[JOJO] Corinne's Wonderful Journey

"She is the daughter adopted by my remarried mother in her later years, so she is also my sister."

"Full name is Corinne Craven."

"She went to Egypt more than a year ago for work reasons. Now that I think about it, she hasn't contacted her family since then, but the phone sounds fine, so I didn't think much about it. I thought it was because of her work. Too busy. Even got mad at her for not answering my calls... Damn! If only I had gone to her sooner then!"

"Abudel, did you see her forehead? She was controlled by Dio's granulation just like that kid. Dio did more to her than that kid! And I... not only failed to help her before, even now she In front of me, I can't save her!"

When Colleen woke up, the first sound she heard was Joseph Joestar's loud voice.

The second thing she realized was that she was tied up.Her hands and feet were bound, probably with soft cloth or something like that, although they were tightly tied, they didn't feel like they were rubbing against her skin.

The third thing she realized was that there were two more people in the reception room.She was lying on the ground in the back of the reception room, and those people were in front of her, surrounding a student who was lying on the ground.

She opened her eyes suddenly.

"Dianming?"

Lying on the ground was none other than her young colleague, Noriaki Kakyoin, who traveled across the ocean to Japan with her.

Kakyoin remained motionless, his head held down by another boy in a black school uniform and a black school cap.Behind the boy in the black hat emerged a clear and sturdy humanoid stand-in, and that stand-in's hand was resting on the forehead of Noriaki Kakyoin.

"What are you going to do to him?"

Huajingyuan always disliked her along the way, but she didn't ignore her every time she fell ill.Kelin had some kind of companionship towards him, and when she saw this scene, she became worried for him.

"If you hurt him, I will never forgive you."

"Are you awake, Colleen?" Joseph looked at her worriedly.

The black hat boy was not affected at all, he didn't even lift his eyelids.

His stand-in is just like himself, with precise and stable movements.She watched as he plucked a wriggling, tentacled ball of meat from Kakyoin's head and threw it into the air.Joseph immediately yelled "Ripple Sprint", and his palm seemed to be shrouded in twilight, and after hitting the meat ball, it turned into a pinch of black ash.

ripple?

Colleen had a feeling.That thing seemed to be something she was very familiar with, deep down.But she couldn't remember.

No, don't think about it.Now she should make a choice, whether to find a way to escape, or just kill Joseph and Holly, even if it will end her life here.

When Kelin was thinking this way, she heard Kakyoin asking why the boy in black hat wanted to save him, and she got an answer of "I don't know why".

She realizes that they didn't hurt Kakyoin.

why?

As if to answer her question, Noriaki Kakyoin came to her side.He squatted in front of her and said to her, "I'm sorry, Miss Kelin." Then he reached out and lifted her bangs.

"Sure enough...you too..." Huajingyuan paused, gritted his teeth in a low voice, and there was a hint of sob in his voice. He turned to look at the boy in the black hat by the door, "Sorry, please listen to my unfeeling request, empty note Jotaro. Can you help her like you helped me?"

As she had guessed, the boy in the black hat was Kakyoin's assassination target, Joseph Joestar's grandson, Kujo Jotaro.

Kelin frowned, she realized something was wrong with Kakyoin.His attitude towards Kujo Jotaro is too peaceful. He is asking for help from his assassination target?

"Dianming... Noriaki Kakyoin, you betrayed Lord Dio?" She looked at Kakyoin and asked coldly.

"It's not betrayal, Miss Collin, my heart never really swore loyalty to Dio. Dio took advantage of the weakness in my heart to plant his granulation in my brain, making me turn a blind eye to his evil and obey him. And you... the same, right?"

"Shut up. How can you call Master Dio by his first name? Master Dio doesn't need to control me, he just needs to use his incomparable charm to convince me. I'm sorry, Noriaki Kakyoin, I actually quite like him Yours."

Colleen made up her mind, she decided to escape first.Then find a way to kill everyone here, including the traitors.

While she was speaking to divert their attention, the fingers hidden behind her moved slightly, and a hand of the stand-in quietly emerged.Her substitute ability - Skittles can transfer herself to the position of any light group, she only needs to transfer to the light group left before -

But before she succeeded, she felt a sharp pain in her fingers.Then all her fingers no longer obeyed her commands, drooping feebly.Kujo Jotaro's stand-in backed away from her, leaving behind his masterpiece, which made her break out in a cold sweat.

"Jotaro! Don't hurt her too much. She's yours... yours, wait, what do you call her? Auntie? Auntie?" Joseph stopped in the middle of shouting.

"It's so noisy, old man. I didn't crush her bones, I just dislocated her ten knuckles." Jotaro Kujo replied impatiently, "She didn't know what she was planning just now, I think it should be with her It has to do with substitute ability.”

Kujo Jotaro came to Kelin and signaled Kakyoin to stay away.He bent down and lifted Ke Lin's bangs, and under Ke Lin's angry stare, he carefully observed her forehead without changing his expression.After a while, he shook his head.

"The granulation on her forehead can't be treated like Kakyoin." Jotaro said, "There are three granulation on her forehead at the same time, and their tentacles are entangled. Even my double can't just pull out one without affecting the other two. , and can’t pull out three at the same time without injuring her brain.”

"Really...Really?" Joseph's face turned pale all of a sudden.

Kakyoin on the side also changed his face.

"It's a pity." Jotaro said with a tense face, "but I can't save her."

They said they were going to save her?Just kidding, she's fine, her only problem is being tied up by them.Want to save her, but let her go?

Of course they couldn't let her go.Especially the old man Joseph didn't know what medicine he took wrongly, he believed that she was his good sister, and also believed that she was hostile to them because she was controlled by Master Dio, and wanted to find a way to "correct" her back.

Should I just pretend that I've "woke up" and "revert" to the Corinne Kerevin they were talking about, and trick them into letting her go?

When Kelin seriously considered the feasibility, Kakyoin knelt down in front of her again.

"Miss Kelin, although we came to Japan from Egypt together, I always feel like I've only really met you now." Kakyoin said, "But I haven't forgotten that you have been trying to take care of me since we met, although the way It's always somewhat misleading. Just now, you were really worried about my safety. I can say for sure that you in the past were definitely not the kind of person who would willingly work for a villain like Dio."

Colleen opened her mouth and closed it again.Kakyoin's expression was so serious that she lost interest in swearing at him.She chose not to look at him, averting her eyes.

After Kakyoin finished speaking, she was silent for a while, then got up and left.After a while, another person came to her.

Unexpectedly, what Kelin saw was Jotaro Kujo's face.Kujo Jotaro looked extremely cold, if it wasn't for his youthful appearance, Kelin would have suspected that he was actually twice the age of Kakyoin.Suddenly seeing a freezing-cold paralyzed face close at hand, Ren Kelin couldn't help but twitched the corners of her eyes.

"What's the matter, do you think I'm pretty?" She winked at him, "Thank you, I always think so."

"..."

Kujo Jotaro didn't say a word, and his expression didn't change.But Kelin always felt that he might have rolled his eyes in his heart.

"Old man." Jotaro said after a while, "You said that when she was attacking you, she stopped suddenly and she didn't respond as if she was unconscious, so you managed to catch her. Do you know the reason why she lost consciousness at that time? "

"No, I don't have a clue. She was like a lost soul, and we didn't do anything to her." Joseph answered him, "What did you think, Jotaro?"

"Nothing." Kujo Jotaro stood up, raised his hand and pressed the brim of his hat, "...that's enough."

"Well, what's the matter with Kelin, Dad, can you tell me?" Holly was lying on the side of the door, she looked in the direction of Kelin with a worried face, her fingers tightly clasped the edge of the wooden sliding door.

"You don't need to know, it has nothing to do with you. Also, don't approach that woman when no one else is around." Jotaro answered her question first.

"Yes... I see." He Li smiled, "You are all tired, I'll go prepare some snacks for you."

After all, He Li ran away with small steps.

For a long time, Kelin was wrapped in the sweet smell of pudding and black tea.

They actually had a snack in front of her.

Kelin glared at the pudding placed in the middle of the room, and swallowed.No, she doesn't want to eat.She would never ask them for food.Even if pudding is her favorite dessert, she will not give up her dignity as an enemy.

"Kelin, let me feed you, ah~"

Holly came to Kelin with a bowl of creamy yellow pudding, dug a spoonful out of it and held it to Kelin's mouth.

Colleen stared at the spoon for a moment, then took it into her mouth.The soft pudding flows over the tip of the tongue and slides into the esophagus, leaving a rich milk flavor.It was delicious.

She ate two puddings by Holly's hands.

After she was satisfied, she started thinking again.She looked at Joseph and the others, and suddenly laughed.

Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at her.

"Joseph, I have placed my substitute ability on your heart. As long as I have a chance, I can make your heart disappear from your chest with a 'bang'." Colleen raised one corner of her mouth, " Now I want to tell you that besides you, I put the same thing in the heart of another person. Guess who it will be?"

There was an instant silence in the room.

"The one who brought you here... was Holly!" Joseph's voice tightened.

"Congratulations, the answer is correct, but there is no reward." Kelin smiled, and turned her gaze to Jotaro Kujo who was standing up with clenched fists, "Jotaro Kujo, your stand-in power is indeed very powerful, but you can't beat me Take down the Skittle Candy, forcibly moving them will only trigger the ability. Only I can disarm them. Of course, you may think that after the death of the substitute messenger, the double will disappear. However, I heard that there are also In the situation where the stand-in power explodes and then disappears, which one do you think I will be?"

Jotaro froze for a moment.Joseph stopped him, but his eyes were full of complicated sadness when he looked at Colleen.

"Mr. Joestar, Jotaro, if she could activate her ability, she should have threatened us with Miss Holly's life long ago, instead of waiting until now. Is my answer correct? Corinne Keruiwen." Abu who has been silently observing Del spoke up.

"Tsk." Kelin was speechless, but she was just trying to make them feel uncomfortable. "The answer is correct."

Jotaro asked her, "What's your purpose in bringing this up?"

Colleen rolled her eyes: "My purpose is—"

"I won't let you get away easily—"

"—I'm going to order my own lunch."

"--Um?"

Jotaro's words stopped at an awkward syllable.This time Colleen managed to see a slight twitch in his expression.

"You think, I'm an American, and Japanese food is really hard for me to eat. If I starve to death because the food is too bad, it's not good to let the substitute power go berserk, don't you think, Jotaro ~"

"Tch." Jotaro turned his head to ignore her.

"What do you think, Joseph?" Colleen smiled and turned to Joseph.

Joseph didn't smile, he nodded: "Of course, Colleen, what do you want to eat?"

Kelin put away her smile, she felt that this topic was a bit boring.What is Joseph thinking?She will never take the initiative to remove the halo from Holly. If he finally finds that he cannot "restore" her to Corinne in his heart, he needs to make a choice.

"People~life~go from one choice~progress~to another choice~no one knows~after walking past,the soles of your feet~will step on dog shit or gold bars~" Kelin hummed the song she made up now, she thought she made it well , Unfortunately, none of the audience cheered for her.So she yawned, "I'm sleepy. I want to eat Spanish-style seafood pizza and lamb chops with honey sauce for lunch. I hope I can see them when I wake up."

After speaking, she leaned against the wall and really closed her eyes.

Perhaps because she was sure that they would not hurt her, Kelin originally wanted to take a nap for a while, but she actually fell asleep.

Although I didn't sleep well.

She had a dream.There was a younger Joseph Joestar and her as a child in the dream.

"Forgive me, Colleen. I haven't used Ripple properly for more than twenty years." Young Joseph begged her for mercy.

"Brother Joseph, mother said that your ripple talent is one in a thousand, why don't you work hard and give up ripples?" She asked him when she was young.

"Oh, how should I answer this question. Listen, Colleen, the words I hate the most in my life are hard work and hard work."

"You lied to me."

"I did not lie to you."

"Liar."

"No lie."

"Cheated."

"I really didn't lie."

"..."

"..."

Colleen sneered at the bickering siblings.Why can't she remember that she was so naive when she was a child?

It seemed that she hadn't recalled her past so clearly for a long time.

Were she and Joseph Joestar really a good brother and sister?

Colleen felt something was wrong with herself.She actually cared about the relationship between Joseph Joestar and herself.Obviously before coming to Japan, she was dismissive of everyone except Lord Dio.Speaking of which, she began to show signs of Alzheimer's disease... Ah bah, the signs of confusion seem to have started after receiving this mission and leaving Egypt.

What exactly does this mean?
