It had to be said that the Zoldyck Family was very good at training talent.
In front of the castle, there were two people standing.
One was the butler, Gotoh, and the other... To Oboro's surprise, was Zeno.
"Young master."
The two bowed to Illumi and Killua.
"Go back."
Oboro got off Mondale's back, and had him put down the snack gift packages.
"This... Just you alone..."
Mondale was shocked.
What if something happened...
"Gotoh, see the guest out!"
Zeno said.
Gotoh, who was wearing glasses, responded, walked in front of Mondale, gestured with his hand, "I'll see you out. Please."
Seeing Oboro wave his hand calmly, Mondale had no choice but to turn around and leave.
"Killua, nice to meet you. This is a gift for you. I hope you like it." Immediately after, Oboro smiled at Killua, and pointed at the two snack gift packages.
This little thing was related to his life and death. Oboro had to take it seriously.
It could also be said to be a blatant 'bribe'.
"For me?"
Killua was a bit surprised.
"Hmm."
"Tch, don't act like we're very familiar. This is only our first time meeting..."
Perhaps it was because he rarely received gifts, this scene caught Killua a bit off guard.
Although he was trying his best to hide it, he still couldn't stop his innocent and childlike heart. Kids were very simple...
He coughed, his cheeks flushed.
Then, he publicly opened the package. When he saw that it was full of snacks, especially his favorite chocolate balls, a pair of bright 'cat eyes' instantly lit up.
He was very happy...
"Cough cough cough..."
However, as if he realized that he was a bit out of line, Killua put on a mature face, and his tone was much kinder, "Not bad... I suddenly find you a lot more pleasing to the eye."
And Oboro's actions made Zeno, who was on the side, thoughtful.
Illumi also tilted his head slightly, but didn't say anything.
Immediately after, Oboro followed Illumi and Zeno into the castle to meet Silva.
The interior space of the castle was very large... The structure was also very complex, and the decorations were relatively classical.
Some areas of the corridors seemed very gloomy...
After a while of wandering around, the two arrived at the main hall.
Oboro looked back, and realized that Zeno had disappeared at some point...
Illumi opened the door, and led him inside.
Silva and Zeno.
After walking in, Oboro saw Silva sitting on a piece of animal skin, and the old man Zeno lying on a sofa on the side.
This was the first time that Oboro had seen the two monsters of the Zoldyck Family.
Their expressions were very calm.
Now that he had turned into an ordinary person, he couldn't sense any terrifying aura or presence from the two of them.
They were just like ordinary people.
Only their expressions were relatively stern.
"Sit." Silva and the other were also sizing up Oboro, who was in extremely poor condition. The former gestured with his hand.
Oboro nodded to Zeno, and walked over to sit on the animal skin.
There were no lights in the room. There was only a burning fireplace, and a miniature version of Mike, lying next to Silva.
Illumi, on the other hand, was standing...
Silva was still very polite... After all, he had received Oboro's money, and he was a guest.
"Hmm... As expected, you've overdrawn your life force..."
As soon as Oboro's butt touched the ground, the old man nearby said.
He saw through Oboro's 'injuries'.
"Yes."
Oboro smiled slightly.
"How did you find out about that thing?" Suddenly, Silva stared at Oboro, and asked.
His face was indifferent, but his tone had a hint of coldness.
He was referring to Nanika.
Moreover, what Silva wanted to ask was why Oboro knew Nanika's rules!
The first person to know this secret was Killua... Even the people in the family hadn't noticed. Killua and Alluka had always kept their mouths shut, hiding it from everyone.
It wasn't until a female butler, Mitsuba, accidentally completed the 'spoiling request' and saw Alluka change her face... She was frightened. Later, Killua ran over and had Alluka change back to her original form.
Afterward, Killua's mother, Kikyo, used this female butler to start testing the 'rules', and found the answer that you couldn't refuse the spoiling request 4 times in a row. Otherwise, you would die.
And what really made Silva realize that this child would pose a threat to the family... Was because later, another female butler, out of selfishness, wished to Nanika to become a billionaire. Then, paper money began to fall from the sky like snowflakes...
This matter even caused some news media to report it at the time.
Then, Silva locked Alluka in the basement.
It could be said that it wasn't just out of consideration for the V5. Another point was that Nanika threatened the entire Zoldyck Family.
That kind of ability... Had already turned the Zoldyck Family into a testing ground for human nature.
Subsequently, Illumi and Milluki had also conducted some 'human experiments' on Nanika's ability.
"I once had the honor of seeing relevant records about 'it' in a book." Oboro said softly.
This was the 'real reason' why the Zoldyck Family was willing to accept his transaction.
Even now, the Zoldyck Family hadn't figured out the rules of Nanika's ability. They had only judged a certain degree of 'equivalent exchange'.
They needed to know the bottom line of this 'dangerous source'.
"What book?" Silva said indifferently.
Old man Zeno's gaze was also constantly focused on Oboro's back.
Was it related to the Dark Continent?
Perhaps it was...
"Oboro... You're lying."
Suddenly, Illumi, who had his arms crossed, blinked his eyes, bent down, and made eye contact with Oboro, "You're doing something very dangerous, oh~ You should know that you could die at any time right now..."
The importance of this matter to the Zoldyck Family was immeasurable.
"..."
Oboro clicked his tongue.
He pursed his lips, and spread out his hands, "Okay, I admit it. I lied!"
"As for how I found out, I'm sorry, I don't want to say it. Anyway, you just need to understand the rules, right... Is there a need to care about anything else?" Oboro thought that he had disguised himself very well, but he didn't expect that he would be exposed in a second.
He couldn't even hide it from Illumi, let alone Silva and Zeno.
He had expected this situation.
He had a bit of wishful thinking.
Of course, Illumi could see it... Not because he had the experienced eyes and experience of Silva and Zeno.
"Just how many things did that Hisoka tell you?" Oboro looked at Illumi unhappily.
"Hmm... I told him everything I should have."
Illumi answered very directly.
"..."
Oboro was silent for a moment, and then spoke, "1. After completing three spoiling requests, Nanika will appear, and fulfill your wish. Afterward, she'll return to Alluka's normal state. However, the bigger the wish, the greater the price that the next person making the request will have to pay... This mostly involves human organs and warnings of certain death. It's a 'progressive' causal relationship."
"2. If you refuse the spoiling request 4 times in a row, the person being spoiled and the person they love most will immediately die in a flat and twisted pretzel shape, and their bodies will explode. When there are more than two deaths, a rule will be added. The person who has had the most contact with the person being spoiled will also die in turn! The bigger the previous wish, the more people will die after this refusal... However, after this, the difficulty of the spoiling will be reset."
"3. When Alluka is spoiling someone, the target of the spoiling won't be transferred to other people. When the spoiling request hasn't been completed, she can always maintain a state of not spoiling others... Moreover, the same person can't wish to Nanika continuously."
"You also know Killua very well..."
After hearing Oboro explain the rules in detail and completely, Silva and Zeno exchanged glances. This was indeed what they understood.
"Why Killua?"
Silva said calmly.
This was the key...
