JOJO: Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 200 The Duplication of Faith, the Wisdom of Unorthodox Methods

My name is Feng Guti, and I am a male high school student.

I'd like to ask you all, what are some things you've done that you regret?

It's the kind of mistake that causes very serious consequences.

I've done it.

Just today.

Due to my family's financial situation, my physical health is not very good, but my studies are okay.

Before I recount my experiences today, I want to talk about my brother.

His name is Feng Gulu. Seven years ago, he left his hometown to work in a big city. In the four years that followed, he never went home.

Aside from occasionally sending back some money, he hardly ever wrote letters.

My parents don't blame my older brother, and neither do I.

We know that he's having a much harder time than we are, venturing out into the world alone.

This is completely understandable.

It's already quite an achievement that he can send money home.

If I could, I know he would rather be away from home and struggle alone than anyone else.

But this is the best path he can take. He can't do anything else; he won't amount to much in a small town like ours.

You might be thinking, what's so interesting about this? Isn't this a very cliché story?

Then I can only say that you've seen too much of the phenomenon, but ignored the essence.

Uh... that's how our Chinese teacher taught reading comprehension.

This is indeed a very simple and ordinary matter, but it is precisely the life of many people, isn't it?

For me, Feng Guti, seven years ago, as an ordinary elementary school student, my older brother was my idol, the person I admired most and wanted to become.

However, three years ago, when I was still in junior high school, my older brother came back.

I don't want to describe how I felt at the time, because my Chinese teacher told me that extreme human emotions cannot be described by any words.

In short, I'm happy, and that's enough.

Today should be a pretty ordinary day, no different from any other.

Of course, there are differences. I didn't have class today because it's a holiday.

Also, the things my brother has to do are a bit different.

My brother didn't tell me, but I know he's going to find someone.

It wasn't about dating or anything like that; the person he was looking for was a liar.

That guy cheated our family out of money, but we can't do anything about it.

His deception was so sophisticated that even after listening to the entire story, I still couldn't understand it.

Moreover, legal avenues were completely inaccessible, so in the end, my brother had to find a solution on his own.

He didn't tell anyone about it, including me and his parents.

Outsiders don't even know that we've been scammed.

But I learned by chance that he had found out where the swindler lived and planned to go there alone.

I know I can't let him go alone; it's too dangerous.

But I don't dare to call the police, because I don't know what the consequences will be.

So I chose the dumbest method: tracking.

I followed him all the way to that guy's place; it was the best way I could think of.

In retrospect, that was incredibly stupid.

If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have died.

--------

My name is Han Yuzhi, and I am a businessman.

What, you're asking if I'm a scammer?

Are you an idiot? Who would openly admit to being a liar?

I don't know what stance I should take in telling this story, because it's unreasonable.

Indeed, today, a fellow named Feng Gulu died indirectly because of me.

But what does this have to do with you? What does it have to do with me?

In this world, people are dying every day. Instead of paying attention to those who directly kill people, you come to question me.

Are you bored?

I still stand by what I said.

I don't know what stance I should take in telling this story, because it's unreasonable.

Why am I sharing my experiences today, and why am I communicating with you unseen people?

You're saying that five people have already done this before?

What nonsense are you spouting? They can say it, so I have to say it too?

Don't you use your brain when you go out?

Okay, okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, alright?

Today, someone who had been scammed—no, wait, someone who lost money doing business with me—found out my address and came looking for me.

This isn't fraud; I'm just doing business. He simply lost money.

It's not about being a scam.

Anyway, that's how it is. Then we started arguing, and he tried to hit me.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me ask you this: if someone came to your house with a knife and wanted to fight you, could you tolerate it?

But this guy is really tough to deal with; I almost got subdued by him.

Luckily, a kid suddenly appeared and attracted that guy's attention, which gave me a chance to succeed.

In this line of work, you'll never amount to anything without some real skills.

He was lying on the ground, and I stabbed him several times in his groin with a knife.

The kid who suddenly appeared just ran away, and I couldn't catch him.

As for this guy, he died of excessive blood loss, what does that have to do with me?

At most, I was only indirectly responsible for his death.

That's basically it, I'm done explaining.

What else do you want to hear? Why should I tell you? And where exactly is this? Why should I tell you a story in the first person?

Wait, what do you mean by that?!

What do you mean by "Truly worthy of being called 'wise,' able to even perceive something like this"?!

Who do you think you are, you bastard!

Hey, wait a minute, this isn't right. What do you mean by "the story is over, and this character is useless now, it's a pity such a smart person"? What nonsense are you spouting!

What exactly do you want to do?!

you……

--------

My name is Meng Shiren, and I don't know what's going on.

I feel like I indirectly caused someone's death, and I admit that it was indeed my fault.

If it's my problem, I can't run away from it; that's the least I can do to respect the world and others.

Although at the time, I didn't have a better option.

I can't think of anything like it.

But from then on, things took an unexpected turn.

Now, I am in a pitch-black space. Opposite me is a grayish-looking figure, which, judging from its build, should be a man.

Without saying a word, this guy attacked me. Luckily, I'm a professional boxer, so I could barely handle it.

But as I played, I discovered a problem.

This guy seems to have no sense of pain.

I realized that the figure in front of me was likely not human.

This means that my chances of winning are even lower.

I can't hold on any longer.

I might really be going to die...
