Chapter 229 Dreams and Life

In the waiting hall.

At the moment when Li Qing rose into the air and walked through the wall, Prosit was not shocked.

Because the intelligence said that Li Qing had some ability to move quickly over long distances, and this was why he insisted on taking Bessie, a rookie, into battle.

The Beach Boy is a stand-in with great potential, and there is absolutely no chance that the fish caught by it will be unhooked.

Therefore, Prosit believed that Li Qing could not escape.

And the reality did not live up to his confidence in Bessie.

The fishing line quickly straightened as Li Qing fled, from a curve to a straight line, and finally turned into a transparent string as tight as iron.

The string is not broken.

"S-succeeded!"

Bessie showed joy after a brief shock:

"Brother Procute, my beach boy kept that bald guy."

"He is 50 meters away now, in that direction. It's on the train platform!"

"and"

Bessie carefully felt the strong vibration coming from the fishing line.

Although he couldn't see clearly through two walls, he could vaguely sense the enemy's status through the fishing line:

"Hahaha, that guy seems to have hit the platform ground."

"Judging from the speed and power of this vibration, he should be seriously injured now!"

"very good."

There was a hint of praise in Prosit's eyes at the right time:

The Beach Boys' fishing hooks not only pierce deeply into the target's flesh, but can also remotely sense the enemy's breath according to Bessie's wishes, and flexibly penetrate according to the situation.

Even if it is useless to chop off the hands and feet, the snake-like fishing hook will definitely re-enter the human body as soon as possible.

and

"With Li Qing's current aging body, I'm afraid he will no longer be able to accurately target targets with his sensory abilities."

"As long as the positioning light group cannot hit anyone, let alone escape from the station, even if he wants to use his mobility ability to move short distances within the fishing line, it will be difficult to do so."

"Now Li Qing has become a fish that cannot escape!"

Prosit didn't hesitate at all.

He left Bessie alone and turned towards the ticket inspection channel leading to the platform:

"Bessie, he can only move within a 50-meter range centered on you."

"As long as you hold the fishing rod firmly and stand firm, Li Qing's space for movement will become very limited."

While walking, Prosciut did not forget to seriously tell Bessie:

"I'll go to the platform to grab the box. You stay here and don't move around."

"Brother, wait!"

Bessie swallowed:

"Just, just let me stay in the waiting hall alone?"

"Lee Sin's companions are outside, if they come in now"

Prosit's steps suddenly stopped.

He turned around, his eyes were not angry or impatient, but as deep as the sea:

"Indeed, Li Qing's companions may come in to support at any time."

"Even if my hero Chengren has set up a 'defense line' covering the entire station, I cannot rule out such risks."

"But so what?"

"I've already told you what I need to say. Do you want me to repeat the same words?"

Prosit's voice was resounding, and every word penetrated deeply into the soul:

"It's time to show your consciousness!"

"Bessie, Bessie, Bessie, promise me——"

"No matter what happens, even if your hands are chopped off and your feet are chopped off, you can't let go of your fishing rod!"

"yes"

Bessie's response was still so weak.

But he still unconsciously, tightly, tightly grasped the fishing rod.

"I'll leave this to you."

"Give me a minute, if I don't come back with the box in one minute"

The calm voice made slight waves:

"You come!"

Prosit walked towards the platform without looking back.

Only a silhouette is left.

Train platform.

Li Qing still maintained a superficial calm habitually.

But at this moment, his heart was actually twitching like an electrocuted pig on the slaughter line.

His body had just aged and he was not in a hurry to escape. He even stood there with a confident face and said coquettish words to the enemy. His arrogance was really a bit arrogant.

But this is really not a waste of time.

On the one hand, as a pioneer in detecting the enemy, Li Qing's duty is to obtain as much intelligence on the enemy as possible during the first contact.

On the other hand, Li Sin relies on his movement skills, so even if he really can't beat him, he can always run away.

And now, unexpectedly.

The echo strike that had never gone wrong was actually broken by a small fishhook.

The information was obtained, and no one ran away.

"It's too big!"

Li Qing's expression wavered slightly.

The sharp fishhook was like a maggot attached to the bone, slowly drilling into his flesh and blood.

The fishing line stretched straight in a slender and strong posture, giving Li Qing a shackles that he couldn't get rid of at all.

And what's even worse, even more suffocating is

"My blood volume?!"

Li Qing was shocked to find that his health was only 40% left.

When he took off from the waiting room, he still had more than 90% of his health. After flying over two walls and landing on the train platform, he lost more than half of his health!

In other words, the collision on the platform just now cost him most of his life.

This is an incredible thing:

Indeed, with the speed of echo attack that is faster than that of a high-speed train, a crash halfway would definitely hurt.

But Li Qing knows his body very well, and he knows that his "armor" attribute should be much higher than that of ordinary people.

Normally, this impact would indeed cause him to lose a certain amount of health, but it should never cause him such a high loss of life unless

"Have I become 'brittle'?"

Li Qing pinched his withered and thin arm with an ugly expression.

The loose flesh and blood no longer looked as hard as cast iron.

With just a little exertion, a shocking bruise will appear on the withered skin.

Even though the wound would disappear instantly under the influence of digitization, this small action that could be completely ignored at ordinary times has now actually caused a loss of health to Li Qing.

Yes, he is old, too old to bear a beating.

While his strength and speed have dropped significantly due to excessive aging, his defense has also dropped to the point where he is almost the same as, or even worse than, ordinary people.

And what's even more terrifying is.

Li Sin's proud hearing has deteriorated.

Although he is still better than ordinary people, he can still vaguely hear the sound of the train rolling over the rails in the distance, and hear the painful groans of several nearby passers-by after aging, but that's all.

As the aging of the body continues to increase under the influence of Zhuang Lie Chengren, that magical "sixth sense" gradually disappears.

In the past, Li Qing could perceive space and contours by sound. Compared with normal people, he could not see colors and details - except that he could not see chakra, the effect was actually similar to the Byakugan.

But now, Li Qing has gradually changed from a "blind monk" to a "blind man".

Let alone fighting, if this continues, it will become difficult for him to even walk.

"what to do?"

"With that fishing line that I can't get rid of, I can't leave now."

"I am so weak that I have no ability to resist, but the enemy will soon come from the waiting hall fifty meters away."

"And I was only focused on protecting the box. The phone in my pocket had just been broken and the contact was cut off. I don't know how long it will take for Giorno and the others to arrive for support."

The situation suddenly reversed like an overturned hourglass, and Li Qing was caught off guard and put into a near-death situation.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps coming from the waiting hall.

Prosciutto is coming.

It’s only a distance of 50 meters, and you can run it in a few seconds if you hurry up.

There is not much time left for Li Qing.

But he can't do anything now because he has lost his "superpower".

Li Qing could only move slowly and aimlessly in the darkness, carefully groping the terrain, trying hard not to fall off the platform.

This is of course in vain.

Before he could take a few steps, Prosit was already running in front of Li Qing.

Li Qing's faltering appearance caught Proshute's eyes, but he acted in a measured manner, but he did not let down his guard at all because of the enemy's tragic situation.

"Li Qing."

"You are indeed still old."

"No matter how hard a stone is for thousands of years, it will weather. Even if it is as strong as you, it cannot withstand the erosion of time."

While Prosit cautiously approached with his substitute step by step, he tried to use words to disturb Li Qing's mind:

"It's impossible for you to defeat me now."

"Look at your broken body and your pitiful life."

Observing Li Qing's old and decayed body and the greatly reduced health bar above his head, Prosit continued to move forward boldly.

The box Li Qing was holding tightly in his hand also attracted his attention at this moment.

“Isn’t aging scary?”

"You made a condition for us before, and I will make a condition for you now:"

Prosit came closer.

With his extremely oppressive voice:

"As long as you give me what I want, I might be able to spare your life."

"Give you what you want?"

Li Qing's voice has become very old:

"Is it this box?"

"If you hand over this box, I can save my life, right?"

To Li Qing, this box is actually not important.

Because he doesn't love money, money means nothing to him.

What's more, this money is still game currency in the "game world".

But this box is not just about money,

It's a mission-critical prop:

Only by getting this inheritance, which is related to the financial lifeline of the organization, can they truly control the organization, and Giorno can truly become a gangster superstar.

Gangster superstar, that was Giorno's dream.

For this dream, Giorno risked his life without hesitation and embarked on a journey with Li Qing, who met by chance.

But now, the dreams of my companions and my own life

The two turned out to be a multiple-choice question.

"Hello"

Seeing that Prosit was about to approach, Li Qing suddenly asked in a confused manner:

"If there was a well of lava in front of you, would you jump in to save someone you've known for half an hour?"

"Um?"

Prosit's approaching figure did not pause.

But he still subconsciously replied: "Of course not."

"I didn't know how to do it."

Li Qing silently put the box back into his pocket and packed it carefully.

He raised his head, his cloudy eyes shining brightly:

"If you want the box, kill me first."
