Zongman: My five senses are connected with the proud daughter of the world

Until now.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and take a nap, the alloy gate suddenly opened with a sound of pressure relief.

Christina walked in and looked at Jotaro Kujo expressionlessly, then glanced behind him.

The Stand, Star Platinum, was also looking at her.

"The commander has returned, follow me."

Having said this, Christina turned and walked away.

Jotaro Kujo clicked his tongue again, put down his legs, stood up, straightened his clothes, pulled his hat on his head, and took a step to catch up.

With just a thought, Star Platinum hugged the lead box and followed him out of the room.

While following Christina through the alloy corridor, Jotaro Kujo was thinking about another thing.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion - no, it’s definitely not an illusion.

When the substitute appeared behind him, he found that his body was rapidly returning to its youthful state. It was not a change in appearance, but the power that continued to surge in his body.

He seemed to have returned to the state of his most energetic period in his twenties.

“Not bad…”

Not long after, Jotaro Kujo found Christina stopped in front of a door.

"Please, the commander is inside at the moment."

After glancing at Christina, Jotaro Kujo said nothing, but just turned his eyes to look at the slowly opening door.

He admitted that he was actually... a little nervous?

(The Silver Crown Star Ring...even I've heard of this superpower countless times.)

(That college-aged kid next door seems to have always dreamed of working for this group?)

(Heh, he would never have imagined that there was such a big secret inside this silver crown star ring.)

Shaking his head, Jotaro Kujo's heels tapped on the ground, and he walked into the room with his Stand and the lead box.

To his surprise, the world behind the door was not the same as what he had seen and heard before, a sci-fi scene like an alien base, but a gorgeous room.

The floor was covered with exquisite and expensive soft carpets, and the decoration of the room reminded him of England during the Victorian era. Every detail made him feel an inexplicably familiar atmosphere that he had never encountered before.

(Is it influenced by the old man’s bloodline?)

The Qiao family were British gentlemen back then.

Jotaro Kujo regained his composure, walked into the room, and saw the five people in the room clearly.

A young boy who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with an incredibly exquisite beauty, was sitting on a gorgeous chair and looking at him.

A silver-haired girl dressed as a maid was standing beside the boy.

On the sofa next to them, two little girls of the same age as the boy sat side by side.

as well as--

What concerned him most was the red-haired woman with a look that seemed to want to dissect him.

He frowned and took a step back, standing straight with his legs slightly apart.

He leaned slightly sideways, one hand in his trouser pocket, raised the other hand, pulled down the brim of his hat, and looked at Jiang Lianqiu: "Are you the commander they are talking about?"

Jiang Lianqiu, who was originally a little confused, saw his eyes light up after Kujo Jotaro stood still. He clapped his hands and laughed, "Hey~ It's just right! JOJO standing! This is just right!"

Kujo Jotaro: "?"

Although the Jotaro Kujo in front of him was much more mature than the younger version he was familiar with in his memory, his charm was still the same.

"Can you perform that?" Before Kujo Jotaro could speak again, Jiang Lianqiu said, "That one... Oola Oola Oola? Or maybe a 'Yakamachi (It's so noisy)!'"

Jotaro Kujo felt that the commander in front of him must have some serious illness.

"Oh my, I'm not here to play with children." He shook his head and took the lead box from Star Platinum. However, he didn't give it to Jiang Lianqiu right away. Instead, he asked, "Although I'm almost certain that you are the person that my grandfather said I should return this to, I still need to confirm it again."

After a pause, Jotaro Kujo seemed to be holding back something, and finally asked: "The bigger the wind and waves..."

"...the more expensive the fish?"

Jiang Lianqiu responded subconsciously.

"You're not really going to become a fishmonger and sell fish, are you?"

Jotaro Kujo was full of questions.

"...My family...is quite wealthy."

It's so funny. His grandfather inherited a huge family business, so how could he be the one selling fish?

But...why do you think selling fish is interesting?

(I must have been led astray...!)

Jotaro Kujo rubbed his temples and suddenly felt very tired.

Chapter 51: Out of Control, Distortion, and Stand-ins

When Jotaro Kujo walked in, Eriri and Utaha Kasumigaoka were observing this man the whole time.

This is a middle-aged man whose appearance and temperament are completely different from the most common Japanese men in the Reiwa era.

Perhaps because he is half Western, he has a sturdy body, tall stature, and broad torso that is far superior to the average Japanese man.

The sharp-eyed Kasumigaoka Utaha even noticed that there was a star-shaped birthmark on the back of Jotaro Kujo's neck.

The girl couldn't help but recall that her grandfather seemed to have mentioned that old man Joseph, who had gone on adventures with him, also had such a birthmark on the back of his neck.

After glancing at Jotaro Kujo's face, which had been serious and stern from beginning to end, Utaha Kasumigaoka turned to look at Jiang Lianqiu.

Sure enough, compared to this tough guy, it is more comfortable to look at my junior brother~

Jotaro Kujo didn't care about the thoughts of the two little girls in his eyes. After confirming Jiang Lianqiu's identity, he took the initiative to step forward, put the lead box on the desk, and pushed it with his fingertips, and the lead box slid in front of Jiang Lianqiu.

"I've brought the item. You can check it out right here. But I have to say I've never opened this box before. I've only heard the old man say it's called the 'Time Worm Scale'. I have no idea what it's used for or what it looks like."

Belfast took the initiative to step forward and open the lead box.

The lead box was covered with soft silk fabric, which was embroidered with wonderful patterns in gold thread.

The scales of the Time Insect, which glowed coldly in the darkness, were the size of a palm and lay quietly on the silk fabric.

The material seemed to be some kind of chitin, but when the soft light in the room shone on the scales, Jiang Lianqiu was stunned and seemed to see many phantoms of the past.

He nodded and motioned for Belfast to hand the lead box to von Neumeow for inspection.

The red-haired chief scientific officer had been standing nearby, looking eager to try. After getting permission, she swung her hands, leaving afterimages, and snatched the lead box from Belfast. Her golden eyes quickly shot out two scanning rays, covering the scales of the Time Insect.

This bizarre scene made Jotaro Kujo's body tense for a moment, but the two girls who already knew that this sister was a mecha servant did not react much.

"We can't confirm whether this is the genuine 'Time Insect Scale' mentioned in the Starport archives. We need to conduct further detailed inspection. After all, we don't have any historical records of obtaining such rare treasures."

Von Neumann hid the light in his eyes and said excitedly.

"But the scales themselves do possess the power to distort space and time. In fact, Commander, this box is no ordinary lead box. It contains our technology, which can be used to block the scales from interfering with the normal space and time outside."

"Perhaps you haven't noticed, but after the box was opened, the flow of time around us has slowed by 0.3%."

"Really?" Ying Lili took out her cell phone to check the time, and immediately found that the time displayed on it was almost seven o'clock in the evening.

The little girl didn't notice anything, until Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her head and looked over for a while before saying in surprise, "Sawamura-san, there's no cell signal!"

"This is normal," von Neumeow explained. "The scales are interfering with the flow of time nearby, causing a misalignment with the normal time outside. This will prevent Ms. Eriri's phone from receiving signals from the outside world."

"This isn't just a time difference caused by ordinary relativistic effects. It involves deeper principles. After all, satellites in orbit can still communicate smoothly with base stations on the ground. The satellite's own time flows at a different speed than the ground."

Jiang Lianqiu could understand this very well.

According to the special theory of relativity, time on a high-speed moving satellite will be slower than time on the ground.

According to the principles of general relativity, artificial satellites in areas with weaker Earth's gravitational field will speed up due to time dilation.

Under the combined influence of the two phases, artificial satellites must calibrate their own relatively precise time and that of the ground at all times. Otherwise, a slight difference at the microsecond level will cause huge errors of several kilometers during ground navigation.

——But the time difference caused by the relativistic effect will definitely not cause the radio signals to be cut off.

With a snap, von Neumeow closed the lead box, and Eriri found that her cell phone signal soon returned.

"I will quickly research a method to activate the scales' ability to distort space and time. Then, Commander, please use the hunting and tracking technique as a guide, and we'll be able to pinpoint the specific time and space where Dio fled. Well, that's the theory."

At the end of his speech, von Neumeow pushed up his black-framed glasses, his golden eyes filled with the confidence that is unique to top scholars.

"Dior..."

Jotaro Kujo didn't pay much attention to what von Neumeow said at first, but after hearing the name Dio, his heart beat violently again.

Jiang Lianqiu caught the strange look on Jotaro Kujo's face - as expected, the fate of the Qiao family and Dio to fight to the death, can it not be broken even across time and space?

The intelligent star god of Bengtie will insert anchor points into the timeline of the universe through careful calculations to ensure that certain things will happen at certain times.

The Last Star God King went backward along the timeline again, reversing the past and the future.

Is there really such a thing as fate in this world?

After thinking about it, Jiang Lianqiu suppressed his thoughts and focused his attention on Jotaro Kujo... and the Star Platinum behind him.

It was a burly humanoid stand with a blue-purple body. It had the same burly figure as Jotaro Kujo, and even had somewhat similar facial features, but looked younger - like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Jotaro Kujo.

This ability originates from the spiritual will of the possessor. If it is set up correctly, then based on the situation of the stand itself, one can judge what kind of person the stand user is.

It seems that the middle-aged version of Jotaro Kujo, who has awakened Star Platinum, has been living a peaceful life in this time and space, but his inner essence is no different from the original version.

"Can you guys see the Stand behind Mr. Kujo?"

Jiang Lianqiu asked.

But the ones he looked at were Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri.

"Substitute? What substitute?" Eriri opened her clear eyes, puzzled.

(Shangshang, what about you?)

"Of course I can see it! As long as you can see it, Xiao Qiuzi, I can see it too - is that thing really not a ghost?"

While responding to Su Chang in his mind, Jiang Lianqiu stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "I remember... the so-called stand ability in this world should have originated from some kind of alien virus contained in a meteorite that fell on Cape York, Greenland tens of thousands of years ago?"

Chapter 52: Buhao! The Trees Are Talking!

According to Araki's original setting, the stand seems to come from an alien virus carried by a meteorite.

This virus can infect Earth's creatures and will most likely kill them, but it can also stimulate the potential of survivors and awaken their stand abilities.

The ancients on Earth once used meteorites to create several arrows, and these "arrows" were later used to awaken stand abilities.

As long as someone is wounded by an arrow and survives, he or she can awaken his or her own stand.

Of course, Jiang Lianqiu would not simply think that this virus was just a virus in the pure biological sense. It must contain some supernatural abilities related to spiritual power.

Otherwise, it would not be enough to explain why the stand disappeared from this world after Mr. Kasumigaoka performed the ceremony (tentative).

Recalling what he could remember about the settings of the Stand, Jiang Lianqiu gave everyone some popular science explanation, and focused on explaining Jotaro Kujo's Star Platinum.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri looked at each other. The two girls tried their best to open their eyes wide and stared behind Jotaro Kujo, trying to see something.

Jotaro Kujo put one hand in his trouser pocket and supported his chin with the other: "I see. Thank you for the explanation, Commander-chan... ahem, Commander-sir."

Jotaro Kujo shuddered violently just as he said the word "brat".

Von Neumeow, who had just been acting like a mad scientist, almost instinctively threw a punch when he suddenly burst out with such hostility.

(illusion?)

Jotaro Kujo carefully observed Von Neumeow, whose attention was once again on the lead box, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.

(Ah, ah, better be careful.)

"Commander, I'm a little concerned about the man you mentioned just now, Dio."

Looking at Jiang Lianqiu again, Jotaro Kujo finally couldn't resist the urge to ask Dio for specific information.

Jiang Lianqiu smiled, as if to say "As expected".

"Didn't your grandfather tell you about your Qiao family's old enemy?"
