“I was indeed nearby,” Lu Ye said. “I just stood a little further away to make it easier to observe the staff passageway.”
"What happened over there?"
"It seems someone has been inside all this time, perhaps observing the situation... Perfect, Jolyne, could you use your silk threads to investigate?"
"Yes, that's fine."
As she spoke, Jolyne extended the silk thread once more.
The thread slipped into the employee passage next to the entrance, and Jolyne ran the thread around the person before retracting it.
"How about it?"
"It didn't react to my threads; judging from its movements and sounds, it seemed to be cleaning."
“Really? Looks like I was being paranoid,” Lu Ye said. “I thought Dio would do the opposite and enter through the main gate, or maybe he would go through the sewers. That guy likes to crawl through sewers, and he might even have set up an escape route there.”
Josuke was taken aback: "Really?"
Lu Ye nodded: "Yes, Mr. Josuke, you haven't seen Mr. Jotaro's memories, so you don't understand. That guy is very cunning, and he might be hiding somewhere in the visitor center right now, having pinpointed our location and eavesdropping on our conversation."
"Are we in the open while they are in the shadows...?"
"Anna Sui, we haven't received any news from the weather forecast yet, so we can't be sure if Dio has entered the visitor center. In any case, we shouldn't let our guard down."
After he finished speaking, Josuke explained the situation to Ruye.
"That's how it is. I'll go and remove the fleshy growth from that guy's forehead first. If we leave it there, it might transfer to someone else. The host that the fleshy growth infests will obey Dio's orders. We don't even know Dio's exact job title. If he has accomplices in this, it will be even more troublesome."
That's right.
It's obvious.
As long as Dio manipulates someone to cause a large-scale riot, such as murder or explosion, the tourists at the space center will quickly leave, and Dio can use this opportunity to find out the exact number and information of Lu Ye and the others.
“I’ll go with you,” Lu Ye said. “Although Dio’s time stop time should be shorter, it’s better if the two of us go together. If we stay a distance apart, Dio can only attack one person at a time stop. That way, no matter who he attacks, we can save them and track him down at the same time.”
Josuke nodded.
Stopping time is a tricky ability.
While this isn't a foolproof solution, it's certainly much better than going alone.
“Don’t worry,” Jolyne said at this moment. “This method is good, but if the opponent’s attack is fatal in an instant, no amount of ability can save you. I will wrap the silk threads around your bodies to protect your neck and the vital parts such as your heart. Although it cannot stop the possible attack, it can at least save your lives.”
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. Also, please tell the others not to get too scattered and to keep an eye on each other's foreheads, as the fleshy buds are effective against Stand users as well."
After making a plan in a short period of time.
Lu Ye and Josuke stepped forward. Josuke used the Crazy Diamond's ability to repair itself to successfully remove the fleshy bud and crush it with one foot.
"Quickly! Get out of the way!"
At that moment, staff from the visitor center arrived pushing a stretcher.
They placed the man on a stretcher and then quickly carried him to a nearby medical facility.
Seeing that nothing was amiss, Lu Ye and the others continued their search for Dio's whereabouts.
Dio, who was in the employee passageway, put down his broom, a sudden chill running down his spine.
That's terrifying...
If his Stand, "The World," were still around, he might actually have blended into the crowd and made his move...
Those three guys are really cunning.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
My goal has been achieved.
Judging from the granulation tissue, they've probably fallen into doubt by now.
Should I continue guarding the entrance? Have I, Dio, actually entered the visitor center yet...?
The sun is setting below the horizon.
It will be dark in less than an hour.
While waiting for the new moon, you might find a "singularity" and arrive in Heaven ahead of time.
Chapter 775 Dio
A smile crept onto Dio's lips.
Hmph... You are ultimately a bunch of incompetent fools.
Thanks to my superhuman hearing as a vampire, I can hear every word you scum are saying!
Whether they are of Joestar blood or those who help Joestar, they are as unsightly as dog poop on a smooth, clean street in my Dio's path of destiny!
As darkness fell, the last rays of the setting sun shone on the Kennedy Space Center, not far from the beach.
Seeing the staff carrying a stretcher passing by not far away, Dio walked out, went into the shadows under the eaves, and then slowly moved into the treatment room.
"The tourist's condition has improved slightly. The initial diagnosis is epileptic symptoms. We will contact the nearest hospital immediately."
"Okay, okay, are you still conscious, tourist? Look at my fingers, how many is this?"
"Hmm...it seems he's fully conscious and there's nothing seriously wrong. However, we don't have any medication for epilepsy here, so we need to contact a hospital as soon as possible."
"Hey, you've come at the right time. We're going to contact the hospital. Could you stay here and keep an eye on the tourists, and disinfect the treatment room while you're at it?"
"Don't give me orders, you bunch of scum who are worse than pigs."
"When lives are at stake, you bastard..."
The staff member, who was about to get angry, froze halfway through his sentence.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he looked at Dio, filled with fanatical faith. Then he slapped himself hard, so hard that he knocked out his teeth.
"I'm sorry, Lord Dio, I actually lost my temper with you just now. Please forgive me, I'm not even as good as a stray dog."
The eyes of the others were filled with doubt and unease.
But then, their gazes toward Dio became fanatical, like those of extreme believers.
"Hmph... Spread this around."
Dio looked at the people in front of him and saw that their foreheads were covered with granulation tissue, and under their clothes, it looked like tiny insects were wriggling.
But those weren't worms; they were fleshy growths.
These granulation tissues sprouted from the body of the man lying in the hospital bed. Just now, while several staff members were examining him, these granulation tissues quietly infiltrated the staff members' bodies.
Dio went straight to the bedside, raised his arm, and plunged it into the man's neck.
The man's body convulsed, and blood flowed continuously into Dio's body.
"Hmph... Sure enough, after being treated by that Joseph's bastard son, my blood sensation has improved quite a bit!"
"Jotaro's daughter probably only saw Jotaro's memories and knows about my Dio Stand, 'The World,' but how much do they know about me, the ultimate life form, a vampire? Hmph, they probably don't even know about that old, senile Joseph Joestar..."
"Although I can't use Stand powers yet, my vampire physique is enough to defeat you all one by one."
Dio laughed as he felt the blood rushing into his body. He looked at the staff members who were already possessed by the flesh buds. "Go quickly. These flesh buds were carefully crafted by me, mixed with my 'vampire essence.' Spread them as widely as possible... Whether human or corpse, anyone infected by these flesh buds will become a zombie. You want to use these tourists as cover, but they are my companions..."
Dio used the power accumulated from the blood of the woman by the highway he had just absorbed to create flesh buds, and also to spread the flesh buds by causing a commotion near the entrance.
“Spreading it one by one is too troublesome. Human nature is like a flock of pigeons that love to join in the fun. If one flies to the left, the whole flock will fly to the left. Once someone stops because of the disturbance, more and more people will stop. As the crowd gathers, the shadows will also increase, which provides good conditions for my flesh buds to move. Some of the flesh buds should have already spread to the tourists, and these staff will spread it in places that tourists cannot reach…”
"Polnareff, and Jotaro's daughter... you want to take this opportunity to attack me, but how could I, Dio, passively wait for you to come to me... I'm in the open while you're in the shadows, and I, Dio, am in control now!"
…………
Visitor center.
On the tower of the "Space Station Cinema," which is close to the parking lot.
Because the parking lot is covered, it is impossible to see inside.
However, it doesn't matter, because the area adjacent to the parking lot is completely exposed, and anyone trying to climb over from the parking lot will be noticed.
Unfortunately, FF and his team just received some bad news.
"Damn it, is Dio already at the visitor center?"
FF and the others received a message from Jolyne.
"Damn it, how is this possible? We didn't see any outsiders. How did that guy named Dio get in? The terrain around the visitor center doesn't offer him any hiding space at all. His ability to pause for a few seconds shouldn't be enough to get him here... Could the intelligence be wrong!?"
"Don't rush, Anna Sui," FF said at this moment, "the other party is a vampire, it's not impossible for them to get in by other means!"
Emporio took the phone: "Let me contact the others first. Maybe Ames and the others will find something. If I remember correctly, there are several manhole covers over there on the protective fence..."
Not long after, Ames also sent a message.
"We haven't noticed anything unusual here either. That guy didn't get in through the security netting or the sewers. Damn it... that bastard Dio is like a rat that crawls around in and out of the trash cans at the back of a convenience store eating expired bento boxes! Nobody knows how he got in."
“It seems we don’t even know how that guy got in…” Anna Sui frowned. “We must find Dio as soon as possible. If the description is true, he will definitely not let the Joestar bloodline go. Jolyne will be in danger!”
“Is it possible that the guy is bluffing us, actually waiting for us to panic and assemble before sneaking in?” FF asked.
Emporio shook his head: "That shouldn't be the case. Since the other party can manipulate people and cause chaos through that thing called 'flesh buds,' it means that Dio himself must have entered through the chaos, or he has other purposes... There's no way around it, there are too many people. Most of the tourists who come here are space enthusiasts, and they won't leave until the park closes."
"Damn it, what do we do now? Dio's already in. Are we supposed to wait until everyone's gone before we search each building one by one?"
“Not necessarily…” Amporio pondered, “Perhaps they are also thinking about how to attack us.”
"Are you kidding me?" FF said dismissively. "Even if that guy can pause for a few seconds, there are ten of us here. Unless he can keep using his ability continuously, it won't be easy for him to defeat us! Ahahaha!"
Emporio frowned.
If Dio wants to enter the visitor center, why does he have to cause chaos?
While this would allow him to enter the visitor center, the chaos would attract Lu Ye and Jolyne... Could it be that Dio is trying to infiltrate the crowd and launch an attack?
But why didn't he make a move then?
Could it be that... his target wasn't Jolyne and the others?
A shadow fell.
Emporio looked up and saw that the sky had been covered by dark clouds.
Suddenly, at that moment, a commotion broke out in the movie theater below.
