stand-in creed

Trish was a little nervous.

Nero smiled: "Why, do you think that while I was talking to him and inviting him to become a member of us, I killed him the moment he showed up, which meant a bit of "broken promise"? "

Trixie shook his head quickly: "No, no, I didn't mean that..."

"No, what you think is actually right, such a method is indeed a bit unsustainable." Nero affirmed what Trixie was muttering in his heart, and raised a finger, "I don't need it" I just invite the other party Talking about it but not really agreeing to the other party to join us" This kind of talk is prevaricating you, what I want to say is something else——

"—Welcome to the world of stand-in messengers.

"When the stand-in messengers fight with the stand-in messengers, in addition to the strange stand-in abilities, whether it's the passers-by or the stones under their feet, or the gas station not far away and the touching words, everything can become A deadly weapon! It is even more basic to use all means to cover up one's substitute ability and true intentions, and to use lies and tricks to induce the enemy to act according to one's expectations.

"Never demand aesthetics from combat, much less virtue from death.

"In the world of substitute messengers, the word "believe" is undoubtedly equivalent to "give your life to the other party", Trish!When Seke believed my words subconsciously, it meant that he handed over his life to my enemy! "

"..."

Trish showed a half-understanding expression.

Nero leaned against the tree next to him comfortably: "For example, Trish. Have you ever suspected that I treated you like a "gentleman" these two days, just because I can control you better by doing so? Let you follow me obediently, until your father shows up and then show your fangs and use you to threaten your father? "

"It was there at the beginning, but then slowly..."

"there is none left?"

"Ah."

Trixie nodded cautiously, and looked at Nero nervously.

Nero looked at the brilliant starry sky: "First of all, I am very glad that you trust old Zeppelin so much. If I were the protagonist of Japanese light novels, I would definitely say lines like "Trust me, Trish." , but I'm not that kind of person, I'm not someone who loses sleep because a 15-year-old girl doesn't trust herself, and I'm even going to tell you this-

"Don't trust me easily, Trish."

"This……"

Trish couldn't understand why Nero would say such a thing.

Nero suddenly turned his gaze towards the starry sky to Trish: "There are many prerequisites for believing in a person, and the most important one is to "understand", Trish.do you really understand meWhat's your favorite music?What happened in school?Have any ulterior hobbies?Has there been a major turning point in your life?

"It can be said that apart from a little understanding of my fighting style, you know nothing about everything else, and in this case, you can easily give "trust" to me, to someone you don't understand at all. is a very stupid thing to do.

"The substitute messenger and the substitute messenger will attract each other. In your future life, you will definitely meet one substitute messenger after another, so remember Se Ke's fate, keep his death in mind, and then--

"Welcome to the world of substitute messengers."

After saying these words, Nero patted the girl on the shoulder, and immediately walked forward on his own.

Apaki glanced at Nero's back, and immediately said to Trixie: "Although the boss said that he doesn't need your trust, in fact he does not lack your trust, but Trixie, Even if the boss says so, I think you can still trust him."

"...So Apache also believes in Nero?" Trish looked at Apache with some confusion, "Didn't Apache also know Nero for a long time?"

"Me?" Apache smiled, "Isn't there such a saying in the Godfather - the person who can see the essence in a second, and the person who can't see the essence of a thing for half a lifetime are naturally different." The same fate. I am the "former policeman" Trish, although I can't do it as fast as "one second", although I really don't know the boss's past, but I can vaguely see his essence of.

"That person, like Bucciarati, shone like gold.

"Following such a man, I can only feel at ease, never disturbed by his deceitful deceit to the enemy.

"Since the boss gave you advice not to give your life to others easily, then I will also give you a piece of advice—when in doubt, try to see the essence of the other party."

After saying this, Apache threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out with his feet, and followed Nero's footsteps.

Seeing the two big men walking farther and farther away, Trixie finally came back to his senses.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Trixie trotted after him.

That's how the crowd walked under the night in Reggio Calabria.

The destination is naturally the hospital where Trish's mother died.

But when everyone arrived at the hospital under the guidance of Trixie, Trixie suddenly called out.

"wait wait wait!"

"Ok?"

Nero and Apache stopped and turned to look at Trish.

But Trish asked nervously: "Are you... are you going to "replay" my mother next?With melancholic blues, it's like replaying Prosciutto. "

Apache nodded: "That's right."

"..."

Trixie's face was a little tangled, and he took a deep breath as if he was making some important decision.

Immediately, Trixie exhausted all his strength before he could say a single word.

"Sardinia."

The moment Trixie said this word, he felt much more relaxed.

Nero was taken aback: "Sardinia?"

Trish explained with a complicated expression: "The "Emerald Coast" of Sardinia is the place where my mother and father knew each other.My mother once told my father that he was from Sardinia and spoke with that accent, and that was "16 years ago", so...you don't have to replay my mother. "

"Why is such an important matter until now..." Apache just opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Nero raising his hand, "Boss?"

"I can understand you, Trish." A smile appeared on Nero's face.

"In the beginning, you told us the clues of Calabria, just because we kidnapped you. Knowing the ability of Melancholy Blues, you don't want to annoy us, you don't want to be replayed, and you don't want to betray who you may love yourself Your father. After all, Ticano and Skiaro who were in charge of protecting you at that time, as well as the cadre Bellicro, were "reliable" people no matter how you looked at it, and they were completely different from Chocolat and Seiko.

"Because of this, you at that time only told us the information "two months ago", and it would take Melancholy Blues a lot of time and experience to replay it, and no one knows when it will be replayed.But things have changed now, haven't they? "

"……Um."

Trish nodded slightly.

Accompanied by her telling the clue of "Sardinia's Emerald Coast", and expressing her inner thoughts, Trixie felt that her depressed mood these two days finally improved a lot.

"At that time, I just wanted to delay time. After all, no matter what I said, I couldn't let you really replay my mother's 16 years of life... too many women's privacy was involved. As for what to do after that, I don't care I've been thinking about it, but I can't think of a suitable way at all.

"But now it seems that I don't need to procrastinate. Because I never thought that the subordinates sent by my father would really want to kill me!

"Although I don't understand what's going on at all, but because I don't understand, I want to ask him what happened. I want to ask him what I mean to him! Even if it's just one morning Seconds, I want to see him soon!

"What's more, he has already sent his subordinates to kill me, so it doesn't matter if I hand over his information to you!

"Nero, I believe in you. You have been protecting my safety along the way. I know this! Although I don't know whether I should continue to trust you because of your words, but At least, giving this information to you must be the "correct" choice!

"And this is my choice, Trish Una!

"The clues you want, the truth you are looking for, are on Sardinia!"

Trish Una said those words very seriously.

Nero nodded slightly.

"Then the target changes, let's go straight to Sardinia."

"Now?"

Apache was taken aback, didn't sleep anymore?

Nero was in high spirits: "That's right, now! It just so happens that we are going to have a round with Jotaro at noon tomorrow. Now we are in Reggio Calabria, south of Italy, heading northwest all the way to Sardinia, after investigating the information Then go all the way north to Milan, the route is just right.

"As for being sleepy...the reinforcements are coming tomorrow, you can sleep however you want in the car! Just the helpers I called—

"It doesn't work when Dior comes!"

Chapter 88 The Secret Emperor II

March 3 at 19:11 p.m.

Western Italy, Sardinia.

This is the second largest island in Italy. It is located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, an island with beautiful scenery, covered with plains and granite mountains. The total area is 2.4 square kilometers, which is about four times the size of Shanghai, but the total population is only a tenth of that of Shanghai. One, just over 160 million people.

At this moment, a few minutes had passed since the bodies of Chocolat and Seco were discovered and reported to Diablo.The location under Diablo's feet is his hometown, Sardinia.

Normally Diablo should have gone to bed at this point, but tonight he couldn't sleep at all, because his mailbox was full of bad news one after another.

"Pro-Guard, Pro-Guard, Assassin Squad, Assassin Squad, Assassin Squad...Pro-Guard.

"Leave aside the two gangsters in Rome and the traitor Polpo, in just a few days, whether it's the nine assassination squads including Risut, or the five personal guards belonging to me, The fourteen stand-in messengers were all dealt with by Nero Zebelin alone? !

"That's not the end! At first I thought that Nero Zeppelin was the only threat, but the team led by "Bruno Bucciarati" turned out to be more 'competent' than I thought!

"On March [-]th, all the gangsters in Campania were wiped out.

"On March [-]th, all the gangsters in the Abruzzo region were wiped out.

"On March [-], all the gangsters in Umbria were wiped out.

"On March [-]th, all the gangsters in the Marche region were wiped out.

"Although compared with the assassination team and the personal guards, those are just mediocre substitute messengers like "Sha Lei" and "Mario Ziquero", but after all, there are still a total of "eleven" substitute messengers!In the four days I've been focusing on Nero Zeppelin, they've killed so many of my men?

"Although it's no pity for the gangsters of that level to die, if there are too many deaths, the organization's control over the various regions will still be severely weakened. In order for the organization to regain its past glory, it must There must be enough substitute envoys as substitutes, but the problem is——

"The arrow is gone.

"Polpo has betrayed my trust and handed the arrow into the hands of the enemy Nero Zeppelin!"

Diablo's eyes became more and more fierce.

And his gaze gradually turned to a folder on the desktop, which contained dozens of photos.

Every photo is so shocking and appalling that even the cruelest R-rated movie director would probably vomit out the overnight meal after seeing the bloody scenes.And the victim photographed in these photos is the "Second Boss" of the organization who betrayed Diablo——

Polpo.

As for the executioner and the videographer, they are Chocolat and Seko respectively.

"Chocolat and Seco are also dead, who else can the organization mobilize now, who has the combat power to defeat "Nero Zeppelin"?

"Other bastards?

"If they had this kind of ability, they wouldn't be ordinary bastards in the organization. Letting them trouble that man is just hitting a stone with a pebble. There must be a stronger team... My men are still Which team has such ability? Poison 〇 team?"

Diablo had just risen to this year, and he was denied by himself.

No.

The only thing that can't be dispatched is this team, which is the key to dominating this planet and becoming the true "Secret Emperor". How can they let them face the dangerous Nero Zeppelin with their own lives?Instead of letting them go into battle, I might as well...

"Dulululululu-"

Diablo's cell phone rang.

Not Tobio's fancy phone, but a serious phone.

There are very few people in the entire organization who are qualified to contact Diablo directly. Even Bellicoro and Polpo will only temporarily grant such permission at special times. People who can really contact Diablo 24 hours a day ,only one person.

"boss."

"... Vladimir Kogaki. My venerable captain of the drug 〇 squad, what can you do with me at a time like this?"

What came to Diablo's ears was the voice of a seventy-year-old man who had experienced vicissitudes but was full of vigor.

The old man on the other end of the phone reported to Diablo calmly: "Although it's not a big deal, but in line with the principle of "There is nothing trivial about the drug squad", I still think it's better to report to you.You should be in the "Republic of San Marino" right now? "

"I know... wait, San Marino?"

Diablo froze for a moment, then instantly remembered a previous report and flipped through the records——

— March nineteenth.Bugarati Squad.Destroy all the gangsters in the Marche region.

And San Marino, a country surrounded by Italy, is located in the territory of the Marche region!

"Bruno Bucciarati...it seems to be the name. He killed a few gangsters in other regions, who were a little bit capable." The old man on the other end of the phone said calmly, "This team has a man named "Jolu." No Giovanna's kid seems to have discovered our whereabouts by accident, and started to officially engage one of our members 3 minutes ago.

"What about your order, boss?

"Should we deal with this team, or should we evacuate for the time being, and you will send another personal guard to deal with it?"

The SS is gone!

Diablo didn't make up his mind whether or not to speak out about this matter, so he didn't continue, but spoke after a moment of silence.

"I leave it to you, Vladimir.

"I believe in you. It is because I believe in your abilities, especially in you who have "Rainy Dream"!Your substitute has a substitute ability that even I find troublesome!That's why you were appointed as the captain and guard of the poison 〇 team. "

"Just troubled?"
