Lee Sin's Bizarre Adventure

Li Qing decisively abandoned his companions and left with Higashikata Jousuke, the only one who still barely retained his fighting power.

After Diavolo realized the existence of the arrow, he subconsciously took steps to pursue it.

At the same time, his brain was also thinking rapidly at an incredible speed:

Li Qing's escape was very fast, but he hadn't reacted just yet, so his movements were half a beat slower.

The Dongfang family was less than a hundred meters away. Even if he let the Crimson King move at high speed regardless of his body load, he might not be able to stop him from getting the arrow before him.

So, can we use the power of Ouroboros to directly stop Li Qing in the past?

This idea made Diavolo faintly excited.

But he soon discovered that this seemed somewhat unfeasible:

First of all, since Li Qing would choose to go back and get the arrow, it shows that in his understanding:

The arrow has been kept at Dongfang's house and has not been lost.

At least that was the case before they just left Dongfang's house.

This has become an established fact and cannot be changed.

The only loophole that Diavolo could find was the short period of unable to determine the status of the arrow that started after Li Qing and others collectively left the Dongfang family not long ago.

During this period of time, no one knew whether Arrow was still at Dongfang's house.

Diavolo could theoretically go back to the past and take advantage of this extremely short gap to go to Dongfang's house to steal arrows.

But the problem is that going back to the past requires an anchor point, and this anchor point is the time that Diavolo used to use the Crimson King to eliminate time.

But unfortunately

Throughout the entire day today, even during the battle that just occurred, Diavolo did not use Time Slash.

Without an anchor, it would be impossible for him to return to the time he wanted to return to.

The idea of ​​going back in time and stealing arrows has become almost impossible.

So, is it possible to hinder Li Sin's behavior by arranging other means in the past?

Are hired killers here to ambush you in advance?

Or set a time bomb at Dongfang's house in advance?

These ideas are indeed feasible, but in this unfamiliar foreign country, doing such things will cost a lot of money.

The last time Diavolo hired the underworld to plant a bomb, he had already spent the remaining 500 million yen he had on him. He was so poor that he had to skim money when checking out at a convenience store.

Maybe he could go back to an earlier time, to when he was still the boss of the organization.

At that time, he could indeed use his status as boss to mobilize the organization's funds, and he could also use the small treasury account he had hidden in the past.

However, the monitoring power of the passion organization is extremely powerful, and Diavolo is an extremely cautious boss.

Diavolo wants to steal money from Diavolo, and there is no way Diavolo won't find out.

However, in Diablo's memory, there was no incident of his money being stolen.

If he does something that conflicts with past memories, it will trigger a terrible time paradox.

All in all, time travel is always a dangerous thing.

Every time Diavolo travels through time, he will walk on thin ice and try not to appear in front of others, trying to avoid unnecessary impact on the past.

After all, it is difficult for him to distinguish whether what he is doing is actually part of the time cycle or a time paradox that conflicts with the past.

Damn it. It seems I can only use the stupidest way to chase him.

Diavolo was in a bad mood.

He had even forgotten before that there was a power like arrows in the world that was beyond his control.

Seeing that Li Qing had already carried Josuke and ran back to Dongfang's house quickly.

Diavolo had no other choice but to use all his strength to catch up:

King Crimson, full speed ahead!

He directly let the Crimson King secure his whole body in his arms, and then exploded into the sky at full speed.

This method of movement can allow the Crimson King's movement speed to get rid of the drag of the main body to the greatest extent, allowing Diavolo to keep up with Li Sin as quickly as possible.

But the only disadvantage is that this ultra-high-speed movement will cause a huge acceleration load on the body.

The terrifying acceleration can even cause the body's internal organs to rupture in an instant, and the neck can be broken directly if the posture is wrong.

Even Jotaro, who is incredibly physically strong, usually doesn't dare to do this kind of thing.

Otherwise, you might die first before the enemy catches up.

But Diavolo can't control that much now.

Anyway, even if he is injured, he can use the power of Ouroboros to recover within 1 second. It is not too dangerous to pursue him at full speed in this way.

In this way, Diavolo quickly rushed into Dongfang's house closely behind Li Qing.

Even taking into account the hesitation and hesitation that he had not reacted to before, he was only a few seconds behind Li Qing.

However, when Diavolo stormed through the door of Dongfang's house with great force, he did not see Li Qing who had just escaped after entering.

All he saw was a woman with a confused look on her face.

She was Higashi Tomoko, Higashi Jousuke's mother.

Hey, who are you?!

Dongfang Tomoko subconsciously stood in front of Diavolo.

She asked blankly but warily:

What are you doing at my house?

What happened just now?

For her, what just happened was that there was a sudden loud explosion outside, and soon after, her door was suddenly knocked open.

A phantom that was so fast that it was almost invisible rushed all the way to the second floor.

Tomoko Higashikata could only vaguely distinguish the outline of the phantom, which seemed to be Li Qing and his son Jousuke Higashikata who were visiting his home.

She was frightened and confused, but within a few breaths, Diavolo chased her in with murderous intent.

Oh, you must be the cow-dung-headed mother, right?

Diavolo's eyes suddenly felt cold.

Higashiji Josuke!

Li Qing!

The next moment, Diavolo raised his head and shouted coldly to the people upstairs:

Don't be stupid, quickly hand over the arrow in your hand——

Otherwise I will kill the old woman downstairs right now!

Old woman??? Dongfang Tomoko looked unhappy and wanted to say something.

But the Crimson King's invisible big hand pinched her shoulders in an instant, forcing her to let out a shrill cry.

The sound went straight to the second floor, but the movement on the second floor was silent.

I only count to three!

Diavolo didn't need any persuasion, he just said with murderous intent:

If you don't see that arrow within three seconds, your mother will be dead!

one

two

The counting voice was cold and firm, but Diavolo did not panic.

He knew this trick would work -

Because he had already used Epitaph to peek into the future within ten seconds before starting the chase.

Epitaph was once his most important life-saving skill.

Because the cooling time was long, he was reluctant to use it until a critical moment.

But now this problem has been completely solved:

Although Epitaph cannot be used in the past, it can still function as usual in the present.

Diavolo can go back to the past to rest and recover at any time, and the future is completely within his control.

And it was precisely because he saw the ten-second future in Epitaph that the outcome was smooth that he had so decisively used this stupid method to catch up.

Sure enough, it was just as Diavolo predicted.

etc!

Higashikata Jousuke's weak and excited voice sounded in the second second:

I'll give you the arrow, and you let my mother go!

Come down with the arrows! Diavolo led Dongfang Tomoko to the stairs carefully.

Slow and heavy footsteps were heard upstairs.

Dongfang Jousuke walked down the stairs with difficulty, holding an arrow that was already stained red with blood in his hand.

Josuke! Only then did Tomoko Higashi notice the horrific injuries on his son's body.

She tried hard to break free and rush to Josuke's side, but was suppressed by the Crimson King and unable to move.

You actually took down the arrow for me?

What about Li Qing?

Why didn't he show up?

Seeing Josuke appear in submission, Diavolo's vigilance rose instead of falling.

After all, Li Qing, his big problem, never showed up, and he always had a very bad premonition.

Let's look at the future again

The ten seconds that Epitaph just predicted ended exactly now, and he couldn't see clearly what happened next.

Therefore, Diavolo immediately used Ouroboros to return to the past after 1 second of virtualization, and then returned to the original place instantly.

In this way, the cooldown time is already set early.

epitaph!

The future within ten seconds immediately appeared before Diablo's eyes:

At the first second, Diavolo walked up the stairs.

At the second second, under the careful protection of the Crimson King, Diavolo took the arrow from the assistant of the Eastern Army.

Higashikata Josuke didn't resist at all, and he didn't have the strength to resist.

In the 3rd and 4th second, Higashikata Jousuke slumped on the stairs, posing no threat at all.

Diavolo ignored the non-threatening Higashikata Jousuke, clutching the blood-stained arrow tightly while seizing the time to continue climbing to the second floor.

He was going to find the missing Li Qing and completely eliminate the serious trouble in his heart.

At 5 or 6 seconds, Diavolo reached the second floor.

He suddenly noticed a large amount of blood gurgling on the floor on the second floor.

Follow the blood stain and look into the room.

Diablo's face was filled with shock.

7th, 8th, 9th, 10th second.

Diavolo walked into the room in great shock, and stood there in a daze with a blank look on his face.

It's actually like this.

During the entire process, Diavolo was not harmed in any way.

He was absolutely safe in the next ten seconds, and what he saw was not only harmless to him, it could even be said to be an unexpected surprise.

It's just that the scene was weird and shocking.

Diavolo simply could not imagine that he would see such a scene.

It's better to go upstairs and take a closer look.

After a brief thought, Diavolo finally decided to proceed as he saw the future.

According to the absolutely safe future he saw, he took the arrow from Dongfang's assistant, walked all the way to the second floor, and stepped into the room covered with blood.

Same as seen in Epitaph Prediction.

Lying on the floor of the room was Li Qing's body.

A headless corpse.

I accidentally lost 800 words in explaining a bug. But if you don’t explain this kind of thing, there will always be people who care. () I will never write such mind-numbing things again. At least I can barely explain it now. The bugs were barely explained satisfactorily. If there were any bugs that I hadn’t considered, the story would have collapsed.
