and didn't know how to face the failure of the first mission.

"Well, it sounds good, but I'm actually looking forward to another ending."

Hisoka glanced at the figure paralyzed by the cage, Illumi's wrinkled nose and frowning expression were so exciting, and he kept staring at himself, making him eager to find someone to relieve him.

The suddenly lengthened whip brushed Hisoka's face with the sound of breaking wind, and then another whip with afterimage.Hisoka let his center of gravity shift to dodge, and rolled on the ground with his strength, his legs gracefully brushed past the flying whip, and quietly glued the "flexible love" to it.He climbed up the wall and ran towards Lux as if on flat ground.Hisoka saw the long whip in Lux's hand turn into a thought and attached it to his hand, he tore off a curtain in the room with a smile, and lightly landed in front of Lux.

Hisoka was finally able to use the new ability.

The moment the curtain fell into his hands, with his back to Lux, Hisoka glued the "frivolous illusion" on it to turn it into a few playing cards, then wrapped it with "flexible love", turned around and moved his arms to shake it to lux.

Hisoka looked at Lux with a sneer and stretched out his hand to knock the "playing cards" away, and his eyes were full of sarcasm, but soon Hisoka noticed the long-awaited expression change, a moment of shock, followed by With the fear of the unknown, and the anger of being deceived.Look, how strong a person will panic for his life.

The card that should have been hard as a blade by Hisoka's infusion of thought power suddenly became soft, and was completely covered by Lux's action on his right hand, and then he couldn't get rid of it anymore.

"New ability, frivolous illusion, you have been deceived." Hisoka hooked the fingers and calves connected with "flexible love", and Lux ​​raised his hands forward, and his right hand was completely wrapped and unable to use. "I originally wanted to introduce this ability well before fighting you, but unfortunately it's more important to get rid of you first."

Hisoka enjoys Lux's distorted face, "It can be perfectly transformed into any material. Of course, if you use condensate early, it will be completely exposed. Oh, I suggest you don't try to pull me over, after all, you can see Look at the soles of my feet."

"Okay, Yilu, you should go to a doctor now."

"What's that?" Illumi was still staring at Hisoka, who was licking the blood off the cards with his tongue.

"Well, I'm not sure if this is a good place to discuss this. You see, we'll have guests soon." Hisoka nodded towards the door.

Illumi narrowed her eyes, and "swished" out of the room before Hisoka could see clearly, took out the hearts of all the people passing by in the background with his intact left hand, and then brought them back to Hisoka.

"Can you tell me now?"

Hisoka shook his head in admiration, his eyes stayed on Illumi's suddenly pursed mouth, he suddenly put away any expression on his face, and frantically released the energy in his body to rush towards Illumi.

The six hearts in Illumi's hands fell to the ground, and Hisoka's aura was completely different from the feeling of gently surrounding him for protection.This time, he really felt that Hisoka wanted to kill him, and he didn't feel the coldness from Lux who fell to the side at all.There was still a thorn in Ilumi's heart, and he didn't even have the same desire to escape as before, but just let Hisoka pour the breath called "Nian" into his body, and the pores were filled little by little , even about to overflow, just like the pain in his chest when he was thrown into deep water.

"what--"

The energy stored by Illumi burst out with the roar, and directly forced Hisoka back, making him sit down with a smile and appreciate the soaring mist from Ilumi's body. People are excited.

"What is this?" Illumi felt the sudden enlightenment in his body, as if everything in his body was breathing. He could hear the beating of every cell, the flow direction of every blood vessel, and he could even see the broken right arm bones.

"This is qi, the basis of the ability to read just now. How does it feel?"

Hisoka smiled treacherously, and Illumi narrowed his eyes to observe the pink circle around Hisoka, which was not like a volcanic eruption like him, but quietly entwined around a centimeter around Hisoka's skin, covering it layer quilt.Intuition told Illumi that he should control the gas emitted from his body, so he tried to change the gas around his body to Hisoka's current state.

"Wow, I'm really ashamed, Yilu." Hisoka clapped his hands, "I can learn how to wrap myself, ah, I want to fight you more and more."

Under Hisoka's cannibalistic gaze, Illumi looked at him for a long time, seeing that the other party didn't further explain the meaning of reading, he awkwardly took out the mobile phone in his right pocket with his left hand, and sent a text message of "Mission Complete" to his father.

"It's not good to just take away my work, Illu?"

"Ah, if you want money, I can share it with you, but it is impossible for you to start with money." Illumi snapped his fingers, "If Hisoka also accepts the same assassination mission, then you should kill me first." Drop it, and then take the reward alone. The best explanation is that you just happened to regard my target as prey."

"Well, it's great that you still remember my name." Hisoka sat on the ground and looked at him with his face propped up. After listening to his analysis with a smile, his eyes glowed, "By the way, Yilu, give me your phone number ?”

"I don't have a cell phone." Illumi put the cell phone back in his pocket, "If you don't want money, I'll leave first."
