JOJO, The Escape from Real Diavolo

Chapter 112 The History Restorer

The noise coming from the bushes was so faint that one might think it was a rabbit.

It was a sound that was almost unnoticed, but Bai Jie still managed to catch it.

"The killer should be over there in those bushes."

But when they arrived there, Yali had already run away.

"They got away; it's my fault for not being fast enough."

Bai Jie felt somewhat guilty that she couldn't help Teresa when she was a stand-in for the first time.

"It's alright."

"You think it will be Yali..."

"No, it couldn't be her, she wouldn't do that."

Theresa considered the possibility that it was her best friend who did it, after all, Yali had only been gone for a short time... but she immediately dismissed the idea, because she really didn't want to believe it. How could Yali do such a thing? She wasn't a murderer.

"Can't catch up?"

"Yes, I lack the ability or speed for reconnaissance."

"However, I have a clue... If it's not Yali, then it might come from someone else... Over the past few years, there have always been people trying to get rid of this thatched hut and take over this land, which is said to be a very auspicious feng shui location. But every time, I've discovered it in advance and scared them a few times, so they basically don't dare to come near. I just didn't expect that they would actually dare to come..."

Bai Jie glanced at the burnt-out thatched hut behind her and sighed twice. "As long as I'm inside this hut, I won't die. I can restore it. I have the ability to restore things; I can recreate things from history!"

"Hmm...I think I understand."

Bai Jie's abilities are extremely strong in dealing with Stand users, so strong that Teresa feels that "even if Satan appeared in front of her, he would die without resistance at her hands."

"I...I'll call Yali first...to ask about the situation."

After a brief period of confusion, Theresa decided to try asking around.

Blind trust is no longer an option, because it suddenly reminded her of Chen Miaowen's affair.

"Hey...Yali, did you go back?"

"Ah, Theresa, I'm already on the tram. I'm supposed to be back at the place where we met in half an hour... What's wrong?"

The call was answered immediately, and a calm, steady voice came from the other end.

It was about 100 meters to the left, and Yali, who was hiding in a ditch and covered in mud, answered the call in her usual tone.

Yali was physically fit and mentally sharp. During her escape of those 100 meters, she thought of many things.

For example, whether the other party noticed the slightest movement, how fast the other party was moving, whether the other party heard the bald man's roar, when the other party would call, and whether one's own phone was always on silent, etc.

After making these preparations, she ran quietly in the opposite direction of the villa, without disturbing the trees, while holding her phone, ready to answer at any time.

When the words "Theresa is calling" appeared on the screen, she quickly found a ditch nearby to hide in and swiftly recovered from her panting. She answered the call two seconds later, at which point she should not reveal anything.

But the most crucial thing is what the other party wants to say.

If she says something like, "Don't run away, let's come back and talk it over," then she should be prepared for the worst and be ready to start lying, for example, saying that she just made a mistake and started the fire.

However, he cannot meet her, because the bald man will appear because of that woman and expose her thoughts, which would lead to a fight. But the other party is restrained, which is obviously impossible for her.

Even without being bald, his situation would still be very difficult, because the excuse of making a mistake is too far-fetched.

However, after hearing her reply, Theresa breathed a slight sigh of relief on the other end of the phone. Her voice wasn't loud, but Yali still listened carefully.

This proves that she was not discovered, and none of the things she had worried about had happened. The other party just had a little suspicion about her.

Fortunately.

"...It's nothing. Let's meet up for dinner in a few days. I have some things to do today."

"Oh, it's okay. We already agreed that next time is fine."

"Okay, okay, be careful."

---,

Yali put away her phone, collapsed to the ground, and exhaled the breath she had been holding in.

"She probably doesn't know I'm here, and the bald guy is still inside her body. Although he'll reveal my location, he can also pinpoint Theresa's location. If she gets too close, he'll suddenly pop out... At that moment, I just need to react faster than the bald guy and escape this area..."

Every time the bald man suddenly appears, he will definitely be stunned for a second or two. The change in color is one aspect, and his old age is another. This inescapable toughness will still be reflected in the 57-year-old man who has become his stand-in.

"It's alright, thankfully she's not moving fast, she's probably still in the same place, right? Judging from the sounds on the other end of the phone, she's not even walking anymore, there's no rush of wind."

"But... what kind of ability does that woman have?"

Yali continued running in the opposite direction from the ditch, naturally making guesses.

Being able to nullify one's own abilities, it can't be a Stand like Huang Zhen, right?

After calming down in the darkness, the bald man focused intently, widening his eyes, wanting to reveal the location of his host, Ya Li, as soon as he reappeared, ideally reacting faster than Ya Li.

During the tense and exciting wait, he also began to ponder the woman's abilities.

To affect one's own passivity and change the rules of the Stand is truly outrageous. Baldy thought about it and found it difficult to find such an absurd Stand in the original work, except for Huang Zhen.

"If that's the case... what if she suddenly decides to eliminate the substitute?"

He suddenly felt a chill.

Once the bald man had thought about this kind of thing, he would always feel uneasy.

Although he held a sense of justice in his heart, he also truly did not want to die.

"Then... what should we do?"

Theresa herself didn't know what to do; she just listened to what her double, Bai Jie, was saying.

"I can reconstruct the history of a place from twenty minutes ago to hundreds of years ago, but the arsonist should have left five minutes ago, so I cannot reconstruct the history of the other party here."

"What if we wait fifteen minutes before restoring it?"

"Haha... Actually, that won't work either. I may not have finished. This period of history was recorded starting twenty minutes after I left the thatched hut, and it records the history within a ten-meter radius centered on you."

"As history goes by, the furthest point in history is twenty minutes after I left the thatched hut, and I still have to wait another twenty minutes before I can use my abilities."

"In other words, the history of those twenty minutes can never be reconstructed; the real history begins after those twenty minutes."

"After activating the ability once, there is still a gap of several hours... I was unable to leave the thatched hut before, so the history there began to be recorded from the moment I appeared, and the history will not be interrupted. In some aspects, the ability will even proceed automatically... For example, it can nullify the abilities of certain Stands without my intention."

"But you can't now... and your abilities are quite limited, aren't they?"

"Yes, once I left the thatched hut, its inner self died and could no longer contain my unrestricted abilities. Even if I could restore the thatched hut to its former glory, I would not be able to return to it to recreate history... It's such a pity."

......

History Restorer

ability:

1. Reconstruction: Reconstructs the history of a certain location 20 minutes ago, within a range of 10 meters. This is an active ability. You need to stand still in place to reconstruct and find the history. The further back in time the history needs to be reconstructed, the longer you need to stand still.

Intelligent beings can recreate appearances and states, but they cannot bring the other's history back to the present. However, some vegetation, non-living matter, or even climate can be directly extracted from history and brought into the present world.

The restored history actually refers to a specific moment in time that you choose. The history that appears in this moment can be used for thirty seconds. After that time, the history will disappear, and the ability will enter an eight-hour cooldown period.

2. Invalid: If a Stand user appeared at the restored historical moment, all of that Stand user's abilities will be ineffective against the user for the next hour without needing to be selected.

3. Permanent Restraint: Stand users who have appeared in the thatched hut will never be able to use their abilities against the History Reverser.
