Lee Sin's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 307 The Dark Emperor and the Cartoonist
1999年4月5日，下午17：59。

Diablo appeared 1 minute early at the plaza in front of the Morioh Town Tram Station.

Before that, he had actually wandered quietly in the shadows for a long time. After confirming that there were no traces of Li Qing and others nearby, he carefully took the time to walk into the sun.

The crowds of people in front of the tram stop during rush hour are extremely lively.

Diablo doesn't really like going to crowded places, but this meeting place is the best option he has carefully selected.

The coming and going crowd can just provide him with cover, making his distinctive and exotic appearance seem inconspicuous.

Once Li Qing broke out halfway, he could quickly use the Time Cut to blend in with the crowd, using the turbulent crowd to interfere with Li Qing's hearing.

Even if he is too unlucky to escape, he can still take these ordinary citizens hostage, and restrain those righteous people who stick to morality and humanity.

Diablo has everything ready.

But he was still a little nervous:

"Kira Yoshikage."

"I hope that guy doesn't play tricks."

No matter how cautious he is, he cannot grasp all the variables.

Diablo could only try his best to raise his vigilance to the highest level, and then walked towards the agreed final location in a low-key and careful way:
That is the square in front of the tram station, the public bench closest to the station exit.

Both he and Yoshikage Kira are cautious people by nature. They not only agreed to meet here, but also set the alarm signal in advance:

Diablo must sit on this bench on time by 18:00.

If Diablo cannot be seen near this chair, it means that the situation has changed and the meeting will be cancelled, and Yoshikage Kira will leave directly and never appear again.

So, at this moment, Diablo approached the bench purposefully.

However, his brows were quickly frowned slightly:

"Someone?"

Someone was already sitting on the bench.

It was a young man with a gentle temperament, full of energy, fashionable and well-dressed, and looked quite artistic.

The "artistic atmosphere" on him is the easiest to see:
Because he was holding a paintbrush in his hand, with a sketchbook on his lap, and he was drawing and drawing on the drawing paper with concentration.

And beside this young man, there are still a few elementary school students in uniforms with childish faces chattering around:
"It turned out to be the great manga artist Rohan-san Kishibe!"

"The "Red and Black Boy" you drew is our favorite comic work!"

"I didn't expect to meet you in this kind of place. It's really, really incredible."

The eyes of several elementary school students were full of idol worship.

They surrounded the great cartoonist enthusiastically, their immature faces full of excitement and fanaticism.

And Kishibe Rohan seems to have long been used to such enthusiastic onlookers from young fans.

He stopped his brush and smiled at the pupils:
"It's nice to meet everyone. But, I'm a little sorry"

"I'm sketching here now, so it's not convenient to chat with everyone."

"If possible, can you let me concentrate on finishing this painting?"

Although it was actually a thousand miles away from people, Kishibe Rohan's tone of voice was very gentle and calm at the moment, and it didn't make people feel uncomfortable at all.

Sensing Kishibe Rohan's request, several fanatical little fans immediately nodded obediently and said:

"Okay, Mr. Kishi, we won't disturb your idea and creation."

"Thank you for understanding."

"I usually sketch here, and I will see you in the future."

Kishibe Rohan calmed down the emotions of these children with a smile, and watched the few little fans go away calmly.

When these little fans left, he immediately lowered his head and concentrated on drawing the unfinished painting.

"A cartoonist who goes out to sketch?"

“seemed to be ok”

Diablo observed Kishibe Rohan carefully, and his vigilance relaxed a little:
The enthusiasm and admiration of the few elementary school students just now were very sincere. Unless they were all born movie kings, the young man in front of them should be the cartoonist they talked about.

And Diablo has also observed carefully. When those elementary school students made a commotion just now, many passers-by nearby also cast their inquiring gazes here.

Judging from the surprise and excitement in those eyes, the identity of this young man as a well-known cartoonist is even more certain.

"It should be just a cartoonist who happened to be sitting here sketching."

"He shouldn't be a threat to me. But"

Diablo, who was as alert and astute as a cheetah, soon discovered another suspicious place:

There is a lot of traffic at the station, so it's not surprising that there are other people on the benches.

But a cartoonist, going to such a noisy place to sketch?

Can you draw in such a noisy place?
Maybe he did it on purpose.

He was actually with Li Qing, so he ambush here one step ahead of time?
Because of the psychological shadow caused by Li Qing these days, Diablo is almost paranoid about being persecuted.

Wait for a moment to calm down and think carefully:
Li Qing's side clearly had an overwhelming advantage in combat power, if they knew their whereabouts, they could just push them flat, there was no need to take the risk of such unnecessary drama.

Diablo was struggling, but Kishibe Rohan, who was sitting on the bench beside him, had already completed the painting without hesitation.

He breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his hand and put down the brush, then raised his head and said to Diablo:

"Mr. You seem to have been observing me for almost half a minute."

"Are you interested in my paintings?"

"If that's the case, I would like to let people taste it."

Kishibe Rohan held the painting with wet ink and said to Diablo very seriously.

"Well"

Diablo hesitated for a moment, then answered without revealing any flaws:
"Yes, I am really interested in the art of painting."

"But there's one thing that surprises me."

"The environment here is so noisy, why do you want to paint here?"

He tentatively said.

"It's kind of my personal hobby."

"I like to sketch in crowded places, so that I can observe all kinds of passers-by and get in touch with the most real world."

"These can provide inspiration for my creation, and the noisy environment can also temper my state of mind for painting."

Artists have their own quirks, and Kishibe Rohan's reasons are very normal.

"Oh I got it."

"It seems that you are really a very accomplished painter."

Diablo said a few scenes in a leisurely manner, as if he wanted to stop questioning.

However, the moment his expression relaxed, his spiritual energy surged like a huge wave:

"The Crimson King!"

Caught off guard, the hideous Scarlet King appeared out of thin air.

As soon as it appeared, it slashed forward with all its strength, as if it wanted to split Kishibe Rohan's brain with one blow.

But Kishibe Rohan remained motionless.

It was as if he couldn't see the Scarlet King at all, and his eyes didn't fluctuate.

In the end, the scarlet king's knife came to a close stop in front of Kishibe Rohan's eyes an inch from his forehead, and the strong wind from the slash made his hair dance wildly.

"Why is it so windy all of a sudden?"

Kishibe Rohan frowned suspiciously.

Then, he handed out the painting to Diablo without changing his expression:

"This is a painting I just finished."

"Sir, do you want to see it?"

"."

Diablo fell into a brief silence:

This guy didn't respond to the crimson king's temptation at all. It seemed that the other party was not a stand-in messenger.

Am I suspicious?No
Thinking about it another way, if the other party is a stand-in messenger but can still turn a blind eye to the Scarlet King, that would be a really terrible trouble.

Diablo's suspicious character has been strengthened to the extreme with the worsening situation.

Although Kishibe Rohan has been shown countless times to prove that he is just an ordinary person who just happened to appear, he still can't let go of the lingering suspicion.

Facing the painting that Kishibe Rohan handed over, Diablo has been hesitating in a daze.

"Let's take a look at the future."

"Today's meeting must not go wrong, and all hidden dangers must be eliminated."

In the end, Diablo couldn't help but took out his bottom-of-the-box insurance measures:
"King Crimson—Epitaph!"

The epitaph's ability was activated quietly, and the scene of the next ten seconds instantly appeared in his mind.

Diablo's expression suddenly became a little subtle:
Not because he saw any danger, but because the future he saw this time was so ordinary that it was unexpected.

In the past, he could always see his own strange death in the future of the epitaph, but this time.
In the first second, Kishibe Rohan handed over the painting.

In the second second, Diablo began to appreciate it.

The painting was indeed very exquisite, allowing him, an amateur who only knew a little about the art of painting, to see the painter's profound painting skills.

In the third second, Diablo began to compliment politely.

Fourth, five, six, seven, eight, nine seconds.
Kishibe Rohan and Diablo have been talking about this painting in one sentence.

In the tenth second, Diablo finally managed to get rid of Kishibe Rohan, who was overly enthusiastic about art, and made the great manga artist calmly shut his mouth.

Kishibero immediately raised his pen and lowered his head, as if he wanted to continue sketching and painting.

"It seems that I really think too much."

"I didn't expect that I, Diablo, would be forced to such a situation."

Diablo sighed slightly, feeling very melancholy.

But he quickly regained his composure, and took over the painting from Kishibe Rohan according to the foreseeable future:
"It is indeed a painting that can make people's eyes shine."

"This painting should be."

Diablo started chatting with a flat expression.

The time passed second by second according to the predetermined pattern.

In the ninth second, the short chat between the two was about to come to an end.

In the tenth second, Kishibe Rohan closed his mouth, raised his pen and lowered his head, as if he wanted to continue creating.

"Sure enough, there's nothing wrong with it."

"My whereabouts have not been revealed yet, so I just need to wait for Yoshikage Kira to come over."

Diablo thought about it with relief.

However, at this moment, at the 11th second that the epitaph did not predict.
"You are the first person to see this painting."

"The conditions have been fulfilled, then, Diablo"

Kishibe Rohan, the manga artist whom Diablo regarded as a harmless passer-by, suddenly called out his real name in a cold tone.

A coolness suddenly gushed out of his body, and Diablo sensed that the situation was not good, and instinctively wanted to cut off the time and escape.

However, his action already seemed a bit late.

"Let me read your story—"

Kishibe Rohan picked up the paintbrush, and a phantom figure appeared on his body:
"Heaven's Door!"
