Lee Sin’s Bizzare Adventure Chapter 336: Slave of fate
April 5, 1999, 17:59 pm.
The public bench in the square in front of the Moriocho tram station is closest to the station exit.
Kishibe Rohan was sitting upright on this ordinary-looking bench with an ink-stained paintbrush in her hand and a sketchbook on her knees.
His eyes were full of concentration as he looked at the drawing paper, and underneath his concentration was a kind of fanaticism that was obsessed with art.
At this moment, several young fans passing by were chattering and pestering the great cartoonist.
There was no trace of impatience on Kishibe Rohan’s face.
While he responded to the greetings of the few fans with a gentle expression, he drew on the drawing paper with concentration.
At the same time, he was still counting silently in his heart:
“59 points, 05, 06, 07, 08….”
“Here we are, 17:59:09.”
The man from the future warned him carefully:
He will accidentally encounter Diavolo at 17:59:09, and then successfully activate Heaven’s Gate at 17:59:50.
The time will not be wrong by one second, and it cannot be wrong by one second.
Sure enough, as the “prophecy” said:
At this moment, at 17:59:09…
A middle-aged foreigner with pink hair appeared in front of Kishibe Rohan as if destined.
That’s Diavolo, the villain of this story.
Kishibe Rohan felt an unspeakable excitement quietly welling up in his heart, but he showed no signs of it on the surface.
He was still finishing his paintings calmly, while also sending away those overly enthusiastic fans.
Soon, the little fans passing by walked away as Kishibana Rohan watched.
But Kishibe Rohan still ignored Diavolo. He just lowered his head seriously and concentrated on painting the painting that was about to be completed.
Finally, the painting is completed.
Kishibe Rohan breathed a sigh of relief, put down the brush, then raised her head and said to Diavolo:
“Sir… you seem to have been observing me for almost half a minute.”
“Are you interested in my paintings?”
“If that’s the case, I’d like someone to taste it.”
As he spoke, he gently held up the still-dry painting, as if expecting Diavolo’s answer.
“Well…”
Diablo hesitated.
He is currently busy meeting with Kira Yoshikage, and his vigilance seems to be at the highest level.
So, with suspicion about Kishibe Rohan, he quietly started testing.
That’s it, after a series of trials…
Diablo finally gave up his suspicion and believed that the other party was just an artist who happened to be sketching here.
“Okay…thank you.”
“I was just trying to see what you were drawing.”
He continued to act as an art lover and agreed to Rohan Kishibe’s words perfunctorily.
“Then please review and appreciate it.”
Kishibe Rohan handed the sketchbook out calmly, with a hint of excitement under her calm expression.
Diablo took the sketchbook gently and pretended to read it:
“It is indeed a painting that can make people’s eyes shine.”
This is not entirely perfunctory.
Although the structure of the painting looks simple at first glance, it looks like random graffiti, but upon closer inspection, you can see that the lines are simple and clear, and the details are rich and rich.
It seems like only a few strokes, but the simple pattern is vividly depicted with the most delicate strokes.
It’s just…
Diablo still hasn’t understood what the pattern depicted in this painting is.
Obviously the other party was sketching at the entrance of the station, but the content of the painting was not the scene of people coming and going at the station, but…
A snake.
A snake connected end to end.
It’s like a circle with no beginning and no end.
“This painting should be…”
Diablo hesitated, not knowing how to answer the question.
“This is a occult symbol that has been passed down since ancient times.”
“I believe you will also be interested in it.”
Kishibe Rohan introduced Diavolo with a smile:
“And its name is——”
“Ouroboros.”
………………………..
Naples, in the port warehouse where an explosion just occurred.
“Ouroboros…”
Another lost memory resurfaced in my mind.
It turns out that before I awakened my final power, I had already seen the “Ouroboros” in the paintings of Kishibe Rohan.
An unspeakable fear surged into his heart, and Diavolo completely collapsed:
“Kishibanao…”
“Did I completely fail at that time?!”
He roared hysterically in a frenzy.
Li Qing smiled in relief:
Indeed, Kishibe Rohan is the key to solving all this.
Since arriving in Duwang Town, Li Qing has been holding back a bunch of uneasy questions:
Why does he, who has never been to Morio Town, have a teammate he has never met in Morio Town?
Why was Rohan Kishibe able to grasp his information in advance?
How did Kishibe Rohan defeat Diablo, who could predict the future, and captured this overly cautious guy in one fell swoop?
These questions have never been answered.
However, after knowing that Diavolo’s ultimate ability is “traveling through time”…
Li Qing vaguely guessed the answer:
He must have gone back to the past too!
He will definitely contact Kishibe Rohan when he goes back in time.
And this great cartoonist with a weird personality will definitely believe what he says and become his companion.
Because these are both the future and the past that has already happened.
The past cannot be changed, and the future will definitely come as destiny has written.
So, after the previous crash…
The first thing Li Qing did was to look for his cell phone everywhere, hoping to contact Kishibe Rohan directly by phone.
The mobile phone was found, but no one answered the initial call——
This is actually normal:
Due to the time difference, it should be about 1 o’clock in the middle of the night at Kishibe Rohan’s side.
The great cartoonist may be sleeping, or he may be focusing on his creation. It is not surprising that he did not answer the phone.
And just when Li Qing came to squat at the entrance of the warehouse and planned to continue bombarding the great cartoonist with phone calls…
Diablo had already arrived on a motorcycle.
But Li Qing did not panic because of Diavolo’s sudden attack.
Because this gave him another big reassurance:
Diablo was already here before the call was answered.
What does this mean?
This means Lee Sin 100% won this battle.
Otherwise, if he loses this battle…
He would have no way to contact Kishibe Rohan, and it would be impossible for Kishibe Rohan to become his teammate without “never meeting him”.
The past that has happened is absolutely [unchangeable], so Kishibe Rohan will definitely be his teammate, and he will definitely be able to successfully contact Kishibe Rohan.
“I will definitely win.”
This is not establishing fg.
Because Li Qing has already understood the script in advance:
“Everything is already written.”
“The future is the past that has already happened, and the past cannot be changed.”
“So we are actually just repeating the cycle of time.”
“And in this unchangeable time loop, I am destined to win, and you are destined to fail!”
Li Qing paused for a moment, then said in a deep tone:
“Diablo, don’t you understand yet?”
“Think about it carefully…”
“Who defeated you?”
Diavolo was shocked, as if he suddenly fell into an endless abyss:
Yeah, who defeated him?
Is it Li Qing?
Or Kishibe Rohan?
No, neither.
Kishibe Rohan was able to bypass Epitaph and let Diavolo get hit because Li Sin told him the exact time of attack in advance.
Li Qing was able to tell Kishibe Rohan the exact time of action because Kishibe Rohan told him this information in the past.
This is just the simplest example:
It proves that time is a cycle.
I don’t know where it begins and where it ends.
Whether it is Li Qing or Kishibe Rohan, they are actually just following the established trajectory of the time cycle.
So, what really defeated Diavolo was:
“It’s fate…”
“It’s the fate that has already been determined!”
Diablo collapsed, despaired, and went crazy.
In principle, he is not fighting an equal enemy at all.
His enemy is God, destiny, the whole world, and the script that was written long ago.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning exploded in Diavolo’s mind.
A long-lost memory suddenly came to mind.
That memory is actually not that long ago.
If calculated based on “now” time, it was only about 2 hours ago.
At that time, in the dark alleys of Naples, a certain sculpture artist told him with his life:
“This is fate.”
“All of us are just slaves of fate.”
“……”
“No…no!”
“I am not willing to accept it!!”
Diablo roared hysterically:
“I clearly have the power to defeat fate…”
“I don’t want to die, I don’t want to lose to this ridiculous fate!”
“Yes, Ouroboros…I have activated Ouroboros!”
Looking at his disintegrating body, he roared incoherently:
“I am invincible in the virtual state.”
“And when the virtualization is completely completed, I can go back to the past through the long river of time, yes, back to the past!”
“I want to keep going back and forth between the past and the past-“
“I can have enough time in the past to live on a journey through time forever and never come back!”
Diablo completely lost the courage to face Lee Sin.
In other words, he no longer dared to face that desperate fate.
He even wanted to hide in the past and “live out his old age” in the infinite time superimposed hour by hour.
“Are you still resisting fate…”
“It seems you still don’t understand it at all, Diavolo.”
“It’s useless what you do – because you have lost now.”
“Just now, after that big explosion, you have already provoked an extremely dangerous existence.”
Li Qing sighed helplessly.
Then, he stretched out his hand to point Diavolo in a direction:
“See for yourself.”
“It’s time to remember some forgotten memories.”
“What?”
Diablo’s madness suddenly stopped.
With an unspeakable horror, he looked in the direction of Li Qing’s finger.
The first thing that came into view was a piece of ruins, with some fire waves that had not dissipated.
The powerful explosion just now seemed to have shattered one wall of the warehouse, allowing the scene outside the warehouse to see through without any obstruction.
So, Diavolo can see clearly at this moment:
Outside the warehouse, a familiar car was parked.
In that car, there was a familiar young man sitting.
Diablo saw the boy with bright pink hair.
Through the blazing firelight, the pink-haired boy also saw him.
