[JOJO] Corinne's Wonderful Journey

"I know the building. That's right, it's definitely the building."

The man who spoke was about thirty years old, with two black goatees on his lips, dark lines like birthmarks on his cheeks, and sophisticated and shrewd eyes.

The man smoothed the playing cards on the table, and deftly picked them up with his fingers, and the playing cards were turned over smoothly.He picked up a joke card from inside, and smiled confidently at Joseph and the others.

"Really? You know? Tell me!"

Joseph immediately walked to the tea table where the man was, knocked his hands on the table and shouted happily.

The others also followed Joseph and surrounded the man. After a while, only Colin was left standing by the counter.

Kelin stared at the man, feeling a little familiar.But she was also sure that she had never seen such a person before.

As she looked at the person repeatedly, Jotaro noticed her abnormality, and he returned to her side.

"what have you found?"

"I haven't seen this person before, but I always feel that he looks familiar."

But she has met too many people in these years, and she can't remember them all at once.

"He doesn't look like a native Egyptian." Colin said to herself.

At this time, the man rejected Joseph's proposal to give 30 pounds as a reward, claiming that he was gambling for fun, and asked Joseph and the others to gamble with him.He will only reveal the location of the building if he wins the bet.The content of the game is to bet that the cat not far away will pick up the fish on the left or on the right.

"Okay, I bet you!"

Polnareff over there was excited by him and impulsively agreed to bet with him.

"Polnareff, don't be impulsive." Kakyoin tried to dissuade him.

Although Joseph also persuaded him, he only regarded the man as a roadside gambler, and he didn't think there was anything wrong, so he didn't insist.

"I don't want money, how about betting on your soul." The man said.

This weird request made Polnareff stunned for a moment, but he agreed without thinking too much.

"soul?"

However, because of these two words, Kelin immediately cleared up her vague thoughts.

She immediately looked at Jotaro, who had told them all the information she had heard from the god Anubis at that time.

It happened that Jotaro was also looking at her, which meant that he also noticed this key word.

"You have to stop them first," she said.

Kelin reached out to touch the counter. The cups they drank iced tea just now hadn't been put away by the store owner.

But Jotaro's movements were faster than hers, Platinum Star had already grabbed the ice cubes in his hands, pointed at the fish cubes on the ground with his fingers, and bounced them over.

Before the cat gets close to the fish, the ice blows the fish far away, ending the game.

Kelin was a step behind him, looked at the ice cube in the double's hand, and flicked it towards the back of Polnareff's head without wasting any time.

"Who?!"

The silver chariot quickly cut the flying ice cube in half, one of which fell on the table, and Gulu rolled to the man's eyes.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Polnareff turned his head and saw Colleen holding a cup of ice cubes in his hand, and his first reaction was that she was playing tricks.

Colleen spread her hands towards him, took an ice cube from the glass and threw it into her mouth.Crunchy and crisp, cool in the heart.

The weather here in Cairo is sweltering, and the back of her neck is sweaty and sticky when she wears a short leather jacket. I really don't know how Jotaro can wear the black pure wool school uniform jacket without changing his face.

However, one thought was opened up, and the scattered clues were connected in series.

The more Kelin looked at the man's face, the more she felt that she had seen it somewhere, and suddenly she remembered it in a flash of inspiration.

She moved closer to Jotaro, and told him at a faster pace that only the two of them could hear: "I remembered, he looks a bit like the kid for Dio's housekeeper."

"Are you sure?" Jotaro also lowered his voice.

"That kid has an older brother who is often talked about, who is also a stand-in messenger. I think it is doubtful." Kelin whispered.

"Well, go meet him." Jotaro quickly accepted her words.

Jotaro immediately believed in himself, which made Kelin feel better for no reason.

She couldn't help smiling at Jotaro: "It doesn't feel bad to be trusted by you."

After speaking, Corin threw the cup back to the counter, shaking her hands and walking towards where Joseph and that man were with Jotaro.

"Why, are you unwilling to gamble? It's a pity, if you are afraid, then leave here."

As soon as he got closer, he heard the man talking to Polnareff.

"Dianming."

Kelin walked to Kakyoin and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Listen to me. As long as you keep breaking your hands and feet, I can heal even comminuted fractures."

"Miss Kelin, what do you mean..."

"Well, right here, attack that person with your emerald splash."

Colleen pointed to the man across the tea table.

Kakyoin was not too surprised.When Darby uttered the word "soul", he felt something was wrong just like Colleen.The Emperor's Green floated beside him, watching the man with them.

Kelin observed the changes in the man's expression.To her surprise, the man's expression didn't move, even his eyes didn't waver.

"Hey, Colleen, what are you going to do?" Joseph asked her in surprise.

"When did I do something baseless? Joseph." Kelin's tone was extremely confident, "I suspect that this man is Dio's subordinate."

"what?!"

Joseph, Abdel, and Polnareff all looked at the man in shock.

"I don't know what you're talking about, and who is Dio?" the man asked, with just the right amount of doubt and displeasure on his face, "I said, if you don't plan to bet with me, then stay out of here."

"Colin, is there any evidence for what you said?" Joseph asked.

"The proof is myself. I met most of Dio's men during the time I was controlled by Dio's granulation."

Ke Lin deliberately exaggerated, but in fact, she has never seen a few of the Nine Glory Gods alone, and she didn't even know that they had such an organization name.

"He looks like one of them." Colleen held out a hand and pointed at the man.

"Looks alike?" Polnareff interjected, "You say they look alike?"

"That's right, they look alike."

"Huh? Isn't your reason too unreliable?"

"Whether it's reliable or not, just let Joseph ask him with the hermit's purple."

"Wait, are you planning to use force to coerce me to reveal the whereabouts of the building? Although I am only a gambler, I still have the dignity of a gambler. Apart from knocking me down at the gambling table, I cannot be made to speak." The man said, still smiling calmly, "And I and the boss here are old acquaintances, if you do something, he will immediately call the police for me."

"Force? No, we don't use that kind of low-level means. We don't need you to open your mouth to get secrets from your brain." Colleen said, "Joseph, I heard from Enya, except her , there are other subordinates who also understand Dio's ability. Even if there is only a one-ten-thousandth possibility, we should not let it go."

Hearing this, the man couldn't help but look up at Ke Lin.

"We should do extraordinary things in extraordinary times." Kelin emphasized.

Whether it was because of her words that the other party showed flaws, or Joseph was persuaded by her words, she had achieved her goal.

Joseph looked thoughtfully, and he and Jotaro exchanged a look.

"You're right, Colleen." He said after a while, "We should do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. If you make a mistake, then apologize at that time."

Cracks finally appeared in the man's calmness.

"You seem to be very hot? Does the Cairo sun make you sweat?" Jotaro said lightly.

He stood closest to the man, and he could clearly see the cold sweat oozing from the man's forehead and the back of his neck.

The man didn't answer, more cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

"What scares you? Is it because you know we won't let you go, or—" Jotaro pauses, "because you know, we do have a way of getting Dio's secret from you?"

The man's five fingers tightened violently, crumpling the flat cards, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

"It seems to be the latter one." Jotaro said.The Platinum Star floated beside him.

The man seemed to be at his wit's end, his fingers tensed several times, and finally he threw the poker on the table, spread his hands, and gave up resistance.

"So are you sure this guy is Dio's subordinate?" Polnareff hadn't caught up with the rhythm.

"Polnareff, if Jotaro and Miss Corinne hadn't discovered it in time just now, you might have fallen into the trap he set up." Abdel said, and he also found the thrill just now after thinking about it.

"That's right, please reflect on yourself." Kakyoin also said, and then he sighed softly, "However, I always feel that our team's behavior style is getting worse and worse."

When they escorted the man away, the owner of the tea shop and several customers around wanted to stop them.

Jotaro and Polnareff stood in front of them, and the advantage of their height and muscularity and fierce eyes scared them back.

Kelin took a collection book found among the men's belongings, and walked beside the team, using their shadows to shield herself from the sun.

"The signature is Daniel J. Darby... It really is Terrence D. Darby's brother. What are these chips? There are faces on each of them, and the time, place and name are also marked?" Colleen opened the collection Looking at the book, seeing that it was full of embossed chips with clear eyebrows and eyes, he couldn't help muttering, "This is to collect the appearances of people who have been defeated by me as chips? This interest is really disgusting."

She flipped through a few pages, then threw the collection book, which was covered with face chips, to the side, and it just fell into Polnareff's hands.

Polnareff opened it curiously, looked at it, and immediately threw it to Kakyoin with a look of disgust.

Kakyoin opened it for a few glances, then quickly closed it.

Only Darby's hands were tied, and because he accepted that he didn't struggle, they didn't use force on him.

It's just that he is completely different from when he first appeared in front of their eyes.

If Darby just appeared calm and shrewd, like a gambler who has experienced many battles, then now he seems to be afraid of something, with shortness of breath and cold sweat.

"Hey, what's the matter with him?" Polnareff looked at Darby and asked, "We didn't deal with him, how did he become like this?"

"He's afraid of Dio." Joseph replied, "It seems that he does know the secret of Dio's double, so he's afraid of Dio coming to kill him."

"We must hurry up. Dio knows that Darby was caught by us, and he will definitely send someone to kill him immediately." Colleen helped to add.

"Well. Let's find the nearest hotel, so as not to have long nights and dreams." Joseph nodded.

"...It is impossible for you to know the secret of Dio's substitute from me."

Darby, who had been silent since his capture, suddenly spoke.

His voice trembled with deep fear.

"When the news spreads that I'm in your hands, he will definitely come. I can't escape, and neither can you."

"What do you mean?" Polnareff forcefully picked up Darby's collar, "You mean Dio will come by himself?!"

Darby didn't reply, but a weird smile twisted on his face.

"That's impossible, Polnareff. Dio is a vampire, and he won't go out during the daytime." Colleen said, "He should be hiding in his hiding place, staying awake, waiting for his subordinates to take our Bring him the news."

She added: "Gabu God Ndor only told Jotaro that Dio has a substitute messenger group called 'Nine Glory Gods'. But Dio has an 'arrow' in his hand, and he can create substitute messengers as he likes. He must be around. There are other substitute messengers. Moreover, in the past two years, he has often left Cairo, and the time span of each departure ranges from a week to a few months. It is likely that he is secretly recruiting his subordinates and creating more substitute messengers. Build his underground criminal organization."

As Kelin spoke, she felt that the atmosphere was subtly quiet.

It was still Polnareff who was blunt and immediately complained: "Do you know a lot about Dio?"

Colleen blushed, coughed, and said solemnly: "It's like when you like a singer, you will buy magazines full of his experiences and gossip, you will snap up the first batch of albums released, and you will buy the first row of concerts." In order to get close to him, the seat will find a way to understand all his information, is it not difficult to understand?"

Polnareff: "No, I don't understand."

Kakyoin: "I reserve my opinion."

Abdel: "Well..."

Joseph: "Really."

Jotaro: "That's enough."

Colleen: "Forget it, let's talk about the next question..."

Joseph decided to find a nearby hotel and borrow the TV set in the hotel, so they didn't go back to their original hotel.

The nearest hotel is less than 800 meters away from them.

In order to be able to inquire along the way, they did not drive over this time, so they took Darby on foot.

Halfway through, Izzy suddenly barked loudly in a certain direction with nervous tension.

Darby also stopped in his tracks, staring straight in that direction, his pupils tightened, as if seeing the scythe of death waving above his head.

Following Darby's gaze, Kelin saw a group of moving pedestrians and tree shadows.Behind them, a man with purple long hair passed by in a flash, his cold and stern demeanor was incompatible with the surroundings.

Even though it was just a brief glance, Kelin felt the cold murderous look in his eyes.

"Who is that?" Colleen asked Darby immediately.

"You are there, come to kill me right? Vanilla? Ace...I won't say, I didn't mean to know Dio's secret...I don't want to know Dio's secret, I don't want to know at all...Don't kill me ...Let's play a game, mahjong is very fun..."

Darby turned a deaf ear to her words, he began to speak nonsense, and his face covered with cold sweat quickly became old.

"Everyone! Stay away from him!"

His reaction made Kelin feel bad, so she couldn't help reminding her loudly.

She couldn't explain why, but Darby's frightened and distorted expression, as well as his hysterical words, made her hair stand on end inexplicably.

She and Joseph stood closer to Da, and the others were a little farther away.

After she yelled this sentence, she took Joseph's arm and dragged him forward, away from Darby together.

It happened so quickly that they didn't have time to adjust their posture, but before they fell, both of them were supported.

Jotaro, who was walking in front of them, called out Platinum Star just in time.Platinum Star supported Joseph, and Jotaro himself supported Kelin.

Two seconds later, something strange happened.

Darby's mouth was raving with confused logic, and then, without a sound, his head and chest disappeared.

The cut surface on Darby's body was very smooth, as if a huge curved blade had split him.

However, the part that was chopped off disappeared from the world without leaving even a trace.

There was no sound, nothing appeared, and there were no shadows on the ground.The part that disappears is completely gone, and there is nothing left.

A second later, half of Darby's body crashed to the ground, blood spewed out from his exposed chest, the splash was like bloody fireworks, announcing his death.

As Darby fell, the collection book that Kakyoin was holding in his hand suddenly shook violently and fell out of his hand.

There was no wind on the page, and countless light-colored light beams flew out of it, mixed with the wailing sounds of men, women and children, rising into the sky and disappearing into the clear sky.
