Dark Thing X Sister

A building embedded in the mountain.

The surrounding environment looked dark and strange, and the walls of the corridor were carved into squares, each containing a candle.

The flickering flames illuminated the darkness of the corridor.

The overall atmosphere makes it feel like this isn't a pleasant place.

Crisp footsteps echoed from the corridor.

Kiy walked forward at a leisurely pace.

What might be an unusual environment for others was simply the home where he spent his childhood.

Gon was resting in the butler's room outside.

We walked forward and came to a room.

A huge canine beast stared at him, while in the center, on a large cushion, a burly man sat, looking up at Killua as he approached.

Silva looked at his son, the most talented child who would eventually inherit the position of head of the family.

He immediately noticed that something was wrong with his son.

The needle hidden inside her forehead was gone.

"Are you surprised, Dad?"

Kiy tapped his brow and asked.

Silva shook his head and said calmly.

"With your talent, I wouldn't be surprised if you did something. So, why did you come back?"

Since the Nen needle are gone, Qi should be happier and freer to play outside now, and he won't be coming back for several years.

After all, while he was exceptionally gifted, he also didn't fit in with the family.

"I've remembered something. Let's Emission Nanika; she's my sister."

These words were spoken.

Silva's brows furrowed instantly, his expression more serious than ever before.

He rarely showed that kind of expression to his own children.

Seeing this expression, Qi became slightly nervous.

There was no way around it; he still respected his father very much.

After all, this father didn't interfere too much in his upbringing, but every time he did, it was at a very important juncture.

Sometimes I will go along with my reasonable requests.

Unlike his own mother, he wouldn't constantly try to control him.

The main reason is that he really had no reason to Emission Nanika, so he could only use the so-called family ties.

But he also knew perfectly well that his family didn't consider Nanika as family.

Really.

The father spoke.

"Qi—that's not family, and she's not your sister."

"No, Nanika is my sister, my family. So we can't treat her like a dangerous creature and keep her locked away."

Silva showed no anger; his tone remained calm, only slightly serious as he continued.

"It won't work. He comes from elsewhere—darkness. You can't treat him as family."

In the Zoldyck Family, family is a very important identity.

When a person is considered family, their authority extends directly to the core of the entire family.

Although there is a division of power within the core, freedom, equality, and security are essential when people are treated as family.

Mistakes need to be punished, and good deeds need to be praised.

Treat each other like family.

If someone considered family is controlled and restricted in this way, then this is not how family is treated.

Therefore, the other party cannot be considered a family member, nor are they regarded as family members.

Kiy listened, his fists clenching tightly.

He's so cold-blooded. Before he left the family, he didn't think it was a big deal.

But after experiencing so much outside, he found it increasingly difficult to tolerate this distorted family relationship.

Even though he understood that Nanika was indeed a very dangerous presence.

What should I do? How can I persuade my father?

Qi couldn't help but ponder.

He harbored a very, very deep secret in his heart, a secret known only to himself, which he had never told anyone.

In the eyes of her family, Nanika was an uncontrollable figure, and could easily be targeted by someone with ulterior motives, or cause chaos.

That could very well implicate the entire Zoldyck Family, wiping them out in an instant.

This definitely crossed their Red Line, which is why this situation occurred.

Moreover, having traveled abroad for two years and interacted with Kevin, Qi wasn't stupid; he had already guessed it from his father's words.

The dangerous thing hidden inside Nanika's body is very likely from the Dark Continent that Kevin mentioned.

The danger is indeed great, but it should be manageable.

After all, even that terrifying figure beside Kevin hasn't done anything out of line, has he?

Moreover, he understood perfectly well that he was the one who could control things.

But that's something I can't say.

If this gets out, it will be extremely dangerous for both him and Nanika.

It's like having a "Wish Machine" as the younger sister, who now has an existence that can be activated infinitely.

And he is that switch.

The profits were so enormous that no one could stop them.

The distorted family relationships and cold-bloodedness within his household made it impossible for him to believe.

Silva leaned silently against the cushion, watching the pensive Qi.

After she finally understood, she stared at him with an expression that seemed to indicate resignation.

"Then let me see her. You've kept her locked up for so long."

"Just a meeting?"

"Yeah, just to see her. After all, I almost forgot about her."

The two of them just stared at each other.

Suddenly Silva stood up.

"Then, come with me."

Hearing this, the prodigy breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt that his father might have seen through him again, but he didn't care.

Just as Kevin had predicted.

As the next head of the family, this identity was extremely important to him, even more important than he realized.

Moreover, his talent inherently demands that his words and decisions be given due weight.

The father also didn't feel he had the ability to take Nanika away from the family.

If you've only met once, this request won't be refused.

The two made their way to the heavily Blockade tunnel, opening one iron door after another.

"Repeat for me the rules of Nanika."

Kiy nodded, without refuting.

"Nanika can make a wish, but making a wish comes at a price, and the one who pays the price is the Spoiled Object."

"Depending on the size of the wish, the Spoiled Object must fulfill three of Nanika's requests. If they refuse, or refuse four times in a row, the Spoiled Object will die."

"Such deaths will spread, following the person the Spoiled Object has loved most, continuing downwards until the existence of death equals the desire."

The terrifying aspect of this ability lies in...

The person who makes the wish pays no price; the price is paid by the next person to [Spoiled Object].

The real problem lies with this [Spoiled Object] who is responsible for paying the price.

You never know who will be the next person to be pampered. As long as it's someone she knows by name and they're in front of her, she'll start acting cute.

Everyone has selfish desires and their own wants.

Once Nanika is allowed to interact with outsiders, people can't help but make wishes.

Making a wish, then walking away, whether you escape or get caught, it's all useless.

Because at this time, she will randomly act coquettishly towards people she knows.

It could be a family member, or it could be an outsider.

But no matter who you are, you could end up being one of the victims because of an impossible pleading request.

At least within the Zoldyck family, no way has yet been found to avoid such deaths.

In other words, if the people involved are members of the Zoldyck family, then they will be powerless to fight back.

In addition, there are rules that spread.

It's entirely possible that in an instant, the entire family could be wiped out in one fell swoop.

Under these circumstances, how could Nanika be allowed to have contact with outsiders?

Based on these rules and conditions.

Nanika was Blockade to the most secluded place within the family compound, forbidden from direct contact with anyone.

This is almost worse than being in prison.

Even when the best living conditions are provided, this is still the case.

After listening to Qi's explanation, Silva nodded.

Only then did he open the heavy valve-like opening and leave, heading towards the monitoring room.

The situation inside can be seen through comprehensive surveillance.

Qi then entered the room.

The room was decorated in a very warm and inviting style, filled with all kinds of dolls, and equipped with all kinds of living facilities.

Various books and video Game Console, used to relieve boredom, filled a corner of the room.

This also shows that, apart from the fact that they really couldn't let Nanika have contact with outsiders, the Zoldyck family had provided the best living environment for the child.

Even so, it's like being in prison.

Like Golden Thread kept in a cage.

"Elder brother!"

Nanika was overjoyed and pounced on him.

Qi smiled and hugged his younger sister tightly.

"I'm sorry to have kept you here alone for so long."

"It's okay, I'm fine."

A happy smile spread across Nanika's face.

"It tastes like my brother's, I'm so happy."

After cuddling for a while, the two started playing.

"Go to hell, brother!"

Nanika held up her fingers in the shape of a pistol.

"Bang!"

Qi tucked his head inside his clothes, making it look as if his head had been blown apart.

"Hahaha!"

Nanika laughed happily.

And so, in the midst of playing, the so-called requests for affection were completely erased.

It's almost effortless.

In the monitoring room outside.

The group observed the situation.

"As expected, it's incredibly easy for Qi to make a request by acting cute."

Migg sighed.

He was the last person to make a wish, and he did it without his parents' knowledge, solely out of curiosity.

He gave an awkward smile in response to his father's gaze.

"The wish is ready now, but given Qi's personality, he probably won't make a wish, since he only came to see Nanika."

Migg spoke, Miji turned to look at his father.

Seeing his father's warning look, Migg quickly put on a smile.

"Don't worry, Dad, I won't do that again."

Clearly, Silva was warning him not to secretly make a wish at this time.

Because it is safe during the time of making a wish.

The request to act cute has been fulfilled; no one else will be chosen as the object of such affection unless someone else makes a separate wish.

The surveillance here is usually handled by Migg, who is the only person who might have unauthorized access to the surveillance system.

No one else could enter without Silva's order.

Qi was playing with his younger sister.

Although he appeared happy on the surface, he was already deep in thought.

He was thinking about the minimum conditions that needed to be met to restore his sister's freedom.

First, you need to convince your father and the others that Nanika is safe.

Secondly, we must prevent Nanika from easily fulfilling other people's wishes.

Adding these two points together, there is essentially only one issue: resolving the problem of Nanika arbitrarily fulfilling other people's wishes.

The most troublesome part is that anyone can make a wish upon Nanika.

That's why they're locked up here.

Once this issue is resolved, the harm caused by Nanika will be directly reduced.

What Kiy knew about the rules was actually that he could [command].

Only he could do that.

His commands are absolute; even the simplest request is enough to satisfy his subsequent whining.

The real reason is simply because his sister loves him.

As long as I receive his praise, that's enough to make us close.

It is for this reason that Kiy resists such a wish.

How could I possibly tell anyone else about something like this?

Especially those in his family.

After he was controlled by the Nen needle, he could no longer trust his family.

Let him be free outside, so he can truly understand what trust and family mean.

How could he possibly view his blood relatives with normal self-esteem anymore?

If he reveals his hidden rules.

Without a doubt, he would become a puppet in the household, a temptation that even his status as the head of the family could not resist.

The profits were so great that they could not be ignored.

Unfortunately, the character of the people in this family is so Dharma Image.

They would manipulate themselves, constantly issuing all sorts of commands to their younger sister.

To accomplish all sorts of miracles.

He will become a tool, and so will his sister.

This is the foreseeable future.

Can I make a wish? A wish that Nanika won't come out?

He was fully aware that he had two sisters.

It could be personality or something else.

Normally, he communicates with Alluka, who calls him "brother" and is also his sister.

The other one is Nanika, who only appears when you make a sweet request while making a wish.

It's like having a completely different personality.

Having learned so much from the outside world, he also understood perfectly that the so-called power of wishes actually originated from Nanika.

Can I wish he wouldn't come out?

If you don't come out, no one can make a wish.

But is that right?

Kiy and conflicted.

"Brother, why are you frowning? Did something upset you?"

Alluka came closer, reached out and touched Qi's eyebrows, and asked.

"It's nothing, I just remembered something."

Putting aside his own thoughts, he focused on playing with his younger sister, Alluka, until she fell asleep.

The wizard got up and left the room.

After Qi Zhen left, the others in the monitoring room also left.

Unexpectedly, Qi Zhen was just catching up with his sister and didn't do anything else.

I felt my gaze withdraw from me.

Under layers of Blockade, Qi left.

Creatures of the Dark Continent.

I definitely need to go find Kevin; he probably knows more about the creatures of the Dark Continent than I do.

For Gon, for Kevin.

Qi trusted them more than his own family.

He decided to reveal some information.

Taking my younger sister out rashly would be pointless.
