stand-in creed

"It's your fault, Holmaggio, you didn't notice the hair caught in the fuel tank door when you started! Your plan has failed! I'd like to accept the bet, and bring me 100 million lire!"

These two were members of the assassination squad.

Holmaggio, the stand-in messenger with "little feet".

Illuso, the stand-in messenger who holds "The Man in the Mirror".

"whispering sound."

Holmaggio spit on the ground, cursingly took out 100 million lire from his wallet and gave it to Illuso, saying plausibly: "As long as they get in the car, I can use the smaller one thrown into the fuel tank." The car gave them a big surprise!"

Iluso snorted: "What's the use of saying this now? It's time for me."

Hormaggio asked, "What are you going to do?"

Illuso opened the door and got in the car: "Nero Zeppelin is the stand-in messenger of "The World's Strongest".When I first got this kind of information, I just took it as a joke, but now it's different!First the two pro-guards in Turin, then Meloni and Gaccio in Milan... This guy has proven that he is worthy of this title.

"In that case—

"Just let him lose his substitute.

"Even if it is the "world's strongest" substitute messenger, as long as he loses his substitute, he is just a mortal, and we can deal with him as we like!After he is dealt with, Apache and Trish, who have no ability to fight back, and the Japanese girl next to him are no longer our opponents! "

After speaking, Iruso got into the driver's seat.

With a kick of the accelerator, the sports car went straight to the front of Nero and his party.

At the same time, Apache on the co-pilot was thinking about whether Bugarati and the others had eaten well, and happily opened the pizza box, preparing to enjoy his own dinner—Parma ham pizza.

However, just as Apache picked up a piece and was about to put it into his mouth, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a scene of astonishment in the rearview mirror.

It was a humanoid existence with glasses and a rather rock-and-roll appearance.

"—a stand-in?!

"The enemy double is in our "car", boss! "

Nero in the driver's seat saw the double half a second earlier than Apache, not only noticed the existence of the double, but also subconsciously looked back.However, only Suzumi Suzumi, who was calm in the back seat, and Trish Una, who was a little flustered, came into view.

There are no enemies in the car at all.

But just when Iruso was about to make a move, Nero suddenly spoke.

"So that's it, you are also this type of substitute."

"Huh?" Apache was taken aback.

"What?" Iluso was also taken aback.

The next moment Iluso saw Nero staring at himself in the rearview mirror again, and said seriously.

"Apaki, this double is not in the car, it's in the 'mirror'. "

"In the mirror?" Apache blinked.

"!"

Iluso in the mirror world was dumbfounded.

Iluso muttered to himself: "This guy... just saw the ability of my "man in the mirror" at a glance?All the enemies I have encountered so far, when I cannot find my "man in the mirror" from behind, no matter how powerful the brain is, they will fall into confusion and confusion in a short time, but this guy can see through it with just "one look" Has the ability of "Man in the Mirror"?

"Not only did you see through my ability, but even after that, you still remain as immovable as a mountain like King Ming?

"Look at these confident eyes! Nero Zeppelin not only saw through my ability, but also has a solution to my "man in the mirror", Holmaggio! "

Chapter 61 Little Feet and the Man in the Mirror Part [-]

At this moment, the two who used Iluso's ability to enter the "mirror world" after chasing them were sitting in the car of the four of Nero, advancing together with the vehicles in the main world.

Illuso panicked.

Holmaggio looked serious.

"No, Illuso! Calm down. This guy just said something like this - you are "also" this type of stand-in!Nero Zeppelin used it. His brain power is not as terrible as you imagined. He just saw the same type of stand-in messenger as you. "

"Isn't that even worse, Hormaggio." Iluso said seriously.

"If you just see through my ability, it means that he has only fantasy, which is what the Chinese call "talking on paper".But seeing him is different, it shows that he has solid "combat experience" to refer to, and the situation is even more unfavorable..."

But just got here.

Just as they were constantly imagining what kind of means Nero Zeppelin might use to decipher Illuso's "Mirror Man", Nero stretched out three fingers.

"To seal this double, it only takes "four steps". "

pat.

In the first step, the interior dome light is turned on.

Click!

In the second step, Nero reached out and folded the left rearview mirror.

Click!

In the third step, the rearview mirror where the enemy double exists was also severely broken by Nero.

Then comes the final fourth step.

The two rear-view mirrors face each other and stare at each other, leaving a slight gap between them, and then the scarf like a living snake directly entangles the two rear-view mirrors to ensure that the two rear-view mirrors While the viewing mirror retains the "light", no matter how you adjust the angle, you can't find the existence of the third mirror, such as the front windshield.

"?"

Illuso tilted his head.

After all this, Nero let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's done, Apache. It would have been easier if it wasn't for the city center and the glass everywhere."

"Is this done?" Apache was taken aback.

"That's right, it's done! Although my movements can't be called fast, the enemy is probably a little confused because they haven't seen an experienced guy like me, so even if my series of movements took nearly "two seconds" long The time is up, and none of the enemies can escape in the first place.

"In short - the enemy's double has been sealed by me!

"It's like putting two TV sets together to seal Miss Sadako, and it will only make Miss Sadako crawl from one TV into the other, sealing him!"

Nero said seriously.

Iruso listened blankly to Nero's explanation, completely unaware of what Nero was talking about, and looked at Holmaggio for help, but Holmaggio just shook his head blankly.

Apache looked at his boss in shock: "What kind of substitute is this?"

"More than ten years ago, my good friends Polnareff and Noriaki Kakyoin encountered a substitute messenger who had hints of "The Hanged Man". At first glance, it seemed that he was a substitute living in the "mirror world" -"

Hearing this, Iluso nodded repeatedly.

Immediately afterwards, Iruso saw Nero speak seriously.

"—But, the world in the mirror does not exist!"

"?"

Illuso blinked.

Nero recalled Polnareff's explanation to himself.

"There is no world in the mirror, although there are incredible things like doubles in this world, but ah——everything we see in the mirror is just the phenomenon of "reflection of light"!Even junior high school students know this kind of thing! "

"Then the double we saw was just attached to the mirror?!" Apache realized.

"That's right, the real body of this double is—light!"

Nero said righteously.

Holmaggio also had an epiphany, and patted his teammate on the shoulder.

"So you are the light, Illuso!"

"...you are the light."

Illuso's mouth twitched.

Not angry, but amused by Nero.

Immediately afterwards, Iluso looked at Nero through all the glass-like things in the car, such as the intact right rearview mirror, the front and rear windshields, the windows, and even the "smooth interior" inside the vehicle, etc. every move.

Nero laughed out loud.

"Uh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

"This battle is our victory!"

With Nero's wanton laughter, Nero's figure disappeared little by little.

A second ago, he was immersed in the joy of the enemy's substitute being sealed, and then he only needed to find the enemy's body. Apache was about to continue eating, and the pizza in his hand froze in mid-air again.

"boss--!!!"

Squeak!

The vehicle without the driver shook for a while, and Apache immediately put down the pizza and took control of the steering wheel.

At the same time, Nero, who was caught off guard, disappeared from head to toe in the main material world and appeared in the mirror world of Illuso.Also at the moment when he appeared, Holmaggio's stand-in "Little Foot" made a bold move and punched Nero fiercely.

"—Little feet!!!"

However, at the moment he swung his fist, Holmaggio's pupils shrank.

Hormaggio saw Nero's eyes.

It was not a look of surprise or panic, but a very calm look.

"Hey, Iluso, this guy's eyes are very strange!

"The look in this guy's eyes is as if he knew it would be like this a long time ago!"

next moment.

The fist of the little foot was actually frozen in mid-air, and the wrist that was punching at Nero was firmly held in the palm of Nero.

"what--?!"

Hormagio was terrified.

Nero looked calmly at the two people in the back seat.

"You seem surprised?

"Why should you be surprised? Surprised that I can hold your double's wrist?

"It should be common sense that things like doubles will turn into entities when they attack, right?

"Skillful close-range power-type stand-in messengers can guarantee that while punching, other parts of the "contact surface" still maintain a ghost state that ordinary people cannot touch, but you can't do this. I'm afraid you have been You can't use this kind of technique in battle, you can only materialize your whole body like the "notorious BIG".

"But looking at your expressions, it seems that you are not surprised by this matter, but why do I seem to have an expression of "already known" on my face? "

Nero held the wrist of "Little Foot" with his left hand, and pointed his index finger at Illuso with his right hand.

Immediately Nero continued.

"When I spent a long time of "two seconds" to seal this double, but your double still did not dodge, I understood that you and "The Hanged Man" are not the same type of double.That doesn't seal you, which means—

"The world in the mirror is real."

Chapter 62 Little Feet and the Man in the Mirror Part [-]

Nero is pretending.

At the beginning, Nero really thought that the enemy he encountered at this moment was the same type of stand-in messenger as "The Hanged Man", but the enemy in front of him did not leave for a full "two seconds", and the moment Nero imposed the seal , Nero knew that he wanted to go wrong.

The mirror world is very likely to exist.

After that, the arrogant declaration of victory is naturally Nero's acting skills-acting skills that make the enemy relax their vigilance.

Being dragged into this upside-down world now is only for Nero to confirm this guess, and write down a small notebook in his heart, and he must have a good chat with Polnareff and Kakyoin later.

Therefore, what Illussola came in at this moment was not a dazed Nero at all, but a Nero who was ready to fight.Even when Nero grabbed the wrist of "Little Feet" and talked nonsense, he was still calculating in his mind.

"The Stairway to Heaven is isolated in the main material world, and there are two enemies in front of me.

"This guy with two slashes on the board attacked me the first time I was dragged into the "mirror world".For the sake of stability, I didn't touch the opponent's fist. After all, it might trigger strange abilities, and most of the abilities are activated by the stand-in's fist!

"Will he be the master of this "mirror world"?
