LAST NIGHT, JOJO RETURNED TO HIS HOME FROM THE CONSTRUCTION SITE AFTER A DAY'S WORK.

He holds two hot dogs bought from the street in his left hand and a beer in his right hand for his dinner.

"Wow!" JOJO TOOK A SIP OF BEER AND SHOOK WITH EXCITEMENT, "THE BEER AFTER THE HARD WORK IS REALLY REFRESHING!" ”

(Getting to the point!) Getting to the point! Galadia stamped her feet on the side, skipping the dinner thing! ）

JOJO, who was walking and eating, turned around a street corner, and a faint smell of blood wafted from the dark and deep alley.

"Brawls and fights?" JOJO GLANCED DOWN THE DARK ALLEY.

It was not only the smell of blood that flowed from the shadows, but also the touch of dampness and decay, and the whispers that had never been experienced before, but which inexplicably felt familiar.

This whisper echoed in my ears, as if calling JOJO to walk into the darkness.

"Cut~ What's going on? It feels slimy, like sweat mixed with concrete on my body. JOJO COULDN'T HELP BUT REACH OUT AND WIPE HIS NECK.

The palms of my hands are wet, what's going on.

JOJO LOOKED AT HIS PALMS BY THE FAINT LIGHT OF THE STREET LAMP, AND SAW THAT HIS PALMS WERE FULL OF WATER STAINS.

"Huh?! Where does the water come from? JOJO TOUCHED THE NECK AND BACK AGAIN, SNIFFING IT IN FRONT OF HIS NOSE.

Sweat? Is this my Khan?

It's a cool autumn day, why am I sweating?

With this thought, JOJO suddenly felt a strange discomfort, and he calmed down and experienced the feeling with his own body.

Cold sweat? I'm in a cold sweat all over? For some unknown reason, I was in a cold sweat on a cool night! Isn't this a sign of fear like a frog being targeted by a snake?!

JOJO, who has a sense of justice and has always stepped forward, involuntarily moved backwards.

Wrong! Something is wrong! There's something indescribable but terrifying in this alley! My JOJO's keen sixth sense senses sensed fear and told me with my body's reaction!

Get out of here.

Something is coming out of it, I'm going to get out of here!

JOJO SWALLOWED A MOUTHFUL OF SALIVA AND TURNED TO FLEE THE SCENE.

In the darkness, there was the sound of footsteps from far and near, and a tall man was faintly walking out of the alley. The man's gait was somewhat floating, and he was wearing a black coat with a collar that covered his face. The uncle walks crookedly like a drunken drunk, and people worry that he will twist his ankle at any moment.

"Ahh It's just a drunken stinky uncle! JOJO WIPED THE SWEAT FROM HIS FOREHEAD: "WOOHOO! ~ Scared the hell out of me. Uncle, what are you doing in that hell place! It's scared to death! Even though I'm a big man, I'm still scared, okay? ”

THE DRUNKEN UNCLE STOOD AND STAGGERED UNDER THE STREET LAMP NOT FAR AWAY, AS IF LOOKING AT JOJO. The uncle was wearing a black trench coat and a black beanie, and his face was completely unclear.

"Hey! Even if you're drunk, you can't sleep on the street! If you're going to get sick, uncle, hurry home. JOJO shouted at the uncle, "Ah~hey~ Did the uncle hear that? Go back soon! ”

Really...... Already drunk stupid? Go help him.

JOJO COMPLAINED AS HE MOVED HIS STEPS TOWARDS THE UNCLE.

……

What's going on! JOJO LOOKED AT HIS FEET IN SHOCK.

Why? Why did I take a step backwards! Am I drinking too much?

JOJO, who was about to walk forward to support his uncle, involuntarily took a step back!

The body moves on its own!

JOJO WAS STARTLED, AND BEFORE HE COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON, THE STRANGE SENSE OF INCONGRUITY JUST NOW PERMEATED HIS WHOLE BODY.

Just a short time ago, JOJO's sixth sense, which was already a crazy warning, was suddenly blocked, as if it had been stripped from his soul.

However, as his feet involuntarily retreated, JOJO's sixth sense came out again!

What happened just now, although I don't know what it is, but the moment this uncle appeared, something blinded my perception.

Like a small fish that has been tempted by a ball of light into a bloody mouth, my JOJO spirit was indeed confused by something in that moment.

If it weren't for my body's involuntary reaction, I would have been in danger.

JOJO, WHO UNDERSTOOD THAT HE HAD COME OVER, WAS JUST ABOUT TO RUN AWAY, BUT THE UNCLE IN THE DISTANCE SUDDENLY POUNCED AND ARRIVED IN FRONT OF JOJO IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE.

What the! JOJO ALMOST SUBCONSCIOUSLY MADE A MOVE, LUNGING TO THE LEFT, ALMOST GRAZING THE RIGHT HAND OF THE STRANGE MAN IN FRONT OF HIM AND DODGING.

The thick coat was almost torn into strips of cloth after just being rubbed, and the strange man's right hand struck a wave of air, and he would be injured if he was affected.

"What kind of power is this!" JOJO CRAWLED TO THE SIDE. Although the strange man looks burly and slow, his movements are as fast as lightning, and he approaches JoJo's side in the blink of an eye.

Worst! JOJO'S EARS WERE FILLED WITH THE SOUND OF THE WIND, AND THE TOUGH AND TERRIBLE GUY WAS ALREADY WAVING HIS RIGHT HAND AND WAS ABOUT TO HIT AGAIN.

It's going to die! If you get hit, you'll die!

That's for sure! It's like drinking Coke and burping and choking on bread! I'll die if I get hit by this weirdo!

This is what is destined to happen.

JOJO turned sharply, and instead of running away, he crashed into the strange man who pounced.

The strange man who was in an overwhelming position did not expect this move, and the two slammed into each other.

"Boom!" JOJO flew out as if he had been hit by a truck. The bones and muscles of the whole body rattled.

"Hahahaha!" JOJO, who was knocked into the air, laughed out loud in the middle of the flight, "Fooled by you, you monster!" I deliberately bumped into you! This is the escape route of my JOJO!! ”

"Plop!" There was a sound of falling water in the dark streets. JOJO CRASHES INTO THE GUARDRAIL BY THE RIVER AND TUMBLES INTO THE HUDSON RIVER, WHICH DIVIDES GOTHIC CITY INTO TWO.

"Wooha!" JOJO choked on two mouthfuls of water in the waves, and managed to stabilize his body. The current carried him far from the shore, and away from the tall strange man.

"It's dangerous!" "If it weren't for my knowledge of the terrain in this area, if it weren't for the fact that I wasn't far from the river, I would have died here tonight." ”

Now that I'm in the water, you monster's speed and strength advantage shouldn't be able to play out!

Even if you jump into the water, I'm a JOJO who can swim the Volga at the age of five, and getting rid of you is a matter of a blink of an eye.

The mighty strange man looked around the river and gave up his intention to kill him, turned around and disappeared into the night.

What kind of monster is that?

"Are you gone?" JOJO, who survived the catastrophe, swam down the river to the opposite bank, ready to go ashore farther away.

From the place where the water fell, it floats downstream along the Hudson River, only a dozen kilometers into the vast Atlantic Ocean. JOJO IS READY TO FLOAT FOR ABOUT A KILOMETER AND THEN GO ASHORE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RIVER, WHERE TO FIND A POLICE BOOTH TO REPORT THE SITUATION AND THEN COME BACK TO CHECK THE SCENE.

The Hudson River is dark and cold, like dark ink in the night, making people feel boundless fear and unknown.

But the great depression and fear that the weirdos bring has faded away.

There was nothing unusual about the body other than the sharp pain of the impact.

……

"This is my adventure last night on the brink of life and death." JOJO TOUCHED HIS CHEST, "MY BONES AND INTERNAL ORGANS ARE STILL AS UNCOMFORTABLE AS IF THEY WERE TURNING OVER A RIVER. ”

"And then?" Galadia asked, "Did you return with the police?" Then the crime scene was discovered. ”

"Not really." JOJO SPREAD HIS HANDS HELPLESSLY, "THE POLICE OFFICER I FOUND DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE HIS BOOTH AT ALL, AND SENT ME AWAY AS A DRUNK WHO WAS DRUNK AND OVERBOARD. I had to go around and go home and call a few friends to re-enter the alley with weapons...... The victim's body was found and the police were called. ”

"You're so bold~" Sonia stuck out her tongue as she listened, "A person dares to come back." Aren't you afraid that the murderer will remain where he is? ”

"It's not very likely." JOJO SHOOK HIS HEAD AND SAID, "THERE'S NO POINT IN HIM STAYING ON THE SCENE, AND I AND A FEW GENTLEMEN WHO CAME WITH ME ARE SO POWERFUL THAT IF THE OTHER PARTY WANTS TO RESIST, IT'S JUST RIGHT TO TAKE HIM DOWN." ”

You're in luck...... Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Judging by the Ripper's performance, it is highly likely that he has extraordinary strength. Fortunately, JOJO didn't encounter him again, otherwise a few ordinary people with hammers, wrenches, and shovels would simply deliver meat and vegetables to the door.

Sonia thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Joseph, I would like to launch an all-round search here. Last night, the Ripper committed the murder here and fought you again, greatly increasing the probability that he will be sighted. I will mobilize the police, and if I can, I hope to have the assistance of you and your companions. ”

"Of course, I'll be happy to help, Inspector Trainee!"

The police were quickly summoned and drew a number of portraits of the mysterious man based on the description made by JOJO, and the reluctant officers took them from house to house to visit nearby residents and ask them if they had seen such a suspicious person pass by around 12 a.m. last night.

JOJO'S COMPANIONS WERE ALSO BROUGHT IN, AND GENTLEMEN LED BY STERLING, AS RESIDENTS FAMILIAR WITH THE TERRAIN OF THE AREA, RAN BACK AND FORTH WITH THE POLICE OFFICERS.

XIAO YAN DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THIS TIME-CONSUMING AND LABORIOUS PLATOON, BUT WENT TO THE HUDSON RIVER WHERE HE ESCAPED WITH JOJO.

"Are you saying that when you jumped into the river, the mystery man didn't chase after you?" Xiao Yan walked onto the old riverside plank road, and the wooden planks creaked.

"That's true." JOJO REPLIED, "YOU'RE WONDERING, WHY DIDN'T HE GO INTO THE WATER AND CHASE HIM?" ”

"With the physicality you've described, I think it's only a matter of moments when he gets into the water." Xiao Yan looked at the dark and cold river under his feet. Not knowing if it was a hallucination or something, he felt something familiar in the river.

"Maybe he can't swim?" "IT'S NOT UNCOMMON. I know a great boxer who is unbeatable on land, but when you get out of the water, you sink like a stone, hahahaha! You should have seen him struggle, and he sank in one fell swoop. ”

"Is this water deep?"

"It's hard to say how deep it is, but there are a lot of aquatic plants down there, and it's very dangerous."

"Aquatic weeds?"

"yes~ When I was floating in the water last night, I felt something slippery and soft rubbing against my body. If I hadn't been lying flat and recovering my strength down the river, I would probably have become entangled in the aquatic weeds. ”

"There's this thing down there?" Xiao Yan looked down at the water. It was completely impossible to see anything under the dark water.

"Isn't it! That sticky and soft touch. Woo chirp~ I don't want to experience it a second time! ”
