Chapter 328: A Way to Go Back to the Past
Li Qing is dead?
Diablo couldn't believe it.
But corpses can't deceive people.
Although he didn't have a head, that body was 100% Li Qing's body.
And in this short period of time measured in seconds, it is impossible for Li Qing to conjure a "stand-in" out of thin air.
"What the hell..."
"Could it be that Li Qing is really dead?"
Diablo stared at the corpse with a smooth neck, and his heart set off infinite waves:
"Who can take out this monster in such a short time..."
"Could it be that this guy was eaten by the power of the arrow?
That's Li Qing, the bomb can't kill him, and Li Qing, who can fight endlessly with the Scarlet King of infinite firepower by relying on his physical body.
How long has it been since he became a headless corpse lying on the ground?
"No... There's no way this guy dies so easily! β
"This must be Li Qing's conspiracy!"
Diablo has long become more cautious and suspicious because of the series of failures brought by Li Qing.
Even with the corpse of his old enemy in front of him, he was afraid to be sure that he had won.
"That's right... What about his head? β
Diablo was very skeptical that a monster like Li Qing could continue to survive even if he only had one head left.
Maybe he's just going to hide it this way.
I want to let my guard down when I think I've won a big game.
When he completely relaxes, Li Qing, who has only one head left, will launch a deadly surprise attack on him.
Unknowingly, Diablo even made up a tactic for Li Qingnao that seemed very feasible at first glance.
However, to Diablo's surprise...
He looked around, but he didn't see Li Qing's severed head in this room at all.
"Time is so short, Dongfang Zhansuke has difficulty even walking, and he doesn't have time to help hide."
"Then where can Li Qing's head go?"
The vigilance in Diablo's heart became more and more intense.
He feels like the protagonist of a horror movie, trapped in a dangerous haunted house.
At this time, the ten-second future that the "Epitaph" had seen before was almost over.
In the ten seconds that the "Epitaph" had seen, Diablo could guarantee that he was completely safe.
But what will happen after those ten seconds is uncertain.
"Ouroboros!"
To be on the safe side, Diablo used Ouroboros at the end of the ten seconds without any gaps.
He wants to go back in time to rest and recover, so that the "epitaph" can be used continuously and indefinitely in the "now".
As a result, Diablo's body quickly dissolved into nothingness.
Not only him, but the clothes on his body, the arrows in his hands, all became blurred and transparent at this moment.
It's better to be unexpected...
After 1 second, he will disappear completely in the "now".
However, at this moment, Diablo inadvertently thought of a question:
"If this is a trap set by Li Qing."
"And how will he attack?"
"Is it really some kind of 'flying head' attack? No, that's ridiculous..."
"Li Qing's observation is amazing, he and I have fought so many times, I should vaguely know the existence of the "epitaph".
"So, how will he bypass my constant ability of foreknowledge?"
At this moment, time seems to stand still.
obviously has the advantage, but Diablo has a very bad premonition in his heart.
After trying to empathize, he seems to have found the right idea:
The only way to attack someone who can predict a short future is to use deception.
The attacker must perfectly disguise himself as harmless, so that the foreseeer can see the "safe" future-
In fact, while the Prophet was blinded by the safe future he saw, the crisis was already unwittingly approaching him.
"Li Qing is very likely to be hiding by my side now!"
"It's just that I haven't found out yet."
"Wait..."
Diablo's face changed:
It suddenly occurred to him that he seemed to have been quietly approached by something.
Even, he was holding that thing in his hand without any precautions now, and he also included it when he activated the power of time and space.
"Arrows!"
Diablo suddenly reacted at this moment:
"Trap... Could it be this arrow?! β
..........................................
Ten seconds ago.
Li Qing rushed to the room on the second floor with the seriously injured Dongfang Yusuke.
That arrow is stored here.
Li Qing quickly put down Dongfang Zhansuke, picked up the arrow, and then turned back to Zhansuke without pausing and said:
"You're still going to have the strength to drive the Crazy Diamond, right?"
"Yes," replied Dongfang Fusuke weakly.
Li Qing ran so fast just now that he was seriously injured and almost fainted.
Fortunately, thanks to the strong body inherited from the Qiao family, Zhansuke can still barely concentrate on maintaining the existence of the Crazy Diamond.
"That's good, helpβ"
Li Qing suddenly handed out the arrow:
"Use your mad diamond to fuse me with this arrow."
"Huh?"
Dongfang Zhansuke couldn't react a little.
"It's like you did to Angelo."
In this almost stagnant time, Li Qing's tone was still hurried and unbearable:
"I'm going to let you turn me into this arrow."
"It's better for me to merge into the arrow so thoroughly that no one can see the difference."
Although they have only been together for two days, in line with the principle of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and winning all battles, in order to be able to cooperate perfectly with this new companion in the battle...
Li Qing had already pulled Dongfang Zhusuke and carefully studied his stand-in ability:
First of all, the Mad Diamond can quickly destroy the opponent before activating the ability to change the shape of an object or fuse two objects together.
Secondly, there is actually a hidden setting for this "fusion" ability:
It can change not only the shape of an object, but also the "mass" of the object.
For example, in the future where Li Qing does not exist (original)...
Dongfang Yusuke once turned an enemy who kidnapped his mother into a book with a shredder.
The book, which "occasionally makes strange noises", was later donated to the Tooocho Library, and became a famous tale in the town, and was borrowed by curious citizens.
A person of more than 100 pounds has become a book weighing a few pounds in this way.
The quality has indeed been altered - if it had not been changed, I am afraid that no citizen would have been able to read a book of more than 100 pounds.
"Since you can change the quality and form..."
"Then you should be able to turn me into a fluttering arrow, too."
Li Qing eagerly explained his thoughts to Dongfang Yusuke:
"Diablo came to the town of King Du to find arrows."
"Even though he already has an arrow, I don't think he will refuse to get another one."
"So just fuse me with the arrow, and I can approach Diablo silently in the form of an arrow."
"And Diablo will definitely go back in time every once in a while to be on the safe side, refreshing the cooldown of that foresight."
He paused slightly, and said his ultimate goal:
"In this way, I can be taken to the past by Diablo in the form of an arrowβ"
"There's no way I'm going to defeat him right now."
"Only in the past, in the gap where his skills came out of cooldown..."
"I have the slightest chance of winning."
"This, this..."
Dongfang Suke was already a little dizzy to hear:
Back in time? It turns out that Diablo's ability is to travel back in time and space like those sci-fi movies?
And Li Qing wants to turn himself into an arrow so that he can hide from the sky and be taken back to the past by Diablo?
"You took the arrow for this?"
Dongfang Yusuke's expression was extremely shocked.
"Or else? Do you think I'm coming back to prick myself with an arrow? β
The chance of an arrow triggering a stand-in is 1%, and 99 out of 100 people will be killed.
Moreover, the activated stand-ins have different abilities and uncertain strengths, and awakening may not necessarily change this mortal situation.
Li Qing didn't feel that he had any protagonist aura, and he could suddenly awaken any earth-destroying domineering ability in this desperate situation.
Rather than relying on that ethereal luck.
He believes more in his own efforts and wisdom.
But Dongfang Zhansuke didn't believe it very much:
"Is this really possible?"
Instinctively, he felt that this plan was a bit bizarre, or rather, unreliable.
"Of course it works." Li Qing's attitude was extremely firm: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have left my companions and fled back." β
"But... Even if nothing else..."
"Can you be sure you can really be taken back in time?"
"Can Diablo bring back something like an arrow?"
Zhan Zhu still didn't agree with it, he felt that this crazy method might as well be more appropriate to let Li Qing escape directly with his mother.
"Absolutely."
"Does Diablo travel through time and space naked every time?"
"Since the clothes on his body can travel with him, there is no reason why the arrow in his hand can't work."
Li Qing said his theory in a resolute tone.
And there was an indescribable confidence in his voice, as if he had seen through everything:
"Don't worry, help."
"There are some doubts that I haven't figured out before."
"But now I've figured it all out."
What Li Qing said has begun to make Dongfang Zhuzhu completely incomprehensible:
"If you try it, this method will workβ"
"Because this is a 'fate' that has long been predestined!"
β.......β
Zhan Zhu was a little confused by Li Qing's unprovoked self-confidence:
"Well... I'll help you..."
"But there's another fatal problem in your plans:"
"Crazy diamonds can change the form and quality of objects, but there is a limit to that."
"An arrow is too light, and I can't turn a big living person into a light arrow."
There is a limit to the abilities of stand-ins.
And the quality gap between people and arrows is too big, and Crazy Diamond can't help Li Qing disguise himself as a small arrow.
"It's... Why didn't you say it earlier?! β
Li Qing was also caught off guard by this fatal question.
But his thoughts are like electricity, his mind is firm, and in an instant, he abandons useless emotions and thinks at a high speed in this almost stagnant time.
"I thought about it..."
Li Qing directly lifted the data-
This is a must-do.
If you don't lift the data, there will be a blood bar floating on your head, and even if you turn into an arrow, you can't fool people.
But now Li Qing's de-digitization is not just for this reason.
He opened his eyes and looked at Dongfang Gongsuke with blazing eyes:
"If it's turned into an arrow life form."
"Then no matter how many injuries I suffered before I was changed, I shouldn't have died, right?"
"This..."
Dongfang Zhansuke's face was entangled:
"Theoretically..."
"It's all turned into arrows, and the injuries you suffered as a human don't exist."
"As long as you are not completely dead after being turned into an arrow, you can always retain consciousness in the form of an arrow."
"But that's the way it is... But I haven't tried it before. β
"That's enough."
Li Qing's eyes suddenly swelled with ruthlessness.
He suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger from his bosom, the trophy he had received on the morning of his first day of incarnation.
Although the dagger didn't have much effect after Li Qing became stronger one after another, he still habitually carried it on his body, just in case Giorno had to do that kind of full-body major surgery.
And now that Giorno is seriously injured and dying, this dagger has played a role again in Li Qing himself:
"Help, ready."
"Since there's no way to send a whole person to the past..."
Li Qing struggled to swing out a cold light, and the blade pointed at his neck:
"Then just send the brain!"
