Chapter 575 Ai Zhe Red Stone
Chapter 575 Ai Zhe Red Stone
Conan and Martin came to Dr. Agasa's house and began to prepare for Vermouth's attack.
In front of Dr. Agasa's house, Conan saw Shuichi Akai waiting outside the door.
The appearance of Shuichi Akai is not surprising to Conan. In tonight's confrontation, the help of the FBI is very important. Of course, in the eyes of the FBI, they are the main force.
But to Conan's surprise, after seeing Martin, Shuichi Akai walked up to him quickly, his expression very serious but enthusiastic: "Joseph Joestar, hand over the Edgestone to our FBI! Only our FBI has the ability to protect the Edgestone from being taken away by Vermouth! And our American scientists will use the most advanced technology to unlock the secret of the Edgestone and use it to benefit more people!"
"What does your search for Qiao Qiao have to do with me, Martin?" Martin immediately understood that Akai Shuichi had already had many extra assumptions in his head due to cognitive distortion, and then he walked past Akai Shuichi without any courtesy: "Let's go, Smokey."
"What does your name being Smokey have to do with me, Conan?" Conan complained like Martin, but he followed Martin obediently, bypassed Akai Shuichi, and entered Dr. Agasa's house.
Shuichi Akai chased in relentlessly, pestering Martin for something called Azer Redstone.
Slowly from Shuichi Akai's words, Conan pieced together today's script: Martin has something called Edgestone, and Vermouth is looking for it. As long as Vermouth gets the Edgestone, she can evolve into a very powerful "ultimate creature".
So that's how it is. Conan understood everything. With Martin's superpowers, today's plot is going to undergo another massive change... Wait, what about the decisive battle plan I planned all night!? It's useless!?
"So can I go back?" Haibara Ai, who also realized this, asked with a bored look on her face.
She, who was originally "our crystal", was holding a fashion magazine, sitting in the living room bored and preparing for Vermouth's attack. But now it seems that Vermouth is more interested in that red stone than in her.
"If you're worried that you won't feel included, I'll let you hold the red stone." Martin went back to the bedroom and came out with a large red gemstone in his hand that was slightly smaller than his fist. There was a golden cross pattern in the crystal clear gemstone.
This Aizhe red stone was not created during today's transformation, but was given to Martin by Ma Yi in Chapter 331.
"Forget it. It's good not to feel involved." Huiyuan Ai shrugged and said half-jokingly, "Actually, I'd rather go back to do research."
Shuichi Akai: Are we going to research and develop new super animals?
"Don't even think about it. At least after nightfall, you have to stay in my sight." Martin said mercilessly: "First of all, it's not like Vermouth has forgotten about you. What if she comes to steal your home?"
Secondly, there are vests causing trouble on the opposite side. It is known that the boss of the Black Organization has broken through the cognitive distortion, but in order to observe his own abilities, he deliberately retained the cognitive distortion of Gin and Vodka.
As for Vermouth's situation and whether she has broken through cognitive distortion, even the alter ego of the Black Organization is still unaware. According to the alter ego, when he last eavesdropped on the conversation between the boss and Vermouth, he instructed Vermouth to actively act against Martin.
Martin estimated that if it weren't for the boss's order, this duel would most likely have been aborted by Vermouth, who had suffered a big blow.
In short, Martin was worried that Vermouth had broken through her cognitive distortion, so he simply ignored the plot and went straight to capture Haibara Ai without caring about Aizhe and Redstone.
But this matter was not told to them until Vermouth's cognitive distortion was confirmed.
"Secondly, I'm afraid you'll sneak out and give yourself away. You have a criminal record."
"When did I have a criminal record?" Huiyuan Ai was unconvinced: "What criminal record?"
"A criminal record for being a suicide truck."
Haibara Ai thought Martin was talking about the last time she "cleverly" persuaded Suzuki Sonoko to change her hairstyle, so she snorted in anger and stopped talking.
Here, Akai Shuichi saw Martin take out the Edge Redstone and asked for it again: "Only our FBI can protect the Edge Redstone! America's technology is the best in the world!"
However, after some bargaining, they finally reached a consensus: the Edger redstone would be in Martin's hands first, but Martin would stay in the FBI base so that the FBI could protect the redstone.
Martin knew that according to the glorious tradition of Meilijian, after arriving at the FBI base, it would be the FBI that helped protect the redstone, and once Vermouth was driven away, it would be the FBI that would snatch the redstone from him.
But he didn't care and readily agreed. Firstly, if they treated Dr. Agasa's house as a battlefield, it would be destroyed; secondly, after today was over, would the FBI still remember what to steal?
Not only Martin and Conan, but also Professor Agasa and Haibara Ai followed Akai Shuichi and went to the FBI base together.
When proposing to take Haibara Ai to the FBI base, there was obviously something wrong with Akai Shuichi's expression.
Shuichi Akai never informed the FBI about the Miyano sisters, and tried his best to avoid contact between the FBI and the Miyano sisters.
But now in order to protect Edge and Red Stone, he had to take Joseph Joestar and Edge and Red Stone to the FBI base together. And in order to prevent the remaining people from being taken hostage by Vermouth, bringing Miyano Shiho and Dr. Agasa to the FBI base was the best option.
Wait... Why did I prevent them from contacting the FBI? Vermouth? Vermouth's target is Edger Redstone... No, is her target Edger Redstone or Miyano Shiho? Will Miyano Shiho be targeted by Vermouth?
Because in the Hara Jiaming incident, Shuichi Akai already had the guess that "the pretty boy has the ability to disguise himself and others and make them have the same abilities as the disguised object", his cognitive distortion is no longer so solid.
At this moment, logic and emotion conflicted, and Akai Shuichi felt something was wrong.
Where did the pretty boy go... No, who is Joestar? Who is Martin? ...Martin Joseph Joestar?
But time waits for no one, and Shuichi Akai had to suppress the confusion in his heart and prioritize bringing Aizhe Red Stone back to the FBI base.
"Someone is watching us secretly." Martin reminded after getting in the car.
Shuichi Akai had already known this: "It's the Black Organization's zombies. Otherwise, why do you think I was waiting for you at your door? I wanted to do it for the organization to see. I wanted to tell Vermouth openly that the FBI had taken the Edge Red Stone. I'm not afraid that she won't take the bait."
Conan: Who? A zombie?
"It's the lower-level followers created by vampires." Martin casually explained the setting to Conan, who was not a JO fan. Conan didn't seem to notice that today's transformation was into a character in the second part of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" "Battle Tide", that is, Joetsu.
"vampire?"
"Remember DIO?"
Conan finally couldn't hold it anymore: "Are you saying that the vampire who can stop time today is on the side of the Black Organization?"
"Unless the plot is Eye of Heaven or Araki Manor, the probability of DIO on the other side is zero."
Shuichi Akai, who was driving in front, looked back and found that he could not understand what the people behind him were saying.
...The FBI base was not a proper base either. It was a three-story building facing the street, similar to the Mori family's. It looked a bit shabby. The first floor used to be a convenience store, the second floor was a warehouse, and the third floor was a residence. Now the FBI bought the entire building through a middleman.
Waiting for them at the door was Judy Stelling, who had left Teitan High School for some time: "Hey, Cool kid, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Teacher Judy." Conan greeted her obediently.
"Ah, and you, the special little lady." Judy saw Haibara Ai. She didn't know Haibara's true identity. Her impression of Haibara Ai came from the previous bus hijacking case. On that day, Haibara Ai was possessed by Martin, and her outward appearance was that of a social terrorist.
Afraid that Huihara Ai wouldn't recognize Judy, Martin squatted down and whispered in Huihara Ai's ear in a voice that everyone could hear: "My cousin's ex-girlfriend."
When Shuichi Akai heard this, his eyelids jumped, and he wondered how he knew about this.
As for Judy, she still thought that Miyano Akemi was dead, and she was still thinking about renewing her relationship with Akai Shuichi. When she heard Martin's words, she treated it as an embarrassing thing and became shy.
And Akai Shuichi, who was standing by, felt extremely embarrassed.
He was also very glad that Mingmei went to the Halloween party to play Martin, otherwise if Mingmei and Judy met and Joseph Joestar pointed out this matter, the scene would be extremely awkward.
"Hello, I'm Huihara Ai."
A special switch suddenly turned on in Haibara Ai's heart. Although she couldn't turn into a social terrorist like Martin, she could still greet people cheerfully like an ordinary child.
She smiled at Judy and said, "I think Judy, you and Akai-san are a perfect match. Why did you break up? Is Akai-san a scumbag who abandoned you in the end?"
Akai Shuichi: "..."
"Do you think they're a good match too?" Judy held her face in her hands and said in a half-serious, half-fake, shy and happy tone, then secretly glanced at Akai Shuichi.
After all, Judy is an FBI investigator. It is impossible for her to be so stupid as to tell the reason for the breakup. She simply pretended not to hear the second half of Haibara Ai's question.
Haibara Ai didn't care, she was just happy to see Judy like this, and to give Akai Shuichi a headache - you'd better go with your old lover, don't get close to my sister!
Then Judy looked at Martin: "Oh, this gentleman is really very tall and very strong!"
The next second, her eyes fell purposefully on the Edger Red Stone that Martin wore as a necklace in front of his neck: "I guess this must be the Edger Red Stone? Can I take a look?"
As she spoke, Judy reached out to touch the red stone.
However, before she could touch it, something like an electric arc suddenly burst out from the red stone in front of Martin's neck, and Judy was so scared that she quickly retracted her hand.
"I'm sorry, miss, you have to buy it before you can move." Martin grinned and said frivolously.
In the original work, although the Edge Redstone was repeatedly fought over by the Pillars and the German army, its role on Joetsu and Lisa-Lisa was very subtle. It was not until the final decisive battle that it was inadvertently revealed to be a wonderful ripple amplifier. After giving Joetsu a moment's respite, Kaz was sent to the outer sky by the will of the Earth to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
In this case, it actually did not play a decisive role.
However, for Martin, if he had known that redstone was a ripple amplifier, he would have simply worn it on his body at all times. Using it as a weapon in battle would also be a good choice. It could also make up for the shortcomings of Qiao Er's short ripple training time and shallow skills.
Afterwards, Judy and Dr. Agasa greeted each other and invited everyone in.
There aren't many people in this FBI base. Besides Shuichi Akai and Judy, there's another senior investigator, an old man, 'Sheriff Black'. Martin was a good friend of him when he transformed into the God of War in the Furniture City.
Apart from these, there were only five ordinary FBI officers left, and the only weapons they carried were pistols. After all, this group of people entered Japan through informal channels, and weapons were not easy to get.
However, to deal with the Pillars, you don't need any heavy weapons. Those high-power ultraviolet spotlights arranged in a row are the secret weapons that make the FBI so proud.
Because the Pillars, like vampires and zombies, cannot be exposed to the sun. The difference is that the latter two will be directly destroyed when exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet light. The Pillars can persist for a period of time and use their unique petrification ability to turn themselves into a dormant stone statue to resist the sun.
The reason why Kaz, the leader of the Pillar Men, is looking for the Edgestone is to use it to become the ultimate creature, get rid of this weakness, stand freely under the sun, and make friends with the sun.
……
Shizuoka, port of Yokohama Port.
The receptionist of the party politely said to every 'monster' who came to the party: "Please register your name and your monster type here."
There are many monsters standing in front of the ghost ship, and they are of various types. They are all fans who want to participate in the filming of the movie. In order to be selected by the director, they start to perform their roles hard from here on.
For example, there is a werewolf. No matter what Kogoro Mouri says to him, he doesn't answer, but just keeps playing the recording of wolf howling.
There is also a Miss Medusa. When she turned around and talked to Kogoro Mouri, all the prop snakes on her head moved, looking like real snakes.
"I'm Kogoro Maori, and I'm a vampire." In Maori Maori's opinion, playing a vampire doesn't require so much role baggage. When boarding the plane, he said to the receptionist: "That is Count Dracula, blah blah blah~ Let me suck your blood!"
The next person to register after Maori Kogoro was Miyano Akemi. She and the rabbit she held in one hand, as well as Xiaolan and Sonoko, were all dressed up as little ghosts on white sheets: "I'm Martin, and this is my companion Rabbit, we are ghosts."
"Ouch!" Yuanzi cried out softly. She had just been pushed by someone: "Don't push, it will be your turn soon."
“Sorry.” A person standing behind Sonoko, who looked very qualified to be a zombie, spoke slowly after a few seconds: “I was too impatient, hehe.”
Yuanzi suddenly smelled a strong stench, which seemed to come from the rotten flesh on the other person's face that seemed to be melting and crumbling.
"Hey, what kind of monster are you playing?"
"Hehehehe..." The zombie said proudly in a low voice: "I am a zombie..."
