Chapter 188: Inescapable Misfortune
Luck, a mysterious attribute.
It is difficult to describe and difficult to measure, but it does exist.
Li Qing has always had bad luck.
For example, when playing mobile games, a character that a seal can draw with a single shot of 28 often requires him to spend 2,800 to get it as a guarantee.
Such bad luck made him a money-burning krypton gold sow in the old world, and after crossing over, he became a target of hatred who could be assassinated twice even for having a meal.
And now, in Rome late at night, his luck had finally plummeted to the bottom, just like the A-share stocks he had bought, and it was as bad as it could be.
Missed Q at long range.
Melee New Year greetings and kowtow.
"Sure enough, the enemy's Stand ability is making my luck worse!"
"When your luck gets bad, even the takeaway vendor will forget to give you chopsticks."
"If it's just luck, then nothing should be surprising."
Li Qing confirmed this with certainty.
He would rather believe that there is a substitute who can launch an attack from the metaphysical side than believe that his skills are so bad that his Q will miss when he gets close to the opponent.
"In that case..."
An unsolvable problem soon appeared before Li Qing:
How should you fight a weird stand-in that can make your luck worse?
On the contrary, how can we resist bad luck, how can we defy God's will, how can we break the fate that is invisible and intangible but does exist?
"That's all we can do..."
A gleam of brilliance flashed across Li Qing's cloudy pupils.
His muscles tensed, his legs locked deep into the ground like a plow, and then...
Turn around, take a step, and walk quickly.
"run!"
Without saying a word, Li Qing sprinted towards the construction site gate in the opposite direction.
He ran away very fast, like a cheetah madly chasing an antelope on the African savannah.
This is not a simple escape, but a tactic, a practical tactic that can be effective against most unsolvable abilities:
The abilities of a Stand are basically limited in range.
As long as you create a sufficient distance between yourself and the enemy and escape beyond the influence of the enemy's stand, even the most powerful abilities will become ineffective.
really…
The moment Li Qing turned around and started to run away, Sandro finally reacted.
He no longer stood there calmly as he did at the beginning, but subconsciously followed Li Qing and chased after him.
As Sandro chased after him, he said in a "bluffing" tone:
"it's useless!"
"You can't escape, give up struggling!"
"hehe."
Li Qing was dismissive of this:
"If it's really useless, why are you chasing me?"
"Oh, forget it if you don't believe me."
Sandro smiled noncommittally and continued to chase forward.
In fact, what he didn't say was that his mysterious ability could indeed make people so unlucky that they couldn't even escape.
But this does not mean that Sandro himself can just stand there and wait for God to help:
He has to try his best to attack, chase and prevent his target from resisting - God helps those who help themselves, and only when human power has reached its limit will God's will come.
So, facing Li Qing who was trying to escape, Sandro still chased after him with all his strength.
Li Qing just thought that this was a helpless act of Sandro after his weakness was revealed.
"Want to keep me? How can you catch up with me!"
Li Qing felt relieved.
Luck is just luck after all. This indescribable thing cannot change the fact that his physical strength completely crushes Sandro.
In just a short moment, he turned around and ran into the factory gate.
Sandro had just run two steps when Li Qinglai suddenly left him a full five meters behind.
Five meters, six meters, seven meters, eight meters, nine meters...
The distance between the two sides was widening at an astonishing speed.
However, just when Li Qing was about to leave Sandro behind by ten meters... he suddenly slipped.
My foot slipped again.
But this time, what he stepped on was not a banana peel, but a scaffolding steel pipe that someone had thrown on the construction site.
Li Qing, who was able to sense everything around him, unexpectedly missed the steel pipe due to distraction.
The steel pipe seemed to appear out of thin air under his feet. By the time Li Qing realized it, this ordinary steel pipe had completely destroyed his center of gravity.
Li Qing missed a step and fell forward suddenly.
And this time it's even worse.
The last time Li Qing just kowtowed and wished a happy new year, but this time, there was a piece of broken cement on the ground where he fell.
A thick steel bar was embedded in the broken cement block, and the steel bar pointed straight up to the sky, like a spear tip growing in the ground.
When Li Qing fell, the steel bar was pointed right at his eyes.
Sizzle——
In this brightly lit but deadly silent uninhabited place, a strange sound of flesh and blood tearing suddenly rang out.
The steel bar penetrated straight into Li Qing's eye socket, pierced into his brain, and turned his brain tissue into a paste.
Fortunately, Li Qing “doesn’t need to think” in the digital mode.
This kind of injury, which is 100% fatal to ordinary people, only consumes less than 20% of Li Qing's health.
“What a useful ability…”
"Such a fatal misfortune is nothing to you."
Sandro stopped not far behind Li Qing.
He said in a rather joking manner, in an "I told you so" tone:
"Bad luck cannot be escaped by human power. If you cannot die, it means you will have to experience more bad things and endure more pain."
"Is this lucky or unfortunate? Haha..."
“…”
Li Qing did not answer.
He silently pulled his head out from the damn steel bar, and the injuries to his brain and eyes healed instantly.
Then, Li Qing turned around and looked at Sandro very seriously:
“It’s certainly lucky.”
“The most precious asset of a person is his life.” “As long as I am alive, my future will have infinite possibilities.”
"Stop joking."
Sandro's tone was still so flat, so flat that it was annoying.
The tone of his voice sounded as if he was a god who controlled fate and a prophet who saw through the future:
"You can't attack or escape now, and even calling for help may cause power outages and internet disconnection."
"The so-called future now only has one possibility."
"That means walking towards death step by step in an endless misfortune!"
"I don't believe it!"
Li Qing's gaze remained firm.
He took a sudden step forward, bringing Sandro closer to him.
Sandro did not stop him. He was not afraid of Li Qing's approach. He was only worried that Li Qing would escape.
In this way, Li Qing approached within two meters of Sandro.
"Bad luck, huh?"
"Ordinary people may sink into the entanglement of bad luck, but I will never-"
Li Qing always believed that he was special.
And he is indeed special.
In a sense, his ability to digitize is a high-level law that overrides the world. This law cannot be changed by any force, even if that force is so-called luck.
"The sound wave will miss, and normal attacks will cause you to fall, so..."
"What about this trick?"
Li Qing used all his strength and suddenly slapped the ground with his palm like a head of state slapping the table.
A burst of fluorescence suddenly appeared between his palms, and the fluorescence quickly became brighter as the palm fell:
"Thunder breaks!"
This is Lee Sin's E skill, Thunder Break.
He would slam his palms into the ground, sending a shockwave in all directions that was strong enough to cover a two-meter radius.
The power of this shock wave is not strong, but it is enough to cause real harm to people.
Of course, Li Qing didn't intend to defeat the enemy with this move.
He just wanted to prove that as a "player", he was an existence that was out of the rules of the world, and that even bad luck could not restrain him:
Just like this move of Tianleipo.
This is a range-destroying skill that is supported by system rules.
The Tianyin Wave might miss at close range, but the Tianlei Break, which has a wide-area killing effect, will definitely not miss a person.
"So what about bad luck?"
"Could it possibly ignore the rules of the system and change the effects of my skills?"
Li Qing thought so firmly in his heart.
At this moment, Tianlei Po is not just a skill to him, but a symbol that proves that he can break the shackles of bad luck.
So, in Sandro's confused look and Li Qing's unwavering gaze...
His palm slammed heavily on the ground.
Bang!
Mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.
Not a metaphor, not an exaggeration...
The moment Li Qing's palm fell, the ground really cracked.
Maybe it’s because of the irregular construction, the load-bearing capacity of the ceiling of the underground garage is seriously substandard…
At this moment, the ground collapsed.
Li Qing stumbled and fell down along with the ground beneath his feet.
At the same time, the shock wave of Tianleipo was released from his palm - obviously, as Li Qing fell downwards, the starting position of the shock wave also changed.
Boom…
Li Qing fell into the underground garage more than three meters deep along with the rubble.
The shock wave from the thunderbolt only exploded underground and did not touch Sandro himself at all.
"It's actually possible... to do this?!"
Li Qing's expression turned very ugly:
Indeed, Doom cannot change the system's skill effects.
But this mysterious misfortune actually changed his "position" for releasing skills in such an exaggerated way.
"I did."
"Bad luck is also [luck], and no one can escape fate."
Sandro stood on the edge of the collapsed pit.
He and the creepy "doll" on his shoulder looked down at the dusty Li Qing:
"So…"
"Do you still want to resist, Li Qing?"
