Luo Shengmeng has no feelings today

April [-]nd, four o'clock in the morning.

Giorno and Mista were in charge of going to the statue at the entrance of Venice Station to get the OA-DISC that recorded the location of the boss, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa was going to a safe house in Venice to meet the members of the assassination team.

Holmaggio and Iruso of the assassination team are still seriously injured, and there are only five people left, the captain Risut, the members Prosciut, Bessie, Gaciu, and Meloni.

The Meroni stand-in [baby face] is a bit special, it has no offensive power itself, but it can create "children" through the blood of men and the body of women-that is, remote automatic control, self-awareness, materialized humanoid stand-in.

The production time is 3 minutes, and the "child" after birth will learn the actions of the mother and the instructions of Meloni to grow up - which is called "education" by Meloni.

The most special point is that the ability attributes of the "children" made by Meloni are determined according to their education level.

More education...means more power.

——This is probably another typical example of "knowledge is power".

But also because of this, Meloni is not suitable for appearing on the battlefield head-on.

Because the created [child] has the ability of self-awareness and automatic control, and is not limited by the range of the body at all, so he only needs to give instructions from a distance.

Meloni, who was not strong in fighting ability, stayed at the Venice station. He took the blood of his teammates and planned to find a woman with a bad personality and arrogance at the station as a mother, and then give birth to the "child", and then let it feel The source of blood is automatically traced to the past.

The rest of Risut, Proshut, Bessie, and Jiaqiu entered the different space of Rashomon, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke stayed outside. At around 04:30 in the morning, Giorno and the others Not long after getting the OA-DISC and reconciling with Bucgarati, Ryunosuke Akutagawa received an encrypted text message from Polnareff at the other end.

Perform quick sorting and cracking, and then replace it with complex characters to restore this garbled text message to its original appearance.

The content of OA-DISC is paraphrased:

1. The meeting place is the island of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, on the big bell tower of the church on the island

2. There are no stairs in the bell tower, only one elevator can go directly to the top of the tower.

3. The only people who can take the elevator are Trish and a guard. The guard is forbidden to carry knives, guns, mobile phones and other items.

4. After getting this OA-DISC, you must land on the island within 15 minutes. This OA-DISC is equipped with a transmitter, and Diablo can grasp the movement direction of the escort.

5. The remaining members are on standby on board and are not allowed to go ashore.

Because of the 15-minute limit, in order not to startle the enemy, the Bugarati team rented a speedboat for the first time and quickly traveled to the destination along the waterway.

And Ryunosuke Akutagawa, who was one step behind, also entered the different space decisively, controlling the petite but powerful Rashomon cat to move forward quickly. It is a little far from Venice Station to San Giorgio Maggiore Island, but if you rely on Rashomon's If it is fast, it can catch up.

According to the content of the instruction, Trixiu was finally escorted by Bugarati to the boss, while the rest of the people had to stay on the speedboat and were forbidden to go ashore.Although they are ready to betray and are not sure whether they are being watched, according to Polnareff, if Diablo finds out that all of them have passed together, he will definitely guess their intentions, and then Without saying a word, he activated his ability to evacuate the place and mobilized the guards to chase them down.

Therefore, at present, Buccarati must take Trixiu to the Great Clock Tower alone.

But this doesn't mean that Bugarati is facing the boss alone. According to Polnareff's news, Akutagawa has arrived nearby.

The other party turned the Rashomon cat into a crow, avoiding the elevator and hovering in the sky. When Buccarati led the restless Trish to the big bell tower of the church, Akutagawa looked through the eyes of Rashomon from the high place. Slowly follow around Bugarati.

Giorno handed the brooch with positioning to Buccarati as a lucky item.

……

Trish Una's last hope for his father disappeared completely after the other party cut off his hand.

She was almost killed by her biological father. If it wasn't for the Rashomon crow lurking in the window and Bugarati's desperate protection, she might have really died there.

Trish, whose palm was cut off, was brought into a different dimension by Akutagawa, and the members of the assassination team who were released attacked their enemies without saying a word. After receiving the signal, led by Giorno who held the computer and grasped the location of Bugarati, the others followed without hesitation.

Diablo's ability was as tricky as expected. He seemed to realize that he was in a predicament. The other party was vigilant and maintained the state of activating the predictive ability [Epitaph]. The time deletion was particularly clever. If it had not been expected, and Polnareff, the only one with combat experience, taught them in advance the [Blood Dropping Method], which can judge the moment when Diablo deletes the end of time, and they might really be caught off guard.

But despite this, with such an invincible ability, the betrayers still fell into a hard fight. The blood-dropping method taught by Polnareff was quickly used in reverse, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke had a headache picking up People, seriously injured and dying are all thrown into the different space, as long as there is still a breath, they can be saved.

Just as they had feared before, Diablo's predictive ability allowed him to perfectly avoid the entrance of Rashomon's different space.

Unable to pull people into the different space where time is frozen, the only thing on their side that can cause obvious damage is Risut's ability, manipulating the iron double to cause a lot of damage in Diablo's body, but he quickly Being targeted, it will take a certain amount of time to cause iron deficiency suffocation. Diablo will never give him this opportunity after he sees it through.

Very strong...!

Ordinary attacks are useless at all. As the leader of a gang organization, Diablo has a lot of combat experience, time deletion is just right, and his reaction ability is particularly sharp. He abruptly reversed the disadvantage of many to one.

After Akutagawa Ryunosuke threw the seriously injured Bucciarati into the different space, he did not hesitate to fight in person.

He stepped out of the entrance and exit of the different space.

Black-haired and black-eyed, only the young man with snow-white temples had a pale and sickly appearance. Rashomon's sword surged around him, and following the young man's orders, it turned into layers of cloth blades and wrapped around the young man.

"Rashomon, Heavenly Demon Wrapped Armor...!"

Mobilize the whole body of cloth to cover the body, and transform it into a Japanese ninja-like dress. The dark and red cloth perfectly outlines the slender figure of the young man. This layer of cloth is not only the power to drive Akutagawa's weak body muscles, but also a layer of firmness. armor.

Landing silently, with the center of gravity lowered and the toes pointing slightly, like a black lightning bolt, Ryunosuke Akutagawa rushed directly in front of Diablo.

"madness!"

Diablo sneered, "Take the initiative to step into my range, since you want to die, then I will fulfill you!"

Activate the predictive ability to see through the opponent's attack trajectory, and at the same time use the ability to delete time. Within the range of the shot, only Diablo can move freely.

He walked around behind Ryunosuke Akutagawa unhurriedly. The epitaph predicted the future for a few seconds and showed that the other party stood in place, but the moment Diablo released his ability, he let his substitute [Beyond Scarlet] Stabbed fiercely at Akutagawa from behind.

hum-

Rashomon's barrier unfolded almost instantly.

Forcibly prevent the [King of Crimson]'s attack.

At the same time, Akutagawa flipped in the sky in the armored state of the demon, adjusted his position and gave a fierce kick to the rear. If Diablo hadn't used the time delete in time, this blow would definitely hit him .

coincidence?

Diablo stared fixedly at the young man.

Attacked again.

However, it was defended every time, and even every time Diablo's movement position could be expected, and then counterattacked.

Even though Diablo will dodge him, he has reached a level.

"impossible!"

The enthusiastic leader exclaimed, and he looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief, "Why, why do you know my location!? Why do you know the time when I release my ability!?" Obviously did not use Polnareff The method of dripping blood taught!

Akutagawa didn't answer.

Killer, no nonsense habit.

At the beginning of the battle, Akutagawa hid behind his teammates, looking for the opportunity to pull Diablo into the different space, and throwing his dying companions back to the different space everywhere, while observing Diablo's attack Habit.

The walking position, the angle of the attack, the body language, the unconscious habits...

This is one of the unique skills inherited from Mr. R, which is able to read the [Killer Secret] of the enemy's attack.

He continued to attack Diablo, and Diablo resolved it frequently, and the battle between the two sides fell into anxiety. As long as one person makes a mistake once, the winner will be announced.

The two knew it well.

Can't go wrong.

Or...to lure the other party to make mistakes.

A strong enemy——these are the same aspirations of the two.

Diablo tried to mislead Akutagawa's prediction, and Akutagawa tried to make Diablo step into the trap of another dimension.

Clutching the wound on his abdomen, the leader of the assassination team, Risut Nero, who had not been picked up by Akutagawa, could not even help him. He sat in a corner, staring nervously at everything with his red eyes wide open.

It wasn't until the members of the Bugarati team arrived when they heard the news that the fierce battle was finally broken.

……

Giorno Giobana's stand-in, [Golden Experience Requiem] finally revealed its true ability.

Not just enhanced strength and speed.

[Golden Experience Requiem] is the ultimate stand-in that returns everything to nothing.

That is an ability that even the main body doesn't know. The [Golden Experience Requiem] with self-awareness can carry out autonomous defense without the main body being aware of the attack.

In front of [Golden Experience Requiem], all the will and actions of the enemy will be returned to "None".

The result obtained by the enemy before his own will is that he will never be able to reach this will. For example, Diablo foresaw the scene of killing Giorno. less than the result.

Even death will be returned to nothing.

[Golden Experience Requiem] attacked Diablo, which should have caused the opponent's death, but under the effect of the ability to return to "None", the opponent's death ending has become a result that will never be achieved.

Diablo's death is nullified, and he will experience countless consecutive and uninterrupted deaths.

Car accident, assassination, poisoning, drowning... Every time you die, you will open your eyes the next moment, appear in another place, and experience death again.

—but can never reach the truth of death.

……

The moment dawn fell, the battle was finally over.

Although the injuries were severe, thanks to Akutagawa's ability to maintain the same dimension, fortunately no one died.

Relying on the invincible ultimate stand-in, Giorno Giobana, who can both output and heal, healed everyone's wounds, took back their mutilated limbs, and even replenished their bodies with blood.

It just hurts.

Especially Mista, who screamed so loudly that the exhausted Ryunosuke Akutagawa couldn't help giving him anesthesia (physical).

The Heavenly Demon Armor put a heavy burden on the body, Akutagawa Ryunosuke's limbs were trembling, and there were many muscle strains, but out of instinct, he still maintained a calm appearance.

But Giorno walked up to the other party under Akutagawa's dark and calm eyes after treating the others, and squatted down: "Mr. Akutagawa is also injured, right? Please let me check it."

"No."

"Please don't be willful, your face is very bad."

As Giorno said so, he just stretched out his hand.

The next second—whether it was Giorno or others, they were all thrown out of the different space.

There was only one dark and small cat squatting on the spot, not very energetic.

The Rashomon cat shook its ears, and jumped onto the recovering Bugarati. Because it had saved its little master, the young man favored by Rashomon carefully hugged the cat.

……

Bugarati was very worried, because Akutagawa's face was indeed quite bad. When they were all seriously injured, it was Mr. Akutagawa who saved their lives, and even stood alone with Diablo until the reinforcements arrived, although he stayed I didn't see anything in the different space, but I can somewhat guess that Akutagawa's state is inseparable from the state just now.

But he couldn't persuade Mr. Akutagawa to come out.

Polnareff babbled earnestly beside the Rashomon cat for a long while, but he didn't get a look from the cat.

……

Giorno Giobana, who had just joined the organization for only five days and had just solved their former boss with his own hands, had attracted Buccarati with the courage to become a gangster superstar.

Considering that Diablo has never revealed his true face to anyone, nor revealed any information, it is actually quite simple to replace him after he has dealt with the other party.

The question is who will be the new leader.

The assassination team undoubtedly wanted to push their captain Risut, while the guards wanted to push Bugarati.

But Bugarati stood firmly on Giorno's side.

In the very beginning, Buccarati was infected by Giorno's will, so he voluntarily became the partner of the other party and embarked on the road of betrayal.

Moreover, Bugarati's character is not suitable to be a gang leader.

He is too gentle and kind, and his three views are too upright. He seriously lacks the ruthlessness and scheming that a gang leader should have. If such a person succeeds, [Enthusiasm] will lose the number one position in Italy in less than a year.

Risut of the assassination team is also not suitable.

The assassination team has a tendency to put interests first, and they don't mind drug trafficking at all. As killers all year round, they lack respect for life. Risut is a natural assassin, and he is very good as the captain of the assassination team, but he is not good at leading an organization. Don't know anything.

It stands to reason that Risut should probably compete for this position with the opinions of the players.

However, unlike his companions who stayed in a different space and saw nothing, Risut saw that Diablo's defeat with his own eyes.

Giorno Giobana, the boy's stand-in is far more terrifying than Diablo.

Not to mention Mr. Akutagawa.

Mr. Akutagawa will probably follow Bucgarati's opinion. Although it is not clear what kind of friendship they have, Bucgarati must have more trust from Mr. Akutagawa than himself.

Think about Mr. Akutagawa's fighting power.

If there is a fight, there will be a fight, but the difference in strength between the two sides is too great. The combination of Mr. Akutagawa's different space and Giorno's treatment is almost invincible.

Therefore, he gave up competing for the position of leader.

But if they are to stay and work for the new leader, then the treatment and wages must be negotiated.

It was a back-and-forth request from the unhappy assassination team.

In short.

Giorno, who is rational and calm, and does not lack a sense of justice, is promoted as the next leader of [Passion] with the support of the ultimate stand-in and Bugarati.

Compared with Bugarati and Risut who have records, Giorno, who has only joined the organization for five days and has no information, is more likely to replace Diablo.

He only needs to find the communication accounts of members of Diablo's contact organization, and this point, under the premise of Diablo's defeat, Polnareff can help find out slowly without worrying about chasing and killing. .

……

On the way back, Bugarati, who was holding the Rashomon cat, suddenly lifted his handle, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa fell down. Rashomon turned into a windbreaker and wrapped it around the young man, and Bugarati picked him upright.

"Mr. Akutagawa!"

Bugarati widened his eyes unexpectedly, hugging the extremely light man with both hands, and when he saw the blushing face and short breathing of the other party, as if realizing something, he reached out and touched Akutagawa's forehead.

have a fever.

It was at least forty degrees, and even the consciousness could not be maintained, causing Rashomon's different space to automatically close, and the living things were thrown out.

Strictly speaking, Giorno's abilities are not healing, but rather assembly. He can cure missing arms and legs, but not diseases.

Akutagawa was embraced by Bugarati, and the self-aware Rashomon emerged ferociously, growling menacingly at other guys who tried to get close to their weak little master.

It only accepts Bugarati touching his little master.

Giorno, who was threatened by Rashomon, held the cloth wet with sea water in his hand, paused for a while, and finally handed it to Bugarati, who let him put it on the young man's forehead to cool down.

……

Akutagawa Ryunosuke was ill for another week and was sent to the hospital in Naples.

The high fever continued, and from time to time there was a weak low-pitched cough.

Trixie often comes to take care of each other, because Giorno just officially appeared as the leader of the organization not long ago, and now there are a lot of troublesome things to solve, including cleaning up the defection, sorting out the organization's revenue chain, and taking over various departments of the organization... Original Buga Lati team, current and new cadres are all busy running around, and only Trixie has time to come and take care of others.

Giorno, who is only 15 years old, is a natural leader. This young man is almost self-taught in winning people's hearts and scheming. He always calmly thinks and acts cautiously and decisively. The whole organization has been straightened out.

The pro-guards originally belonging to Diablo were also used by Giorno without hesitation. Anyway, strength is the best way to persuade.

It is worth mentioning that Polnareff has become a staff member of [Enthusiasm]. He is experienced and has helped Giorno stabilize his position a lot.

A month later, as the new boss, Giorno basically had a thorough understanding of the organization, and with the help of Bugarati and the assassination team, he secured his position.

The work finally became a lot easier, and Ryunosuke Akutagawa's physical condition improved a bit, so Giorno and Bugarati went to the hospital to visit this frail but very powerful writer's family together during off-duty time.

"Mr. Akutagawa, I sincerely invite you to join [Enthusiasm] and become my companion from the bottom of my heart."

Giorno looked at the sickly young man leaning on the hospital bed, looked at him seriously with emerald eyes, and said so.

"You have wisdom and strength, and you are extremely sensitive to the dark sense of smell, but you don't lack a kind heart. I admire you very much, so I look forward to having you join us."

"Mr. Akutagawa can continue to write books. It should be said that I very much need Mr. Akutagawa's articles. Use your words to awaken the people, which is beneficial to some of the terrible causes that I prohibit the organization. I want to change the dark world in the eyes of Mr. Akutagawa, but only I can't do it alone."

The blond boy stretched out his hand to Akutagawa, with a refreshing smile, which easily aroused people's goodwill, Giorno said: "I need you, Mr. Akutagawa, you are irreplaceable in my heart, you are very amazing The presence."

Awaken the literary giants of the whole Italy with his own power.

Such an achievement is also rich in history.

"...Please forgive me for refusing."

Wearing a hospital gown and holding a book in his hands, Ryunosuke Akutagawa said this without even thinking about it.

"Although I expected you to answer like this, it's still unavoidable to be a little frustrated. May I ask the reason?"

"I won't stay here."

Akutagawa Ryunosuke said calmly, "I have found a way to go back."

Giorno pondered: "Then, will Mr. Akutagawa come back?"

"uncertain."

"Then I hope Mr. Akutagawa can come back and take a look." Giorno smiled: "Next time Mr. Akutagawa comes back, you will definitely see a completely different Italy from the past."

"I promise."

……

Polnareff contacted his friend Jotaro Kujo after many years after Giorno took control of the organization.

He enthusiastically told Jotaro about Akutagawa's presence, and sure enough, he got a somewhat unexpected and pleasant reply from the other party.

Jotaro and Kakyoin booked air tickets for the next day, planning to fly to Italy to see their long-lost friends. Abdel was also very happy to hear the news, but because he was busy with other things, it might take some time before he could visit them.

Polnareff happily shared with Akutagawa the news that Jotaro and Kakyoin were coming, Akutagawa Ryunosuke glanced at him uninspired, and nodded calmly.

"Although you said so, I still have no memory of the companion you mentioned."

"Oh, it's not a big problem, it doesn't matter if you don't remember, we just get to know each other from the beginning!"

Polnareff said optimistically: "Just like us, we are still friends now! I'm sure that you will also become friends with Jotaro and Kakyoin again."

...I didn't admit it.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke looked at the familiar Polnareff, and sighed, but did not deny it.

Friends... If it's this guy, it's not too difficult to accept.

……

Akutagawa had no plans to meet Polnareff's two friends.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke is not the type to easily let go of his guard. It is almost impossible for him to become friends with someone he meets for the first time.

For him, to become friends, the baptism of time is indispensable, but Akutagawa does not want to waste any more time getting to know the two people. He has already written a farewell letter a day in advance and put it on his bedside, and then he can't wait to carry out his love. First attempt at active time travel.

Akutagawa deliberately blew the wind in the middle of the night to let his body temperature rise again. The confusion caused by the bad body temperature seemed to be able to show his special ability instead.

Trying very hard to stay awake, like opening a different space, Akutagawa slowly stretched out his hand into the air, gently touching something, sensing something, the passage of time, the positioning of space, in this incomparably vast space like In the star-like dense space-time coordinates, he found his current position.

Get out of this world and surround yourself with the fluctuations of time and space.

In front of Akutagawa's eyes, countless cracks opened like a mirror, and then shattered and dislocated.

The unique smell of hospital disinfectant lingering around the tip of the nose seems to have dissipated.

Instead, there are traditional Japanese tatami mats, a warm interior, a familiar desk... and his younger sister, Akutagawa Gin, who looks at him with worried eyes.
