[JOJO] Corinne's Wonderful Journey

"I met Dio a year and five months ago."

"While on my way to work, I learned that a vampire had appeared in many different countries, so I followed his traces and came to Cairo."

"In the process of searching for vampires, I met Granny Enya by accident, and became interested in the 'arrow' in her hand. When I borrowed the arrow from her to observe, I was stabbed by the arrow in my palm, and Granny Enya also Take the opportunity to leave... Now that I think about it, at that time, that old woman must have been wandering the streets of Cairo with an arrow in order to find someone with the qualifications of a stand-in messenger, and I happened to be hooked."

"The wound left by the 'arrow' healed soon after the arrow was pulled out, which made me feel that it was unusual. But on the first day, there was no abnormality around me. At that time, I didn't know the 'arrow' It would make a huge difference in me. Until the next night...Dio showed up."

"He appeared in the hotel room where I was staying and told me that I was selected by the Arrow and that I was a qualified person. He needed a talent like me very much, and asked if I would like to serve him."

"I've heard stories about Dio from my mother and Joseph, but at that time I didn't connect him with the vampire from 100 years ago in the story. He looked very young. Of course, vampires all look young, They don't age."

"I turned him down without a moment's hesitation, telling him he was a monster that didn't belong to this world, and I just wanted to see him destroyed. He laughed instead. There was something special about him...that made me realize , he may be more special than any other vampire I've ever seen."

"I was going to attack him with ripples, but at that time I saw a 'figure' appearing behind him. I have never seen such a 'human'. It has the shape of a human, but it looks like a special life form composed of machinery and humans At that moment, I was careless and was attacked by him first, seriously injured my abdomen."

"I know now, it's Dio's stand-in 'world'."

"Then Dio planted a granulation on my forehead. I almost regained my consciousness several times at the beginning. In order to increase the control over me, he repeatedly strengthened the granulation until I completely obeyed him. I obeyed his orders and worked for him. For him, to assist Granny Enya in cultivating and creating a new stand-in envoy, and for him to borrow the SPW consortium to obtain the information of 'superpowers' all over the world, and even for him... you all know this."

"For someone like me who needs granulation control to be loyal, Dio has never let me in touch with the real core secrets. I don't know anything about his substitute ability, and what plans and plans he has behind it."

After telling Joseph and the others about her experience of meeting Dio, Colleen described in detail her experience of encountering Dio's stand-in ability.

At the end she concluded: "I can't tell you how I feel in more detail. Or should I put it this way, when Dio used his double ability, I didn't realize when he used it, and I didn't even feel him. The process of the ability. For example, at the moment when the ability occurs, it seems that he is still in the middle of the room, but at the same time he is behind me. It probably feels like this."

"Maybe he controlled your consciousness? Made you forget about this period of time?" Joseph said after pondering for a while.

Kelin carefully recalled the details and shook her head.

"At that time, my consciousness was coherent, and the flickering light of the candle I saw did not stop or jump abnormally. I didn't think it was that simple."

"What about space transfer?" Abdel said, "I know there is such a substitute ability."

"It's not like." Colleen shook her head again, "I can do this myself."

Kelin showed Skittles and shot a ball of light not far away.

She snapped her fingers, and she disappeared from the spot, appearing in the place where the light ball was.

"Even you who are watching from the sidelines can clearly feel the situation of 'this person disappeared and appeared in another place'. But Dio's ability does not have such a sense of incongruity. He exists in my In front of me, and he exists behind me, these two states seem to exist at the same time. And the space transfer can't explain how his behavior of preventing me from committing suicide happened."

"..." Jotaro frowned.

"Damn it, I don't understand... In short, Dio's ability can kill a person without being detected, I understand that right?" Polnareff almost scratched his hair , and then gave up thinking.

"Everyone, now we are only 800 kilometers away from Cairo, and we have stepped into Dio's base camp. The next journey will be more dangerous, and the enemy will attack us from all directions. We will also face Dio soon, and we must not fight until we understand his abilities. Take it lightly."

Finally, it was Joseph who made the closing remarks for this fruitless discussion.

After finishing what she wanted to say, Kelin looked at them quietly with a smile on her lips.

Although they will be disturbed and confused, they still overcome their fear and choose to face the unknown fate seriously and firmly.

Once the granulation disturbed her, she refused to accept and understand them.

However, now she can clearly feel it.This is the right place for her.

"Colin, what are your plans next?"

After the discussion, Joseph asked Colleen about her plans.

"I'm going to Cairo with you." Colleen replied without thinking.

"You. You ran away from home for a year and a half. Lisa Lisa has been worried for a long time. You should go back to New York to see her first." Joseph reached out and rubbed her forehead vigorously.

"You can't drive me away, Joseph, even if you scare me with my mother's name." Colleen slapped his hand away unceremoniously.

"Really." Joseph didn't insist on her leaving, "but you can't mess around this way, or—"

"Otherwise what?" Corinne squinted at him.

"I'll tell you over and over again your performance during this time. Hehehe."

"?...!!!" Kelin was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Joseph meant.

She knew exactly what she had done during this period, and when she thought about it now, she felt a sense of embarrassment that the black history had been uncovered.

Kelin raised her hand to cover her ears: "I can't hear~ can't hear, can't hear."

"Actually, I don't have a good memory when I'm old. What did you say back then? Let me think about it, you were—Oh! No! Don't, don't shake me hard, I'm dizzy!"

"Joe, Se, Husband! If you dare to speak out, our brother-sister relationship will come to an end!"

Corinne called out the stand-in angrily, grabbed the old man by the neckline, and shook it back and forth like a champagne bottle at a celebration.

"Cheng, Jotaro, help me!" Joseph, in a daze, reached out to Jotaro beside him for help.

"I don't want it, think of a way by yourself." Jotaro ruthlessly rejected him.

"Oh! Nonononono—"

When Colin finally let go of Joseph, who was out of breath, she saw the rest of the people at the table staring at her.

She coughed: "That. I know, there was some unhappiness between us during this time. Although it was because of the granulation, it was something I did by myself after all. I am here to say sorry. Those dark past... ... things, don't take it to heart."

"Take it easy, Colleen." Joseph patted her on the shoulder. "Nobody here minds, right? Everyone."

Abdel and Polnareff glanced at each other.Abdel smiled lightly, and Polnareff followed suit.

Jotaro looked at her, and when his eyes met hers, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

Kelin looked back, she nodded, with a smile that couldn't be concealed.

"Ah."

Next, Kelin discussed the upcoming itinerary with the four of them for a while.

After the discussion, Kelin left the table, walked to the counter, and pulled the trembling Boingo out from under the counter. "I'm going back to Aswan first to see Dianming's injuries and see if I can cure him. By the way, send this kid back to his brother."

"Hmm... wait, you plan to go back alone?" Joseph asked.

"I have a car, don't worry that I can't catch up with you."

"That's enough. You are different from Kakyoin and Polnareff. You know a lot about Dio and Dio's subordinates, and you know where Dio is hiding. How can you be confident that you won't be attacked by people sent by Dio." Jotaro on the side took the conversation.

"You don't want a crow's mouth." Colleen glared at him, "Although I didn't have a chance to show it before, don't think that I won't fight because of this."

"Colin, Jotaro is right. You joined us, which means you have become Dio's enemy. It is too dangerous for you to act alone." Joseph said.

"I know. The old man who loves to worry." Kelin didn't reject their offer, she thought for a while and said, "Which one of you, please come back with me?"

Abdel looks at Polnareff, Polnareff looks at Jotaro, Jotaro looks at Joseph.Joseph looked left and right, and finally looked at Jotaro.

"Jotaro, go back to Aswan with Kelin, the three of us will wait for you in the next town first."

"Wait." Colleen blurted out.

"What's the problem?" Jotaro looked at her.

"..."

It can't be said that it's because she had evil thoughts about Jotaro just now, so the thought of getting along with him suddenly feels a little bit wrong, right?She suspected that if Joseph knew what she was thinking now, he would omit all the process and reasons and let the SPW consortium pack and airdrop her back to the United States.

"If you guys have wounds that haven't healed, you can tell me. My ripples can heal the wounds." Colleen took the topic away.

Jotaro didn't object, and Kelin didn't have any reason to refuse, so the matter was settled.

Kelin checked the situation of several people.Abdel's neck still bears the wounds he received in the desert when he fought the "God Geb" Ndor, and Polnareff also has several wounds left over from previous battles.She healed them with Ripple before saying goodbye to the three of them.

When she was about to leave, Kelin saw Izzy passing in front of her, so she squatted down and said to him, "You are Izzy, right? I'm Kelin. Thank you for stopping me just now, Izzy."

Izzy looked at her twice, gave her an indifferent ass, and walked away without looking back.

Kelin stood up, but when she turned around, she found Jotaro right behind her.He looked at where she and Iky were just now, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"What's wrong?" Colleen asked him.

"...It's nothing. Let's go." Jotaro looked away.

Before leaving, Polnareff pointed to Boingo and asked Kelin a question.

"I wanted to ask just now, what's going on with this timid brat?"

"He's 'God Toto'. Things go this way and that..."

After a while, Joseph and Polnareff uttered two shocked shouts.

"What?! The one who came to the hospital with us is the enemy pretending to be Jotaro?!" Joseph said.

"What?! That Jotaro in the car is a fake?!" Polnareff asked.

"Old man, you can even admit your own grandson's mistake, are you really my grandfather?" Jotaro said indifferently.

"But, that Jotaro also has the stunt of hiding five cigarettes in his mouth at the same time!" Polnareff said with disbelief on his face.

"This proves that there is more than one person in the world who can do such a boring thing." Colleen shrugged.

"Oh! MyGod! I was wrong!" Joseph was shocked.

"I'm sorry, Jotaro! That person looks too much like him!" Polnareff apologized to Jotaro.

Amid the chaos and commotion, Jotaro pressed the brim of his hat.

"That's enough."

After parting from Joseph and the others, Kelin dragged Poingo by the collar and walked with Jotaro to her overturned car.

"Dio probably only messed with the granulation when I was back in Cairo last time, and I didn't even notice it myself." Kelin said to Jotaro on the way, "It's not something to be concerned about."

After waiting for a while without a response, she looked back at him and found that he was looking at her without saying a word.

"What I said was weird?"

"No."

Kelin smiled at him and pointed to the car on the ground.

"Then let's flip the car over and hope it's not broken, or we'll have to sell our beauty and hitchhike on the side of the road."

After they checked the car and found that it was still usable, Kelin was in charge of driving Jotaro and Boingo back to the local hospital in Aswan where Kakyoin was located.

The first thing Kelin did was to send Boyingo to his brother Oyingo's ward.

By the way, Ke Lin gave them a tough attitude, telling them to recover from their injuries and stop working hard for Dio.

After that, Kelin found the doctor who was stationed in the hospital by the SPW Foundation, and after learning about Kakyoin's injury, she went to the ward where Kakyoin was located.

"Jotaro, don't talk later."

There were still about ten meters away from the ward, Kelin raised her index finger to Jotaro, and made a gesture around her mouth.

"...that's enough."

Jotaro looked at the door of the ward just in front of him, and understood her intentions.

He did not speak until Kelin pushed open the door of the ward.

As soon as Kelin pushed open the door, she saw Kakyoin sitting alone on the hospital bed with bandages wrapped around her eyes.

"Noriaki Kakyoin, you don't think that Dio-sama will let you go if you get injured and leave the team?"

Kakyoin immediately turned to Kelin's direction.

"This voice is...Miss Corinne?"

"I'm very happy that you recognize my voice?" Kelin laughed.

"Why did you come to my place? Could it be because Mr. Joestar and Jotaro have already—" Kakyoin asked eagerly.

"They are tripped by other stand-in envoys now, I just drop by you to complete Master Dio's confession."

"...Great." Kakyoin breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled, "Although it's not appropriate to say that, I'm glad you're safe and sound, Miss Kelin."

"What. I'm here to kill you, but you say this, do you want me to let you off as a patient?"

"I'm sorry, but I have no intention of sitting still. But..."

The emperor's green appeared next to Kakyoin, and he assumed a thinking posture.

"Mr. Joestar and the others are still alive, but you came to me. This matter itself is strange. What is the purpose of your coming here, Miss Kelin?"

Kelin held back for a long time, and finally laughed out loud at this moment.

Kakyoin showed a puzzled expression, but he immediately thought of something, and asked, "...Miss Kelin, have you...already recovered?"

"correct answer."

"Hmph." Jotaro, who watched the play silently, also smiled, "Are you okay, Kakyoin."

"Jotaro? You're here too? Seriously, you guys have colluded and planned to scare me from the moment I entered the door, right?" Kakyoin smiled after being surprised, "I have to say, I was really scared by you guys .”

"Sorry sorry. Let me see your injury."

Kelin smiled and came to the hospital bed of Kakyoin, and sat on the edge of the hospital bed.

She had learned from the doctor just now that the epidermis of the wound on Kakyoin's eye had healed, but it would take a while to heal completely.She gently pressed her fingers on Kakyoin's wound through the bandage, and carefully output ripple energy.

After a while, Kelin stood up and unwrapped the bandage for Kakyoin.

Kakyoin tried to open his eyes, but he blinked his already healthy eyes.

"Surprisingly, the doctor said my wound would take another five days to heal."

"The ripples can only speed up the healing of wounds that were originally hopeful to heal. Therefore, you can't be careless just because I can heal you." Kelin reminded.

Then Kelin and Kakyoin briefly talked about various things that happened recently, and seeing that he had indeed recovered, they planned to leave for a while.

"I'll make a phone call. During this time, you can complete the discharge procedures." Ke Lin said.

"Are you going to act alone again?" Jotaro looked over quickly.

"It's just downstairs." Kelin said, "Don't follow and eavesdrop."

"No one wants to do that." Jotaro said in disgust, and he immediately added, "Be aware of your surroundings."

"I know. I'll see you later." Kelin smiled, turned and walked out of the ward.

The public phones are set up on the first floor of the hospital, and Kelin managed to find them in the corner of the hall.

She dropped the coin and dialed the number leading to New York, USA.Joestar's housekeeper answered the phone, and she asked him to transfer to Mother's extension.After reporting her safety to her mother and being lectured by her mother seriously, Kelin assured her that she would act carefully in the future.

"I'll take good care of Joseph as well. Don't worry, Mom."

While Kelin answered her mother, she also paid attention to the surrounding environment.

Soon she noticed someone approaching her.

The other party was a young man in his twenties, with a muscular build, holding a retro long knife in his right hand and a black scabbard in his left, with murderous looks in his eyes that were undisguised.He parted from the panicked crowd and walked straight to Colleen.

Kelin immediately excused that Jotaro was looking for her, said goodbye to her mother, and then gently put down the phone.

Although she also expected to be attacked, she didn't expect it to be so soon. She thought she would at least wait until they left the hospital.

Colleen asked the visitor: "Which one are you? We haven't seen each other before?"

"I am the stand-in messenger of the 'God Anubis'. I will take the life of you, a traitor, for Master Dio first, and then it will be the turn of Jotaro and Kakyoin upstairs."

After the other party finished speaking, he stopped talking nonsense and chopped off with a knife.

The sharp blade slashed towards Kelin, and Kelin quickly retreated to avoid it, and circled behind a nearby pillar.The direction of Anubis's blade turned accordingly, and the blade directly penetrated the pillar as if cutting into the air, chasing after Kelin.

Kelin threw a ball of light into the sky, and after snapping her fingers, she appeared in midair.She let the stand-in climb the pillar, and she hooked the stand-in's calf with her toes, and quickly hung down from above.

Taking advantage of his own figure disappearing from God Anubis' eyes, the other party went around to look for the gap behind the pillar with his back to her, and slammed his temples on both sides with both hands, sending ripples into the other party's head.

The other party shook, and immediately fainted to the ground, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground.

Colleen jumped back to the ground and kicked the man who claimed to be the god Anubis.Seeing that the other party was silent, he also relaxed.

"It's too easy?" she muttered.

At this time, the security guards from the hospital rushed over and asked Kelin why she was causing trouble in the hospital.

Kelin looked left and right, and when she was about to find a chance to escape, a security guard picked up the long knife that fell on the ground.The moment he picked it up, the security guard's expression changed immediately.

"It's me. It's me, the god Anubis. Don't you think you've solved me?"

The security guard grinned.

Therefore, that knife is the opponent's body.Was it just the controlled person who was knocked out by her?

Seeing more and more people around, Kelin took a step back, found a gap, and ran out of the gate.

God Anubis, who controlled the body of the security guard, also quickly chased after him. He chased so closely that the blade almost cut Ke Lin's back several times.

Running and seeing the sign of the underground parking lot, Kelin thought about it, turned around suddenly, and ran there.
