Luke looked at the massive machine and subconsciously rubbed his chin.
"Where can I get electricity?"
"Without electricity, this machine won't work."
Outside, finding electricity was easy; nearly every small hotel had it.
But in Meteor City, electricity is a scarce resource, unavailable to ordinary people.
At least, Luke couldn't find any in Nobunaga's room.
"There's electricity in Meteor City. I think it's the church, right?"
"Chrollo seems to be there, showing the cartoon Mighty Sweepin' Power Cleaners for the children of Meteor City."
"If it can show cartoons, there must be a projector. And to run a projector, there must be electricity..."
Good, the logic was clear.
If he needed electricity, the church was the perfect place.
And if Luke guessed correctly, Chrollo was about to show a cartoon to the children in Meteor City.
Luke was deeply impressed by this episode in the original timeline.
It was during this screening that many problems arose.
But Chrollo resolved them flawlessly in front of all the children, showing for the first time his outstanding charisma.
It also deeply impressed Uvogin, Machi, Nobunaga, Feitan, and Phinks.
As a result, Uvogin was convinced and made peace with Chrollo.
It also made Feitan and Phinks willing to follow Chrollo.
Not to mention Franklin, Shalnark, and Pakunoda, who were already around Chrollo.
That was the early shadow of the Phantom Troupe.
This also included Sheila before the incident, and… Sarasa.
Luke's eyelids twitched slightly at the thought of Sarasa. Even if he hadn't reached the outer perimeter during this period, he had learned from conversations with Nobunaga, Phinks, and the others that quite a few children had been disappearing recently.
Some lawless individuals had already extended their reach into Meteor City.
"I don't think there's much time left before the screening starts..."
"At that time, I'll have a perfect reason to enter the church openly."
Well, it's not impossible to sneak into the church now.
With the help of Phinks and Uvogin, it could be done.
But this power booster is incredibly large and conspicuous.
If he found electricity in the church and pulled it out, not to mention the risk of being seen, if the electricity consumption was much higher than normal, it would definitely attract Father Lisoresl's attention.
But during the screening, with the projector running, using more electricity wouldn't stand out.
And if he really thought about sneaking in, Luke felt the church wasn't so simple.
The fact that the church could stand so grand in Meteor City was proof enough.
And after discovering Chrollo's talent, Father Lisoresl had directly gone to the elders and said: "His creative ideas often amaze me. I hope to summon him to the elders' meeting to hear his ideas."
This was Father Lisores's recommendation to the elders of Meteor City.
And crucially, Father Lisores could directly communicate with the elders of Meteor City face to face.
This alone was something few in Meteor City could achieve. Not to mention, after hearing Father Lisores's recommendation, the elders not only didn't take it lightly, but actually considered it seriously.
This is truly remarkable.
Luke also knew that Father Lisores wasn't just familiar with the elders of Meteor City.
He also knew and interacted with certain mysterious figures.
For example...
Miss Renko, the embalmer of Kirimori Valley.
After Sarasa's death, it was Father Lisores who contacted this mysterious woman, who then collected Sarasa's body.
She stitched Sarasa's mutilated remains back together.
This method impressed Machi so much that she desperately sought out Renko.
After earning Renko's admiration, she traveled to Kirimori Valley to learn the art of suturing from Renko.
Well, perhaps it was because of Ms. Renka's influence.
Not only did she acquire a masterful suturing technique, but she also developed a relentless drive for money.
When Ms. Renka first appeared, many speculated she was Killua's mother, Kikyo.
But after numerous comparisons, this possibility was ruled out.
This person is a mysterious embalmer who lives in the Kirimori Valley near Meteor City.
And Father Lisores from the church was able to connect with such a person, asking Ms. Renka to collect Sarasa's body.
Luke still felt that the church was too complex, beyond his reach for the time being.
Since he would be able to get inside during the screening anyway, it was better not to startle the snake prematurely.
Having made up his mind, Luke slowly closed his eyes and began to train.
Aside from relying on his inventions, his own training couldn't be neglected.
But training on his own was admittedly tough.
He still needed proper guidance.
