Chapter 12: The Beginning of Escape
The unfortunate seagull will never know why it died today.
It was originally just standing lazily on the eaves, murmuring in the sun.
As a result, a white UFO that was larger than the entire bird suddenly hit its face.
Fortunately, the ball of light seemed to have no power, and after jumping up and down, it managed to stabilize its posture and fold its wings.
However, the good times did not last long.
It was just about to fly away from this troubled place, but before it flew far, a bald man started to catch up with it in the sky behind it.
"Gugu?"
With the brain capacity of Miss Seagull, it is no longer possible to process such strange and complex information.
It just instinctively sensed the danger, and then flew desperately towards the port and the sea not far away.
But the flying bald guy was like a male bird in estrus with explosive hormones, chasing it closely at an incredible speed.
final…
When the seagull and the bald guy were flying over the bay not far away, they "collided".
The accident resulted in one death and one injury. The dead one was the seagull, and the injured one was the bald man who fell from the sky after hitting the bird.
Unfortunately, he didn't fall into the sea in the harbor, but instead hit a small yacht that happened to pass under him.
"call…"
"It was a close call. I almost died this time."
Li Qing struggled to get off the hard deck of the yacht, and then he noticed that he only had 3% of his health left after falling from a high place:
"Really... they cranked the difficulty up to the maximum right from the start."
"If Diablo hadn't underestimated the enemy just now, I would have no chance of surviving."
"Although I escaped this time, that guy will definitely not let me go so easily. After this, the enemy will definitely come to me one after another."
"The bad thing is, I've only watched two episodes of JOJO, and I only know..."
“Bald!!”
An angry voice interrupted Li Qing's thoughts.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged white man with a big belly rushed out of the cab in anger.
Because he was neither a 'teammate' nor an 'enemy', he could not see the strange health bar floating above Li Qing's head.
He just happened not to see the horrifying sight of Li Qing falling from the sky, but only heard a deafening crash.
To this ordinary ship captain, Li Qing was just a street hooligan who appeared out of nowhere to cause trouble:
"Damn baldy!"
"Look at what you have done to my deck!"
Before he could even stand firmly on his feet, he was already swearing:
"Where on earth did you come from?"
"The oriental face... is it a tourist from a foreign country?"
"I can tell you, this is our company's most beautiful yacht. If you want to get on it, you have to go to the dock and pay to rent it first!"
"Oh yeah... repair costs, and the cost of repairing this deck..."
The captain's attitude was aggressive, but Li Qing ignored his shouting.
"It's too close. It's too close."
He muttered to himself:
"I just flew about 300 meters in a straight line in the sky."
"According to the speed of an adult, even taking into account the twists and turns of the street, Diablo would only need one minute to catch up."
"No...I have to keep running."
"Hey, hey!"
The captain of the ship once again rudely interrupted his meditation: "Are you deaf?"
"Listen to me, if you can't come up with the money, I'm going to talk to the police."
"oh…"
Li Qing said softly.
When I turned around and looked at the captain, his face was already filled with a kind smile:
"Captain, I want to rent a boat, and I want it now."
"captain?"
Hearing this respectful address, his expression immediately improved:
"Are you here to rent a boat?"
"Well, first go to the shore to pay the money and go through the formalities, then pick a boat at the dock..."
"No."
Li Qing said in an unquestionable tone: "I want to set off now, and I want this one."
"This one?"
The fat captain was very unhappy:
"Don't be ridiculous, this one won't work."
"There's something wrong with the ship's oil tank, and I'm just about to take it back to the dock for repairs."
"Can you move?"
Li Qing asked without caring: "As long as it can move."
"It doesn't matter if it breaks down in the middle of the sea, just get out of here now!"
"Little guy, are you here to make trouble?"
The captain frowned:
"Don't say this ship has some minor problems. Even if it is fine, we can't just leave!"
"I told you, if you want to rent a boat you have to pay and go through the formalities first..."
"I do have money."
Li Qing touched his bulging pockets, indicating that he had a lot of capital:
"Can the formalities be waived?"
"That won't do."
"The ships are owned by the company, and according to regulations, we have to go through the formalities first."
The captain subconsciously refused, but immediately revealed a mercenary expression:
"Unless you give me a large sum of money in private... hehe."
He clearly wanted to make a fortune.
However, Li Qing finally used a very reasonable offer and quickly won the business negotiation:
"Captain, your suggestion is good...but..."
"I'm sorry, but I really don't have time to bargain with you."
"You want money, don't you?"
Li Qing pulled a pistol from his pocket and asked in a friendly tone, "Is this enough?"
※※※
On the dock.
Diablo followed the direction in which Li Qing fled and chased him all the way to the port.
When he rushed to the dock, he saw Li Qing standing on the yacht and bargaining with the captain from afar.
Then the boat started moving.
The yacht ran at full speed, carrying the mortal enemy who had just escaped from Diablo's hands, and rushed into the vast ocean.
“Damn it!”
"He ran away...let him run away!"
"A guy with unknown identity and purpose, who also knew my Stand ability, actually ran away like this!"
Diablo felt frustrated and even more angry.
He knew that the mystery that he had worked so hard to maintain for many years was finally revealed unexpectedly today.
A thousand-mile long dike can be destroyed by an ant hole.
If Li Qing were allowed to survive like this, information about his stand ability would most likely spread.
A large part of the battle between Stand users is an intelligence war.
Although Diablo's Stand ability can be called invincible, it is not strong enough to be broken.
If the information is leaked, there will definitely be countless powerful enemies who will challenge his king status in the future and design battle plans in advance based on his abilities.
"I must kill him, sew his mouth shut, and throw him into the sea to feed the fish and shrimp!"
Diablo thought bitterly.
Then, he began to concentrate on planning a plan to hunt down Li Qing:
"The bald man is now out to sea on a boat."
"Luckily I saw the yacht in time, otherwise it would have been difficult to find him."
"Wait...at sea?"
Diablo had a brilliant idea:
In order to consolidate his authority as the boss, he specially set up a direct [personal guard] in the organization that only obeyed his personal command.
Each of these guards is a Stand user who is either powerful or has special abilities and is loyal to him. They are usually scattered throughout Italy, helping Diablo handle the affairs of the Passion organization.
In order to prevent any unexpected events, Diablo would always bring one or two members of his personal guard to protect him whenever he went out.
The bodyguard he brought with him this time happened to be a guy who was extremely skilled in naval warfare.
No…
Not just "good at", to put it in an exaggerated way...
"He is 'invincible' at sea."
"That kind of stand ability is really suitable for fighting in the sea."
Diablo thought so.
Then, he immediately called the "naval warfare expert":
"Skayaro."
"You have a mission."
