Explosion Space
Li Qing did not fabricate anything.
The very fact that someone was actually hiding in that abandoned house is highly suspicious.
Not to mention that the other party was also secretly hiding on the second floor, spying on the Higashikata Family, and no one knew what their intentions were.
At such a sensitive moment, the reason "What are you looking at?" is enough to trigger a life-or-death battle.
Therefore, after noticing the other party's suspicious behavior, Li Qing was just looking for a reason to leave, immediately came knocking on the door in a menacing manner:
"There's definitely something wrong with the people in this house."
"To come and spy on us at a time like this."
"Even if they have nothing to do with Diavolo, they are probably not good people."
Li Qing decisively identified the mysterious resident.
Giorno and Polnareff immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
They quickly summoned the Gold Experience and the Silver Chariot, closely following behind the already digitized Li Qing as they approached the eerie haunted house.
Then, a rustling sound came from the seemingly uninhabited old house.
"Those two guys went downstairs."
"It seems they intend to fight us openly."
Li Qing used his super hearing to predict the enemy's actions.
Sure enough, just as he said, they had only pushed open the rusty iron gate and entered the overgrown courtyard of the old house when the door of the old house was pushed open from inside.
A tall, unfriendly-looking young man with striking short, slicked-back hair, dressed in a high school uniform, strode out.
This guy has such a fierce face, he looks like a delinquent, the kind of guy who doesn't even need makeup to play a thug or school bully.
"Hey bastard!"
"What do you guys want by barging into my house?"
Before Li Qing and the others could speak, the delinquent began to hurl insults aggressively.
"Your home?"
The other party acted like a host, trying to shoo him away, but Li Qing wasn't buying it at all:
"You're not trying to say that you're just honest residents living here, are you?"
"Stop wasting your breath. Putting aside your blatant spying before, let's just talk about now."
"Right now, there's a guy hiding in the house behind you who doesn't dare to show his face, secretly using a stand-in to spy on me."
"I heard the roar of engines, the creaking of tracks, the spinning of propellers, and a great deal of incredibly faint footsteps."
"So, that guy's double is actually a miniature modern army?"
"."
Upon hearing these words, the delinquent's expression changed drastically:
"They actually described my brother's 'Bad Company' in detail."
"Is it really possible for a human to perceive so much information just by listening?"
He truly hadn't expected that the bald man in front of him would have such powerful insight.
Faced with Li Qing's super hearing, he and his brother had nowhere to hide.
"Yitai, calm down."
A deep male voice soon came from inside the room.
Since Li Qing had revealed his existence so clearly with just one sentence, there was no need for him to continue hiding.
This young man, equally tall and imposing, with a fierce face and wearing the same black school uniform, but with striking blond hair and deep red eyes, emerged from the shadows of the old house.
His expression was stern and his demeanor composed; he was clearly the leader between the two.
Who are you?
Why do you want to spy on the Higashikata Family?
Li Qing pressed him for answers without any politeness.
"Okuyasu Nijimura".
He readily gave his name, making no attempt to conceal the hostility in his tone:
As for why we wanted to spy on the Higashikata Family...
"All I can say is that I have a bit of a grudge against Josuke Higashikata."
Okuyasu Nijimura clearly had no intention of properly explaining his purpose.
But the strong gunpowder undertone in his voice was something everyone present could hear.
"Big brother?"
The young man called Yitai was clearly not as calm as his older brother had suggested:
"Should we... should we do it?"
"That bald guy looks tough to deal with!"
"."
Okuyasu Nijimura's face darkened instantly; he seemed very displeased with his younger brother's preemptive display of fear.
"Enough! The enemy is already at our doorstep, what are you still fantasizing about?"
"Let me think about it carefully. Didn't we come to Morioh to discover more Stand User?"
"The stronger the enemy, the more likely we are to achieve our 'goal'!"
He spoke in a solemn tone, saying something that Li Qing couldn't understand at all.
Then, Okuyasu Nijimura began to reprimand his younger brother in a serious tone:
"Yitai."
"This isn't a game!"
"The 'Explosion Space' you possess is a terrifying existence that sends chills down my spine just thinking about it. You'd better keep it under control!"
"As long as you can unleash your full power, we can defeat any enemy!"
"Understood, brother."
Keicho Nijimura's expression gradually turned fierce as his older brother reprimanded him:
"Let me teach them a lesson with 'Explosion Space'!"
He instantly summoned a tall, muscular, and robust humanoid stand-in.
This imposing humanoid stand, combined with his innate ferocious aura, truly exudes a suffocating sense of oppression.
Li Qing, Giorno, Polnareff all became serious.
Although their identities and purposes are still unclear, their previous covert surveillance has shown that they are enemies, not friends, and are clearly not benevolent.
Now that the other side has absolutely no intention of communicating properly, a battle is inevitable.
"That guy's Stand should be a powerful melee Stand."
"Until we figure out the Stand's abilities, everyone must be careful not to get close."
Polnareff cautiously made his assessment of Keicho Nijimura.
"That's right, you and Giorno should stand a little further apart."
"Leave the testing to me."
Li Qing habitually took on the role of the vanguard.
Having a data-driven body, he has more reason to act recklessly than others, so he always volunteers to be at the forefront.
This time is no different.
Giorno and Polnareff both stood behind Li Qing, which was quite obvious to them.
Li Qing, on the other hand, approached Keicho Nijimura in front of him with a dignified and upright posture.
"Explosion Space!"
Keicho Nijimura has made his move.
In that instant, the Explosion Space suddenly raised its right arm high.
"Hmm?" Li Qing immediately became alert:
Why did the enemy raise his right arm?
Is it to unleash a powerful hand-blade slash like the King Crimson?
No. I haven't even gotten close to the stand-in yet, so if it slashes out now, it definitely won't hit anyone.
In that split second, Li Qing's vigilance reached its peak:
This is definitely not a simple normal attack, but a Stand ability!
The movement of raising the right arm was probably the "prelude" to unleashing some powerful skill.
That guy must be using some kind of Stand ability to attack me, who was still standing a few meters away.
Li Qing instantly realized that the guy who looked like a simple, powerful melee Stand must possess some kind of ranged attack method.
And so, at the moment when the right arm, raised high, fell heavily during the Explosion Space.
As if by instinct, Li Qing suddenly burst out with maximum speed and dodged to the side like a phantom.
While dodging, he didn't forget to warn his companions behind him:
"Get out of the way! That guy has ranged attack capabilities!"
Giorno and Polnareff both received the signal from Li Qing.
They all managed to dodge the direction of the hand chop that was coming down from the air, and tried their best to dodge to the side.
But this is already a bit slow.
Giorno and Polnareff were just ordinary people after all. Li Qing could easily create a phantom by running away, but they could only try their best to dodge at human speed.
At that moment, the humanoid clone called Explosion Space actually used its hand chop, which was delivered from a distance, to create an invisible and colorless spatial fluctuation!
The invisible spatial fluctuations swept out along the direction of the hand strike, completely engulfing everything in its path.
Bricks, stones, soil, grass, trees, and even air all vanished into nothingness in this spatial fluctuation.
In that instant, a visible trench appeared on the ground.
In the next instant, the courtyard wall that was originally standing a few meters away was strangely pulled several meters closer by this attack, so that it appeared directly in front of Keicho Nijimura.
The scene was incredibly eerie and chilling.
Everything that had just blocked that spatial fluctuation had disappeared, leaving only a courtyard wall that had been "transformed".
Fortunately, Giorno and Polnareff managed to dodge in advance thanks to Li Qing's reminder.
Polnareff was unharmed, but Giorno was grazed on the arm by the spatial fluctuation because he was a little slower.
A clean cut appeared on his arm, and the skin and flesh outside the cut disappeared neatly.
Giorno decisively used Gold Experience to heal his minor injuries.
The lost flesh and blood were quickly replenished and restored, but he never dared to relax his guard.
"What kind of ability is this?"
"The destructive power is far too strong."
"It's space! This is the ability to eliminate space!"
Polnareff said with a grim expression.
He saw the shockingly deep ditch on the ground, where the soil and bricks that had once filled it had completely disappeared from the world.
This scene, this ability, gave Polnareff an absurd and inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Just like Illuso's Mirror Man before, Keicho Nijimura's Explosion Space also reminded him of a long-buried memory.
This memory is even more cruel and unbearable to recall.
"I've seen similar abilities before."
"We paid an irreparable and heavy price to barely defeat that bastard who could devour space."
Polnareff's voice became extremely serious.
The seemingly simple and honest Keicho Nijimura now possessed a threatening presence in his eyes that rivaled even Diavolo's:
"Li Qing, Giorno, please be careful—"
"This enemy is very strong."
