Chapter 103: The Devil

So who is it?
Chrollo slowly opened his eyes as a smile of interest surface on his eyes though only he knows the plan that he just formulated in his mind... a simple plan.
"I know who stole them... The same person who has most of the scarlet eyes..." Calmly informed Chrollo getting Kurapica's complete attention.
"I found out the likely suspect not long after the robbery, I just wasn't sure and It wasn't worth it to go after them since again, I wasn't sure... I was only able to confirm my suspicious years later... The Zoldycks."
The chain guy's eyes couldn't help but to dilate hearing that only for him to narrow his eyes accusing, "You're lying, why would a Zoldyck do such a thing, and even if one of them did it, it would be for a mission so that doesn't answer my question!"
After he finished saying that, Kurapica lifted his hand from which what looked like a metallic ball was dropped from within his clothes connected to his hand by a chain, this is one of Kurapica's abilities 'Dowsing chain', he asked again, "Answer again!"
The sudden outburst didn't seem to faze Chrollo, instead, he only continued to add fuel to the fire.
The difference being is the target of the fire, "I know... I was surprised myself and it wasn't hard to find out. Why would a Zoldyck go after the scarlet eyes, I wondered... So after my investigation, I found he is a research hunter so I naturally assumed he found them interesting and took them."
Chrollo let out a small smile, "I happened to be his target a couple of years ago and that's where I confirmed it.
An interesting experiment he said, and well, that says a lot for a Zoldyck, doesn't it. You'll just need to do some little investigation to come to the same conclusion."
Kurapica frowned noticing the ball making no movements then asked, "Name?",
"Yasuo Zoldyck..." A gleam of light passed in Chrollo's eyes as he answered while thinking deeply in his mind.
'I definitely didn't lie else he would've known from what looks like an ability that detects lies. I just didn't give him the full context and that makes all the difference.'
Chrollo closed his eyes thinking back on the predictions he made using the Neon Nostade's ability.
So she looked at the people in the room as Phinks, one of the spiders demanded answers from her.
Answers she's willing to give even at the cost of her life so instead of answering his questions, something that'll lead to her death before giving any useful information, she decided to do it with the only possible way...
A loophole Kurapica couldn't see since he doesn't know her ability, what could be considered one of the most interesting abilities in the world and especially so considering she's a specialist.
Pakunoda can "read" the conscious thoughts of any person she is in physical contact with and can extract memories by asking specific questions.
Trying to fool Pakunoda by creating irrelevant conscious thoughts or false information is impossible since Pakunoda can extract her target's purest memories. It can also be used to see the past of an object while touching it.
But there is another ability she's making use of, an ability connected directly to the former one.
Pakunoda readied her revolver, an empty revolver with no bullets in it but her ability allows her to conjure them with a specific function.
She concentrated her Aura onto the revolver as she thought to herself, 'I can shoot 6 bullets at once, exactly the number we were during the formation...'
Then she asked the original six members of the group, "Feitan, Phinks, Machi, Nobunaga, Shalnark, Franklin. Do you trust me... Enough to accept what I'm sending you?", 'My memory... My souvenirs And this is her other ability.
The ability to share her memories by shooting them into another person's head using a revolver and conjured Nen bullets called Memory Bombs. This is not a combat ability and does no damage.
However, if she shoots someone with a memory of their own, said memory is erased indefinitely.
So if she shoots the six bullets at once at the six members, then the Judgment Chain in her heart will activate killing her only after she sent all the memories she wants to send.
Memories about the chain guy and his abilities and the information the spiders dearly need to know about their leader, the fact he became unable to use Nen and need their help to solve the problem.
"Eh?! So you really were manipulated by him...?!" Phinks put his guard up thinking she's manipulated by the chain guy.
"Phinks!!!" Shouted Nobunaga before adding, "Let's trust her. She's Paku." And so did every other member did, putting their trust in her.
Pakunoda was ready to fire, which will end her life, losing the spider one of its most important legs... Until she heard the Devil's whisper, a whisper that reverberated in everyone's ear.
The Devil that watched the entire scene play out only appearing once he deemed it's time to show himself, time for the deal with the devil to take place... So the devil whispered, "Hi..."
