[JOJO] Corinne's Wonderful Journey

Abdel, who was the first to ask them not to save someone, was also the first to be injured trying to save someone.

Kelin guessed that what Abdel wanted to say to her just now was mostly words like "Leave me alone".

A black figure appeared in the hall less than ten meters away from them.

It was a black stand-in, swallowing its own limbs and body into its own mouth in a strange posture, leaving only the head floating in the air.

Kelin glanced at the stand-in hastily, and made a choice instantly.

"Polnareff, look at him, I'm going to treat Abdel's wound."

"...!!"

Polnareff stopped running towards Abdel, summoned a silver chariot, and raised his sword to block in front of the two.

As if wanting to dispel the heavy fear in the space, Polnareff yelled at the stand-in messenger in the hall: "You bastard! Report your name!"

Abdel's entire left arm to two centimeters from his armpit was cut off, and Corinne's ripples alone could not heal this serious injury.Kelin could only use ripple energy to tighten the muscles and blood vessels at the wound to reduce the amount of bleeding, and then tore off Abdel's robe, tearing the robe into long strips to wrap Abdel's wound tightly.She does everything with doubles except the ripples.Her stand-in "Halo" has a very high speed and accuracy, and it only takes ten seconds to complete all this.

When Kelin was treating Abdel's wound, the black stand-in in the hall opened his mouth.A man's face protruded slowly from the double's black cave-like mouth, and his sinister gaze was directed at Polnareff, as well as Colleen and Abdel behind him.

"Your good luck ends here, and everything you do is a waste of effort. Abdel will soon become a corpse, and you will follow in his footsteps...I will correct your delusion Master Dio's misconception."

The man in the substitute looked at them and said, dismissive of Colleen's attempt to treat Abdel.

His tone is very confident: "My mouth is a dark space tunnel that even I don't know where it leads to. Next, I will one by one...In order, let you be buried in my Vanilla Ace's In a dark space."

"You bastard...what do you say, Abdel will die..."

Polnareff couldn't help turning to look back at Abdel sideways.Although Kelin treated Abdel's wound as quickly as possible, he had already lost a lot of blood when he fell sideways to the ground.Abdel's cheeks were bloodless, his eyes were closed tightly, and he showed no sign of waking up.

"...Stop talking nonsense, you bastard!!"

The silver chariot shot out from Polnareff's side, and the afterimage turned into silver lightning piercing the space, stabbing straight at the enemy in the center of the hall.The opponent didn't seem to expect Polnareff's attack to come so fast. He moved left and right in the air, trying to avoid the extremely fast combo of the silver chariot, and then disappeared from their eyes again.

Colleen picked up Abdel with a double and stood beside Polnareff.

"It felt like a hit, but it wasn't fatal," Polnareff said. "He—"

"We'll talk about this later, we'll leave here right away." Ke Lin said, "He disappeared, which means he's about to launch an attack."

Polnareff nodded. He resisted the urge to ask Colleen about Abdel's situation, and followed her steps to quickly run towards the stairs.

Just one second after they left their place, the pillars where they were originally were suddenly cut off silently.

"—!"

Corinne quickened her pace, followed by Polnareff.

They climbed the stairs and returned to the first floor, only this time they could see the whole picture of the first floor clearly.

In front of you is a spacious and richly decorated living room.The corridor from the gate to the hall was not long, and as soon as they entered the hall, they could see the white light spots cast by the sunlight from outside the door.The surrounding windows were covered with heavy curtains, making the hall dimly lit.There is a side door at the back of the hall, which seems to be a side hall for receiving guests, and the sofa and the shadows of the decorative paintings on the wall can be seen.

Going through the door, there are stairs leading to the second floor.

They didn't stop under their feet for a moment, but the enemy's pursuit also bit them tightly behind them.As soon as they stepped into the hall, a hole was opened in the stairs behind them, indicating that the stand-in messenger named Vanilla Ace had caught up with them.

The door is close in front of them, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation for them.

Abdel's situation is not optimistic. All Kelin did was to stop the bleeding, but he was still not out of danger after excessive blood loss.They have to get him to the SPW medical staff ASAP.

But... Their eagerness may be used by the other party.If the invisible enemy is waiting for them at the door, then they are undoubtedly in a trap in their eagerness to leave.

"Go to the other side." Corinne urged Polnareff to go in the opposite direction from the gate.

"How is Abdel?" Polnareff finally couldn't help asking her.

"He's still alive, but his condition isn't good." Kelin said.

"Hey, then let's send him back quickly. The doctors from the SPW consortium can save him, right? Since he's still alive, they must keep him alive, right!" Polnareff was visibly excited.

"That's right, that's why we have to find a way to defeat the enemy as soon as possible." Kelin said in a tone as calm as possible.

Polnareff looked at her, opened his mouth several times to say something, and swallowed it back.Finally he took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

"That guy doesn't seem to be able to pass through without opening a hole in the wall... When he reappears from the dark space, that's the best chance." He said in a low voice.

Colleen nodded at him.She also noticed that Vanilla Ace's dark space devoured everything he touched, which was the only way they could find him.But in the hall where they were, there was nothing that could shield them.

The bangs that hit her forehead while running gave her a sudden inspiration.

So she ran and shouted to Polnareff: "Polnareff, cut off my hair with the sword of the chariot."

Polnareff was taken aback: "When is it, you are still saying strange things?!"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." Kelin grabbed her hair with her hand and quickly compared the length, "Cut it here."

Puzzled though Polnareff was, he listened to her and shaved her shoulder-length hair with the chariot from where she held it.Kelin held this large handful of hair in her hand, and she grabbed about one-fifth of the amount with her right hand, and injected the ripples from her fingertips into her hair. The originally thin hair stood up like a steel needle, shining brightly. The purpose is golden.

Kelin slammed on the brakes, twisted her waist and turned her feet on the ground, and evenly threw the corrugated hair as hard as steel needles into the space behind them.

Just when the hair was shot about half a meter away, the hair at a certain angle disappeared suddenly.

"Shit!" Kelin couldn't help swearing.

Before she had time to explain to Polnareff, she let the stand-in who was holding Abdel kick hard at Polnareff's chest, and she and the stand-in also flew away to the other side by the reaction force.

Polnareff flew upside down and fell to the door of the side hall they had just seen.

Just as they fell down one after another, a man's scream suddenly sounded in the hall.

Since the double was still holding Abdel in his arms, the flying distance of Kelin was limited.However, she managed to escape the opponent's attack, but it was too late to adjust her posture when she landed suddenly, and she and the stand-in fell heavily to the ground, feeling the burning pain of the whole back being rubbed against the ground, and even the spine seemed to be smashed to pieces. .Abdel in the hands of the stand-in could not help but fall to the ground.

As soon as Kelin came to her senses, she immediately went to see Abdel's situation, but saw Abdel uttered a few indistinct moans, and slowly opened her eyes.He surveyed the environment and quickly understood the situation in front of him.

"...Leave me alone..." He squirmed his lips and said in an inaudible voice.

"I won't agree, and Polnareff will never agree." Corinne replied.

Kelin turned her eyes to the direction where she screamed just now, and to her surprise, Vanilla Ace showed up automatically.He was still floating in the air just like before, only showing a face in the double's mouth, but at this moment he looked very painful.The right half of his cheek seemed to be corroded by strong acid, bloody and festering.

"You—what did you do to me?!" Vanilla Ace scratched the skin of his right cheek with his fingers, making it even more bloody, as if the pain of the scratch was less than one ten-thousandth of the festering pain , "—Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——"

Kelin froze for a moment, she quickly thought about what she had done just now.

She uses her ripple-strengthened hair to find her way, and when her hair is swallowed by Vanilla Ace's dark space, she detects his presence in time and escapes.

devour.hair.ripple.

Vanilla Ace's injury was caused by Ripple.When he devours the hair with the space in the mouth of the double, there should be a very slight buffer time, so that these hairs have a chance to touch Vanilla Ace himself who is also in the mouth of the double.But it is impossible for a small amount of ripples on the hair to cause such a large area of ​​damage to an ordinary person. This Vanilla Ace is no longer human.

Colleen looked at Polnareff again, noting that he was safe for the time being, but also noticed the small living room behind him.An idea took shape in her mind.

She quickly used her double to hug Abdel again, threw a handful of hair in the direction of Vanilla Ace, and then ran towards Polnareff and the small living room behind him.

"Abdel, can you still use a substitute?" she asked while running.

Abdel was taken aback for a moment, and he quickly said firmly and softly: "...I can."

"Well, please. What you have to do later, only your magician's red can do it."

While speaking, Colleen was already approaching Polnareff's position.She kept running into the living room and shouted to Polnareff: "Come into this room! Close the door!"

Polnareff got up and followed her into the small living room. He closed the door hard as she said, and pushed a cabinet against the door.

Kelin looked at Abdel, and before she could speak, Abdel turned red as a magician.

"Abdel!"

Polnareff noticed Abdel's sobriety, and made no secret of his joy and surprise.Even in the dim light, you can still see the crystal tears in his eyes.

Abdel smiled weakly at him.

"Abdel, set this room on fire." Kelin said.

To instantly ignite everything that can burn here, only the ultra-high temperature flame of the magician's red can do it.

Abdel raised his spirits, Magician's Red screamed, and billowing pillars of flame shot out from his hands, like a dragon swiftly swimming around the room.The ultra-high-temperature flame formed by the energy of the avatar ignites the wooden furniture, cloth curtains, and wall decorations and paintings in the room the moment it touches them.

Colleen signaled Polnareff to retreat to the center of the room with her, and moved the sofa, seat, carpet and other furniture out of an open space to minimize the possibility of being burned, and at the same time surround them around her.

They moved very quickly, but obviously the other party also came very quickly.The magician's red had just lit about half of the furniture in the room, and a circular cut suddenly appeared on the closed door.

A great flickering flame stood between them and the door.Soon, even Ke Lin and the others felt the scorching heat, followed by choking smoke.

"His stand-in will devour the objects it touches as it advances...and also devour that part of the air." Kelin said, sweat dripping from the corner of her forehead, "So, on the track he is advancing, the movement of the flames must be There will be noticeable changes."

Magician's Red finally sets everything around it on fire.At the same time that the magician's red disappeared, Abdel also fell down again exhausted.

Colleen took a tablecloth that had been pulled in advance, tore it open with her hands, and handed it to Polnareff, asking him to protect Abdel and his nose and mouth.While doing these movements, she and Polnareff stared closely at the flames around them, not daring to slack off.

"I see him!" cried Polnareff suddenly. "He's coming from the right! Get out of the way!"

Polnareff's right is her left rear.

Kelin used a substitute to lead Abdel sideways to avoid it.Something invisible and colorless in the air passed by them, and when passing above the flames, the flames slightly gathered towards the area it passed through.That's because it devours the air in the area it passes through, and when it leaves, the air on the side will flow into that void, and the air current will drive the flames, causing the flames to draw a clear trajectory for them.

"I saw him!" repeated Polnareff, "I saw that guy, his weakness—"

Polnareff put the chariot beside him, held up the long sword, and looked around nervously for the trajectory of the flame change.

Colleen quickly understood what he meant, and Polnareff seemed to have discovered the other party's breakthrough.

"he--"

Polnareff wanted to explain a few words to her, but the next moment he opened his eyes, the chariot stabbed out the long sword like lightning.

Seeing that it was just a long sword stabbing into the void, it accurately captured the black double that only appeared for a moment. The long sword pierced through the black double's wide open mouth and pierced Vanilla Ace's forehead.

"When confirming our location, if you don't poke your head out, you won't be able to see what's going on outside! This is your weakness, Vanillace!" Polnareff yelled sharply, and the chariot drew its sword Inserted deeper, "Give me death!"

Vanilla Ace showed an unbelievable expression, he gasped, his festering cheeks occasionally fell off, and his round eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes.

"...I won't die until I kill you all...for Master Dio, I'll throw you all into the dark space...and then get rid of Joestar—"

After a while, Vanilla Ace began to struggle, and the black substitute reached out and grabbed the chariot by the neck.

"...What's going on with this guy...why isn't he dead...?" Polnareff couldn't breathe, and asked with difficulty.

Kelin on the side had already placed Abdel on the ground, and at this moment, the stand-in grabbed the black stand-in's wrist so hard that he had no choice but to relax his grip on Polnareff.

"It seems that Dio turned him into a vampire, and he didn't even know about it." Colleen said.

She let the double hold the black double's hand, and she raised her hand, condensing ripple energy at the fingertips, then injected the rest of the hair into the ripple, and threw it into the black double's wide-open mouth.Vanilla Ace was double imprisoned by her and Polnareff, and there was no way to escape. They all hit Vanilla Ace in the face.

Several clear blood pits quickly appeared on Vanilla Ace's face, and there were constantly beating golden ripples in these wounds.Then starting from these points, the cracks spread along with the golden ripples, and Vanilla Ace let out a loud cry, but before the cry was finished, his head was completely cracked, and the fragments gradually turned into pieces as they fell. ash.

Polnareff withdrew his sword and stopped looking at Vanilla Ace's gradually collapsing body.

"Let's leave this room." Colin said to him with a sigh of relief.

She could already smell the burning smell of her hair, and if they stayed a little longer, they might get burned.

"Ah. Let's go." Polnareff replied.

Polnareff smashed the nearest window with his chariot, and they crossed the fire as fast as they could, and from there they left the room and entered the courtyard.

Back in the safe area, Kelin slapped away the little flames on Abdel and himself, and then looked at Abdel's condition. He didn't know when he passed out again.

Kelin looked at Polnareff who was also slapping the flames and dust on his body.

Polnareff also looked at her for a while.

After a while, he said hesitantly: "I..."

"Polnareff, can I ask you to send Abdel to the doctor of the SPW consortium?" Colleen said first.

Polnareff was taken aback for a moment, he gritted his teeth, looked away, but did not answer immediately.

"Polnareff, listen to me." Colin emphasized her tone.

Polnareff lowered his head to look at Abdel, his eyes were slightly red.

"I'm sorry, I know, it's too much to ask you to leave the battlefield now. But someone must take them to the hospital." Colleen said, "But I can't leave, I..."

"Stop talking, I understand." Polnareff held back his trembling voice, "I'll take him there." He immediately raised his voice, "But I'll be right back. When you see Jotaro and the others, tell They, I, Polnareff, will be here soon. Definitely will be back."

"Okay. If the matter is settled before you come back, don't blame us for not waiting for you." Colleen joked with Polnareff in a pretended relaxed tone.

Although the joke was not very good, Polnareff smiled admiringly.

The car they drove was still parked on the street outside the courtyard gate, and Colleen kept the keys in a tactical pouch pinned to her belt.

Colleen still led Abdel with her double, and walked quickly to the parking place of the car together with Polnareff.

Along the way, Kelin kept looking around.She remembered being attacked by Petsha when they entered the door, and it was Izzy who reminded them.Petsha's attention then turned to Izzy, and it's very likely that she would continue to hunt for Izzy after they were isolated by hallucinations.She didn't find any sign of Iggy and Petsha until she passed through the courtyard gate, but when she walked out of the gate, she saw several cracks on the ground that were smashed by ice picks.

Her gaze followed the direction of the cracks, and at the bottom of a corner wall 20 meters away, she saw something that looked like a black claw.

"Wait for me." Colin said to Polnareff after carefully putting Abdel into the front seat of the car and securing his body with the seat belt.

She ran there quickly, and she saw Iqi lying on the ground after turning the corner.He was filthy all over, and he seemed to have fallen here exhausted when he returned from defeating his opponent after a fierce battle.Kelin checked his body. Apart from the suspected frostbite, abrasions, and bruises under the fur, his left front paw was the most seriously injured, and half of the front paw was broken from the middle.Izzy didn't know what method was used, the blood from the wound was no longer flowing out.

Kelin's heart tightened, and she hurriedly picked up Iky, who seemed to sense that someone was coming, raised his eyelids, and opened his eyes to look at Kelin.

"Iggy?" Colleen said softly, "It's okay, I'll let the SPW doctor treat you in a while."

Izzy made a snorting sound from his nose, and when he saw that it was her, he relaxed and stayed in her arms peacefully.

Colleen carried Izzy back to the front of the car. Polnareff saw Izzy in her arms from a distance and immediately came up to him.With a concerned face, he was greatly relieved when he learned that Iqi's life was not in danger.

Colleen put Izzy in the back seat of the car, handed the car keys to Polnareff, and told him in a low voice: "Go right from here, and walk 300 meters to the left after the first intersection, SPW Consortium The respondent is nearby."

Colleen took out the walkie-talkie from her pocket, adjusted the channel, handed it to Polnareff, and told him how to use it and how to contact the SPW personnel.

"Be careful on the road, Polnareff."

"Leave it to me." Polnareff said. He paused before starting the vehicle, and then said to Colleen, "Hey, you should find Mr. Joestar and the others first, and don't act alone."

"Who are you talking to?" Colleen smiled, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Kelin watched Polnareff's car disappear safely at the end of the road, before turning her head to look at the quiet courtyard and big house.

Before re-entering the gate, she noticed her rather indescribable hairstyle from the projection on the ground.

Because it was cut off from one side by the long sword, her hair was long on one side and short on the other, with uneven ends.

"Let's go to the barber shop when it's over."

She touched her dog-gnawing hairstyle in disgust, and decided to treat it as if it didn't exist for the time being.

Walking into the hall, you can see that the flames in the side hall are still burning, the thick carpet and the decorative paintings on the wall have all been ignited, and the tongue of fire swallows chaotic heat inside the door.

The current time is around 5:[-] pm.If you don't hurry up and wait for the sky to darken, Dio will have no scruples in his actions.

Although Kelin intends to set the whole house on fire so that Dio has nowhere to hide, but Joseph, Jotaro and Kakyoin don't know where they are and whether they are trapped, so she has to temporarily give up this idea.

In the lobby on the first floor, there are still fragments left by Vanilla Ace, and to the left is the stairs to the second floor.She stood under the stairs for a while, but Joseph and the others still did not appear.Just now, she was eager to send Abdel to treatment, so she didn't think much about it. Now that she thinks about it, maybe she should contact Joseph first.

Colleen was thinking about whether to go to the basement floor again. After all, Joseph and the others were dragged to the basement floor, and she and Polnareff just returned from the basement floor to the lobby on the first floor.If Joseph and the others were caught by the enemy, they might still be there.

However, before she could make a decision, a heavy and viscous sense of terror descended from the sky.She couldn't help but froze, and it took a lot of effort to calm herself down.

She is familiar with this feeling.She had been controlled by his granulation, and had been at his command for as long as a year.

Dio, he's right above her.

"...Dio."

Kelin raised her head, and on the upper floors at the end of the stairs, in the shadows where direct sunlight could not reach, Dio's tall figure emerged there.

He crossed his arms and looked down, opened his mouth full of fangs, and his voice was so peaceful that it seemed that the murderous aura in the air was an illusion of Kelin.

"Long time no see, Corinne."
