After handing over the paper, Kevin kept a close eye on Wright's reaction.
Seeing the change in Wright's expression, Kevin became even more certain of his guess.
This guy definitely knows something, but how does he know?
The way he looked at Pyro and Rosanna before was strange; he must have been familiar with them.
He not only knew of the existence of the Kuruta tribe, but could he also have some special connection with this tribe?
Kevin couldn't be sure for a moment.
He knew that the information was too little for him to make a more accurate judgment, so he could only observe carefully.
But during this time, his observations convinced him that Wright definitely knew something about them.
At that moment, the television on the airship was broadcasting the news.
Kevin glanced over instinctively.
News reports are covering a horrific tragedy: hundreds of bodies have been found in the forests of South Chau, dozens of which have been decapitated and had their eyes gouged out.
Some notes were left at the scene.
The information on this note clearly points to a gang that has committed numerous major crimes in recent years.
Phantom Troupe
It seems we can be absolutely certain that it's them.
"How tragic! Who could have done something so cruel?" A gang member exclaimed as he watched the news.
In their view, such things could all be described as cruel.
"Judging from this, it looks like an entire tribe was wiped out. The methods are too ruthless. Our gang can only handle one family at most, this..." Some gang members nearby also started discussing.
At this moment, as Pello looked at the news, his eyes involuntarily turned red.
Even Rosanna's eyes changed, but fortunately they had all worn special colored contact lenses beforehand, so they didn't attract the attention of others.
Although several days have passed since the tragedy, it is clear that the two still cannot forget the tragic scene of that day.
Kevin was still watching Wright's reaction.
Wright's face showed no trace of familiarity, confusion, or other unusual emotions; it was as if he were simply reading an ordinary news report.
This differs from Kevin's assessment.
"Wright, are you hiding something from me?" Kevin suddenly asked.
This sudden question made Wright turn to look at Kevin, and a bead of cold sweat involuntarily dripped down his forehead.
So, it really couldn't be hidden anymore?
……
In an unknown city, a blond boy dressed in a ribbed outfit strolled down the street, his face filled with curiosity.
He looked around, occasionally chatting enthusiastically with those around him, radiating a sunny and cheerful aura.
As he walked, he passed by an appliance store.
The television at the store entrance was playing the news, and some passersby gathered around it, watching the news and talking quietly.
"Nancha City, I remember it's not far from here, right? It's the city where the forest where the tragedy happened was mentioned in the news."
"Yes, I never expected something so terrifying to happen."
"What's wrong with these police officers? So many people have died, and the killer still hasn't been caught?"
"They're all tax thieves, complete idiots."
"Are you stupid? Such a big case, the murderer must be a gang. How could one person kill more than a hundred people?"
Kurapika, who was passing by, overheard this conversation and couldn't help but frown.
He followed the crowd's gaze and looked at the television news.
At that moment, the news was broadcasting detailed information about the tragedy, and the familiar clothing worn by the victims appeared on the screen.
"Hey, why are you pushing!" A passerby was accidentally bumped into by Kurapika and scolded him in annoyance.
However, when the person turned around and saw Kurapika's expression, he immediately shut his mouth.
Kurapika's expression was like that of a demon, his face full of disbelief, and his eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
"Impossible, this is impossible!" He instinctively resisted the reality before him.
"This is news, and it's all over the news..." The person who originally wanted to refute it silently shut up when they saw Kurapika's expression.
Those around him noticed something was amiss, because Kurapika's clothes were exactly the same as those worn by the victims in the news.
"No, I don't believe it!" Kurapika shouted, turning and running wildly into the distance.
"Hey, look at his clothes..."
"It's exactly the same as in the news, could it be his family member?"
"What a poor child."
In a distant alley, a figure holding a portrait watched Kurapika run away and muttered to himself, "That must be him."
Chapter 80 Kurapika X Search
Kurapika is speeding through the city.
The city was noisy and bustling, but to him it felt like being in a deathly silent ice cave.
He could not hear any sounds from the outside world; he felt as if he had entered a silent space.
The news broadcasts echoed in his ears, but his bloodshot eyes didn't see the road in front of him; instead, they saw the scenes in the news footage that, though pixelated, were still heart-wrenching.
"No, there must be some mistake."
He staggered along, muttering to himself.
However, his reddened eyes had already betrayed the turmoil in his heart.
He was unwilling to acknowledge the reality before him precisely because, subconsciously, he had already sensed a terrible possibility.
"Hey! Look at that guy."
"Her eyes are so red! Does such eye color really exist?"
"Have you heard the legend? The red-eyed demon."
More and more passersby noticed Kurapika's unusual state; his fiery red eyes were impossible to conceal.
"Calm down, I need to calm down."
Kurapika gradually noticed the strange looks from those around him. He kept muttering to himself, trying to calm his frantic emotions.
But he simply couldn't do it.
The news had a huge impact on him. The horrific images kept flashing through his mind uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but think about and speculate about the current situation of his people.
He didn't even dare to think about his parents, or what kind of situation they were going through.
The deeper you think about it, the clearer those bloody and tragic scenes become.
As he turned a corner, a figure suddenly darted out from the alleyway beside him, grabbed him with both hands, covered his mouth, and forcibly dragged him into the alley.
This sudden turn of events caught Kurapika completely off guard. He instinctively drew his weapon from behind him, preparing to retaliate, but his entire body was firmly controlled by his opponent.
He stared intently at the other person with his bloodshot eyes wide open.
Before him stood an ordinary-looking man who was making a shushing gesture at him.
"You're a member of the Kurta tribe, right? You must be Kurapika, right?" the man asked in a low voice.
Kurapika was surprised that the other party knew his name.
The man continued, "Don't shout. I've been asked to come to you so I can tell you about the other members of the Kuluta tribe."
Upon hearing this news, Kurapika nodded hurriedly.
All that remained in his eyes was urgency.
After the other person released his grip, he eagerly grabbed their clothes and asked anxiously, "How are they now? My people, how are they?!"
"Didn't I just tell you not to shout?" the man in front of him said, somewhat displeased.
Kurapika took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, and nodded at the other person: "Sorry, I've already composed myself."
To everyone's surprise, the man pointed to Kurapika's eyes and said, "This isn't what you call getting yourself in the right state. You need to put on some colored contact lenses."
Kurapika had no time to care about colored contact lenses; he was focused solely on managing his emotions.
After a long while, the crimson in his eyes finally faded completely.
But it turned red again in no time.
This went on for several rounds before it finally calmed down.
"Follow me." After saying that, the man led Kurapika through a maze of alleys, finally arriving at a secluded house.
Kurapika cautiously surveyed the area for a long time, and only after confirming that there was no danger did he follow them inside.
