The Silver Chariot is a stand-in for its speed.

In the state of unloading the armor, the speed it can burst out is also far beyond Li Qing's imagination.

And under Polunarev's exquisite swordsmanship, the extremely limited power of the silver chariot was also exerted to the extreme.

Every streamer that cuts out is so brilliant, so precise and effective.

For a moment, the silver chariot blocking in front barely blocked Xin Hongchili's offensive, giving Li Qingbo, who was already in a desperate situation, a chance to breathe.

"Let's go!"

Polunarev stood in front of him with a serious expression.

He struggled to put on a confident tone, as if everything was under control.

"You and Giorno go first, hurry up and let Jotaro come back to support."

"Don't worry about me... My silver chariot is fast enough to match it, and I have to do the work of delaying the break! ”

"No kidding!"

Li Qing did not hesitate to debunk Polunarev's lies:

"What you can't stop, you can't stop at all!"

"The silver chariot was only able to keep up in speed, but it was completely crushed by that bastard in terms of strength."

"Do you think I can't see it? The silver chariot is now at an absolute disadvantage! ”

He was right.

Now Polunarev is barely resisting with his swordsmanship and the speed of the silver chariot.

Because of the difference in absolute strength, the sharp blade of the silver chariot looked like a fluttering cotton swab in front of Xin Red Pepper, which could easily bounce off with just one finger.

The silver chariot simply didn't last long, and the paper-fragile line would soon crumble.

"Or let me come..."

Li Qing gritted his teeth and shouted loudly in a resolute voice:

"Your mortal body can't resist the enemy's fist."

"It's just me, only I can stop that monster!"

"Now is not the time to discuss this kind of problem!"

The two seemed to be comparing who was louder, and Polunarev replied with the same deafening roar:

"How far can Giorno and I run on a pair of legs?"

"It's just you, only you're fast enough to leave quickly with Giorno!"

Because most doubles can only move around the body, no matter how fast a stand-in is, its long-distance movement speed is limited by the body's 1000-meter physical test results.

But Li Qing is a special case:

He himself is a stand-in, a superman who can race cars on his legs.

Polunarev is right, if you want to choose two people from the current three people to escape, you have to choose Li Qing no matter what.

"That's right, Li Qing."

I don't know when, Giorno also hurriedly appeared beside Li Qing.

His voice was extremely low, and his words were uttered with that absolutely rational indifference that was completely different from the past:

"It's best for you to run away with me now."

"If you are rash, you will only end up killing the three of us together."

"Let's go, go find Mr. Jotaro - in the face of this crushing power and speed, only Jotaro's Platinum Star can solve the problem now!"

"I..."

Li Qing couldn't refute such a rigorous logic at all.

But he instinctively hesitated.

"Don't waste time... Get out of here! ”

Polunarev still stubbornly blocked in front of Li Qing.

At this time, the silver chariot's defenses were close to crumbling, and there were already several shocking depressions on the silver-glowing body.

This terrifying fist power was also fed back to the main body, causing Porunarev's body to become bloody in an instant.

But Polunarev still stood so steadily:

"I've been a wrecked person for a long time, and it's you young people who have given me a new lease of life."

"This life is what I owe you, and it's not a pity to pay it back."

"Let's go... Don't waste my life! ”

A roar of anger sounded like thunder, and the silver sword light shone brightly at this moment.

Giorno had already grabbed Li Qing's hand and began to flee into the distance.

Li Qing followed the steps stiffly like a marionette.

An unprecedented grief suddenly came to my heart, and this bald man who played the battle as a game finally had a sense of substitution that was completely integrated.

"Polunarev!!"

Li Qing shouted loudly, but his legs shamefully stayed away from the battlefield.

And the tall man who was abandoned behind him showed a smile on the corner of his mouth:

"It's a terrible sense of déjà vu... But this time..."

"I never, never..."

Polunarev's gaze was as firm as iron, and his blood-stained body was straight:

"Let my companion die before me again!"

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

Li Qing carried Giorno and fled away quickly.

At this exaggerated speed, they might really be able to escape the pursuit of Xin Red Pepper.

But Li Qingke did not have the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

His heart was heavier than ever, because no matter how many brutal battles he had experienced before, it was the first time he had come across the word "sacrifice."

It turns out that the battle is really deadly.

It turns out that victory is sometimes achieved by stepping on the bones of one's comrades.

It turns out that such cruelty is what this fantastic adventure game is really about.

"Damn..."

"That's not the kind of game I want to play!"

Li Qing cried out in pain.

Before he knew it, he had pinched the palm of his hand with his fingernails to get blood.

This bloodstain healed instantly under the action of the data-based body, but the pain in Li Qing's heart was never able to

for he can still hear.

He could hear the sound of Polunarev fighting behind him, out of sight.

He could hear the crunch of Polunarev's bones cracking, and he could hear his screams under the electricity.

For the first time, Li Qing hated why he had such keen hearing, so much so that he had to use such a cruel way to perceive the death of his companion from afar.

Polunarev is dying, and he can't do anything.

"Li Qing."

Giorno felt Li Qing's pain.

He has maintained an extremely strange silence since he persuaded Li Qing to escape, the kind of silence that is so cold that he can ignore the lives of his companions is not at all like the rational but kind him in the past.

But now, just as they were about to escape, Giorno suddenly said in that meaningful voice:

"Stop."

"It's too late for us to go back."

"Go back?"

Li Qing suddenly braked the car.

His godless eyes suddenly lit up:

"Giorno, what do you mean..."

"Have you figured out how to deal with that spicy red pepper?"

"That's right."

Giorno replied in a low tone.

It was obviously a beautiful moment to reveal the answer, but he didn't show the usual ease and confidence at all, but looked solemn as if he was about to go to the execution ground:

"The enemy's advantage is sheer strength and speed."

"In the face of this kind of gaping attributes, all wisdom will become a joke."

"If you want to deal with this kind of enemy, the standard of entry is to match or at least close to the strength and speed of the opponent."

"It's unfortunate... On our side, only Platinum Stars and Crazy Diamonds are eligible for this entry. ”

"And they're all gone now, and they won't be able to come back for a while."

"That?"

Li Qing couldn't wait to ask.

Even if dialogue doesn't consume much time in this world, he is now desperate to know the answer as soon as possible.

"Then let you go!"

Giorno looked at Li Qing deeply:

"Aren't you almost getting to level up with a little experience?"

"Every time you level up, you get unimaginable stat boosts."

"As long as you can get to level 5 now, your strength and speed should be able to match or even suppress the spicy red peppers."

"Of course I do!"

Li Qing said impatiently:

"But that lack of experience will have to be made up for by the life of a stand-in messenger!"

"Where do I go now to find a stand-in messenger who can kill?"

"Go back to the Oriental house and kill Kira Yoshikage? That kid isn't a broiler to be slaughtered, and it's too late for me to kill him! ”

"Or is it to kill the shape of the rainbow village? Now that I'm turning around and going back and bumping into the spicy red peppers head-on, how could that guy let me go unchecked? ”

"Wait..."

As he spoke, Li Qing's expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly realized that something was wrong:

"Before I escaped, I was standing at the door of Hongcun's house."

"That's when I was closest to the Rainbow Village, and I turned around and could kill it with my hand."

"But, but..."

"Giorno, why did you encourage me to flee immediately?"

Li Qing stared at Giorno with godless eyes.

He had a very bad guess, very bad.

And Giorno's answer confirms this:

"Because this is a plan I came up with, how can I do it by sacrificing other people's lives."

"If you want to level up, you don't need Hongcun Shape."

Giorno paused slightly, and a calm and relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Just use me."

"Just kill me, and you'll be able to level up, right?"

“.......”

Li Qing's face became extremely ugly:

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I do such a thing! ”

"It's a necessary sacrifice."

Giorno's tone was still so calm, as if the sacrifice needed for the upgrade in his words was not himself:

"Li Qing, do you remember when you sealed the meat pieces in Naples?"

"You could have gone back to the surface at that point..."

"But in order not to implicate me, you chose to stay in the lava well."

"This is the sacrifice you have made for me, for the countless citizens of Naples, and now... It's my turn to make a sacrifice. ”

These words contain a wealth of emotion.

In fact, this is also the first time that Li Qing has felt such complex emotions from this protagonist who is as perfect and rational as the son of God.

But Li Qing's reaction was anger, anger that was difficult to contain:

"Shut up!"

"You saved me in the Lava Well... It's not your turn to return this life! ”

"I would never do this kind of thing, absolutely not!"

"Besides..."

Li Qing vetoed with a gloomy face:

"Don't forget, I can't do damage to my teammates at all."

"I can't kill you, Giorno."

"No, you can kill it."

Giorno was still looking at Li Qing with that calm gaze:

"You just said in the morning in front of your companions on the shore..."

"As long as you use external weapons, you can even deny your teammates."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Qing's face immediately looked as ugly as if he had been coated with ink.

He really wanted to travel back to this morning and sew the mouth of that unbridled guy shut.

But it's too late to say anything.

Halfway through his words, Giorno unexpectedly took out an extremely sharp fruit knife from his pocket while he was still prepared:

"This is what I took from my family in Hongcun."

"Just use it and you're ready to upgrade."

"Y-you..."

Li Qing's expression was distorted and he said:

"Have you been thinking about death since you walked out of the house?"

"Bastard... Idiot... Why force me to do such a thing! ”

"Because it's the right thing to do."

Giorno gently stuffed the fruit knife into Li Qing's hand:

"You said you're level 4 now."

"Maybe Misda's superstitions are right, after all, according to the customs of your homeland..."

"4 is indeed a very unlucky number."

He covered Li Qing's trembling hand and aimed the tip of the knife at his neck:

"Come on..."

"Turn 4 into 5."

"The bad luck will soon be broken."
