Chapter 53: Testing
The streets are very quiet.
Passersby and businesses nearby had already fled in all directions after the commotion in the restaurant.
Thanks to Naples' "good" security environment, many of them have witnessed the brutal scenes of mafia fighting on the streets.
So, after learning that there was a madman openly provoking the Mafia in the restaurant, the innocent people nearby instinctively stayed away from here.
At this moment, apart from two rows of cars parked neatly on the side of the road, there was nothing else blocking the way on this wide road.
This is a good thing for Li Qing:
His extremely sharp super hearing can play its true role even more in such a quiet situation.
So, the moment the blond boy shouted "Aerosmith", Li Qing heard the hum of an airplane propeller in the sky:
"Was there a propeller plane passing by? No..."
"The sound of a normal airplane would definitely come from far away and approach, it is impossible for it to appear suddenly like this."
"There's no doubt about it... this is a Stand attack!"
Li Qing instantly confirmed the location of the enemy's Stand and immediately shouted to Giorno beside him:
"Be careful, the enemy's stand-in is in the sky!"
Soon, Giorno also discovered the stand with a unique shape:
It was an airplane, a small but fully equipped propeller plane that looked like a toy model airplane.
It kept hovering at a height of more than ten meters, as if it was busy looking for an enemy.
"Hahaha…"
The blond boy laughed wildly, his voice slightly exaggerated:
"It's no use finding out!"
"You can't possibly win my 'Aerosmith'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the "toy plane" flying low in the sky suddenly dived like an eagle, and aimed the two miniature machine guns on the fuselage at Li Qing and Giorno on the ground.
Although they are so small that people may look down on them, the noise these two miniature machine guns make when firing is just as powerful.
The crisp and loud gunshots rang out in the air like firecrackers, followed by a dense rain of fire and bullets like a storm.
"hide!"
With his extraordinary hearing, Li Qing reacted much faster than Giorno.
He instantly turned on the data mode, then grabbed Giorno and quickly hid behind a car parked on the side of the road.
Bang bang bang bang!
The bullets missed their target and hit the car, making a deafening metal collision sound.
By the time the flames died down and the smoke cleared, the car's sturdy tempered glass had been shattered by bullets, and the steel body of the car was riddled with bullet holes.
“Tsk tsk…”
"Although it looks like a toy, its power is not much less than that of a real gun."
Li Qing said with a hint of emotion.
"This Stand is indeed very strong."
"Its flying movements are very flexible. If someone is deliberately controlling it, I'm afraid your 'Sky Sound Wave' will have a hard time hitting it."
"It is also equipped with powerful long-range weapons that can easily attack our main body."
"If we fight it at a distance, we will definitely be the ones who suffer."
Giorno raised his head and looked solemnly at Aerosmith who was changing his flying posture in the air and quickly preparing for the next attack:
"So, it's better to find a way to directly attack the opponent's body."
"Li Qing..."
"I'll have to leave that to you."
He said to Li Qing meaningfully: "I think you should understand the current situation."
"clear."
"Don't worry... I'm not that stupid."
Li Qing nodded without hesitation, then rolled out from behind the car.
He did not use any skills, but simply mobilized his strong body and pounced on the blond boy like a swift cheetah.
Just by sprinting, Li Qing's speed was already fast enough.
Even the "Aerosmith" flying in the sky did not have time to change his posture to attack, and he had already rushed to a sensitive position less than ten meters away from the opponent.
But the blond boy laughed instead:
Fool!
Is it so easy to fall into the trap?
The blond boy, Panacote Fugo, thought so easily.
That's right, the guy who stood alone in front of Li Qing and Giorno and deliberately shouted out the name of "his own" stand was not Narancia, the owner of "Aerosmith", but Fugo who possessed "Purple Smoke".
This was just a little trick he and Narancia usually used to deal with their enemies.
Let Fugo come out alone first, pretending to be the owner of "Aerosmith" to cause misunderstanding among the enemy.
Naranja hid in the dark and quietly manipulated the "Aerosmith" to launch long-range attacks, causing the enemy to subconsciously come up with the simple idea of "attacking the main body" after suffering from fire suppression.
Then, some stupid enemies will rush towards Fugo regardless of the consequences, just like Li Qing is doing now.
"Stupid..."
"Once you rush into the range of my Purple Smoke, your life will be over!"
Fugo's stand is called "Purple Smoke", which can release a deadly killing virus, causing the infected enemy to die from the poison in just half a minute.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a terrifying existence that brings death upon touching.
The only drawback is... Zi Yan looks too scary. Normal people would subconsciously know not to get close to her at first sight.
But now, Li Qing didn't even know Zi Yan's existence.
He seemed to really regard Fugo as the master of Aerosmith, and kept rushing towards him regardless of anything.
Just like that, ten meters, nine meters, eight meters, seven meters, six meters...
“Five meters!”
"He's within range of my Stand!"
A cold light suddenly flashed in Fuge's eyes, and he immediately summoned his stand-in: "Go ahead, Zi Yan!"
In a flash, a purple humanoid substitute instantly appeared in front of Li Qing.
This is a guy who looks very scary:
It was wearing ancient Roman armor, its face was covered with translucent goggles, and its entire body was covered with evil purple and white patterns, giving people a natural sense of oppression.
A pair of dazed and lifeless pupils were filled with rage and madness, and the mouth with sutures on it made horrible and strange babbling sounds, and disgusting saliva kept flowing out.
This stand-in named Zi Yan reflects the lingering and uncontrollable madness in Fuge's inner world.
And on its pair of fists, there are three spherical "capsules" growing on the fist bones on each side.
This capsule contains the killer virus that kills anyone on contact.
"For Bucciarati's dream..."
"Please go to hell!"
Fugo strengthened his determination to kill, and Zi Yan immediately swung a fatal iron fist at Li Qing.
At the same time, a virus capsule on the fist burst instantly as Zi Yan punched, pouring out the light purple deadly poisonous smoke in all directions.
If Li Qing was touched by this smoke, he would definitely die.
However…
"Oh... So this is the way to attack."
He smiled faintly, as if he had expected it.
At this moment, time seems to stand still.
"Little devil..."
"Do you think I can't see through such childish tricks?"
Li Qing faced the purple poisonous smoke and calmly explained:
"Putting aside your poor acting skills, which would have given you two and a half years of practice to become a young actor..."
"For an ADC who specializes in long-range attacks to be so arrogant and expose his true form, this is already very suspicious!"
"Not to mention, all the irrelevant people on this street have already run away."
"Without the interference of passers-by, your companion who was hiding in the corner and playing with the 'remote control airplane' was as obvious to my ears as lice on a monk's head!"
Trash talking is an essential skill for a gamer.
Therefore, there is always an irritating mockery in Li Qing's voice when he is commentating.
While Fugo was enraged, he was also shocked:
"You've seen through it a long time ago? Then why did you rush over here?!"
"Ha ha…"
"The range is five meters. It's a humanoid stand. Its punching speed and power are both higher than mine. Its attack method is... from the outline, it releases some kind of toxic smoke."
"If I hadn't rushed over, you wouldn't have told me this information yourself, right?"
Li Qing replied in a leisurely tone.
Then, at the moment when Zi Yan's fist filled with deadly poison was about to hit him in the face...
Li Qing's figure, which had been lunging forward, suddenly turned around and flew backwards in a strange manner: "Golden Bell Cover!"

PS: Stand-in panel
Stand-in name: [Purple Smoke]
Ontology——Panacott Fogg
Destructive power: A
Speed: B
Range: C
Sustainability: E
Movement precision: E
Growth: B
Ability: The capsule on his fist contains a killer virus. If infected by this virus, creatures without antibodies, including humans, will decay and die within 30 seconds. Even Fugo himself will die if infected, and there is no way to remove the infection.
The spread of the virus is not resistant to light, and will die even if it is exposed to indoor light for 10 seconds at night. Although it has self-awareness, its intelligence is very low and it is extremely violent, so the main body cannot completely control the spread of the virus.
