JOJO: Bizarre Adventure

"You mean, the past I just witnessed was created by a being called 'Immortal'?"

"You could also say it's a substitute for someone called 'Fairy.'"

In Jiangdong Province, China, Qiao Zhou and his group of eight were sitting in a coffee shop.

Just now, on their way here, Qiao Zhou's stunt double suddenly reacted.

It's that "Storyteller's Fairy Tale Town" that was silent for two days.

This stand-in appears to appear only once in a long while, but in reality, it is used very frequently.

The reason they seemed to come out only once in a long while was because Qiao Zhou and his team's actions were too tightly scheduled.

Just like a middle school student who conquered Italy in nine days, Qiao Zhou and his group spent only four or five days from the time they went through World War II in Italy to killing Diablo and then dealing with Li Zhiwei.

This stand-in normally appears once a day, but it has appeared at least three times in the past few days.

The first time it was used was on Guander Slick.

The second one was Diablo. Although I didn't immediately process all the information at the time, I did manage to organize it later.

He didn't see the whole past, only the story before Diablo killed his mother and the priest, which he already knew, only in more detail.

The last time there was a reaction was just now.

He was walking down the street when his stand-in suddenly emerged from his body, and the book in the "storyteller's" hand unfolded.

The phrase "Storyteller's Fairy Tale Town" further reflects this.

He saw a passerby's past, and he saw an old man asking him for help. After he helped the old man, he received a talisman.

He sensed something was amiss, so he immediately told them what had happened.

The teammates were all confused after hearing this, but You Sifang seemed to understand something.

“That is… an immortal.”

It was only then that Qiao Zhou seemed to realize what it meant to need his "knowledge".

And that's how the scene at the beginning came about.

"So this is the old man's Stand attack."

"That's one way to put it, but as a substitute, 'Immortal' is purely a substitute; he doesn't have a real body. The old man you saw wasn't his real body either, but rather 'Immortal' himself."

Hearing this, Tanshanyu and Liyouan were both very surprised, but the others did not react much.

All I can say is that they were surprised, but not that surprised.

Qiao Zhou had read JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and was therefore immune to such strange and unusual things.

Katsuki Nakajima is a man who has seen the world, and for him, composure under pressure is an essential quality.

Joe McPee... from his first appearance until now, he's the only one who's ever said something surprising; no one else has ever said anything surprising to him.

Zhao Shitang and Zhou Gengxu are complete idiots. They know absolutely nothing, have virtually no experience in Stand combat, and their understanding of these systems is even less than their experience in Stand combat.

"What are the abilities of those 'immortals'?"

"This is a kind of folk legend-like existence; 'immortals' test people's good and evil deeds, and then bestow punishment or reward upon them."

"So his ability is, 'to observe good and evil'?"

"Not really."

You Sifang explained.

"The way the immortal judges a person's good or evil is very simple: he will ask the person for help. If the person helps him, he is a good person and will be rewarded; if the person does not help him, he is an evil person and will be punished."

"Not a buddy,"

Even Zhao Shitang couldn't help but complain after hearing this ruling.

"What kind of judgment is this? If someone helps him, he's a good person; if they don't, he's a bad person. This absurd logic is purely to satisfy this old man's personal fetish!"

You Sifang shook his head.

"Regardless, the 'Immortal' is a very difficult being to deal with. Once he truly labels you as an evil person, you will be hunted down by him. His strength is terrifying; for ordinary people, it's practically divine power."

His eyes seemed to be in thought.

"I don't know the exact strength of our team. To put it bluntly, however, in my opinion, if none of the eight of us drag our feet, our chances of surviving from 'Immortal' are over 90%."

"That so-called 'immortal' isn't really that capable."

Zhao Shitang said nonchalantly.

Only Qiao Maipi immediately understood the meaning behind You Sifang's words.

"Interesting, very interesting."

He stared at the young man in front of him with a playful look.

--------

Japan, Morio Town.

Before Higashikata Josuke could react, the white-robed elder had already vanished from the spot.

"not good!"

Josuke felt a sense of foreboding and immediately took out his phone to call Yitai.

But no one answered the phone.

He knew there must be something wrong with the old man, so he made another call, this time to the "Du Wang Gang".

This is Morio Town. No matter who this old man is, it's always right to ask the Morio Gang for help.

On the other side, Okuyasu had only run out a short while when he bumped into Hirose Koichi, who was coming from another road.

"Yi Tai, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Kang Yi greeted Yi Tai with a smile, but Yi Tai looked rather anxious and only gave a brief reply before leaving.

However, as he turned into the next intersection, a white figure blocked his way.

This man had white hair and beard, wore a white robe, and held a whisk in his hand; he could be described as having the air of an immortal.

But Yitai ignored him completely and dodged to the side to get past the old man.

He still needed to withdraw the money to have dinner at Tony's restaurant.

He didn't eat lunch because of this.

"You wretched child!"

Seeing this, the old man became even more displeased.

"Not only are you devoid of kindness, but you also dare to be so disrespectful to this immortal. I was originally thinking of teaching you a lesson, but now it seems there's no need to spare you!"

The words of the "immortal" seemed to carry immense pressure, and as soon as they were spoken, Yi Tai's steps suddenly stopped.

"You wretched creature, I will execute you on the spot!"

With these words, the "immortal" flicked his whisk, sending a wave of energy towards Yi Tai, who was ten meters away.

Although Yi Tai was a bit slow on the uptake, he knew that the old man in front of him was no good. When he saw that the old man had launched an attack on him directly, he released his substitute to defend himself.

"Bombard Space!"

A burly figure in blue and white appeared in front of Yi Tai, and with a wave of his right hand, he neutralized the incoming shockwave.

"Oh?"

The old man snorted.

"You wretched creature, you actually know a little bit of Taoist magic. Since that's the case, I, the immortal, must capture and kill you. I absolutely cannot let you wreak havoc on the world!"

Yi Tai didn't care about what the old man said. He only needed to understand one thing: this old man was an enemy. That was enough.

Since he's the enemy, defeating him is the only option. Although his elder brother often says that one should not act rashly but should think things through first, he has no other choice now.

He had to end the battle quickly because Josuke was still waiting for him at Tonio's restaurant.

Although Okuyasu used his Stand ability, it wasn't a killing move. Although his Stand possessed unparalleled offensive power, his older brother had told him to avoid killing unless absolutely necessary.

He needs to pull the old man over first, then beat him until he can't fight back.

That way, it wouldn't count as murder, and he could explain it to his older brother.

Of course, none of these are the most important things. The most important thing is that he still needs to eat.
