Lee Sin's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 304 The Tram Problem
Block, block?

Li Qing actually blocked Xin Hongjiali's attack?

No, it's not just as simple as blocking.
This is suppression, Li Qing used the purest power to suppress the hot pepper!

Polnareff's expression became incomparably wonderful.

Xin Hongjiao couldn't see clearly in the game, but he, a bystander, could see the situation just now clearly:
Li Qing just took advantage of Xin Hongjiali's over-focus to launch a surprise attack.

But he didn't use the Echo Strike, and he didn't use the Golden Bell Shield.

He just used his own legs to run out at the speed of a lightning phantom, and used that extremely fast speed to suppress the opponent in an upright manner!
That incomparable pungent red pepper was actually suppressed at its most proud speed.

Yin Shiming, who thought he was the fastest man in the world, immediately met someone who was faster than him.

According to Polnareff's observation and comparison.
Where is Li Qing here?
This is simply a human-shaped Platinum Star!
Li Qing is no longer an existence beyond the limits of human beings, but an existence beyond the limits of a substitute.

The highest rating A on the stand-in panel can no longer accurately describe his speed and strength.

"So strong."

"If you have this kind of power and speed, then the spicy red pepper is nothing to worry about!"

After realizing this, Polnareff's eyes burst with infinite hope.

Although a little sorry for those old friends.

But Polnareff knew that he might not be able to reunite with them this time.

Because Li Qing has obtained this kind of power enough to reverse the situation.

There is no doubt that he has upgraded!
"and many more."

"Li Qing has been upgraded."

"How did he upgrade?"

"Who did he kill in that short half-minute?"

Polnareff's expression was first stunned, then pleasantly surprised, and then suddenly became complicated, even tinged with fear.

Giorno and Li Qing didn't shy away from Polnareff when they chatted in the attic before, so he knew very well:
Li Qing was indeed about to level up.

But upgrading requires the life of the stand-in messenger as a sacrifice.

And just now Li Qing and Qiao Luno only left for less than half a minute
The Hongcun brothers are still hiding in the house here, and they will definitely not be sacrificed.

Yoshikage Kira was not far away at Dongfang's house, but he was not a weak chicken who could be slaughtered, and it was impossible for Li Qing to solve him in such a short time.

So, whose life did Li Qing use as a sacrifice?
Are there any other stand-ins around here?

"Difficult, is it?"

Polnareff's expression became extremely ugly:

The possibility of Kira and Hongcun has been ruled out, and the only substitute messengers left in the vicinity are
"Giorno."

Polnareff read the name blankly.

He suddenly remembered that when he and Giorno left Hongcun's house together, Giorno stopped to take a fruit knife from the table.

At first, he only thought that Giorno wanted to use a knife to defend himself, but then he faintly felt that something was wrong:
Facing spicy red pepper, what can a small fruit knife do?
Polnareff had never been able to figure this out, but now.
Fruit Knife, Qiao Luno, the "deny" mechanism that Li Qing mentioned publicly in the morning, and the upgrade conditions that Li Qing mentioned in the attic.
These fragmentary clues were suddenly connected into a complete logical line, which pointed straight to the only possibility.

Only this answer can explain why Li Qing can upgrade, return, and save him so quickly:
"Giorno"

"Did he sacrifice his life to save me?"

Tears overflowed from the corners of Polnareff's eyes unconsciously.

He hadn't cried like this in years.

That only explanation, that cruel answer made his scarred heart unbearable for a while.

"It's like this again. It's like this again"

"Did I watch my companion leave for me again?"

Polnareff knelt down and clenched his fists tightly.

What kind of absurd fate is this?

He once suffered countless pains because of that man, but now he was saved by that man's son who sacrificed his life.

"Giorno!!"

Polnareff raised his head to the sky and screamed, tears welling up.

In the hazy tears, he could even vaguely see that Giorno's golden soul was smiling and waving towards him.

"that."

"Mr. Polnareff."

A very familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind Polnareff:

"Just tell me if you need treatment, there's no need to shout so loudly."

"Ugh?!"

Polnareff's surging emotions froze for a moment.

He turned back stiffly, only to see that familiar boy standing in front of him alive.

"You, you're not dead, are you?"

Polnareff said with both surprise and joy.

"Yeah, I'm not dead."

Giorno grinned slightly, showing a rare gentle smile:

"It's a long story."

half a minute ago.

Giorno held Li Qing's hand, letting the sharp blade approach his throat gradually.

The tip of the knife was getting closer and closer to the neck.

In the next second, the sharp blade will pierce Giorno's throat deeply.

And Li Qing will also gain part of his lack of experience, and bear Giorno's life on his back to win the final victory.

But right now.
However, Li Qing suddenly burst out with strength, and threw the blade in his hand aside bitterly.

Of course, Qiao Luno couldn't compete with Li Qing in strength.

Li Qing couldn't bear to do it, he absolutely couldn't force it.

"Li Qing."

Giorno didn't blame Li Qing for his impulsive behavior like a child throwing a tantrum.

He just said in that calm tone:

"Just accept it, it's a decision you have to make."

"I know"

Li Qing clenched his fist tightly.

There was a gloomy gleam in his godless eyes, making his pupils covered by shadows even more eerie:

"I've already made this decision—"

"I will not kill you no matter what."

"If I can only save one person, I choose to save you."

At that moment just now, Li Qing had already made a difficult and cruel balance in his heart:

If you don't upgrade, the Polnareff and Hongcun brothers who stay in place will die.

To upgrade, Giorno's life must be sacrificed.

Then this is actually a multiple-choice question: choose to save Polnareff and Hongcun Brothers, or choose to save Giorno.

One side is to save 3 people, and the other side is to save 1 person. It seems that the former should be chosen.

However, for Li Qing
Brother Hongcun, who are you two?

Why would I sacrifice my best friend for two guys I just met?
The weight of these two people was immediately eliminated, and only Polnareff and Giorno remained at the two ends of the balance.

This is still a very difficult choice.

Polnareff is already Li Qing's recognized and trusted companion.

This middle-aged uncle has already won Li Qing's favor with his wisdom, strength, courage and optimism.

If possible, Li Qing would definitely sacrifice himself to save Polnareff's life.

But, but.
The sacrifice to be sacrificed now is not Li Qing, but Giorno.

It was the boy who had lived and died with him since Naples.

Without Giorno, he might have become a piece of meat and died on the afternoon of the first day of crossing the other world.

"I can't do it, I can't exchange your life for someone else's."

"People are selfish, and there are also close and distant friends among friends."

"If Mr. Jotaro were to make this choice, one would be a life-and-death friend who has known each other for more than ten years, and the other would be a foreign boy who had just known each other for a week."

"I think, if he has to choose, he will definitely make the same choice as me?"

Li Qing gritted his teeth tightly, using these words to comfort his heart.

But he actually knew that no matter how high-sounding the reason he found out, the decision he made today would cast a shadow on him for the rest of his life.

Polnareff, his abandoned companion, will become his eternal pain from now on.

But even so, Li Qing gritted his teeth and said:
"This choice is wrong no matter how you choose, so I can only act according to the option I want to choose in my heart!"

"So, Giorno."

"Let's run quickly!"

"."

Giorno was silent and did not speak.

He stared at Li Qing with complicated eyes, and then said in a deep tone:
"Li Qing, you're still playing dumb."

"You should know that we can't escape from Xinhongjiali's pursuit at all."

"There are cables and wires everywhere in Duwang Town, that guy can turn himself into an electric current and shuttle through the wires—"

"No matter how fast you run, can you still run faster than that current?"

"And Mr. Polnareff can't stop the enemy for a long time at all. After he falls, the enemy will soon chase us along the wire."

Giorno slowly expressed what was on his mind.

Li Qing's expression suddenly became extremely subtle, as if someone had seen through his thoughts.

"I know what you're thinking."

"You want to bring me as close as possible to Mr. Jotaro."

"When Xinhongjiali comes after you, you will intercept it just like Mr. Polnareff just now."

"You want to use this life relay method to create more escape time for me, and the price you pay will be your life."

Giorno expressed all Li Qing's thoughts.

He completely took the initiative in this debate, and his words made it impossible for Li Qing to refute:

"The multiple-choice question you mentioned was actually wrong from the beginning."

"In fact, on one side of the balance is me, and on the other side is you, the Nijimura brothers, Polnareff, and a chance to solve the enemy once and for all."

"1 vs. 5, I know exactly what to choose."

"Also, Li Qing"

Giorno paused slightly, his gaze became more and more complicated:

"You want to save me, and I want to save you too."

"."

Li Qing was completely speechless.

Indeed, if he doesn't upgrade now, he really can only use that life relay method to deal with Xinhongjiali.

At that time, not only Polnareff will die, but he may also be counted.

But even so, he still wanted to choose this option.

But this thought was completely seen through by Giorno.

"If you don't kill me, I will kill myself."

Giorno, who sees through everything, begins to use this extreme method to force Li Qing to make a "sensible and correct" decision.

"Damn. Why is this happening"

"Do you have to force me to make such a cruel decision?"

Li Qing's body trembled violently.

He couldn't imagine what would happen next, and he didn't dare to predict the choice he made at the last moment.

He began to hate himself for being weak, so much so that he needed his best friend to threaten and sacrifice his life in order to survive.

In this way, Li Qing fell into endless pain.

Giorno, who was standing in front of him, could also feel this pain.

The two of them just stood there in silence, as if the whole world was standing still at this moment.

However, time is not really completely frozen.

The earth is still going on as usual, and at this moment
Just like countless leisurely afternoons in the past in Duwang Town, a passerby walked by the side of the road at a leisurely pace.

Of course Li Qing was not in the mood to pay attention to an ordinary passerby.

In fact, he and Giorno, who were entangled in life and death all the way, were not in the mood to pay attention to the surrounding environment at the moment. They only knew that they had not escaped far, but they did not notice that they had escaped to the area near Dongfang's house.

But the passerby knew.

He is just an ordinary neighborhood resident.

He couldn't feel the pain of Li Qing and Giorno, for him this journey was so leisurely and comfortable.

Familiar streets, familiar air, and familiar community landscape——

"Yo, Angelo!"

Out of a recent local custom, the passer-by cheerfully greeted the ugly sculpture by the side of the road.

This soft greeting was like a thunderclap, which revitalized the two best friends who were parting from each other.

"Ok?"

Li Qing and Giorno raised their heads at the same time.

Powerful perception and sharp eyes locked on the stones beside the road at the same time:

"Angelo?"
