Tag Game Host: Chrollo (Two)
What is going on? Saiki Kusuo looks at the only living things left, Chrollo and himself.
Of course, there's also Leomon, but he's not important.
Why is it that after talking about humans, both of them are still here? He can understand himself, but has Chrollo finally stopped being human?
"Debates always need to explain the definitions of words. Reading old books needs extra explanation to better understand their deeper meaning. In any human activity, a person's understanding is very important. In society, there are generally accepted standards, and countless people's ideas are close to being the same. One person's occasional different understanding won't affect the result, but will be made the same as others. But among people who are actively or passively disconnected from society, understanding is independent."
Some people shouldn't suddenly give lectures.
"Nen users and people with superpowers exist apart from the world. Your point of view is different, while my personal ideas and way of life are completely different from those of most people in society."
It's too much to deny that someone's human just because of this.
"Of course, we are still within the range of being human. I'm not arrogant enough to exclude myself from this. What I want to say is that this word game relies very much on our individual understandings. A simple explanation for why we haven't disappeared: because I don't think people with Heavenly Restrictions are human. The soul and body are separated. People with Heavenly Restrictions can perfectly return their souls to the world through different bodies. I think this is the key to humans going beyond being just human, whether it's bringing souls back with objects, or putting souls into objects..."
So he also knows he's not a philosopher, and that's why he hasn't disappeared? What a joke, isn't everything this guy says kind of like philosophy?
Saiki Kusuo slowly said the next word: "Tears."
Chrollo lowered his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. "Water column."
Continuous water columns burst out around him. Saiki Kusuo said, "Bamboo forest."
The scene finally changed for the first time. The two of them were suddenly in a forest. Chrollo then said, "Rain shower."
It started pouring rain. The sound of rain in the bamboo forest got louder. Saiki Kusuo crossed his arms and looked up, saying, "Sleet."
The snowy weather mentioned before, and the rain at this moment, disappeared together before the rain even fell on their shoulders.
Chrollo was still thinking about other things. Saiki Kusuo felt that he was a bit distracted, but the word he said put on physical pressure.
"...Avalanche." He said this word so casually.
In the distance, the scenery showed a snow mountain, a mountain made entirely of white snow. Suddenly, a "crack" appeared near the top of the mountain. A large chunk of snow collapsed and slid down the mountain path, right towards where the two of them were.
Although it was a bit far away, avalanches are the kind of thing that gets bigger and bigger as it falls. It would sweep away everything in its path like a mudslide, which is very dangerous. Especially for people who don't have their powers right now, he doesn't know if Heavenly Restrictions can break through physical limits.
"Bungee jumping equipment."
"Prepare for war."
Things like tanks and cannons appeared around them. Is the only thing this guy can think of when he prepares something preparing for a world war? Can't he prepare for a college entrance exam with test papers and a pen?
At this moment, Saiki Kusuo finally understood more deeply what Chrollo meant by saying that understanding affects how words are shown.
This guy really needs to think of something good: "War effort."
"Siege."
"Castle."
The avalanche was still happening. Even though the bungee jumping equipment and some siege vehicles got in the way, the two of them were now inside a castle. The avalanche was still rolling down outside.
No one ran away, because there would always be a word that could solve the current problem. And even if there wasn't, this might be a chance to get rid of the other person.
Chrollo also glanced at the snowy scenery outside and casually said two words: "Explosion."
See? This guy really doesn't want to live.
"The risks are shared. We have the same starting conditions. I'm thinking very simply, Saiki. I'm better at using my surroundings than you are, and all you're good at is controlling yourself."
The sound of an explosion came from below. The castle was like the ones in fairy tales, with the highest point in the middle of three spires. At this moment, the bottom of the middle part was blown off. After a short collapse, the spire started to tilt and fall.
"Gate." The room flipped. Saiki Kusuo calmly jumped and stood on the wall. Their Heavenly Restriction bodies meant that they wouldn't die from falling. Plus, he could definitely jump before he landed to resist the huge impact of falling. He had a lot of experience with this.
A gate also appeared between the avalanche and the castle.
"Are you still paying attention to the avalanche? Ticket booth."
At the foot of the snow mountain, where a messy pile of buildings had been built, appeared a ticket booth. Saiki Kusuo could see very well that inside the booth was… an old man? Hey, old man! What could you even sell in a place like this? Run!
"You frowned when the werewolf died earlier. What's wrong? Even in parallel worlds like this, do you have to worry about the safety of others?"
Saiki Kusuo clicked his tongue: "Beasts."
Chrollo blinked. Instantly, many farm animals like cows and sheep appeared around him, but.
Is Saiki cursing him? He laughed and said, "Utter destruction."
A flame instantly appeared on every animal's body. Saiki Kusuo narrowed his eyes: "Carbon… oxide fire extinguisher."
Carbon oxides include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Adding the word "fire extinguisher" will give the exact meaning of...
Carbon dioxide fire extinguisher!
Saiki Kusuo pointed the nozzle directly at Chrollo's face and pressed the switch. Kikyo, this could also save so many animals around Chrollo.
"Pfft, cough cough cough!"
Hopefully, he coughs to death and doesn't breathe again, this guy.
But in the end, the fire extinguisher had to be used on other places to save the other animals.
The castle was still falling. When the time came, it would actually be very difficult for so many animals to survive, right?
"Cough cough, weather disaster!"
A thunderclap sounded in the sky, startling all the animals.
"...Mirage."
The conditions for a mirage to appear clash with the weather. As Saiki Kusuo expected, the location of the weather disaster changed. The next thunderbolt struck far away. But this loud noise also shook the snow mountain, making the avalanche bigger and faster.
Chrollo: "Full of holes."
Does this guy have any good words in his vocabulary?
Saiki Kusuo barely managed to put out the fire but stepped on thin air and almost fell. The castle suddenly turned into a tofu-dreg project. At this moment, the entire castle had already tilted more than 60 degrees. Saiki Kusuo had to stick to the wall like Spider-Man to keep his balance. The danger the animals were in was obviously even greater. When they landed...
"Stand erect."
The collapsing castle, after collapsing all the way, actually managed to stand upside down on the ground.
After the shaking, the broken spire of the castle was like an upside-down green onion stuck in the ground. The animals scattered and ran. The castle's fancy decorations were gone, but the overall structure was just barely maintained.
Even Chrollo was surprised by this sudden stability.
"You're really trying hard."
The avalanche in the distance was about to arrive.
"How are you going to solve this situation now? That old man selling tickets... Huh? Where is he?"
He was saved by the kind-hearted Lion King, and humans wouldn't appear here anymore. That was just a robot.
The two of them were now at the peak of their physical abilities, each standing in a corner of the inner city.
"We need more dangerous conditions. Vengeful spirits."
Aren't you afraid of being killed directly by vengeful spirits?
In an instant, countless vengeful spirits appeared around Chrollo, making countless high-pitched noises. He didn't even look back, just waiting for Saiki Kusuo's next word.
"There will be worlds that only I know and you don't know, and my knowledge will be very broad," Saiki Kusuo said.
"I know. That's what makes it interesting. You don't need to worry about whether I know about that existence or not. Suddenly bringing this up, are you going to summon some creatures from another world that I don't know about?"
"The Japanese manga industry is very developed. Hunter x Hunter is just one part of it."
"Yeah, I know. There's also One Piece, Naruto, Bleach. Long-running anime basically create complete worlds..." But there are too many episodes and they're mostly drawn out, especially One Piece and Naruto. Since I only have limited time to visit different worlds, I've only watched some parts.
"Red herring."
"Huh?" Chrollo turned his head, but found that Saiki Kusuo was no longer where he was.
An unfamiliar word. Chrollo first understood its surface meaning, but didn't hear the sound of walls being hit.
He turned back, but the ghosts behind him were gone, and there were no ghosts on the walls.
What does "red herring" mean?
His senses became blurred. He frowned and walked through a few places. The avalanche was still happening in the distance. Time was limited.
The word he wanted to say was on the tip of his tongue, but he changed it to a more dangerous one that could definitely force Saiki Kusuo.
"Dung beetle." A type of insect. Any insect would do.
