For a time.
The young Onmyoji were stunned in place, staring blankly at the distant Jotaro Kujo and Star Platinum.
They thought they had encountered a cosplayer.
As it turned out.
That seemed to be the real deal.
Not expecting this, they lost any urge to quickly complete their performance. Hesitantly, they got up and crouched back down. After several attempts, one Onmyoji finally spoke:
"JoJo is just an anime, it can't be real. Let's make a move, capture JoJo and complete our performance."
As his words were spoken.
The Onmyoji beside him twitched at the corner of his mouth:
"But the Onmyōgi won't lie. Have you ever seen a yokai that looks exactly like JoJo? Look, the Onmyōgi even shows that star-shaped mole, proving it's real. If it's not JoJo, fine, but if it is JoJo, we'll die."
Just then.
Abe, who hadn't said much, suddenly interjected:
"If it really is JoJo, his ability..."
Although he only spoke halfway and didn't continue, all the Onmyoji present shivered. The older generation of Onmyoji didn't know JoJo, but these young people did.
Jotaro Kujo's ability was a Stand user named 'Star Platinum'. This Stand was powerful, possessing super speed and strength, as well as the most perverse ability to stop time. Star Platinum at its peak could even stop time for 5 seconds.
It was known that the outcome of battles was often decided in an instant. In these five seconds, unless they were JoJo's arch-nemesis Dio, who could exchange punches with JoJo's "ora ora," they would be walking to their deaths.
At this moment.
The Onmyoji who had spoken first said with a wry smile:
"So, are we still going to capture him?"
With his words.
All the Onmyoji, including this one, looked at Abe. He was the strongest present, and whether to act or not was up to him.
"Let's capture him."
Abe thought for a moment, sensing Jotaro Kujo's demonic energy, and added:
"He's a demon now, so he must be captured. However, let's not make a move ourselves. We should notify the Onmyōryō and have them send powerful Onmyoji."
His words were met with unanimous agreement from the Onmyoji present.
...
Tokyo, Onmyōryō Headquarters.
At this time.
Abe's father, the head of the renowned Abe family of Onmyoji, the current Deputy Director of the Onmyōryō, and the next Director, Deputy Director Abe, was wiping sweat with a tissue, sitting somewhat wearily in his office chair:
"Finally finished explaining. Why was Sadako so big?"
Not long ago, the legendary 'Sadako' was captured. He went to see out of curiosity, and also to build momentum for his future tenure as Director. Who knew that Sadako would be so large, causing the families of the Onmyoji killed by Sadako to inquire. He had been dealing with them until now and had just finished explaining.
Just as he was about to make himself some tea to rest.
The theme song of "Dragon Ball" rang out.
This was his mobile phone ringtone, set by his son as a special ringtone. Whenever this ringtone sounded, it meant his son was calling.
Deputy Director Abe heard it and answered the phone with some surprise:
"Xiao An, why are you calling me at this time? You..."
However, before he could finish speaking.
From the phone, Abe's voice suddenly came:
"Father, I've discovered two yokai. I was planning to resolve them to complete today's task, but I found... how should I put it, these two yokai are a bit special, never recorded in the yokai catalog."
"Hmm?! Are you sure? Tell me what they look like specifically."
Deputy Director Abe's spirits immediately lifted.
Discovering never-before-seen yokai was as big a news as a scientist discovering a new species. And to discover two at once, how could he not be excited? This was enough to make him famous in the world of Onmyoji, and even in the global demon-exorcism community.
"Ahem, these yokai are like companions, closely connected, like mother and child yokai."
"Nani? Companion yokai? Quick! Quick, tell me what they look like, and take pictures. Even if you can't capture them, you must leave photos as evidence."
Deputy Director Abe was extremely excited.
Never-before-seen companion yokai, damn it, I'm going to be famous, haha. Is this sacrificing Abe to achieve my fame as Deputy Director Abe? Hahaha.
While he was excited.
Words came from the phone:
"Father, don't get excited yet. I've already taken pictures, but their appearance... One of them is wearing a long coat and a white hat... and the other one..."
Abe did not conceal anything. Facing his father's urgent inquiry, he could only brace himself and describe the appearance of JoJo and Star Platinum.
Following this.
Deputy Director Abe was stunned:
"Let's not talk about the blue-purple skinned one first. That strong man in the white coat, Xiao An, are you sure the ghost you're describing? Isn't this a Nurarihyon? I remember Nurarihyon can change outfits to look handsome."
"It's not a Nurarihyon, Father. I used the Onmyōgi to test it, and that's what it looks like. Oh, Father, you checked my Onmyōgi today, is it definitely not broken?"
"How could it be broken? I checked it myself. Since the Onmyōgi measured it, it must be its true form. It seems to be a very handsome yokai, and a companion one at that. This is unprecedented. Xiao An, quickly capture him, I'll send someone to escort him immediately."
"Father, I was just about to tell you this. I feel like I can't beat this yokai, so I called for reinforcements."
"You should have said so earlier, Xiao An, wait for me. Keep a close watch on that companion yokai, don't let him escape, I'll call a powerful Onmyoji to help right away."
With that.
Deputy Director Abe hung up the phone, picked up another phone, and notified one of his subordinates, an Onmyoji who had reached the level of a top-tier Demon King:
"You go find Xiao An quickly, I've sent you the location. Xiao An might have discovered a never-before-seen yokai. I hope you can capture him. Remember, if you can capture him alive, try to do so."
"Understood! Deputy Director Abe, I'm on my way!"
After completing the contact.
Deputy Director Abe finally breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of excitement on his face:
"First, I captured Sadako, and now I'm about to capture a never-before-seen companion yokai. Haha, is my tenure as Director going to be so brilliant from the start? Ah, forget it, let's take it step by step. Next, I'll wait for the yokai to be captured, and then hold a press conference for the demon-exorcism world."
...
On the other side.
In the alley in Tokyo where 'JoJo' was located.
At this time.
After a period of anxious waiting, Abe and the other Onmyoji finally welcomed a powerful Onmyoji, and recognized the arrival:
"I knew it, it's Abe's second uncle."
"That's amazing, Brother Abe. You directly called your second uncle. This is a top-tier Demon King level Onmyoji."
Facing the flattery of the other Onmyoji, Abe smiled and said solemnly:
"It's nothing, after all, we have to deal with JoJo. But we can't be careless, that's JoJo after all."
At this moment.
Abe's second uncle walked over, had a brief conversation with Abe, and then saw the ghost couple not far away, his eyes lit up:
"What a special yokai, it really is never-before-seen. Or rather, I feel like I've seen it somewhere. Never mind, let's not talk about this. Big brother said to capture the yokai as soon as possible, I'll make a move first to prevent any accidents."
Saying this.
Although he knew he was powerful, facing an unknown yokai, Abe's second uncle dared not be careless. He also asked:
"Xiao An, you've been observing here for so long, have you discovered what this yokai's abilities are? Tell me."
"Haven't discovered anything, but Uncle, we think this yokai might have extremely high speed, and super strength, and..."
As he spoke.
Abe recalled his knowledge of JoJo and revealed its abilities:
"And he might have precision beyond machinery, able to catch bullets fired at almost zero distance, able to see blurry flies clearly and sketch flies in photos with extreme accuracy, eyesight beyond microscopes. Almost nothing can escape its gaze."
"And he might have stabbing attacks with his index and middle fingers extended, able to slightly extend his range for attacks."
"And he might become stronger as he fights and accumulates experience."
"And he might have the ability to stop time, up to 5 seconds."
"And..."
"And if he suddenly shouts 'Ora Ora,' Uncle, you must run. That's when he's about to throw punches. His punches are very fast. Even if you are a top-tier Demon King, you might not be able to block them."
At this moment.
Regarding Abe's detailed account of information.
Second Uncle's eyes widened to the extreme...
