hero?it must be me

[NO. 】

The magic code ruthlessly shattered Zheng Qi's fantasy.

[According to what you said, this is just a superficial appearance. Considering the amount of essence we have, it is not easy for me to make such a body. 】

You mean, if there are enough essences of thoughts, you can indeed imitate Yuumi's ability in the future?

[YES. 】

It's good news.

After all, no one wants to hang a cat on your body to score experience points. At the same time, this cat can't even put a healer or speed up. It only knows how to crawl on you to be a canyon pianist.

Now then...

Zheng Qi turned his head and looked at Er Qiao.

"I named her Magic Cat, which I think is a vivid name."

"what……"

Er Qiao pulled the brim of his hat, glanced at the two police officers who were still completely out of condition, and nodded: "It seems that they are indeed substitutes."

"However, I didn't expect your substitute to be in this form."

Er Qiao looked Zheng Qi up and down.

"Using the language of your hometown, this is not to be judged by appearance."

"Don't look at me like this, Mr. Joestar."

Zheng Qi took his hand covering his face, looked at Er Qiao seriously and said, "I really hate violence."

"It's not convincing for a guy who is about to beat someone's grandson when we meet for the first time."

Er Qiao curled her lips, and stretched out her right hand towards Zheng Qi through the cell door.

"Then, let's get to know each other officially. I'm Joseph Joestar."

"I'm Zheng Qi, Mr. Joestar can just call me Zheng Qi."

It seems to be mixed up.

Zheng Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold Er Qiao's right hand.

"Wow?!"

At this moment, from Er Qiao's palm, a fierce current of heat suddenly crashed into Zheng Qi's body!

[Warning, alien energy invasion found. 】

Accompanied by the cold warning sound in his mind, the magic tome on Zheng Qi's shoulder suddenly showed Er Qiao a frowning posture, showing his teeth and bowing his back, exactly like a cat when it is ready to fight.

Wait for the Grimoire!

After the first moment of panic, Zheng Qi felt the heat rushing through his arms like an electric current to his whole body, and suppressed the instinctive impulse to fight back.

At this distance, if Zheng Qi really wants Er Qiao's life, the only person in the audience who can react in time is Jotaro who has a platinum star.

Zheng Qi didn't know that Er Qiaoqing didn't know this, but he really didn't mean to hurt Er Qiao at the moment.

Because he has already realized what the real body of this heat is.

This is Ripple.

It is an important power that almost runs through the entire story in the first Phantom Blood and the second battle trend before the appearance of the special power of the stand-in.

Although the ripples produced by the ripple breathing method do not directly possess all kinds of incredible special abilities like the stand-in, they can bring many benefits to the practitioner's body, such as bursting out of extraordinary power in an instant, or being Help practitioners resist aging.

The more important point is that the ripples have properties similar to the sun's light-this is fatal to vampires.

Zheng Qi already understood the intention of Er Qiao's move.

He didn't fully trust Zheng Qi, so he used the act of shaking hands to send a lot of ripples to Zheng Qi's body in an instant.

If Zheng Qi was a ghoul or vampire who had been transformed by Dior, he would have been burned to the ground at the moment Er Qiao injected such a large amount of ripples.

Or, Zheng Qi is a person who was implanted with sarcoma by Dior and brainwashed. Then when the ripples travel all over Zheng Qi's body, the body tissue belonging to Dior will be burned instantly.

And if Zheng Qi really has nothing to do with ghosts such as ghouls and vampires, then the ripples pouring into Zheng Qi's body will not only cause no harm to Zheng Qi, but will even help Zheng Qi strengthen his vitality and play a role The effect of strengthening the body.

For Er Qiao, who already knew that Dior could control other people's thoughts through that disgusting piece of meat, this simple and crude method can indeed have the best effect at this time.

Of course, there is another possibility besides this.

That is, Zheng Qi chooses to follow Dior with his own will——

"It seems that there is really no problem."

Staring at Zheng Qi, Er Qiao slowly let go of her hand and took it back.

In this regard, Zheng Qi did not stop him.

In other words, he couldn't stop him now.

A large number of ripples pouring into the body, although it will not be destructive, and even has many benefits, but people also have such a thing as the so-called deficiency that cannot be replenished.

Zheng Qi's body would not be in a state of weakness, but for a short time, his body did freeze in place because of the surging ripples.

In a sense, this is also Er Qiao's backhand.

Being so close, it was impossible for him to be completely unprepared.

but……

"I'm sorry, Zheng Qi, this is a necessary inspection. Since you have the ability to predict dreams, you must understand—huh?!"

Er Qiao's eyes suddenly widened.

On his face, because of the scene in front of him, he couldn't help showing a shocked expression!

"This, this is!"

I see……

This is, Ripple.

A golden "spark" suddenly shot out from Zheng Qi's body, with his head half down and maintaining the movement of reaching out.

That's it, Ripple!

"hiss--"

In the cell, suddenly there was a sound like an exhaust fan running.

But there is no such thing configured here.

So, what is this movement...

"call……"

After taking a big, deep breath, Zheng Qi slowly raised his palm to his face.

Make a great contribution, and be proud on the battlefield.

Looking at the golden lightning flashing irregularly on his palm, Zheng Qi murmured unconsciously.

"This is, Ripple."

Chapter 9 Chapter 8: The Purple of the Hermit Let us do something, Purple of the Hermit!

Just at the moment when I first came into contact with ripples, I learned how to generate ripples with my own body without any guidance. What kind of talent is this?

Joseph Joestar never thought about this kind of question.

With the ability to use ripples since he was a child, Joseph Joestar has never been troubled by the problem of "how to learn ripples".

However, Joseph Joestar knows that for a person who has never touched ripples, it is not easy to learn how to generate and use ripples.

Just now, when he used his ripples to invade Zheng Qi's body, he was sure that there was not a trace of ripples in Zheng Qi's body.

However, such a Zheng Qi managed to learn the method of producing ripples by himself when he first accepted the influence of ripples.

Even if the breathing method is very rough, no, to be more precise, it is like some kind of physical stress response, but this new ripple power undoubtedly belongs to Zheng Qi himself!

what an astonishing...

Unexpectedly, this trip actually yielded two surprises at the same time.

Er Qiao looked seriously at Zheng Qi who seemed to be still immersed in the ripple power.

As for Zheng Qi, he is indeed seriously feeling the impact of the ripples on his body, but more importantly, he is communicating with the magic tome in his mind.

Grimoire, since you can record the form of Ripple's power, isn't the double also...

[This is two different things, Contractor. 】

Grimoire replied.

[First of all, the power that you call ripples has entered your body in the form of direct intrusion. Only on the premise of judging that it is not harmful, can I intercept, record, and simulate it so easily.Secondly, your body has undergone the preliminary transformation of the hero inheritance, and the inherited hero power has a high degree of fit with the power of the ripple. Because of this, I was able to simulate the "ripple breathing method" suitable for you in such a short period of time . 】

[As for substitutes, different people's substitutes are based on different people's life energy bands and soul bands. Based on your current knowledge, the principle explanation is too deep for you to understand, so in simple terms, it is As time permits, I can indeed record different avatars, but not any avatar can be modified to suit you.Moreover, improvement also requires the essence of thoughts as energy support. 】

[In order to help you learn the ripples, we don't even have a single bit of thought essence left. 】

For some reason, there seemed to be a little bit of resentment in the voice of the magic book.

"cough."

With a slight cough in embarrassment, Zheng Qi put down his palm.

Don't worry, magic book, in our situation, we have to convert the economy into actual combat power to snowball. It's not necessarily possible to make a 6300 online and save it, waiting to go home and buy heroes, right?

After reassuring him, Zheng Qi raised his head and looked at Er Qiao.

"So, can you feel more at ease with me, Mr. Joestar?"

-

After that, after seeing Er Qiao's Hermit Purple and Abdel's Red Magician, Jotaro let go of his original stubbornness even though he still had that hard face, and chose to follow Er Qiao out of the cell.

Zheng Qi was released on bail by Er Qiao, and the issue of his identity was quickly resolved by the SPW Group, and he was also brought out together.

For most people in the police station, this is really sending away the two gods of plague.

Next, since we want to talk about things, we naturally need a place suitable for talking about things.

So the group found a coffee shop with few customers and sat down around a table.

"Great!"

Hugging Jotaro's strong arms, Mrs. Holly said with a happy face: "Jotaro finally came out of the cell!"

However, Jotaro who was being hugged still kept a straight face.

"It's annoying, you bitch."

As soon as this remark came out, both Jotaro who said it and Mrs. Holly who heard it all subconsciously looked at Zheng Qi.

Zheng Qi, who was sitting between Er Qiao and Abdel, blinked in a daze when he saw the two of them looking over, and then waved his hands.

"Now that I know this is the unique way of getting along with the two of you, I won't do it again. Don't look at me like this. I was often praised as a person who can read words and expressions."

"...I just have one question, Grandpa."

Jotaro looked at Er Qiao in a blink of an eye: "Why do you know about the evil spirit... no, it should be said about the substitute?"

"Um……"

Seeing that he was about to talk about serious business, Er Qiao also suppressed the idea of ​​preparing to preach to Jotaro.

"I'm about to tell you that this is the purpose of my coming from New York. However, to explain this point, I have to start from the beginning. After all, this is a matter related to our entire Joestar family."

Saying that, Er Qiao took out a stack of photos from the inner pocket of the windbreaker and put them on the table.

"Look at these photos first."

Jotaro frowned: "What kind of photo is this?"

In the photo, there is a coffin covered with shells and other living organisms placed on a fishing boat.

These photos are the result of the coffin being photographed from different angles.

The most conspicuous thing is that there is a striking decoration with the word [DIO] on the coffin.

"This is a coffin that was fished up in the Atlantic Ocean four years ago, 100 years ago."
