hero?it must be me

"Hey, according to the words of Zheng Qi's hometown, this is called using good steel on the blade."

Er Qiao laughed.

Jotaro didn't answer.

In fact, he was still thinking about the strange sound he heard before.

Even if Er Qiao is not going to look for Zheng Qi, Jotaro is actually planning to go to the cabin to find Zheng Qi after placing Xiangzi.

The old and the young walked back and forth like this, and as soon as they turned the corner of the corridor, they saw a person coming towards them.

"Oh! Zheng Qi! I'm going to find you!"

It was Zheng Qi who had just dealt with the fake sailor.

After he finished dealing with the fake sailor, he rushed back to his room, changed his clothes, wiped off the blood stains on his body, checked that the wounds caused by the barnacles on his body were healed, and then asked a sailor. Er Qiao and their whereabouts.

After learning that a girl suspected of being a stowaway suddenly appeared on the ship, and after confirming that Jotaro and the others should take the girl to the infirmary, Zheng Qi rushed towards the infirmary.

He still remembered the words of the fake sailor.

On the ship, there is probably another [time bomb] that has not been dismantled.

Seeing Erqiao and Jotaro, Zheng Qi nodded and greeted them.

As soon as the two sides got closer, the expressions of Erqiao and Jotaro suddenly changed slightly.

"Zheng Qi, why do you smell like blood?"

Er Qiao frowned and asked.

Chapter 28 Chapter 27: I, Jiang Zi, killed it with one move!

Zheng Qi was not surprised by the reactions of Er Qiao and Cheng Taro.

He didn't have time to wash his body with soap, and he didn't have the habit of spraying perfume. At that time, barnacles almost covered his entire upper body. The torn flesh and squeezed blood were enough to make an adult male go into shock due to excessive blood loss.

This amount will inevitably leave a more obvious smell on Zheng Qi's body. Even if the blood stains are wiped off with a towel dipped in water, the smell will still remain on the body surface.

Jotaro is a person who takes fighting as a daily routine, and Er Qiao is a legendary player who returned triumphantly from that peerless battle. It is normal for the two of them to feel the smell of blood.

"It's a long story, so I'll make it short."

Zheng Qi didn't delay, first asked the magic tome, who was still busy counting the essence of thoughts, to help him open an oracle lens and scan the surroundings to ensure that there would not be any stealthy doubles lurking around to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Different from the situation in the game, after the Grimoire repaired part of the functions with the essence of thoughts, Zheng Qi now has the three out-of-the-box accessories of [Reconnaissance Guard], [Oracle Lens], and [Foresight Transformation] for free, or more accurately More specifically, it is [skill].

The three kinds of accessories are available at the same time, and there is no need to go back to the spring every time you switch to a different accessory like in the game.

But relatively, there is a [cooling time] limit for Zheng Qi to use these three accessories.

A maximum of two Scout Wards can be placed every 24 hours, and each Scout Ward lasts for a full 12 hours.

The oracle lens can be used 24 times every 4 hours, and each time lasts for 1 minute.

Foresight transformation is relatively harsh, it can only be used once every 7 days, and even people without a substitute can clearly see the special guard created through foresight transformation.

Of course, this concept of time is for the convenience of Zheng Qi's understanding, so the magic book uses the hour system he is most familiar with. If some special circumstances are encountered, different cooling time feedback may also be generated.

In short, when the oracle lens is turned on, a spherical area with a diameter of 50 meters centered on Zheng Qi will be scanned by the oracle lens.

Unlike the game that only shows enemy units and traps in the early warning, the oracle lens given by the grimoire is more like a sonar radar in the form of magic.

In the end, it doesn't matter if you don't scan, but after this scan, something went wrong.

Zheng Qi's eyes followed the warning of the oracle lens and fell on Er Qiao's arm.

"What's wrong? Looking at me like this all of a sudden?"

Seeing that Zheng Qi didn't speak suddenly, and stared straight at his arm, Er Qiao suddenly couldn't stand it.

"Mr Joestar, let me see your arm."

"What happened suddenly?"

Er Qiao looked confused, but still stretched out both hands in front of Zheng Qi.

"..."

Zheng Qi stared at the two arms, and then grabbed Er Qiao's right forearm with both hands.

"The pain is only for a moment, bear with it, Mr. Joestar."

"Huh? What hurts—Ohhhhhh!"

Before Er Qiao could ask any more questions, Zheng Qi's hands holding his right forearm suddenly erupted with real flames!

Unprepared for the sudden burning pain on his arm, Er Qiao, who was still confused a second ago, immediately put on the pain mask, and subconsciously let out a loud cry of pain.

"Oh! My! God!"

Visible to the naked eye, Er Qiao suffered severe burns on his right forearm!

Seeing this situation, Jotaro was startled, he never expected that Zheng Qi would actually hurt Er Qiao.

But at the moment when he hesitated, a sudden change occurred on Er Qiao's right forearm!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

From Er Qiao's right forearm, suddenly there was a childish scream.

The cry was so loud that it even overwhelmed Er Qiao's voice.

Immediately afterwards, both Er Qiao and Jotaro, who were attracted by the cry, noticed that between the gaps between Zheng Qi's hands, something about the size of a finger jumped out wrapped in flames.

That scream was what this thing was making.

But before they had a closer look at what it was, the thing turned into ashes in the blazing flames and disappeared.

At the same time, Zheng Qi immediately let go of his hands, turned his hands and took out a bottle of life potion from behind, uncorked the bottle and poured a certain amount of liquid medicine on Er Qiao's right forearm.

In an instant, Er Qiao felt a coolness coming from his right forearm, overwhelming the burning pain, so fast that he even wondered if the burning pain was an illusion.

"Oh, oh oh, it really is different from seeing it when you experience it yourself."

Looking at the right forearm that had recovered to its original state within two or three seconds, Er Qiao unconsciously touched those parts where even the skin quality had improved a lot. It was hard to imagine that two or three seconds ago, these places would still make people want to eat The wound that does not eat.

"Sorry, Mr. Joestar, I made my own claim."

Zheng Qi took a careful look at Er Qiao's body by relying on the remaining effective time of the oracle lens, and after confirming that there was really nothing missing, he put away the remaining half bottle of life potion.

"It's okay, compared to this, Zheng Qi, what was that—"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

Just when Er Qiao wanted to ask, another sharp scream interrupted him.

It's just that this time, the voice sounded like a woman's, and it was farther away, as if...

"Infirmary?!"

Er Qiao looked in the direction of the infirmary.

"Could it be?!"

Jotaro ran first, followed by Zheng Qi and Er Qiao.

"I'll explain the details later, Jotaro, is that woman who is suspected of being a stowaway in the infirmary?"

"what."

Jotaro nodded.

"That's no wonder."

Zheng Qi said so.

Although they were skeptical about Zheng Qi's conclusion, the three of them didn't stop, and ran down to the door of the infirmary in just a few steps.

"What's wrong? What happened?!"

As soon as the three rushed in, they saw an astonishing scene.

I saw a pool of "semi-cooked meat" lying on the hospital bed.

It's a bit abstract to say so, but I have to say that this is probably the closest to reality.

On the white sheets of the hospital bed, a bloated woman lay crouched there, half of her body was entangled with a large lump of flesh exuding a burnt smell, and there were severe burn marks all over her convulsed body surface.

Seeing this scene, Er Qiao looked at Abdel.

After all, when it comes to burns, the first thing that comes to mind is Abdel's red magician.

However, Abdel also looked shocked and bewildered at the moment.

"What's the matter, Abdel?"

"Mr. Joestar, just now, Miss Zechuan let out a piercing scream, and then it was like being burned by an invisible flame, and then, from Miss Zechuan's body..."

Abdel stood up against the bloated woman who was dying.

"Invisible fire?"

Hearing this, Er Qiao seemed to have remembered something, and turned to look at Zheng Qi.

On the other hand, Zheng Qi walked to the bed, squatted down and took a serious look, then nodded slightly.

"Sure enough, it's [Empress]."

Chapter 29 Chapter 28: Old and unlucky

【Empress】, can be regarded as a rather subtle stand-in.

Its avatar ability is that it can parasitize its avatar on the surface of other organisms through its own blood. This avatar will absorb the nutrients and flesh and blood growth of the parasite like a parasite, and finally form a fully self-aware and offensive body. Small stand-in.

Of course, this is just a statement that is more inclined to actual performance.

The queen's substitute ability, in essence, can be transmitted through blood, proliferating new flesh and blood tissues, and the queen herself can control these flesh and blood tissues generated by the substitute to change their posture.

This allows the Empress's stand-in ability to have more magical effects.

For example, [camouflage].

The real body of the empress is the bloated woman whose whole body was burnt to the point where there was almost no good flesh left.

And the youthful, beautiful and pitiful Zechuan Xiangzi is what she pretended to be through a substitute.

Relying on the substitute sarcoma all over the body, after complex tissue changes, a man with a big arm and a round waist can also be transformed into a slender and weak girl.

It would be really not easy to see through her disguise if she hadn't known the Queen's double ability in advance.

Just now, by splashing blood on Er Qiao's arm, she allowed a small group of avatar seeds to parasitize Er Qiao's arm.

The Queen's persistence and range are both A, which means that as long as she is on this cruise ship, she can directly control this group of clone seeds.

The reason why she didn't let this seed take root in Er Qiao's arms immediately was because she was still on the sidelines, trying to find a chance to get rid of her suspicion.

After all, neither the empress's substitute nor the empress's substitute emissary itself is excellent in frontal combat.

The destructive power is C, and the precision is only D. In addition, if the grown avatar is damaged, it will normally affect the avatar's body. This frontal combat ability cannot be said to be weak, but it is really not good.

Furthermore, on this cruise ship, according to the information that Koko Zegawa knows, besides Er Qiao’s Hermit’s Purple, both the green Emperor of Kakyoin and the red magician of Abdel are stand-ins with impressive destructive power. , plus Jotaro and Zheng Qi, who don't know the details for the time being, if they act rashly, she is also afraid that stealing chickens will make them lose money.

Therefore, after prioritizing Er Qiao, who seemed to be the most useless stand-in, she was ready to wait patiently.

Who would have thought that on this cruise ship, someone opened it.

Zheng Qi did a scan just to be on the safe side, and it would be impossible for the empress to fix it directly.

This wave, this wave really opened up perspective.

The results are obvious.

From Phantom Blood to Bike Horse Yelang, Zheng Qi, who is familiar with every work of JOJO, did not hesitate to catch the empress doppelganger who hadn't realized what happened.

When he raised his hand, he was a condescending Vega with a small sun burning.

After using the skill point given by the task of defeating Huajingyuan to point out the Q skill Qurenwei, after several attempts, Zheng Qi noticed that the skill Qurenwei was materialized on him by the magic code, and it really matched There are quite a few differences in the game.

【The prestige of bending others】

Active effect: The contractor condenses the [proudness] ignited by the fighting spirit in his body in his hands, and relies on this primitive wild fighting desire to instantly activate the hidden potential in the body, making the contractor act when attacking It became more swift and powerful, and in the next two punches that the contractor swung, additional physical destructive power full of [proudness] was added.

This is the textual explanation given by the Grimoire about subduing others.
