I created a dream copy

Standing in the room, Hayasaka Ai was alert to the movements around her. It was not until a long time later that she finally confirmed that the other party had really left.

"I'm sorry, Miss Kaguya, I failed."

After returning to the store, Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai were talking in the toilet.

"Is this so..."

Listening to Hayasaka Ai's description of the previous battle with Diablo, Shinomiya Kaguya fell into deep thought with a serious expression.

Unexpectedly, even with a sneak attack, they were unable to kill the target in one blow. The ability to predict the future and delete time was far more powerful than they had expected.

It can be said that in the previous battle, Hayasaka Ai's chance to kill Diablo was actually only the very first attack from beginning to end. In the subsequent battles, it was more accurate to say that Diablo wanted to kill Hayasaka Ai rather than Hayasaka Ai wanting to kill Diablo.

It seemed that Hayasaka Ai was attacking the whole time, but in fact the initiative was always in the hands of the opponent. It was because the opponent wanted to kill Hayasaka Ai that the subsequent fight took place. The subsequent development also proved that when the opponent lost the will to fight, Hayasaka Ai had no means to prevent the opponent from escaping.

This time, they failed to complete the task despite having all the advantages. If they meet the opponent again next time, will they still have a chance to kill the opponent after losing the advantage of being a prophet?

Thinking of this, Kaguya Shinomiya let out a long sigh.

It is too difficult to rely on Hayasaka Ai's fighting power alone to kill an enemy who has the power to predict the future and delete time.

The problem is that Kaguya Shinomiya's own combat power is almost negligible when facing an enemy of Diablo's level. Her greatest role may be to be the user of the exclusive driver skill, hiding outside the battlefield to ensure that Hayasaka Ai can always be in a spiritual state, and to shoot two Eagle Strike shots at the right time to broaden her vision.

Its help in combat is indeed somewhat limited.

Considering that this copy is different from the previous one, maybe I can find some helpers in the copy to help me?

In the previous battle, if one person could hold off Diablo's attack, and another person of equal strength supported him, it might be possible to kill the opponent in one fell swoop.

But in this copy, is there really anyone who has such strength?

Kaguya Shinomiya was skeptical about this.

Besides, even if there is, what reason can I use to win over the other party?

You have to know that although this copy is not full of zombies like the first copy, and there is no one to communicate with, it does not mean that they will definitely get help as long as they can communicate.

"It would be nice if we could team up with other players."

I only heard Shinomiya Kaguya speak.

Compared to the characters in the dungeon, it may be easier for players to communicate with each other. After all, they have the same goal, so the difficulty of cooperation is always lower.

Unfortunately, it has been almost a week since they entered the dream space, but Hayasaka Ai still has not been able to find out any information about other players.

"We can only continue investigating the Passion Organization based on the information we obtained during our first two entries into the dungeon."

Unable to think of any better solution at the moment, Kaguya Shinomiya could only make such arrangements for now.

After all, they didn't even know where the escaped Diablo had gone, let alone chase him.

......

At the same time, in a remote corner of the city.

Diablo pried open a vehicle parked on the side of the road in front of him, his eyes unfocused and he was slightly lost in thought.

How long has it been since Diablo awakened his Stand, the Crimson King, and how long has he not been in such an embarrassing state?

The injuries on his body had been simply treated with the gauze and hemostatic drugs that he had stolen not long ago, so there was no need to worry about his whereabouts being exposed by blood. At the moment, Diablo was stealing a car and preparing to leave the city.

Diablo was really a little scared about what happened not long ago.

His whereabouts, which had been hidden all this time, were discovered unknowingly by others, and his position was even accurately located. His face was also exposed, and he suffered repeated losses even in battles.

Diablo was well aware that he was being targeted.

Although there were many people who wanted to kill him in the past, most of them were unable to investigate his information clearly and were wiped out by the Crimson King.

This was the first time he felt so close to death.

It wasn't just one person who was targeting him. Besides the golden-haired woman, there was at least another stand messenger who could detect information and was secretly working against him.

It is obviously unwise to continue fighting alone. Perhaps I should use the power of the organization to eliminate the enemy this time.

But who should be assigned this task?

Honestly speaking, Diablo would not feel at ease no matter who he handed the task to. After all, the other party knew all his information including his appearance. Once he came into contact with those people in the organization who already had ulterior motives, the number of enemies might not decrease but increase instead.

Apart from anything else, the assassination team must be ruled out first, even though in terms of positioning, they are the most suitable people to handle the current situation.

"It looks like we can only let the guards handle it."

After prying open the door and entering the car, Diablo successfully started the vehicle. He did not dare to stop for a moment and drove quickly towards the distant highway.

Two days later, Italy, Sicily, Palermo port.

Located in the northwest of Sicily, it is an important city connecting Sicily and the peninsula.

In a restaurant in the city, Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai were enjoying lunch.

During these two days, since they could not find any trace of Diablo, the two could only continue to investigate the intelligence of the Passion organization. They also destroyed the opponent's stronghold in Sicily on the way and killed many gangsters.

During this period, I did not encounter any Stand users again, but I also did not get any information about Diablo.

Diavolo taught Kaguya Shinomiya a lesson with his actions. There is actually someone who is the leader of an organization but has no one under him who knows him.

Even the person in charge of the base knew nothing about Diablo, the leader of the organization. He was even very confused when he initially asked the other party about Diablo's name. After all, Diablo usually asked his subordinates to call him boss or BOSS. It was only after Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai explained to each other that the person in charge of the base knew who they were asking about.

"This is not a solution. If everyone in the organization is like this, perhaps we can only wait for the other party to attack."

I only heard Shinomiya Kaguya speak.

But if that's the case, who would attack them?

It is very difficult for ordinary people to pose a threat to them now, so the only possibility is Diablo himself, or... other Stand users?

Chapter 84: The Arrival of Diablo's Guards, and the Attack of Kaguya Shinomiya

There is no point in thinking about these things now. After all, Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai don't know Diavolo's character. They can only infer from his behavior that he should be a very cautious person, and cannot use this to judge whether he will attack them personally.

At the same time, they also don't know how many so-called Stand users exist in this copy. After all, Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai haven't encountered any enemies with Stand abilities in their two days of investigation. It's impossible to judge whether Diablo is the only so-called Stand user, or there are many who they just haven't discovered.

"Let's go back and pack up first. We will leave here by boat in two hours."

About ten minutes later, Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai finished their lunch, then got up and returned to the hotel where they were staying.

Since they could not get more information in Sicily for the time being, Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai planned to take a ship from the port of Porto Paramo to Naples, the largest city in southern Italy.

There, there might be a larger base of the Passion organization, and there is also a greater possibility that they hold more information about the organization's boss Diablo.

If there is still no result, they will continue to head north to Rome and Milan to find a larger base.

Although Kaguya Shinomiya actually no longer had any expectations for this investigation, they didn't seem to have any better solution.

To do this, they needed to go back to the hotel to pack up and wash up before leaving by boat.

In this way, the two returned all the way to the hotel.

And in a place where the two of them didn't notice, there were two figures staring at Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai in the dark, watching them return to the second floor of the hotel.

"It looks like these two guys are the ones the boss told us to get rid of, right, Shikaaro?"

A man in white with long white hair and dark skin spoke.

"No doubt about it. According to the intelligence, one of the Stands has the ability to perform a type of attack that cannot be detected by the naked eye from a distance. It can attack the enemy or defend itself. In addition, it seems to have the ability to strengthen the body. Not only can it gain powerful strength, but it can also perform operations such as diving underground."

"As for the other person's Stand ability, it seems to be a Stand that collects intelligence, but I can't be sure. Even the intelligence didn't mention whether the other person is a Stand user or not. We can only guess."

Only to hear another man in blue with orange hair answer.

"As expected, he is an enemy that the boss has ordered us to eliminate. He is really a difficult person to deal with."

There are only two people, but the stand's abilities have integrated attack, defense, intelligence, and the environment. Especially the blonde girl, who is not only a long-range stand, but also has both attack and defense capabilities. She can also strengthen herself and perform flexible combat methods that utilize the environment, such as sneaking underground.

It can be said that this one person alone is already tricky enough for them.

"But even so, we'll still win, right, Scylla?"

The man in white with long white hair turned around and asked.

"That's right, victory will definitely belong to us in the end, Ticiano."

The man in blue, that is, Skayaro, turned back to the white-haired man.

"In that case, let's kill the woman whose Stand ability is suspected to be intelligence gathering before the other members of the Royal Guard arrive."

"Your Stand [Impact] can slowly deal with the remaining person."

For this operation, according to the order of the BOSS, all the guards were mobilized in full force, and they must completely wipe out the target in this world without leaving any trace.

Honestly speaking, this was the first time since they became the Royal Guards that they saw the BOSS so eager to kill two people. Although their Royal Guards were usually responsible for helping the BOSS with some dirty work, they were scattered all over the place most of the time. It was rare for all of them to be mobilized for a mission like this.

The boss even allowed different members or groups of the guard to communicate with each other, and even subtly wanted them to cooperate.

It's a pity that no one seems to have this interest and still chooses to fight on their own. At most, they only occasionally inform each other of each other's progress and position. Most of them are just out of comparison rather than any intention of cooperation.

According to the last communication, it seems that another member of the SS has also arrived in the city, just a few hours ago.

If nothing unexpected happens, the other party will find this place soon, and may even be nearby, so Skayaro and Ticiano are ready to take action as soon as possible.

However, the Stand's [Impact] ability is related to water, so they need an opportunity for the target to come into contact with water.

At the same time, on the second floor of the hotel, in a double room.

In order to prevent being attacked and defeated one by one during their rest, Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai rested in the same room for the past two days, but they still washed separately.

After all, both Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai have the habit of taking a bath, and although the hotel in front of them has double rooms, there is still only one bathtub in the room.

At the moment, Hayasaka Ai was sitting on the bed and waiting slowly, while Shinomiya Kaguya was running water in the bathroom while preparing the clothes that would need to be changed and toiletries.

"Hayasaka, be careful outside. Tell me immediately if you see anyone suspicious."

I only heard Kaguya Shinomiya give a reminder and then closed the bathroom door.

After all, they are still in the copy. Given the situation of Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai, they may be attacked by the enemy at any time. In order to prevent the situation where they are taking a bath and suddenly attacked by the enemy, Hayasaka Ai who is staying outside can only be more vigilant.

(Note: To prevent misunderstandings, here is a reminder that Kaguya Shinomiya was just running water to prepare for a bath, not actually bathing, and she didn't take off her clothes at all.)

"I understand, Miss Kaguya."

Hayasaka Ai, who was outside the bathroom, nodded and replied.

In the bathroom, Kaguya Shinomiya had just arranged her toiletries when she suddenly noticed something flash across the sink out of the corner of her eye.

Suddenly, alertness rose in Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes, and she quickly took a few steps back, away from the pool.

"Is it an illusion, or..."

She was not sure whether the fleeting shadow she saw just now was an illusion or not, but before Kaguya Shinomiya could continue thinking or leave the bathroom directly, a sound suddenly came from the bathtub behind her.

Shinomiya Kaguya was suddenly startled and turned to look behind her.

I saw a strange fish that was half a meter long and had sharp teeth in its mouth lying in the bathtub that was still running. The moment Kaguya Shinomiya turned her head, it pounced on her like an arrow and bit Kaguya Shinomiya's throat with its big mouth full of sharp teeth.

Chapter 85: Facial Close-up and the Notorious BIG

The sharp teeth pierced the skin instantly, and a large amount of blood spurted out, instantly dyeing the bathtub red.

"Oh no...it's...a stand user..."

Kaguya Shinomiya's body was knocked to the ground by the strange fish and she was unable to get up for a while.

The strange fish that suddenly appeared bit Kaguya Shinomiya's slender neck tightly and kept tearing it.

Blood flowed out of the torn wounds as if it were free, staining the bathroom floor red. Shinomiya Kaguya could feel her strength disappearing and her consciousness gradually becoming blurred.

Kaguya Shinomiya was not clear about the severity of her injuries, but as the strange fish continued to tear her apart, even if her physique had been strengthened, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on for too long.

Thinking of this, Kaguya Shinomiya gathered her strength and tried to get up, but the strange fish seemed to have sensed her purpose and immediately increased its strength, biting and swinging its body wildly.

Obviously, it would be difficult for her to get rid of the current predicament by herself.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the bathroom.

"Miss Kaguya, are you okay? I seemed to hear a fall just now."

Just outside the bathroom door, Hayasaka Ai's voice was heard.

"Morning... Hayasaka..."

Hearing Hayasaka Ai's voice, Shinomiya Kaguya immediately realized that this was the opportunity to escape. She immediately endured the severe pain and spoke despite the constant feeling of suffocation.
