The chapter opens with a brief summary of the town of ''Windnights'' and eventually it shows that [[Dio Brando|Dio]] has taken refuge in a mansion near a graveyard where he has recovered from his burn wounds by feasting on hapless young women in secret with Jack the Ripper assisting him. Then Wang Chan walks in with the scar Jonathan made on his face and Dio's attention turns to the scar.
The chapter opens with a brief summary of the town of [[Windknight's Lot]], revealing that [[Dio Brando|Dio]] has taken refuge in a mansion there; he has managed to recover from most of his burn wounds at this time by feeding on the life force of the unfortunate women of the town. As he gives a woman's corpse to [[Jack the Ripper]], now a loyal servant, Dio explains his position at the top of the food chain and his plans to eventually rule all of humanity. As [[Wang Chan]] walks in with the scar [[Jonathan Joestar|Jonathan]] made on his face, Dio's attention turns to the scar and its cause.


Elsewhere Jonathan, Zeppeli, and Speedwagon are taking a horse drawn carriage to Windnights based on street knowledge from Speedwagon that Wang Chan retreated there. The trio then concludes that Dio resides in Windnights. Zeppeli laments though that even though he let Wang Chan escape so they could learn Dio's whereabouts, Dio most likely knows of the Ripple from Wang Chan. Zeppeli then asks Speedwagon for a corkscrew to open his wine bottle.
Elsewhere, Jonathan, [[Will Anthonio Zeppeli|Zeppeli]], and [[Robert E. O. Speedwagon|Speedwagon]] are taking a [[List of Vehicles#Windknight.27s Lot Carriage|horse drawn-carriage]] to Windknight's Lot. Based on street knowledge from Speedwagon, the trio had concluded that Dio is currently residing in the town. Zeppeli laments that even though he let Wang Chan escape so they could learn Dio's whereabouts, Dio now most likely knows of [[Ripple]] and its use. Zeppeli then asks Speedwagon for a corkscrew to open his bottle of wine.


The carriage ride through Windnights tunnel goes smoothly for a while but it suddenly stops for some reason still inside the tunnel. Speedwagon puzzled by this goes out to ask the driver why he stopped but Jonathan warns him that Dio's minions could be able to get to him more easily because they are in an enclosed dark tunnel with no light. Speedwagon undaunted goes out of the carriage anyway to ask the driver why he stopped. He finds out why. All of the horses have been killed and have had their heads removed and one of their heads has been shoved onto the stagecoach's head, who has died from giant lacerations in his back.
The carriage enters the tunnel entrance to Windknight's Lot. Jonathan wonders about [[Erina Pendleton|Erina]], whom he had left behind so as not to get her involved, without even saying goodbye; he vows to return to her. The carriage is suddenly stopped partway through the tunnel. Speedwagon, puzzled by this, goes out to ask the driver why they had stopped. Despite Jonathan's warnings about the lack of protective sunlight in the tunnel, Speedwagon steps out of the carriage to check on the driver. He quickly discovers that the horses have been decapitated and the driver killed, his corpse topped with one of the horses' heads. The man has several knives sticking out of his back.


Then something moves inside one of the horses necks and Zeppeli warns Speedwagon and Jonathan to get away from the horses. Suddenly Jack the Ripper crawls out of the horse's body up through its neck. Jonathan and Speedwagon stand in awe at this as it seems that Jack had somehow created this atrocity while the wagon was moving. Zeppeli, fazed, pokes a clean hole in the bottom of a wine bottle he had with him and he pours a glass of wine proclaiming he will fight Jack the Ripper as Jack emerges from the horse's body.

Zeppeli, unfazed, pokes a clean hole in the bottom of his wine bottle with his finger. As he reminds the other two to stand back, deciding to fight the [[zombie]] by himself, Jack the Ripper jumps out of the horse's corpse.

Jack the Ripper and Zeppeli the Strange, Part 4 (切り裂きジャックと奇人ツェペリ その④, Kirisaki Jakku to Kijin Tseperi Sono 4), originally Salem's Lot (呪われた町, Norowareta Machi, lit. Cursed Town) in the WSJ and tankobon releases, is the 21st chapter of Phantom Blood and the 21st chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga.

Summary

The chapter opens with a brief summary of the town of Windknight's Lot, revealing that Dio has taken refuge in a mansion there; he has managed to recover from most of his burn wounds at this time by feeding on the life force of the unfortunate women of the town. As he gives a woman's corpse to Jack the Ripper, now a loyal servant, Dio explains his position at the top of the food chain and his plans to eventually rule all of humanity. As Wang Chan walks in with the scar Jonathan made on his face, Dio's attention turns to the scar and its cause.

Elsewhere, Jonathan, Zeppeli, and Speedwagon are taking a horse drawn-carriage to Windknight's Lot. Based on street knowledge from Speedwagon, the trio had concluded that Dio is currently residing in the town. Zeppeli laments that even though he let Wang Chan escape so they could learn Dio's whereabouts, Dio now most likely knows of Ripple and its use. Zeppeli then asks Speedwagon for a corkscrew to open his bottle of wine.

The carriage enters the tunnel entrance to Windknight's Lot. Jonathan wonders about Erina, whom he had left behind so as not to get her involved, without even saying goodbye; he vows to return to her. The carriage is suddenly stopped partway through the tunnel. Speedwagon, puzzled by this, goes out to ask the driver why they had stopped. Despite Jonathan's warnings about the lack of protective sunlight in the tunnel, Speedwagon steps out of the carriage to check on the driver. He quickly discovers that the horses have been decapitated and the driver killed, his corpse topped with one of the horses' heads. The man has several knives sticking out of his back.

Something moves inside the neck of one of the horses, and Zeppeli warns Speedwagon and Jonathan to step back. Jack the Ripper uses a knife to cut himself out of the horse's body, through its neck. Jonathan and Speedwagon stare in horror, as it seems that Jack had somehow managed to do this while the wagon was moving. Zeppeli, unfazed, pokes a clean hole in the bottom of his wine bottle with his finger. As he reminds the other two to stand back, deciding to fight the zombie by himself, Jack the Ripper jumps out of the horse's corpse.
