Chapter 106: The Devil Never Sleeps
.......
The hope that the special person will be able to use the ability again only to face the hard truth as the person's soul disappeared from within the face of the planet with the ability on Chrollo's book disappearing as well, sothing he will only find out about after getting his Nen back...
Yasuo opened his eyes no mind the weird look Paku is giving him as he just closed his eyes no moving for a few seconds after appearing here.
"Well, I'm done here so let's go have sothing to eat before heading to our next destination..."
And another portal ford leading to a different place, anticipating the forming of another portal leading to an interesting target though this one will have to wait for a bit.
lody was going on her day her own way, and just like any other in her new job, it was strange, to say the least. She was able to help a friend which she's thankful for but she knows... She knows there is no stopping what he feels inside.
The fire of revenge will always burn brightly until his objectives are done and she knows she needs to help as much as she can and she needs to be there when his objective is done as well as fulfilling her own objective.
Her objective is to find a mysterious entity called Satan, the evil being responsible for how she is today, and get rid of it if possible but she found no significant information about it and that's a problem for her.
She only got a little bit of ti to relax before she received a call informing her of the death of soone, the death of Neon Nostrade due to a heart failure, a strange death for soone so young.
And that's exactly what she thought yet she found nothing strange in the girl's body nor was there anything strange around her prior to the incident.
In fact, she made no contact with soone for the past few days since her father ordered not to allow such a thing because of the previous incident when she snuck out.
That lead lody to conclude it a Nen user's doing, the spiders to be exact. As for the reason why they'd do such a thing, well, her ability is more than enough of a reason for them to target her.
lody's mood soured a bit seeing the unfortunate incident. Another day on the job where deaths are nothing rare.
And so the day passed and the bright moon shone upon the city as people started sleeping and only at this point did the devil decides its ti.
While lody was walking ho in the middle of the night in such a city, the city ruled by mafias or forrly ruled by them as the little snakes are already spreading all over the city just waiting for their queen to declare it as her territory...
While the incident lody face with the sonata of darkness was mostly a tragic event, there was sothing good that happened with it, a gift she gained after her disfigurent.
An unfathomable Hearing which she uses this ability in many useful ways. She is able to track targets or eavesdrop on conversations from hundreds of ters away.
By listening to a person's heartbeat she can discern their emotional state, whether they are lying, and also if they are being manipulated.
She can even differentiate among hundreds of people's footsteps, enabling her to determine the number of people in a crowd whilst picking out the distinctive sound of her target's strides.
And her hearing rarely fails her if ever so she has grown dependant on it and to today just happens to be the day she will et the Devil.
One vastly different than Satan her target but one could argue much more dangerous as the harm he could bring to the world if he so wished is unrivaled.
And so the devil whispered again, "Hi..." The source of the sound was but a re ter behind her yet she heard nothing until she heard him talking and only then did she pick up the two distinct heartbeats but only one source of footsteps being Paku who followed after Yasuo through the portal.
The heartbeats she picked are quite distinct with one of them beating at about 70 bpm while the other one, the strange heartbeats with its source being the man with the silent footsteps, heartbeats that beat at around 40 bpm.
A strange number for a human being but what she doesn't know is that for Yasuo, this number is quite big as he controlled his heart to beat at such a rate for a reason.
lody remained frozen for a few seconds processing the information she's receiving, comprehending that she'd be dead if he so wished.
But he didn't as she turned around slowly looking at the strangers in from of her and surprise couldn't help but surface on her face as she looked at Paku knowing exactly who she is.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Cautiously asked lody putting her guard up.
Yasuo smiled no showing any animosity, "I'm Yasuo Zoldyck and I'd like to talk to you if you may..."
lody's expression didn't change but only she knew the surprise she's feeling inside.
'He is the one the spider's leader talked about, the one that has the scarlet eyes and Killua's brother. His footsteps are also completely silent like Killuas, an assassin... and a 3-Star hunter...'
"About what?" That made her even more cautious as she asked.
Yasuo raised his brows, "You don't have to be so cautious now, do you? I have not animosity against you, in fact, I'm here to ask you for a favor and don't worry about her, I hired her because I need her ability..." Then explained insinuating to Paku.
Frowned lody, 'He isn't lying or so his heart rate suggests but I don't know how useful it is against a Zoldyck, a family trained against such things...'
Yasuo added, "How about we change places?"
As a portal ford next to him though lody just looked at this without making any movents making the Zoldyck shake his head.
"Just why are you making this more difficult than its needs to be? If I want to, I can kill you before you can react so you should know my intentions are pure... and I can prove it to you."
And before lody can comprehend his words, she found herself in a completely different place.
What looked like an empty restaurant as she looked at the portal behind her from which the two walked from, she just looked at the mysterious Zoldyck unable to make sense of what happened.
But the sa couldn't be said for Pakunoda who couldn't hold her surprise, albeit vague she still got the gist of what he did.
His ability to create portals was already too dangerous but after seeing what he just did, it just beca a whole lot more dangerous.
She saw as he ford a portal instantly, a portal which actually started moving at an incredible speed looking as if it teleported and with that, lody disappeared... disappeared once the portal enveloped her appearing from the destination portal instantly.
"Please have a seat." Said Yasuo and only now did she accept the offer not showing any further caution, instead, she took a seat and asked.
"What could soone like you want from soone like ? I believe I don't have anything that could interest you, right?"
Yasuo took a seat as well and smiled hearing that, "That's where you're wrong, you have sothing that interests
quite a lot... Your mories." lody frowned no understanding what he ant.
So he added explaining, "Not long ago, I received a piece of information about you... about how you beca like this, your disfigurent I an so I did so research and as you might know, I'm a research hunter and I happened to be quite interested in the incident you faced."
Only now did lody nodded in understanding knowing that soone with as much influence as him won't find it hard to find almost everything about her especially since she has been investigating anything she can about the incident and the thing responsible for her current state so so like him is bound to be able to trace the footprints to her.
"What is it that you exactly want to do with the information?"
"I just want to, I'm just curious you could say and I might try to hunt whatever it is that's responsible since that sounds interesting..." Simply answer the Zoldyck though only he knows whether that's truly what he wants or not.
lody seed thoughtful for a while before she asked, "Ok, what do you want to know...
