[JD] Today's Dior also feels that there is something wrong with the world

In September 1986, Dior arrived in Mexico.It took her more than a month to visit several island countries in the Caribbean, and then she went to the United States.Dior stayed there for three months, and just before leaving the United States, she met Pucci.

Perhaps for Dior, it would be more appropriate to use the rhetoric of "again".

There is a gravitational force between people, and the gravitational force between her and Pucci is even more amazing—she can’t meet him sooner or later, and the gravitational force between the two happens to make them live together in the same place. It's time to "reunite".

Like last time, she healed Pucci's foot injury and donated a bone from her body to him.They stayed together for several days and discussed many things.It just so happened that Dior had transcended heaven before, and she had a deeper understanding of some previous concepts, and this conversation was even more comforting than the last one.

Before parting, Dior left the Cairo address to Pucci, and they made an appointment for the first correspondence.

For some reason, Dior always felt that Pucci's attitude was a bit subtle this time.It's not that he doesn't agree with her statement or anything like that, it's just that during the conversation between the two of them, he seldom looks directly into her eyes, nor does he speak loudly, and he still maintains a social distance with her, after a few days of getting along Also progress only to personal distance.

Pucci will have this attitude, probably because of her female identity?Dio thought like this, and at the same time lamented in his heart that he had not misjudged the person at the beginning—he is really an upright priest!

However, Jonathan didn't think so. He insisted from a letter that Pucci had ulterior motives.

This happened in February 1987. At that time, Dior ended his trip to Canada and returned to the annex in Cairo. Pucci's first letter followed her footsteps.

In fact, many letters to Dior are sent every day, either letters of admiration or self-recommendation letters, these letters are usually not sent to Dior, and Darby will put these letters away by category every day.Jonathan never cared about this, but this day he happened to get up early, and when he went to the hall, he happened to see little Darby sorting out the letters.

Compared to a large pile of letters put together, a few letters were left alone.

Little Darby explained, "Master Dio ordered that if there is a letter from the United States, it must be delivered to her."

Jonathan nodded, "Dior is still sleeping, so let me take it to her."

"Thank you very much!" said little Darby. "I didn't pay attention at first, and opened one by accident--but then I realized that something was wrong, so I didn't read the contents of the letter. I I was going to tell Mr. DIO that the letter was damaged in the mail, but now it seems unnecessary."

Jonathan: "..."

"Actually, I think it's okay for you to tell the truth to Dio." Jonathan turned his tongue when he saw the terrified expression of rejection on Little Darby's face, "Okay. I will tell Dio according to this statement." Said Then he picked up the letters.

The unsealed letter on the top caught his attention, because the other letters were all written "Received by Mr. DIO", and this one was written "From DIO".

It doesn't look like a letter of admiration.

It's a bit strange.

However, this alone didn't make Jonathan think anything. What really made Jonathan unhappy was that when he put the letter on Dior's bedside, a part of the paper in the envelope leaked out.

Those leaked parts clearly wrote such a sentence——

[I like people who can make themselves grow.You are the king of kings.Where is your goal?No matter what, please take me with you, I will love you like a god. ]

Jonathan: "???"

What's happening here?How did he feel that things were about to develop in a subtle direction?

Okay, okay... just calm down.

After calming down, Jonathan took a cup of coffee and sat on the sofa beside him, waiting for Dio to wake up.

As soon as Dio opened his eyes, he saw Jonathan staring at her seriously. She was taken aback, but it was hard to show it on her face, so she could only scold him in a strange way, "...you are out of your mind? What are you doing sitting here?"

"No. It's just that I woke up a little earlier today." He said lightly, and then pretended to mention unintentionally, "You have some letters from the United States, and I brought them up for you."

"Oh." Dio didn't say any more satirical words about Jonathan. She opened the letters with bright eyes, obviously full of expectations.

Earlier experience had taught Jonathan that oblique insinuations with Dior were useless, so he hit a straight ball, "I didn't mean to read the contents of that letter, I mean - it got damaged in the post , so a letter fell out, so I accidentally saw something, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I wanted to ask - 'I will love you as God', who will write to you What about such a sentence?"

Dio looked at Jonathan with an unfriendly expression, "So you still read my letter?"

"I didn't peek," Jonathan denied. "I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to."

"...Oh, JOJO—look at you pretending to be a gentleman, I'm going to throw up." Dio brushed the other letters to the ground, took out Pucci's letter, and then said to Jonathan casually, " It's a friend I made in America, what do you think?"

[friend]

Dior has a lot of friends in his mouth, and the followers in the annex are all her friends. In the past few years, she would go out every night to "make friends".But the man's intuition told Jonathan that the friends she was talking about this time were not the same as those friends before.

"...What kind of friend is it?"

"Aha—let me guess why you asked this question?" Dio looked away from the text, she looked at Jonathan, and grinned viciously, "Are you jealous?"

Jonathan swallowed and said nothing.

Dio was proud, "I remember I said this to you once, but now I don't mind saying it to you again-JOJO, you look so jealous!"

After the words fell, an unspeakable atmosphere spread from the two of them.Jonathan's face was ugly, and Dio was looking at him defiantly, while guarding against his next move or sharp accusation.

Just when Jonathan was about to speak, Haruno knocked on the door, and then poked his head in, "Dad, Mom?"

The two-year-old Chu Liu is not as willful as she was when she was a baby. Jonathan taught her very well. Even if she came to find her parents, the little girl would obediently knock on the door.

The child is always sensitive, she saw that the atmosphere between her parents was not right, she didn't dare to come in, she just held the door panel and gnawed on her own fingers and said timidly, "I'm hungry..."

"Here we come." Jonathan forced a gentle smile, "What would Fluffy want to eat? Can you go to the restaurant and wait for Dad first?"

Hatsune looked at Dio cautiously, and seeing that she didn't respond, she nodded, closed the door and left.

"Anyway." Jonathan stood up and walked towards the door. Finally, he took a deep look at Dio, "I hope you can at least remember that you are a mother. It doesn't matter that I look ugly with jealousy, please don't let yourself become ugly."

In Victorian England, some bad habits still existed in the upper class.For example, aristocratic couples play their own things, as long as they don't bring them to gatherings of high-class people, everything is OK. To be more exaggerated, it is not uncommon for couples to play with a girl or boy.

But all of this is based on the premise that there is no relationship between husband and wife or the relationship foundation is extremely weak.

Jonathan thought that no matter what, Dior would not do such a thing. He thought that at least there was still affection between them, right?

—Which couple can stay at the bottom of the sea for 100 years and become vampires together?Was not such an experience to them a proof of common suffering?

And even though Dio seemed to hate him very much after revealing his true nature, even if she yelled "Go to hell JOJO" all day long, she didn't do anything to sneak up on him in the middle of the night to kill him.Jonathan thought that was enough, the relationship between them still had a place in Dior's heart, didn't it?

So in any case, Jonathan felt that Dior would do such a thing, which is really... shocking.

He thought they should have a good talk, but Dio grew impatient at the mere mention of it, and she refused to take it easy on him.Jonathan didn't think this would work, but before he could find the right moment, something even more shocking happened to him.

At the end of February 1987, Jonathan went to the United States to bring research materials to the SPW consortium.According to the unwritten agreement, Dior should be at home with Haruno during this time, but Jonathan, who finished work early and returned to Cairo, did not see Dior at home.

Chu Liuna, who is afraid of the dark, huddled under the quilt and bit her fingers. Dio didn't accompany her, and he didn't allow others to accompany her.Jonathan was so distressed that he hugged his daughter in his arms, kissed and coaxed her, and finally fell asleep.

He thought, he must have a showdown with Dior today.

It's just that everyone didn't know where Dio went. Only Dabi, who had just returned from playing cards, said that he seemed to see a woman who looked like Mr. Dio three streets away.

Jonathan searched for half an hour before finally finding Dio, and he also met Pucci, a pen pal who had been communicating with Dio.

When he entered the room, Dio was lying on the bed holding a book, while Pucci was sitting on the other side of the bed, as if he was writing something.The two were very surprised that an outsider came in. Jonathan's sudden intrusion undoubtedly interrupted their conversation, because Dio's lazy voice could be heard just a second before he opened the door with the key.

There was silence at the scene, Puqi was the first to speak vigilantly, "Who are you?"

Jonathan saw the double behind the man, but he just smiled politely, "Hello." He said, "I'm Dior's husband, and I'm here to find my wife."

Pucci glanced at Dio in surprise. Although Dio looked impatient, she did not deny it.Jonathan saw the expression of the young man in front of him gradually change from surprise to inquiry, and finally he came forward and shook hands with Jonathan, "Hi, my name is Puqi, and I came to Cairo to discuss something with DIO .”

"Jonathan Joestar." Jonathan nodded to Puqi.

Since Jonathan stepped into this room, he began to look around quietly.The bed was clean, and a certain distance was kept between Pucci and Dio. According to sister Xihua, Dio had been away for two hours. If something was going to happen, it must have happened or is happening. Jonathan thought of looking behind Pucci. It seems that they are really just discussing something.

"Then..." Pucci went to the other side to tidy up his open notebook, his eyes swept between Dio and Jonathan, "I think Mr. Joestar must be looking for something for Dio now, Maybe I shouldn't bother you, DIO, maybe we can talk about what we just said at another time?"

"Okay, okay!" Dio looked at Jonathan's expression that he would never leave, and threw away the book in his hand without interest, "But Pucci, please be sure to keep the content of our conversation a secret."

Pucci nodded, "Of course."

>>>

Pucci quickly packed up his things and left. Seeing the door was closed, Dio sat up from the bed.She scratched her hair, and asked Jonathan a little irritably, "So, Mr. Joestar came back from the United States early to find me, what's the matter?"

"You interrupted my conversation with my friend, do you know that?" Dio spread his hands in displeasure, "I invited him to Cairo, but within a few hours of meeting, you broke in!"

Only then did Jonathan speak, and he looked around the small room, "Why didn't you invite Mr. Pucci to your home, but choose a hotel outside?"

"Well..." Dio smirked, "Good question! Because I don't want others to know about me and Pucci. In fact, if you hadn't peeked at my letter, you wouldn't know about Pucci either."

"I didn't peek at your letter," Jonathan said. "I just came from home. You know Haruno is afraid of the dark, but why don't you find someone to accompany her?"

Dio twitched the corner of his mouth, "Just for this...?"

"This is just... one aspect." Jonathan walked up to her, "I think we need to have a good talk, Dio."

"What can I talk to you about?"

"You always resist like this, so no matter what the problem we can't solve it, we can't go on like this Dio, between us, between us and Kurino, between you and your 'friends', if you If these deformed relationships are not adjusted, the future will only get worse."

"Do you have to ask everything clearly? Isn't it good now? You are still alive, so you can do whatever you want. Why do you want to meddle in my business?" She stood up and stared at his face The eyes say, "You don't know anything, JOJO! You don't know what I've been through, you don't know how much I gained and how I lost them, you don't know how much humiliation I endured! We were never on the same level Come on, you and I have no way to speak clearly!"

"Then tell me. About the stone ghost face, about Granny Enya, about the substitute, about those people in the annex, about Joseph and the others... and what you have always wanted to do for so many years That thing! You know everything, but you don't even want to tell me a single truth."

"Why should I tell you? You don't know how much I hate the Joestar family, and the last thing I want to get involved with is you. You always put on a high-level pity JOJO, you pretend to be A perfect listener who can accommodate everything, but I don't need your sympathy!"

"...I never knew you thought so." Jonathan moved his hand hanging by his side, but he couldn't reach out to give Dio a hug, "I don't want to give you sympathy, Dio. I want You're telling the truth to me just because I want to share with you—"

"Obviously, I don't need you." There was no warmth in Dio's eyes, she grinned, "This is really a meaningless conversation, isn't it JOJO?"

Jonathan smiled wryly, "Maybe."

"So——" Dio spread his hands, "I think our conversation is over. Listen to me, JOJO, keep the status quo, it's good for everyone."

She brushed past him, ready to leave.

"I saw your diary."

Dio turned around, and a cold light dazzled Jonathan's eyes. He squinted his eyes uncomfortably. When he saw the situation in front of him again, Dio was holding a knife against his neck, and [the world] also appeared in his eyes. behind.

"After peeking at my letter, has the great Mr. Joestar finally started coveting other people's privacy openly?"

Had the blade gone any further, it would have touched the scar on Jonathan's neck.Even so, Jonathan didn't run away, and he didn't even release a double to protect himself.

"No." He said calmly, "Two years ago, you threw me with your diary, I don't know if you remember it. I glanced at it by accident at that time, and I only saw some words. "

"I didn't pay attention at that time, but later I saw them on the 'world' too. The unicorn, the spiral staircase, Giotto, the angel...you carved them on the 'world'."

Dio frowned, and Jonathan glimpsed out of the corner of his eye that the world had disappeared.He went on to say, "I think they are very familiar. I recalled them for a whole year, and I didn't recall them until a few months ago. They also appeared in a lullaby you once sang."

"Dior, I really don't know anything, but I know you know everything. From 1983 to 1984, I always felt that you still couldn't let go of your previous thoughts, but after seeing these words, I think that It should not be your ultimate goal. What you talked about with Mr. Pucci must be related to your ultimate goal, right?"

"You pointed to the sky and asked me what it was, you said you would surpass God, those obscure words you recorded specially, you traveled many places, I saw the places you marked with red circles on the map They all have special meanings... So I made a bold guess, I assumed that vampires are beings abandoned by heaven, so, are you looking for a way to enter heaven?" The corners of his mouth curled into a small arc, Disappeared soon, "Sometimes I even wonder if you have already experienced all this, so you know many things well. Maybe you were not what you are now, so you resisted me , resisting a reality different from what you remember."

Speaking of which, it's all Jonathan's assumptions.Dio knew this very well, as long as she denied it, he would have nothing to do with her.

Or she doesn't say anything at all—the world can be stopped for 5 seconds, and her knife is still on his neck. As long as she stops time and destroys his brain with the knife in her hand, then Jonathan Will say goodbye to her thoroughly.

But she didn't choose between those two options.

Under Jonathan's gaze, she twitched the corners of her mouth, then leaned over and said softly, "Didn't you guess everything?"

"That's right. I've been through it all, twice. I killed all of your Joestars, and the souls of 36 people paved the ladder for me. I entered heaven, and I became a being beyond heaven."

The seven years when he pretended to be a good boy in Joestar's house and put on a gentle mask, when he was cornered in the town of Gale Knight, when he was sleeping alone at the bottom of the sea for a hundred years, and when he cut off Joestar's blood on the streets of Cairo , he went to 28°24" north latitude" 80°36" west longitude to wait for the moment when the new moon came.

And, the day she opened her eyes at Brando's house and saw her mother again.

"Maybe I shouldn't call you stupid JOJO anymore. I can only guess all this from a few words, even if it's just a bold guess, I have to admit that you are amazing, JOJO." She looked at him, and his "Sure enough" was written on his face.

"You are indeed the only opponent I respect, JOJO. I am a little bit reluctant to kill you now." She said softly, but the blade in her hand was still firmly in place.

Jonathan suddenly smiled, "I'm sorry, but I want to make another bold guess." He said, "Dio, you didn't really want to kill me."

Dio's pupils shrank for a moment, and the knife in her hand pressed tightly against Jonathan's neck again.

Jonathan still had the same calm tone, "You are right, Dior. You are different from me. You have a certainty about the future. You have successful experiences before you. You are constantly learning from experience and changing at the same time. You have so many things. , but I..." He swallowed, "I know you won't treat Kurino badly, so it doesn't matter if you kill me now. All my friends, relatives, and their memories are left in the last century, I should have been dead long ago, I have nothing here."

"I have nothing to lose, but if I'm still alive, I don't want to lose you too." He looked her in the eyes and said, "You know. Dio, I've always loved you."

Sometimes when I love someone, the worst situation is that I didn't fall in love with the beautiful face you tried to present, but fell in love with your muddy heart.

Dior has lost countless times in the word "love",

Parent-child love; family love; human love.

After living her life again, after so many years, she has already forgotten what the word "love" really means.

However, at this moment, Jonathan said to her, "Dior, I have always loved you."

Jonathan opened his arms slightly, he wanted to give Dio a hug.

Dio took a step back, she didn't let Jonathan touch her body.

But she dropped the knife in her hand.
