[JOJO Golden Wind Continued] The Arrogant Man

"Four. Gold Chapter"

On May 2006, 5, Giorno received an emergency call in the early morning when the debris of the sun was about to spill into the window.

Giorno also did not expect that this urgent call would ring twice in just one month, and the caller this time—it was Apache

After Apache directly cut Dang and left an address, only the blind tone of hanging up was left on the receiver

——It’s the flower field

Although Apache seems to be a senior who is not easy to get along with, he will never make fun of emergency calls. Giorno shook off the displeasure of being woken up and the sleepiness in his brain, and quickly set off to head for Apache secretly. Notified location

At this time, he chose to use this emergency call to notify him. Giorno guessed that Apache must not want others to know about it for the time being.

And when Giorno arrived at the agreed place, he saw Apache covered in muddy mud, as if he had rolled around in the muddy water, he couldn't even see his skin color clearly, and his usual meticulously raised The ends of the hair were also stained with pieces of mud, drooping due to gravity.

Apache spoke directly before he asked why

"It's a snake. The 'ambush' left by the opponent is a group of snakes. They hide in the puddles in the mountains during the day, and they will crawl out at night when the surface temperature drops. Snakes are also the method for the opponent to collect poppy fruits."

"So you came alone last night?"

"...Sorry, Giorno, I couldn't be sure at that time whether the other party knew you so well because they left 'eyes' on you."

"I can understand, but I hope you won't be so alone next time, Apache"

Apache responded with a perfunctory 'oh'

Giorno rubbed his forehead with some headache and sighed

"So are you injured and do you need medical treatment?"

"No, I'm not hurt"

Giorno glanced at the mud on Apache's body

"Is this group of snakes sensitive to heat? So you escaped from the group of snakes by 'buried alive'?"

"If you are buried alive, you will suffocate to death due to the compression of the soil. You should also know that if you want to breathe, your chest cavity must be exposed to the ground. So half of my body sank into the soil, and the ground by the puddle was very wet. Moisture can take away the temperature of my body. The other half of the body is covered by melancholy blues. The melancholy blues take myself as the benchmark, and return to the body that I was frozen by Gacho, covering myself. This way until the sun rises , after the surface temperature rises, I can leave.”

Giorno nodded

"It's good that you're fine, so what's the result you got yesterday?"

Apache took out a crumpled newspaper from his pocket, and Giorno unfolded it carefully after taking it, because the newspaper had been soaked in some water, and it would tear if he was not careful

——At the first glance, I saw the headlines of a certain [-]th-line star cheating, and then there were exaggerated urban legends

Giorno raised his head and glanced suspiciously at Apache, the meaning couldn't be more obvious: Can this kind of gossip really be counted as evidence?

"Please take a closer look!"

Apaki frowned, and said in an unhappy tone, having to appear in front of Giorno in this embarrassing posture already made him a little unhappy now

Giorno touched his nose to hide his slight embarrassment at this time, and continued to look down at the tabloid in his hand

"—the 'monster' of Turin?"

That's the name of the urban legend, and the content of the report is an interview that doesn't make sense.

The woman being interviewed is obviously very mentally disturbed. In the photo, she is insanely disheveled and her lips are raised, revealing her crushed gums

"I... am... I am... monster, monster... it's me..."

In the report, she seemed to have lost her ability to speak, repeating this sentence over and over again, like the single howling sound of an animal

The cause of the incident was a car accident a few months ago. It was rumored that a 'monster' that could change into another person's appearance appeared at that time. This woman was the one who confronted the 'monster' at that time

……

"The ability to become a substitute for others? Is this your answer?"

Giorno scans the report to make sure he hasn't missed any details

"I saw him tear his face open"

Apaki's scalp still feels a little numb when he thinks about that scene now, especially when he sees a face exactly like that in front of him, it feels like he is going to tear his face off as soon as he raises his hand in the next second

"But I guess that thing should also be able to copy your double ability, that's how he gave birth to those flowers and snakes"

"Apaki, but have you ever thought about..."

Giorno looked away from the newspaper and looked into Apache's eyes. Apa basically thought that Giorno would relax a little after learning that he didn't have any schizophrenia, but Giorno frowned. , with seriousness on his face, which is a bit more mature than five years ago

"Have you ever thought that if you think about the cause and result in reverse - the ability of the golden experience can also create facial skin tissue?"

"—Are you doubting yourself?"

Apache shouted violently, he clenched his fists and suppressed the urge to grab Giorno by the collar

"No, I never doubted myself...but..."

Giorno's face was a little pale, he closed his eyes, as if he was feeling something

"What happened in the past two days... made me feel like 'fate'"

"You also believe in fate?"

"Of course I won't believe it, but this time there are some things that I have to face."

Giorno opened his eyes, which were filled with the sky and clouds of Naples

"I think we have to make the assumption that each other is equal to another 'I'. If 'I' kills you, then 'I' will track you with golden experience to confirm that you are not really dead.'I 'He even changed into an enthusiastic high-level appearance to confirm whether 'Apaki' has really disappeared."

"That means I'm not dead"

"No... That might scare the snake away. Apache, since the other party thinks that this method of 'dividing'|will work, how about we follow that person's plan and see what he will do next? "

"But like you said, I will definitely be found by the other party."

"'Giorno' wanted to prove his innocence, kept the only remains of Apache, and tried to find evidence. What do you think of this reason?"

"you mean--"

Apache is not even sure whether Giorno intends to do what he thinks, after all, this idea is really beyond the norm

Giorno raised his finger and tapped on Apache's face

"What the golden experience can do, this golden experience can naturally do."

"...Then what are you going to do next?"

"I'm going to be the only 'transparent person' that he can't detect. Remember the fact that the creatures he created always find me after I turn them into butterflies? I guess they are me and that People are regarded as the same person, so these creatures will use a "proximity principle" when looking for people. I can't find him by this method, and he can't find me by this means. What I want to investigate is his power , and some of his identities, the drug line business that popped up recently is not small, he may have attracted a lot of subordinates, and even some people in the 'enthusiasm' may have defected... All these need to be investigated, if the opponent is' I', then we have to be so careful."

"It's not your habit to take risks alone"

Giorno shook his head

"I'm not alone, I also need your intelligence team to assist in the investigation"

"You know I don't mean it"

"Don't worry, even if you are worried about me, you should also rest assured about the ability of the Requiem, I will bring the Requiem"

"Wrong, you are more reassuring than Requiem... By the way, do you want to tell them about this plan?"

"Of course it's up to you...because you are 'Giorno'"

"If... I mean, if such a 'motivation' is really found, do you think 'Giorno' will do such a thing?"

"Why do you ask that, Giorno?"

Bugarati looked at the young man on the swivel chair, and a guess gradually took shape in his mind

——If the target of that mysterious enemy is Giorno, he will definitely not simply stop there. The other party will definitely do more things that he would never do in the identity of Giorno in the future!

"The 'Giorno' in my impression would never do such a thing."

Buccarati replied, with a short sentence, he gave all his trust

"Really? But please don't trust anyone, Bugarati"

'Giorno' turned his head back, looked at Buccarati, and then he stretched out his hand, an illusory purple palm emerged from his hand, raised his index finger, and put it on his lips

"Shhh-"

It is a notification and a reminder.

After experiencing the soul-changing thing, Buccarati must have been able to understand that the 'substitute' represents the soul in the body.

And the hint of melancholy blues also means that the other party may change into anyone like melancholy blues!

2006年5月7日，4：00PM

It was an unprecedented quarrel between the first and second in command of "Passionate". The relationship between the two people has not been better since learning of Apache's death. After the Black|Hand|Party, Bugarati stepped into Giorno’s room for the second time, as if to say goodbye

- The two are about to part ways

everyone thinks so

(I will take away those who are willing to 'follow' me, there may be ghosts among the remaining people here, you have to be careful)

Bucciarati wrote on the paper with a pen

(Fuge will go with you, G: It is recommended to divide the troops into two groups)

While cursing loudly, the blond youth drew a rough 'T' on the paper, which was the shape of the Italian land. He clicked a circle on the left side of the 'T', and the corresponding position was—— Genoa

That is the main sphere of influence of another group of northern Italian gangsters besides Rome!

Bugarati understands

Finally wrote a sentence on the paper

(Now everyone knows that 'Giorno' is good at swearing)

'Giorno' shrugged

(He said let me do whatever I want, it’s best to act in a down-and-out way)

Buccarati pulled back the paper, hid it inside his body with a zipper, and then slammed the door away

2006年5月8日，10：00AM

Rome - the capital of Italy, is also a famous historical city in Italy. People are amazed at how closely the "old" and modern buildings are connected in this city. Everyone feels that the cobweb-like streets and lanes in Rome somehow If you walk casually, you will be pleasantly surprised to see an ancient building with a long history

The Pantheon is such a surprise

The "Pantheon" built about 2000 years ago is one of the most complete preserved ancient Roman buildings. The 43.3-meter huge dome and the round hole in the dome are its main features.After several generations of historical changes, its interior has been transformed into a church. There are an endless stream of tourists on weekdays, but today there are only a few people in the temple for some reason.

A blond young man in a grass-green suit sat in the front row of the benches on the right side of the church, as if praying for something.

At this moment, with a loud noise, the door of the palace was violently pushed open, and a group of blatantly armed men and horses broke in. According to the number of people, this group of people was four times as many as the original number of people in the palace.

A thin middle-aged man walked out from behind the crowd, wearing a brown overall that was incompatible with this group of people, even stained with dust, his facial features were ordinary and not impressive at first glance —except he has only one eye.

One of his eyes was open, but a gold blindfold was over the other.

Rumor has it that this happened because one eye was gouged out by the enemy in order to protect the drug lord he was loyal to when he was young.

And the boss who was protected by him always remembered his kindness, he sat on the second in command like a rocket all the way, until the first in command was imprisoned, he became the new in command.

At the time of the civil strife in "Passionate" four years ago, this person saw the right time, took Rome as his base, occupied the port in central Italy, and vigorously developed his power.

——This is the one-eyed Leon who is currently the most powerful man in the Roman underground gang

The blond young man stood up from the horizontal chair, smiled politely and nodded

"Hello, Mr. Leon"

"'Passionate' boss Giorno Giovanna's deputy, Panacorta Fugo?"

One-eyed man raising eyebrows

"Yes, because I heard that you don't want a stand-in messenger to participate in this transaction, so I will meet you instead of the boss."

Boss Passionate's deputy, Panakoda Fugo, has no substitute ability, and no one has ever seen him use a substitute. It is well known that he obtained the matching status solely by his own intelligence.

The one-eyed man laughed twice

"After all, the messy abilities of your stand-in messengers really make me uneasy."

The reason why "Passionate" was able to dominate in Italy with a small number of about 200 members was because most of its members were stand-in messengers, possessing special abilities that are enviable by ordinary people, and it is by no means comparable to other underworld organizations .Many people who were taught by stand-in messengers still remember the fear at that time, which is why the mafia in Northern Italy are so afraid of 'enthusiasm'

"We can understand your request"

Fugo replied

The one-eyed man walked forward with his subordinates, sat on the rows of horizontal chairs on the left, and pretended to pray

"Please forgive me for coming here to refuse this business."

Fugo's gentle voice broke the silence

The man's only remaining one eye opened suddenly, and the sharp eyes pierced in the direction of Fugo

"You betrayed Giovanna?"

The blond youth shook his head unmoved

"No, this is what BOSS means, I hope you can understand"

On the other side of the hall, the moment Fuge’s voice just fell, swords were on the verge of breaking out. A few bullets hit the concave grid on the roof of the temple, and the sound of bullets landing echoed in the hall.

Leon raised his hand, pressed it down again, and the gun aimed at Fugo was retracted neatly

The muscles around the one-eyed man's mouth twitched, and then he sneered and said

"No need to pretend, you have already betrayed Giovanna and turned to Buccarati, right? But, fortunately, Giovanna still has some foresight. I hope that after you meet this person, you can stick to your decision."

The one-eyed man clapped his hands twice, but what he ushered in was a dead silence

He looked towards the palace gate in surprise, and clapped his hands twice, but no one responded.

"This is not just a transaction between us, Mr. Leon. The most powerful gangs in South Italy and China are about to join forces, and a group of people will definitely not sit idly by."

"You leaked the news?"

One-eyed man gritted his teeth

"The news has already been leaked, I just let it spread a little further"

The blond youth answered neither humble nor overbearing

Before the words fell, a high-pitched voice broke into the conversation again

"Is this the person you're looking for?"

I saw another group of people walking into the dark hall, and a pink-haired girl was being detained by them

"Italy's 'big star' and the daughter of the former BOSS of 'Enthusiasm', Trish Una"

A middle-aged man with a kind face stepped out of the crowd, his slightly squinted eyes spattered from time to time

"I hope Mr. Fogg and Mr. Leon don't mind me joining this conversation"

He is officially the second in command of the Genoese Mafia, Rigato Marco

Fugo stood up, five years later, he was already a qualified gentleman on the outside

"Of course I don't mind, Mr. Malcolm."

On the other hand, the one-eyed man's complexion was already brewing with anger. Taking the hostage away is like slapping him in the face. How can it not be shameful?

"certainly,"

The middle-aged man's gaze turned to the left, in the direction of Leon

"I hope our conversation won't take too long, after all, the next group of 'reinforcements' will arrive at some point."

"Of course it won't take long"

Youth promises.

And at the moment when his jaw was about to drop, a tragic howl suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

I saw that the knots that were originally wrapped around the pink-haired girl's wrists and ankles were wrapped around the neck of the man who was detaining her like a rubber collar!The man struggled to grab the rubbery knot, but his face was still purple from suffocation

A fishhook easily picked up the girl, and instantly pulled her behind Fuge

Immediately afterwards, an ice wall blocked the gate of the palace

Trixie loosened his wrist, and the hot girl put on a fighting posture in front of her

"If you run away in their sphere of influence, it is very likely that they will fall into their hands again, so I have no choice but to come to you after the reconciliation."

Fugo nodded appreciatively.

"You did a great job, Trish"

The reason why the stand-in ability can be feared by this group of ruthless characters who kill people without blinking an eye is because when facing some stand-ins, the traditional gun bullets lose any effect

The rounds of bullets seemed insignificant in front of the pink stand-in. As soon as the hot girl let go of her palm, the bullets fell to the ground like steel balls.

"You're pretty skilled, Trish, I want to learn this trick too!"

Naranja praised

"After all these years, I have never given up training on hot girls... because I think, sooner or later, there will be such a day"

……

Does the other party have no substitute messenger at all?Fogg thought that was impossible.

So everything is just for a quick decision, and the number of substitute messengers is definitely dominated by 'enthusiasm'

The sound of an engine of an airplane the size of a model seemed so insignificant in this chaos, it flew into the sky and dropped several seemingly insignificant capsules

negligible--

——but "violently" like an explosion

Once shot it will bring death

It is an overwhelming tsunami, no matter how strong the place it passes by, it can only be trampled ruthlessly like a dead leaf in the end

No one knows that Fugo, the deputy of Boss 'Enthusiasm' also has the ability to stand in, because no enemy can leave alive

……

"Come with me, Fugo, and I will use your talents, including your ferocious and angry impulses."

When Fugo met Bugarati for the first time, he said this

And now Fugo has indeed done what he said at the time, unreservedly venting this burst of "anger" in the hands of the enemy

What he sees is——the anger that can burn the enemy to the ground

——Like a black wind sweeping in, it brings rapid fear and death

Another ice wall stopped the gangsters who were trying to rush towards Fuge's people. The moment the blood stained the ice wall, it froze, and the limp and dissolved corpse left scratches on the blood wall.

Fugo pulled his tie loose and said casually

"When the virus spreads, it is recommended that everyone maintain a certain social distance"

Fugo looked up and looked at the only light source of the Pantheon—the hollow dome

"And...More UV rays"

Sunshine, the only way to survive under the purple smoke, and at this moment, the only light spot cast from the dome is shining on the side wall of the dome

Light will not give forgiveness to anyone, all deaths under the virus are treated equally

……

Fuge withdrew his gaze from the sunlight, turned his head to look at the blue-haired man beside him

"Clean up the virus with ice, please, Kacho"

"Tch, it's all about taking money for work"

I saw icicles spread from Jiaqiu's feet up to the dome, and several sharp icicles fell down. The sunlight, refracted by the ice, shone on every corner of the hall, silently cleaning up the 'smoke of gunpowder'

"Haha Fuge, how did I do this time!"

Naranja slapped Fugo on the shoulder suddenly

"You did a great job, Naranja. I'm really sorry to have to call you here at this time. Let's go back and rest and prepare for tomorrow's exam."

Fuge rubbed his sore shoulders, but he didn't lose his temper

"Huh? Exam? I'm not going!"

"What did you say?!"

"Now I have reached the 'age' where I can make my own decisions! I hope I can be with you in the future. I don't think I need to study anymore, and my education is now more than Bugarati's!"

"That's not the reason for you to avoid the exam, okay! Idiot!"

——It seems that Fugo's 'anger' has not been vented only on the enemy

"Fugo..."

trish opened

"I think we might 'work' together in the future"

"You're not going to be a model anymore?!"

"Actually, every day I think about whether my identity will be exposed one day, and what will I do after being exposed. In fact, living like this is quite scary... One day I will join you, I have always thought so with "

"You don't need to worry about this anymore. You will be safe in Italy in the future, Trish. Bugarati has already set off for Genoa with two teams of stand-in messengers in secret. He will win. Before we We did not choose to expand the scope because the internal problems have not been cleared up. Now the time has come, so our plan is to take this opportunity to realize the unification of the Italian underworld in one fell swoop.”

After all, Fugo took out a small 'compass' from his bosom, but his weight was like a heavy iron block, which proved that Bugarati was far away from him.

"Ah... Buccarati should be here soon."

***

Mista took the gauze and sharp tweezers from his hand, gritted his teeth and picked out the stray bullets in his body, and the cold sweat from the pain soaked his back

"call……"

After clipping the last stray bullet and throwing it on the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief

"At least it's not as painful as Giorno's treatment, but I have to give him another treatment when I go back... Hiss"

Mista gasped again as he counted the bullet holes in himself

"One, two, three...fortunately not four"

he said thankfully

At this moment, he received a text message on the mobile phone pinned to his waist

That is the result of Giorno's investigation, the stronghold of the 'enemy' minions in Sicily

"Hey, there's a new life"

"...But you still have to be careful. After all, 'luck' doesn't favor 'reckless' people. At least you should save your life for Giorno to heal."
