Miss Misfortune
Li Qing never gave up resisting.
Whether in battle or in a game, as a stubborn player who has never surrendered, he will fight to the very end, even in a hopeless and unfavorable situation.
But the current situation is more dire than any adversity, because Li Qing must face a problem that is almost impossible to answer:
How should one contend with the elusive and unpredictable nature of fate?
Attacking might result in stepping on a banana peel, running away might lead to crashing into steel bars, and even area-of-effect skills can cause the ground to collapse.
No matter what he does, something unfortunate will always happen.
This misfortune would render all his efforts futile, making his dying struggle seem ridiculous and comical.
But Li Qing did not give up; he diligently grasped the only potentially useful clue he had:
"Under the influence of misfortune, everything I did was in vain."
"But there's only one difference."
"When I was running away, Sandro caught up with me."
He hadn't even run a single step before the enemy started chasing him, which means that the enemy's Stand ability is not only limited in range, but also that the range of influence of this ability must be very small.
Since Sandro needed to actively pursue his target instead of waiting for misfortune to befall him, it means that the act of "escaping" was actually very likely to succeed.
This might be a special hidden mechanism of its Stand:
Sandro must take the initiative to pursue and close the distance between himself and his target before misfortune will do the rest for him.
Then, let's reason in reverse:
As long as Sandro doesn't chase, he has a good chance of successfully escaping the range of Sandro's Stand ability.
Sandro, who cannot affect others with his misfortune, is no different from an ordinary person—as long as you can always maintain a safe distance from him, you can easily solve the problem with some of the most common firearms.
Given that, the question now is...
How can I stop Sandro from chasing me, or how can I make him unaware that I'm running away?
"Damn it."
Li Qing suddenly realized that no matter how much she thought about it, she had still fallen into a dead end:
"Nothing I do goes right now. Is there any way I can just disappear from his sight?"
"In the end, I'm still not strong enough!"
Because his skills were too "simple," Li Qing often felt powerless in the face of them.
If he could also have that ability to pause time and eliminate time bugs, many problems would be easily solved.
By then, Sandro probably won't even realize what's happening; he'll have already silently reached the safe zone in his own unique timeline.
"No, stop!"
Li Qing suddenly Riot Games.
He promptly dispelled the unrealistic fantasies in his mind.
Fantasizing about having an IQ of 300 won't change the fact that you're failing every subject, and fantasizing about being a billionaire won't change the fact that you're eating instant noodles every day. Daydreaming never solves anything; it only gradually erodes a person's courage to face reality.
He is neither Dio nor Diavolo; he is simply himself.
All he could rely on was his own two Riot Games.
"I see."
A unique gleam suddenly appeared in Li Qing's previously lifeless eyes:
"That's right, running away is never the solution!"
That "inspirational speech" not only gave him the courage to face the problem, but also made him realize the key to solving it.
Sandro also noticed the change in Li Qing's expression in that brief moment:
From tension to confusion, then to encouragement, and finally to high spirits.
"As expected, you're not the kind of person who gives up so easily."
"In that case, let me help you and help you end your misfortune as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sandro slowly took a pistol out of his pocket.
He didn't even aim properly; he simply pointed the gun at Li Qing and then calmly pulled the trigger.
Gunshots rang out suddenly.
Li Qing did not dodge; instead, he leaped up to meet the gunshot.
Knowing he had no chance of dodging the bullets given his current misfortune, he simply stopped trying to dodge.
His perfectly quantifiable body gave him the confidence to face bullets head-on. Li Qing completely ignored the bullet holes that appeared and disappeared on his body in an instant, and leaped back to the ground from the collapsed crater.
Looking at Li Qing, who had suddenly perked up, Sandro couldn't help but feel a little wary:
What exactly does he want to do?
Is there really any way to fight against misfortune?
Sandro's previous enemies usually died after being hit, so this was the first time he had ever experienced something like this.
Under Sandro's slightly cautious gaze, Li Qing quickly gave his answer:
"Run!"
Li Qing turned around, took a step, and continued to flee in a different direction.
"."
Sandro was silent for a moment, then chuckled:
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Is this your last trick?"
As he ran after Li Qing, he shouted in a mocking tone:
"It's like an ignorant newbie who keeps shutting down and restarting the computer, hoping it will fix itself."
"Always doing the same thing but expecting different results will only bring you unrealistic hopes!"
Sandro shouted so arrogantly.
The terrifying doll wrapped around his shoulder also stared wide-eyed at Li Qing.
To them, Li Qing was already prey who had completely fallen into their trap.
And it seems that this is indeed the case:
Li Qing fled forward at a speed far exceeding that of a human, and the distance between the two sides widened dramatically in that short instant.
But just as before, just when Li Qing was about to completely leave Sandro behind and escape a full ten meters away, a sudden change occurred!
A utility pole that was standing perfectly fine suddenly broke in half.
The concrete pillar crumbled inch by inch, and the thick upper half of the utility pole tilted downwards, instantly severing a row of high-voltage cables mounted on it.
In the blink of an eye, the toppled utility pole crashed down on Li Qing.
Not only did Li Qing fail to escape, but he was also hit on the head by that heavy cement pillar.
Bang!
Li Qing staggered.
Fortunately, he was physically strong enough that he wasn't knocked to the ground by the blow.
"Haha, just as I expected!"
Sandro laughed gleefully.
However, before he could even display his mocking smile, he vanished into the darkness.
Yes, darkness suddenly descended upon this place.
The utility poles collapsed, the power lines were severed, and the power supply to the construction site was naturally interrupted.
This uninhabited area, which was originally brightly lit by lights, has now been plunged into darkness due to the power outage.
Sandro's smile froze.
Because as darkness enveloped everything, Li Qing also entered into that darkness.
He held his breath and his heartbeat still.
Through perfect control of this extraordinary body, he can also minimize the range of his every movement.
The howling wind of the night and the cars speeding outside the construction site perfectly masked the sound of Li Qing's light footsteps.
He vanished completely into the darkness, like an invisible man.
Sandro, lacking any extraordinary senses, was completely unaware of Li Qing lurking in the shadows.
If he doesn't even know where Li Qing is, he naturally won't be able to chase after Li Qing or actively close the distance with him—if he can't do that, the misfortune won't take effect.
"I see."
"He took advantage of the chaos caused by the power outage and the lights going out to hide himself in the darkness that I couldn't see through."
"This is really..."
Sandro's expression changed slightly:
"Like water off a duck's back!"
He raised the pistol and fired a shot randomly into the sky above.
Gunshots rang out, and flames burst forth.
The darkness was briefly dispelled, and the flash of the bullet as it left the barrel instantly illuminated the surrounding scenery.
At that moment, Li Qing's stealthy figure, moving stealthily into the distance, was revealed to Sandro.
"Here!"
The light flashed and then disappeared, but that was enough.
Having already located Li Qing, Sandro casually took a step in the direction Li Qing had fled, and that mysterious force of misfortune instantly descended upon Li Qing:
Swoosh—
The bullet that Sandro fired into the sky fell back down in freefall.
Thanks to its aerodynamic design, this tiny bullet accelerates as it falls, to the point where it can penetrate a human skull.
Li Qing was walking along peacefully when a bullet fell from the sky and pierced his head.
