If we're talking about who has more influence in all of Italy, between the president of Rome and the passionate boss, the latter is probably more effective.
During the years I lay low, the passionate organization grew even more terrifyingly large. In this place, even if I was perfectly healthy, if I dared to show my face, I would be mercilessly crushed by their passion.
Therefore, he must lie low, wait, and use these reward points to better prepare for the fight against the passion!
And—what he received was the promise of what might be the ultimate reward.
Jane Pierre Polnareff continues her adventure as a reincarnator!
He was the first to wake up and looked at his reincarnation watch, which displayed the mission for this time.
Top Secret Operation: The Black Bullet
Main mission: Defeat one Phase 2 Gastrea and three Phase 1 Gastrea. Completing the mission will unlock the extraction point. Bring the sample to the extraction point (reward: 2000 points).
Side Quest: Slay the Phase Three Gastrea (higher tiers will yield more rewards)
—This classified operation may match up with one or more other teams. Be careful!
A jet-black bullet, a Gastrea...
Polnareff frowned, not at all because it was a word he couldn't understand.
Is it some new movie? Or is it a work he doesn't know about?
In general, simply killing and evacuating shouldn't be difficult, but it seems that on the Secret difficulty, it's impossible to retreat without completing the mission.
Just as Polnareff was pondering, the other two reincarnators also woke up one after another.
One of them was a slender office worker with light blonde curly hair, a thin face, and a meticulously tailored suit. He looked serious yet ordinary.
The other was a handsome boy with a strange three-curled blonde hairstyle and a modified high school uniform with a heart-shaped cutout on the chest.
Is he a newcomer? It's unclear, but Polnareff certainly expressed his enthusiasm.
"Hello, I'm Jane Pierre Polunarev, and we're teammates on this mission!"
Polnareff greeted them warmly, while the two remained silent, pondering for a moment.
The meticulous office worker bowed slightly at a 30-degree angle to Polnareff and said softly...
"Although I don't know where this is, please take care of me from now on. My name is Yoshikage Kira."
The other boy looked up, and the way he did so elicited a strange expression from Polnareff.
Why does this boy look so much like his 'old acquaintance'?
“Hello, Mr. Polnareff, my name is…”
The boy with three donuts on his head said in a soft voice
"Gioruno Giovanna".
Chapter 13: 13. Stand User Team
"Gioruno Giovanna..."
Polnareff silently savored the name. If you only consider the name, this child could almost be considered a JoJo.
Perhaps it was just a misperception, or perhaps he was overthinking things, Polnareff suppressed this perhaps overly sensitive thought.
After all, Giorno didn't give Polnareff the feeling of being a villain.
As for Yoshikage Kira...
He didn't seem to make any difference to Polnareff, but he knew that anyone matched with him at this 'classic' difficulty level must have their own reasons.
"Let me introduce myself again. I am Jane Pierre Polnareve. My ability is 'Stand'."
As he spoke, Polnareff summoned his silver chariot, and at the same time, he immediately observed the other two.
He clearly saw a look of astonishment on their faces, and then he understood.
They are also 'Stand Users'
Of course, it's also possible that they have the ability to see his Stand.
"Judging from your appearance, are you also 'Stand Users'?"
Polnareff put away his silver chariot and asked seriously.
"This ability is called a Stand? I see..." Giorno didn't hesitate and summoned his Stand, the golden 'Gold Experience'.
“I only recently awakened this ability, Mr. Polnareff. His name is ‘Gold Experience’.”
Both sides tacitly refrained from revealing their Stand's abilities. Even as teammates, they remained strangers who had only recently met, making mutual wariness crucial.
Moreover, for Stand users, their Stand abilities are as private as a secret relationship!
Both of them revealed their stand-ins at the same time, and then looked at Yoshikage Kira at the same moment.
The ordinary office worker looked conflicted, but could only unleash his 'Killer Queen'.
“This is my Stand, ‘Killer Queen’,” Yoshikage Kira said softly.
"So they're all Stand users? It seems the main god might have intentionally paired us together."
Polnareff put away his silver chariot, put one hand on his hip, and laughed.
"In that case, let's work together sincerely, at least until this mission is completed!"
Giorno nodded slightly, while Yoshikage Kira remained silent.
For Yoshikage Kira, this game was a source of conflict.
Normally, given his personality, he wouldn't participate in such a strange game, but unfortunately, he received a condition he couldn't refuse.
That's a hand.
To be precise, it was a 'tool' that was almost indistinguishable from a human hand. Normally, such a thing would be like the airplane O to Yoshikage Kira—worthless and something he wouldn't like.
But it's too perfect.
It was almost exactly the same as the Mona Lisa's hand that he had seen when he was a child.
No, it should be said that she surpassed the image in the painting, completely the one he had fantasized about, making him swoon, the perfect lover of his dreams!
Yoshikage Kira fell in love with this hand, and the only way to get it was to play this game.
Then, here, Yoshikage Kira found a new reason why he had to keep playing.
Yoshikage Kira is a serial killer in disguise.
He likes being ordinary, likes to hide, likes to blend into the crowd, and he is extremely fascinated by the sense of security that comes from being concealed by the crowd.
However, at the same time, his humanity has a completely opposite side.
His fascination with women's hands was his reason for killing, but it was by no means his only reason.
Like a chameleon, Yoshikage Kira instinctively seeks security by hiding himself in his surroundings, but his nature also has a side that is completely contrary to his instincts.
He liked to hide, yet he also had an uncontrollable desire to expose himself. His murderous instinct was the perfect embodiment of this desire for self-expression; the more he suppressed it, the more he craved it.
Even when he was sure of his own safety, he would do things like taking a woman's severed hand to a bakery to play with it, and putting his 'girlfriend's' hand into his crotch while at work!
Because it made him happy, the sense of being on the verge of exposing his most vulnerable and dangerous side while standing in a safe place was incredibly addictive to Yoshikage Kira.
The more you pursue safety and suppress your desire to expose yourself, the more you will eventually find other ways to release it!
The essence of this behavior is the same as that of his colleagues who, due to work-related stress, go out drinking, exercising, or boxing after get off work to relieve that stress.
Fear and longing coexist—this is the contradiction in his nature. And in this game world, Yoshikage Kira found an alternative way to vent.
He didn't care whether it was a game or not.
All he knew was that here, he could ignore his desire to conceal himself and pursue the pleasure of exposing himself through murder!
So he began his game.
Nothing more
Kira Yoshikage was worried because he hadn't expected to encounter two 'kindred spirits' in this game.
After all, he was always pursuing the pleasure of killing without being exposed, and this sense of security largely came from the fact that his double would not be seen by others.
but……
Considering they are two foreigners, he shouldn't have anything to worry about.
Having calmed himself down, Yoshikage Kira composed himself and put on a facade. Just then, the protective shield of the Supreme God was removed.
They soon discovered that they were in a dilapidated city.
The tall, empty buildings here are a testament to the city's former prosperity, but now only concrete skeletons cast long, distorted shadows in the setting sun.
Broken glass, like dying eyes, hollowly reflected the leaden sky. The wind whistled through the ruins, stirring up years of dust and old posters with blurred smiling faces. The air was thick with the scent of rust, mold, and some deeper, more unsettling, pungent, putrid stench.
"Speaking of which, has any of you seen this 'Black Bullet'?" Polnareff asked, turning his head.
"I can't, I haven't watched a movie in ages, but this one sounds like an American blockbuster."
Giorno shook his head as well. Although he had seen many movies, he had never heard of this one. As for Yoshikage Kira, even if he had seen it, he wouldn't say so.
So they had no choice but to accept the situation of being completely in the dark.
"Okay, but one thing is for sure: since this is a map of classified difficulty, it must be more difficult than a regular map."
Polnareff uttered a seemingly pointless remark, his long white hair stubbornly sticking up in the strange-smelling wind, his azure eyes sharply scanning the ruins of the street below, slowly being devoured by giant vines and mutated fungi.
"Hmm, I have a feeling we might be facing a monster like the one in 'The Thing'."
Polnareff gestured wildly.
"Gastrul, just hearing that name makes it sound like you'll get infected if you touch it!"
“If it’s an infection, my Golden Experience will come in handy,” Giorno said gently, though his wary gaze never wavered as he scanned his surroundings.
The God's mission instructions were coldly imprinted in his consciousness: hunt one Phase Two Gastrea and three Phase One Gastrea. Although there was no time limit, Giorno knew that staying too long might lead to some unforeseen problems.
"Let me take charge of the reconnaissance, Golden Experience!"
He summoned his doppelganger, slamming his fist into the concrete rubble beside him. Instantly, the debris transformed into a swarm of rats and birds, scattering in all directions.
The creatures created by Gold Experience have the property of returning to the object or its owner. This is an ability that Giorno discovered, and he uses it to create these small animals to explore those enclosed buildings.
"The power to give life to objects?" Polnareff thought to himself. "It doesn't seem like an evil substitute."
Meanwhile, Yoshikage Kira, who was standing nearby, had a strange thought upon seeing this scene.
—I wonder if he could create a pair of Mona Lisa's hands for me?
Ugh, thinking about this, Yoshikage Kira felt his body react involuntarily again. In order not to appear out of line, he leaned against the wall and adjusted himself.
Suddenly, Giorno raised his head.
“I sense it.” He pointed to one of the buildings, his emerald green pupils narrowing slightly as his gaze locked onto an underground entrance half-hidden by a massive concrete block beside the intersection below.
"Two o'clock, abandoned subway entrance. Three faint but distorted life responses... and more mixed, chaotic pulses."
Giorno didn't know what it was, but such chaotic and bizarre life reactions were undoubtedly not from an ordinary creature.
"Excellent!" Polnareff's spirits lifted, and a slightly pleased smile spread across his face.
"Finally, I can stretch my muscles properly!" He twisted his neck, making a slight clicking sound, and the silver chariot behind him simultaneously raised its rapier, the tip of the sword pointing directly at the target.
It had indeed been a very, very long time since he had used his intact silver chariot and body in a real battle.
He glanced at Giorno and said...
“Gioruno, you walk on top of me, and I'll scout the way for you from below.”
"Oh, yes." Although he didn't understand why Giorno suddenly said that, he still obediently stood behind Polnareff.
Polnareff stayed close to his Stand, ensuring his field of vision was synchronized with Silver Chariot, while Yoshikage Kira, following behind, put his hands in his trench coat pockets and summoned Killer Queen to protect him.
They entered, and the abandoned subway entrance, like the rotting throat of a giant beast, spewed out a cold, damp, and foul stench.
Giorno's flashlight pierced the viscous darkness, illuminating the cracked tiled walls covered in slippery moss and suspicious slime. A twisted, deformed metal gate lay to one side, its surface congealed with massive, dried, dark brown claw marks, while the tracks were buried deep in thick silt and unidentified organic debris.
"It looks more like an alien than a thief," Polnareff said, seemingly trying to lighten the mood, as he looked at the enormous claw mark.
But no one responded to his joke, and Giorno and Kira Yoshikage were both on edge. After all, they weren't like Polnareff; they weren't 'warriors'.
“It’s just around the corner.” Giorno whispered, his voice echoing slightly in the confined space. Gold Experience hovered a step in front of him, its golden light gently dispelling a small patch of darkness, like a lighthouse in the night.
Turning a corner, the scene came into view. It was a slightly open area, possibly an old transfer hall. Several thick load-bearing columns supported the crumbling ceiling. In the center of the hall, three repulsive creatures were slowly wriggling and gnawing on a pile of unrecognizable organic remains.
"Silver Chariot!!!"
