That's it.
Under Aluka's "shot."
Bai Ze raised both hands, making a standard French military salute, a gesture of surrender. He then retracted his head into his clothes and fell straight down.
He lay on the ground, entering a state of suspended animation.
Seeing this, Aluka excitedly clapped her hands.
“Yay!”
“Big brother is amazing!”
“You're resurrected!”
With those words.
Bai Ze’s head emerged from his clothes, a smile on his face.
Now, he had fulfilled Aluka’s three "demands" and could make a "request" to Aluka, meaning he could make a wish to her, gaining the leverage for negotiations.
He ruffled Aluka’s small head and said.
“Little sister, do you want to play a game?”
Aluka tilted her head.
“What kind of game?”
Bai Ze, also a "five-year-old" child, showed a harmless smile.
“A death game.”
With these words, Bai Ze raised his gaze towards the cameras in the confinement chamber, maintaining his smile.
He knew that every one of his actions was under the watchful eyes of Silva, Zeno, and the others.
Now, it was time to show his cards.
This scene, this smile, sent chills down the spines of everyone in the monitoring room.
At this moment, the cramped, dark monitoring room fell into a deathly silence.
Kikyo, Maha, Zeno, Silva, their gazes fixated on the large screen.
On the big screen, Bai Ze also looked up at them.
As if at this moment they were staring at each other through the screen.
It was as if everything was under Bai Ze's control.
Manipulating everything, foreseeing everything.
Kikyo’s electronic eyes flashed red, her right hand covering her mouth, as she exclaimed repeatedly.
“Omg~”
“Could it be… Bai Ze also knows Aluka’s wish-granting mechanism?”
Zeno’s deep, aged eyes narrowed slightly.
He let out a soft sigh.
He shook his head.
“No, Bai Ze wouldn’t know that.”
“He’s just come into contact with Aluka.”
“The entire process was carried out under our surveillance.”
“All his actions were done under our noses.”
“So, he has no chance to understand Aluka’s wish-granting mechanism.”
“However, if this continues, the situation will be dire.”
“We have to figure out a way to separate Aluka and Bai Ze.”
At this moment, Silva’s face remained as still as death.
“Hmm.”
“Bai Ze is more dangerous than Aluka.”
“To restrain Bai Ze, we need a much stronger confinement chamber…”
Suddenly, a playful voice rang out, coming from the large screen, it was Bai Ze’s voice.
“Father, mother, grandfather, I believe you can hear me speaking.”
Upon hearing this, those in the monitoring room who were called out, Kikyo, Silva, and Zeno, involuntarily stiffened.
What was Bai Ze trying to do?
Before they could react.
Bai Ze patted Aluka’s back, a meaningful smile curving his lips.
“Father, can you see this?”
Instantly, Aluka, who was previously a lively young girl, turned around, her expression changing drastically!
The beautiful young girl, Aluka, vanished.
In her place stood Nanika.
The dreaded Nanika of the Dark Continent returned once more.
Her eyes, seemingly hollow and completely black, and her pale face like a sheet of paper, were terrifying.
Those eyes, like black holes, were deep and boundless, capable of devouring everything in the world.
“Heeheehee… Bai Ze, I want a head-pat.”
Bai Ze didn't hesitate to indulge Nanika’s affection, he ruffled her small head while looking at the cameras in the confinement chamber.
“Father, you should speak now.”
His flat tone was filled with absolute authority, like a command.
Seeing this, Silva glanced at Zeno beside him.
Zeno nodded slightly.
Then, Silva activated the microphone on the monitoring console.
His steady voice spoke slowly.
“Hello, Bai Ze, I am Silva.”
Finally, he spoke, this was the first formal conversation between father and son.
Bai Ze’s heart remained calm and steady.
His blue eyes were as still as a well.
He patted Nanika’s shoulder.
He gestured.
“From now on, what I say is a command.”
“Can you understand that?”
These words were like a torpedo dropped into a fish pond, causing a huge ripple that was hard to calm down in the hearts of Kikyo, Silva, Zeno, Maha, and the others.
Could it be that Bai Ze really understood Nanika’s wish-granting mechanism?
Silva, who was always steady and confident, now had a bead of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
This was the danger of Nanika, once out of control, she could destroy the entire Zoldyck family!
Make the world’s number one assassin family just a speck of dust in the long river of time.
At this moment, there was no doubt that Silva’s killer instinct had wavered.
Seeing this, Zeno patted Silva on the back.
His old-fox-like face was tense.
Silva glanced at Zeno.
He took a deep breath.
He continued to act with Oscar-worthy skill.
“Why did Aluka’s eyes turn black?”
“Did you do something to Aluka?”
Zeno, who loved telling little white lies, gave a more masterful performance, joining in.
“Bai Ze, are you trying to threaten us with Aluka?”
“Anything can be negotiated, just don’t hurt Aluka.”
“Hahaha~” Bai Ze sincerely laughed at Zeno and Silva’s performance.
Clearly, Zeno and Silva were trying to get away with something else, they were gambling that Bai Ze's gun had no bullets, gambling that Bai Ze didn’t understand Aluka’s wish-granting mechanism.
However, the following words.
Directly shattered the worldview of Zeno, Silva, Kikyo, Maha, and the others.
Bai Ze spoke calmly and collectedly.
“1. If someone does not fulfill Aluka’s active request and dies, the difficulty of Aluka’s request will return to level 1, the optimal level for granting wishes.
2. If Aluka actively makes a request to a specific person, the request cannot be transferred to another person in the middle. Therefore, if that person disappears or hides themselves, Aluka cannot actively make any requests to anyone else.
3. If the person fulfilling the request dies in the middle, the request will be considered a failure, and at least one more person will die.
4. Aluka must know the specific person's name in order to actively make a request.
5. The same specific person cannot make consecutive wishes to Aluka.”
“This is the wish-granting mechanism you deduced by sacrificing the butler.”
“You need to know, I understand more about the wish-granting mechanism.”
“So, what I say next, it’s not a request, nor a plea, it's a command.”
“Do you understand?”
After Bai Ze explained everything.
The monitoring room fell silent.
They were now certain that Bai Ze was the disaster, the cursed child from the forbidden land of humanity!
At this moment, Bai Ze’s smile was a death sentence to them.
Bai Ze even knew that they sacrificed the butler to experiment with Aluka’s wish-granting mechanism.
It was as if he was omniscient and omnipotent, was this Bai Ze’s power?
This wasn't a joke, this wasn't a drill, people were going to die!
A disaster holding onto another disaster, this was like two atomic bombs chatting and gossiping in your backyard.
To use the Hunter world's analogy, it was like two poor Roses having a party in your house.
In an instant, Kikyo’s electronic eyes flashed with excitement, her hands cupped her face, she was ecstatic!
“Amazing!”
“Bai Ze has grown up again.”
“He’s threatening our lives, what a mature child, I’m looking forward to his future~”
She was able to compliment Bai Ze despite being threatened, Zeno twitched at the corner of his mouth, you’re just spoiling him.
Standing aside, he took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, Silva propped his hands on the monitoring console, staring intently at Bai Ze on the screen, he spoke word by word.
“We understand your words…”
“Please tell us your request.”
In the face of Nanika, the legendary Zoldyck family finally conceded.
