The King of Black Fog

Chapter 218: The Substitute Strikes


'Be careful of the last person.'

Li Changzhou and Li Qianxia suddenly heard Yang Qinglan's auditory hallucination.

She repeated what Shadow Cat had seen that was out of the ordinary.

She didn't understand Japanese, but she could understand a person's demeanor; the other party's expression was calm, as if they found it troublesome.

Perhaps this person simply disliked stage activities, but voicing the suspicion made everyone remain alert—it was definitely better than treating the person as an ordinary audience member.

Li Changzhou and Li Qianxia took note but said nothing—'Shadow Cat' was the only investigation Skill they had, and they could not reveal it to Turquoise Pool.

And Turquoise Pool's own Skills were not to be shared with them either.

In the ventilation duct, Li Changzhou peeked through the grille at the corridor, and the last person was the voice actor of the main character from the third part of 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure,' so for the time being let's call him Kojo Jotaro.

In 'JoJo,' there were two characters with Stands capable of stopping time, and Kojo Jotaro was one of them.

Besides, his Stand 'Platinum Star' was widely recognized as the strongest, although it often got inexplicably beaten up.

If he were to truly awaken 'Platinum Star'...

But a character is a character, and a voice actor is a voice actor—the voice actor for Kojo Jotaro might awaken a Stand unique to him.

'I am the Storm'—what exactly was their goal? To steal Stands with a mysterious object? Or was it simply fan behavior?

As they pondered, the puppets controlled by Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan had already arrived above the premiere theater for 'Stone Sea.'

Compared with the theater for 'Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion,' this one was much smaller, but it was still full of people. Moreover, various media and reporters occupied the aisles, making it impossible to move around inside, let alone leave to use the restroom—any slight urgency would definitely require a bottle!

The situation had its advantages and disadvantages.

Con: It was easy to accidentally harm civilians;

Pro: So many civilians could use their flesh and blood to hinder 'I am the Storm' for a second or two.

Whether it was a pro or a con depended on who cared less about the civilians—'I am the Storm' taking the mysterious object didn't mean they were a cold-blooded murderer who killed without blinking.

'Don't stereotype.' Li Changzhou mentally recited the lesson Yang Qinglan had just taught him.

The stage greeting had already started, and both Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan quickly moved their gazes across the audience, swiftly locking onto their target.

Dressed in a black Japanese-style uniform, sporting a pompadour with about a 6-point Charm, combined with the attire of the main character from 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Immortal Diamond' (the fourth part), it was quite eye-catching.

'It seems like fan behavior for now,' Li Changzhou speculated.

'I can't see a thing.' After a pause, Li Qianxia continued, 'I only see a size C chest.'

On stage, Kujo Jotaro, who was delivering her thoughts, covered her chest, and Li Changzhou, with his extraordinary vision, clearly saw many in the audience glance away for a moment.

He even heard someone exclaim, 'She's too big tonight! I admit she's the most suitable voice actor for Kujo Jotaro!'

That was fake!

She had padded her chest, two puppets worth of padding!

'And her muscles are really well-developed too!' Li Qianxia added.

'Because I am of Japanese and Egyptian descent, I felt a sense of kinship when I saw the third part of 'JoJo,' which took place in Egypt. And the main character of the third part, Kojo Jotaro, happens to be the father of Kujo Jotaro, so.... Hmm~'

While expressing her thoughts, Kujo Jotaro suddenly moaned, clutching her abs.

The theater fell silent for two seconds.

'What, what's going on?' The female host asked, puzzled, as if shocked.

'It's nothing...' Kujo Jotaro's voice was slow and soft, as if talking to herself.

She lifted her left leg, hugged herself with her left hand, and holding the microphone upside down to her left cheek, brought it to her lips, striking a bizarre pose that a normal person could never pull off.

'...I just saw the camera and suddenly felt an impulse,' Kujo Jotaro said.

'...'

'Hahaha!'

'Awoo!!!'

The audience erupted in wild cheers, and 'I am the Storm' stood up excitedly.

This was a famous scene from 'Stone Sea,' where Kujo Jotaro, after being imprisoned, suddenly felt an impulse towards the prison skylight and was even spotted by the guards while working (though without specific details).

All the audience thought Kujo Jotaro was imitating a joke from herself.

But Kujo Jotaro was just trying to disguise the fact that Li Qianxia had sensitively hit her abs!

The stomach, even though not an armpit, still feels strange if touched unexpectedly.

'Don't move around,' Li Changzhou told Li Qianxia.

'I'm just touching a little, and it's because I like it. I didn't go inside the waistband, what's the big deal!' Li Qianxia reasoned as she spoke the line of crime.

'Stone Sea' theater.

The female host, visibly nervous, asked Kojo Jotaro, the father of Kujo Jotaro, 'Your daughter... suddenly doing that, what's your opinion as a father?'

Kojo Jotaro, with his left hand in his pocket and microphone in his right, replied in an invincible manner with invincible words:

'Yare yare.'

'Ah!!' The audience cheered even louder.

Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan's puppets in the ventilation ducts could clearly feel the slight impact of the cheering.

In the eyes of 'JoJo' fans, this was a celebration; in the eyes of Yang Qinglan, it was all insanity, totally incomprehensible what was being shouted.

She pondered how to deal with the situation.

Summon King Cobra to release poison gas? Have Death God deliver a fatal blow with a scythe? (Swinging horizontally would kill a large swath)

No, unless she was sure a one-hit kill was possible, it would inevitably harm ordinary people.

If too many regular people died, especially in front of so many media, it might even escalate into an international diplomatic incident.
