Italy, Naples.

The sky was getting late, and the sky was also covered with a thick layer of shadows due to overcast clouds, which made people feel a little uncomfortable for no reason.

Soon there will be a storm on the sea, which is not uncommon for ships operating at sea.Experienced fishermen can always drive the fishing boat to the shore in the first time.As the sky got darker, the last fishing boat staggered into sight on the shore.

"Hey! Are you done with it? The sun will go down soon!!"

"I know, I know! Speaking of which, today's harvest is pretty good... Even though it's not the peak fishing season, you can still catch such a heavy fishing net..."

"Pull you down! What scraps of metal did you catch last time? You can't sell them for much! More and more people are throwing rubbish into the sea recently... Tsk, I don't know who did it. I caught..."

A few Neapolitans were talking on the shore, but the screams of fishermen suddenly came from the other side, which attracted the attention of many people.

"What the hell is this!? What the hell is this?? A coffin??"

The fisherman's voice attracted the attention of many people. Everyone walked over curiously, and quickly gathered on the deck, seeing clearly the... coffin wrapped by a bunch of skinny fish and shrimp?

It was a coffin carved from pure black wood, and it was worth a lot of money just by looking at it.But salvaging this thing from the sea is still very infiltrating, especially when it is this kind of black light...

"Open it and take a look?" One of them asked tentatively.

"Is this courting death? What if there are ghosts or vampires hiding in it?"

"Are you still a child of seven or eight years old?? Children don't believe in this anymore, why do you still believe in the existence of vampires?"

"That must have happened many years ago... I heard that a fleet salvaged coffins, and all the crew members of that fleet died!"

"It doesn't matter, let's open it first and have a look? I heard that some rich people will stuff a lot of treasures in the coffin, maybe we can make a lot of money from it!"

The recent fishing industry is really bleak. The desire for money has allowed many people to overcome the so-called fear of vampires.They found some tools from their backpacks, and after working hard for a while, they finally pried open the tightly sealed coffin.

However, they did not see the so-called treasure. In the narrow coffin, lay a black-haired child quietly.

He quietly curled up in the small space, his slender eyelashes slightly covering his eyes, breathing slowly.

……

"So, this is the scene when you were first discovered?"

Bugarati held a pile of dry firewood in his hands, with a silent expression.

"Yes, that's what I heard them say." The boy nodded.

"It sounds a bit fantasy...but it would be nice to have a place to live." Buccarati nodded, "I heard that the church is taking in homeless children recently, taking care of your Mrs. Michel The matter is high...Are you going to go there?"

"Of course not."

The black-haired boy was sitting on an old abandoned anchor by the sea, his hands casually supporting his chin, and his dark red eyes showed no emotion.

"If you don't want to go, you can stay." Bugarati was silent for a moment, and quickly replied,

"I heard that there are a lot of dirty guys in the church. Those people make money by collecting taxes. It's not a good thing anyway-you might as well come to my house? If it doesn't work, you can go fishing with me, you Isn't your skill very good?"

"Do not."

Akabane Crane hesitated for a moment, then shook his head,

"It was the village head who wanted to send me to the church. The church took a fancy to my ability, and they gave Mrs. Michelle and the village head a lot of money before they agreed to send me away."

"……So this is ah."

Bugarati lowered his head with a slightly frustrated expression.

The black-haired boy in front of him is an Asian from the East. According to him, his name is Akabane Tsurusheng.Of course, the people in the village always called him Simon, after Madame Michel's lost child.

Since Hesheng was salvaged from the sea, he was sent to the home of Mrs. Michel, who lost her child in a shipwreck not long ago.Mrs. Michel was very kind to him and took good care of him.It's just that sometimes I suddenly cry on my own, maybe because I remembered something very unpleasant.

But Akabane Crane was even more confused.

In his previous memory, he should have gone to a cos exhibition with his roommate in the end. He just went to the bathroom, and he was already in the coffin when he woke up... let alone why the coffin is set like this dio style, but fortunately his setting is not a vampire, but an ordinary (probably) child.

Originally, he was just an ordinary child living in this small fishing village. It wasn't until the appearance of Bugarati that he realized that he had time-traveled... with a high probability that he had time-traveled into a certain early setting of Yangko Wind. .

Everyone didn't welcome the arrival of Akabane Tsurusheng very much. Firstly, it was because of the natural xenophobia towards Asians, and secondly, because Akabane Tsurusheng was weak and could not help at all.No one wants to pick up a pampered young master and come back... Although Akabane Tsurusheng didn't think he was too delicate.

It's just a little, a little dislike for fish.

After all, when he was fished out of the coffin, he was thrown directly into the pile of fish. That feeling may be unforgettable in his life.

In the end, the reason why everyone changed their minds was because of an accident.

The impression should be that Bucciarati's father was seriously injured, with near-fatal wounds from bullets running all over his body.Bugarati cried by his father's side for a long time, and finally decided resolutely to become a member of the Mafia.

According to the plot of the original book, it seems that this is indeed the case... However, Akabane Tsurusheng noticed a strange arrow appeared on the back of Bugarati's Fuqing's hand at some point, pointing to the back of the man's hand.Out of curiosity, Akabane Tsurusheng stretched out his hand and touched the position pointed by the arrow.

"boom--"

Time began to flow slowly, and the nearly fatal wound on the man's body gradually began to heal. Under the shocked eyes of everyone, Akabane Crane withdrew his hand blankly, feeling a little shocked in his heart.

"The wound...was healed!?"

"How is this possible!! Can such a miracle happen!!"

"Son of God! This child is the Son of God bestowed on us by God!!!"

...It was agreed not to believe in feudal superstition? ?Why did the Son of God get up? ?

Because of the misleading arrow, Akabane Tsurusheng's ability was quickly exposed.People hundreds of miles away know that the children of Mrs. Michel's family have the power to heal all diseases.Such rumors even spread all the way to the church not far away, until not long ago, the priest of that church proposed to adopt Simon, and promised a large sum of money to the famous family in the village.

Everyone naturally agreed, and Akabane Tsurusheng shook his head helplessly, feeling sad for the short-sightedness of this group of people again.

Although it was just an accident to reveal the ability, is it obviously worth more to keep such an ability than to sell it? ?He actually only sees the immediate benefits. If he had already figured out a way to monopolize it and prevent information leakage, he would make a lot of money in the end, right? ?

Stop, it seems that the product being sold is his own... It's better not to have such weird thoughts.

Although he was very grateful to Akabane Tsurusheng for being able to cure his father, Bugarati still did not give up his plan to join the mafia.Although he also asked Akabane Tsurusheng about his thoughts at the beginning, he also expressed his willingness to respect when he learned that the other party wanted to live a life of salted fish.

"When I become a powerful mafia, I will find a way to protect you."

The boy with black hair and blue eyes stretched out his hand, and patted Akabane Tsurusheng's shoulder solemnly,

"You saved my father. Such a life-saving grace will never be forgotten in a lifetime."

"Well, since Bugarati said so, then I will wait for you to become stronger."

Akabane Tsurusheng replied with a smile.

It is only a matter of time before Bugarati becomes a powerful mafia, and the most important thing right now is where he will go next.

There are still a lot of Italians who believe in religion, and there are quite a lot of people going to and from that church on weekdays.Many devout believers will go to worship on fixed days, or confess their sins with the priest, so as to gain inner peace.

The village head, who received a large sum of money, immediately sent Akabane Tsurusheng to the church.Probably because he thought that the one he was going to meet was the aloof priest, Akabane Tsuruyu also got the best clothes he had worn since he was born. The pure white dress shirt was paired with black cropped trousers. It's a bit of a choir boy's style.

Although he didn't really like the clothes that looked so tender, that's all.

"The boy's name is Simon, isn't it?"

The aged old priest pushed his glasses and looked at Akabane Tsuruyu with a smile.The black-haired boy raised his head pretending to be curious, and his delightful red eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"Yes, his parents passed away a long time ago... so we found him a new guardian." The village head said anxiously,

"The child that Mrs. Michel lost was also called Simon, so we changed his name."

"It's a good thing." The priest nodded understandingly,

"It's better to say that this child may be the Son of God who came to you to heal Mrs. Michel's soul and everyone's body. Such a child is kind in nature and is more suitable to live in a holy place like a church. "

"Thank you!! If you hadn't invested so much money! We people in the backcountry will be hungry again during this time!!" The village chief said excitedly.

"No need to thank, these are what I should do. Now go back and continue to work, God will bless you, Amen."

After a set of pretentious words passed, the old priest smiled and invited him to the interior of the church, saying that he wanted him to help heal the believers' bodies and minds.

The black-haired boy still kept a distance from the priest, and he seemed wary of this strange old man.After following the priest into the church, Akabane Hesheng quickly noticed the internal structure of the entire church——

Seen from the bottom up, it is a very fine relief portrait, the content of the drawing is probably the birth of a god, and around the god are [-] attendants, each of which is holding something in their hands, Worship to the gods in the middle.

Which otherworldly religion is this? ?He didn't remember that Catholicism had such weird things...

"It's here, right here."

The priest's footsteps stopped, and Akabane Tsurusheng also noticed the man in front of him.

It was a blind man who was holding the priest and crying.

"I have been working honestly all my life, and finally got a stable job, but I lost my eyes because of an accident a few years ago, and I am down now."

The man's voice was extremely sad, as if mixed with the most painful wailing in the world,

"I don't know what to do... I am afraid that only the Lord can save me in this world..."

"Don't worry, kid."

The priest stretched out his hand gently, he held up the man's face, and said softly,

"Our Son of God will heal your pain. I believe he will be able to do it. But you have to pay the corresponding price."

"Tell me, how much are you willing to pay? I will decide whether the Lord will forgive you or not based on what you pay."

Oh, is it really this routine again?

On the surface, Akabane Crane was as immovable as a mountain, but he suddenly understood the routine in his heart... It was said that it was salvation, but he still wanted to make money through his ability, right?

After all, this group of people is nothing more than a bucket of gold bound by the priest and the church.

In the end the man paid a decent amount of money to keep his job.The priest accepted the money with a smile, and quickly stretched out his hand in front of Akabane Tsurusheng, with a big smile on his face.

"Then, my dear Simon, you must be able to cure this suffering man?"

His tone was obviously quite gentle, but Akabane Hesheng inexplicably heard a sense of threat from it.

Should it be rescued?

Akabane Tsurusheng looked at the expectant man in front of him, and frowned slightly.

First of all, the reason why Akabane Crane was able to heal anything was not because he was bound to some powerful healing system.The ability he binds is called [Bell of Backtracking]. One of its abilities is to rewind the time of the target object to the time when it is scheduled to be archived.

The Clock of Retrospect can be saved four times in total, and the first save time was when Akabane Tsurusheng first came to this world.In other words... the injured person must be injured after that to be healed.

"Excuse me--"

Akabane Crane opened his mouth, he looked at the man in front of him curiously, his tone sounded a little immature,

"When did you get hurt?"

The boy's question was too abrupt, which made the man in front of him stunned for a moment, and then replied:

"It was four years ago, is there any question?"

Four years ago...

That won't work.

"terribly sorry."

Akabane Tsurusheng straightened his waist. During the period of observation, he noticed the man's skull-like face and dark yellow teeth, and he understood a little bit in his heart.

"Your blindness is due to a series of complications caused by your smoking/du? In the end, all this is just asking for trouble. Even if you spend all your parents' money, I'm afraid you won't be able to regain your sight."

The expressions of both the priest and the man changed.

"People who are in deep darkness don't deserve to be healed."

The black-haired boy looked down at him, every word he said was filled with an irresistible sense of oppression, which made people tremble unconsciously,

"Go back, I can't heal someone like you."

·

The results of rebellion were of course tragic.

Akabane Crane curled up on the ground in some pain, only feeling that his abdomen was still hurting secretly.

The priest finally persuaded the man away with a lot of words, and naturally he couldn't keep the money.Because of this, Akabane Hesheng was also severely beaten by the priest... At least for a child, it was indeed a bit harsh.

"I made you rebel! Did I let you refuse!? What sin is not a sin? Giving money is God!! Why do you refuse the request? Shameless, right??"

The loving priest sheds his disguise and reveals a violent and vicious side.No child would like such a priest, they fear him from the bottom of their hearts.

Bucciarati was right.The priest is not a good thing at all.

The black-haired child was pulled up by the back collar and left in the empty room.Does the priest ask him to reflect on himself, and he has no food tonight.When he decided to obey the priest's order, when to feed him again.

... Tsk, although it is said that the wounds on his body can be healed through the clock of retrospect, this priest is really a very bad adult.

Akabane Crane pinched his face in pain, because of the effect of the retrospective clock, his body didn't feel so painful.However, in order not to let the other party realize that he had used his ability, Akabane Tsurusheng still kept part of the wound on his face, and planned to go nearby to have a look.

It was a rather cramped room, with no windows or even a door around it, and the only source of light came from the candle on the table—but there was only a little bit of that candle left, and I'm afraid it wouldn't last long.

In a completely enclosed space, there is no concept of day and night, and there is no clock to tell him the speed of time.

This is an endless cage, and the candle is his last hope.

Akabane Tsurusheng had seen it in books before, and it seemed that some countries would specially set up such confinement rooms, and most of the confinement rooms came from prisons.For those prisoners who are disobedient, they will be locked in a completely dark room without light.Unable to know the speed of time, completely lost the ability to perceive the outside world, and unable to communicate with anyone, such a person will eventually fall into a complete collapse.

When the confinement is over, I am afraid that no one will want to go in again, and the violent and restless prisoners will be much more at ease.

This trick is enough torture for adults, let alone children.Only then did Akabane Tsuruo remember, as if he hadn't seen any children since he entered the church.The children seemed to be hidden away in the snow and only released when needed.

There is no paradise here.

Here is hell.

Akabane Crane leaned against the corner, where a lot of sundries were piled up, and he was a little uncomfortable being squeezed.But thinking of the continuous days of torment that he will go through next, Akabane Tsurusheng has a headache.

What should I do?

No... There doesn't seem to be any solution. The Clock of Backtracking can only work on the human body, but it cannot control the entire time.His ability is only to rewind time, not to speed up heaven.

Well, it's actually not that hard to bear.That kind of training goes through a lot in the white room, doesn't it?

Akabane Tsurusheng was forced to lean against the wall helplessly, and tentatively tapped a corner with the back of his hand, even thinking about whether he should look at the thickness of the wall for a Shawshank Redemption.

But with this knock, the same voice was immediately conveyed from the other side.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk."

The crisp voice came from the other side of the room, and Akabane Crane was stunned for a moment, and looked at the wall behind him in disbelief.

...Could it be that there are other people on the other side of this wall? ?

No, it's not a surprise either.After all, there are not too few children living here.But this is much better, at least someone can chat with him, isn't it?

"Hello? (ciao)"

Akabane Tsurusheng tried to communicate with the other party in the local language, but he didn't dare to make too much noise. In the end, the other party might not be able to hear what he was saying clearly.

Hey, this is going to be troublesome.If the other party understands the Morse code, that's okay, you can communicate through the Morse code, which is also a good way to solve the problem in the dark.

Not only that, there may be children who can use Morse code... It's not the kind of special experimental subject in the novel, making it mysterious...

However, just when Akabane Tsurusheng didn't intend to continue communicating, there was another sound of knocking on the wall behind him.This time, the sound of knocking on the wall became more rhythmic, conveying a series of clear sentences in Akabane Tsurusheng's ears.

This is... the spelling of letters in English?

Is it possible that there are really children who know Morse code in this world? ?

Akabane Tsurusheng felt a certain kind of joy in his heart, and he tried his best to understand what the other party said. Obviously, the child communicated in such a way that he was still a little jerky, and he couldn't even express himself clearly.

[Who are you? ]

This is what the other party asked.

[I'm like you, a child who was tricked into being here. ]

Akabane Crane tapped slowly for a while, only feeling a slight pain in his fingers.The child on the other side of the wall seemed very happy, and he quickly typed a paragraph to express his excitement.

[Are you also a test subject?Great... so far, those children are all dead, and I am alone here, lonely. ]

[Can you talk to me?It's really dark in here, it's hard to be alone. ]

The other party knocked on this sentence for a long time, and each hit was extremely difficult.Akabane Tsurusheng quietly listened to the other party's tapping movements, and at the same time understood what he wanted to express.

[May I have your name? ] Akabane Crane asked.

[I don't have a name.But they all call me NO.12. ]

NO.12?Is that the code name of the test object?

Akabane Tsurusheng's brain began to quickly search whether there is such a code name in JOJO, but of course there is no... Although DIO is keen on growing small bread, he still prefers to use the fashionable way of Tarot to express meaning.

[You can call me Akabane Tsuruyuu... well, it might be a bit difficult, Simon is fine too. ]

Akabane Tsurusheng felt that his hand was hurting, so he had to go back the time of his hand, and felt much better in an instant.

This skill is really a crazy diamond!It's still a crazy diamond that can heal yourself... Although there may be some drawbacks to saving, but it's really good to be able to obtain such a strong healing ability after saving only once!

[Did you see that man? ] The other party continued to ask.

[I haven't seen anyone outside since I was born, and I'm lonely here by myself.Can you kill that man and take me out? ]

that man?Do you mean the priest? ?

No... probably not the priest.Akabane Tsurusheng never felt that the priest had a boss-level face, and that face could only be regarded as cannon fodder at best.Besides, his desire for money is also very strong. Basically, the standard villains will have longer-term goals... Of course, Diablo is different from Wu Mi who just wants to live.

[is God". ]

The other party typed these words carefully, and when he hit [God], he paused for a moment.

[It's a god who can devour everything... an awful god. ]

Akabane Tsurusheng chatted with the other party throughout the night, perhaps because he hadn't chatted with him for a long time, and the other party's attitude was also very enthusiastic.Although I can feel the unfamiliarity of some sentences, the typed English letters have gradually reduced the mistakes in the sentences.

He is smart and has a strong learning ability.Although Akabane Tsurusheng still doesn't know exactly what kind of experiments the other party has gone through, the only thing he can be sure of is... the organization behind the other party may be very troublesome.

The church should be a weird organization in the guise of the Catholic Church, its purpose is unknown, but its strength should not be underestimated.The leader of the other party is probably the existence called "God" by the other party, and this church is only there to allow them to collect money and cultivate experimental subjects.

As for why Akabane Tsurusheng was included in this organization... Akabane Tsurusheng himself is not very clear.

Anyway, it's not a good thing.

Ok, so here comes the problem.Although Akabane Tsurusheng's Ability Recalling Bell can retrace his physical abilities indefinitely, he is basically a pure nurse, and his combat power is basically negligible.

So Akabane Tsurusheng asked the other party if he would fight, but the result was a long silence.

Well... he didn't actually count on the other party either.

If you have no fighting power but the milk volume is OK, then you can only beat the Shawshank route.

[Since you can't get the power to kill God, do you want to run away with me? ]

Akabane Crane asked,

[Leave here, I will take you to another place, and you will be free. ]

Akabane Tsurusheng waited for the other party's answer.

But the person opposite fell into a strange silence for no reason.

[Is it really possible to escape? ]

[I can assure you that we will escape unscathed. ]

[Why are you so confident? ]

[Because I have enough chips to gamble. ]

In fact, Akabane Tsurusheng still has no idea, but unnecessary worries will greatly affect the smooth progress of the task, so he still carried out white lies and deceptions, trying to lure the other party to agree to his conditions, and follow him to leave this terrible situation. The ultimate place.

As for ability... Akabane Tsurusheng did not make any comments.

At least in the background of various superpower worldviews, the existence that can be used as a test object will definitely not be weak, and the same is true for the boy on the other side of the wall.At most, he didn't notice it. As long as he can see the other person's face, he can definitely get a way to cheat.

After continuing the chat, Akabane Tsurusheng probably knew that the boy would only stay here at night, except for doing experiments.Night is the most suitable time to escape, but there are still countless eyes staring at them in the long corridor, and the realm of gods envelopes the entire church, escaping is simply impossible.

"I'll probably be able to go out tomorrow morning." Akabane Tsurusheng said,

"I will obediently obey and gain the other party's trust. I will try to rescue you out. If I fail, I will just go back to the cage, but if I succeed, what you will get is freedom."

Akabane Tsurusheng's words were really touching.

I have to say that he does have a certain ability to touch people's hearts, and this may be his talent.As a man with great physical defects, his strengths are naturally displayed in other aspects.However, abducting a child who is not much older than him actually doesn't need to spend a lot of words.

"Then it's settled." Akabane Tsurusheng whispered,

"You also have to think about a way to escape. The way must be thought of by the two of you together. It is you who want to escape, not I who want you to escape."

After emphasizing this point, Akabane Tsurusheng closed his eyes, intending to take a short rest.The one-night exchange has almost exhausted his brain cells, and now he can fall asleep instantly when he closes his eyes.

But the truth is sometimes so cruel.

When the door was harshly opened, the priest's hurried footsteps quickly woke up Akabane Tsuruo.The other party obviously didn't intend to let him rest, but pulled his slender arm and walked towards the door.

"You have to save them."

The priest's expression was still loving, but his tone was cold to the bottom,

"I warn you, this is the last chance I'll give you, I don't want you to waste my time. I don't adopt people who can't afford it, please show your value immediately. Otherwise..."

"You don't want to know what's going to happen next."

Akabane Crane rubbed his eyes, and a deep response sounded from his nasal cavity.Maybe it was because he didn't wear much clothes and the weather was getting cold again, so he even felt a little bit cold.

But it's okay, just adjust the time a little bit... huh?

The moment Akabane Tsurusheng noticed the rhythm of the panel, he quickly adjusted the panel to the bottom.A small line of handwriting quickly caught his attention.

[The Bell of Retrospect can be used ten times during the archive period, please pay attention to the remaining times.Once the number of uses is used up, please save a new archive immediately for the next archive. ]

Akabane Crane: ...

Is this a broken house that coincides with a rain leak?What kind of peerless good luck is this? ?

But it's not surprising, it's better to say that it would be a little strange if the rollback can be used indefinitely.

In other words, he can only use the healing ability ten times this time, so he can't use it again?It seems that the next move is a little faster...

The priest brought Akabane Tsuruyu to the prayer hall.The black-haired boy put on a long-sleeved shirt and trousers this time to cover up the scars on his body.The priest himself probably felt very guilty, but fortunately there were no obvious scars on his face, otherwise it would be really difficult to explain.

After the daily morning prayer, the priest, as always, smiled and asked those who needed to repent.Of course, most of us know that to be forgiven by the Lord requires a huge price.To be saved, having a lot of money is a must.

"So, next... who else among you wants to be redeemed?"

As soon as the priest finished speaking, a youth who looked young stood up.He took off his hat, revealing that beautiful face, and the emerald green eyes that Akabane Crane was so familiar with.

"I brought more than enough money."

A huge suitcase was placed on the table by him, and the boy who looked like he was only about fifteen years old buckled his hat on his chest, and his long black hair was scattered on his shoulders, making his face even more beautiful.

"My name is Paul. Verlaine, may I ask if this much reward is enough for me to be redeemed?"
