Chapter 58 The dust has settled
The scales of the goddess of victory are like a seesaw with naughty children sitting on both sides, and the situation may be reversed at any time.
This is something every Stand user should understand.
As a strong man who honed his sharp claws in the darkness, Bucciarati never lets down his guard in battle.
However, even he couldn't imagine why Li Qing still had the confidence to turn the tables:
"I removed all my hands and feet, my body is unable to move, and my health bar is also in tatters..."
"What other cards does he have?!"
Bucciarati was rarely panicked.
He tried his best to think and speculate on the counterattack measures that Li Qing might take, but in the end he could only endure the endless torment caused by the unknown in this long and almost frozen time.
And at this moment, when time begins to flow...
Bang!
Bucciarati staggered slightly.
In fact, there was no sound during this process, but he suddenly felt something attacking his back. The attack was not very powerful, just like someone slapped him lightly on the back.
"What is it..."
"What just hit my back?"
"It's Tianyinbo."
Li Qing gave the answer promptly: "That is what you understand as the 'positioning light group'."
"How is that possible!"
Bucciarati's eyes widened in shock:
"You were lying on the ground in front of me, how could you attack my back with that move?"
"etc…"
An idea suddenly came to his mind, and his expression became extremely ugly.
Then, Bucciarati turned his head suddenly and saw what he had guessed in his mind:
That's an arm.
One was hanging on a roadside tree a few meters behind him, and the fist was aimed squarely at his right arm.
"Ha ha…"
"Have you understood it?"
Li Qing, who had lost both arms and his right leg and was lying on the ground like a human stick, smiled calmly:
"Even though my body is lying in front of you, my fist can attack you from behind without you noticing!"
"This is all thanks to your amazing ability, Bucciarati..."
"The hand that was removed by the zipper looked broken, but it was actually connected by some kind of spatial ability."
"Since I can control the fingers on my 'broken arm' to pull the trigger in an inexplicable way, then by the same token -"
"I can also remotely control this arm that has been separated from my body and use my 'stand ability'!"
"And you..."
If he hadn't lost his arms and legs, Li Qing would have wanted to strike a powerful pose like Giorno when using his ultimate move:
"You removed my arm to prevent me from counterattacking, but it turned my arm into a 'hidden turret' that you couldn't even notice!"
“…”
Bucciarati was deeply shocked:
"I see... Even though you broke your leg just now, you still jumped forward desperately. In fact, you were not running away at all, and you were certainly not struggling to survive."
"You did that just to lure me forward and chase me, leading me to the place where that right fist was aimed at me, and let me step into the trap!"
“I hadn’t noticed it before…”
"Your counterattack begins the moment you fall into a disadvantage."
At this moment, Bucciarati finally figured everything out.
But it was too late to say anything now. The sound wave emitted by the broken arm had already hit him solidly, and the positioning mark that appeared afterwards began to emit white light on his back.
With this mark, nothing can stop Li Qing's attack.
"So…"
Li Qing's momentum reached its peak: "Echo Shot!"
The second stage of the charge ability was activated in an instant.
The strange thing is that although Li Qing now looks like a human stick with broken hands and feet, his body is actually "intact".
The effect of Echo Slam requires Lee Sin to rush to the enemy's side...
then…
At the moment when the echo shot was activated, Li Qing's torso fell to the ground, his right arm hung on the tree, and his left arm and right leg were scattered on the road...
These separated "parts" were like a dinosaur team entering a combined transformation state. They rose into the air from all directions and converged towards the location marked by the Tianyin wave positioning.
Finally, Li Qing's scattered body gathered into a whole in the air.
At the same time, his high-speed iron fist, containing terrifying power, also unreservedly leaned on Bucciarati's back.
"Well!"
Bucciarati suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell forward due to the huge force on his back.
With just one strike, he was seriously injured.
What Li Qing just hit was the vital part of his spine near the neck. If this critical area where nerves and blood vessels are intertwined is suddenly hit hard, ordinary people will even die on the spot.
Fortunately, all the Stand users are Wolf Mies who can continue to fight even after their hands and feet are cut off.
Bucciarati's physique was still pretty good; he was just knocked unconscious.
In fact, Li Qing's body was only temporarily spliced together by the effect of the skill:
The zipper on his body did not disappear because of this. If the attack state of Echo Strike ended, his body would still fall to pieces because of the zipper being pulled open.
But now, Bucciarati was knocked unconscious by a punch.
The steel chain finger disappeared instantly as the main consciousness fell asleep, and the stand ability it exerted on Li Qing was also completely lifted.
Li Qing stopped his fists, stood firmly, and his body became a whole again.
The battle is over.
※※※
"it hurts…"
Bucciarati woke up drowsily from the darkness, and the sharp pain in his back instantly awakened his brain.
He tried to move his body, but immediately he could hardly breathe because of the pain from the large, red and swollen wound.
Finally, after trying two or three times, Bucciarati, with a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, struggled to support himself on the ground with his hands and slowly raised his head.
This lift...
He saw a black hole in the muzzle of a gun.
The dark muzzle of the gun was so close to his eyes that at this moment, Bucciarati could even clearly see the fine and intricate spiral rifling in the barrel.
"Li...Li Qing?"
Bucciarati called out the name of the man in front of him, and asked breathlessly:
"How long have I been unconscious..."
"How are Fu-Fu Ge and the others?"
"Don't worry."
Li Qing replied with a strange look:
"You're a pretty strong guy... You were only unconscious for a minute or two."
"but…"
A hint of coldness suddenly appeared on his face: "Next time you fall asleep, you will never wake up."
As he spoke, Li Qing pressed his pistol against Bucciarati's head:
"Bucciarati."
"You should be aware of this! If you want to kill someone, you may end up being killed instead. You should always have this [dangerous awareness]."
His finger began to slowly pull the trigger, and the firing pin of the pistol slowly pulled back in a fatal arc under the ingenious mechanical movement.
The next moment, death will come.
“Of course I have this awareness…”
"But I know there's no bullet in your gun..."
"Since you want me to be your companion, how could you kill me so easily?"
Bucciarati's expression was not tense at all, but rather relieved:
"Li Qing, I understand what you mean..."
"You want me to know that I already owe you my life, right?"
"I'll go on an adventure with you to challenge the boss. No matter how bad the outcome is, it'll only be death. Since I've already owed you my life, I can go with you without any burden, no matter how dangerous and terrifying the task is."
"Haha...you're right."
Li Qing laughed freely:
"But you bet on the wrong thing... there are bullets in my gun."
"And what I mean is not as complicated as you think. It can be summed up in just two sentences."
"Follow me, live."
"If you don't agree, you will die."
He showed a very dangerous smile:
"Bucciarati, a man like you wouldn't do anything that goes against your promise, right?"
Li Qing has only watched two episodes of JOJO and is not a crazy fan.
Except for Giorno, who supported each other through life and death, he did not have the slightest affection for the other so-called "original characters".
From the enemy's perspective, Li Qing would never do such a stupid thing as letting the tiger go back to the mountains.
From the perspective of the game, he would not let go of the experience that was right in front of him.
And the shouting of “Ali ali ali” just now and the miserable sight of the broken arms and legs really made him feel angry.
If Bucciarati refuses to surrender...
He really can kill people.
Bucciarati's answer was:
"I'm sorry...I can't agree to that."
He faced Li Qing's gun calmly and said with a resolute look:
"If it's just my life, I can do anything."
"But... Fugo, Naranja, Apache... they shouldn't be dragged into such a precarious situation because of my choice."
"The boss has noticed our team..."
" If I, the captain, defect, they will never be able to distance themselves from the matter."
Unlike Bucciarati who chose to rebel in the original film.
At this time, Bucciarati had never witnessed the cruel scene of the "scumbag boss" killing his daughter, and still had great illusions about the organization and his boss.
Without the stimulation brought by such unexpected events, it would be difficult for him to make up his mind in a short period of time.
But…
"companion?"
"How can you be so sure that they can escape if you die?"
Li Qing said with a strange look:
"Bucciarati... Haven't you ever thought about that..."
"Why didn't I go support my teammates instead of staying here chatting with you?"
