"It's like an evolution; my body seems to be undergoing some kind of change."
Just as Versus still didn't know what was happening, the nearby branches had already grown into vines.
"Whoosh—"
The vines rapidly detached from Father Pucci's body.
Then, it quickly pierced towards Versus's brain.
Seeing this, Versus was greatly alarmed.
He subconsciously tried to summon his Stand, Underground World, to block in front of him.
However, the vine strangely passed through the Stand and directly plunged into his brain.
Then it disappeared.
But Versus could feel that the vine had already taken root in his brain!
"Ugh, ah, ah, ah!!!!"
As the vine spread within his skull, intense pain instantly radiated from his brain throughout his entire body, as if tearing off a fingernail and then pouring alcohol onto the wound.
After the intense pain came an extreme itch.
But his arms were both broken, so he couldn't even scratch himself.
It was truly unbearable.
Fortunately, he was still within the space created by Underground World.
Otherwise, he would surely attract back the police who hadn't gone far.
As time passed little by little.
Some changes also appeared on Versus's body.
His teeth began to sharpen, and his muscles swelled up as if inflated.
Most importantly, he now craved blood intensely.
"Blood!!"
Almost instantly, he bit his severed arm as if he were a wild dog.
His two sharp teeth acted like syringes, instantly draining the blood from his arm.
After drinking the blood.
Versus's condition clearly improved significantly.
Then, he methodically walked towards Father Pucci's corpse.
"…"
Looking at his empty arms, Versus fixed his gaze on Father Pucci's body.
"Whoosh—"
A flash of light streaked across, and Father Pucci's arms were directly severed.
"Pfft—"
The next second, Versus's shoulders, which had stopped bleeding, now gushed out blood again.
And at the wound, one blood vessel after another emerged from within.
They wrapped around Father Pucci's arms.
Not long after.
The blood vessels reconnected.
Versus squeezed his "perfectly intact" arms, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Is this Father Pucci's bloodline? It truly is 'great'!"
"The blood in the body cannot be wasted either."
Versus licked the corner of his mouth; his arms hadn't fully recovered yet and still needed a large amount of life energy!
At this moment, Versus looked at Father Pucci on the ground again.
"Hiss—"
All ten fingers simultaneously pierced Father Pucci's body, causing the priest's entire blood flow to reverse.
Through his fingertips, the blood continuously poured into Versus's body.
Immediately, Versus's aura grew even stronger.
The appearance of Underground World also underwent some permanent changes… On the other side, inside the cafe.
Jolyne Cujoh was anxiously watching the hospital entrance.
She could feel that one of the three auras inside the hospital had vanished into thin air.
This made her somewhat nervous.
And just then.
Three dark figures suddenly appeared, blocking the sunlight from the group.
This displeased Jolyne Cujoh, and she immediately looked up, but when she saw the three figures, she instantly froze in place.
And at this moment, Kai Ishida said indifferently:
"Ladies, may we share a table? Especially Ms. Jolyne Cujoh, my friend here has fallen for you at first sight."
As his voice fell, Jolyne Cujoh tilted her head, her face full of bewilderment.
And Anasui, at this moment, also uncharacteristically blushed.
However, he didn't explain.
Seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming awkward, Emporio on the side quickly asked, "Brother Kai Ishida, where are Father Pucci and the others? Have they been dealt with?"
"Yes, Father Pucci is confirmed dead, and his last helper has both arms broken and can no longer use his Stand ability," Kai Ishida said with a smile.
"That's great!"
"Is it finally over?"
The atmosphere on the scene warmed up again.
And Jolyne Cujoh, excited, immediately hugged Anasui, who was closest to her.
"Ah…" Anasui's large hands had nowhere to rest.
Seeing this scene, Kai Ishida also covered his face helplessly.
I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it!
"Star Platinum."
With a low shout, Kai Ishida controlled Star Platinum, and smoothly placed Anasui's hand on Jolyne's shoulder.
After all, it was the first time, and if he had directly put his arm around her waist, it might have been an overreaction.
It would have been counterproductive instead.
And Jolyne was still in her excitement, completely unaware of what was happening.
Seeing that Jolyne in his arms didn't resist, Anasui also cast a grateful look at Kai Ishida.
The last trace of hostility also vanished into thin air.
Seeing this scene, everyone present voluntarily turned their backs.
It wasn't until a minute later that Jolyne Cujoh finally reacted.
She quickly broke free from Anasui's embrace, and two blushes appeared on her face.
"Th-that, that, I was just too excited, don't overthink it…"
"Alright, then let's go to a restaurant now and celebrate properly. Anasui is treating!"
Kai Ishida said with a smile.
The others also nodded in agreement.
And when Anasui heard this, he subconsciously wanted to object, but when he saw Jolyne Cujoh also looking at him, he finally nodded.
"Then Chinese food it is. I know a place that tastes really good! And it's not far!"
Kai Ishida continued.
"Chinese food?"
"I know, I know!" Emporio raised his hand, "Chinese food, that's Chinese style cuisine, including Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Hunan cuisine… In short, it's delicious food that makes your mouth water just thinking about it!"
"Brother Kai Ishida, I want to eat Braised Lion's Head!"
As Emporio spoke, saliva was already gradually secreting in his mouth.
"Alright, alright, alright." Kai Ishida also smiled and nodded in agreement.
Since coming to this world, he hadn't had a proper Chinese meal.
Instead, he ate cheese sandwiches every day.
Although equally delicious, for him, a traditional food lover, it was ultimately no match for traditional Chinese cuisine.
And through Jotaro's memories, he happened to know a Chinese restaurant nearby that tasted very good.
So he could only sacrifice Anasui's wallet to satisfy the taste buds of a few people!
"Chinese food! Here we come!"
