The Cunning Little Spider X Illumi Trapped in the Boudoir

Meteor City never believes in tears, only in fists and strength.

Uvogin was convinced... Nobunaga too... There was nothing to say about being outmatched in skill. If there was any regret... the two of them reluctantly glanced at the silent Chrollo behind them, and regretted... not listening to him earlier.

"Thump... thump..." The sound of footsteps was dull and continuous.

Kastro along like a dead dog. Sarasa, looking bewildered, grabbed Chrollo's small hand, treating him like a lifeline, and pleaded as she followed behind, "Kuroro, you know them, don't you?"

"You must have a way, right?"

What can I do? What can I possibly do?

Intelligence? Perspective? Knowledge... In the face of absolute power, they're all... utter nonsense!

Chrollo's face darkened, and he remained silent. He recalled what Boss Belus had told him yesterday, "Tell your gang not to go to 4th Street anytime soon. I've heard some tough guys are coming to our door!"

He was still naively asking, "Is he even better than Bolton and Ilya?"

The answer was, "Even better than them!"

That day, Boss Belus patted him on the shoulder and looked at him deeply, saying, "Kid, you've witnessed the power of those Nen user. I can tell you for sure now that Meteor City isn't just a garbage dump, but also someone's testing ground and entertainment venue. One Bolton dies, but many more and more powerful Bolton will emerge, and behind them stands... beings I wouldn't dare touch."

After speaking, Boss Belus kicked him out. He was wary and unwilling to say more, but the fact that he dared not even touch Meteor City showed just how deep the waters ran behind Meteor City —the bottom was unfathomable!

"I can't promise you anything, nor do I have the ability. If you trust me, don't rush, just follow my lead." The Sun-Earring Boy grasped Sarasa's small hand, put a finger to his lips, and gestured for her to be quiet.

The group followed Kastro, crossed the square, stepped through the gate, and entered the Prayer Hall. Unlike the Church of the True God, the Prayer Hall, which had been melted by temperatures of nearly 10,000 degrees Celsius, was empty. At the very front, there was only one person dressed as Priest, holding a broom and methodically sweeping the ground.

"Praise the sun," Kastro came to Roy's side, tossed his hands aside, leaving Uvogin and Nobunaga behind, and grabbed a rag to wipe the glass... The remaining Chrollo, Sarasa, and Pakunoda and Shalnark who arrived shortly after looked at each other, bewildered.

Silence reigned in the prayer hall at this moment, save for the occasional sounds of sweeping and wiping windows.

The children, including Uvogin and Nobunaga who were slumped on the ground, all swallowed hard, so nervous that they could even hear their own heartbeats...

At one point, they seemed to notice a few people.

Roy smiled and looked at him, "Sit down."

With his free hand, he casually pointed in front of Chrollo and Sarasa, and suddenly, withered trees sprouted flowers... Several small holes suddenly appeared in the empty stone floor, from which several saplings emerged, quickly growing branches, weaving and knotting themselves, and in the blink of an eye, they materialized into several rattan chairs... which lay quietly next to Chrollo, Sarasa, Pakunoda, and Shalnark.

For a moment, the four people, including Uvogin and Nobunaga were slumped to the side, stared wide-eyed and their brains went blank!

"Squeak... squeak..." The rag scraped against the glass, making a teeth-grinding hissing sound.

Ignoring the group's dazed state, Roy tossed the broom towards the corner, then drew his finger through the air, unleashing [Wood Release] to create a wooden table, several chairs, and teacups, which he placed in front of Chrollo and the others.

The other person was sitting across the wooden table, and with a flick of his finger into his cup, water flowed from his fingertip into the cup, steam rising gently. This was a "Nen Ability Nature Transformation [water]", also known as "Water Release"!

"My master told you to sit down, didn't you hear?" Seeing the group still standing there in a daze, Kastro swept over them with a displeased remark.

The Shalnark's legs went weak and he plopped down, followed by Pakunoda, Sarasa, and finally... Chrollo, who took a deep breath and forced himself to remain calm.

[Hint: Your "Potential Believer" Uvogin... is amazed by your extraordinary abilities, "Loyalty" +5...]

[Note: Loyalty stems from reverence]

[Hint: Your "Potential Believer" Nobunaga and Sarasa... were amazed by your amazing abilities, and their "loyalty" increased by 5.]

[Note: Loyalty stems from reverence]

[Hint: Detecting three "Potential Believer": Chrollo... Shalnark... Pakunoda, loyalty +5...]

[Note: Loyalty stems from reverence]

With reverence in one's heart, one can act with restraint... The panel notification sound suddenly rang out... Roy's Clone, Taiyi, smiled and poured tea for the group, saying gently, "Forgive Toro for his insolence. If you hadn't caused trouble, he wouldn't have attacked you."

"It was my fault!"

"It has nothing to do with Sarasa and the others!"

"Priest, kill me if you want!" Uvogin struggled to sit up, propping himself up on his arms, and shouted with all his might. As he opened his mouth, another mouthful of blood spurted out, staining his chest red...

"Little Gold!" Sarasa jumped up from her chair, but was firmly pressed back down by Chrollo's outstretched hand. The Sun-Earring Boy, sporting a watermelon-shaped haircut, was even faster, pulling out the wicker chair and bowing respectfully to Roy, saying, "Priest, I wish to join the church!"

"And him... she... he..."

Chrollo pointed at Sarasa, Pakunoda, Shalnark, and finally Uvogin Nobunaga, declaring resolutely, "We all want to join the cult!"

Please agree!

After saying that, Chrollo bowed deeply and buried his head in his hands...

In the vast, empty prayer hall, several gazes suddenly swept over!

Sarasa, Pakunoda, Shalnark, Uvogin, and Nobunaga all stared at Chrollo in astonishment. Cold sweat trickled down the Sun-Earring Boy's forehead; he remained silent and didn't look up, like a suspect quietly awaiting Roy's verdict.

Time ticked away like a tiny hammer, relentlessly striking his heart, causing him immense anxiety and torment... Even without Roy splitting off Heart Bug to capture his inner voice, [Circle] alone was enough to hear it all!

"I have a friend who's rather impulsive and doesn't like to listen to others."

"One day he insisted on causing trouble for someone, and I happened to know that person was dangerous. I wanted to stop him, but I couldn't stop him no matter what I did."

"As a result, he really got into trouble, and there was nothing he could do..."

"I have no choice but to compromise and temporarily seek refuge with that dangerous person, and I'll drag my friend along with me. I think..."

"Once I become their accomplice, they will no longer make things difficult for my friend, Chrollo..."

A hint of crimson slowly crept up his eyes. Roy smiled as he looked at the downcast Sun-Earring Boy, extended a finger, and lifted the boy's chin. As the three jet-black tomoe slowly rotated, one could even see their own reflection in the Sun-Earring Boy's pupils. He said casually, "Am I right?"

Chrollo was forced to raise his head and face the Sharingan directly. In the blink of an eye, he felt the world spin... and when he came to his senses...

A black plastic bag had appeared in his arms without his knowledge. When the Uvogin was opened, it revealed Uvogin's unseeing eyes, staring straight at his head!

A piercing scream rang out!

"Ah"

A black sedan traveling from the capital's airport to Kukuroo Mountain in the Republic of Padokea.

A light, teasing laugh rang out...

"Hehe, you cunning little spider..."

Then a young butler suspiciously examined the area.

"Young Master, what spider? Are there spiders in the car?"

"I wasn't talking about the car."

Inside the black sedan, through Share vision, Roy witnessed Taiyi use Illusion Jutsu to teach the dishonest Chrollo a small lesson. After Kuroro regained his senses, Roy then harvested five points of loyalty from him through "reverence."

He opened the car window and watched the scenery rush by. In the distance, he could vaguely see a range of mountains— the Kukuroo Mountain. He stretched briefly, then landed, and the car screeched to a halt in front of the imposing mountain gate...

Carrying the Gotoh, Zee simply stepped forward to greet him, nodded, took a deep breath, reached out, pushed open the five large doors, and walked straight inside.

Boom! Five Testing Gate doors, each weighing 64 tons, swung open and then slammed shut, blocking Zee's view... The gatekeeper, whose hair had thinned again after a few days' absence, muttered to himself, "Young Master has improved again..."

I vaguely saw a pair of empty, lifeless eyes behind the door... it seemed to be... the Second Young Master!

"You still know how to come back!" Roy had just led Gotoh into the house when he smelled the stench of his younger brother!

Illumi with his arms crossed, leaning against the Testing Gate, looking on expressionlessly. He didn't even notice a leaf falling on his head, as if he had been waiting for a very, very long time...

"A week, is that a long time?" Roy asked Gotoh, tilting his head.

"This..." Gotoh glanced cautiously at Roy, then cautiously at Illumi, looked up at the sky, and muttered to herself, "The sunshine is so nice today."

Roy:

With a twitch at the corner of his eye, he kicked Gotoh in the backside, then brushed past Illumi's shoulder, casually tossing him a Wooden Nail.

"A birthday present for you."

Illumi was taken aback, then swiftly grabbed the Wooden Nail with one hand, and looked at the Sun-Earring Boy as he climbed the steps, calling out to Roy's retreating figure, "My birthday is in November, it's only May!"

"Just tell me, do you want it or not?"

"Want!"
