Kira Yoshikage took a deep breath. It wasn't time yet; he couldn't give up.
He got up from the ground and walked in front of Johnson Joffrey, looking at his calm expression, wishing he could punch him.
"I, Kira Yoshikage, only want a quiet life," he said. "You are indeed very strong, but I will not give up."
"My Killer Queen is not so easily defeated."
Kira Yoshikage carefully observed the terrain. The tombstones in this area were quite unique; most of them belonged to people he had killed.
Before he had a Stand, he was a highly intelligent criminal. Although the bodies were disposed of, they still left traces. But that was a long time ago; these tombstones were for people he had killed a very long time ago.
"I've had a look around. Many of the people buried here are those you've killed, aren't they?" Johnson Joffrey said calmly.
"How would I remember such things?" Kira Yoshikage said indifferently, but his rapid breathing showed he was at his limit.
The setting sun had completely disappeared behind the dark mountains, but it stubbornly cast out countless yellow rays of light—
Kira Yoshikage and Johnson Joffrey stood facing each other, with Sugimoto Reimi's tombstone directly between them.
Facing Sugimoto Reimi's tombstone, the sun was perfectly behind her tombstone, with countless rays of light appearing from behind her tombstone—
And on either side stood Johnson and Kira Yoshikage—
"I've seen it. This is your perfect execution ground," Johnson Joffrey said, his tone unwavering.
Kira Yoshikage lowered his head and chuckled, "Hahahaha, yes, my name is Kira Yoshikage!!"
"Half of the tombstones here are for people I killed!! Hahahaha!!"
"I am the murderer you've been chasing. I started killing when I was eighteen, and I've already killed over fifty people." Kira Yoshikage proudly raised his head.
"You maggots in the toilet, aren't you trying to investigate me?" Kira Yoshikage laughed, saying with extreme arrogance, "Then I'll let you know more."
"My name is Kira Yoshikage. I am thirty-three years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where the villas are. I am not married."
"I work for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what.
"After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a Baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning."
"Doctors say I'm perfectly normal."
Kira Yoshikage said calmly, as if these words could reassure him, and indeed they did; as he slowly spoke, he fell into a state of tranquility, no longer exhibiting that crazed smile—
"I need time to calm down."
As soon as he finished speaking, he even stopped panting, revealing a normal smile as he said to Johnson Joffrey, "Do you know why I'm telling you all this?"
Johnson Joffrey looked at him expressionlessly, not saying a word.
"Because I kill everyone who knows my true name, then I disappear again, changing my identity to become a perverted serial killer," he said seriously. "It's been this way for fifteen years."
"I've always had incredible luck and wisdom. This is my, Kira Yoshikage's, way of survival. This time will be no different; I, Kira Yoshikage, will surely be reborn from the ashes."
"I must live a happier life than anyone else."
"As long as I kill you, Johnson Joffrey, no one will ever know his true name again."
"I've completely seen through your abilities," Kira Yoshikage said, adjusting his tie and smoothing his disheveled hair.
"Oh," Johnson truly chuckled when he heard that.
"You're saying the same thing as the last person I killed."
"Your ability allows you to pause external explosions and then release them slowly. You can also draw threads from other objects, and only you can manipulate those threads."
"It's like the first time you dodged an explosion; you used the threads, which rapidly retract once released."
"My Killer Queen, even if you pause it, it's useless, because its high-temperature heat will continue to slowly release inside your body until you die."
"Is that so?" Johnson Joffrey didn't seem to take him seriously, merely responding indifferently.
Kira Yoshikage was indeed very clever; he had essentially figured out most of it. Unlimited Domain was always meant to deal with Diavolo; when facing Killer Queen, he still didn't know if it would be effective.
"MUDA!!!"
As Johnson Joffrey's words fell, Kira Yoshikage felt a gentle breeze brush his face, and Reversed Hierophant landed a punch on his face—
Kira Yoshikage's jaw was dislocated, and in that instant, teeth, transparent liquid, and blood all splattered out.
"So…so fast!!"
Kira Yoshikage was directly sent flying to the side—
"It hurts so much—"
He rolled several meters away—
He lifted his head from the ground, "It's too fast, Killer Queen didn't even have time to defend!"
While not superior in strength to Killer Queen, Killer Queen simply couldn't keep up with the speed—
Kira Yoshikage concentrated his mental energy, and Killer Queen appeared by his side—
Johnson Joffrey walked closer to him—
"Don't come any closer!!" Kira Yoshikage shouted.
"I told you, I'm getting close to hit you."
Johnson Joffrey continued to approach him, then suddenly appeared in front of him, punching Killer Queen in the chest. But this time, Killer Queen defended, crossing its arms in front of itself—
Killer Queen, despite having A-level strength, was quite ordinary compared to Star Platinum and Crazy Diamond. Although Reversed Hierophant only had B-level strength,
Killer Queen's speed was far inferior to Reversed Hierophant's; clearly, Reversed Hierophant's speed far exceeded A.
Killer Queen could only continuously defend.
"Why does this guy keep trying to attack my chest?" Kira Yoshikage thought, getting up from the ground. "There's only one answer: the string you want to pull out can only be near my chest—"
To pull a string out of a human body, that string must be connected to the heart. Kira Yoshikage cleverly realized this.
"You have to touch my chest to pull the string!! But I won't let you touch me! Killer Queen, defend my heart!!"
"Never mind!" Johnson still looked quite calm—
As soon as he finished speaking, Reversed Hierophant feigned an attack on the chest, but actually punched Yoshikage in the stomach—
"Pfft!!" Kira Yoshikage once again vomited various mixed, unknown liquids!
"You... you... you actually...!" Kira Yoshikage shouted loudly.
"Ah," Johnson Joffrey said with a somewhat mocking smile, "You better be careful protecting your heart!"
Kira Yoshikage's eyes widened!
Reversed Hierophant landed another punch, hitting Killer Queen in the face, then continuously striking its face—
"Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda Muda!!!!"
