From the curse back, I started to eat the clone's soft rice

As for the time reserve problem that often troubled Kurumi in the original work, it has been solved long ago. Apart from anything else, just from the perspective of lifespan, the lifespan of the fusion warriors can be considered quite outrageous, so outrageous that it does not seem like a technological product that should exist in the world view of Honkai Impact 3rd.

In the neighboring Star Iron World, the average lifespan of the immortals, the Xianzhou people, is only 800 to 1,000 years old. A fusion warrior can easily make an ordinary person's lifespan soar to tens of thousands of years, and there is still no limit in sight.

It can be said that compared to strength, the improvement in lifespan is the most outrageous aspect of fusion warrior technology.

With a lifespan that seemed to have no end in sight, An Xiu naturally let Tokisaki Kurumi absorb energy from him as she pleased, but the way she absorbed it was a little different from the normal way of absorbing energy.

Besides, even if she didn't take time away from An Xiu and the clones around An Xiu, Tokisaki Kurumi could still go to the Ark for a buffet.

There are many immortal species in the Ark worldview, such as behemoths, beast masters, and the more common Sarkaz.

The natural lifespan of an ordinary Sarkaz is at least several hundred years, and some like the Scavenger Lord can live for tens of thousands of years.

Moreover, if An Xiu remembered correctly, there seemed to be no Sarkaz who died of old age in the previous life's Ark's text.

PS: There will be another update later

Chapter 139: Jotaro Kujo: This Stand's ability is... manipulating time?!

It can be said that what slowed down the progress of Anshu and others in obtaining insect arrows was not the strength of Polnareff, Diablo and others, but the speed at which they found the other party's hiding place.

Since the Zealot organization's sphere of influence spreads throughout Italy, Polnareff in the original novel was very cautious in hiding in order to protect the Insect Arrow.

She has no contact with the outside world in a normal way and most likely stays in her room every day without even going out. In this case, even if Tokisaki Kurumi can send out many clones, she can only conduct a carpet search from house to house.

Of course, there is a faster way. As long as Anshu goes to Rome and releases his perception, he can immediately find Polnareff's hiding place. However, as mentioned before, Anshu does not intend to do that. Instead, he plans to let Kurumi and Sakuya, who are clones, give full play to their abilities.

However, Kuang San did not intend to rely entirely on such a foolish method as carpet searching to obtain insect arrows. While sending out her clones, she also made another preparation.

The stands in the JOJO world possess all kinds of magical abilities. It can be said that there are stands capable of anything, including intelligence and reconnaissance.

Tokisaki Kurumi's plan was very simple. Since she couldn't find anyone for the time being, she would ask others to help her find it.

It just so happens that there is a person in the original work who cares about Polnareff very much and also has an intelligence stand by his side.

That is Jotaro Kujo, the protagonist of the third part of the Jojo series and an important supporting character in the fourth and sixth parts.

Of course, the one who possesses intelligence capabilities is not Jotaro Kujo himself, but Joseph Joestar, whose stand, Hermit Purple, can read out a photo of the target's approximate location according to the user's purpose.

Even with the photo, you still need to find the target yourself, but it is still better than having Tokisaki Kurumi send her clones to sneak into every house.

"It's good that you have a plan in mind. In that case, I'm ready to watch the show."

Unless fate causes both Tokisaki Kurumi and Izayoi Sakuya to fail due to force majeure, Anxiu has no intention of taking action in this world.

To him, the Stand User was too fragile. If he couldn't control it well, a sneeze could kill a large group of people.

If An Xiu were to use all his strength in this world now, he could sink a continental plate with one punch. Using such a number to attack a Stand user would be like using a pure nuclear bomb to kill a mosquito.

Therefore, it would be nice to stay in this manor and watch her clone do things. Tokisaki Kurumi obviously understood An Xiu's meaning very well. Apart from arranging clones for An Xiu to play with, she had no intention of asking An Xiu for help.

As the master, An Xiu only needs to enjoy herself. All other problems should be left to her clones to solve. Even if the master is still just an ordinary person with no power like when she first traveled through time, this will not change.

No matter how weak the master is, he is still the master. No matter how powerful the clone is, he should serve the master and give everything for the master. This is the absolute loyalty of the clone.

It can be said that the fact that Anxiu doesn't care about anything in the manor and only asks for things makes Tokisaki Kurumi and Izayoi Sakuya happy, because this is exactly the value they show to their master Anxiu.

An avatar like Mebius who asks Anxiu to help her collect research materials is an exception, although her fundamental purpose is also to produce better results to help Anxiu.

By the way, this manor also belongs to Tokisaki Kurumi. When the clone is materialized, it will be automatically and randomly assigned a reasonable identity by the system. Although most of the identities are unremarkable and are ordinary identities that will not bring any help, some rarer identities will occasionally appear randomly.

The identity that Tokisaki Kurumi randomly assigned in this world is a rich lady. Her parents are both dead but she is quite wealthy. This manor is the property owned by Tokisaki Kurumi, but now it has been given to Anxiu by Tokisaki Kurumi. As the nominal original owner of the manor, she sends her clones to complete the tasks assigned by Anxiu while serving Anxiu in the manor.

......

JOJO world, SPW consortium headquarters.

In an office somewhere, a phone rang.

Seeing this, Jotaro Kujo, who was sitting in his office chair flipping through a marine animal magazine, stood up and answered the phone.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Jotaro Kujo?"

"Yes, are you?"

Listening to the voice of a strange girl coming from the other end of the phone, Jotaro Kujo asked calmly after repeatedly confirming that he had no impression of this voice.

"Ala, it was really hard to find your phone number, but it looks like I finally found the right person."

"Then I'll get straight to the point. I have some information about your companions. Would you be interested?"

Intelligence about your companions?

Hearing this, Jotaro Kujo frowned slightly.

"please say."

On the other end of the phone, Tokisaki Kurumi, who had changed back into her regular clothes and was standing at a public telephone booth somewhere in Italy for a meeting, had a smile on her face.

"Do you remember Polnareff, who split up with you to investigate the arrow's whereabouts, heading to Europe and Africa? Now, he's trapped in Italy, trying to protect a special arrow, and is being persecuted miserably by a local mafia organization called the Passionate."

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Jotaro Kujo, who was in the SPW Foundation office, tightened his grip on the phone.

Several years ago, in order to recover the Stand Arrows scattered around the world, Jotaro Kujo and Polnareff split up to track down the whereabouts of the arrows. Jotaro Kujo was responsible for America and Asia, while Polnareff was responsible for Europe and Africa.

At the beginning, the two were still in contact with each other, but one day, Polnareff suddenly lost contact. Realizing that his former comrade might have been in trouble, Jotaro Kujo wanted to investigate, but he had no idea the specific location where Polnareff lost contact.

I didn’t expect it to be in Italy?

Jotaro Kujo did not suspect that the person on the other end of the phone was lying to him. After all, he knew the existence of the arrow and could accurately say the name of his companion and the purpose of their separation. These points alone showed that the other party must know clues about Polnareff.

Of course, this does not mean that Jotaro is no longer vigilant. It is better to say that Jotaro has already raised his vigilance to the maximum at this moment.

"What is your purpose in deliberately revealing this information to me?"

"My purpose is quite simple. I also want the special arrow in your companion's hand, but the situation here is very complicated. The organization persecuting your companion is very powerful and has many Stand users. Therefore, I need to introduce new variables to make the situation here more chaotic."

"By the way, there is a descendant of Dio who is currently in Italy."

The timeline of the Jojo world is now in August 1999, just a few months away from the timeline of the fourth part, and more than a year away from the beginning of the fifth part. During this period, Jotaro Kujo has not yet investigated the descendants of DIO, so this news is undoubtedly another shocking news for Jotaro.

"DIO's descendant..."

Jotaro muttered to himself.

"Yes, and he's DIO's most outstanding offspring."

Tokisaki Kurumi responded affirmatively.

If you're wondering why I'm so sure...

The moment Tokisaki Kurumi finished speaking, the whole world suddenly fell silent.

The clock stopped ticking and thoughts also stopped at this moment. Only Jotaro Kujo, who was at the SPW Group headquarters, was also frozen in the posture of picking up the phone, but his pupils were constantly shaking because of the situation in front of him.

It's because he is too familiar with this ability, but it is precisely because he is too familiar with it that Jotaro Kujo feels even more unbelievable at this moment.

"This Stand's ability is... manipulating time?!!"

The Passionate Organization, DIO's descendants, manipulating time, companions in trouble, countless thoughts flashed through Jotaro's mind at this moment.

Chapter 140: The Bucciarati team tries to open the box, and Tokisaki Kurumi arrives

In a telephone booth on the streets of Italy, Tokisaki Kurumi hung up the call.

Not a single word she said just now was a lie. Polnareff was indeed persecuted by the Zealot Organization for protecting Insect Arrow, and Italy did have DIO's most outstanding descendants.

After all, Giorno has become the protagonist of the fifth part. In the original plot, he even awakened the Golden Requiem, one of the top stands, and became the godfather of the gang. Isn't he much stronger than the descendants of DIO in the sixth part?

She simply made Sakuya Izayoi use time stop once during the call, and the duration was exactly nine seconds, not more or less.

As for what kind of associations the other side will have because of this, it is none of her business.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Sakuya."

After hanging up the phone, Tokisaki Kurumi said to Sakuya Izayoi who was standing beside her.

"Easy to do."

Izayoi Sakuya shook her head at this.

It was just a pause of a few seconds, which didn't even take much time for her.

"All you have to do now is wait patiently. During this time, just focus on hunting more Stand Users for your Master."

......

In this way, two days passed.

The death of Polpo, the cadre in charge of the assessment of new recruits in the Passion Organization, was just the beginning. In the past two days, several Stand users of the Passion Organization have died mysteriously, and without exception, they were all killed by gunfire.

It was obvious that the attacker was the same person who had killed Polpo before.

The direct consequence of this situation was that the entire organization became restless.

The death of just one Polpo could be a personal vendetta and revenge, but now the attackers are obviously targeting their entire organization, which is undoubtedly the most serious provocation to the organization.

This is no longer an ordinary attacker, he must be dealt a heavy blow!

"That's just the way it is."

In a café somewhere in the city, Bucciarati spoke to several of his companions.

"Because the attackers have caused serious damage and provocation to the organization, in order to quickly identify and eliminate the attackers, the boss has announced that anyone who can find and kill the attackers who provoked the organization will be promoted directly to a cadre."

After saying this, Bucciarati's face turned serious, while his companions sitting in the seats opened their mouths wide with a look of astonishment.

There is no other reason, it's just that the reward is too generous. You know, as a local Italian gang, the Passion Organization has already spread its influence across many cities across the country under Diavolo's secret management. It is an absolute behemoth.

Since the boss of the Zealous Organization, Diablo, never shows up and never lets anyone know his true identity and appearance, and even his orders are conveyed through remote communication and other means, the cadres of the major organizations, whose status is only second to the boss, are absolute local tyrants unless the boss directly issues orders.

Take the previously killed cadre Polpo as an example. Even though he was in prison for special reasons, there were still many people around Polpo who tried to curry favor with him. Not only did they build luxurious suites in the prison, but every day someone also sent him various delicacies according to his preferences.

The many guards in the prison were not so much guarding the prisoners as being arranged to be Polpo's bodyguards in disguise. Until he was killed, Polpo lived an extremely comfortable life.

It can be said that the reward released by the BOSS at the moment is a great opportunity for countless gang members in the passionate organization to reach the top overnight.

Bucciarati and others were obviously aware of this and had certain ideas about this reward.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to make contributions and become an organizational cadre is not just Bucciarati's idea, but the common expectation of all members of the entire team.

But having said that, it was clear that no one had any idea how to find the attacker.

The attacker's attacks had no pattern at all. The only information known was that all the members of the organization who died in the attacks were, without exception, Stand users.

"Judging from this alone, we might become the target of their attack."

Fugo, a member of Team Bucciarati, spoke up.

"That would be great if that were the case. If they dare to come, I'll use Aerosmith to take them out. Then Bucciarati can become a cadre directly."

Narancia replied nonchalantly.

"Don't underestimate the enemy. They can easily kill several Stand Users and escape unscathed. Such strength is no easy opponent. We still don't know the true nature of their Stands, so all members must remain vigilant."

"For the next period of time, we should not act separately. Even if necessary, all members must act in groups of at least two."

Bucciarati knocked on the table and gave a serious reminder. Seeing this, the other members of the team nodded seriously.

"Speaking of which, can we go to the scene of the attack and use Apache's body double to recreate the scene and find the true identity of the attacker?"

Mista, who was eating cake, suddenly put down his fork and started talking, while Abbaki beside him nodded.

"If I could go to the scene of the attack, I could recreate what happened at the time with the help of my double, Melancholy Blues."

Melancholic Blues is a rare intelligence stand, and his intelligence ability is very strong. He can replay past events as if they were a video. With the existence of Abbazia, the Bucciarati team is obviously more advantageous than other members of the organization.

At least after reconstructing the scene, not to mention confirming the attacker's stand abilities, it should be possible to just confirm the attacker's appearance and number of people, right?

They acted immediately. Bucciarati, the team leader, and five other team members, including Fugo, Narancia, Mista, and Abbazia, went to the prison where Polpo was attacked.

On the one hand, this is where the attackers first appeared. On the other hand, among the Stand users who were attacked and killed in the past two days, Polpo's death scene was closest to them.

"Apache, let's get started."

In prison, Bucciarati nodded to Abbacchio, who then summoned his stand-in, Melancholy Blues, and adjusted the video time to the day when Polpo was attacked.

Melancholy Blues changed into Polpo's appearance and began to repeat everything Polpo had experienced that day.

He feasted in the prison and informed the newcomers who came for the test about the content of the test.
