stand-in creed

"Meeting you for the first time, and——farewell, Mr. Kosaku Kawajiri."

Without even a scream, Kawajiri Kosaku's spirit seemed to be detonated into countless fragments, disappearing without a trace.

The remaining body froze for a while, and then the godless eyes gradually became clear.

It's just the eyes, but it seems to be a little different from the past.

"This is not the ability of "Killer Queen", but the ability of "Ghost".

"It's just not the same as in the storybook. After I came in, Yoshikage Kira felt that my soul was gradually merging with this body. Even if I want to leave, I can't seem to do it. It seems that this ability It can only be used once.

"—Dream one more time.

"It seems that such a dream can only be done once again, what a pity.

"but……"

A confident smile appeared on the face of Kawajiri Kosaku's body.

Yoshikage Kira recalled a scene he happened to see this morning.

Bloody Nero Zeppelin lost his ears and legs, and fled the street in embarrassment.

It wasn't Yoshikage Kira's ghost trying to follow Nero Zeppelin, but a real chance encounter when he was wandering around Morioh Town looking for a suitable target.

"Killer Queen's Third Bomb—

"—The Show Must Go On.

"—The swan song of a miracle.

"Killer Queen's final power, final bomb, final miraculous swan song!

"My Killer Queen has grown.He has grown to the point where no one can defeat him, and has grown into an "invincible" double than Nero Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven.

"No one can find me.

"No one can get in my way.

"There is no one in this world who can prevent me, Yoshikage Kira, from living a daily life as stable as a plant. After all——

"—any 'existence' trying to track me down.

"—any "misfortune" that tries to get in my way.

"Unfortunately, they will be hunted down endlessly by the third bomb "explosive disaster", until they are dominated by fear and can no longer have the idea of ​​tracking me, Kira Yoshikage, and leave Morioh town in embarrassment. Or stalk like a mangy dog, and finally die unfortunately under the third bomb.

"I, Yoshikage Kira, will be the one who "controls misfortune".

"I, Yoshikage Kira, will become the most "lucky" and "happiest" human being in the world——

"—Blessed!!!"

Yoshikage Kira was full of energy.

He walked into St. Germain's bakery with brisk steps, carefully selected today's lunch, took out the driver's license belonging to Kosaku Kawajiri, and took a look to confirm Kosaku Kawajiri's home address.

But in the wallet, Yoshikage Kira saw something else.

"Family portrait?"

beautiful wife.

young son.

Although his wife's hands are not very beautiful, Yoshikage Kira is still very satisfied.

Yoshikage Kira can't wait to enjoy the happiness of being named "office worker" in Kosaku Kawajiri's company; and to return to Kosaku Kawajiri's home and enjoy the daily life of being named "husband" and "father". Very interesting look.

Very suitable for mediocre people like myself.

"Ah, speaking of which, there is Ms. Aya Tsuji." Yoshikage Kira couldn't help thinking, "Although Yoshikage Kira's parts are still in her hands, they are no longer important. I have no intention of changing them back. On the contrary, it is that Miss Aya Tsuji has quite beautiful hands.

"Next time you go to Cinderella, go on a date with her."

Chapter 75

In front of Grape Hill High School.

Nero, who was healed by Crazy Diamond, including his clothes, stood on the side of the road, feeling complicated.

Complicated, not confused.

If ordinary people encountered such a substitute attack, they would probably be in a panic at this moment, right?But it's clear that Nero is no ordinary person.Although Nero didn't think he was a big shot above others, at least in terms of stand-in combat experience, there probably weren't many people on this planet who were richer than him.

Yoshikage Kira can't compare with himself!

Even though Nero's thoughts were extremely chaotic at this moment, and he was even oppressed by fear for a while, but at this moment Nero's eyes gradually became sharper.

"...As I reminded Jousuke, I already have a clue.

"If under such a series of offensives, I can't see what the enemy's ability is, I should go back to Italy and work in a law firm."

At least in terms of the new ability of "Killer Queen", Nero has seen through most of it.

Nero took a deep breath.

"Let's review this series of events with a detective's thinking.

"The first is the most simple and clear question——

"—whodunit.

"Who is the prisoner? The killer queen who lost her substitute messenger and ran away? No! Suzumi Sugimoto didn't see the soul of Yoshikage Kira who went away, which means that Yoshikage Kira's body died, but his soul still lingers in King Du Somewhere in the town, still at large.

"The soul of Yoshikage Kira is the prisoner I want to hunt down.

"Then Yoshikage Kira's motivation—

"—whydunit.

"There is no need to think about it. Just like what I said to Josuke, Yoshikage Kira's new ability is undoubtedly the ability to "obstruct investigation" or even "kill detectives"!A little review of what I have experienced from yesterday to today will make it clear.

"Incident [-], after killing Yoshikage Kira's body yesterday, I arrived at Suzumi's house in the rain, nothing happened.

"Incident [-], after I learned from Suzumi that I didn't see Yoshikage Kira's soul, I was about to go out to investigate, but when I opened the door, I was attacked by the Killer Queen in the raindrops.

"Incident [-], I stayed at Sugimoto's house for one night because of the heavy rain, but nothing happened.

"Event [-], on the way I left Sugimoto's house this morning to go to Kira's house to investigate, I encountered a series of attacks, and this series of attacks disappeared at a certain event as a turning point, that is——

"Event five, bird droppings on the top of the head.

"If I remember correctly, I literally made the decision to 'change the itinerary' just before I got hit on the head by bird droppings.Instead of going to Kira's house to investigate, I decided to prioritize looking for Jousuke to treat my injuries!

"All seemingly invisible and unconnected attacks actually have one thing in common, that is——

"—all happened on the way to find the truth.

"Although it looks very outrageous, this is the "switch" of Killer Queen's new ability!Everything is to hinder my investigation of him, and even to make me die in the process of investigation!The substitute is the embodiment of spiritual energy, this is the ability that was born from what he thought when he was stabbed by an arrow!

"This is not just Yoshikage Kira's "criminal motive", but also the activation condition of his ability.

"Once I track down Yoshikage Kira, once I start looking for the truth, Yoshikage Kira's killer queen ability will activate. Now that I know when (when) it will activate, then if I want to catch such Yoshikage Kira, It is necessary to solve the most fatal problem——

"—Howdunit.

"How does his Killer Queen's new ability "Concrete" work?

"If I don't crack this secret, I'm afraid I will never be the opponent of Yoshikage Kira."

Say so.

But Nero clearly has a clue.

The idea of ​​solving the problem had already appeared in his mind when the killer queen attacked him.

"Just considering what happened between the first attack yesterday and the end of the attack when the bird shit was poured on your head--

"raindrop.

"Unicorns.

"Baby crying.

"Melted ice cream.

"Crash bike tires.

"At first glance, these objects all have one thing in common, whether it is a solid or a sound wave, they have indeed "touched" me.But is that all?Could it be that as long as I'm tracking Yoshikage Kira, everything that touches me will become a bomb?

"Not at all, and the counterexample is—"

In front of the school gate.

Nero just stood there quietly, eyes closed and lost in thought.

Immediately, Nero's eyes flashed.

"—leaves.

"The fallen leaves of the two cherry trees that fell above my head.

"Obviously the fallen leaves with a lying unicorn fell on me one after another, but only the unicorn exploded, and those two fallen leaves did not cause any explosions - obviously this is why I was tracking down Yoshikage Kira Objects touched during the process. What does this mean?

"I don't hate falling leaves from cherry trees.

"It's better to say that walking under the cherry blossom tree and having a few fallen leaves fall on the body is a very pleasant thing. It would be even better if the cherry blossoms are in bloom! So this is the crux of the problem——

"—preference.

"This vocabulary must not be accurate enough, but at least that's how I judge it at the moment. If it is acceptable, whether it is something you like or don't care about, it will not cause any negative reactions. On the contrary, once you come into contact with what you hate Even if there is only a "little bit" of disgust, it will definitely cause the killer queen to explode!

"In that case—

"— Stairway to Heaven!!!"

The wind concealed Nero's figure.

The figure of the Ripple Warrior, together with the double, flew high into the air.

"Land is just too dangerous.

"Vehicles are dangerous.

"Vegetation is dangerous.

"The road is dangerous.

"Insects are dangerous.

"And human beings of all kinds are more dangerous than dangerous.

"But the sky is different, the sky is so wonderful! Except for the flocks of birds that look a bit ominous in the distance, but you can avoid them as long as you use your heart, the world under the sky is so empty, so—— —

"—Relax.
