Chapter 54 Pearl Jam Part Four

"Wait wait wait!"

Tonio wasn't just a little panicked, he was quite panicked.

Not only because of the high-speed rotating thing that Nero hung on his neck like a slice of a cutting machine, but also because of the terrifying look in the eyes on Nero's smiling face.

Born in Naples, although he is now practicing cooking all over the world, he integrates the advantages of cuisines from all over the world into Italian cuisine, and combines the strengths of hundreds of schools to reach the pinnacle.But even so, he would occasionally go back to China to have a look.

The look in Nero's eyes made Tonio think of a real gangster who came forward to dissuade him when he returned to his hometown and was robbed by gangsters at the beginning of this year. His name was——

Bruno Bucciarati.

It was a gangster who scared away several gangsters with just one look.

But the eyes of Nero in front of him are much scarier than that Bugarati!

Not only that, but beside Nero and the cow dung head on the seat, there appeared a figure of an evil spirit that looked very capable of fighting.

— Stairway to Heaven.

— Crazy Diamond.

"Don't do it! Don't do it! That, that, that's my ability!

"You guys have the same "ability" as me, right?I added my abilities to mineral water!

"My "pearl jam" can be mixed with ingredients to cook when cooking, and then heal people's ailments by destroying and regenerating!While the process can be scary, I swear it's really good for the body!

"The reason why only these two eyeballs respond is because only these two people present have sore eyeballs recently!"

Speaking of it.

A few harmless little tomatoes with human faces appeared beside the chef.

"Huh?"

Nero raised an eyebrow.

At the same time, Yitai and Kangyi, who were tearing up and down, and even their eyeballs shriveled, returned to normal.

Not just back to normal.

Even the eyeballs flickered.

"I, my eyes are healed!" Yitai said in surprise.

"It's not just the eyes!" Kang Yi was also quite shocked, "The eyes that were sore from preparing for the exam these days are not sore at all now! It's like sleeping for three consecutive days and waking up naturally. I don’t even think it’s so comfortable to take a good rest for the eyes!”

"Really, Koichi! Is there really nothing uncomfortable?" Yamagishi Yukako was very nervous.

"Well, it's really all right!" Kang Yi was sure.

Nero thought about it.

Immediately, Nero looked at the face in Tonio's hand again.

Cuttlefish ink noodles.

The noodles are black and shiny, served with carefully cooked shrimp, pasta dishes decorated with basil leaves and cherry tomatoes.

"This is?"

"...This is a dish to help you condition your lungs."

Tonio said nervously.

Nero nodded thoughtfully: "I'm sorry, chef, I seem to have misunderstood you. There are too many substitute emissaries doing evil in this Duwang Town. As a detective, I have been a little sensitive recently and overreacted." .”

"...No, it's okay."

Tonio was still a little upset at first.

But after hearing the second half of Nero's sentence, he couldn't help but feel happy.

"Du Wang Town...is there an evil substitute messenger?"

Tonio probably also realized that the term stand-in messenger refers to people like them with special evil spirits.

Nero nodded: "Did you read the news on TV a while ago? That was done by one of the substitute messengers named Angelo, and now he has gone where he should go. But other than that, King Du There are still other vicious people in the town, and I am also tracking them down."

"...I also heard about the murder case a few days ago. I didn't expect such a secret."

If this is the case, no wonder the other party.

What's more, the other party's knife didn't really cut off his own neck, and he didn't lose anything, so he could only lament the impermanence of fate.

But if you think about it carefully, you still have to remind me next.

"Well... when you eat this cuttlefish noodles and adjust your lungs, there may be some weird scenes, please be prepared - don't hit me because of the weird scenes!"

"Like what scene?"

Thinking of the scene where Yitai and Kangyi burst into tears and their eyes were dry, Nero asked a little uneasy.

Tonio said solemnly: "It's just a hole in the back, and the lobes of the lungs will fly out and circle around before flying back into the body."

"..." Josuke.

"..." Yitai.

"..." Kang Yi.

"..." Yuhuako.

As for the target of this dish, Nero, he said strangely: "Blood Eagle?"

blood eagle.

A kind of punishment of the Vikings in Scandinavia in the middle ages, extremely bloody.By making two incisions in the back near the spine, the victim's lung lobes were pulled out of the chest cavity, causing the victim to suffocate to death.

Because the two bloody lung lobes look like two wings on the back, this punishment is called the blood eagle.

"...Although it looks a bit like it, please believe me, this is really used to condition the lungs!"

Tony said seriously.

Nero looked at the sparkling eyes of Yitai and Kang Yi, and took a deep breath.

"Josuke."

"Ok?"

"Prepare to rescue me."

"Hey, hey, don't you really want to eat it?"

"That's why I put your crazy diamond on standby! As long as there is one breath, it can be rescued, right?"

"Well……"

Jousuke swallowed.

All eyes were focused on Nero, and Nero carefully picked up the fork, revealing his eyes full of consciousness as if he was about to go back in time to Cairo in 1988, and once again challenged Dior one-on-one. Seriously insert it into the pasta.

Carefully roll the shiny black noodles on the fork perfectly, put them into the mouth full, and then——

"good to eat--!!!"

Nero's eyes widened.

Obviously knowing that after eating this plate of noodles, a terrible scene may happen to me, and knowing that this plate of noodles is made by a chef, but this plate of noodles is really delicious!Nero couldn't stop eating noodles at all.

Whoohoo!

Big mouthfuls of noodles were poured into the mouth, the black ink fish ink stained the lips and teeth, and the whole plate of noodles was being sent into the stomach pouch by Nero at an astonishing speed.

Then--

"My lungs are so hot! Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

In Nero's exclamation.

Under the stunned gazes of everyone, Nero's back, together with his clothes, tore a hideous gash.Under the effect of "Pearl Jam"'s stand-in ability, one after another lung lobes are scrambling to squeeze out the chest cavity and expose it to the air like swimmers who have held their breath for too long.

Jousuke saw that the situation was not good.

Just when Jousuke was about to rescue him, the exposed lung lobes returned to Nero's body, and the wound on the back near the spine healed as before, and there was no problem at all.

And Nero also stood there in high spirits, clenched his fists in both hands, feeling his physical condition happily.

"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-"

Accompanied by the rhythm of breathing.

Nero Zeppelin, shrouded in golden light, made him clenched his fists uncontrollably.

"Ah, such a powerful force!"

This night in the Torasadi restaurant, except for Yukako Yamagishi, who was afraid of making a fool of himself in front of Koichi, who was going to find another day to eat alone, everyone else was eating plate after plate, accompanied by splattered blood and intestines, and all kinds of food. From the body, it is enough to pile up marinades the size of footballs, enjoying the ultimate Italian food.

Nero, one book is enough.

But when the meal was over, Nero stared at the empty plate but was stunned for a moment.

"Mr. Tonio, could you please help me make some more packing?"

"It can be, but the dishes I make will lose their power if they are left out of the pan for too long, and become just Italian food that tastes good."

"Only the taste is fine, after all she can't leave the alley of life for some reason."

"That's it...please wait a moment."

Tonio nodded with a smile.

He tidied up his chef's hat carefully and stepped into the restaurant.

"If the job of a detective is to catch the criminal, it's the job of a chef to serve the best food to every guest, and that's what I, Tonio Torrazadi—

"—an honor as a chef."

Chapter 55 The Killer Queen Part One

calm night.

Yoshikage Kira drove the car on the streets of Morioh Town, heading for the destination — Morioh Hotel.

Unlike the stable and comfortable hunting career of more than ten years after getting the double named "Killer Queen", tonight's hunting made Yoshikage Kira a little rough, and his heart was beating differently.The reason is that the prey this time is different from those women who have no power to fight back against the killer queen, it is a substitute messenger.

Not just stand-ins.

According to the report of Kira Yoshihiro who returned home, the detective named Nero Zebelin is not only a stand-in messenger, but also a ruthless striker who has experienced many battles.On the other hand, apart from my father, I have never seen any other stand-in messengers in my life, let alone the experience of fighting.

Enemies are seasoned veterans.

I am just a fledgling recruit.

Even though he had never met Nero, the thoughtful Yoshikage Kira became very nervous after realizing the gap between the two parties, and even his fingernails began to grow crazily.

The car was parked on the side of the street near Du Wang Hotel, but Yoshikage Kira didn't get out of the car in a hurry, but just sat in the driver's seat with the engine turned off like a man in a middle-aged crisis, thinking about his next move.

"That detective, I'm afraid he could recognize me in the crowd the first time he saw me.

"What if you are recognized at the entrance of the hotel?

"What if you ran into him in the corridor of the hotel, at the door of his room?

"Should I quietly turn his doorknob into a bomb, or test his ability with the "Wither Heart Attack" first? "

Yoshikage Kira was breathing hard.

This sense of tension, the feeling that every nerve in the whole body was tense before committing the crime, reminded Yoshikage Kira of the night 15 years ago.

The night that Suzumi Sugimoto was killed.

It was the first murder in his life.

The state of mind at this moment is similar to that of 15 years ago.

"...It's time to act."

Yoshikage Kira took a deep breath and got out of the car, walking towards the hotel.

Ordinary expression.

Ordinary pace.
