Chapter 264: Not Died in Vain
Although Baby Face was very dissatisfied with the guy who could only hide in the dark and type on the keyboard.
But dad is dad, and he has to obey no matter how scared he is.
Meloni's orders were absolutely impossible to disobey.
Since he couldn't disobey, the baby-faced man could only try to calm down in this helpless situation:
"It's okay...it's okay..."
"The enemy just has some... a lot of brute force."
"Dad's analysis was correct. That guy probably didn't notice me..."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't just step on me and leave."
While Baby Face was forced to keep chasing his prey, he kept comforting himself in his heart:
"In this case, what just happened is just a coincidence."
"That big guy has no way of seeing through... well... probably no way of seeing through my disguise."
"In that case, I can sneak up on them and launch an unexpected attack."
"Victory... maybe, possibly... there is still hope."
As he thought about it, although his tone was still a little undecided, at least Baby Face was no longer so timid.
Just like when a person encounters a tiger in the wild, he must not turn around and run away...
Since you have to go anyway, you might as well go with more confidence and boldness.
This way one can die with more dignity, and before dying one may even have the illusion of being possessed by Wu Song.
This is the state of Baby Face now.
It was both afraid and confident, and with conflicting emotions it caught up with Jotaro and came to the bridge where a fierce battle had just taken place.
It also heard the screams from under the bridge, but it didn't take it to heart at all.
Baby Face is now like a crocodile lurking in the water, with only its prey in its eyes.
And its stealth method is really as hidden as a crocodile:
In order to avoid being discovered by Jotaro, it broke its body into a pile of small pieces from dozens of meters away.
The fragments became about the same size, color and shape as the concrete on the bridge deck.
Using the principle of a chameleon blending into the environment, the fragmented baby face began to lie on the bridge and slowly move forward.
The whole process is silent and very covert.
Most people probably can't see anything at first glance, and only by careful observation will they discover an abnormal raised "cement" on the bridge deck.
"Have you found the enemy?"
"Hurry up and do it!"
Meloni's urging voice sounded in his mind again.
The baby-faced man was so upset by the yelling that he answered rudely:
"Found it! Don't rush me!"
"If you force me to act immediately, I will just die in vain!"
Although the words were unpleasant to the ear, Meloni still listened to them.
He no longer remotely controlled Baby Face's actions, but allowed Baby Face to play freely under the premise of "must attack".
The baby-faced character was very tough when he responded to the original character.
As it got closer to its prey, it inevitably became panicked:
"He can't see me... He can't see me..."
"It was just a coincidence... just a coincidence..."
As if chanting some kind of meditation mantra, the baby-faced boy kept using such mumblings to soothe his fragile and young heart.
But no matter how it comforted itself, as it got closer and closer to Jotaro, the psychological trauma caused by the previous severe kick on it couldn't be controlled and broke out.
Finally, Babyface had sneaked to Jotaro's feet.
And the string in its brain was unknowingly stretched to its limit.
The arrow is on the string and must be shot.
Baby Face knew that one of him and Jotaro would have to die next.
Fortunately, Jotaro really didn't seem to notice it, and what happened before seemed to be just a pure coincidence.
Now Baby Face was close to Jotaro's feet, but Jotaro was still concentrating on chatting with Polnareff, paying no attention to his surroundings at all.
"Okay... here's a chance."
"I will definitely win!"
The excitement in Baby Face's heart reached its peak.
Taking advantage of the courage accumulated through constant self-encouragement and the opportunity when the enemy was completely unaware of it, it finally jumped out of the ground with dignity.
And just at this moment, when Baby Face mustered up the courage to take off his disguise...
Jotaro turned his head suddenly:
"Hmm? Something feels wrong."
He said this with a frown.
The baby-faced man not far from his feet was immediately frightened out of his wits:
"It's over!"
"I was discovered after all!"
All the previous self-comfort and self-encouragement came to nothing.
At this moment, Baby Face felt that the enemy must have some kind of perception method, so he could always find out what was wrong so accurately before he attacked.
And considering the irresistible strength and speed that the enemy had previously demonstrated, if I were to be exposed like this...
Then the next second it will be beaten into rice cake alive.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
"Where should I escape to?!"
At this moment, time seemed to freeze.
The baby-faced creature didn't dare to continue its attack. It instinctively and subconsciously wanted to dig a hole and hide itself.
But it was definitely too late to dig a hole on the spot, and there were no other obstacles around to help it hide.
The only place he could hide was the car parked nearby.
then…
Baby Face is like a frightened rabbit...
Jotaro just turned his head and said "It doesn't feel right", and it whooshed away.
But in the blink of an eye, the baby-faced boy trembled and hid his body perfectly under the car.
Only then did it feel like listening to Jotaro's next words and hearing what he was trying to say was wrong:
"Polnareff, did you notice that?"
"The screaming stopped."
Jotaro didn't even turn around to look at the baby-faced boy, but instead discussed unimportant things with Polnareff .
"Maybe he's dead."
"That thing has been burning for a while."
Polnareff sighed softly.
Although the enemy's character is bad, his tenacity as a fighter is definitely enough.
Being able to endure the agony of burning fire for so long before dying, this enemy named Illuso is truly respectable.
But Jotaro's answer seemed a little scary:
"No... maybe not dead yet."
"If you die in the water, you should float, but there are no bodies in the water or on the shore."
"What?"
Polnareff was suddenly startled.
He immediately leaned over the railing and looked carefully under the bridge:
As expected, Illuso’s body was not to be seen.
"That's impossible... there's no way you can survive that kind of injury!"
"How far can he go now?"
Polnareff said in shock.
“To be able to…walk…here…”
“That’s enough!”
A hoarse and difficult voice suddenly sounded on the bridge.
Jotaro and Polnareff looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the humanoid fireball that was struggling in the water not long ago had climbed back onto the bridge without them knowing when.
There was not a single piece of healthy flesh on his body, and he looked like a dried corpse that had crawled out of the abyss.
Even the fire in his body has not been completely extinguished.
These flames were using his body fat as fuel, madly burning his remaining life.
"Asshole..."
"Giving me a 'dagger', are you pitying me?"
"If you think I'm going to commit suicide like this, you're totally wrong!"
Illuso tightly grasped the short sword made of iron.
The dagger was stained with gasoline, and the blade was burning with the same flame as that on Illuso's body.
"Even if I die..."
"I won't tolerate such humiliation from you!"
Illuso let out his final mad roar.
In his eyes, Polnareff's kindness was a complete humiliation from a condescending attitude.
The great shame of not being able to complete the mission and being treated kindly by the enemy inspired his last bit of strength, allowing him to crawl back here.
Then, under the slightly shocked gazes of Jotaro and Polnareff, Illuso used up the last bit of strength in his body and threw the flaming dagger towards them from a distance:
"Give...all...to me..."
“Go to hell!”
The flaming dagger was thrown out.
But I don't know if it was because I didn't have the strength to throw it in the wrong direction, or if Illuso did it on purpose...
The dagger did not fly towards Jotaro and Polnareff, but flew straight towards the car where the two were parked.
"No, get out of the way!"
Polnareff was shocked:
"His target is that car!"
"ha?"
The baby-faced boy hiding under the car's heart skipped a beat.
It had just hidden here and had no time to pay attention to the strange smell around it, nor had it time to observe any abnormal situation outside.
When it calmed down and regained consciousness, it suddenly heard Polnareff's rapid roar:
"That car was leaking oil—"
“It’s going to explode!”
※※※
Three seconds later.
Illuso fell to the ground after throwing the dagger.
Given the severity of his injuries, he was able to hold on until here only because of his unwillingness to accept humiliation.
Once the flaming sword was thrown out, this spirit was dissipated.
"This is my final attack..."
Illuso fell to the ground and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
His life had completely come to an end, and now he didn't even have the strength to raise his head to observe the effects of his attacks.
But despite this, he could still hear the loud noise of the car's fuel tank exploding after the flaming dagger was thrown.
He could even hear, behind the loud noise, a burst of heart-wrenching howls of agony coming faintly from the raging flames.
"I heard screams..."
"It seems... my efforts... have not been in vain..."
Before his death, Illuso suddenly felt an indescribable sense of relief:
"I...I didn't die in vain."
"At least, someone will be buried with me."
Killing one will break even, killing two will make a huge profit.
Even if you fail to kill the enemy, it's still not a loss if you can injure the enemy.
With this feeling, Illuso died happily.
But before he completely lost consciousness, a question that he had no time to think about emerged in his mind:
"Why does this scream sound so terrible..."
"Like a little kid?"
