kono taiyou wa yoru mo kageyaite yume wo miru
This sun is shining even at night, dreaming
soshite isogu kimi no me ni
And then you who was hurrying
yakitsuite hanarenai
Burned it into your eyes and it never came back
owarinaku tsuzuku uta
This song that continues without end
omoi sae koete yuku
Goes beyond even our thoughts
kimi no me ni utsuru youni
I've left open the depths of my heart
mune no oku aketa mama
So they can be reflected in your eyes
I wonder what Leader's got planned for us?
We are thieves. We here to steal.
What do you think he's after this time?
Must be game.
Most dangerous game in the world.
Makes me curious.
But it's just a game, after all.
Well, we'll know what we are after when we get there.
Everything.
We're going to make off with all the loot from the underground auction.
Are you serious, Leader?
We'll make ourselves enemies of every gang alive.
Are you scared?
I'm ecstatic!
Give us the order, Leader!
I give you permission... to kill them.
Step right up!
A Conditional Auction is about to get underway!
And the prize is...
a diamond ring worth three million jenny!
Complete with a certificate of authenticity!
And the game is... arm wrestling.
The first one to beat this boy gets the ring.
And it'll only cost you 10,000 jenny to participate.
All right then, let's start the auction!
Hey, guys, form a line.
No way! I'm going, no matter what!
I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna go!!
Can you hear that?
She's out of control.
All right, everyone...
We're taking a short break. We'll be back in a moment.
Hey, Gon, Killua, let's go eat.
We'd better grab a bite now
since it looks like we'll be here for a long haul.
But finish up in five minutes, okay, Gon?
250 wins means we've made 2.5 million jenny so far.
That's not too bad.
But to get to our goal of 8.9 billion,
Gon needs to win over 800,000 more matches.
We have a long way to go.
Gon can do it!
Nothing's impossible for this guy!
The problem is time.
The auction will be long over by the time we make enough money.
Is the Mafia meeting tonight?
Yeah, I think the underground auction is about to begin.
The one that us normal folk can't get into.
I heard that the Mafia is running this one.
So it makes sense that most of the auctioneers are Mafia too.
Really? I didn't realize you knew so much, Leorio.
Well, unlike you guys, I did my homework before coming here.
Anyway...
The streets of this town are dangerous at night
with all types of criminals crawling around.
Hey, what's the deal?
Yeah, let's go already!
Kinda getting dangerous over here too.
Well, about time we start again.
Okay, this Conditional Auction is once again open!
After crying so much, she's now finally fallen asleep.
But there's no guarantee what she'll do once she wakes up.
Of course, we're going to ensure that she gets every item she wanted.
But it was her goal to win the items herself on this trip.
So, when she wakes and finds out she missed the auction...
I can't imagine how disappointed she'll be.
All right. I'll cut my plans short and make my way there.
For now, make sure to get the first item, the Queen's Mummy.
That should cheer her up a bit.
Yes, sir.
It's me. How's it going over there?
Nothing unusual.
Everything appears to be normal.
Understood. We'll let you know if anything changes.
They're certainly not taking any chances, are they?
Nobody but the Mafia Community's own security personnel
can get within 500 meters of this building.
If they didn't, that neighborhood would be filled with tough guy types.
It would be like advertising that something illegal was going on.
I suppose so.
May I ask you a question?
Sure.
The Scarlet Eyes...
What exactly do they mean to you?
And why would you ask me that?
I don't have any ulterior motive.
I'm only curious.
It's just that when Dalzollene showed us the slide of them,
your heartbeat became very erratic.
Endless wrath...
That's what the rhythm sounded like to me.
It seems there's no point in lying to you.
I belong... to the Kurta Clan.
Normally, our eyes are blue and turn red only when agitated.
That's why I wear these black contact lenses — to escape detection.
I'm searching for the eyes of my brethren.
That is why I took this job.
I have to reclaim them, no matter what the cost.
Are you going to tell Dalzollene?
I won't... I don't want to be killed.
So you can tell that too?
The beating of a heart is honest.
Just now as you spoke, yours was calm,
yet it was also very cold.
That's the melody of someone who's willing to sacrifice his own life for his will.
The rhythm suggests that while you bear me no ill will,
you'd kill me if you had to.
Why did you apply for this job?
Why do you ask?
No reason. Just curious.
I'll tell you, but how will you know if I'm lying or not?
I'll judge by your eyes.
I'm also a Pro Hunter.
I guess you could call me a Music Hunter.
I'm looking for a particular piece of sheet music.
You are not lying, but...
Your eyes show that you're not telling me the whole truth.
Well, I guess you are not far from the mark.
What I'm looking for is unique.
The Sonata of Darkness.
Supposedly, it was composed by Satan himself.
It has four solo parts: one for piano, violin, flute, and the harp.
They say anyone who performs or listens to it will be horribly cursed.
That sounds like an urban legend.
It's hard to believe that such a thing could really exist.
This is the price I had to pay for listening to the flute solo.
Just one movement was powerful enough to do this to me.
Would you like to see an old picture of me?
My friend who played it died. His whole body was like my arm...
His friend had taught him the solo on the condition that he never play it.
However, we were drunk and merry that day.
With this deformity, I also got this ability.
But I'd exchange it all to be how I was before.
I don't want anyone else to suffer like we did.
And that is why I have to find it... and destroy it forever.
The reason I chose this job was because
I thought that the quickest way to find the devil was to be among evil people.
Not so different from you, is it?
Let's get back to work.
The auction is about to begin.
Hey! What're you...
This crowd is pretty impressive.
A lot of them are Mafia capos...
but some of the bosses are here as well.
That's unexpected.
What is?
I mean, it's only an auction, right?
Why don't they just send representatives?
This place also provides a chance for the families to flaunt their wealth and influence.
And the Community receives five percent of the proceeds as commission.
It sort of works as paying tribute.
It presents them with a great opportunity to demonstrate their fiscal power.
Here, reputations are made and lost, as well as one's public image.
I've even heard that certain Mafia families have bankrupted themselves
by getting into bidding wars that drove the prices too high.
Really? Sounds like our boss might be in danger too.
I mean, money's no object, right?
What the hell's going on?
What's the problem, lvlenkov?
Rotferri, Trink, Remi, Echigo...
nor anyone from their families have shown up yet.
What?! Don't they attend this auction every year?
Exactly. And the other thing they have in common is
that they all had their fortunes read by the Boss yesterday.
I get it... That tip was actually the Boss's fortunes.
Things could get pretty ugly.
It doesn't really matter who attacks, from where or how.
We just do the job we were hired for, right?
"The basement where all prices rise... will become your bedchamber."
"Do not descend stairs you've never climbed."
"In numbers, do not compete with others."
Ladies and gentlemen.
I'm glad you could join us here tonight.
Now then, we'll skip formalities and introductions,
and kill you as quick as possible!
Get behind me!
Protect me, balloon soldiers!
Eleven Assistants!
Nen bullets. He's an Emitter too.
They blew through my Nen and even inflicted fatal wounds...
Each round holds so much force.
Tocino!
Get outta here! You've gotta warn them!
The Boss's prediction was right on the money.
Baise, contact the leader...
Well, that didn't take much.
I had nothing to do at all.
Okay... Blinky.
Suck up all the corpses and the personal belongings from this room.
Plus the chairs.
This guy still breathing.
Who the heck... are you guys?
Not that it matters because you're all as good as dead.
The Community will track you and your families down.
Every single one... will suffer the pain of hell...
Family? What's that?
Something's happened.
A bunch of cars just pulled up to the front entrance.
Their guns are drawn.
I'd better call the leader.
All right.
You two should head over there immediately.
I'll contact the others and give them orders.
Let's go.
Right!
There is no one... left here!
There's nobody here. They're all gone!
Yeah, of course we checked!
It seems as though everyone in the hall has gone missing.
Search the building!
The Mafia security is just arriving too.
It's getting pretty chaotic.
Move it!
Tocino and others should've left some kind of clue behind.
Have a look around.
We'll try.
I'll be waiting.
I'll look over there!
What's up with this?!
Like I know!
Dammit.
Look at this.
Baise's bracelet.
I see...
I doubt that they would have allowed themselves to be captured.
I think it's safe for us to assume that all of them have been killed.
I want you to wait there until we find out how the Community will react.
I'll give you further instructions as soon as possible.
Every item up for auction has been stolen!
How the hell did they get out of here?
They must've gone off the roof!
Yes, I understand.
All right, spread the news to all the families who are here in Yorknew.
Be on the lookout for any suspicious-looking airships.
And take their leader alive.
A reward is being offered by the Community
to the family that catches them.
Really? So it's exactly as the fortune predicted.
I feel a bit nervous with only a few of our men left,
but we cannot fall behind the other families.
And we've still got to get that mummy back as well.
Do all that you can but remember to keep a strict watch over Neon.
Yes, sir.
Kurapika and Melody.
Linssen and I will continue to guard the Boss.
You two rendezvous with Squala and the others
at the Central Square Overpass to begin searching for the culprits.
Do you think Baise and the others are really dead?
I don't want to believe it, but probably. But let's not discuss now!
I know.
Even though we were tipped beforehand,
we still couldn't do anything to prevent this.
Anyone capable of orchestrating a robbery of this magnitude
against the Mafia must have incredible Nen abilities.
There's only one organization I can think of who could pull this off.
The Spiders. They're here in this city.
C'mon, get in! There's no time to waste!
There was nothing there?
Yeah, the vault was completely empty.
According to the auctioneer, who was the only person who knew anything,
all the items were relocated somewhere else a few hours ago.
As if... they expected this would happen all along.
Their timing was too perfect.
Perhaps... there's a "Judas" among us.
No, there isn't.
Besides, I don't consider Judas to be a traitor.
The story goes that Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty silver coins.
It's hard to imagine how much the Mafia would have to offer one of us to betray our own.
Think of the merit.
What would that person have to gain from selling us to the Mafia?
Money? Fame? Status?
Is there anyone among us...
who would actually be satisfied with any of those things?
Nobody's like that.
Right?
Also, there's something else that doesn't add up.
If there was an informant, then their response to the situation was pitifully inadequate.
We're Class A bounties.
If they had really known we were coming...
shouldn't the security have been on higher alert?
From what you tell me...
the Mafia acted like they had some information
and decided to be a little more cautious than usual.
Another strange thing is...
when they moved the items to another location,
it seems they didn't inform the security personnel or the guests.
So here's my theory.
Even though they had an informant...
the info probably wasn't all that specific.
But despite that fact,
someone high-up in the Mafia Community trusted that information enough.
Well... I still don't get it.
I mean, who was passing what information to whom?
Anyway, what do you want us to do?
Were you able to find out where the goods have been transported?
I tried...
But even in his dying breath, the auctioneer guy said he didn't know.
Feitan worked him over pretty good, so I gotta believe it's true.
I feel most sorry for him.
We did get the info on who would know where they moved the items.
It seems he's a member of something called the "Shadow Beasts."
Apparently, each of the Ten Dons brought in their best man to create this elite active force.
Who are these Ten Dons?
Who are they?
They are the promoters of the Mafia Community,
who are heads of large organizations
that have territories in ten regions across six continents.
Since there are ten of them, most people just call them the Ten Dons.
This is the one time of the year
that they all gather in one place to discuss their plans and issue orders.
Really.
And the ones who carry out those orders are the Shadow Beasts?
All right...
From the fact that these Shadow Beasts were not involved in the security,
we can deduce that they did not know we would intervene.
You're right.
Now that you mention it, the security was laughably poor.
So, how did they transport the auction items?
Right. That's the thing.
Evidently, one of the Shadow Beasts showed up all by himself.
Now this 25-square-meter vault was loaded from top to bottom.
He stepped into the vault carrying nothing. And he walked out carrying nothing.
The vault was totally cleaned out.
It was a tall guy who called himself "Owl."
I guess he must have a Nen ability similar to Shizuku's.
Probably.
The Mafia should have realized by now that since 500 guests vanished...
that they must be dealing with Nen-users.
Oh, too bad! Who's next?!
The best active force of the organization, the Shadow Beasts, huh?
I haven't been this excited in a long time.
Would you mind if I fought them?
Of course not.
All you have to do is create a big enough disturbance...
and then they'll come to you.
The Spiders...
I'm finally face-to-face with them.
Next time on Hunter x Hunter:
Phantom Troupe x The Shadow Beasts x Community!
Chain Jail.
