To Lu Ye's surprise, the balcony had been sealed off at some point!

It wasn't just that the windows were locked; the outside of the windows was completely covered by a concrete wall!

A Stand user can only have one Stand ability at most; any additional abilities that appear to be different are essentially derived from the original ability.

The abilities of the guy in front of me have absolutely nothing to do with the strange phenomena happening at the window.

Does this mean there are two enemies?!

“My name… is Amadon Sambilia,” the brown-haired man began, spreading his arms. “Do you know… what a ‘poison’ is?”

"poison?"

“When people think of poisonous creatures, they usually think of scorpions and snakes, right?” Amarton said. “But reptiles like monitor lizards and crocodiles are also considered poisonous creatures. Although they don’t look like poison at all, and people only notice their powerful bite, in fact, both of them have a lot of pathogenic bacteria in their mouths.”

"Not only that, they are all ferocious killers. The former are fierce ambushers who attack animals drinking water by the river, while the latter are cruel hunters who, after injecting venom into their prey, will chase them until they collapse from exhaustion and begin to eat them alive. How can such creatures not be called poisonous?"

"What did Pucci give you in return?" Lu Ye suspected that this guy wasn't quite right in the head. "Or did he drug you?"

"He promised me I could go to heaven."

"what?"

"If I consider something a poison, then it must be a poison... This is the paradise I want! You bunch of idiots! Those who judge things solely by their toxicity should all die!"

Lu Ye rushed over and delivered a powerful kick to the Immortal Peak.

Yamadon took a step back, and the crocodile beneath his feet reappeared, leaping up from it, its gaping maw seemingly about to bite Lu Ye off at the waist.

Lu Ye also saw it clearly at this moment.

The crocodile's mouth is not only filled with dense, sharp teeth, but also covered with small, venomous scorpions.

This is a Palestinian scorpion.

Its tail stinger contains a lot of venom. Even a single sting can cause convulsions, paralysis, and death. Extreme pain will occur after three minutes, and cardiac arrest or respiratory failure will occur after five minutes.

These scorpions, which mainly live in Israel and parts of the Far East, were now crawling all over the inside of the crocodile's mouth.

Viper, scorpion, crocodile... Is this guy's Stand ability?

Gray Age reappeared in the air, and with a downward kick from Lu Ye, Gray Age accurately struck the Nile Crocodile's nose.

As Lu Ye kicked the Nile crocodile down, he suddenly pushed off the wall beside him and ran straight out of the ward without looking back or showing any hesitation.

As Yamaton watched Lu Ye escape from the ward, his eye twitched.

At the same time, the dense swarms of black mamba snakes that had been lurking in the shadows at his feet—these small snakes, known as the most venomous in the world—gradually retreated.

If Lu Ye had dared to approach Amadon just now, he would have been dead without a doubt.

This is his stand-in.

—American poison.

Amadon picked up the phone.

"The prey has escaped. Have you completed your preparations?"

"Of course." A sharp voice came from the other end of the phone.

Yamato looked at the hospital bed.

Sometime later, Muca Murat's figure had disappeared.

Chapter 732 The Substitute: C·A·D

After running out of the ward, Lu Ye slipped into the bathroom.

Unable to use his hands, he used his Stand's ability to atomize them into threads, which he used to reach into his storage space and retrieve the panacea. He then found the right angle, fixed it to the sink faucet, and inserted the needle into it.

While the precision of the gray era itself is quite good, capable of catching a hummingbird flying over a telephone pole, when it is refined into fine mist lines and used to retrieve small objects, the precision is only average. And if you prick yourself with needles in this state, the precision will deteriorate.

However, Jolyne's Stand, Stone Freedom, can do this. She can peel her body off in the form of threads, and because it is part of herself, she can manipulate it with ease.

As the all-purpose potion was injected into his body, Lu Ye immediately felt the numbness in his hands returning and the toxins in his body being cleared away.

Lu Ye moved his fingers slightly. Good. He felt his hands had become part of his body again. With the venom of the black mamba and the Palestinian scorpion, even if he had a strong physique, the venom would definitely take effect in three minutes.

Therefore, he did not immediately engage in a life-or-death battle with Amadon, because it was he who needed to fight to the death, while Amadon only needed to stall for time and wait for the poison to take effect.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ye took out his Imperial Arms.

Although he didn't know what had happened in the ward, and the space outside the balcony was blocked, he had marked the entrance before entering the hospital so that he could escape smoothly in case of an emergency.

But Lu Ye planned to go straight back to prison.

He also left marks around the meeting room and in the chapel.

Now that we've confirmed Father Pucci is inside Green Dolphin Prison, there's no need to waste time here.

However, after Lu Ye activated his Imperial Arms, he returned to the first floor of the lobby. Outside the hospital gates, instead of a bustling street, stood a thick reinforced concrete wall.

Lu Ye looked into the hospital lobby. The patients on the chairs were gone, the nurses at the reception desk were gone, and the doctors in the corridors were gone. Only the pale light from the fluorescent tubes flickered faintly, and a faint sound of wind came from the passageways on both sides, like the breath of a huge creature.

Everyone else had disappeared, leaving only him, Amadon, and his accomplices—three Stand users in total.

Lu Ye turned his head again and touched the wall by the front door; it was cold and hard.

He drew his sword and slashed it with an Ashina Cross Slash, creating a cross-shaped cut on the surface of the mixed territory. The flying debris splashed onto Lu Ye's face, and his hand holding the sword also felt pain.

Lu Ye wasn't stupid enough to try to break through the steel bars and break through the territory... Of course, if he had a day to work 24 hours a day, he might be able to break through, but before that, he would be killed by Amadon who was chasing after him because he would consume too much physical strength.

Lu Ye made this slash simply to test whether it was real.

Everyone else in the hospital was gone. If it wasn't because I was affected by anything, then it must be the effect of the environment itself. In other words, the other party must have pulled me into some kind of "stand-in space".

To further verify his idea, Lu Ye tried to make the entire Gray Era fog up to envelop himself. He failed, but it proved that his idea was correct.

His Stand, Gray Age, has the ability to send any object it touches into a space the same size as the Stand. This space can be expanded several times by misting and can also envelop the Stand itself. However, once someone enters, the space's form will solidify, and it will be unable to contact the real world except for the object placed inside.

The reason why Lu Ye felt uncomfortable after staying here for a little while was because this distorted space itself did not contain oxygen. Only when Lu Ye entered at the moment the space solidified did a small amount of air come in. Although he could breathe normally, he could not get oxygen replenishment. As time went by, his blood oxygen level would drop, which would cause a series of complications.

In other words, a distorted space is formed on top of the normal space. It is irregular and its state is only defined when the entity steps into it.

However, if the other party's ability is similar, then it is impossible to create another distorted space within the already distorted space. It's like wringing a towel dry; its shape is already fixed, and it's impossible for the inside of the towel to twist in the opposite direction.

Is this all the remaining guy's ability?

Lu Ye finally understood.

From the very beginning, all his escape routes had been cut off.

This hospital has been turned into a hunting ground.

Lu Ye took out the heart rate detector and prepared to take action.

It seems I won't be able to get out of here unless I kill these two today.

He marked the spot next to the elevator on the first floor, then took out his silver dancer and knife and crept to the corner of the stairs on the first floor.

Amadon will definitely come looking for us.

By then, Lu Ye will no longer make any mistakes.

However, Lu Ye, who was waiting for Yamato, did not notice that many hairy spiders were hanging down from the ceiling, their silk almost invisible under the pale light.

Lu Ye's concentration was entirely on the stairs, and he didn't notice that the spiders had quietly crawled up to his ankles and shoulders. By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late; the spiders had already injected their venom into Lu Ye's body.

Lu Ye summoned the Gray Era and launched a rapid attack.

However, it was at this moment that he saw that these spiders were covered in fine hairs, and there were two bright red marks on their mouths below their compound eyes.

Lu Ye's heart immediately jumped into his throat.

This is the Brazilian wandering spider, also known locally as the banana spider. It is a medium-sized spider whose venom is comparable to that of the world-famous funnel-web spider in Sydney. A bite from this spider can cause loss of nerve control, difficulty breathing, and severe pain, and can kill an adult in less than ten minutes.

These spiders should only be found in South America... and the scorpions from before weren't native either. Damn it, is that idiot named Amado's Stand ability just to spread these venomous little cuties everywhere? I'm so fucking idiot!

And how did this guy even find me?

Lu Ye cursed under his breath as he prepared to treat his injuries.

The panacea will first deal with the previous toxins, and the residual effects will fade over time. Lu Ye felt a stinging sensation in at least three places, and the residual effects of the previous potion may not be enough to deal with the current situation.

However, at that moment, the wall behind Lu Ye flickered.

More accurately, it's fluctuation.

Like a pebble thrown into a calm pond, creating ripples, the white wall rippled, the waves traveling from back to front. Although not directly in front, Lu Ye still noticed it.

He turned around and saw a pair of sharp eyes staring at him from the wall of the corridor.

It's that Nile crocodile from earlier!

The Nile crocodile swung rapidly forward, its "ripples" spreading across the wall as it approached Lu Ye. At the last moment, the Nile crocodile leaped out of the wall, its gaping maw, filled with Palestinian scorpions, aimed straight at Lu Ye's throat.

Lu Ye summoned the Gray Era and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the Nile Crocodile.

Is it because of the toxins?

Lu Ye noticed that the speed and power of his Stand had decreased.

Facing this tough, powerful creature head-on, even defending itself was difficult.

Lu Ye thought about drawing his sword, but as Xiao Bai said, it was useless against Stands, because only Stand users could defeat Stand users. Both sides had to rely on their own mental power—that is, their Stands—to fight, which was the Stand users' true weapon.

Lu Ye struggled to hold on, pushing his Stand to its maximum speed, while he himself broke out in a cold sweat due to the depletion of his mental energy.

He must not be bitten by this crocodile, as prey bitten by a crocodile usually suffers a "death roll".

Furthermore, Lu Ye's Stand is a "close-range control type," meaning any damage the Stand takes will be returned to the user, which will then combine with the toxins in the user's body...

Just as Lu Ye was about to seize the opportunity to escape, several dark gray snakes slithered up from behind him, resembling constantly moving and curving "S" shapes.

—Black Mamba snake.

The black mamba is the world's longest, fastest, and most aggressive venomous snake. It can chase prey at speeds up to 19 km/h, and just two drops of its venom are enough to kill a human. At any given time, a black mamba carries 20 drops of venom in its fangs, enough to kill a strong adult male within 30 to 60 minutes.

Before Lu Ye could make a move, they had already rushed to his feet and bit his legs.

It was this sudden pain that caused Lu Ye to relax his guard. At almost the same time, his Stand, Gray Age, was bitten on the wrist by a Nile Crocodile. Before Lu Ye could vaporize Gray Age, the Palestinian scorpions had already pierced the arm of his Stand with the stinger at the tip of their tails.

Lu Ye stopped wasting his breath cursing.

He gritted his teeth and stared intently at the instrument in his hand.
