In 1984, a fire once broke out at Green Dolphin Street State Prison.
Countless buildings were incinerated in that fire, and the Ghost Room came into being.
Through his Stand ability, Emporio could use all the ghost objects within the room, but that was all he could do—just use them.
Inside the room.
Emporio was sprawled on the floor, looking at the computer in front of him, the screen displaying information about vehicle operation.
Although he was in a cold prison, Emporio was still very studious. Over the past few years, he had successfully self-taught car driving, helicopter piloting, and more.
"So that's how it is?"
"Thump—"
Emporio, who was diligently taking notes, suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
He subconsciously thought it was Anastasia returning.
"Is that you, Ana...sui?"
But when he turned his head, he realized that a strange figure had entered the room.
He was wearing a Guard uniform with traces of a struggle.
"Hi~"
Cain greeted him with a smile.
Emporio, however, instantly became wary and then ran towards a cabinet nearby.
In the cabinet's drawer, there was a ghost pistol.
This Ghost Room was his mother's Stand. Even he only had the right to use it and did not have the ability to kick others out of the room.
Therefore, that ghost pistol was the last weapon he could use to protect himself.
"Buzz—"
But the next second, a mysterious ripple swept through. Cain 's arm had already pressed down on the drawer, and at the same time, he leaned his head close to Emporio's ear, whispering, "Relax a little, I mean no harm."
"You are… you are the Guard who stole Jolyne's father's Stand!"
Seeing the other party's incredible way of moving, Emporio instantly realized and also gave up resisting.
In front of Star Platinum, he was just an unarmed child.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Staring at him quietly, Emporio's eyes revealed a maturity uncommon for a boy.
"How about… we cooperate?"
As Cain 's words fell.
Emporio was also stunned in place.
"Cooperate?"
...On the other side, the Guards sent by Father Pucchi to search had also relayed the message back to the chapel.
The bright moonlight shone through the window onto the Father's desk.
"You didn't find Star Platinum's Stand Disc?!" The figure of Pale Snake emerged behind Father Pucchi, then placed a Stand Disc on the desk.
"Could it have been picked up by another inmate?"
"Never mind. As long as it doesn't return to Jotaro Kujo's hands, Star Platinum in anyone else's hands is just a useless piece of junk that can't be used."
The conditions for using a DISC were extremely stringent. First, one must possess the spiritual power to control a Stand. If the spiritual power is insufficient, the DISC will either pop out directly from the body or suffer a Stand backlash similar to the Arrow Virus.
And the [spiritual power] and [will] required by Star Platinum were extremely powerful.
Therefore, without an extremely strong [obsession] with Star Platinum, it would be impossible to use that Disc.
Thinking of this, the Father casually picked up a book from a nearby bookshelf and then inserted the Disc into the book.
The next second, Jotaro Kujo's memories appeared on the pages.
"The souls of more than thirty-six heinous criminals… fourteen secret words… the time of the New Moon…"
Unbeknownst to him, the moonlight was replaced by sunlight, and Father Pucchi wearily rubbed the corners of his eyes.
"A whole night passed without me realizing it. DIO's notes are truly captivating." He extracted Jotaro's memory Disc from the book and handed it to Pale Snake for safekeeping.
Then the Father left the room, preparing for the day's work.
At the same time, Emporio also led Cain to Jolyne Cujoh, who was being held in solitary confinement.
"Hey…"
But before Cain could speak, a light blue fist woven from threads smashed out from within the iron bars.
Along with it was Jolyne Cujoh's furious roar,
"You scoundrel, how dare you appear before me again!"
"Bang—"
Star Platinum's arm appeared behind Cain , steadily catching the punch, and then Cain calmly said, "I'm here to discuss cooperation, not to fight."
At this moment, Emporio on the side nodded repeatedly, "Jolyne, listen to me first, he really isn't a bad guy… or rather, not entirely a bad guy."
"Are you trying to tell me that someone who just recently snatched my dad's Stand from my hands and caused him to be unconscious is a good person?"
Jolyne Cujoh turned around angrily.
"Ah, this…"
Hearing this, Emporio also spread his hands helplessly, indicating that he had nothing more to say.
At this moment, Cain threw a Disc into Jolyne Cujoh's cell.
"Look at this, and perhaps you'll change your mind."
"What is this…?" At first glance at the Disc, Jolyne Cujoh was still a bit confused, but when she saw the image displayed on the Disc, she could no longer remain calm, exclaiming in surprise, "Pale Snake !"
At this moment, Cain seized the opportunity and said, "Think about it, he is the real culprit who caused Dr. Jotaro Kujo to fall into a coma. We can cooperate to retrieve your father's memory Disc. By then, your father can still return to normal."
Hearing this, Jolyne Cujoh fell silent again for a moment, then sneered, "What about Star Platinum, you thief!"
"Hmm… Although I can't refute the identity of a thief, but…"
"As far as I know, the reason Dr. Jotaro Kujo rarely returned home was because he was dealing with the lingering issues of the [Arrow] worldwide."
"That's not a reason for you to steal my father's Stand, you thief." Although she said this, Jolyne Cujoh was still curiously anticipating Cain 's next words.
"I don't deny that." Cain frankly admitted this identity, and then continued, "You should remember about twelve years ago, when you had a high fever, your father not only didn't come to your side but instead boarded a plane to Sakura."
Hearing this, Jolyne Cujoh paused.
"Was that also to deal with some so-called [Arrow]?"
"That's right, and also your great-uncle's matters, but it was mainly to deal with issues related to the [Arrow]."
"Jolyne, I'm sure you also want a father who can be by your side when you're sick, right?"
At this moment, Jolyne Cujoh felt that the man in front of her had become strange.
Although they hadn't met many times to begin with, the feeling Cain gave her now was like a cunning fox.
"How about it, do you want to cooperate…?"
