Chapter 340: Farewell (End)
A week later.
The town of Tho is enjoying another beautiful sunset.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell quietly in the west, and the clear blue sky was quietly dyed with blood-red gold.
A warm wind was blowing in the calm town, and near the Orient's house, a car was about to drive into the distance.
Sitting in the car were Li Qing, Gioruno, Apaki, Polunarev, and the younger brother Hongcun Shizhao, who was adopted.
The story of Duwangcho has long since ended.
After a week of relaxation, it's time for them to leave.
"Li Qing."
Jotaro stood on the side of the road and said goodbye to them:
"Go all the way."
He has always been taciturn, habitually calm that invincible face, and said the most concise polite words.
If it weren't for the sincere emotions under Jotaro's flat voice, Li Qing would probably think that his sentence "go all the way" was a bad execution line.
"Haha..."
"Actually, it doesn't have to be like life and death."
Li Qing smiled and said to Jotaro:
"If nothing else, I'll go to the United States in two months."
"When the time comes, Giorno and I will go to your house as guests, and by the way, take a look at the cute girl named Xu Lun in your house."
Jotaro's wife is a native of the United States, and he has been living in the United States since he got married.
And Li Qing is planning to help Giorno launder the Passion organization ashore, that is, change careers to earn legal money.
If he wants to make money, make a lot of money that can support an organization, he must use his advanced vision as a "reborn" to cut a few capitalist leeks in the country full of opportunities.
"Maybe we'll see each other more often in the future."
"We are going to invest in the United States, and we must be taken care of by the SPW consortium."
Li Qing said very frankly that he wanted to hug his thighs and beg to fly.
"Hmm."
Jotaro nodded slightly.
He never cared about business, but was happy to be able to hang out with his old friends in the future.
It may be that as he gets older, the invincible Jotaro is also faintly beginning to be touched by the departure of his friend.
"Polunarev."
Jotaro turned his head to look at his old friend, who was also sitting in the car:
"Aren't you really going to come with me to the United States?"
"I'm not going."
Polunarev touched his scarred cheek:
"The country is too far away, so let's bring benefits."
"It's closer to my hometown."
Diablo is dead, and his battle is over.
The long-suffering veteran had no intention of fighting endlessly.
He wants to find a place to settle down, maybe to get married and have children like Jotaro, and give himself a long-lost family.
Therefore, Polunarev simply accepted Giorno's invitation and agreed to go to Italy to work for the Passion organization.
"Okay."
Jotaro doesn't bother too much anymore, he respects his friend's choice.
Polunarev, on the other hand, looked around the car and asked curiously:
"What about Zhansuke and Yitai, why didn't they come?"
"Zhanzhu and Yitai have left in a hurry."
"Their friend named Yasuichi Hirose seems to be in some trouble."
After the final battle was over, Zhan Zhu used the power of the Crazy Diamond to repair the arrow that was "bursting" by Li Qing.
The arrow is still in the custody of the Oriental House, waiting for someone from the SPW consortium to come and take over.
However, when a good friend named Kangyi came to Dongfang's house as a guest, he was inadvertently cut by an arrow and his finger was cut inadvertently, thus awakening the stand-in.
Later, Duwang Town, which had calmed down, became faintly uncalm again.
But that's another story, the story of Tosuke and Tsuocho.
"It seems that this incident is just a high school student's love conflict..."
"Zhanzhu and Yitai will take care of it."
Jotaro said with reassurance:
"Polunarev, you can leave with confidence."
"Hmm." Polunarev nodded.
The car's engine also starts at this moment, ready to go.
At this time, a sneaky figure flashed on the side of the road.
He wore a casual outfit of a short-sleeved shirt and jeans, and the cowboy hat on his head was deliberately pressed low to carefully hide his silver hair and half of his cheeks.
But Polunarev could still recognize this old comrade-in-arms at a glance:
"Old man Joseph!"
"I thought you weren't coming!"
"Shhh
Joseph looked nervous and motioned to Polunarev to lower his voice:
"Don't shout so loudly, you'll let your friends hear it."
As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at the Dongfang family not far from him, where his son grew up:
"He said he wouldn't let me near his house."
"I can't let his mother know I'm back."
Joseph said with some helplessness and guilt.
That's right, he is the father of the fighter, Jotaro's grandfather, Polunarev's old comrade-in-arms, Joseph Joestar.
He had arrived in Duwang Town four days earlier, and had been busy mending his relationship with his own son, whom he had never met.
Speaking of which, when Polunarev first saw this old friend four days ago, he wasn't as energetic as he is now.
No way, Joseph is 79 years old this year.
His physical and mental strength inevitably declined drastically as the years passed.
In Jotaro's words, the old man's muscles have completely atrophied, he needs to rely on crutches when walking, he had gallstone removal surgery two years ago, he has cataracts in both eyes, his mouth is full of dentures, he sighs and says that he can't eat T-bone steak, and his head is also starting to dementia.
Therefore, when Mr. Joseph, who has countless legends, came to Duwang Town, everyone saw an old man on crutches who did not speak very well.
Although birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, Polunarev still can't help but feel sad about the aging of heroes.
But the sadness didn't last long.
Because Li Qing stood up in time with the miracle doctor Qiao Lunuo:
Gallstones?
Cut, change!
Cataracts in both eyes?
Dig it up, change it!
A mouth full of dentures, can't eat a T-bone steak?
There is a universal golden experience to ensure that patients have no problem shooting toothpaste advertisements.
changed the place where there was a problem, and Giorno also stared at Joseph's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, shoulders, back, arms, feet, which had aged seriously...
Except that the brain can't be replaced, it can be changed anywhere.
If it weren't for the fact that the elderly should look like an old man, Giorno could even replace it with a 20-year-old version of the young Joseph.
In this way, in the familiar sound of "Mu Da Mu Da", which made people feel complicated, Joseph was completely reborn.
He looks the same way he looked more than a decade ago.
The pain of his whole body was swept away, and he completely turned back into that muscular old man with infinite energy.
Probably because his body was getting younger again, Joseph's aging brain was gradually regaining its sobriety.
He has been able to maintain his mental clarity and will no longer have the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease from time to time as before.
"This time I'm here to say goodbye to Li Qing and Giorno."
"And thank you to them for curing me."
"I'll have to give them a gift, too."
Joseph walked to the car with a smile on his face and looked at Li Qing and Giorno with a gentle expression.
Giorno politely returned the smile, and that natural gentlemanly demeanor made him completely unmoved by Joseph's gift.
But Li Qing's ears were pricked up, and his eyes widened in anticipation:
"Gifts?"
"Do you agree with the business plan I mentioned?"
He has nothing to fight in the past few days, so he simply completed the action game simulation -
If he can't find a bad guy to beat him in the future, he may really have to change his career to become a business tycoon.
In this way, Li Qing pulled Joseph, a New York real estate tycoon, to talk about business dreams and project investment, and just a PPT can suffocate people's dreams:
"Believe me, Mr. Joseph."
"Let's join forces to lay out smartphones in advance from now on, and then you will be the 'Joe Helper' in the mobile phone industry."
"Let's wait until you come to the United States to discuss that matter slowly."
Joseph was also apparently not very interested in the business side of things.
Like Li Qing, he doesn't love money at all, and making money is just a matter of incidentality:
"The gift I'm going to give you is something else."
"Li Qing, I heard that you are not actually a stand-in messenger, but a qigong master from the Dragon Kingdom?"
Joseph said suddenly, playfully.
"Uh... Sort of. ”
Li Qing didn't know how to explain the source of his ability, so he simply didn't explain it.
He said that it was Qigong that was strange, and those who knew it didn't bother to debunk it.
But Joseph unceremoniously exposed Li Qing's lies:
"Hahaha, you're not a Dragon Country Qigong at all."
"Because... It wasn't good to say before, but now..."
As he spoke, Joseph's face flashed with the emotion of recollection:
"There should be no one who knows the Dragon Kingdom Qigong better than me."
"Huh?"
Li Qing wanted to laugh a little when he said this:
Although he is a fake qigong master...
But a New York real estate tycoon from a British aristocracy, why doesn't anyone know Dragon Kingdom Qigong better than you?
"Mr. Joseph..."
"Do you all like to talk like that in New York real estate?"
Li Qing replied a little helplessly.
But Joseph didn't say much, just stretched out his hand calmly:
"Ripple Walk!"
Golden light suddenly poured out from his body, and Xuan He was like the sun.
"Do you want to learn?"
"This is my ancestral ripple qigong."
"You're so physically qualified... It's a pity not to practice. ”
“.......”
"Actually, there really is?!"
Li Qinghu's body was shocked, and he bowed his head:
"Master! I want to learn ripple! ”
He jerked his head up again, and looked at Joseph with red eyes.
"Uh... What are you looking at me for? ”
Joseph was stared at all over his body.
"Didn't you say you wanted to give a gift..."Li Qing rubbed his hands excitedly: "What about the qigong cheats?" ”
"Are you from 20 years ago?"
Joseph made a joke with some helplessness:
"The cheats have been sent to your mailbox, just go back and turn on the computer."
"Hahahaha."
As he spoke, he laughed and retreated to the side of the road, waving goodbye to Li Qing and the others freely:
"If you don't understand something, you can come to the United States to find me, and we'll see you later!"
All good things come to an end.
The car that drove into the distance will eventually be gone.
However, at the last moment when Li Qing was about to set off completely, another old friend came.
It was a shore companion, and he belatedly appeared on the side of the road with the sketchbook he had with him and a thick stack of drawings in his arms.
"Great cartoonist."
"You remember I was leaving."
Li Qing naturally joked with the shore dew companion.
He also suddenly discovered that along the way, he unconsciously had so many friends who could joke.
"I suddenly remembered something before I came, so I went home and got something."
The shore dew accompanied the mouth to explain:
"It's a gift for you."
"I promised to give it to you, but I almost forgot to bring it."
As he spoke, he gently handed the stack of carefully packaged drawings in his arms to Li Qing's hand.
"This, this... Is it the original manuscript of Akira Toriyama?! ”
Li Qingru held this manuscript in his arms and thanked him from the bottom of his heart:
"Thank you, Luban."
The shore dew companion did not waste much time on this gift.
He simply took out the sketchbook in his arms, and the sketchbook was actually painted with Li Qing's animation image:
"Li Qing, your story has given me a lot of inspiration."
"I'm going to adapt the story of Mr. Jotaro and yours into a manga after the end of "Red and Black Boys"."
"Well, what are you going to call your story?"
Shore Luban generously handed over the naming rights of the work to Li Qing himself.
This is already a very rare thing for him, and as a fanatical and stubborn artist, he will never tolerate others criticizing his work.
"What's the name..."
Li Qing rubbed his chin lightly, and said with some indifference:
"My story is over."
"You're the author, so it's up to you to take the name."
"Okay."
The shore dew sighed softly, and did not dwell on it anymore.
In this way, after the final goodbye, Li Qing was finally leaving.
The car started slowly and drove along the avenue that had been worn out twice.
Jotaro and Joseph watched Li Qing go away from the roadside.
And the shore dew companion is quietly thinking in this parting:
"If I get it..."
"So, the name of this story is..."
The car is constantly driving towards the sunset on the horizon.
The dim twilight falls and the curtain falls on the stage.
Looking at such a scene, Lu Ban on the shore lifted his brush and slowly wrote on the side of Li Qing's anime portrait:
"Li Qing's Bizarre Adventure"
"End."
The brush stopped, and the tip of the brush trembled slightly.
The dew companion on the shore raised his head again and looked into the distance:
Li Qing, who was far away, poked his head out of the car window at some point, and was waving to them with a smile on his face:
"Goodbye, everyone!"
"There will be a date later!"
The twilight grew darker and darker, but the bright red sunset was so beautiful.
The sunset may not be the end, but the beginning of tomorrow.
"There will be a date later."
The shore dew companion said goodbye softly in his heart.
Then, he gripped the brush again and gently scribbled it on the sketchbook.
The cold word "end" was crossed out.
Now the picture reads:
"Li Qing's Bizarre Adventure"
“Tobecontinued...”
