Chapter 311 Investigation, Team Wiped Out
"Who is Kira Yoshikage...?"
Giorno gave Li Qing the most ridiculous answer.
This already absurd and strange world suddenly became even more magical.
"You don't know him?"
"You have no impression of this name at all?"
Li Qing asked in shock.
"From your tone, I think I should be familiar with this name."
"But unfortunately... Kira Yoshikage doesn't exist in my memory at all."
Giorno on the other end of the phone seemed to realize something:
"Li Qing, what happened?"
"You're not in the right state."
“…”
Li Qing was speechless for a moment and didn't know where to start explaining.
At this moment, he was only shocked:
Giorno actually completely forgot about Kira Yoshikage!
It was as if this perverted murderer had never appeared in his life.
Li Qing was stunned for a long time before he finally regained his determination.
The mystery becomes more confusing, and he must investigate as soon as possible:
"I understand, Giorno."
"We'll talk about these things later."
"Tell everyone to wait for me at Dongfang's house first. Be careful."
Li Qing tried hard to keep his tone calm.
"What are you going to do?" Giorno asked confused and worried.
"There are still some details that need to be investigated."
Li Qing spoke incoherently and seriously.
But his eyes suddenly became sharp.
With such a look, he hung up the phone and began to observe the surrounding environment carefully:
Li Qing just woke up at the place where they fought yesterday, on the street next to the tram station.
There must be some clues here that can help him further understand his current situation.
Sure enough, Li Qing soon discovered something:
"That dent in the road was caused by Star Platinum's close-range charge at Diablo yesterday."
"There is also dried blood nearby. It is obviously the blood that Diablo left here yesterday."
"The traces of the battle are still fully preserved..."
"But Giorno's memory of the battle is gone."
Li Qing carefully analyzed the current situation:
"What happened before I attacked Kira Yoshikage yesterday has not been changed."
"The only thing that has been changed is everyone's memory."
Thinking of this, Li Qing quickly shifted his gaze away from the traces of the battlefield and turned to observe the shops on the roadside that had just opened for business.
The shops are open all day, and these shop owners were definitely on site yesterday evening.
Since the battle yesterday really happened, it is impossible for them not to have seen it—
Even without seeing the Stand, the sight of Diablo, twisted and deformed and seriously injured, lying on the ground is definitely eye-catching enough.
Li Qing tried to visit each household one by one and ask patiently, and he asked several households in a row.
The answers from the shop owners and clerks were:
"No, we were here yesterday evening."
"Everything was normal at the time, nothing was wrong."
"As for the blond man in a suit you mentioned...I have even less impression of him."
Like Giorno, they all had no memory of the battle, not to mention Kira Yoshikage.
Finally, Li Qing watched those shop owners go away with a look of vigilance against mental illness:
"Not only Giorno and his companions, the memories of everyone in this world have been modified."
"All memories that were unfavorable to Kira Yoshikage have been completely erased from their minds!"
"In this case..."
Li Qing is more convinced that the instigator of all this is Kirara Yoshikage:
"The fact that Kira Yoshikage is a murderer will never be exposed."
"People who know the truth will no longer remember him, and he can continue to be his ordinary citizen."
"but…"
As he thought about it, Li Qing discovered another puzzle that was difficult to explain:
"If this is some kind of stand ability that Kira Yoshikage activated in order to change his fate..."
"Then why did he leave me as the only one who escaped?"
"As long as I can remember, isn't what he did meaningless?"
This is an extremely important issue .
If he thinks more deeply, Li Qing will definitely discover the strangeness hidden in this "fish that slipped through the net" and become alert in time.
But, unfortunately, he fell into a fixed mindset:
“It’s the ability to digitize!”
"It must be this digitized body that automatically helped me to get rid of the 'abnormal state' and restored my memory!"
Datafication has this kind of hidden ability similar to resilience. The poisonous plot of "permanently turning him into a pig" was automatically cracked.
Now it should be easy to help him restore his memory.
"The digitized body is indeed invincible."
"Even though Kira Yoshikage possesses such a powerful and strange ability, he can't play with my memory!"
Li Qing thought very confidently and fortunately.
And since he is now a fish that can ignore control, he can take advantage of this and launch the most violent counterattack when Kira Yoshikage least expects it.
As long as Kira Yoshikage is dealt with, the world will return to normal.
Li Qing immediately left the Morioh Town tram station and headed to the suburban villa area of Morioh Town, which was Kira Yoshikage's home.
The Kirara residence was still in ruins, and because [the past] had not been changed, the fire that had occurred yesterday morning still occurred.
Li Qing carefully asked the neighbor who lived next door:
The news they received was that Kira Yoshikage seemed to have not appeared since the fire, and they did not see Kira Yoshikage coming back to clean up.
"The house burned down but he didn't come back to clean up the mess..."
"It seems that even if everyone's memories are changed, Kira Yoshikage dare not show up at will."
"Is this guy probably still hiding somewhere nervously?"
Based on the current situation, Li Qing seriously speculated:
"It seems that it is not so easy to find him."
"I'd better go back to the Higashikata family and work with Giorno and the others to figure out a solution."
※※※
April 6, 8:59.
After wandering around Morioh Town like a detective for nearly an hour, Li Qing finally returned to the Dongfang family.
The scene near the Dongfang family was not pretty.
The avenue that Li Qing smashed yesterday and the houses that Xin Hong Lajiao crashed through are still in tatters.
However, the construction team for repairing the road has already arrived, and several road rollers, gravel trucks, and cement mixers have also appeared here in a timely manner.
"The municipal administration efficiency of Morioh Town is quite good..."
Looking at the construction site that was already bustling with activity, Li Qing sighed nonchalantly.
With a sigh, the criminal who destroyed public facilities walked past the avenue that he had destroyed with his own hands without changing his expression.
He quickly returned to the door of Dongfang's house.
Giorno and others had been waiting inside for a long time.
As soon as the door opened, you could see Giorno, Apakiri, Jotaro, Josuke Higashikata, Polnareff, and even the Nijimura brothers who had just joined the group yesterday, all sitting neatly in the living room.
Except for Nijimura Okuyasu who had a confused look on his face, everyone else's expressions looked extremely solemn.
They were all uneasy because of Li Qing's previous abnormal behavior.
The atmosphere was like dark clouds and ink , and a storm was about to come.
"Li Qing, how's the investigation going?"
When Giorno saw Li Qing coming back, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then he got straight to the point and asked:
"What happened?"
"This incident...is related to the 'Kira Yoshikage' you mentioned, right?"
Li Qing hasn't answered yet.
Jotaro then added with a serious expression:
"Giorno said that from your tone, it seems that we all know Kira Yoshikage."
"But we have all checked carefully with each other and no one knows the existence of Kira Yoshikage."
"That is to say, Li Qing..."
"Between you and us, one of us must have a memory problem."
These remarks expressed everyone's thoughts.
They all cast inquiring glances at Li Qing, either nervous or puzzled.
"well…"
Li Qing sighed deeply, his expression solemn:
"Yes...something has gone terribly wrong."
"This is probably the most terrifying and strange ability I have ever seen."
Under everyone's gaze, Li Qing sat down on the sofa with a gloomy face.
As he sat down, he casually glanced at the clock on the wall: 8:59:57, it was almost 9 o'clock.
"it's complicated."
"Let's first talk about Kira Yoshikage."
Everyone pricked up their ears attentively, even Yitai politely followed his elder brother and looked over carefully.
Li Qing thought for two seconds.
Then, he started with Kira Yoshikage's most fundamental identity:
"Kira Yoshikage is actually a perverted murderer hiding in Morioh Town."
"he…"
Li Qing's voice was stuck in his throat.
Because he was shocked to find that the moment he said "Kirara Yoshikage is a perverted murderer"...
Giorno, Jotaro, Apache…
Except for Li Qing, everyone present had an image in their pupils that was very familiar to Li Qing.
"Killer Queen?!"
Li Qing's expression was extremely horrified:
I just mentioned Kira Yoshikage's identity...
Kira Yoshikage's stand actually appeared directly in front of the eyes of all his companions!
It all happened in a flash.
Everyone felt something was wrong, but they were unable to react or stop it.
No one knows what will happen in the next second.
Somewhere in the dark, Kira Yoshikage's voice began to echo in everyone's ears:
"Killer Queen, Third Bomb——"
"The loser eats dust!"
Li Qing's expression suddenly became dull.
He suddenly realized something:
Why did I become the one who slipped through the net?
This question finally got a real answer.
But now, Li Qing could do nothing, it was too late.
"Li Qing..."
Giorno left two incomplete syllables in this huge dangerous atmosphere.
Before he could finish the word "Qing", his body was suddenly submerged in a scorching hot shock from the inside out.
Others were in the same desperate situation.
Giorno, Apache, Jotaro, Higashikata Josuke, Polnareff, Nijimura Katao, Nijimura Yitai...
All of Li Qing's companions disappeared at this moment.
The heat wave from the explosion roared in all directions.
The strong wind blew on Li Qing's face.
There wasn't even any ashes in the wind, only despair.
