Chapter 12 - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea 02
Helpless girl, she screamed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Even so, no one will come to save her, she will die, there is no doubt about it. Weak, she had no strength, fragile like foam, shattering at the touch, not lucky, and no hero to save beautyβshe had never expected anything like that, she just stabbed the knife into the man's chest, and then pulled down his purse and clothes.
She stared at the broken mirror, and the long blond hair inside was so dazzling.
That day she realized that this was not a peaceful world, and she never had long hair from that day onwards, and after that day she had learned to use her strength to blackmail those who were weaker than herself.
She's just come to life, it's incredible, she thinks so herself.
Eventually, her father fell ill and died. Because of alcoholism, smoking, staying up late for a long time, and never exercising, the body finally collapsed in the overdraft. There would be no funeral, because there was no money, so she held a gun to the son of the owner of the coffin shop, made him steal a coffin, put his biological father's body in it, dug a hole in Nozuka, threw the last thing that was 'related to herself' into the coffin, closed the lid, and threw it into the underworld.
You're finally dead, you shit.
She mocked the man mercilessly, as if she were mocking herself.
Her biological father 'taught' her how to steal, how to threaten tourists to hand over their property, how to dig out useful things out of the garbage heap, and taught her how to torture people. She also completely abandoned her former morals and ideas in her short life, and lived, yes, this is the most important thing. Soon, she left these things behind completely.
I'm not the protagonist, and I'm not a time-traveler, I want to live, live better.
β......β
She woke up.
She can remember the previous 'dream', so clear, there is nothing left. The girl is always aware of this in her dreams and habitually writes it down before waking up. The girl who woke up found herself still in the cabin of the Queen Bailey, and she exhaled and summoned the Book of DIO, which recorded her experiences in the past four years, as if someone was recording it, but not before she got the "Book of DIO".
Make a note of it.
Thinking so, she pulled the pen out of her backpack and began to write down the book, but as soon as she put pen to paper, she felt an indescribable discomfort, and soon she decided to give up and throw the pen back in her backpack.
DIO's book, closed.
That's right, from the beginning of this book, I am Dior, and everything before is not important.
She glanced at the head of the bed, where her beret was neatly placed, looking as if it had been washed.
"Ah, you're awake. β
The little girl with azure hair climbed the stairs to the cabin.
Yuru Δapek, this little girl who seems to be the same kind of person as Dior. Dio thought so at first, but after meeting Old York, she understood that Yuru could only be considered a 'soldier' at best, and that the Hunters still had a few consciences like the people in the army, and they would choose to help civilians and protect the safety of the people - if it were normal.
The little girl knew what would happen if her invention fell into the hands of the Skeleton Society. It is for this reason that she may provoke a world war, and it is for this reason that she is forced to become 'cold'.
"Where?" asked Dio, after a pause.
"Liverpool, it's anchored for now, and your mission is done. β
The girl sighed and sat down next to Dior's bed.
"Old York didn't tell you who you are. She said absentmindedly.
"I know. β
It's better to say that Dio doesn't care if Old York reveals her 'identity' at all, there is no such thing as a 'vampire who can walk in the sun' in this world, in fact, she hasn't told anyone that she has a vampire physique, whether she is human or not, it is impossible to find out.
"What are you going to do next?" Yuru glanced at her.
"Go to London, I have a property there that I can live in and pack up. β
"Really, are you interested in the Hunter Division?"
Dio carefully observed Yuru's expression, and she could see a little expectation.
"Very interested. β
Dio said this with a rare smile.
"Ahh So, would you like to be a mercenary in the Hunters' Department?"
"Of course. β
"That's... Old York will talk to you later..."
The girl spoke, saying goodbye, and although Dio saw that she had something else to say, he didn't hold back.
Yuru didn't ask her about the location of the property, and there were no extra words, compared to just polite words, maybe for the Hunter Department, she was indeed a decent combat force?
Next, as long as she takes advantage of her credit for saving Yuru, the Hunter Department will also trust her, so as to get close to the Queen of England, she can climb to the top of the world in one fell swoop!
It's weird.
Instead of thinking about that kind of thing, Dior is still ready to take over his own property first, it is not a bad thing to be able to climb a lot of relationships, and she has no interest in ruling the world or anything.
Whether it's rain, whether it's the sixteenth night moon, or whether it's old York, it's just a passerby in life. There is only one way for her to go, and that is to ascend to the Summit, where anyone who hears her name will be terrified, and no one will dare to take advantage of her easily.
To put it bluntly, it's just because she's timid, she laughs self-deprecatingly, and timid people seek such 'peace of mind'.
ββββ
Old York sat across from her, and a space was cleared in the middle of the room, a spacious room belonging to the Hunters' Department's submarine "Carlibar", and when Old York saw her, he nodded slightly, and then began to ask:
"What's your name?"
"Dio Connor Brando. β
The girl replied.
"Do you think you're special?"
Is this the kind of question that came up in the first place? She frowned slightly, but did not hesitate, and immediately replied:
"It's not. β
That's right, she doesn't have anything special, just one of more than a billion people in the world, and it's not her who is special, it's "DIO", she doesn't think she has anything special in the world, that's why she wants to seek 'peace of mind'.
β... Have you ever seen a ghost or a demon or anything like that?"
"Nope. β
Not beat around the bush.
"Are you religious?"
"Nope. β
"Do you believe that there is anything like a god in the world?"
"Who knows, maybe there is, maybe not, does it matter?" Dior frowned slightly.
"It's very important, just answer truthfully. β
Old York said this, but she didn't record it, Dio only felt like she was chatting normally, she still nodded, and motioned for Old York to continue.
"So, do you have any production experience?"
"Nope. β
As if he was deliberately provoking her, Dio felt this way, but she didn't care too much and replied casually.
"Do you have a lover?"
"Nope. β
"Do you have a man you admire?"
"Nope. β
"What about women?"
"Nope. β
"No, it's really pitiful. β
I have to say, it worked, Dio was already angry, her face showed a fierce light, staring at the old man in front of her, and that look seemed to screw off Old York's head on the spot as long as an explanation was unreasonable.
"We're all wretched creatures like you," said old York, "no religion, no relatives, no lovers, no home. We only need people like that, after all, they are things that can die at any time and even the body cannot be recovered. β
"I haven't heard of such strict management in the Hunter Department," Dior looked away dissatisfied, "just ask a few questions to find out the truth?"
"You don't have to worry about that. β
