[JOJO] Corinne's Wonderful Journey

Four days later, Kelin set foot on the land of Cairo again.

It has been nearly a month since she left last time.

It was noon when Corinne arrived at Lord Dio's mansion.

It is an Arabic-style building surrounded by towering courtyard walls, pointed round towers and closed iron gates.At first glance, it looks like an ordinary mansion in Cairo, but if someone approached it, he would feel the piercing pressure from the soles of his feet to the marrow of his bones.

Petsha stopped on the gatepost, staring at Corinne without blinking.The air around it kept making crisp cracking sounds, and the tiny icicles continued to condense into shape and then shattered into pieces.

"God Horus" Petesia is one of the substitute messengers created by Granny Enya with arrows.It was originally an ordinary peregrine falcon that only lived on the banks of the Nile, but now it is the loyal gatekeeper of Lord Dio's mansion.

Animals are more intuitive than humans.Petxia's performance seemed to have discovered the seeds of wavering and rebellion in Kelin's heart.However, this arrogant bird probably just wanted to show her off.

Under its cold gaze, which was as cold as its stand-in ability, Kelin pushed open the iron gate and walked in, only to find that the gate of the mansion had also been opened.

There was a young man standing in the door.

"Long time no see, Corinne. Not only did your mission to assassinate Joseph Joestar in Japan fail completely, but you were also captured by the other party. When you come back this time, did the other party deliberately let you back?" the young man asked, He was wearing a purple jacket with a white coat, and a head of green hair that was meticulously smeared with hairspray. "Or did you escape by yourself?"

"Leave me alone, Darby." Colleen walked past him. "I know which room you keep your collection and game cartridges."

"Are you threatening me?"

"As long as you keep your mouth shut, it's only a threat."

"Hmph. You unreasonable female orangutan."

"Then you're the slob who let flies into Lord Dio's bedroom."

"Don't hold on to that fly, Master Dio didn't blame me, why are you so talkative, mother orangutan?" Darby's pretentious expression couldn't hold back.

Terrence T. Darby is a stand-in messenger named "God Atum".When Granny Enya was still in Cairo, he stayed in the mansion to take care of chores and guard.

Colleen knew that Darby also had an older brother who was the stand-in messenger of "God Osiris", but his brother almost never appeared in the house, and Colleen had never seen him.The two of them are natural substitute messengers, and they were found by Master Dio when he was traveling outside in his early years.She doesn't know much about them.

Strictly speaking, most of the people she knows about the substitute ability are the new substitute envoys that Granny Enya created for Lord Dio within this year using the "arrow".Natural stand-in messengers like the Darby brothers, if they don't say it themselves, she can only guess by herself.

"Darby, I've wanted to say it a long time ago. You really like to strike up a conversation with people by asking questions." After walking a few steps, Colleen turned her head and smiled at him. "I must remind you, this is too rude."

"You—" Darby's expression paused.

"Since you have been officially promoted to Lord Dio's butler, you must remember to keep a smile and demeanor at all times." Colleen continued, "I will prepare a cup of coffee for me later, and it will be hot. It would be better if there is cake or pudding. Chocolatey."

"Enough! Get out of here! I'm a housekeeper, not a servant!"

Darby's expression finally collapsed, and he yelled at Colleen.

Taking his roar as background music, Colleen stepped onto the second floor.

Four days ago.

After realizing that she was poor, Kelin sneaked back to where Dan was. After making sure that Jotaro and others were not there, she ran to Dan, who was swollen into a pig's head, and searched out his wallet.

Fortunately, Jotaro didn't take Dan's wallet away.

Next, Kelin followed Joseph and the others far behind, but they were always one step behind.

She followed them through the desert, over the hills, and finally came to an island in the middle of the Red Sea.She ran into "Judgment" Cameo who had burns all over her body and desperately planned to leave the island on a yacht.She learned from Cameo that Abdel had returned to the team, and the scorched marks at the battle site and Cameo's injuries also confirmed this.

According to Cameo, when he was waiting for Joseph and the others on the island, he did not see any traces of large ships around the island, and the boat that Joseph and the others were in was also thrown down.The only explanation is that they left from the bottom of the sea.It seemed like something Joseph would do.

Colleen, who lost track of them, turned around and went to the nearest airport to fly back to Cairo.

The atmosphere on the second floor of the mansion was even colder than on the first floor.

The study where Dio was in was close at hand, but Ke Lin stopped.

It wasn't because of the force emanating from the door, nor was it because of timidity.

She couldn't describe how she felt at this moment.

Every time she met Dio, she seemed to see him through a filter.No matter what Dio did or said, she felt that he was absolutely right, that he was perfect.She even felt that Master Dio was a unique and important figure in the world.

However, when memory fragments return and logical holes emerge, this filter begins to diminish and shatter.

This meeting, what kind of Dio will her eyes see?

"Why don't you come in, Corinne."

Questions came from the dimly lit study room.

The deep and mellow male voice is like a poisonous snake crawling out of the darkness and clinging to his neck.

"Master Dio, I..." Kelin tried to get back to her previous state without showing any signs of abnormality, "...not only did I fail to complete the mission, but I was also captured by Joestar and the others. I am really ashamed to see this failure. you."

"It's okay. Corinne, are you ready for punishment?"

"……Yes."

"Come in."

Kelin took a deep breath and stepped into the study door.

Dio faced her sideways, sitting on the chair in the center of the study, his blonde hair was still very eye-catching in the dim light.He didn't look up, still looking at the books on his lap.

"Kill yourself, Corinne." Dio said lightly.

"Yes. Master Dio."

She cannot disobey this man.

Colleen's brain told her so.

She didn't think about the excessiveness of this order for the first time, but considered the current conditions for suicide, called out a substitute, tied her five fingers into a hand, and stabbed hard at the neck.

In the next second, no blood spattered out, and the wound on the neck that should have appeared did not appear.

The hand knife obviously pierced the skin and sank about half a centimeter into the skin, but was pulled out inexplicably and turned around, causing it to be thrown into the air.

Dio disappeared from his seat and appeared in front of her at some unknown time.

"Your breathing is messed up, Corinne. I'll give you another chance, 'God Knum' and 'God Toto' have set off, but the two of them can't show their true strength as stand-ins. I believe in you, Corinne, you Know what to do. Go kill Joseph Joestar and his grandson for me."

Dio's cold and pale hands covered her forehead, and his deep voice carried a hint of charm, like a lingering cold wind in the darkness.

The tension in the brain dissipated with the wind.She couldn't refuse the order this man said.

"Yes, Lord Dio. I will do my best."

During the few days when Kelin left Joseph and the others, the "Sun", "Reaper", "Judgment", "Female Pope" and other substitute envoys fell one after another.

"God Geb" Endor has set off to the desert to stop Joseph and his party, but there is no news yet.

After learning the information from Darby, Colleen set out to chase the two brothers "God Knum" Oingo and "God Toto" Poingo.The two brothers had already gone to Aswan, where they were waiting for Joseph and his party in advance.

When Kelin arrived in Aswan and found the two brothers, Oyingo rejected her offer of cooperation.

"God Knum" is a stand-in that can make the stand-in messenger completely look like someone else, and "God Toto" is a stand-in that can use comics to prophesy.What she was looking for was "God Toto".

Kelin was not in a hurry, she followed them, no matter how hard they chased her away.

Until Oyingo planned to plant a bomb in Joseph and his car according to the prophecy of "God Toto", but ended up seriously injuring himself who became Jotaro, Kelin finally got his chance.

"Brother! Brother Oyin! Are you okay?"

The timid and introverted Boyingo panicked, crying and running towards the fallen Oyingo.

Kelin first kindly pointed out the way for a man who was robbed by Oyingo in the street and wanted to seek revenge from him, and then when the two brothers were trembling with fear from several big men seeking revenge, she made her debut on the stage, and she was very kind to Seth. The trembling Boingo smiled kindly.

"Brother Boing, cooperate with me or go to the hospital with your brother, which one do you choose?"

Kelin pointed to the passers-by who had rolled up their sleeves and raised their fists.

"Brother, brother, I, I..." Boyingo's teeth chattered, and he looked at Oyingo for help.

"Brother, brother... Brother, you are free..." Brother Oying squeezed out these words, his head tilted and he completely fainted.

"I, I cooperate!"

After successfully "persuading" Boingo to cooperate, Colleen took him to the hospital where Joseph and the others were staying.

Kelin bought a car at a high price on the side of the road, picked up Boingo and put it in the passenger seat.

"The things predicted in the comics did come true, but the results didn't happen as you thought. Does this mean that your predictions were wrong?" she asked Boingo.

"Too, Toto God's prophecy is absolute and correct."

Boingo bent his knees and curled up on the seat. Although he looked scared and nervous, he was very firm about his abilities.

"Your God Toto predicted that they would drink the black tea, but it turned out that they let the poisonous black tea enter their mouths and didn't drink it. According to the prophecy, Jotaro would be injured by the bomb...but it was your brother who became Jotaro who was killed. Injury. Although this proves that the prophecy in the book will happen, there is a possibility of misinterpretation by the readers. Or is there a possibility of different differences in the prophecy itself?"

"I, I don't know." Boingo shook his head.

Colleen was helpless.Boyingo is a child in his early ten years old. Although he has an older brother, his older brother's brain is not bright.They didn't fully develop Toto God's ability, what a waste of this special ability.

"What's the next prophecy?" Colleen asked.

Boingo hesitated for a moment, and handed God Toto to her.

Kelin stopped the car on the side of the road and looked at God Toto, a picture slowly emerged on the blank page.

【My brother was injured and was admitted to the hospital, but Boingo still has to continue fighting.Boingo will avenge his brother!elder brother!Don't worry, leave it to Boingo!Boyingo, come on! 】

【A witch caught Boingo, and Boingo was forced to agree to the witch's request.Although the witch is a very beautiful woman, her smile is terrible and she is very cruel to Boingo.Poor Poingo was very scared, what would the witch do to Poingo?Boingo!Do not be afraid!Come on! 】

"...You little brat, I haven't killed you yet, have I?"

Kelin couldn't help but pat the back of his head.

Boingo buried his head lower.

[Jotaro and the others were worried about the situation of Kakyoin and Abdel, so they came to the hospital together.Boingo and the witch also rushed to the hospital.The witch brought a poisoned hot dog and dropped it at the hospital gate.The puppy that traveled with Jotaro and the others ate the hot dog. Three minutes later, the hospital elevator fell from the fourth floor, and Jotaro and the others were seriously injured inside!Boingo, great success! 】

The seemingly unrelated prophecies in the comics may be closely related in places they don't know?Although she still can't figure out what kind of connection a puppy has with the elevator accident.

Instead of buying a hot dog, Kelin went to the hospital service desk and pretended to be a family member of a patient complaining about an abnormality in the elevator, forcing the hospital to stop the elevator that was about to fail for maintenance.

As she wrangled with hospital staff at the information desk, a small black-and-white Boston terrier ran past her.

Three minutes later, Jotaro and the others took another elevator downstairs. When they reached the first floor, the elevator next door fell to the ground with a bang.However, no one was injured because passengers were stopped.

Kelin grabbed Boingo and hid behind the pillar, watching all this.

"You, why didn't you follow the prophecy?" Boingo was confused and unhappy.

"I want to see how the prophecy will happen if you do the opposite." Colleen said casually, "Okay, let's look at the next prophecy."

【Jotaro and the others left the hospital and started to head for the next destination.Boingo and the witch drove ahead of them. Boingo saw an iron nail on the ground, but they managed to avoid it.Boingo threw a few more nails beside the nails. 5 minutes later, Jotaro's car collided with a tourist bus, boom!Boingo, great success! 】

"..." Kelin asked Boyingo, "Is it possible for the prophecy to be completely eliminated?"

"Tear it off and it's over, the prophecy won't happen...ah!"

Colleen tore down the new prophecy that had just appeared.

"If you don't use it to kill people, your ability is quite useful. You are not suitable to be a killer. Think about it with your brother and change your career in the future."

Colleen rubbed the torn page and threw it in the trash can, where the page disappeared.

Boyingo got angry and turned his head away from Kelin.After getting in the car, he buried his head in his knees and didn't say a word to her.

After two more failed predictions, Kelin finally got a reliable opportunity.

It is written in the prophecy that Jotaro and the others will stop at a small roadside shop to rest on their way to their next destination, and drink the bottled Coke there.

Kelin prepared her things nearby, took a shortcut and drove all the way to the roadside shop ahead of schedule.Excusing that I have obsessive-compulsive disorder to choose a good number code, I touched all the Coke in the refrigerator, but actually injected a small light ball into each Coke bottle with a stand-in.

When choosing which medicine to use, Kelin hesitated.She chose sleeping pills by mistake, and used the ability of Skittles to exchange the drugs into the airtight Coke bottle.

"Here, there is still poison, poison left." Boingo dug out a few packets from his pocket.

"keep it."

"Oh."

Kelin drove the car to hide behind a tall rock, where she observed the scene in the small shop from a distance.

Sure enough, Joseph, Jotaro and the others stopped here to rest, and bought iced cola from the store.

Kakyoin was left in Aswan's hospital because of an eye injury.Now there are four of them, Joseph, Jotaro, Polnareff and Abdel.

Well, have to add a dog.

Four people and a dog gathered around the table, opened the Coke and gulped it down.Suddenly the little dog barked non-stop.

"What are you arguing about? Izzy? Is there an enemy nearby?" Polnareff asked.

"No, I feel it calling us." Abdel.

"Is there something wrong with this Coke?" Joseph asked.

"Impossible, Mr. Joestar. We opened the package of this Coke ourselves." Polnareff.

"That's right." Joseph said, "Izzy, don't make trouble, here's your chewing gum."

After they finished drinking the Coke in the bottle, several people fell down one after another.

"Successful. My God Toto successfully defeated them. Hee, hee hee, Guji Guji Guji—ouch."

"Laugh out loud if you want to, don't laugh so badly."

Kelin patted the back of Boingo's head again.

In addition to the two prophecies that Kelin gave up, there were also two failed prophecies.Just like when Oyingo tried to use black tea to poison Jotaro and the others, but was interrupted by various unexpected factors, Kelin suspected that the luck of the parties would also affect the occurrence of Toto's prophecy.

However, if it doesn't work once, it will be the next time.

Unless fate always keeps its eyes open on their side, there will always be a slumber.

Like now.

After confirming that they were not moving, Kelin walked there.

"For example, if poison is used, now, now they have been successfully eliminated." Boingo muttered after her.

Colleen didn't refute, which was the truth.But she didn't know why she chose that way.

Her mind was in a strange state, as if there was a wall separating her thoughts, between wanting to accomplish a goal wholeheartedly and resisting it on the other.

Iggy, the only puppy who was still awake, put on a defensive posture towards her, and let out a low growl from his throat.

"Although I don't know why you are here, our business has nothing to do with you. If you understand what I mean, go by yourself."

Kelin just said that, and didn't expect the other party to really understand, but Izzy's performance made her doubt that the puppy could really understand her words.

Izzy really stopped growling. He glanced at her, then looked back at the four people lying on the table, as if hesitating.But Izzy quickly made up his mind and walked away.

Kelin looked at the fallen people again, and stopped at a distance of about three meters.

"Jotaro," she said, "get up, I know you're still awake."

Jotaro didn't move.

"You poured undrinked Coke on your trouser legs and shoes, pretending to have fainted." Colin said, "Then when I approached, you surprised me? But the fabric colors of your two trouser legs are different, I've found out."

"..."

Two seconds later, Jotaro straightened up and stared up at her.

"Good observation skills." Jotaro said.

"Not only that. You didn't stand up because you drank a little, right?" Kelin said.

"..."

"You're thinking right now 'That's enough, what a troublesome woman', aren't you?"

"That's really enough." Jotaro pulled off his hat, clicked his tongue, and said, "If you finish talking, let me ask you. Have you met Dio in the past few days?"

"Yes."

Boingo hid behind Kelin with Toto in his arms, poked out half of his face to peek at Jotaro, and shrank back in fear when he saw his imposing expression.

"If you used poison, we'd already lost." Jotaro said, "You're hesitating, you've remembered who you are before you ran away from us. But Dio's granulation still controls you, you can't defy him Order."

"..."

It was Colleen's turn to be silent.

"The old man always wants to find a risk-free way to remove the granulation. Because of this, it will be delayed longer and longer, giving you a chance to escape."

Jotaro propped himself up on the table and stood up, his movements were indeed a little unsteady.But when he straightened his body, he declared in an unquestionable tone.

"But it's not too late now. We've run out of time, I'm going to pluck Dio's granulation from your body."

"Didn't you say you couldn't pull it out?" Kelin was stunned for a moment and asked him.

"Before I thought that your granulation could not be pulled out because their tentacles were entangled. To deal with one of them would definitely affect the others. But as long as those tentacles are temporarily transferred to other places, they can be dealt with separately like Kakyoin and the others. .”

"Transfer the tentacles? You mean to transfer the tentacles to other people...to you?" Kelin remembered Jotaro's appearance when he removed the granulation for Kakyoin, and understood the principle of what he said. She immediately objected, "Don't Just kidding, Joseph won't let you do this."

"He happens to have no way to object right now," Jotaro said.

Kelin pursed her lips tightly. She took out the gun that she was carrying in case of accidents from her back waist, opened the safety catch, and pointed at Jotaro.

"I know your Platinum Star can catch bullets, but then you won't have time to catch me."

As she spoke, she pulled the trigger continuously, and six bullets flew towards Jotaro at the same time.Platinum Star quickly appeared in front of Jotaro, blocking the bullet with his arm.

Kelin took advantage of the opportunity to hold Poingo by the collar and was about to run away, but when she turned her head, she saw the small Boston terrier named Izzy blocking her way of leaving.

Izzy bared his teeth at them, and in the next second a whirlwind of yellow sand suddenly appeared in the air, and the yellow sand quickly condensed into a huge dog-shaped stand-in, who slapped Ke Lin in the face with his paw.

Colleen blocked the claw with her double, but the grit spread out and entangled her double's hand.

"Well done, Izzy."

In just a short while, Jotaro has already rushed forward.

Once within range, Platinum Star twisted Ke Lin's substitute's arm, locking her movements.

Jotaro also clasped Kelin's chin with his left hand, and brushed her bangs away with the other hand.

Colleen struggled a few times.

"Tsk, don't move."

Jotaro restrained her even more forcefully, he tentatively touched the granulation on Kelin's forehead with his hands cautiously.

However, sudden changes occurred.The granulation touched by him exploded suddenly as if stimulated, the tentacles stretched wildly, raised high, half of them turned towards Kelin, and half of them flew towards Jotaro.

Colleen realized at that moment what had happened.

Dio must have made protective measures on her body. When there is an external force trying to remove the granulation, the granulation will automatically grow and destroy her brain.

Her first reaction was to kick Jotaro away forcefully, and pull out the several granulation tentacles that had already invaded Jotaro's hands.

With the forehead as the center, a burst of severe pain seemed to tear the entire head apart.

The granulation was growing in her brain, her eyes were blood red, and the world became the same color.

Through the blood-red curtain, she saw that Jotaro was so nervous that he even panicked.Let her feel curious for a moment, how miserable she looks, that's why he also showed such an expression.

The severe pain tore away the last gap between her memory and reason, swept her life for more than twenty years, and was about to head towards the darkness where life finally returned.

But she hasn't been able to go there yet.

This severe pain also reminded her of the rhythm of breathing.

With her breathing, golden ripple energy appeared on her hands, dancing with a melody like sunlight.

When she put her hands over her head, all the pain and chaos disappeared in the golden light.
