As to why... Yang Qinglan was looking right at him.

"Cough, anyway, let's go find these voice actors first and confirm if they've really awakened their 'Stands'. If so, we can ask them for help. As far as I know, the protagonists from "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" may look like small-time punks, but they're all good people," Yang Qinglan said.

"It's the characters in the anime that look like punks, not the voice actors!" Li Qianxia corrected.

"If they've really awakened their 'Stands', it proves they're quite into their roles, so it's normal for their expressions and actions to become punk-like," Li Changzhou had his opinion.

"Hmm, my subordinates say the same," Turquoise Pool chimed in, "if someone has indeed awakened a 'Stand' with the power to stop time, there's no need to worry too much, because Stand users with time-stopping abilities tend to be overly meticulous thinkers."

"Overly meticulous thinkers?" Yang Qinglan didn't understand.

"Against ordinary people, a Stand user with time-stop would kill them outright, but once you show great strength, they will find ways to buy time for themselves, taking the most cautious actions. So, we have the opportunity to turn defeat into victory—that's how my underlings explained it to me."

"However," Turquoise Pool continued, "all this assumes that the other party really has time stop, which I don't believe anyone could awaken such a powerful instinct."

Indeed.

Except for the Stand users with time-stop abilities themselves, ordinary people would find time stop to be an insurmountable power, something that couldn't remain unnoticed.

Li Changzhou both hoped the other party didn't have it and hoped they did, feeling a complex mix of anticipation and excitement.

"Why is our target coming here?" Since arriving in Japan, Yang Qinglan had been pondering this question, "Could that unknown item have the power to deprive others of their instincts, or control them?"

"We'll know when the time comes, let's go." Li Changzhou stood up, looking left and right for a route backstage.

"Wait." Turquoise Pool called out to him, "You plan to just walk up there?"

"What else?"

Turquoise Pool's expression was like that of someone staring at an idiotic spouse.

She beckoned, and one of her subordinates came over, holding a leather box.

With a light brush at the opening of the box, a seam popped open with a snap. She opened the box to reveal four dolls about the size of small radishes inside.

Faceless, ordinary wooden dolls.

"One for each person." Turquoise Pool picked up a doll.

"What are these?" Li Qianxia, the least suspicious, also picked one up.

Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan exchanged glances and took the remaining two.

[Name: Avatar Puppet]

[Type: Item]

[Quality: B]

[Special Effect: The puppet gains one-third of the strength of the original body (not including instincts and items)]

[Minimum Use Conditions: Life Form]

[Introduction: Controlled by the original body; 'Ability' lost after exhaustion, control is lost; Puppet damaged, original body unharmed, no transfer of pain]

[Note: A product of the Doll Box, once taken out, can only exist for half an hour]

"So awesome!" Li Qianxia exclaimed, referring to the 'Doll Box'.

This could be a Grade A item—the Evangelical Book is also just Grade A, although it can be recharged.

The subordinate who had brought the leather case now pulled out several blueprints from his pocket, showing the construction completion and renovation plans of the theater.

"I think you're just like Doraemon, you have everything," even Li Changzhou couldn't help but admire Turquoise Pool's 'wealth'.

"If you wish, I can be your Doraemon," Turquoise Pool closed her left eye, smiling sweetly.

"No need, I already have an immortal wife at home." Li Changzhou looked down at the doll in his hand, whose head had lifted from a limp state.

The four got up, had their tickets checked, and didn't enter the theater reserved for 'Stone Sea', but instead went to 'New Evangelion Movie Edition'.

Settling in a corner of the theater, Turquoise Pool's subordinates spread out, protecting their real bodies.

The four dolls leapt up and disappeared into the dim movie theater.

Thud, thud, thud!

The dolls rushed and leaped through the ceiling ventilation, like four people parkouring.

"That's so cool!" In the theater, Li Qianxia, with her eyes closed, couldn't help but speak out.

'Six voice actors, three makeup artists, makeup artists are leaving, no player in sight yet, target not found.' Li Changzhou heard a phantom voice.

Upon seeing the blueprints, Yang Qinglan had already dispatched a Shadow Cat to the voice actors' rest room.

After a minute running through the ventilation, the four dolls reached the resting place of the 'Stone Sea' voice actors.

"Shall we go?" a man's voice said.

"Yeah." another man replied.

"Fei-chan, are you nervous?" a third man said.

"Yes, very. Can I do a hundred push-ups before going on stage?" a woman breathed deeply.

"You could do them on stage, that way you're not nervous and the audience has some fun too," a very familiar voice suggested, sounding like Kyon from 'The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya'.

"No way!" another man protested, "What if the audience wants us to do it too?"

"I don't mind," Kyon said, "I'm quite confident about that move."

"Senpai..." the only woman hesitated.

"Ah, Fei-chan, don't get me wrong. The only reason I said that was to help you relax. Plus, I'm nervous too. When you get nervous you think of doing a hundred push-ups; when I get nervous, I think about x-rated topics," Kyon explained.

Turquoise Pool's doll extended a hand through the ventilation hole, releasing a faint mist.

The mist, invisible to the naked eye as it left the vent, quickly dispersed.

Boom...

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Five sounds!

One still standing!

"Who's there?!" It was the sole woman's voice.

According to the information, the earlier protagonists of 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure', all experienced voice actors, couldn't have their lives affected by the fame of 'JoJo'.
