Chapter 266 Metal Products
Since the day before yesterday, Li Qing has become a well-known "little star" within the organization.
Just like everyone in the world knows that Jotaro can stop time, now everyone in the organization knows that Lee Sin has the stand ability of "positioning mark + high-speed movement".
So, when they saw the fluorescent markings flashing on the swallow's body, they immediately knew that something was wrong.
The appearance of this mark means that Li Qing will take off at any time.
This swallow is not a "little angel" sent by God at all, but a bird of death that will force them into a desperate situation.
Fortunately, Risut's reaction was quick enough and he noticed something unusual as soon as the swallow flew into the carriage.
Meloni's action was timely enough. After being reminded, he immediately caught the swallow with his quick eyes and hands.
“Damn it!”
Meloni's hair stood on end and he shuddered as if he had been electrocuted.
Then, with the fastest speed and greatest strength in his life, he grasped the swallow with the positioning mark into a ball and threw it out of the car as if throwing a grenade that was about to explode.
The swallow was swept up by the strong wind with a shrill cry, and was thrown far away by the car in an instant.
The carriage seemed to be safe again. At least, they had temporarily escaped the deadly danger of being hit in the face by Li Qing's high-speed echo attack.
But Risut and Meloni were not reassured:
"That mark belongs to Li Qing. That swallow might be controlled by that kid named Giorno... They all caught up with us!"
"Our whereabouts must have been exposed. But why did this happen? Do they have some hidden means of tracking us?"
Meloni said in panic.
There was indeed something wrong with their intelligence work.
Their intelligence comes from the intelligence collected by the Passion Organization when Diablo was in power. However, this intelligence collected from the enemy's perspective is not detailed and may even lead to some subjective misunderstandings:
It only records in general terms that Golden Experience's abilities are "creating life" and "controlling animals and plants", and the content is very limited.
So until now, Meloni and Risut had no idea how their whereabouts were completely exposed to the enemy in such a short time.
But this question seems to be unimportant anymore.
Because soon after throwing the swallow out, Meloni saw in the rearview mirror with horror -
Behind them, on the highway bridge that was supposed to be reserved for cars, there was a bald man running wildly with his legs.
His speed was so fast that it was frightening. At least, it was definitely not a speed that a human could run at using their legs.
And even at such a speed as fast as a cheetah, the man's expression did not change at all, and his steps were not disordered at all.
He is like a machine that never gets tired. Every leap and every swing of his arms is so precise and powerful.
In this situation, Meloni was shocked to find that...
His four-wheeled car was gradually being caught up by the bald man with two fleshy legs .
"It's Li Qing!"
Meloni said with a grim face:
"What the hell...how can he be so fast?!"
Although the intelligence vaguely mentioned that Li Qing's physical fitness was far beyond that of ordinary people, Meloni had never thought that "far beyond that of ordinary people" meant "superman".
Being able to run out of the speed of a car with just a pair of legs is a level that many stunt doubles cannot achieve.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Meloni vented his inner panic, fear, and anger with a series of curses:
"Can't we even escape?"
Amid the roar, he decisively stepped on the accelerator.
The engine roared rapidly, and the car sped across the wide sea-crossing bridge.
But this no longer makes sense.
Although Li Qing's speed was not enough when facing Meloni's driving speed, which was enough to cause his driver's license to be revoked.
But he had already followed the swallow and ran close enough to the car when the enemy was unaware.
"Now you want to speed up and get rid of me..."
"It's too late!"
A loud shout came from far behind the car.
Then, Risut turned around to observe the enemy and immediately saw this scene:
While running at full speed, Li Qing approached the guardrail on the side of the bridge and leaned over to pull out a steel column from the guardrail.
These solid steels that were tightly welded together and designed to withstand car collisions were removed in such a large piece by his strong pull.
Then, Li Qing held the steel pillar tightly.
He used his powerful perception to firmly lock onto the position of the car, then quickly raised his arms to accumulate strength while running, and finally threw the steel pillar heavily out in a standard javelin throwing posture.
The steel column came through the air, and Risut's expression changed accordingly:
"Slow down!"
He shouted, and Meloni subconsciously stepped on the brakes.
Then, almost at the same time, the flying steel pole pierced deeply into the car tire like a spear.
The car, with one rear wheel destroyed in an instant, began to skid rapidly while driving at high speed and rushed uncontrollably towards the side of the bridge.
In the end, the car crashed into the guardrail and got stuck on the side of the bridge in a precarious situation.
Fortunately, Risut reminded us in time.
If they had not taken timely deceleration measures, they would most likely have followed the out-of-control car off the bridge and into the sea.
"Boss Risut, are you okay?"
Meloni slapped open the inflated airbag in front of him and staggered out of the car.
"I'm fine."
Risut also got out of the car in time.
Although he was lucky enough not to be injured in the car accident, his tone was not at all relaxed:
"For now...it's fine."
Looking at Li Qing who was chasing him quickly from the back road, Risut said the words "it's okay" with great difficulty.
He could almost foresee the brutal battle that was to follow.
Meloni, who had already been deeply frustrated by reality, could not accept such a desperate situation:
"The car has broken down, and Li Qing is right behind it."
"What should we do? Boss Risut, how are we supposed to escape?"
Faced with a powerful enemy, Meloni had no desire to fight at all.
This was not because he was frightened, but because he knew that this battle was indeed impossible to fight.
First of all, the baby-face that Meloni had cultivated with great difficulty was killed instantly by the "mysterious master", and now he has no "child" at all.
But now time is so tight and the enemy is right in front of him. He can't possibly give birth to another one on the spot.
In other words, Meloni is now almost like an ordinary person without the ability of a stand.
And Risut, he...
"We can only fight."
Risut didn't think as much as Meloni thought.
His tone was quietly filled with that reassuring calmness:
"It seems that Li Qing is the only one chasing after us for now."
"If we fight with all our strength, there may still be hope."
"But…"
Meloni spoke out his worries in panic:
"Boss Lisut, your metal products are probably no match for Li Qing!"
Risut's stand is called "Metalwork", which can use magnetism to manipulate iron sand, iron filings, and even trace iron elements in the human body.
This ability can be said to be very overbearing when used to assassinate normal humans.
As long as the enemy is within the range of the metal product's ability, Risut can make the enemy experience the nightmare of "a knife in the flesh" with just a thought.
Is there anyone in the world who can defend against a knife coming out of the body, and who can withstand the fatal injury of a blade growing out of the internal organs?
No one can do it.
But unfortunately, Li Qing is not a human being at all.
Judging from the intelligence, this guy has no concept of "injury" at all.
His body is similar to the virtual character in the arcade phone. As long as his blood volume is not depleted, his body will always be intact.
Even if you stab a knife into his head, his movements will not be affected at all.
In this way, the most powerful assassination ability of metal products is useless.
"You can't beat him!"
For the first time, Meroni questioned his captain's ability.
But such doubts are not out of malice, but out of genuine concern:
"How about this, Boss Risut..."
"Let me stop that Li Qing, and you can escape now!"
"You can't stop it."
Lisut said very calmly:
"Meloni, you can't buy time at all right now."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to walk ten meters before Li Qing will chase me again, waving his fist stained with your blood."
"I…"
Meloni choked violently.
He immediately said in a panic:
"Well, then, Boss, use your metal powers to become invisible!"
"Even if I can only delay for a moment, you can still use that moment to turn invisible and escape!"
“…”
Lisut looked at Meloni in silence:
"Li Qing is blind."
"Who am I hiding for?"
Hearing this, Meloni's face turned even paler.
He suddenly discovered that Li Qing's restraint on Lisut was almost all-round:
This blind man doesn't need vision at all, and the invisibility ability that Risut relies on to protect himself is meaningless in front of him.
"Stop it, Melonie."
“It’s too late for everything.”
Risut sighed deeply.
Although talking doesn't take much time in this world, Li Qing is so fast and the distance between them is so close that he has enough time to catch up even in a short time.
Before they could even try to escape, Li Qing had already stood in front of them with a menacing look.
"Boss Risut..."
Meloni swallowed, his voice as low as a terminally ill patient who knew he was about to die.
"Don't worry!"
Risut's voice remained steady.
No one knew what he was thinking, but he said "don't worry" very seriously in front of his subordinates:
"We lost this time. It was me who led everyone down a path of no return."
"So, Melonie, at least..."
"At least, I want you to survive."
Risut walked forward without flinching, his eyes remarkably determined.
The sea breeze is whistling and the water vapor is cool.

A tiny stand hidden inside the main body, with the ability to control nearby iron using magnetism.
It can cause the iron in the body of a person, animal or plant that enters the range of the stand to be excreted in various forms (blades, needles, scissors, etc.), while causing physical damage to the person by sharp iron objects and anemia due to iron deficiency.
It can make fine iron powder cover the body to form a variety of different colors, so that the body can blend into the environment, suitable for assassination work.
