Chapter 297: The Obstructed Trial
Li Qing really felt that there was something wrong with Nijimura Keisuke's brain.
The problem with his brain is not stupidity, but his indifference to life.
Li Qing is a person who cherishes life. Even though he regards this world as a game, after , he is unwilling to kill innocent people.
Killing people requires experience, and although ordinary people provide very little experience, the benefits of mowing the grass by force are definitely easier than fighting against substitutes.
Killing innocent people indiscriminately actually only benefits him.
But Li Qing always sticks to his principles.
Maybe he is now a person with superior super powers, but he has been an ordinary person for twenty-three years before that, so he only habitually looks at things from the perspective of an ordinary person.
As an ordinary person, I live my life honestly, happily and peacefully, eating hot pot and singing songs...
And then suddenly he was shot to death with an arrow by some passing Stand user, chopped to death with a knife, poisoned to death with fungus, or died of old age with mist... Is there any justice in this!
Therefore, Li Qing has always tried hard not to harm the lives of ordinary people, even though those passers-by are just insignificant NPCs in his eyes.
However, he later discovered that the principles he adhered to were a joke in the eyes of some people.
Diablo, Jocrat, and a bunch of scum raised by the Passion Organization...
To them, human life is like worthless toilet paper. Using you to wipe their butts is a favor to them.
“Is human life really so worthless?”
"Nijimura Gyousho, you should know that the probability of that arrow activating a Stand is only one percent, right?"
"Ninety-nine percent of people will die in the 'trial' after being hit by an arrow, and only one person out of a hundred will survive to awaken the Stand ability."
"The abilities of the awakened Stands vary, and there are only a few Stands with strong destructive abilities."
Li Qing roared at Nijimura Kyosho in anger:
"Use your pig brain to calculate carefully, what is the probability of success of this plan?"
"How many people do you have to kill to find the Stand ability that can achieve your goal?"
"Nijimura Gyoucho, are you using human lives to buy lottery tickets?!"
The probability of success of that stupid patricide plan is actually smaller than buying a lottery ticket.
But Nijimura Keicho has been buying these lottery tickets that have almost no chance of winning, and he never gets tired of it - it's not his life that he's spending it on, so he can buy as many tickets as he wants.
"I...I..."
Facing Li Qing's questioning, Nijimura Keisuke's expression was extremely ugly.
It's not that he suddenly had a change of heart.
This is actually just like the murderers in those legal programs. They basically don't realize that they are guilty before they are caught. Once they are handcuffed to the "confession chair", they will suddenly burst into tears and confess.
People’s situations are different and their moods are also different.
After falling from a predator to a piece of meat on the chopping board, Nijimura Gyosho was finally able to empathize with the victims.
"I what me?"
"Think carefully, how many people have you killed so far?"
Li Qing continued to judge Nijimura Keisuke's sins without mercy.
"I have no idea."
Nijimura Keicho couldn't answer at all.
Just as a person cannot remember how many pieces of bread he has eaten, he could not count how many lives he had killed.
"And Angelo."
"That bastard was also released indirectly by you."
"He killed several more people after he got out of prison, including Josuke's grandfather!"
"Nijimura Gyousho, all of this will ultimately be blamed on you!"
Li Qing gritted his teeth and said:
"You are guilty—"
"If you are guilty, you should pay with your life !"
At this point, the air was already filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Li Qing did not hide his murderous intentions. Even the stupid Nijimura Okuyasu knew what he was going to do:
"You, you want to kill my brother?"
"No... please..."
"My eldest brother...he..."
Nijimura Okuyasu really wanted to say something for his elder brother.
But even with his simple concept of good and evil, his dull but pure and clean brain, Yitai could not say the word "innocent".
He knew what terrible things his elder brother had done, and Xing Zhao's actions were definitely not innocent.
"Stop talking, Eitai."
Nijimura Kyosho suddenly knelt on the ground with a dejected look.
He looked down at the arrow in his hand, and vaguely seemed to see the blood of countless innocent people on the blade:
“People should be responsible for what they have done.”
"I am guilty, there is no denying that."
"Now that Li Qing wants to kill me, it is what I deserve."
As he spoke, Nijimura Kyosho slowly raised his head and looked directly at Li Qing.
He put on a posture ready to be killed, his expression full of relief:
"Kill me and let me pay for my sins."
"But Yitai is completely innocent..."
"You can see, too, that he has a brain that is not capable of doing evil."
"I see."
"Your sin has nothing to do with your brother. I will never do anything to him."
Li Qing calmly gave Nijimura Kyosho his final promise:
"So... Nijimura Kyōcho..."
“It’s time.”
The restrained murderous intent surged in his heart, and he raised his knife high, imitating the Crimson King.
According to Li Qing 's current level of strength, his hand knife is no less powerful than a real blade, so it is not a problem to cut off that fragile flesh and blood body.
With this knife strike, Nijimura Keisuke will go to hell.
However, at this moment...
Giorno suddenly stood up.
He did not stand in front of Nijimura Keicho. Instead, he stood next to the monster father with a strange look on his face, and next to the heavy wooden box that the monster father was holding.
"What's in this box?"
Giorno suddenly spoke up, grabbing everyone's attention.
"I have no idea!"
When talking about that monster father, Nijimura Gyosho's expression became very distorted:
"That monster has no intelligence at all. He is just going crazy."
"That box is just a prop for him to vent his madness. What he did is meaningless!"
"Yeah…"
"I don't think so."
"It's just a hunch, but I feel that your father...may still have a human soul left."
Giorno expressed his thoughts in a complicated tone.
As he said this, he even squatted next to the monster dad without any disgust.
He gently pried open the tumor-ridden arms, slowly opened the box, and finally picked up a few rotten fragments from the empty wooden box.
"It's just garbage!"
Nijimura Gyosho didn't want to see his father's crazy behavior at all.
That would only trigger painful memories of the past few years and make him furious.
"No… this doesn't seem like trash."
Giorno carefully distinguished the withered yellow fragments in his hand:
Although it had been severely corroded by the passage of time, he could still vaguely distinguish that this was...
"A photo, it's a photo!"
"Your father has been holding on to this box all this time, just for this photo!"
Giorno said this in a deep voice that didn't match his age.
"What? Photos?"
Nijimura Okuyasu came over with a look of surprise.
He took the fragments from Giorno and took another look...
Two lines of hot tears immediately rolled down:
"This, this is our old family photo!"
"Brother, big brother... Dad has always been protecting our family portrait--"
"He didn't turn into a monster, he still remembers us and his past life!"
"Dad...he's always by our side!"
“…”
Nijimura Keicho was instantly shocked for a long time.
He always regarded his father as a pathetic monster, so he didn't even want to look at him.
And now... someone told him that his father has always retained human consciousness?
"Then what on earth did I do before?"
Nijimura Kyōcho said while crying bitterly.
For a moment, Yitai was crying, Xingzhao was crying, and even the monster father burst into tears because of his two sons' tears.
In the end, the family, which had been estranged for a long time, even hugged each other and cried loudly.
The atmosphere in this gloomy attic suddenly changed, and the horror film turned into a warm family film.
But Li Qing's expression was extremely embarrassed:
The Nijimura family suddenly had a family reunion, but he was determined to make Nijimura apologize and offer sacrifice to the heaven.
The father and his two sons hugged each other with tears streaming down their faces. It was really hard to bear to separate them.
As a result, he seemed to have become the villain.
"Hey... Giorno."
Li Qing walked up to Giorno and whispered in a complicated tone:
"You do this..."
"Are you trying to stop me from judging Nijimura Gyoucho?"
Everyone is familiar with each other. Li Qing knows that Giorno never does anything without a purpose, and everything he does has a profound meaning.
And this time, Giorno obviously wanted to stop him from killing people.
"Yes..."
"That's exactly what I meant."
Giorno sighed softly and answered helplessly.
"But Hongcun Xingzhao is guilty."
"He killed so many people, he should pay for it."
Li Qing expressed his thoughts righteously.
He has his own , and Nijimura Keicho happens to be within these principles.
"I understand what you mean. Nijimura Gyousho really deserves to die."
"But, putting all that aside for now..."
Giorno paused slightly.
He was too familiar with Li Qing.
Li Qing could see through his thoughts, and he could easily see through the phenomenon to the essence in front of Li Qing:
"Li Qing, to be honest..."
"Are you almost leveling up by experience?"
