stand-in creed

Immediately afterwards, a weaker female voice with "intense fear" and a low whimper came from the loudspeaker.

"...Brother, brother? Are you there!"

"Snow, Shirley...?"

"Brother! Never get into this freighter! You will die!"

"Snow-li-!!!"

Polnareff let out a miserable cry.

No matter what kind of enemy he faced, the man who would fight like a tough guy no matter how many injuries he suffered, began to tremble.

Polnareff couldn't help muttering to himself.

"This, how is this possible?

"Shirley is obviously dead, she should be buried in the cemetery of my hometown in France, why is she here. She is obviously dead!!!"

Responding to Polnareff was another voice from the loudspeaker.

man's voice.

"Because of being a corpse, of course, stupid Frenchman!"

This voice came to everyone's ears.

Polnareff yelled in disbelief: "The corpse is alive! Could it be... that guy Dio... unexpectedly, unexpectedly..."

Not only Polnareff, but even Joseph trembled.

Nero first winked at Kakyoin, signaling him to keep Polnareff steady, and then looked to his side.

"Mr. Joestar, what's the matter?"

"That voice, it shouldn't be..." Joseph stared at the freighter's horn high above him with a dark face.

"What, you can't remember my voice after only 50 years!" Caesar's arrogant voice came from the loudspeaker, "I came back from that world, JOJO! I was resurrected as a corpse by Master Dio! And now As a corpse, I offer my loyalty to Lord Dio!"

"Xi-sa-!!!"

After all, it was 50 years ago.

Whether it is Dio or Cameo, they don't know what kind of character the real Caesar will say or what he will say, so they simply fake a scene where Caesar has been "mind-controlled".

It is normal for a corpse to have a big change in temperament after being resurrected.

And this time, even Nero's face turned dark.

"Mr. Joestar, this Caesar should not be..."

"Your grandfather, and my dear friend Cesar Zeppelin—at least the voices are the same."

Although Joseph Joestar clenched his fists tightly, there was a bit of suspicion in his eyes.

Just when Nero was about to say something, Joseph suddenly spoke again.

"Don't remind me, Nero, I know there's something wrong here.

"Why did "Shirley Polnareff" and "Cesar Zeppelin", who were also resurrected as zombies, show two completely different attitudes?The former sincerely reminds Polnareff of danger, while the latter unscrupulously declares his loyalty to Dio.

"It's contradictory.

"There is also the matter of He Li. I just talked to the housekeeper on the phone before I left this morning to confirm the situation of my daughter. It is obviously only a few hours since I hung up the phone! Holly was kidnapped and put on a plane from the US to Cairo, not enough time!"

Although everyone heard Joseph's words, Polnareff still took a step forward.

"Polnareff?"

"I have to go and see, Mr. Joestar!" Polnareff turned his head, eyes filled with tears came into view, "Maybe it's the enemy's substitute ability, maybe it's someone pretending, But what if! What if that's really my sister Shirley? I have to go!"

"Polnareff—!"

Kakyoin was about to stop it.

However, at this moment, another figure followed Polnareff's pace.

Joseph was stunned: "Jotaro?!"

"I know this is Dio's conspiracy, and the mother inside probably has some problems." Jotaro took a deep breath, "But if you don't go inside the cargo ship, if you don't get close, you can't beat Dio no matter what, right?"

What's more, what if it's true?

What if some wonderful stand-in ability directly crosses half the world and abducts the mother to Dio?

"What's more, Polnareff can't be left alone."

After leaving these words, Jotaro caught up with Polnareff.

The remaining four people looked at the two figures on the gangway, looking at each other, and I looked at you.

After half a minute.

Nero sighed.

"Human beings are like a flock of pigeons. When the first pigeon flies to the right, the pigeons in the back row will also fly to the right. Is it right to go to the right? Maybe not, maybe only from the left Heaven is getting farther and farther away, and hell is getting closer and closer, but even so, the pigeons must fly to the right.

"A pigeon cannot fly alone.

"If we don't unite, we will be like doves who are alone. We will die. If we are not united, we will die. If we are united, even if we fly to hell, there is more or less hope of survival and even victory, so—"

Nero looked at Abdel, at Kakyoin, and at Joseph.

Nero finished the rest.

"Let's take a short detour. The ladder to heaven is on the left, but we have to follow Polnareff and Jotaro, the two leading pigeons flying to the right, and march to the right. Hell awaits us there. And this gangway is——

"—the highway to hell."

Chapter 51

The six figures boarded the gangway of the "Power" without saying a word——

Kujo Jotaro, whose stand-in name is "Platinum Star", has precise movements and heroic strength.

Joseph Joestar, whose avatar is named "Purple Hermit", has the ability to read and write.

Muhammad Abdel, whose stand-in name is "Magician Red", has the ability of fire and heat.

Noriaki Kakyoin, whose stand-in name is "Green Emperor", has the ability of long-distance manipulation and emerald splash.

J.P. Polnareff, whose stand-in name is "Silver Chariot", is capable of precise and agile swordsmanship.

Nero A. Zeppelin, whose alias is "Stairway to Heaven", has the ability to cancel gravity and freely manipulate objects.

"Yoshi!

"let's go--!!!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Following Joseph Joestar's announcement, the six right feet took a step forward in unison and stepped onto the main deck.

No one around.

Only the breeze blowing from the banks of the Nile brushed the crane's hook, dangling in the air like a yo-yo in a child's hand.

"There's no one there." Polnareff looked around.

"After all, it's Dior. No matter how you think about it, it's impossible to wait for us in the sun, right? If I'm not wrong, this vampire will probably be waiting for us on the third or fourth deck of the "deep place". " Joseph thought so.

Immediately Joseph squatted down and checked the dust on the main deck with his fingers.

That is the dust that rose after the Dior mansion exploded.

"Mr. Joestar?"

Nero was a little puzzled about what Joseph was going to do.

Joseph just made a silent gesture, and immediately slapped the ground with his right hand——

"—Purple Hermit!!!"

Under the astonished eyes of several people, dust began to gather.

Gradually, the dust on the main deck turned into one after another "structural diagram" of each deck under the astonished eyes of everyone.

restaurant.

Captain's Room.

communication room.

Front and rear powerhouses.

Front and rear navigation room.

Sonar control room.

Radar equipment compartment.

Crew Habitat.

……

"This is the structural diagram of this freighter?!" Kakyoin widened his eyes.

"Including the main deck and the [-], [-], [-], and [-] decks below it, there are five floors in total...it's like a 'maze'! Polnareff scratched his hair.

"Not only that! You see, there are many "points" on these maps. There are six fixed points on the main deck, corresponding to the six of us, and there are many points on the four decks below!There are ten of them! "Nero quickly browsed these structural diagrams.

Joseph nodded.

"That's right, every point on the structure diagram represents a "person".However, it is not clear which person each point corresponds to, which point is Dio, which point is Polnareff's sister, Caesar, and Holly. "

That's what he said, but Joseph knew that there was a high probability that it wasn't his daughter He Li at all.

In this era where only landline or satellite telephones can be used for communication, even if Joseph Joestar does not need to contact the SPW consortium, just combining the differences between "Shirley" and "Cesar" before is enough to get a glimpse of Dior's little thoughts.

But the problem is, this is not a problem that he, Joseph Joestar, can avoid by seeing it clearly.

Just look at the tears in Polnareff's eyes. This is an overt conspiracy set up by the enemy. Right now, there is no other way but to enter the cargo ship.What's more--what if it's true?

Even if the He Li here is disguised by the enemy, what if the corpse was really dug up and reincarnated as Xi Sa?

We can only move forward.

Jotaro on the side just raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect his grandfather to be unexpectedly useful.

But immediately, Jotaro squatted down with a cigarette in his mouth, and pointed to the rear half of the "second and third decks" one by one.

"Pay attention to the structural diagram of the second and third decks. In the second half, there is a large room that "opens up and down the upper and lower floors". There are "four people" gathered here. Maybe this is where the body of the ship's double is located. And maybe Dior's location..."

Whoosh!

Jotaro just said that.

The Range Rover with the crane hook that was swaying in the wind suddenly made a strange swing, and the cable hanging from the hook danced like a long snake that came alive, and slammed the hook towards Jotaro, trying to directly Jotaro disembowels himself.

The figure of Platinum Star suddenly appeared.

"—Ola!!!"

boom!

Platinum Star's fist slammed onto the thrown hook, knocking it away with a more violent momentum than when it hit, forcibly sinking the tip of the hook into the steel bar of the crane.

Although it parried the direct attack of the hook.

But the strong wind blows away the five structural diagrams on the ground.

"Hey, Dior is really stingy, he doesn't even show the map."

Joseph stood up a little annoyed.

And the next moment, a gust of wind blew by, and the hatch leading to the "First Deck" opened inexplicably.

"This is telling us to go in quickly, right?" Polnareff muttered, stretching his neck and muscles.

Nero took a deep breath: "Remember the Vanilla Ace I told you about? Since the other party has been resurrected, it is very likely that we will launch it in the "narrow" corridor while we are in a group. offensive.Judging from the structural diagram, there are communication rooms and many crew cabins on the first deck. Although it is narrow, there is still room to avoid attacks, so be mentally prepared. "
