JOJO, The Escape from Real Diavolo

Chapter 122 Wearing sunglasses can make you stronger!

Chen stood on the stairs, motionless for two minutes.

"What is he doing? Could it be... could it be that he discovered me? Did he actually hear my cough?"

The old man slowly squatted down, recalling what had happened before. He thought he had gotten away with it because Chen Miaowen hadn't paid attention at the time, so he assumed the other party hadn't heard the faint cough.

"That shouldn't be happening. If I were really discovered, wouldn't I be turned into a human pig?... But, but why? He's not moving?"

The old man trembled and glanced down again, but Chen remained unmoved.

"Could there be something ahead?"

Swallowing hard, the old man decided to move around and investigate what had happened on the third floor. Perhaps he could put his mind at ease if he saw it with his own eyes.

But he only moved half a step, and his perspective instantly changed from 1.5 meters high to 0.5 meters high.

What followed was excruciating pain all over the body.

His limbs were instantly torn off, and he was turned into a human pig.

He couldn't help but roar in pain, and through his tear-streaked eyes, he saw Chen's all-too-familiar shoes, the ones he often stared at in a daze when he hid in the other's shadow.

"you..."

The old man gritted his teeth and raised his head slightly to get a clear look at Chen Miaowen's appearance.

The other person remained expressionless, merely fiddling with a pair of sunglasses in their hand before tossing them on the ground and turning away once more.

The old man froze, looking at his reflection in his sunglasses, and finally remembered something.

"Oh, it was the sunglasses on my collar... Did the sunglasses reflect my position?... But how could that be? They're hanging on my collar... How could the lenses be facing upwards..."

"Or...or should I say..."

Chen Miaowen ignored what was said next. He returned to the boundary between the second and third floors, looked up at the sky, and then walked into the light without hesitation.

"What good luck, Chen. It was just because the three layers of light were reflecting off the cheap sunglasses and making a glaring glare. He only slightly adjusted the position of the sunglasses, and that's how he ended up reflecting this damn old man..."

"But why did you leave those sunglasses behind?"

"Because there's no need to keep it."

"Oh... really? But you might have done something you'll regret!"

Below the third floor, in the dark staircase leading to the fourth floor, someone was speaking; the mocking tone was very familiar to Chen.

"Have you already taken care of the others? So... so you're looking for my location?"

A woman appeared in the darkness of the stairwell, her high heels clicking softly. Just like during the day, she wore sunglasses and had her hair down.

"Is he planning to attack me and then seize the throne?"

The woman suddenly took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of captivating golden pupils that even emitted two beams of golden light.

This radiance almost completely obscured the light from the incandescent bulbs, and from the moment the sunglasses were removed, it bathed the entire third floor in yellow, even casting shadows on the ceiling.

"Then let's give it a try... and see if you're qualified to face the Emperor."

Her tone suddenly changed drastically, becoming heavy and then turning into a masculine voice, as if she had been possessed by a rough butcher.

However, Chen remained expressionless and offered no reply throughout these few words, as if the woman had been directing and acting the entire thing, like a comedian putting on a comical performance.

"Are you ignoring me?"

The woman's pretty face furrowed her brows, then relaxed and smiled. "Or do you think you're in complete control... or, more specifically, you have absolutely no desire to fight me?"

Silence remained, and the two remained locked in a silent standoff within a distance of less than ten meters.

It's a very short distance, so short that Chen only needs to use the "delete" skill to instantly kill the opponent.

Even if you don't want to do it yourself or move around.

Before the other party can react, simply release sharp spider silk and then immediately delete it for a period of time. The other party will be eliminated without knowing it and will lose the ability to move, just like that old man.

It could be said that Chen Miaowen had at least several ways to instantly defeat his opponent, but surprisingly, he didn't even make a move.

"Hey... what are you doing? Move around!"

Diablo also sensed something strange. The battle upstairs was definitely not over yet, the clones had not been recalled, and Chen's personality was definitely still twisted. It was impossible for him to be intimidated by the two beams of light and then cower and retreat.

"I...I can't move."

Chen finally opened his mouth, his voice trembling slightly, indicating that he had finally felt some fear.

"What do you mean?"

The woman not far away was stunned, then realized that the other person was being controlled by something, and smiled with some relief.

Her voice returned to normal, and then she began to bend over and clutch her stomach, laughing more and more wildly. While laughing, she blinked her eyes, and two golden lights appeared and disappeared on the third-floor ceiling.

"Ah...ah, sorry, that was a bit rude. A beautiful girl like me shouldn't be acting so childish, right..."

So she straightened up, gave Chen, who was sweating profusely, a meaningful look, and then put on sunglasses to cover up the golden light.

"It was probably that old man who did it, right? Maybe he's in your shadow?"

The woman walked up behind Chen, then stepped on his shadow and some bloody footprints, and said,

"He must have been wearing sunglasses, which enhanced his abilities, right? Perhaps, even controlled these two gentlemen?"

The woman stretched out her hand and waved it in front of both the Red King and the Spider Demon, but they were unable to harm her.

"But no matter how I step on it, why won't that damn old man come out?"

The woman suddenly stomped her foot hard, as if she really wanted to drive the old man out of the shadows.

"What are you going to do... turn me into a human pig? Then do it..."

"I never said that. Although I harbored some resentment towards you before, what right did you, you madman, have to throw wine at someone like me? I remember wanting to kill you back then!"

"But now, I have a purpose... I just want to assess whether you are qualified to see the Emperor... Anyway, it's impossible to tell right now."

The woman smiled, revealing her thick lips, then pulled a pair of sunglasses from her pocket and waved them in front of Chen's immobile face.

"But I think that as long as you put on these sunglasses, you'll definitely be qualified to take the position. Why don't you... give it a try? Wearing sunglasses will make you stronger—ordinary people can become special forces soldiers, and people with strange abilities will become even stranger..."

"Of course, if you don't want to wear it, that's fine... Anyway, I won't kill you, I won't turn you into a human pig. I'm just a neutral party member. I'm just a major obstacle before the winner meets the Emperor, right? ...So you could say that?"

The woman walked past Chen Miaowen again, preparing to leave the third floor. Before leaving, she uttered a single sentence.

"But I won't help you either. You've already lost your ability to move, so you're essentially ineligible, right? Unless you can break free from the shadow's grasp in a short time..."

"Oops! How did my sunglasses end up on the 'second and first floor stairs' like that? Oh well, never mind, it's just a pair of sunglasses..."

The sound gradually faded into the distance.
