stand-in creed

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"It's not far from Josuke Higashika's home in Jozenji Temple, in an abandoned residential building just a few minutes' walk away! That's the home of the Nijimura Brothers!!!"

Nero nodded in satisfaction.

Is this what it feels like to be a detective?Very good.

Chapter 17

Near Dingzenji Avenue Station.

Nero, who got information about Hongcun Village from Jiantian Minhe, drove all the way to a single-family house that seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.However, when Nero turned the intersection, he heard a somewhat familiar voice.

"Kang--one--!!!"

It was Higashika Josuke's voice.

Why is Jousuke in such a place?

Before Nero could figure it out, the black limousine drifted across the intersection and arrived at the destination.

What caught Nero's eyes was Dongfang Josuke who was screaming in shock outside the door, inside the door he also had the same style of cow dung head of Jousuke, a boy in school uniform who looked a bit rough, and fell in the middle of the door with a bruise on his neck. The "arrow" pierced through, and Koichi Hirose lay on the ground rolling his eyes, bleeding profusely.

Looking up, Nero saw a young man with a bow at the window.Although he couldn't see the other person's face clearly due to the light, he could still vaguely see that strand of blond hair.

——This guy is Hongcun Xingzhao, right?And the other cow dung head below is Toshi Mata and the younger brother Yitai mentioned by Xingzhao.Nero thought so.

at the same time.

Dongfang Josuke seemed to want to step forward to rescue his friend Koichi Hirose, but was stopped by Nijimura Otoyasu.And a humanoid double in blue and white color scheme appeared behind Hongcun Yitai.

"Higashi Jousuke!

"You will be dealt with by my "Bombing Space" by Nijimura Itai! "

Nijimura Yiyasu said to Dongfang Josuke very seriously.

He was so serious that he didn't even see Nero, who was close at hand, swaggered out of the car and came to the side.

On the contrary, Dongfang Jousuke was stunned for a moment.

"Nero! Why do you..."

"In this situation, do you really have extra time to ask such questions, Higashika Josuke?"

Nero directly interrupted Jousuke's words.

Nero paused and then said: "It's as if you don't know why I'm here, and I don't know why you and this person named Koichi Hirose are here. But is it time to think about this kind of problem? ?

"Your purpose now is to "rescue" Hirose Yasuke.

"In this case, you only need to keep one simple idea in your mind——

"—defeat the enemy.

"Anything else is an impurity and will only reduce the purity of your diamond."

Nero spoke to Jousuke Higashika in such a self-contained manner when Nijimura Okuyasu was a little dazed and confused about the situation.

The Hongcun Xingzhao upstairs screamed suddenly.

"Hurry up and dodge, Yitai, the enemy's attack has already circled behind you——!"

"what……"

puff!

Thanks to the reminder from the elder brother upstairs, Hongcun Yitai narrowly escaped to the side.However, even so, a light red line was cut on the neck by the whistling corrugated knife, and bright red blood oozes out.

Tick.

Tick.

The blood stained the skirt of his clothes red, and fell to the ground tick-tock.

As long as Hongcun Xingzhao's reminder is slower, or Hongcun Yitai's movements are slower, this young man who doesn't seem to be very smart has already become a corpse.

"Okay, it's dangerous!

"I got my life back..."

Hongcun Yitai, who was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, muttered.

And when Hongcun Yitai just turned his head, he looked at the scene in front of him in shock.

I saw Koichi Hirose, together with the arrow on his neck, fell into the hands of a blond foreigner whom he didn't know at some point in time, and was transferred into the arms of Jousuke Higashika.

when?

Difficult, could it be that I was avoiding the attack?

Hongcun Yitai tried hard to understand.

Nero in front of him didn't even look at Hongcun Yitai, but just said to Kang Yi who still had a little consciousness.

"Boy, is your name Kang Yi?

"It might hurt a little when I pull out the arrow, so be prepared, I'll count to three—three!"

There is no two and one at all.

This stone arrow, which seemed to have a history of hundreds of years, was violently pulled out from Kang Yi's neck by Nero with flesh and blood, and Dongfang Jousuke at the side didn't dare to have the slightest hesitation to directly activate the substitute ability.

"—Crazy Diamond!!!"

boom!

A punch landed on Hirose Koichi's body, and Hirose Koichi's injury healed instantly.

Seeing this, Hongcun Yitai finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Too, so despicable!

"You actually sneaked up on me from behind while I was talking, and rescued Koichi Hirose while I was dodging! How can you be so cunning, a foreigner!"

"...?"

mean?

cunning?

Hearing such an accusation, Nero froze.

Nero really wanted to imitate Sherlock Holmes and say something like "This is just a basic operation, my friend", but the problem is——

It's not even a foundation at all.

Nero, who was a little speechless to the seemingly incomprehensible Nijimura Otoyasu in front of him, turned his head and spoke to Josuke.

"Jousuke, this Nejimura Okuyasu is entrusted to you, I will go to his brother to "investigate" something. "

"Ah, um..."

To be honest, even Jousuke was a little confused about the situation.

But there is one thing Josuke can tell, that is, the Nijimura Itaisu in front of him is an enemy that must be defeated.

next moment.

Nero stepped forward and walked towards the door.

Hongcun Yitai was about to intercept Nero, but Hongcun Xingzhao upstairs spoke.

"Okuyasu, you just need to get rid of Higashika Josuke.

"This blond foreigner is named Nero Zeppelin. He single-handedly defeated Dior 11 years ago, and later defeated Dior with Joestar and his party. Even if your "bombing space" is even I think It's a creepy stand-in, but you who can't perfectly control the bombing space are by no means Nero's opponent.

"Get out of the way, I will deal with him personally."

"Ah, yes, brother!"

Hongcun Yitai immediately nodded.

But Nero, who was about to fly straight upstairs, raised his eyebrows.

"...It seems that you are very confident, Hongcun Xingzhao?"

"Nero Zeppelin, your substitute ability is to cancel the gravity of objects and manipulate them freely. I have known this for a long time-your substitute is not the substitute ability I am looking for, so since you choose to get in the way here If so, then I must exclude you."

"Um……"

Nero twisted his neck from side to side, and the next moment he walked towards the main entrance of the dilapidated house in a fair manner.

Dongfang Jousuke in the rear shouted, "Why don't you just fly up?!"

Nero turned his head.

"Because I'm a detective, Jousuke.

"It's easy to kill this guy, but I have to get the "information" I want before I kill him.At least from the mouth, this guy is a guy with very hard bones, and it is difficult to pry his mouth open by ordinary means.

"It is necessary to completely break his hard bones to pry his mouth open, and for this reason, we must fight with this belief——

"—Let Hongcun Xingzhao never dare to have the idea of ​​being an enemy of me, Nero Zeppelin, within a hundred years!"

The voice fell.

Nero's figure was hidden in the wind.

Only Dongfang Jousuke was a little puzzled——

When did you become a detective?

Chapter 18

It's easy to kill me?

Can't come up with the idea of ​​being an enemy of him within a hundred years?

What are you kidding...

Although Hongcun Xingzhao wanted to say that this was a joke, but when he thought of the results of his investigations in the past few years, a few drops of sweat flowed down his cheeks from his temples and onto the ground.

After all, even he couldn't count how many stand-in messengers had died at the hands of Nero Zeppelin so far.

The reason why Yitai let Nero in without shame is just because it is unrealistic to make Yitai two-on-one no matter what.Otherwise, the next plot will be Jousuke and Nero defeating his younger brother Yiyasu two-on-one, and then rushing in together to solve themselves.

Although there are also sayings that he goes out to meet the enemy two-on-two, but his stand-in "Evil Squadron" is a stand-in that looks like a miniature army.

Contains about eighty Marines, eight tanks, and four Apache gunships.

Only in places with intricate terrain such as "indoors" can there be the greatest room for development.

Splitting into two groups and one-on-one is the method with the highest winning rate, and only in this way can we see opportunities.

But where is the opportunity, Hongcun Xingzhao has not seen it yet.

"Since it's a flying ability, it's only natural that it will attack directly from the window on the third floor, right?

"After all, I am on the third floor right now, and I can get as close to my body as possible by attacking directly from the third floor. Then I should also let my "Extreme Evil Squadron" deploy defenses on the third floor... What? ! "

Boom!

Nero kicked open the unlocked main door on the first floor, and entered the hallway on the first floor openly.

Hongcun Xingzhao's pupils shrank.

At this moment, Hongcun Xingzhao finally understood what Nero meant.

"Do you want to defeat my substitute in a fair and honest manner, and then come to my main body as a winner, instead of directly defeating my main body by tricks?!

"Although I really want to say that this guy is very confident, to the point of arrogance and even conceit, and will eventually lose because of his conceit... But now that Nero Zeppelin rushed into the entrance on the first floor, the one who has the upper hand is instead It's him!

"Preventing him from breaking through from the third floor, almost all members of my "Evil Squadron" are on defense in the room on the third floor, leaving only one or two Green Bailey infantry downstairs as eyeliners!The first and second floors are currently defenseless! "

It was a short move at the beginning.

This made Hongcun Xingzhao frown even tighter.

"In this case, set up the defense line to the second floor before he went upstairs."

"Evil Squadron - attack!!!"

infantry.
