Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

"How...how did you know? You've already fought the White Snake?"

"No, it was a female prisoner named Ames who told me. She was also attacked by a stand-in of the White Serpent, a janitor. Although she managed to defeat him in the end, the janitor didn't know the White Serpent's true identity and just wanted to commit suicide."

"suicide?"

“That’s right. His Stand ability is that ‘if he commits suicide, the person he targets will also suffer the same damage.’ Ames defeated him, obtained that person’s Disc, and only then did she understand the White Serpent’s ability,” Lu Ye said. “By the way, the little boy you mentioned is called Emporio. Afterwards, he took me to his ‘space’…”

"Wait, Ames... she has a double too?!" Jolyne seemed very surprised.

"By the way, about this, where did you get the pendant? Was it given to you by your father?"

“It was delivered to me in the detention center outside, before I was put in prison… along with my homework, clothes and stuff,” Xu Lun said. “It cut my finger, and when I heard it was given to me by my dad, I threw it away.”

“That makes sense,” Lu Ye said. “The pendant you threw away was picked up by Ames, which activated her Stand ability. Without her knowledge, she sold the pendant to your roommate, causing your roommate to also become a Stand user… Anyway, you didn’t lose the pebble in the pendant, did you?”

“That’s a transmitter; I’ve already put it in the submarine along with the submarine,” Jolyne said. “So, what are you going to do next?”

Chapter 727 Pass Permit

"Ames got the Stand disc. Although it's not the memory disc, the disc reflects the scene of White Snake inserting the Stand disc into the janitor. Take a look."

As he spoke, Lu Ye handed the disc in.

"In short, I hope you can help investigate this matter. Ames has agreed to help. She seems to have suffered a lot because of the janitor incident and is planning to settle scores with the White Snake."

"Wait... what's being reflected on this disc... the tires of the farm tractor?!"

“Yes, not just one, but multiple discs,” Lu Ye said. “White Snake may have been using his abilities to extract memories and Stand abilities from Stand users a long time ago, and made them into discs. He gave one of them to that janitor so that he could use him. Because there were so many discs, he had to find a place where neither the prisoners nor the guards could find them to hide them. The tires of the tractor were a good place.”

"Wait, aren't you a prison guard? Getting to this place must be easy for you, right?" Jolyne asked curiously.

“I’ll only go if you really have no other choice,” Lu Ye said. “You are prisoners, and I am a prison guard. The fact that White Snake can move freely in Green Dolphin Prison means that he is most likely a prison staff member. If I go to such a remote place, the other party will notice. While you are on your mission, I will use my position to investigate White Snake. That’s all for now. Keep the Stand DVD with me for now, and you can have this.”

"This is... chocolate?"

“In this environment, you need to supplement your diet with high-calorie foods. I will arrange for someone to deliver food to you regularly.”

“Th-thank you very much… But, do you have any leads on the White Serpent?” Jolyne asked the crucial question, “Where do you plan to start?”

“I plan to start my investigation with the men’s prison,” Lu Ye said. “The guy I took care of—Langu Langkula—was a prisoner in the men’s prison. Normally, male prisoners wouldn’t be in the women’s prison’s visiting room unless their Stand ability had a function like ‘invisibility,’ but that’s impossible.”

“Why are you so sure? My dad and I didn’t hear anything outside when we were in the meeting room. When we came out, the prisoner was already dead, but there didn’t seem to be any signs of a struggle at the scene…” Jolyne analyzed calmly, “In other words, you should have killed him with one blow, not giving him a chance to reveal his Stand!”

“I’m a prison guard,” Lu Ye said. “Afterwards, I investigated Langkula. It seems he was arrested for stabbing a female university professor to death. That means he didn’t have a double before that and was recruited by White Snake. If he had a similar ability to become invisible… if it were me, I wouldn’t obey White Snake. I would have used that ability to escape from prison long ago.”

"So... it was the people from the men's prison who gave Langkula the opportunity to come to the visiting room." Jolyne immediately understood.

"That's right. Even if that guy can move around on the wall like a gecko, there aren't any windows that are completely open in the prison."

Not long after, Lu Ye returned to the men's prison.

He looked in the direction of the women's prison and began to think.

The men's and women's prisons were separated by a monitoring tower, and the common areas were on the outer ring road, making it impossible for Langkula to come to the women's prison from the outside.

What about inside?

Lu Ye started from the first floor of the men's prison and arrived at the public medical building.

Before going to Jolyne's prison for the first time, Lu Ye first went to see Ames. He remembered that Ames had also cut her hand and would have become a Stand user if she hadn't died from it.

But when he found Ames, she was lying in the infirmary, unconscious with a high fever. This was one of the few public areas where male and female prisoners could move around together.

Turn right from the north side of the infirmary, and you'll find Factory No. 1 (laundry room) and Factory No. 2. Prisoners with passes can enter these factories to work and earn a small amount of money to buy shampoo, towels, soap, and other daily necessities at the prison store.

That's the key point.

Lu Ye looked at the factory gate.

Outside the factory, there is a revolving door in the middle of a long open-air corridor. Passing through that door leads to the atrium, and through the passage in the atrium, you can easily reach the women's prison.

However, at night, one can no longer freely enter and exit the courtyard.

Those without a pass cannot even open the gate to the factory.

After all, this is a steel door equipped with an electronic lock and sensors.

Once Lu Ye had sorted out his thoughts, he suddenly had an idea.

He went to the duty room and began his investigation.

All you need to do is check when Langkula received his travel permit and who issued it to him, and then compare the information.

Found it...

Lu Ye glanced at the screen and saw that it displayed a prison guard.

He didn't recognize the profile picture or the name.

Could it be that... the White Snake's true identity is him?

Just then, a prison guard with naturally curly hair walked over while eating a sandwich.

"Hey, new guy, what are you looking at... Hmm? Why are you looking at this?" he asked curiously.

“To familiarize myself with the various systems,” Lu Ye replied naturally. “Speaking of which, I haven’t really seen what the prisoners are like at work yet.”

"Hey, what's so interesting about that? Those people are practically burning out their sewing machines for a few dozen dollars a week... By the way, this one's broken."

"broken?"

"Yes, this management system, which was specifically designed for factory operations, stopped being updated two months ago, so what you are seeing now is a permit issued two months ago."

Two months ago...

Lu Ye felt a little annoyed.

The number of workstations in the factory was limited, so it was impossible for all the prisoners to work there. Some of them went to grow potatoes or something similar.

Most importantly, the factory access passes are rotated weekly.

Unless you are a prisoner with excellent behavior, you will not be issued a pass again.

Kolangula is clearly not included in this list.

"Really? What are the criteria for issuing a travel permit?"

"Forget about it, this thing is usually awarded by the warden based on the prisoner's performance each month, but there is another way."

"What is it?"

“Father, if the prisoner prays sincerely and you have his consent, not only can you grant him a pass, but you can also help recommend him to the committee for parole.”

Father...

Lu Ye thought of the tall, middle-aged man with brown skin.

So, it turns out that the people who can move freely in prison are not only prison guards, but also barbers, medical staff, and this priest.

Let's go investigate and take a look.

Chapter 728 Battle in the Chapel

One week later.

Florida State Prison.

Green Dolphin Aquarium.

Afternoon, at the chapel.

Enrique Pucci, the priest of the "Aquarium," the disciplinarian who purifies the prisoners' filthy souls, sits at the table, leaning gently against the back of his chair.

He had his eyes closed, his left hand behind his head, and his right hand holding a golden cross to his chest. His long legs were propped up on a painted oak table, as if he were taking a nap. But strangely, there was a silver disc near his temple, which had disappeared into half of his brain and was slowly rotating as if it were playing a movie.

A short while later, the disc slowly ejected automatically.

Enrique Pucci opened his eyes, slowly adjusted his posture, and sat up straight. The shadows cast by the sunlight streaming down from the dome of the chapel obscured his face, the lines of his features hidden in the shadows.

"I see. So, during the time he was awakened after being pulled from the high seas, Joseph and Jotaro... the chain reaction of the Joestar family bloodline also caused them to awaken their Stands?"

Pucci pinched the bridge of his nose.

Even though he sped up Jotaro's memories in his mind and found what he wanted.

However, it will take some time to understand its meaning.

"It seems that I will need to spend some more time carefully exploring Jotaro's memories. Although I have memorized the contents, understanding the 'meaning' is also necessary for me."

Pucci put the memory disc into his pocket.

Prolonged viewing is a mental burden.

A person can't stand watching more than five movies in a row, even movies with elaborate scripts, let alone a person's memory.

If you were to ask Pucci why he is so fixated on Jotaro's memories...

Perhaps it's because of "happiness"?

Why do people have to meet?

What exactly is human happiness?

The definition of happiness differs for everyone and cannot be unified, much like the Penrose stairs, where you can never find the highest point or the lowest day.

But Pucci gradually came to understand.

Humanity's ultimate happiness is actually going to heaven.

Pucci recalled the first time he met that man.

That man named DIO—Dior.

1972 years.

A city in the southern part of the United States.

At the age of fifteen, Enrique Pucci met a man named Dior in the ossuary. The man was majestic and beautiful, and although he was so young, his demeanor was as if he had experienced a hundred years of trials.

He helped Pucci heal his deformed toes and gave him an "arrow." After Pucci's sister died, the two became close friends who could talk about anything. Sometimes Dio would come to America, and sometimes Pucci would go to Egypt to see Dio.

On one occasion, during an unintentional conversation, Pucci overheard Dio say this.

"Maybe... there's a way to get to heaven?"
