Chapter 84 The Battle Begins
Chapter 84 The Battle Begins
Unconscious does not mean unaware.
Diablo was fully aware of what he was doing, but he didn't know why he was doing it.
"This is an arrow, and I don't know what it does. It has undoubtedly affected my sanity. My purpose is to stick the arrow into my body, to make it pierce my body... but my mind is still functioning normally."
Diablo is in this state; he cannot resist his thirst for the Earth Arrow, or more precisely, the Red King cannot resist it.
This is an arrow that is very important to the Stand.
A map also appeared in his mind, a map recording the positions of the arrows. He didn't know the purpose of the map, nor did he know that he was about to be trapped in a vortex of madness.
Moreover, Giorno is also rushing this way. If he catches Diablo, he will almost certainly die.
"But he didn't know that!"
Chen Miaowen endured and complained outside the comic strip.
He wanted that arrow too, but it was just out of his reach.
Moreover, after a few minutes, compared to the Stand users in the JOJO world, he wasn't in such a hurry that he acted like an addict; at least he was able to think normally like Diavolo.
On the contrary, the prince and Oingo and their ilk are hopeless addicts who are determined to go to the location marked in their minds.
"I can't remind him either, but when will this feeling completely disappear?"
Perhaps only by inserting this arrow into someone's body and making the arrow their own can this feeling be relieved?
Diablo did not intend to do this, but even with his power as the Red King A, he could not do it at all.
So he tried to use his willpower to refuse the meaningless self-harm that followed.
"Huff... It's so difficult, like an irresistible temptation... And I can't even let it go?"
It's like using the strongest superglue to glue the arrow to Diavolo's hand; he can't shake it off, but he can hand it over to the Crimson King to keep it safe.
"Let's go out first."
He leaned against the wall, panting heavily, and began to climb up.
For him to return to sunny land in his healthy state, it would take at least half an hour, not even considering his current terrible condition.
"Hopefully... nothing unexpected will happen along the way."
......
Oingo rushed this way, not on foot but by tram, which shows that although his consciousness was affected, his mind was still intact and he still possessed intelligence.
Even on this tram, he bumped into Hol Hols and the prince.
They didn't speak to each other, acting like strangers. All three of them were focused on marking the target and had no idea what the other's purpose was.
Even when the prince and Holmes sat together, they remained silent throughout the journey.
Without uttering a single word, the Stand users affected by that arrow all seemed to have become aloof ninjas.
...In the distant desert city, Satan is heading this way via the same route.
It could have ignored the arrow's effects like Giorno, because it wasn't a Stand before. After being given the concept of a Stand by its master, Satan and its master had no choice but to follow the instructions and go to Diavolo's side.
...In the distance, there was also Trish in the sky. She was originally going to return to SPW, but after the Earth Arrow was invented, she gave the pilot an order to go to Egypt.
The driver was not a Stand user and wanted to ask the other party for a reason, but was suddenly coerced and had his mouth sealed with a sticky apple peel, leaving a small gap.
It means he should keep quiet and not report to the conglomerate.
Among these people, the fastest to act was not Giorno, but a local Stand user.
He is 43 years old and his name is Jie Jiwen. He is very dissatisfied with his messy name, so he asks others to call him Brother Jie. Therefore, he will be called Brother Jie in the following text.
Jie is a natural Stand user. His Stand is called Wenji Jie, and its ability only covers his nose, giving him a sense of smell far beyond that of ordinary people.
He was just passing through this pyramid complex and wanted to go to a nearby city to start his small chestnut business.
Later, the invention of the arrow caused him to overturn the chestnut stall, so he quickly came this way.
But Brother Jie is very smart, and deep down he is also afraid of death; that's the essence of his soul.
So when he noticed the mark in his mind starting to move slowly, it proved that someone else had gotten there first. He didn't rush into the pyramid, but instead set a trap near the entrance.
Brother Jie didn't know what kind of person his opponent was. He might be an ordinary person, but the trap he set was deadly enough to be devastating.
He placed a thin thread on the ground in front of the door, and on both sides of the thread, out of sight from inside the door, hung four chestnuts.
Those were bombs he had made before, tiny bombs embedded inside chestnuts.
It was a bomb he had deliberately placed in the chestnut pile to prevent his chestnuts from being stolen by thieves without his knowledge.
It's not much different from ordinary brown chestnuts, except that there's a smaller thread on its surface. If this thread is pulled, it will explode, and the explosion is enough to crush a human body.
His Stand ability is useless in the current situation, so this is the only way he can kill the others at this time.
After finishing everything, I ran away again, to a dilapidated building in the distance, and used binoculars to watch for people coming from the doorway.
He was able to resist the temptation of the arrow and complete the action, and even wait for the arrow to appear, not because he had a strong will, but because the arrow's influence on the Stand user's mind was no longer so severe.
The closer one gets to the arrow, the more one's previous consciousness gradually returns. Although the desire remains, one is able to think rationally.
They knew the most perfect and easiest way to steal that arrow.
With a clear purpose, consciousness returns to its former state, even reaching a peak of single-mindedness.
Jie is the first Stand user to reach this state.
Diablo will face countless enemies, including the invincible Giorno.
"The location is locked, and the arrows can't be discarded... It's unimaginable how the boss is supposed to survive..."
......
