(She'll be written as a girl here.)
The heavy alloy door let out a grating screech.
Killua pushed it open.
It was surprisingly bright inside.
It looked nothing like a cage for imprisoning a monster.
All kinds of stuffed toys and dolls covered the floor.
A little girl in a worn-out kimono sat in the middle of the pile.
The girl turned her head.
The instant she saw who had come.
She scrambled happily to her feet.
"Big brother."
Alluka ran over barefoot.
She plunged straight into Killua's arms.
Killua's eyes were red.
He clung tightly to the little sister his family had abandoned as a taboo.
Luo Ye walked in behind him.
His hands were tucked into the pockets of his Hawaiian shirt.
He looked around with utter disdain.
"All these junk toys."
Luo Ye curled his lip.
"How much warehouse space are they taking up?"
"Your family really doesn't understand space efficiency at all."
Luo Ye pulled the battered ledger from his pocket.
His ballpoint pen raced across the page.
"Storage management fees."
"Depreciation on idle assets."
"I'm adding all of it to your family's bill."
Killua released Alluka.
He wiped at his reddened eyes.
He gazed tenderly at his sister.
"Alluka."
Killua's voice trembled a little.
"Call Nanika out."
Alluka nodded obediently.
The next second.
The air throughout the room grew thick.
Alluka's face changed.
Her adorable, wide eyes became bottomless black holes.
Her mouth split into a pitch-black inverted triangle.
"Killua."
Nanika's voice was hollow and chilling.
Luo Ye instantly straightened out of his lazy stance.
He narrowed his eyes.
A flash of intense fervor crossed his black pupils.
This presence.
This wasn't human Nen at all.
This was an absolute rule that transcended the laws of the world.
An advanced creation from the Dark Continent.
