Chapter 266: Metalwork

Since the day before yesterday, Li Qing has become a well-known "little star" within the organization.

Just as everyone in the world knows that Jotaro will stop from time to time, now everyone in the organization knows that Li Qing has the ability to be a stand-in for "positioning marks + high-speed movement".

So, when they saw the glowing fluorescent markings on the swallow's body, they immediately knew something was wrong.

The appearance of this mark means that Li Qing will come into the air at any time.

This swallow is not a "little angel" sent by heaven at all, but a dead bird who wants to completely drive them to a dead end.

Luckily, Lisut's reaction was quick enough that he noticed the anomaly as soon as the swallow flew into the carriage.

Meloni's movements were timely enough that he grabbed the swallow as soon as he was alerted.

"Damn it!"

Meloni's hair stood on end, and she struck like an electric shock.

Then, with the fastest speed and greatest strength in his life, he threw the swallow with the positioning mark out of the car like a grenade about to explode.

The swallow was swept up by the wind with a terrible cry, and in an instant it was thrown far away by the car.

Safety seemed to have been restored in the carriage, at least, they had temporarily escaped the fatal crisis of being hit in the face by Li Qing's echo at high speed.

But Risut and Meloni are not reassured:

"That mark is Li Qing's, and that swallow may be controlled by that kid named Giorno... They all caught up! ”

"Our whereabouts must have been revealed. But why is this happening? Do they have some hidden means of tracking? ”

Meloni said in a panic.

It's really their intelligence work that goes wrong.

Their information comes from the intelligence collected by the Passion organization during Diablo's reign, and this information collected from the enemy's perspective is not detailed, and even has some subjective misunderstandings:

It only mentions in general terms that the ability of the Golden Experience is "to create life" and "control animals and plants", and the content is very limited.

So until now, Meloni and Risut did not know how their whereabouts were completely exposed to the enemy in such a short period of time.

But the question doesn't seem to matter anymore.

Because shortly after throwing the swallow out, Meloni saw in the rearview mirror in horrorβ€”

Behind them, on the highway bridge, which was supposed to be reserved for cars, there was a bald head running with his legs.

His speed was frightening, at least, it was definitely not the speed that a human could run with his legs.

And under this extreme speed like a cheetah, this man's face has not changed at all, and his pace has not been disordered at all.

He is like a machine that never tires, every leap, every swing is so precise and powerful.

In this situation, Meloni was shocked to discover...

His four-wheeled car was gradually overtaken by the bald head with two meat legs.

"It's Li Qing!"

Meloni said with a grim face:

"How... How could he be so fast?! ”

Although the intelligence also vaguely mentioned that Li Qing's physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, Meloni never thought that the co-author of "far beyond ordinary people" is talking about "superman".

Being able to run a car on a pair of legs is already a level that many stand-ins can't reach.

"Damn! Damn it! Damn it! ”

Meloni vented her panic, fear, and grief with a series of curses:

"Can't we even run for our lives?"

With a roar, he immediately slammed the throttle.

The engine roared sharply, and the car raced off the wide sea-crossing bridge.

But that doesn't make sense anymore.

Although in the face of Meloni's speed, which can directly be revoked from his driver's license, Li Qing's speed is indeed not enough.

But he had already followed the swallow and ran close enough to the car before the enemy knew it.

"Just now you want to get rid of me faster..."

"It's too late!"

A loud shout could be heard in the distance behind the car.

Then, looking back at the enemy, Risut immediately saw something like this:

Li Qing approached the guardrail by the bridge while running with all his might, leaned over and pulled a steel pillar from the guardrail.

The sturdy steel, which had been tightly welded together and designed to withstand the impact of a car, had been removed by him with a single pull.

Then, Li Qing held the steel pillar tightly.

He used his powerful sense to firmly lock on to the car's bearing, and then quickly raised his arm to charge as he ran, and finally threw the steel pillar out in a standard javelin throwing position.

The steel pillar burst through the air, and Risut's face changed accordingly:

"Slow down!"

He let out a loud shout, and Meloni subconsciously slammed on the brakes.

Then, almost at the same time, the flying steel pillar pierced deep into the car's tires like spears.

The car, which had scrapped one of its rear wheels in an instant, began to spin rapidly at high speed and slammed uncontrollably towards the side of the bridge.

Eventually, the car crashed headlong into the guardrail and narrowly missed the side of the bridge.

Thankfully, it was Risut who reminded me in time.

If it hadn't been for the timely slowing measures, most of them would have followed the out-of-control car headlong off the bridge and into the sea.

"Boss Risut, are you alright?"

Meloni flapped the bulging airbag in front of her and staggered out of the car.

"I'm fine."

Risut also stepped out of the car just in time.

Although he was lucky not to be injured in the car accident, his tone was not at all relaxed:

"For the time being... It's okay. ”

Looking at Li Qing, who was chasing quickly from the road behind, Lisute said the word "it's okay" very hard.

He had almost foreseen the brutal battle that would ensue.

And Meloni, who has long been deeply frustrated by reality, can't accept such a desperate situation:

"The car has broken down, and Li Qing is behind."

"What to do? Boss Risut, how are we going to escape! ”

At the moment of the great enemy, Meloni has no fighting spirit at all.

It wasn't because he was frightened, but because he knew that the battle was really unfought.

First of all, the baby face that Meloni has cultivated with great difficulty has been killed by the "mysterious master", and he has no "children" available at all now.

And now that time is so short, the enemy is in front of him, it is impossible for him to have another one on the spot.

In other words, Meloni is now about the same as an ordinary person without the ability to be a stand-in.

And Risut, he...

"I can only fight."

Risut didn't have as much as Meloni thought.

There was a reassuring calmness in his tone:

"It seems that Li Qing is the only one chasing after him for the time being."

"If you fight with all your might, there may be hope."

"But..."

Meloni panicked and expressed her worries:

"Boss Lisute, I'm afraid your metal products are not Li Qing's opponent!"

Named "Metalwork", Risut's stand-in can use magnetic force to manipulate iron sand, iron filings, and even trace amounts of iron in the human body.

This ability can be said to be very domineering when used to assassinate normal humans-

As long as he enters the range of metalwork, Risut can make his enemies experience the nightmare of "knives in the flesh" with a single movement of his heart.

Who in the world can protect against a knife that comes out of the body, and who can withstand the fatal injury of a blade growing out of the internal organs?

No one can do it.

But it's a pity that Li Qing is not a human at all.

Judging by intelligence, the concept of "injured" does not exist at all in this guy.

His body is similar to that of a fictional character on an arcade phone, and as long as his health is not depleted, his body will always be intact.

Even if a knife was stabbed into his head, his actions would not be affected in the slightest.

In this way, the most powerful assassination ability of metal products is equivalent to obsolescence.

"You can't beat it!"

For the first time, Meloni questioned the ability of her captain.

But this suspicion is not motivated by malice, but by a heartfelt concern:

"That's it, Boss Risut..."

"Let me stop that Li Qing, you can escape now!"

"You can't stop it."

Risut said very calmly:

"Meloni, you can't buy time at this point."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to walk ten meters, Li Qing will wave his fist stained with your blood, and then chase me again."

"I..."

Meloni choked hard.

He immediately said in a panic:

"Then, that boss, hurry up and use the power of metal products to become invisible!"

"Even if I can only delay for a moment, boss, you can take advantage of that moment to escape incognito!"

β€œ......”

Risut glanced at Meloni in silence:

"Li Qing is blind."

"Who am I invisible?"

Hearing this, Meloni's face turned pale.

He suddenly discovered that Li Qing's restraint on Risut was almost all-round:

The blind man didn't need sight at all, and the stealth ability that Risut relied on to protect himself was meaningless in front of him.

"Say no more, Meloni."

"It's too late."

Risut sighed deeply.

Although talking is not very time-consuming in this world, Li Qing's speed is so fast, and the distance between the two sides is so close, no matter how short the time is, it is enough for him to catch up.

Before they even had time to make the action of escaping, Li Qing had already blocked in front of them with a fierce momentum.

"Boss Risut..."

Meloni swallowed, her voice low as if she were a terminally ill patient who knew she was about to die.

"Don't worry!"

Risut's voice remained steady.

I don't know what kind of thoughts he had, he said 'rest assured' in front of his subordinates with great seriousness:

"This time we lost, and it was I who brought everyone to a road of no return."

"So, Meloni, at least..."

"At least, I'm going to keep you alive."

Risut stepped forward without flinching, his gaze unwavering.

The sea breeze is bleak, and the water vapor is cold.
