Saiki Kusuo walked around, and after he couldn't feel anyone watching him nearby, he returned to Antoniba's small hotel.
He told Milluki and the others to have fun on their own, and Milluki really didn't come.
Saiki Kusuo used his clairvoyance to look around and saw that Hatsu and the others had already started special Nen training with Alluka in the wild.
Why do the kids all love living in the wild?
In the hotel, Chrollo was taking a nap. But his years of vigilance made him open his eyes the moment Saiki Kusuo entered the door.
He asked, "Are you still practicing Ren?"
[Playing it by ear.]
"If you can't find it, use Nen to write down all the scenes and give them to the Phantom Troupe."
[I've already discussed the safety of that, it won't work.]
Saiki Kusuo sat down on a stool next to him and said: [I have a pretty special method. You have a lot of experience with Nen users, right?]
"Yeah."
[What if I have you come with me?]
"You mean you'll add illusion magic to me?" [Knock out a member of the organization and have me pretend to be them?]
Chrollo: Doing something bad!
[No, don't hurt people so easily, okay?]
[And I can't do it. I can give you an illusion magic set, but your movements will be stiff, and you can only fool people for a moment. In front of so many Nen users, your movements will give you away.]
Nen users are smart people. Although the Nen users you need to get through are weaker than people like Chrollo, they still have strength if they have Nen and get into the game, so it's hard to fool them.
Just imagine a whole room full of bad kids like Allen who are sharp.
His own body would be much better, but using it on others wouldn't work with just illusion magic.
"Then what are you thinking?"
[I have an ability...]
Saiki Kusuo introduced the ability to leave his body.
Not only himself, but Saiki Kusuo's soul body can grab other people's souls and pull them out of their bodies, but ordinary people can only last for 24 hours, and it will be difficult to return to their original bodies if it lasts too long.
I don't know if Nen users will have stronger endurance.
[Want to give it a try... what's wrong?]
For some reason, Chrollo was rarely stunned after Saiki Kusuo finished introducing the ability.
He seemed to care a lot about the existence of souls. Thousands of thoughts finally gathered into this—sure enough, souls exist.
"Sorry, a kind of belief... no, it's just the feeling of having something you believed in proven, it's a bit strange," Chrollo said to himself, and quickly came back to his senses and said, "I want to try it."
Oh.
Then Chrollo remembered to ask: "After my soul leaves my body, whose body will it enter?"
Good question, can you readers guess?
There are two humans in the room, 1. Saiki Kusuo, 2...
Okay, don't have too many fantasies.
——The chinchilla's.
Using telepathy to notify Milluki to send the card, Saiki Kusuo waited for Alluka.
"Hey—brother!"
Alluka waved her hand downstairs to call them. Obviously, Alluka was very happy. [With Milluki and Kurt's help, I'll definitely be able to Ren to Nen quickly!]
So that's the reason.
[Alluka, have you thought about what you're going to use Nen for?]
"Yeah! I actually discussed it with my brothers a few days ago. I still have to keep it a secret from you now, brother." Alluka put her hands behind her back, looking proud with her little head raised.
Alluka's thoughts: [I want a Nen that can let Nanika come out and move around, like a voodoo doll.]
Not surprising at all.
"BOOK!" Alluka summoned the book.
There's only one card in his designated card frame.
"GAIN!"
Alluka used the precious designated card decisively. A small chinchilla fell down and was held by Chrollo.
"Is this okay?"
[Yeah, go play. Call me anytime if anything happens.]
Alluka's eyes lit up, and she nodded heavily: "Yeah! I know you'll always be by my side! Magnet, Milluki Zoldyck!"
Saiki Kusuo watched the kids fly away with his clairvoyance. After coming back to his senses, he saw Chrollo staring at the small chameleon cat.
The chameleon cat is not a chameleon, but it has the characteristic of changing shape. It is not a cat, it is a chinchilla.
In Saiki Kusuo's eyes, it is a miniature skeleton. What is special is that the chameleon cat has many small bones, which seem to be made for flexible transformation.
If you listen carefully to telepathy, you can even hear the thoughts of animals.
Chinchilla: [Why is this human staring at me? Stare back! Why doesn't he even blink? Oh no, I can't beat him, darn it! I lost! This human can't even blink, so stupid, do I really have to live with this kind of person?]
This chinchilla is so noisy.
"Do I really have to swap souls with something like this? It looks silly."
You've made a new friend with the same bad taste, congratulations.
"Is it okay?" Chrollo gathered his palms and teased the chinchilla, thinking about the size of this chinchilla, and the soul that he needed to put into the chinchilla's body.
No matter how you think about it, it's a bit悬.
Saiki Kusuo heard his thoughts.
[There's no difference, right? Between human and animal souls. I've also seen things like people being hit by cars, their souls leaving their bodies and flying into the bodies of newly deceased cats and being resurrected.]
[Souls are like clay, they're all about the same size when you pinch them into light balls. No matter how noble humans think they are, it's actually just a matter of wind and water. No matter how successful they are, they'll equally become protozoa in the next life.]
"...Is that how it works?" Chrollo exclaimed, thinking about many past events in his mind.
[No, I made it up.]
Chrollo: ...How can he even joke around?
"That's also very impressive, Saiki. Sometimes I really wonder what kind of existence you are, could you be..." [A god? For a moment, I even wanted to guess that about him.]
[Some people have called me that, but I'm not.]
[All the feeling and quality of the souls are about the same, so I just guessed.]
[I can see souls, but only when my own soul leaves my body. I can't see them at other times, and I don't know if souls are reincarnated.]
Chrollo: That's already amazing, letting your own soul leave your body is already outrageous.
Chrollo wiped his sweat. He had mixed around to this age, and his beliefs, his understanding of the world, and his worldview were all fixed. Just now, his understanding of souls almost had a new subversive reversal.
Is the uniqueness of human souls important to him? It's important, right? If the soul is likely to be reincarnated and parasitize in any animal the moment a person dies, then the revenge, gratitude, and condolences of people to their companions will only be the comfort of the living to themselves.
Some of the values he treasured would be emptied a lot.
Would they?
"Saiki, aren't you curious? About the world of souls?" Chrollo played with the chinchilla in his hand, while also observing the chinchilla's movements. "When your own soul leaves your body and sees other souls... If it were me, I would definitely stay for a while and learn about the afterlife."
[When did I say I haven't learned about it?]
Saiki Kusuo said faintly about the secrets of the world he had seen: [Souls live much easier than people. They have no goals, no persistence, and forget all their memories from their lives. They will sit anywhere and do the stupid things they like.]
"Stupid things?"
[Looking at flowers, looking at grass, lying on the ground looking at the sky all day, chasing dandelions, or even staring at dandelions as they grow up.]
"That sounds pretty good."
There are also souls that show their butts and dance in front of people, trying to attract people's attention. Well, it's better not to let other people know about this kind of thing.
One psychological shadow is enough.
"Then, when will the soul-swapping ceremony be held? I'm ready."
Saiki Kusuo nodded, sat down in his seat, leaned on the table and began to sleep.
Chrollo:?
Then, Chrollo suddenly felt his body sink, followed by complete lightness.
"Boom!"
Chrollo's body fell to the ground, with his limbs pointing in different directions, like a disassembled puppet.
——Chrollo died!!
Chrollo looked down at himself like this, and then reached out to touch his soul body.
Ah, the soul is alive.
Putting an elephant in the refrigerator takes three steps.
Putting a giraffe in the refrigerator takes four steps.
Souls are about the same principle.
Grab the human's soul and pull it out, put it aside, grab the chinchilla's soul and pull it out, and put the human's soul into the chinchilla's body.
A philosophical chinchilla was born.
The gray-white chinchilla held its paws in front of its chest, seemingly adapting to its new body. It took two steps, and waved its tail for a moment. Soon it ran a circle on the table on all fours.
[Hello, big mouse, how do you feel?]
"Goo, goo? Goo goo!" [It's okay. Crap, I can't talk!]
[It's okay, I can understand you completely.]
"Goo goo." [I almost forgot you can hear my thoughts.]
[According to the settings, you should be able to transform into any animal.]
"Squeak." [But it still needs to look like a pet to prove that I am a designated card.]
[Do you want to use this?]
"Squeak, squeak, squeak." [Of course, there is not much I can use now. Make the most of it. But, if I can change my appearance...]
Don't really learn how to squeak like a mouse.
Chrollo Chinchilla looked at his body, which was a bit fat and clumsy. He began to imagine himself as other animals. He thought of a cat, a black long-haired cat with a white collar. Before he could successfully transform, he was interrupted by Saiki Kusuo.
[Wait, you can't turn into that.]
Chrollo Chinchilla tilted his head. Obviously, after several short Ren practices, he no longer wanted to use simple animal language to express anything.
[You should know what kind of cats are outside your base, right? You were just thinking about that cat boss...]
"Huh?" Chrollo made this sound with the chinchilla's body. As long as the sound was light enough, and he used his nose to make the sound, it still had the chinchilla's childish voice.
[...No, it's nothing, you can change however you want.]
Chrollo refocused his attention again. After Saiki Kusuo's interruption just now, although he didn't know the reason, he still changed his appearance.
Puppy.
Still a puppy with a white fur collar. I don't know if you have ever seen a dog with thicker fur on its chest. Chrollo turned into that kind of mini puppy, with white fur around its neck.
How much does he like the fur collar of that coat?
Chrollo: "Woof!"
Chrollo: [Wow.]
[Don't be so surprised by the sound you made yourself.]
"Woof woof!" [I thought it was just illusion magic. I didn't expect that even the body structure would turn into the animal I imagined. This is a rare opportunity, if I don't turn into some rare fantasy beast...]
[Have you ever thought that this chameleon cat is a very rare species itself?]
"Woof." [I must change. I still remember the time I accidentally encountered a winged eagle in a plateau, and a beast I accidentally saw in the depths of the jungle...]
It seems there is no stopping him.
It takes a little time for the chameleon cat to transform. Maybe because of its small size, it takes only 5~10 minutes to change once.
In some ways, it is better than Saiki Kusuo's two hours.
Tch.
Chrollo started playing, and Saiki Kusuo ignored him and walked to the side.
Clairvoyance!
Let's see how the brothers are training.
["Hahaha...I am the evil scissor demon!"]
Scissor demon? ...!! Saiki Kusuo remembered this character. In the manga, Bisuke used it as a training target for Killua and Gon. They took turns fighting against them, letting them improve rapidly!
Now, have Alluka and the others encountered it? Will there be danger? Killua and Gon's talents are greater than the other three children, but even Killua and Gon were almost injured when they first faced the scissor demon!
However, let's take a closer look.
["The evil scissor demon! Today I will destroy you in the name of the moon!"]. This is Alluka.
["I, I am also, a paper spirit, please listen to my request..."]. This is Kurt.
["Wait, it is supposed to be Alluka using her abilities, not you! Kurt!"]. This is Milluki, who is playing the scissor demon.
So they are playing cosplay, these guys.
You scared me, brother, really.
Saiki Kusuo had black lines and he opened his mouth and took back his clairvoyance. When he turned around.
"Boom!!"
The chair was blown up.
Superpower did it.
Even the corner of the table was blown away. Under the edge of the square table, a furry spider leg was propping up the edge of the table and climbing down. According to its instinct, it shrunk its body into a black ball.
Saiki Kusuo reacted after the explosion. The huge hairy spider he had just seen was transformed by Chrollo.
That's too scary, you bastard.
The furry spider leg moved, as if a human was waving hello. [Hi... Did you lose control again? Why? Is there an earthquake here? I can't feel it.]
Losing control = seasickness = earthquake. That's its guess.
Chrollo completely couldn't understand why Saiki Kusuo suddenly blew up the stool.
Saiki Kusuo didn't do it? How is that possible! Who else but him could cause supernatural phenomena in this environment!
Saiki Kusuo, who could hear thoughts: [You trust me so much, I'm so embarrassed.]
Saiki Kusuo comforted his little heart. It was really scary just now. When he turned his head and reached out, he didn't see anything bright, but only saw a furry, dark "dark creature" on the wooden table.
Although he had the passive ability of seeing through things, he still saw the surface first when he saw the creature.
