Chapter 189 Miss Fortune
Li Qing never gives up resistance .
Whether in battle or in games, as a stubborn player who has never surrendered, he will do his best to fight to the end even in a hopeless and unfavorable situation.
But the situation now is more serious than any other unfavorable situation, because Li Qing must face an almost unanswerable question:
How can a person fight against the illusory fate?
When attacking, you might step on a banana peel, when running away, you might bump into a steel bar, and even area skills can cause the ground to collapse...
No matter what he does, something bad happens.
Such misfortune would make all his efforts come to naught and make his dying struggle look ridiculous and funny.
But Li Qing still did not give up. He tried hard to grasp the only clue that might be useful now:
"Everything I have done is in vain under the influence of bad luck."
"But there's just one difference..."
"While I was running away, that Sandro caught up with me."
The enemy started chasing him before he even took a step. This shows that the enemy's stand ability is not only limited in range, but also that the impact range of this ability must not be large.
And since Sandro needs to actively chase rather than wait for misfortune to befall the target, it means that the act of "escaping" is actually very likely to succeed.
This may be a special hidden mechanism of its substitute:
Sandro must take the initiative to pursue and shorten the distance between himself and the target, and then Misfortune will help him do the rest.
Then, reasoning in reverse:
As long as Sandro didn't chase him, he would most likely be able to successfully escape the influence of his Stand ability.
And Sandro, who is unable to use bad luck to influence others, is no different from an ordinary person - as long as you can always keep a safe distance from them, you can easily solve the problem with the most common firearms.
That being the case, the question now is…
How can I prevent Sandro from chasing me, or how can I make him not notice that I am running away?
“Damn it…”
Li Qing suddenly realized that after thinking about it, he had still fallen into a dead end:
"Nothing I do is going well for me right now. Is there any way I can disappear from his sight?"
"After all, I am still not that strong!"
Because his skills are too "simple", Li Qing often feels powerless:
If he also had the bug-like ability to pause time and erase time, many problems would be solved.
By then, Sandro probably wouldn't even realize what was happening, because he would have silently walked to a safe area in his own timeline.
"No, stop!"
Li Qing suddenly clenched his fists.
He promptly dispelled the unrealistic fantasy in his mind.
Imagining that you have an IQ of 300 cannot change the fact that you fail every subject. Imagining that you are worth billions cannot change the fact that you have to eat instant noodles every day. YY can never solve problems, it will only gradually wear away a person's courage to face reality.
He is neither Dio nor Diablo, he is just himself.
All he can rely on is his own fists.
"I see…"
Li Qing's lifeless eyes suddenly had a different look:
"That's right, escape is never a solution!"
The "chicken soup for the soul" just now not only gave him the courage to face the problem, but also made him think of the key to solving the problem.
And Sandro also noticed the change in Li Qing's expression in this short moment:
From nervousness, to confusion, to cheer up, and finally to high spirits.
"Sure enough, you're not someone who gives up so easily."
"In that case, let me help you and help you end your misfortune as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sandro slowly took out a pistol from his arms.
He didn't even aim, he just pointed the gun in Li Qing's direction, then pulled the trigger calmly.
Gunshots suddenly rang out.
Li Qing did not dodge, but instead jumped up towards the sound of the gunshot.
He knew that it was impossible for him to dodge the bullets in the face of bad luck, so he simply gave up trying to dodge.
The perfect digitized body gave him the confidence to face the bullets head-on. Li Qing completely ignored the bullet holes that appeared and disappeared on his body in an instant , and jumped back to the ground from the collapsed pit.
Looking at Li Qing who suddenly became alert, Sandro couldn't help but be a little wary:
What exactly does he want to do?
Is there really any way to fight bad luck?
Sandro's previous enemies basically died soon after being hit, so this was the first time he had experienced a situation like this.
Under Sandro's slightly cautious gaze, Li Qing quickly gave his answer:
"run!"
Li Qing turned around, took a step, changed direction and continued to run away.
“…”
Sandro was silent for a while, then he chuckled:
"Ha ha ha ha…"
"Is this your last trick?"
He ran after Li Qing and shouted in a mocking tone:
"It's like an ignorant newbie who keeps shutting down and restarting his computer hoping it will fix itself..."
“Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results only gives you false hope!”
Sandro shouted so arrogantly.
The scary doll tied around his shoulders also stared at Li Qing with its eyes wide open.
To them, Li Qing was already a prey that had completely fallen into a trap.
And this seems to be the case:
Li Qing fled forward at a speed far beyond human speed, and the distance between the two sides widened greatly in this short moment.
But just like before, just when Li Qing was about to leave Sandro completely behind and escape a full ten meters away...something strange happened!
A telephone pole that was originally standing nearby suddenly broke in the middle.
The concrete pillar broke into pieces, and the thick upper half of the electric pole fell down, and the row of high-voltage cables on it were instantly torn off.
In the blink of an eye, the fallen electric pole hit Li Qing hard.
Not only did Li Qing fail to escape successfully, but he was hit on the head by the heavy concrete pillar.
Bang!
Li Qing staggered.
Fortunately, he was physically strong enough and was not knocked to the ground by the stick.
"Haha, as expected..."
Sandro laughed with a gloating look.
However, before his mocking smile could be revealed, it immediately disappeared into the darkness.
Yes, darkness has suddenly descended here...
The electric poles fell down, the lines were torn off, and the power supply to the construction site was naturally interrupted.
This unmanned land was once as bright as day due to the lights, but now it was plunged into darkness in an instant due to the lack of electricity.
Sandro's smile froze.
Because when the darkness covered everything, Li Qing also entered the darkness.
He held his breathing and heartbeat.
Through perfect control of this extraordinary body, he can also minimize the amplitude of each of his movements.
The howling wind at night and the speeding cars outside the construction site now perfectly covered up the sound of Li Qing's light footsteps.
He was like an invisible man, completely disappearing in the darkness.
But Sandro did not have any extraordinary perception, so he could not find Li Qing lurking in the shadow at all.
If he didn't even know where Li Qing was, he naturally wouldn't be able to chase Li Qing, and he wouldn't be able to actively close the distance with him - if he couldn't do this, Doom would not take effect.
"I see."
"He took advantage of the chaos when the power went out and the lights went out and hid himself in the darkness that I couldn't see through."
“This is really…”
Sandro's expression changed slightly :
"like water off a duck's back!"
He raised the pistol and fired a random shot into the sky above his head.
Gunshots rang out and flames burst forth.
The darkness was briefly dispelled, and the light from the bullet instantly illuminated the surrounding scenery.
At this moment, Li Qing's figure, tiptoeing towards the distance, appeared in front of Sandro.
“Here!”
The light flashed and then disappeared, but it was enough.
Sandro, who had already discovered Li Qing's position, casually took a step in the direction where Li Qing fled, and the mysterious force of doom instantly descended upon Li Qing:
Whoosh——
The bullet shot into the sky by Sandro fell from the sky in a free fall.
Thanks to the aerodynamic bullet design, this tiny bullet continues to accelerate as it falls, accelerating to a point that is fast enough to penetrate a human skull.
Li Qing was walking normally when a bullet fell from the sky and pierced his head.
