Madam, I like you.

　This city, detached from the times, remains steeped in the Renaissance. Ancient buildings, steeped in classical art, jut out from the water, often in the Romanesque style. As one of the birthplaces of the Renaissance, it eschews Gothic influences in favor of the Roman semicircular arch, centered around a broad dome.

　The city is brightly colored. Different buildings are constructed entirely of bricks and stones of different colors, some light brown, some bright red, some warm white, and some mixed colors. Emerald green flowers and vines grow out of these buildings, and everything is reflected on the water.

　Outside Venice, you can appreciate the vastness of the sea and the smallness of this city in the boundless ocean. Entering the city, where land and water meet, you can experience a sense of peaceful leisure.

　The main roads in the city are almost all waterways, with peculiar Venetian gondolas docked on both sides. They have their own name - gondola. These beautifully shaped, light and compact gondolas are the main means of transportation in this city.

　Only by coming to this city in person can you experience the huge differences in the roots of Eastern and Western cultures, just like Mo Yan, who feels out of place here.

　"Is that an Oriental?"

　"Probably Japanese. I heard from my British friends that there are a lot of Japanese students studying abroad."

　"Why did you come to Venice? You don't look very old. But I don't think there are any famous universities in Venice."

　Mo Yankong, an Asian, was quite noticeable here. He ignored the surprised looks of passers-by and bought a map of Venice from a local store to find his destination.

　Venice is known as the City of a Hundred Islands. Venice is not just a single shallow water beach, but islands of all sizes surrounding the main city of Venice that make up the "Queen of the Adriatic Sea."

　Mo Yankong's destination is a small island called El Saprina, which was previously bought by a mysterious wealthy man and built into a private mansion.

　The mysterious rich man is naturally the legitimate heir of Ripple Qigong, the adopted daughter of Stretz, and Jojo's mother Lisa Lisa.

　Mo Yankong roughly knew that El Saprina Island was located northeast of Venice and it would take thirty minutes to get there by gondola, but he couldn't find its exact location on the map.

　Mo Yankong bought a gondola and asked for navigation tools such as a compass and a telescope. Seeing Mo Yankong's generosity, the boatman happily cooperated and readily transferred his tools of livelihood.

　"Boatman, do you know where El Saprina Island is?" Mo Yankong asked the boatman who sold the gondola.

　Any Venetian boatman should be familiar with Isola El Saprina, which is probably a very iconic building. Because in the original work, Caesar once asked a boatman to take him and Jojo to Isola El Saprina.

　A strange look crossed the boatman's face. He glanced at Mo Yankong, his eyes twinkling as he smiled. "El Saprina Island... Ah, of course I know. Anyone born in Venice is familiar with the locations of the surrounding islands. But that place was long ago purchased by a wealthy man and has become his private domain. Since it's not a tourist attraction and guests are not welcome there, the latest maps no longer mark El Saprina Island."

　"Could you please mark it on the map for me?"

　"this···"

　Mo Yankong took out a few large-denomination banknotes from his pocket, placed them on the map, and handed it over, smiling and saying, "Perhaps you would be willing to do me a favor."

　"Of course! Of course!" The boatman nodded repeatedly. After pocketing the bills, he took out a pen and marked the location on the map. He casually warned, "Sir, your generosity has touched me, and I think it's my duty to give you some advice. I don't know what you're going to do on El Saprina Island, but it's not a good place. A few years ago, a group of criminals tried to rob El Saprina of its wealth. It's said that more than a dozen people went in with guns, but by the time the police arrived, they were all subdued and sentenced to heavy penalties. The people living there are quite powerful."

　"I just have something I want to ask the person who bought El Saprina Island."

　Mo Yankong rowed away with the map.

　The boatman stared at Mo Yankong's back as he rowed away, hurried away, and found a pub to borrow a phone.

　"Hello, I am the boatman Alfonso Bruno, and I have a message for Lady Rosina."

　"Please wait."

　While waiting, the boatman's body suddenly stiffened, his eyes widened, and he kicked his legs and fell backwards.

　, silently, a sparrow jumped out of his throat, the blood on its feathers quickly disappeared, and it flapped its wings and flew away.

　-

　The sparrow fell into Mo Yankong's hand and merged with the cells in Mo Yankong's right hand.

　"Rosina, this name is Lisa Lisa's servant, one of Jojo and Caesar's acting masters."

　"Jojo's father, George Joestar, once discovered that the British Air Force Commander was a zombie left behind by Dio. He was killed because of his rash actions. After Lisa Lisa learned about this, she found the zombie and killed it with the wave pattern taught by Strelze. This scene was witnessed by a soldier who was unaware of the truth."

　"Lisa Lisa was convicted of treason and subsequently wanted worldwide, and she escaped to Venice with the help of Spitwagen."

　"If she had no means, she wouldn't have been able to buy the island in Venice, nor would she have lived peacefully on it for so many years. I'm afraid this city has become her eyes and ears."

　When Mo Yankong sensed that the boatman's attitude was strange, he had no intention of letting him leave alive, so he invaded his body with some of his cells.

　Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.

　Mo Yankong's main goal is to obtain the perfect Aizhe Redstone, but Lisa Lisa is not the type to give it up under duress.

　Mo Yankong rowed the gondola into the dark and deserted waterway, thinking about how to invade Elsaprina Island and how to get the perfect Aizhe Redstone from Lisa Lisa.

　"The Perfect Edger Redstone should be on Elsaprina Island. But only two people know its exact location: Lisa Lisa herself, and her personal maid, Sugi Q."

　"Siji Q is the naive type, so it would be easier to find a breakthrough from her."

　"Then we should act at night. Invading during the day would easily expose the enemy and make it difficult to obtain the Perfect Aizhe Redstone."

　Mo Yankong went to the gondola, closed his eyes and did nothing but wait for the night to fall.

　Author's message:

　The picture shows El Sapurina Island.

　Chapter 108 Mrs. Lisa Lisa

　"We have about 10 minutes left. If we can see the island lights, we don't have to worry about getting lost. If we continue paddling closer, we might get discovered."

　At night, Mo Yankong sat on the gondola to confirm the location on the map. It was less than ten minutes away from El Saprina Island. With the vampire's physical strength, it would take less than five minutes to arrive by rowing.

　It was pitch black all around, and I couldn't see my hand in front of me. I could only see the shimmering water in the distance.

　The remaining distance was not long, and with the island lights as signposts, there was no need for a gondola.

　wow-

　Mo Yankong jumped into the water, waved his right hand, and the gondola was cut in half and slowly sank to the bottom of the water.

　Mo Yankong is a vampire and does not need to breathe. After diving into the water, his body is more flexible than that of fish. He landed on the island in a deserted corner under the cover of night.

　Mo Yankong, half submerged in the water, gazed up at the towering outer walls of the water castle. Aside from the harbor, most areas were blocked by high walls, making it impossible for ordinary people to reach them without specialized tools.

　This is not a problem for Mo Yankong.

　Mo Yankong's five fingers turned into metal and pierced into the wall like piercing tofu. He climbed to the roof of the building silently, and the moisture on his clothes quickly faded away.

　"First, we need to find the island owner, Lisa Lisa."

　Mo Yankong squinted his eyes and looked around the entire island. There were many buildings, but only a few of them had lights on. A huge tower stood in the center of the island, making El Saprina Island look like a rocket launch pad.

　That is a place called the "Pillar of Hell", used to train the ripple endurance of ripple users.

　It seems that most of the buildings on El Saprina Island have been converted into training bases for Ripple Messengers.

　Mo Yankong's body moved flexibly across the roof of the castle, lightly and quickly, without making any sound or movement.

　Arriving at the first place with lights on, I saw through the glass window two sturdy men sitting cross-legged and practicing breathing techniques, their bodies occasionally flashing with golden ripple energy.

　"They should be Messina and Loggins, the acting masters of Jojo and Caesar. In the original works, they were just cannon fodder." Mo Yankong was secretly surprised. Because of his powerful vampire memory, he still had some memories of the extras in these two anime. Both were cannon fodder killed instantly by the Pillar Man. But standing dozens of meters away from them, Mo Yankong could feel the strong ripples of energy.

　It is completely not on the same level as Jojo. Even if Mo Yankong is not afraid of the sunlight, he cannot be sure that he will be unharmed when facing such powerful ripple energy.

　Vampires have better vision at night than during the day. Because he couldn't figure out the characteristics of ripple qigong, Mo Yankong didn't dare to get too close. He observed them from a distance and learned their breathing patterns.

　"Damn it, I forgot that I don't need to breathe. How can there be ripples without breathing?" Mo Yankong slapped his head, laughed and shook his head, then jumped onto another building platform.

　This time, Mo Yankong found the right target. The place with the light on was Lisa Lisa's bedroom. Perhaps because she lived in a castle with the window facing the sea, Lisa Lisa did not notice the scenery outside the window.

　Mo Yankong saw a mature woman in a silk nightgown lying on a soft rose-colored bed, her messy black hair spread on the bed, her delicate body twisting like a water snake. When Mo Yankong concentrated, he could hear the woman's soul-stirring moans and whispers.

　"George...George

　··”

　Mo Yankong watched intently, this erotic scene firmly imprinted on his retina.

　But this isn't for some frivolous physiological urge.

　Observing Lisa Lisa's body, Mo Yankong's body was also changing. His body was stretched, his muscles were wriggling, and his clothes were changing along with it.

　In a moment, Mo Yankong turned into another "Lisa Lisa".

　This is the ability possessed by parasitic cells. Mo Yankong, who completely devours parasitic cells, also possesses this mimicry ability.

　"Next, go find Siji Q."

　After confirming the location of the blonde maid, Siji Q, Mo Yankong returned to hide until Lisa Lisa's legs straightened and she let out a long sigh of satisfaction before falling asleep.

　"Sijiq is a maid. She must have a lot of things to do taking care of this castle. It's normal for her to stay up later than Lisa Lisa. I'm just imitating Lisa Lisa's shell. I have no idea about her movements, habits, and lifestyle. I can only hope that the naive Sijiq doesn't notice anything unusual about Lisa Lisa."

　"Also, the Perfect Edger Redstone shouldn't be in Lisa Lisa's bedroom, right?... Even if it is, it doesn't matter. Once we confirm the Perfect Edger Redstone's location, if we can't get it by trickery, then we'll just take it by force."

　Mo Yankong, who had transformed into a cool and beautiful black-haired noblewoman, muttered to himself before leaping to the ground and knocking on the door of the castle where Siji Q was.

　"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

　The blonde maid in a maid outfit opened the door and looked at Lisa Lisa standing in front of it in surprise: "Lady Lisa Lisa, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

　Mo Yankong said calmly, "There's something I need to ask, Sijiq. Could you please get the Ai Zhe Red Stone? I need to do some experiments here."

　"Aizhe Redstone, right?" Siji Q looked a little confused about Mo Yankong's request, but nodded and walked in another direction of the castle, which was the direction of Lisa Lisa's bedroom.

　Mo Yankong's keen hearing could even hear Siji Q muttering, "I always feel that Lady Lisa Lisa is a little different than usual. Isn't that gem placed in Lady Lisa Lisa's bedroom? Why did she specifically ask me to get it?"

　Mo Yankong frowned slightly: "It's a bad sign."

　Mo Yankong's muscles squirmed and his bones crackled as he regained his original appearance and followed. The incarnation of the Dead River beneath his feet opened its bloodshot eyes in a restless state, ready for battle.

　Siji Q walked all the way to Lisa Lisa's bedroom, pushed the door open and turned on the light.

　Lisa Lisa, who was sleeping soundly, noticed something and got up from the soft rose-colored bed. She looked at Siji Q puzzledly and asked, "Siji Q, what's wrong with you?"

　"Lady Lisa Lisa..." Siji Q stared at Lisa Lisa lying on the bed with wide eyes. What was going on? The person sleeping here was Lisa Lisa, and who had just ordered her to get the Edge Red Stone?

　"What's the matter?" Lisa Lisa frowned slightly and spoke unhappily.

　Sijiq, looking bewildered, stammered, "Ah...but...just now...didn't you tell me to get that gem?"

　"Me? I've been sleeping here..." Lisa Lisa looked at Sijiq and she didn't look like she was lying, and Sijiq was the type who would not lie.

　Conclusion: Someone who looks like her ordered Sijiq to get the perfect Aizhe Redstone...

　Lisa Lisa felt an inexplicable chill on her skin and couldn't help but clasp her hands together.

　Outside the bedroom door, deep darkness poured in, and gusts of cold air rushed into the bedroom.

　Something is coming!

　Evil! An evil far greater than that of vampires dwells in the shadows!

　Lisa Lisa, who has been practicing Ripple Qigong for many years, felt that even her breathing became difficult, her hands and feet were cold, and the ripple energy in her body was surging and resonating.

　Chapter 109 JOJO Li

　"Sijiq, come over here!"

　"Lady Lisa Lisa, what exactly happened..."

　Lisa Lisa grabbed her silk nightgown, and the two retreated to the corner of the room. Her hoarse and magnetic voice remained calm: "I don't know, but one thing is clear, we have been targeted."

　A chill wind blew into the bedroom. From the dark corridor outside came a low, unnoticeable roar, like the whispers of a monster in the darkness. Twisted shadows crept from the corridor into the bedroom, and the light from the crystal chandelier suddenly dimmed. It was as if the room had been drawn into a dark, alien world.

　"Hooho-"

　Two Dead River Messengers walked into Lisa Lisa's bedroom, their bodies surrounded by blood-red shadows, waist-high, with eyes flowing like fluid, staring at the two living people in the bedroom. Half of the Dead River Messengers' bodies were black wolf, and the other half was blood-red shadows.

　They stared at Lisa Lisa, opened their mouths and growled threateningly, their sharp, blade-like fangs looking even more hideous and terrifying against their black fur.

　"Ahhh——" The blonde maid Sijiq screamed in fear.

　Lisa Lisa's face was solemn, her hands wrapped in ripple energy, alerting the two monsters that had crawled out of another world. She whispered, "What kind of creature is this! Why is half of its body connected to the black shadow?"

　"Even a vampire can't have this ability!"

　"Is this thing really a living thing? Can the ripple still work?"

　Lisa Lisa folded her hands, her body trembling.

　"Ms. Li... Lisa Lisa... Are these monsters wolves?" Siji

　q cowered behind Lisa Lisa, feeling both fear and curiosity.

　"I don't know either, but I'm sure they're not living creatures. I can't sense any ripple energy coming from them."

　All living things can sense ripple energy, which is the life energy of living things. Even the deepest cells of a vampire's body contain ripples.

　In Lisa Lisa's perception, the Dead River Apostle was no different from a stone. Yet, it exuded a strong evil aura. Lisa Lisa had killed many zombies and vampires, but none could compare to the two otherworldly monsters before her.

　The Dead River Apostles wandered around the room, guarding them and preventing them from leaving.

　"Da, da, da, da—"

　Footsteps could be heard in the corridor outside, the soft thud of leather shoes on stone slabs, gentle and slow, yet each step felt like a hammer striking Lisa Lisa's heart. She knew that the enemy controlling the two monsters before her, seeking the Perfect Edge Redstone, was about to appear.

　It must be a being more powerful than any vampire or zombie she has ever encountered.
