hero?it must be me

He looked at the others in a daze, and found that everyone seemed to have similar expressions.

"Zheng Qi."

In the end, the helpless Kakyoin took the initiative to speak out: "Actually, it might be better if you just say it directly. In words, a little..."

No way, among them, even the one who is the best at foreign languages ​​can only half-guess what the square words on the white paper mean.

"……what."

Zheng Qi slapped his forehead.

He himself forgot about it.

You can't expect Zheng Qi, who is still just a high school student, to be able to write in Japanese fluently. He has been able to communicate with Er Qiao and the others without barriers, all thanks to the magic book.

Rather, it is precisely because the magic book has done so well in this area that Zheng Qi himself has gradually forgotten that he does not know Japanese, and English is only limited to the student level of a 150-point paper that can score 140 points.

"Sorry, let me explain one by one, Mr. Joestar, please make a record."

After doing a lot of useless work, Zheng Qi was also a little embarrassed, but fortunately, because of his quick actions, Mrs. Holly is still safe and sound, so the time is not so tight that he has to walk and talk .

Next, because it is dictation and then transcript, it will inevitably take more time.

However, after listening to the list of enemies provided by Zheng Qi, Abdel was the first to realize how precious and important the information was.

Greypley, the Gray Tower, Dibo the curse... some troublesome characters that Abdel knows a thing or two are impressively on this list.

And even Er Qiao, Jotaro, and Kakyoin, who don't know much about stand-in messengers in the world, have gradually realized how tricky this killer group under Dior is.

The abilities of stand-in messengers are all kinds of strange, this is not just talk.

In this list, there are many enemies with terrible abilities that can kill you in an instant when you first meet them.

If there is no such information provided by Zheng Qi, it is impossible to say what price will be paid to find out what the opponent's ability is when they actually face these killers.

Moreover, apart from the threat of the killers themselves, this number is also extremely alarming.

Stand-in messengers are not Chinese cabbage. Dior was able to win over so many stand-in messengers in a few years, even if more than half of them were killers who only took jobs for money, it was very troublesome.

"In this way, as Zheng Qi said, I am afraid that the sea route will not be safe."

Abdel said in a deep voice.

It can show the "power" of a giant ship sailing on the sea, and the "dark blue moon" who is good at sea battles. If you go by sea, you probably won't be able to avoid the attacks of these two stand-in messengers.

Not only that...

"We also have to consider whether the other party will fight together like us."

Kakyoin said: "According to what Zheng Qi said just now, the brothers Horror of [Emperor], J. Kyle of [The Hanged Man], and Poingo Oingo are typical brothers."

"About this, I don't think there is any need to worry about it."

Zheng Qi shook his head.

"Horrhaus is a special case. He is also a special type among this group of killers. Compared with striving for the first place, one of his life philosophies is to recognize his own position and be willing to be the second child. Therefore, he is very happy. Knowing that my [Emperor] is a stand-in who needs a partner to exert strength, for this reason, I am willing to support J Kyle."

"As for the pair of brothers, they are brothers themselves, so they have no reference value."

"Most of the remaining stand-in messengers are killers who take money to do things. For them, it is very important to have one less person to share the money. It is normal for them to be jealous of each other. Working together, it is even possible to deliberately hold each other back in the hope of making a profit."

"so……"

Zheng Qi tapped the notebook in his hand lightly with his finger: "In the early stage of the journey, don't worry too much about being blocked by multiple substitute messengers."

Of course, it might also be because Araki-sensei really dislikes group battles.

A thought of ridicule that only he himself understood flashed through Zheng Qi's mind.

"Indeed."

Er Qiao nodded in agreement with Zheng Qi's statement.

"Then Zheng Qi, how do you think the route should be arranged?"

"Let's go by sea first."

Zheng Qi pointed to the world map on the table: "If you want to go to Egypt, you will inevitably have to cross the sea. Even if you really encounter [Power] and [Dark Blue Moon], we must try to get rid of them at the beginning of the journey." , without them, if you really want to continue to take the sea route, you will be able to save a lot of trouble."

"And along the sea route, we can change the land route in Singapore and go to India by train."

"Wait a minute, why did you choose to change land halfway?"

Abdel opened his mouth and asked: "If you keep taking the sea route, even if you really meet those two stand-in messengers, wouldn't the sea route be safer after you deal with them?"

"Because of the quantity."

Zheng Qi answered immediately.

"Such a number of stand-in messengers can be used by Dior as killers to intercept us along the way, wouldn't they be gathered by Dior, and be used as hounds to encircle us after we arrive in Egypt?"

"Wow!"

Everyone's face darkened.

"I did say that these killers who only care about money are villains, so it is extremely difficult to reach a cooperative relationship with each other, but this is based on the premise that Dior cannot directly exert control over them."

Zheng Qi looked at everyone with a serious face.

"Dior can determine our location through Mr. Joestar and Jotaro, which means that we can't get to Egypt without him. In this way, Dior must have the right to arrange means in advance."

"Do you think people like Dior care about face or the dignity of the strong?"

"No!"

Zheng Qi's fingers tapped heavily on the location of Egypt on the map.

"That guy is a complete villain."

"As long as we can get rid of us, no matter how lowly the method is, he will gladly adopt it."

"The only thing you want is the result, the process, the means, it doesn't matter what it is."

"This is Dior!"

Chapter 20 Chapter 19: This is not a game

This is true.

It's not that Dior doesn't have ways to forcibly control these killers. If he goes straight to Egypt regardless, it is really possible that as Zheng Qi said, everyone will face a difficult situation of being besieged and killed by several stand-in messengers at the same time.

"So, this journey, we have one more goal to complete."

Zheng Qi raised his right index finger.

"Try to eradicate these double envoys who serve Dior along the way as much as possible."

"Not only because they will take the initiative to come to the door, but also to minimize the obstacles that may be encountered in the final confrontation with Dior."

"You should understand."

He lowered his voice.

"Even if Dior is alone, he still has the ability to wipe out all five of us."

"..."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

The atmosphere in the entire room was also suppressed.

"...Zheng Qi."

After a while, Er Qiao asked in a low voice: "Up to now, I believe in your precognitive dream, but Dior's substitute..."

"The stand-in ability cannot be viewed with common sense, Mr. Joestar."

Zheng Qi replied calmly: "Everyone here is the most powerful proof of this sentence."

"...It looks like it will be a wonderful trip."

Kakyoin suddenly laughed: "When I get old, this will definitely be a journey that can be told as an adventure story to my children and grandchildren."

"Humph."

The corners of Jotaro's mouth curled up slightly.

"That's right."

The heavy expression on Abdel's face also slowly dissipated, revealing a resolute smile.

"You guys are really generous."

Er Qiao shook his head angrily.

There was also a smile on his face unconsciously.

"Okay, let's go by sea first!"

After everything was ready, Mrs. Holly was appeased, watching the professional medical team from the SPW consortium arrive at Kong Tiao's home, Zheng Qi and his party of five also arrived at the gate of Kong Tiao's home, ready to board the special car to the pier.

"Wait, Jojo, before you go, come and give your substitute a name."

Abdel suddenly took out a stack of Tarot cards from his sleeve, and placed it in front of Jotaro.

"name?"

"It's convenient to call, among us, only your substitute has not yet been named."

Abdel said with a smile.

"Why don't we just use the cards of fate, Tarot cards to decide? If you want, just draw one at random."

"..."

Zheng Qi at the side looked expressionlessly at the phantom of the magic tome that popped up in front of him at this moment.

On that page, a brand new special task suddenly appeared.

At the same time, Jotaro was quietly drawing out a card from the stack of tarot cards.

"It's a star."

Abdel looked at the card in Jotaro's hand: "Star card, speaking of it, Zheng Qi also said that in his prophetic dream, you are the star who opens up the future."

"In that case—"

Abdel pointed at Jotaro.

"Just name your substitute [Platinum Star]!"

"—— Jotaro Kujo! The substitute is Platinum Star! The ability is precise movement and heroic strength!"

"Joseph Joestar! The substitute is the hermit's purple! The ability is to read and write!"

"Muhammad Abdel! The double is the red magician! The power is flame and heat!"

"Noraki Kakyoin! The substitute is the Green Emperor! The ability is long-distance operation and emerald splash!"

"Zheng Qi! The substitute is a magic cat! The abilities are predictive dreams and four-dimensional pockets!"

Every time he said a sentence in an impassioned tone, Zheng Qi would immediately change into a wonderful standing posture.

Finally, after he finished introducing everyone including himself like a narration, Zheng Qi turned his face expressionlessly and looked at Er Qiao who looked blank.

For some reason, Er Qiao seemed to be able to see the pleading in Zheng Qi's straight eyes at this moment.

That's probably saying...

Don't ask anything, please.

"Uh……"

Er Qiao looked at the others.

However, Abdel also looked at a loss, while Kakyoin was smiling, or it looked more like he was smiling because he couldn't hold back.

As for Jotaro.

"That's enough..."

He lowered the brim of his hat and turned away from looking at Zheng Qi.

Er Qiao scratched his head, turned around and met Zheng Qi's eyes again.

"Okay, let's go!"
