If one could understand one's own destiny and reach the so-called paradise, that would surely be a wonderful thing.

Hadford was tempted by the promises the priest had made and the reward he was about to receive.

As a civil engineer, Harford possesses exceptional professional skills and is among the best in the field. He is able to complete the planning, deployment, and design drawings for three buildings in the CBD center area within a single day. Perhaps it is this skill that granted him the ability to use a stand-in.

Harford sees his Stand ability as a gift from God, so he plans to go it alone. The cunning man uses his Stand to destroy many of his competitors through many shady operations, causing them to lose their families and become well-known figures in the American industry.

But later, Hadford came into contact with Buddhist concepts through his Chinese wife. The Buddha said that if one does evil in life, one will go to hell to suffer after death. Thus, he gained the ability to stand in someone else's body. Hadford, who had witnessed supernatural powers, began to do good deeds because he was afraid of hell. He donated money to people in poor areas, donated money to religious institutions, and repaired schools until one day he met Father Pucci.

Pucci said that the greatest happiness for a person is to go to heaven. Hadford said that he had committed many evil deeds in his previous life, and wondered if he could also go to heaven after death.

Pucci said yes, as long as you help God's representative on earth.

As Harford was thinking, his eyes glanced at the screen, but he was so startled that he almost fell off the table.

At some point, the surveillance camera that Hadford had initially used to take Lu Ye to the room where he was trapped reappeared, but instead of showing Lu Ye's gruesome death, it showed Amaton, who had been beaten beyond recognition.

"W-What's going on?!"

Hadford stumbled backward in terror, falling off his chair and becoming dizzy from the fall.

Although he didn't know why, he quickly realized something.

That means Lu Ye is already coming for him.

Perhaps during the time I was on the phone with Amadon, that guy had already eavesdropped on my location!

Hadford frantically tried to manipulate the Stand's lines, but a sharp pain in his hand caused him to roll on the ground.

"Aa ...

Lu Ye walked into the room with the silver dancer in his hand.

He fired five more shots, all hitting Harford in the ankle.

The red robot stand did not move; it was a special type of stand.

Harford's Stand itself has no fighting ability. Harford was able to defeat his rivals entirely by using his Stand's ability to lock people in a dark, enclosed space for days, surviving only on water droplets and insects. Even the strongest-willed person would break down.

“I am not a person who kills indiscriminately, nor do I like killing, but if someone wants to kill me and takes action, then I must kill that person.”

As Lu Ye changed his magazine, he moved to a position with a clear view for himself. After confirming that the red robot was not moving, he pointed his gun at Hadford.

"You should be glad you had the chance to say your last words, you bald fatso. In gaming terms, I've already turned the tables on you."

Chapter 734 American Poisonous Creatures: Komodo Dragons

The reason why Lu Ye was able to turn the tide is actually quite simple.

That's because he noticed the camera.

It wasn't that he noticed the camera, but rather that he wondered how the other person had found him.

If he could perceive the situation inside the building without visual means, then the attack would have started the moment he entered Muga Murat's ward. He could have easily blocked the room and launched the attack through Amadon's Stand, instead of sealing off the balcony outside after Amadon arrived.

Cameras are not allowed in private areas such as hospital wards, toilets, and changing rooms, so Harford must have been hiding somewhere to monitor himself while protecting Amarton. The cell phone that Amarton was carrying throughout his escape is proof of this.

Since the opponent could move the wall, they could also move the camera on it. Lu Ye seized this opportunity, marking his bullets and firing at the obstacle ahead before slipping into the nearby medical room. Harford, having lost Lu Ye's sight, would surely come to check on the situation. Lu Ye then used his Stand ability to retrieve Harford's camera. Taking advantage of this brief time difference, Lu Ye activated his Teigu and chased after Amadon again. This time, without Harford's support, Amadon was quickly caught by Lu Ye and brutally beaten.

As for the conversation between Amado and Harford just now, only the first sentence was what he wanted to say. He couldn't even say the curses that followed because at that time, Lu Ye had already grabbed him by the back of the neck.

"No, don't kill me... I can give you money, women, anything, just spare my life! I have a wife and a young son!!"

“Sorry, I’m not short of money, and I’m not short of women either,” Lu Ye said. “As for your wife and son… don’t worry, you’re dressed quite well, so you must have a lot of money. Your wife isn’t stupid; she’ll take that money and your son and remarry a good man.”

After speaking, Lu Ye summoned his Stand, "Grey Age," and unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks on Harford for three minutes straight, until Harford was completely immobilized but not yet unconscious. Lu Ye then dragged Harford out of the CT room, up the stairs to the top floor, and onto the rooftop. He took out the empty syringe of the universal drug, drew air from it, and injected it into Harford's body.

When air enters the bloodstream, it's like speeding on a highway and suddenly encountering a traffic jam; it can form an air embolism in the blood vessel. If air enters your arteries, it can cause an air embolism that blocks the capillaries in your fingers, affecting the normal function of your hand. If it enters a vein and reaches the heart, it can trigger acute heart failure and cause organ ischemia. If it enters the pulmonary artery or cerebral artery, it can lead to pulmonary embolism or cerebral infarction.

Lu Ye was injected intravenously, and to be honest, he understood why the nurses in the hospital always complained about giving injections to fat people, because it was indeed very difficult to do so.

As for why he didn't deal with this guy immediately, it's because once the Stand is removed, the hospital will probably return to its original state, and he would definitely be implicated in the investigation. However, there are about two minutes between now and Harford's sudden death, and about 150ml of air is enough for this middle-aged bald man who doesn't exercise for a long time to die.

Just to be on the safe side, Lu Ye also tied up Harford, locked the rooftop door when he left, and then went back to the first floor, where he reappeared in front of Amarton.

After Lu Ye discovered Harford's location, he immediately used his Stand to beat up Amarton, who was now practically crippled. So Lu Ye didn't waste a single second finding Harford.

Now it's time to go back and deal with this guy.

"No, don't kill me!"

The lines are exactly the same, with no changes whatsoever.

However, Lu Ye was not interested in these things. Although finishing off the enemy was an easy task, he had another reason for keeping Amaton alive.

"You mentioned 'going to heaven' before, what is that?" Lu Ye asked. "What exactly does Father Pucci want to do?"

"I... I don't know either. I'm a seminary student who's interested in animals, but the professors always look down on my research... So not long ago, the priest came to me and wanted me to help get rid of any guys who came to the wards on the sixth floor. He promised to let me go to heaven! It's a wonderful world where humans can be enlightened!"

"You really believe there's a heaven?" Lu Ye poked his eye with the silver dancer. "Where did you get that from, the seminary curriculum?"

“It really exists! Heaven truly exists in this world! The end of science is theology! In the nineteenth century, humanity thought it was close to reaching the ultimate truth, but now it realizes it has only climbed less than halfway up the peak of truth! There really are gods in this world, the laws of the universe are orderly, and heaven exists... I'm telling you, don't kill me, let's help the priest together, so we can all go to heaven…”

Lu Ye didn't want to waste any more words with this guy.

Saying more is just a waste of time.

He summoned his double, punched the excited guy in the chest, and then raised the gun.

Lu Ye prefers using a gun to a knife if possible.

Because using a knife allows for a deeper perception of the victim's emotions, such as despair and anger, while a gun does not.

Amadon coughed painfully, then cried out with tears streaming down his face, "No! You can't kill me! You won't escape even if you kill me!!"

"Ok?"

"I... I'm not lying. My Stand can manipulate 'poisons,' but I haven't fully mastered this ability yet. There are still things about it that I don't know. I have a feeling that if I die... a lot of trouble will definitely come your way and the people around you! My mission is only to kill you, not to drag other innocent people into this!"

Lu Ye pulled the trigger hammer.

"You...you don't believe me?!" Amadun roared.

“Since you’ve said you don’t know, I’ll believe you for now,” Lu Ye said. “But I can’t let you go. You must die. You just said ‘innocent person,’ right? What makes you think I’m not innocent, and that someone who took away the girl’s father’s memories is right?”

"Because, because you are the guy the priest ordered to kill... If you have to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for going into that ward."

"What rubbish! It seems your idiotic brain can't understand what I mean. Let me put it another way: what if the priest meant for you to use a double to kill everyone in the hospital?"

Amadon was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed.

“Then I will still do it... because going to heaven is my wish.”

Suddenly, ripples appeared on the wall behind Lu Ye, and a huge Nile crocodile was poised to pounce.

While Lu Ye was dealing with Harford, Amarton wasn't idle. He found some antibiotics, coagulants, and medicine in the infirmary, injected himself with them, and regained some strength. He didn't need much strength to escape, nor did he have any room to escape. He just needed to be able to control his Stand.

Amadon knew that Lu Ye would deal with him after dealing with Harford, so he was waiting for this moment to launch a sneak attack while Lu Ye was distracted and thought he was powerless to resist!

The Nile crocodile burst out of the wall, and Yamato roared.

"Go to hell! I'll be the one going to heaven!!"

A large amount of blood spurted out from Lu Ye's back. Yamadon laughed loudly, but his laughter stopped abruptly because he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

"When you play these little tricks in your next life, remember to put away the props you used. Given your determination to go to heaven even if it means killing the whole hospital, I won't kill you."

What do you mean?

What do you mean by not killing me? You've already attacked me!

Amado desperately hoped to see the afterlife, and in his heart he cursed Lu Ye loudly, wanting to inflict all the vicious curses and words upon him.

He was no longer able to speak.

After Lu Ye finished speaking, he ignored Amaton and turned to leave.

The moment he turned around, a heart, ripped open by the sharp teeth of a Nile crocodile, fell to the ground.

Amadon stared blankly at the heart that had stopped beating after losing a lot of blood, then looked at the used medicine bottles and syringes around him...

Amadon turned his gaze back to Lu Ye's back. He saw the gray smoke swirling behind Lu Ye, which was shrinking back into Lu Ye's body. However, he could vaguely make out that their previous shape was fixing something.

He only realized this in the last moment of his life.

It turns out that thing was my own heart.

Lu Ye didn't kill him; instead, he killed himself.

When Lu Ye entered the room, he had already noticed that Amaton had used drugs, so he knew that Amaton still had the ability to resist. Therefore, he used his Stand ability to remove Amaton's heart and used it for protection.

Even if the attack comes from behind, it won't be Lu Ye's bones that break first, but Yamaton's heart.

As the light in Amadon's eyes gradually faded, the ferocious Nile crocodile, along with the venomous snakes and insects lurking in the room, slowly disappeared.

Lu Ye took off her coat, turned it inside out, and held it in her hand as she walked down the hospital corridor.

He didn't know when, but the building structures affected by the Stand ability had been restored. Gradually, more medical staff appeared in front, as well as patients receiving IV drips. He looked at the wards on both sides. Some patients were alone, while others were accompanied by their families. The ICU at the end of the room lit up with a green light.

As Lu Ye breathed in the smell of disinfectant and felt the desire of these people to stay in this place for a healthy life, he walked out of the hospital.

He didn't know what paradise Pucci was talking about.

He only knows one thing.

When you think you're in heaven, you're actually in hell; when you think you're in hell, you're actually on earth; and when you think you're on earth, you're actually already in heaven.

Lu Ye had made up his mind.

From this moment on, I will not only obtain Jotaro's memory disc, but I will also make Father Pucci pay the price.

It was already dark outside.

Even though it felt like less than half an hour had passed.

It seems that the space created by that stand-in has a different time flow than the real world.

I wonder if Jolyne and the others successfully obtained the so-called "remains".

Lu Ye arrived at a dark alley and waited for the cooldown of the Imperial Arms to end.

With the effect of the [CD Cooler], there are about three minutes left before the Imperial Arm can be used again, which is a huge improvement compared to the original "once every seven days".

Suddenly, Lu Ye felt a cool sensation on the top of his head.

He looked up, and cold water droplets hit his face.
