DIO's hearing, vision, smell, and sense of smell are far beyond those of ordinary people. Back then, he was able to determine whether Jotaro was still alive by "listening to his heartbeat" on the street. Once he entered a relatively enclosed space like the mansion, he probably wouldn't even need to put his ear close to the ground to detect the heartbeats around him.
So ultimately, the ability to remain still is at best a buff.
It's not like the strongest synergy in Teamfight Tactics, "Video Sellers," where gathering seven Video Sellers guarantees a win. But when facing DIO, Jing's ability can only reduce the risk of being discovered.
Lu Ye nodded: "Very good, you stay here and don't move."
"How can this be... If I act with you, won't the effectiveness of the enemy's intelligence clone be greatly reduced?" Jing said.
It seems she really admires Jotaro and Joseph's adventures and wants to personally beat up Dio.
But under the dual gazes of Lu Ye and Polnareff, one human and one turtle, she took a deep breath and finally gave up.
"Okay, I'll wait here obediently."
"Hmm, do you still have any money? Don't listen to anyone else. Just wait here for the SPW Foundation people. Once they arrive, remember to contact me first. I'll confirm the situation with SPW headquarters before you go with them."
"Okay, okay, you're so long-winded. Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
Lu Ye and Polnareff: "..."
Aren't you a child?
"Very good, that's enough for us. We'll be going now."
"Okay, have a safe trip. When you get back, remember to tell me how you guys beat up DIO!"
"Definitely. I'll also take a few photos of you so you can see what DIO really looks like."
After saying that, Lu Ye set off with Polnareff.
However, when they weren't looking, Jing Joestar quickly reached out her hand to a kitten on the wall, with a small piece of beef lying in her palm.
She took this from a plane belonging to the SPW Foundation; you can eat it directly after peeling off the foil.
Seeing the kitten drawn by the scent, Jing revealed a sly smile.
…………
Having learned from his previous experience of being attacked by "American drugs," and to avoid harming innocent bystanders and drivers, Lu Ye chose to rent a car this time and drive on the highway through the dusty and windswept suburbs.
With the navigation system's guidance, the journey was relatively smooth.
Of course, the vehicle speed was also maintained at a relatively high level.
After all, the enemy cannot detect their movements within this half hour, so they must cherish it.
Luye and Polunarev had a discussion in the car.
They felt it was better to wait after arriving at the outer perimeter of the Great Castle area, until the enemy's abilities were off cooldown, before charging in with full force.
This way, they can avoid being entangled with other Stand users, thus avoiding wasting more time.
I wonder how the SPW Foundation's investigation is going.
Just as Lu Ye was pondering this, the phone rang.
It was someone from the SPW Foundation calling.
"Hello, Mr. Lu Ye, we have investigated and found that there are only two blood transfusion machines in the entire Cairo. Because the equipment is expensive, its whereabouts are easy to track. One of them was recently stolen, and through our testing, we found Dio Brando's DNA at the scene of the theft."
"What is his exact location?"
"While we cannot be certain, based on our preliminary survey and reconnaissance, Dio Brando's location should be a mansion in the northwest corner of Cairo's Grand Citadel district. It originally belonged to an American millionaire, but because it had been vacant for quite some time, it was put up for sale. However, recently there seem to be signs of activity at that mansion. We investigated the American millionaire and found that he has not returned to Egypt, nor do any lovers, family members, or friends live there. What we can confirm now is that the mansion has three floors and is very large. As for the specific internal structure... we are sorry that we cannot provide details at this time."
"I see……"
Just as Lu Ye was about to hang up the phone.
"Wait a moment, Mr. Lu Ye. Since the enemy's intelligence clones can only be activated again after half an hour, please rest for a while on the outskirts leading to the main city."
"That was our original plan."
"Well, the enemy will surely arrive during this process, so please take good care of yourselves and hold out until reinforcements arrive."
"Reinforcements?"
"Yes, a Stand user departed from Japan around the time you left the United States, aboard our SPW's private express plane. They are expected to arrive in Cairo, Egypt in about an hour. Please send us their current coordinates when they arrive."
"In addition, besides the Stand user with the intelligence-related abilities, there should be two other Stand users under Dio Brando."
"Back then, Dio had many informants in Cairo, including a considerable number of Stand users. However, when Mr. Jotaro and Mr. Joseph's group confronted Dio in Cairo, those people arrived late. John Gerry A., who teamed up with White Serpent in the 'Green Dolphin Aquarium' state prison in Florida, was one of them. After Dio's death, most of his subordinates scattered, but some remained in the area... Unfortunately, we were unable to investigate their Stand abilities."
"I understand... Thank you."
The call ended there.
"Are there still two enemies?" Lu Ye said to himself. "This is not good. We will wait for a while on the outskirts of the city to avoid the worst-case scenario of being attacked by the enemy's Stand inside the city... However, if both of their Stand users attack at the same time, it will be a bit tricky."
“You’re right… I just don’t know how far their intelligence-type Stand can probe, otherwise I would have a solution.”
"What method?" Lu Ye asked curiously.
“Did you see that key-shaped ruby on my back?” Polnareff said. “Actually, it’s an alternate dimension. Giorno and his team stayed in there when they fought Diavolo, the previous boss of Passion.
"In other words, as long as you get in here, and the two of us hide in a crevice in the rocks on the outskirts, we might be able to keep the enemy from finding us... Of course, it's just a possibility, since we don't know how well they can detect us."
"Think about it carefully, the enemy still discovered we were missing on the plane," Lu Ye said. "I brought you into my clone back then, which means... this trick might have worked?"
"But it's not very useful. After all, as long as we can determine our approximate location, we'll eventually find it by searching slowly. After all, turtles crawl very slowly... So let's save this trick for later. I think we can buy some time until reinforcements arrive. I'm really curious who that person is."
Lu Ye was taken aback, then began to think.
Reinforcements from Japan?
And he set off around the time he left the United States, so Joseph must have contacted someone, right?
Connecting these two conditions...
Yes, if my guess is correct, then this person's arrival will definitely be a great help.
Chapter 755 Strikes Again
In the dimly lit mansion, Bencher Brisson knelt on the ground, reporting the situation to Dio.
"Lord Dior... that man failed... the building collapsed, and that guy escaped from inside, taking a little girl with him."
"A little girl? Hmph, it doesn't matter." A magnetic voice came from the darkness. "How are the other two?"
"We have arrived at the residence and are ready to be deployed at any time."
“I remember… these two are called ‘Orionfe’ and ‘De Gorami’… right?” Dio said slowly. “I still remember their Stand abilities. Let Orionfe go. They must have seen through the weakness of your Stand ability. We have to stop them before they enter the Grand Castle District.”
"And... what about the other person?"
Bencher Brisson said curiously, "The enemy will definitely enter the Grand Castle district from the sparsely populated Cairo suburbs, and they probably plan to take advantage of the gap in my ability activation to rush over in one go... Although that old man Joseph Joestar can't personally take action again, he will definitely find a way to call for help!"
"Just as you said..."
The bed curtains were drawn back, revealing Dio, who was shirtless and possessed a beautiful and powerful physique. He was lying on his side, his right hand supporting his head, while his left hand gently swirled the red liquid in his glass.
The green baby was fast asleep, nestled on his slender yet powerful waist.
"Although I wanted to have more time to prepare, it's too late. That guy Joseph sent alone has already killed many Stand users, including Pucci. I, Dio, admit... his strength is not to be underestimated!"
“However, my goal is ‘Heaven.’ Where the spirit flows, there lies Heaven, and you will be its inhabitants.” Dio’s lips curled into a smile. “Only I, Dio, can reach Heaven!”
“So, Bencher Brison, I plan to have the blood transfusion tonight, interact with this baby, and then head to Cape Canaveral. For this, you can buy me some time… right?”
"For you, I would do anything; I want to follow you."
"That's enough, Bencher Brisson. When I reach heaven, I will use Jonathan Joestar's body to take you to a brand new 'world'! And then I will use this body to completely eradicate the Joestar family bloodline!"
“I understand…” Bencher Brisson said. “I will have Orianfair leave immediately, and have another person stay with me at the mansion. Of course… I will buy you enough time.”
"That's good. The sun will be setting in three hours. Don't keep me waiting too long... Bencher Brisson..."
…………
Cairo.
The outskirts of the Grand Castle district.
A jeep drove up from a distance, kicking up yellow dust behind its wheels. As the driver slowly applied the brakes, the jeep gradually came to a stop on the hills above the outskirts of the Grand Castle area.
"Hmm, it seems this is the place."
Looking at the Egyptian-style castles in the distance, Lu Ye took out his binoculars.
He was observing the route into the Grand Castle area and checking for any people on the distant high ground to avoid being sniped by a long-range controlled Stand.
"What time is it now?" Lu Ye asked.
“At 17:32 PM,” Polunarev, in the passenger seat, said, “it took more than two hours, and we changed routes several times along the way to avoid being predicted by the other side.”
"So, in about five minutes, the enemy will know our exact location?"
“Even if they come, it will take time…” Polnareff said. “More importantly, I’ve already given our coordinates to the SPW Foundation. I’m really curious who this so-called ‘reinforcements’ will be.”
“Alright, let me go into that ‘space’ you mentioned,” Lu Ye said.
On the way, he discussed it with Polnareff and decided to finally adopt this method to avoid the enemy's attack.
Dio's subordinate, the enemy with the intelligence-related Stand... even when Lu Ye activated his ability on the plane, he could still sense the general location, which means the opponent's location was not too bad.
Lu Ye didn't intend to use this to evade enemy detection, but rather to use the "red key" on Polnareff's back to attack the enemy.
Through his performance in these two battles, Lu Ye realized that the enemy still did not fully understand his Stand.
When the enemy tries to approach the turtle due to carelessness, Lu Ye will immediately launch a surprise attack and defeat him. If it is close range, not only the Stand, but Lu Ye himself is also a weapon with powerful destructive force.
The Gray Age is responsible for restraining the opponent's Stand, while the original body is responsible for defeating the opponent's original body.
That sounds like a good strategy.
However, the actual effect will only be confirmed after observing the situation and performance.
"Is it not ready yet?" Lu Ye asked.
"Give me a little more time... It's been a long time since anyone has gone in, so I'm trying to remember how to use my ability!"
"ability?"
"Yes, the tortoise I'm living in now was left behind by Diavolo, the organization's previous boss. Back then, in order to conceal his identity, he planned to eliminate his daughter, and thus ordered Bucciarati and Giorno's group to send her to a designated church."
"Wait a minute, you mean that guy named Diablo is planning to kill his own daughter to hide his true identity? They say even tigers don't eat their cubs, I never thought there would be such a person..."
