JOJO, The Escape from Real Diavolo

Chapter 117 The Emperor's Party

The number on the phone's lock screen finally reached 20:00 PM, but nothing changed because Chen was all alone.

The passengers who had just passed by Chen disappeared the moment he looked up.

"What happened?"

Chen Miaowen put away his phone and prepared to rush to the restaurant immediately.

"The party's started... Hey friend, what are you doing here?"

The captain in sunglasses suddenly appeared behind Chen, patted him on the shoulder, stopped him in his tracks, and startled him.

The voice was the captain's, but the tone was a bit strange.

Since Chen Neng sensed something was amiss, he had to engage in a sport called "running away."

But Chen did not; his formidable strength gave the coward enough confidence.

He deleted it, walked around behind the captain, took out his phone, pointed it at his back, and said,

"You should know what I have in my hand... So, if you're smart, you'll tell me the secret of this party."

After saying that, Chen felt a little guilty. What right did he have to coerce others? What if the party was just an ordinary party?

"I don't know what you're talking about... Can't you find the party location? It's over there, on the other side... You wouldn't see it from here..."

The captain raised his hands, displaying a normal human reaction after being "coerced".

"Then...then take me there. Put your hands down and don't attract the attention of others."

The captain didn't speak, and as a "hostage," he slowly began to walk forward. Just like a poorly filmed scene in a movie, it was very obvious, so obvious that if someone passed by, they would definitely shout loudly, "There are terrorists! Help!"

"...This is too normal. Even if it's not some kind of doomsday party, it shouldn't be this ordinary. That woman isn't a normal person... Or is it that this party has little to do with that woman? Is there someone else causing the problem? Is it that old man?"

Chen pondered to himself, keeping his phone on the captain's back, and took out the sunglasses with his other hand, intending to put them on.

"Keep it."

He followed the captain and eventually found the exact location of the party: a cabin where a bunch of people were mingling together, all wearing sunglasses.

Despite being called a party, it was eerily quiet inside, except for one person standing on a higher step, as if the party would only officially begin after announcing something.

But that person wasn't a female ghost; on the contrary...

"On the contrary, it was the bartender? The bartender with sunglasses? That woman still managed to do it...?"

Chen shook his head and instructed the captain to go in first.

"No... I can't go in. I need to observe the sea from the outside, for safety... right?"

"Okay, okay, you can go now."

Chen put his phone back in his pocket and watched the captain leave with his hand raised, without even glancing back at him once.

"...This can't be normal, can it? Am I the one who's not normal?"

"Don't just stand there, there's someone watching you from inside."

Diablo finally spoke up to warn the captain only after he had completely disappeared from sight.

Chen turned around and found that there was more than one person. All the strange men wearing sunglasses in the cabin were looking in his direction. Although he couldn't see their eyes, Chen seemed to be able to sense the meaning behind their eyes.

It could be hostility, it could be hunting.

In short, he was so stared at that he didn't know what to do and dared not move.

"So what should I do? Should I wear sunglasses and join them?"

The fact that the key was discovered was a minor matter; the discoverers simply kept staring at Chen without making any move, as if they were playing a game where whoever made the move lost.

Their sunglasses, like some dark light, flickered due to the cabin lights.

"Whatever... I'm going in, without sunglasses! What can they do to me?"

Chen Miaowen made up his mind, took a deep breath, hung his sunglasses on his collar, and refused to put them on, as if he wanted to deliberately annoy someone.

He then walked into the cabin, seemingly under the watchful eyes of the men in sunglasses.

"...Now that everyone's here, let's start the party."

The bartender, standing on the steps, said this.

"What do you mean?"

While Chen Miaowen was still looking around, searching for the female ghost or the old man, the bartender suddenly said something like this.

It was as if everyone was waiting for him; Chen could even sense some dissatisfaction in the eyes of the man in sunglasses because of this sentence.

However, he did not receive any strict requirement to wear sunglasses, so he blended in with the group of people wearing sunglasses.

"Boss, what's going on here?"

"I don't know, let him continue."

Without receiving a satisfactory prompt, Chen could only silently watch the bartender on the steps speak.

"Another party is coming up, I'm sure you're all really looking forward to it, just like you'd look forward to Halloween every year..."

Halloween is here... but I still prefer the Mid-Autumn Festival. Chen Qingqing muttered.

"Before this party, the Emperor mentioned some things to us, and then asked me to explain them to you."

"First, no one can die at this party, but the Emperor will allow things like cutting off limbs."

"Secondly, this party will determine the fifth emperor, and the winner after the party ends will take office."

"above."

The first matter did not cause a stir among the others, but it did make Chen break out in a cold sweat.

The second matter almost caused chaos in the pond carrying the sunglasses, throwing them into disarray inside the cabin. Although no one spoke, the sounds of them stretching and rubbing their shoes could be heard, suggesting they were incredibly excited.

Chen appeared listless amidst the active crowd.

"Is this what you mean by 'fighting each other'? Is this what you call a party...?"

"Alright, let's begin."

"Huh? So fast?"

Chen Miaowen took a large step back, with two body doubles standing in front of and behind him, ready to fight at any moment.

But what I expected didn't happen. Instead, these guys in sunglasses headed towards the drinks section. They started drinking with smiles, but didn't seem happy at all.

"What is this...?"

Chen was completely dumbfounded. It seemed that he was the only one who didn't fit into the atmosphere of the party, and none of the things he had imagined had appeared in time.

"What exactly was the bartender saying? And why didn't the guys in sunglasses seem inclined to fight?"

After thinking it over, Chen walked to the drinks section in a similar manner, casually picked up a glass of wine, and then observed the expressions of these strange men in sunglasses.

They continued to giggle and clink glasses like normal people, even though Chen was clearly staring at someone, the other person didn't react.

Five minutes, ten minutes passed, and the situation remained unchanged.

Then Chen got impatient and said, "Then you guys can make a scene yourselves. I'm not going to play along."

After saying that, Chen casually "accidentally" spilled the wine on someone. As expected, there was no reaction, and he stepped out of the cabin.

"The party is officially starting."
