However, Joseph ignored Shinazugawa's threat and carefully examined the Demon Slayer Corps members in front of him. Although he already had a basic understanding of them, Joseph still preferred to see them with his own eyes.
Needless to say, Jotaro Kujo, the most eye-catching man standing in the middle, with his 1.95-meter height and invincible aura, constantly attracted Joseph's attention.
Behind Jotaro Kujo are several masked members of the Demon Slayer Corps in uniform; they are likely just background figures, extras, not main characters.
The six men and women wearing haori on either side of him should be the pillars mentioned by the three women; their husbands might be inside.
The Flame Pillar with orange-red hair, the Love Pillar with pink hair, and the Mist Pillar who was staring blankly stood to Jotaro's right at this moment.
The Wind Pillar with a fierce look, the Water Pillar who seems a bit withdrawn, and the only two female Insect Pillars are located to Jotaro's left.
The fact that they dispatched six Pillars at once, along with Jotaro Kujo, with such a luxurious lineup, means they've found the Demon King's hiding place, doesn't it?
"Um... sir, this place is not safe. Please go home as soon as possible."
The red-haired boy spoke up. He was also standing behind Jotaro, accompanying him, but because he was a child, Joseph didn't pay much attention to him.
It wasn't until he spoke that Joseph turned his gaze to him, carefully scrutinizing everyone and their expressions.
Joseph pointed his index finger at the crowd and said, "Ahem, although I also really want to go home and reunite with Grandma Elena, and the Demon Slayer Corps is ultimately not really related to me, but... may I ask a question, a very important question."
"That is... why are there demons within the Demon Slayer Corps?"
"Red-haired kid, those two guys next to you, are they ghosts? Although I've only seen a ghost once, my Ripple has already memorized the aura of this kind of ghost. This stench is definitely it."
Despite his frivolous attitude, Joseph's words immediately drew the attention of the Demon Slayer Corps and Jotaro Kujo.
Shinazugawa, the Wind Pillar, looked fierce and was about to draw his sword, but before he could say anything more, the demon Joseph had pointed at became dissatisfied and angrily shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you saying, you ugly monster!"
"Where is Lady Tamayo's body that stinks? How dare you insult Lady Tamayo, I will absolutely..."
"Yushiro!! Stop talking." Interrupting the white-haired man's speech, the female ghost named Tamayo clenched her fist, but quickly relaxed it again.
She looked around in despair. This collaboration with the Demon Slayer Corps was yet another repeat of the same mistake. People who have been hurt by demons will never trust demons again.
That's right, the internal argument within the Demon Slayer Corps that Joseph just overheard was between him and Yushiro.
The Wind Pillar, who utterly loathed demons, wouldn't listen to any of Tamayo's explanations and even tried to attack her several times. If it weren't for the man in the middle, he and Yushiro would probably have already died under the Wind Pillar's blade.
The other Pillars and Demon Slayer Corps members around them, though they didn't say anything on the surface, kept staring at him and Yushiro the whole way, and anyone could see the hostility in their eyes.
Even with Kagaya Ubuyashiki's orders, most of the Demon Slayer Corps members were unwilling to trust Tamayo. The only person who trusted her was a child who had only recently joined the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Grandma Elena? Ripple?"
Upon hearing these two keywords, Jotaro Kujo, who had initially only felt that Joseph was somewhat strange and familiar, stared intently at Joseph's face.
He looked somewhat familiar, but Jotaro was certain he had never seen this young man before.
"Hmph, even without this woman, we could still enter the Infinite Castle. My lord, you really went to unnecessary trouble this time. Now even outsiders misunderstand that the Demon Slayer Corps is having an affair with demons."
The Wind Pillar cursed under his breath. His hatred of evil made him reject all demons, even though Tamayo and Yushiro were demons who had broken away from Muzan Kibutsuji and did not eat people.
"Yakamashi!"
Seeing that the Wind Pillar wanted to continue their verbal sparring, Jotaro Kujo told him to shut up and pointed at the Wind Pillar, yelling, "It's because of you that we've been delayed for so long!"
He then addressed the Pillars: "And you all, I don't know what hatred you have for demons, but I, Jotaro Kujo, have always upheld a principle."
"There's an old saying from the neighboring ancient country: 'Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor.' If you have a grudge, go find that bastard named Muzan Kibutsuji, instead of pointing fingers at a woman here!"
He spoke almost angrily to everyone, feeling extremely irritated. He was not suited to be a leader, and Kagaya Ubuyashiki had entrusted him with the task of defeating Muzan.
If it weren't for his promise to help the Insect Pillar eliminate her enemies, he would never have wanted to come to this place.
"And you! If you're an ordinary person, don't meddle in other people's business. If you're not, then explain your purpose clearly."
Jotaro Kujo stepped forward, pointed at Joseph, and scolded him. Joseph merely frowned, and then... a golden ripple flashed.
"What?!" The golden power shot towards Jotaro from the ground with lightning speed, accompanied by Joseph's flippant voice.
"Hey, Jotaro Kujo, right? I, JOJO, have heard of you. It's said you're a man possessed by an evil spirit. So... can you stop this attack?"
A ripple, as fast as lightning, shot towards Jotaro, but the next moment, a fist slammed into the ground, interrupting the transmission of the ripple.
Platinum Star's robust physique appeared before Joseph's eyes. His height of over two meters and his muscular build suddenly made Joseph feel that his Hermit Purple was no longer appealing.
"Ola——"
Grabbing a nearby rock, Star Platinum, like a standard pitcher, hurled it at Joseph's forehead.
This startled the audience outside the light screen and the members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Just how powerful Star Platinum was, she was trying to kill Joseph.
Seeing this, Joseph did not continue to probe. He instantly lashed out with the thorns of the Hermit Purple, and the ripples attached to the Hermit Purple made it incredibly hard, directly splitting the stone in the air in two.
"That...that is?" The moment Hermit Purple appeared, Jotaro Kujo's eyes widened, staring intently at the Stand on Joseph's wrist.
Joseph, however, opened his palms as if nothing had happened, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said:
"Oh dear, what a hot-tempered young man. If I didn't have some skills, you would be a murderer by now."
Actually... that rock just now flew past the side of his head and wouldn't have hit him at all.
Like herself, the man in front of her was also testing her, only his method was somewhat aggressive.
If the evil spirit next to him had missed even slightly, and he didn't happen to have an ability like the Hermit's Purple, he probably would have lost his head.
Or is it that the evil spirit's accuracy far surpasses that of the Hermit's Purple, allowing Jotaro to use such a reckless method of probing?
"Let me guess, your name... it's not Joseph Joestar, is it?"
If you eliminate ten thousand impossibilities, the one that remains, no matter how outrageous or unbelievable, is the correct answer.
She calls Elena's great-great-grandmother "Grandma," possesses the Ripple power specifically for dealing with evil spirits, and has a Stand that can never be faked.
Through gradual comparison, the image of the elderly Joseph in Jotaro Kujo's eyes begins to overlap with his current younger self...
Chapter 147 The Demon Slayer Corps Invades the Infinity Castle
"???"
Joseph was completely dumbfounded.
He looked at Jotaro Kujo with a puzzled expression, as if he had seen a ghost.
He knew Jotaro Kujo's name because the female ninja and Upper Moon Six had mentioned it before.
But how did Jotaro Kujo guess his name? Could it be that he has some kind of prophetic ability? He was just testing him once, and that's how he guessed his name.
"Wow, this is truly... an indescribable feeling."
If we were to ask who has the most complicated feelings right now, it would undoubtedly be Jotaro Kujo.
Joseph's behavior clearly indicated that he was not familiar with him. How was he supposed to introduce himself and tell Joseph, "Am I your future grandson?"
That's obviously impossible. Putting aside whether Joseph would believe it or not, Jotaro Kujo would feel incredibly awkward calling a young man an old man.
"Wait, Mr. Kujo, I need to interrupt your conversation."
Just as Jotaro was thinking about how to explain, Tamayo said with a serious expression, pointing in a direction:
"There... there's a very strong ghostly aura there. It's from the Infinite City. The passage to the Infinite City has been opened. Someone entered the Infinite City before us!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone hurriedly looked in the direction that Tamayo was looking, but of course, they couldn't see anything.
Upon hearing this, Jotaro Kujo immediately became alert.
As we all know, besides the Demon Slayer Corps, who else could break through and enter the Infinity Castle?
There's only one answer, and that's right... Dior!
Speaking of which, Dio is also a vampire, and he's essentially the same as Muzan Kibutsuji.
"Let's go. Whatever grudges we have, we can deal with them after we see Muzan Kibutsuji."
Jotaro Kujo gazed at the sky, where the long, dark night was dotted with stars. He knew that once Japan became industrialized, such a sight would be gone forever.
The moon is directly overhead, which looks good. Judging by the time, the sun will rise soon.

Light screen image bullet comments——
Er Qiao: "I never expected that when we met, my grandson would not recognize me."
Joseph, suppressing a laugh during his trip to Egypt, noted that Jotaro's surprised and bewildered expression was not something one could easily witness.
However, to be fair, Jotaro, though he doesn't say it outright, actually does show some respect for his elder.
He truly lives up to his reputation as a descendant of the Joestar family, a man who has inherited the fine traditions of the Joestar clan.
Kurumi Tokisaki: "Did Joseph lose to Jotaro in a contest of strategy and intelligence? After all, he's a strategist."
Conan: "Uh, it's just a matter of information asymmetry, but with Joseph's intelligence, I have a feeling that he's already close to guessing Jotaro's identity."
Bishop of Destiny: "Like the Kaslana family, the Joestar family also has typical characteristics, such as the star mark on their backs and the connection in their bloodline. These things connect them and even Dio."
.........
Inside the Infinity Castle, the Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, who were new to the castle, couldn't help but gape in astonishment.
His expression was clearly one of shock; the scattered architectural structures inside the Infinite City resembled the palaces where emperors lived in ancient times.
Muzan Kibutsuji... He allowed those demons to kill wantonly outside, while he himself lived like an emperor.
The stark contrast caused the Pillars' adrenaline to surge, and each of them wished they could tear Muzan Kibutsuji to pieces right then and there.
Their gaze shifted to the ground, where countless bloodstains and mangled corpses presented a scene resembling hell before the pillars.
Combined with the magnificent scenery of the Infinity Castle, the Demon Slayer Corps members couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Even the usually arrogant and domineering Wind Pillar remained silent. He was a hateful ghost who wished he could slaughter all the evil ghosts in the world.
However... the way these ghosts died was clearly abnormal, with pieces of flesh, human skin, and bones.
This is definitely not the work of a human. Could it be... the Dio that Jotaro Kujo mentioned?
"Hidden Purple, go!"
Just as the scene fell silent, Joseph's voice suddenly rang out, and something seemed to fly through the air, accompanied by bursts of golden lightning.
"Old man... what's wrong with him?"
Jotaro Kujo thought with some doubt. It wasn't that he looked down on Hermit Purple, but in his impression, Hermit Purple wasn't very useful except for gathering intelligence.
In the Taisho era, cameras were a rare commodity, which severely limited the Hermit's Purple. So Joseph's goal was...
