At Joe's command, two black luxury cars pulled up in front of Xia Yan's house, and the SPW Foundation's medical team moved into Xia Yan's home to take care of Holly's daily life.
The Egyptian Hanging Corps was officially established.
Jotaro then took the tarot card, which symbolized the star, from Avdol's hand.
She officially named her Stand "Star Platinum".
Chapter Twenty-One: We Still Don't Know the Name of the Cyber World
"Hmm? Another new person has arrived."
The group of Xia Yans, who had gathered once again in the [Xia Yan Mutual Aid Space], looked with a hint of anticipation at the passage that had appeared out of nowhere, as dazzling as a galaxy.
At the same time, I mentally recalled the background music from Interstellar, "08M31 Quantifiable Connection".
Soon, two dazed young men, Xia Yan, squeezed out of the passage with a "plop".
One of them is dressed as a classic Japanese RPG adventurer, wearing a thin European medieval-style blouse, goggles on his head, and carrying a longsword on his back.
This person exudes the qualities of a complete novice, and generally speaking, such people will die in their first adventure.
I have no idea where this unfortunate kid learned swordsmanship.
After all, any normal person knows that a sword cannot be drawn when it's carried on the back. The swords that need to be carried on the back are two-handed greatswords, which don't have scabbards.
However, it's more likely a disguise, since Xia Yan was a normal person before he transmigrated and wouldn't normally do something so foolish.
The other one looked much more technologically advanced, with someone wearing something that resembled a gas mask.
He also had a mysterious electronic device stuck in his eye that looked like a combat power detector, and a very futuristic-looking electronic watch on his wrist.
However, he exuded a shabby aura and had thick black circles around his eyes, making him look like a typical 007 office worker.
These two people didn't seem to be in any life-threatening situation; it was more like they had inexplicably arrived here. Their eyes revealed a sense of confusion, and although they didn't speak, it was clear that their minds were filled with the three fundamental questions of life.
Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "Judging from their expressions, it seems like they're starting to get their brains."
Pirate Natsuhiko: "You had the same expression when you first came in."
Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "Really? I don't believe it!"
JOJO Xia Yan: "Alright, enough chit-chat, let's share our recent finds. I'm busy right now."
The next moment, a familiar feeling of comfort once again swept over Xia Yan's mind and body.
After absorbing the memories, the two newcomers, Xia Yan, naturally sat down at the round table, not acting like outsiders at all.
Xia Yan, dressed as an adventurer, stopped pretending to be a naive and innocent girl and threw the longsword on his back aside, revealing various hidden weapons concealed on his belt.
He propped up his chair, rudely put his legs on the table, and pulled out a cigarette from somewhere, puffing away.
She instantly switched from a naive and innocent girl to a seasoned veteran.
"Damn it, I thought I was just going to live my life in a daze, but I didn't expect there to be such a pleasant surprise."
As he spoke, he skillfully blew a smoke ring.
Xia Yan, dressed as an adventurer, transmigrated to a world that was utterly inhuman—
Slash! Crimson Eyes.
Born in a remote village, he lost his parents at a young age and grew up relying on the kindness of others. With his decent physical talent, he learned a passable swordsmanship and a despicable skill in using hidden weapons.
Because of his decent skills, he traveled all over the country as a mercenary adventurer, barely making ends meet while also taking good care of his hometown.
It can be said to be a pure accessory, and there is basically no chance that it will become a key player in the future.
After all, the main combat power in the Akame ga Kill! world relies primarily on external objects, such as Imperial Arms and Imperial Arms, and their own strength is, frankly speaking, just so-so.
It's simply a matter of whoever takes it and uses it; there's no real sharing of capabilities.
However, he himself was not aware of this at all, and even felt proud of it, since he relied on himself and could not be considered a freeloader.
As for the other office worker, Xia Yan...
Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "Bro, is this some kind of legendary cyberpunk?!"
Just as Natsuhiko from Demon Slayer complained, the world in which the overworked office worker Natsuhiko lived was practically a synonym for dystopia.
The world he lived in had reached the 22nd century, with extremely advanced technology. However, the living standards of ordinary people were in a very poor environment, with resources concentrated in the hands of the upper class and social classes almost completely solidified.
Moreover, due to the environmental damage caused by rapid development, the earth's surface has been severely polluted, to the point that people have to wear gas masks when they go out.
It specifically criticized a country that dumped nuclear wastewater into the sea.
At the societal level, things are in complete chaos. The country is entirely controlled by large corporations, and the lower classes are even facing the threat of being deprived of their right to education.
Xia Yan, a corporate slave: "Well, in terms of social structure, it should belong to the cyberpunk world, but there are no messy human body modifications. It can only be described as a rather deformed society."
Pirate Xia Yan: "Without Night City, and without cybernetic modifications, it seems to be just a possibility of a simple future world."
Ajin Natsuhiko: "In general, both are considered accessories, but the cyberpunk world still has some development value. After all, the level of development of biotechnology far exceeds that of ordinary worlds, which can supplement the Naruto world."
"Then I hereby declare the Second Xia Yan Mutual Aid Conference officially open."
Chapter Twenty-Two: Recommendation for Direct Admission
As the number of Xia Yans increased, those extreme ideologies had a much smaller impact on the new Xia Yans.
The Xia Yan Council quickly got back on track.
JOJO Xia Yan: "Brothers, I've already started my 'beating dicks' journey. I'm sure I'll give you all a surprise soon!"
"Can you translate for me what 'surprise' means?"
"Playing with memes, huh!? I suggest applying for UNESCO World Heritage status."
With a disgruntled glare at the most mischievous Xia Yans, JOJO Xia Yan said in a serious tone, "I've already embarked on my journey of beating up men, so I probably won't be able to cultivate for a while. But I've already found my own way to go to heaven."
"The Stand has already undergone many changes. After it goes to Heaven, it should bring us an epic boost."
Akame ga Kill! Natsuhiko: "Holy crap! You're awesome, I'm bowing down!"
Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "Hey newbie, why are you stealing my job?! Is it really okay for you to be so shameless?!"
Originally, Natsuhiko from Demon Slayer was ready to fawn over him, but when he realized he had been beaten to it before he could even come up with his own words, he suddenly felt his status in the group was being challenged.
"What is integrity? Can you eat it? I'm a sophisticated pragmatist. If I had integrity, I would have been chopped up and fed to the dogs long ago," Natsuhiko Akame ga Kill! said with a hint of disdain.
Having survived for so many years in that cannibalistic world, he was still able to live well and even take care of his village. The evil deeds he committed were countless, and even Emperor Xiaochuan could not compare to him.
He can be considered the biggest villain in Xia Yan's Mutual Aid Space so far.
If you were to throw his great achievements into the JOJO world, he would be considered a paragon of dark will, and even the Führer would have to bow down to him.
Kyo Kusanagi: "Hahahaha, interesting! Me from the Akame ga Kill! I admire you!"
Demon Slayer Natsuhiko: "Damn it, so... so dazzling! Is this the resolve to forge a path forward even in the darkest wilderness!? But you are me, so by all accounts, I am also the inheritor of the dark will!"
Hokage Natsuhiko: "Good heavens, that's shameless enough, as expected of you!"
The rogue Natsuhiko, who hadn't spoken since entering, slowly took a sip of tea, a serene smile on his face, and looked at the group of Natsuhiko with a loving gaze.
His demeanor was just like that of an old father who had raised a bunch of unfilial children.
Harry Potter Xia Yan: "I've also made some gains on my end."
Upon hearing that there had been a discovery, the other Xia Yans all turned their attention to Xia Yan from the Harry Potter world, as if they had heard Pavlov's dog ringing its bell.
"After more than a year of study and research, I have completely mastered the three Unforgivable Curses, and I have discovered that so-called magic power is actually the same as a substitute, which is a way of using spiritual power."
"In other words, we can directly use a substitute to cast magic. If we use it too much, the magic will even solidify into one of the substitute's abilities, and the effect will be much stronger than the spells cast by a regular wand."
"I've tested it many times, it's absolutely reliable."
Harry Potter Xia Yan maintained an elegant smile throughout his speech, but his eyes lit up considerably when he mentioned the word "experiment."
Considering that his three most proficient spells are the kind of 'Unforgivable Curses' in the Harry Potter world, which people would avoid if they even mentioned them in public, the group of self-proclaimed kind and righteous Xia Yans wisely refrained from recalling his experimental process.
On the contrary, the pirate Natsuhiko and the demi-human Natsuhiko, who were both members of the experimental subject team and had been completely corrupted, showed eager smiles on their faces.
They seemed eager to end the meeting now so they could have some fun reminiscing.
"And I received my Hogwarts acceptance letter! I'm so excited! I wonder which house I'll be sorted into?"
"It would be a problem if I were assigned to Slytherin. They seem to value bloodlines a lot, and there might be a lot of unnecessary conflicts."
Seeing that Harry Potter Xia Yan was saying he was troubled but had an expectant look on his face, the other Xia Yans had already imagined him locking the students who had offended him in cages and using them as experimental subjects.
It's clear that Azkaban is no longer up to his level, and he'll probably be directly admitted to Nurmengard for further studies.
I just don't know if his mentor will be Captain Jack Sparrow or Mr. Hannibal Lecter.
Pirate Natsuhiko: "It seems there's nothing else worth mentioning. In that case, let me and Ajin Natsuhiko discuss the next steps. Of course, if you have any better suggestions, feel free to bring them up."
"After all, we are both Xia Yan, so our intelligence levels should be quite similar. The only difference between us is that we have more time to think."
Demi-human Natsuhiko: "Then let's start with the newcomers—"
"Cyber Xia Yan, let's call you that for now, since we haven't figured out which world you've traveled to yet."
Chapter Twenty-Three: Being Above Thousands is the Driving Force for Corporate Slaves to Advance
Upon hearing the greeting, Cyber (tentative) Xia Yan simply nodded silently, looking somewhat dazed, as if he had already become accustomed to following instructions.
However, I can understand why he's like this, since working in a factory for a long time tightening screws can cause this kind of aftereffect.
Change your lifestyle and you'll recover quickly.
Pirate Natsuhiko: "Because of the different laws of the world, all shared abilities will manifest in different forms. For example, if Demon Slayer Natsuhiko didn't become a demon, he wouldn't be able to use Stands or magic and other spiritual powers."
"However, you won't be able to sense how the acquired abilities will manifest without returning to your own world. Are you capable of casting spells?"
"No problem. Both magic and Stands can be released, and the Ripple and Lunaria physique can be used perfectly."
Cyber (tentative name) Xia Yan answered honestly.
Judging from his current state, it will probably take him some time to get out of this period of confusion.
Clearly, more than 20 years of working-class life had taken a heavy toll on him.
In a society with high technology, low living standards, and completely rigid social classes, working 007 was already a blessing for people at the bottom.
