Chapter 8 Diablo
The boss behind the Passion organization is named Diablo.
The meaning of this name in Spanish is "devil" or "devil".
His mother was a lowly prisoner, his father's identity was unknown, and he was raised by a gentle and kind priest.
The strange thing is that the priest himself was a loyal and devout believer in God, but he gave his adopted son a devil's name.
But I have to say, this name is not wrong——
Diablo is a born devil.
When he made his debut as a teenager, he emotionlessly killed his biological mother who gave him life and his adoptive father who raised him. He also killed all the neighbors who knew him and burned down the village where he had lived for nineteen years.
After establishing the Passion organization, countless innocent people died at his hands.
Most evil people kill and do evil just to satisfy their own desires and to fight for two very vulgar things: women and money.
And Diablo didn't enjoy any of these things.
In order to prevent his enemies from discovering his true identity and to secure his position as the underground king, he has been living a low-key life in hiding since he established the Passion organization.
He needed a woman, but was afraid to leave any trace of his existence, and dared not let the news leak out, let alone have offspring.
Therefore, every time before releasing his desire, he has to find a suitable target in advance, prepare safety measures and handle the aftermath. Going to bed is more tiring than going to work for others.
Of course, Diablo also possesses a huge fortune.
But he is usually busy hiding from place to place. In order to keep a low profile, he only takes the most ordinary public transportation and stays in the cheapest civilian hotels.
He didn't marry, buy land, or have children. He didn't love money at all. Money had no meaning to him.
So…
Why did this man do evil?
He does evil just for the sake of doing evil.
Just like people eat food, dogs eat shit, and Dio eats bread, Diablo is a natural born Dark Destroyer. For him, killing and doing evil is like an instinct.
As long as he can sit firmly on the throne of the boss of this organization, he can drive the continuous expansion of the Passion organization and bring more pain and chaos to the world.
And those enemies who attempt to replace his position, destroy his cause, and stop his evil deeds will eventually become sacrifices buried under the throne of Diablo:
Just like today——
An ignorant bald substitute messenger unexpectedly appeared in the room where he had left traces not long ago.
There is no doubt that this is an act of usurpation that must be punished with death.
Although this bald man who is trying to investigate his true identity has a seemingly powerful stand ability, it is still far from being a threat to him.
Because Diablo knows that his Stand is invincible:
"King Crimson!"
※※※
A fist, a fist that seemed faster than a bullet, suddenly exploded from behind Li Qing.
Li Qing had already sensed this punch.
However, he couldn't hide.
The speed of that punch was so fast that it was enough to make Li Qing despair.
In the end, this punch broke his back, pierced his heart, and even went through his chest.
Li Qing was like a badger pierced by a steel fork in a watermelon field on a moonlit night, his entire body hanging on the fist and unable to move.
Blood spurted out like a fountain, and bones and flesh were crushed into mud under this punch.
Maybe it was because the punch was delivered too fast, Li Qing didn't even feel the pain at this time, he just felt a little breathless.
"Well…"
He opened his eyes wide, holding on to the last bit of clarity in his mind.
Then, at this critical moment, Li Qing used his "stand ability" in time:
"the Blind Monk!"
The digital mode was activated instantly, the gushing blood solidified in an instant, and the broken body began to recover rapidly.
Li Qing successfully saved his life.
But even so, his health bar, which had recovered to 100% due to the upgrade, suddenly dropped to 53% because of this punch.
Two more hits and he would die instantly.
You know, Li Qing’s health and defense have been greatly improved after upgrading.
That is to say…
According to the damage calculation of the system, the damage caused by this punch to him was several times greater than a bullet fired from a pistol at close range.
“Is this still a human being?”
Li Qing sighed in his heart, but immediately came up with the answer:
Obviously not.
His keen perception told him that the guy who punched him in the chest from behind was like a dead person, with no heartbeat and no breathing.
The amazing thing is that Li Qing could still sense an extremely powerful spiritual force from that guy.
And the man with a heartbeat and breathing that he had sensed earlier was still standing behind that guy, about two meters away from him... no... away from "it".
"The one attacking me wasn't a human... it was a stand-in, a stand-in for the man two meters away!"
"This is a Stand attack!"
Fortunately, after watching two episodes of JOJO, Li Qing was able to find an explanation for this strange situation in the first place.
And his guess was indeed correct.
If Li Qing still had vision, he would turn around and see this scene:
Two meters away, a middle-aged man with a youthful appearance, sharp eyes, evil temperament, and long, bright rose-red hair, was standing there with one hand on his waist, his calves slightly bent, and his body leaning forward in a strange and fashionable posture.
That was Diablo, Diablo who had become the "boss".
The guy standing two meters in front of him, closely behind Li Qing, was a tall, muscular humanoid substitute.
The Crimson King!
"Stand-in" is a ghost-like incarnation of pure spiritual energy.
The appearance of a stand-in can, to a certain extent, reflect the true inner world of its owner.
The appearance of the Crimson King perfectly shows the evil and terror of Diablo:
It is nearly two meters tall, with a ferocious expression, a small mask-like face on its forehead, and red and white patterns all over its body, making it look sinister.
It looks like a muscular humanoid monster, but also like a cold-blooded and ruthless killing machine.
Just by standing next to , Li Qing instinctively felt an indescribable oppression.
“So strong…”
Combined with the thick arm still firmly embedded in his body, Li Qing deeply realized the crisis.
He hurriedly moved forward, trying to get rid of the fist that pierced his chest.
And the Crimson King did not stop Li Qing's actions.
Because its owner, Diablo, was standing indifferently not far away, watching Li Qing's weak struggle with a cold gaze as if he were looking at a dead person:
"He's not dead?"
"It seems that your Stand ability is even stronger than I thought."
Thanks to Amor's contribution, Diablo had mastered a lot of important information about Lee Sin's "stand ability" in advance.
He knew that when Li Qing used his Stand ability, a "blood bar" would appear above his head. As long as he paid attention to whether the strange red frame appeared above Li Qing's head, he could tell whether he was using his Stand ability.
Therefore, Diablo has been waiting by the side for the best time to attack, trying to kill him with one blow before Li Qing activates his "stand ability".
The plan was successful, but Li Qing managed to survive by a narrow margin.
“It was a mistake.”
"I should have taken the lead just now."
Diablo said words of reflection, but his tone did not sound serious at all.
As if he was observing a rare animal, he looked at Li Qing with great interest. His chest had just been pierced by a fist, but not even a drop of blood was flowing out at this moment.
"My Crimson King had his heart shattered by a single blow, yet he was still able to move freely without being affected."
"And after you got rid of the Crimson King's fist, your chest with a big hole in it suddenly recovered and became intact ."
"Amor's report is correct. You can only be 'harmed' but not 'injured'."
"Yes, your Stand ability is very strong."
"It is definitely more than enough to deal with a mortal like Amor."
"pity."
There was a sudden hint of arrogance in that voice:
"Now standing in front of you..."
"It's me, Diablo!"
