"Huh?" Li Qing's expression was extremely stunned: "Experience, upgrading... How do you know this? ”

“......”

Giorno fell silent for a moment.

Soon, he looked at Li Qing with a stunned expression on his face:

"I said... Li Qing. ”

"What are you surprised about... You don't really think that nonsense you make up can fool people, do you? ”

"Everyone on the team knows you're talking nonsense except for Misda, who has watched a lot of movies – including Naranga."

"Ahh Is that so? ”

Li Qing touched his head a little embarrassedly, and his expression was slightly disappointed.

In fact, he really felt that the theory he had made up was very convincing.

After all, there are even stand-ins and vampires in this world, and it should not be surprising that there is a mysterious Dragon Kingdom Qigong.

And Misda's performance also helped Li Qing strengthen his self-confidence in this regard - that guy has been pestering Li Qing to learn from a teacher after listening to the story, and his attitude is extremely sincere.

But now, Giorno is helpless to debunk this terrible lie above his head:

"Even if there is really any Dragon Kingdom Qigong in the world, it will definitely not be like this."

"Visualizing the health bar, not breaking the body, teammates not hurting each other, and skills with an absolutely fixed cooldown..."

"It's all set in a video game."

"I don't know where this ability comes from, but I'm sure your ability is to restore a certain game character to reality."

Giorno told the truth about Li Qing's ability in one bite, and even further deduced:

"And, as far as I've observed, just like those characters in video games, you can gain experience by killing 'monsters', accumulate experience and upgrade to strengthen your attributes."

"From what we know by now, you've probably gone through two 'upgrades.'"

"Once in Naples and once in Venice."

"Both of those upgrades happened in just two days, and a full week has passed since the last one."

"During the week, we faced three more challengers at our new organizational headquarters in Rome."

"And those three teams of men and horses combined with a dozen stand-ins, and they all died at your hands in the end... With so much experience, you should be able to move up the next level. ”

That's not good for being friends with smart people.

Secrets can't be hidden at all, and they can always be seen clearly.

"That's right."

Li Qing simply didn't hide his incredible data ability at all:

"I'm level 4 now, and I'm still a little bit of experience away from getting to level 5."

"And, Joruno, you should be able to think of it too..."

"The income from killing elite monsters in the game will always be more than ten times higher than that of ordinary monsters, and in reality, my reward for killing a stand-in messenger is also a hundred times higher than that for killing ordinary people."

"The 'little' experience I lack, in exchange for ordinary people, I have to fill it with hundreds of lives."

"But for now, all it takes is to eliminate a scumbag... I'll have enough power to crush Diablo. ”

Li Qing said it very tactfully.

In fact, he is really greedy for the head of Hongcun Shizhao now.

He followed the principle of killing only the bad guys, but then a drawback slowly appeared - he killed too hard, and the bad guys were not enough.

Li Qing has been waiting for it for the past few days.

But those scum in the Passion organization are really not competitive enough, they became honest after being killed three times, and no one dared to challenge them after a few days of trouble.

It's just one head away from being upgraded, why doesn't anyone come?!

Now it is difficult to find a scumbag in Duwang Town, who has done a lot of evil, has more than enough death, and perfectly conforms to Li Qing's principle of killing, but Giorno wants to stop it at such a critical moment.

"Li Qing, I understand your thirst for power."

"But, at least this time, I like that you can be merciful."

Giorno heard Li Qing's attitude, but he still refused to let go.

Li Qing, who was in a hurry to upgrade and evolve into a humanoid platinum star, suddenly had a small opinion about this close friend who had lived and died along the way:

"Giorno, what do you mean by that?"

"Was it because I was moved by what happened to the Hongcun family, so I refused to make a move? No kidding..."

"A villain who does a lot of evil can be whitewashed with a tragic memory, and this is the most hated drama I hate!"

“.......”

Giorno was silent and did not speak.

But Li Qing became even more annoyed by the silent protest of his best friend:

"Or do you think I'm just a hypocritical villain?"

"Do you think all the high-sounding truths I said are just lies, just excuses for me to want to kill people for profit?"

"If that's the case, that's a disappointment!"

The words Li Qing said were three points false and seven points true, and they were not hypocritical words.

After all, if he really just wants to earn experience... So why don't you learn from Joclatt and play Slaughter City?

His level 4 is a double A in force speed, and the upper limit of the system's level is 18.

If Li Qing really made up his mind to rush into the city and kill for a day, and cut down the grass with a matchless, I am afraid that no one in this world could stop him.

The only thing that can stop him is his own conscience.

But Li Qing felt that his best friend was questioning him.

Li Qing's face was very ugly, but in the face of Li Qing's angry questioning, Giorno still maintained that deep silence.

He bit his lip tightly, his nose twitched slightly, and his expression was unusually responsible.

Giorno still didn't speak.

But his eyes, which had always been calm as water, were now filled with a human complexity.

"This..."

Li Qing finally noticed Giorno's strangeness:

This natural protagonist, who was perfect from head to toe like a son of God, finally faded from that untouchable divinity at this moment and became like a fragile person.

There was something emotion that was frantically haunting Giorno and making it difficult for him to get out.

He was no longer as rational as he used to be, but became as impulsive as an ordinary teenager.

"I see..."

Li Qing sighed lightly, and he found that he had made a complete mistake:

From the very beginning, this matter has nothing to do with right and wrong, and has nothing to do with the battle of ideas.

Giorno also knew that Hongcun Xingzhao should be killed, and knew that Li Qing urgently needed to upgrade his experience, but he instinctively wanted to stop it.

Because Dio, the man who gave him life.

Just now, Giorno realized what kind of sin his father had committed.

It may be to make up for the fault of the father, it may be because of something more complicated and unspeakable psychological...

As Dio's son, in the face of the Hongcun family, who fell into endless pain because of that man, he really couldn't bear to say the word "kill".

"Let him go this time."

Giorno rarely spoke to Li Qing in such a weak voice.

"Hmm..."

Li Qing looked at Giorno's awkward face.

He spent half a minute suppressing his eagerness to upgrade, and then gritted his teeth and reluctantly said:

"Well... Don't kill this time. ”

The duck flew away, and the ice cream that had just been handed down fell to the ground.

It's like seeing the miserable farmers who have worked so hard to raise big fat pigs being washed away by floods, Li Qing's flesh hurts so much now that he just wants to cry.

But he still endured, in order to take care of Giorno's mood.

Moreover, speaking of which, this is not the first time that Li Qing has compromised because of Giorno...

After all, according to Li Qing's principle, all the scum in the Passion organization are innocent.

If he was allowed to decide, he would definitely kill them one by one according to the list of organizations, and set off an exterminating bloody storm in the organization.

But Li Qing didn't do that.

It's not that he doesn't dare, but because Giorno's dream is to become a Gang-Star-

If Li Qing killed all those scum and exchanged them for experience, how could Giorno, a bare-bones commander, be a gangster superstar?

Therefore, Li Qing finally resisted his eagerness to upgrade, and in turn helped Giorno to absorb the scum of the Passion organization.

Think about it again...

Since Li Qing has even absorbed those mafia villains, there is indeed no reason to hold on to Hongcun now.

"Well... Well..."

"Don't kill... There is no delay in upgrading later..."

Li Qing endured the heartache and said his decision in a hesitant manner.

Giorno didn't say much, just sighed deeply: "Thank you." ”

"It's fine."

Li Qing responded to Giorno with a smile on his face.

When he turned his head to look at Hongcun Xingzhao, his face instantly became gloomy as ink:

"Hongcun Xingzhao, you are lucky this time."

"I've decided to let you go."

"W-What?" Hongcun Xingzhao, who had been desperate for a long time, was stunned by the good news: "I don't have to die? ”

"Great!"

Hongcun Yitai, who was originally hugging his eldest brother and crying bitterly, suddenly cried even more:

"Big brother, you can survive, survive with me and my father!"

All of a sudden, the father and son were even more emotional, and tears flowed even more unrelentingly.

The warm and touching smell became more and more intense.

Li Qing's face became more and more ugly - as soon as the atmosphere became up, he looked more like a villain.

"Death crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped!"

Li Qing still feels sorry for his experience in the end.

In order to make up for the loss, he had to grit his teeth and say to Hongcun Zhengzhao:

"You have killed so many people, you must use the rest of your life to atone for your sins!"

"What to do?" Hongcun Shio, who had already deeply realized his mistake, asked very seriously.

"It's simple."

"Atonement is about changing oneself and helping others from now on, fighting crime and practicing justice."

I only heard Li Qingyi say in a righteous manner:

"It just so happens that Giorno and I are interested in running a non-profit organization that promotes mutual assistance in public security."

"Our business has just started, and the number of core members is limited and there is a shortage of manpower."

This is a very serious and real problem.

There are more than 700 regular employees in the organization, but the new boss Giorno can only rely on 6 people, such as Li Qing and Bugarati.

With such a small number of people, it is very difficult to manage the organization, and they really need to recruit some reliable subordinates to help.

"So, Rainbow Village..."

"You can join us and be a thug for us... Ahem... When security. ”

"Of course, because you have come to atone for your sins, not to be rich... Don't think about this salary too high. ”

In order to change the malpractice of the low-level employees in the Diablo era, the first thing the new boss did after taking office was to directly increase the wages of regular employees by a full ten times.

Working as a thug in the mafia instantly became a promising and high-paying profession.

Now Li Qing has not eaten the experience of his mouth, and he asked him to pay such a high salary to this experience baby... It really hurts to think about it.

"The salary will be paid according to the standard of the previous assassination team."

Li Qing said without blushing.

Hiromura didn't know what the "standard of the assassination team" was referring to, but he didn't care about the salary at all.

All he knew now was that his life had been picked up in earnest.

"Everything is arranged by the boss!"

Hongcun Shizhao immediately changed his tune.

's life has been picked up, what's the point of working for someone.

And today he also untied the knot between him and his father, and his life seems to be completely new.

"No matter what the job is, I'll do it hard."

"The sins I have committed, I will slowly repay them with the rest of my life."

Hongcun Shizhao took his position very seriously.

And Li Qing was shocked to find that this kid had really changed his mentality.

Because, at that moment, Li Qing suddenly found that he could already use the golden bell jar on Hongcun Xingzhao - this guy regarded Li Qing as the boss from the bottom of his heart, and was therefore judged by the system to be a trustworthy "teammate".

"Very good, do it well in the future."

Seeing that Hongcun Xingzhao surrendered so sincerely, Li Qing's murderous intent really faded.

"Big brother doesn't have to die!"

"I can always be with my big brother in the future!"

Hongcun Yitai held the hand of the monster father, and followed the shape with tears in the corners of his eyes:

"Where the eldest brother is, the home is there."

"In the future, I will also work with my eldest brother to make money!"

The warm and harmonious atmosphere of the family carnival has become even stronger.

"Hmm..."

Hearing that Hongcun Yitai also came to show his loyalty as a junior brother, Li Qing's expression was a little strange.

He carefully recalled the brilliant performance of Hongcun Yitai in the battle just now, and then taught with seriousness and kindness:

"Yitai... You'd better find a school and study hard. ”

"You can't do the work of our company."
