In the early morning, Jonathan and Zebelin packed their bags and prepared to return to the Joestar family's mansion.

The huge old castle is desolate and empty, and it has been specially repaired so that it does not see the sun all year round, so it is not suitable for human habitation.He insisted on taking one night to visit his brother, and now he has to return as soon as possible to take care of related affairs in place of his sick father.

Before leaving, Jonathan, who noticed something was missing, looked around the temporarily covered doorway, and finally chose to ask Dio, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book.

"Where's Cui?"

"Are you a kid who can't leave without a mother's kiss before going out?"

The blond young man snorted, didn't even bother to look up at him, just turned the book slowly.

"Bendio didn't tie him up, probably because he didn't want to see you, so he hid."

There was a urging from Mr. Zeppelin who had already set up the carriage outside the door. Jonathan agreed loudly. After a short hesitation, he stepped forward and approached Dio who was sitting on the sofa with a leisurely attitude.

Looking at those dark red eyes that were finally raised from the book, thinking of the past few years of getting along day and night and the heinous actions of this person, I couldn't tell what I was feeling deep in my heart, but sighed with mixed feelings tone.

Before the other party asked impatiently, he took out a dull and wrinkled brown paper bag from his backpack, and put the bulging but light bag on the table in front of Dio.

The latter raised his eyebrows: "Oh, what is this?"

"I don't know." Jonathan answered truthfully, and walked towards the door under the call of the master, "Cui asked me to bring it here. He said it was your thing, but I couldn't find the time to send it out. Since he is not here, I I had to hand it over on my behalf."

The door curtain that blocked the light was lifted, and the glare of the passing sunlight made Dio shiver a little.Inadvertently looking at the book spread out on his knees, he sat on the sofa maintaining his original posture, propping his chin with one hand, his eyes focused aimlessly somewhere in midair, the looming dust in the dim light.

The sound of the carriage gradually faded away and finally disappeared. The young man sat silently in the dark and silent castle, like an unconscious statue.

After an unknown amount of time, the red eyes blinked lightly, like a pair of firefly taillights flickering at night.He didn't touch the paper bag on the table, but stood up abruptly, let the books on his lap fall on the carpet, left the main hall without hesitation, and went down the winding stone stairs all the way to the bottom. in front of the ice cellar.

When the door was not opened, a piercing chill had leaked from the gap, and the environment inside was harsher than the real ice and snow. If you stay in it for too long, it may be life-threatening for human beings.

In a low temperature environment, the activity of microorganisms will be effectively slowed down.Normally it is used to keep blood bags, but late last night, the vampires, who took advantage of the deacon's negligence to commit crimes, hid some... other things here.

Pale mist swirled around the ice, and among the high piles of irregular ice lay a rather abrupt foreign object—a black coffin with a golden cross-shaped decoration on its surface.

Dio walked forward with a blank expression, brushed off the ice on the surface of the European-style coffin, and with a little force, pushed the coffin lid and slid it aside.

In the same coffin filled with ice and overflowing with snow-white cold air, the deacon whom Jonathan missed was lying quietly in it, with his eyes closed and a peaceful expression, his hands in white gloves folded on his chest, and his appearance was standard. Like a princess in distress waiting to be woken up by the kiss of her real son.

Disturbed by this inexplicable thought, his eyes slid over the lips of the rose buds with only a very faint trace of blood remaining, as if snow had fallen, and suddenly fell into the shadow along the porcelain white neck.

He bent down and searched the side of his neck for the scar from last night.

For a vampire, blood symbolizes power, and the more he looted from Cui, the more powerless the other party could resist him.

Dio Brando has always been an opportunist. If he can completely overwhelm the devil who restrains and controls him, then there is no reason not to do so.This time, Yu Gongcui will take herself lightly for some boring reasons. If she lets go halfway, it will never be so simple to gain the advantage next time——

After quickly estimating the situation, he did not hesitate, and just sucked out the deacon's blood.

It is not fatal to vampires, it will only temporarily fall into dormancy due to excessive weakness, and if it is supplemented with fresh blood, it will soon wake up again.

Dior, however, wasn't about to do that.

He wiped out all the food stored in the ice cellar, and then transferred the unconscious Yu Gongcui to this place, so that the low temperature would further slow down the speed of the deacon's awakening.

Checking the wound at this time also wanted to see how effective this method was.Sure enough, under the double drag of weakness and low temperature, even after a whole night, the circular wound left by his own blood sucking, which should have healed instantly, only faintly showed signs of healing at this time.

Dio's eyes flashed, and in order to prolong the sleep time of the other party as much as possible, he bit it again, sucking and devouring the meager newborn blood, and then licked his lips in satisfaction.

tasty.

Compared with those blood packs with anticoagulants, it is like carefully brewed Darjeeling black tea compared with the smelly and tasteless white water of the slums.

He stretched out his hand, and his index finger slid all the way down along the black hair, forehead, high nose bridge and pale soft lips, and finally stopped at the position of the heart.

"If only you would be obedient."

He savored the sweetness in his mouth, and said regretfully, without realizing how similar it was to the other party's lines in the past.

Trying to control each other, suppressing each other to follow his own preset path... This round, he finally won a complete victory.

Next, what should I do with you?

——This is not a question worthy of too much hesitation.

The wind knight collar was originally a remote town chosen to restrict Dio as a vampire. Now that he has regained his freedom, it is impossible for him to stay here forever.

And if Yugong wakes up, he will definitely try his best to sabotage his good deeds... For the sake of eternal freedom, then he can only deal with it.

The blond-haired young man stood up, his movements were as gentle as if he was worried about waking up his sleeping lover, his arms passed through his armpits and the bends of his legs, and he slowly hugged the deacon out of the ice.

At this time, it was in the morning, the wind was clear and the clouds were bright, and the sun was just right.

-----------------------------------

Fast-forward a week, and when Jonathan came to visit again, he was warmly welcomed by Dio, who had escaped from the cage, and the whole town.

If Qibelin hadn't been worried about his newly recruited apprentice who decided to accompany him, and he himself was very talented in Ripples, and had already achieved quite high achievements, he probably would have been caught off guard and confessed there.

Although the master suggested to go back and call the brothers of the same school and gather strength to punish rape and eliminate evil, Jonathan, who was in a mess of thoughts, couldn't listen at all, and only one thought remained in his mind.

Tsui...how is it?

When he left last week, the deacon did not show up to see him off.Such an abnormal situation, I actually let it go lightly and didn't go into it!

If that person is still there, Dio will definitely not be allowed to act like this.But now that the facts are in front of him, there seems to be only one possibility left for Yu Gongcui's ending.

"Don't think too much." Qibelin, who has experienced more things in the world, was a little bit vicissitudes, and he saw through Jonathan's thoughts at a glance, and comforted him, "Although they are vampires, after all, the two of them still have years of getting along with each other. mutual affection--"

Touched by a certain word, Jonathan Joestar raised his pale face as if being stabbed by a needle.

"...You don't know what kind of person Dio is! This kind of words really makes sense for ordinary people, but if it is in the way of his purpose, even my father and I, that guy can hurt me without hesitation. Kill me!"

The atmosphere fell into a heavy silence.

Jonathan took a deep breath and apologized to his master for his gaffe. At the same time, he also made up his mind to question Dio face to face.

Despite the disgusting nature of vampires, deep down, there is still a sliver of luck.

For so many years before, Cui and Dio got along very well, and they seemed to have some kind of check and balance.Besides, the deacon also understands that person's nature, so he won't be defenseless and lead to the worst situation, right?

So, after gathering a group of Ripple warriors and rushing into the familiar old castle, there was no heartbroken criticism, no impassioned declaration of war, the first thing Jonathan did was to fight against the man who was surrounded by corpses and perched on the throne. The figure of Dao asked forgetfully.

"Where's Cui?!! What did you do to him?!"

And the blond young man let out a high-pitched and cruel laugh, looking down at him from above, with undisguised malice in his red eyes.

"What did I do?" After the laughter stopped, the deep voice with a scalp-numbing magnetism asked him meaningfully, "Don't you know it very well, JOJO?"

"Those who stand in the way of Bendio's progress will always end in one end!"

He... didn't deny it.

The meager expectations are like the ice surface reflecting the dream, and they are smashed to pieces by the heavy reality in an instant.

The string called reason was finally broken by anger, and Jonathan let out a loud cry that he didn't realize, the ripples wrapped around his right arm, and he rushed towards the arrogant vampire on the throne.

-----------------------------------

Yu Gongcui had a dream.

It seems like this has never happened since becoming a blood clan.

And the protagonist of the dream is not a black mud spirit who almost caused him PTSD, but Jonathan—Jonathan who faced the vampire Dio alone without himself and Alina.

Intermittent fragments flashed before his eyes, and he was like a ghost, silently watching the development of the situation in mid-air from a third-person perspective.

The dead Sir Joestar, the burning familiar mansion, and the camera gradually zoomed in, and the entire Wind Knight collar was turned into a purgatory by the unscrupulous Dior.

Although Jonathan, who had learned the ripples, was not afraid, and finally cut off Dio's head with the help of his companions, but the latter did not die, but sneaked into Jonathan and Elena with the help of the corpse. The cruise ship he was on finally killed the old enemy as he wished, and took away JOJO's body.

A veritable nightmare.

Although the first half was not the same as the reality, it was confirmed that this was just a possibility that did not happen, but in the end, watching Jonathan exhausted on the burning cruise ship, smiling and dying with Dio, I still couldn't help feeling asphyxia.

If the situation really turned into that, it would undoubtedly be a great dereliction of duty by his deacon.

Although I knew that the two were incompatible, but, but——

[I will do my best, I assure you. 】

Facing Ser Joestar who was worried about his juniors, he had promised so.At that time, he knew that this obligation was equally divided between the two ends of the scale, so heavy, but since he had already promised, there was absolutely no reason to go back and forth.

In the thick darkness, the crow feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly.

Maybe... nothing to do with promises.

It's just that he doesn't want to see that kind of ending.

Although the eyelids were as heavy as a heavy burden, and the feeling of weakness from all over the body made people too lazy to move their fingertips, after almost all the willpower, Yu Gongcui still opened his eyes with difficulty.

Unrecognizable, strange black.

He rested for a while, gathered enough strength to raise his hand, and sure enough, he encountered a hard obstacle not far from his face, which seemed to be a wooden board wrapped in silk.

After finally pushing the board away and confirming that there is no direct sunlight outside, Amamiya Cui turned out of the small black sliding box panting.

After his eyes adjusted to the light, he took a closer look at his uniquely designed bed—oh, it was a coffin.

... This taste is very Dior Brando.

It's not a day or two for this guy to have a unique aesthetic. If it weren't for the complete suits that Yu Gongcui bought and matched in the closet, it would be hard to imagine what the second young master who let himself go would dress up.

Shocked by the imaginary scene, his face turned pale, and the deacon lay on the soft carpet to breathe for a while, allowing the dropped san value and exhausted physical strength to recover together.

There was still an obstacle above his head, he drilled out from the side, and the space finally opened up a bit, so he could sit up at least.Yu Gongcui, who finally gained vision, looked around in a daze, and found that she was in Dior's bedroom, with the big bed with crimson curtains in front of her.

He was silent for a while.

The second young master put his coffin under his bed...?

The non-human way of thinking is indeed difficult to understand, Yu Gongcui gave up thinking, and rightly regarded it as a manifestation of the other party's trust.

On the desk on the right is a familiar red dress, a relic of Dior's mother.It seems that after he fell into a coma, Jonathan handed it over to Dio directly—so, the young master has already left, right?What time is it now?

Lifting up the curtains a thin gap, only after realizing that it was already night outside, opened it with confidence.I thought that the past day and night were not too long, but after lifting the hand that was propped on the table, his complexion changed a bit.

The position of the fingertips was covered with a thin layer of dust.

Yu Gongcui wiped a smear on the table in disbelief, rubbing her thumb and index finger, her face completely sank.

——It seems that it is necessary to ask the second young master for clarification.

However, after searching the castle, there was still no one there, and even obvious traces of battle were found in the main hall, with blackened blood spattered high on the furniture.

Yu Gongcui had a bad premonition in his heart, and after rushing to the nearby settlements and found that the whole town was empty, this bad feeling climbed to the peak.

"The wind knight leader was slaughtered, and the corrugated warriors attacked the vampires", isn't this part of the nightmare, the part before Dio sneaked into the cruise ship with only the head left? !

Fortunately, the horse was still alive, and without even caring about sucking blood to adjust its state, Yu Gongcui got on the horse and rushed towards Joestar's mansion without stopping.

We must arrive as soon as possible, maybe there is still a chance to reverse the situation——! !

At first, I was consoling myself that it was just a dream that happened to overlap, but when I really rushed back to Qiao’s house, I learned from the sleepy servant that “Master Jonathan and Miss Elena are going to take a boat to France for vacation, and they just left home this afternoon. ", it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head, and the gaps in the joints were filled with ice slag.

Before he had time to say hello to Sir Joestar who was sleeping, Amamiya Cui replaced the panting horse under him, took a deep look at the dark windows with lights off on the second floor, and rushed to the port without delay.

Time passed by bit by bit, even if he was anxious, there was no way for him to rush to Jonathan's side in an instant.

And if he is lucky enough to arrive at the scene in time, how will he face Dio, who has only one head left and hopes to snatch JOJO's body to survive?

Lower your body and lean on the horseback to reduce the resistance. At this moment, you subconsciously glance at the system count: Dio Brando, with a trust value of 57.

But he and Dior were not friends.

What's more, the latter committed such a terrible crime in the wind knight collar.

Asking herself, Yu Gongcui didn't have the slightest idea of ​​covering him up, but...it shouldn't be herself who sent him to death.

It should not be me as a deacon.

He urged the horse under his crotch to go faster, and the horse's hooves stepped on the thinner night to the gradually brighter dawn.

When we arrived at the port, we were only a mile away from the real dawn, and the sun that had not yet climbed out of the horizon scattered light in the atmosphere, causing Yu Gongcui's skin, which was not covered by clothes, to start to hurt slightly.

He tried not to waste time, locked on to the staff at the port in an instant, and asked succinct questions.

"Has the ship for France left?"

"You are one step late," the other party replied apologetically, "that ship has already set off, just 10 minutes ago."

Taking a deep breath to calm down her annoyance, Yugong Cui squinted her eyes and looked at the hazy eastern sky, and finally closed her eyes, clenched her teeth and made up her mind.

When the black eyes opened again, they were already calm and calm again.

"Give me a speedboat, please."

Although he thought Amamiya Cui's actions were unreasonable, but because of his high-class clothes and the high-value check he signed, the man immediately asked his superiors for instructions and made the deal.

"Five ton yacht, steam powered, nuclear for two people. You paid enough for it, so don't worry, use it to your heart's content!"

Small boats designed for tourists to drive by themselves are moored on the shore and do not require professional operation.As the staff said, the space is not big, and it is barely enough to accommodate two people.

The man explained that this is the most common model at present, and it is prepared for middle-class couples who come to play.And if a ship with a larger tonnage is needed, it will take time to transfer it from other ports.

Yu Gongcui looked at the three small boats parked side by side, and found that they were all double boats of the same specification, and she was no longer picky. White lines that quickly dissipate are stretched out on the generally cold ocean surface.

Can you find it?Can you catch up?

Originally being chased by the dawn and dusk line, more and more doubts arose, but not long after sailing, I found billowing black smoke with a clear sense of presence when looking from a distance.

...That ship really had an accident.

When the speedboat arrived, the starboard side of the cruise ship had sunk to almost level with the ocean surface, while the front end was tilted high, pointing to the sky at an oblique [-]-degree angle.

Yu Gongcui parked the boat aside, jumped onto the deck before the first rays of sunlight fell on her in the morning, and rushed into the boiler control room at the fastest speed.

The first thing I saw when I entered the door was Jonathan lying in a pool of blood with his eyes closed.

Her heart seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, Yu Gongcui stepped forward holding her breath, and after a simple inspection, she finally let go of her heart that had been hanging high all night, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The heart is still beating, still alive!But with this amount of bleeding, you have to find a doctor quickly——

However, the sun was rising outside, and he could no longer go out.He simply stopped the bleeding of JOJO, who was breathing weakly, and was just about to go to the cabin to find traces of Elena, when his wrist was loosely grasped.

Yu Gongcui lowered her head and tentatively called out: "...Eldest Young Master?"

Jonathan's pupils were dilated, and he didn't respond to his voice at all. He just coughed and repeated softly in a hoarse voice: "Elena... is hiding, and there are children... This place is going to explode, hurry, hurry and leave..."

hide?Where can you hide on a ship on the verge of exploding?

Before he had time to think, he came up with the answer directly—a very abrupt black coffin was placed in the corner of the boiler room, and the word "DIO" was spelled out with metal decorations on the tightly closed edge, for fear of others Not sure whose high-end taste this is.

If it wasn't for the inappropriate timing, Yu Gongcui would have laughed out loud.

He estimated the remaining time, patted the coffin to call out the girl hiding in it, glanced at the baby in her arms, guessed it was a survivor among the passengers.

But it doesn't matter, such a small child can still afford a yacht.

When he half-dragged and half-dragged Jonathan on the floor with Elena, he fell into the arms of the unconscious JOJO, and rolled down a furry golden spherical object.

Elena screamed, carrying Jonathan a little further away, but Yu Gongcui looked at it intently, and her complexion suddenly became a little weird.

What fell from the young master's arms was none other than Dio's head, which still had life and intelligence.

After thinking for a while, he finally picked up the second young master who had rolled on the floor with a world-weary expression, hugged him in his arms like holding a pet cat, and stroked the soft blond hair on the back of his head.

Dio, who was pretending to be dead, opened his eyes immediately, and the red eyes stared at him aggressively.

"Disrespectful! Bendio's soul hasn't fallen into your hands yet, at least keep respecting until the last moment!"

The sound of the yacht starting came from outside the control room.Yu Gongcui and Dio listened together, the noise that symbolized the hope of survival gradually faded away, and soon reached a place where even vampires could not catch.

"I saved Master Jonathan and ruined your plan." Yu Gongcui said softly, "Without me, you could have fulfilled your wish and successfully occupied Jonathan's body."

What answered him was a cold snort that was obviously displeased, but not in a state of madness.

"Yeah, you are the kind of guy who keeps Bendio in check. Have you realized how annoying you are now?"

The copper pipe ruptured due to the pressure, making a sharp whine, and the gushing white steam soon filled the entire room, like the panting and mourning of the entire ship when it was about to die.

After completing the urgent task that he had been thinking about, the motivation that had urged Yu Gongcui to move forward disappeared, replaced by a feeling of weakness that made people break out in cold sweat.

Holding Dior's head, he fell into the special aesthetic coffin in the corner, closed the coffin lid under the urging of the second young master who only had one head left and could still beep, and sighed silently in the darkness in one breath.

Feeling the breath, Dio said displeased: "Ben Dio, who is on the verge of failure, didn't make a sound. When is it your turn to be sad here? Hold it back!"

Yugong Cui gave a low laugh, but didn't sigh anymore.Amidst the more frequent and harsher cracking of pipes, he raised the blond head to his eyes, stared at the pair of red eyes shining in the darkness, and asked the question that had been brewing for a long time.

"Since I already knew that I would be bound...then why didn't you kill me while I was unconscious when I was in the castle, Second Young Master?"

Instead of Dio, who was silent for a while, to answer, the overwhelmed boiler finally sounded, a deafening huge explosion.
