I'm just an ordinary person passing by.

After investigating the situation, she realized that something might be wrong with the world. Now that she had personally fought against a Stand user and discovered that it came from the world of the manga, she was obviously very wary.

There's also the DIO character design with a white curtain.

DIO is someone who is cautious when he doesn't understand the situation, but becomes arrogant once he does. As a centenarian with the Golden Spirit, he certainly won't be arrogant now, and even if he is, he can't show it obviously.

Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is that both Yukino Yukinoshita and Shiroba should be wary of characters from the manga world intruding into the real world.

Bai Mu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know why we who live in the comic book world would appear here, but the time of this 'door' connection is obviously different."

“I was born in 1988, and this Angelo should be born in 1999, a span of eleven years. At the same time, the linked worlds are not just one world, but also parallel worlds.”

"The 'I' in the manga is a villain, but the 'me' in another world is not a villain. Therefore, it can be proven that there are definitely more Stand users in this world than we imagined."

"Most importantly, we don't know whether the Stand users who come to this world will come one at a time, two at a time, or they may appear at any time."

"We currently have too little information to draw any conclusions."

Shiro's words made Yukino nod.

Indeed, the information they currently possess is extremely limited. Apart from knowing that there is a 'door' that can transport people through time, they know nothing else, and even whether they can bring people back is still a question.

Now, it seems they can do nothing but passively gather intelligence.

"This is such a hassle..."

Slightly troubled, Yukino Yukinoshita rubbed her temples and pondered for a moment before deciding to put the matter aside for the time being. It was too early to think about these issues now; she should focus on how to deal with Angelo first.

“Mr. DIO, let’s talk about this later. Let’s discuss how to deal with Angelo first.”

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her gaze to the unconscious Angelo, narrowed her eyes, and said with a smile, "The news says that this Angelo is a clever criminal genius. He was imprisoned at the age of twelve and raped and murdered two teenagers at the age of thirty-two. He is the kind of villain who can do all kinds of evil."

"Hmm... what would you like to say about such a villain, Mr. DIO?"

"...If it were me, I would hope that he would be sentenced to death."

At this moment, Bai Mu said in a serious tone, "He killed someone, so he must pay the price. That's how the law works. As a lawyer, I absolutely cannot allow any criminal to escape the shackles of the law. However, Ms. Yukinoshita, as I said, I am a lawyer, and I cannot disregard the rules of the law."

“According to the law, he needs to be arrested and tried by the law. As a lawyer, I must work with the police to maintain the stability of the law. Everyone in the world can disobey the law, but lawyers and police officers cannot.”

"Because they are the last to maintain order under the law. If even those who maintain order do not abide by the law, then the law becomes nothing more than empty words."

"Moreover...when law enforcement officers can manipulate the law at will, they are not far from falling into the abyss."

"Therefore, I am more inclined to believe that he will be brought to justice."

These words were spoken with righteous indignation, and even Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help but glance at the white curtain a few more times.

In this world, those with power can manipulate the law, whether right or wrong—that's a fact. Mr. DIO, as a lawyer, has lived for over a century and must possess immense power. Yet, even so, he upholds his own sense of justice.

Is this the only gentleman in the JO family... no, I should say the only two gentlemen in the JO family, the child raised by Zero Joe, and Jonathan Joestar's lifelong best friend?

This golden spirit is truly dazzling.

"So, Mr. DIO, you're not planning to kill him yet?"

"...No, I want to kill him."

Bai Mu shook his head, took a deep breath, and said, "It must be extremely difficult for Miss Yukinoshita to hide a Stand user. Although I can suppress him, I also need to investigate the affairs of this world and our world, and I don't have time to keep an eye on him."

"If he escapes, there will definitely be more victims."

"My momentary mercy could very well have serious consequences."

"So, I will kill him!"

He initially said he wanted to try Angelo through legal means, but later said he would definitely kill Angelo. This seems contradictory, but in reality, it is not.

The White Curtain didn't decide to kill Angelo because he could manipulate the law and rules; rather, he did so after making sufficient decisions.

JO Taro traveled from Japan to Cairo, and in those fifty days, he defeated many enemies, but he did not kill a single person with his own hands.

It's said that lovers are as strong as iron, but the world is as fragile as plastic. That's because Jotaro didn't actually kill anyone. The perfect precision of Star Platinum gives it the ability to restrain itself from killing, which is why the lovers were blown up for three pages and still didn't die.

As for DIO... well, DIO is obviously no longer human, so Jotaro killing DIO doesn't count as murder.

Under normal circumstances, Bai Mu should have tried to imprison Angelo, but unfortunately, Bai Mu didn't have that much time to keep an eye on him. Besides, killing someone like that wouldn't be a big deal.

But... can a white curtain really kill people?

Ultimately, Bai Mu was just an ordinary person not long ago. If the enemy were a monster, he could certainly deal with it ruthlessly, but humans...

Hmm, it's probably best to leave this as a question mark for now.

At this moment, Yukinoshita Haruno seemed to see through Shirobe's thoughts and laughed.

"In that case, Mr. DIO, how about you leave Angelo to me? I can handle it."

She squinted her eyes and smiled very naturally.

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Golden Spirit

"Miss Yukinoshita..."

Shirobe looked surprised, stared blankly at Yukinoshita, then shook his head and said, "If I let a girl do this, JoJo would definitely say I'm not gentlemanly enough..."

“That’s not how it works, Mr. DIO.”

"Although I am not someone who likes to kill, and I have never taken a life, that does not mean I am a good person."

"Although I know what is good and what is bad, sometimes killing is not necessarily bad, so... it's not that I can't kill."

With that 'gentle and kind' smile, Yukinoshita Haruno's expression revealed a hint of danger.

Like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, it may bare its fangs at any moment to hunt its prey.

Yukino's family is in the real estate business, and their influence is so great that even Yukino's father, a member of the Chiba City Council, had to marry into the Yukino family. In Japan, it would be impossible for such a local tyrant to exist without some bloodline.

Therefore, Yukino Yukinoshita wouldn't kill Angelo herself, but she could order her subordinates to do so.

Killing a man who has lost his double would be incredibly easy.

If there were even one extra corpse in Tokyo Bay, absolutely no one would notice.

"But Miss Yukinoshita..."

"Alright, alright, that's settled then. I'll have someone handle Angelo, so Mr. DIO won't have to worry about breaking his own rules anymore."

Yukino Yukino clasped her hands together, and this time her smile was completely gentle and happy, without a trace of danger.

However, at this point, Yukinoshita Haruno seemed to remember something, and suddenly widened her eyes, looking 'surprised' with a look of utter dismay: "Oh dear, what did I just say? Mr. DIO? Do you know what I just said?"

"..."

Shiromu blinked and quickly understood what Yukinoshita Haruno meant, so he laughed too.

"No, I didn't hear anything. Did Ms. Yukinoshita say anything just now?"

——Golden Spirit.jpg!

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita Haruno laughed even more heartily.

After deciding what Angelo would do next, the two stood in this almost deserted place in silence for a moment, and then Yukinoshita Haruno took the initiative to start a conversation.

They now face many questions: Why are characters from comics here? How many comic worlds are linked to this world? Are there other parallel worlds? If comic characters appear, will the Insect Arrow also appear?

Compared to the Stand users who already had information, the unknown insect arrow was the most important.

After all, if the insect arrow also came to this world and was accidentally cut, and survived it, then it would be a Stand user that no one would know about.

Therefore, the situation they faced was still very dangerous, and Yukino Yukinoshita, realizing this, understood that she could no longer tell DIO to stay at the Yukinoshita family.

He has far too many things to investigate right now.

However, when Yukino Yukinoshita thought about the awakened Stand user, she noticed something else.

Why was I able to awaken the Stand user?

"Mr. DIO, I have another question. Why did I awaken a Stand user?"

"There are three ways to awaken a Stand and become a Stand user: mastering the skill to its fullest extent, using the Insect Arrow, or being chosen."

“I know I’m not one of the first two types of people, so I’m the last type, the chosen natural Stand user. But if that’s the case, why didn’t I awaken my Stand ability before, and why is it only now?”

"It's because worlds are connected, and the world of Stand users... Mr. DIO's world is connected to our world, which is why this change has occurred."

"If that's the case, does that mean that besides me, there are other people who have also awakened Stand abilities?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's question is excellent. While it's true that not many people in the JOJO world awaken Stand users through their own abilities, the fact that there aren't many means that other Stand users are very likely to emerge in this world.

If that's the case, then the world will likely experience a period of unrest and turmoil in the near future.

However, Bai Mu knows why this is the case.

Because Yukinoshita Haruno is the chosen one.

Just as a Joestar family might appear in the world of JoJo, inheriting destiny to fight against DIO and being born with the ability to awaken a Stand, there will naturally be people in this world who can inherit destiny to fight against the invasion of monsters.

No matter how powerful Bai Mu is, he is still just one person. He can't possibly arrive in time for every crisis that occurs around the world. Therefore, this world will choose a group of people with good fortune to become the protagonists and save the world.

Yukinoshita Haruno is such a protagonist, as is Nakano Nino.

As for why they are all girls...

Which family drama doesn't feature girls as the main characters?

However, Shiro would definitely not tell Yukino Yukinoshita about this. So she gave a thoughtful look and nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed... it's possible that Stand abilities might awaken in this world as well. Before investigating the relationships between worlds, we need to be careful about those who awaken Stand abilities..."

"This world and my world... are going to be in trouble."

As he spoke, Bai Mu sighed, seemingly very worried about the problem.

Yukino Yukinoshita also realized that they were facing many problems that needed to be investigated seriously, but as a daughter of the Yukinoshita family, she could not abandon her own mission to cooperate with DIO in investigating these matters.

After all, it would be very troublesome if his mother found out... who knows what that woman might do.

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help but apologize.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. DIO. As a Stand user, I should be investigating this matter with you, but..."

"Haha, don't worry about it, Miss Yukinoshita. If our world hadn't been connected to yours, this wouldn't have happened... Ultimately, it's all the fault of the thing that connects the different worlds. Don't worry, I will definitely find out the cause and solve this problem!"

"We will not allow the peace of this world to be threatened in the slightest!"

"I swear in the name of a gentleman!"
