Chapter 219 Diverting Attention

He still has a chance.

Just go there, go to that place...

"Morioh-cho."

In Diablo's eyes, this strange place is as sacred as Noah's Ark that saves mankind from doomsday.

The solid beam of light before his eyes, hanging from the ground into the sewer, was like a rope hanging from heaven, a rope that could lead him out of this dark hell.

Diablo subconsciously wanted to grab the rope.

The hand was stretched out, but in the end, all it caught was a ball of foul and filthy air.

Light is just light, not an arrow of miracle or a rope from heaven.

Diablo's excited heart immediately sank.

Because, just like a drowning person who grabs at straws in the hope of saving his life, after the initial moment of instinctive surprise and excitement, he immediately realized that he was still very far away from the so-called hope:

"Moriohachi..."

"That's the only place name I know."

"Where exactly is the arrow? Who is the mysterious person holding the arrow? What should I do with the arrow after I get it? I have no idea about these questions!"

Diablo frowned tightly:

All his knowledge of the team that might appear in Morioh Town came from a few unintentional words that Jotaro said on the phone yesterday when he was pretending to be Polnareff .

The information that Jotaro mentioned was just some rough information obtained from a "dead man" named Angelo: the gist of it was that a mysterious man had an arrow in his hand, and he might appear in Morioh Town recently.

I don't know the time or the people, and I only have a rough idea of the location.

"With so little intelligence, it's impossible to achieve a quick victory."

"I have to spend a lot of time and energy to find the mysterious man with the arrow in a completely unfamiliar town, whose identity even Jotaro doesn't know."

"And the most important thing is..."

"Morioh Town is that man's home ground."

Jotaro came to Rome from Morioh Town this time. He might still have some influence, spies, and helpers in Morioh Town.

And the mysterious arrow-wielder who is the key to the problem, the mysterious man he now dreams of finding, is himself the key target of investigation by Jotaro and the SPW Foundation.

Diablo's true appearance and stand abilities have been exposed, and he is worried that before his endless investigation in Morioh Town is successful, Jotaro, Lee Sin and others will discover his whereabouts and intentions first.

This is undoubtedly a huge trouble.

"In that case..."

"Then we have to find a way to keep these guys busy."

"By keeping them from looking for me and analyzing my whereabouts and intentions, I can buy more time for this hopeless investigation."

Diablo thought quietly in his heart.

He now really needs someone to help him attract firepower, but unfortunately, the Dark Emperor is now a lone commander who has lost his foundation and his subordinates.

The enemy had already seized his throne and stolen his power.

but…

"The throne...is not so easy to sit on."

Diavolo's frown gradually relaxed.

An easy, labor-saving, and very effective method quickly emerged in his mind:

"Since you want to take my place, then you should experience the feeling of being in a high position!"

※※※

Fifteen minutes later.

The Colosseum in Rome.

Polnareff was excitedly moving the warm hands and feet that Giorno had just made out of clay.

The long-disabled body was still a little slow after recovery, but the good muscles developed in his youth made up for this shortcoming to a certain extent.

Feeling this long-lost healthy body, Polnareff could hardly suppress his excitement.

While doing exaggerated "radio gymnastics" in front of everyone, he said excitedly:

"This feeling... this feeling of being able to control my body freely..."

"It's like the first breath of fresh air you take after walking out of a dirty toilet. It's so pleasant that it makes your body tremble!"

Polnareff spoke loudly and excitedly.

"Hmm..."

Looking at the broom-headed uncle in front of him who was as cheerful and active as a rabbit, Li Qing couldn't help but ask Giorno with some doubt:

"Is this really the mysterious person who contacted us online?"

“I feel like his personality is completely different…”

Like Bucciarati and others who were also ambushed by the enemy on the way, Li Qing arrived at the finish line only after everything was settled.

The battle was already over when they arrived.

Diablo had already run away without a trace, and Li Qing and the others were surprised to find that they had two more very reliable allies:

The legendary invincible man, Jotaro Kujo.

There is also Polnareff, who has recovered from his disability and is jumping around in the Colosseum.

Unlike the mysterious man who was cautious, deep-voiced and steady, the Polnareff that Li Qing saw now was unusually lively and cheerful, and very easy to deal with.

"indeed."

"After healing me, Mr. Polnareff's personality changed."

After experiencing the great war and curing several seriously injured soldiers, Giorno has seriously overdrawn his mental strength.

Giorno's face was extremely pale.

But at this moment, there was a rare smile on that bloodless face.

"Perhaps, the current Mr. Polnareff is the real him."

Giorno said with emotion and satisfaction.

As he spoke, he retracted his gratified gaze of "observing the patient" and turned to ask Li Qing in a serious tone:

"What are the results of the investigation?"

"I was busy treating Naranja just now. Has Apache's Melancholy Blues found any trace of the boss?"

"No."

When talking about this topic, Li Qing's expression immediately became serious:

"After learning that Diablo's whereabouts were unknown, Apache immediately launched an investigation."

"Unfortunately, although Jotaro provided the specific time and location... Melancholy Blues cannot restore the time when it was cut by the Crimson King. Diablo's actions during the time cut cannot be replayed."

Li Qing's tone was somewhat helpless:

"A period of time can be as short as ten seconds. Diablo may run to any place within a few hundred meters."

"And the replay of Melancholy Blues requires very precise time and location information. If we just try it one place after another like a headless fly, it will probably take more than half an hour to get any results."

"If he had the time, Diablo would have run off to who knows where."

All in all, it is almost impossible to catch up with Diablo now.

Diablo had safely escaped the scene and returned to the dark.

“This is really too bad…”

Hearing this bad news, Giorno's eyes became more solemn:

"Given how powerful and cautious that man is, if we let him escape this time, it will be difficult to catch him again in the future."

"yes."

Li Qing agreed softly without commenting.

"Aren't you worried?"

Giorno quickly noticed the excessive calmness in Li Qing's voice.

When talking about Diablo, Li Qing's expression was serious, but he did not show any worry at all.

Giorno is just the opposite.

He had only heard about Diablo's power before, but only after the official fight did he personally experience how powerful this man was.

Giorno inevitably felt worried about this enemy that could not be dealt with by conventional means.

"The trick I used once today won't work a second time."

"And Mr. Jotaro... he can't protect us forever."

Giorno reminded Li Qing seriously:

Victory now is no victory at all.

If it weren't for the divine soldiers sent down from the sky by Star Platinum and the reputation of being the Invincible Man, he would have no chance of competing with the powerful and well-prepared Diablo.

"I know."

Li Qing still had a special confidence:

"It's true that I can't defeat Diablo right now, but he's been beaten into a coward. If you don't kill me today, I won't be the same person when we meet again."

This is not because Li Qing is arrogant.

He really has the potential to crush the Crimson King head-on.

Because Li Qing has the support of the system, he can gain experience by killing people. With enough experience, he can level up. When he reaches the next level, his body functions will increase dramatically.

In just two days, Li Qing's strength level has evolved from a mortal fighter to the captain of the United States.

And this is assuming that he is principled and moral and does not kill innocent people in the "game".

"Trust me, Giorno."

"I will soon be able to defeat him head-on."

Li Qing expressed his gratitude with great confidence.

Then, he couldn't help but add in a low voice:

"If there is another fight to come."

As soon as the words fell...

The cell phone in Li Qing's arms suddenly rang.

He took out his cell phone and saw that it was a call from Thomas, the current "Technology Group Director" in the rear.

As soon as the call was connected, Thomas's extremely anxious voice came out:

"Something bad is happening, Boss!"
