Chapter 58: The Dust Settles

The scales of the Goddess of Victory are like a seesaw with naughty children on either side, and the situation can be reversed at any moment.

This is a truth that every stand-in messenger should understand.

As a strong man who sharpens his sharp minions in the dark, Bugarati never lets his guard down in battle.

However, even if he is like this, he can't imagine why the current Li Qing still has the confidence to say that he wants to turn the tables:

"I took off my hands and feet, my body couldn't move, and my health bar became damaged..."

"What other hole cards does he have?!"

Bugarati felt panic in an extremely rare way.

He tried his best to think and speculate on the possible counterattack methods that Li Qing might take, but in the end, he could only endure the endless torment caused by the unknown in this long period of almost solidification.

And then, when time began to flow...

Syllable!

Bugarati's figure stumbled slightly.

In fact, there was no sound in the process, but he suddenly felt that his back was under attack. The attack was not very powerful, as if someone had gently slapped him in the back.

"What is it..."

"What just hit me in the back?"

"It's Skysound."

Li Qing gave the answer in time: "That is what you understand as the 'positioning light cluster'." ”

"How is that possible!"

Bugalati's eyes widened in shock:

"You're lying on the ground in front of me, how could you hit me in the back with that move?"

"Wait..."

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his face became extremely ugly.

Immediately afterward, Bugarati turned his head sharply, and at a glance saw the thing he had guessed in his heart:

That's an arm.

A tree hung a few meters behind him, but the fist was aimed at his right arm.

"Haha..."

"Do you already see it?"

Li Qing, who lost his arms and right leg and collapsed to the ground like a human stick, smiled so calmly:

"My people are lying in front of you, but my fists can attack you from behind without you noticing!"

"It's thanks to your amazing abilities, Bugarati..."

"The hand that has been removed from the zipper looks broken, but it is actually connected by some kind of spatial ability."

"Since I can control the fingers on my 'broken arm' to pull the trigger in that inexplicable way, the same goes for -"

"I can also control this arm that has detached from my body in the air, and use the 'stand-in ability'!"

"And you..."

If it weren't for the fact that his hands and feet were gone, Li Qingzhen wanted to put on a posing pose like Giorno at this time when he was magnifying his moves:

"You removed my arm to prevent me from fighting back, but instead turned my arm into a 'hidden battery' that you wouldn't even notice!"

“......”

Bugalati fell into a deep shock:

"I see... You've just broken your leg and you're jumping forward desperately, but you're not running away at all, and you're not dying. ”

"You're just doing that to draw me into pursuit, to lure me to that right fist in the air, and to step into the trap myself!"

"I didn't even notice all this time..."

"Your counterattack starts from the moment you fall into the downwind."

At this moment, Bugarati finally figured everything out.

But it was too late to say anything, and the celestial sound wave from the severed arm had already hit him solidly, and then the positioning markers that had emerged had begun to glow white on his back.

With this mark, nothing can stop Li Qing's attack.

"So..."

Li Qing's momentum climbed to the extreme: "Echo Strike!" ”

The second stage of the dash ability is activated in an instant.

The wonderful thing is that although Li Qing now looks like a human stick with broken hands and feet, his body is in fact "intact".

And the skill effect of Echo Strike requires Li Qing's "whole person" to break through to the enemy's side...

Thereupon...

At the moment when the echo strike started, Li Qing's torso fell to the ground, his right arm hanging from a tree, his left arm and right leg scattered on the road...

These separate "parts" are like a team of dinosaurs that have entered a state of combined transformation, rising from all directions and converging towards the place where the Celestial Sonic positioning mark is.

In the end, Li Qing's scattered body converged into a whole in the air.

At the same time, his high-speed iron fist contained terrifying power, and it also leaned unreservedly on Bugarati's back.

"Ugh!"

Bugarati spat out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell forward because of the tremendous force that pierced his back.

With just one blow, he was mortally wounded.

And Li Qing just hit the vital part of his back near his neck, if this key area of nervous and vascular interlacing was suddenly hit hard, ordinary people would even die on the spot.

Fortunately, the stand-in messengers are all wolves who can continue to fight with broken hands and feet.

Bugarati's body is not bad, but he was beaten into a coma.

In fact, Li Qing's body was only temporarily spliced together with the effect of his skills:

The zipper on his body didn't disappear as a result, and if EchoStrike's attack ended, his body would fall apart and fall apart as the zipper opened.

But now, Bugarati happened to be knocked unconscious by a punch.

The steel chain fingers disappeared instantly as the ontological consciousness slumbered, and the stand-in ability it exerted on Li Qing was also completely removed.

Li Qing stopped his fist, stood firm, and his body condensed back into a whole.

The battle is settled.

.....................................................

"It hurts..."

Bugarati woke up groggily from the darkness, a sharp pain in his back that instantly woke his brain.

He tried to move, and immediately he could barely breathe because of the large red and swollen wound he was involved in.

Finally, after trying hard two or three times, Bugarati, whose forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat, struggled to hold the ground with his hands and slowly raised his head.

This lift...

He saw the muzzle of a black hole.

The faint muzzle of the gun was so close to his eyes that at this moment, Bugarati could even clearly see the intricate spiral rifling in the barrel.

"Lee. Li Qing? ”

Bugarati called out the name of the man in front of him and asked breathlessly:

"How long have I fainted..."

"Fu, Fuge, how are they?"

"Don't worry."

Li Qing replied with a strange expression:

"You're sturdy enough... I fainted for a total of one or two minutes. ”

"But..."

A touch of coldness suddenly appeared on his face: "The next time I fall asleep, I will never wake up." ”

As he spoke, Li Qing used a pistol to resist Bugarati's head:

"Bugarati."

"You should be enlightened! If you want to solve people, you may be solved in reverse. You should always have this "awareness of danger." ”

His fingers began to pull the trigger slowly, and the firing pin of the pistol slowly pulled back in a deadly arc with a clever mechanical movement.

The next moment, death will come.

"Of course I have this realization..."

"But, I know you don't have a bullet in your gun..."

"If you want me to be your companion, how can you kill me so easily."

Bugalati's expression did not have a trace of nervousness, but was a little relieved:

"Li Qing, I understand what you mean..."

"You want me to know that I owe you my life, don't you?"

"Join you on an adventure to challenge the boss, and no matter how bad the ending is, it's just a death. Since this life has been owed to you, then even the most dangerous and terrible things, I can walk with you without burden. ”

"Haha... You're right. ”

Li Qing laughed freely:

"However, you are actually wrong... I have bullets in my gun. ”

And what I mean is not as complicated as you think, it can be summed up in only two sentences:"

"Come with me, live."

"If you don't agree, die."

He smiled dangerously:

"Bugalati, a man like you shouldn't do anything to break his promise, right?"

Li Qing has only watched two episodes of JOJO in total, and he is not an avid fan.

Except for Giorno, who experienced life and death and supported each other along the way, he did not have the slightest affection for other so-called "original characters".

From the enemy's point of view, Li Qing would never do something stupid about letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

From the point of view of the game, he will not let go of the experience that is delivered to his mouth.

And the "Ali Ali Ali" just now, the tragic appearance of broken hands and feet, really made him feel angry.

If Bugalati insists on refusing to surrender...

He's really going to kill.

And Bugarati's answer is:

"I'm sorry... I can't say yes. ”

He calmly faced Li Qing's muzzle, and said with a resolute expression:

"If it's just my life, I can do anything."

"But... Fogg, Naranga, Apaki... They shouldn't be dragged into that precarious situation because of my choice. ”

"The boss has noticed our squad..."

"If my captain defects, they won't be able to get rid of it anyway."

It's different from the rebellious Bugalati in the original work.

At this time, Bugarati had never seen the cruel scene of the 'crumb boss' stabbing his daughter, and still had great illusions about the organization and the boss.

And without the excitement of that kind of emergency, it is difficult for him to make up his mind in a short time.

But...

"Companion?"

"Why do you believe that they can run when you die?"

Li Qing said with a strange expression:

"Bugarati... Haven't you thought about it..."

"Why didn't I go to support my teammates and stay here to talk to you?"
