Chapter 290 Rohan's Perseverance
At this moment, Li Qing's fist was deeply embedded in Rohan's skull on the shore, and the scene looked extremely weird.
But Rohan Kishibe remained motionless.
It was as if he could not feel the presence of Li Qing's fist at all, and his expression quickly returned from surprise to calm:
"What color?"
Kishibe Rohan glanced at the top of Li Qing's head:
"Green. The top of your head is green."
"I heard that this color has rich meaning in the Dragon Kingdom, especially when it appears on a man's head."
He answered Li Qing's question with a hint of joking, his voice still carrying that annoying calmness.
But Li Qing was in deep shock:
Teammate, the system actually identified this annoying bastard as a teammate?
I clearly regard this guy as an enemy, but the system regards him as a companion. This has never happened before.
But this has clearly shown that Rohan Kishibe did come with good intentions.
He not only has good intentions towards me, but also shares the same ideals and is trustworthy.
Although Li Qing had no idea that this guy was his companion, the system judged it that way.
"Who are you?"
This is the third time Li Qing has asked this question.
This time he did not show any hostility, but was simply filled with confusion and curiosity.
But Kishibe Rohan still refused to give a direct answer:
"I have already told you my identity."
"Your ability can also prove that I am indeed a companion on your side."
"And what you really want to ask is why I know your origins and why I came to find you, right?"
"That's right." Li Qing nodded expectantly.
Kishibe Rohan, however, continued to turn the pages of the book that materialized from Jotaro's body with great concentration, while answering in an evasive manner:
"As a cartoonist, when I reply to readers' letters, I never answer questions related to the plot direction."
"After all, if the most important suspense is revealed in advance, the story will fall apart in an irreversible way."
He emphasized the word "collapse" and his expression became inexplicably serious.
But Li Qing couldn't stand such perfunctory treatment:
"Don't play tricks!"
"It's impossible for a cartoonist from a foreign country to know our origins for no reason - tell me, is there a third party behind this? Who is instructing you?"
"Or... someone among us has already had his past read by you, and then had his memory erased by you using that evil substitute ability?"
"Haha...you have such a vivid imagination."
"But none of that matters right now."
"The important thing is that you have been able to confirm that I am your 'companion'."
Rohan Kishibe completely ignored Li Qing's uncontrollable restlessness. He was still calmly flipping through the pages of the book on Jotaro's body.
This behavior of snooping into other people's privacy is very immoral.
But Rohan Kishibe, who was completely immersed in collecting materials, had already forgotten everything in his excitement.
Just when Li Qing couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to continue beating people, Kishibe Rohan suddenly said to himself:
"Very good... I have seen the content related to 'Diablo'."
"He is indeed a very scary guy... He is indeed not easy to deal with."
He read through Jotaro's memories carefully, and the enthusiasm on his face gradually cooled.
"Don't worry, I really am your friend."
"I will help you deal with that Diablo... This is the promise I made."
Kishibe Rohan took out his paintbrush again.
In front of Li Qing and others, he completely erased the order that he had just written on Jotaro.
Jotaro was immediately freed, and Star Platinum was freed from being forced to serve as a bodyguard.
Kishibe Rohan removed his defenses himself, but Li Qing and others hesitated, not knowing how to deal with this mysterious and difficult "companion".
"You said you would help us deal with Diablo..."
"So what exactly are you going to do?"
"Um…"
Kishibe Rohan pondered for a moment, then said seriously:
"I'll go back to drawing comics first."
"I collected a good story today. It would be a pity if I didn't draw it quickly."
“…”
"You're fooling us again!"
Li Qing gnashed his teeth in anger: Is this guy who likes to play tricks really a companion? Is the system wrong?
"Ha ha."
Kishibe Rohan continued to answer with his annoying chuckle.
Then, amid the puzzled or wary gazes of the crowd, this mysterious foreign cartoonist leisurely packed up his paintbrushes and sketchbooks, calmly putting on an elegant and relaxed smile.
He was like a hermit in a TV drama, who suddenly appeared on a cloud, left a few incomprehensible prophecies, and then disappeared in the mist.
No one could understand his intentions or his origins.
He just left with a smile and left behind only an unfathomable mystery.
But, at this moment...
Li Qing flashed by and blocked Rohan's way with his muscles tensed.
"Don't waste your saliva."
"I will naturally say what I should say, and I will just refuse no matter how many times you ask me what I shouldn't say."
Kishibe Rohan said this calmly .
"I'm not here to ask questions."
"Since you are my 'companion', I will not force you to speak."
A smile finally appeared on Li Qing's lips, the kind that came from being angry.
"But don't forget... I still have a promise to keep."
"Promise?" Rohan Kishibe vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
"Yeah...did you forget?"
"I just said - you're going to get a beating, Kishibe Rohan!"
"Ah, ah?"
Kishibe Rohan's irritatingly arrogant expression finally turned into panic:
"Why do you still want to hit someone?"
"I am your companion...Aren't you supposed to not harm your companions?"
"That means you don't know me well enough."
"I just ca n't cause damage to my teammates with my fists and skills."
"But if we use some external objects or weapons..."
Li Qing grinned and broke off a bowl-thick table leg from the coffee table. He held it in his palm and waved it with a gust of wind:
"Don't even mention hitting someone."
"It's okay even if I 'deny' my teammates."
Hearing this, Kishibe Rohan's face suddenly turned green.
He really wanted to use his stand ability to protect himself, but the bald man blocking his way was blind. The Heaven's Gate, which required the opponent's original manuscript to activate, had no effect on Li Qing at all.
“Wait…wait!”
"I'm your companion! Stop!"
Kishibe Rohan said in a panic:
"I'm telling you, if you hurt me badly..."
"I won't be able to help you with what's going on next - this will cause big problems!"
"Oh? Help?"
Hearing the other party's ambiguous statement, Li Qing was really hesitant.
"It doesn't matter."
However, Higashikata Josuke stepped forward in time:
"Mr. Li Qing, feel free to fight."
"As long as he has a breath left, my Crazy Diamond can save him."
“…”
Kishibe Rohan's face turned even greener.
However, Li Qing had already raised the stick in his hand high, and said with a sneer:
"No matter what, it is a very bad behavior to casually snoop into other people's memories."
"Even if they are companions, they need to be punished for doing such a despicable thing."
"You can't escape this beating."
"unless…"
Li Qing "showed mercy" and gave a lenient condition:
"Unless you tell me everything you know, I might consider sparing you the pain."
Kishibe Rohan's face turned blue and red, and it was obvious that he was unwilling to endure such pain.
But, there was almost no hesitation...
The cartoonist gritted his teeth and replied:
"It's a rough and direct deal...but I refuse!"
"My favorite thing to do is to say NO to those self-righteous guys!"
“…”
Li Qing was silent for a while, and then he said with great emotion:
"You would rather be beaten than tell anyone. It seems like you really have some difficulties that you cannot show to others."
"In that case..."
"Josuke, don't treat this guy."
"Ah, ah?" Kishibe Rohan's tough expression disappeared in an instant: "No! If you hurt me, something serious will happen! Someone will really die!"
"I didn't say I wouldn't treat you."
"No matter what, you are still our 'companion' after all..."
Li Qing clenched the stick in his hand, and his smile became more amiable:
"So, I specifically replaced Josuke and asked Giorno, who has saved our lives countless times, to treat you."
"Is his healing ability stronger?" asked Rohan Kishibe expectantly.
"No."
Li Qing smiled and replied:
"It hurts more to breastfeed him."
※※※
A few minutes later.
Kishibe Rohan walked out of the Dongfang family with unsteady steps.
Although he looked fine and was actually very healthy, his face was filled with fear, as if he had just crawled out of hell.
"Demons... these guys are all demons!"
Kishibe Rohan sighed with lingering fear.
Li Qing’s “physical education” is actually bearable, but when Giorno uses gold experience to give him physical treatment... that will be a real nightmare!
Whenever he thought about the pain, Rohan Kishibe couldn't help shivering.
"But... the information is indeed correct..."
A wild smile suddenly appeared on Rohan Kishibe's face, which was full of pain.
He carefully checked the watch on his wrist, then looked up at the sky of Morioh Town that seemed to remain unchanged:
"The real story is about to begin."
