A few minutes later.
The taxi that hit the roadside, the blood on the sidewalk, the **** corpse, the passers-by watching and talking, the traffic jammed
The streets became more lively.
A young man with purple hair and avant-garde clothes and a tall posture slowly walked to the taxi, and then picked up a passerby and asked:
“That”
The purple-haired young man asked in a complicated tone: “Excuse me, is there anyone dead here?”
“Does this need to be said?”
“The corpse is just there!”
Passers-by subconsciously glanced at the purple-haired young man, and then said excitedly:
“Listen to me”
“I saw everything that just happened!”
“God, I bet people who haven’t seen this will think I’m talking nonsense.”
His face was as flushed as a ripe apple, and his eyebrows were twitching with excitement:
“Although it was through the car window, I could still see clearly. The person who did it was a young guy with pink hair.”
“He grabbed the poor driver’s head as hard as he would a half-dead prairie dog.”
“Then I pressed my head and smashed it down without knowing what to hit it with”
“In just one moment, blood flowed out like a faucet.”
“The nose was crooked halfway, the eye sockets were cracked, and the eyeballs popped out, like the fruit salad made by my grandmother, with red, white, and purple all mixed together and inseparable.”
“But the madman hasn’t stopped yet”
“Half of the driver’s head was like a smashed bottle of ketchup, and he got out of the car in a panic and ran away. Yes, this madman is still running outside.”
“This is really terrible”
The passers-by spoke vividly, but the purple-haired young man who took the initiative to inquire was in no mood to listen.
He interrupted somewhat helplessly:
“Sorry, that’s not what I wanted to ask.”
“What I want to know is, has anyone died as silently as a natural death?”
“Huh?”
The passers-by were slightly startled: “How could someone suddenly die silently on the street?”
“Even if you die suddenly, you will still struggle hard, right?”
“Oh”
“I understand, thank you.”
The purple-haired young man said goodbye to the talkative passerby perfunctorily, then turned around and walked away alone.
He seemed to hear what he wanted to hear, but also seemed not to.
“No one dies quietly, that is”
“Does the target chosen by the Rolling Stones refuse to face their own destiny?”
The purple-haired young man was talking to himself as he walked, his expression becoming increasingly complicated.
And just when he was passing by an alley intersection
In the narrow and dim alley that was barely separated by two buildings, a strong, muscular arm covered with strange red and white patterns suddenly stretched out.
“Is this, is this a human hand?”
The purple-haired young man’s eyes widened in astonishment.
He had no time to react before he was easily dragged into the alley by the mysterious guy and pressed against the wall.
“Don’t look back.”
Diablo’s voice sounded coldly.
He carefully looked at the purple-haired young man whose head was almost embedded in the wall by the Crimson King, and then asked after a moment of silence:
“Are you the substitute messenger who attacked me just now?”
“That stone”
“It can only act mechanically based on instinct. Obviously, it is a ‘long-distance automatic control’ stand-in.”
“This kind of stand-in can act independently without the control of the main body. Even if it is damaged, it will not affect the stand-in user as the main body.”
“It is indeed very troublesome to find the identity of this kind of substitute, but”
Diablo snorted disdainfully:
“Because it is acting independently of the main body, the substitute envoy as the main body has no way of knowing what happened to the avatar and whether the battle was won or lost.”
“In this way, even if they are fighting, they can hide far away in the dark”
“When the battle is over, they must rush to the scene to confirm the results.”
“So”
He curled his lips slightly:
“After completely destroying your avatar, I have been hiding nearby and waiting.”
“Sure enough, you, a reckless guy, couldn’t wait any longer and came to the scene to confirm the results.”
Hearing Diavolo’s extremely oppressive explanation
The reaction of the purple-haired young man was:
“Substitute?”
“What is a substitute?”
“You?!”
Diablo’s eyes suddenly widened:
“How dare you pretend to be with me?”
“Idiot, are you underestimating my eyesight? Do you think that just by fooling me, I will believe that the stone is not your substitute?”
“Tell me quickly!”
“Who are you? Why did you attack me? Are you related to that bald man named Li Qing?!”
“Well, I understand.”
The purple-haired young man sighed deeply.
He was not in a hurry to argue for himself, but instead introduced himself in a calm tone:
“My name is Scolibee, and I am an ordinary sculptor.”
“I don’t know that bald man named Li Qing, and I have absolutely no intention of attacking you.”
“After all”
Scribe, who was pressed against the wall and unable to move, said this:
“I don’t even know who you are, and I haven’t even seen your face until now.”
“As for the stone you mentioned”
“I don’t know what the ‘substitute’ you are talking about is. If you are referring to that stone, it is some kind of special ability that I have awakened since I was a child.”
“I call them: “rollingstones””
“Rolling Stone?”
Diablo frowned tightly: “After all, this is still the substitute you released!”
“No no no”
Scolibie hurriedly denied:
“Michelangelo, who was so brilliant during the Renaissance, once said:”
“I didn’t have any ideas in my mind when I was carving the marble. I never thought about what shape I wanted to carve the stone into because the stone itself already showed the shape of how it should be carved. What I did was just carve it into shape. The shape was just taken out of the stone.”
“”
Diavolo was silent for a while, then ordered the Crimson King to strangle the opponent’s neck from behind:
“Speak humanly!”
“Cough cough”
Scolibie was pinched and coughed:
“I mean”
“I can’t order the “Rolling Stone” to act at all. It acts completely according to its own will. ”
“It is the Stone of Destiny!”
“It will sense the fate of the dying person, and will carve itself into the dying person’s ‘destiny shape’, which is the shape of his death.”
“At the same time, it will continue to track the dying person.”
“Once the dying person, that is, you, touches the “rolling stone”, the “rolling stone” will allow you to accept your own mortality in advance and die peacefully without any pain. ”
“And the reason why I am here is not to see the results of the battle.”
He pondered for a moment, with a hint of pity in his tone:
“I just sensed the movement of “Rolling Stone”, so I wanted to come over and see the poor guy who was about to die. ”
“”
Diablo fell silent again.
This time, what is brewing in the silence is endless anger:
“Asshole!”
“You reckless guy, what you just said”
“I, the invincible Diavolo, the dark emperor who controls the entire purpose, am going to die soon?!”
“That’s right.”
Scolibie’s voice was very calm:
“Since “Rolling Stone” is looking for you, it means that you will die soon. ”
“This is fate!”
“All of us are just slaves of fate.”
“You should have seen it, right?”
“When it finds you, it will carve out what you looked like when you died”
“It may be a few hours, it may be a few weeks, but the longest is a month. You will die in the way shown on the stone sculpture.”
“Nonsense!!”
Diablo roared angrily:
“Already destined?”
“A carved form of death?”
“That useless stone substitute of yours has been completely destroyed by me a long time ago!”
“It didn’t carve anything at all, I smashed it into powder and scattered in the air!”
“Where are the carvings?”
“There is no destiny!”
“this”
Hearing Diavolo’s somewhat rude roar, Scully’s expression suddenly changed:
“You, you just said”
“After the “rolling stone” found you, it didn’t carve anything out, but it was already shattered into powder? ”
“That’s right!”
Diablo said bitterly:
“If you want to disturb people’s minds, you have to make up some decent lies for me.”
“What future death will be like and what destiny is destined”
“I don’t believe it!”
Faced with Diavolo’s faintly crazy roar, Scribe’s tone actually showed a bit of pity:
“Sorry.”
“I have never seen this situation before.”
“But”
“Since “Rolling Stone” is looking for you, it means that you will definitely die in the near future. ”
“And it was completely destroyed without carving your death shape, I’m afraid that’s because”
Scolibie swallowed his saliva and said:
“The state of your death is too miserable to be expressed by the art of ‘carving’.”
ps: avatar panel
Stand-in name “Rolling Stone”
Ontology Scribi
Destructive power: none
Speed: b
Range distance: a
Sustainability: a
Movement precision: e
Growthability: None
Ability: The shape is a stone with the word “fierce” engraved on it. The stone will automatically turn into the appearance of a dying person and continue to track that person. When the person encounters the substitute, he will not suffer any pain. In euthanasia, if the dying person is not touched, nothing will happen. It is classified as a fully automatic avatar, but what drives the avatar’s movements is “fate”, which not even Scolibee can control.
