Chapter 274

~6 min read 1,155 words

The twilight sun shone into the building, letting Vanilla Ice...

"Go to hell and show off your power there."

When Polnareff said this with his back to the vanishing enemy, countless viewers in the world on the other side cheered for him.

Under the glow of the sunset, a wisp of golden smoke suddenly rose slowly from the spot where Iggy had fallen.

That is...?

Polnareff, who had been kneeling on the ground, turned his head to look, only to see two wisps of golden smoke drifting under the red clouds, slowly taking on human silhouettes.

Eventually, they transformed into the likenesses of Avdol and Iggy.

"Av... dol... Iggy..."

Polnareff opened his eyes wide, calling their names in disbelief.

It was as if it were the final countdown to heaven.

Avdol and Iggy, under the twilight, turned their heads to look back at Polnareff, clenching their fists in a gesture of encouragement.

Finally, the golden smoke symbolizing their souls slowly dissipated under the light of heaven piercing through the clouds.

Inside the room, Polnareff stared blankly at the two wisps of smoke that had already vanished, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

"Was that just now... a hallucination?"

The intense pain from his body brought Polnareff back from his sorrow.

There was no more time for sadness or tears.

He now had only one goal left—

DIO!

That's right, he had to carry the souls of his two best friends and complete the final goal of their journey.

However, just as Polnareff turned around, preparing to walk to the floor above.

His lips, and even his entire face, began to tremble violently.

Large drops of tears dripped onto the back of his hand.

The final shot of this episode froze on this scene.

When they first saw the souls of Avdol and Iggy, many people were still holding on.

But when the screen froze at this moment, everyone broke down.

【There's sand in my eyes.】

【Tough guys crying.】

【Glory forever belongs to the Stardust Crusaders!】

【Polnareff has spent his whole life experiencing loss.】

【Xu Feng, you dog, you have no heart!】

【I only watched this show because I believed your nonsense, and you're already stabbing me with knives after only two episodes!】

After the two episodes of "Stardust Crusaders" finished airing this week, a meme was frantically reposted in comment sections, on TikTok, and in major chat groups.

At the top, two girls are chatting.

One asks, "I can't believe guys didn't cry when watching Titanic."

The other replies, "What on earth is he thinking?"

And below is a picture of a guy crying his heart out over Iggy's death.

It really is true; compared to romance, friendship is what touches a man's heart more.

If it weren't for the hormones in their bodies, guys would actually prefer hanging out with other guys.

The next day, on the set of "Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War".

"Iggy! A living Iggy!"

"Director Xu, can I give him a hug?"

"Iggy, it's so good that you're still alive."

"Come here, I have a ham sausage, let me pet you."

Xu Feng had just arrived on set, but he realized he was no longer the one being pampered by everyone.

It was... the dog following at his heels—

Iggy.

That's right, when Xu Feng brought Iggy to the set.

Hu Ge, Peng Yuchang, and the others swarmed around like they were seeing a brother resurrected from the dead, being incredibly affectionate.

And the young ladies like Zhao Jinmai and Reba were all holding chicken legs, ham sausages, and other snacks, feeding Iggy non-stop.

Although he knew the reason, Xu Feng's expression was a bit strange for a moment.

What is this, a dog usurping the throne?

Iggy was originally a dog that didn't like being petted by strangers.

It often wore that expression of looking down on everyone, which is why Xu Feng picked this dog at a glance back in the United States.

However, when being petted by the young ladies, it actually acted quite easygoing.

At least there were snacks to eat.

Wang Shengdi, that little girl, was quite thoughtful; she was using ham sausages specifically for pets.

After all, the salt content in human food is too high and not suitable for dogs.

Watching Iggy being fed by a bunch of young ladies, Xu Feng touched his chin, and an idea suddenly emerged.

Taking advantage of its current popularity, he could have Iggy sign an endorsement deal!

It could earn a few million to buy its own dog food, how great is that.

As for the extra money... he would painfully help it keep it safe.

"Boss, a lot of people online are cursing you."

The little assistant, Guli Nazha, suddenly held up her phone and reported to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng spread his hands; even without looking, he knew what the netizens were cursing him about.

It was mainly because he had just gone on a show and recommended "Stardust Crusaders" to the masses.

Many netizens had given him face by watching it, helping contribute to the view count.

After all, as the leading figure in the Dragon Country film industry, he, Xu, still had that much influence.

But after attracting a large group of netizens, what was the meaning of turning around and stabbing them with knives?

In a way, Xu Feng could be considered to have brought this on himself.

This kind of behavior made it hard not to suspect he had some twisted hobby, deliberately making more viewers suffer.

But fortunately, while the vast majority of netizens cursed, few denied the excellence of "Stardust Crusaders" itself.

"Many netizens also said that if you stab them with more knives in next week's update, they're going to storm your Weibo comment section."

Guli Nazha added.

Xu Feng: "............"

After a brief silence, Xu Feng decided he would just play dead for the next period of time.

After all, it was Kakyoin who would die next week.

During the week Xu Feng spent playing dead, the new viewers who had just jumped into the pit didn't hold back in his comment section or under the official Weibo of the 2D film company.

But the view count of "Stardust Crusaders" rose higher with each passing day.

It was clear that while the viewers cursed, they were still going to keep watching.

There was also a significant portion of new viewers who weren't familiar with Avdol and Iggy, the man and the dog.

So although they were touched after watching the latest episode, they weren't as devastated as the old JoJo fans.

However, when these people went to catch up on the previous twenty-plus episodes out of curiosity.

The deeper they understood these characters, the more bitter they felt inside.

Damn Xu Feng, why did you have to shape these characters so vividly and then destroy them for us to see? ===== CHAPTER 276 =====
