The entire building turned into a huge worm-like monster composed entirely of a sticky, asphalt-like liquid that kept twisting.

Ferocious eyeballs kept appearing and disappearing on its body, and it was surrounded by a halo of light left by the explosion of a large amount of ether energy.

What was even more eye-catching was the four enormous pale hands that stretched out from the back of the worm that the building had transformed into - probably from the back.

The human-like but incomparably huge arms were waving, and an eye opened on each of the exposed palms.

It is exactly the same as the giant hand that grew out of Bringer's body after he shouted "Ancestor, please shape me" in the plot, but there are a lot more of them!

"This is what I call the special erosion state." Feng Neumeow shrugged. "The four states switch at regular intervals. The intervals are irregular, and we haven't yet analyzed the pattern."

"We are in the building now, right?" Jiang Lianqiu stopped at the fault of a platform. Further ahead was the broken ground and exposed steel bars.

“What would happen to us in the building if it suddenly became like this?”

"Give it a snack?"

"We will be thrown out." Feng Neumiao shook his head. "To be more precise, we will be repelled from this space."

"Although the cause and pattern are still unclear, after current analysis, I believe the most likely scenario is that the Helios Agency has transformed into an independent space."

"This building, with its exterior walls and the plant-like erosions entwined within, serves as a dividing line, and its interior space is cut off from its original world."

"This is also the reason why it is in a chaotic time state. Time and space are inseparable, and the violent spatial cutting also disrupts the timeline."

"The nature of the state change is likely a change in space itself. At the moment of the change, we will all be expelled and randomly distributed anywhere around us. During a previous transformation, an unlucky person was teleported out and half of his body got stuck on a concrete pillar outside."

After a pause, Feng Nuoy meowed and said faintly, "The butt is facing outwards, and it's sticking up high."

"Eeeeeee! That's so scary, Master—eh? Master, why are you blushing?"

"Children should not interrupt when adults are talking." Yixuan, with a red face, knocked on Ju Fufu's head again after inadvertently recalling the pose he had posed for Jiang Lianqiu's photo last night.

"I'm not a child anymore! In Brother Jiang's words, I'm legal!" Ju Fufu protested, covering his head.

"You're quite good, Lianqiu." Yixuan turned around with a half-smile, "Are you setting your sights on Fufu?"

"Senior Sister is so cute, I like her so much!" Jiang Lianqiu once again sighed in his heart that he was an honest person.

"Yeah, yeah!" Ju Fufu nodded happily, "I like Brother Jiang the most, too!"

Looking at the stupid disciple who probably didn't understand what the word "legalized" meant at all, Yixuan suddenly felt a little worried - had she spoiled Fu Fu too much, so that this disciple not only grew in age but also in brains?

With Ju Fu Fu pressed against his arm, Jiang Lianqiu habitually placed his palm on her head and asked Feng Nuoyimiao, "In that case, what if it suddenly changes its state again?"

"Don't worry, the space anchor has already blocked the possibility of this abnormal space changing again."

Feng Neumeow raised his head confidently.

"It is precisely because the space anchor is effective in this regard that I am certain that the essence of this change is space itself."

Chapter 201: Go and invite JOJO!

After hearing that the Helios Agency Building would not suddenly turn into a monster and swallow him up, Ju Fu Fu, who had been clinging tightly to Jiang Lianqiu's body, finally relaxed.

Feng Nuoymiao continued to circle upwards with Jiang Lianqiu and the other two. Along the way, they could see many mechanical servants carrying various equipment to conduct inspections in the building.

"Speaking of which, since this building will be transformed into its pre-destruction state, what about the various data stored there?"

"This is what I will explain next."

Feng Neumiao explained the current situation helplessly.

"The ether's erosion is comprehensive. Although the building appears normal on the outside after being restored to its pre-fall state, all valid information stored in it has been contaminated by the ether."

"All the work records and data files my subordinates read turned into garbled code that was impossible to decipher."

"What about the ghosts? Can they communicate?"

"No, they are merely ethereal constructs, formed by the tainted breath of the Lemnian Void stealing the memories of living beings. They can only repeat a portion of the memories' owners' past actions. They lack intelligence and are unable to communicate. Even their memories are chaotic, with memories from different people often blending together within a single ghost. Due to these conflicting memories, the ghosts can only wander aimlessly."

Jiang Lianqiu noticed that after Feng Neumao finished explaining the current situation of the ghosts, Yixuan seemed a little disappointed.

Obviously, she still held on to the idea that if the ghost formed by the evil breath could communicate, perhaps she could use this opportunity to "see" her sister again.

Even though she knew very well that the sister was fake.

Feng Neumiao glanced at Yixuan intentionally or unintentionally and reminded him, "Those researchers didn't really live here. They were just poor imitations of the deceased's memories after receiving their etheric energy."

"At least I don't think that, even if the soul really exists, a fragile human soul can withstand the erosion of the ether for so many years in a place like Void Zero without dissipating."

"I understand what you mean." Yixuan nodded, quickly regaining his composure and smiling. "I know my sister won't come back. I've come this far over the years, and I won't lose my composure over something like this now."

"Master, Fu Fu will always be with you." Ju Fu Fu took the initiative to hold Yi Xuan's hand, trying to give her some comfort.

Standing on the edge of the fault, Jiang Lianqiu could clearly see the scenery outside.

Thick lead-gray clouds covered the sky tightly, and the sunlight that barely shone through the clouds seemed so weak and powerless, like the last groan of a dying world.

The area around the abandoned Helios building has been cleared, leaving only ruins.

The garrison troops were continuing to push the defense line outward. Shengli, who had received the order to rush to take up his post with the heavily armored Marines, originally wanted to report directly to Jiang Lianqiu, but was ordered in the command chain to immediately lead the team to be on guard outside.

At this time, Shengli was standing on a high place in the ruins and looking around. After sensing Jiang Lianqiu's gaze, the blonde girl took the initiative to look over, waved happily at Jiang Lianqiu, and jumped and danced.

And beside Shengli, Jiang Lianqiu also saw another familiar figure.

It was actually the trigger.

Although she was still wearing an eye mask, she was holding the heavy sniper rifle that Hood had specially ordered for her, standing behind Victory, looking like she was on guard.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the moment Jiang Lianqiu looked at him, Trigger straightened his back even more.

"So, what else did we find inside the Helios Agency?"

Jiang Lianqiu's voice drifted into Feng Nuoyimao's ears on the wind.

If it was just the information she just mentioned, it would not be worth it for the scientific officer to ask Jiang Lianqiu to come over.

"In the building's state before it was swallowed by the void, there was a space underground that theoretically should have been the core laboratory."

"But that space is constantly in a state of random phase transition, making it impossible to enter using any conventional means. If we try to break it in brute force, I'm worried we might destroy any important clues that might be inside."

Jiang Lianqiu immediately understood Feng Neumao's idea and turned around: "You want me to use my ability to stop time and keep it in a fixed phase state?"

"Yes."

"But if you do that, no one can get in except me."

"To be precise, no one can enter except you, Commander, and Jotaro Kujo."

"Him?" Jiang Lianqiu raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Even if he can do it, then what? We two are not researchers."

Feng Neumiao chuckled and expressed his true thoughts: "Commander, you should occasionally pay attention to the progress of others. Major Kujo has successfully trained his Stand and Ripple simultaneously to the point where his Stand can leave his body and move freely within a certain range!"

"In his own words, the range is too short, and hitting people isn't satisfying."

"I request that you, Commander, pause time and freeze the phase state of that laboratory. You and Major Kujo's double will then enter together. Major Kujo will remain outside the time-stopping range. Utilizing the connection between the double and the main body, you will communicate with your subordinates outside."

"Is JOJO so powerful now?" Jiang Lianqiu felt a burst of surprise in his heart. Making the stand move away from the main body is an ability that Jotaro has never mastered in the original work.

"Wait!" Yi Xuan couldn't help but interrupt, "If I heard correctly, Lian Qiu, you said pause time?"

"Just a little trick." Jiang Lianqiu grinned.

Yixuan rolled his eyes on the spot.

This is called a trick? Then what is her Yunkui Mountain magic?

"Okay, your plan is approved. However, I've always tried to expand the scope of the time stop. This time, I'm trying to limit it to a small area. This is my first attempt, so I might not succeed on the first try."

"I believe in the commander." Feng Nuoyimiao was very confident in Jiang Lianqiu's magic.

"In that case, we have to leave this building first."

After saying that, Jiang Lianqiu jumped up and directly jumped out of the fault to the outside of the building, and landed back to the ground lightly.

Soon, Feng Neumao and his men also evacuated the building.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Yixuan slowly moved closer to Jiang Lianqiu and whispered, "Lianqiu..."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Master Yixuan?"

"You didn't use that time-stopping ability to do anything weird when you were taking my picture that day, did you?"

"...No!" Jiang Lianqiu quickly denied it. Meeting Yixuan's gaze, he said seriously, "After all, it would be too boring if Master Yixuan didn't react at all."

Yi Xuan, who had just been admiring Jiang Lianqiu as a gentleman, opened his mouth wide upon hearing this, and finally gave him a fierce glare.

Chapter 202: Look carefully, the man who is spiraling up is called Hans

Ju Fu Fu was like a curious kitten, asking Jiang Lianqiu all sorts of questions, and the topic always revolved around the time stop just now.

"Brother Jiang, after pausing time, are we really unable to move?"

"Brother Jiang, you've vanished so quickly several times. Did you use this ability to leave as well?"

"That major can also stop time. Is he as powerful as you, Brother Jiang?"

Because she still had the bell Ling gave her around her neck, when Little Brain Axe jumped around, there were always bursts of crisp bell sounds, coupled with her shaking ears and swishing tail, which made Feng Neumeow watch for a while and then——

——Silently took out a cat toy...

Jiang Lianqiu: "No matter what, this is too much!"

As soon as Ju Fu Fu saw the cat toy, he jumped on it and started to flutter around because of Feng Neumeow.

Jiang Lianqiu: "You really are playing with cat toy!"

"I, I, I, I—" Ju Fufu, embarrassed by his instincts, froze in his place after coming to his senses, his face flushed red. Finally, he threw himself into Yixuan's arms with a cry, "Master~~~! Sister Feng bullied me!"

"Look, you made someone cry, you are responsible for comforting her." Jiang Lianqiu scolded unhappily, but he couldn't control the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Feng Nuoyimiao thought seriously for a long time, took out a small can of biscuits and handed it over: "Miss Fu Fu, this is an apology gift. I apologize for what happened just now."

After pouting, Ju Fufu took a bite of the cookie, his eyes immediately lit up.

"Delicious! I forgive you, what is this?"

"Cat food."

Ju Fufu: “…”

"Don't you like it? I think it tastes pretty good. I eat it quite often."

Tachibana Fufu: “——!!”

When Feng Nuoymiao returned to Jiang Lianqiu, covered in dust and with his red hair scratched into a mess by Ju Fufu, he was only described as "retribution".

At this moment, a small group of people suddenly approached quickly from the distance.

The leader was Jotaro Kujo, who had not been seen for a long time.

"Ah, ah, ah." As soon as they met, JOJO's signature catchphrase was, "What a big event, Commander."

"you……"

Jiang Lianqiu looked at JOJO in front of him strangely.

He was still wearing his iconic 1990s outfit, but now he had a large apron wrapped around his body. His hands were wet, and he was emitting a...

Fishy smell?

"Wow, is this gentleman a fishmonger?" Tachibana Fu Fu opened his eyes wide and looked at JOJO who looked like a fishmonger in front of him.

Jotaro Kujo was very kind to children. He lowered his head and smiled, "Do you want to eat fish? I'll bring you some later, little girl."

"Why did you really go selling fish?" Jiang Lianqiu was extremely puzzled. "Theoretically, your Joestar family is not short of money, right? I remember you have a big house in Tokyo."

"Commander, don't you also have the identity of a high school student?" Kujo Jotaro lowered the brim of his hat. "Besides, selling fish is quite fun."

"What's so fun about it?" Jiang Lianqiu couldn't figure it out.

Jotaro Kujo grinned, crackling his finger bones. "It was fun fighting the Yakuza thugs who came looking for trouble because we didn't obey the extortion demands of those bastards from the Agricultural Cooperative."

Jiang Lianqiu: “?”

So you're stinging me? But do Japanese agricultural cooperatives even get involved in aquaculture?
