Uplifting Journey

In a simple hotel built near the sea in Italy, an honest-looking boy with a few freckles pushed open the wooden window, and the moist sea breeze poured in from the window, causing the boy's short crimson ponytail to flutter slightly.

After looking at the sky, the thin and slender boy turned around and walked to the bed. He opened his suitcase and took out a telephone receiver.

I don't know from which landline the receiver was torn off, and a small piece of wire fell miserably underneath.

The red-haired boy picked up the receiver with a solemn face, walked to the window with "good signal" in small steps, and then clicked and pressed the non-existent button on the smooth shell of the receiver, while simulating in a low voice The beep sound when the phone key is pressed.

For normal people, this kind of behavior is like mental illness, but the young man did it very solemnly and seriously, as if he was really making a call.

Then he really "got through".

After pursing his lips and giving a long "beep," the boy lowered his voice and said cautiously, "Boss? I'm already here."

The next moment, a majestic voice with a hint of magnetism sounded in the boy's "ears" or in his mind——

【Very good, Tobio. What about what I told you to do? 】

The boy named Tobio glanced at the materials stacked in the suitcase next to him, and having memorized the general information on the materials, he picked up the important report, and finally he concluded: ".From these feedbacks It can be seen from the information obtained that the assassination team led by Risut has completely betrayed, and all the members of the organization that have contacts with it are also unreliable.

". The industry on Polpo's side has been greatly impacted, but there is no sign of any problems with the substitute messengers of that series. Many actions are not easy for them to carry out.”

The mature man on the "telephone" smiled lightly——【Then Tobio, what do you think about the handling of this matter? 】

"Me?" The red-haired boy Tobio walked back and forth a little uneasy, "Only you, the boss, can make a decision on such an important matter! Please give the order directly!"

【Tsk tsk tsk, this is not okay Tobio, you are my most trusted arm, haven't I asked you to do many important things instead of me in the past? And there are some things that are 'meaningful' only if you do them yourself—don't let go of my trust in you, my dear Tobio! 】

Tobio scratched his hair shyly, then tentatively said to the "phone": "The enemy of the organization is the mysterious guy who always stays in the laboratory behind Risut and the others? Anyway , now we can't continue to drag on and let Risut and the others disrupt the organization's operation."

Due to the experience of its birth, the assassination team has always been under the focus of monitoring by enthusiastic organizations. This kind of monitoring based on the intensive interaction between people and things in modern society is pervasive. It is difficult for Risut and their changes to be covered up in the early stage.

In addition, the assassination team is not very proficient in "business" other than assassination. Even if many details cannot be detected, the existence and general state of them and the mysterious person behind them, Cheng Bin, are no secret to the top management of the enthusiasm organization.

"...Integrating all kinds of information, in the most likely speculation, the person behind Risut and the others has the special ability to control other humans through close contact. The mechanism of this ability is unknown, and it may even be possible. Secondary contact spread through the controlled person is quite dangerous."

Tobio thought for a while and continued: "This person should be dealt with first, but we can't rashly send people close to him, especially the bosses who are related to the core cadres of the organization and know a lot of information about the organization. Is it far from an assassin-type stand-in messenger?"

[Long distance hehe, of course there are. But Tobio, since you want to think about this, then you can’t think too narrowly—there are many ways to kill people, no matter how powerful the substitute is, the substitute messenger is just an ordinary human being That's all, it's not impossible for the organization to sacrifice a few extreme partisan pawns to 'mistakenly blow up and shoot' something. 】

Tobio was taken aback for a moment, and stammered, "This target rarely leaves the research building, right? The timing is right. That building is in the urban area, and there are lives around it."

[It depends on your decision. Tobio, I will give you some contact information. The detailed information of the corresponding personnel will be sent to your encrypted mailbox later. You can arrange the details yourself, but don’t blame me for not reminding you , the long-range substitute ability of some humanoid garbage, under certain circumstances, the attack range can even exceed the army's weapons of mass destruction, ensuring their own safety is the top priority.]

The red-haired boy with shaking hands nodded nonuo, and then he walked to the suitcase, took out the materials, pens and paper, walked to the table and sat down to record the information on the "phone" down.

When the young man with a phone in one hand and a pen in his hand buried himself in the notes, his right eye, which was staring at the paper, suddenly turned strangely. After his pupils contracted and dilated twice, as if he had an independent consciousness separated from the subject, he turned his eyes sharply. I voted for a photo clipped on the file on the side of the boy's hand.

It was a bust of a burly man with weird sky-high silver hair, which was captured by surveillance in a certain hotel.

【Polnareff's injury, did you survive? Hmph, if the silver chariot of destiny is only this level, then what does the 'dark marshal' really represent.]

The other consciousness residing in the red-haired boy's soul examined the photo for a while, then he withdrew his abnormal gaze, observed the changes in the red-haired boy's spirit, and whispered silently in his heart.

[Hurry up and grow up, remember and complete those key information, dear Tobio, this is a trial to overcome the 'past', if you fall behind, I will be very disappointed]

On the edge of the sea cliff in the outer suburbs, Cheng Bin crushed the uneven ground with his feet, and smiled at Jotaro beside him: "This is where Polnareff and Diablo fought before falling off the cliff, you should Have you been here already?"

"I just scanned around in mid-air according to the reading and writing image of Hermit Purple. Polnareff was being chased all the way, so I didn't have time to tell where he was." The palm of the purple phantom caressed the faint footprints and cracks on the ground.

After observing carefully for a while with Platinum Star’s sharp senses, Jotaro withdrew his spotless palm and stood up: “Up to now, there is not much information that can be obtained, I can only say that King Crimson has a typical It must be the characteristics of a close-up power double."

"Then there's no need to protect the scene," Cheng Bin tilted his head slightly, and a pale, strong humanoid monster emerged from his body, stopping a step away from the side, "Thank you for agreeing to this exchange so simply."

"You don't need to thank you," Jotaro turned to Cheng Bin with his blue-purple outline getting thicker and thicker, "You are a smart person who can really use your brain to think about the essence of a double. It can be summed up in a short time

"It is still necessary for us to test the basic quality and ability of your substitute, and"

Jotaro's figure was almost completely covered by the solid platinum star, and he whispered in a malicious tone with a faintly excited tone: "I'm also curious—if I blow your double's head, Will you lose the head of the current humanoid body, or will you lose the control center of all sub-body units in the entire world?"

"That's it." Cheng Bin smiled strangely, "I tested it immediately when I awakened the substitute, at least I can tell you the result of self-sabotage."

"No need." The ground and air violently twisted and shook, almost at the same time Cheng Bin heard Jotaro's whisper, Platinum Star rushed towards him without any warning, "...I will see with my own eyes ——

"Ooh!!!"
