[Izzy] Career

The gravel creaked slightly underfoot.The gurgling stream, the fallen leaves are floating on it, swirling and disappearing into the whirlpool.The silver moonlight casts dappled streaks of light among the shadows of the trees.

All sounds are complete.

Qi Ya walked alone in Kukulu Mountain.

After returning home for more than a month, his mood gradually became gloomy.There is still some time before the official succession, Qi Ya wants to call Xiaojie more than once to overturn the previous decision, he really wants to say.I'm quitting, I'm still the happiest when I'm with you...

Too capricious.

Qiya thought to himself.

He kicked a stone into the water and stared blankly at the dark surface.

There is movement behind me.Qiya turned his head vigilantly. With his excellent eyesight acquired through hard training, he saw a purple figure walking towards him in the dim forest. Red shimmer.The wind blew the skirt, and the colorful purple danced among the leaves, like a charming butterfly.

"Curt?"

Qi Ya frowned, and asked curiously.

Curt didn't make a sound, and Qi Ya watched his young brother slowly walk past him, with a solemn expression on his childish pale face, and his purple pupils gleamed dimly in the dark night.Holding a black mass in his hand, he went to the stream and knelt down.

"Kurt, what are you doing?" Qiya said in surprise.

"I'm burying elder brother..." the figure kneeling by the water whispered.

"Brother?" Qi Ya whispered. "What happened to Illumi? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Curt didn't turn around, his voice came softly mixed with the cold flow of the stream. "TA is very sad, so sad that she is dying..."

Qi Ya's eyes widened, he stepped forward and grabbed Curt's shoulder. "What the hell are you talking about?"

Curt stood up abruptly, and stuffed the sticky thing into Qiya's hand. "Brother... I forgot, you should be the one to bury him, hurry up... If you don't hurry up, his soul won't come back..."

"Hurry up, brother..."

Curt raised his head, the silvery moonlight reflected his pale face, his beautiful purple pupils shone with an inexplicably frantic light, and there was a layer of blush fine beads of sweat on his cheeks.

"What's wrong with you?!" Qi Ya instinctively felt the strangeness of the situation, he wanted to hold Curt back, but the figure dodged backwards and disappeared into the depths of the forest like a ghost.

Qi Ya stood by the water and looked at the things in his hands by the moonlight.Ah, it's blood... The wet black fur stuck to the palm of his hand, as if he could feel the rising mist of blood.

my cat!Qi Ya's heart suddenly tightened.The black cat's body lay quietly in his hands, blood gurgling down the fingertips onto the dark water.

That's warm liquid.

tick...

Disappeared in the vortex in an instant.

Illumi concentrated on driving the car.

The phone rang.He picked up the phone with his earphones on.

"Mr. Illumi?" Sky Group called.

"Please speak." Illumi said flatly.

"Boss watched today's trailer," Shan Yan's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. "He is very satisfied. I have been ordered to call you to express his appreciation and respect."

"Oh." Illumi said. "I see. Is there anything else?"

"No more." The voice on the phone continued like an answering machine. "On June 6th, the boss will invite many VIPs to the venue. We will prepare VIP seats for your family and other people you want to invite. Please call me back after confirming how much you need. I will make arrangements."

Illumi was silent for a while. "Let the chairman answer the phone."

Three seconds later, a friendly voice came. "Mr. Illumi, what can I do for you?"

"How do you know that the Beating Enemy family will be there?" Illumi said.

"Ah..." The other end of the phone laughed, "I don't know who you will invite, and whether to invite - it all depends on your own intentions. I just express my respect as a partner - after all, we will be close in the future You are an ally, Mr. Illumi. You are the second largest shareholder of Sky Arena, from now on, you may surpass me to become the largest shareholder one day, and you deserve the highest level of treatment."

"Okay, I understand." Illumi said. "I'll get back to you later."

He had just hung up the phone when another call came in.Illumi glanced at it, it was Jeno.

"Illumi," said the old man.

"Hello, Grandpa," Illumi replied.

"I saw that ad."

"Oh."

"I don't think that's your style."

"is it?"

The killer stared at Kukulu Mountain, which was getting closer and closer ahead, and the wind outside the car window whipped up his black hair, flying violently in front of his eyes.

"We all think so," Geno said.

"I'll be home in a minute," Illumi said. "Please call a family meeting." He paused and added. "Please ask Chi Ya to call a family meeting."

"...we're waiting for you."

Illumi stopped the car.

The wind blows through the mountains.The air here, Illumi took a deep breath, mixed with the freshness of nature, the fragrance of soil, and a lingering smell of blood and something rotten.This is the strange smell of the Beating Family. Illumi sniffed greedily, his lungs revived, as if he smelled the most precious wine in the world.

Go outside the door of the trial.

He raised his hand, the cold touch between the palm and the metal was nostalgic, and he unconsciously stroked the weathered patterns and marks on the iron door.He even forgot, when was the first time he opened this door?Opened thousands of times.He stood at the door for a long time, scrutinizing the arc of his palm and the door repeatedly, as if he couldn't bear the end of this movement.

With a slight force, Illumi silently pushed open the door of the trial.

"You are back, young master."

Illumi nodded expressionlessly, and quickly walked up the mountain.

Nothing has changed.

Everything seems to have changed again.

The path was a bit damaged by the car.

The spring on the far right of the fountain has been repaired.

A large patch of paint was missing from the roof of the housekeeper's room.

The pillars of the villa seemed to have just been scrubbed.

Illumi thought as he walked.

The sound of footsteps rubbing against the ground makes Kukulu Mountain seem extraordinarily peaceful today.He kept scanning the scenes that he was all too familiar with.It all seemed like the beauty of heaven.He can't get enough of it.

There is a black skirt blowing in the wind at the entrance of the villa.It's Curt.Illumi walked up to him, and Kurt's purple pupils stared blankly at him.

"Are you waiting for me?" Illumi said, as if he had just left the house this morning.

"They're waiting for you." Curt turned around suddenly and walked upstairs.

Illumi walked up the steps step by step.

The light gradually dimmed.

"Brother..." Kurt said.

"Huh?" Illumi responded.

"I really want to kill you..."

Illumi looked at the figure in kimono in front of him in surprise.Kurt turned his face away. "I'm kidding you, bro..."

Illumi didn't speak.The door to the conference room at the end of the dark corridor opened.The beating enemy family turned their faces together and looked at him.

"I'm late." The black-haired killer walked into the conference room and explained indifferently. "I drove here by myself."

He glanced around, and everyone was there except Alluka.He noticed that Qi Ya was rubbing his hands tightly and not looking at him.Mickey lowered his head.Curt was still staring straight ahead.The atmosphere is a little stiff.

"Sit down, Illumi." Sheba said.

"Thank you." Illumi went to Qiya and sat down.

"Qi Ya, you are in charge." Sheba said.

Illumi leaned back on the seat, silently looking at the silver-haired figure beside him.

Qi Ya raised his head and glanced at Illumi quickly. "Brother, you bought the Sky Arena?"

"Yeah." Illumi nodded. "Now only 40.00% of the shares. It may be 100% in the future."

Shiba and Kiju exchanged quick glances.

Qi Ya gritted his teeth and continued. "In what name did you buy it?"

The black-haired killer said expressionlessly. "Illumi - Beat the Enemy."

"You will fight with Hisoka? Live TV?" Qi Ya said.He finally raised his eyes and looked directly into those dark, dull pupils. Illumi's eyes did not change at all, and he gave affirmative expression.

"Brother, why are you doing this?" Qi Ya said. "It's not like you at all."

"Oh?" Illumi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, he took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, but he didn't light it.

He stared at the dust on the ceiling in a daze for a moment.

"I think we should figure out one thing first," Illumi said calmly. "Am I sitting here today as a member of the Dadike family, or as the vice president of Sky?"

"Illumi!" Shiba interrupted him sullenly.

"I'm sorry, Dad." Illumi stood up, "I'm planning to go out and do something by myself, I'm with you and Qiya." He glanced at Qiya, "I'm telling you all Yes. You didn't object, so I did."

Qi Ya looked down at the table without saying a word.

"Illumi, we just didn't expect it," Kikyo picked up the fan and shook it lightly, "You surprised us."

"Really?" There was no wave on the black-haired killer's face.

"As long as it doesn't use the name of beating the enemy, is there any problem?" He walked to the window and looked at the verdant forest in the mountains, the familiar forest and mountain wind.Illumi almost gasped. "Actually I haven't signed it yet, because I thought you would object," said the killer. "The family does not have a high-profile tradition, I know it very well. This is my own business, and I don't intend to involve the family. Therefore, I think this matter is relatively easy to solve, as long as it does not appear in the name of beating the enemy, it will be fine. gone."

"I can give up the last name." There was no emotion in the killer's voice. "foreign."

"Brother!" Qi Ya suddenly stood up.He stared at a certain point, as if it gave him some kind of power.He glanced at Illumi and whispered. "Are you... are you trying to make me feel guilty for the rest of my life?"

"Crazy Tooth!" Keejo yelled.

"Let him talk." Shiba said.

Qi Ya also stood up, facing the elder brother who had terrified him for a long time and alienated him even longer, with a safe distance of two meters apart. "Brother, I don't want to rob you." Qi Ya said. "I can give it to you anytime you want," he said aloud. "I really don't care."

Illumi's hollow black eyes turned to him. "Do you think I want to beat up the enemy family?"

Qi Ya didn't speak.

"If I really want to," Illumi said nonchalantly. "Do you think you're alive today?"

Qiya remained silent.

"Daddy," Illumi continued. "I have my plan, please let me do it. Of course, if you order me to stop, I will always be your son."

"Illumi," Sheba said, "we're worried about you."

"Do you know who the boss of Sky Group is?" Jeno said suddenly.

Illumi shook his head.

"But I can roughly guess."

The hall was silent.

"We are killers," Geno said. "It's an assassination expert. The enemy is clear and the enemy is dark. We are an absolute authority in this area, but it does not mean that we are also experts in other areas."

"I understand what you mean," Illumi said.

"Politicians are hard to deal with," Geno said. "They kill without blood."

"Grandpa..." The black-haired killer was silent for a few seconds before saying, "I think I can survive."

"Illumi," Geno said. "You are the best killer, you never miss."

"This time I was mentally prepared to fail," Illumi said. "No one lives forever, Grandpa."

"Brother, you are really stubborn." Miki said suddenly without saying a word. "I expected that no one would be able to convince you."

"I'm very grateful..." Illumi said. "You can understand me."

The wind in the valley kept blowing.

The cloud dissipated.

The sky is clean.

Illumi walked down the mountain road.The leaves swayed as before.

Meow--

A silver kitten crawled out of the woods, its head raised, its innocent blue eyes fixed on the black-haired killer.

Illumi whistled.The silver kitten ran over and jumped into his arms.

Illumi fondled its head lovingly.

Meow……

This is his fifth birthday present to Qi Ya.One black and one silver.Which one is black?Illumi looked around, but there was no sign of the black cat.

He stroked the kitten's head lightly, the soft cat's hair slid between his fingers, tickling, which melted his naturally cold heart of stone.Every time he came home from a business trip, he would go to this forest to look for this kitten. He sat under a secluded tree with it in his arms, and the bright sunlight cast on the silver cat's fur, intertwined with his black hair. , very warm.

The shadow of death seemed to be far away from him for a short time. Those heavily armed iron walls and aggressive weapons that could not be dismantled even in front of his family always disappeared invisible at this time.

i want to hug you.

He was lying on the grass, the kitten curled up on his chest, and the exhaustion from killing was blown away by the wind.

Sometimes he even felt that he had survived so far because of its life and joy.

That is his secret.his weakness.So he hid this secret deeply in Kukulu Mountain.He hid so deep that he was sure no one else would be able to dig and know.

Illumi let go of the kitten.It ran to the depths of the forest and disappeared after a while.There is still that soft luster between the fingers.

He suddenly remembered many fragmentary past events, too many, which made him a little dizzy.About his father when he was young, about his mother when Mickey was just born, about his grandfather's first training class, about Kurt, about Alluka, about phoenix trees, about every plant and tree in Kukulu Mountain, and he knew them well all stories.

He thought of Qi Ya.

But subconsciously he silenced the name in his heart.Only that too vivid image remained, lingering in my mind from time to time.

The sunlight lengthened the killer's shadow.

He stubbornly didn't let anyone see him off, Illumi didn't like that kind of sad scene.That would make him feel like he might never come back.In fact he could come back anytime.

Their expressions made him feel as if he had left something very important behind.

He wondered if he had really given up on something.

He wondered if he had ever really owned something.

Except for those sophisticated killing techniques.

Illumi laughed at himself inwardly.

The abandoned surname is just a symbol, and the blood flowing in the blood vessels is the imprint that cannot be changed.

Death walked out the door alone.He didn't look back, only those who never return will be reluctant to part, and the first and the end of his life, the cradle and the grave, will be here.

6 month 16 day.

Has come roaring.

Illumi—now Jitaragu, the monstrous, spiky, nail-studded creature.

The top floor of the Sky Arena.The closest place on earth to heaven.This is the modern Tower of Babel.

The crowd gathers.There was a lot of noise.

Jita Lagu walked towards the ring, and the crowd made way for a passage.The center of the stage is brightly lit.

For Jita Lagu, this is a brand new experience. The god of death, who is used to hiding in the dark, finally came to the fore.He walked in silence, quickly scanning the audience.

The VIP seats reserved for the Dike Family were empty.

Shadows and light can be seen in the box next to it.The chairman has arrived.

Jita Lagu stepped onto the ring, but Hisoka hadn't arrived in the last minute.

He waited patiently, the clown's habit was to surprise, he knew he would come, in some unpredictable way.

The last ten seconds.

Jita Lagu frowned.Suddenly, someone rushed towards the ring, and the crowd dispersed like an ebbing tide.The man's face was covered with blood, blood was dripping from his eye sockets, and he yelled. "Run away!"

He ran onto the ring amidst everyone's astonished eyes.

Then his body exploded.A strange red heart pattern rose from the blood mist.

Hisoka? !

The huge explosion made Jita Lagu almost miss some kind of subtle sound, it is getting closer, what is that?It was as if something important had been overlooked by him.

Red heart shattered into countless pieces.

Last second.

Jita Lagu's cell phone rang.

He only had time to hear the final warning. The huge explosion and the ground shaking caused the momentary loss of balance and the phone was thrown a few meters away.

earthquake?

Jitaragu glanced out the window, a giant airship was rushing towards them.

The crowd scattered and fled, but had nowhere to go.

Crying and shouting instantly shook the sky.

Caught off guard, Illumi also fell into the collapsed boulder.The sharp lightning rod pierced through the roof and fell towards him rapidly.

Illumi jumped up and passed through the lightning rod. He picked up a steel bar, propped it up on the ground that was about to lose its final balance, smashed through the glass and jumped into the air.

The sky is blue.

Birds fly back and forth among the clouds.

Sunlight pours down from the zenith.

The ground seemed out of reach.

Illumi heard the roar of the Sky Arena collapsing from mid-air, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the magnificent and magnificent modern miracle crashing to the ground with broken walls.

In the rapid fall, he threw countless nails at the flying birds in groups in the air, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, enough, the flying birds seemed to hear the call of the god of death, screaming and forming a ball towards him .It's now!Illumi turned over and jumped towards the outer wall of the tilting sky arena with the help of the flock of birds under his control.

boom--

The giant tower finally hit the ground.

Illumi jumped down from the window on the second floor.The scorching sun shot fiercely from behind, as hot as a thousand arrows piercing the heart.

The killer stood among the ruins, looking around blankly.

The gust of wind swooping in mid-air violently struck his black hair and the corners of his clothes.Like tearing everything apart.The cries, the sound of sex, and the dust all over the sky intertwined to create a tragic scene of hell on earth.

Illumi knelt down and picked up a handful of dust.

The dust seemed to be still stained with blood, and the money he paid for buying the shares of the sky, which was exchanged for countless lives, was crushed on the gravel and looked at him mockingly.Illumi clenched his fists.As if in a blink of an eye, it disappeared, and the wealth he earned through his hard-working career was instantly reduced to ashes before his eyes.

Illumi once felt that he was not a money lover.Now he's sure he was wrong.

The wind tore at the killer's black hair.Dusty.

I think I can survive.

From the ruins came the weak voice of a woman. Half of her body was crushed by the boulder, and her ashes-like lips were constantly shaking, as if she was pleading or praying to the killer.

Illumi kicked a stone.Hit her right on the head and she died.

"Is this the kindness of Death God?"

Pop, pop, pop.

"fantastic."

Illumi turned around.

"I'm talking about Mr. Illumi's stunt of flying down just now." The killer recognized the voice as the chairman of the Sky Group, and he was walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"You're not dead?" Illumi raised his eyebrows.

"I'm a hunter too." The chairman pulled off his mask and reached out to the killer. "Hunter Association Pariston, this is not the first time we have met."
