With the goal of defeating Diablo, Lee Sin and Giorno officially became allies.

At the same time, the lava well was completely blocked by them.

"Let's go..."

"The American convoy is about to arrive. Let's leave here first and find a safe place to talk slowly."

Li Qing beckoned Giorno to leave, and Giorno quickly nodded and followed.

But at this moment, an uninvited guest suddenly appeared on their way.

"Is it you?"

Looking at the young man riding a motorcycle across the road in front of him, Li Qing frowned tightly.

His face did not look very good: in order to save this reckless and stubborn guy in front of him, he almost lost Giorno's life.

"Looking for a motorcycle?"

Li Qing pointed to the messy ground after being crushed by the meat and said, "Here, go and dig in the ground."

"Ha ha."

The young man had a smile on his face, completely lacking the ferocity and anger he had when he initially chased me with a gun.

He did not mention his stolen motorcycle and cell phone at all. Instead, he looked at Li Qing and Giorno deeply with a complex look full of excitement, curiosity and yearning:

"Hello, my name is Guido Mista."

"16 years old, freelance, my hobby is watching movies, and I hate everything related to the number '4'."

After introducing himself, the man named Mista excitedly extended his hand to Li Qing and Giorno:

"you…"

"Is it the kind of superpowers in the movies ?"

“…”

Li Qing and Giorno remained silent tacitly, and no one touched the hand that Mista extended.

But Mista was not aware of this subtle and awkward atmosphere at all.

He looked at Li Qing with great excitement: "One can fly and hide underground."

He looked at Giorno again: "A warrior who can summon gold and manipulate plants."

"Anyway, that horrible piece of meat... I saw the battle just now!"

"It turns out that 'saving the world' isn't just an excuse you made up to steal a car...it's all real!"

"You are the super-powered people who save the world in the movies!"

"Wait..." Li Qing and Giorno noticed something was wrong: "Golden warrior... piece of meat... can you see the stand?"

"A substitute? What is a substitute?"

Mista asked back in a tone that was not at all pretentious.

"Don't you have a double?"

Li Qing tried to explain the existence of the stand in a simple and understandable way:

"Just like the 'Pokemon' you can play in GB machines, a Stand is basically a 'creature' that you can summon, obey your commands, and possess some special abilities."

"Only the Stand User who has a Stand can see the Stands of others."

"Ah? I don't have anything like that..."

Mista replied with a confused look on his face:

"I don't know why, but I could suddenly see that huge piece of meat and the 'golden warrior' floating beside you."

"but…"

He thought about Li Qing's previous explanation and his eyes lit up instantly:

"From what you said, I... I am actually a superpower like you, right?"

"I see! I couldn't see it before, but then suddenly I could see it - I must have awakened some superpower!"

"Forehead…"

Li Qing and Giorno looked at each other, and they roughly understood the current situation:

The gangster in front of him named Mista was obviously a rookie Stand user who had just awakened his Stand ability and was completely unaware that he had a Stand.

"Anyone you rob on the street is a Stand user..."

Li Qing sighed helplessly:

"Are Stand Users like magnets that attract each other?"

“I’ve been here for half a day and I’ve encountered…”

He looked at Mista and counted the Stand users he had seen since he traveled through time:

"One... two... three... four..."

"ha?"

Mista was like a mouse that smelled a cat. He shuddered when he heard the number 'four'. "Isn't I the fourth one?"

“…”

Li Qing gave him a strange look: "No, you are the fifth..."

"That's good."

Mista breathed a sigh of relief, and then approached Li Qing and Giorno very familiarly, and asked expectantly:

"Tell me, do I have super powers too?"

"If I have super powers, why haven't I sensed it yet?"

"Can you teach me how to use this superpower?"

"Save the world or something, can I also participate?"

“…”

A series of annoying questions came out of Mista's mouth, like a loud speaker that could not be turned off.

At this moment, the 16-year-old boy, who usually did nothing but watching movies for his greatest pleasure, suddenly discovered that it seemed possible for him to become extraordinary, from a passerby to a protagonist, just like in the movies.

Yes, from Mista's perspective, he is now completely the protagonist of the movie:

The ordinary life of a 16-year-old gangster, a bad boy looked down upon by the world, was disrupted by a sudden adventure. Not only could he see huge monsters that ordinary people could not see, he also encountered a super-powered person who fought against monsters, and he himself seemed to have awakened some special abilities.

It would be a shame if this script wasn't made into a movie.

Li Qing and Giorno, two people with super powers who are strangers to him, are obviously the "guides " who lead the protagonist onto the extraordinary path at the beginning of the movie and act as babysitters and mentors along the way.

Especially the bald Li Qing...

If this look were put in a Hollywood movie, it would clearly be an "Oriental monk who masters mysterious qigong"!

then…

In the face of Mista's extremely expectant gaze, the two "guides" responded:

"No time."

"The fact that you can see your Stand means that you have actually awakened your ability."

"Just take your time to figure it out, don't bother others."

Giorno, who was only 13 years old, used a mature tone to give a lecture to Mista, who was three years older than him.

"Don't look at me."

"Do I know you well?"

Li Qing's answer was much more concise.

He just glanced at Mista briefly and was about to tell Giorno to leave.

Li Qing, who was being hunted, had no interest in wasting time on this "strange guy" whom he had never heard of and who didn't even know what the ability of a Stand was.

“Hello…”

Mista was somewhat disappointed with Li Qing and Giorno's cold attitude:

"Don't go!"

"Can't you teach me how to master that Stand ability?!"

As he said this, he rode the motorcycle like a piece of taffy that couldn't be shaken off and blocked Li Qing and Giorno again.

"What do you want?"

Li Qing frowned and said very seriously:

"I'm telling you clearly, I'm doing something extremely dangerous now."

"If you get too close to me, you might get implicated, or even die—just like what happened just now."

He wasn't kidding at all.

There's no telling when the killer sent by Diablo will come again. If you get too close to this unreliable rookie, you'll most likely be implicated.

In Li Qing's eyes, Mista is just an ignorant passerby. He doesn't think that Mista can survive a battle of that magnitude like Giorno, the natural protagonist.

He ignored Mista because he was really doing this guy a favor.

However, after hearing Li Qing's extremely solemn warning, Mista became even more excited:

"Something extremely dangerous?"

"Yeah... that's it, exactly like in the movie!"

"senior!"

He said to Li Qing excitedly: "Take me into the industry!"

“…”

Li Qing and Giorno were speechless for a while, then they looked away tacitly, walked around Mista and continued walking forward.

“Wait a minute!”

Mista caught up again .

Li Qing and Giorno still ignored him and took a detour in silence.

Mista caught up for the third time, and blocked their way with his motorcycle sideways:
