JOJO, The Escape from Real Diavolo

Although Gold Experience Requiem is "invincible" with six panels, in this situation, if he doesn't encounter a Stand user or the other party is not in his sight, then being invincible is of little use.

"Gioruno, this road seems to be the demon's escape route."

Huang Zhen spoke, prompting his host. (Huang Zhen is a conscious Stand capable of speaking, which is why he can have a relaxed conversation with Giorno.)

"How did you arrive at that conclusion?"

"Trajectory of Spiritual Energy"

Rongrong was a little confused.

"What is that?"

"Stands are manifestations of spiritual power. Every Stand leaves behind fragments of spiritual energy after using its ability. The same is true for King Crimson. After he uses his ability, bright red fragments will appear. After he erases time, the locations where he appears twice will be exposed by these fragments... However, as time goes by, these fragments will slowly disappear."

"Now I can see that the trajectory of this demon is a series of turquoise stars."

"Judging from my guess, this ability seems to be a kind of infectious disease that spreads through eye contact. So there must be a first-come, first-served order. The faster the star spots on ordinary people who have already been infected with the virus disappear, the more fragmented they will be. The closer they are to the other person, the more concentrated the star spots on ordinary people should be. This way, we might be able to determine the other person's whereabouts and route in the vicinity."

This is something Rongrong herself doesn't know, so it seems that Huangzhen might have some hidden secrets.

"The stars near the square are almost fading away and all clustered together, but on the road in front of me, the stars on them are becoming more and more concentrated, a more concentrated kind of fading away."

"I see... Let's go then, we must deal with him first before going to find Diablo."

......

Yedan, or rather Satan, did not escape very quickly.

Because the soul residing in his body was too young, it couldn't run very fast. And the feat of jumping from the second floor of the hospital and carrying the old man on his back was just some residual power from Satan himself after he woke up.

After putting on a show, he was exhausted and left Grandpa Yefeng behind.

Once the mental suggestion is removed, he has no other abilities, so he can only rely on his young body to run.

Not only is it not fast, but the body also gets tired very easily.

"I wonder where that powerful Stand has gotten. Hopefully, they won't find me so quickly. After all, I'm already five kilometers from the plaza!"

He had to catch his breath along the way and hide in secluded houses.

"Although the dolls are quite disorganized, there's no guarantee that the other side won't be able to catch up through some means. After all, that's terrifying. It wouldn't be surprising if that Stand had any abilities, right?"

With that thought in mind, he disregarded his body, which was about to vomit blood, and prepared to continue running forward.

"Is Requiem this way?"

"Yes, in this area, the specks on the corpses seem to be more concentrated, and a little further ahead, there are no more dead infectious disease patients. Of course, he may have run quite far, after all, two or three minutes have passed."

Just as Yedan, who was a little ahead, was about to leave the housing area, he could vaguely see the donut-shaped man crouching behind him, with the mysterious, powerful, and beautiful Requiem behind him.

That's right. After he deactivated his ability, he had only run half a kilometer. He really didn't expect that the Stand user who was in the square just two minutes ago would be right in front of him now.

"What should I do? I can't leave here!"

The demon Satan dared not move, only praying that Giorno would not come from this side.

"Hmm... that's quite possible. He's already far away, and we can't even figure out his route. He might have escaped by water or he might have boarded a plane."

"But to be on the safe side, let's search from here..."

Since they couldn't determine the cause, they decided to search step by step, a strategy that completely cut off Yedan's escape route.

"They're going to start searching from here...because there are no bodies here!"

Even if he were a child, anyone would be suspicious if he could hide well in the face of such a disaster, let alone the fact that the other party is an incompetent Stand user who can find this place through some information.

He had a premonition that once he met the other party, he would die instantly, and all three of his souls would be scattered, making it impossible to fight back.

"What should we do? Should we take a gamble and get him into the dream? But how can we do that?"

No matter how hard he tried to come up with a solution, he felt like he was doomed.

......

Chen Miaowen had already run to a very far place, about ten kilometers away from the Four Corners Square, and he hadn't used his abilities even once during this journey.

"If you're not injured, you'll run fast."

He stopped to catch his breath, found a tall tower, and prepared to go up and observe the situation.

"Five minutes have passed since the blue zombies disappeared. I wonder if Satan has been brought to justice by Rongrong yet."

He could laugh, yet he couldn't, because it seemed like he was next.

"Hopefully Huang Zhen won't pinpoint my location precisely, and I haven't entered its range of capabilities."

Thump thump thump---

The heavy chimes of the clocks echoed from the Four Corners Plaza, signaling that it was midnight and the next day would begin.

"I have a bad feeling..."

......

Rumble has found Yedan, but Yedan is not moving.

"This little child seems to have been affected by that bastard; he... he's already dead."

"Yes, and some of the starlight on his body is almost gone, which seems to prove that the demon has already left. And there has been no time erasure phenomenon for so long. Diablo may no longer be here. He escaped without using his power."

"Is there absolutely no information?"

"Yes, the traces of both of their demonic fragments have completely disappeared, and Diablo's red star point never even appeared."

Huang Zhen carefully explained to Rongrong, who seemed somewhat lost.

Sicily is such a large island that even Huangzhen couldn't find any trace of the Crimson King, so basically no one else could.

"Sigh... I still can't do anything."

So he had no choice but to put his arm around the blond boy and walk back.

Go and clean up the aftermath of this disaster, and also bury the dead.

"Fugo, come here. There's not much progress over here. Diavolo is missing, and a rather tragic incident has occurred here as well."

......

Even someone as steady as Fugo found it hard to accept.

"Is it Diablo's?"

"No, it's another Stand user. This user is chasing Diavolo."

"Then this child..."

"They've stopped breathing; they were the last victim of that demon's evil deeds."

The disaster required a huge amount of manpower for cleanup, as there were so many deaths and injuries that a large number of staff were needed for burials.

This not only required money (spw's money), but also took up half a day.

"Bury this child..."

Rongrong watched as the young child was buried in the ground, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"We must find that demon... He's an enemy even more important than Diablo!"

But he never expected that the demon, which they had buried, would return after they left the Great Tomb.

"Cough cough, so this is what it feels like to be buried alive."
