stand-in creed

As soon as he walked in the door, he saw Joseph with a serious face and no playful smile like he used to. He made a "quiet" gesture to the two people who appeared at the door, and immediately continued to communicate with the other end of the phone.

As for Joseph, there was a smashed camera.

The hand that had been replaced by the prosthetic held a photo of a blond young man lying on a hospital bed in a cramped ambulance.

It was the first time Jotaro saw such a serious expression on Joseph's face.

Even more serious than when I told him about Dior in Japan.

Jotaro looked at Kakyoin and Abdel in the room, cast doubtful eyes, but saw that the two also showed helpless expressions.

"...how is the specific situation? How is the injury?"

"...That's good, what about Dio?"

"...That's it."

"...We rushed over immediately, and he will be handed over to you before then."

pat.

Joseph put down the phone.

Immediately, the serious-looking old man looked at several other people in the room: "The investigators of the SPW consortium stationed in Cairo sent regular contact and got some important information."

"Cairo? That's not Dior's..."

"All in all, pack your luggage and get on the bus first, and let's talk about rest in the car. Everyone takes turns to rest and drive, and rush to "Suez" as soon as possible. "

After a few minutes.

The five people who rented an off-road vehicle drove onto the road and headed straight for the border towards the Suez province of Egypt.

After getting into the car, Joseph said.

"The investigators who were not from the SPW consortium discovered that there was a "mysterious stand-in messenger" fighting with Dior's subordinates in Alexandria. Was the commotion particularly loud? 10 minutes ago, investigators reported that the mysterious stand-in messenger had appeared in Cairo. "

"Cairo?! That's not Dior's..."

Polnareff immediately exclaimed, and the other three also stared wide-eyed.

What Joseph said next shocked them even more.

"That kid first killed the substitute envoy with "temperance" in Cairo, and then made a big fuss in Dior's mansion, and killed a bird and two other unidentified substitute envoys.

"After that, he fought another battle with Dior, smashing the entire block to pieces, and finally both sides were injured. The person in charge of the scene in Cairo immediately rescued the kid, and now he has left Cairo and is heading towards Suez. Meet us."

Having said that, a smile appeared on Joseph's face.

Several people only heard Joseph muttering.

"Really, as expected of that guy's grandson..."

"That guy?" Kakyoin was a little puzzled.

"Cesar A. Qibelin, my best friend in that battle 50 years ago, unfortunately he died in the battle with Wamuu. And it was he who appeared in the battle between Cairo and Dior Grandson of Nero A. Zeppelin.

"I can't mistake this face, it's exactly the same as that of Caesar back then, it's definitely that guy's grandson!

"I didn't expect him to have descendants alive..."

Since the war 50 years ago was during the Second World War, the underdeveloped communication was even more inconvenient due to the war.In such an environment, Joseph had no way of knowing that Caesar had a posthumous child, and naturally he did not know the existence of Nero's family.

Even due to poor communication, there are more than one tombstones dedicated to Caesar in Italy.

The tomb of Caesar in the Roman Cemetery is a tomb set up by Nero's grandmother, and Joseph recovered Caesar's body after the war and buried it in his hometown of Genoa.

"Both are hurt...does it mean that Dio is injured? How is Dio?!"

Compared with the old man's past, Polnareff is more concerned about the enemies he needs to face now.

Joseph said: "According to the information, Dio suffered a terrible ripple attack, and his body was broken. In order to prevent the ripples from swallowing him further, he used a vampire technique to lock himself in the ice, even There was not even room to give Nero the final blow.

"The investigators of the SPW consortium originally wanted to take the opportunity to shoot Dio with hot weapons, but unfortunately Dio's subordinates also arrived at the scene at about the same time and rescued Dio."

"That Dior was injured so badly?!"

Abdel, who had faced Dior before but couldn't raise the slightest fighting spirit, just ran away, couldn't believe it.

Joseph didn't speak, just holding the steering wheel and looking ahead of the road.

The gas pedal is crushed to death.

All the way west.

Chapter 31 Anubis God One

12 month 1 day.

48 hours have passed since the battle between Nero and Dior.

In the ward lingering with the smell of disinfectant, Nero, with a hanging bottle in his right hand, gradually opened his eyes from his lethargy, and the pain caused by the penetrating wound in his chest made the 15-year-old boy frown.

"Are you awake?"

The muscular doctor beside the bed said in surprise.

And when Nero tried to sit up, the doctor hurried over to stop him.

"Mr. Qibelin, your injury is still not healed, please rest well and don't move around."

"……Um."

Nero nodded slightly.

After looking around at the unfamiliar ward, Nero asked again.

"Where is this place? Who sent me to the hospital?"

"I am a doctor of the SPW consortium. This is a hospital in the "Suez Province" of Egypt that we have some business dealings with. We temporarily borrowed the ward of this hospital. "

"SPW Consortium... Joseph Joestar?"

Nero remembered the information given by Hall Hess.

The doctor nodded too.

"In addition to Mr. Joestar fighting, our SPW consortium has also sent investigators all over Egypt, and in order to deal with various emergencies, we have the most elite medical team on standby at any time.

"After the great battle in Cairo, the local officials decided that you were a "powerful ally" who could help Mr. Joestar, and mobilized the nearest medical team to provide you with treatment.And now, Mr. Joestar and the others are also on their way here. "

"...Where's Dio?"

"He was rescued. Dior has a lot of influence in Cairo. Apart from those people in the mansion, there are also some hidden "non-substitute messengers" who provide services for him.Although those people are not a threat to combat power, our investigators also have no substitute ability, so even if they want to take the opportunity to give the final blow..."

There was a look of regret on the doctor's face.

There is no doubt that the employees of the SPW consortium blamed themselves for not giving Dior the fatal blow while it was in the freezer.

Nero, however, laughed.

"Dare to go deep into Egypt without the ability to stand in, and even go deep into Cairo, Dior's stronghold, to conduct investigations. It is undoubtedly an act full of "courage".Not only that, but you even risked your exposure to rescue me, and you have done a good job. "

"……thanks."

"No, I should be the one to thank, thank you for saving my life."

Although he was extremely regretful that he could not get rid of Dio, Nero was confident that he would be able to get rid of that vampire the next time he saw Dio.

But suddenly, Nero remembered something.

"By the way, where's the knife?!"

"Is it this knife?"

The sturdy doctor took out a knife from a nearby cabinet.

It was an exquisite Egyptian machete with a bit of a Japanese sword shadow.

The blade is slender.

The scabbard is exquisite.

The golden sword was set with costly rubies.

Rather than a weapon, this Egyptian scimitar is clearly more suitable to be admired in a study or museum...wait for it!

Nero suddenly remembered.

"I picked up this knife by your side. I don't know why, none of us can pull out this knife. There must be some kind of mechanism - after all, this is Dio's weapon..."

"Put down this knife!"

"Hey?"

"This knife is a stand-in---!!!"

"Hey hey hey hey?!"

The doctor was startled, and hurriedly threw the Egyptian scimitar in his hand on the bedside table, and stepped back ten steps cautiously.

And Nero stared at the knife in front of him.

"Stop playing dead, Kobold.

"Did you forget that I saw you when Dio took you out!"

When Nero spoke, the Stairway to Heaven appeared beside him and touched the curtain.

Whoa!

The curtain instantly danced a lion dance like a dancer, directly wrapping the knife in the pure white curtain.

At the moment when the Egyptian scimitar was wrapped, the figure of a black kobold appeared in front of Nero.

"Wait, wait, Master Nero!

"I'm not hiding it! I'm just watching you and the doctor talking, it's not convenient to disturb you, don't do it!"

God Anubis showed a flustered expression.

Nero and the doctor exchanged winks, and the doctor who knew the existence of the substitute immediately exited the ward knowingly, and closed the door, leaving room for Nero and the knife—although in the eyes of the doctor, Nero was just Talking to the air.

"What did you call me?"

"Ne, Master Nero?"

"Aren't you Dio's subordinate?"

"I betrayed!"

Anubis said confidently.

Immediately, he showed a flattering look, rubbed his little hands and flattered Nero.

"I am a substitute who holds the god of the underworld "Anubis God". The main body is a swordsmith 500 years ago, and he died long ago!But I don’t know why, but I survived and lived in this scimitar made of the main body in the shape of a Japanese samurai sword. "

"Huh?"

Nero looked the knife up and down.

It was the first time he saw something that could be so confident after being betrayed—is it because it is no longer a human being, and has no human thoughts?

But no matter how you look at it, the kobold in front of him doesn't look like he's turning his back on the dark side. His eyes don't have the slightest sense of consciousness at all.The flattering appearance is exactly the same as those traitors in the anti-Japanese drama.

and many more.

If that's the case, wouldn't I have become an imperial army?

Red Deer Yelang!

"Why did you betray?"

"In that battle, I saw your awareness and your spirit that shines like gold! I hope to be a sharp blade in the hands of a young hero like you, rather than a mere vampire's collection!

"Only people like you are worthy of the loyalty of my god Anubis!"

Anubis said righteously.

However, in fact, the god Anubis thought so.

'I am a substitute who holds the hint of the god of the underworld "Anubis", a demon sword that can control people's hearts!

'And there is only one person to whom I can serve wholeheartedly, and that is Lord Dior!Not you, the brat who hurt Lord Dio just because of a little luck!

'Although, I really want to manipulate the SPW Foundation doctor in the ambulance to kill you at that time!But now Dio-sama is seriously injured, rather than disposing of you, it is more important to dispose of "Jostar" who is about to arrive in Cairo and to Dio-sama's side!
