stand-in creed

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang bang bang bang, starting with three punches and two kicks, Xinhongjiali and Platinum Star's fists swung faster and faster, gradually leaving countless purple and golden afterimages in the air. Nero on board was envious.

——I really want to beat someone up like this.Nero thought.

However, Xinhongjiali only persisted for less than five seconds, and it seemed that it was about to reach its limit.

There is no need to pause time at all.

Jotaro lit a cigarette and commented.

"While the strength and speed are good, the precision of the punches is not up to par.

"Not only that, you probably haven't studied boxing or other fighting skills seriously, have you? Whether it's the stance or the angle and way of punching, they are completely laymen's fighting methods. This level of boxing is full of flaws. There is no need to stop time at all."

"Eura-!!!"

Boom!

Accompanied by Platinum Star's monstrous battle cry.

Xin Hongjiao, who finally couldn't keep up with the Platinum Star, was blown away with a punch, but the moment he flew up, the other hand of the Platinum Star held his head firmly.

Then--

"—Platinum Star!!!"

"Ola-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla-ohla!

"Olahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Chapter 31 Enrique Pucci

Yin Shiming died after all.

Although Morioh Town is a tourist attraction, there are many samurai residences left over from the Date Masamune era, but Otonishi Akira did not have time to say a death sentence such as "the bright moon in my heart is in the sky without a cloud, illuminating the darkness of the world's pagodas" , and his throat was cut by Nero.

The body was put into cement and sank into Duwang Bay. After a period of time, the name of Otoshi Akira would appear on the missing list in Duwang Town.

And the instigators of all this are discussing a matter of life and death——

"——what do you have for supper?"

Nero asked seriously.

Dongfang Jousuke was surprised: "Didn't you just eat a big bowl of ramen before you act tonight?"

When Nero heard Jousuke say this, he was a little surprised: "Ramen is for dinner. What time is it in the morning? I've already finished digesting it! Since I haven't slept by this time, and there is no such thing as Angelo and Akiyuki Otoshi." Isn’t it natural to have a late-night snack if you make trouble with similar guys?”

Jotaro nodded too: "If you think about it, I haven't eaten at an izakaya much since I moved to America. It would be nice to order a beer and have some barbecue, but the only problem is- —

"—do you drink alcohol?"

Jotaro looked at Josuke and Okuyasu.

As for Nero Zeppelin?Jotaro is very clear, this guy doesn't smoke or drink, but he always eats fruit juice or milk tea, and getting him to drink is harder than getting him to play Dior again.

As for Jousuke and Okuyasu, although they are both under 20 years old and not at the legal age for drinking, these two guys don't look like bad boys who would take this kind of rule to heart no matter what angle they look at. If they are here, eating supper should not let me drink alone...

"I'm not yet 20! You can't drink alcohol!"

When Jousuke heard about drinking, his head shook like a rattle.

Jotaro was stunned, and looked at Okuyasu again.

Yiyasu also said very seriously: "Mr. Jotaro, minors are not allowed to drink alcohol."

Jotaro lives in Bengbu.

The law doesn't allow you to follow me and Nero to kill Yin Shiming, right?

Even if you let Nero, a fake lawyer who was fired by the law firm, come to review the case for you, you can still be regarded as accomplices in the crime of intentional homicide!At this time, you actually told me that minors can't drink alcohol?

"……Fine."

Jotaro, who used to drink underage in the detention center in front of the cop, could only nod helplessly.

Really can only drink dull wine tonight.

……

April 47th, [-]:[-] am.

Tokyo, Kujo's house.

Tonight in Tokyo, there are thunderstorms.

In the luxurious Japanese-style mansion, Dongfang Ryohei sleeps alone in a room.Although Joseph Joestar feels sorry for Silkie Q who is far away in the United States, he still sleeps in a room with Tomoko after reuniting with his former lover after a long absence.

As for Alessi.

Although Arreci's stand-in ability has a distance limit, the effective distance is not short, about 20 meters.With such an ability distance, there is no need to sleep next to Arresi's room and listen to the corner at Kongtiao's house.Fearing adults and the boss, he was sleeping alone in a remote guest room, snoring like thunder.

Obviously it was such a thunderstorm night.

Normally speaking, with Alessi's habits, he must be unable to sleep because of "rainy night noise" or "unaccustomed to the floor".Even if he can turn a blind eye to the noise of rainy nights outside the house, even if the floor of Kongtiao’s house is really comfortable enough for a person who sleeps in bed all year round to change his habits, Arreci still has the habit of "waking up at night".

However, tonight Arlesi overcame the "three things" that kept him from falling asleep in a very strange way. With his bare upper body and his lover whom he hadn't seen for many years, he fell asleep like a baby.

What's even weirder is that Alessi's body is actually wrapped in some kind of weird white liquid.

Boom!

A thunder flashed across the night sky outside the window, illuminating Arlesi's room and a ghostly figure standing quietly beside Aresi's bed——

——The black crown that covers the upper half of the face, only revealing the eyes.

——The pale body was covered with bandage-like stripes with the words "ACTG" written all over it.

There is no doubt that this is a double.

And when this person's hand rested lightly on Arlesi's head, two discs bounced out of Arlesi's head.

"Aresi"

"God of Seth"

That is the "memory DISC" of Arresi's life in the past few decades, including all the memories of how to use words, how to walk and talk, how to use a knife and fork, and the "substitute DISC" including his substitute ability.

This is the ability of this substitute.

After receiving the two DISCs in his arms, the stand-in quietly left Arresi's room, ignoring the bodyguards of Kujo's family and left the mansion, went to the street 20 meters away, and sat Where the main body is located in the car.

"37, 41, 43...

"You're here—"

In the cab sat a dark-skinned Caucasian priest named Enrique Pucci who was counting prime numbers.

And the substitute who sat in the passenger seat and handed the two DISCs to Father Pucci was his substitute——

"—White Snake."

"...I checked Joseph Joestar's memory, but there is no information about the "diary", it seems that he has no knowledge of the diary. "

"Did he put his DISC back?"

"Put it back...but why put it back?"

White Snake asked puzzled.

The White Snake is a stand-in with self-awareness. Although it will obediently carry out Puqi's orders, it must be done with Puqi's words, and the two sides do not have the same thinking.

Listening to his stand-in's question, Puqi shook his head.

"If you shoot two people at the same time, the "two people" under one roof at the same time will lose their memories and doubles overnight, which will definitely alert Kujo Jotaro and Nero Zeppelin, realizing that there is a double in the dark The messenger will attack them again, and they will definitely be able to analyze our abilities——

"—The ability to capture other people's memories and substitutes.

"The timing is not ripe yet. We are far from accumulating enough power to go to war with the Joestars. We must wait patiently. Once Joseph Joestar is moved, Jotaro Kujo and Jotaro who are in a state of rage will Nero Zebelin will definitely mobilize the power of the SPW consortium to investigate us at all costs, maybe they can really find out anything with their capabilities.

"that's it.

"Aresi, the traitor who betrayed my friend, has indeed been punished by God, and Joseph Joestar, who has confirmed the "non-Alzheimer state", does not know the whereabouts of the diary, and lost the support of the God of Seth. Joseph Joestar, who has returned to Alzheimer's patients, can no longer effectively use the purple hermit to inquire about intelligence.

"It seems that I can sleep peacefully tonight."

"……boring."

White Snake yawned and disappeared into the passenger seat.

Only the priest was left driving the car alone and disappeared in Tokyo on a rainy night.

Chapter 32 The Detective's Three Questions

The next morning.

A phone call from Tokyo made everyone in Moriou, who had just been in a good mood because they killed Xinhong Chili, sink to the bottom of their hearts.

"Joseph, Joseph, Joseph..."

Tomoko Higashika on the other end of the phone cried to Jousuke Higashika on the other end of the phone.

While Higashika Josuke was shocked, he comforted his mother and communicated with Nero and Jotaro by the phone.

Nero frowned, and simply pressed the hands-free button.

"Madame Oriental, I'm Nero Zeppelin, would you mind telling me what happened?"

"Yes, it is like this..."

In the story of Dongfang Friends, Nero roughly understands what happened.

When he woke up this morning, Dongfang Pengzi was surprised to find that Joseph beside him had aged countless overnight, and turned into an old man with weak muscles and dull eyes. Although he could still recognize himself, he was obviously a little confused.

Although Dongfang Tomoko also knows about the stand-in messenger, and although he knows that Joseph's previous appearance was maintained by relying on the power of Arlesi's "God of Seth" who was traveling with him, he really saw that Joseph became an old man. At one scene, he was still taken aback.

And when Tomoko Dongfang rushed into Arlesi's room and broke in, he found Arlesi with dull eyes.

talking and talking.

Joseph Joestar's accompanying medical team took over the position of Tomoko Dongfang and reported to the three of Nero.

"How is Alessi?" Nero asked.

The doctor immediately reported seriously.

"Loss of voluntary movement, sometimes with a flexion-fleeing response of the extremity to painful stimuli.

"Intellect, thought, will, emotion, and other purposeful movement are lost; the eyelids can be opened, and the eyeballs show purposeless movement; no speech, no language is understood, and sometimes the eyes can look, but cannot recognize.

"Loss of active eating ability, incontinence, flat EEG...

"...In short, a vegetable."

"Vegetable?!"

Nero was dumbfounded.

Although Nero is not a doctor.

But Nero has somewhat understood some of the causes of vegetative people.There are three kinds of acute injury, disease and deformity.

Jotaro next to him suddenly interjected: "The SPW Foundation does regular physical examinations, right? How is Arresi's latest physical examination?"

The doctor immediately replied: "Some fatty liver and diabetes are not the direct cause of the vegetative state-to be honest, we don't think it seems like a vegetative state caused by disease or trauma, but more like...a double attack. After all, Arlesi Mr.'s physical condition will not cause him to become a vegetable inexplicably."

"If it's the enemy's double attack... can Mr. Joestar try to read and write?" Nero suggested.

"Sorry, I'm afraid not." The doctor shook his head.

"Because we also doubted whether it might have been attacked by a substitute, we asked Mr. Joestar to try, but the problem is... what Mr. Joestar read and wrote was a photo of "T-bone steak".

"Mr. Joestar, who has lost the support of Seth God, now remembers very few people. He can only recognize his own family members. Most of the things he remembers are limited to the two battles 60 years ago and 11 years ago. Now he even I don't know who Alessi is."

"..."

Nero didn't know what to say.

After a while, the phone hangs up.

The first time after hanging up, Jotaro spoke.

"If it was the enemy's stand-in attack, why is the old man fine, and only one Alessi has an accident? Just like the detective novel emphasizes——

"—What is the enemy's "criminal motive"?" "
