Chapter 233: First Defeat in Life
Bessie gave up.
Without Proshout's guidance, he was just a carrot without a soul.
The idol of his life has been shattered, so why should he continue to persist?
What's there to hold on to if even the eldest brother is afraid of death and runs away?
Bessie fell to the ground or let go of the fishing rod in despair.
He didn't say anything either, just stood there blankly like a salted fish that had lost its ideals, waiting to be dried.
"very good…"
Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
The massive blood loss had completely drained his body. Even if he regained his youth, he would not have the strength to fight.
Not only does it lack strength, it's also dangerous.
Although the method of bloodletting and cooling down is very effective, it inevitably has a small side effect - death.
Wounds of this magnitude cannot be healed at all.
He can only hold on for one more minute at most. If he doesn't get Giorno's first aid, Li Qing will definitely die.
"But that's enough..."
Li Qing endured the pain and thought calmly:
"That carrot head has lost the will to fight."
"As long as he lays down his weapon and does not attack me, I have great hope of surviving this crisis."
More than three minutes have passed since the battle began.
Although the phone was damaged and contact was lost, Li Qing believed that his companions would definitely be able to find a way to enter the station for support within these few minutes.
And just now he had perfectly provoked Bessie's emotional upheaval.
Bessie yelled on the platform like a child abandoned by his parents. That loud and harsh voice just provided guidance for his companions who came to support Li Qing.
“The biggest crisis is over…”
"I should have won this round."
Li Qing observed Bessie carefully:
This guy who looks fierce but is weak inside is now like a robot that has run out of power, standing there lifeless.
There is no way, there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart.
His faith betrayed him, and he betrayed his faith.
Bessie is no longer threatening at all.
Next, Li Qing just had to wait for his companions to come and rescue him.
He was thinking this, and then...
Suddenly, I heard a rustling sound of footsteps coming from the train parked next to the platform.
“W-what?!”
"Is there anyone in the train who can move?"
Li Qing's heart, which had finally calmed down, suddenly tightened.
The reason he was able to deceive Bessie just now was that there were no passers-by on the platform to get in the way, and he was the only one who could serve as a sample to judge whether the heroic death policy should be lifted.
But if any passers-by got off the trains and Bessie saw that the aging effects on those people had not been eliminated...
It's all over!
“Damn it, damn it…”
Li Qing's heart was pounding:
"Why is there suddenly someone moving around?"
"There was no movement in the car just now. The passengers inside must have been too old to move!"
The tension built up in my heart to the extreme.
But at this moment, Li Qing had lost too much blood and had no strength to do anything. He could only wait helplessly for his fate to come.
Finally, the footsteps in the train came closer.
One of the passengers walked slowly to the unopened door, knocked on the door glass and shouted to Bessie on the platform:
"Hey, hey...you've been on the platform the whole time, right?"
"Do you know what just happened... It seems like some kind of disease broke out in the carriage."
"My body has suddenly aged, my teeth and hair are falling out - I need to call the police, this should be a terrorist attack like in Naples!"
The passenger behind the door shouted persistently.
Although Bessie was immersed in confusion and despair and unable to move, his eyes were still subconsciously attracted to the passenger.
But Li Qing was relieved instead.
Because, when the other party appeared, he discovered that the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared had regained his youth!
Although most of his hair has been lost due to aging, and his mind has become a little confused and demented after this drastic change, the body of this passerby has indeed gotten rid of aging.
His flesh was plump and his skin was rosy, obviously unaffected by his heroic death.
"I see!"
"No wonder someone in the silent carriage suddenly started to move. It turns out they have regained their youth—"
Li Qing's heart, which had been lifted high, suddenly relaxed:
"Prosciutto is really dead this time."
"He has been worn out by me, so even the aging of the train passengers has been lifted."
"The dead can't stand against me anymore, so it's almost impossible to expose my lies."
There is no greater ups and downs in life than this.
I thought there would be complications, but unexpectedly it was good news.
This roller coaster-like thrilling feeling really made Li Qing, who was currently suffering from heart bleeding, a little breathless.
Then, something even more breathtaking happened:
It turns out that this roller coaster of ups and downs still has one fatal turn left.
"Hey, hey, go call the police!"
"Wait, why is there so much blood on ?"
"Doctor! Where is...where is...a doctor..."
Behind the car door, in front of Bessie and Li Qing, the passenger who was excitedly banging on the window suddenly fell silent.
Because he's getting older again.
His body, which had just regained its youthfulness, unexpectedly became old again in that instant.
"This is…"
Bessie and Li Qing's expressions changed at the same time:
“Die…heroically!”
"Brother didn't leave?!" Bessie's face changed drastically.
"He's not dead yet?!" Li Qing said the same thing.
At this moment, he almost had a cardiac arrest.
"It's over..."
Li Qing instantly realized what had just happened:
"Prosciutto is not dead at all—"
"He just took the initiative to remove his Stand ability, allowing the passengers on the train to leave their seats and walk out of the carriage."
"He was reminding Bessie in this way. He was letting Bessie know that he was always here!"
At this moment, Li Qing felt cold all over.
It was not only because he lost more blood, but also because of the fear in his heart.
Yes, he was actually afraid.
Li Qing had never climbed anything except some terrifying ancient creature that had survived since the dinosaur era.
But now, he was truly desperate because of his enemies.
This was not because of the opponent's strength. Strong strength could never make Li Qing surrender. Only a terrible will could make him tremble:
"Is this man...immortal?"
"What kind of will and awareness can allow him to persist to this point!"
Proshout's injuries were definitely more serious than Li Qing's.
But he has persisted until now, and used his broken life to give Li Qing the final blow.
At this moment, Li Qing couldn't help but recall the horror of being killed by Zhou Tai with 13 Indomitable Limit Cards when playing Three Kingdoms, and the humiliation of being slashed by Barbarian King with 1 drop of blood when playing League of Legends.
How do you...
Just! Not! Die!
Li Qing's heart was roaring and his hands were shaking.
He had squeezed the last of his life to the limit, but the enemy's limit was further than his.
"Hey... Baldy."
As expected, Bessie reacted.
He saw the passenger aging in front of him, and understood the reminder that Proshute gave him with his life.
"You were just lying to me, weren't you?"
"Brother Prosciutto didn't run away at all. He has always been by my side, protecting me silently!"
Bessie's body was shaking violently and tears of regret welled up in her eyes.
His thick carrot head suddenly became smarter, and even his misty eyes became sharp:
"Brother is clearly here but he can't speak or show up, so he can only remind me this way."
"That means he must have been seriously injured, unable to move and about to die."
"But even so, Big Brother is still protecting me from behind!"
"And I...and I..."
"I did something so stupid that I deserve to be cut into pieces!"
A terrifying aura suddenly surged out of Bessie.
This is murderous intent, a murderous intent so strong that it cannot be dissolved:
"Before my eldest brother passed away, Li Qing——"
"I'm going to make you pay!!"
“Let’s do it…”
Li Qing said in a calm tone.
He really tried his best, fought hard, and did everything he could.
Whether it was life or consciousness, he had really pushed it to the limit.
"I have never lost since I came into this world."
"But I lost this round."
Li Qing accepted the reality calmly, and the undefeated Lee Sin finally lost.
But strangely, such a failure did not make him feel regretful in the end, but instead made him feel very happy:
“Good Game.”
Li Qing calmly typed GG in his mind.
He closed his eyes and prepared for the end of the game.
"No, you didn't lose."
A deep voice suddenly sounded behind me.
Amid the heavy footsteps, Jotaro's tall and burly figure slowly approached:
"Your persistence was not in vain."
"We won, Li Qing."
