What appeared to be just a crack turned into a bright and tidy room when Lu Ye was pulled inside.
The room contained bookshelves and tables and chairs, with juice and snacks on the coffee table. In the center was a red square rug with a piano on it, and an original painting by Lisztine Schuttner hung on the wall.
Who would have thought that there would be a room with running water and electricity inside the concrete stairwell behind the infirmary?
Lu Ye is no longer surprised by this, but he still remembers the surprise he felt when he first came to this space.
From a purely rational perspective, this is indeed impossible, since extending the stairwell wall back by more than 20 centimeters would already exceed the building's boundaries.
However, Emporio's Stand is quite peculiar.
[Setting fire to the house] —
This is the name of Emporio's stand.
It has no clear human form and no specific attack techniques.
The only thing this Stand can give Emporio is the ability to "use ghosts inside buildings".
[Objects] can also be ghosts.
According to Emporio, the prison suffered a major fire in 1984 and was subsequently extensively renovated.
The location where Lu Ye is currently is part of the area that was burned down during the fire. In other words, Lu Ye and the others are in the "past"—the ghost of a music room.
Emporio, on the other hand, was born with the ability to use "item ghosts".
However, this is limited to its use.
Even though things like juice and chocolate in the room can't be eaten—they'll fall out of your chin before you can swallow them—it's still nice to taste them.
Emporio uses this ability to roam freely throughout the prison, but only in places with ghost rooms.
Jolyne, FF, Weather Forecast, Ames, and others are already here.
The reason for choosing this location is that the outside is the medical building, a public place that both male and female prisoners can enter, making it convenient for them to meet.
The reason why everyone gathered here is very simple.
—Enrique Pucci
The White Snake's true identity is the priest of this Green Dolphin Prison.
"How is it? Any news?" Xu Lun asked impatiently as soon as he saw Lu Ye.
“No,” Lu Ye said. “I heard from other prison guards that Father Pucci would be attending services and sacraments in the prison these days, but I haven’t found him. Although his name isn’t on the prison’s entry and exit records, I’m sure he has already left or is about to leave this prison… After all, his identity has been exposed, and he is injured, so he can’t possibly confront us head-on.”
"W-what? What do we do then?" FF shouted, "Won't we never get Jolyne's father's disc back then?"
“Don’t worry, FF.” Jolyne appeared calm instead. “My dad’s Stand disc has already been sent out. Although he can’t wake up without the memory travel disc, at least his life has been saved.”
“But… what about Pucci?” the weather forecaster asked. “I also want to get answers from him about my memories.”
"So, I guess I'll have to send you to investigate?"
At this moment, a man with long pink hair stared at Lu Ye and spoke. If it weren't for his magnetic voice, one might mistake him for a woman just by looking at his face.
"After all, only you can move freely outside, so it's only natural that you should be the one to take charge of chasing after Pucci."
The speaker is named Narusiso Annasu.
The male prisoner, number MA28050, is charged with murder.
It is said that he has had a severe deconstruction disorder since childhood, and he wants to take things apart whenever he sees them. When he was ten years old, he was seriously injured and hospitalized for six months for taking apart his neighbor's Porsche. He claims that he is indifferent to other people and even his family.
During his university years, he discovered that his girlfriend and Lao Wang had cheated on him, so he dismembered the couple and was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
“No need for that.” Jolyne took out a disc. “A couple of days ago, FF, Ames, and I took down a guy named Spoelstra Max. This guy is suspected of killing at least 50 people. Since the police couldn’t find any evidence of him killing anyone, they could only send him to prison on charges such as tax evasion. White Serpent saw his potential, so she gave him the Stand disc. Not only that, this guy is also Ames’s enemy. He killed her sister, and Ames deliberately went to prison for that.”
"Revenge?" the weather forecaster mused.
"That's not important. What's important is that I filled that guy's mouth and anus with sewage, causing him to suffocate!" Ames said angrily. "And I also got his memory disc!"
“Although we escaped from the scene in time, we weren’t completely free from the connection. We were both put in solitary confinement for a few days, so we didn’t have time to tell you,” Xu Lun said.
“I see…” The weather forecaster nodded slightly. “No wonder FF wanted me to make it rain at the cemetery.”
The weather forecaster looked at the small bottle on the coffee table. It was the one Lu Ye used to store FF. There were still some plankton left inside, which was like a clone of FF.
After Jolyne and Ames went to pursue Spoelstra Max, FF, who lost a leg in a battle with the enemy Stand, used the behavior of the remaining clone to notify the Weather Forecast through plankton. As long as the approximate location is known, the Weather Forecast can create weather to provide assistance to Jolyne and Ames.
"That's all for now. As for the specific contents of the disc, I think it's better if you see it for yourselves." Jolyne gently placed the Stand disc on the coffee table.
It's worth mentioning that the Memory Disc and the Stand Disc are like rubber, which cannot be destroyed by physical means. That's why Jolyne felt safe and bold enough to place the discs directly on the table.
The disc reflected Spohr Marx's memories, which Jolyne had cut out only the most crucial part.
That was a conversation between the White Snake and Spoelstra Marx inside the chapel.
“Spoelstra, listen carefully. There’s a fixed number of souls in a living being, just like the ratio of land to sea is always 7:3. That is to say, if the number of people on this earth increases, then compared to other living beings, they will be gradually driven to extinction... because no matter what impressions are made, the total number of souls is the same. So if there were a way... to let a person have several, or even tens of thousands of souls, what do you think that person would encounter?”
Spoelstra Max pondered for a moment: "Well... I don't know either, but your idea is quite interesting. Anyway, what do you want me to do?"
“I want to give you this bone.” The white snake took out a piece of bone. “I want you to try… with your abilities, revive it and call back the soul of this bone.”
"These are... human bones? Whose bones are they?"
"It has nothing to do with you. Just treat it as the remains of a good friend of mine. Can you do that?"
"But the White Snake... this is just a small piece of bone, only this little bit..."
"I'm telling you to try. Only this small piece of his bone remains; the rest has turned to dust and no longer exists in the world. Listen carefully, I'm telling you to try. If you can't do it... I'll take back the talent I gave you!"
"I know that, but I've already taken action!"
The white snake was stunned. A large piece of its palm had appeared out of nowhere, blood was flowing freely, and the bones in its palm were even visible.
"Waaaaaahh ...
"What...what's going on?!"
Ignoring her injured hand, the White Snake grabbed Spoelstra's collar and lifted him up, yelling, "What have you done! Where did your bones go?!"
"I...how would I know?!" Spoelstra Max exclaimed in a panic. "I was just about to ask you what that bone was! It's moving on its own, and although I don't know where it's gone, I can feel it's nearby!"
"Hurry! Find it!"
As soon as the White Snake finished speaking, she suddenly grabbed Spoelstra Marx.
"Wait, this confirms that his 'power to go to heaven' is real. Although I really want to get back that 'bone' right now, I'll leave it be. I want to see what it's up to first, to be an observer, and then, by combining this with Jotaro Kujo's memories, I can find the truth..."
"White Snake, that bone is moving very fast... It's already reached the 'punishment room,' I can feel it... It's probably been picked up by someone inside..."
That's the end of my memory.
Of course, Jolyne and Ames had already seen it beforehand.
“Although I don’t understand where Father Pucci has gone now, nor do I understand what that bone means,” Jolyne’s eyes were firm, “the White Serpent will definitely not sit idly by. That bone is related to the White Serpent stealing my father’s memories. As long as we get the bone before the White Serpent, we will have a chance to snatch my father’s memories back from the White Serpent.”
"But if that bone is so important, why did Pucci run away?" FF asked.
“Because there’s no need,” the weather forecaster said. “The strict punishment isolation cell is heavily guarded, surrounded by barbed wire, and is about 520 meters from the women’s prison, located south of the men’s prison’s sports field. The rooms there are all single cells, and the inmates are extremely cruel, so much so that even ordinary prisoners don’t want to be around them… The priest can’t go there, in other words, he can’t get the bone himself. Considering what happened before, it’s more likely that he’ll plant his own men in the punishment cell to get the bone.”
“That’s right,” Ames said. “Father Pucci won’t stand idly by. Once his identity is exposed, he’ll definitely hide like a rat!”
"In short, I'm going to the punishment room." Jolyne clenched her fists, her eyes filled with a powerful will.
How are you going to get in?
“Simple. I’ll just make some minor cuts and pretend they’re serious, and say you attacked me,” Lu Ye said.
"Really? Thanks a lot then. I was thinking of going to visit my roommate," Xu Lun muttered.
“But… are we just sending Jolyne alone?” Ames said. “If the bones are really that important, Father Pucci wouldn’t have just left a Stand user in the punishment room, would he?”
“I understand your thoughts, but it’s best not to send too many people in. Prisoners who go into the punishment room will generally be closely watched by the prison guards.”
"But isn't there Lu Ye? He's a prison guard, he can give us some favors, right?"
“I’m sorry to say that, but he’s probably in trouble himself right now,” Anna Sui, who had been quiet all along, finally spoke up.
“I really can’t help you in the punishment room,” Lu Ye said thoughtfully, “because I’m about to leave Green Dolphin Prison. Father Pucci didn’t run away; on the contrary, he’s taking the initiative.”
"Take the initiative?" Ames was taken aback.
“I understand!” Amporio said with a hammer. “As far as the priest is concerned, we are in the dark while he is in the light. Brother Lu Ye is a very unstable factor. What happened in the chapel before probably forced Pucci to actively investigate Brother Lu Ye’s identity. Otherwise, even if Pucci gets the bone, he will still face the risk of being ambushed.”
“That’s about it.” Lu Ye said seriously. “As for the strange things about me that the White Snake knows about, it’s probably only the guard chief. I have to get there before the White Snake.”
“It’s settled then. FF and I will go to the punishment room. Ames, your injuries from fighting Spoelstra Max haven’t healed yet, so don’t push yourself. Weather will provide support from afar,” Jolyne said.
"Just a reminder," Lu Ye said. "The food in the punishment room isn't very good, not just bad... Do you understand what I mean?"
“These things mean absolutely nothing to me!” Jolyne said.
"And what about him?" FF suddenly pointed at Anna Sui.
Anna Sui sat on the piano, legs crossed.
Jolyne was about to say that she shouldn't force others to do her own thing, but Anna Sui suddenly got off the piano, came to Jolyne's side, and used her index finger to pick up a stray strand of her hair.
“Okay, I’ll go too. I’ll take care of getting that bone back and protecting you… I’ll handle it all.” Anna Sui stared intently at Jolyne.
Jolyne didn't know what was wrong with this man, who was suddenly acting very intimately towards her. Everyone else was also confused, especially Emporio.
In his memory, Anna Sui was a person who was very detached from others' feelings.
However, at that moment, Lu Ye's cell phone rang.
He hung up the phone a few seconds later.
"I've received the notification that Pucci just left the prison with the committee. I have to go."
