They were truly terrified.
"You bunch of bastards!!!"
Nobunaga, who was tying up the van driver and the man with the mole tattoo, heard such cries.
Annoyed and vexed, he stomped hard on the crotches of the two men a few times.
The bodies of the two unconscious men trembled.
Now that was real trembling.
Franklin, also bound, remained silent, but his ashen face showed he was in a bad mood.
And also in a foul mood was Chrollo, who had finished surveying the scene.
"They had no vigilance whatsoever when they met Feitan, and they even spoke such brazen words..."
Chrollo said in a low voice beside Mog, "This indicates they've done this sort of thing many times before."
And they had succeeded almost every single time.
This was what made Chrollo so uncomfortable.
The other party was so brazen, they even openly intended to speak about what they had done.
And they planned to use equipment to film the entire process...
Clearly, this was not the first time they had done this, and it meant more than one child had been treated this way by them.
Chrollo couldn't bear to imagine what would happen if his own teammates met such a fate.
What if it wasn't Feitan, who was deliberately acting as bait, but Sarasa or Machi on their way home...
He immediately shook his head, dispelling the thought from his mind.
"So, is this why you didn't let Machi and Sarasa come?"
"It's much better for them to stay in the warehouse than to come out and wander around aimlessly."
Mog replied calmly.
They hadn't mobilized their entire force this time; Sarasa and Machi were still present.
For their safety, Mog had grandly stated they were guarding the base.
In reality~
"This group is the same one that dismembered Sarasa in the original plot, right?"
In the original manga plot, Chrollo and the others' [Cleaning Warriors] only had eight episodes for their voice acting.
When the later episodes weren't enough, Sarasa decided to search in the nearby forest.
"If I found it, everyone would be surprised, right?"
"I didn't tell everyone that there were many videotapes in the commercial garbage dump next to Wooga Forest, and I've already memorized the common language script of [Cleaning Warriors]~~~"
At that time, Sarasa, with such a relaxed mood, humming a song, stepped into the jungle.
Then, she encountered this group including the man with the mole tattoo.
Immediately after, Sarasa was dismembered and her body wrapped in a sack, hung on a nearby tree.
Later, Chrollo and the others found her in the heavy rain, and Uvogin climbed the tree to retrieve the sack.
Inside the sack, besides Sarasa's dismembered body, was a note pinned to her head.
The note also contained some unspeakable words.
Uvogin, who couldn't understand the writing at the time, grabbed Chrollo's collar in the heavy rain and asked him what it said.
Chrollo, with empty, dark, lifeless eyes, replied, "Even if I die... I won't tell you."
Then, in the heavy rain, the Troupe's companions all cried and hugged each other.
It was at that moment that Chrollo, who still possessed kindness, completely turned to the dark side.
When Uvogin intended to seek revenge alone, Chrollo also said some very meaningful words to him...
Chapter 060: Machi, When Did You Meet Mog? The Elder's Relief!
"Uvogin, can you wait for me for three years?"
"Before I turn fourteen, I will prepare everything, I will strengthen my power, and perfect the system of Meteor City..."
"From now on, so that Meteor City will no longer have sacrifices like Sarasa, we must have the resolve to dedicate our lives."
"Three years later, I will kill a great many people..."
It was also at that moment that the good kid Chrollo completely died.
All that remained was the future leader of the Phantom Troupe, Chrollo Lucilfer.
His English name, Chrollo Lucilfer, was a name created by the old thief based on Lucifer.
Lucifer, as a symbol of rebellion against God and a synonym for evil, perfectly matched Chrollo's image as the ruthless leader of the Phantom Troupe in the manga.
The name Chrollo in Japanese likely has two meanings:
One is Hei Lu, referring to his image clad in a black coat; the second is Zhong Shu, implying he is the leader of the Spiders.
It can be said that Chrollo's fate was sealed from the moment he was created.
But now~~~
Mog glanced at him, then tossed the filming equipment the driver had brought over to him.
"This is some of the content they filmed for some children before..."
As soon as Chrollo took it, he heard Mog's seemingly unsettled voice:
"Show it to Uvogin and Phinks too."
"Let them see the wickedness of people outside."
"As for Sarasa and Shira..."
Mog stopped speaking, and Chrollo understood what he meant.
"We'll bear this cruelty ourselves,"
Chrollo murmured, then subconsciously looked at the filming equipment, at the past scenes displayed.
What kind of scenes could make someone like Mog lose his composure...
Then~~~
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chrollo's pupils constricted sharply, his expression turning uglier than ever before.
"What's wrong, Chrollo?!"
Uvogin, who had been watching him, also leaned over and instinctively looked:
"What's being filmed in here, is it a bit..."
Soon, silence fell over the forest once more.
Then~~~
"These beasts!!!"
Uvogin's furious roar echoed through the entire forest.
"I'll kill them!!!"
When everyone returned to the dilapidated warehouse once again.
"133, you're back~"
Sarasa, who had been waiting anxiously, immediately rushed forward upon seeing everyone.
"How was it?!"
"Nothing, it's all handled,"
Shalnark replied with a slightly subdued tone.
Huh?!
Machi, at the back, raised an eyebrow, then saw a furious Uvogin, a grumpy-looking Phinks, Feitan with killing intent in his eyes, Nobunaga with his hand clenched on his sword hilt, and Franklin with his head bowed in dejection...
Although none of them appeared to be injured, their state was clearly not good.
And~~~
"Where are Mog and Chrollo?"
Sarasa also noticed their absence and asked curiously.
"Also, what's wrong with all of you?!"
She could obviously tell something was off with her companions' emotions and quickly asked.
"Mog and Chrollo took those outsiders to see the Elder..."
Pakunoda came to Machi's side and whispered, "They plan to hand over that group of people, along with their filming equipment, to the Elder..."
"Filming equipment?!"
Machi's sharp eyes caught the crucial detail.
"Yeah, it's some disturbing stuff they filmed. Shira and I didn't see it, but Uvogin and the others seem to have watched it..."
Pakunoda explained the situation to Machi, while Shira also approached Sarasa and explained what had happened.
"So, the content in that device..."
Machi fell silent for a moment after listening, then chose her words carefully:
"It must have been unbearable to watch, right?"
She herself didn't know if she could imagine what kind of scene it was.
But by looking at Uvogin and the others' current state, she knew the content was definitely not good.
"If you guys hadn't stopped me, I would have twisted their heads off by now."
