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

"You're spying on me!??"

Upon hearing the voice, Xia Qing calmly explained, "We, the Nine Heads... no, we, S.H.I.E.L.D., monitor all dangerous targets, and you are among them."

After all, your identity is extraordinary—a descendant of the Super Duwang, your S.H.I.E.L.D. codename is Kong Yiji. To be honest, if it weren't for S.H.I.E.L.D., you probably wouldn't be living such a smooth life.”

Xia Qing said with a smile, but upon hearing this, Hirose Koichi frowned and questioned, "What do you mean?"

"There are many supernatural forces in this world besides Stand users. If it weren't for our S.H.I.E.L.D. speaking up, you would probably have been kidnapped countless times by now."

The bloodline of the Super Duking is a valuable asset. Apart from the incident with Yoshikage Kira, which I didn't anticipate, almost every danger you've encountered has been resolved by S.H.I.E.L.D.

For example, you might have encountered a woman who was eight feet tall and lusted after you when you were a child, or you might have encountered a man who wanted to give you an assassin's potion and always wore a monocle.

Your life has undoubtedly been filled with countless hardships and setbacks, but thanks to the efforts of S.H.I.E.L.D., you now live a peaceful and stable life, the life Kira Yoshikage has always dreamed of.

……

Hirose Koichi was a little confused. Had he ever encountered so much danger? Could the eight-foot-tall woman be the one from the ghost stories? But who was the man with the monocle?

"So what's your purpose in telling me all this?"

Suppressing his doubts, Hirose Koichi asked curiously.

"I need you to help us get rid of the passionate BOSS, that man who's hidden himself too perfectly."

I've been lurking in the Passionate community for several years, but I've had very little interaction with the boss.

Xia Qing seemed to have thought of something, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Huh? I definitely won't do it. I'm just an ordinary student. You should go find some more powerful Stand users."

Hirose Yasuhiro immediately refused upon hearing of such a heavy responsibility. The dark side of this world was too terrifying; how could he possibly be a match for the passionate BOSS?

"Don't worry, trust me, you can do it."

"You possess the bloodline inherited from the Super Saiyans, and the power of the Super Saiyan King. With this power added to our ranks, our chances of winning will increase significantly."

Xia Qing looked at Hirose Koichi with sincere eyes, as if Hirose Koichi was one of the members he had to win over.

"Us? So you mean you invited other people besides me? How capable are they?"

Hirose Koichi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that he wouldn't be fighting alone. He wouldn't mind helping out if the passionate boss wasn't making him fight alone.

"They are all top-tier experts, and are elites from various forces. There are five of them who are currently preparing to join forces to deal with the BOSS: Risotto, Bucciarati, you, Giorno, and me."

Xia Qing was making things up in her head as she spoke, while Hirose Koichi seemed to have thought of something and asked, "I think I've heard the name Risotto before. He seems to be a passionate person too."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing shook her head and calmly said, "No, actually we are all spies."

???

Hirose Koichi felt he had many questions, while Xia Qing continued to explain:

“I am a Level 9 agent from S.H.I.E.L.D., and Risotto is a member of an organization that we don’t know much about.”

Through the messages passed on by these infiltrated spies, all we know is that the organization's members use alcohol as a cover, and Risotto's code name in that organization is Montaciello.

Bucciarati is a member of the Clock Tower, a mystical organization, in which he is one of the candidates for monarch.

Giorno comes from the Roman Catholic Church; he is both a saint and the Right Seat of God, and his code name is "The Water Behind".

Meow meow meow?

Hirose Koichi's expression shifted from surprise to complexity and then to pity. This enthusiasm was just too much. How could he encounter so many spies, and quite a few of them were high-ranking officials?

"S.H.I.E.L.D., the brewery, the clock tower, the Roman Catholic Church... Passion is just too tragic."

Hirose Koichi spoke in a complicated tone, and Xia Qing remained silent for a moment before continuing:

"Not only that, I actually have connections in several organizations, such as the Tarot Club, where everyone, including the president, is a double agent, and Hydra, whose spies are spread all over the world."

In addition, I also pledge allegiance to Faust of the Eastern Capital, the World Serpent of the Sea of ​​Quanta, and the Kingdom of Light.

...?

So you're the ultimate spy king?

How does that tarot club, full of spies, even manage to survive? Hydra, with spies all over the world, sounds terrifying, okay?

What kind of organization is Faust in the Eastern Capital? I do know that there is a famous literary work about Faust.

What kind of place is the Sea of ​​Quanta? Just hearing the name makes it sound very high-class. And what the heck is the Land of Light? Is that a country?

Hirose Koichi was internally ranting and raving, but his expression remained unchanged.

"I need to think about it. Please send me the information you already know."

Hirose Koichi took a deep breath. If what the pink-clad man on the other side of the screen said was true, then he needed to repay this favor.

After continuing his conversation with Xia Qing about the Super Duwang, Hirose Koichi prepared to retrieve the bracelet that Xia Qing had mentioned could activate the Super Duwang's power.

Is it over?

Bucciarati, who was in the lobby downstairs, greeted Hirose Koichi as he came down, and Hirose Koichi nodded with a complicated expression.

"It's over. I'll go get the bracelet that controls the Super Du King mode now."

Hirose Koichi said one sentence and then took his leave of Bucciarati, preparing to retrieve the bracelet that allowed him to control his state.

According to what the pink-haired man had told me, my current state is very special; I switch between being a super Du Wang and an ordinary person from time to time.

He needs to obtain the suppression bracelet to suppress this power, otherwise it might get out of control one day.

The suppression bracelet that Xia Qing just made up was obviously fake; in fact, everything he said was fabricated.

The original art style of this world was quite normal; the Super Du King was essentially just a special effect that Xia Qing created for Hirose Koichi.

but……

Remembering Hirose Koichi's worldview-shattering expression before, Xia Qing suddenly found doing this kind of thing quite interesting.

Xia Qing was curious to see what kind of expression Vidi would have if he knew about those things.

At this moment, Xia Qing was thinking about Vidi staring at his Millennium Artifact with a sense of despair. What was wrong with this world? Could Stand users ever recover? What were those messy abilities?

Vidi felt a chill run down his spine at the thought. So much for the essence of JOJO: Stands. Why is it that none of the high-level combatants he's encountered have Stands as their trump card?

Chapter 40: The BOSS once joined a powerful force called Araki Manor.

"This is the bracelet that can control the power of the Super Duking. In fact, our S.H.I.E.L.D. has also gained some information about the BOSS."

Based on currently available information, the passionate BOSS actually joined a faction comprised of a few individuals, essentially an alliance.

When Xia Qingwen met Hirose Koichi in real life, he said that looking at Xia Qing, who exuded the aura of a good person, Hirose Koichi was certain of one thing.

He does seem to be a spy; his demeanor is nothing like that of a gangster.

"alliance?"

Hirose Koichi was somewhat puzzled, to which Xia Qing calmly explained:

"The name of that alliance is Araki-sou. Giorno's father, Jotaro Kujo, was an enemy he faced. DIO was also a member of Araki-sou."

According to the information we have, the members of Araki Manor are all top-tier individuals in their respective fields. In addition to DIO and the Boss, the known members include an ultimate life form, an ordinary office worker, a priest, and a patriotic president.

You once encountered a member of Araki Manor, namely Yoshikage Kira, whom you defeated, because he possessed the power to rewind time and was once invited by Araki Manor.

To live a peaceful life, one needs some resources, and Araki Manor is actually a force that secretly provides support to Yoshikage Kira.

The fact that the number of victims in Morio Town has continued without attracting the attention of your higher-ups is because Araki-sou is behind it all.

The passionate boss, like the president of a certain country, possesses extremely powerful financial resources.

We have now obtained the true identity of one of the members of Araki Manor, whose code name within Araki Manor is Father, but whose real identity is Enrique Pucci, the instructor at the Green Dolphin Aquarium Prison.

Hirose Koichi nodded after listening. This organization called Araki-sou was involved in too many things. It seemed that he could ask Mr. Joestar if he had any information about Araki-sou later.

However... the name "Green Dolphin Aquarium Prison" doesn't feel quite like a normal prison name.

"To defeat the BOSS, we must find out his true identity, and Enrique Pucci, who is also a member of Araki Manor, must know it."

You won't be the only one completing this task; I'll send some men to assist you.

As Xia Qing spoke, she signed a check, her enthusiasm revealing her wealth.

Looking at the amount on the check, Hirose Koichi took a deep breath and subconsciously refused, saying, "No need, this is just to repay S.H.I.E.L.D. for their past help to me."

After hearing this, Xia Qing immediately replied, "No need to refuse. Anyway, this money isn't coming from S.H.I.E.L.D., it's from the passion team. Opportunities to take advantage of passion teams are rare, so don't miss out."

Hirose Koichi looked at Xia Qing with an expression that suggested he didn't know what to say, but Xia Qing showed no intention of letting him refuse.

Half an hour later, Xia Qing, who had returned home after talking with Hirose Koichi, summoned Li Erlid's body.

Looking at Li Erlid in front of her, Xia Qing leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and switched bodies through the system.

"Hmm... I feel that his physique is a bit weaker than Diablo's, but this body seems to be very strong if he uses the power of combination."

After muttering something to herself, Xia Qing controlled Li Erlid's body, took the belt she had created with her power of combination over the past half hour, and prepared to head to the target location.

According to the intelligence provided by the people he sent to monitor him, Giorno would arrive near his home in about ten minutes, following his current route.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Qing used her power of styling to create a fake version of herself.

The effect of the power of combination is somewhat similar to that of powers such as the power of faith and the power of fantasy; it is a kind of all-purpose power.

A few minutes later, Xia Qing, who had been lying in wait in disguise, approached Giorno, who was tired from exercising.

"you are?"

Upon realizing that the other party's target was him, Giorno became secretly wary and asked with some doubt, "Help me?"

"I'm just a Kamen Rider who's passing by."

Xia Qing, who had disguised her appearance and voice using the power of combination, casually replied. Upon hearing this, Giorno asked warily, "A passing knight? What do you want with me?"

Although he didn't know what kind of knight that guy was talking about that day, Giorno still responded with a wary tone.

"There's no need to look at me like that, like I'm an enemy. Trust me, there is no knight more loving than I am."

Xia Qing offered a defense, but Giorno didn't intend to believe it outright.

“I know your father, DIO. I’ve come here to give you something.”

Xia Qing revealed her true purpose: the world was already chaotic enough, and all the reincarnators who could return alive had already left.

"You...know my father, and what are you talking about?"
