Chapter 267 A Touching Beginning
Risotto is a person who appears to be silent, cold and unapproachable, but actually values feelings very much.
He committed murder in order to avenge his nephew, which is why he fell deeper and deeper into the underworld.
His former relatives stopped contacting Risut after he became a gangster killer.
During the five years in the Passion organization, the "relatives" that Risut valued most were his subordinates and his companions.
When it comes to ambition, wealth, and power, he is not as enthusiastic as Gacho and Formaggio.
But what Risut could not tolerate was an insult.
The organization's disregard and contempt for the assassination team over the years was an undisguised insult to him and his companions.
Of course, this hatred is not Li Qing's fault, but after enduring so many years of humiliation, the assassination team is no longer willing to continue the life of being subordinate to others.
They want to take back their dignity in the most dangerous and glorious way.
That is to realize our common and grand ambition.
So, when this opportunity came and everyone was eager to take action, Risut finally chose to agree.
The consequence of this decision is...
Ten minutes after entering Venice, the assassination team was almost wiped out.
"If I had not chosen to agree, if I could have gotten everyone to put aside their ambitions..."
"Surely the situation will be much better than it is now?"
It was extremely rare that this usually strong man felt meaningless regret like those weak people.
He knew it was useless to think about this now, but he just couldn't control it.
"call…"
Risut took a deep breath and quickly brought his consciousness back to reality.
In reality, in front of him were not his living companions, but the enemies approaching him——
Li Qing, the man who allegedly defeated the boss, approached aggressively.
His lifeless eyes stared at him coldly, murderous intent flickering faintly in his pale irises.
“That’s terrible.”
Risut is acutely aware of the difficulty of his situation:
The difficulty comes not only from the fact that the enemy has caught up with us, but also from the dangerous environment here.
This is a cross-sea bridge, a cross-sea bridge far away from the land.
There are naturally a lot of iron things on the bridge - guardrails, street lights, steel bars inside the bridge, and even the scrapped car.
But the iron was totally useless.
Because Risut's ability can only control smaller iron, he can't control iron blocks heavier than a fruit knife.
If he were on land, he could also use the iron sand in the sand as a weapon.
But on this clean bridge deck, between the sea and the land, he had no iron sand to use.
Iron blocks that are too heavy cannot be controlled, and suitable iron sand and iron filings are nowhere to be found.
The only iron he could use at this moment was probably the small amount of iron stored in the human body.
"The raw materials that can be used to make 'weapons' are too limited, which will greatly limit the capabilities of metal products."
"Not only can Meloni not help, I also have to protect him from being targeted by Li Qing."
"This battle... is indeed difficult."
Risut's face was full of solemnity.
At this moment, Li Qing had already tentatively approached him and Meloni.
Although the other party might not act rashly out of caution, Risut knew that Li Qing would not remain idle forever.
As long as he made a tentative attack, this delicate balance would soon be broken.
"what to do…"
Risut's brain was working rapidly.
Every object and every environment nearby appeared in his mind one by one.
The battle situation is unfavorable, and he must find the only possible chance of victory in this despair.
At this time, Li Qing broke the silence aggressively:
“Hello…”
"Aren't you going to do anything?"
"It's obviously two against one, so you should be the ones with the advantage, right?"
"You clearly have the upper hand, but you are still stalling for time like you are facing a formidable enemy. You should know that my companions are right behind you. The longer you delay, the worse your situation will be."
"Then why don't you just start?"
Li Qing did not take direct action out of caution, but his verbal attacks were just as sharp:
"Could it be that..."
"I am the one who has the upper hand now?"
He asked this question with bad intentions.
Meloni's heart started beating faster and even Risut's breathing became a little heavier uncontrollably.
This uncontrollable physiological reaction instantly reached Li Qing's ears.
He relied on this "lie detection" ability to roughly infer the current situation:
"It seems to be the case..."
"Then I won't be polite!"
Li Qing stopped watching and rushed forward boldly with his fists raised.
And his tactics are also very "despicable":
He did not provoke Risotto, whose heartbeat was steady, but instead focused on the obviously panicked and disoriented Meloni and punched him hard.
Seeing Li Qing suddenly turn around and pounce on him like a vicious tiger descending from a mountain, Meloni was so panicked that he didn't know what to do.
There is no way, now he only has a "computer" left.
Does he want him to beat Li Qing to death with the keyboard?
Meloni really didn't know how to respond, so he could only stumble back instinctively.
Fortunately, Risut came to the rescue in time:
"Metalwork!"
The tiny stand hidden in Risut's body took effect instantly, and an invisible magnetic force swept across Li Qing's whole body under Risut's control.
At this moment, the iron elements in Li Qing's body quickly gathered at his knee joint.
The next second, a pair of sharp scissors suddenly "grew" out from his knees.
The scissors suddenly got stuck in Li Qing's joints, almost causing him to stumble and fall to the ground.
Li Qing's attack was stopped.
He had to give up attacking Meloni and tried hard to steady his body which was about to fall due to the jamming of his joints.
But what silenced Risut and shocked Meloni was...
This kind of serious injury, which can cause disability to ordinary people, has the following impact on the health bar above Li Qing:
"-1%"
Li Qing's health dropped slightly at an imperceptible rate.
Risut and Meloni couldn't even see the blood loss with their naked eyes. The full red blood bar was restored without a single gap in just two seconds.
The situation is simply desperate.
They knew that Metal couldn't kill Li Qing instantly like ordinary people, but they never expected...
The damage caused by metal products is so low that it can almost be ignored.
Seeing this scene, Risut and Meloni both looked unhappy.
But these are the rules of the digitized body:
The system calculates damage based entirely on the strength of the attack.
To be honest, it would be less effective to hit Li Qing directly .
"Is this the extent of the damage..."
"If it's any lower than the first point, then my blood recovery won't be as fast as mine!"
Li Qing immediately regained the feeling he had when facing Bessie.
Not only does Risut's Metalwork do as little damage as Bessie's Beach Boy, it also doesn't exhibit the "hard control" effect that Lee Sin fears.
Li Qing bent down and casually pulled the scissors out, and the wound healed as before.
The scissors felt like ordinary scissors, and the attack just now obviously only had a temporary delaying effect.
"Hey, hey...your Stand ability..."
"Will it not just make knives grow inside people's bodies?"
Li Qing vaguely guessed Risut's stand ability.
Of course, he could only see the "knife growing inside the body", and he could never imagine that Risut's ability was actually to control iron.
Because according to Li Qing's knowledge, an adult's body contains only 4 to 5 grams of iron.
Even if all the iron in the human body was taken out, it would definitely not be enough to make a pair of scissors.
But there is no way...
Li Qing finally forgot...
This is not Earth, and science doesn't apply here.
However, the impact of misjudging the enemy's Stand's abilities doesn't seem to be significant.
Because Risut's breathing, which became increasingly heavy in the silence, had already vaguely proved his inferiority in ability.
"If this is all your Stand ability is, then it will have no effect on me at all."
There was inevitably a hint of relief in Li Qing's tone.
Then he turned around and questioned Meloni further:
"And you, you who always have a disordered heartbeat."
"When I attacked you just now, not only did you not make any move to fight back, you even completely panicked."
"That physiological reaction is not an act—"
"That is to say, for some reason, you have no fighting ability at all now, right?"
Every word Li Qing said hit Melonie's heart hard.
His heartbeat couldn't help but speed up again.
This behavior is undoubtedly an admission of guilt.
He made it easy for Li Qing to see the situation clearly:
"One is a complete burden with no fighting power."
"One is that the Stand's abilities are basically restrained by me."
"My God... Such a smooth start..."
Li Qing was suddenly so moved that he wanted to cry.
When he first came to this world, he was still clamoring for a "high-difficulty gaming experience" just like when he played games before.
But now, two days later, Li Qing no longer thinks so.
Because the difficulty of this game is so great, so great that it is completely beyond imagination.
This is just like some tourists from other places who think they can eat spicy food but cry because of the spicy hotpot in Bashu...
Li Qing thought he was pretty good at playing games, but when he got here, he saw—
This is not playing games at all, this is playing with your life!
If you take a wrong step, you will die without a burial place.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall the miserable beatings he had suffered at the hands of various gods over the past two days, and the countless times of despair he had experienced along the way.
Meat, Dio, cockroaches, Diablo, Prosciutto, these difficult or terrifying beings emerged in my mind one by one.
Think about it now...
For the first time in history, the enemy will be so weak, the advantage will be so great, and the difficulty will be so low.
Li Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"Ha ha ha ha…"
"I, Old Li, have never fought such a rich battle before!"
