Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life - Chapter 378
Cellulu turned her head in surprise and was about to lift her hijab. The ‘brother’ whose head was still lying on the phoenix crown on top of her head suddenly pressed her shoulders heavily with both hands. She got a clear indication that Cellulu didn’t dare to move.
Elena’s abrupt action also made everyone and the ghost look at her together. Most of the people were surprised, but the ghost’s expression was unusually indifferent, but strangely, no ghost came forward to stop Elena. , the hag is just gloomy watching this scene.
Elena didn’t think about whether her actions would provoke hag and other ghosts. The name had completely made her lose her mind. She yelled angrily, rushed over and reached out to grab Cellulo’s red veil.
“You can’t call that name! Give me your name back!”
She was dragged back by her ‘brother’ and took a step back, avoiding Yelena’s pull, but Yelena’s aggressive tone that she believed she was a thief made Cellulu unhappy, she retorted.
“You said you were Cellulu? You didn’t deny that others called you Elena, did you recover your memory? Are you so sure that your name is Cellulu?”
She didn’t remember anything, and she wasn’t sure if the name Celluloid was her real name, but since she used it all, she naturally didn’t want this name to be taken away by others inexplicably.
Elena is not weak, she said confidently.
“Irina isn’t my name, it’s just the name of the paper-piercing people in the village. I can’t remember my name, but when I heard your name, I suddenly knew it. This is my name! How about you? How dare you guarantee that this is your name!?”
Celluloid was at a loss for words, how could she know.
In order to prove the correctness of her words, Elena also turned to look at the other living people present and asked eagerly.
“What about you? You must not be able to remember your own business! Isn’t this name now called by these ghosts? Are you so sure that you are using the real name?”
Hisoka glanced at Irina, then at Cellulu, and suddenly fell into a thoughtful state.
Sanhadya frowned at Elena, and frowned at Celluloid, also with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Pariston looked at Elena with an interesting expression, but didn’t say anything. He didn’t want to go to the muddy water this time. Anyway, the name was just a code name, and it didn’t matter who was called what.
Thom hated Irina, and the serious injury left him in a very bad mood, so he completely ignored this question.
Zait, who did more than one less thing, also kept his eyes down and remained silent.
Wilson’s expression was indifferent, exactly the same as that of the ghosts, completely indifferent from the world.
Illumi looked back and forth between the veiled Cellulu and the anxious face of Irina who was constantly seeking approval from the people around her, and fell into a wordless tangle.
It is undeniable that he has an indescribable affection for Elena, but the girl named Cellulu in front of him also gives him a strange feeling that he can’t tell the truth, which makes him not want to embarrass this girl, not to mention, this is him. I want to hug the thigh, so it is the best choice to protect myself and not help each other.
But the silence of the crowd made Elena jump in a hurry, she almost cried, and kept asking.
“Why don’t you talk? Did I say it wrong? Didn’t the ghosts call you by name?”
Looking at Yelena’s aggrieved eyes flashing with tears, Ilumi’s heart moved, and she spoke out of a ghost.
“It’s like this, I can prove that it was Zhizhang who said I was Illumi, but I can’t remember if that was my real name.”
Elena looked back at Illumi in surprise and gratitude, and smiled excitedly.
“Look! I was right!”
She was not surprised by the help of the cat-eyed young man. It was obvious that this person had a different opinion on Elena, so she just stated another fact.
“However, my name was not called by Zhi Zha.”
After a pause, as evidence, she said.
“Also, Brother Hisoka already knew that his name was Hisoka before he was called out by the paper jammer.”
Hisoka glanced at Cellulu without a smile, but said something unexpected.
“Huhu, Hisoka is my real name, Ou~”
“Is it her real name?” Cellulu was stunned for a moment.
Illumi looked sideways, and the others were also surprised. Everyone didn’t know their name, so why should Hisoka know?
Pariston had already asked with interest.
“How did Mr. Xi Suo determine that this is his real name? Is there any reason?”
Hisoka shrugged and opened his mouth.
“Don’t be sure, after the ghost bus drove away, I suddenly remembered that my name was Hisoka.”
“You said you remembered your name?” Zait said in surprise.
Pariston was interested in another point and asked with a puzzled smile. “Ghost bus?”
Hisoka also seemed to want to verify something, so he asked back.
“Were you in this dead man’s ditch when you regained consciousness?”
Pariston nodded. “That’s right, isn’t Mr. Xi Suo?”
Hisoka’s lips curled slightly.
“It’s not O~ Before we came to Deadman’s Ditch, we also experienced a ghost bus incident. A car of ghosts tried to pull us off the cliff, but we saw through it and escaped the ghost bus halfway. Deadman’s Ditch is the second time we’ve experienced. It’s a scene~”
After he finished speaking, he looked back at Shanhadya and Cellulu again and asked with a smile.
“So, what about you? After the ghost bus incident, didn’t you remember your name?”
Sanhadya immediately nodded affirmatively.
“Just like you, Sisso, I suddenly remembered that my name was Shanhadeya not long after escaping the ghost bus.”
He suspected silence before because Shanhadeya realized that Elena and Cellulu’s situation was actually different from his own.
However, now that this is mentioned, Shanhadeya doesn’t mind revealing more of the speculation that is currently in mind.
“I was guessing at the time that if everything I experienced here was regarded as a game, then every time I successfully lived a scene, would I be able to remember something about myself?”
This statement is very likely, Hisoka thought so, so he thought about it before, because he couldn’t tell whether he was a special case or Celluloid was a special case.
But obviously, according to the current situation, Celluloid is the special case.
The testimony of the two also made everyone look at Cellulo suspiciously and exploratively. If Hisoka and Shanhadeya’s speculation is true, it would be interesting to see Celluloid, who can’t remember her real name. Elena’s testimony became credible.
Illumi suddenly became vigilant, and temporarily put out the idea of approaching Celluloid, because maybe this Celluloid is actually a ghost? It’s not easy to distinguish between people and ghosts in this place, and this can explain why there are ghosts helping her. This may be two groups of ghosts fighting within the family, not necessarily.
Cellulu was also a little panicked at this time. She also wanted to know why. Why did she still have a blank memory and didn’t remember her name?
Irina took advantage of the situation to pursue her and asked aggressively.
“Look, Celluloid isn’t your name at all! Say, where did your name come from!”
“I…” Cellulu couldn’t help but murmured in confusion. “…I read it from the notes in my carry-on backpack…”
“Notes? Where?” Elena was even more anxious.
“Notes…not with me…”
Just as Cellulu was about to say that she was not with her, she landed with her backpack in the room where the paper was stuck before. As a result, with a snap, a paper notebook suddenly fell out of her body.
Cellulu stopped abruptly in surprise. In the field of vision under the red hijab, on the ground, lay an open notebook with the words Cellulu clearly written in the second and fifth class of the secondary school.
“why···”
Cellulu murmured in shock, she was sure that the notebook was definitely not on her body, so the notebook that appeared suddenly could only be made by the ghost ‘brother’ on her back.
But why? Why does it have to cooperate with Elena’s take out? What’s the point of this book with her name on it?
Cellulu was still confused, but Elena’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she rushed over and grabbed the book like an explosion. Then, looking around, she found two lines arranged in a straight line on the patio floor tiles. After a long line of white lanterns burning with faint green light, she immediately rushed over, pulled out a lampshade, and placed her notebook on the ghost fire.
Although the ghost fire is cold and can’t burn big things, it is enough to burn a notebook made of paper, especially the ghost fire here is quite special, and it will never go out. Therefore, the green flames quickly licked the pages of the paper. .
Looking at the notebook that was slowly turning to ashes, Elena showed an excited and relieved smile, and said softly to herself as if it was in her mouth.
“Finally, the name is mine.”
Because Elena moved too fast, it was not until the notebook was almost burned out that Cellulu responded in surprise and questioned.
“What are you doing…”
But just after saying a few words, she suddenly hugged her head and trembled all over.
“What’s the matter?” Both Shanhadiya and Zait took a slight step back in alarm.
Illumi, Pariston, and Hisoka suddenly felt a heavy shock in their hearts, and even went into a trance for a moment, only to wake up after a while.
What just happened? The three of them glanced around suspiciously and vigilantly, but did not see any major changes.
After Hisoka looked around, he finally looked at Cellulu, who was obviously abnormal at this time. He raised his brows and asked tentatively.
“Little sister, what’s wrong with you?”
Cellulu heard Hisoka’s question, but couldn’t answer it. She suddenly found that everything around her suddenly became extremely unreal, not even herself.
She didn’t know who she was. Although she didn’t know who she was originally, not knowing who she was before did not prevent her from dealing with external things normally and actively dealing with problems, but now this ignorance is completely unfamiliar to herself. , or rather, she began to get caught up in a deep self-questioning that kept asking ‘who am I, where am I, and what am I going to do’.
Whenever she wanted to answer, she would subconsciously start trance, and then ask herself.
Is this what I’m talking about? Why am I saying these things? What is the purpose of saying these words? Can I give another answer? Which answer is really what I said? Or none of them are me?
The strong sense of alienation made her confused and confused, and she was at a loss as to what to do. Different answers represented different ways of doing things, as well as different personalities and personalities, but she could not find the real answer that she would have.
And, what is she herself? She should be human, but what is human? There are ghosts and people standing around her, but what is the difference between a ghost and a ghost?
In her eyes, outsiders and ghosts were slowly assimilated, and at the same time, they were slowly becoming alienated, gradually becoming something she didn’t understand at all.
Where is this place? Why is she here? Why isn’t it there? What’s the difference here and there?
Celluloid’s mouth was stunned, and layers of cold sweat broke out all over her body. She only felt that her brain was extremely divergent, extremely scattered, and at the same time extremely chaotic. Conceptual things were difficult to understand, and intuitive things were also difficult to understand. She couldn’t even concentrate on dealing with the outside world at all.
Cellulo’s spiritual world is experiencing severe personality disintegration and personality selection, but to outsiders, she seems to have a sudden epilepsy.
The living people were still strangers to each other, so everyone was very vigilant. No one stepped forward to ask what happened to Celluloid, and even Sisuo stayed a few steps away from Celluloid after he could not answer. .
In this world where you don’t know who is a ghost or who is a person, who is not suspicious of everything, especially Cellulo’s performance is so suspicious.
However, as if the hag had finally woken up, she suddenly sang aloud again, interrupting the speculations of a group of people, making everyone’s nerves tense again.
“The bride and groom have come to the church~~~~~ Please invite the bride Saijia to invite Dilulu to enter the ancestral hall~~~~~~~~~~~ Please the bride…Xiaoya…enter the ancestral hall~~~~~~~~~ ~~~”
This singing made all the living people look at the hag again in surprise. Is this even the ghost admitting that this kind of name is excessive?
However, without the name Celluloid, this veiled bride doesn’t even have a replacement name? When the hag sang, she clearly left a blank pause for her name.
Pariston, Hisoka, and Illumi were slightly thoughtful. If the name was really a stubborn person or a ghost, why not give this former Celluloid another name? Or, wouldn’t it be okay to just give the current Celluloid’s past name, Yiliana, to the former Celluloid?
The unreasonable details of this kind of unspeakable made the three people feel a little weird for a while.
The feeling of being stuck in the throat of Elena disappeared, and the sense of panic disappeared. At this time, when she heard the hag pause in the blank of the name, a burst of apology suddenly rose.
What happened to her just now? To be so aggressive in words and actions, even if it is her own name, there is no need to be so aggressive. It is obvious that this veiled bride doesn’t know that this name does not belong to her. Her tone should be more polite.
Irina was embarrassed to speak to Cellulu.
“I’m sorry, I was too excited just now. It’s inconvenient to not have a name. If you don’t mind, why don’t you use the name Elena before you remember your real name?”
“Don’t…this…name!”
A voice that seemed to be extremely difficult to come out of her throat so that it seemed to be extremely gnashing of teeth came out intermittently from under the red hijab of the bride in front of her, and her body was still trembling slightly.
Illumi frowned slightly, and then loosened it for a moment. Although she felt that the bride didn’t know a good person, she didn’t appreciate it if she didn’t appreciate it. It was just a name. She was free to call her Xiaoya or Elena.
Elena’s version of Celluloid is also very peaceful, and said with a smile. “I’m busy.”
The hag screamed again.
“Please invite the bride Saijia to invite Di Lulu into the ancestral hall~~~~~~~~~~~Please bride…Xiaoya…enter the ancestral hall~~~~~~~~~~~~”
Elena’s face suddenly became tense again, and she turned to look at the so-called ancestral hall.
The whole room was empty. At the end, there was a square table for offerings. On the back wall, there was a large “Lien” with white characters on a black background. Two slender white candles were slowly burning on the offering table. The dim light kept jumping and flickering, so that everything in the room was also immersed in a dark and swaying gloomy atmosphere.
But at least, as far as the naked eye can see, there is nothing terrifying in ambush inside, so this time, Irina didn’t let those paper stickers ‘invite’ herself into the ancestral hall, but gathered up her courage and walked in with big strides.
Cellulu was confused and felt unfamiliar with how to control her body. However, when the ghost ‘brother’ on her back pushed her, she unconsciously took a step forward, and then pushed and walked, although some She staggered, but Celluloid still walked into the ancestral hall.
After the two brides entered the ancestral hall, the hag and a group of Zhi Zharen’s cold and emotionless gazes aimed at Hisoka and a few others, all of them were very aware of current affairs, and quickly followed.
After all the living people entered the hall, the hag and the three concubines who had turned into ghosts also floated into the door with their toes on their toes, and the paper-tipped people stayed outside. Finally, the black coffin floated out of thin air and flew in slowly. , fell in the center of the ancestral hall.
The door closed automatically with a squeak, and everyone immediately turned their heads on guard. Fortunately, there was no one guarding the door, so Sisso, Ilumi, Pariston, Zait, and Shanhadiya all stepped back slightly, quietly, heading towards the door. The door was a little closer.
With their skills, they were sure that they could break through the door and rush out in the moment of an accident.
However, the hag didn’t seem to see their small gestures, she passed over them and stood in front of the Sifang offering table, singing gloomily and joyfully.
“Bride and groom worship their ancestors~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
Celluloid is still in a state of confusion, otherwise she will definitely complain, shouldn’t one worship be heaven and earth? This is to bully Hisoka and the others who don’t understand customs and rules.
After the end of the singing, the black lacquer coffin suddenly stood up vertically, and Irina immediately stood aside in shock, but the next moment, she suddenly screamed, this time she was really frightened, He even took a few big steps back.
Hisoka, Illumi, and Parison, who were facing the offering table, also shrank their pupils. Zait and Shanhadiya couldn’t help gasping for breath. Only Wilson and Tuo, who was so badly injured that he was unable to respond, shrank. Mu looked calm.
I don’t know when, the black and white characters on the wall have fallen, and behind it, there is actually a huge recessed deep hole, and even this hole is so big that Irina wonders how the piece of Dianji cloth just now can give this hole to it. It’s not visible at all.
In the deep cave, there is a ladder-like shape. Each ladder is filled with countless spiritual positions. Next to each spiritual position, a white long-bright candle is lit. There are as many as a hundred, and according to this ladder, it is bright and gloomy. However, the higher the ladder, the fewer the number of spirits. At the top, there are only two spirits left, which are obviously the tablets of the ancestors of this family. The reason people were surprised.
Instead, behind each spiritual position, sat a gloomy ‘person’ with a pale complexion, or, in other words, a ghost!
Hundreds of ghosts staring at you with expressionless faces and white pupils in the flickering candlelight, this feeling is really unbearable for ordinary people.
The hag seemed to be very dissatisfied with the two brides who were distracted, and shouted gloomily again with a stiff face.
“The bride worships her ancestors~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~”
The ghost ‘brother’ pressed down on Cellullu’s neck harder, and then Cellulo glared and bent her back, looking like a salute.
Elena was still standing upright with a look of horror on her face.
The hag stared at Irina coldly, and shouted loudly.
“The concubine stepped forward~~~~~~~~~~~~helping the wife to salute~~~~~~~~~~~~”
The three red-robed concubines who died before—Samantha, Caitlin, and Rocashia—came forward at the same time, and all three of them had vicious and sinister smiles on their miserable faces, and their voices were erratic and laughter.
“Sister Cellulu, concubine Samantha is here to serve you~~~”
“Sister Cellulo, concubine Caitlin is here for you~~~~~~”
“Sister Cellulu, concubine Roccia is here for you~~~~~~~~~”
The three of them pulled and pulled Yiliana, giggling in a shrill voice, not only forcing Yiliana to lower her head, but also to bend her waist, and even fell to her knees directly by the three of them.
Irina screamed and was in a state of embarrassment, but she couldn’t stop struggling, and she gave all the ghost ancestors a big gift.
When the ceremony was over, the three concubines walked away with a smile.
During this period, Ilumi moved his fingertips a few times, but he finally tolerated it. Now that he rushed up, he did not have the confidence to hit hard and knock out the hundreds of ghost ancestors.
Calm down, this is just an innocuous tease, Illumi said to herself, she can handle this girl he cares a lot about by herself.
Hisoka also frowned several times a little impatiently, but in the end he didn’t do anything.
Pariston glanced at Elena, but seemed a little disappointed by her performance.
The hag sang aloud again gloomily.
“The bride and groom see their wives and concubines for the second time~~~~~~~~~ The wives salute the wives~~~~~~ The concubines salutes~~~~~~~~~~~”
The words fell, and Hisoka noticed that a dazzling red light suddenly lit up in the dimly lit ancestral hall.
Where did the red light come from? Doubtful thoughts arose, and the next moment, Hisoka’s pupils shrank again.
Originally, the room was empty except for the four-sided offering table. Suddenly, countless ebony chairs were added. On each chair, there was a ghost bride in red. It was these countless scarlet wedding dresses. All reflected into an ominous blood-colored light.
The ghost brides only set aside one aisle in the middle for them to stand. The hijab of each bride was lifted up, exposing the bottom or seven orifices bleeding, or pale and blue, or swollen and bleeding, or black and rotten. Horrible dead faces, they all stared at them with gloomy and weird smiles.
The air was filled with the strong smell of blood and the strong stench of dead people.
Tom was close to a ghost bride, and he fell to the ground in fright. He hurriedly kicked his feet and tried to shrink back to the gate at the back, but after taking a few steps back, he felt that his back was touching an object.
With an ominous foreboding, he slowly turned his neck and looked back, a pale face without facial features staring down at him.
Tom looked at her silently for two seconds, rolled his eyes, and fainted.
Illumi and the others all turned their heads and saw that the original retreat – in front of the gate, there were also three rows of ghost brides in front and back, with a total of more than 20 people.
Seeing them turn back, the three rows of brides’ smiles became more and more terrifying and terrifying.
Several people looked solemn, Pariston roughly counted, there are almost hundreds of ghost brides, plus hundreds of ghost ancestors on the table, they are completely turned into a U by this group of ghosts. The type is surrounded by groups.
