Chapter 52: Times Have Changed...... Huh? It hasn't changed yet (ask for follow-up)
"What's going on? Polunarev? β
Seeing that Bobo was acting a little abnormal, Jotaro and Joseph and others also chased after him, and looked at Porunarev staring at the pedestrians on the street with a nervous face.
"That guy, that stand-in has something to do with the mirror, and the stand-in messenger who killed my sister has appeared! He's around here! β
"I, I'm going to kill him with my own hands! From now on, Mr. Joseph, let's go our separate ways, this is my war alone. β
"What? What are you talking about, Polunarev, have you forgotten what happened before? As soon as you are alone, a stand-in messenger will come to you, which is too dangerous. β
Joseph and the others were surprised when they heard this, but they didn't expect Polunarev to want to fight the guy with deformed hands by himself.
While Polunarev's vengeance is understandable, it's too risky.
"But ......"
"Forget the old man, let him go."
Joseph wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Jotaro.
"Your stand-in has a sense of autonomy and can also be a good helper, if there are so many of us acting together, the goal will be too big, and it will not be easy to lure that guy out."
"That's it, you don't have to make a move, I'll naturally deal with that guy."
Porunarev followed Jotaro's words, flung his backpack over his shoulder, and walked into the crowd.
"Alright, old man, use your stand-in to write down where Polunarev is now, and we'll follow from a distance."
Seeing Polunarev walking away, Jotaro said to Joseph with a solemn face.
"What? Didn't you just say ......"
"Seeing that you look worried, you probably don't want him to act on his own, right? However, in that case just now, it was useless to simply persuade him. β
Only then did Joseph realize that Jotaro had just used the technique of wanting to capture him, letting Polunarev leave first, and then he and others would secretly follow behind to protect his safety.
"I see...... yes, the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life was agreeing to let my partner go it alone......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After some searching, Polunarev really inquired about the man who "had two right hands", but it was not so much an inquiry as they came directly to the door.
When Polunarev inquired about the passers-by, the passer-by happened to see a person with such characteristics passing by, but when Polunarev looked in that direction, he did not see the target.
Instead, a guy dressed as a western cowboy stood in the middle of the road, blocking Polunarev's way.
"It was obviously two people just now, why did one of them suddenly disappear?"
"It's very likely that it's hidden through his stand-in ability, after all, his stand-in ability is related to mirrors. and ......"
The little white dragon said to Polunarev in his consciousness.
"The stand-in in the mirror, the round thing he was holding, I always felt a little familiar."
"Oh? Is it the person or the magic weapon of your world? Do you know the specific origin? β
Polunarev was refreshed when he heard this, the few stand-in messengers he had met before were all traditional versions, and now he actually met a stand-in that was combined with Journey to the West.
Based on their previous experience, the combined version of the double is a little stronger than the traditional double.
"It's just vaguely familiar, but I can't remember it for a while."
"It's okay, when he uses more tricks in battle, you should be able to recognize it."
And the guy who blocked Bobo's path didn't know about the encrypted call between the two of them, and stood there posing.
"A gun is stronger than a sword, that's a famous saying."
"Huh? Who are you? β
Polunarev's eyes widened, not knowing what this guy was doing when he suddenly came out and said such a sentence.
"Hmph, Hall Howth, that's my name, the stand-in messenger with the 'Emperor' card."
Hall Hauss lowered the brim of his hat and took a puff on the thin cigarette in his hand, looking mysterious.
"Oh, it turned out to be the little old emperor, don't care about anything else, do you know a guy who has both hands and is right-handed? I'm looking for him. β
However, this strategy of pretending to be mysterious is of no use to Bobo, who is now oblivious to what is going on outside the window, and is only looking for the hanged man. Emperor? It's really unfamiliar.
ββ¦β¦ Hmph, I came with him, and that guy is around right now. β
"What? Who is it? Who is that guy? Where is it?! β
"Hey, you respect me a little, if you continue like this, you will die in my hands."
Seeing that Polunarev didn't take himself seriously at all, Holl Hoth even turned to identify the hanged man's stand-in in the crowd, the corners of his mouth twitched violently, and he began to attract his attention with words.
"Huh? Just you? Arrogant guys like you are always used to saying things like this, but in the end, the stand-in messengers in front of you are also role models - hey, auntie, have you ever seen a guy with two right hands? β
Polunarev still didn't care, making it a little difficult for Hall Hoth to hold on again.
"You guy...... Hmph, before I fight, let me tell you about my stand-in ability. I don't know where someone once said that seven steps away, the gun is fast. β
With a cigarette in his mouth and his right hand in the shape of a pistol, Holl Hauss finally caught Polunarev's attention this time.
"And then? There should be a next sentence in this sentence, right? β
"Hmph, the next sentence of this sentence is, within seven steps, the gun is accurate and fast!!"
Hall Hause suddenly pointed his hand in front of him, and a strangely shaped firearm in his hand, much larger than a normal pistol, appeared in his hand, aiming at Bobo.
"Sir, times have changed!"
With a bang, the bullet came out of the chamber and flew towards Polunarev. And although Polunarev despised his opponent in words, he did not let his guard down tactically.
His stand-in, the little white dragon, was already waiting with a sword, and at this moment, a sword stabbed out, fast and ruthless, and was able to split the bullet in half.
However, just as the tip of the sword was about to hit the bullet, the bullet, which was flying slightly slower than an ordinary bullet, suddenly made a temporary turn, bypassed the little white dragon's sword, and continued to fly towards Porunarev.
"What?! Gun fighting?! β
I don't remember when, Polunarev had heard of a technique that could shake the wrist at the moment the bullet was discharged, thus giving the gun a horizontal force and making the bullet turn.
However, this bridge seems to have been brushed up in an inferior short video web drama, does reality really exist?
"Hahaha Porunarev, you didn't expect that my bullet was also part of the stand-in, right? I can manipulate the bullet to make it bend! β
"You're too underestimated Polunarev, it's going to kill you!!"
"Abominable ......"
There was no way to avoid it, and after the bullet re-turned, Polunarev didn't even have time to dodge, and the bullet pierced his head, leaving a swarthy hole.
"Hahahaha!! Polunarev, that's why you died, you ...... Why didn't you die? β
When Holl Fox saw the bullet hit, he smiled like a crooked-mouthed dragon king, but he couldn't laugh when he saw that Polunarev didn't fall down despite the extra hole in his head, and even had his stand-in stand beside him again.
Haven't you heard of Polunarev's stand-in ability to be immortal?
"Hmph, fortunately, I had the foresight to let my stand-in use illusion when I saw that your stand-in was a pistol."
Polunarev snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and swung his head at it, and there were ripples like a ripple of water that had been cut open.
The ripples cleared, and it became clear to Hall Hoss that the hole made by his bullet was not in Polunarev's forehead at all, but through his brush-like hair, and a hole was punched.
Polunarev used illusion to disguise his height by a few centimeters.
"Do you still have a face? It's already grown so tall, and you still use this method to increase your height?! Do you have to write a 188 in parentheses after your short video account?! β
Where has Hall Hass seen this kind of trick, and immediately turned into a spit expert and complained.
"With the hairstyle, I'm actually 193 centimeters, and I'm two centimeters taller than JOJO and Mr. Joseph......"
Polunarev wiped his hair with his hand, unheard of Holl Hoss's complaints.
"However, this is also a trap I set for your stand-in! Anyone who plays with guns will not get rid of the attraction of a 'headshot kill'! β
"So, I bet you'd hit me on the forehead, and now it seems that I was right!"
"Damn, I didn't expect you to use this method......" Hall Fox took a sip before turning into a confident smile.
"However, where a firearm is stronger than a sword, in addition to its lethality, there is also a range and rate of fire, and next, I will fire four bullets in a row, each hitting four positions on your body."
HΓΆrth moved his pistol and aimed it at different locations on Polunarev's body.
"The first bullet, the white bullet goes in, the red bullet comes out, and I hit you in the heart."
"The second bullet, the white bullet goes in, the green bullet comes out, I will beat you bitterly."
"The third bullet, the white bullet goes in, or the white bullet comes out. I'll hit you in the head. β
"The fourth bullet, the white bullet goes in, the yellow bullet comes out, I'll hit you ...... skin"
"What a mess, take my sword first!!"
Polunarev didn't have time to listen to Hall Hoss studying human pigments there, and he was the first to strike, ready to give the kid a knife.
This kid is really annoyed, and maybe he can find the hanged man after defeating him, and the other thing, this guy just talked about the yellow bullet that reminded Polunarev that he hadn't made it to the bathroom yet.
When people are holding back, they are often able to burst out with great potential, no matter what they are holding.
"Do you think I'm going to be caught? Pick up!! β
Of course, in the face of the menacing Polunarev, Hor Hoth would not stand there stupidly waiting for death, he immediately moved, fired two shots in succession, and at the same time ran towards the side alley.
The two bullets slashed through the air in an arc that did not fit the path of the bullets at all, and struck at Porunarev, forcing Bobo to turn back and defend, allowing the little white dragon to wave the sword in his hand and block the two bullets out.
"I didn't expect it to be so difficult with just two bullets, and being able to command bullets freely is really a convenient ability......"
Since the bullet is also a part of the stand-in, then of course this bullet is also manipulated by Holl Hoss's consciousness, after all, it is not like a certain stand-in messenger a few years later, who can have a few villains to help carry the bullet to fly.
There are good and bad ways to control this direct manipulation, the good thing is that the control is more flexible, and the bad point is that you need to be distracted to control the bullet, like having two more separate legs.
If you don't concentrate on manipulating, it is possible that the bullet will hit itself on its own.
Polunarev also understands this weakness of the Holl Hoth double, so all he has to do is entangle the two bullets to distract him.
In the process, seize the moment and defeat Hor Hoss, who is distracted by the bullets.
"Chance!"
Polunarev seized an opportunity, and Holl Hoth had already run into the alley, but not far, probably because his stand-in had limited range.
Under the interference of Xiao Bailong's swordsmanship, at this time, the two bullets flew to the corner of the alley, as long as he used the sword to interfere again, he could make those two bullets hit the wall, thus losing his attack power.
With a single sword, he can stab out and defeat Hal Hoth hiding around the corner.
"Humβ"
The long sword in Xiaolong's hand trembled, and he successfully lured the two bullets into the wall, then turned around and stabbed forward.
The tip of the sword was less than a foot away from Hor Hoth's throat.
"Danger! Polunarev!! β
A somewhat familiar voice sounded, and Polunarev felt as if he had been wounded by some pig of several hundred pounds, and flew directly to the side, and the little white dragon was disturbed by this accident, and did not stab Hor Hoss.
"What's going on...... Abdel? How did you end up here? β
"There's no time to explain, Holy Child! Use your flame to evaporate all the remaining water around! β
Ignoring Polunaref's questioning, Abdel instructed the Red Boy to release flames to evaporate the puddles of water around them.
At this time, Polunarev realized that due to the rain that had just fallen, the ground in the poor conditions of the three countries was already full of puddles of water of all sizes, reflecting the clear sky.
And in the reflection of the puddle closest to him, in addition to the figure of Polunarev, there was also a guy covered in bandages and a dagger in his hand.
When the flames erupted from the red boy evaporated the small puddle, the figure turned into a white light and quickly disappeared into the glass of the shop next to it.
Polunarev suddenly understood, and when he just wanted to solve Hor Hoss, this "hanging man" hidden in the reflection of the puddle was also preparing to solve himself. If Abdel hadn't appeared in the sky, he might have been killed by this guy.
But the good thing is that this guy who has been hiding his whereabouts and seeing people in the dark has finally revealed his figure!
