Lee Sin’s Bizzare Adventure Chapter 340: Farewell (End)
One week later.
Morio Town ushered in another beautiful sunset.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell quietly in the west, and the blue sky was quietly dyed with blood-red golden color.
A warm wind was blowing in the peaceful town, and near Dongfang’s home, a car was about to drive into the distance.
Sitting in the car were Li Qing, Giorno, Apache, Polnareff, and the recruited younger brother Nijimura Katsuo.
The story of Morio Town has ended long ago.
After a week of relaxation and refreshment, it was time for them to leave.
“Li Qing.”
Jotaro stood by the roadside and said goodbye to them:
“Have a good journey.”
Having always been taciturn, he habitually maintained a calm expression on his invincible face and spoke simple and polite words.
If he hadn’t been able to hear the sincere emotion in Jotaro’s plain voice, Li Qing might have thought that his “have a good trip” was some bad execution line.
“Haha…”
“In fact, it doesn’t have to be like a separation between life and death.”
Li Qing smiled and said to Jotaro:
“If nothing else happens, I will go to the United States in two months.”
“When the time comes, Giorno and I will visit your home and take a look at your lovely girl named Xu Lun.”
Jotaro’s wife is an American, and he has been living in the United States since he got married.
And Li Qing is planning to help Giorno launder the passion organization and bring it ashore, which means changing careers to earn legal money.
To make money, to make enough money to support an organization, he must use his forward-looking vision as a “reborn person” to go to the United States, which is full of opportunities, to cut a few capitalist leeks.
“Maybe we will meet more often in the future.”
“If we want to invest in the United States, we must take care of the spw consortium.”
Li Qing said very frankly that he wanted to hug his thighs and ask for help.
“Yeah.”
Jotaro nodded slightly.
He never cared about business matters, but was happy to be able to communicate with old friends frequently in the future.
Perhaps because he is getting older, the invincible Jotaro also begins to be vaguely touched by the departure of his friends.
“Polnareff.”
Jotaro turned to look at his old friend who was also sitting in the car:
“Are you really not going to go to the United States with me?”
“Not going.”
Polnareff touched his scarred cheek:
“The United States is too far away, so it’s better to bring benefits.”
“It’s closer to my hometown.”
Diablo is dead, and his battle is over.
This long-suffering veteran warrior does not intend to continue fighting endlessly.
He wanted to find a place to settle down, maybe get married and have children like Jotaro, giving himself a long-lost family.
So, Polnareff simply accepted Giorno’s invitation and agreed to go to Italy to work in the passion organization.
“Okay.”
Jotaro no longer worries too much, he respects his friend’s choice.
Polnareff looked around outside the car and asked curiously:
“Where are Josuke and Okuyasu? Why didn’t they come?”
“Josuke and Okuyasu left on urgent matters.”
“Their friend named Hirose Koichi seems to have encountered some trouble.”
After the final battle, Josuke used the power of Crazy Diamond to repair the arrow that was “exploded” by Li Sin.
The arrow is still being kept at Dongfang’s house, waiting for people from the spw consortium to come and take it over.
However, when Josuke’s good friend named Koichi came to Dongfang’s house as a guest, he accidentally cut his finger by an arrow, thus awakening the substitute.
Later, the calm Morio Town became faintly uneasy again.
But that is another story, the story of Josuke and Moriocho.
“This incident seems to be just a high school student’s love conflict…”
“Josuke and Okuyasu will take care of it.”
Jotaro said with confidence:
“Polnareff, feel free to go.”
“Yes.” Polnareff nodded.
The car engine is also started at this moment and is ready to go.
At this moment, a sneaky figure flashed out from the roadside.
He was dressed casually in a short-sleeved shirt and jeans, and the cowboy hat on his head was deliberately lowered, carefully covering his silver hair and half of his cheeks.
But Polnareff can still recognize this old comrade at a glance:
“Old Joseph!”
“I thought you weren’t coming!”
“Shh, shh–“
Joseph nervously motioned to Polnareff to lower his volume:
“Don’t shout so loud, Tomoko will hear you.”
As he spoke, he specifically glanced at the Dongfang family not far away, where his son Josuke grew up:
“Josuke said he wouldn’t let me near his house.”
“I can’t let his mother know that I’m back.”
Joseph said helplessly and guiltily.
Yes, he is Josuke’s father, Jotaro’s grandfather, and Polnareff’s old comrade-in-arms, Joseph Joestar.
He had arrived in Morio Town four days ago and had recently been busy repairing his relationship with his biological son whom he had never met.
Speaking of which, when Polnareff first saw his old friend four days ago, he was not as energetic as he is now.
No way, Joseph is already 79 this year.
His physical and mental abilities inevitably declined significantly as the years passed.
In Jotaro’s words, the old man’s muscles have completely atrophied and he needs crutches when walking. He had a gallstone removal operation two years ago. He has cataracts in both eyes and a mouth full of dentures. He always sighs and says that he can’t eat T-bone steak. , and his brain began to suffer from dementia.
So, when Mr. Joseph, who has countless legends, came to Duoh Town, everyone saw an old man on a crutch who could not speak very fluently.
Although birth, aging, sickness and death are natural laws, Polnareff still couldn’t help but feel sad for the hero’s aging.
But the sadness did not last long.
Because Li Qing stepped forward with the miracle doctor Giorno in time:
Have gallbladder stones?
Cut it off and replace it!
Cataracts in both eyes?
Dig it, change it!
You have a mouth full of dentures and can’t eat a T-bone steak?
The universal golden experience ensures that patients will have no problem filming toothpaste advertisements.
Changing the problematic area, Giorno also took a look at Joseph’s already aging heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, shoulders, arms, and feet…
Except the brain cannot be replaced, it can be replaced anywhere.
If it weren’t for the fact that older people should look like older people, Giorno could even have been replaced by a 20-year-old version of young Joseph.
In this way, in the familiar sound of “wood big wood big” that made people feel complicated, Joseph was completely reborn.
He looks almost the same now as he did more than ten years ago.
All the aches and pains in his body were swept away, and he completely transformed back into the muscular old man with boundless energy.
Perhaps because his body became young again, Joseph’s aging brain gradually regained consciousness.
He can always maintain a clear mind and no longer suffer from the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease from time to time like before.
“This time I’m here to say goodbye to Lee Sin and Giorno.”
“I have to thank them for curing my disease.”
“I just have to give them a gift back.”
Joseph walked to the car with a smile and looked at Li Qing and Giorno with a gentle expression.
Giorno returned the smile politely, and his natural gentlemanly demeanor prevented him from showing any emotion at the gift Joseph spoke of.
But Li Qing’s ears perked up and his eyes widened in anticipation:
“Gift?”
“Do you agree with the business plan I proposed?”
He had nothing to do these days, so he simply completed the action game to simulate business operations——
If he can’t find a bad guy to beat up in the future, he may really have to change his profession and become a business tycoon.
Just like that, Li Qing dragged Joseph, the New York real estate tycoon, to talk about business dreams and project investments without any problem. All he needed was a ppt to make people choke on their dreams:
“Believe me, Mr. Joseph.”
“Let us join hands to lay out smartphones in advance from now on. By then, you will be the ‘Qiao Gang Leader’ in the mobile phone industry.”
“Let’s discuss that matter slowly after you come to the United States.”
Joseph was also obviously not very interested in business matters.
Like Li Qing, he doesn’t love money at all, making money is just a casual thing:
“The gift I want to give you is something else.”
“Li Qing, I heard that you are not actually a substitute, but a qigong master from the Dragon Kingdom?”
Joseph suddenly said playfully.
“Well…that’s right.”
Li Qing didn’t know how to explain the source of his abilities, so he simply didn’t explain it.
It’s strange that he said it was qigong, and people who knew it didn’t bother to expose it.
But Joseph exposed Li Qing’s lies very rudely:
“Hahaha, that’s not Dragon Kingdom Qigong at all.”
“Because…it was hard to say before, but now…”
As he spoke, Joseph’s face showed emotion of memories again:
“There should be no one who knows Dragon Kingdom Qigong better than me.”
“Huh?”
Li Qing almost laughed at these words:
Although he is a fake qigong master…
But for a New York real estate tycoon who was born into a British aristocrat, how come no one knows Dragon Kingdom Qigong better than you?
“Mr. Joseph…”
“Do you New York real estate people like to talk like this?”
Li Qing replied helplessly.
But Joseph didn’t say much, he just stretched out his hand calmly:
“Ripples gallop!”
Golden light suddenly surged out of the body, as bright as the sun.
“Want to learn?”
“This is the ripple qigong passed down from my ancestors.”
“Your physical qualifications are so good…it would be a pity not to practice.”
“……”
“It actually really exists?!”
Li Qing’s body shook, and he bowed his head:
“Master! I want to learn ripples!”
He suddenly raised his head again and looked at Joseph with red eyes.
“Uh…why are you looking at me?”
Joseph was stared at all over.
“Didn’t you say I wanted to give you a gift…” Li Qing rubbed his hands excitedly: “Where are the Qigong secrets?”
“Are you from 20 years ago?”
Joseph reluctantly joked:
“The cheats have been sent to your mailbox, just go back and turn on the computer.”
“Hahahaha.”
As he spoke, he laughed and retreated to the roadside, waving goodbye to Li Qing and others in a carefree manner:
“If you don’t understand anything, you can come to the United States to find me, and we’ll see you later!”
There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever.
The car driving into the distance will eventually go away.
However, at the last moment when Li Qing was about to leave completely, another old friend came.
That was Kishibe Rohan. He belatedly appeared on the roadside with the sketchbook he always carried with him and a thick stack of drawings in his arms.
“Great cartoonist.”
“You still remember that I’m leaving.”
Li Qing naturally joked with Kishibe Rohan.
He also suddenly discovered that along the way, he had unknowingly gained so many friends with whom he could joke.
“I suddenly remembered something before I came here, so I went home to get something.”
Kishibanaru explained:
“It’s a gift for you.”
“I promised to give it to you before, but I almost forgot to bring it.”
As he spoke, he gently handed the stack of carefully packaged drawings in his arms to Li Qing’s hand.
“This, this…is the original manuscript of Toriyama Akira-sensei?!”
Li Qing held the manuscript in his arms as if he had found a treasure and thanked him from the bottom of his heart:
“Thank you, Roban.”
Kishibe Rohan didn’t waste any time on this gift.
He quickly took out the sketchbook in his arms, and what was drawn on the sketchbook was the cartoon character of Li Qing:
“Li Qing, your story has given me a lot of inspiration.”
“I plan to adapt Mr. Jotaro’s story and your story into comics after the completion of “The Red and Black Boy”.”
“How about it, what are you going to name your story?”
Kishibe Rohan generously handed over the naming rights of the work to Li Qing himself.
This is a very rare thing for him. As a passionate and stubborn artist, he never tolerates others criticizing his works.
“What’s your name…”
Li Qing gently rubbed his chin and said indifferently:
“My story is over.”
“You are the author, so it’s up to you to choose this name.”
“Alright.”
Kishibe Rohan sighed softly and stopped worrying about it.
Just like that, after the final farewell, Li Qing finally left.
The car started slowly and drove forward along this avenue that had been wiped out twice.
Jotaro and Joseph were watching Li Qingyuan away from the roadside.
And Kishibe Rohan was thinking quietly during this parting moment:
“If you let me pick it up…”
“Then, the name of this story is…”
The car is driving towards the sunset on the horizon.
The dim twilight fell, bringing the curtain to a close on the stage.
Looking at this scene, Kishibe Rohan picked up the brush and slowly wrote next to Li Qing’s anime portrait:
“Le Qing’s Bizarre Adventure”
“End.”
The brush stopped, the tip of the pen trembling slightly.
Kishibe Rohan raised her head again and looked into the distance:
Li Qing, who was walking away, poked his head out of the car window at some point and was waving to the farewell people with a smile on his face:
“Goodbye, everyone!”
“See you soon!”
The twilight is getting dimmer, but the bright red sunset is so beautiful.
The sunset may not be the end, but the beginning of tomorrow.
“See you later.”
Kishibe Rohan said goodbye softly in her heart.
Then, he held the brush again and began to paint on the sketchbook gently.
The cold word “end” was crossed out.
Now what is written on the painting is:
“Le Qing’s Bizarre Adventure”
“tobetinued…”
