Leaving aside whether it would be seen, if it consumed significantly more electricity than usual after being activated…
It would very likely attract the attention of Father Litzol of the church.
However, if it was during the screening, with the animation running, then a slight increase in electricity consumption would not be too noticeable.
Moreover, when it came to sneaking in, Moge always felt that the church was far from simple.
The fact that such a grand and imposing structure could stand within Meteor City was proof enough.
Not to mention that after Father Litzol discovered Chrollo's talent and realized how intelligent the child was…
He was able to directly approach the Elder of Meteor City and say:
"The child named Chrollo is extremely clever, loves to study, and will certainly have a great future."
"His ideas often surprise me. I hope to bring him before the Elder Council to hear his thoughts."
This was Father Litzol's recommendation.
The crucial point was that Father Litzol could communicate directly with the Elder of Meteor City.
That alone was something very few people in Meteor City could accomplish.
Even more surprising was that after hearing Father Litzol's suggestion, the Elder not only took it seriously but even carefully considered it.
That was highly unusual.
Furthermore, Moge also knew something else.
Father Litzol was not only familiar with the Elder of Meteor City…
He also maintained connections with certain mysterious individuals.
For example
The undertaker known as Miss Lianke from Mist Forest Valley.
After Sarasa's death, it was Father Litzol who contacted this mysterious woman to handle her body.
She managed to restore Sarasa's originally mutilated and fragmented corpse back to its original form.
Machi had been deeply shocked by that ability, which later drove her to seek out Miss Lianke.
After earning her recognition, Machi went to Mist Forest Valley to learn stitching techniques from her.
Perhaps it was due to that influence that Machi not only mastered extraordinary stitching skills but also developed her cold, pragmatic nature.
When Miss Lianke first appeared, many people speculated that she might be Kikyo Zoldyck, Killua's mother.
However, after further comparisons, that theory was dismissed.
She was simply a mysterious undertaker living near Meteor City.
And the fact that Father Litzol could contact such a person…
Made it clear that the church's background was far deeper than it appeared.
Moge concluded that the waters surrounding the church were too deep for him to handle at his current level.
In any case, he would be able to enter openly on the day of the screening.
There was no need to alert anyone prematurely.
Sneaking in beforehand was not a wise choice.
Having made up his mind, Moge slowly closed his eyes and began practicing Ten.
While his inventions were important, his own cultivation could not be neglected.
However, relying solely on his own efforts made progress slow and difficult.
He still needed proper guidance.
Meanwhile, the news that Chrollo was inviting the children of Meteor City to watch an animated film spread rapidly throughout the area.
Many children learned about it and eagerly awaited that day.
Finally, when the appointed day arrived
Children from all over gathered at the church.
At the entrance, they saw Chrollo, along with Shila and Sarasa, welcoming everyone.
Inside the church, Father Litzol was distributing food, greeting the children with a gentle and kind expression.
Although it was only simple flatbread, the children were extremely excited.
Being able to watch animation and receive food at the same time was more than enough to make them happy.
Uvogin, who had also come after hearing the news, spoke with rare admiration.
In a place like Meteor City, where resources were scarce, something like this was almost unheard of.
However
"Yo, Chrollo. Looks like you're making good use of the videotapes you took from me."
Uvogin walked up behind him and slapped his shoulder heavily.
"I'm really looking forward to today."
A fierce grin appeared on his face.
"I'm especially looking forward to what happens after it ends."
Although this event slightly improved Uvogin's impression of Chrollo…
The fact that those videotapes originally came from his territory still made him quite displeased.
"This is basically using my stuff for your own purposes!"
"I'm looking forward to it too."
Chrollo smiled brightly, showing an unusually cheerful expression even when facing Uvogin.
It was completely different from how he usually tried to avoid him.
"Hmph!"
Uvogin snorted but said nothing further.
Chrollo's gaze shifted past him and noticed a group approaching from behind.
"Yo, little Chrollo."
Phinks greeted him casually.
Compared to Uvogin, the atmosphere between Phinks and Chrollo was much more relaxed.
After all, Phinks would often try to steal from Chrollo, while Chrollo would trick him with useless items in return.
One stole, the other deceived neither side suffered much loss.
And since Phinks usually held the advantage, he didn't harbor much hostility.
Seeing Uvogin's reaction even made him feel amused.
"If you're still standing after dealing with Uvogin…"
Phinks grinned widely.
"Come play soccer with us later."
"It's been a long time since I played!"
"Maybe."
Chrollo replied politely as usual.
Then his eyes shifted toward Feitan standing beside Phinks.
That indifferent expression, paired with his oddly messy hair, gave off a rather striking impression.
But appearances were not what caught Chrollo's attention the most.
What stood out was the aura surrounding them.
Phinks and Feitan felt different from the other children.
It wasn't a physical change.
It was their mentality.
They no longer seemed like children drifting aimlessly through Meteor City, struggling day by day just to survive.
Instead, they carried a sense of purpose.
A direction.
A kind of burning drive.
"Is it because of that person?"
Chrollo's gaze moved further back, landing on the trio approaching behind them.
Machi he knew her.
Nobunaga he also recognized him.
But the young man in the center…
A completely unfamiliar face.
After searching his memory, Chrollo was certain he had never seen him before in Meteor City.
"You're Chrollo, right?"
As Moge stepped forward, Chrollo, still only ten years old, calmly observed him in return.
This was their first direct interaction.
Although Chrollo was still young, only slightly taller than Machi and Feitan, and his face retained a hint of childishness…
He already possessed a natural charisma that drew others toward him.
"Moge."
"Chrollo."
The two simply exchanged names.
Both of them silently chose not to bring up what had happened outside the church that day.
