hero?it must be me

[That man, or that boy, has a light blooming... No, I'm not sure if it can be called light. 】

[It is of quality. 】

[It's almost like an impact of some kind of actual mass, right! 】

[If you want to describe it, it feels like being impacted by the "will" with quality on the body! 】

[When I saw that brilliance, that's how I felt! 】

—Almost all eyewitnesses said so.

[I see the light. 】

In the end, the local police determined that these witnesses probably suffered mental or memory disturbances because they were too scared and panicked in the face of sudden shooting incidents as victims, so that they were still verbal when providing testimony. Don't choose words.

But there is one piece of information that can be extracted from the testimonies of more than a dozen witnesses at the scene.

That is, the person who confronted the gun-wielding thug and successfully repelled him was an extremely tall Asian male.

After investigating the hotel check-in registration information, the police also found Zheng Qi who went to the coffee shop to meet his companions.

And Darby, who was found in the coffee shop at that time, could only be regarded as a subtle episode for the local police.

Having said that, the police did not make things difficult for Zheng Qi.

After all, judging from multiple testimonies, although it was Zheng Qi who started the fight, it was Arlesi who pulled out a submachine gun that actually caused the escalation of the incident.

Coupled with the backing of the SPW consortium, in the end, Zheng Qi, who can only be characterized as the cause of the brawl in theory, was released after just making a set of transcripts, just like Jotaro and the others.

As for Darby, although the injury is strange, the testimony of other people in the store and the physical examination of Darby have verified the conclusion that Jotaro and others did not commit extreme violence against him.

Therefore, even if some veteran police officers are more or less aware that Zheng Qi and the others are likely to be the source of this series of disturbances, but without conclusive evidence, and with the behind-the-scenes negotiations of the SPW consortium, they can only deal with Zheng Qi and others. I can handle it with ease.

Now, the relevant manpower in the entire area is investigating Arlesi who, in the eyes of the police, chose to jump into the river and escape.

"That's about it."

After speaking concisely and clearly about God Seth and Goddess Bast, which didn't take much time to solve, Zheng Qi took a sip of black tea.

He is really not used to coffee, unless it is added with milk or milk foam.

"In this way, only the bird named Petesia and Darby's younger brother are left in the Nine Honors God?"

Polnareff smiled and said, "Sounds easy, a stupid bird, and one is that Darby's brother."

"Don't take it lightly, Polnareff, or you will definitely suffer when the time comes."

Abdel solemnly warned: "In Dior's mansion, besides the two last members of the Nine Glory Gods, there is also Vanilla Ace who makes Zheng Qi feel a little tricky, have you forgotten?"

"And, most importantly, we're about to face that Dior!"

"Well……"

Polnareff scratched his head.

As usual, he would definitely say something to Abdel.

But this time, he couldn't refute.

Only by facing Dior in person can you understand that feeling.

That kind of powerlessness and fear as if being dragged gently and persistently into the bottomless darkness by countless invisible hands, but unable to make any resistance and struggle.

Abdel's words made the atmosphere on the table serious.

Dior.

This name, just the appearance of the name, is enough to bring such a coldness that seems to be able to sweep away the heat of the scorching sun.

"In short, the remaining people around Dio are guys who won't leave his mansion easily. In other words, we can basically go all the way to Dio's mansion to fight."

"Anubis and Horthos will join us along the way before then."

"So, when it comes to the battle plan, the first thing we have to deal with is Petesia."

With that said, Zheng Qi tapped the table lightly.

"I have a proposal for this troublesome guy with air power."

Chapter 132Chapter 130: Immortality! (Bushi

Just as Zheng Qi thought, after defeating Aresi, Malaya, and Darby, everyone's journey became calm again.

During this period of stability, Zheng Qi made a lot of preparations for the next battle.

First of all, it is equipment.

Although I said before that most of the essence of thoughts will be used to unlock runes, in fact, in order to prepare for emergencies, every time the essence of thoughts is obtained, Zheng Qi will leave a small part of the magic book and convert it into a mall currency.

Therefore, in addition to giving Jotaro and the others two bottles of life potion, Zheng Qi also gave each of them a healing orb.

In the game, the effect of the healing orb is to increase the hero's basic life recovery by a percentage.

But here in the Grimoire, the effect of the healing orb has undergone certain changes.

After a living body wears it, the life potential in its body will be stimulated to a certain extent, so that the vitality possessed by the living body can be activated to a small extent.

As a result, it can accelerate the wearer's self-healing, reduce fatigue, and speed up the wearer's physical recovery.

Even when the wearer is seriously injured and dying, the healing orb has the ability to stabilize the injury, allowing the wearer to survive as long as possible. In this way, both the success rate of rescue and the chance of dying in a seriously injured state will be greatly improved. .

Not only that, if worn for a long time, it can also prolong life and delay aging.

Moreover, the method of taking effect is also very simple. You only need to wear it on your body and stick it to your skin, and the healing orb will continue to work.

It can be said that it is a very cost-effective equipment.

Jotaro and the others are already used to Zheng Qi showing all kinds of weird props from time to time.

But when wearing the healing orb, everyone was still taken aback.

Especially Er Qiao.

The moment he put on the healing orb, something incredible happened to Joseph Joestar!

"Oh oh oh!"

Golden lightning burst out all over his body, and the ripples that were almost overflowing from his body were so violent that Er Qiao, who hadn't practiced the ripples for many years and was a bit unfamiliar with them, couldn't control them for a while.

And under the light of the entangled golden ripples, in front of everyone, Er Qiao's body, which can be called old and vigorous, seemed to have swelled a bit.

But that's not the most obvious.

What really surprised everyone was the drastic change in Er Qiao's face!

Black hair replaced white hair, wrinkles quickly disappeared, and the skin that was a little dry due to age began to become firm again, and even showed a youthful radiance.

If we say that the former Er Qiao, under the influence of the ripples, with a body in his 60s, presented a tough middle-aged man who seems to be less than 50 years old...

Then, the current Er Qiao, at the age when he should be in his 60s, has regained a young body in his twenties!

40 years!

For nearly 40 years, the deep marks left by that long time have disappeared on Joseph Joestar!

"This, this?!"

Abdel exclaimed.

"Mr. Joestar was originally a genius of Ripple, and his life potential is extraordinary. It seems that the healing orb reacted with the ripples in Mr. Joestar's body, which made those who were negligent in training The life potential that has been silenced by practice is reactivated."

Zheng Qi explained solemnly beside him.

"So, Polnareff, don't look at me like that. Unless you also learn to ripple, you won't be able to achieve this effect. Moreover, even with Mr. Joestar's talent, it is impossible to do it. To the extent of immortality and immortality, at most it is longevity, it is difficult to grow old."

Polnareff, who looked happy and surprised, suddenly showed a somewhat disappointed expression.

But then he showed a thoughtful expression.

It seems that he is seriously thinking about Zheng Qi's proposal, thinking about whether to learn Ripple.

"..."

Looking at his palm surrounded by ripples of brilliance, the surprise on Er Qiao's face gradually subsided, and he regained his youth, but there was not much joy in his brows, and more solemnity seemed to be in deep thought.

Er Qiao's silence made the atmosphere that had been a little noisy due to the change suddenly cool down.

Everyone stared at him.

After all, what has really changed is Er Qiao's own body. If there is any problem, only Er Qiao himself knows best.

"……call."

After a long while, Er Qiao let out a breath, as if he was sighing, and seemed to let go of something for the time being.

He put away the almost overflowing ripples on his body.

"I feel good, I haven't felt so alive in a long time."

Er Qiao said with a smile.

Seeing his smile, everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere suddenly eased down.

"Hey, to be honest, Zheng Qi, although your stand-in looks harmless to humans and animals, I think your cat is the most outrageously capable stand-in I've ever seen."

Hanging the healing orb around his neck, Polnareff touched his chin and looked at the magic tome lying on Zheng Qi's shoulder.

As if sensing Polnareff's gaze, Yuumi's Grimoire raised his head, glanced at Polnareff with sapphire-like eyes, then turned around, and stepped lightly on four soft pads. Walking on Zheng Qi's shoulders, wrapped around Zheng Qi's neck, jumped on top of Zheng Qi's head, and lay down again.

At this height, if Zheng Qi didn't lower his head, even if Polnareff tipped his head up, he wouldn't be able to see the small body of Grimoire.

"Uh……"

Among the doubles, there are also types with self-awareness.

Although rare, they do exist.

Zheng Qi also said that his magic cat belongs to this category.

But in theory, the substitute is the embodiment of the spirit and soul of the substitute messenger.

and so……

Am I hated by Zheng Qi?

Polnareff scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Don't mind."

Zheng Qi patted Polnareff on the shoulder: "Except for me, she basically treats everyone like this."

"Ah, ah, so."

"Then……"

With that said, Zheng Qi took out a jewelry box from behind.

"Mr. Joestar, take this as a gift for Grandma Siji Q."

He handed the jewelry box to Er Qiao.

"Well?"

As if he had already thought of something, Er Qiao took the jewelry box with a groan, and opened it for a look.

"This--"

"This is already prepared, but I'm worried that if I touch two of them at once, it will have an excessive reaction with the ripples in your body, so I give them separately."

Zheng Qi said softly: "Healing orbs can be combined in multiples to produce effects, but just like the saying in traditional Chinese medicine that deficiency cannot be supplemented, I hope you use it step by step. After all, Grandma Siji Q doesn't have ripples like yours. .”

"...Thank you, Zheng Qi."

"I know it might be a bit hypocritical in your culture, but I'm going to say it anyway."

Carefully closing the jewelry box and pulling the brim of his hat, Er Qiao lowered his head slightly, stretched out his hand and patted Zheng Qi's arm heavily.

"Thank you, Zheng Qi."

Zheng Qi didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

This is an episode of the journey that happened when Zheng Qi delivered the healing orb to everyone.

And the stable time finally stopped on the day before entering the city where Dior's mansion was located.
