CHAPTER 379 Collaboration
Mizaistom is listening to an account of the incident
Survivor She heard the knock and approached the entrance. As soon as she opened the door I heard a thud. I tried calling out to her but she didn't respond, so I panicked and exited the toilet, and... the man was standing there.
Luini Step aside.
Survivor And I did.
The survivor found the roommate's fallen body, covered in blood
Luini If you make a noise I'll kill you.
Survivor I couldn't speak or move even if I had wanted to... All I could do was concentrate on following the man's order so as to save my own skin.
Luini Hmm, what to do... I had wanted to stop at exactly 20 people. That's why I chose this single passenger room... Dammit.
Survivor (Please... Please! Please!! Please!!!)
Survivor I prayed silently in my mind because if I so much as made a squeak he would have killed me.
Luini Eh, wait... 1, 2, 3, ...10... 20? Whoagh, it's 21 isn't it!? That's right, the number of people is one off the level! Shit, this doesn't feel good. Now which number should I match!? Shit...!
Survivor I had no idea what he was saying.
Luini Dammit this is so unpleasant...! Oh, well, might as well...
Survivor And just as when I thought I was gonna be killed, I heard a scream outside, and the sound of a large number of people gathering. Footsteps trampling in the corridor, someone banging the door, a scream... the sound of someone calling out... It was very noisy outside the room. Then the man... locked himself inside the toilet.
Mizaistom Locked himself inside...?
Survivor Yes... And since I stayed here until the national military personnel pried the door open, the man must have escaped from there.
Mizaistom But the drainpipes of the toilet can't let even a rat through, let alone a human being...
Survivor That's what the military told me as well. But the man hadn't come out of the toilet and the military had also confirmed that the door had been locked. So please, catch the culprit and ask him yourself.
Mizaistom (If her account is to be believed, the culprit should be a Nen user, but... something doesn't make sense. Killing her shouldn't have taken more than an instant... Why would he do something so irrational as leaving a witness? Did he panic because of the commotion outside...? No, that doesn't sound like the profile of someone who would murder 20 people in mere moments. The words "level" and "number of people," and then "20" "21" and "one off"... These are the key to solving the mystery...!!)
Mizaistom By the way... what is your relation with the victim?
Survivor She had happened to sit next to me in the cafeteria, and we hit it off. Too bad... I didn't have the chance to lend an ear to her personal affairs...!
Mizaistom ...Please get some rest in your room for now. I will probably be coming again a couple more times.
The survivor leaves the crime scene, but her real identity is Cashew (Lv. 1) of the Heil-Ly Family
Cue flashback
Cashew ...And that is how I will mix lies with truths. This way I can also give them a hint for the reason why I wasn't killed.
Luini Well done. Just remember to testify properly about my scar.
Cashew Seriously? You're okay with that?
Luini With that, I will confirm the sleuthing skills of the military and the Hunter Association. I want to know how long it will take them between determining the culprit's identity and finding me.
Cashew Are you really sure about this? If you get caught it's definitely the death sentence for you.
Luini I won't get caught, and I'll just escape if I do. The Boss told us too, right? "Your ability will answer you if you wish hard enough." I can feel it... I have just been granted my ability (gift). And this power... will bring me to the place that I want!!
Cashew (And with those words, Luini disappeared from the toilet. A power to move through space, huh. Not that I want such ability. What fun is there in being able to get things done in a rush like that? I will take it slow... both my leveling up and my wishing for my ability (gift). I have successfully established contact with the investigator... Next I will infiltrate deeper.)
Luini (A room with one door... and impassable walls. That is the requirement to activate my ability...!! Once I activated it, I can move to a different place from the walls or floor of that room!! I can return to the original room anytime, anywhere... but! If the door to the original room is opened and thus it stops being a locked room, my ability will be reset, and I can no longer use my ability in said room. My destination is also limited to places I have visited before. It seems that I can even move in and out of the ship, but I wouldn't test it with the risk of my ability being reset...)
Luini (For now, let's enjoy my collaboration with the Spiders...)
The three has returned after finding their weapons
Feitan All of them are gone.
Nobunaga Nope.
Phinks One person escaped.
A trail of blood continues along the passageway
Phinks I don't like this. It's like they're telling us to follow them.
Feitan The blood... has dried. The act must of been committed around the same time the corpse disappeared and reappeared. (NOTE: Guys, it's "must have" and never "must of." Don't be a Feitan.)
Phinks I don't get it... what does the culprit want? If he had wanted to frame us for the mafioso's murder that one corpse just now would have sufficed. And if he let one mafioso escape here the guy could testify to our innocence.
Feitan If the owner of the blood is alive, that is.
Nobunaga ...Maybe this incident has nothing to do with us...
Phinks ! Could it have been individual crimes by different culprits?
Nobunaga Nah, then what would be the reason to let one injured person escape on purpose?
Phinks Isn't it to let him stumble back to his companions' base?
Nobunaga The culprit would have liked it as well if we had chosen to make a move after seeing that corpse and get into a confrontation with the other mafiosos, but... Since we ignored it and continued our search, the culprit decided to move by himself and headed toward the Cha-R Family's base...!
Phinks Then what, you saying that this guy happened to try to use us by chance and it didn't work, so he stuck with his original plan?
Nobunaga Don't you think so?
Feitan That is so random.
Nobunaga Much like us, don't you think? Of course it's just my speculation. You may be right; it could have been individual crimes by different culprits, or he could simply have failed to finish the guy off and be chasing him right now. The first corpse, though... that was definitely done to tease us...
The three follows the trail of blood
(NOTE: From here, one of the Spiders is talking but the script doesn't say who. Most likely Nobunaga.)
? We would have realized if it was Hisoka's Gum.
? If the corpse had been pulled over our heads by the Gum, that is.
Feitan Not Hisoka. The head wasn't cut by a card, but a bigger blade... and it was sloppy job.
Phinks The culprit is not aiming at us, but rather... at the Cha-R Family...!
Following the trail of blood leads them to a sturdy-looking iron door with a surveillance camera
Phinks That is some security that the bottom tier doesn't deserve. I wonder what's going on inside?
Nobunaga Whatever awaits us. You'll never know.
They try to open the door but it is locked
Phinks Locked, huh.
Nobunaga Well, duh.
Phinks ...Hey.
Multiple men are standing behind the three
Wang I am Wang, Underboss of the Cha-R Family. I was told by my superiors to wait, but I don't like tedious stuff. So I'll just ask things that you can answer. Are you the ones who attacked the warehouse keepers?
Tier 5 cafeteria
Franklin is eating alone in the corner
Ittok, the Vice-Boss of the Cha-R Family, joins Franklin at the table
Franklin We have given you the seat. Do you still have anything left to say?
Ittok Aren't you going to look for Hisoka, Franklin?
Franklin I won't do pointless stuff. He's looking for us Spiders to kill us. Wait here and he'll come by himself.
Ittok I see. I've gotten word from the young man that two of our warehouse keepers were killed, and four were taken away. What's your take?
Franklin It has nothing to do with us. ...Unless, if you are setting us up it's a different story. If you're picking a fight we'll gladly give it to you.
Ittok That doesn't make sense. We've received word that three of your comrades went to the warehouse to pick up their weapons. There's no reason for us to get involved with that.
Franklin Then it's not us. It's someone else who exploited that situation.
Ittok You think it's Hisoka?
Franklin Dunno. Maybe, maybe not. But it's not us.
Ittok ...I see. By the way, is Hisoka your only reason for boarding this ship?
Franklin ...Nope? We are thieves after all. But we won't move to the next stage until we have killed Hisoka. Now don't bother us, and we won't bother you.
Ittok Okay. Sorry to have bothered you.
Wang (to wireless) Yes, understood.
Wang Sorry for that. I now have a rough picture of what happened. That over there is the Cha-R Family headquarters. Just now a man came over carrying a bloody warehouse keeper. An idiot of ours was too shocked at the scene that he let the two of them in.
Phinks I see. So he let them in and then "BOOM!"?
Wang No, according to the testimony of the folks were inside the base, the man who carried the bloody guy was himself covered in blood, and they could not make out his face. He was crying "The Spiders did this."
Phinks Listen, we've been telling you that it wasn't us! It was that guy's scheme!
Wang Yes, I know. After all that man suddenly disappeared, and the warehouse keeper was already dead so we couldn't have him corroborate the story. What infuriates me is that someone thinks of manipulating us with such a sloppy set-up. Thankfully you guys are a calm bunch who would listen to reason. I believe the enemy is a hitman from another Family who wishes for our confrontation.
Phinks Maybe his goal was to enter the HQ itself?
Wang ...What do you mean...?
Phinks There is this requirement to activate teleportation abilities called "marking." It's a restriction that prohibits jumping to a location that one has never visited. He may have come to fulfill that requirement...! If you are a Nen user you should understand... how dangerous it is now that he has succeeded?
Wang (These guys are incompatible with the idea of balance. They are outspoken... and they have enough power to have their way without regard to friend or foe.)
Wang ...Then, will you accept if I propose... that we team up?
Wang (As I thought, these thugs are seeds of danger. I have to crush them fast...!!)
