98 Chapter 98
"It's nothing, but since I happened to meet again, I'll stop by to say hello."
Kurolo's smile was very charming, and to be honest, he was indeed a young man with outstanding looks and temperament. After he sat down, even if no one called for service, the waitress who kept throwing white eyes because Jona had only ordered a glass of lemonade took the initiative to pour him a glass of water, and her face was slightly red from shyness.
"Oh, then, I thought you were trying to get revenge on me." Jona didn't look up, wondering if she was missing something important, and continued to add a sentence to her letterhead.
"How come, I'm grateful for what Jona did for me."
Kurolo didn't smile a little, but Jona didn't care about him, folded the letter paper on her own, and chatted with him casually, "It's nothing, it's just a gesture." Who won the duel between you and that clown just now? ”
"Our prerequisite is not to die." He seemed to be in a good mood and his expression was very satisfied, "So I won." ”
"Congratulations." Jona gave him a cool look, "At least you're more normal than that crazy perverted clown, do you still want to steal my abilities this time?" ”
"I take it as a compliment, of course not, it doesn't make sense to repeat the same thing twice." He turned the cup slightly, smiling, and looked a little curious about what Jona was doing, "Speaking of which, I just saw your letter, the text on it is very special, what are you writing?" ”
"Suicide note." Joanna replied expressionlessly, "If you're going to ask why, all I can tell you is that I'm going to die." ”
"yes, that's a shame." Kurolo was slightly surprised for a moment, but he didn't show suspicion, he showed a regretful expression, but his tone was as calm as if he was talking to someone about today's dinner, "I originally wanted to invite you to go to the Dark Continent together, but since that's the case, there's no way." ”
"Trust me, I don't have that time." Jona lowered her head and went about her business, she finally finished the envelope and began to sort out the delivery order. By this time, Aaron had also returned from the bathroom. It's just that he doesn't look good, and the whole person is a little haggard due to melancholy.
"I'm fine...... jojo。 Aaron dragged his body back to Jona's side, and after seeing Kurolo sitting opposite, he showed a slightly surprised expression, "Huh? Isn't this the ...... in the arena just now? ”
"Kurolo." Kurolo held out his hand to Aaron in a friendly manner, and if he didn't know what kind of guy he was, he looked really sincere.
"Ah...... Hello Mr. Kurolo, I'm Aaron. Aaron wandered for a moment, then reached out and shook Kurolo's hand,
"Boyfriend?" Kurolo looked at him with interest.
"Huh?! No, it's not ......"
Aaron, who was honest, was stunned, and his face turned red instantly after reacting, he secretly glanced at Jona, and hurriedly shook his head to deny it.
"It has nothing to do with you, and there's nothing you want here." Jona interrupted them, looked up at Kurolo and said, "If it's okay, let's disappear quickly." ”
"Well, I'm not interested in dying people anymore."
Kurolo said as he took a bill from his jacket pocket, pressed it under the glass, and got up to leave his seat, "Count me, if you want something, you can do it." ”
“…… Wait a minute. Joanna called out to Kurolo and stared straight at him from the back.
“…… Why do you believe what I say without asking anything? She hesitated for a moment, "You don't seem to be the type to simply give up. ”
"Ah, that's the problem." Kurolo stopped, he suddenly laughed softly, then turned his head, looked at Jona leisurely and said, "Your eyes are not deceiving, your eyes are full of the despair of the dying man I have seen before." ”
"............" Jona's eyes suddenly widened slightly, and in Aaron's stunned gaze, it seemed to be still in her throat, unable to make a sound. She looked at Kurolo in some amazement, but the other man just smiled and waved at her, turned and left the café without looking back.
For a moment, neither of the two spoke quietly.
“jojo…… Are all those things you said before lying to me? ”
After a long time, Aaron couldn't help but speak. His body trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of grief and resentment, "You are obviously scared, but you still have to act like nothing happened......"
Jona avoided his gaze and denied it, "That guy is a bastard, don't pay attention to what he says." ”
"How could I not care!" Aaron raised his voice suddenly, "Comfort me so you want me to feel better?" ”
"......" Jona was silent for a moment, then she looked directly into Aaron's eyes and sighed softly.
"It's more like comforting yourself than comforting you." Compared with Aaron's loss of control, she was extraordinarily calm and said, "I am only 16 years old, I still have a lot of regrets in my life, of course I am not reconciled, no one is willing to die, but more important than my own life, what I want more is to protect the people I love, so that my death is also valuable, I hope you can understand, Aaron." ”
"I understand......" Aaron lowered his head and clenched his fists in pain, "but I still can't accept it, if Hades is going to be able to resurrect everyone......
"You must not think like that!" Jona sternly stopped, "If Hades awakens, it means the beginning of the holy war, the earth will fall into darkness, and more people will die, then there will be no point in my efforts to bring you back to this era, hold on to yourself!" You're Aaron! You and I agreed! ”
"I ......" Aaron looked so hard he couldn't say a word. Jona didn't force him, and ordered the waiter to bring a dessert for Aaron, while she looked out the window and began to be in a daze. In the last moments of my life, I suddenly felt very empty, and there were many things I wanted to do, but it was too late.
“…… Forget it, I'll take you for a walk. ”
Jona sighed and settled the bill with the waiter with the money Kurolo had left.
Although Asakura was entrusted to bring Aaron to Athena, the Sanctuary could better protect him from the interference of the Hades Warriors, but after all, he had come here more than two hundred years ago, and Jona felt the need to introduce Aaron to this era, so that he could better adapt to it, so she took him on a tour of the shopping street.
It's just that Aaron has been in a casual state, even if he sees something new, he only shows a slightly surprised expression, and he can't bear the burden of the changes around him at all. In the end, Jona saw that he was not interested in anything, so she took Aaron to the park and sat down on a bench.
"Hmm...... We're just waiting here. Joanna stretched and pretended to be relaxed, "If he arrives in time, I can read my suicide note to him." ”
"......" Aaron moved his lips, and he looked at Jona in a daze, not as if he didn't think it was a funny joke.
"Don't show that expression, you think I've done so many amazing things, and I'll be able to go to heaven when I die." Jona laughed, she reached out and touched Aaron's hair, and looked at Aaron gently, but suddenly, her nerves suddenly tensed, as if instinctively sensing the danger coming, she subconsciously blocked Aaron behind her, and released her stand-in, the daughter of the green forest.
From in front of them, a clown came silently.
"Oh, I didn't expect to meet unexpected guests here~"
The strange trills were still so memorable, Jona's instinct was already one step faster, and she stared at the other party warily, but Hisoka saw that she had put away the playing cards in her hand and grinned a strange grin.
"But it's just right, help me treat it first, and then I was calculated by Kurolo~ I almost died~."
"Huh?" Joanna was stunned, and looked at Hisoka a little strangely, he was completely intact, and even his clothes were not stained with a trace of dust, "Are you injured?" But how do you know what I'm capable of? ”
And didn't Kurolo say that he had already killed him...... Why is he here?
"I'm very well informed, and I heard about you helping Kulolo get rid of his thoughts." Sisoka stood cross-legged, he slowly tore a layer of something from his face, the intact lower layer of the epidermis became tattered, after seeing the mutilated nose on Hisoka's exposed face, Jona suddenly took a breath of cold air, Aaron couldn't help but cover his mouth, and couldn't help retching.
"The treatment fee will give you 100 million rings." Hisoka's smile was particularly hideous on the broken face, "Save time, I'm a little busy, let's start quickly." ”
His attitude was as if refusing would kill you, Joanna looked at Hisoka in silence for a moment, closed her eyes slightly and said, "The money here is of little use, but if you can promise not to attack us, I can treat you." ”
"Don't worry, I'm not aiming at you." Hisoka's answer was very crisp, "I'm hunting the Phantom Brigade. ”
"Well, after the treatment, you are not allowed to stay, and leave here immediately." Jona stared at Hisoka with all seriousness, "Or I'll kill you, too." ”
"Deal." Hisoka put away the playing cards he was holding, and at the same time tore off the "thin illusion" covering his body.
“jojo……”
Aaron was shocked by what he saw, a completely tattered body that had been blown up by something, and it was a miracle that he was standing here alive. Aaron called out to Jona worriedly, and Jona motioned for him not to worry and stepped forward to treat Hisoka.
After more than a minute, Hisoka's severed limbs and mutilated face were restored to their original state, and he moved his body as if in some incredulity, and then showed a very satisfied expression.
"Awesome...... The limbs have all grown out, and even the broken nerves have been reconnected, which is really a very convenient ability, hum hum...... No wonder Kurolo wants to ...... so much"
Aaron stared at this perverted clown in a cold sweat, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to change his mood again, showing a regretful expression, "It's a pity that the spider has left, forget it, it's okay, there is still a chance...... They haven't gone far yet......"
"What is he talking about......" Aaron took Rajoona's hand in fear.
"I don't know, ignore this pervert." Jona comforted Aaron and watched Hisoka, who had kept his promise, leave, until he was gone, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but at this moment, Jona suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest.
“jojo……?”
It felt like it was burning from the chest...... Jona opened her mouth, and it became difficult to breathe, and the feeling of all her strength being drained seemed as if it was just a moment, and she suddenly understood something, her time had come......
I didn't expect it to be so fast......
It hurts a little......
“jojo?! jojo! What's wrong with you!! ”
Aaron held Jona's fallen body in horror and shouted her name, "Anyone?!" Can someone help us?! ”
"You know it's useless......"
Jona shook her head to stop Aaron, and she struggled to raise her head and look at the blurred figure in front of her with eyes that could no longer focus.
"Looks like we have to say goodbye...... Aaron. ”
“jojo! No! It shouldn't be that fast! Please...... Open your eyes! ”
Aaron watched Jona's weakness, her bright eyes gradually lost their brilliance, and her life disappeared little by little before his eyes, but he couldn't change anything.
"Don't be sad, I'm just one step ahead of others......" Joanna couldn't see anything anymore, she felt her body getting cold, she reached out to touch Aaron's face to comfort the teenager, but she couldn't touch it. Aaron's tears could not be stopped, and large drops fell on Jona's face, and he grabbed Jona's hand in pain and pressed it against his face.
"I'm here...... Please...... Don't leave me alone......"
"Someone will be with you in the future." Jona said angrily, giving Aaron a difficult smile.
Is that what death feels like......
"Goodbye, Aaron...... Say hello to Ah Hao for me......"
Then Jona's breathing stopped, she closed her eyes forever, and the hand that was on Aaron's face fell to the ground. 166 Reading Network
