Chapter 37: Plunder Mary couldn't understand why she said this...
Mary couldn't understand why the man's expression changed after she said this.
"Hmph... afraid of the sun..." He mimicked her words, his blood-red eyes fixed on her without blinking. A chilling sound of flesh being torn apart emanated from his arm, and a gleaming, cold scimitar emerged from beneath his skin.
Unkind
Mary raised the knife to her chest, a look of vigilance in her eyes.
"I don't like fighting with women." The man known as Lord Kaz said, "Now I give you two choices. Either you leave with me obediently and avoid physical pain. Or... I can only beat you up and drag you away." His serious look made Mary know that the other party was not joking.
Mary is silent
The fight just now made her realize that not only was the opponent's strength and speed almost the same as hers, but his methods and techniques were even more sophisticated.
He glanced vaguely at the other two 'Indians' who were staring at him. Their strength should not be underestimated.
A head-on confrontation would do her no good.
Mary retracted her dagger and said, "I can leave with you, but only if you help me find a blond man and kill him."
"Blond man?" The man next to him asked, "Are you talking about the blond boy down there?"
Mary looked in the direction of the other person's finger and saw a blond and blue-eyed boy with a wounded face. He was surprised when he saw her.
"No," Mary shook her head. "He was wearing pink clothes, his hair was longer than mine, and he had blue eyes."
"Okay," Kaz said flatly, "but not today."
The man beside him took over the conversation: "Daybreak is approaching, we must find a base to protect ourselves."
Mary stepped back calmly: "Why should I trust you?"
"Because you have to believe it." Kaz crossed his arms over his chest, using his height to look down at the woman in front of him. "And... if you can really overcome the sun, then you have a thousand ways to escape from us during the day."
It was an unfair trade, but there was no other way. Mary was not a belligerent warrior, and she did not enjoy fights filled with violence and pain.
"All right"
Hearing this, Kaz raised the corner of his mouth in satisfaction. He walked quickly towards Mary and held her under his arms.
…
"I can keep up with you." Mary twisted, only for the other party to tighten his arms. Kaz's voice came from above: "Just in case."
"Then can you change your position?" It was very strenuous to keep her head tilted back, and the skin on her waist was red and painful. She patted Kaz's surprisingly strong arm and said.
The man's temper was better than expected. He did not insist on doing what he wanted. Instead, he held up Mary's clothes from behind with one hand and adjusted her position with the other hand so that she sat on his arm.
Feeling the relaxation of Mary's muscles, Kaz did not stay there any longer, but quickly left this dangerous place.
Caesar Zeppeli watched, under the moonlight, as the Pillar Men abducted the delicate woman. Their impudent departure was so brazen that it irritated Caesar to the point of exploding.
Looking at the unconscious Joseph Joestar and the frail old man beside him who was still seriously injured, he clenched his fists: "Damn it!"
"Who are those guys?" A gentle, yet steady voice startled Caesar. He didn't know when a figure had appeared behind him. He looked up at the sky, his expression worried. "Why are they so physically strong?"
Despite having been baptized by the Pillar Men, Xiza would never vent his anger on a stranger. Even though his mind was in a mess, he still answered the other party's question properly: "Those guys are Pillar Men."
Observing the blond man's sincere expression, Caesar continued, even though the story was far more fantastical than the adventure novels sold on the market: "They existed before humans appeared. Those guys have lived in this world for tens of thousands of years. They are... very strong. Besides sunlight, the only thing that can cause damage is ripples."
Fani Valentine, who had a Stand and had witnessed the battle, took these words well, but...
"What should I do then...?" Caesar heard the heartbroken whisper of the man in front of him. Although he didn't shed tears, the heaviness around him far exceeded the sadness brought by his tears.
He placed a fist on his chest and lowered his head. His blue eyes were like the sea at night, seemingly calm but actually dangerous.
Spittwagen sized the man up uneasily. He was old now, no longer able to discern good from bad people by smell as he once did. Although the man looked honest and vulnerable, the rusty alarm in his head began to chime softly.
Caesar carried Joseph on his back and smiled at him despite the pain: "Sir, you don't have to worry too much. Their first target is the Ripple Warriors, not the ordinary people, and we will not fall."
"No..." The man shook his head and looked at Caesar, his lake-like pupils filled with anxiety: "I'm worried... about the woman they took away." His words made the pupils of the two living people present widen: "She is my love."
…………………………
During the trip, Mary had learned the names of the other two guys besides Kaz.
The man with silver hair is called Aisidisi, and the man with yellow hair is Wamuu.
They all claimed to be Kaz's subordinates, but Mary could sense that the three of them had a very close relationship, with no sense of superior-subordinate relationship at all. Compared to the silent Wamuu, Aisidisi was more talkative and would ask Mary some strange questions: "Do you know Aizhe Redstone?"
"?"
"How old are you?"
"?"
Seeing Mary's confused look, Aisydisi smiled.
"Stop chatting and get down to business." Kaz put Mary down and said in a low voice to the slightly white sky, "Clean up this room before the sun comes out."
Mary felt a little surprised when she looked at the dilapidated house in front of her that had been uninhabited for a long time.
With their fighting power, they can easily choose a comfortable house at random, kill everyone in it, and take over its nest.
But at this moment, Kaz and Aisidisi were diligently patching the holes in the roof, while Wamuu was using the wind to blow away the dust in the house. Watching them busy, Mary found it a little funny for some reason.
When the cleaning was complete, the first rays of morning sunlight streamed down from the sky. Instead of fleeing back into the building, Kaz stood on the roof, letting the warm rays pierce his arm, leaving a wound the size of a bowl. Even though the wound healed quickly, a large amount of blood still flowed down his arm, forming a puddle on the ground.
They weren't lying, they were actually afraid of the sun. This was... ridiculous.
Mary saw a look of reluctance on Kaz's face, but when he noticed her gaze, he smoothed the corners of his mouth.
He leaped down and dodged into the pitch-black room, reminding Mary of a rat that feared the light of day. It was a complex feeling that such a powerful man could be driven to such a degree by the sun that graced the earth.
Three pairs of eyes glowed in the darkness, silently staring at Mary. They watched the sun slowly rise from behind the woman, spreading from her feet to her back, and then playfully climbing up the tips of her hair.
Every strand of her hair was soaked in the bright warm light, and her brown hair shone at this moment like blonde hair.
Kaz moved his lips and felt his throat tighten. His blood-red pupils didn't even blink, as if he wanted to remember this moment forever.
"She is...a perfect creature." His tone was high: "She overcame the sun!"
…………………………
When Joseph woke up, he felt a dull ache in every bone. He could hear inaudible whispers in the distance, which made him angry.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's not a good habit to disturb patients' sleep." He rubbed his head and sat up from the bed, gulping down a large glass of water, and his bad mood immediately disappeared.
There was a sticky and sticky feeling in his throat and near his heart. Joseph remembered that this was the effect of the ring, and suddenly he felt a headache.
"JOJO, are you awake?" Caesar walked towards him, a look of relief in his eyes: "Your recovery time is faster than I expected. You have very good physical fitness."
"Of course, do you think I'm tall for nothing?" Joseph grinned and asked, "Who is that strange man? Your friend?"
Caesar looked at Fani Valentine, his smile fading. He could cough, wink at Joseph, and his whole body exuded: speak further.
Joseph understood. He followed Caesar into another empty room before asking, "What's going on?"
Caesar Zeppeli sighed, "That man's name is Fani Valentine. His lover was kidnapped by the Pillar Man."
"ha?!"
"They are Americans who came to Italy for vacation. When they came to the Mouth of Truth, they found a hole behind the door and went in to take a look. But who knew... the girl was taken away by the Pillar Man." Caesar clenched his fists, his face full of unwillingness.
He thought of his good brother Mark, who had tragically died in his arms, even though he was about to marry his beloved. Before he could avenge his lover, a similar tragedy struck him again, leaving him unable to tell that man: the chances of your beloved surviving are zero.
"Then he can only prepare himself for the death of his lover." Joseph said calmly.
"JOJO!" Caesar really didn't like Joseph's behavior. He had a pure heart, but he always said cruel words.
"Then do you have a way to defeat the Pillar Men?!" Joseph and Caesar challenged, "I tried my best, but I couldn't kill any of them. You were almost blinded by a Pillar Man right at the start! Do you have a way to find any trace of the Pillar Men now? Do you have a way to tell that guy: Don't worry, we will definitely bring your lover back safely?!" Joseph gritted his teeth unwillingly, "Don't joke! Giving people hope at the beginning, and then letting them down. It's a hundred times more cruel than telling the truth!"
Xisa was frustrated. Every word the other party said made sense and he had no way of refutation.
"But, are we just going to let it go like this?" Caesar clenched his fists unwillingly. Was the meaning of his practicing ripples to observe the entire process of the tragedy from the closest distance?
No, he doesn't accept it!
Caesar looked up at Joseph Joestar, his eyes filled with determination: "I have already asked the teacher for special training. We must become stronger quickly!"
Joseph proclaimed his dislike for passion and effort, but the seriousness in his eyes was unmistakable. They all realized at that moment that they were destined to fight a terrifying creature like the Pillar Man to the bitter end, a fate destined for a life-or-death struggle.
"You say... why do the Pillar Men plunder ordinary human women?" Joseph suddenly asked when Caesar was about to open the door and go out.
"What else could it be?" Caesar clenched his fists. "Even though I don't want to admit it, men are the kind of creatures that can't live without women."
"Not necessarily..." Joseph felt something was amiss. Logically, the Pillar Men had lived for tens of thousands of years, so they should have had endless descendants, but they didn't. Even after searching the entire world, Speedwagen had only found four Pillar Men. The idea that they were abducting human women to reproduce... He couldn't believe it. But for a moment, he couldn't think of any other explanation.
"What do you mean maybe?"
"Nothing." Joseph stood up and stretched, then smiled at Cesar. "I never thought I would say the words I hate the most, but... Come on, let's do this."
"Yes! The teacher is very good. As long as we receive special training, we will definitely become stronger!"
Compared with the boiling passion on the other side of the wall, the unattended Fani Valentine's face was indifferent and almost cruel.
Last time it was the slums, this time it’s Italy.
There is no necessary connection between them, but the only thing that is certain is that this is still not a parallel world.
Who is Mary? Why can she change his Stand's abilities? Who ordered her to kill him?
Shrouded in mystery, Fani Valentine rubbed her brow with her fingers, becoming unusually upset.
How much time had passed in his original world? Was the election about to begin? Had his men also been assassinated?
Forget it, the most important task now is to find Mary, otherwise he will be trapped here forever.
The sound of the door opening brought him back to his senses. He easily put on a gentle mask and smiled at the two tall and strong men.
I hope they don't die too quickly before finding Mary, otherwise it will be quite troublesome for him.
