Chapter 170 Pig Demon
Li Qing is now a pig.
This is not an insult, but an objective fact that happened to him.
Now he has a fat head, big ears, a wide face and a big mouth. His limbs have turned into four sturdy hooves, and his skin has become thick, rough and covered with bristles.
The original agile and powerful superman body was gone, and all Li Qing felt from his body now was the weight of his fat.
In just a short moment, he turned into a white boar weighing several hundred kilograms.
His super hearing and his superhuman body all disappeared as his body changed.
At the same time, Li Qing was shocked to find that all the skills on his system panel were sealed.
Without extraordinary physical fitness and unable to use system skills, except for the data mode that is still turned on, he is now just an ordinary fat pig.
Hello…
What the hell? How did I turn into a pig?
Li Qing couldn't help but roar.
He never thought he would be attacked in such a strange way.
This roar spread from the bottom of his heart to his mouth, and finally turned into a shrill pig cry: "Hehehe!"
“Hmm…Hmm?!”
Li Qing tried to speak a few words, but found that he had completely lost his language ability as a human:
Damn...is this the so-called trap?
The enemy's stand ability is to turn others into pigs? .
As he thought about it, Li Qing couldn't help but shiver at the 50-yuan-a-pound tenderloin on his back:
No wonder the technology team’s headquarters is a pig farm.
This pig farm is not a simple cover-up at all, but a deadly trap.
And judging from the fact that he was inexplicably turned into a fat pig without even seeing the enemy's face, this terrifying stand ability can obviously be launched remotely and even cover a large area.
It only takes a certain amount of "preparation time" and any enemy that enters its range will be turned into a pig.
Li Qing roughly understood the enemy's Stand ability:
"We must quickly warn Giorno and the others!"
"If they are foolish enough to fall for it, then we are doomed..."
He subconsciously looked for his cell phone that had fallen to the ground.
Giorno's slightly nervous voice was heard from the other end of the phone. Li Qing's sudden "disappearance" and the strange pig squeals coming from the phone later made Giorno and others who were waiting outside the pig farm very worried.
Li Qing quickly warned his companions into the microphone, but what he said was:
“Hehehe…Hehehe!”
No matter how hard he tried, all Li Qing could make was the sound of a pig.
Moreover, because he was unfamiliar with this pig body, he always had trouble judging the distance between his head and the ground.
The long pig nose was so troublesome that Li Qing repeatedly rubbed his face against the floor, groaning like a real pig.
Damn it!
Li Qing gave up this futile attempt in anger.
He knew that this "pig-turning" state might have been judged as a negative state by the system.
Li Qing's body is not immune to negative states, including the effects caused by most of the stand's abilities, such as the zipper of Steel Chain Fingers and the killing virus of Purple Smoke.
However, in the experiments conducted after becoming partners with Bucciarati and others, Li Qing discovered...
The digitized body has the characteristic of "resilience".
In other words, the negative state caused by the enemy's stand ability will be automatically eliminated by the system after it lasts for a certain period of time.
However, this will only be effective when you are out of the enemy's range and at a certain distance from the enemy.
Otherwise, the system will treat this negative state as a persistent spell - just like the poisonous fog released by the alchemist in the game. If the player does not stay away from the "toxic ground", the negative state of "poisoning" will never be lifted.
“We must leave here!”
Li Qing quickly made a decision:
As long as he can stay away from this pig farm with traps, his body will automatically return to human form after a period of time.
At the same time, he had to quickly run back to the entrance of the pig farm and find a way to warn Giorno and others not to come in rashly.
Thinking of this, Li Qing immediately took four steps and ran back panting.
※※※
Inside a pig farm.
If Li Qing had not been influenced by those minions just now, he would have been able to slowly discover through his extraordinary hearing that the interior of this large pig farm was actually a different world.
There is actually a complete small building hidden inside this pig farm.
Like a Russian nesting doll, this small building with all the necessary facilities stands in the middle of the pig farm, surrounded by high walls on all sides and can only be entered through secret doors on the walls.
This is the real science and technology team’s residence, the office where the team’s technical staff work, and also the data room where the passion organization’s intranet server is located .
While Li Qing was wasting time with those minions outside, the head of the technology team, the owner of this pig farm, was sitting in the small building, drinking tea in front of the surveillance screen on the computer:
"Only one person came in. How cautious..."
"Unfortunately, this won't change your ending."
The head of the technology team, a slightly plump man with a unique temperament, talked to himself leisurely.
"Boss, is this really okay?"
A young man with a slightly pale face asked nervously:
"Sam Sang, Adam, Jamie, Fabio... the best people in our group were killed by those guys."
"As of now, there are only two of us left in the technology team... Those minions are usually full-time pig farmers and are not good at fighting... If the enemy breaks in..."
"Don't panic, Thomas."
"This is my home court, no one can get in."
The supervisor called out the young man's name slowly, calming his men's unstable morale:
"Those four guys all died because they were restless."
"They were too belligerent, too greedy, and too eager to grab the bounty and become cadres, so much so that they put themselves in danger."
"But I'm different..."
"The only ones who fall into danger are my enemies."
The supervisor looked at the surveillance video of Li Qing defeating those minions and counted the time calmly:
"5...4...3...2...1."
"Time is up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qing on the surveillance screen suddenly changed.
He turned into a pig.
“It worked!”
The young man named Thomas breathed a sigh of relief.
His tension was finally relieved, and his eyes became slightly relaxed as he looked at the surveillance screen.
"The supervisor is really amazing!"
Thomas sighed from the bottom of his heart.
This is not flattery, but a true thought mixed with admiration and fear:
The supervisor's ability is extremely terrifying.
The technology team doesn’t even need to have special security. As long as there is a supervisor here, no one can break in.
His stand is called "Pig Factory", which can turn anyone who steps into its range for "two minutes" into a pig.
Note that this refers to a complete transformation into a pig.
It's the kind of pig with a fat head, big ears, a body full of fat, no brains at all, and only knows how to eat, grow meat, sleep, and dig grass.
Not only will the body change, but the spirit will also degenerate to become as muddle-headed as a pig.
This also means that…
Once turned into a pig, the enemy is, in a sense, dead.
They will spend the rest of their lives in a pigsty and may not even know they were once human until they die.
"Ha ha."
The supervisor smiled calmly.
He didn't pay much attention to Thomas's praise. He just took a sip of tea and said calmly:
"Li Qing is already a pig."
"When his companions follow suit, you can order a few minions to send them directly to the slaughter room - after all, these are the people the boss specifically wants to kill, so don't waste your time keeping them alive."
"OK."
Thomas nodded, but inadvertently saw a somewhat unexpected scene on the surveillance screen:
"Wait… Director?"
"Li Qing, the pig that Li Qing turned into..."
He looked at the pig that kept digging its nose into the ground and humming into the phone, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Is he on the phone?"
"What?!"
The supervisor's calm expression finally changed slightly.
He followed Thomas's gaze and took a closer look:
Sure enough, Li Qing was humming into the phone non-stop, as if he was trying to make a call.
"Is it possible...his spirit is not affected?"
The supervisor's expression gradually became solemn:
His ability not only affects the body, but also the mind.
But Li Qing is different...
Just like how mental skills like "fear" in the game cannot penetrate the screen and scare the player himself, Li Qing's mind and body are actually separated by a "dimensional wall".
Mental attacks could never hurt him.
So he did not become a confused pig, but became a "pig demon" with an animal body and a human brain.
"Sorry for the trouble..."
Seeing that Li Qing had already turned his head and ran towards the entrance of the pig farm, the supervisor's voice finally became serious:
"If Li Qing escapes from the pig farm, he will definitely find a way to warn his companions!"
He is very capable, but his ability is only strong in one aspect: "information asymmetry".
If Giorno and the others become wary and refuse to come in because of Li Qing's reminder, then his Stand ability will be completely useless.
"We must not let this pig escape!"
The supervisor clenched his fists and said to Thomas decisively:
"I'll send a few more minions to deal with the others."
"Thomas, go and get rid of Li Qing as soon as possible--"
"Be careful, you can't let him escape to his companions, even if it costs you your life."
"ah?"
Thomas's young face showed a hint of nervousness: "I...I..."
He usually does more technical work, and although he has the ability to be a stunt double, he rarely has the opportunity to practice in actual combat.
The successive deaths of four colleagues made him fear fighting.
"Don't shirk your responsibility."
The supervisor's voice suddenly turned cold:
"Don't forget, there are things that are more painful than death."
" For example , the pigs in the factory are in estrus recently... Would you be interested in participating?"
“…”
Thomas' face turned green.
Yes, just as the supervisor said, in this pig farm, things more painful than death are always at hand.
Previously, there was a troublemaker in their group who refused to obey orders and was ready to resign because his salary was too low and his treatment was too bad...
Later... later the piglets he and the sow gave birth to grew big enough to be slaughtered.
"Do your best ."
"After I succeed, I will be promoted to a cadre, and I will immediately promote you to a supervisor."
The supervisor smiled and patted Thomas on the shoulder, his tone very kind:
"And, dear Thomas..."
"Don't tell me you can't even beat a pig."
