JOJO: Bizarre Adventure

Squeak-!

Diablo pushed open the dilapidated wooden door and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

He looked wary and was extremely cautious about everything around him.

""epitaph"!"

After using his ability, Diablo was confronted with a terrifying scene.

He was half-buried under the floorboards, riddled with bullets.

"Wait! 'King Crimson'! Time travel!"

Diablo cursed under his breath and immediately activated Time Deletion to avoid damage.

The space around him shattered, and Diablo moved as if he were in an empty place, easily crossing the trap and arriving at the rear.

"found it!"

He quickly located his opponent's position, then exited the time-deleted state, and time resumed its normal flow.

However, the other party was also very cautious. He quickly noticed the anomaly in the time and instantly realized the current situation.

The man quickly turned around, his avatar appeared, and he threw a punch at the man.

Needless to say, the enemy will definitely not have the upper hand against the "Crimson King," who has the best speed and power.

After being knocked back by a punch, "Crimson King" pressed his advantage and immediately subdued his opponent.

"Alright, alright, alright! Stop it!"

Just then, Loanke suddenly appeared at the door and loudly stopped Diablo.

Diablo made no further move, stood up, and came to Loanke's side.

"You did a great job this time. You managed to get through an attack by five people without taking any damage in half an hour. Your progress is really fast."

Loanke didn't even take out his notebook; he just said a few words.

"You have performed exceptionally well in both training and missions over the past few months."

Even among all the new recruits I've mentored, you're the most outstanding.

--------

three months ago.

"What? You're even assigning me the task of mentoring newbies...?"

Loanke muttered in dissatisfaction.

"I'm a field operations unit, why should I do such troublesome things? Isn't the organization already handling this kind of work?"

"This is Mr. Virgil's instruction. Although you have never trained a new recruit, your combat ability is sufficient."

"All right? - _ - ?"

Loanke reluctantly accepted the task, even though he had never mentored a new recruit before.

--------

"You have performed exceptionally well in both training and missions over the past few months."

Even among all the new recruits I've mentored, you're the most outstanding.

Loanke walked straight ahead, not even glancing at Diablo behind him.

"After working here for these past few days, you should be able to adapt to the pace here. I'll ask my superiors for instructions, and then you'll be considered a fully trained master."

He walked along, eating the banana in his hand.

"Now I'm someone who has led cadres."

Although he said that, he didn't seem happy at all.

"But young man, I must offer a word of advice,"

He suddenly changed the subject:

"Although we are an underground gang, we still operate in a very disciplined manner."

Upon hearing this, Diablo guessed what he was going to say.

Although Loanke had never taught him these things, he was able to read people's expressions.

"As gangsters, we can act without following the law, and we don't need to suppress our personalities all the time."

For example, I know someone who is extremely fond of money, or rather, greedy, in a frenzied way.

The person he's talking about is someone you all know.

"But he has a bottom line. Even if he is greedy, he will not touch drugs, human trafficking, or organ trade."

He could have worked for the Katz government, which would have given him more power and wealth, but he didn't.

Loanke didn't say it explicitly, but Diablo understood what he meant.

"Human desires are limitless, but as a cadre of 'Hell,' you must also learn to suppress your own desires."

I see ambition in your eyes, endless ambition.

He suddenly turned his head, his eyes fixed on Diablo's eyes, a look that made Diablo's heart tremble.

"Your style of doing things is very ruthless. You are decisive in dealing with people and things. This is both a good thing and a bad thing."

He said, slowly and deliberately:

"If you cannot suppress your ambition and let it grow, one day you will be consumed by it."

That's the current state of Kars; he seems invincible, but in reality, he doesn't possess the abilities to match his ambitions.

There was one more thing that Loanke didn't say.

"The same is true of Virgil now."

He turned around and continued walking outside.

"Goodbye, young man. No, I should call you Mr. Diablo, after all, you represent a cadre of 'Dis City.'"

After getting on the bus, Luo Anke breathed a sigh of relief.

"Honestly, that Farinata guy, he actually made me say this outright, it's really putting me in a difficult position,"

He muttered a complaint under his breath.

"I just don't understand what he meant by what he said about Kars..."

He didn't delve into it, because he understood that the more he thought about it, the worse it was sometimes.

His assessment of Diablo was mostly based on his own feelings, with only a small portion being words that Farinata had asked him to pass on.

Loanke also understood that Diablo's problem wasn't anything serious.

In terms of ambition and cunning, Virgil was far more cunning than him.

That was absolutely bottomless.

However, these were not things he could consider; he was just an ordinary gang member.

It's very "ordinary".

"Let's drive."

His destination was Farinata.

after an hour.

"Mr. Farinata, I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's alright, I knew you'd arrive soon enough."

Farinata's expression remained strangely calm, as if nothing in the world concerned him.

“I forgot that you know everything that will happen in the future.”

Loanke sat down directly on the sofa next to him.

"Of the Seven Deadly Sins, you are the smartest."

Farinata's words came out of nowhere, leaving Loanke momentarily bewildered.

"Even in the entire [Hell], your wisdom is among the best."

“Is that so? Then I am honored by Mr. Farinata’s kind words.”

"You don't need to try to fool me, I know what you're thinking."

Farinata's tone remained calm and composed.

"You're just too lazy to use your brain. In reality, your brainpower is second to none, which is why I came to you."

Loanke was somewhat uneasy; he seemed to have guessed something.

"I called you here today because of something that only you can do, because you are one of the few people I can absolutely trust."

When Luo Anke heard these words, it was like being struck by lightning.

"Oh no, trouble's brewing..."

He sighed inwardly.

"This matter will be discussed more than ten years from now..."

--------

I forgot to mention the panel in the previous chapter, here it is:

Stand Name: A Night at the Opera

Original body: Farinata de Uberti

Destructive power E

Speed ​​E

Range D

Endurance A

Precision E

Growth potential completed

Ability: Reverse memory aging.

From the moment the original body came into this world, it possessed all the memories of its entire life, and at the same time, it obtained this stand.

As time passes, the original body gradually forgets its past memories, only retaining the 'future' that it has never experienced.

The original body's 'past' will be gradually sealed in the substitute's sarcophagus. Today's original body will forget yesterday's memories, but it is not completely unaware. It can still know some things through reasoning and conversations with people, and these are also future memories.

"Until one day, I will lose all my memories, and then, having completed my mission, I will die as I remember."

Appearance: A stone coffin, sealing away the past of the original body.
