My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Chapter Thirty-Four: I Betrayed Myself

The phrase "If we could start over" was clearly an implication. Xia Qing took two steps back, coughed, and used her combined abilities to help Polnareff regain his senses.

Polnareff, having regained consciousness, seemed to want to say something, but was pulled out of the room by Jotaro Kujo the next second.

Sure enough, after such a long time apart, my friend's sexual orientation has changed.

What I saw in the hospital earlier... and just now the lyrics from the background music suddenly started playing...

Jotaro Kujo doesn't discriminate against Polnareff at all; as long as Polnareff doesn't bother him, that's fine.

Jotaro Kujo, who felt a little awkward after noticing Xia Qing's retreat, decided to take the initiative to remove the source of the awkward atmosphere.

Polnareff was unaware that he was being misunderstood, and before he could react, Jotaro Kujo pulled him out of the restaurant's VIP box.

Watching the two leave, Xia Qing closed the door of the private room and placed the suitcase on the dining table where there were no plates.

"This is?"

Bugarati looked at the briefcase Xia Qing took out and wondered what it was.

"This is a gift, as a token of appreciation for your help in settling my daughter."

The boss gave me two of these after I completed my quest, but this one in the chest isn't useful to me, so I'll give it to you as a reward.

Xia Qing spoke quickly, and Bucciarati's expression froze upon hearing her words. It seemed that the contents of the box were very precious.

"No, no, it's just a small favor, there's no need..."

Before Bucciarati could say anything more, Xia Qing said, "This box also represents an opportunity. Given your personality, you should consider Giorno from your team, right?"

"It's okay, don't worry about me too much."

Giorno immediately spoke up to stop him upon hearing this, as he didn't want his teammate to owe such a huge favor.

"Chance?"

Bucciarati's tone became even more curious at this moment, ignoring Giorno Xia Qing as he opened the silver-white alloy box.

Inside the box, a golden scale was placed in the very center. Just as Bucciarati was about to say something upon seeing the unfamiliar scale, Xia Qing interrupted him:

"This thing is called the Millennium Balance Scales. It is one of the Millennium Artifacts."

Mastering it can greatly increase one's strategic abilities, and besides that, it also has another ability: judging the opponent's morality.

After listening, Bucciarati, feeling he shouldn't accept it, casually asked out of curiosity, "No, it's far too valuable. But what is the Millennium Treasure?"

"The Millennium Artifact is a treasure that the great man found in Egypt long before the creation of the Passionate Kingdom."

There are seven Millennium Artifacts in total, each of which can provide the user with a considerable amount of combination power, and each of them also has unique and different abilities.

For example, the millennium jewelry I carry can grant me the power to foresee the future, but this kind of foreseeing the future is more geared towards combat than the kind of foreseeing the future that the high-dimensional observers you met before possessed.

"As long as I activate the power of the millennium-old jewelry, I can foresee the next few dozen seconds at any time."

Xia Qing spoke earnestly, seemingly unconcerned about revealing his ability to predict the future.

Putting aside the fact that Bucciarati is someone close to him, even if the ability to foresee the future were exposed, Xia Qing felt that it wouldn't have much of an impact on him.

My ability to foresee the future is limited to one minute. If the enemy were to feint for one minute, I would have already killed them.

"Predicting the future? That's quite an effect, but..."

To Bucciarati, the ability to foresee the future seemed like an overkill; having such an ability could probably prevent many dangers.

Before Bucciarati could finish speaking, Xia Qing interrupted him: "There's no need to refuse anymore. This is also an opportunity for you, an opportunity for the organization to completely eradicate drugs."

You should understand that even that magistrate cannot fundamentally eradicate drugs, after all, our achievements are still insufficient.

"If we can accomplish that person's plan, then the two of us can jointly petition for a drug prohibition, and I'm sure that person will agree."

Xia Qing spoke firmly, and upon hearing this, Bucciarati's initial desire to refuse wavered.

If there's anything that could move Bucciarati, it would be drug prohibition; drugs have always been something Bucciarati detests.

The connection between gangs and drugs is strong, and Bucciarati is certain he won't pass up the opportunity if drugs can be completely eradicated.

"Okay, I admit I'm tempted, so what does picking up this ancient artifact mean?"

Bucciarati said with a hint of helplessness, but in his heart he was already convinced that Xia Qing was indeed a like-minded person.

It seems his purpose in picking up that ancient artifact was to combat drugs.

"This means we will betray the organization."

Xia Qing gave an answer that put Bucciarati under immense pressure.

"What do you mean?"

Abbaki asked the question before Bucciarati could speak.

"Of course, we are not actually betraying the organization; we just need to act as if we are betraying the organization in the eyes of outsiders."

After a pause, Xia Qing explained. Hearing this, Bucciarati breathed a sigh of relief but asked with some curiosity, "Why do you do this?"

"This is a ritual. When the seven stylists who wield the divine artifacts of a thousand years gather and raise the banner of rebellion, the emperor who reigns above all stylists will fall."

The BOSS needs to complete this ritual, so he is searching for the ancient artifacts that were scattered throughout Italy due to a certain incident.

As long as you are found to be a Millennium Artifact and the holder is chosen to be loyal to the organization, the ritual will proceed without any mishaps.

Don't worry, the final fall was just a fake death. If you don't believe me, you can contact the BOSS later. I'm doing this in accordance with the BOSS's will.

Looking at Bucciarati, Xia Qing slowly explained, "I'm following my own will." After listening to him, Bucciarati nodded and said:

“I understand. If this can make drugs disappear from this land, that would be great.”

Looking at Bucciarati, whose upright demeanor was off the charts, Xia Qing silently thought to himself, "It's confirmed, Golden Wind is indeed the wind of anti-drug efforts."

"Don't worry, it's absolutely possible."

Xia Qing said to Bucciarati, who was also talking to himself. Seeing that Bucciarati, whom he had persuaded, was about to do something like "I betrayed myself," Xia Qing thought for a moment and decided to freeload a meal.

Putting everything else aside, Bucciarati and his group have a good eye for choosing restaurants.

"The BOSS's orders have finally been completed."

While Xia Qing was enjoying a free meal, the white-haired old man wiped the sweat from his brow and breathed a sigh of relief.

Placing the Millennium Eye in his hand at the final location, Belikoro deliberately leaked the coordinates of this Millennium Artifact on the enthusiastic internal cadre communication website.

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Pure and Kind Diablo

"Has everything been arranged?"

Xia Qing, who had gotten a free meal while listening to his subordinates' reports, muttered to himself.

The Millennium Scales were the first Millennium Item to be sent away. Next, each of the Millennium Items needs to find its own master in order to complete the final battle.

As for why he set up this final campaign, Xia Qing said that he seemed to be somewhat fascinated by the thrill of being both the good guy and the bad guy.

The thrill of secretly manipulating the plot, wow!

Xia Qing continued arranging for the owner of the millennium artifact, and then he suddenly heard a system notification that the number of reincarnators had decreased by one.

"Hmm... Has the setup at the Thousand-Year Eye taken effect? ​​I wonder who's missing."

The Millennium Eye, which can see through an opponent's thoughts, is not easy to obtain; the condition for obtaining it is sacrifice.

The number of people in the suicide squad I sent was insufficient to meet the requirements for the sacrifice. To leave, I had to complete the sacrifice, unless I combined power or other forces that surpassed those contained within the Millennium Artifact.

Those trapped there in the cycle of reincarnation have only two choices: kill each other or return to the main god space.

"It seems the competition within the Main God Space is fierce."

As Xia Qing picked up nail clippers and started trimming her nails, she casually remarked that she had originally thought the two reincarnators would be forced to leave, but she hadn't expected them to actually choose to kill each other.

The power contained in the millennium artifact could definitely attract those reincarnators, but Xia Qing was still a little surprised by the ruthlessness of the reincarnators in attacking their companions.

Over the next few days, the Millennium Artifact was eventually obtained by various "lucky ones." Xia Qing determined who the winners were through the connection channel he had left on the Millennium Artifact.

By chance, the thousand-year-old building blocks returned to his own hands, and the thousand-year-old jewelry was something he had kept for himself.

The Wheel of Wisdom is still in another guise, the Passionate Boss, a person whose name he didn't even assign.

The Thousand-Year Balance Scales are in Bucciarati's hands, while the Thousand-Year Staff has fallen into the hands of the assassination squad.

As for the remaining Millennium Key and Millennium Eye, they were mainly taken by that reincarnator.

After staying in her room for several days, Xia Qing looked at the millennium artifacts that had already been assigned, stretched, and left the residence.

However, he didn't notice that Vidi was looking at Xia Qing with a speechless expression not far away.

"Is Diablo really such a homebody... This is the first time he's gone out in so many days. If it weren't for the lights on at night, I would have doubted whether he was even in that house."

Vidi casually complained, only to find that Dungon, who used to complain along with him, did not reply.

Vidi gently stroked the Thousand-Year Eye strapped to his forehead, a ruthless glint appearing in his eyes.

Nostalgia? Melancholy over the passing of spring?

I have no idea how to make this myself; everything is just paving the way to becoming stronger.

Vidi closed his eyes and took a deep breath. What he needed to do next was look to tomorrow. At worst, he could resurrect that guy Dungon in the Main God Space in the future.

"Tsk, let's go see what he's thinking and what his memories are."

Instead of directly hunting Diablo, Vidi planned to interrogate him, believing that Diablo could provide him with more information about the power of combination.

Upon activating his Stand ability, Vidi instantly turned transparent. Trying to minimize the noise he was making, Vidi gradually approached Xia Qing.

……

Putting aside the fact that you can sense the ancient artifacts getting close, the most important thing is, why the hell don't you go take a shower?

Vidi Xiaqing noticed that her expression was rather unpleasant behind her. What had this reincarnator been doing lately? Why did she smell so disgusting?

Isn't this too obvious? Should I expose you or not?

Suppressing the urge to directly point out that her pretense was ineffective, Xia Qing quietly activated the epitaph.

Only a few of the millennium artifacts are actually effective; your own millennium jewelry is not among those effective and magical items.

The future flashed before Xia Qing's eyes; he had already seen through Vidi's next move.
