Don't Bother with Him, He's Sick in the Head

"I called him several times just now, but he didn't respond at all." Hisoka raised an eyebrow, his smile wicked. "Old man, didn't you say there was a Stabilizing Pearl here to suppress everything, so nothing would happen?"

And yet his so-called older brother had been ambushed right in his own room. The old man had really been slapped in the face—hard.

He had said that in places guarded by a Stabilizing Pearl, outside attacks wouldn't work. But now his so-called older brother was unconscious and unresponsive.

"The Stabilizing Pearl can only defend against outside attacks. Your brother's situation is somewhat different." Rondo wasn't annoyed. Instead, he began explaining. "I took a look, and there's a mark on his body."

Rondo shone a small mirror over Luo Ye. Under the enveloping red light, Luo Ye's bones seemed to become transparent. Rondo watched with a deeply furrowed brow. "That mark is the source of what happened to him."

"A mark? He's been staying here for so long, and you're only noticing it now?" Even if Rondo didn't spend much time here, that was still hard to justify.

"After all, he came from that place. I couldn't exactly drag him over and examine him carefully." Otherwise, Luo Ye would probably think Rondo looked down on him for being sick. "Besides, this mark is deeply hidden. It's perfectly normal that I didn't notice it."

"Now that you've found it, if you erase the mark, he'll wake up, right?" But if that happened, he probably wouldn't get to see the little boy Luo Ye had summoned last time.

Thinking about it, he found that rather regrettable. He rather liked the boy's ruthless and merciless manner.

"It isn't that simple." Rondo shook his head. "Not only is this mark deeply hidden, it's also very strange.
