【Xiyi】The Biggest Changes

Tanmen's head exploded like a ripe watermelon in Illumi's hands.

Apart from his head, the rest of his body was not much better after two hours of torture.Breaking one finger at a time, Illumi finally pulled out the truth from his mouth——

Taking out an extra shirt from the tanmen backpack, Illumi wiped his hands, and turned his head to look at Shiba and Jeno standing at the door with a blank expression. "Inland City," he said, "is where Hisoka was taken by ambushes." With one last glance at Tanem, his body was strapped to a rusty chair in the kitchen of his home, covered in blood-stained dirt. Surrounded by dirty banknotes.

A vengeful man pays him to betray Hisoka.For a bag of money, this life was lost like this.What a waste, Illumi thought. Tanmen are so stupid.

"Let's drive back to your apartment," Sheba said, "and we'll catch a helicopter from there."

"No," Illumi said, "that would be too time consuming. We should go straight to the airport."

"You plan to take a civilian flight to carry out an assassination?" Shiba frowned.

"I don't want to either. But it'll save almost an hour. We've spent about three hours finding the tanmen and prying the intel from him." Illumi tossed his bloodstained shirt aside and headed toward the door. go.

"That's not practical," Sheba said. "We're going to go by helicopter."

"No." Illumi refused.He stopped at the door of the room and looked up at his father.The black eyes stared directly at the other's blue eyes, and the eyes of the two were deadlocked, and the air was suddenly filled with electric sparks.

Jeno looked back and forth between the two of them, sighed, and walked out of the room alone, "This is Illumi's job, let's take a small airship."

Shiba was a little annoyed, but nodded anyway.When the three of them walked to Illumi's car, Shiba said to his son, "That clown made you lose your mind."

Illumi sat in the car and remained silent.

"That's why we don't allow kids to make friends," Sheba said, sitting in the back seat.

"Hisso is not my friend," Illumi paused, "he is much more important than a friend."

Illumi's attention was all on the road, and he had no time to care about Shiba's reaction.But Jeno's dry laughter showed that his father's face was probably not very good-looking.

Luyun City was built on a cliff, hence the name.Looking out, there are large swamps that are not suitable for human habitation.Although the size of the city is not as large as Youkexin, it is only about an hour's drive away from the big city, so it is not an exaggeration to call it a super large suburb.

Thanks to the swamp, the city has a rotten stench most of the time.As soon as Illumi got out of the car, he wrinkled his nose.

"I haven't been here since you were born," Sheba said. "I forgot it stinks."

"Go this way." Jeno pointed the way.The entrance to the abandoned subway is hidden in a low house.The underground activities in Luyun City are worthy of the name, almost all of them are located underground-the underground is covered with a network that runs through the whole city, full of those shady activities.The amount of information here is astonishing, and Hisoka can definitely be traced easily.

Illumi's plan is simple: ask people.

The three members of Beating the Enemy walked into the tall and narrow dark tunnel, followed the faint sound of heartbeats, and walked along the rusty railway.The surroundings were illuminated by lights, a mouse flew away because of the passing of the killers, and there was an indistinct sound of dripping water overhead.

They came across a group of teenagers playing poker.

Illumi recognized the deck immediately.

The body moved before consciousness, thinking that Hisoka might be unarmed now, his mind was dizzy for a while.Two needles flew out and pierced a boy's face, and Illumi distorted his dead face.Aggressive eyes approached the remaining three people.It is necessary to kill one of them outright before starting a conversation, which establishes authority.

"Where did you get this deck of cards?"

The group of teenagers glanced back and forth in horror at the twisted corpses of Illumi and their friend.

Illumi raised a needle, ready to kill another one, when a little girl with a dirty face raised her hands: "It's Rio! The person you're looking for is Rio!"

The little girl raised her hand tremblingly, and pointed to the tunnel, "Go along here for three blocks, then go north for two blocks, exit J."

One of the companions hissed, "Mara, no—they're going to kill us."

"He's going to kill us!" Mara replied, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Illumi," Sheba said, "come on, hurry up."

Illumi turned around and left, and the three Beat the Enemy members went all out and disappeared into the air.The three children left behind collapsed and wept loudly. Their cries echoed throughout the tunnel like a chorus. To Illumi, it sounded like a song of revenge.

________________________________________

When Hisoka was in Luyun City a few years ago, he killed a man who tried to stab him in broad daylight.Hisoka just turned the dagger and threw it upwards, and the blade pierced the man's jaw with all his strength, piercing his entire head.Blood spattered from his head, spattered the tip of the blade, and he fell dead.

Hisoka didn't think too much about it at the time, and left without even asking why, and to be honest, the reason for killing him didn't matter to him at all.There were cries all around, and he strolled through the center of the city like a garden.He didn't notice a child running out of the shadows, let alone the child crying to wake his brother.

Both James and Judas were orphans.James, who was ten years older than his brother, decided to join a gang that ran the underground network of Junction City.The Rio gang was the most powerful gang, involved in everything from prostitutes to drugs, and it was most likely to make him famous.

James had tried the narrow path—he'd worked in kitchens, hung out on construction sites, done manual labor, but couldn't make enough for rent and food.Judah was always going to bed hungry and crying in his dreams, and James knew he had no choice.He found the Rio Gang, begging for a chance.

The boss of the gang arranged a mission for him to join the club.Ask James to pick someone to kill on the main road of Luyun City. The time is lunch time. There will be many witnesses around that point as witnesses.Hisoka was busy with the brigade in Luyun City at that time.His height and that outfit made him a big target.James thought, this man is muscular, but dressed like a magician, probably has no resistance at all.

This is the last time he thinks.

Judas witnessed the whole process.This scene was seared into his memory—he hugged his brother's powerless corpse, crying for help, and spent the first completely lonely night in his life covered in his brother's blood.

Hisoka was also seared into his memory.This magician walked slowly through the ever-increasing crowd of onlookers, and he could be said to be calm.

Judas' anger made him stronger.His connection to James' gang made him even stronger.Although he was only 12 years old at the time, he joined the gang instead of his brother.Over the next five years, the Rio Gang grew ever more powerful.

They are simply a regular army.They have weapons, they have technology, they have cash.They also have Judas, who has rage and infinite powers of mind.He had spent five years training himself and the Rio Gang for this moment.Hisoka can be played with applause completely.

"You don't even know you're being followed, do you?" Judah said, sitting across from Hisoka.And Hisoka was sitting on a heavy metal chair, unable to move.

Hisoka opened his eyes wide and smiled slightly, "Of course. I thought you were all following Yilu."

"Your lover. You have this day too - when you kill people, you don't care about their loved ones, or who they are loved by." Judah said.Suddenly, tears filled his eyes—tears of anger.He looked younger than 17 at the moment, "Do you remember, you killed my brother?"

Judas punched Hisoka's half of the face with a punch, and he was knocked over from the chair with force, and fell to the ground in a daze. "Shut up!" Judas yelled.

Two other men in the room stepped forward separately.One raised his hand and pressed Judas' shoulder, and the other dragged Hisoka back to the chair.Hisoka kept bleeding from the corner of his mouth, his eyes were cold, and he stared at Judas expressionlessly.

Judas wiped the corners of his eyes, took a breath, and stood up.He stood in front of Hisoka with his head held high, and laughed wantonly. "I spent countless hours training myself to be stronger than you—" He looked at the other two men and said with a smile, "Now, we are all much stronger than you. Aren't you afraid?"

Hisoka just tilted his head and smiled slightly, his teeth were stained red by his own blood.

"Ha - good." Judah took a step back and gestured to one of his companions.The man produced a vise. "I think it's time to start tearing you apart. Rip you piece by piece. Let you become a pool of blood on the ground and become part of my feet."

Hisoka watched Judas knelt in front of him, raised his hand, and clamped a piece of his nail with a vise.Blood soaked the entire finger and immediately dripped down the vise.He watched it all, pulling himself away from the pain.

"The show is just beginning," Judas hissed, cleanly pulling off the nail, leaving a bloody gash. "Come piece by piece."

________________________________________

Hisoka's arm was covered in blood from between his fingers to his elbow.After pulling off Hisoka's nails one by one, Judas himself was also stained with blood.The child raised his hand to wipe away the tears that flowed from his face due to anger, and wiped a touch of red on his cheeks.

Judas' power of thought is hard to resist.Probably as annoying as stretchy love.As long as Judas wraps his fist with thought power, whenever he hits someone, the opponent will be instantly paralyzed.The harder you beat, the stronger the paralysis effect.He hit Hisoka almost five times before slowing him down.This mental power combined with Judas' extraordinary speed, and the gang he brought with him, left Hisoka with no room for tricks; and naturally, he was caught immobile.He is now so weak that he can only speak and breathe.

Hisoka finally understood why some people didn't like to duel with him - because of his mind power.

But now, his fingernails were scattered in a pool of blood on the ground, and the throbbing pain at his fingertips was like a warning.

"You're thinking about my mind power," Judas said.

"Honestly, that's true." Hisoka turned his gaze from his hands to Judah's bloody face.

"You killed my brother and I rushed to him and I couldn't move. I froze and watched you just go away. Everything in my heart was locked. That's where my strength came from. ’ said Judas.

"I took the one you loved, but I gave you something else in return. Seems fair," Hisoka said. "Your power is very special. It's amazing, you really are powerful."

Judas blushed and yelled viciously, "Shut the fuck up."

bingo.Hisoka narrowed his eyes, immediately focusing on his weakness. "Why, Judas—you like me teasing you?"

"I told you to shut up. I'm going to cut your tongue out."

"Oh? In order to have a close contact with my lips?" Hisoka licked the corner of his mouth meaningfully, tasting the smell of blood.

Judah swayed back a few steps.Then he picked himself up again, retried the pace of attack, and strode back to Hisoka. "A few months ago, I saw you having sex with the killer in an alley. You were drunk again that time. In the stairwell not far from the street where you live."

Hisoka remembered that night.Illumi took him to finish dinner, and they both drank too much whiskey, and finally left the restaurant together blushing and happy.While waiting to cross the street, Hisoka kissed Illumi, and Illumi did not resist.His obedience set Hisoka on fire, and he dragged Illumi into the nearest alley.He tore off Illumi's pants and unzipped his own, just enough for their cocks and rutte agains this ass.Illumi begged Hisoka not to make too much noise, and Hisoka whispered I love you into Illumi's ear, which made him shoot all over the wall.

"Let this be a little secret between us. I think Illu-chan will feel very ashamed."

"It's astonishing--watching you for so many years--I didn't even know you were gay," Judah said. "Tch--I don't think you've ever loved anything."

"It made you curious?" Hisoka tilted his head, but he was really curious.

"No. Thinking of you—you, the monster—could love—someone else—" Judas snapped his mouth shut.

"Hmm. Well," Hisoka blinked, "I'm not gay."

Judas smiled mockingly.

"I like girls," Hisoka said, "and boys. And everything else. I'm a philanthropist, Judas."

Judas finally lost his temper and punched Hisoka again.Hisoka felt his body become more paralyzed.It's even reached the point where I can't breathe.The steel toe-wrapped boots kicked Hisoka hard in the ribs, and he was kicked to the other side of the dark concrete room, and received a heavy punch in the face.

Judah was panting and punching Hisoka, each punch made the sound of blood spattering, he attacked Hisoka's throat, chest, abdomen, and stepped hard on his internal organs——

"Judas," said a voice from the door, "we have guests."

Judas turned his head and stared at Hisoka frantically, almost blaming him in shock.Someone come to rescue Hisoka?

"What?" Hisoka's voice was a little gurgling because he was lying on the concrete floor, bleeding, "Don't you think he loves me too?"

"We have made all the preparations in advance. The first line of defense arranged at the gate has been taken down—twelve people died. From what I can sense, there are a total of three people who came. The difference is not It's far away." On the way to the monitoring room, a man explained to Judah.

"Is there that Illumi among them?" Judas ran to the monitoring wall made up of computer screens and shouted.

"Who?"

“伊路米揍敌客，他是——”西索的情人——“他和西索住在一起。”犹大抓过遥控器，检索起图像来。

"I don't know, they're moving so fast that our cameras can't keep up."

"Fuck." Judah roared.

"Judas, it's all right. We've come prepared, we've already taken down the clown, and other things can definitely be taken care of."

Judas swallowed hard and nodded. "Good. Let's go."

________________________________________

The composition of the Leo gang is very complicated, with countless tunnels connecting their warehouses and renovated subway stations for operating their ambiguous underground business.Once Illumi, Sheba, and Geno walked into the tunnel system that the Leo gang belonged to, they had to mess it up.

Illumi swam through the shadows like a fish swimming in water, sending a pin to every obstacle that dared stand in his way.Within five seconds of entering, the entire tunnel system lost its lights.Like a grandfather's handwriting, Illumi thought.He often destroys the existing defense system like this, especially when they break in illegally like this.

Flicking through a certain skylight leaking from the skylight at the top of the tunnel, Illumi entered deeper into the tunnel system.A man stepped out of the room ahead, and he seized the opportunity to hold the stranger against the wall.

"I'm looking for Hisoka." Illumi said bluntly.

"Are you Illumi?" The man stared back with his eyes wide open.

Illumi didn't answer.

"Ha. Judas didn't expect you to come." The man seemed to be resigned to his fate. He knew that he would die.

"Where's Hisoka?"

"I think Judas was wrong."

"Where's Hisoka?" Illumi repeated.

"With Judas, of course," the man said, "however, he's probably dead by now. It depends on how violent Judas is today—" His voice stopped abruptly, and Illumi stabbed in his stomach.Throwing the man to the ground, Illumi turned and left.

He must have been not far away.

________________________________________

"It's faster than I expected," Hisoka said.Judah dragged him back onto the metal chair, shaking himself.

"Shut up, Hisoka," Judas hissed.He turned to look at the door.The entire Leo gang was caught in a war with those three, and no one could help Judas guard Hisoka.Not that Hisoka needed to be guarded, Judas was strong enough to make him powerless to escape.

Judas paced back and forth, and after a few moments he looked around the room thoughtfully.

"Need help?" Hisoka asked.

"I told you to shut the fuck up," Judah said.He swallowed, stopped, and drew a knife from his sleeve, "I'm going to kill you."

"Now?" Hisoka raised an eyebrow.

Judas hesitated.

"You spent so long just for this moment, do it well." Hisoka smiled and closed his eyes, encouraging.

Judah walked up to him, behind Hisoka, and raised his knife.

The door slammed open.Illumi emerged from the darkness and walked in.His hands were covered with blood, his hair was wildly scattered on his shoulders, and his pale skin was blurred with sweat.

His dark eyes turned to Hisoka immediately.

"Hi, Yilu." Hisoka greeted.

Judas grabbed Hisoka by the hair and lifted his head up, the blade pressed against his neck.Judah said frankly, "I didn't expect you to come."

Illumi raised a needle, a sharp edge gleaming between his fingers.

"I'm faster than Hisoka," Judas said, "how else do you think I caught him in the first place? Do you think you're capable of killing me before I kill him?"

Illumi clenched the chanting needle tightly, and the blade of the opponent pressed against Hisoka's throat.

"Do you want to gamble?" Judah already knew the answer.Illumi came for Hisoka and killed an entire army.All for Hisoka.Coming all the way, and then watching him die, this is definitely not an option for Illumi.Seeing that Illumi remained motionless, a wild and unruly smile appeared on Judas' face, "I knew it."

________________________________________

Illumi was surprised to realize that he didn't want to gamble Hisoka's life.He watched Judas' blade approaching Hisoka's throat, and knew that he really couldn't move.

Illumi is fast.He's very, very fast.Was he faster than the man with the knife on Hisoka's neck?

It was a gamble, and he didn't want to take the risk.

Illumi let go of his hand, and the chanting needle slipped out of his hand and fell into a pool of blood on the ground, with a jingle.Finally, Illumi said, "What do you want?"

"what?"

"I can give you anything you want," Illumi said, "I don't want to fight you. What do you want?"

Judas' eyes widened.He opened his mouth wide, then closed it again after a moment, and Illumi looked into the dilated pupils. "What do I want?" He raised his voice, "What do I want?" Then he bellowed, "What do I want?!"

Hisoka blinked and looked down at Judah's hand holding the knife.

"I want my brother back," he said, "I fucking want my family. I want my family!" He grew up, his voice echoing coldly through the nearly empty room. "I want to go back to my childhood. I want to turn back the past five years!"

Illumi remained unmoved.

"But do you know what I actually want most, Illumi?" Judah's eyes widened, trembling, and his eyes had lost focus, "I want Hisoka to die."

Judas wiped Hisoka's throat with a knife, and blood flowed out.Immediately, almost at the same time, a rain of needles fell on him, and he died before he fell to the ground.The knife fell to the ground with a clang, and Hisoka fell too, rolling his eyes and bleeding profusely.

Illumi froze there. "Hisso." Saying the name finally made his body move.He stepped on the blood-soaked floor, knelt beside Hisoka, turned him over, and saw that his skin had turned pale as he bled so rapidly.

Hisoka's eyes were out of focus, but he still turned to look up at him.He opened his mouth to speak, but his mouth was filled with blood, which made him cough.Illumi put her hands on the wound on his neck and found that her hands were shaking.His hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't even press Hisoka's wound shut.

Hisoka was going to die.

Illumi quickly skipped this conclusion, took out his cell phone, and called his father directly, only saying into the phone, "Dad, please." The cell phone slipped from his bloody hand and fell into a pool of blood , it is scrapped. "Hiso," Illumi kept repeating, "Hiso, Hiso." He tried again, covering his throat with trembling hands, trying to stop the bleeding.

Hisoka smiled.

"Stop laughing," Illumi said, "stop laughing, you idiot." Illumi found himself breathing heavily, his heart like a balloon in his chest.He was about to explode.His hands were still doing useless work.Sitting there, day after day, hands uselessly catching Hisoka's blood.

A broad hand appeared in Illumi's now extremely narrow field of vision, closed Hisoka's throat, and surrounded his entire wound.Illumi looked up sharply to see his father kneeling beside him.

"I can stop the bleeding," Sheba said, "but it will hurt." He looked down at Hisoka's face, which was still faintly conscious. "I'll apologize afterwards."

Illumi stepped back, and the electric light flashed in Shiba's palm, and the burned wounds closed together.The smell of burnt flesh filled his senses; the air was full of blood, and his whole body was wet.Hisoka was actually twitching; probably this was the first time Illumi had seen him feel pain.He used to think Hisoka couldn't feel pain at all.Sheba proved that it wasn't.

Shiba turned his hawk-like blue eyes to look at his son, "Are you injured?" He looked up and down, and Illumi was covered in blood.

"No—" Illumi shook his head, "No."

"We're leaving." Shiba was about to lift Hisoka when Illumiying stopped him.

"I'll take him," Illumi said.He knelt beside Hisoka and carried him on his back.Standing up cautiously, his hands were twisted behind his back to support Hisoka.

Hisoka coughed.

"I think he won't be able to walk for a few days," Sheba said.He looked at Illumi's face, and then at Hisoka, a smile appeared on the corner of the latter's mouth, "I sympathize with him."

Jeno appeared at the door, "The gang either died or ran away," he said.

Shiba nodded.A group of people walked into the tunnel and were about to go back to the ground. He said dutifully, "We have to go back in a private airship. We are covered in blood, and Hisoka has to be rescued."

"I'm sorry," Illumi said.

Shiba literally froze for a moment.Only the footsteps of a few of them echoed in the passage.Finally, he said, "No need. I understand."

Illumi looked up at him, raising an eyebrow.

Shiba glanced at him, then looked forward again. "You just called me Daddy. You haven't called me that since you were an adult."

"I have?" Illumi said weakly.He felt a breath, almost like laughter, brushing the hair behind his ear, and on his back, it was Hisoka.He finds it amusing.It is true that Illumi has never called her father since she was an adult.

________________________________________

The housekeepers arrived at their destination two hours later, accompanied by a large white van and a doctor with a frightened face.He looked like a little white rabbit surrounded by lions.

"He lost too much blood," said the doctor after examining Hisoka.He pushed his eyes and straightened his white robe, "We have to send him to the blood bank immediately. I don't know how he can stay awake."

Hisoka turned his gaze from the doctor to Illumi.

"He'll be fine," Illumi said, "just sew him up."

"My God, did you burn the wound on his neck? Oh my God, it must be very painful." The doctor looked at Hisoka, "Doesn't it hurt?"

Hisoka's eyes were obscene, but only Illumi could see it.He turned his head away, not trying to translate his gaze at all.Hisoka let out a breath, laughing inwardly.

"I'll do what I can," said the doctor. "I'll put him to sleep first. Is that all right?"

Hisoka closed his eyes as the doctor prepared the needle.The truck staggered and continued to drive towards Youkexin City at a dangerous high speed.

"It's just a sedative," the doctor explained. "I'm sure you'll be in good health when you wake up," he said.

Hisoka still couldn't move, and could only smile vaguely.He felt the prick of a needle, and then warm darkness enveloped him from head to toe.
