Chapter 88 Re-travel
"They can't see my soul form, as expected..."
Diablo floated behind Chen Miaowen, even when they went to the toilet or ate.
He feared that staying away from comic books might lead to some irreparable and terrible consequences.
Forcing Chen Miaowen to stay put is impossible. What if this extraordinary piece of trash suddenly changes his personality and summons a substitute to tear his soul apart? He'd be finished.
During the journey, Chen Miaowen's double popped his head out once, but then hid inside his body and refused to come out.
"Your Stand... has its own consciousness, right?"
"Yes, but it can't talk, can't communicate with its host, can't write, and is terribly ugly... If I don't let it out, it won't show itself, and it's afraid of light. If it can't talk, but has the desire to see the world, I'll let it appear in the sun."
"...You're really something."
As time went by, Chen Miaowen grew increasingly disgusted with his stand-in because it was too noisy.
Even if it can't speak, it will consciously interfere with itself, wanting to leave its body and go out for a stroll. It will make squeaking noises in its mind, and you can't understand what it's saying, but it means the same thing.
Even with Chen Miaowen's stern orders, Jia Zhuzai's lively nature seemed impossible to suppress.
Over time, I came up with the idea of driving it out to experience the scorching sun, which is a very effective method to suppress its natural instincts.
This makes it hard for Diavolo to imagine that this would be a relationship between a Stand user and a Stand.
"However, it's been a long time since I've been back... It seems like the manga is still stuck at that point..."
The comic book is very likely based on Diavolo himself as the protagonist, and now that the protagonist is dead, the comic book plot cannot continue.
Chen Miaowen realized this a long time ago, so he didn't bother to open the comic book again and hurriedly returned to the classroom.
Because there was a horror novel he hadn't finished reading hidden in the desk in the classroom, he had to find it, otherwise the rest of the time would be very boring.
It's fair to say that without comics and novels, he would have had a hard time surviving at school.
"Still like a piece of trash..."
Diablo sighed inwardly. He had also stayed in that bedroom for two days, but after two days, he could feel his soul rotting and couldn't stand it anymore. No matter what, he would go for a walk in the park.
So all this time, the Chen Miaowen in front of him has remained the same as ever, which makes him admire him a little, admire the decadence in his bones.
"Could you help me flip through some comics? My soul can't touch reality, so I need to look at some older content to prepare for what might happen later."
"No, no need. I can explain it to you. I remember everything you want to ask."
So they sat down quietly in the noisy classroom. His seat was at the very back, in a place where the curtains blocked out the sunlight.
As Chen Miaowen flipped through the horror novel, he muttered to himself and explained everything to Diablo.
"Grillon can ignore all influences, his speed surpasses the wind... Trish's hot girl has evolved... The bomb he planted for you was chestnut-shaped... There were nearly ten Stand users within five kilometers of you before you died..."
"Hello, you must be Chen Miaowen? When did you get a haircut?"
It was extremely strange that someone would strike up a conversation with Chen Miaowen, who was constantly muttering to himself; so strange that even Diablo had his suspicions.
"What, you know someone like that? Is she your leading lady?"
"Heh, forget about the female lead. The person who talks to me isn't normal. She's more likely a Stand user."
Chen Miaowen recognized the person who struck up the conversation; she was their class monitor, the most influential woman in the class, but he had never spoken to her before.
"What do you want with me? Do you know what a Stand is? Do you know any Stand users?"
Chen Miaowen replied in this way, and also pointed to Diablo's soul form behind him, as well as the Spider Calamity that could appear in hidden places.
"Can you see him?"
"Huh?" "Huh!?"
"Hey, you idiot... what are you talking about?"
Diablo racked his brains but never expected Chen Miaowen to reply like that.
"Ah, you mean 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'? I've read it too, but... I could never be a Stand user."
"Never mind then, I only like talking to Stand users."
One sentence was enough to leave the class monitor speechless. Before he could say anything more, Chen Miaowen simply rolled up two books and left.
"Are you that kind of person? Or are you not Chen Miaowen?"
Diablo was clearly more surprised than the class monitor. He couldn't understand Chen Miaowen's actions and couldn't predict that the other party would change so much.
"Boss, do you think it's possible that since Stands can travel through time, there might be more than just the Garuda Disaster? Although the manga has written that the Garuda Disaster was the result of my time travel to JoJo, it doesn't state that there was only this one Stand. Besides, the manga isn't always accurate... So, if any strange characters or events appear in my real world, it's highly likely that they're related to Stand users."
"Is there any need to reveal your identity? What if the other party was really just pretending to be stupid, and then looking for an opportunity to attack you?"
"No, if the class monitor were lying, her eyes would have been shifty. If I had realized she was lying at the time, I would have taken action immediately. After all, a Stand user can't exist in front of me, otherwise, who knows what kind of impact it might have on me."
Diablo had nothing to say.
"Uh, something's happened."
Chen Miaowen casually opened a comic book, and just then, a commotion occurred.
As before, he began to flip through the comic book in his hands, page after page, until he finally stopped three seconds later, stopping at the scene where the boss had just touched the earth arrow.
"Looks like we should start here. Let's get ready."
Chen Miaowen didn't rest on the way. He ran quickly to an empty classroom, lay down on the ground, and prepared to be transported through time.
"Ah, wait..."
Upon opening his eyes, Chen Miaowen felt the texture of an arrow in his hand. Looking down, he saw the arrow right there in his grasp, radiating an irresistible allure.
So, like a boss, he started stabbing himself repeatedly.
"Uh, how long are you going to keep stabbing me? With your mental strength, how long will it take to get rid of this feeling?"
Diablo's spirit returned with him.
"No, it doesn't actually have much to do with mental strength. This feeling and unconscious behavior are only temporary."
Chen Miaowen was poking himself while still being able to reply to Diablo.
"Okay, you know some things better than I do."
"Um..."
The temporary discomfort quickly subsided.
After Chen Miaowen breathed a sigh of relief, he summoned his stand-in, just like in the previous comics, and prepared for the Red King to hold the arrow.
This summoning brought forth two monsters: the Spider Calamity and the Crimson King.
