Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Several long black sedans glided up and stopped at the alley entrance. A group of men in black suits rushed in and began to quickly deal with the thugs. Some of the leaders among them bowed to Giorno and Mista when they saw them.

"How is it?" Giorno smiled.

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Ye reached out and grabbed Giorno's outstretched hand, which represented friendliness.

…………

Inside a restaurant with a Neapolitan flair.

It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was bustling with activity. Waiters in white uniforms moved between tables with trays, and the aroma of garlic oil pasta and roasted sea bass filled the air. Paired with Nebbiolo's rich red wine, it was enough to whet one's appetite.

In a corner of this bustling shop, there is an inconspicuous round table.

Luye, Mista, and Giorno are sitting here, with classic Italian dishes in front of them: lasagna, braised veal shank, and truffle and sausage pizza.

Lu Ye and Giorno were having their meal, while Mista was eating a strawberry cake with six strawberries on top.

"How is the food here? Is it to your liking?"

"It's delicious. Do you come here often?" Lu Ye asked.

Judging from the attitude of the other gang members, Giorno and Mista's identities are not ordinary.

That makes sense, since they are Stand users, possessing abilities beyond ordinary people, and should be the type that are highly valued within the organization.

“I used to come here often, but I haven’t been coming as often lately.” Giorno cut a slice of pizza and put it in his mouth. “You just asked about another way to awaken a Stand, right? It’s a dangerous method that uses an ‘arrow’ to stimulate a person’s mental energy, thereby obtaining a Stand.”

“However, this is a dangerous method,” Giorno said. “If you are hit by an arrow and do not obtain a Stand, you will die. There is no such thing as nothing happening. It’s either going further or heading towards death.”

"Does that mean 'Arrow' exists within the gang?" Lu Ye asked. "No offense intended, just curious. It's fine if you don't answer. After all, the number of Stand users is generally small. At least... this is the first time I've encountered someone with such strange powers as me. It's hard to imagine that a gang would have a list of Stand users. Since you said that 'Arrow' can activate Stands, it makes one wonder if the gang has 'Arrow' and is creating Stand users."

“That’s a good deduction. Yes, such arrows do exist within the organization,” Giorno said. “To be precise, they used to exist.”

"In the past?" Lu Ye was taken aback.

“This arrow was once in the hands of an officer named Polpo,” Mista said at this moment. “Under the leadership of the previous organization boss, there was one condition for joining the organization, which was to pass the test of officer Polpo.”

"A trial...?"

“It’s called a trial, but in your Eastern parlance, it’s more like ‘raising a Gu,’” Giorno said. “The trial that Polpo gives people is to give them a lighter and make sure it doesn’t go out within a day, and then return it to Polpo, who is in prison.”

"What if it goes out?" Lu Ye asked.

“Then Polpo’s Stand will appear with an ‘arrow’,” Giorno said. “Those who fail the trial will be attacked by the Stand, and those who are pierced by the arrow will either die or become Stand users. The former is a punishment for those who are ‘untrustworthy’, while the latter… allows them to continue serving the organization, because ordinary people will not be aware of the Stand’s existence before becoming Stand users.”

"So your stand-in... appeared around that time?"

“No,” Giorno said, “my Stand was born that way, and it appeared when I was about fifteen years old.”

"So that arrow is currently being kept by the organization?"

“No, I killed Polpo, and that arrow was damaged as a result.” Giorno still had a smile on his face.

Chapter 709 Escort Mission

Kill Polpo?

“Not just Polpo, I’ve killed other people in the organization as well… Although we’re all in the organization, we were all strangers to each other before.”

"Do gangs allow each other to kill each other? To be honest, I'm a law-abiding citizen and have never done anything like peeping into women's restrooms, so I don't know much about you guys."

“Generally speaking, it’s not allowed, but if the organization’s boss gives the order personally, then that’s a different story.” Mista said, while playing with a strawberry on the cake with a fork.

"I see. So you received orders from the boss to kill those disobedient guys, like the cadre Polpo?"

“No, quite the opposite,” Giorno said softly. “We are the ones being hunted.”

"What?" Lu Ye asked, puzzled.

“Every organization has a leader, right? Or rather… someone like a ‘monarch.’ Within a certain scope, the monarch is absolute, and no one can disobey him.” Giorno twirled the pasta on his plate with his fork. “But do you know what happened to most monarchs in history?”

"A significant number of them didn't meet a good end, did they?" Lu Ye thought for a moment, combining his knowledge of history, and said, "After all, only a minority were able to achieve a peaceful transfer of power. In most cases, the old king was killed by the new king..."

At this point, Lu Ye paused, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Giorno.

"Wait a minute, you just said you were ordered to be hunted down by the organization's boss, but now you're sitting here in this Baroque-style restaurant eating with me. So, what do you mean..."

So, either the boss has given up on hunting down Giorno.

But more likely, Giorno killed the boss and became the leader of the gang.

Because those who can get a gang boss to order a purge are usually guilty of serious crimes, not to mention Giorno killed a high-ranking figure like Polpo. Even if he later received a pardon from the boss, he generally wouldn't be given important responsibilities again.

Lu Ye had already figured out Giorno was a formidable guy based on how the other gang members treated him, but he never expected that this guy would actually be the gang leader!

And she's so young...

“It’s just as you think.” Giorno nodded. “The previous boss is dead. I’m the one who’s running the Italian mafia now.”

"Okay, if a gang leader just wanted to 'apologize,' he wouldn't have revealed so much to me over dinner, would he?"

“No way,” Giorno smiled. “You just wanted to ask about ‘Stands,’ and I just happen to be able to answer your question… However, I do have something I want to discuss with you.”

"Find me?"

"Yes, you were searching the thugs earlier. Are you short of money?"

“It’s not that I’m short of money, it’s that I urgently need it. I need a plane ticket to Egypt and some money to support me for a while,” Lu Ye said. “And then those people just happened to come to me, that’s how it is.”

"Egypt?"

Giorno raised an eyebrow slightly after hearing Lu Ye's words, his azure eyes revealing a hint of confusion and surprise.

“I was planning to go to Egypt soon too… Well, I don’t care where you’re from or why you’re going to Egypt. I can help you with the plane tickets and money, but in return, I need you to do something for me.”

"Oh? Is there anything a gang leader can't do that he needs to ask for help from an ordinary person like me?"

“You’re not an ordinary person,” Giorno said. “Besides, your Stand ability suits my needs. Don’t worry, it’s not a dangerous mission. I just want you to deliver something to me.”

"What is it?" Lu Ye asked.

Although he wasn't interested in it, the shortest route from Naples to Egypt was across the Atlantic Ocean, which wouldn't take long by plane.

If the route isn't too convoluted, it can be done in a few days. He'll consider the reward depending on its amount, but I imagine that a gangster boss wouldn't be stingy with his money.

Although they couldn't get the "arrow" from here, the gang's money was still money, and Lu Ye needed it.

According to past practice, the shop should automatically refresh once when you arrive in the new world, but this time is different. It's already noon and the shop hasn't changed at all. Xiaobai has only left a sentence that is hard to understand: "Use fate".

Lu Ye now has a certain ability to protect himself. It's not that he's completely helpless without the store, but there's still too little information. Egypt has a total area of ​​over one million square kilometers. If they can't find a way to further narrow down the location of the fragment, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

To maintain search efficiency, funds are needed; otherwise, if one works to earn money while searching for fragments, Lu Ye feels like he's experiencing work while working, which is pure drudgery.

"Don't worry, it's not a contraband item, but it won't pass through security."

"Ok?"

It's not a prohibited item, but it still can't pass through security?

“That’s why I said your ability to transport items is quite good,” Giorno smiled. “It’s 2011 already. Even gangsters have to follow the rules. More importantly, it won’t attract attention. If you agree, I can show you what I’m going to transport. How about it? Take a look first, and you can back out later.”

As he spoke, Giorno pulled a small black briefcase from under his body.

The suitcase is only about six inches long, about the size of two palms. What can you put in such a small suitcase?

Priceless jewels?

Or is it some kind of ulterior motive?

"I'm afraid that once I see it, I won't have a choice but to accept it."

Despite saying this, Lu Ye pressed the latch on the suitcase and opened it.

Because the moment Giorno took out his briefcase, a line of blue figures appeared in front of Lu Ye's eyes.

Side Quest: Now Available

[Mission Description: Help Giorno Giovanna deliver goods]

[Mission Reward: The Power to Change Your Fate]

[Bonus Bonus 1: Stand]

[Bonus Reward 2: Unlock the Shop]

[Bonus Reward 3: Obtain a clue to the Protoss Shard]

It's fair to say that even if the box contained a hydrogen bomb, Lu Ye would have no choice but to send it.

This escort mission... it's safe to say that even if Giorno wanted to back out now, Lu Ye wouldn't give him the chance.

With a soft click, the box was opened.

When Lu Ye saw what was inside, he was stunned.

It cannot be called an "object"; it is more accurate to call it a "living thing."

It seems Giorno was right.

After all, turtles are definitely not something you can bring on a plane with you in your carry-on baggage.

What's more, it's a turtle with a red gem on its shell.

“Giorono… This is your choice, so I’ll remain silent. But as a friend, I still have to ask: Are you really going to give the ‘thing’ to someone you’ve only just met?”

Chapter 710 Heading to Florida

Besides the turtle, there was also an envelope in the suitcase, placed in a compartment of the grid.

“This is the first time I’ve ever seen such a peculiar turtle,” Lu Ye said. “How was such a large red gem set in there?”

"So, are you willing to accept this?" Giorno said. "From Naples to the destination, if it's a direct flight, it will only take about eleven hours at the shortest."

“But you haven’t told us your destination yet,” Lu Ye said.

“United States, Florida,” Giorno said. “That’s where you’re going. There’s an envelope in the mesh compartment on the side of the suitcase with directions to where you’re sending the package. But remember, only open it after you get to Florida, understand?”

"Okay, but why should I do this kind of thing? Of course, I don't mean to refuse, it's just out of curiosity."

As Lu Ye spoke, he kept glancing at the tortoise.

Because he always felt that the tortoise was scrutinizing him with a "judging" gaze, and never took its eyes off him for a moment.

To avoid being stared at by a turtle, Lu Ye closed the suitcase.
