【Chenghua】Your hand in mine

The helicopter landed on the Florida coastline, Kakyoin walked out of the cabin, a gust of wind from the huge propeller ruffled his hair, and the salty smell of the sea brushed over his bloodshot eyes, making them dry.Looking around, everyone hurried back and forth between the temporary blue tents. Everyone was like a life-saving straw, but their brows were furrowed and their expressions were frozen.No one noticed the eastern face who had just stepped off the plane, and the helicopter quickly flew away-it was going to bring more people here.

Just over a dozen hours ago, Kakyoin was still on the phone asking its superiors for permission to temporarily withdraw from the mission and go to Florida, and the reasons were naturally not considered reasonable.Intermittent phone signals in the Middle East made the dispute even more stalemate. His tone was so fierce that he almost wanted to smash the phone and leave this ghost place. Fortunately, his teammates grabbed his shoulder and snatched the phone in time, barely keeping Kakyoin on his neck. I have hung up my work permit for most of my life.Even though I don't care at all.

"Dian, you are in a very unstable mood right now. Give me a call and I'll help you." The teammate is a handsome Italian. His mild tongue-rolling tone made Kakyoin somewhat quiet, and he handed over the phone to him, alone. One person went outside and swallowed clouds and mist in front of a bright moon.Half an hour later, he managed to get on the dispatcher's helicopter all the way to the airport, boarded a red-eye flight, and boarded another helicopter after arriving in Florida.Before leaving, his roommate asked him to sleep on the road, but Kakyoin couldn't close his eyes, and his hands couldn't stop shaking.He instinctively wanted to take the lighter out of his pocket, and suddenly remembered that smoking was not allowed in the cabin, and the lighter was also confiscated during the security check.The scenery outside the window turned day and night upside down, lost the concept of time, and the anxiety faded away, replaced by waves of higher worries.

To be honest, since Kakyoin lived to a certain age, her mood has rarely fluctuated greatly.Not only him, everyone has fixed his life day by day since the day he became an adult. When life is finalized and there is only running around, there is no possibility of any new development in the following days. Emotions The temperature is also dropping step by step every day.Not to mention after forty years, half of the body is almost buried in the soil, and the rest of the time is only for the moment when the head is buried.Kakyoin’s idea is very simple. When he can retire, he will use all his savings to buy a villa by the sea, paint and walk the dog every day, and occasionally visit a few friends—including Jotaro; or invite him to move together. Come here, so I can take care of you.Not long ago, Kakyoin was full of thoughts about this matter, until he learned that Jotaro fell into the sea and disappeared.

He still remembered that Jotaro said that he was going to the United States to find Xu Lun, and then there was no news for several months.This is not uncommon. I often go on missions to some barren land with no signal. If I am lucky, there is a landline phone, which costs five dollars a minute. If I am not good enough, I can write a letter. When the person returns, the letter will almost arrive.In the past few months, Kakyoin’s life has been overwhelmed by work. It seems that Dior’s remnants will never be cleaned up. He and his Italian teammates went deep into the Middle East for this reason. In short, neither of them contacted the other. As a result, a letter came from the headquarters. Secret mail, after unlocking, the content is to go to Florida to find two stars.Stars are a special term inside SpeedWagon, in other words, not only did something happen to Jotaro, Xu Lun was also involved in danger.

Kakyoin didn't quite understand the meaning of the word "find", and the boss didn't explain too much in detail on the phone.During the flight time of more than ten hours, he only ate a few bites of compressed biscuits and swallowed it with a can of military espresso.Kakyoin stood at the place where he got off the plane, not knowing whether to feel fear or despair—it was obvious that they were going to "find" them in the sea.The waters of the Atlantic beat against the cliffs, and life is so thin here that it will be swallowed by big waves at any time.He took a few steps back in a vain manner, and the dizziness of standing on the edge of the cliff faded away.Finally someone greeted him, it seemed to be connecting, the voice was very familiar.Kakyoin turned around, and Dongfang Jousuke was standing behind him, holding a large stack of materials in his hand.

"Yo, how are you?"

At this time, Dongfang Jousuke was in his early thirties. Except for his age and a more stable aura, nothing seemed to have changed, especially his iconic hairstyle.The last time I saw him was a 16-year-old boy, a high school student.Kakyoin looked at him as if looking at another Jotaro, which somewhat reassured him, and after a while, the two walked into the tent together.Dongfang's original intention was to let him take a rest, but Kakyoin shook his head, sat in the crowd at the meeting, and had a general understanding of the situation, and then took the first batch of search and rescue boats and went out to sea with Dongfang and others.

About a dozen hours ago, a little boy called 911 to say that someone on the east coast needed to be searched and rescued, and the SpeedWagon headquarters was naturally informed, because Jotaro was preparing to go to a space base in Florida before he lost his voice.They contacted the little boy and confirmed that it was Jotaro and his party who fell into the sea.He seemed unwilling to reveal too much information about himself, he only said that the priest had been killed, then hung up the phone, and the call back showed a busy signal.The little boy did not report his name, and his identity is a mystery, but no one cares about this issue now. Apart from looking for someone, they must recover Pucci’s body before Dior’s remnants—although it is impossible to recover a few of them. Know.

The first batch of people who went to sea were almost all search-and-search type substitute envoys.Kakyoin is stretching the Emperor as far as possible so that it can be spread over a large sea area.In the past, he used this method to search for an entire ship, a house, and even a village.Manipulating a stand-in in a large area is very exhausting. After a while, he will step down and replace someone else, and continue after a short rest.One afternoon passed, the searched area was only a fraction of the sea, and all the people sweated but found nothing. Not only that, the second and third batches of sea searches also had no results, and all the things they caught were seaweed garbage, and Carcasses of marine animals.Kakyoin didn't finish listening to the report, went outside to dry off his sweat, lit a cigarette, and wrote his name on the night search and rescue registration form.

The reinforcements arrived one after another in the middle of the night.The next day's search and rescue began around dawn. About two ships and one helicopter led the way, and most of the people in the camp went out to sea to find people.Finally, around two o'clock in the afternoon, the pager sounded a special signal for the first time, and an unconscious long-haired man was found on the shoal about 100 nautical miles away from the station. His chest and abdomen were pierced, he lost too much blood, and his pulse was weak, but there was still a trace of life. .Dongfang rushed over immediately, and the team also divided into two groups, covering the coastline all the way north and south to conduct a carpet search, and some ships and helicopters conducted large-scale surveys on the periphery.In the evening, the person who was first discovered was sent back to Base. At the same time, another woman was rescued. She was floating on the sea, unconscious and accompanied by mild dehydration symptoms. The longer-haired man was only slightly injured. Minor injuries, nothing serious.On the third day, a helicopter found Xu Lun alive.One of the stars was salvaged, and there was another one left. Everyone tried their best, as if to turn the Atlantic upside down, but at this time, the weather was not good, and a sudden storm interrupted the mission. Back, when the sea calmed down again, it was already the evening of the next day.Kujo Jotaro's whereabouts remain unknown.

The best time for rescue has long passed, coupled with the bad weather, although it was not said, the ominous atmosphere became stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.The long-term high-load operation makes people tired, and the work efficiency is obviously not as good as before. The team only traveled less than [-] nautical miles a day, and naturally they got nothing.The team returned to the camp in a relaxed manner. Huajingyuan was still looking at the sea. After a few days, he didn't rest much, and he didn't have time to rest. He never felt that his ability was so limited. With such a long coastline and such a large sea area, even the Emperor Let them all out, and the only thing you can touch is sea water, which is cold and has no breath of life.

Although three people were rescued, no one was happy about the event.What Huajingyuan didn't expect was that at the meeting that night, someone directly said that there should be no hope, that no one can be found, and even if they are found, they will not be alive. Everyone should go back and continue their respective tasks.It is true that many of the people who gathered in the tent were people who were dispatched halfway. Many people were still jet-lagged and had dark circles around their eyes. There was a complete silence as soon as this remark was made. No one wanted to stand up to refute him and say something inspiring If so, they are very tired.

The only two people present who were close to Jotaro had a bad expression on their faces.Kakyoin clenched his gloves tightly, his knuckles turned white, and Jousuke nudged him with his elbow, signaling not to be impulsive.They sat next to each other by the tent, Kakyoin pursed his lips, and finally stood up. For a moment, all eyes were on him, on this slightly unfamiliar oriental face.

"He's still alive." After a long time, he opened his mouth tremblingly, his voice hoarse.

"He must still be alive, we have to keep looking, keep looking! Search inch by inch! Even if we search all over the east coast and even the whole of America without results, I believe we can find him in the Arctic Ocean!" Hua Jingyuan said excitedly. English mixed.Dongfang tried to calm him down, but quickly gave up and stood up, and when he finished speaking, he stared at the person who said there was no hope just now, and spoke slowly.

"Mr. Kakyoin is right, we can't give up. In addition, I hope you apologize for the remarks just now, if you don't want to lose your job—or is your loyalty to the Joestar family only so much? But this matter The matter is gratuitous and unreasonable, I don't want to force anyone, if anyone here wants to quit, please apply immediately, do you have any objections, Captain?"

Dongfang seldom speaks on behalf of the Joestar family. He is neither old nor young, and his position is not high, and he is humble. Therefore, people often forget the fact that he is also a member of the Joestar family, but this does not represent him. What he said had no weight, on the contrary, to a certain extent, his right to speak was basically equal to that of the headquarters, but Dongfang didn't usually put on airs.Everyone came to their senses, the person who was rude just now was stared at with chills down his spine, and immediately stood up and apologized, naturally no one would think of applying to quit.The person called the captain could only nod.Dongfang bowed and pulled Kakyoin to sit down.The meeting was able to continue, and no one said anything depressing.

"Thank you," Kakyoin whispered. "I was so excited just now."

"No, thanks to Mr. Kakyoin for speaking up, otherwise I would have wanted to beat him up."

As Kakyoin said, Jotaro was finally found on the sixth day, on a deserted gravel beach.The group of people from Huajingyuan arrived relatively late, he pushed aside the crowd and walked forward, and fell to the ground the moment he saw them.

Is that still Jotaro Kujo?He was lying on a stretcher unconscious, life and death uncertain.Half of his face was smeared with blood, his clothes were scraped into strips by gravel, revealing countless seawater-soaked wounds.Kakyoin just sat like that, not daring to go forward, and there was no strength in her legs at all.Dongfang and the medical staff gathered around the stretcher, and after a while the crowd burst into cheers—he was still alive.

The muscles that had been tensed for several days suddenly relaxed, and even the bones were separated. Kakyoin let his body lean against a rock, and his chest heaved violently.The weather was still cold, and he was sweating all over his body. He fumbled with one hand to take off his coat. The wind was blowing and it was so cold that he had to wrap it tightly around his body, clenched his fingers tightly, and couldn't think about anything with his head empty.He finally felt hunger and cold, a headache and a stomachache came together, and his hands were shaking so much that he could hardly hold the edge of his coat.Everything seemed to go back to the first day when he arrived at the camp. Kakyoin was involved in it, but he was also an outside observer. The rest of the people were all around Jotaro. No one cared what happened to him, and he himself was the same. I watched intently as the doctor cut open Jotaro's clothes, cleaned the wound, performed a physical examination, and administered salt water.About why Jotaro drifted here, what happened during the period, and what he experienced before, he didn't think about it at all, and he didn't dare to think about it.Even if the turbulent sea accommodates ten thousand possibilities, as long as people survive, it is better than anything else.

After finishing the simple cleaning, Jotaro was carried away.The minor wounds on his body were healed by Dongfang's stand-in, but the wounds on his face and neck hadn't been treated, without the protection of blood, he looked very hideous.

Dongfang took off his gloves and caught a glimpse of Kakyoin who was following Jotaro with his eyes. He walked over and patted him on the shoulder. Kakyoin grinned at him, as if returning to his soul.I'm going to be seen as a joke, the middle-aged man thought, it was a bit embarrassing for him to show this side in front of people younger than himself, including the excited look last night.Dongfang didn't care, and told him that Jotaro was out of danger, and now he was sent to the hospital for treatment, and they could leave the camp.A hand full of old wounds reached out, and he remembered that Dongfang's stand-in ability could not heal himself, and even that calmness was used to make others feel at ease-even if his heart was full of anxiety, Dongfang would still stand in the position of protector , block the blade with your arm.Kakyoin held that hand and barely stood up, her footsteps were flimsy.His face was pale, and he was still sweating incessantly. Since he hadn't slept or eaten much for several days, his abdomen, which had been seriously injured in the early years, now showed signs of going to work, and it was constantly hurting.People are old and useless, so he laughed at himself, he slowly walked onto the helicopter while supporting Dongfang, and then sank deeply into the leather seat at the back of the cabin, with his head hanging down.With the roar of the propeller gradually, the gravel beach became smaller and smaller, and the sea moved away from him.But the consciousness turned away from the body, walked out of the cabin, fell, and sank into the bottom of the sea.
