As the sun slowly rose from the horizon, Yorknew City, which had been noisy all night, finally ushered in a new day.
Since Ten Dons had already issued a reward and wanted order in the middle of the night, so early in the morning, countless people who were inextricably connected with the gang walked out of their homes and began to search everywhere for the whereabouts of Phantom Troupe members.
Because for ordinary people, even if they just provide photos, information and current location, they can immediately get a huge amount of money that they will never make in a lifetime.
As for the huge risks that may be faced, they have long been ignored due to the stimulation of money.
After all, self-deception is a common problem for most people.
And its external manifestation is that it only selectively believes in what one originally intended to believe, completely ignoring the objective results that have been scientifically calculated and statistically calculated.
For example, the probability of finding a member of Phantom Troupe is probably only one in 100,000 or one in a million, but everyone thinks they will be the lucky one.
For another example, once a member of Phantom Troupe is discovered, the chance of being killed on the spot is more than 50%, but most people still think that they can escape unscathed and receive high rewards from the gang.
But no one knew that Phantom Troupe had not moved out at all at this moment, and was still gathering in the abandoned church of Lower City.
Especially Chrollo, the leader of the group, was staring at a photo of Rabid Dog in trance, not knowing what he was thinking.
About two or three minutes later, he spoke and confirmed again, "Are you sure it was really this Shadow Beasts who killed Uvogin?"
"Ah! This bastard pierced Uvogin's heart in front of the five of us. There is absolutely no mistake. And after that, he disappeared into thin air with the body without even leaving a breath." Feitan replied with a gloomy face.
It was easy to see from those cold and cruel eyes that he was holding back a lot of anger and wanted to find someone to vent it to.
Chrollo nodded thoughtfully, then turned around and asked another member, "Shalnark, is there any news about Shizuku?"
"Unfortunately, no. I have checked the dynamics of all the gangs in Yorknew City, and no one has announced that they have captured our people. Otherwise, with the way they act, they should directly announce, torture, or even execute them to establish the image of the gangs being invincible." Shalnark sighed helplessly.
"What about the other Shadow Beasts? Didn't they make any movement?" Chrollo asked again.
"According to surveillance records and some gossip, all Shadow Beasts should have been dispatched. Especially this Rabid Dog, there should be three other companions around him. But when he appeared in front of us, he was alone. This is very suspicious! There is also some news that all Shadow Beasts have died, and it was us. In short, the news in this regard is a bit confusing, and there is no way to confirm it."
Shalnark told all the results of his investigation in one go.
As a thoughtful person, this was the first time he encountered such a strange situation.
Especially the gangster's actions were completely unlike what it would be like to capture a Phantom Troupe member and then kill another Phantom Troupe member.
On the contrary, the other party seems to have suffered a big loss and is desperately replenishing its strength to prepare for revenge.
"Strange? It seems that there are some secrets that we haven't figured out yet. Machi, Nobunaga, when you were monitoring the gang's movements, have you seen this Rabid Dog?" Chrollo's eyes flashed with a deep light.
"No!"
Machi shook his head without thinking.
"If I see this guy, I won't hesitate to rush out and kill him!" Nobunaga gritted his teeth and gave a negative reply.
"In other words, all the problems now are on him. Why did the other three Shadow Beasts members around him disappear out of thin air? Where did the remaining Shadow Beasts who came to support go? Was Shizuku captured by the gang or dead? Where was Uvogin's body hidden... As long as we find him, everything will be solved."
Chrollo is indeed the brain of the entire Phantom Troupe. With very little and extremely confusing information, he quickly found the key to breaking the current predicament.
"Captain! What should we do?" Franklin asked proactively.
"It's very simple! First we have to deal with the gang, especially the threat from Ten Dons. You know, this time, they really spent a lot of money to hire Zoldyck Family to take action. And they can still attack the gang. By the way, I want to confirm one thing, that is, who is this guy named Rabid Dog, and whether he really obeys the orders from Ten Dons. "Chrollo made the decision without hesitation.
Because in his eyes, in this huge whirlpool full of doubts, Zoldyck Family is the most dangerous enemy.
If you want to solve Zoldyck Family, you must solve the employer, which is Ten Dons who has amazing financial resources.
After all, the strong strength shown by Silva when he killed Phantom Troupe members was still vivid in his mind, and he didn't want it to happen again.
"What about the original bait plan?" Machi asked.
"Still as usual! On the one hand, you can confuse the enemy, and on the other hand, you can try to see if Shadow Beasts is really wiped out. If these guys are not dead, the gang will definitely send them to fight. In addition, there is one more thing I need to confirm in person."
After saying that, Chrollo took out his phone and glanced at the photo of the young girl on the screen.
This girl is none other than Nostra Family's daughter, Neon who possesses Angel's Auto-Note abilities.
Obviously, through in-depth investigation, Phantom Troupe easily obtained detailed information about this girl, as well as the information that she performs divination for many gang bosses every month.
To be precise, Nostra Family rose to prominence in Mafia Community basically due to her ability, climbing from the bottom to her current position at an extremely fast speed.
Therefore, Neon has special prophecy ability, which is not a secret among the top gang leaders.
Soon, under the order of Chrollo, Phantom Troupe, who had been silent all night, finally took action again.
Although two members were lost just last night, most of them had no sad expressions on their faces, as if death was a common occurrence for them.
Many people think that Phantom Troupe attaches great importance to friendship and companionship, which is completely wrong. This is clearly reflected in the group rules.
I would like to ask, how can a group that values companions and friendship allow a rule such as "As long as you defeat the current member, you can replace him as a new member."
Chrollo has emphasized many times since its creation that the existence of Phantom Troupe itself is the top priority. As long as this goal can be achieved, the life of any member can be sacrificed, even himself.
Therefore, what Phantom Troupe values is not the members themselves, but the abilities of the members.
Especially those rare auxiliary abilities, such as Shizuku's Bulleye Fish vacuum cleaner, Pakunoda's memory detection, and Kortopi's copying ability. Once these few people are missing, the difficulty of their actions will suddenly increase by several levels.
But in comparison, it doesn't matter if a few combatants like Nobunaga, Feitan, Phinks, and Uvogin die. It's easy to find suitable replacements anyway.
