Lee Sin’s Bizzare Adventure Chapter 272: News from Morio Town
I haven’t fully conceived it yet, a week’s vacation is not enough…
Please give me three more days, and updates will be officially resumed on the 10th.
This chapter is coded by me forcibly to prevent readers from failing to invest if they are not updated for 7 consecutive days…Sorry (/w＼)
…………………………………………. …
One week later.
April 4, 1999, morning.
The new headquarters of the organization in Rome, a beautiful European-style mansion.
In the past, the passion organization didn’t even have a boss who dared to show his face, let alone a serious organization headquarters.
But things are different now. There is a new era and a new atmosphere. The first thing the new leader Giorno Giovanna did after taking office was to change the secret agent management policy and white terror policy implemented by Diavolo in the past. The administrative work of the organization is completely open and transparent:
In the past, Diavolo was used to being secretive and sneaky, and he had to be secretive when cleaning up the house.
Lee Sin and Giorno are different.
They never engage in underhanded tactics such as assassination.
They kill people openly.
There is no way. Once Giorno and Bucciarati’s new policy of banning “trading of souvenirs” was proposed, it had already aroused a fierce backlash from many vested interests before it was even officially implemented.
Now, even the lessons learned from the assassination team’s defeat are not enough to deter those careerists.
So, this so-called “organizational headquarters” is actually the arena set up by Li Qing and others for these careerists.
They have been guarding this arena for the past week, investigating Diavolo’s whereabouts overtly and covertly, while waiting for the rebels who are extremely dissatisfied with the new leadership and new policies to come and seek death. Yes, he is indeed seeking death.
Because when those anti-bone guys come to the door in a rage, they will find that the situation is completely different from the information they obtained in advance:
First of all, Li Qing’s strength is two levels higher than what the intelligence described.
This huge and fatal intelligence error caused several challengers who relied too much on intelligence to tragically fall into the hands of Li Qing.
Secondly, these rebels are completely unaware of the existence of Jotaro and Star Platinum.
There is this man with invincibility written all over his face guarding here…
Many of the cool guys who came to challenge the boss couldn’t even go up the stairs of the mansion. They didn’t even know what methods their enemies used, and they were beaten to serious injuries inexplicably like ghosts.
That’s it, because all the people who came to challenge the headquarters of this organization have never come back, and because the abbreviation of the new boss Giorno Giovanna’s name in Italian is giogio…
So within the organization, among those organization members who have been silently paying attention to the recent changes, the mansion that Li Qing and others selected as their headquarters has been nicknamed the “Gio Magic House”.
“It has been three days in a row…”
“No rebel has come to give me experience for three consecutive days.”
Sitting on the sofa, Li Qing sighed in boredom:
“It seems that you have completely secured this ‘boss’ position, Giorno.”
“Probably.”
“Enough has been learned from the past.”
“As long as the remaining people are not stupid, they will settle down and recognize us as their boss.”
Giorno said calmly
His sitting posture maintained his usual elegance, which was in sharp contrast to Li Qing, who was slumped on the sofa like a slime:
“However, this stability is certainly only temporary.”
“When our policy of banning ‘specialty trade’ is officially implemented, there will definitely be more conflicts… or even divisions in the organization.”
Reform is never easy, not to mention that Giorno wants to touch such a large piece of cake.
The mafiosi don’t work in passion organizations for any kind of loyalty. All they want is profit, just a chance to share the cake.
Back then, Diavolo was able to feed at least the top management of the organization with the profits from the specialty trade, but Giorno wanted to take away such a large piece of cake, but he couldn’t come up with a new cake to share with everyone. .
Without financial resources, no matter how much you save, you will be left with nothing. When the time comes, the members of the organization whose income will drop sharply will definitely be dissatisfied.
Thinking of this, Giorno couldn’t help but feel a little numb.
Unlike Li Qing, who has no interest in these mundane things and only wants to “transfer all sentient beings”, he is truly treating the passion organization as his lifelong career.
The difficulty of managing such a huge underground violent gang is enough to give him, a precocious and spiritual first-year junior high school student, a headache.
“It doesn’t matter, in the end it’s all about money.”
“As long as we can make enough money to feed everyone.”
Li Qing gave the solution in his nonchalant tone.
“Make money?”
“The holes we have to fill are not just small ones…”
“Is there any business more profitable than selling specialty products?”
Giorno asked very puzzledly.
“Yes, don’t forget-“
“I am also an ‘economist’ who can predict economic trends in the next twenty years.”
Li Qing reminded him mysteriously, and Giorno suddenly remembered that Li Qing seemed to have some strange ability to predict the future trend of the world.
This inexplicable ability has saved everyone’s lives on the way to escape.
But now, Li Qing said with confidence:
“Let’s not mention those investments that take several years to bear fruit. I remember…ahem…I predict…”
“The Internet economic bubble in the U.S. stock market will probably reach its peak in March next year.”
“With such abundant liquidity in the organization and no shortage of professional financial talents, we can definitely seize the opportunity to do long and short positions appropriately, and repeatedly cut two waves of capitalist leeks.”
“You know, cutting leeks is more profitable than selling specialties…”
Li Qing stated his plan to make money eloquently.
In terms of investment, Giorno, who was almost as amateur as Li Qing, a hearsay guy, also listened very seriously.
“If it can be realized, the future development problem of the organization will be solved.”
“The policy of banning trade in specialty products should also be implemented smoothly by then.”
Giorno’s expression finally relaxed.
He has almost changed the country.
Unprecedentedly, dreams must be fully realized.
Thinking of this, a rare smile appeared on Giorno’s always resolute face.
But he was a precocious young man, and seemed to be born with a mind that couldn’t rest easily.
After completely finding a solution to the internal conflicts of the organization, Giorno began to struggle with the unresolved external conflicts:
“Then, the primary problem now is Diavolo.”
“The technology team has investigated almost all of Italy within this week, but they have never been able to find any trace of this guy.”
“According to the opinion of the science and technology team, if Diavolo is not hiding in some remote place and has completely stopped his activities, he has…already fled abroad.”
The passion organization’s control over Italy is almost absolute. Polnareff had been trapped for so many years and could not find a chance to leave.
But Diavolo is different. He created the Passion organization by himself.
No one understands passion organization better than him.
So the technology team believes that if it is Diavolo, it is entirely possible to escape abroad while avoiding the eyes of the organization.
Hearing the news, Li Qing, who had always had a calm expression, seemed less relaxed:
The earth is so big, who knows where Diavolo will escape to.
And Diavolo’s ability is absolutely invincible when used in assassinations and sneak attacks.
Having such a big worry hiding in the dark without a trace is as scary as seeing a cockroach disappear under the bed at home.
“Where do you think he will escape?”
Li Qing had no idea at all and could only ask Giorno for his opinion.
“I think…”
Giorno seemed to really have some guesses.
But before he had time to express his suspicions, Jotaro hurriedly pushed the door open:
“No more guessing.”
“I may already know Diavolo’s whereabouts.”
He said it straight to the point.
“Where?”
Both Li Qing and Giorno looked a little surprised.
“Morio Town.”
“That’s where I came from.”
Jotaro said solemnly.
“Who spread the news?” Giorno asked cautiously: “Is this news credible? How did the provider of the news identify Diavolo as the Duoh Town?”
“It’s Higashikata Josuke…my…”
“Uncle.”
Jotaro was silent for a moment before he managed to hold back the title that suited his seniority:
“He said that he had just rescued a substitute, and the enemy of the substitute showed what seemed to be the ability to ‘cut out time’.”
“In other words, Diavolo is probably in Morio Town now.”
“Why?” Li Qing was a little puzzled: “Why did he go halfway around the world to Duwang Town? Change homes?”
“This may… be because there are arrows in Morio Town.”
“Also, I accidentally disclosed this to him on the phone.”
As he spoke, Jotaro frowned tightly:
“There is more than one arrow in the world, and other arrows may also have the effect of strengthening the substitute.”
“I’m afraid Diavolo wants to take advantage of this to make a comeback.”
“That’s it!”
Here, everything becomes clear.
Li Qing immediately said impatiently:
“Anyway, the organization has temporarily stabilized, so we might as well rush directly to Morio Town now.”
“Yes.” Jotaro’s mobility is stronger than that of Li Qing: “I have asked the consortium to prepare the tickets. Everyone can leave at any time.”
Without any hesitation, the two of them finalized the trip plan that spanned half the world.
“Wait…”
Giorno noticed something that everyone had temporarily ignored:
“Who is the substitute messenger who was rescued by your uncle?”
“Why did he fight Diavolo for no reason – if it was really Diavolo.”
“This…”
Jotaro thought for a while:
“From what Josuke said, that guy is just an ordinary citizen.”
“It seems that he has never seen other substitutes before, and he doesn’t even have a clear idea of the concept of substitutes.”
“As for why Diavolo was provoked…I heard it seemed to be just an accident?”
“Ordinary citizens?”
“Still a pure layman?”
Hearing this, Li Qing couldn’t help but marvel:
“A rookie stand-in user can survive in the hands of Diavolo. This guy really has potential.”
“What’s his name? I’d like to get to know him.”
“Well…”
Jotaro carefully recalled this name that he didn’t pay much attention to:
“That guy seems to be called…”
“Yoshikage Kira?”
