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

Wait a minute... I might be able to use this ability myself. Now that Gatanothor has appeared, how can we forget his nemesis?

Thinking of this, Xia Qing's current world body revealed a playful expression. If someone else saw him like this while he was using Diablo's body, that person would probably be sent to Awei's mass grave.

"Consider this a deposit. If you can defeat that Dark Ruler, I will give you one hundred discs as a reward for your enthusiasm."

Having wandered this world for countless years, I still have a dissertation score in the hundreds.

Xia Qing casually mentioned that Pucci himself had far fewer than one hundred discs, but Xia Qing could exchange a large number of discs using source points.

DISC is essentially for passion, and passion is your own, so at most it's like transferring resources from your left hand to your right.

Bucciarati and the others were startled and looked at Xia Qing with complicated expressions.

The number of passionate Stand users didn't even reach three digits. While everyone present was still reeling from the previous news, Xia Qing suddenly glanced at Bucciarati curiously.

"Hmm... your words do seem quite suitable for that power system."

Upon hearing this, Bucciarati asked without changing his expression, "What system?"

Whether to cooperate or not is not up to me. I will report to the BOSS after I leave here. Before that, I need to pretend to be interested to ensure that the other party will let me leave.

"That's a system from the universe, a light that symbolizes hope, and I happen to have a ring from that system here."

As Xia Qing spoke, she conjured a blue ring, which instantly chose its owner the moment it was formed.

Looking at Bucciarati Xiaqing, he continued, "Next, I will use a forbidden power that will allow me to see what will happen in the future, but in return, I will sleep for half a year."

Now I will tell you what I have seen. Use the future I have learned to defeat the BOSS.

After speaking, Xia Qing closed her eyes and entered a state of "predicting the future".

"To defeat that dark ruler, the five of us need to work together."

Those five were Kamen Rider Giorno, Blue Lantern Ring Bearer Bucciarati, Super King Hirose Koichi, Dream Stylist Risotto, and... and... the Giant of Light from ancient times.

At this point, Xia Qing's voice began to become intermittent, and the condensed projection gradually blurred as if it might disappear at any moment.

Seeing this scene, everyone tensed up. After putting on an act, Xia Qing uttered what he called a premonition, but it was actually fabricated.

"There is only one way to revive the giants, and that is... to boil their bones into soup."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Qing's body began to disappear, clearly indicating that Father Pucci had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Bone broth?"

Hirose Koichi repeated Xia Qing's last few words and froze. What kind of crazy method was this, boiling pork bones into soup? Would doing something like this even work?

People make pork rib soup and bone broth every day, but the giants haven't revived. Does it have to be made by the people who enter this place?

Although he was full of doubts, Hirose Koichi thought it best to ask Mr. Jotaro if he knew anything about this.

With the priest's death, the future fate of the JOJO world was greatly changed.

A dozen minutes later, back on the yacht in Italy, Bucciarati went to the enthusiastic communication website to report the matter to Diablo.

After reporting the events to the end, Bucciarati asked with some curiosity, "Mr. Diavolo, do you know what it means to boil bones into soup?"

What surprised Bucciarati was that Xia Qing frowned and her expression turned quite ugly as he finished speaking.

“Waibiwaibi, waibibabu.”

Xia Qing uttered a string of strange words, and after realizing that Bucciarati couldn't understand them at all, Xia Qing continued:

"What you just said about boiling bones into soup is similar to what I said; it's a transliteration of a coded language, its meaning..."

At this point, Xia Qing's expression darkened further. She rubbed her head and gritted her teeth as she said, "Its literal translation is 'to turn Trish into light.'"

"There is only one way to revive the giants, and that is to make Trish... become light?"

Recalling the words the priest had spoken earlier, Bucciarati slowly repeated their true meaning.

What does it mean to "become light"?

Bucciarati's tone was somewhat puzzled, but Xia Qing responded with an equally confused look.

Xia Qing said that although she knew, she didn't know Diablo's identity.

Chapter 46: The Woman Sings, the Man Dies

"I'm not sure either, but the way the BOSS is doing things has definitely changed a bit recently."

After saying that, Xia Qing made a face as if she had accidentally let something slip and didn't want to talk about it further.

"Forget it, let's talk face to face. The internet isn't always safe."

Xia Qing casually changed the subject, and Bucciarati nodded and arranged a meeting place with Xia Qing.

It was already dusk when they finished their conversation at an upscale restaurant near the newly built villa district in Naples. Bucciarati, satisfied with the "secret information" he had obtained from Xia Qing, walked out of the private room with Xia Qing.

This meeting was only between Xia Qing and Bucciarati; no one else knew about it.

After leaving the restaurant with Xia Qing, Bucciarati looked at the empty streets and sighed, "It feels so quiet. There are no pedestrians on the street. It's so different from the old town."

"Yes, after all, this place was only recently renovated, which is why there aren't many people here this year."

Xia Qing, who was preparing to let Diablo's identity disappear, answered casually.

"But it won't be long before this place is full of pedestrians."

Bucciarati seemed to be conjuring up images of future prosperity, his tone somewhat excited.

"You seem to be in a good mood."

As they entered a narrow alleyway that was the only way out, Xia Qing succinctly captured Bucciarati's current mood.

"Of course! Most of the drug dealers have been driven out, and the enthusiastic members are working hard, so I have to keep up the good work too."

Bucciarati gave himself a pep talk, and Xia Qing said in a tone that seemed to have made a connection to something, "Yes... all our efforts in the fight against drugs have not been in vain."

And in the future, as long as we keep moving forward, the road will continue to extend.

Listening to Xia Qing's words, Bucciarati nodded with the same thought. As expected of Mr. Diavolo, who shared the same ideals as him.

As long as we keep going, the future will only get better and better.

Ok?

Just then, the sound of tires rubbing against the ground caught Bucciarati's attention, and a pure black car stopped in front of the two of them.

The car door suddenly opened, and several men holding rifles pointed their guns at Diablo.

"Steel chain fingers!"

Bucciarati roared. If it were an ordinary bullet, his steel chain fingers could easily catch it, but this bullet was imbued with Xia Qing's special power.

In reality, these vehicles and the suddenly appearing enemies are illusions constructed by the power of combination.

Aside from the fact that the bullets contain a relatively heavy amount of combined power, making them lethal, almost any other shot can dissipate them.

"This is... the power of combination!"

Bucciarati was somewhat surprised; the combination of abilities on site did not reveal any hidden system.

Therefore, unlike the perfectly concealed props like the Super Du King Blue Lantern Ring, Bucciarati immediately understood the true nature of that power.

The steel chain fingers couldn't stop a bullet traveling at that speed. Just as the bullet was about to reach him, Bucciarati saw a figure suddenly appear in front of him.

Xia Qing controlled Diavolo's body to block the bullet for Bucciarati. As for why he was able to teleport, it was naturally because of the Crimson King's time deletion.

I didn't teleport; I simply deleted the route I took to get here.

Bullets continued to pierce Xia Qing's body, and blood flowed from the wounds.

Of course, this is what Bucciarati sees from his perspective; in reality, it's all special effects, including the bleeding effect.

"Diavolo!"

A similar voice appeared in the story, and it was also the action of Diavolo, but Bucciarati's psychological fluctuations at this moment were completely different.

"What are you doing, Mr. Diablo!"

"Bucciarati said in disbelief, then without hesitation used his steel chain fingers to prepare to pull out a spatial rift."

Bucciarati has faced not only Stand users as enemies, but also ordinary people wielding weapons.

If there are too many bullets from ordinary people, it is impossible to catch them directly with a Stand. Therefore, Bucciarati developed another ability of his chain fingers.

Create space around the object in front of you so that the bullet can be fired into that space.

Xia Qing gritted her teeth and ignored Bucciarati's worries. Turning to look at the illusion she had created, Xia Qing pulled a pistol from the inside pocket of her suit and rushed toward the enemy.

"Uh ah ah!"

Xia Qing aimed at the enemy, channeling his power into the pistol, and fired a bullet.

Peng, Peng...

After being hit, one of the illusions dressed in black drove away from the scene without hesitation in a fake car.

"What? My marksmanship is actually pretty good."

Xia Qing exhaled a couple of breaths, her voice sounding somewhat weak.

“Mr. Diablo…”

Looking at the blood seeping onto the ground, Bucciarati's voice trembled slightly.

"Bucciarati, why are you making that sound?"

Xia Qing spoke in a trembling voice as she stood up from the pool of blood.

"Because...because."

Seeing that Xia Qing had clearly lost too much blood, Bucciarati seemed to want to say something, but he was interrupted by Xia Qing after only uttering two words:

"I am Diablo Tobio, the Italian anti-drug pioneer. A few bullets won't hurt me."

Seeing Xia Qing still bleeding, Bucciarati used his combined power to try to heal his injuries.

The moment the power of combination was activated, a soft female voice rang out.

"It's no use, hurry up and go, your teammates are still waiting for you..."

Bucciarati...remember that.

Just keep moving forward; as long as you don't stop, the road will keep extending!
