Chapter 35: Abdel, the stand-in is the Red Child
"You go, I didn't call you."
"Can you help me? How can you help me? I'm sorry to have you coming from New York, but you'd better leave. ”
Jotaro stood in front of the cell door and looked at his grandfather.
He reached out and held a strange metal object in his hand, which looked like a finger.
"This, this is the little thumb of my left prosthetic?!"
Jotaro's grandfather, Joseph Joestar's pupils suddenly contracted.
Due to some accidents in his early years, he lost his left hand and switched to metal prosthetics, thanks to the world's most developed technology, the impact on his life is not too great.
However, although it is a metal prosthetic leg, it has no nerves, so it has no sense of touch, but Jotaro Kujo was able to take his little finger without knowing it, which ......
You know, Joseph Joestar, when he was young, was also a famous warrior, and he defeated many enemies with his brains and skills, as well as enemies who were not human.
"Did you see that? Noticed? This is the evil spirit. Don't come near me, or you'll only make your little life shorter. ”
Jotaro tossed the little finger to Joseph and said something that sounded like he wanted to beat him up.
“……”
"Abdel, it's your turn."
Joseph was silent for a moment, then suddenly snapped his fingers and called a strong man from outside.
The man was dark-skinned, resolute-looking, and wore large, necklace-like earrings, and looked and dressed in a South Asian and Middle Eastern style.
But he put his hands together, and with the necklace and earrings, he looked like a head.
"He is an Egyptian friend I met three years ago named Abdel. Abdel, help get my grandson out of his cell. ”
Joseph briefly introduced the head called Abdel and pointed at Jotaro.
The meaning is obvious, even if it is by violent means, it is necessary to bring Jotaro, a rebellious teenager, home.
"Save it, he seems to have a lot of strength, but since you have already spoken, how can I let this ugly man take me out."
"With this level of appearance, it's not enough to be on my 'Identifying Hot Creature Videos' series, and it's not a water monkey."
Jotaro turned and sat back on his bed, looking at Abdel coldly.
"Now I'm rebellious, and I won't go out of anything you say."
“…… Mr. Joseph, I may have been cruel in my ways, and I would have tormented him to the point where I begged us to let him out. ”
Abdel looked like an eminent monk, and looking at his face, he didn't seem to be angry with Jotaro's vulgar words.
But what he said is hard to believe this, how to look at it is a violent head.
"It doesn't matter."
Joseph waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"Hey, ...... the hell you"
Jotaro had just spoken, but his expression changed suddenly.
I saw that Abdel, the violent head, put his hands together, and a phantus appeared on his body.
This phantom is not tall, and it can even be said to be very short, how can it be seen that it looks like a seven-year-old child.
The child was wearing only a red belly pocket, the little hair on the top of his head was tied into three small tuggs, and there were several golden hoops on his hands, ankles, and neck, which looked very cute.
But the child was floating in the cell, with no pupils in his eyes, just two fiery red lights, and the shape of a flame looming behind him.
At the same time that Abdel released this illusion, the temperature around him also increased.
"This, this is ......"
"That's right, the 'evil spirit' you mentioned, Abdel also has it, and he can control it as he wishes, because it looks like a child and has a red hue, hence the name ......"
"Red Boy!"
As Joseph explained, the child-looking "Red Child" clenched his fists, hammered his nose a few times, and opened his mouth.
A few flames flew out of his mouth and flew towards Jotaro, instantly turning into a ring of flames, binding his limbs and holding him suspended from the wall.
If you change your posture, it will probably be the crucifixion of the saint of the Crucifixion, but the saint may not look like this "17-year-old, afraid of non-violence on campus".
"This, what's going on? The empty bar sticks to the wall, motionless. ”
"And it seems that the temperature around me has also risen......
But in the eyes of several police officers, it was this head that posed a few times, and Jotaro stuck it on the wall by himself and couldn't come down.
They don't seem to be able to see the "red child" or the ring of flames.
"Give up, the flame released by my stand-in 'Red Child' is not an ordinary flame, and it can't be extinguished if I don't take the initiative to remove it."
"Bastard...... Think that's going to bring me to my knees? ”
Jotaro gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, trying to break free from the flaming ring with his own strength.
Abdel's expression sank, and the "Red Child" struck again, hammering his nose twice with his fist, and opened his mouth to spew out a few more flames.
"Definitely!"
And at this moment, a somewhat old voice sounded out of nowhere.
"Whew!!"
A white shadow flickered, and the flames created by the red boy suddenly turned into nothingness, and all disappeared, and Jotaro also fell to the ground, able to stabilize his body.
And the little guy "Red Child" himself suddenly seemed to be pressed the pause button, frozen on the spot, unable to move.
"There it is! Finally appeared! Jotaro's stand-in!! This...... Huh? ”
Joseph looked excitedly at the figure in front of Jotaro, but the second half of the sentence was swallowed back into his stomach after seeing the phantom's face.
First of all, it looks personal.
Unlike Jotaro and Joestar, who are 195 at every turn, this figure doesn't look tall, and it's quite thin, even a little shrive compared to Holly Kujo.
In a word, it is an ordinary body type.
The man had gray hair, a bun tied at the top of his head, and a golden crown.
In addition, there is a chest-length, thick and supple white beard, and long eyebrows that hang down the chin, all of which indicate that this person is really not young.
He was dressed in a gold-rimmed gray robe that did not belong to this era, with wide robes and large sleeves, and flowing belts, and there was no wind in this closed cell. There is quite a kind of fairy wind bones, and the temperament of a master.
It was as if he didn't belong to the same world as everyone else here, and looked down on humanity like a god.
But the old man's gaze contained compassion and kindness.
"It's also in the form of a humanoid, and it can also fix my stand-in 'Red Child'?"
Abdel's expression was solemn, it was the first time he had seen such a stand-in.
The human form should be very strong, but the appearance of this stand-in is a thin old man?
Among the stand-ins Abdel has seen, there are human-looking, but most of them are oddly shaped. His stand-in "Red Child" is already quite a stand-in.
But although the old man looked thin, the red boy's attack just now was easily defused by him.
You know, that kind of flame is very difficult to extinguish, and it has to do with the human mind. The more determined the person is, the stronger the ability to withstand it, and if it is not a strong-willed person, he will not be able to withstand even the first round of the flames.
But on the contrary, if you are strong-willed, like Jotaro just now, you can even fight against it with physical strength alone.
Abdel gave the fire a name, adopting the Sanskrit word "Samadhi" and calling it samadhi.
Although it is only a little similar in shape, and it is essentially a difference of 108,000 miles, Abdel has always regarded it as his killer weapon, after all, where are so many people who are as determined as steel.
However, his killer trick was cracked by this white-bearded old man.
Moreover, it made Abdel have an inexplicable urge to worship him, what is this......
"You guy, look for death!!"
Jotaro Kujo stood up from the ground, furious, ready to throw his fist at Abdel's head.
"Definitely!"
As soon as he took a step, he was gently swept by the old man with a strange thing, and his body involuntarily froze in place.
It was something that looked like a broom and a feather duster. A grip of about one foot, with a bunch of white silk threads tied at the end of the grip, very fluffy, like a fox's tail.
Generally speaking, this thing is called dusting. The people who will use this thing are also Buddhists and Taoists, as well as the gods and goddesses they worship.
It seemed to sweep over Red Boy's body just now, making Red Boy unable to move.
"Good wealth boy, don't you wake up soon?"
Ignoring the surprised gazes of Joseph and Jotaro and the others, the white-bearded old man lifted the dust again and swept it in the air towards the Red Child, and Abdel's stand-in, the Red Child, shook his place and closed his eyes.
Then, he suddenly opened his eyes, and the flame-like red light disappeared into two clear eyes.
The red boy folded his hands and bowed down to the white-bearded old man in thanks.
"Thank you Venus for the rescue, the boy strayed into this place, he was confused, and he was used by others, thank you here."
However, in the next second, the polite-looking little child turned his head and glared at Abdel.
"The thief head Tuo, dare to detain my soul with demon law, come quickly!!"
"Don't do it. This is the general great creation between the two heavens and the earth, and it is not that this person is doing evil magic, and you must not be ferocious again and indiscriminately injure the lives of others. ”
The old man with the fairy wind and bones stopped the dust in front of the red boy and persuaded him to come down.
The stand-in spoke?!!! And Abdel's stand-in was ready to kill him?!!! ”
"Why is there an old man and a child in prison all of a sudden?!!!"
Joestar screamed as if he had seen a ghost.
And several police officers outside also shouted, what happened today completely turned their worldview upside down.
Could it be that the world, not themselves, is it that is crazy?
"Grandpa, do you know about this old man? What the hell is going on? ”
Jotaro tried to get himself moving, but except for his mouth, his whole body seemed to be bound by an invisible rope, and he couldn't move at all.
"This, this ......"
Joseph turned his head, only to see that the old man with fairy wind bones just looked at him with a smile and no intention of speaking, while the red boy looked vigilant.
Look again, Abdel has been completely stunned, and Kujo Heli ...... Forget it, her daughter has always been off the line, exactly like her mother.
The two policemen and the other prisoners...... Forget it, you can't count on them at all.
Joseph swallowed and said the lines that had been prepared long ago.
"Jotaro, what you thought was an evil spirit is actually an illusion of power created by your vibrations. Because it appears next to you, it's called 'stand'......"
"Abdel, like you, has a stand-in, and this kind of person is called a 'stand-in messenger'. His stand-in is the Red Child, who has the power of fire. ”
"But, theoretically, ordinary people can't see the stand-in, and the appearance of the stand-in is also strange and can't speak, this old ...... Uh......"
Joseph looked at the old man who was smiling at him, and forcibly changed his words.
Although he looked thin and weak, and what he held in his hand did not look like a weapon, Joseph always felt that he could slap himself like a leather ball if he wanted to.
After all, it only needs to wipe that fluttering prop on the face to subdue the red child, and even let this stand-in turn attack Abdel's master, even if he is older, he is definitely a master.
"This old gentleman really looks more like ...... Ghosts, or, thoughts of the body or the like......"
"Stand-in?"
Jotaro was only physically frozen at this time, and his mouth and mind could still move.
He repeated the word, turning his head to look at the old man in front of him.
According to Joseph, he should have emerged from his own spiritual power, but Jotaro was completely unable to control him, and it was better to say that he was restrained by this old man.
When he fought with those thugs before, he always had a feeling of being constrained, and after entering the cell, he always felt like he was showing others what he got to others.
The old man was closing his eyes slightly, stretching out his right hand, and a few fingers were pinching something.
"I see......"
The old man opened his eyes, not knowing if it was an illusion, and even the dark cell was lit up.
"Don't panic, the old man is the platinum star of the West, and this time he will come to this place outside the world by fate, the sky outside the sky, and it is also a creation between the old man and you."
"This person is called a red child, in his early years, he was a demon in the mortal world, but fortunately Guanyin Bodhisattva accepted and ignited, and stayed by his side to be a good wealth boy."
"I think it should be the same as the old man, it was fate that I got here, and I became the stand-in of this head."
"For various reasons, it's a long story. This is a cramped and obscure place, not a place to speak, you must not be rude, and it is not too late to find a clean and bright place to discuss. ”
