stand-in creed

At this moment, Nero wanted to curse.

Josuke, it's been more than a second since my leg was broken, why haven't your follow-up attacks kept up? !

Seeing that Jousuke even wanted to go forward to heal his wounds, Nero couldn't help shouting together with Nijimura Kyozhao who was pulled closer to the electric current.

"Hurry up and attack him, Jousuke—!"

"Don't come near me, Okuyasu—!"

Jousuke hesitated for a moment, "But, but your feet..."

And Yitai, who was trying to step forward to do something, was also stunned by his brother Xingzhao's roar.

Nero really wanted to ask Jousuke, is this the time to worry about his mere one foot?

But time waits for no one, watching Xingzhao Nijimura being pulled into the socket by the electric double, Nero has no time to talk to Jousuke at all, ignoring the severe pain in his leg and yelling at Xingzhao Nijimura who is about to disappear road.

"intelligence--!!!"

"O(お)..."

sizzle.

Just leaving such a hiragana in time, Hongcun Xingzhao disappeared.

"whispering sound!"

Nero frowned.

Click!

One punch shattered the glass of the skylight and jumped onto the roof, trying to find traces of the enemy.

But it's a pity that the enemy's body doesn't seem to be here from the beginning, and there is no trace for Nero to find. Only the carbonized corpse of Hongcun on the high-voltage wire in the distance declares the enemy's victory.

Dongfang Josuke and Hongcun Yiyasu jumped onto the rooftop immediately after, and saw the corpse of Hongcun Xingzhao in the distance.

Hongcun Yitai was stunned on the spot.

Dongfang Josuke looked at Nero's back by the roof and Nero's distorted right foot, and came to Nero's side like a child who had done something wrong.

"Sorry, Nero. I just froze..."

"..."

Nero turned his head and placed his hands lightly on Jousuke's shoulders.

"Josuke."

Nero spoke.

The voice was very calm, soft and quiet, and no anger could be heard in it.

But the calmer the words, the more uneasy Higashija Jousuke felt.

"Jousuke, come here, come here."

Nero gently pushed Jousuke in front of him, and gently turned Jousuke's head to let him look at the corpse of Hongcun Xingzhao in the distance.

"Did you see the body of Komura Katasamu, Jousuke?"

"……Saw."

"Nigimura Katacho, maybe Okuyasu might not be happy when he heard this, he is a damned person—although he should be damned, but he shouldn't die like this. He should at least give up all the "information" before he dies.

"He's dead, and we lost the intelligence of this stand-in messenger who can travel through the Circuit.This is a powerful stand-in, with a super-long range, strength and speed comparable to Platinum Star, and when such a stand-in becomes an enemy, even sleeping in a room with a socket becomes a luxury.

"Keep this scene in your mind.

"The world of stand-in messengers is cruel. You will not be lenient just because you are a student or a minor, and there are no strict laws and reliable police uncles to protect you. You can only rely on yourself. There is no next time you should do it" If you do it at the first time, the corpse in front of you may be someone else's corpse.

"My, Tomoko's, Ryohei's, Joseph Joestar's, and even your own."

"……I see."

"It would be great if you could really remember."

Nero patted Josuke's shoulder lightly, and turned his gaze back to Nijimura Katome on the high voltage wire.

Things seem to be in trouble.

In the past stand-in battles, it would be troublesome because you didn't know the opponent's ability.

But this enemy who called himself "Scarlet Pepper" in front of him was different. It was precisely because he knew the opponent's ability that Nero felt a headache from the bottom of his heart.

Just like Dior.

"that……"

At this moment, a timid voice came from behind.

It's Koichi Hirose.

I saw Hirose Koichi timidly pointing at Nero's distorted right foot.

"...Well, don't your feet hurt?"

"It hurts so much that tears are about to flow out."

"Then why don't you let Jousuke heal? Just like when he treated me just now."

"Because I'm thinking about when Jousuke will react. My foot hasn't healed yet."

Hearing the conversation between Nero and Koichi, Dongfang Josuke's face froze when he was immersed in the death of Nijimura Katasha and Nero's admonition.

Oops!

"sorry Sorry sorry--

"—Crazy Diamond!!!"

Chapter 23 Spicy Red Chili Pepper II

Hongcun Xingzhao died.

The Duwang Town police, who were rushed to hear the news, defined it as a suicide case of climbing a high-voltage cable without authorization.

Seeing his brother's body being covered with a white cloth and sent to the ambulance, Hongcun Yitai clenched his fists with tears in his eyes.At this time, Nero walked towards Yitai, and at this time, Yasushi Hirose spoke beside Nero in a low voice.

"Well, isn't it better not to disturb him at this time..."

"Excuse me?" Nero glanced at Koichi Hirose next to him, "Although I don't feel any sadness at the death of Yoshiaki Nijimura, I kind of know how it feels when someone close to me dies. Mura Yiyasu was probably in a very bad mood at this time.

"But—it's not me who doesn't give Hongcun Yitai time to adjust his mood, it's Xinhongchili."

Done.

Nero went straight to Hongcun Yitai's side.

Hongcun Yitai watched the ambulance leave, sent his brother's body to go through the necessary procedures, and finally sent it to the funeral home for cremation.And Nero came to Yitai's side.

"Nigimura Itsuya, I won't pretend to say something like 'sad over your brother's death'.But there is only one thing I can tell you, that is, I will definitely pick out the spicy red pepper, so I need your cooperation.

"Before your brother died, when I asked him for information, he said the sound of "O", do you have any clues? "

"..."

Hongcun Yitai let go of his clenched fist.

"Maybe it's my name? Okuyasu?"

Nero shook his head: "He said the beginning after I called out "Information", it should be related to the real body of the spicy red pepper, think again? "

Hongcun Yitai shook his head: "Sorry, brother, he doesn't tell me many things, thinking that I will only hinder him..."

After hearing that, Nero sighed.

Information is broken.

Just as Nero turned around and was about to leave, Hongcun Yitai suddenly stopped Nero.

"……why?"

Hongcun Yitai asked a little confused: "My brain is not very smart, I don't understand at all, you are obviously not from Morio, not even Japanese, right? Why are you staying here to track down that guy Is there a reason? Do you think you are a partner of justice?"

"justice?"

Hearing this word, Nero couldn't help laughing.

Immediately Nero said seriously.

"I prefer the word 'happiness' to justice.

"When the stand-in messenger who is not restricted by the law and can't be controlled by the police starts to do evil, his ambition will definitely expand step by step. After getting Moriwang Town, he will want to get S City, and after getting S City, he will get the entire Honshu Island, Then all of Japan, all of Asia, and the whole world.

"Maybe he won't be able to go that far, but he will definitely walk on this road. At that time, it will not be a matter of you alone in Duwang Town—Xin Hongjiao may not have the ability to dominate the world, but he must have the ability to plunge the world into chaos. Ability.

"Those important people in the world who don't have the ability to stand in, probably none of them can escape the pursuit of Xin Hongjiao, right?

"I have a goddaughter who is just six years old and is a very sweet little girl. And one day I will have a wife, children of my own, and a family of my own. I hope my family can live in a peaceful and stable In the world, enjoy warm and long-term happiness.

"I don't want them to live in a world where there are people like Dio, like your brother Nijimura, and people like this Chili Pepper.

"I will use my hands to eliminate all factors that may destroy this happiness."

After leaving this sentence, Nero left.

Since Hongcun Yitai didn't have any useful information, he could only figure out a way by himself.

Not far away, Dongfang Josuke's eyes kept wandering between Hongcun Yiyasu and Nero, not knowing whether to stay and comfort Yiyasu, or to follow the pace of Nero's departure.But there is no need to worry about it for the next moment, Nero turned his head to look at Jousuke.

"Jousuke, chat with that kid Otoyasu, I'm going back to your house first—give me the arrow."

"Ah, um..."

Higashija Jousuke nodded, and handed the bow and arrow to Nero.

The bow was bought by Hongcun Xingzhao himself.

The body of the arrow was probably made by Hongcun Xingzhao himself.

Only the "arrow" part is the real valuable part.

Nero broke the arrow directly, leaving only the arrow in his trouser pocket, and prepared to take it to the SPW consortium when he returned to the United States to see the goddaughter in the future.Right now, he went back to Jousuke's house first, and began to think about the current situation.

The first is the enemy's stand-in-Xinhong Chili.

"A telescopic stand-in capable of moving in circuits.

"Extreme power, speed and precision.

"If it's a stand-in battle, does my Stairway to Heaven have a chance of winning?"

The information in Nero's hands is incomplete.

Nero didn't know that the data panel of Yin Shiming's "Xinhong Pepper" would increase or decrease depending on the power absorbed. He had to follow the Xinghongjiali's punch through the chest and Hongcun's shape, and the punch of his feet. Analyze the combat effectiveness displayed during the interruption.

And the more he thought about it, the more Nero realized that there was nothing he could do about the Stairway to Heaven.

The enemy is not Dior's "world", so it does not have the disadvantage of ripples, and it is impossible to use methods such as ripple fog to avoid the enemy from getting close.

The ultimate strength and speed mean that you can't find something to lock up like "temperance" and send him to an altitude of 8000 meters.There is nothing within the reach of Stairway to Heaven that can hold a chili pepper.

The only thing to be thankful for is——

——If you try to run, the enemy probably won't be able to catch you.

"Jingle Bell--"

at this time.

Dongfang's phone rang.

Nero looked at the phone and frowned, not intending to touch it - it was too close to the wire.

If this was a trap for the enemy to lure him close to the wire, he had no confidence at all that he could survive from the hands of the spicy red pepper at that extreme distance.

However, the other party seemed to understand Nero's thoughts.

"Zizzi-"

There was a short-circuiting sound from the landline phone.

The figure of spicy red pepper gradually appeared in Nero's field of vision.

The distance between the two sides was about five meters, and next to Nero was a wide open window, ready for him to run away at any time.It is relatively safe for Nero right now, so Nero is not in a panic, just waiting for the other party to speak.
