"You... what are you talking about?"
Hearing Fang Mo's words, the man across from him quickly shook off his arm. "I don't have any children. Instead of saying that, we should be focusing on making more money."
As he spoke, a sly glint flashed across the man's eyes.
"You must be very interested in this box, right?"
The man suddenly grinned as if he'd understood something, revealing a set of broken, yellow teeth. "Fine, I'll give you this, but you have to help me out. These teeth... should fetch a good price."
Having said that, the man reached out to grab the person lying on the ground.
"Wait, the person isn't dead yet and you're already pulling out their teeth?"
Fang Mo, witnessing this, couldn't help but comment. "Did you ruin your teeth from chewing betel nuts? Are you jealous of people with good teeth now?"
"What? He's not dead?"
Hearing Fang Mo's words, the man was also stunned. "Um..."
He looked at the unconscious nobleman on the ground and remembered that he had just stolen the man's ring. What if the man woke up and caused him trouble?
As he thought about this, a dreadful idea crossed his mind. But before he could act, Fang Mo suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, he should be thanking us."
As if to confirm Fang Mo's words, the 'corpse' on the ground suddenly woke up at that moment and grabbed the man's arm.
"What!?"
Caught off guard by the 'corpse,' the man was clearly startled. His hand trembled, and he threw the box out. Due to the violent shaking, a stone mask fell out of the box.
Before he could do anything, the 'corpse' on the ground slowly opened his eyes.
"Is it... you who saved me?" The awakened nobleman looked up with difficulty at the man and then at Fang Mo beside him, speaking in a weak and anxious tone. "Where is my wife Mary? Are my wife and child... alright?"
"Ah? Uh..."
Seeing the noble suddenly wake up, the sly man was also taken aback.
But before he could react, Fang Mo, who was standing next to him, spoke up: "It's quite sad to say, but your wife Mary has now become 'Bloody Mary.' Of course, the coachman is the same, but your son is safe, don't worry."
"Ah... yes, yes, yes, please rest assured."
Upon hearing this, the cunning man quickly nodded in agreement.
"Is she... dead?" After hearing this unfortunate news, the nobleman was instantly filled with sorrow, tears streaming down his eyes as he choked up, "Is this also fate?"
However, he quickly composed himself.
"My surname is Joestar. You have saved my life, and I will repay you."
After taking a deep breath, Joestar, holding back his sorrow, said to the two, "While I am still clear-headed, could you tell me your names?"
"Huh?"
Hearing Joestar's words, the cunning man was stunned.
He subconsciously turned to look at Fang Mo. As he had said, this nobleman really did regard him as a life-saver and was foolishly thanking him, but... how did he know all this?
As for how Fang Mo knew this?
That's obvious.
If Joestar didn't play dumb under such circumstances, he would surely be killed to silence him, especially in this era where killing someone is all too common.
Joestar, being a noble, isn't foolish; he can think this through.
But just because Joestar and Fang Mo could figure it out doesn't mean the cunning man could. They are not on the same wavelength; he just thinks the nobleman in front of him is easy to deceive. So he hurriedly introduced himself, "I am called... Dario Brando, a commoner."
'Dario... Dario… Brando?'
Fang Mo glanced at Dario Brando and couldn't help but comment, "What kind of name is this, soup companion? No wonder Dio is called Diao Soup, has the Brando family been naming failures for generations? Big material stewing Diao or something…"
"Are you mocking me?"
Upon hearing this, Dario Brando was immediately displeased.
However, before he could do anything, Fang Mo suddenly smiled and stared at him.
At that moment, Dario Brando felt a sudden chill. For some reason, the young man in front of him felt creepy.
He has fought and brawled for decades, but has never encountered such a weird feeling before.
The other person seemed like some sort of unknown creature wrapped in human skin. Just staring at him like this made him tremble uncontrollably all over, and his scalp tingled in waves. This indescribable fear was even hundreds of times worse than the feeling the mask had just given him.
"You... you..."
Dario Brando looked pale and couldn't even speak.
However, at this moment, George Joestar saved him by directly asking Fang Mo, "Sir... may I ask how should I address you?"
"Oh, you can call me Fang Mo," Fang Mo casually replied, but after a thought, he added, "You can also call me Steve, a wizard."
As Fang Mo turned his head to look at George Joestar, the oppressive feeling disappeared instantly.
"Mr. Brando, Mr. Steve..."
George Joestar nodded, not caring that the other person claimed to be a wizard. In fact, in 1868 England, many people still believed in alchemy and astrology, so claiming to be a wizard was no big deal. So he said weakly, "I... George Joestar, will never forget your kindness."
After saying that, he quickly passed out again.
The atmosphere suddenly became silent.
Dario Brando looked nervously at Fang Mo, seemingly a little fearful of him.
Fang Mo, however, didn't care about him at all, because he was currently troubled by something else.
Yes, he had indeed crossed over to the world of JoJo, and had just caught the first major event, that is, the crash involving George Joestar. This is the very first scene in all six parts of JoJo.
It all started because George Joestar had an accident, and Brando discovered and wanted to steal his belongings.
From this moment on, the blood destiny of the two families became entangled.
As Fang Mo watched the scene before him, an uncontrollable thought emerged in his mind: the place where dreams begin.
He had indeed come to the world of JoJo, but to be honest, it was a bit too early; it's currently 1868, which is even earlier than the timeline of the first X-Men battle.
"Why did it throw me near such a big event?"
Thinking of the current time point, Fang Mo also began to feel a headache: "Wouldn't it be better to throw me into Egypt or Morioh? Italy would work too. Now... I've become the ancestor of all Stand users."
"This guy..."
Dario Brando looked at Fang Mo. This guy had been talking strangely to himself since the beginning. It's clearly raining, but he's not wet at all. All these illogical aspects were stimulating his nerves. Dario is just a low-level scum, and these illogical oddities really made him extra nervous.
However, just as the two were lost in their own thoughts, under the rain's wash, much of the blood also flowed onto the stone mask.
The mask suddenly began to vibrate restlessly, followed by a clicking sound. Numerous sharp, curved bone spikes suddenly protruded from the mask, making the whole mask instantly grim.
It was obvious that if anyone put on this thing, their entire brain would likely be pierced in an instant.
These bone spikes were curved and sharp, making the mask look as if it had come to life.
"What!?"
Dario Brando was already on edge, and was startled by the suddenly activated stone mask.
He couldn't help it; in this dark, rainy night, he had seen too many illogical and unusual things. Just standing there, this man named Steve made him shiver. In this context, the transformation of the mask was even more hair-raising.
Now, Dario Brando just wanted to leave this place at all costs.
But the problem was that George Joestar was still lying on the ground. In order to repay this nobleman's favor, he had no choice but to stay here for the time being and try to save someone.
However, unlike Dario's fear, Fang Mo's face was full of a look of surprise at this moment.
Because the moment the stone mask activated, a system prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind.
[System prompt: 'Blood and Life Essence' research completed. You have gained 50% new module download permission.]
"Hmm?"
Hearing this system prompt, Fang Mo reacted instantly.
If it was just about researching blood, Fang Mo might be a bit confused. But when it came to life essence, he couldn't afford not to understand.
This is a magic module called Blood Magic.
Although Fang Mo had not delved into it, he roughly knew what this module was about. Like its name, this module can turn blood into life essence, and then use it to make equipment or cast magic. The entry level is also very simple, just build an altar and then crazily bleed.
After all, it's a module for collecting fresh blood.
It seemed quite reasonable to use the stone mask to unlock it.
But the problem was that the stone mask only unlocked 50% of the module's permissions, which was a bit of a headache. Who knows where to unlock the other 50% of the module's permissions?
Could it be done by crazily draining vampires?
Or find the perfect stone mask embedded with Aether Redstone?
"Forget it, let's talk about it later."
Shaking his head, Fang Mo temporarily set aside this thought and turned his attention to George Joestar in front of him. In any case, saving people is the most important thing right now. Otherwise, it would be laughable if this guy died; the whole JOJO hasn't even started yet and it's already coming to an end.
