Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

Jiang Ming hurriedly asked.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm a little excited," Drake smiled a little embarrassedly, "In general, there are some stories about the legend of the God's Stairway. In the legendary culture of this planet, it was mentioned that Pass a place called [Nameless Ruins], which is the remains of all civilizations that have been completely extinct. As long as the culture of a civilization is completely dissipated, or the life of this civilization is assimilated by other civilizations, or the civilization itself is physically The complete extinction of nature, its remains will be projected and placed in such a place, and this place is called the Unnamed Ruins."

As he said this, Drake reached out and wiped the tablecloth on the table in the dining room a few times, wiping off the dust and carefully observing the patterns on it.

"That's right, this pattern is characterized by the human civilization of Earth 1145, a decorative pattern in the style of Rist Vallo. The human civilization on this planet was integrated into this universe a year ago, and encountered diffusion during the integration process Memetic hazard. All life forms in the world gradually weakened within 1 minutes, and then all died. When the control and containment center and the superpower alliance arrived, they were greeted by a planet full of dead bodies. Any living thing, even a single-celled organism exists."

"After the fusion of the universe, can this relic even accommodate relics from other cosmic civilizations? If this is the case, then the personality of this God's Ladder may be higher than imagined."

"Is it true that it is the same as in the legend, 'Any existence can only cross over once, and after crossing, it must completely surpass the power it currently possesses'. If such a miracle can really be achieved, then wouldn't it be possible for existence beyond the universe? Can you improve yourself through this ladder? No wonder the unfinished person wants to come to this place. Haha, the so-called god relics are really worthy of the name. We must explore the mysteries of this place and try not to let this place be inexplicable. The reason for it collapsed."

Drake, who is getting more and more excited, seems to have entered a state of ecstasy.

All in all, this [Unnamed Ruins] is in the same place as [God's Stairway], right?

Jiang Ming faintly guessed in his heart.

"Not to mention anything else, Drake, do you remember how you came to this place?"

Jiang Ming patted Drake on the shoulder and asked.

"Ah, this, I just remember that the submarine exploded, and then passed out, and woke up at the water's edge, surrounded by many stone pillars. But I walked forward for a while, and found this place, Then I met you, Jiang Ming. Speaking of which, we have to find other people as soon as possible, we may not be the only ones in this strange place."

Although it was said that it was only the protection object entrusted by Jiang Ming and others at the beginning, but things have developed to this level, and Drake is already the main guide of this mission.After all, only he who worked hard to study various legends and cultures could identify all kinds of things here in the first place.

"Well, it is indeed necessary to find other talents as soon as possible."

Thinking like this, Jiang Ming's keen sense of hearing quickly caught the sound of approaching footsteps.

Someone is coming.

"Come behind me, someone is coming, stay alert."

Holding golf clubs and rolling pins in his hands, Jiang Ming looked warily at the source of the sound.

step-step-

There were steady and powerful footsteps, but for some reason there was still a little staggering feeling, was it injured?

Judging from the sound of footsteps, it is not Virgil or Kamijou Touma, that is to say, is it one of Joseph and Kujo Jotaro, or is it the other two shadows of the unfinished one?

step-step-

A black figure emerged from the mist.

Kujo Jotaro clutched his bleeding arm and appeared in front of the two of them panting.

"It's Jotaro-san."

After confirming that he was someone he knew, Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

But then, almost immediately, Jiang Ming sensed something from the vigilant expression in the opponent's eyes, and immediately reached out to stop Drake who was about to go forward beside him.

"Jiang Ming, which office are you from? Which flight did you take to come to Chaoluo City? And what kind of barbecue do you eat the most on the cruise ship?"

After lightly panting a few times, Jotaro stared at Jiang Ming with a serious expression and asked.

"Devil May Cry Office, the second division of the DMC series, I took flight CKP2003, I ate the most grilled squid, because I like the taste of this dish, and my favorite seafood is squid and squid Yes. In addition, the chef's sauce is very good, it should be some kind of ancestral preparation method."

Jiang Ming, vaguely aware of something, spoke very seriously.

Unable to relax because of Jiang Ming's answer, Jotaro then looked at Drake and asked him some similar questions to confirm his identity. on a chair in the room.

"what happened?"

Jiang Ming stepped forward and asked.

"There is a person, it should be the shadow of the unfinished person, he turned into an old man and appeared in front of me."

Jotaro wiped the blood on his body, let Jiang Ming use his recovery ability on himself, and spoke in a calm tone.

"This transformation ability is terrible. The other party directly copied the old man's stand-in ability and ripples, and it seems that he still has a recent memory. I speculate that he can copy the memory of a few hours to a day or so. In short, that person It used this ability to get close to me, and stabbed my arm when I wasn't prepared."

"If it wasn't for my Platinum Star's instinct to automatically protect the Lord and miss the opponent's attack, I would have been killed by the opponent just now."

On Jotaro's arm, the wound really looked quite scary, the other party was almost completely pierced through the bones and flesh of Jotaro's arm, and the whole arm was not completely broken with only a little flesh and skin remaining.

"The ability to replicate abilities, appearance, and short-term memory?"

Jiang Ming inexplicably thought of the Skrulls, a fake race.

"That's right, after he was discovered, he immediately changed the form he copied and became Virgil's appearance. It's just that he couldn't fully copy the knife that Virgil was carrying, so he only copied one Gloves and footwear and a stick that emits black flames."

That battle was quite dangerous. Although Kujo Jotaro had the almost invincible ability to stop for five seconds, because the opponent copied Virgil's power, he was completely immune to Jotaro's power to move freely during the time stop, and relied on The duplicate magic equipment nearly killed Jotaro.Fortunately, the power copied by the opponent is not complete enough, and it cannot really reach Virgil's devastating power, and the opponent seems to have some concerns when he acts, so he failed to kill Jotaro after a short fight Next, that person immediately chose to leave.

"Even so, the upper limit of that guy's copying ability is quite amazing."

Jotaro said, showing his deformed fingers.

Because the object of the copy is Virgil, the king of demons, even Jotaro's double can't please him, and he almost lost in the close combat.What Jiang Ming couldn't see without pouring spiritual power into his eyes, Jotaro's double was floating beside him at this moment, and the ten fingers of his hands were already covered with cracks.

"This unfinished person really has a group of strange ability users."

Jiang Ming couldn't help but sighed.

If it is this kind of ability, then other people in this area who have not yet joined may be quite dangerous.

"Let's join up with other people as soon as possible. Although the old man is very smart, and your two friends are not weak, it is definitely not a good choice to face this kind of enemy without preparation."

Jotaro said in a very serious manner, and the not-so-obvious worry could be seen from his expression.

"Well, that's true."

Jiang Ming nodded and reached out to help Jotaro whose wound had been healed.

Chapter 120 Five: Prudence and thinking on both sides

"Why do you hide, Jotaro-san?"

Opening the distance again, Jiang Ming and Jotaro faced each other at a distance of ten meters.

"Did you just want to reach out to help me? Or were you planning to do something else?"

Kujo Jotaro still maintained his indifferent expression, and asked calmly.

"Of course I just intend to reach out to help you. Do you think there are other possibilities?"

Jiang Ming frowned.

"Your ability, the ability to fuse other people's flesh and blood to manipulate them, I have to be on guard. If the person in front of you is not the real Jiang Ming, but the person who copied Jiang Ming's characteristics, I will be with you. The moment you make physical contact it's dealt with."

Kujo Jotaro replied coldly.

"Is that so? But it is also because I once fused my flesh and blood with yours to remove the pollutants in your body, so I know how to tell if you are the real Jotaro, isn't it? Or Are you afraid of this verification method?"

While talking, Jiang Ming signaled Drake to stay away with his eyes.

"That's right, you can use this method to verify, but you can also use this method to kill me. If your power really invades my body, even if you use the power to stop time, you can't change my ending. "

Jotaro's voice grew colder.

"So, cut a wound and give me some of your blood, can it be done? I don't need to touch your flesh and blood to verify it."

Jiang Ming spread his hands and said in the next moment.

The atmosphere fell into a stalemate at this moment.

On one side is Jiang Ming with the presence of an old god, and on the other side is Jotaro with an indifferent expression.

Realizing that the situation at this moment was unusual, Drake, who knew that he was an ordinary human being and couldn't help him, backed away without hesitation, and left the house to avoid the possible aftermath of the battle between the two.In the room, Jiang Ming and Jotaro just faced each other without saying a word to each other.

In the silence, something is gradually brewing.

"……Row."

After a slight silence, Jotaro pulled down his sleeves a little, took out a small knife from his arms and pointed it at his skin.

"Before that, I have a question I want to ask."

Jiang Ming sighed, took out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket and put them on his face.

"what?"

Jotaro stopped his movements and asked in a cold voice.

"When you say copying memories, you don't copy short-term memories, but long-term memories, right? Although it's just my speculation, since you copied Jotaro's appearance to play tricks in front of me, then I can think that While you are trying to deal with me and Drake, you should be prepared for two things, that is, if there is no time to make a move, you will use the false information from your mouth to provide us with a wrong way to distinguish between true and false , so as to provide yourself with favorable conditions in the follow-up actions."

"You said, doesn't this kind of thinking look like a resourceful villain?"

Jiang Ming tilted his head and deliberately made a strange movement.

And Jotaro just stood there silently, without any change in the expression on his face.

"……You are very smart."

Then, Jotaro suddenly spoke.

Boom!

The strong light erupted from the light-absorbing marbles Jiang Ming hid between his fingers almost at the moment Jotaro opened his mouth. The intense flash was enough to temporarily erase the visual ability of all creatures, except Jiang Ming himself who was wearing anti-light sunglasses.

In fact, he was not sure whether the other party was real or not, but Jiang Ming, who had decided to subdue him first after realizing the suspicion, was ready to attack, so he immediately activated his magic weapon without waiting for the other party's reaction.

Then next-

Towards the front, Jiang Ming took a step.

[Platinum Star·World! 】

Then, time stopped flowing here.

Boom!

The next second Jiang Ming realized, he flew upside down, smashed through the wall, and slid on the stone floor for a distance of tens of meters. His internal organs and bones were almost completely blown apart.It is hard to imagine how powerful it is to achieve such a terrifying effect.

"Platinum Star? Hmph, it is indeed a powerful stand-in. With the power of this stand-in, as long as I don't face the demon king, I am invincible."

Jotaro, who has completely changed his expression, no, it should be said that he is the shadow of an unfinished person, stepped out of the hole in the house with a cold expression at this moment, and saw that he fell into the rubble pile not far away, with his chest on his chest. Jiang Ming was completely crushed.

"Did that Drake just run away? It's indeed the right choice, but it's not a big problem. Let me get rid of you here first. There is no way to stop time. You are just a lamb at my slaughter."

The man's voice at this moment was full of murderous intent.

"Ahem... This punch is really scary. Although Mr. Joestar mentioned before that Jotaro's stand-in has extremely terrifying speed and strength, but now that I feel it personally, it really cannot be underestimated. If I If it’s just an ordinary person, it’s definitely dead.”

Coughing out a mouthful of blood mixed with internal organ fragments, Jiang Ming stood up from the ground.
