"It's Killer Queen!"

Lu Lu flipped up from the ground.

He had just said Diavolo's name, and that blond guy had exploded instantly.

It looked like the effect of Bites the Dust, but he hadn't been hurt.

So it had only been Killer Queen's ordinary First Bomb attack.

Then that meant!

Lu Lu hurriedly looked to the side.

There was no one around. Even the two unconscious lackeys who had been lying on the ground had vanished.

Based on the range of Killer Queen's First Bomb, Yoshikage Kira had definitely been somewhere nearby, watching everything that happened here.

That was why he had been able to detonate the bomb at the most critical moment, preventing Lu Lu from getting the information he wanted.

"Damn it! I actually let my guard down because I really thought it was the work of a cursed spirit!"

Lu Lu's expression was incomparably grim.

If this really was Morioh, then Yoshikage Kira's home should be...

Lu Lu turned his gaze toward the cluster of villas on the distant hillside.

Yoshikage Kira's house should be there.

But where was Diavolo?

Judging from Yoshikage Kira's actions just now, he had already come into contact with Diavolo.

He might have even joined Diavolo's organization.

That was why, when Lu Lu asked about information on Diavolo, he had activated the First Bomb and killed that blond guy.

As long as he found one of them, he would definitely be able to learn about the other from his mouth.

With that in mind, Lu Lu dusted off the dirt that had gotten on him and headed straight for the villa district halfway up the hill.

A few seconds after Lu Lu left, a tiny strand of hair, nearly invisible to the naked eye, slowly drifted to the ground.

Jingle...

A faint ringing of bells sounded from the other side of the wall.

Lu Lu ran swiftly toward the villa district, thinking as he went.

If Yoshikage Kira existed in this world as well...

Then the other Stand users from Morioh most likely existed too.

If that was the case, then the dehydrated corpses Satoru Gojo had shown him earlier made sense as well.

That had to be Silver Water Chain's doing!

The problem suddenly seemed even more troublesome.

There were already three known hostile Stand users in Morioh.

Not to mention, if the other Stand users from the original story were all here too, the situation would be even worse.

"Good grief... This time, it really is troublesome!"

Patter... patter...

As he ran, the sky gradually darkened, and a light drizzle began to fall.

"Right, I think I heard the broadcast in the taxi saying it would rain..."

"Hm?"

Lu Lu's steps halted, and he suddenly stopped.

He had clearly felt a nauseating presence behind him.

It felt as disgusting as drinking a bottle of cilantro juice right after eating microwaved durian.

The moment he stopped, that presence disappeared again.

Even so, standing in the rain under these circumstances was an extremely unwise choice.

Anywhere with water was Silver Water Chain's home ground, and now the entire Morioh was shrouded in heavy rain.

It could be said that if he wanted to, he could attack Lu Lu from anywhere.

Rain dripped onto Lu Lu's school uniform, flowing down along the folds of his clothes.

Meanwhile, Lu Lu's eyes continuously scanned the surroundings for traces.

"Hehehe... Look... There's an outsider here..."

A voice flashed past behind Lu Lu, but he did not act rashly. This was merely Angelo's misdirection.

If he truly turned around to look, he would fall right into Angelo's trap.

"Judging by the way you look, you came prepared. Are you one of those damned sorcerers too?"

This time, the voice appeared to Lu Lu's left.

It seemed Angelo had encountered sorcerers before, but why had no news of it gotten out?

"Ah... It's this smell... You reek of those sorcerers..."

"But you dared to come here alone?"

This time, the two voices appeared to Lu Lu's right and beneath his feet.

It seemed Angelo had yet to discover that Lu Lu was a Stand user.

He had already mistaken Lu Lu for a sorcerer who had come to investigate the deaths.

His purpose in constantly talking to Lu Lu was to see the terrified expression on Lu Lu's face under such bizarre circumstances, satisfying his twisted mind.

Yet from beginning to end, Lu Lu's expression did not change in the slightest. He did not even move.

"Hahahaha... What's wrong, brat..."

"Have you been scared so badly that you don't even dare move?"

At that moment, Lu Lu suddenly dropped his stance.

"Good grief..."

The instant Lu Lu opened his mouth, Silver Water Chain suddenly appeared out of thin air above his head and fell together with the rain.

It slid down from Lu Lu's brow, over the bridge of his nose and his cheek, all the way to the corner of his mouth.

"Ehehehehe... Brat, the next time you open your mouth, it'll be your death!"
