Chapter 262: Discovered
The babyface, whom Meloni regarded as a killing machine, was born in a high-speed service area toilet more than an hour ago.
Its mother was an unlucky young woman who was forced by Meloni to become the mother of the babyface because of her age and good health.
The influence of mothers on their children is enormous.
The babyface instinctively mimics the character of this poor woman, who was born with a timid and cowardly nature.
Meloni was extremely unhappy about this.
He believes that the killing machine only needs to know killing and madness, and should not know fear and fear.
He thinks that the more irritable the child should be, the more bloodthirsty the better, and it is better to give birth directly to a mad dog that is uncomfortable without biting.
But Babyface himself doesn't think so-
Yes, although it is said to be a stand-in, it has a super sense of self that can go against the mind of the ontological body.
In a sense, it's just a separate person.
"Fear is not a mistake..."
"Fear teaches people to be cautious and how to use their powers more perfectly."
On the surface, he didn't dare to refute the ontology, but Babyface always had his own thoughts in his heart:
"I'm going to kill that tall prey."
"But, use my own methods."
Because of Babyface's super self-awareness, Meloni can't completely control it.
This is not to say that Babyface can ignore Meloni's orders, but it still leaves a lot of room for freedom of movement while complying with orders-
Generally speaking, the relationship between the ontology and the stand-in is probably like that between the knife and the knife, and how the knife is wielded depends on the knife operator.
And the relationship between Meloni and Babyface is more like that of a commander and a soldier, no matter how remote control and micro-manipulation the platoon are carried out, the soldiers on the front line will definitely give priority to their own ideas when they fight.
Just like now...
According to Meloni, the hunt should be carried out like this:
Babyface quickly sneaks near the enemy, and descends the mountain with the tiger to cover up the shadows, and kills the enemy body with a single blow.
But Babyface himself doesn't think so:
"Uncle Risut is right..."
It casually called Risut, who had been traveling all the way, as an uncle:
"That muscular man dares to act alone with the treasure, his strength must be very strong."
"Be cautious when dealing with such prey."
"Raiding directly without planning is simply looking for death, I should have taken a smarter approach."
With this in mind, Babyface showed a disobedient move against Meloni's wishes from the beginning.
It did not approach its prey directly, but stopped at a distance to observe the direction in which it was going.
When it saw that Jotaro was about to leave the station and act alone, it immediately carefully avoided Jotaro's gaze, used its superhuman speed to quickly transfer, and finally quietly walked to Jotaro's path one step ahead.
Jotaro didn't know that after leaving the first corner of the station, a short and vicious little monster had already ambushed the road in advance.
"The man had been habitually walking on the sidewalk on the right."
"Well, if I disguise myself as a pavement tile, he will surely come up to me without even knowing it."
Babyface meditates on this simple but effective plan in his mind.
Its stand-in ability is very powerful.
Bloodline perception that can track his father's location remotely aside...
It can also divide humans or matter into tiny chunks and reassemble them into another object with a completely different shape.
This actually consists of two parts of ability:
disassembly, and recombination.
Meloni's previous training children have preferred the ability to "break down".
Because for those little monsters who are born specifically for killing, this ability to instantly break people down into countless small squares is undoubtedly the most perfect and powerful means of slaughter.
But this time the baby face is different from those previous games.
Its timid nature has taught it what caution is, allowing it to focus more on the ability to "reorganize" this part -
The disassembled cubes can be reassembled at will and perfectly change their appearance and shape.
This ability is, in a sense, the Seventy-Two Transformations of mythology, allowing Babyface to perfectly transform itself into any object of the right size.
It blends perfectly into any terrain, any environment, and even becomes a part of it so that the enemy doesn't even notice it.
"I just silently turned into tiles and hid in the sidewalk."
"Wait for that big man to come here unsuspectingly, walk up to me, and make close contact with me... Hey. ”
The baby-faced face actually showed a touch of extremely human cunning.
Thinking of this, it quickly leaned down and swung its fist at the ground of the sidewalk.
The moment the fist touched the ground, the bricks that had been firmly embedded in the pavement disintegrated into countless tiny squares in an instant.
The tiny cubes rose into the air like a cloud under the manipulation of the baby face, and were all sent into the large trash can next to it and hidden.
Soon, a wide pit appeared on the sidewalk.
At this time, Babyface could already hear the sound of Jotaro hurriedly stepping at the corner of the street behind him.
Its little heart skipped an instinctive beat.
But this did not affect its actions.
Before Jotaro could see him, Babyface repeated his old trick and broke up his body into countless tiny cubes.
These cloudy, dense cubes quickly rearrange and combine in mid-air, rapidly changing appearance and form in the process.
In just a split second, Babyface turned his body into a plain-looking floor tile.
The tiles fit into the pits on the pavement like Tetris.
In this way, the babyface blends perfectly with the ground.
The sidewalk was restored to its "original state", and it looked like there was not a single flaw.
And at this moment, Jotaro walked over unsuspectingly like a babyface expectantly.
A few more steps, he will walk up to Babyface's body and come into close contact with this ruthless killing machine.
"Let's walk straight like a car entering a toll booth..."
"I'm going to tear you to shreds in no time!"
The prey is about to be set.
Babyface inevitably gets excited.
..............................................
Moments ago.
Jotaro, of course, didn't know that he had been prey by a "child" who had just been born for an hour.
He had just left the station square at this time, and he was at the fork in the road and nodded goodbye to Li Qing and the others who were in charge of other directions.
"Let's go first."
"The situation is urgent, the sooner we get there, the better."
Bugarati's tone revealed a hint of anxiety.
Both Fogg and Naranga were like his family, and it was naturally impossible for him to be as calm as his habitual composure expression.
So, Bugarati understands better that they are now actually involved in an alternative racing game:
They had to meet their companions as quickly as possible and in the shortest possible time before the wounded could encounter a second wave of the enemy.
So, Bugarati said goodbye to Li Qing cleanly, turned around and called out a stand-in with a stern expression:
"Steeled Fingers!"
A muscular blue figure appeared in front of him:
"Ali Ali Ali Ali!"
Soon a zipper as wide as a steel rail appeared on the ground.
Bugarati immediately stepped on it without delay, and without saying a word, he also pulled up Apaki, who was walking with him.
"Let's go!"
Zipping up is like stepping on a skateboard.
Bugarati and Apaki glided out of their destination along the zippers that had been stretched out by their fingers.
Of course, this trick "zipper skateboard" is a common means of fast movement in Bugalati, and it is not a new trick.
But Li Qing on the side was a little inspired by this:
"It's true that now there is only half of Misda left, and he must be treated as soon as possible."
"Giorno - let's hurry up too!"
Li Qing said very decisively to his fellow Gioruno.
"Huh?" Giorno was slightly stunned: "Isn't your ability to move unable to bring people?" ”
"It's okay, I can just bring someone."
"I don't need skills, I can run with my legs and get a speeding ticket around town."
Li Qing's voice was tinged with a little smugness.
As he spoke, without waiting for Giorno to answer, he couldn't help but carry Giorno off the ground.
As an existence beyond the limits of human beings, Li Qing's strength is of course great.
The weight of more than 100 catties on his body does not affect the chic nature of his legs when he runs.
A person hanging on his shoulder is like hanging a light towel, and it will even float when he runs with all his might.
Regardless of Giorno's riding experience, at least the speed is absolutely sufficient.
In just a few seconds, Li Qing had already carried Giorno and quickly disappeared around the corner of the road.
That's it...
These two groups of people crossed the sea to show their powers, but in a moment, they disappeared.
Mr. Jotaro, who was considered the most reliable and powerful, was left far behind, and fell far behind on the road to saving his companions.
"Looks like I can't be left behind..."
"The situation on Polunarev's side may also be very bad."
On the one hand, under the influence of Li Qing and Bugarati, and on the other hand, he is worried about his best friend whose whereabouts are unknown, and Jotaro's pace has quietly accelerated to the maximum.
But that's not enough, at least not enough compared to the speed of the other two groups.
"We're going to have to put some effort into it."
Cheng Tailang thought so in his heart.
He hurried around the corner of the street, and the road ahead of him was a straight street.
This kind of flat, wide, and unobstructed straight path is very suitable for him to exert his displacement ability -
Of course, Jotaro doesn't have the ability to move quickly in the true sense of the word.
But he has the Platinum Star, the invincible Platinum Star.
Invincibility is omnipotent, and when the strength is so strong that it is an exaggeration, there are many problems that can be solved.
"It's been a long time since I've done such a big move..."
"Let's move our bodies first."
Jotaro's progress suddenly stopped.
In the past ten years, he has been busy falling in love, getting married, having children, going to school, reading a doctorate, and writing papers, but he really hasn't exercised very seriously.
As a result, Platinum Star's ability to stop time was degraded, and his own monster-like body was faintly dulled.
So, Jotaro stopped abruptly on the sidewalk.
Then, he began to stretch his muscles and move his joints so that his body could get into that state of adapting to the high acceleration load as quickly as possible.
And Jotaro, of course, doesn't know ...
While he was warming up, in the sidewalk in front of him...
There was a "floor tile" that was secretly observing him anxiously:
"Damn... Why not keep going? ”
"It's only one step away, why did he stop suddenly?"
"Am I being discovered? Isn't it true that he stopped in front of the trap so accurately, and I was indeed discovered, right? ”
"But... But... Why is he doing radio gymnastics in front of me! ”
"Could it be that he is moving his body, ready to beat me up later?"
originally thought that this baby face was very stable, but suddenly fell into a panic that could not be extricated.
It felt like it might be exposed.
Uncle Risut was right, the enemy was indeed a monster too strong to fight.
What to do, do you want to run?
But can you still run now?
It was only a few seconds, but Babyface felt like it was longer than an entire century.
That is, Jotaro is now busy moving his body and not paying attention to observation.
Otherwise, he would have been surprised to find that the whole ground in front of him was trembling.
And just when Babyface was thinking about determining all the varieties of flowers and plants on his grave, Jotaro had already completed the brief warm-up exercise:
"Platinum Star!"
As soon as this muscular figure with muscles exploded and bulged, it carried an invisible momentum.
If it weren't for the fact that he was so scared that he couldn't move, Babyface would have been scared off the spot like a cat that suddenly found a cucumber behind him.
"It's over... He actually used a stand-in. ”
"Sure enough, they're going to beat me!"
Babyface thought so desperately.
Then, something very unexpected happened.
After calling out the stand-in, Jotaro didn't look at the ground at all.
He took a generous step forward, just as he reached the ground where the babyface was disguised, and walked into the trap it had set in advance.
Jotaro came into close contact with Babyface in this way.
If Babyface erupts, it will be able to deliver the deadliest blow to the enemy quickly and suddenly, as it had planned.
"How so..."
"Didn't he even notice me?"
Babyface finally vaguely realized that he might just be thinking too much about himself.
Otherwise, Jotaro would have attacked the ground directly, and he would not have walked into the trap so unsuspectingly.
"So I'm still safe..."
Babyface secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Sensing the prey that was ignorantly stepping on itself, it instantly regained the confidence of that predator:
"Since he didn't even notice me, then I'm going to win."
"Now this guy is on me, I just have to quietly touch him with my hand..."
"He's dead!"
Babyface thought excitedly.
So, it mustered up its courage and quietly shed some of its disguise, allowing its arms to quietly "grow" out of the ground.
And at this moment, the baby-faced nirvana has not yet had time to take shape...
I could only hear a calm snort from above:
"Platinum Star - Full Speed Ahead!"
As soon as the words fell, Shirokane Star grabbed Jotaro's arm tightly, holding him firmly with himself.
And then...
The platinum star burst out with maximum force and stomped heavily on the ground.
Enormous forces poured down to the ground like a flood.
A shocking pit was instantly stepped on the hard "floor tiles" of the sidewalk.
At the same time, the corresponding terrifying reaction force caused the Platinum Star and Jotaro to soar into the sky like rockets.
It was just a jump, and they flew straight out a distance of tens of meters.
This is Jotaro's "displacement ability".
And in such a sharp jumping flight, Jotaro, who had just jumped into the air, couldn't help frowning slightly:
"How do you feel like there's a child's scream somewhere..."
"Is it a delusion?"
The road was very empty, and only a few passers-by scattered in the distance were shocked by the "trapeze" just now.
There are no children around at all, and it is naturally impossible to talk about "children's screams".
And when he looked back on the ground, Jotaro could only see a few dozen meters away, the broken road surface that had been stepped out of a cobweb crack by the platinum star.
"Sure enough, it's a delusion..."
Jotaro didn't pay too much attention to what had just happened.
Considering Polunarev's safety, in order not to lose time, he immediately turned around and continued the next jump.
And at this time, in the "ruins" that Jotaro didn't notice at all...
A pitiful and feeble voice sounded so intermittently:
"I... Absolute... Yes..."
"It's been discovered."
