Lee Sin's Bizarre Adventure

April 5, 1999, 17:59 pm.

In the square in front of the Moriocho Tram Station, there is the public bench closest to the station exit.

Kishibe Rohan was sitting upright on this ordinary-looking bench with an ink-stained paintbrush in her hand and a sketchbook on her knees.

His eyes were full of concentration as he looked at the drawing paper, and underneath his concentration was a kind of fanaticism that was obsessed with art.

At this moment, several young fans passing by were chattering and pestering the great cartoonist.

There was no trace of impatience on Kishibe Rohan's face.

While he responded to the greetings of the few fans with a gentle expression, he concentrated on drawing on the drawing paper.

At the same time, he was still counting silently in his heart:

59 points, 05, 06, 07, 08

Here we are, 17:59:09.

The man from the future warned him carefully:

He will accidentally encounter Diavolo at 17:59:09, and then successfully activate Heaven's Gate at 17:59:50.

The time will not be wrong by one second, and it cannot be wrong by one second.

Sure enough, as the prophecy said:

At this moment, at 17:59:09, the moment comes

A middle-aged foreigner with pink hair appeared in front of Kishibe Rohan as if destined.

That's Diavolo, the villain and protagonist of this story.

An unspeakable excitement quietly surged through Kishibe Rohan's heart, but he showed no signs of it on the surface.

He was still finishing his paintings calmly, while also sending away those overly enthusiastic fans.

Soon, the little fans who passed by walked away as Kishibana Rohan watched.

But Kishibe Rohan still didn't pay attention to Diavolo. He just lowered his head seriously and concentrated on painting the painting that was about to be completed.

Finally, the painting was completed.

Kishibe Rohan breathed a sigh of relief, put down the brush, then raised her 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.

As he spoke, he gently held up the still-dry painting, as if expecting Diavolo's answer.

Well

Diavolo hesitated.

He was currently busy meeting with Kira Yoshikage, and his vigilance seemed to be at its highest.

So, with suspicion about Kishibe Rohan, he quietly launched a test.

Just like that, after a series of trials.

Diavolo finally gave up his suspicion and believed that the other party was just an artist who happened to be sketching here.

Okay. Thanks.

I was just wondering what you were drawing.

He continued to act like an art lover and agreed to Rohan Kishibe's words perfunctorily.

Then I would like to ask you to review and appreciate it.

Kishibe Rohan handed the sketchbook out calmly, with a hint of excitement under her calm expression.

Diavolo gently took the sketchbook and pretended to read it:

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

This is not entirely perfunctory.

Although the structure of the painting looks simple at first glance, it looks like random graffiti, but upon closer inspection, you can see that the lines are simple and clear, and the details are rich and rich.

It seems like only a few strokes, but the simple pattern is vividly depicted with the most delicate brushstrokes.

only.

Diavolo still didn't understand what the pattern depicted in this painting was.

Obviously the other party was sketching at the entrance of the station, but the content of the painting was not the scene of people coming and going at the station, but

A snake.

A snake connected end to end.

It's like a circle with no beginning and no end.

This painting should be...

Diavolo hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

This is an occult symbol that has been passed down from ancient times to this day.

I'm sure you'll be interested in it too.

Kishibe Rohan introduced Diavolo with a smile:

And its name is-

Ouroboros.

Naples, in a port warehouse where an explosion just occurred.

Ouroboros.

Another lost memory resurfaced in my mind.

It turns out that before he awakened his final power, he had already seen the Ouroboros in Kishibe Rohan's paintings.

An unspeakable fear surged into his heart, and Diavolo completely collapsed:

Kishibana Rohan.

Did I completely fail at that time?!

He roared hysterically in a frenzy.

Li Qing smiled in relief:

Indeed, Kishibe Rohan is the key to solving all this.

Since arriving in Duwang Town, Li Qing has been holding back a bunch of uneasy questions:

That is why he, who has never been to Morio Town, has a teammate he has never met in Morio Town?

Why was Kishibe Rohan able to grasp his information in advance?

How did Kishibe Rohan defeat Diavolo, who could predict the future, and captured this overly cautious guy in one fell swoop.

These questions have never been answered.

However, after knowing that Diablo's ultimate ability is traveling through time.

Li Qing vaguely guessed the answer:

He must have gone back in time too!

When he goes back in time, he will definitely contact Kishibe Rohan.

And this great cartoonist with a weird personality will definitely believe what he says and become his companion.

Because these are both the future and the past that has already happened.

The past cannot be changed, and the future will definitely come as destiny has written it.

So, after the previous crash.

The first thing Li Qing did was to look for his cell phone everywhere, hoping to contact Kishibe Rohan directly by phone.

The mobile phone was found, but no one answered the initial call——

This is actually quite normal:

Because of the time difference, it should be about 1 o'clock in the middle of the night at Kishibe Rohan's side.

The great cartoonist might be sleeping, or he might be focusing on his creation, so it’s not surprising that he didn’t answer the phone.

And just when Li Qing came to the warehouse door and stood guard, and planned to continue bombarding the great cartoonist with phone calls.

Diavolo had already arrived on his motorcycle.

But Li Qing did not panic because of Diavolo's sudden attack.

Because this once again gave him a big reassurance:

Before the call was answered, Diavolo was already here.

what does that mean?

This means that Lee Sin won this battle 100%.

Otherwise, if he loses this battle

He would have no way to contact Kishibe Rohan, and it would be impossible for Kishibe Rohan to become his teammate without never meeting him.

And the past that has happened is absolutely [unchangeable], so Kishibe Rohan will definitely be his teammate, and he will definitely be able to contact Kishibe Rohan smoothly.

I will definitely win.

This is not setting a flag.

Because Li Qing has already understood the script in advance:

Everything is already written.

The future is the past that has already happened, and the past cannot be changed.

So we're really just repeating the cycle of time.

And in this unchangeable time loop, I am destined to win, and you are destined to fail!

Li Qing paused for a moment, then said in a deep tone:

Diablo, don't you understand yet?

Think about it carefully

Who defeated you?

Diavolo was shocked, as if he suddenly fell into an endless abyss:

Yes, who defeated him?

Is it Li Qing?

Or Kishibe Rohan?

No, neither.

Kishibe Rohan was able to bypass Epitaph and let Diavolo get hit because Li Sin told him the exact time of attack in advance.

And Li Qing was able to tell Kishibe Rohan the exact time of action because Kishibe Rohan told him this information in the past.

This is just the simplest example:

It proves that time is a cycle.

Don't know where it begins and where it ends.

Li Qing and Kishibe Rohan are actually just following the established trajectory of the time cycle unknowingly.

So, what really defeated Diavolo was:

It's fate

It's the fate that has already been determined!

Diavolo collapsed, despaired, and went crazy.

It turned out that he was not fighting an equal enemy at all.

His enemy is God, fate, the whole world, and the script that was written long ago.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning exploded in Diavolo's mind.

A long-lost memory suddenly came to mind.

That memory is actually not that long ago.

If calculated based on now time, it was only about 2 hours ago.

At that time, in the dark alleys of Naples, a certain sculpture artist told him with his life:

It's fate.

All of us are nothing but slaves to fate.

.

no no!

I'm not willing to give in!!

Diablo roared hysterically:

I clearly have the power to defeat fate

I don't want to die, I don't want to lose to this ridiculous fate!

Yes, I have activated the Ouroboros!

He looked at his disintegrating body and shouted incoherently:

I am invincible in my virtual state.

And when the virtualization is completely completed, I can go back to the past through the long river of time, yes, back to the past!

I want to keep traveling back and forth between the past and the past—

I can have enough time in the past to live on a journey through time forever and never come back!

Diavolo completely lost the courage to face Lee Sin.

In other words, he no longer dared to face that desperate fate.

He even wanted to hide in the past and live out his old age in the infinite time superimposed hour by hour.

Are you still resisting fate?

It seems you still don't understand it at all, Diavolo.

It's useless what you do - because you have already lost now.

Just now, after that big explosion, you have already provoked an extremely dangerous existence.

Li Qing sighed helplessly.

Then, he stretched out his hand to point Diablo in a direction:

See for yourself.

It's time to remember some forgotten memories.

W-what?

Diavolo's madness suddenly stopped.

With an unspeakable fear, he looked in the direction of Li Qing's finger.

The first thing that came into view was a piece of ruins, with some fire waves that had not dissipated.

The powerful explosion just now seemed to shatter one wall of the warehouse, allowing the scene outside the warehouse to see through without any obstruction.

Therefore, Diavolo can clearly see at this moment:

Outside the warehouse, a familiar car was parked.

In that car, there was a familiar young man sitting.

Diavolo saw the boy with bright pink hair.

Through the blazing firelight, the pink-haired boy also saw him.
