Chapter 292 Bombing Space
Li Qing did not make it up.
The fact that there was really someone hiding in that abandoned house was extremely suspicious in itself.
Not to mention that the other party has been hiding on the second floor and spying on the Dongfang family, and no one knows what his intentions are.
At such a sensitive moment, the reason of "what are you looking at" is enough to trigger a life-and-death battle.
So, after noticing the other party's suspicious behavior, Li Qing, who was lacking an excuse to leave, immediately came to the door aggressively:
"There's definitely something wrong with the people in this room."
"Coming to spy on us at a time like this..."
"Even if they have nothing to do with Diablo, they are probably not good people."
Li Qing decisively identified the identity of the mysterious resident.
Giorno and Polnareff immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
They quickly summoned the Golden Experience and the Silver Chariot, and followed closely behind Li Qing who had already turned on the data, approaching the gloomy haunted house.
Then, there was a rustling sound coming from the old house that seemed to be uninhabited.
"Those two guys went downstairs."
"It seems that they intend to fight us openly."
Li Qing used his super hearing to predict the opponent's actions.
Sure enough, as he said, they had just pushed open the rusty iron gate and walked into the weed-covered courtyard of the old house when the door of the old house was pushed open by someone from inside the house.
A tall, unfriendly-looking young man with short, bright hair in a slicked-back style, wearing a high school student uniform, strode out.
This guy has an overly ferocious face, and at first glance he looks like a bad boy, the kind that doesn't even need makeup to play a gangster or school bully.
"Hey... asshole!"
"What do you guys want to do by breaking into my house?"
Before Li Qing and others could say anything, the bad boy started to yell and curse aggressively.
"Your home?"
The other party acted like a host and chased them away, but Li Qing didn't buy it at all:
"You don't mean to say that you are just residents living here honestly, do you?"
"Don't waste your breath. Putting aside the blatant snooping before, just now..."
"At this moment, there is a guy who is afraid of being seen in the light hiding in the house behind you, sneaking around and aiming at me with a double."
"I heard the roar of the engine, the creaking of the tracks, the rotation of the propeller, and a large number of tiny footsteps."
"In other words... that guy's stand-in is actually a miniature modern army?"
“…”
Hearing these words, the bad boy's face suddenly changed:
"You actually described my brother's 'Evil Squadron' in its entirety..."
"To be able to perceive so much information just by using your ears...is this really something a human can do?"
He really didn't expect that the bald man in front of him would have such a strong insight.
In front of Li Qing's super hearing, he and his brother had nowhere to hide.
"Eitai, calm down."
A deep male voice soon came from the room.
Since Li Qing revealed his existence as soon as he opened his mouth, there was no need for him to hide it any longer.
This young man, who was also tall and burly, had a fierce look on his face, and was also wearing the same black student uniform, but had bright blond hair and a pair of deep red eyes, walked out from the shadow of the old house.
He had a stern expression and a calm demeanor, and was clearly the leader between the two.
"Who are you?"
"Why do you want to spy on the Dongfang family?"
Li Qing asked rudely.
"Nijimura Kyōsho."
He gave his name very clearly, without disguising the hostility in his tone:
"As for why I want to spy on the Dongfang family..."
"All I can say is that I have some issues with that guy Higashikata Josuke."
Nijimura Keicho obviously had no intention of explaining his purpose.
But everyone present could hear the strong smell of gunpowder in his voice.
"Brother?"
The young man called Yitai obviously couldn't be as calm as his brother said:
"W-Do you want to do it?"
"That bald guy looks tough!"
“…”
Nijimura Gyosho's face darkened instantly. He seemed very dissatisfied with his brother's cowardly behavior before the battle.
"That's enough! The enemy is already at your doorstep, what are you still fantasizing about?"
"Think about it carefully. Didn't we come to Morioh Town to discover more Stand users?"
"The stronger the enemy, the more likely we are to achieve that 'goal'!"
He spoke in a serious tone, words that Li Qing couldn't understand at all.
Then, I heard Nijimura Kyosho start to teach his brother a lesson in a serious tone:
"Yitai..."
"This is not a game!"
"The [Bombing Space] you possess is so terrifying that it makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it. Control it well!"
"As long as you can use your power perfectly, we can defeat any enemy!"
"Got it...Brother."
Nijimura Okuyasu's expression gradually became fierce as his elder brother scolded him :
"Let me teach !"
He instantly summoned a tall, muscular, and burly humanoid substitute.
This majestic humanoid stand-in, coupled with his innate vicious temperament, really gives off a suffocating sense of oppression.
Li Qing, Giorno, and Polnareff all became serious.
Although they had not yet figured out the other party's identity and purpose, their previous secret surveillance had already shown that they were enemies, not friends, and were clearly not good people.
And now the other party has no intention of communicating properly, so fighting is inevitable.
"That guy's Stand should be a powerful melee stand."
"Until we understand the capabilities of that Stand, everyone should be careful not to get close."
Polnareff made a cautious assessment of Nijimura Okuyasu.
"That's right, you and Giorno should stand further away first."
"Leave the job of testing to me."
Li Qing habitually plays the role of pioneer.
With a digitized body, he has more capital to commit suicide than others, so he always volunteers to charge forward.
The same is true this time.
Giorno and Polnareff both consciously stood behind Li Qing.
Li Qing, on the other hand, approached Nijimura Okuyasu in front of him with an upright attitude.
"Bomb space!"
Nijimura Okuyasu took action.
At this moment, Bombing Space suddenly raised his right arm high.
"Hmm?" Li Qing immediately became alert:
Why did the enemy raise his right arm?
Is it to perform a powerful hand-knife slash like the Crimson King?
No... he hadn't gotten close to the substitute yet, so its knife attack now would definitely not hit anyone.
In the blink of an eye, Li Qing's vigilance reached its peak:
This must not be a simple ordinary attack, but a stand ability!
The action of raising the right arm is probably the "pre-swing" before releasing some powerful skill.
That guy must be using some kind of Stand ability to attack me while I was still standing several meters away.
Li Qing instantly realized that the guy who looked like a simple powerful melee stand must have some kind of long-range attack method.
So, at the moment when the right arm raised high in the bombing space fell heavily...
Li Qing instinctively burst out at maximum speed and dodged to the side like a phantom.
While dodging, he also reminded his companions behind him:
"Get out of the way! That guy has the ability to attack from a distance!"
Giorno and Polnareff both received the signal from Li Qing.
They all avoided the direction of the hand knife that was slashing down from the air in time and tried their best to dodge to the side.
But this is already a bit slow.
Giorno and Polnareff are just ordinary people after all. Li Qing can drag out phantoms when he runs, but they can only try their best to dodge at human speed.
At this time, the humanoid substitute named Bombing Space actually used its hand knife to cut through the air... and waved its hand to cut out an invisible and colorless space wave!
The invisible spatial fluctuations swept out in the direction of the hand knife, completely engulfing everything that was blocking the way ahead.
Bricks, stones, soil, plants, and even the air were all annihilated into nothingness in this spatial fluctuation.
At this moment, a ditch visible to the naked eye appeared on the surface.
And the next moment, the courtyard wall that originally stood several meters away was strangely pulled several meters closer by this attack, so that it appeared directly in front of Nijimura Oyasu.
This scene is extremely strange and frightening.
Everything that had just blocked the space fluctuation disappeared, and the only thing left was a courtyard wall that had been "shifted".
Fortunately, Giorno and Polnareff were able to dodge in advance with Li Qing's reminder.
Polnareff was unharmed, but Giorno's arm was hit by the spatial fluctuation because he was a little slow.
A smooth cross-section appeared on his arm, and the skin and flesh outside the cross-section disappeared neatly.
Giorno decisively used the Golden Experience to heal his minor injuries.
The lost flesh and blood was quickly restored, but he never dared to relax:
"What kind of ability is this..."
"The lethality is a bit too strong."
"It's space... This is the ability to erase space!"
Polnareff said with a grim expression.
He saw the shockingly deep ditch on the ground. The soil and bricks that originally filled it had completely disappeared from this world.
This scene, this ability, gave Polnareff an absurd and indescribable sense of familiarity.
Just like Illuso's mirror man before, Nijimura Oyasu's bombing space also made him recall a long-buried memory.
And this memory is even more cruel and even more unbearable to look back on.
"I've seen similar abilities before."
"We paid an irreparable and heavy price to barely defeat that bastard who could devour space."
Polnareff's voice became extremely serious.
The seemingly simple and honest Nijimura Okuyasu was even as intimidating as Diablo in his eyes:
"Li Qing, Giorno, please be careful——"
"This enemy is very strong."
