The Butterfly That Flapped Its Wings

"It's Killer Queen!"

Lu Lu sprang up from the ground with a flip.

He had just mentioned Diavolo's name when the blond-haired guy suddenly exploded.

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, and the two lackeys who had been lying unconscious on the ground had vanished as well.

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

That was why he could detonate the bomb at the most critical moment, preventing Lu Lu from learning the information he wanted.

"Damn it! I actually let my guard down because I thought a cursed spirit had done it!"

Lu Lu's expression was extremely grave.

If this really was Morioh, then Yoshikage Kira's house 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 he used the First Bomb to kill the blond-haired guy when Lu Lu asked about Diavolo.

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

With that in mind, Lu Lu brushed the dust off himself and headed straight for the villa district halfway up the hill.

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

Jingle...

A faint bell rang 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 too...

Then the other Stand users from Morioh were likely here as well.

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

Silver Water Chain must have done that!

This made the situation seem 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, things would be even worse.

"Good grief... this time, it really is trouble!"

Pitter... patter...

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

"Right, I think I heard the radio in the taxi say it was going to rain..."

"Hm?"

Lu Lu abruptly stopped in his tracks.

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 vanished again.

But under these circumstances, standing out in the rain was an extremely unwise choice.

Anywhere with water was Silver Water Chain's domain, and all of Morioh was now shrouded in heavy rain.

As long as he wanted to, he could attack Lu Lu from anywhere.

Rainwater dripped onto Lu Lu's school uniform and flowed 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 really turned around to look, that would be falling into Angelo's trap.

"From the looks of you, you came prepared. Are you one of those damned sorcerers too?"

This time, the voice came from 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 came from 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 reason for constantly talking to Lu Lu was to see him panic under these eerie circumstances, satisfying his twisted desires.

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

"Hahahaha... what's wrong, kid..."

"Are you so scared that you don't even dare move?"

At that moment, Lu Lu suddenly lowered his guard.

"Good grief..."

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

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

"Ehahaha... kid, the next time you open your mouth will be your death!"
