Hunter x Hunter: Call Me Master Inventor

Kuroro couldn't bear to imagine what would happen to his teammates...

If the one on the road wasn't Feitan deliberately acting as bait, but rather Saraza or Machi on their way home...

He immediately shook his head, dismissing the thought from his mind.

"So, that's why you didn't let Machi and Salazar come?"

"It's much better for the two of them to stay in the warehouse than to run outside and wander around aimlessly."

Von Klay replied calmly.

This time, they didn't send out their entire force; they left Salazar and Machi behind.

For their safety, von Klay ostensibly put them in charge of guarding the base.

Actually...

"Is this the same group that dismembered Salazar in the original storyline?"

In the original manga storyline, the voice acting for Kuroro and his friends' "Cleaning Warriors" only covered eight episodes.

When they ran out of episodes, Sarasa decided to go to the nearby forest to search for more.

"If I find it, everyone will be shocked, right?"

"I didn't tell you that there were a lot of videotapes in the commercial garbage dump near the Wooga Forest..."

"And I've already memorized the common language of 'Cleanup Warriors'~"

With such a relaxed mood, Salazar hummed a song as he entered the jungle.

Then, they encountered this group of men with tattoos and moles.

Immediately afterwards, Salazar was dismembered, his body wrapped in a cloth bag, and hung on a nearby tree.

Later, Kuroro and the others found it in the heavy rain, and Uvogin climbed up a big tree to take the bag down.

Besides Salazar's dismembered body, the bag also contained a piece of paper nailed to his head.

The note also contained some offensive words.

Uvogin, who couldn't understand the text, grabbed Kuroro's clothes in the pouring rain and asked him what it said.

Kuroro, on the other hand, had empty, dark, lifeless eyes:

"Even if I die... I will never tell."

Then, in the heavy rain, all the members of the tour group huddled together, crying.

It was at that time that Kuroro, who originally possessed a kind nature, completely turned to the dark side.

When Uvogin was planning to seek revenge alone, Chrollo said something quite meaningful to him.

"Uvogin, can you wait for me for three years?"

"I will have everything ready before I turn fourteen..."

"I will strengthen myself and improve the system of Meteor City..."

"In order to prevent future sacrifices like Sarasa from occurring in Meteor City, we must be prepared to dedicate our lives to this cause."

"Three years from now, I will kill a great many people..."

At that very moment, the once-good boy Kuroro died completely.

All that remains is the future leader of the Phantom Troupe—Chrollo Lucilfer.

His English name is Chrollo Lucilfer, a name the old scoundrel created based on Lucifer.

Lucifer, as a symbol of evil who rebelled against God and is also known as a demon, perfectly matches the image of Chrollo in the manga as a vicious bandit leader of the Phantom Troupe.

The name Kuroro has roughly two meanings in Japanese:

One of them is "Black Coat," which refers to his image wearing a black coat;

The second is "central hub," implying that it is the leader of the spider.

It can be said that the fate of the character Chrollo was predetermined from the very beginning of his creation.

But now...

von Clay glanced at him.

Then he threw the filming equipment that the driver had brought down to him.

"This is footage they filmed of some children before..."

Kuroro had just taken it when he heard von Clay's seemingly unsettled voice:

"Let's show it to Uvogin and Phinks too."

"Let them see the wickedness of people outside."

"As for Salazar and Sheila..."

Von Clay stopped there and said no more, and Kuroro understood what he meant.

"Let us bear this cruelty."

Kuroro muttered to himself, then subconsciously looked at the recording equipment, at the past footage that was being played.

What kind of scene could have caused someone like von Clay to lose control of his emotions...?

then……

Kuroro's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned ashen compared to the most he had ever looked.

"What's wrong with you, Kuroro?!"

Uvogin, who had been watching the situation closely, also came over and subconsciously looked in that direction:

"Aren't some of the things filmed here...?"

Soon, the forest fell silent again.

Immediately afterwards...

"These beasts!!!"

Uvogin's furious roar echoed throughout the entire forest.

"I'm going to kill them!!!"

When everyone returned to that dilapidated warehouse once again.

"You're back!"

Sarasa, who had been waiting anxiously, immediately went to greet the group upon seeing them:

"How is it?!"

"It's nothing, everything has been taken care of."

The knight replied in a slightly somber tone.

Ok? !

Machi, standing behind, raised an eyebrow, and then saw the furious Uvogin, the grim-faced Phinks, the murderous Feitan, Nobunaga gripping his sword hilt tightly, and the brooding Franklin with his head down...

Although the group did not appear to be injured, their condition was clearly not good.

and……

"What about Bon Clay and Chrollo?"

Salasa didn't see the two of them either, and asked curiously:

"And what's wrong with you all?!"

She noticed that her companions were upset and quickly asked them what was wrong.

"Bon Clay and Chrollo took those outsiders to see the elders..."

Paknoda came to Machi's side and whispered:

"They plan to hand over that group of people, along with their filming equipment, to the elders..."

"Filming equipment?!"

Machi astutely grasped the key point.

"Yeah, it's some bad stuff those guys filmed..."

"Although I haven't met Sheila, it seems Uvogin and the others have seen it..."

Paknoda explained the whole story to Machi, and Sheila also came to Salazar and explained what had happened to her.

"So, what's inside that device...?"

After listening, Maggie remained silent for a moment before carefully choosing her words:

"It must be incredibly disgusting, right?"

She herself didn't know if she could even imagine what that scene would be like.

But just by looking at Uvogin and the others in their current state, she could tell that the content was definitely not good.

"If you hadn't stopped me, I would have twisted their heads off long ago."

Uvogin, still seething with anger, was muttering to himself:

"Those guys don't even deserve to be called human!!"
