Infinite World: Random Characters, Start with Red Archer

"Being able to use the identity of Josuke Touhou to interact with and participate in the story's plot..."

"This is a very good entry point, but it also blocks your escape route."

Bucky sneered, able to see the doubt hidden in Han Ming's eyes.

"?"

Upon hearing this, Han Ming realized that the other party had something in mind.

(Is there anything wrong with someone impersonating the original character and interacting with the original characters?)

He pondered the pros and cons of this situation, and apart from the difficulty of explaining himself if he were exposed, he couldn't think of any downsides for the time being.

"Hey, you'll understand later."

Without any intention to explain, he simply floated there, preparing to leave.

"Don't you want to fight me?"

Han Ming's gaze lingered on the Death Note clutched in the other's hand, lost in thought.

It's strange that Bucky didn't try to finish him off, even though he was clearly injured.

Theoretically, the correct choice is to kill as many other participants as possible.

But Bucky didn't take advantage of the situation...

(If you're planning to use Death Note's abilities to take action, now is the perfect time.)

With the troublesome Akaza eliminated, there are very few people left who can be exempt from the Death Note.

If it were him, he would have eliminated all the targets he wanted on the spot to avoid any unforeseen complications.

(Even after all this, he hasn't taken action, not because he's worried about Diablo, but because he can't do it...)

(Perhaps because Death Note cannot be used.)

Assuming that possibility exists, Han Ming is also exploring the secrets behind it.

Items held by participants can be stolen from each other.

However, he wasn't entirely sure whether things that were considered "exclusive" could be appropriated.

After all, this was his first time participating in a chaotic war, and he hadn't seen any actual examples yet.

Bucky's behavior aroused suspicion...that's how those speculations came about.

Let's skip the probing.

"Let me tell you directly..."

"Unless it is an item that is originally effective in this world, the things you plunder are ultimately just inanimate objects."

Bucky glanced back at him and then said bluntly.

(Are you kidding me? I only fought you because I was feeling down.)

On the surface, he appeared confident and composed, but in his heart, he longed to be as far away from Han Ming as possible.

Buggy isn't without fighting ability, but using this character card against a skilled Josuke Higashikata would be asking for trouble.

The ability to split is easily and irreversibly suppressed by Mad Diamond.

Even if she wasn't afraid of her body being repaired and reassembled, she couldn't withstand the Mad Diamond's ability to forcefully push her split body back together.

In terms of compatibility, he does not have a significant advantage.

So there's no need to stubbornly try to arm wrestle with this newcomer.

He only pretended to be calm and composed because he couldn't lose face.

"That's so blunt...it makes you wonder if it's a deliberate attempt to drop fake information to put people at ease."

Staring at that half-face and arm, Han Ming decided to continue trying to get information out of him.

It's important to be able to get some information from someone who seems experienced, which is a rare opportunity.

As for whether it's true or false, he can only analyze it slowly.

In terms of attitude, there was no sense that Bucky had any intention of fighting.

In other words, at this stage, the other party doesn't seem to want to completely break off relations.

Considering the current situation, no new participants have been discovered, so perhaps the threat lies with Diablo...

Neither Josuke Higashi nor Buggy could do much against the Crimson King.

"Hey, you can't just try to stall me by chatting."

"Diapolo should act immediately."

"You're going to die here, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

With a confident expression, Bucky had no intention of staying any longer.

He pulled out the [Insect Arrow], and without the Requiem, Bucciarati's squad probably wouldn't be able to deal with Diablo.

Given this trajectory, even with Han Ming's assistance, the odds are likely against them.

In order to avoid being caught in the crossfire, Bucky decided to find a place to hide and watch the battle.

As for returning the "insect arrow"?

How could there possibly be such an option?

If he can hold on until he can make a comeback, he can just sell the goods and run away, which would already be considered a profit. Why bother with the card issue?

It would be great if you could get it, but you should never force it if you can't.

This is what Bucky has always done.

He doesn't necessarily seek to win; he only seeks to ensure his own invincibility.

Fighting and killing are dangerous; preserving your life is what matters.

"Tsk..."

Clutching his side, Han Ming glanced at the face that had disappeared back into the building and just pursed his lips.

If it weren't for the injury preventing him from engaging in strenuous exercise, he would have been able to...

Why would I just stand here and watch...?

"However, his feet should be nearby."

"I hope Giorno can find out."

Whether it's his Mad Diamond or Giorno's Gold Experience, as long as he grabs a part of Bucky's body, he can directly "detect" the enemy to the main body.

With the help of the Stand's power, one can accurately locate the opponent's position.

Unfortunately, Bucky is very cautious and will not easily give them such an opportunity.

"To take down Diablo, the [Insect Arrow] is necessary..."

It's unclear whether there are other participants, but just Diablo's existence alone is enough for Han Ming to consider his threat.

Akula was clearly fighting the enemy before, and now that the immortal demon is dead, Diablo naturally has fewer worries.

They might just take the initiative to solve their problem...

After all, Diablo would instantly understand Bucciarati and the others' purpose in coming here as soon as he saw Polunarev.

Even if they band together, it will be difficult for them to avoid being killed one by one when facing the Crimson King.

The combination of future predictions and time deletion is still too over-the-top.

Diaporo basically had the initiative...

Even if they can delete it in time, it doesn't mean they can handle it well every time.

Even the slightest mistake will inevitably result in a fatal punch...

"If we can't retrieve the [Insect Arrow]..."

"Then we need to think of a way to counter the Crimson King..."

His mind began to race as Han Ming racked his brains trying to figure out how to handle the situation.

Polunarev's bloodletting method isn't very reliable...

Even if it worked once, Diapollo isn't stupid enough to fall for it a second time.

(Is there really a second solution to dealing with predicting the future and erasing time, besides Requiem?)

After thinking it over, Han Ming also felt that the scene was quite hopeless.

Faced with an "invincible" Stand, it seems the only way to fight it is to use something even more "invincible".

(Or should I really call Jotaro over to help? No, I'm afraid it'll be too late.)

(Even if he were willing to come, it would take him quite a while, and Diablo could even organize a considerable number of men to intercept and kill him during that time.)

(Dragging it out for too long will actually be disadvantageous for us...)

Since magic was the only way to fight magic, Han Ming immediately thought of Jotaro, who had the ability to stop time.

The person who didn't know Polunarev's experiences was probably writing their thesis somewhere.

If he knew what his friend had been through these past few years, he'd probably be furious and want to come over and have a go at Diablo.

However, it's hard to predict exactly when he'll arrive, and his presence at that time will also be difficult to explain.

When Han Ming first met Polunarev, he also concealed the reason why he was there.

Polnareff overlooked this point for a moment because of the urgency of the situation and the constant shifts in the topic, but if he were to actually ask Jotaro about it, things would get complicated.

After all, at this point in time, the real "Josuke of the East" should still be in Morioh, there's no reason for him to be in Italy...

Unlike Rohan Kishibe, who would go everywhere to find inspiration for his manga...

"After thinking it over, it seems the only way is to take the [Insect Arrow] back from that guy."

Seeing someone waving and running towards him, Han Ming sighed.

"Hey! Are you okay? Where's that guy?!"

Rushing over, Polunarev saw Han Ming clutching his bleeding waist and quickly asked what was wrong.

"I solved it successfully."

Upon witnessing the thumbs-up gesture, Polunarev was immediately relieved.

It seems that this old friend's son is indeed an excellent Stand user.

Being able to kill a powerful vampire single-handedly is a very impressive achievement.

"How is the injury?"

"I feel like I shouldn't move around too much, otherwise I might have problems with my bones and internal organs..."

"Let's wait for Bucciarati and the others to arrive. I remember Giorno's Stand can also heal people."

A quick glance at Han Ming's sunken waist revealed a clear sign of a severe blow.

Polunarev didn't force him to move, but instead advised him.

"By the way, that guy picked up the black notebook, the one you said could be used to remotely control someone's death, but I don't think I saw it."

Thinking of something very important, Polunarev quickly scanned the surroundings but couldn't find the notebook. He had a bad feeling.

"It was stolen by another guy in the chaos..."

But after hearing Han Ming's explanation, he only felt that it was a tricky situation.

Those sinister things that can manipulate other people's actions will always make people uneasy if they are not destroyed.

"There's no need to worry for now. Although we don't know the reason, it seems he can't use it."

Recalling what Bucky had just said, Han Ming spoke in a deep voice.

He couldn't be 100% sure if the other party could use it, but judging from the situation, Bucky probably wasn't lying.

The Death Notes that were taken from Light Yagami need to be returned to wash away the binding, otherwise Akaza should have had a chance to use them on the spot, instead of running away for half a day and then forgetting about them.

As long as you don't get killed by the rules, Death Note isn't really a threat right now.

"Tch...that would be best."
