Chapter 107: Beautifully Done  

.......

Melody shook her head though for a different reason, "I don't know and I won't risk finding out."

The Zoldyck nodded, "I thought so... and well, you know what to do Pakunoda, right?"

Suddenly Melody's eyes widened as she noticed she can't move and felt like there is something invisible tied around her body not allowing her to move any part of her body though she can move her mouth.

So she asked, not that fearful, the situation not scaring her that much, "Just what do you want to do?"

"Don't worry about it, it's not anything dangerous for you... Read her memory regarding the incident and you should know the possible danger of doing this, right?" Ordered Yasuo.

Pakunoda nodded in understanding, understanding of what he meant when he said she could possibly die, and in this case, she could also get disfigured like the lady in front of her even though she will only hear the music piece through watching her memories.

She took a deep breath as she walked towards Melody then simply touched her head and closed her eyes.

She found those particular memories quite easily which is due to the previous conversation triggering those certain memories making it easier for Pakunoda to access them.

Paku tried to her nervousness but couldn't as her life is on the line and she has no choice but to do as he says and so she watched the memories.

The scenes of the incident, listened as the piece of music or what's called the sonata of darkness started playing out yet nothing happened to either of them, not to Melody and not to Paku.

Paku retracted her hands and opened her eyes which brought a smile to Yasuo's face knowing she was successful though he already thought the chances of success are high.

After all, Melody still remembers that memory which means she can hear the music piece in her head whenever she wants yet nothing has happened to her yet leading him to believe that the song needs to actually be played by someone to activate the curse.

Yasuo closed his eyes as a vertical eye on the crow on his shoulder blinked again... then opened his eyes again as the crow disappeared. "Sorry about that but if you were to willingly allow us to look into your memories, that may lead to some unforeseen consequences so I hope you understand."

Simply explained Yasuo and before she can react, she was teleported away to the same alley they were previously in.

She took a deep breath calming herself down before going on her own way.

After teleporting her away, Yasuo looked at Paku ordering, "Transfer the memories of that specific incident to me."

Paku nodded getting out of her daze of comprehending all the new memories she just got and the horrible incident that happened, much more disgusting than anything the spiders ever did but not worst.

And so, an idea spurted in her mind... Using that piece of music to get rid of the threat that is Yasuo and any possible threat the spiders could face in the future.

She started concentrating her Aura on her revolver and aimed at him then fired with Yasuo gladly receiving the bullet to his head.

He closed his eyes processing all the new information he received and noting that she actually didn't try to do anything... for now.

From her heartbeats when she read Melody's memories and after, she's definitely planning on using the song to her advantage... But can she?

The moment Yasuo fully processed the new information is the moment everything within his view changed.

As if time started to rewind itself instantly and so he found himself sitting on a chair in his hotel before even meeting Melody. He found himself a few minutes before he even met her.

He found himself in the same hotel he spent the day in with Paku taking another room at the same moment the crow on his shoulder blinked for the first time activating a certain ability of his.

He saw the future and he saw the different possible futures within that said future and... he remembers everything.

Yasuo remembered everything he saw in that future and remembers the information Paku sent him yet she doesn't since in her view, what he saw never happened.

She has never met Melody and never used her ability on her hence never received those certain memories nor does she know of the song or the entire incident.

Yasuo however does remember the song called the sonata of darkness to heart and knows how the entire incident played out yet both Melody and Paku remember nothing just like he wants.

He took a sip of coffee the same coffee he drank in the future he saw and released a small smile.

'Of course I won't give her a weapon she can use against me nor will give her important information especially for my next targets, such information better remain a secret with me.'

Suddenly he started stroking his earring as his eyes seem to shine with interest and curiosity.

'Now that I got a bit of the musical piece I can start experimenting with it though I wonder... If I broadcast the song to the net what'll happen? Will everyone listening to it receive the same fate or is this a limit to the curse?'

'Well, I have time to experiment... I guess I need Illumi's help again. hopefully, the song shows its effect even if played by someone manipulated.' After thinking about it for a minute, Yasuo picked his phone up and just looked at the blank screen as if expecting something... and well, what he expected happened as the phone started ringing.

He answered directly hearing Illumi from the other line, "Are you still in the city? If so then can you take us back home?"

"Sure, I'm also planning on going back so I'll be there soon."

Directly after that, he took Paku with him through a portal to meet with Illumi and Kalluto as well as Zeno and Silva then took his portal route to the Anrika continent going back home.

They of course noticed Paku going with him and they know exactly who she is but didn't care as they're used to his peculiarity.

Yasuo took Paku to his house and left her there alone which he wouldn't have done if the lab next to it actually has something in it or if anyone else is in the house, he did leave Alluka with Morena for a reason after all.

He appeared in the Zoldyck mansion in front of a specific, knocked on the door, and waited until he heard the hoarse voice, "Enter."

The young Zoldyck entered seeing the oldest of the Zoldycks sitting on a chair with a cup of tea in his hand and took a seat facing him.

"I postponed this conversation for quite a while, didn't I?" The young Zoldyck stated looking at Maha or Zigg his original name.

The oldest known living assassin in the world nodded agreeing, "You did... I thought you will come to talk to me years ago, I thought you'll talk to me directly after Netero told you of what happened so Imagine my surprise noticing you not mentioning the subject at all."

"Well, I had things to prepare else talking to you would've been useless now, wouldn't it?"

"It would be useless for your methods whatever they are but not for my method... It's unfortunate for my feelings that a Zoldyck such as you were born but I'm glad that happened as my method is well, there are quite a lot of variables in it.

I wanted to make up for my mistake and redeem myself but..." Zigg closed his eyes slowly explaining with a hidden relief deep in his heart.

A hint of interest light up within Yasuo's eyes, "I'm quite interested in hearing what your method is."

"It's actually quite simple. Creating an ability that will counter or make use of the loophole and appeared to be much harder than I thought as even someone as talented as I took more than a decade to do so.

And we might be talking about slightly different things..."

"And you were able to do so... When?" Asked the young Zoldyck ignoring the last remark knowing full well what the old man is talking about.

"Not long before Alluka's birth... But It's quite restricted so I made sure to use it only when necessary. Your method, what is it?" Explained Zigg before asking.

"Well, I still don't know everything about the incident so I need to confirm which of the conclusions I made are true. And to do that I brought someone with an ability suited for the job."

The old assassin nodded not questioning any further, instead, he remarked allowing the young assassin to do what he wants, "Well, as long as you're confident there won't be any compilation then use it."

Yasuo let out a small smile as his eyes turned completely blank with a vertical eye appearing on the crow... It blinked... Yasuo opened his eyes, eyes shining in interest and fascination in what he saw, "Done."
