Chapter 54: The Second Easter Egg
Zi Yan's fist ended up missing nothing.
The lavender poisonous mist lingering on the fist gradually spread uncontrollably in the air, and then quickly lost its activity and faded under the sunlight, eventually returning to nothingness.
At this time, Li Qing had already moved to Giorno's side unharmed.
The battle returned to the situation at the beginning when the two sides were confronting each other across the street, but Li Qing's side had already obtained what they wanted.
"How about it?"
"Do you have anything to say about that blond kid?"
As soon as Li Qing stood firm, he started to discuss the battle situation with Giorno.
Although his perception is so sharp that he can even sense the poisonous fog in the air through the tiny changes that occur when sound waves pass through different media, a blind man with superpowers is still a blind man after all, and no matter how good his hearing is, it cannot completely make up for the lack of vision.
Fortunately, he now has reliable teammates to help him:
"have."
Giorno answered without hesitation:
"You said that the outlines you can perceive are very vague, so you shouldn't be able to detect such subtle changes."
"The poisonous smoke released by the substitute is colored, and the color of the poisonous smoke becomes lighter and lighter from the inside out until it disappears completely, centered on the substitute, which is the source of the poisonous gas."
"That means..."
He sorted out his thoughts a little:
"The poison gas released by that stand will probably lose its activity within a few seconds after leaving the storage device."
"So, this means that the poison gas can only linger around the stand-in, at a distance of about two meters at most. It has no time to spread further and will quickly disappear into the air."
"Understood."
Li Qing understood what Giorno meant:
"As long as we don't get within two meters of the double, we should be safe."
"Well, let me tell you a little discovery..."
He immediately seized the opportunity to tell the information he had:
"I have sensed it through my hearing. The boy playing with the airplane in the back is now in a small alley several dozen meters away."
"From that position, it is absolutely impossible to see this side with the naked eye."
"But just now, his aircraft stand-in accurately locked onto our position and launched a highly precise fixed-point strafing attack."
"That is to say..."
"That aircraft stand-in has some special detection means that can lock onto the target without visual observation."
"Sound wave tracking, heat tracking, gas tracking, and even more mysterious tracking with thoughts... All of these tracking methods are possible. The specific answer requires more careful observation before we can determine it."
Giorno and Li Qing quickly exchanged information, and Fugo's face immediately became much uglier:
"Damn... one round..."
"It was only a one-round fight, but they both understood everything about my and Narancia's Stand abilities!"
"It's really not easy to get the throne of the head cadre of Naples."
Fugo sighed deeply, his eyes looking a little serious.
After Li Qing and Giorno understood the enemy's Stand ability, they looked at each other in tacit understanding:
"Well, let's get started!"
There is no need to waste words. Just by observing the combat power composition of both sides, they can determine the next tactics to adopt.
Giorno summoned the Golden Experience and focused on guarding against Fugo's actions.
Lee Sin relied on his hearing to firmly lock onto Naranja who was hiding in a distant alley, ready to kill this unprotected, fragile ADC instantly as soon as the fight started.
"Heavenly Sound Wave!"
Li Qing turned around, and a brilliant white light burst out from between his fist bones.
The dazzling ball of light drew a simple and brilliant straight line in the air, and flew towards Narancia hiding in the corner at lightning speed.
At this moment, he already had a 99% chance of winning:
"The kid playing with airplanes..."
"You can't see what I'm doing now through these walls, right?"
"When you see the sound wave coming through the wall, it will be too late to dodge."
"You hid in the dark and plotted against me, but in the end you ended up hurting yourself!"
The facts were just as Li Qing expected.
Because of the obstruction of many walls, Narancia, who was hiding in the alley and secretly controlling his substitute, could not see the white ball of light flying straight towards him.
The flying speed of the Sky Sound Wave is very fast. Even if the distance is dozens of meters, if the opponent cannot detect its existence in the first time, ordinary humans will not have time to dodge it.
So at this point, the result is no longer in suspense.
“Hit!”
The sound wave successfully hit the target, and Li Qing's system interface immediately responded: "Echo Shot!"
Without hesitation, he used the second stage of the Echo Strike's assault capability and flew rapidly towards the location where the Sky Sound Wave was locked.
Echo Shot is Li Qing's most powerful attack method. As long as it can hit the enemy's Stand User's body with all its strength, there is a high probability that it can end the battle directly.
The balance of victory tilted further towards Li Qing.
However…
Li Qing, who had already entered the high-speed charge state of Echo Slam and was flying towards Naranja at high speed, suddenly found something wrong:
“Something’s wrong!”
"Why...why didn't that blond kid shout out loud to warn people!"
Li Qing, who was eager to win, quickly followed up with an Echo Slam, but he was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat:
"The 'little plane' can't see my sound waves, but that blond kid can."
"Even if I warn him loudly, it won't be enough for him to dodge my Heavenly Sound Wave, but if a normal person sees his companion being attacked, he will warn him loudly anyway, right?"
" Is it because I punched too fast and the blond kid didn't react?"
"Or..."
Li Qing already had a very bad premonition.
However, the cooldown time of Golden Bell Cover is as long as twelve seconds, and his W skill is still on cooldown. He is also in the high-speed attack state of Echo Shock, so it is too late for him to take any remedial measures.
He could only remain extremely vigilant and fly towards the target locked by the Tianyin wave.
that's all…
Li Qing's "empty" body quickly passed through the obstructions of cars, trees and houses, and passed through the wall of the alley where Narancia was hiding.
Only three meters away, his fist could hit the opponent.
At this time, Li Qing could already see clearly the enemy he casually called "little plane", that is, Narancia, whom he had never met before:
The muscles under the tight vest were slightly bulging, and the slightly immature face was full of determination. The most important thing was that when facing Li Qing who broke through the wall, there was not a trace of fear in Narancia's clear and bright eyes.
"You're here at last."
A calm and firm voice sounded slowly.
But this was not Narancia's voice, Narancia's mouth did not move at all.
However, there was no one else in this alley except Narancia.
"this!"
"The sound didn't come from his mouth, but from his body... Could it be?!"
Li Qing's face froze, and he immediately discovered something even worse:
"Oops!"
"My sound wave didn't hit that 'little plane' at all, but..."
"Sticky Fingers!"
A powerful roar suddenly came from Narancia's stomach.
It was then that Li Qing discovered:
The positioning mark of Tianyin Wave was not imprinted on a blue fist, a blue fist that protruded from Narancia's stomach in a very strange posture.
The next moment...
Sizzle——
With a clear zipper sliding sound, Narancia's body suddenly "split" from top to bottom from the neck to the abdomen, just like a potato chip bag that was torn open.
This is a zipper, a zipper installed on Naranja's body.
Behind the opened zipper, Bucciarati and his stand "Steel Chain Fingers" crawled out alive from the stomach of the "host" Naranja like mature alien larvae.
"A man who can anger the boss and still survive is definitely not a simple man. I already expected that Fugo's little tricks would not fool you."
"But this little trick can make you let your guard down."
"Just like the audience who thought the movie was over and left early, you, who have seen through the first trick, will subconsciously not consider the existence of the second 'Easter egg'!"
"so…"
The steel chain finger swung out its powerful fist, fearlessly facing Li Qing who was coming through the air:
"You've fallen into the trap again, Li Qing!"
※※※
PS: Stand-in panel
Stand Name: [Steel Chain Fingers]
The real person - Bruno Bucciarati
Destructive power: A
Speed: A
Range: E
Durability: D
Movement precision: C
Growth: D
Ability: When the Stand hits something, a "zipper" will appear. The zipper can be used to open and close space without damaging the surface of the object. It can be used for storage, sneaking, and even connecting objects and wounds. The friction of the zipper can also be used to slow down, and the opened object can be turned into soft cloth for defense. Opening the zipper can even speed up sliding on the ground.
