Chapter 88 Coward Willy
Outside the underground garage, in the quiet and dim alley.
Time goes back to five minutes ago, 16:16, Mista had just left.
Bucciarati, Fugo and others, who had been crowded in the back seat for a long time, got out of the car one after another, leaning or hiding in the shadows of the wall, moving their bodies slightly.
Li Qing, regardless of his own image, knelt down with his ear to the ground, listening intently to the noise coming from the direction of the underground garage.
After all, Mista is a rookie who knows nothing. Although the probability of something going wrong is very low, Bucciarati is still a little worried about letting him act alone.
Therefore, Bucciarati specifically asked Li Qing to act as a human radar and remotely monitor the movements of Mista.
If they heard any suspicious noise or heard that Mista might be in danger, they would rush to rescue him immediately.
Li Qing also agreed to be the nanny.
After all, if Mista was really in danger, it would mean that their tracks had been exposed to the enemy.
There would be no point in hiding here and avoiding the sight of the thugs stationed in the mall. It would be better to rush in and fight with real weapons.
However…
Unexpectedly, before any unusual noises came from Mista's side, Li Qing heard some bad noises from his side:
“Someone!”
"There are about a dozen people, in groups, heading straight towards this alley."
"What?"
"Have we been exposed?"
Fugo's face immediately turned pale:
A life-and-death battle did not seem to cure his old fear of the organization.
"We're done for... We'll be discovered as soon as we go out, and this alley is a dead end... We have nowhere to run!"
"Don't panic."
Bucciarati used his calm and powerful voice to comfort his companions:
"The Stand users in the organization always like to fight alone, and it is unheard of for more than a dozen people to attack at the same time."
"The one coming here may not be the Stand User who is chasing us. He may be a stranger who has nothing to do with us."
"Anyway, let's find a place to hide first."
He looked around, taking in the empty alley except for a car.
Obviously, there is no place to hide here.
But this did not bother Bucciarati.
He immediately summoned his steel chain fingers and randomly slammed them on the wall. A zipper hole as high as a person instantly opened on the wall.
Bucciarati was the first to walk into the narrow space created by the zipper, then turned to Li Qing and the others and said:
"Come on, hide in here!"
"yes."
Fugo, Narancia and Abbazi entered the "zipper space" without hesitation, and Giorno squeezed in right after them.
Only Li Qing didn't go in.
"Hide in quickly, Li Qing!"
Bucciarati and others who had already hidden in the different dimension urged in unison.
“…”
Looking at the exposed muscular men wearing chest-baring, belly-baring, and tights, who were packed like sardines in this narrow space, Li Qing couldn't help but twitching his mouth:
"Damn it...I won't set a flag again next time."
He cursed angrily, but finally squeezed in.
Then, the steel chain fingers zipped up from inside the alien space.
The traces of Li Qing and others were quickly hidden behind the "healed" wall, leaving only an imperceptible gap to observe the situation outside.
And then…
The dozen or so uninvited guests rushed into this alley.
They all held sticks, had ferocious looks on their faces, and a strong murderous aura was surging from their bodies.
However, this evil spirit was not directed at Li Qing and others.
Surrounded by these ferocious-looking burly men was a young man with a skinny body, hunched back, pale face, and who looked as timid as a frightened wild monkey.
He did not walk into this alley by himself, but was carried here by a dozen fierce men like a dead pig.
"Willy, coward Willy!"
They threw the skinny man named Willy to the ground and surrounded him in this dark and secluded alley with sneers on their faces:
"Let's have some fun here!"
The skinny and weak Willy was trembling with fear, but Li Qing, who was hiding in the different space, immediately breathed a sigh of relief:
It was clear from the scene that the dozen or so strong men were not killers sent by the organization.
They are just a bunch of street thugs who pick on the weak. They are not worth worrying about at all.
However…
Bucciarati, Fugo, and Narancia all frowned at the same time: "Willie?"
"Um?"
Li Qing asked curiously: "Do you...know this guy?"
"That's right."
Fugo curled his lips and said, "He is a very useless guy."
Naranja also looked disgusted: "He is a guy with a mental disorder."
Bucciarati's tone was the most restrained, but there was something strange in it:
"Indeed, it's someone we know."
"Not only him, I also know the others."
He looked at the group of fierce-looking men outside and explained:
"These people are all peripheral minions of the organization. The large area near the mall is under their jurisdiction."
"I just wanted to avoid the eyes of these minions, so I let Mista go to get the car alone."
"only…"
"I didn't expect them to come here unexpectedly."
Bucciarati first explained the identities of the dozen big men, and then turned his attention to the thin man surrounded by a dozen gangsters:
"This guy's name is Willie Coward. He and I have a history."
"He was accidentally involved in the battle between me and another Stand User. Later, he came to me and begged me to recommend him to join the organization."
Bucciarati added:
"Moreover, what he wants is to become a core member of the organization."
"What?"
Li Qing heard something special: "Core members..."
"I remember you told me before when you were popularizing the organization's situation that those who are qualified to be recruited as core members are basically Stand users, right?"
"Besides, they have to pass that 99% mortality test."
"That's right."
Bucciarati nodded and said:
"He didn't take Mr. Polpo's test, but..."
"Willie Coward is indeed a stand-in."
"ha?"
Li Qing was slightly stunned.
He glanced at the skinny man in the alley who was being kicked around like a ball by a dozen minions:
"Is this guy a Stand user?"
"So weak... No..."
Li Qing paid close attention to Willy's individual performance:
In the humiliating moment of being kicked like a ball, stepped on like a stone, and having his mother and grandmother pointed at and questioned, this guy named Willy didn't even have the slightest intention of resisting.
He held his head in his hands timidly, trembling and begging for mercy.
"Is there such a cowardly Stand user?"
Li Qing was so surprised that he was speechless:
All the Stand users he met today were tough guys who would fight to the death and breathe hard when injured, so he now subconsciously believed that the Stand users all had some kind of passive skill of "unyielding will".
Suddenly seeing such a coward who didn't even dare to breathe when being beaten, Li Qing had no way of connecting him with the words "Standard User".
"no way."
Fugo said disdainfully:
"The guy himself is a hopeless coward. Everyone calls him 'Coward Willy.'"
"Besides, his Stand ability is pretty useless."
"Useless?" Li Qing asked curiously, "How is it useless?"
"His Stand ability is."
Fugo thought about it for a moment and answered carefully:
"As long as the original body comes into contact with another person, his stand will automatically become the thing that the other person fears the most in their subconscious mind."
"well?"
Li Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Doesn't this sound very powerful?"
"What a bullshit!"
"The fact that the main body needs to come into direct contact with the opponent is already a huge weakness."
"Moreover, his stand-in cannot transform into a fantasy creature from a movie, but can only transform into something real that exists on Earth—"
"It sounds good, but when it comes to actual use, you'll find that what you end up with are basically school bullies, hooligans, parents... or even harmless creatures like stray cats and dogs!"
"What's even more ridiculous is..."
"He can't even control his own Stand abilities."
"If he accidentally touches someone, his Stand will change uncontrollably."
As he spoke, Fugo seemed to recall some unpleasant memory:
"That time Willy accidentally touched my body and the result was..."
"result?"
Li Qing and others were looking forward to what would happen next.
"Ha ha…"
Fugo said somewhat embarrassedly:
"His stand-in automatically became my college professor."
"I lost control of my temper and accidentally put him in intensive care."
