JOJO, The Escape from Real Diavolo

Chapter 56 The Substitute Created by the Ghost Arrow

Wind blades, bombs, changes, and the newly appeared tiny beams of light produced by the light bulb's focusing ability all struck Chen Miaowen.

Even though he reacted quickly and tried to dodge, the attacks were still accurate.

Because of the barrier, he did not have any surface wounds, but the huge impact still caused him considerable internal injuries.

After he climbed another step and steadied himself, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. He touched his chest and felt the sensation of his ribs being shattered again.

"King Crimson? What's that? Sir... is that your Stand's name? How does she know?"

You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?!

It's like being completely crushed in a game. Your team gets so frustrated by the opponent that they open an account and insult you by name, calling you useless and telling you to practice more. You feel frustrated but can only endure it because they genuinely can't beat you, since your strategy has been thoroughly figured out by the opponent.

Although this isn't a game and involves life and death, the nature of it isn't much different.

Given the current situation, who would want to continue the game? Who would want to fight a battle that is so disadvantageous to them?

They've already dug up all my secrets, what's the point of fighting?

"Neither kill nor humiliate!"

So, faced with this situation, it's really not his fault that he turned around and fled in fear.

"Sir, watch out!"

He turned to run, but found the girl's figure emerging from the ceiling on the next floor above him.

She smiled, with the exact same expression she had at the banquet.

Last time it was in response to Nayewi; this time it's to kill Chen Miaowen.

"Long time no see, sir."

Her expression suddenly turned serious, her brows furrowed, and then a figure that was originally white but quickly turned red slowly appeared behind her.

At the same time, her forehead began to contort until the skin without pimples gradually twisted open and solidified into a hideous little face.

"Are you kidding me?!"

Witnessing the girl's transformation at that moment, Chen Miaowen's mind went blank, but deep within his soul, it seemed as if someone was roaring a warning.

"Quickly, kill her! Use your invincible Crimson King! Otherwise, we're doomed!"

At this moment, the Stand seemed to be even faster than the original. It activated its ability, stopping its mirror-like self from moving, and bit its fingertip to recreate the scene of its face covered in blood.

So he walked behind the other person, and after deactivating his ability, he threw a punch, but missed and only grazed the other person's skin.

Then, an unusually terrifying force suddenly struck Chen Miaowen's lower back.

It was that girl who foresaw the deleted future through the epitaph. Then, almost immediately in the deleted reality, the instant Chen Miaowen disappeared before her eyes, she activated her ability and commanded the Red King to launch a sneak attack after Chen Miaowen's attack.

However, this punch did not display the terrifying power she had imagined. It did not pierce through Chen Miaowen as expected, but instead made him cough up blood repeatedly.

"How strange! When did the prince's barrier become so powerful?"

She glanced at the prince on the fifth deck and found that he seemed to have long since stopped moving, as if he had been drowned by the seawater that had disappeared sometime ago.

"Ah, I see. I understand now. He provided you with all the natural wind, which is why your body is now invulnerable!"

She seemed to suddenly realize something, and in the next moment, she activated her ability to quickly move away from Chen Miaowen.

She now possesses all of King Crimson's abilities, and her originally blank Stand has completely become King Crimson.

The inscription on the wall that said there were thirty stand-ins was false; there was only her from beginning to end. However, none of those abilities belonged to her.

That was the ability she stole, or more accurately, copied.

A year ago, before she awakened her Stand ability, she was selling bread, but the money she earned was never enough to support herself as an orphan.

So, by chance, she came to Egypt with the nobles of Diwang and found a very special arrow there.

The arrowhead was carved with a skull, a withered skull pierced through the heart, so they called it the Ghost Arrow.

And when it was found, it was floating in mid-air inside a very hidden door at the deepest part of a pyramid, and it could even emit a unique purple light in the dim world.

At the time, there were five people in their tour group.

Then they got into an argument.

If someone is short of money, they can say in advance that they want to sell it, which will surely bring in a considerable profit, and then the money can be divided among several people.

There were also people who were not short of money who suggested that they use it for experiments. They believed that it must have some kind of strange ability to manipulate gravity, otherwise it would not be able to float in the darkness without any external force. If they could extract this ability and use it for their own purposes, then even dominating the world would no longer be a pipe dream.

So they started arguing, and they argued for almost fifteen minutes.

During this journey, they were completely unaware that the arrows in the air would suddenly disappear.

Until one person was inexplicably attacked, and inexplicably collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

They panicked and were afraid.

Of the remaining four, two of them discovered the arrow's trail: the girl and Di Wang.

When everyone else was killed by arrows, Di Wang wanted to cover the girl's escape first.

But the girl didn't think so. She believed that the chances of survival were very small, and that being so deep inside the pyramid, if outsiders noticed something was wrong and wanted to rescue them, it would probably take one or two hours.

So she wanted to accomplish two things: survive and kill.

She somehow managed to control the ghost arrow and, drawn by some force, pierced it towards King Di.

Di Wang reacted quickly, but the arrow still grazed his skin, and he instantly collapsed to the ground like a lifeless zombie.

"Phew, phew, now... now, all of Di Wang's possessions on the ship are mine!"

She did it! She was overjoyed! She survived and even gained a ship full of wealth.

But the next second, she pointed the arrow at herself.

...When she woke up again, she could see a strange white figure standing beside her, or more accurately, a completely white paper figure.

She was startled, but quickly realized that the other party meant no harm and began to analyze the situation.

"The other three are dead, but DiWang is still breathing..."

Thinking of this, her eyes turned cold and sharp, completely unlike a girl who was only ten years old.

She drew her arrow again and thrust it at King Di.

Then a miracle happened: the ghost arrow vanished the instant it pierced his body, and what changed was that King Di came back to life.

But his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul.

And the first thing he did upon opening his eyes was to kneel on one knee and swear an oath to the girl:

"Master, I am your servant. You may come at any time..."

......

Blank

It is a Stand created by the Ghost Arrow, which is neither an Insect Arrow nor a regular Arrow.

Abilities: Copying, plundering.

1. Copying: By using a certain medium to introduce the blood of a blank paper doll into the body of another Stand user, the user can obtain the secret of the other user's Stand and completely copy the other user's ability, which is then displayed through the blank Stand. Moreover, the ability can be stacked without any limit.

However, this ability requires extremely strong mental strength to control. It is best to use the ability once or twice, and then use various methods to re-condense one's mental strength.

Otherwise, if the different abilities of different Stands become too overwhelming, it will backfire on the host, causing immediate and fatal damage.

(Some abilities that require extremely strong mental power, such as the manipulation of gravity, or other rule-based abilities, will be weaker in power than the original Stand that has been copied.)

2. Plunder: This is the finalization of a blank Stand. It selects one Stand from those that have been copied before as its final Stand, and it cannot be changed again. The ability to copy will also disappear from then on.
