Diverting Trouble Elsewhere

Jilan Jiyu forcibly suppressed their shock and calmly asked, "Stain, what do you want to see All Might about? Do you want him to deal with Dio?"

Stain too lazy to correct Jilan, simply assuming he was intimidated by the name AllForOne, just as ordinary wizards dared not call Voldemort by his real name. Jilan only dared to use the nickname Dio to refer to him.

"If there's anyone in this world who can defeat him, it has to be All Might." Stain stared blankly at the ceiling, muttering, "I originally planned to have All Might come to me, then tell him about All For One, and then die right in front of him."

"... Should we feel sorrow or relief that one evil is washing away another?" Jilan Jiyu stood up and solemnly bowed to Stain. "If I have the chance, I will tell All Might about this."

Stain suddenly asked, "Wait, aren't you going to tell the people behind you about AllForOne?"

"Just as you don't believe them, I don't either," Jilan replied.

"Oh, that's good."

In Stain's mind, only All Might was trustworthy, which was one of the reasons why he remained silent in front of other Pro Hero and the police.

As Jilan Jiyu stood up to open the door, Stain suddenly said, "Your name is Jilan Jiyu, right? I saw you in the photo Shigaraki. Although you are the same kind of people as us, I hope you don't become like us."

"Drug addicts aren't unaware that drugs will ruin their lives, but they don't care anymore because their lives have already been destroyed." Stain turned his head and stared intently at Jilan's retreating figure. "But you can still be saved. You still have the right to choose to become good or bad, and you still have... the possibility of becoming a hero!"

"... Stain, Inspector Tsukauchi was right, you really are a thought prisoner. Even at the end, you were still thinking about reducing the number of imposters you had to kill in the future..." Jilan Jiyu chuckled a few times, then fell silent. "I'll remember that."

Jilan Jiyu turned the doorknob, opened the heavy door, and walked out under Stain's gaze.

"... Why do I see the same light in this guy as All Might?" Stain chuckled to himself. "It's probably just my imagination, but I wish it were true... This world needs more heroes."

As soon as Jilan opened the door, the people sitting in the chairs stood up and walked towards him. Hizashi Yamada asked anxiously, "Are you alright? What news did Stain tell you?"

After seeing Stain calmly chatting with Jilan, Inspector Tsukauchi breathed a sigh of relief. However, since they could only see Jilan's back as she sat in the chair and Stain he faced upwards, no one could read lips. So, Tsukauchi Inspector Shota Aizawa and Hizashi Yamada sat in the chairs and waited, leaving Jilan and Stain complete privacy.

"Stain has no connection to the League of Villains; he's killing solely out of his own volition." Jilan Jiyu looked up at Inspector Tsukauchi. "However, he was indeed contacted by the League of Villains."

"Did he tell you the location of the League of Villains' stronghold?" Shota Aizawa asked calmly.

"He said he was led there by Kurogiri to a building that looked like a small bar, but he didn't know the exact location." Jilan paused for a moment before continuing, "However, he told me about an intermediary who could contact him."

Inspector Tsukauchi spoke up, "His name is..."

Jilan paused for a moment before saying, "Giran is a professional broker who frequents Shinjuku Ward. He's the one who found Stain. He's responsible for gathering intelligence and contacting the outside world within the League of Villains. If we can capture him, it's like cutting off the League of Villains' eyes."

These words were eight parts true and two parts false. The name "Giran" was given to him by Kurogiri, and judging from the way Kurogiri treated him as one of their own, it didn't seem fake. The information he gave him must be true. Now that he had decided that Dio was the true master of the League of Villains, he couldn't rashly seek out any information related to him.

According to Stain, just like in Oumagadoki City, Kurogiri suddenly appeared behind him. Kurogiri only has a teleportation Quirk, meaning Dio must have acquired a Quirk that can locate locations. However, the limitations must be quite significant, otherwise he could have easily set a trap for All Might. Even so, he cannot easily act alone.

Telling the police the name "Giran" would allow them to scout ahead, while also concealing what Stain truly told him. If Giran is essentially Dio's henchman, arresting him sooner would be a good thing; if he's a trusted confidant, then it remains to be seen how Dio will react.

"Giran... I understand." Inspector Tsukauchi nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, Jilan. If you don't mind, you can come to our police station. We have professional masseuses who can help you recover. Of course, I believe you wouldn't mind doing some minor investigations."

Although he said he didn't mind, he actually wanted someone to test my mental state, worried that I might be influenced by Stain's ideas... Just like Stain said, he didn't trust the police, and the police didn't trust him either. If I really revealed Dio's information, I would most likely be subjected to a lot of tests, instead of this kind of minor investigation...

Jilan nodded. "Thank you for your help."

Shota Aizawa had no objections and waved to Inspector Tsukauchi, saying, "In that case, I'll leave Jilan to you. I'll be going now."

After saying that, he gave Jilan a deep look, then turned and left.

Aizawa didn't believe that Jilan and Stain's long conversation had only revealed a middleman acting as a liaison, but since Jilan was intentionally concealing the truth, he must have his reasons.

"Well then Jilan, shall we go to the police station now?" Officer Tsukauchi said with a smile, putting on his hat.

"Can we wait a bit? I want to go see someone," Jilan suddenly said.

Ward 302.

Jilan pushed open the door, and the red glow of the setting sun painted the ward with colors like an oil painting. A man in a hospital gown sat on the edge of the bed, turning his head to look at the sunset, seemingly reminiscing or perhaps deep in thought.

"Excuse me."

"You are..." The man turned his head after hearing the voice, looking at Jilan in her U.A. High School. uniform with some surprise, then smiled, "Are you Tenya's classmate? Please have a seat."

The person sitting on the hospital bed is named Tensei Iida, Iida's older brother, the Pro Hero Ingenium, and also a victim of Stain's knife.

"My name is Jilan Jiyu, and I'm Tenya's class representative." At Tensei Iida's prompting, Jilan Jiyu sat down on the stool next to him.

"I know you. I watched the Sports Festival recordings these past few days, and you performed very well," Tensei Iida said with a cheerful smile. "It's a pity that my Tenya didn't fight you because of me, and I'm quite sorry about that. But even if he had fought you, Tenya would probably have lost."

"Tenya is very strong." After saying this, Jilan Jiyu paused for a moment and then said, "... Although my words were a bit abrupt, do you still hate Hero Killer?"

"Hate?" Tensei Iida smiled. "Even if I feel angry, it's my duty to arrest him, not because of personal grudges."

Tensei Iida looked up at the ceiling, as if he could see directly through it into the hospital room above him, and murmured, "Besides, what right do I have to hate someone who has their own beliefs?"
