JOJO: A bizarre adventure that begins with Demon Slayer

"Joseph? Joestar!?" Tom repeated unconsciously.

Joseph moved the two dead bodies and stacked them together, and said to Tom: "Okay, Tom. You have to be careful next, I am going to open the door of the control room."

"What?" Tom couldn't believe it. There was that terrifying monster outside. Opening the door would be a dead end.

"We have to figure out how the monster moves in the thick fog." Joseph stared at the corpse on the ground and said seriously, "Although the deceased is the largest, the situation is urgent now and there is no other way."

"Mr. Joseph? What do you want to do?" Tom covered his head, confused.

"I'm opening the door!" Joseph shouted towards the roof, and then the door of the control room opened in response.

Tom looked at this scene in disbelief and said, "Although the door is unlocked, it is locked. How could it open by itself?"

"Ahhh!" Joseph kicked the two corpses on the ground out of the door.

"Mr. Joseph, what on earth was he doing? He actually kicked out two dead bodies. Did I have an illusion? There were yellow sparks on his feet just now."

As soon as the two corpses fell into the fog, they heard a sound of breaking through the air outside, as if something hit the hull, and the hull shook violently.

Joseph hurriedly stabilized his body. Even if the ship's hull shook violently, he stood still and did not move at all.

But Tom fell to the ground due to the sudden shock, making him dizzy.

"What a great guy!" Tom couldn't help but sigh.

He got up from the ground, grabbed the countertop on the side and asked, "How's it going?"

"One of the corpses was eaten by a monster." Joseph said calmly, staring at the fog that was gradually spreading in.

Both corpses were connected to his substitute, the Purple Hermit.

He could feel that only one body had been attacked by the monster in the fog.

Soon after, the monster threw the body onto the boat with a "pop" sound.

His expression darkened, and he wanted to pull the two corpses back.

"Bang!" The hull began to shake violently again. Tom kept holding on to the countertop this time and was not as embarrassed as last time.

"Purple Hermit!" Joseph pulled the body back to the control room and immediately closed the door of the control room.

"Same as before, the door closed by itself again..." Tom looked at this scene with wide eyes and murmured in disbelief.

The Purple Hermit only pulled back one corpse, the one that was attacked by the monster for the first time.

Because the fog spreads quickly, it would be dangerous to delay it any longer.

"How is Mr. Joseph?" asked Tom eagerly.

"It seems that this monster can only attack one target at the same time." Joseph took back the stand-in tied to the corpse's leg and smiled, "We can use the interval between monster attacks to run to the deck above the ship's side, where there are lifeboats.

The space in the lifeboat is closed, and monsters cannot find us once inside. "

Tom was relieved to see that there was still life.

"We used the dead bodies to attract the attention of monsters as we did just now." Joseph said as he took out the key from the dead crew member.

Tom nodded, suddenly noticing the silent crew member who had been standing in the control room.

Tom thought that the other person was as frightened as himself, and comforted him: "It's okay. Mr. Joseph has found a way to escape. We will be safe."

The crew member still stood motionless in the center of the control room, without replying.

Tom didn't expect the other party to be so timid, and the situation was very critical now. Not just the scary monsters outside, but also this sinking ship. They must act immediately.

"Are you okay? This ship is sinking. We can't hold on for long. We must leave here immediately." Tom walked towards the other party and reminded him, but the other party still didn't respond.

"Tom, stop it!" Joseph suddenly shouted.

Tom looked back at the nervous Joseph and asked in confusion: "What's wrong, Mr. Joseph? We should escape immediately. But he is still here in a daze."

As he spoke, he pointed with his finger at the crew members who were standing motionless.

"Hey! Tom, don't talk." Joseph gently took two steps to the side and stared at the crew in the middle of the control room.

"Give me your gun slowly!"

Although Tom was puzzled, he still did as he was told. He slowly put the gun on the ground and pushed it over according to what Joseph said.

Joseph picked up the gun from the ground, put his right hand on his chin, and said, "It's so suspicious. This guy is so suspicious."

Tom looked back and said, "Mr. Joseph, I know this man. He is the boilerman on our ship."

"No!" Joseph said decisively, "Why did the boiler worker at the bottom of the ship come to the control room?"

Tom was about to speak. Joseph stopped him: "I know what you want to say. What you want to say is that the bottom of the boat was also attacked, and he was the survivor who ran up."

Tom swallowed. He really meant that.

"That's why it's strange!" Joseph's green eyes flickered, "The reason why the ship stopped was because the power system failed. From this, it can be concluded that the boiler room was attacked."

"But the monster is invisible. Without this layer of fog, he would be just like a blind man."

"The boiler room located at the bottom of the ship is supplied with oxygen by a closed oxygen supply system. Even if there is thick fog outside, the inside will not be affected."

"So the monsters never noticed the crew members working on the bottom of the ship. So how did they die?"

Joseph removed the safety on the side of the gun and loaded the gun.

"I was wondering at the beginning, Tom, you said you were a trainee sailor on this ship. I must have remembered correctly."

Tom nodded, indeed he had said that.

"Even you, a crew member who has just started working on this ship, can spot me as a stowaway, but this guy didn't notice anything was wrong at first."

Joseph shook his head and said, "You want to say that this guy might have been frightened, so he didn't notice it for a while?"

"How is this possible! Shouldn't you be more frightened when you meet a stranger in this situation? Think about what you looked like when you first met me, Tom!"

Tom recalled what he looked like when he first saw Joseph, and he was indeed horrified.

This stranger who suddenly appeared on the boat and had never seen him before made him very uneasy and even suspected that he was the murderer.

Tom looked at the familiar face in front of him, and felt a chill on his back for some reason.

"Look at the corpse in the control room again. Don't you see anything wrong?"

Tom glanced around and was shocked: "This is it?"

"You also noticed that the corpse in the control room is very different from the corpse I pulled back." Joseph pointed his pistol at the silent crew member.

"The same goes for the person who was killed next to you at that time. Their heads were bitten off, but their bodies were intact."

"You are looking at the corpse in the control room. The head is still there, but the internal organs have been pulled out."

For a moment, the air in the control room seemed to freeze.

"This, this..." Tom's voice trembled.

"Yes! In addition to the monsters outside, there is also a man-eating demon on this ship."

Joseph shouted loudly, and then kept pulling the trigger until the M1911 could no longer fire bullets.
