Of course, no one would believe such nonsense.
After all, before the opponent's intelligence stand's ability expired, it was certain that Lu Ye and the others had entered the Great Castle District.
As a precaution, Lu Ye set up a marker on the spot, then signaled everyone to wait while he went to investigate the situation alone.
Lu Ye took out the heartbeat detector from his storage space and was instantly dumbfounded.
The mansion was packed with people, and the red dots almost covered the entire screen of the heart rate monitor. It was difficult to find a single complete red dot; they were all very close together and even overlapping.
Lu Ye went around to the window again and took a look, only to find that there really was a party going on there.
However, it wasn't the kind of party I had imagined; it was more like a banquet, a social occasion. A yellow gramophone was playing a vinyl record, which turned out to be Satie's "Gymnopedie."
As elegant, soothing music played, smartly dressed men and women danced in the spacious hall, while black-and-white envoys, carrying trays and champagne, moved through the crowd, their white gloves spotless.
"what the hell……"
Lu Ye muttered to himself as he took out the terrain detector.
DIO should still be at the mansion.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't use such a trick to distract them.
In that case, as long as we use the terrain detector and the heartbeat detector to search every floor, every room, and even every corner of the mansion, we should be able to find DIO's traces in the most hidden places.
However, when combined with the terrain surveying instrument, the results left Lu Ye speechless.
There were people in almost every corner of this mansion.
After returning, Lu Ye told everyone about his discovery.
"Damn it... just how many people are inside?"
Josuke Higashikata said that this move was really ruthless.
They actually filled the mansion with so many people.
"Wait a minute, if you think these people are in the way, why don't you just kick them out?"
Jing then said seriously, "For example, creating a small explosion or some kind of chaos."
"But wouldn't that alert the enemy?"
"As long as we take out DIO before they find us, that's fine," Jing said. "I heard you guys say that after we take out Osborn, apart from that intelligence-type Stand user, there will only be one Stand user left."
"The fact that the remaining Stand user didn't take the initiative to attack while we were in the bustling area of the Grand Castle district means that the guy must be a close-range Stand type and can't easily leave the mansion."
"The Stand user who is good at intelligence should be in this mansion with the other Stand user right now, using their numbers as cover."
"However... we are in the dark while the other side is in the light. Once this layer of crowd cover is gone, they will naturally be exposed... Brother Lu Ye has that thing that can detect heartbeats, right? Even if we are discovered, we only need to send one or two people to buy time, and the rest of us can deal with the weakened DIO."
"This is a great plan!" Josuke Higashikata's eyes lit up.
"With the interference eliminated, we can not only find out where that guy called DIO is hiding, but also the enemy's movements. It couldn't be better for us with our stealth advantage... This is really great!"
Chapter 760 Flesh Buds
After that, the three men and the turtle sneaked into the mansion.
The magnificent mansion was bustling with people.
That's right, it's their scheme.
By leveraging their numerical advantage, the time required to find DIO will increase significantly.
After all, DIO only had a blood transfusion; he didn't die or become disabled. It's impossible for him to stay in one place without moving. He could have blended into the crowd.
However, Lu Ye had also come up with a solution.
By creating a disturbance in this mansion, we can quickly clear out any irrelevant personnel, making it much easier to find DIO and the enemy later.
The enemy is currently unable to pinpoint the exact location of Lu Ye and his companions.
But you can still sense the approximate location.
Therefore, it is necessary to clear out irrelevant people as soon as possible.
There are approximately 25 minutes left before the enemy can use their ability again.
All these people in the mansion must be driven away.
Because they couldn't see each other, the three people were very close together in their transparent state.
They moved through the shadows of the mansion, avoiding the men and women who were talking or dancing, until they reached the kitchen.
How can we create an "accident" that will allow people to escape quickly?
An explosion or fire seems like a good option.
To Lu Ye's surprise, although the lights were on, there was no one in the kitchen. There were no busy cooks, nor were there any ingredients or wines being prepared.
This inevitably made Lu Ye wonder.
Could it be that the food those waiters outside are serving was bought from somewhere else?
It makes sense.
Since the goal is to confuse the public, DIO's subordinates wouldn't bother hiring someone to make something; buying it directly would be much faster.
Others also noticed this phenomenon, but none of them found it particularly strange.
Lu Ye turned off the lights and windows, then turned on the gas.
Immediately afterwards, he took out the Silver Dancer and summoned his stand-in—the Gray Age.
Gray Age's hand touched the muzzle of the Silver Dancer's gun, concealing it. Then Lu Ye took it out and placed it above the kitchen vent, against the wall, with the muzzle pointing inwards.
Finally, he and the other two left and closed the door.
Lu Ye reached out and touched a broad shoulder, then patted it.
Josuke Higashikata understood immediately. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was around, he summoned Crazy Diamond and smashed the lock with a single punch, locking the door from the inside. He then used his Stand ability to restore the door.
The kitchen is located at the rear of the mansion, across the courtyard.
There were fewer people behind the courtyard, and the kitchen door was locked, so the explosion wouldn't affect unrelated people.
After all, Lu Ye wasn't there to kill these people, so of course he wouldn't cause a large-scale explosion.
While waiting for the gas leak to occur, Lu Ye and the others searched potential locations, such as the basement and the rooftop, but found nothing.
"I mean...DIO hasn't already run away, has he?" Josuke said in a low voice.
“At least DIO hasn’t run away yet,” Lu Ye said. “He must be hiding somewhere in the mansion, otherwise the enemy wouldn’t have deliberately placed so many people here.”
“Yes, the SPW Foundation has already investigated. This mansion belongs to an American. He is not in Egypt, and he has no wife or relatives here. These people were undoubtedly arranged by DIO or his subordinates.”
"This is really bad, I have a bad feeling about this..."
Even though things have become more transparent, Josuke still feels a bit out of place.
There seems to be something wrong with this banquet.
Although the banquet at the mansion appears to be lively, with people dancing, talking, and toasting, if these people were invited by DIO or someone else, why is the host of the banquet not present?
Actually, Lu Ye was also a little uneasy.
From the moment he was attacked by Olska on the plane, Lu Ye suspected that the opponent's intelligence-gathering Stand was quite accurate.
Although the silence prevented the other party from seeing them.
But it is highly likely that the enemy already knew that they had entered the mansion.
If you can eliminate most of the people in this mansion, then you have won.
Conversely, if the plan fails, the enemy will immediately realize that there is an intruder in the mansion.
What abilities the remaining Stand user possesses... remains to be seen.
However, considering that he was assigned to protect DIO's mansion, the opponent's Stand ability must be quite troublesome.
"It's almost time."
As Lu Ye spoke, he took out the Silver Dancer.
Although the front half of the pistol is missing, it can still function normally.
This is a characteristic of Lu Ye's Stand ability.
Lu Ye pulled the trigger.
The bullet did not shoot from the barrel of the gun in Lu Ye's hand at the moment of firing, but rather twisted and disappeared near the cut surface, and then shot out from the remaining half of the gunshot in the ventilation duct inside the kitchen.
The sparks from the bullet reacted with the gas, instantly causing a violent explosion inside the kitchen. The sound of shattering windows rang out, and the chained doors were almost blown away by the shockwave.
This commotion was enough to spread throughout the entire mansion.
However, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
These people... these people who came to the banquet, seemed to be completely oblivious to the explosion, still talking, drinking, and dancing as if they didn't care about the explosion at all.
It's like... an NPC in a game, who won't react except in specific situations and settings.
"What, what kind of joke is this...!" Josuke said. "These people really do have problems, don't they?"
"Quick, grab any guy and let's take a look!" Polnareff whispered.
Lu Ye stood up and leaned against the wall. As a lone person passed by, he knocked him unconscious with a chop to the neck and dragged him to a dark corner.
However, before everyone could get a good look, Polnareff shouted uncontrollably, "How could this be!?"
“Mr. Polnareff, please keep your voice down. The enemy might be nearby,” Jing said. “What’s wrong?”
“Look at this guy’s forehead.”
Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked over and saw that on the top of the forehead of the unconscious Egyptian man, where his hairline met, there was a fleshy growth the size of a little fingernail, shaped like a spider.
The tumor was alive and was still wriggling slightly, as if it were devouring something.
The disgusting sight made Jing cover her mouth.
“Because this guy doesn’t have any hair on his forehead, I spotted him immediately,” Polnareff said. “That’s DIO’s flesh bud!”
"Flesh buds?"
“That’s right, these are granulations formed from the cells of that evil man,” Polnareff said. “Although I only heard about this later, kid, you’ve seen Jotaro’s memories, right? Then you should know that Kakyoin was controlled by this, and I was the one who attacked Jotaro…”
