Wisdom Beyond Mortal Ken

Li Qing and the other two couldn't fathom Keicho Nijimura's thoughts, but Okuyasu Nijimura knew his younger brother perfectly well, so how could he not understand?

He knew perfectly well that his foolish brother had just been spacing out.

If Polnareff hadn't inexplicably halted his attack halfway through, his foolish brother, who dared to stand there dumbfounded in front of the enemy, would probably be dead by now.

"What are you standing there for, you bastard!"

Okuyasu Nijimura was filled with lingering fear and anger as he reprimanded his younger brother:

What are you thinking?

"This is a battle!"

"Forehead"

Yi Tai touched his slicked-back head and answered earnestly:

"I'm just thinking about how to deal with those three guys."

"There are too many of them. I need to think about who I should target first."

Upon hearing these words, Okuyasu Nijimura fierce face contorted with rage:

Stand User typically think with lightning speed; they can often complete complex analyses and considerations in a mere instant.

But his brilliant younger brother can actually space out when he's thinking!

This could be fatal.

"What are you thinking about?"

"You almost died just now, you know?"

"Don't get distracted, focus all your attention on me!"

Okuyasu Nijimura shouted through gritted teeth.

"Ah," Yi Tai replied somewhat aggrievedly, "Big brother, didn't you say that fighting requires using your brain and that I should think more during battle?"

"."

Okuyasu Nijimura fell silent, his face grim.

He looked at his younger brother intently, then sighed helplessly:

"I'm sorry, I was wrong this time, brother."

"I shouldn't have asked you to do something that's beyond your capabilities. Thinking too much is actually bad for you."

"Yitai."

Okuyasu Nijimura earnestly instructed:

"Stop thinking, just fight based on your instincts."

"I'll be there to support you. Just don't use your brain and fight with all your might."

"No need to think, that's great!"

Yitai nodded excitedly.

His expression immediately relaxed, as if he had suddenly shed an unbearable burden.

"Etc."

I'm still a little uneasy about the signs:

"Now that you've thought it through, you should know who to target first, right?"

This is a very important issue.

When outnumbered, the most important thing is to find the enemy's weak points and strike them first.

In fact, Okuyasu Nijimura really wanted to tell his younger brother the answer directly, but the super hearing that Li Qing had just displayed was too terrifying—in front of those keen ears that could perceive everything, no matter how he conveyed the order, it would definitely be clearly picked up by the enemy.

If Li Qing could hear his battle plans clearly, then no matter how he commanded the battle, he would definitely be a step behind.

Therefore, Xingzhao simply stopped giving his younger brother clear orders.

He could only place his hopes on the tacit understanding between the two brothers.

Of course, he also had to secretly pray that his younger brother's somewhat inadequate intelligence would temporarily come online.

Keicho Nijimura, on the other hand, displayed a certain wisdom, at least on the surface.

Upon hearing his older brother's earnest question, "Who should we focus our attacks on first?", Yitai immediately replied confidently:

"Of course I understand!"

"Even I could easily see that out of such a simple question!"

"Okay, that's good."

Xing Zhao nodded in satisfaction:

The fact that Yitai didn't reveal the answer directly to the enemy already shows that he had thought things through.

Seeing his younger brother's unusually confident attitude, he also began to feel a sense of confidence.

"In that case, let's prepare for battle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the miniature army around Okuyasu Nijimura began to move in an orderly manner.

57 infantrymen armed with M16 rifles, 7 M1A1 main battle tanks, and 4 AH-64 Apache attack helicopters

This is the stand-in for the "Bad Company," a miniature, scaled-down version of a modern US Military combat unit.

Although the size is significantly reduced proportionally compared to the original, the infantry, tanks, and helicopters look like toys.

However, these "toy" weapons all possess extremely powerful firepower, which is more than enough to deal with human flesh and blood.

Compared to Narancia, who only had one "toy plane" available, the firepower of Okuyasu Nijimura's Bad Company was definitely more than ten times stronger.

A look of fear quickly appeared on Li Qing's face.

However, this sense of apprehension did not stem from Okuyasu Nijimura's formidable firepower, but rather from his utterly baffling interaction with his younger brother.

"Staring blankly. Judging from their words, Keicho Nijimura was actually just staring blankly?"

"He's not a thoughtful warrior at all; he's more like a dim-witted fool?"

This thought naturally arose in Li Qing's mind.

But the deep-seated caution that had developed after countless brushes with death over the past few days quickly dispelled Li Qing's "superficial and effortless" idea:

"No, the truth is definitely not that simple!"

"Where in the world is there Stand User who would just stand there spacing out during a battle?"

"Anything in excess is as bad as a bad thing; this is just too fake!"

Li Qing muttered to himself with a grave expression:

"How insidious! They must be deliberately putting on an act of being unwise to lower our guard!"

"Forehead"

Giorno's expression was somewhat strange.

Although he wasn't 100% sure, somehow he had a keen sense of it:

"But, Li Qing..."

"That guy does seem a bit dim-witted."

"That's exactly what the enemy wants us to see!"

Polnareff echoed Li Qing with a serious expression.

Because of those painful memories from the past, he has a deep psychological aversion to the ability to erase space:

"Giorno, be careful."

"An enemy with such spatial abilities cannot be so simple."

"All right."

With both of his companions so cautious, Giorno unconsciously became careful as well.

"Then we should still focus our attack on Li Qing."

"The Sonically Enhanced Wave failed, but we still have the Golden Bell Shield."

He didn't spell it out very clearly either, but both Li Qing and Polnareff understood Giorno's meaning perfectly:

Ultimately, the biggest problem now is that a direct attack on Keicho Nijimura might result in a nerf.

That mere 5 meters was a path to death.

A direct confrontation could easily result in the enemy eliminating you and the space around you halfway through. Utilizing Li Qing's high-speed movement abilities to break through is the safer approach.

The Golden Bell Shield can achieve this even better in a certain sense:

Based on his performance just now, the enemy probably doesn't know about Li Qing's abilities.

As long as the enemy is unaware of the existence of the Golden Bell Shield, they can sacrifice one person as bait to lure the enemy into using their spatial manipulation abilities to pull the bait in front of them.

At that time, Li Qing can use the Golden Bell Shield to rush to the decoy and break through the enemy's 5-meter defense line unexpectedly.

"Let me."

Giorno volunteered to act as bait.

In fact, even if he didn't volunteer, he was the only one who could act as bait.

Because Li Qing and Polnareff had previously demonstrated terrifying close-combat abilities, only an enemy with a broken mind would be capable of pulling them both to their side.

But Giorno is different:

His Gold Experience doesn't look like a warrior specializing in combat, but rather a healer skilled in supporting and healing.

When Gold Experience was treating Giorno, he punched the courtyard wall to extract materials, which indirectly exposed his weaknesses of average punching power and limited close combat ability.

To put it bluntly, Giorno is the weak link in the team.

Not to mention, as the core of the team, the healer naturally attracts ridicule and will be the primary target wherever she goes.

Therefore, Li Qing boldly predicted:

"That guy will definitely find a chance to pull Giorno in front of him!"

"Gold Experience's melee ability is average. Once he is pulled over, he can easily be killed by the two enemy brothers who focus their fire."

"However, they certainly wouldn't have imagined the existence of the 'Golden Bell Shield'."

"With the Golden Bell Shield, I can not only support Giorno immediately, but also use Giorno as a springboard to charge into the enemy's face and deal damage!"

This is the full picture of this decoy tactic.

Just like their first attempt, after tacitly formulating a plan, Li Qing and his team quickly launched their attack.

The three men simultaneously launched a flanking maneuver, which looked completely unpretentious.

This time, instead of charging forward recklessly, they subtly positioned themselves 5 meters away, spreading out to encircle the enemy.

This tactic can significantly put psychological pressure on the enemy, making them feel that they could be attacked simultaneously from three different directions at any time.

Yitai hesitated for a moment, but Xingzhao decisively ignited the flames of war:

"Let's do it!"

He dislikes being passive and prefers to take the initiative.

So he directly gave his younger brother the order to launch an attack decisively.

Keicho Nijimura immediately obeyed and took action.

The Explosion Space once again raised its arm high, and invisible spatial fluctuations condensed into a knife in its palm.

This hand strike, imbued with spatial power, could fall at any moment, heading towards one of the three: Li Qing, Giorno, Polnareff.

"Now!"

Li Qing had already predicted who the other party would attack.

Of the three, only one is easy to bully—

Only Giorno, the opponent's target will always be Giorno!

This prediction could not possibly be wrong!

In that instant, Giorno tensed every muscle, holding his breath and waiting.

And Li Qing decisively activated his skill at that very moment:

"Golden Bell Shield!"

Because he was worried that Giorno would be instantly killed by concentrated fire after being pulled into the enemy's presence, Li Qing preemptively released his Golden Bell Shield based on his prediction.

He believed in his own skills, his own predictions, and his own kingly mentality.

The next instant, he, who had used the Golden Bell Shield, would be pulled in front of Giorno by the enemy using the ability to obliterate space.

The enemy wanted to kill Giorno in one fell swoop using this method, but Li Qing, who had anticipated everything, would show them what geometric displacement was and what Blind Monk's shield was.

Giorno will be perfectly safe; the danger will only fall on the enemy!

Li Qing was thinking this.

He was also charging towards Giorno at an incredible speed.

The right arm that Explosion Space crashed down heavily, the direction the hand blade was pointing was...

"Polnareff?!"

Li Qing's expression became quite interesting.

His preemptive use of the Golden Bell Shield was unstoppable.

Why me?!

Polnareff was also stunned:

Why did the enemy drag him over there?

Aren't you afraid of being overtaken by the Silver Chariot?

The Silver Chariot is incredibly fast; how can a slow-moving Explosion Space possibly engage in close combat with it!

"Could it be..."

Polnareff's expression changed drastically:

"Hiding his talents, that Keicho Nijimura must be hiding his talents!"

"From the very beginning, the opponent deliberately concealed their strengths, giving us the false impression that 'the enemy's Stand has limited speed and average close-combat ability.'"

"This will lead us to develop the wrong tactics—"

"Taking advantage of our mistake, he has now caught me and the Silver Chariot off guard and attacked us!"

At that instant, seeing Polnareff forcibly pulled closer by the Explosion Space, Li Qing's expression was equally grim:

"I see."

"That guy must be hiding his true strength!"

"The true melee capabilities of that Explosion Space must be terrifyingly strong, which is why he dared to pull the Silver Chariot in front of him!"

"Oh no! Polnareff is in danger!"

Li Qing was horrified to discover that his prediction had been wrong from the very beginning.

This time, the enemy didn't even anticipate his prediction; instead, they directly misled him into making a wrong prediction.

"Such profound cunning. Such terrifying wisdom!"

"I thought he was only on the third floor, but I didn't expect him to be on the fifth floor!"

Li Qing, standing on the "second level," could not help but feel deep regret.

No matter how much he regretted it, he could only watch helplessly as Polnareff was ambushed and killed by the enemy.

Worse still, because of his overconfident prediction, his invincible Golden Bell Shield was wasted in a muddle.

"It's over."

"I have completely lost the battle of wits with Keicho Nijimura!"

Li Qing felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of Keicho Nijimura's profound wisdom.

But at that moment, this terrifying enemy, whose intelligence bordered on the supernatural, was suddenly rebuked by his elder brother once again:

"You bastard! You idiot!"

"Why did you pull that broom-head hair over here?!"

It's like a desperate ADC suddenly seeing a Molten Giant Beast being hooked right in their face by a support robot.

Okuyasu Nijimura's face turned green:

"Can you beat me if I bring you over?!"
