Chapter 261 Baby Face
When Li Qing and his group hurriedly walked out of the station gate, they did not notice the two hidden gazes coming from afar.
But that doesn't mean they are unaware of the danger.
Because the call for help from Mista and others was enough to explain the situation:
There were obviously enemies lying in ambush outside the station.
Unknown number, unknown capabilities, unknown locations.
These enemies may suddenly attack at any time, in unpredictable ways and at unpredictable times - like a group of venomous snakes lurking in dark corners .
This bright morning suddenly no longer seemed bright, and the entire world outside the station seemed to be shrouded in fog.
No one knows what else is hidden in the fog, and how much is hidden.
However, in this crisis-ridden situation, Li Qing took the initiative to give up the group tactic that could best ensure his own safety.
In a very serious tone, he proposed to split up:
"Let's split into three groups."
"Right now, Mista and the others are scattered in different directions. Only by splitting up can we reach all of our companions in the shortest possible time."
"We are healthy and can handle an ambush."
"But if we don't reunite with Mista and the others as soon as possible, and let these wounded soldiers who have completely lost their combat effectiveness encounter the enemy again... the consequences will be disastrous."
The reason is simple.
The wounded were scattered in three different directions, and unknown enemies were very likely lurking nearby.
They didn't have time to gather together to rescue one by one, so they had to split into three groups again to carry out the rescue simultaneously.
"Okay, let's do it."
Giorno immediately agreed with Li Qing's judgment:
"Then I will be in charge of Mista's direction."
"Mistad is the most seriously injured. I must get there as soon as possible."
"Can."
Bucciarati participated in the division of labor neatly:
"I'm moving with the Apache."
"You go and save Mista first. We will bring Fugo and Naranja here for treatment as soon as possible."
"Then Giorno and I will go together."
Li Qing volunteered to be Giorno's bodyguard:
"Everyone's life depends on Giorno now. He can't have any more accidents."
"With me following you, you can have someone to look after you on the road."
In this way, two of the three groups were quickly determined.
The last direction left is the direction where Polnareff disappeared, and Jotaro is the only person in charge of this direction.
Traveling alone will definitely put you under greater pressure and risk.
But when Li Qing and the others split up into two groups, they had no intention of considering Jotaro's safety at all.
Because they had already, without realizing it, in less than half a day, regarded Jotaro as a god, a monster stronger than Dio.
After all, Dio has a weakness of being afraid of light, so we can think of a way to solve it.
And if the current Lee Sin were to fight Jotaro, he would really have no idea how to defeat him even if he tried his best.
Therefore, everyone instinctively believed that even if Jotaro went alone, he would be able to ensure his safety.
And Jotaro naturally would not be dissatisfied with being "isolated".
"I'm going to find Polnareff."
Jotaro agreed without hesitation.
Then he adjusted the brim of his hat gently as usual, turned around and took big strides with a calm expression.
"Wait, Mr. Jotaro."
Li Qing called out to this guy who looked invincible from behind:
"The more capable you are, the more work you will do. I have something to trouble you with."
As he spoke, Li Qing pulled out a blood-stained stainless steel box from his arms.
That was the important "prop" that he had previously preserved at the cost of his life.
This small box contains the common dream of everyone except Li Qing himself.
"The enemy is coming for the boss's legacy. We must find the most reliable person to keep the legacy."
"I'll keep this box with you for now."
After witnessing the unreasonable strength of Star Platinum, Lee Sin frankly admitted that Jotaro was stronger and more reliable than him.
If Jotaro were to keep the box close to him, Li Qing couldn't imagine how the enemy would be able to get it.
"no problem."
Jotaro agreed readily.
He took the box from Li Qing and put it into his pocket very solemnly.
※※※
"Box, it's that box!"
"Prosciut told us before the war that the boss's legacy is in that stainless steel box!"
Meloni observed Li Qing and others at the station entrance from a distance, and his voice became distorted with excitement:
"Boss Risut, look..."
"The box was handed over to the muscular man whose hair and hat grew together."
"And from the looks of it, that muscular guy seems to want to break away from the main group and act alone!"
This is naturally a very unexpected good news.
The number of enemies suddenly changed from five to one.
As long as they can snatch the box from that person, the assassination team's ambition can be realized, and the sacrifices of Prosciutto and Bessie will not be in vain.
Therefore, Meloni, who was already feeling grief-stricken over this sudden turn of events, immediately became uncontrollably excited.
But Risut's reaction was extremely calm.
Because when Meloni was overwhelmed by the good news, Risut always maintained his most basic qualities as a leader, rationality and clarity.
“Calm down!”
"Do you think this is good news?"
"What can your enemy think of? Is it possible that he would not consider it at all?"
"Or do you think that these enemies who defeated the boss and Proshutter are fools?"
Lisut frowned slightly, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his calm tone:
"That tall man is not in our intelligence at all. Everything about him is unknown now."
"But since the enemy was so confident in handing the box to him for safekeeping..."
"If this is not a trap, then it can only mean that... this man possesses enough power to make us feel absolutely at ease."
"No matter which option you choose, the ending will not be good."
As he said this, Risut actually sighed, which was rare:
"Ah...Melony..."
"I advise you again, retreat."
Lisut has seen through the situation of this war:
Proshut, who had the greatest hope of success, is dead, and there is still no news of Jiaqiu and the other two who were sent to besiege the city and attack the reinforcements.
The enemy still has at least five people with full combat capability, among whom is a mysterious character with unknown intelligence but suspected to be extremely powerful.
The chances of winning are already slim.
Thinking of this, Risut was unwilling to continue this war that was almost lost.
If we retreat now... at least, we can save the lives of the remaining subordinates as much as possible.
"No...I won't retreat!"
Meloni still stubbornly wanted to fight this last time:
“I knew it was going to be dangerous.”
"So, Boss Risut, you don't have to take any risks. Just let my baby face do the work!"
"This way, even if Babyface fails, we won't suffer any loss at all."
He repeated his seemingly flawless logic.
Having said that, without waiting for Risut to say anything else, Meloni stubbornly released his Stand:
"Baby face——"
"Hurry up, it's your turn!"
Unlike other scenes where a Stand was summoned out of thin air, this Stand named Baby Face crawled over from the back seat of a car.
Because it is a special stand with entity, flesh and blood, which even ordinary people can see.
The main body of the baby-faced device is actually an "incubation prenatal education device" that looks similar to a laptop computer.
It can use the blood of any man, combined with the body of a woman of appropriate age, to produce a special "baby" in just three minutes.
This "child" will grow and learn quickly after birth, and eventually become a powerful remote automatic stand-in with self-awareness.
To put it bluntly, Meloni's stand ability is... giving birth to children.
The child born is actually a disposable tool. If it is used up, you can have another one, and if it dies, you won’t feel sorry for it.
At this moment, the child named "Baby Face" climbed over from the back seat at Meloni's call.
Its appearance is really hard to describe: a head full of spikes, a mouth full of fangs, a short body with strong muscles, it looks as hideous and weird as a smaller version of Cell.
However, this scary-looking little monster didn't show any dominance when he showed his head and spoke. Instead, he seemed a little timid:
"dad…"
It timidly called Meloni "Dad".
Because Meloni is indeed its biological father.
There is no way. The process of making a baby-faced person combat-ready is very cumbersome.
Putting aside the time spent searching for the mother, the forced birth and "early education" alone would take at least ten minutes.
Such a long preparation time meant that Meloni couldn't wait until the battlefield to temporarily pair up and give birth to a baby.
He had to give birth to the "child" in advance, and then complete the education and training of the baby-faced child before arriving at the battlefield.
But this time, things happened too suddenly and the time on the road was too tight, so Melonie didn't even have time to find a suitable father and mother.
He had no choice but to use his own blood to provide the father's DNA, and then took advantage of the time when he stopped to refuel at a highway service area to grab a woman who looked the right age and in good health as the mother.
In the end, this freak was born in such a muddle.
"Don't call me daddy!"
Meloni was obviously very dissatisfied with this child who was born at the last minute.
It's not because he doesn't want to be a father, but mainly because there is something wrong with the education of the baby face this time:
"Baby Face" will instinctively learn the behavior of its mother after birth.
Unfortunately, the woman who was temporarily captured to serve as the mother had a good physical condition and a high degree of genetic match with Meloni, and the "child" she conceived was also quite powerful...
But her character was so timid and cowardly that it had a very bad influence on her baby face.
"Keep your head up when you speak!!"
Meloni angrily lectured his "son".
If it weren't for the fact that it was so difficult to find a mother body with a high degree of match, he would have wanted to "abandon and start over" this timid baby-faced person a long time ago.
There was no other way, time was too tight, and thinking that at least the baby would be very capable this time, Melonie just endured it all the way:
"What did I teach you along the way?"
"You're a killing machine, understand? Killing machines don't need to be scared!"
"You were born to crush everything in your way like a steamroller. No one can resist your butcher knife!"
"Yes...I understand!"
The cautious expression that instinctively appeared on the baby-faced face disappeared immediately.
Instead, there was a beast-like rage.
This is thanks to Meloni's subsequent forced ideological education.
Under the indoctrination of his crazy values, this baby-faced man turned into a contradictory complex of being timid and cowardly by nature, yet cruel and bloodthirsty.
"Good... that's it."
"Believe in yourself - you are very capable and can kill anyone."
Seeing that his education was effective enough to reverse the influence that bitch had on Babyface, Melonie finally calmed down a little.
He casually encouraged the baby-faced boy a few more words.
Then, Meloni pointed to the train station square in the distance.
At this time, Jotaro and Li Qing and others have not yet completely separated, but Jotaro's tall and burly figure can still be well identified:
"Did you see that?"
"That tall guy is your prey!"
"Go quickly, tear him into pieces like a pizza, and bring back what I want from his body!"
Meloni gave the babyface an order in this murderous voice.
"good!"
The baby-faced man replied viciously in his still childish voice.
Meloni's acquired education was indeed very effective, so much so that this little monster, who was endowed with a timid nature by his mother, suddenly burst out with a strong murderous aura like a tiger or a lion.
It is a predator, born to eat meat and drink blood.
The self-aware baby-face thought angrily—
Its fangs have long been hungry and thirsty.
"Wait, Dad..."
"I'll kill that bastard right now!"
The baby-faced man leaped out of the car and turned into a phantom in the blink of an eye.
