stand-in creed

Version update v1.01 is now live!

- Fixed an issue where Arresi knew the stand-in ability of "Judgment" in Chapter 47.

-

The tanker slowly lifts into the air.

Nero stood on the roof of the tanker, overlooking the deck below.

"This freighter is your 'shell', Dio.You are like a "clam" on the banks of the Nile, and you retract your head into a hard shell like a "clam" that is a natural enemy.

"But you forget one thing, humans are very good at using tools. Instead of risking injury and breaking the shell with our fingers, we have many other methods, such as using a knife to pry along the gap of the shell Open, and for example——

"—charcoal roasting.

"However, considering that the "meat quality" of vampires is different from that of clams, it doesn't matter if it is fried in oil, right? "

The hand of the ladder of heaven reached out to the fuel tank valve.

And Nero's eyes were fixed on the unknown of the "hatch door". He was ready, so he poured tons of oil into the hatch, poured it into the cabin, and prepared to ignite a raging flame. .

Joseph under the boat also understood, with an excited expression on his face.

"Nero, this is "burning a rabbit hole"!

"Smart hunters and seasoned farmers, if they find a rabbit hole in the wild, prepare a trap outside the hole, and then use the "smoke" method to force the rabbit in the hole to come out and plunge into the prepared trap! "

Kakyoin also nodded and raised a finger.

"More than 80.00% of the people who died in the fire did not die from violent burning, but died in "suffocation" bit by bit.Burning gasoline will not only consume a lot of oxygen in the cabin, but also produce a lot of toxic substances such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides!

"Even if Dior's vampire physique can make him immune to these poisonous gases, his subordinates will not be spared either!

"And if Dio transforms all his subordinates into vampires in the burning freighter, he will not only lose a lot of blood and vampire essence before he has completely assimilated with the body of "Jonathan Joestar", which will make the already serious wound recover. of him weakened further!

"Even so, even if they were immune to poison gas, they would still be buried in the fierce "sea of ​​fire"! "

Polnareff clenched his fists: "As expected of Nero, he easily did what we couldn't do!"

However, Polnareff just finished speaking.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came to mind from the ship's loudspeaker.

"dad--!!!"

"Mother?!"

"Hally?!"

Jotaro and Joseph's pupils shrank.

Immediately, Jotaro yelled to Nero in the sky.

"Stop it, Nero!"

"..."

Nero frowned, stopped the action of dumping fuel, and floated back to Jotaro and others with the tanker.

……

Time went back a little, to the time when Nero and his party had just arrived in Cairo.

Dior in the basement of the western mansion sat there quietly, holding some documents and photos in his hands, reviewing them without saying a word.Beside Dio, the six subordinates including the orangutan stood there without daring to breathe, waiting for Dio's instructions.

"Cameo."

"Master Dior!"

"Your stand-in "judgment" can project other people's wishes on the soil, creating "bubble-like wishes", thus giving people the illusion of "resurrecting old people" or "making a fortune".

"Compared with "Stairway to Heaven" and "Platinum Star", your "Judgment" has almost no aggressiveness at all, but it has room for "Strategy". "

"What do you need me to do, Lord Dio."

Cameo didn't even dare to look Dio in the eyes.

Dio continued to speak in an unhurried manner.

"With their vigilance, especially Nero Zeppelin, who is thoughtful and has no hesitation when it's time to strike, even if he sees the freighter "Power", he will never board the ship easily, right?Not only will he not board the ship, but he will do everything possible to force us to leave the Power.

"Like setting fire to a boat.

"Since they don't want to board the ship, let's let them "have to" board the ship—let's revive these three, Cameo. "

Speaking of it.

Dior handed over three written materials and several old and new photos to Cameo.

When Cameo carefully browsed the information and photos, the corners of Dio's mouth gradually raised.

The first photo is of a beautiful woman with jet-black hair like a waterfall.

"Shirley Polnareff.

"This is the motivation for J.P. Polnareff to join Dior at the beginning and plant a granulation to fight for me. It is also the motivation to continue to follow Joestar and his team to Dior after Israel defeated the "Hanged Man". The drive to seek revenge.

"The Frenchman is very impulsive and this bait is enough to get him on board."

The second photo is of a blond woman with slight signs of aging.

"Kujo Heri Joestar.

"After entering Cairo, Joestar and his party will never be able to reach a direct connection with the SPW consortium unless they defeat me, Dio. And mother, how will you react when you suddenly appear on Dior's boat?

"You must be angry.

"I will definitely think about whether I, Dio, took the opportunity and sent my subordinates to kidnap that woman.

"Even this meticulous grandparent and grandson will definitely guess whether this is a fake made by me, Dior, using some small tricks or the substitute ability of my subordinates. They have such intelligence! But the question is, do they dare to bet?

"They started the journey for their daughter and mother, so they never dared to gamble.

"Joseph Joestar, the grandson of JOJO, knows something about the grievances of a hundred years ago, and may not act rashly. But Jotaro Kujo, who also has the ability of "time pause", will definitely board the ship!

"Next, a third person is needed."

The third photo is an old photo with yellowing.

The photo shows a man with sun-blond hair and a headband, making affectionate gestures with a shy teenage girl with a hippie smile on her face.

Dio smiled even more happily.

"Cesar Andrio Zeppelin.

"In the information, Joseph Joestar's former best friend and grandfather of Nero Zeppelin.

"Although I would rather go to Italy to resurrect the Ripple Messenger than the dummy you made, just like the one I resurrected a hundred years ago, the two brave men who were loyal to Mary Stuart who was beheaded by Elizabeth I in the sixteenth century Like the knight, revive this ripple messenger and use it for me.

"But it's a pity that not only is there not enough time, but I, Dior, have a reason of "I can't leave Cairo"——

"—The time of the new moon is coming soon."

When is the new moon?

Cameo had no idea what Dio was talking about, but he didn't dare to ask.

Dio didn't seem to intend to say anything to Cameo, but just changed the subject.

"But if it is JoJo's grandson Joseph, he will definitely be suspicious after knowing the past a hundred years ago from the country girl Alina and the poor boy in the slums of Spitwagen--I will Sisa Zibei Lin was dug out of the grave and resurrected as a vampire, right?

"Daughter plus best friend, Joseph, who is extremely poor and weak but has excellent brain power, will definitely be on board.

"Not only that, Nero Zeppelin must have been shaken when he heard that his grandfather, whom he had never met, reappeared in this way? From his words, he must be able to see that this is my Dio's trick, but as a companion After boarding this freighter one after another, he also had to step into this freighter.

"This "Power" will become their grave.

"It's not tactics, it's strategy!

"Fulfill my strategy, Cameo."

Dio smiled and looked at the subordinate in front of him.

Cameo, who was kneeling in front of Dio, straightened his chest and posed in an extremely exaggerated posture.A strong humanoid double emerges from his body.

This is "judgment".

Symbolizes the charge, the joy of resurrection, and the miracle of love.

"Hail 2 U——!!!"

Chapter 50

"dad--!!!"

The woman's panicked voice echoed in the ears of the group of six along the freighter's horn.

"Mother?!"

"Hally?!"

Both Joseph and Jotaro were stunned.

Without hesitation, both grandparents and grandchildren raised their heads to look at Nero who was about to burn the boat in the low sky.

"Stop it, Nero!"

"Ni-Lu--!!!"

Both grandparents and grandchildren shouted together.

In this short period of contact, it was the first time Nero saw such a tense mood between the grandfather and grandson.However, combining the past events described by Joseph and the "Dad", it is not difficult for Nero to deduce the identity of this woman.

Kujo Holly Joestar.

The question is, isn't this woman in the headquarters of the SPW consortium?Could it be that he was kidnapped?

After all, Dior is a pure villain, a vampire who treats people like bread, kidnapping women is in the eyes of Nero and others, and Dior can do it for granted.

Nero frowned and flew back to the ground with the tanker.

Polnareff asked in surprise, "Hey, Mr. Joestar! Jotaro! Could that voice be..."

It was not the grandparents and grandchildren who answered Polnareff, but Kakyoin beside him.

"That's right, Polnareff, that voice is undoubtedly that of Ms. Holly."

Kakyoin looked serious.

Kakyoin joined the regiment in Japan.

Kakyoin, who was almost beaten to death by Jotaro's Platinum Star, has been taken care of by Ms. He Li, and she knows that she is a warm and kind woman like the sun.Even if they were not related, Kakyoin couldn't help clenching her fists when she heard Ms. He Li's voice.

"Dior!"

Nero frowned.

Although he didn't have any communication with Ms. Holly, Nero's mirror-like sense of justice in the face of "kidnapping a woman" made him feel ashamed from the bottom of his heart.

"What do you want to say, Nero Zeppelin?"

Dio's voice came from the speakers.

Nero said in a deep voice: "Although you are a villain through and through. But when I saw you from the crystal ball in Rome, you told me the location of "Cairo" frankly. At that time, I thought you Although he is a villain, there is more or less the "pattern" of a villain in it.

"You are a "big" villain, you have your own kanban, and you are eager to become a dragon among the villains one day.I used to think so.

"But Dio, you're mean right now!

"Now in my eyes, you are no longer the villain among villains trying to get to the top with your own "style". . "

"……mean?"

Dior's laughter came from the speakers.

Dio was laughing softly at first, and then the laughter became louder and unscrupulous.

"Hmph, hehehehe, hahahahahahahaha!

"Stylish? Kanban? Mean? It doesn't matter what that is!

"Different from you guys who only use short-lived human thinking to think about problems, I, Dio, only have a very simple idea-victory, and then dominate! What process, what method, it doesn't matter!

"What's more, do you think it's over with just one Heli Joestar! Stupid humans! Listen to whose voices are these next!"

Dio's voice stopped abruptly.
