【Xiyi】The Biggest Changes

XOXO has seen much of the loathsome, dark side of professional dueling, but Illumi takes his enemies to a whole new level of horror.

The matter started with a text message.

09:05? : Hello, XOXO.Do you want advice on how to beat Hisoka in the Olympic Duel?

There was no signature, and she did not recognize the number.She hesitated and sent back a text message:

09:08XOXO: Compared to cheating, I still want to win by my own strength.

09:08? : It's not a suggestion to let you cheat.I believe I can help you.

XOXO's tanned hands rest on top of the phone.She didn't know how to answer.Swallowing, pursing her lips tightly, she replied:

09:09 XOXO: Do you have any suggestions?

09:09? : Let's meet up. —IZ

She shuddered.Now, every landlord knows who Illumi beat the enemy.The battle where he teamed up with Hisoka and caused hundreds of thousands of damage to the training ground left a very deep impression on the hosts. XOXO was not there at the time, but the legend of that battle has already spread among the posters.

09:11 XOXO: If you're kidding me, I'll fucking kill you.Where do you want to meet?

She never heard back, but twelve hours later when she walked to the observation deck on the fifty floor to eat a protein bar from the vending machine, Illumi emerged from the shadows.She felt cold all over.

"Hello," she said.She secretly thanked her for having her thick black hair brushed back into a bun.If Illumi shoots at her, she can also make the most of her physical advantage, and won't be hindered by her hair in front of her eyes.

They confronted each other in silence for a while, XOXO was a little bit shocked, it was really embarrassing for Illumi to be so close.He just stared at people blankly, standing as straight as a board.He asked someone to meet but didn't say a word?

XOXO cleared his throat, "I think I'll start by asking you the most important thing: why did you help me defeat Hisoka? Aren't you—" she waved her hand, "—special... friends ?”

"We are ordinary friends." Illumi clarified.

XOXO thought, the kind that sometimes makes out, but didn't say it out loud.

"I think if Hisoka is defeated, he will leave the tower."

XOXO raised his eyebrows, stuffed the energy bar into his mouth and took a bite.She is waiting for Illumi's next words.

"When a landlord is defeated in the Olympia duel, the competitors on the [-]th floor can challenge him, and this challenge cannot be refused. Hisoka is not interested in these duels, he will directly give up the landlord status to first challenger."

XOXO frowned, "That seems unlikely. I mean, he'd give up the whole penthouse and all the privileges just because he's not interested in a lesser opponent?"

This time it was Illumi's turn to be in disbelief.If she didn't understand Hisoka's nature at all, it would be more difficult than he had imagined. "Obviously so."

"Let him go. Well, how can you help me?"

"There are still seventeen days before the game, I want to train you."

"I already have a teacher—"

"The training must be completely confidential, and only aimed at defeating Hisoka on the field, including all the details of the skills." Illumi took out a card from his coat pocket and handed it to XOXO.She reluctantly took it, and wrote an address on it in beautiful fonts, "Come here at midnight. Come every night before the final."

She stared at the address; it was a place just south of the Sky Tower, in the Warehouse District.

"It's quite possible that I won't be able to come every night. However, I will make appropriate arrangements for additional classes."

"Okay..." XOXO said hesitantly.

Illumi nodded, turned around and walked towards the tower.

"Wait, I remembered again—why did you do that?"

Illumi walked straight forward without looking back, "Hisso is my friend."

XOXO stared dumbfounded at Illumi's leaving back, "Your definition of a friend is too fucking bad."

"That's right!" Illumi's figure disappeared.

It's all too easy to forget the real world when surrounded by two hundred and fifty ten-story sky towers, lost in politics, scaffolding, gambling, fans, screaming and excitement.

So when Illumi received a text message from his father, his whole thinking angle became sharp, and he realized that he had spent so much time on Hisoka's duel in the past few days that the life The rest becomes trivial.

He has not received a mission for ten days.

He opened the mail, Hisoka appeared behind him and read it.Recently, they always nest together on the sofa and read the newspaper.Well, it's Illumi reading the newspaper and Hisoka doing crossword puzzles.

08:08 Father: Will you be able to go home at 18:00?We also occasionally catch up on the past.

Illumi felt something filling his veins.It was like relief, adrenaline and nostalgia.He felt like he hadn't been home for a long, long time.

08:09 Illumi: Okay.

08:09 Father: Stay overnight.

08:09 Illumi: Understood.

"Hmm, so interesting," Hisoka rolled back to his side of the sofa, holding a newspaper in his hand.He picked up the pencil behind his ear and went on looking at the clues.

"I'm going out tonight." Illumi said flatly.

"Oh, I got it." Hisoka bit the tip of the pen, staring at the small words intently, with his hair falling in front of his eyes.

Illumi continued to look at her mobile phone, they were surrounded by silence, only the time was still ticking.

"You're excited." Hisoka finally raised his eyes from the newspaper.

Illumi smiled.

"Bring back all your suits," Hisoka said.He looked at the newspaper again, "Ha." Bending down, he filled in a few small grids with a pencil.

Hisoka was right.Yilumi needs to prepare a suit for Youkexin City.

"What's life like outside of Beating the Enemy Manor?" Sheba asked.

This is Shiba's office, and Illumi is sitting directly opposite him, surrounded by computer equipment, and the machinery that provides energy for the entire mountain is flickering sporadically.There are also many daily photos of the Dadike family hanging in the office.Qi Ya's face occupies the largest screen.He went to Whale Island again.Illumi didn't know the reason, so he was very annoyed.He was almost indignant: why would he choose to go to such an unattractive small place when he had the opportunity to live in the vast and exquisite Beader Manor?

"Illumi?" Sheba said.

Illumi blinked, "Very good." He said honestly.

"No adaptation problems?"

"Mostly innocuous." Hisoka's teasing expression came to his mind, and Illumi narrowed his eyes distractedly.

"Oh?" Shiba smiled.He raised his strong arms and folded them across his broad chest.Illumi was stunned, and he remembered that Hisoka often did the same thing.Sit back, fold your arms over your chest, and smile like he knows everything you don't want him to know.Also wear vests.Why is it always a vest?

He'd study the resemblance between his father and Hisoka, but Illumi decided it was best to lock the thought into the back of his mind and let it die. "I live in the Sky Tower now."

"Haha. Are you there for a duel? It's a good source of extra money."

Illumi wrinkled her nose.He's become more conscious since Hisoka mentioned it—Illumi forced himself to keep his face straight, "I'm not interested in the duel competition there."

"Then why are you still there?"

"I live with an acquaintance."

Illumi's eyes widened as soon as he finished speaking.

Hisoka was his friend; not just an acquaintance.

He didn't want to tell his father.

Shiba continued to smile and said, "I understand." He picked up a piece of paper from the table and read out loudly, "Hisso."

Illumi couldn't understand why he didn't want his father to know.

"He's from Meteor Street and grew up in a gypsy gang," Sheba said.

"It's homeless," Illumi said.

Shiba raised his eyes from the paper, "Huh?"

"Hisso—call them bums." Not Gypsy.He—didn't like that word. "Anyway, yes. I've known Hisoka for a long time."

Shiba continued to read, "You were all young then."

"I was 12 years old." Illumi nodded.

"He killed our target. Your target."

He nodded again, recalling the incident.Illumi showed up at the target's home at that time, but found that the targets were all dead. He realized that someone else was there, someone who should not be here.But it wasn't until Hisoka finally emerged from the shadows months later that Illumi knew who he was.According to Hisoka, he did it for fun.

"Then why didn't you kill him then?" Xiba put down the information and asked straightforwardly and curiously.

Illumi went back to being 12 years old and standing in front of Hisoka, who was 16 years old, taller than him, but quite thin, looking horny and crazy.He had blond hair that had been poorly bleached, his clothes didn't fit well, and he smelled of corpses and blood—

Illumi replied, "I don't think you can win in a head-to-head confrontation. His telekinetic ability is very advantageous, and I was just getting started."

"If I asked you to kill him for the benefit of the family, would you do it?"

"Without a doubt." Illumi answered this sentence almost automatically.But his mind—hovered in various thoughts, kept going in circles.Illumi always had an immediate grasp of how to most efficiently take out a target, but against Hisoka, he couldn't make up his mind.Do it quietly while he is asleep?No—face to face—maybe they'll kiss—maybe he'll kiss him again.Maybe Hisoka would hold his face in his hands and Illumi could just stab him to death, holding his warm entrails in his own hands as they talked.He will be bathed in his blood.

Shiba obviously sensed the entanglement in the eldest son's heart, "I'm very glad that you can gain something outside the manor. Let's talk about work."

The rest of the time, the conversation is dominated by the various killer jobs the family has accomplished.As it turns out, Illumi's schedule was lightened thanks to Miji being forced to work on-site.Shiba and Kiju set new rules for all the children in the family—not just Illumi.Mi Chi also goes out to kill people like other children to earn income.

Apparently he wasn't doing too badly.So far no failures.Illumi knew he was smart; that intelligence was his greatest weapon in the line of killers.

He is proud of being funny.

"Anyway, with that little pig going out to work, things have become a little more manageable. It's the first time since Curt was born." The grandfather complained.

"We're talking about assigning tasks based on distance," Sheba said.

"Then I'm in charge of Youkexin City," Ilumi said, "I'm going to move there in a few weeks."

"Aha!" said the grandfather in distaste, "It's too big, too many lights, go and go."

Illumi smiled slightly, "I like it."

"Kiju didn't think you'd like anything but the estate," Sheba said. "She'd be glad to hear what you've decided."

She will probably cry a river.

Illumi nodded mechanically.In fact, he didn't expect to desire anything other than the manor.However, deep in his consciousness, the final direction has already been set.After Qi Ya inherits the family, he will move back to live.Qi Ya will let him move back, and he loves him too.

But Youkexin City is also acceptable.This is also part of his long-term mission.Illumi vaguely remembered that this period of time outside of beating the enemy's manor was indeed the longest mission he had ever had.

"Go back to your room and sleep," Sheba said, "You're going to take the airship early tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Illumi agreed.

Illumi was lying on his pitch-black bed, trying to sleep, when the phone on the mirror turned on.He reaches for his phone and sees a text message—from Hisoka.

01:32 Hisoka: Someone sent you a package.

01:33 Illumi: Who?

01:33 Hisoka: A man with gray temples.He is dead.

01:34 Illumi: Did you kill him?Why?

01:34 Hisoka: The package is not pretty. *-_-v

01:35 Illumi: Are you okay?

01:35 Hisoka: It's okay.

01:35 Illumi: Are you injured?

01:36 Hisoka: I'm hard.He said he still has children and begged me to let him live.

Illumi got goosebumps a little.He typed a few words uncontrollably, but in the end he didn't send it.With his fingers hovering over the keyboard, he stared into the darkness of his room, all the way into the deepest part.He deleted the original sentence and sent a new message:

01:37 Illumi: Why did you send me a message?

01:37 Hisoka: Hmm...you know why.

01:38 Illumi: You want me to thank you?

01:38 Hisoka: You have so many questions.How does it feel at home?

01:39 Illumi: Father asked me if I would kill you.

He began to shiver again, a heavy feeling in his stomach.His mind is now full of the image of that bloody kiss, and he shouldn't have brought it up.

01:39 Hisoka: How did you answer?

01:39 Illumi: I thought about how to kill you.

01:40 Hisoka: Oh, got it.What is the final decision?

01:40 Illumi: I want to divert your attention.

Stop it, Illumi.

01:40 Illumi: Once I succeed, I will overwhelm you.I want to use a needle, and you can't even move.You can't even breathe unless I let you breathe.

01:41 Hisoka: It sounds like I'm going to have a hard time.

01:41 Illumi: You can't even speak.

01:41 Hisoka: I'm not sure I'd be interested in talking at that time.

Stop texting, Illumi.

01:41 Illumi: Me too.

Suddenly, he felt so hot.He pulled up the collar of his clothes, struggling to take off his nightgown, and the cold air flowed into the quilt as he moved.

01:41 Illumi: I'll beat you up.

01:41 Hisoka: As you go.

As soon as this reply appeared on the screen, Illumi's penis reacted immediately between his legs, and he reached into his pajama pants and took hold of his own.

01:43 Hisoka: I'll let you kill me blood splattered.

Instinctively, Illumi spread her legs, turned around, buried her face in the pillow, and ignored the sent messages.He began to breathe heavily, his cock throbbing hard and throbbing between his fingers, and Illumi forced himself to stop - and the phone came on again.

01:45 Hisoka: I'll let you strangle me.

The movements of his hands quickened, rubbing against the sheets.He wondered if Hisoka was doing the same thing now, on a bed in that tower.Was Hisoka smiling, naked and tense, stroking his penis with one hand while sending a message to Illumi with the other.

01:46 Hisoka: Do you think so?

01:46 Hisoka: I can let you ride me while you kill me.

He was gasping for breath.He wanted to reply, that he wouldn't, but his hands were under him, stroking his cock and thighs.He pulled down his trousers and knelt on the bed, his trousers tangled between his legs.He wanted to message Hisoka that he would never—never—

01:49 Hisoka: You're going to ride me and fuck yourself while I'm lying dead on the ground, aren't you?

Illumi groaned and wanted to lower her voice, and when she was close to orgasm, there was a dizzy white light in front of her eyes.He soothed himself more quickly.

01:51 Hisoka: Your semen covered my blood.

With a muffled scream from her head buried in the pillow, Illumi came and cum in her hand.He was lying on the bed, his hair was loose, a little stuck to his face, and more layers were scattered on the pillow, and his pants were tangled up at the knees.

He leaned against the wet pillow and panted heavily, gradually returning to reality.He continued to maintain that posture, the semen slowly getting cold in his palm.

01:52 Hisoka: Or am I wrong?

Illumi wiped her hands on her nightgown and threw it off the bed with unnecessary force.He straightened his long hair, brushing back the hair stuck to his face.Turning over, he pulled his trousers up to his waist again.

01:53 Hisoka: I almost called you instead of texting.

Illumi finally replied to him.

01:54 Illumi: I won't answer you.It's late now.Good night, Hisoka.

01:55 Hisoka: See you tomorrow morning. *^_^v

Illumi came back to the apartment at nine o'clock in the morning and smelled waffles as soon as he walked in.He was wearing a suit with a protective cover in one hand, and a duffel bag in the other, with the details of the latest assassination mission folded in the back pocket of his trousers.In the few days before Hisoka's competition, he had to complete the tasks and arrange training for XOXO.He had already written a document detailing Hisoka's many psychic abilities and greatest weaknesses as a tool to help her win.

His libido is number one on the list of weaknesses.

Based on the smell of the breakfast, Illumi thought that he might as well stop greeting Hisoka and go back to the room directly.Maybe they've gotten too close these past few weeks, frustrated by the constant lingering in his mind of those text messages and the events of the night before, with a second cell phone heavy as a brick in his luggage.

He walked straight from the door of the apartment to his room, pushed open the door, and saw a mostly naked Hisoka sitting on his bed eating.

Illumi stood at the door, and the duffel bag fell to the ground with a thud.

"Welcome back," Hisoka said.He smelled sweet and wore a pair of well-fitting gym shorts.Apparently he just finished a morning workout.Or morning sex. (Both?) Illumi scanned the room quickly.

"what are you doing here?"

Hisoka lay back lazily, legs spread wide.Illumi remembered that he had done the same thing in Hisoka's room.It didn't work on Hisoka then, and it doesn't work on himself now.Illumi's mind was filled with unceasingly growing anger, and his aura was on full blast.

"Am I bothering you?" Hisoka asked.He looked Illumi up and down, and for a moment Illumi wondered if it was true that he had clairvoyance.Could he see Illumi kneeling on the bed last night?Does he know what he has done?

"Yes," Illumi said, "leave."

"Okay, okay," Hisoka stood up slowly, picking up a plate of waffles on the nightstand.

"The waffles can stay," Illumi said.

"Huh?" Hisoka looked at Illumi through his pink bangs.

"Waffles stay, you go."

"Okay~" Hisoka said.He smiled slyly and put down the plate.He passed the killer as he walked through the door.The trembling that Illumi felt the night before returned, but this time he was on guard, bathed in the morning light, and he forced himself to pretend nothing happened.

Closing the door with some emptiness, Illumi sat down to have breakfast alone.

"This document contains all the information you need in battle." Illumi handed XOXO a large leather envelope.They are standing in the cold and windy empty warehouse at this moment.Illumi wore an oversized scarf and a black hat, wrapping her up airtight. XOXO's clothes are not so fashionable, but a leather jacket is more capable, and his hair is tied into two big ponytails, one on the left and one on the right.

"I hate reading." She sighed.

"If you can make good use of what I give you, you can definitely win." Illumi said, "I'm going to work on a business trip, and I won't be back until the day of the competition. If you have any questions, you can contact me. I have already found a friend , will give you game training here."

XOXO nodded, holding the envelope to his chest, "At midnight every day."

"I don't pay much attention to technology. Hisoka's tactics are his greatest strength, which is more powerful than his ability to read. He can beat you without thinking."

"Yes, yes, I understand. Your husband is a genius."

"He's not my husband." Illumi said reflexively. XOXO raised his eyebrows and looked at him suspiciously, Illumi added, "He can't afford a ring."

XOXO's face paled, "Are you—are you joking?" She curled up her mouth and laughed.

Illumi smiled beautifully.He reached into his pocket and took out a remote control, "The black substance you are standing on is installed in the warehouse for training purposes. This substance can dissolve and solidify according to requirements, and can also be attached and manipulated. It's a bit like Hisoka the stretchable love."

"Scalable love?"

"His hair-has the dual characteristics of rubber and chewing gum, I'm sure he will tell you in terms of combat power. Anyway..." Illumi pressed a few times on the remote control, XOXO suddenly fell down, black matter It drowned him like quicksand.She gasped, "Get out as soon as possible." He turned and threw the remote control away, "Once you get out alive, keep practicing until you can get out within a tenth of a second."

"You—fucking kidding—" The black matter continued to overwhelm her, and she fought it hard, flailing out on all fours.

"Think faster," Illumi said, "or he'll kill you." His phone was buzzing in his pocket, and he took it out to see Hisoka's message.

12:08 Hisoka: Do you want cookies?

Illumi didn't understand the context of the question, but replied anyway.

12:08 Illumi: Yes.

He turned around and saw that XOXO was steadily crawling out using her enhanced mind power—she built auxiliary materials on her limbs and was able to get out of the black matter.

It works.He squinted his eyes and secretly increased her win rate from 4% to 8%.Taller than most people.She finally poked her head out and took a breath of air.

"Go on," said Illumi, "imagine the blood being measured; or the severed head flying towards you."

"Where the hell is he going to get his head cut off?" XOXO gasped.

"Hisoka is naturally cunning."

"Both of you are born mentally ill." XOXO hissed.

"I'm leaving," Illumi looked down at his phone, "I'll be there on the night of the game."

"Great." XOXO said struggling, continuing to entangle with the black matter.

Illumi didn't even say goodbye, turned around and left, heading straight to the apartment, obviously, also for the cookies.
