The Greatest Humiliation

If the distance is close enough, even a blind person can hit the target every time.

Li Qing firearms proficiency was almost zero, always believed in this shooting principle and carried it through to the end.

At this moment, the barrel of Li Qing's gun had already been inserted into the car through the lowered window, and he was only one passenger seat away from the uninvited guest named Sandro.

At such close range, he was absolutely certain that his bullet would successfully take the enemy's life.

So, Li Qing confidently pulled the trigger.

In that split second, Sandro also came up with his countermeasures.

A figure suddenly appeared on his body, a small figure—clearly, it was his double.

Because the Digitization Mode has been activated, Li Qing cannot see the true appearance of the enemy's double.

But if he had sight now, he would definitely get goosebumps from the grotesque appearance of the other person's stand-in:

It was a humanoid stand-in that was almost the same size as an infant.

Its appearance is like that of an organization doll often seen in horror movies, wearing a gothic black dress, with naturally curly blonde hair—and of course, corpse-like dark gray skin, and rotting wounds all over its body.

The torn corners of his mouth stretched into an exaggerated and eerie arc, and a pair of large, unsettlingly cloudy eyes stared wide-eyed at Li Qing, refusing to let go.

Surprisingly, that's the only thing it does now.

You should know that Li Qing had already pulled the trigger.

However, the small stand-in that suddenly appeared did not demonstrate any ability to withstand bullets, nor did it make any move to stop Li Qing from firing.

It clung tightly to Sandro's body like a koala, then twisted its neck back at an eerie angle, finally staring intently at Li Qing with a pair of chillingly large eyes.

Aside from looking, it did nothing else, as if staring at people was its only ability.

But Li Qing's gun had already fired.

The firing pin ignites the primer in a mere 0.1 seconds, and the burning gunpowder instantly increases the internal pressure of the cartridge case to 280 kg/cm², propelling the ordinary little metal block out of the barrel at a lethal speed of 400 m/s.

At that moment, the bullet was only half a meter away from Sandro's head.

No one could dodge such a swift attack at such close range; even Li Qing, whose strength surpassed that of humans, could not do it.

However.

In the very next instant.

Sandro remained seated in the driver's seat without moving, while the "doll double" stared blankly at Li Qing, as if they were both just sitting there waiting to die.

But the bullets just couldn't hit them.

Whether it was Li Qing's hand shaking or a problem with the gun's quality, this bullet, which was sure to hit, missed at such close range.

It narrowly escaped from Sandro's ear, ultimately only shattering a car window and leaving behind a pile of debris.

"How so?!"

Li Qing was extremely surprised.

He wasn't surprised that Sandro hadn't died, but rather that the man had survived in this way.

The enemy seemed to have taken no action at all, but his bullets inexplicably went astray.

Could it be...?

Has my marksmanship gotten this bad?

Li Qing, who already lacked confidence in his aim, suddenly developed even greater doubts.

"Ha ha."

Sandro then added fuel to the fire with a mocking laugh:

"This weapon is not suitable for you, blind man."

As he spoke, Sandro leisurely pushed open the car door and got out, carrying his seemingly useless doll stand-in, and stood boldly in front of Li Qing.

"Want to try again?"

He deliberately moved a little closer to Li Qing:

"Perhaps if we get closer, your marksmanship will be sufficient?"

This is a provocation, a blatant provocation.

Li Qing was naturally not angered by such a low-level tactic, but he was genuinely worried because of the enemy's arrogance—in the world of Stand User, those who dare to be arrogant usually have the capital to be arrogant.

"My marksmanship can't be so bad that I can miss even from half a meter away. Could it be..."

Based on the strange phenomena that had just occurred, Li Qing began to make bold speculations:

"The enemy's Stand ability is to manipulate bullet trajectories?"

With so little information, he could only draw such a rough conclusion for the time being.

In order to uncover the truth further, Li Qing decided to use his ultimate move as a test against Sandro, who was so arrogant that he was practically face-to-face with him.

He clenched his five fingers into a fist, and a layer of shimmering white light suddenly emanated from between his knuckles.

The light flickered, then softened and solidified, finally transforming into a light bullet that shot out with Li Qing's fist strike:

"Sonically Enhanced Wave!"

This is Li Qing's best skill.

Unlike his clumsy marksmanship, Li Qing's Sonically Enhanced Wave was always accurate.

When he was at his best, he could even accurately hit a moving target 200 meters away with his Sonically Enhanced Wave. How could he miss when he was right in front of him in just half a meter?

However.

"It's useless."

Sandro shrugged, chuckling as he watched the Sonically Enhanced Wave veer off course and brush past him.

The Sonically Enhanced Wave, which Li Qing had almost used as a targeted skill, actually missed when the enemy was right in front of him.

Like the previous bullets, this ball of light narrowly missed Sandro's cheek and ultimately disappeared into the sky without serving any purpose.

"This is impossible!!"

Li Qing was utterly shocked:

Since acquiring this ability, no, since entering Summoner's Rift, he has never made the basic mistake of "missing a Q at point-blank range".

For Li Qing, a Blind Monk, missing a Q at point-blank range is the greatest humiliation of his life.

There's definitely something wrong.

Li Qing would rather die than believe that she was this bad.

He's Blind Monk, not someone who's actually blind.

"This must be the effect of the enemy's ability!"

"Could it be that the damn doll's ability is to make its host immune to ranged attacks?"

Based on the information obtained from the two consecutive probes, Li Qing further enriched his speculation.

But this explanation is still insufficient; it cannot explain why the enemy dared to stand in front of them, in a dangerous area that they could reach out and touch.

"Since ranged attacks are completely ineffective, then..."

"Try this!"

Li Qing's muscles, which looked like they were cast from steel, instantly tensed and bulged.

A power beyond human limits gathered within his muscles, ultimately coalescing into his clenched right fist in an unparalleled display of might.

This is just a simple, normal attack.

But given Li Qing's current physical condition, this punch could easily shatter rocks and pierce steel plates.

However, Sandro did not dodge even when faced with such a powerful Riot Games.

He stood there quietly, staring intently at Li Qing with a strange, playful, and mocking gaze, along with the terrifying doll entangled on his shoulder.

"I'll hit!"

Li Qing unleashed a powerful punch.

Every muscle in this extraordinary body can be perfectly controlled, and his Riot Games are completely under his control.

In this situation, it's absolutely impossible for the Riot Games to miss.

However.

"Huh?" Just as his Riot Games was halfway out, Li Qing suddenly slipped.

"Ah!" He tumbled forward in a comical pose, like an old ox offering New Year's greetings.

"Huh?" Li Qing's head hit the ground, and the culprit that caused his predicament happened to be right in front of his face, which was now in close contact with the earth:

"Fragrant, banana peel?"

That's right, the culprit that tripped him was a banana peel that someone had carelessly thrown on the ground.

The man, who is beyond human limits, just slipped and fell because of a banana peel.

How is that possible?!

With his body enhanced to this extent, Li Qing's control over his center of gravity was almost instinctive.

Even when walking on an icy downhill road in the northern winter, he is confident that he can stand firm.

Besides, it's just a banana peel.

"This is not scientifically sound."

Li Qing hurriedly got up from the ground.

After encountering such bizarre phenomena one after another, he stopped making pointless attempts to test the waters.

On the contrary, he cautiously took two steps back, maintaining a safe distance, and asked the enemy with a serious expression:

"What exactly did you do?"

To be honest, Li Qing still hasn't been able to figure out the "doll's" stand-in ability.

Sandro and the "doll" seemed to do nothing; they just stood there watching the show.

On the contrary, Li Qing himself made more and more mistakes and did worse and worse things, as if God was targeting him from the shadows.

"Etc."

Li Qing was somewhat surprised as she realized something.

"Ha ha."

Before Li Qing could speak, Sandro laughed with ease and contentment.

He seemed completely unconcerned about letting Li Qing know about his Stand ability, and even proactively reminded Li Qing when Li Qing had just begun to notice something amiss:

"No, I didn't do anything."

"It's just that your 'luck' has gotten worse."
