Madam, I like you.

　All the windows were closed with wooden boards, so not even the sun could get in during the day.

　Now, Mo Yankong saw a different light, scarlet, full of bloodthirstiness and violence. Dozens of vampire bats hung upside down from the ceiling.

　Hong's eyes were fixed on the uninvited guest who pushed open the door.

　"Who is it? Is he new here?"

　"A strange smell! No! He's not human. I can't hear a heartbeat."

　"Why aren't you wearing a military uniform?"

　"He's not a German at all! He's an invader!"

　"Kill him! Drink his blood! Eat his flesh!"

　The dark shadows hanging from the ceiling were restless.

　"Ahem!" Mo Yankong coughed loudly and calmly, then raised his hand to signal all the vampires to be quiet. He met their puzzled looks and smiled, "I want to take a picture. Could you please smile?"

　"Photos! Who hired him as a photographer?"

　"What are you kidding!?"

　"Why isn't he afraid of us?"

　"He's not human!"

　"Damn it! Kill him!"

　When the shadow approached, Mo Yankong turned on the ultraviolet radiation device and shone it towards the vampire door hanging on the ceiling.

　"Bang-bang-bang-bang—"

　In an instant, the world was silent, all voices stopped abruptly, and the vampires turned into statues fell from the ceiling, staring at the ultraviolet flashlight in Mo Yankong's hand in horror and despair. They trembled and could not speak, and turned into ashes and disappeared bit by bit.

　In less than a minute, all 25 vampires in the world were wiped out.

　"The effect is good." Mo Yankong nodded with satisfaction.

　It's so cool to mow down the enemies. If it works on vampires, it will definitely work on the people in the pillars.

　This ultraviolet radiation device is made to simulate sunlight and has no effect on Mo Yankong's body. Therefore, Mo Yankong's body cannot be used as experimental equipment.

　After eliminating all the German soldiers, Mo Yankong came to the communications room and dialed the phone number according to his memory.

　The phone was connected and an impatient male voice came through.

　"What's going on this time?"

　Mo Yankong chuckled and said, "Hello, Colonel Stroheim."

　Chapter 134 Gentlemen, I like war.

　Stroheim, formerly a major at the German research base in Mexico, was mainly responsible for the research on the Pillar Man. He forced the location of the Pillar Man's remains from Spitwagen. In order to prevent the Pillar Man Santana from escaping the institute, he killed himself with a grenade. Afterwards, his entire body was transformed into a machine and he was promoted to colonel, taking full responsibility for matters related to the Pillar Man.

　He was a fervent Nazi who was deeply proud of his country and would sacrifice everything for it.

　At least that's the original character in the world of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure". Mo Yankong couldn't figure out what changes had taken place in Germany now.

　"The German intelligence officer in Venice couldn't find any more useful information. He only knew that Stolheim was the direct superior of this intelligence agency, responsible for matters related to the Ripple Clan and the Pillar People."

　Mo Yankong pondered and waited for the response from the other side.

　After a moment of silence, on the other end of the phone, Stroheim asked in a deep voice in English, "Who are you?"

　"A passing vampire stole the perfect Edgerton from Lisa Lisa and destroyed the German base in Venice. But it really surprised me that the Nazis, who looked down on even other races, would choose to cooperate with the Pillar People who are not even human." Mo Yankong said lightly, giving Stolheim the illusion that Mo Yankong understood the movements of the German army. In fact, every word he said was a test.

　"Idiot! There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Even if it's not humans, we Germans are destined to dominate the world! A mere vampire! A mere Pillar Man! It won't be long before they will be cracked by our German science! We Germans will be eternal!"

　"Your bodies have become vampires, are you still Germans?"

　"It doesn't matter! As long as you love your motherland deeply! Be proud of your motherland! Devote your bodies to this great cause! We are great Germans, upright and unyielding German soldiers!" Every word was roared out, and in every word you can feel the man's deep pride in his motherland and his unwavering will.

　Stromheim was such a man.

　After his frenzied declaration, Stroheim's tone turned calm, like a superior questioning a subordinate: "Vampire, a mere vampire, a vampire as low as an ant, do you want to be an enemy of Germany? Vampire! Tell me your goal! Tell me your demands! Tell me what price you will pay to hand over the Perfect Edger Redstone to us!"

　Mo Yankong touched his chin and asked curiously, "You won't doubt my identity or what I said."

　"Suspicious? Idiot! You're underestimating the German intelligence agency! Your name is Mo Yankong, you're of yellow race, Chinese nationality, and your identity is unknown. You once lived in the Caesars Hotel in New York and had a close relationship with the hotel owner, Catherine. You once fought Jojo and won with absolute advantage, killed the vampire-turned-Streltz, and rushed to Venice to contact Lisa Lisa more than half a month ago! All your whereabouts are under our control!"

　"But there's just one thing I can't understand! Why, as a vampire, do you possess such powerful strength? Why are you not afraid of the sunlight, which even the Pillars can't overcome? The German garrison in Venice should have more than thirty excellent vampire soldiers. Did you kill them all?"

　Mo Yankong's eyes narrowed slightly. All his movements since coming to this world were known to the German army, and he didn't even notice it at all?

　Mo Yankong's actions are not low-key, but the German army can

　The fact that they were able to master these in such a short time is enough to prove the technology and human and material resources they possess.

　In the world of "Parasyte", Mo Yankong understood that the power of the state machinery should never be underestimated.

　Mo Yankong chuckled and said, "Just let them enjoy a long-awaited sunbath."

　"..."

　On the other end of the line, Stroheim's voice was deep and tearful: "They are all excellent soldiers. What do you want from me, from Germany?"

　"What did you get? You German soldiers came to me on your own initiative. I was originally enjoying a delicious breakfast, but I do want something."

　Stroheim's voice was incredibly firm. "Speak now. Although you have killed German soldiers and are undoubtedly an enemy of Germany, I am willing to endure this for the sake of my country's great cause! The German soldiers who sacrificed their lives would surely think so too! Germany's science and wealth are world-class! Whatever your request, as long as you hand over the Perfect Edger Redstone, we will satisfy you."

　"It's simple. What I want is no different from what you Germans want."

　"What do you want to say?"

　Mo Yankong grinned, his deep voice filled with fanaticism and murderous intent: "War."

　"war?"

　"A war that will see the death of countless people. Blood will dye Venice's harbor red, corpses will clog Venice's canals, and the sea breeze will carry the wails of humanity. Humans, vampires, the living dead, and the Pillars, without exception, no one will survive. There will be no human nature, no moral boundaries. Each fights for survival, each for evolution. It is a war as simple and pure as that."

　On the other end of the phone, Stroheim asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Are you crazy?"

　"No, I'm clear-headed. Just like you Germans pursue supernatural powers and the Pillars pursue the Edgestone, war is what I pursue. If you want the Edgestone, come to Venice. This isn't advice or anything, it's a declaration of war, a declaration of war against the Pillars and your great country."

　Stolheim sneered, "Declare war? A single man, a vampire, declares war on Germany! How absurd! How arrogant!"

　"Send out all your vampire troops and call on your allies, the Pillars. It would be a real bummer if the bodies don't fill the canals of Venice."

　"Kacha——"

　Mo Yankong crushed the phone and turned to leave the German intelligence agency.

　War, Mo Yankong is longing for war to fill the void of the Dead River.

　The Dead River now possessed the vitality of tens of thousands of people, enough to resurrect Mo Yankong hundreds of times. However, it was only vitality, lacking the essential element—the soul. Originally, vampires sucked blood to absorb the power of the soul through blood.

　The bodies of vampires and ghouls lack life energy, but the quality of their souls remains unchanged.

　Souls can strengthen the abilities of the Dead River and grant the Dead River Apostles greater power.

　So what if his opponent was a nation? As a vampire, possessing the power of the ripples and possessing hundreds of resurrection opportunities, Mo Yankong was invincible as long as he didn't free the Dead River.

　Chapter 135: Germany's science and technology are the best in the world!

　After returning to El Saprina Island, Mo Yankong found Jojo to ask about the situation.

　Jojo still looked nonchalant. Although he wasn't interested in Mo Yankong's vampire identity, he still answered honestly regarding the matter concerning the people in the pillar: "Stroheim? You mean the German major? What's the matter?"

　"Did you ever fight the Pillar Man known as Santana at the Pillar Man Research Institute in Mexico?"

　"We did have a skirmish, but the enemy didn't seem very interested in me. That's why I was able to escape the German base with Grandpa Spitwagen. Why are you asking this?"

　Mo Yankong continued to ask for more details and sorted out the general situation. Because of the butterfly effect caused by Mo Yankong, Jojo arrived at the German research base a day late. As a result, the soldiers at the research base were mostly killed by Santana, the Pillar Man, and Jojo was able to rescue Spitwagen.

　Santana, a Pillar Man who is fully aware of the situation in the outside world, absorbs the memories of German soldiers and chooses to cooperate with Stromheim, intending to awaken all the Pillar Man.

　Mo Yankong could basically guess the rest. The people in the pillar must have asked the German army to help find the Aizhe Redstone on the condition of helping Germany conquer the world.

　Anyway, even if the people in the pillars become perfect creatures, it is impossible for them to kill all the creatures in the world. It would be nice to keep humans as livestock.

　Germany also had bad intentions. He agreed on the surface, but in fact he continued to study the Pillar Man and vampires in secret. He knew that the perfect Edge Redstone was in Lisa Lisa's hands, but he did not tell the Pillar Man, delaying time.

　Mo Yankong did not tell Lisa Lisa about his declaration of war on Germany, but only explained that Germany was cooperating with the people in the Pillar and was determined to obtain the Aizhe Redstone.

　The situation escalated to the national level. Lisa Lisa was actually glad that the perfect Aizhe Redstone was in Mo Yankong's hands. Only Mo Yankong, a monster whose depth even she didn't know, could protect the perfect Aizhe Redstone.

　Although the Ripple Clan is powerful, they cannot defeat guns and cannons.

　As a result, Jojo and Caesar's ripple training became more arduous.

　-

　"Vampire, is that man really a vampire? He is not afraid of sunlight, has an almost immortal recovery ability, and his body can simulate the cells of other creatures and freely transform his body.

　Isn't this the perfect creature that Pillar Man Kaz pursues?"

　Stoeheim, dressed in military uniform, sat on the sofa in the study, lost in thought. His skin was an abnormal grayish-white, his right hand was wearing a black glove, and one of his eyes was covered by a machine.

　The call from Venice just now really scared him. He knew about the existence of Mo Yankong, and since morning, information about Mo Yankong had been continuously presented to his study.

　There is more than one German intelligence agency in Venice. The one that Mo Yankong destroyed was just the surface. There is another intelligence agency hidden deeper, lurking like a spy.

　Those intelligence agents have no identity, no organization, no number, and are only responsible to Stolheim. They are all ordinary humans who have received decades of training and have been monitoring the Joestar family since Mo Yankong came into contact with Jojo.

　"But even such a creature couldn't possibly be a match for Germany. Declaring war? Arrogant! If it weren't for the concerns of the Pillar, or if it weren't to conceal the location of the Edgestone... No, his appearance might actually be a good thing. Even if Kaz had eliminated the Ripple Clan, he wouldn't have been able to obtain the perfect Edgestone so quickly, buying our country more time for research."

　"Right now, our nation is fully committed to researching vampires. It won't be long before they overcome their weakness to the sun. Then, they'll evolve into ultimate creatures similar to the Pillar Man, and finally, become perfect creatures before the Pillar Man, Kaz, finds the Edge Red Stone!"

　"The Pillar Man possesses the ability to read human memories. How long can the location of the Aizhe Redstone be concealed?... Germany's powerful intelligence agencies are unnecessary. The Perfect Aizhe Redstone is one of the most famous gems in the world, and news of it has spread throughout the world."

　"Until our army completes its research, you will keep the Perfect Aizhe Redstone for us for a while, you damned vampire. No matter what kind of monster you are, our country will ultimately triumph!"

　"Because! German science and technology are the best in the world!" In the empty study, Störheim saluted solemnly alone, his sparkling eyes full of pride for his motherland.

　-

　西藏

　Inside a simple stone building on a lonely snowy peak, a tall and strong man with strange clothes pushed the door open and walked in. Inside the stone house, an ascetic monk sat cross-legged with his eyes closed.

　The ascetic monk, noticing something unusual, slowly opened his eyes and looked at the burly man in front of him, bewildered. "Are you a tourist from somewhere? This place isn't open to the public. No! Who... who are you?!"

　The monk looked at the humanoid creature in front of him in horror. Through the ripples, he could feel the terrifying high temperature in the creature's body, as well as the life energy reactions that were not human.

　"The Ripple Clan is such a trouble. No matter how many times we kill them, we can never kill them all. They're just like cockroaches." The muscular man dressed like a primitive man pressed forward. What he said was the language of the Ripple Clan, which he had learned thousands of years ago.

　The ascetic monk's heart was filled with turmoil, and he said in a difficult tone, "The Pillar Man... You are the Pillar Man. Those records are not fabricated. The Pillar Man really exists!"

　The ascetic monk waved his hand, and ripple energy overflowed, rolling up the corners of his clothes and attacking the person in the pillar.

　"However, it seems that the cleansing of the Ripple Clan did work. At least it prevented the Ripple Clan from developing. Such weak Ripples are useless to me." The man in the pillar easily bounced off the ripples with his skin. He walked to the ascetic monk, grabbed his crown, and his fingers melted into the ascetic monk's scalp bit by bit.

　"Ripple...Aizhe Red Stone...Legitimate heir...Strez...Lisalisa." The man in the pillar searched the ascetic monk's memory and learned that the Aizhe Red Stone was in the hands of Lisalisa, the legitimate heir of the Ripple clan.

　The man in the pillar crushed the ascetic monk's head and left. The mountain outside was covered in a blizzard, with visibility less than a few meters. Wherever he passed, all the ice and snow quickly vaporized, and not a single snowflake in the blizzard could land on his skin.

　The heat-controlling flow method, the Pillar Man of Fire Esdeath

　The Pillar Man Esdeath met up with another Pillar Man at the foot of the mountain and asked, "How's it going? Did you get anything?"

　“Even though this is the birthplace of the ripple, few people in this place know about it.”

　"I have found the location of the perfect Azer Redstone."

　"As expected of Lord Esdeath."

　"The gem is in the hands of a woman named Lisa Lisa. She is the last legitimate heir of the Ripple Clan."

　"Lisa Lisa..."

　"what happened?"

　"I have some impression of this name. At a research institute in Mexico, I came into contact with the memory of a human named Spitwagen. Lisa Lisa... There's no mistake. The Lisa Lisa in that human memory also knew how to use ripples."

　"Santana, you're finally useful. So, where is the gem?"

　"A city on the water called Venice."

　Author's message:

　Santana was the name given by Stroheim.

　Since he didn't have any other name, he used this one.

　Chapter 136 Night Attack

　At night, Mo Yankong stood at the top of the central tower of Elsaprina Island, with a sharp spear under his feet. His body did not move under the absorption of ripple energy.
