Lee Sin's Bizarre Adventure

April 5, 1999, 17:59 pm.

Diavolo showed up at the square in front of Moriocho Tram Station one minute early.

Before that, he had actually been wandering quietly in the shadows for a long time. After confirming that there were no traces of Li Qing and others nearby, he carefully walked out into the sunshine while time wasted.

During rush hour, the tram station is crowded with people and extremely lively.

Diablo doesn't really like to go to crowded places, but this meeting place is the best option he carefully selected.

The crowds of people coming and going were just enough to provide him with cover, making his unique and exotic appearance seem inconspicuous.

Once Li Qing breaks out, he can quickly use Time Slash to blend into the crowd, and use the disturbing crowd to cause interference to Li Qing's hearing.

Even if he is too unlucky to escape, he can still hold these ordinary citizens hostage and let those just people who stick to morality and humanity restrain their hands.

Diavolo had everything ready.

But he still felt a little nervous:

Yoshikage Kira.

I hope that guy doesn't play any tricks.

No matter how cautious he is, he cannot grasp all variables.

Diavolo could only try to raise his vigilance to the highest level, and then walked quietly and carefully towards the agreed-upon final location:

That is the public bench in the square in front of the tram station, closest to the station exit.

He and Kira Yoshikage are both cautious people by nature. Not only did they agree to meet here, but they also set an alarm code in advance:

Diavolo must sit on this bench on time before 18:00.

If Diavolo is not seen near this chair, it means that the situation has changed and the meeting has been cancelled, and Yoshikage Kira will leave directly and never appear again.

Therefore, at this moment, Diavolo approached the bench with purpose.

However, his brows quickly wrinkled slightly:

Is there anyone?

Someone was already sitting on the bench.

He was a young man with a gentle temperament, full of energy, fashionable and decent appearance, and a rather artistic look.

The artistic atmosphere in him is the easiest to see:

Because he had a paintbrush in his hand and a sketchbook on his knees, and he was drawing on the paper with concentration.

And beside this young man, there were several elementary school students in uniforms with childish faces chattering:

It turns out to be the great manga artist Kishibe Rohan-sensei!

The Red and Black Boy you drew is our favorite comic work!

I didn't expect to meet you in a place like this. It's really, really incredible.

The eyes of several primary school students were full of idol worship.

They surrounded the great cartoonist with enthusiasm, their young faces full of excitement and enthusiasm.

And Kishibe Rohan seems to have long been accustomed to such enthusiastic onlookers from young fans.

He stopped painting and smiled at the primary school students:

It's nice to meet you all. But I'm a little sorry.

I'm sketching here right now, so it's not convenient for me to chat with you.

If possible, can you allow me to concentrate on completing this painting?

Although she was actually a thousand miles away, Kishibe Rohan spoke in a very gentle and calm tone, which did not make anyone feel uncomfortable at all.

Sensing the request from Kishibe Rohan, several enthusiastic fans immediately nodded obediently and said:

Okay, Teacher Kishibe, we won't disturb you in your conception and creation.

Thank you for understanding.

I usually sketch here. I hope you will see me again in the future.

Kishibe Rohan smiled and calmed the emotions of these children, and then watched the few fans go away with a calm expression.

After these little fans left, he immediately lowered his head and concentrated on painting the unfinished painting.

A cartoonist who goes out to sketch?

“Seems no problem”

Diavolo carefully observed Kishibe Rohan, and his vigilance relaxed slightly:

The enthusiasm and admiration of those elementary school students just now were very sincere. Unless they were all born movie stars, the young man in front of them should be the cartoonist they mentioned.

Diavolo also observed carefully. When the elementary school students made a fuss just now, many passers-by nearby also cast inquiring glances.

Judging from the surprised and excited eyes, this young man's identity as a well-known cartoonist is even more certain.

It's probably just a cartoonist who happens to be sitting here sketching.

He shouldn't be a threat to me. But

Diavolo, who is as alert and sharp as a cheetah, soon discovered another suspicious place:

The station is heavily trafficked, so it’s not surprising that there are other people on the benches.

But a cartoonist goes to such a noisy place to sketch?

How can you draw in such a noisy place?

Could it be that he did it on purpose.

He was actually with Li Qing, so he ambush here in advance?

Because of the psychological shadow caused by Li Qing these days, Diavolo is almost paranoid about being persecuted.

Wait until you calm down and think carefully:

Li Qing's side clearly has an overwhelming advantage in combat power. If they can know their whereabouts, they can just push back. There is no need to risk such unnecessary drama.

Diavolo was troubled, but Rohan Kishibe on the bench beside him had already finished the painting in a quick and easy manner.

He breathed a sigh of relief, put down his brush, then raised his head and said to Diavolo:

Sir, you seem to have been observing me for almost half a minute.

Are you interested in my paintings?

If that's the case, I'd like someone to taste it.

Kishibe Rohan held the still-dry painting and spoke to Diavolo very seriously.

Well

Diavolo hesitated for a moment, then answered smoothly without revealing any flaws:

Yes, I am indeed very interested in the art of painting.

But there's one thing that makes me wonder.

The environment here is so noisy, why do you come here to paint.

He probed quietly.

This is my personal hobby.

“I like to sketch in crowded places, so that I can observe all kinds of passers-by and get in touch with the most real world.”

These can provide inspiration for my creations, and the noisy environment can also temper my mood when painting.

Artists have their own quirks, and Kishibe's reason for showing off his companions is also very normal.

Oh I got it.

It seems that you are a very accomplished painter.

Diavolo said a few words slowly, as if to stop questioning.

However, the moment his expression relaxed, his spiritual energy surged like a huge wave:

The Crimson King!

Caught off guard, the ferocious-looking Crimson King appeared out of thin air.

As soon as it appeared, it struck a sharp sword in front of it with all its strength, as if it was going to split Kishibe Rohan's brain with one blow.

But Kishibe Rohan remained motionless.

It was as if he couldn't see the Crimson King at all, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

In the end, the Crimson King's hand knife narrowly stopped in front of Kishibe Rohan's eyes, an inch away from his forehead. The strong wind caused by the slash made his hair flutter wildly.

Why is it so windy all of a sudden?

Kishibe Rohan frowned in confusion.

Then, he handed the painting to Diavolo without changing his expression:

This is a painting I just finished.

Sir, do you want to see it?

.

Diavolo fell into a brief silence:

This guy didn't respond at all to the Crimson King's temptation. It seemed that the other party was not a substitute.

Am I being paranoid? No

Thinking about it another way, if the other party is a substitute but can still turn a blind eye to the Crimson King, that would be a truly terrible trouble.

Diavolo's suspicious character has been strengthened to the extreme as the situation continues to get worse.

Although there have been countless performances proving that Kishibe Rohan is just an ordinary person who happens to appear, he still can't let go of the lingering suspicion.

Facing the painting handed over by Rowan Kishi, Diavolo has been hesitant and dazed.

Let's take a look at the future.

Today's meeting must not cause any trouble. All hidden dangers must be eliminated.

In the end, Diavolo couldn't help but take out his insurance measure at the bottom of the box:

The Crimson King - Epitaph!

Epitaph's ability was activated quietly, and the scene of the next ten seconds suddenly appeared in his mind.

Diavolo's expression suddenly became a little subtle:

Not because he saw any danger, but because the future he saw this time was unexpectedly dull.

In the past, he could always see his own death in all kinds of strange ways in the future on his epitaph, but this time...

In the first second, Kishibe Rohan handed over the painting.

In the second second, Diavolo began to appreciate it.

The painting was indeed very delicate, allowing him, an amateur who only knew a little about the art of painting, to see the artist's profound painting skills.

In the third second, Diavolo began to express his praise politely.

Fourth, five, six, seven, eight, nine seconds.

Kishibe Rohan and Diavolo kept talking about this painting.

At the tenth second, Diavolo finally managed to get rid of Kishibe Rohan, who was overly enthusiastic about art, and asked the great manga artist to calmly shut his mouth.

Kanbian Lu immediately raised his pen and lowered his head, as if he wanted to continue sketching.

It seems that I really thought too much.

I didn't expect that I, Diavolo, would be forced into such a state of complete indifference.

Diavolo sighed slightly, feeling very melancholy.

But he quickly calmed down and took the painting from Kishibe Rohan and began to appreciate it according to the predicted future:

It is indeed a painting that can make people's eyes shine.

This painting should be...

Diavolo started chatting with a calm expression.

Time passed by second by second according to the predetermined pattern.

At the ninth second, the brief chat between the two was about to come to an end.

At the tenth second, Kishibe Rohan closed her mouth, raised her pen and lowered her head, as if to continue creating.

It's really no problem.

My whereabouts haven't been exposed yet. All I have to do is wait for Kira Yoshikage to come over.

Diavolo thought with relief.

However, at this moment, at the 11th second that Epitaph did not foresee.

You are the first person to see this painting.

The conditions have been met, then, Diavolo

Kishibe Rohan, the cartoonist whom Diavolo regarded as a harmless passerby, suddenly called out his real name in a cold voice.

A chill suddenly surged out of his body. Diavolo sensed that the situation was not good, and instinctively wanted to cut away time and escape.

However, his action already seemed a bit late.

Show me your story-

Kishibe Rohan picked up the paintbrush, and a human-shaped shadow appeared on his body:

Heaven's Door!
