"My Stairway to Heaven tucked this ticket into your pants pocket during the round of fistfights before you fell overboard.

"The ticket that I touched on the ladder to heaven has become my "beacon".As long as you carry this ticket with you, no matter how you move under the dark sea, I can know your position exactly. "

"Heaven, Stairway to Heaven... Is this the name of your double?"

"Yes."

puff!

After the words fell, the Stairway to Heaven stepped on the captain's body, and suddenly pulled out the flagpole passing through his chest.

The captain's consciousness completely returned to nothingness, to the depths of the dark sea.

Dark blue moon, death.

Chapter 11 Osiris and the Emperor Part [-]

September 11, evening.

Egypt had a port on the southern shore of the Mediterranean Sea, named Alexandria.

It is 208 kilometers northwest of Cairo. It is the second largest city in Egypt and the largest port of this ancient civilization.

According to legend, in ancient times, after the death of Iskandar the Great, Ptolemy, the governor of Egypt, established the Ptolemy Dynasty here and was crowned Ptolemy I, and gradually became the largest city in ancient Greek culture. In history, its size and wealth are second only to Rome.

After nearly [-] hours of drifting at sea, Nero finally smuggled into this ancient land.

"...Egypt.

"Kusari, pita bread, mallow soup...what else? Bird tongue soup?"

Nero is a little hungry.

It's not that he really yearns for Egyptian food, it's just that he hasn't eaten for nearly twenty hours.

At an average speed of 1000 kilometers per hour, he crossed the waterway of about [-] to [-] kilometers in the Mediterranean Sea, and had a death fight with the damn dark blue moon in the middle. At this moment, Nero was already hungry and drowsy.

"...Although I really want to experience Egyptian food, Egypt is the base camp of that man named Dior after all, so it's better not to eat outside casually.

"Just buy some 'packaged' water and food from the supermarket.

"Alexandria is only over 200 kilometers away from Cairo, even if you don't drive, it only takes more than two hours to fly there with my "Stairway to Heaven".If you want to go, you can go anytime, so for now, let's focus on "rest" and "readiness". "

Thinking of this, Nero walked into the supermarket.

At the same time, two sneaky figures appeared in the alley opposite the supermarket.

The two men both had knotted muscles that couldn't be concealed by their clothes, and they both looked about 30 years old.

Among them, the blond man was dressed in denim, exuding the air of a raunchy slut from head to toe.As for the other black-haired man, he was a gambler, with a pink tie on his shirt and a small red vest. He looked much calmer than denim.

"That's Zeppelin? You're so young, are you an adult yet?" The cowboy lit a cigarette.

"15 is old."

The gambler also took out a cigarette and borrowed a fire from the cowboy by the way.

The cowboy blinked: "15 years old? Isn't that still a child! It's not my style to shoot women and children..."

However, when he heard the cowboy's words, the gambler snorted coldly.

"child?

"From the moment he became a stand-in messenger, he shouldn't use the standard of normal adults and children to look at each other, Hol Hess.

"In the past 24 hours, this kid first solved the "Grey Tower" on the plane and successfully survived the crashed airliner at an altitude of 8000 meters, and then solved the fake captain of the "Dark Blue Moon" in the Mediterranean Sea.

"I'm a gambler. I've seen all kinds of human beings in my past life, so I can tell that this kid is different with just one glance."

"Hey hey, don't talk like I don't know anything newbie, Darby."

Hall Hess said with some displeasure.

Immediately, the cowboy thought of something again: "Speaking of which, what did Joestar say?Wasn't it originally planned to let the bugs and the murlocs mess up their journey? "

The gambler responded, "Jostar? According to the itinerary originally planned by the old man from Joestar Real Estate, they should have come directly from Japan to Cairo."

The cowboy frowned: "Did you just say the word "originally"?In other words, their itinerary has changed? "

The gambler nodded: "Japan is halfway around the world from Cairo, so of course they have to transit halfway. And their transit point is in Calcutta, India...Then the problem came, they didn't take a direct flight to Cairo after arriving in Calcutta, Instead, the destination was changed - the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh."

Saudi Arabia and Egypt are separated by the Dead Sea, Israel, and the Red Sea.

To some extent, it can be called close at hand.

"...Switching to the land route, are you going to deal with our subordinates on the road first, and then go to Cairo to face Master Dior?"

"Watch your wording, cowboy, it should be Dior 'sir'. "

"Huh? Isn't he just a vampire? I came to work for him for the "bounty", not to work for him! "

"Are you going to say that if you don't like it, you can use your double to kill Lord Dio?"

"Yeah, can't you?"

"Oh! You guys don't understand anything at all, you simply can't understand how Master Dior's "world" exists beyond common sense! "

"you know?"

"Humph."

Darby didn't bother to say anything more to the uninformed cowboy.

Immediately, Darby changed the topic back: "As you guessed, Joestar is going to solve as many stand-in messengers as possible on the last section of the road, but that's not our job.

"Our job—is to get rid of this Zeppelin."

Hearing this, the cowboy made a shooting motion with his hand: "Let's go together? What reason do you find for him to sit down and gamble with you, and I will shoot him while you gamble!"

Gambler, however, shook his head.

"No, you just need to cover me and ensure that the "gamble" goes smoothly.But don't do it unless I lose. "

"Huh?"

"If I am shot to death by you, how can I collect the soul of the other party? Although the Qibelin family is not important to Lord Dior, I still heard Lord Dior mention it by chance. Lord Dior seemed to be related to Qibei a hundred years ago The ancestors of the Lin family have some stories, so..."

"You want to dedicate this kid's soul to Lord Dior?" the cowboy interjected.

Gambler nods.

"That's right! This is my "pre-meal" dedicated to Dio-sama!After I get rid of this brat, I will fetch the souls of Joestar and his party. That is the real main dish, and it is my tribute to Lord Dio!

"What's more - gamblers also have the dignity of gamblers. You only need to ensure that the game can be established, and don't do unnecessary things other than that."

"Tch, do whatever you want. If this is the case, I will never make a move until you are defeated! Let me see what kind of performance your "God Osiris" can bring. "

After all, the cowboy made a gesture of invitation to Darby while smoking a cigarette.

The gambler Darby tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the boy who had just left the supermarket with one foot and his backpack was full of things.

The boy is naturally Nero.

Nero had just bought water and food, a sleeping bag, and other miscellaneous things at the supermarket.

Then, Nero saw the oncoming gambler.

The gambler seemed to be afraid that Nero would not see that he was looking for trouble, so he not only stood about two meters in front of Nero, but also stared at Nero with malicious eyes.

The dark green stand-in with scarlet eyes appeared behind Darby unscrupulously.

"...Can't you wait for me to sleep before coming back?"

Chapter 12 Osiris and the Emperor Part II

It's different from the excitement when I saw the gray tower on the plane.

At this moment, because of hunger and tiredness, Nero only felt bored when he saw the stand-in messenger appearing in front of him.

What was even more irritating was the gambler's next words.

"Sleep? That's not okay! Taking advantage of the opponent's mental state to plunder all the chips in one go, this is the basic skill of a gambler, isn't it? Nero A. Zeppelin."

"Humph."

"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet, have I?

"I'm a stand-in messenger with a hint of Osiris, Darby—D'Arby, there's an apostrophe after the D, please help me—and, before you do something stupid, look to the side . "

"..."

Nero didn't say much, but directly revealed his substitute.

Just as he was about to throw a few punches to test the quality of the opponent, he saw Darby in front of him pointing his thumb at the cowboy at the entrance of the alley behind.

Nero looked down and saw a cowboy.

The cowboy smiled at Nero, and in the next moment, there was an oddly shaped pistol in his empty hand, like a combination of a revolver and an automatic pistol.

"...two against one?"

"That's right, that guy is Hol Hess, the substitute emissary who holds the hint of "Emperor"—then Mr. Zeppelin, do you mind if we chat in another place? "

Said the gambler.

The cowboy not far away also walked leisurely with a cigarette in his mouth.

Holding a gun in his right hand, he took out a pack of cigarettes in his left.

"Want one, boy?"

"Don't you think we can laugh and smoke and chat, cowboy?"

"Don't be so rigid! I don't have any grudges with you, I just collect people's money to help people eliminate disasters. Do it when it's time to do it, and it's okay to relax a little when you don't do it, isn't it?"

"No, I don't smoke."

"It's so cold."

The cowboy put away the cigarette regretfully.

Taking advantage of the gap between talking with the cowboy, Nero and his double sat on the hood of a black car on the side of the road seemingly casually.

"It's two-on-one, but you don't do it directly? Then there is another purpose... What do you want to do?"

"Just want to bet with you, no problem, Mr. Qibelin?"

"Lead the way."

Nero said so.

At the same time, Nero began to think about the status quo.

The gambler in front of him needs the cover of the cowboy holding the gun double. Does it mean that his double may have a weak basic ability, and the unknown body has certain activation conditions for the double ability?

Even if there is no cowboy, this gambler has no combat ability?

While Nero was thinking this way, he looked at the gambler Darby who was about to walk forward, and the cowboy Hall Hess standing about five meters behind him.

Nero poised to follow.

And the moment Darby fully exposed his back, Nero made a move.

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud noise, the cowboy's eyes showed a trace of panic.

What caught the cowboy's eyes was a car that suddenly flew towards him.

"what--?!

"The car parked on the side of the road actually started to move, and ran straight towards me! Isn't this guy's ability "flying"?

"Damn Dio, that stinky vampire is really not a good guy, and even gave me false information!"

Bang bang bang!

Faced with this sudden situation, the cowboy pulled the emperor in his hand without the slightest hesitation.

As the black limousine got closer, three bullets shot out of the air, drawing three arcs in the air and circling behind the car.
