Cleaning up the aftermath was a monumental hassle. Law's first step was to knock out Zizhu and Pianno.
After that, Kuro became the janitor. Growing larger, he walked around without a care, swallowing all the Chimera Ant's corpses and even the blood.
Although he was used to cooked food, given his compatibility with food, Chimera Ant's corpses inherently had a distinct flavor, so he didn't object.
As for ordinary human corpses, he could only say: Sorry, not interested.
While Kuro swept up the corpses, Law went to handle the surveillance and other records.
Once the Chimera Ants began their massacre, Law knew the aftermath couldn't be completely covered up, but he could only do his best.
Generally, humans who mastered Nen developed a mentality of being above ordinary people. Over time, Nen Users didn't have much concept of ordinary human life.
In their eyes, ordinary human lives didn't amount to much.
But Law wasn't the type to use any means necessary. What he had to do wasn't too complicated, so he finished faster than Kuro.
Then, he went to where Zizhu and Pianno lay unconscious and quietly watched Kuro work.
About half an hour later, all the Chimera Ant's corpses and blood on the scene were completely cleaned up by Kuro.
Kuro returned to his original form, lightly burped, then came before Law and immediately asked, "How many white pages did you gain?"
Hearing this, Law said casually, "Tens of thousands."
"Let me see quickly," Kuro said, seeming a bit anxious.
Seeing Kuro's reaction, Law shook his head slightly. "Since I've already agreed with you, there's no need for you to worry so much."
Though saying that, Law still summoned the book.
The white veins on the black cover had not only thickened but also become much brighter.
Kuro immediately leaped onto Law's shoulder, staring at the white veins on the book cover with a cold gaze, as if looking at a lifelong enemy.
The longer he looked, the colder the light in his eyes became.
He said, "Let's go. Head back to Milsy Wetlands quickly. Let me kill more Chimera Ants."
Perhaps because his true form was human, the Chimera Ants Law killed counted as human units in terms of their attributes.
Therefore, using the ability of God Hand to kill a Chimera Ant on the scene would blacken a page.
Given Law's overwhelming strength, he didn't need to use the essence of God Hand to exterminate these Chimera Ants.
But because of the agreement between him and Kuro, to give Kuro some corresponding benefits, the Chimera Ants he killed resulted in several hundred blackened pages.
At the same time, his actions, judged by causality, increased the white pages by tens of thousands.
This was actually something he hadn't anticipated.
The disparity between the two sets of data was simply terrifying. So even with the agreement between Kuro and Law, Kuro was extremely anxious.
You must know, when the white pages reached a certain differential, the book would give birth to another Nen Beast, then replace his position.
One black, one white.
Like day and night.
When night comes, there is no day.
When day comes, there is no night.
Just looking at Kuro's expression and tone, one could clearly feel the undisguised panic.
"Why are you panicking?" Law rolled his eyes.
'How could I not panic!'
This sentence, Kuro kept in his heart, not saying it out loud.
If he accidentally let the Nen Beast representing [White] in the book emerge and demonstrate more practical abilities than his own, Law might renege and never let him out again.
Then, everything would be over.
"Is there still something to do?"
Kuro suppressed the anxiety in his heart, casually glancing at Zizhu and Pianno lying on the ground.
"I'm thinking about how to handle these two," Law said.
"Isn't that simple? Let me eat them directly."
"No."
"Why not? Are you very close with them?" Kuro said righteously.
"No, but there's no reason to kill them."
Law pinched his chin, looking at the unconscious Zizhu and Pianno.
Kuro shook his head. "If you ask me, having strength should mean doing whatever you want, acting as you please. Why so many concerns?"
Law glanced at Kuro, thinking this guy was about to spout his theory of doing as one pleases again.
Then, he made a direct decision. "Take them with us."
As soon as he finished speaking, he headed towards the park's perimeter.
"Tch."
Kuro could only carry the two and follow Law.
They traveled swiftly for about an hour before Zizhu and Pianno woke up one after another.
"Huh?"
The first thing they felt upon waking was the pain from their injuries.
Before Law and Kuro took them away, they hadn't treated their injuries.
Moreover, Kuro had no intention of being considerate towards the two. He ran the whole way without any regard for their injuries.
Thus, upon waking, the two kept sucking in sharp breaths of cold air.
Hearing the commotion, Law waved for Kuro to stop.
Kuro abruptly halted. Using the residual momentum from stopping, his body shook, unceremoniously throwing the two off.
Zizhu's agility was decent, and despite being injured, he managed a proper roll to dissipate the impact.
Pianno wasn't so lucky. He hit the ground hard, crying out in pain several times.
The two landed one after another, enduring the pain while barely propping themselves up. They cautiously looked at Law and Kuro, not even having time to observe their surroundings.
At this moment, Law was no longer the thick thigh they wanted to cling to in their eyes, but a fierce god whose intentions towards them were unknown.
That's what they thought, but there was basically no danger to their lives.
Because if Law wanted to kill them, he wouldn't have just knocked them out.
Law looked at the cautious two, thought for a moment, and said seriously, "Treat today's events as if they never happened. Can you do that?"
"What?"
Zizhu and Pianno were stunned.
"Can you do that?" Law repeated with a smile.
The two still didn't fully understand, but like chicks pecking rice, they nodded rapidly.
"I say, just kill them. Saves trouble," Kuro said nonchalantly from the side.
Zizhu and Pianno had no time to figure out the background of this black panther, only feeling a chill down their backs, thinking, 'This panther is really something!'
"You, shut up."
Law glared at Kuro, then looked at the two and continued, "Remember my words well. Now, you can go."
Zizhu and Pianno exchanged a glance. Although they had many questions, now didn't seem the time or place to ask.
Pianno seemed to remember something and exclaimed softly, "My violin!"
"..."
Zizhu gave Pianno a speechless look, thinking, 'You're still thinking about your violin at a time like this?'
"Violin? You're a Music Hunter?"
Hearing 'violin', Law asked instinctively.
Among the Dark Sonata movements he had collected so far, only the violin solo movement was left.
Hearing Law's words, Pianno cautiously replied, "Yes."
"A Music Hunter who uses a violin..." Law murmured, then asked, "Do you know about the Dark Sonata?"
Pianno's pupils contracted. He immediately said, "Of course! That's the legendary score. Every professional Music Hunter knows about it!"
"Then, have you ever thought about finding the score?"
"Huh?"
Pianno was stunned, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Not just 'thought about finding' it… he had originally obtained the Dark Sonata violin solo movement first, which was why he embarked on the path of a Music Hunter.
Little did Law know, the last solo movement he was looking for was right before his eyes.
