039. Time History Book

Van Meer, this is the artist's name.

He is a poor painter who loves painting since he was a child, but his talent is not enough to make a name for himself. He makes a living by selling art on the street and making copies of others. He is often questioned that his works are not like himself.

According to his income level, he should have starved to death on the street more than ten years ago, but many years ago, on a cold night with zero income, he ran into a blond and alluring man.

Famished and dazed, Van Meer forcibly pulled the man and offered to draw a portrait of him.

Before the coquettish man could start, he stubbornly held the brush and drawing board with his trembling fingers, and sketched not delicate but steady lines.

That man——DIO was impatient and wanted to bite him to death casually, but from Van Meer's eyes, he saw the incomparably strong desire of a down-and-out little man to change the status quo, and his determination to do whatever it takes to get ahead.

It even reminded him of himself who strongly wanted to acquire the Joestar family property more than 100 years ago.

So, DIO gave Van Meer an arrow, allowing him to obtain the substitute ability he wanted.

"Giotto" can change the dimension of objects through touch: from three-dimensional to Two-dimensional, or from Two-dimensional to three-dimensional.

The former allows the painter to transform the two-dimensional objects drawn on paper into realistic three-dimensional creations. The first thing Van Meer understands about this stand-in ability is to draw a coat for himself, and then take out food from the painting.

It's just that this ability can't create life, so it can't create a paper man wife.

The latter can two-dimensionalize the three-dimensional object, and then project it on paper. This is also the embodiment of Van Meer's spirit of "the painting is not at all like the real object or the person himself" that has been complained about for many years.

Relying on this ability, Van Meer can reflect it on paper as long as he touches the inanimate object—with absolute fidelity and restoration.

Stuffing the real thing into the canvas is the best imitation.

Relying on this ability, Van Meer easily reached a level that even masters of realism could not reach. Tourists and passers-by who complained about him in the past all marveled at the progress of Van Meer's painting skills.

And Van Meer will let his stand-in lightly touch these audiences who have underestimated him while they are immersed in watching the paintings, and then permanently seal their shocked expressions in the canvas, becoming new ones. of realistic works.

This character of vengeance may also be one of the reasons why he resonates with DIO.

However, although he became famous by cheating on a substitute, Van Meer is indeed a painter who loves painting. After becoming a substitute messenger, he never gave up his main business. To a certain extent, he has no special training in combat.

"Although we have successfully sneaked into the hinterland of the headquarters of the SPW Group, the internal defense of the consortium must be very strict. According to intelligence, the other party also has a detective-type substitute messenger. If we act rashly, we will only expose ourselves."

The painter's partner, a man with curly blond hair, obviously possesses the combat instinct and IQ of a stand-in messenger, and his judgment is also very accurate.

According to Jotaro's order, the spw headquarters added a large number of cameras, and temporarily sent a large number of office staff to other branches. The rest, except for the core personnel who knew the secret of the double, were security personnel and bodyguards.

Since the security personnel usually patrol on a relatively fixed route, and Jotaro and others live in secluded places, as long as Naranja sends Aerosmith to hover around the area, once they detect an outdoor breathing response with a strange route, they can be sure to be the enemy with a high probability.

Although relying on the ability of the stand-in "Giotto", the painter and his partner successfully sneaked into the interior of SPW, but once they walked out of the director's private residence to the open outdoors, they would be immediately spotted by Aerosmith.

The partner has already learned about the existence of Aviation Smith through the intelligence of the previous stand-in messengers. Although he does not know the specific investigation mechanism, he is an extremely cautious person.

"So, what exactly should we do?"

The painter is not good at this kind of struggle with people, but he has a very humble attitude towards his partner. Even if he has become a master respected by everyone, he does not dare to show the slightest impatient towards his partner.

"Van Meer, if you are asked to deal with a substitute messenger who can also see a substitute, how will you let Giotto touch him?"

The partner asked back.

No matter how strong the stand-in messenger is, once the main body becomes a paper figure with no three-dimensional volume, it will be powerless to perform actions.

But the question is, if a stand-in envoy who has experienced many battles, has full reaction speed and alertness, how can he complete the action of touching?

After thinking for a moment, the painter said: "I will investigate his life first, and then make a work that will resonate strongly when he sees it. You know, great visual art can shock people and attract all human attention. Then I will And my double can also be hidden in the painting, and will take the opportunity to make contact with it."

Painting is the only thing Van Meer is good at, and he didn't give up his hobby even after he had no worries about food and clothing. He only needs to paint, and he can complete everything needed for battle.

The partner nodded in approval and said, "We happened to have studied the target's life hobbies, as long as you finish the work ahead of time, and then let our people send it to them, wouldn't it be fine?"

Even though Van Meer respected his partner, he couldn't help frowning: "But in this place, where can we find our people?"

The partner smiled and said, "It will be there when your client comes back here."

Van Meer's eyes widened, and his expression became even weirder: he had investigated this client in advance, that is, the owner of this exhibition room.

Although he is an avid painting collector, he is also a business partner who has a lifelong friendship with Spitwagen: Literally, when this shareholder was about to commit suicide because of investment failure, it was Spitwagen who pulled him together Put, so he has absolute loyalty to the spw consortium.

How could such a person be their help?

Although he felt it was absurd in his heart, Van Meer did not refute his partner: because Van Meer vaguely remembered that this partner had selflessly helped him during the most difficult period when he was about to starve to death.

The relationship between the two is similar to that of Spitwagen and the owner of the exhibition room. In order to show respect for each other's maximum privacy, he didn't even ask about his partner's double ability.

And this partner did not continue to reveal his plan, but raised an imperceptible smug smile at the corner of his mouth, and thought in his heart: "Next, I will use my 'year history book' to create a unique plan that is beneficial to the plan." Order it!"

040. Dimensionality Reduction Strike

In order to provide Aerosmith with the best detection results and to guard against possible substitute messengers, the spw consortium headquarters, which was originally lively and luxurious enough to accommodate thousands of employees, suddenly became desolate.

Except for the armed guards, only a few absolutely reliable backbones were able to stay behind, and Mobley, the chief director who ranked among the top three in the entire consortium's shares, was one of them.

Because of Jotaro's words, many of the company's top executives had to evacuate the headquarters, and even the Joestar family's detached position in the consortium was quite critical of this decision.

But these high-level executives did not include Mobley, the veteran backbone of the group. Ever since he failed to start a business and wanted to commit suicide, he was rescued by passing Robert Spitwagen and entrusted him with trust to develop his talents. The loyalty is dedicated to the spw consortium.

His life can be said to be saved by Spitwagen like an angel, and according to Spitwagen, when he was just a gangster on London's Ghoul Street many years ago, he was also saved by Jonathan Joestar in the same way. save.

Not only that, generations of members of the Joestar family have always fought against monsters capable of subverting the entire world in places out of public view, and saved the human world more than once.

And because he was rescued by Jonathan, he was able to walk out of Ghoul Street, and in the end he happened to become a billionaire. What he can do for this family is to rely on his financial and material resources in the secular world to fully support The successors who inherited Joestar's name.

When Spitwagen was dying, he entrusted this responsibility to Mobley, who had become the top executive of the group. The funds and support for the Stardust Crusade expedition to Egypt ten years ago were basically dispatched by Mobley.

Such a man who dedicated his faith and soul to the Joestar family has naturally won Jotaro's full trust. In addition, Mr. Mobley, as a former friend of Spitwagen, is already in his 80s this year. At an advanced age, he is still responsible for a lot of group work in the headquarters on weekdays. As a junior, Jotaro is embarrassed to let him move out.

Of course, Mobley is aware of the strange existence of doubles, and also understands Jotaro's difficulties. He will not move around in a large area to interfere with Aerosmith's investigation, and he is ready to fight without compromise to anyone.

That being said, the restrictions on movement still make Mobley feel a bit boring-for Americans who advocate freedom, prohibit parties or wear a mask to rebel, Mobley can accept this step, which has proved Affected his loyalty to the Speedwagons and the Joestars.

Fortunately, Mobley still has a relatively nerdy hobby: collecting all kinds of rare artworks in his own home, and then enjoying them quietly alone, enjoying this elegant and quiet time away from commercial competition and urban hustle and bustle.

But even for a rich man of his level, some collections are not so easy to get. He recently reached an agreement with a world-renowned master of realist painting and added more A masterpiece.

After a day's work, Mobley, who was a little tired, returned to his home, left all his troubles and concerns, walked into his collection room, and devoted himself to the appreciation of new collections.

Realistic paintings are not very popular in collections. After all, with the development of the times, excellent realistic painting apprentices can be mass-produced.

Therefore, many famous paintings with high value either have the addition of old background stories, or have unique styles and rich interpretation value.

However, the style of this master's work is quite back to the basics: it doesn't play any bells and whistles, it is the ultimate restoration of the real thing, and lifelike is not enough to describe it. When the level of realism reaches a certain level, it can go beyond the conventional guidelines and give the audience the best Simple and direct visual impact.

"It's so similar, it's amazing!"

Mobley stood in front of the painting and looked at the painter and friends depicted in the painting. No matter how he looked at it, he felt like he was staring at a living person, so realistic that he would say hello to himself in the next moment.

This skill alone is enough to make Mobley feel valuable, and remind him of the joy and satisfaction he felt when he just received it and added it to his collection.

At this moment, Mobley suddenly frowned, realizing something was wrong: the painting in front of him seemed to have undergone some slight changes from the last time he saw it.

As a professional connoisseur, even if he used his presbyopic eyes to find the difference, Mobley could pass the level easily, and naturally he would not doubt his own eyesight.

Although the poses of the characters are roughly the same, the accumulation of subtle movements of the body and clothing is enough to change the layout of the whole picture at a glance. Mobley can conclude that the painting in front of him is definitely not the same as the one he put in the collection room with his own hands. !

In a well-guarded treasury room, it is absolutely impossible to put in a small thief who dropped his bag, so the answer is a little scary.

The enemy has sneaked into the SPW headquarters, and it is likely to be in the room next to him!

After all, Mobley is the psychological quality that Shang Hai has worked hard for decades. He quickly suppressed his heartbeat, pretended to walk away as if nothing had happened, and went to see other collections. In fact, he wanted to ring the alarm bell in the collection room.

This alarm bell is connected to multiple alarm devices in the headquarters, as long as it rings, even if he cannot get out of the collection room alive, it is enough to send a reminder to Jotaro.

"You will surely avenge me!"

Under great fear and pressure, Mobley walked towards the alarm bell step by step.

The moment he guessed the truth, he had already controlled his facial expressions and body movements as quickly as possible, so as not to startle the enemy.

But a humanoid stand-in quietly emerged from the canvas and walked towards the old man's back.

No way, no matter how good Mobley's control was just now, the stand-in envoy Van Meer himself can keep looking at him face to face!

Mobley's hand was about to touch the alarm bell, just a little away...

But he couldn't go any further, because his body lost most of its weight and volume at some point, and became as light as paper, like an astronaut who strayed into space without wearing a special gravity suit. Can't take a single step.

The double "Giotto" has touched his body.

Mobley wanted to cry out in desperation, but Giotto had already held his paper figure and stuffed it into the frame of the nearest painting.

Just like a living thing fused into amber, Mobley's flat body is fixed in the same two-dimensional space on the side of the canvas, unable to speak, move, or even make any expressions.

But he could still see the outside world, hear the voices of the outside world, maintain the ability to think but couldn't move, it must be said that it was a kind of extreme torture.

Only the right hand that almost rang the alarm bell still maintains a three-dimensional shape, extending vertically out of the frame, which looks extraordinarily weird.

"It's really a failure. It doesn't allow you to fully immerse yourself in the world of art! You can't make this mistake in the next paintings."

Van Meer, who walked out of the picture frame, smiled and looked at the client who was hit by his dimensionality reduction.

Mobley finally knew the true face of the enemy, who was the painter with whom he had made a deal, and the "next painting" he said must be used to deal with the Joestar family and the new guests, so he couldn't help but be filled with grief and indignation.

Van Meer laid out his conditions leisurely: "I can let you go free, but you must deliver my painting to Jotaro and Bugarati's team. If you agree, use your only movable hand, for example One OK."

Before the words fell, Mobley's five fingers had all been opened, shaking vigorously, showing a gesture of rejection.

Van Meer curled his lips, deeply expecting this, and looked at his partner.

"I leave it to you, Mr. Valentine."

In order to show respect, he has always called this partner by his last name: Fabier Valentine, and consciously averted his eyes so as not to spy on his partner's substitute ability.

Fabiel nodded, grabbed two pieces of priceless drawing paper, and pressed them one after the other on the canvas where Mobley was, forming a double-bread sandwich.

Thus, his stand-in ability "History of Time" came into effect...

041. The original napkin

Mobley, who couldn't move at all, was already in despair, and could only keep silently chanting the creed of "I must never be sorry to Mr. Spitwagen in the slightest" in his heart.

But as he was caught between two pieces of paper, a stand-in with long ears and a roll of books appeared behind Fabiel. After the law of space was subverted, some kind of change across time also occurred. .

In a daze, Mobley returned to the node that changed his life decades ago.

Investment failures, family separations, and massive debts that could not be repaid all overwhelmed Mobley, who was still young at the time.

Just when he was about to commit suicide, a nobleman who happened to pass by rescued him and gave Mobley a chance to make a comeback, and only then did he become a billionaire and the head of a consortium.

This kind of kindness, for the decent Mobley, is worth going through fire and water and repaying it in a lifetime.

But the problem is that in the scene of his memory, the image of that noble man changed from an old version of Spitwagen with short blond hair, a few scars engraved on his face, and a kind face, to Faye with curly blond hair. Bill Valentine.

Except for the deviation at this node, Mobley's subsequent life trajectory has not changed at all, and I have not found the slightest abnormality, nor has there been any deviation in my identity recognition.

But in his mind, the benefactor who was willing to go through fire and water for him has changed candidates.

This is the ability of Suiyue Shishu, which represents the "singularity" in the fourteen code words: through the clamping action, a deviation point defined by the stand-in holder can be created in the opponent's past, completely subverting all aspects of this part. cognition.

This is the meaning of the name "Time History Book". As long as the content written on it, it will become reality and overturn the past.

However, since the substitute energy is not enough to disturb the entire world line, this change will not produce a butterfly effect, but only a single singularity.

Just as Mr. Gai subverted the entire era with the power of the Holy Grail, although the "History of the Years" as a stand-in does not currently have the ability to change the entire era, it can start from a certain key point to achieve the effect Fabier wants.

Even retaining Mobley's memory of his own identity will be more beneficial to him.

In other words, Mobley is still Mobley, one of the largest shareholders of the SPW consortium, and several people most trusted by the Joestar family.

But the object of his unswerving pursuit in his heart has become Fabir, and he has become the most suitable executor for the plan of "delivering the painting to Jotaro and the Bugarati team".

"Van Mir, you can release him now."

Fabiel retracted his double, and said to the painter who turned his back in a soft tone.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why the painter is so devoted to Fabier is also because Fabier used the "year history book" to create a singularity in his past that "I helped you when you were down."

Van Meer obediently drove his stand-in to pull Mobley out of the painting and restore it to a three-dimensional appearance.

Mobley, who had returned to normal, looked a little confused.

Due to the tampering of his memory by that singularity, his brain is now in chaos, but he still remembers his identity, and the curly-haired man in front of him has the grace of rebuilding himself.

"My friend, I really need you to do a few things for me."

Fabiel's tone at this time was not like the villain in the soap opera who was too complacent after his tricks succeeded, but full of affinity, and he opened his arms righteously.
