Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Chapter 761 Dust Crisis

"What? Mr. Polnareff was also implanted with these fleshy buds?" Josuke clicked his tongue. "This is really bad..."

Lu Ye's expression was serious. "These fleshy buds can penetrate deep into a person's brain and control their mind, just like soldiers who obey a dictator or believers who worship a cult leader... I'm afraid the people here have all been implanted with these fleshy buds, right? Because we are transparent, they have been ordered to stay in this mansion so that we cannot easily find DIO."

“This is bad,” Polnareff said. “The enemy knows we’re here from the commotion we just made. If DIO uses his powers now… our situation will be very bad.”

"Is there a way to remove this granulation tissue?"

“Pulling it out won’t work unless your Stand has the precision and power of Jotaro’s Star Platinum. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to deal with if the brain is damaged. You could easily become a cripple. That’s why the flesh buds are deliberately exposed on the surface of the skin.”

"More importantly, the granulation tissue is a living thing and will attack anyone who tries to touch it."

"Wait a minute. Although my Crazy Diamond is not as precise and powerful as Mr. Jotaro's Star Platinum, this bud is still a foreign object. I can try to repair it with my ability."

As Josuke Higashikata spoke, he summoned Crazy Diamond once more.

He carefully cut off a portion of the exposed fleshy bud, then activated his ability. The fleshy bud inside began to uncontrollably bulge outwards.

"This, this is..."

“My ability is ‘repair’. Even if there are only incomplete parts, as long as the rest are still there, I am confident that I can put them back together.”

As the ability was activated, the fleshy bud was forcibly forced out of the man's forehead and slowly pulled away. When they saw its complete form, Shizuka and Josuke were both startled.

Its surface resembles a spider, but underneath it has tentacles that are over six or seven centimeters long. Presumably, it uses these tentacles to reach the human brain and manipulate the human mind.

Not only that, it was also violently thrashing about. The tentacles that had merged into one and drilled into the brain split into several at this moment, violently thrashing about, trying to invade Josuke Higashikata's brain from his body.

"So, Mr. Polnareff, what should I do with it now?"

“Normally, it will die naturally if you pull it out completely and put it in the sunlight, but it’s nighttime now… just tear it off. Your Stand power should be enough.”

"Really? Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

With that, Crazy Diamond grabbed both ends of the fleshy bud and ripped it off, destroying it completely.

The man then regained his senses.

"Huh? Why am I here... There's a huge plume of smoke... Ah! Was there an explosion over there just now?!"

Unable to see the transparent Lu Ye and the others, he panicked and scrambled to his feet, running towards the nearby people.

"Hey! Run! There's been an explosion over there! Ahh... and so much smoke... there might be a second explosion!"

"So what? We're going to stay in this mansion for that person's entire lives. Have you changed your mind?"

"W-what, that sir? You're crazy... I don't care anymore, I'm going to escape!"

With that, the man hurriedly rushed towards the door and fled.

Lu Ye stared at his retreating figure, biting her lip.

Although they had figured out the strangeness of the people in the mansion.

But with so many people still around, it's impossible to fix them all one by one.

They don't have the time.

Suddenly, at that moment, the smoke alarm in the mansion went off, and at the same time, a large amount of white powder sprayed out from the fire sprinkler heads, covering the people.

Because the mansion had excellent fire safety facilities, even Lu Ye and his group, who were hiding in the shadows, were not spared.

"Why is white powder coming out of the shower head?"

"Wait a minute, this is... flour?!" Jing was stunned.

Because she often makes desserts that little girls like at home, she is very familiar with this kind of thing and can smell it just by the smell of flour.

"Oh no..." Josuke Higashikata bit his lip. "Even though we're transparent now, getting flour on us will expose us. Shizuka, do you know how we recognized you when you activated your ability as a child?"

"I know, Dad said he put powder and lipstick on me."

"Is the enemy trying to use this to expose our disguise?"

“No, this is bad…” Jing’s voice trembled slightly. “Even flour won’t work… I can make any object transparent, and flour is no exception. The other party is probably trying to cause a dust explosion by sprinkling flour on such a large scale.”

Dust explosion!

These four words startled everyone present.

A dust explosion refers to a violent explosion caused by a dust cloud formed by a mixture of combustible dust and air, which is then ignited by a source of ignition.

The reason why this kind of explosion is so terrifying is that when a dust explosion occurs, the shock wave from the initial explosion stirs up the deposited dust in other areas, forming a dust cloud, which triggers a secondary explosion. The range and power of the secondary explosion are often much greater than those of the initial explosion.

"Damn it, how could they think of using this method... Could it be that the enemy and Dio aren't in the mansion?"

"No, quite the opposite," Polnareff said calmly. "DIO has no shortage of assassins under his command, and the opponent's Stand ability might even save their lives. More importantly... this confirms that DIO is indeed in this mansion!"

“DIO is a vampire. As long as he is not exposed to sunlight while seriously injured, or stays in the sun for a long time, he can recover no matter how serious his injuries are… The enemy already knows that we can become invisible, so a direct confrontation is not cost-effective. That’s why the enemy is willing to blow up the mansion and the people inside, just to kill us here.”

The fire sprinkler heads continued to spray flour.

As the spray nozzles rotated, large amounts of flour began to float in the air, gradually reducing visibility. Some people even began to faint from inhaling excessive amounts of flour.

Once the density of dust particles suspended in the air reaches the lower explosive limit, it means that an explosion can occur.

Lu Ye's Stand ability can only accommodate himself plus a small turtle like Polnareff, so he can hold his breath without being affected.

But Shizuka, Josuke Higashikata, and everyone else in the mansion would be blown up!

Just then, the mansion's loudspeakers came on.

A male voice came from inside.

"I admire...you all for getting this far..."

“I won’t strike directly, because you’re already in the game… The next step is the decision…”

“These people were specifically placed in the mansion to counter your ability to detect the number of life forms.”

"If you can't find Lord DIO, you have two choices. One is to leave before the dust density reaches the explosion threshold, but these people will die. The second choice is to remove the flesh buds I've placed on these people before the explosion, but you can imagine how difficult that will be..."

"Don't misunderstand. Before the official battle begins, I'm just curious... just how far can you unleash the courage and honor bestowed upon you by the Joestar bloodline..."

"Now, it's time to make a decision..."

Chapter 762 The Enemy Appears

Now a difficult choice lies before us.

We can either abandon these people and escape the crisis for now, or try to knock them out and take them away, since they have all been implanted with DIO's flesh buds and will definitely not leave the mansion on their own, but that would take too much time.

Morality?

Or should we fight the enemy regardless of these people's lives in order to complete the mission?

A smart person would choose the second option.

However, the truly capable will only want both!

Josuke Higashikata revealed the smile he wore when facing the enemy.

"Making us make this choice... that's really great, but you wish! Saving people and beating you up are not mutually exclusive!"

As he spoke, Josuke stared intently at the scene before him.

"Lu Ye... right? What I'm about to do is a bit dangerous. Could you protect me a little?"

“Okay, what’s your plan?” Lu Ye readily agreed.

“You see the fountain in the central garden ahead?” Josuke said. “There must be a water supply system down there, like water pipes or something… If I can reduce the dust concentration before it reaches the lower explosive limit, the enemy’s schemes will not work.”

"But on the contrary... the enemy probably didn't come up with this method to test our moral standards. Dust explosions require a relatively enclosed space. You can see that all the doors and windows around us are locked. In other words, the enemy wants to launch an attack while we are using our decoys."

“I’m afraid that’s the case…” Jing nodded. “I can make objects transparent, but I’ve tried many times, and my ability can’t make a Stand that manifests as spiritual energy transparent as well…”

“I understand. I will cover you while you move,” Lu Ye said. “I will make sure the enemy doesn’t get close.”

"Then I'll leave it to you."

With that, Josuke Higashikata stood up, summoned Crazy Diamond, and rushed out.

He rushed to the edge of the garden and unleashed a barrage of Crazy Diamond shots at the ground.

"Dulalalalalalalalalalalalalalalal!!!!"

The tiles on the ground and the cement underneath shattered instantly. Crazy Diamond, like a human excavator, dug through the ground in just a few seconds and found the water pipe buried underneath.

"found it!"

Josuke Higashikata roared, and Crazy Diamond smashed the water pipe, causing a large amount of water to gush out.

But that wasn't all. Josuke then used Crazy Diamond's power to repair the water pipes. In an instant, the broken pipes transformed into something resembling an automatic sprinkler system in a farmland.

The water swirled and sprayed in all directions, and soon the large amount of flour floating in the air began to rapidly decrease, turning into clumps of condensation on the ground.

After finishing here, Josuke ran to the wall, and with a series of beeps from Crazy Diamond, the water pipe was exposed in just a few seconds.

Then comes the foyer, the lobby, the second floor...

Crazy Diamond's destructive power is immense, and its repair speed is also incredibly fast. Because the water pipes have limited space, Josuke accidentally broke through other walls while repairing the pipes, diverting the water to other areas and spraying it rapidly.

The dust concentration in the mansion is decreasing rapidly, and visibility is beginning to improve.

Lu Ye wasn't idle either.

Although Josuke is invisible, he can see Josuke's Stand, so he stays close to him, keeping watch for enemy attacks while grabbing a fire extinguisher in the corridor, removing the lead seal, pulling out the safety pin, and spraying the dry powder all the way. The powder inside is not flammable, so it indirectly reduces the concentration of flour in the air.

The two moved quickly through the mansion, and things progressed smoothly.

“Mr. Josuke, you seem to know the location of the water pipes in this mansion very well!” Lu Ye said.

“That’s really great,” Josuke chuckled. “Because a wealthy friend of mine is currently preparing to build a villa, Koichi and I went to visit the construction site and that’s how we came to understand what a luxury mansion is like.”

"Your rich friend..."

"He's a manga artist named Rohan Kishibe."

Soon, the water pipe renovation on the third floor was also completed.

Water pipes and walls were transformed into the shape of sprinklers, spraying water everywhere. The fire sprinklers that Josuke encountered, which sprayed flour, were also completely sealed off by his ability.

Lu Ye thought that if Josuke opened a repair shop or became a doctor, he would definitely be very successful.
