Chapter 309: Kirara Yoshikage's Despair
Kira Yoshikage's psychological defenses have completely collapsed.
Before yesterday, he was just an ordinary office worker who didn't even know the concept of a stand-in.
Now, he must face the world's strongest Stand user together with the evil Dark Emperor.
Kira Yoshikage certainly couldn't withstand such a high-level and high-intensity battle.
The reason why he hasn't given up in despair until now is that he has to thank Diablo's reliable performance for giving him the courage to move forward.
But now, Diablo, whom he regarded as hope, has...
Killed instantly.
Jotaro defeated Diablo easily, as if he were crushing an ant.
As soon as Diablo fell, Lee Sin and Jotaro's murderous intent was completely directed at Kira Yoshikage.
Kira Yoshikage was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
what to do?
Rebellion? No kidding.
His fighting ability is far inferior to Diablo's, and Killer Queen's speed is completely unable to keep up with the Scarlet King.
Now that even the Dark Emperor had been defeated so completely, what waves could an ordinary citizen like him make?
So... beg for mercy?
This is also a ridiculous idea.
Since he is already involved with Diablo, how could Li Qing let him off?
"etc…"
Kira Yoshikage's heart moved.
Seeing that Li Qing had tensed his muscles, Star Platinum clenched his fists.
With a strong desire to survive, Kirara Yoshikage faced the murderous Li Qing...
With a plop, he knelt down in a standard posture with his whole body prostrated on the ground.
Li Qing was startled. He thought Kira Yoshikage wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy.
But Kira Yoshikage said:
"Thanks!"
"Thank you for freeing me from that devil!"
"Huh?" Li Qing's expression suddenly became extremely subtle.
However, sincere tears welled up in Kira Yoshikage's eyes:
"In fact, I have always been controlled by that devil!"
"He threatened me to do something for him with Miyuki's life—"
"Yes, my girlfriend is not dead, she is just imprisoned by Diablo."
"He cut off one of Miyuki's hands as a threat, forcing me to obey his orders and act as his spy."
Kira Yoshikage is gambling.
He was betting that Li Qing and the others had not yet discovered his identity as a murderer, and only knew that he had a cooperative relationship with Diablo.
As long as this condition is met, the excuse he made up can barely pass.
Of course, even so, this lie with many loopholes is still very likely to be discovered.
But this is the only way Kira Yoshikage can take.
He was in a desperate situation and had no other choice.
"This is the situation..."
"With Diablo dead, I can finally be free!"
Kira Yoshikage showed Oscar-level acting skills.
His voice was extremely moving, his emotions were extremely rich, and even the micro-expressions on his face were flawless.
Combined with the story he made up on the spur of the moment, he really looked like an innocent citizen who was threatened and controlled by a bad guy.
But Li Qing coldly shattered Kirara Yoshikage's last fantasy:
"Stop!"
"Why is this a TV series?"
"Kirara Yoshikage, put away your useless little thoughts - your end has come."
Kira Yoshikage's face turned extremely pale in an instant.
However, Li Qing used a playful tone as if he was watching a monkey show to mock this currently unremarkable villain:
"Your acting skills are actually pretty good. "
"He's obviously a psychopathic killer, but he can still act out the feelings of love between life and death."
"It was quite remarkable, and it certainly fooled my companions."
"But unfortunately, you are also facing me, Li Qing."
Li Qing said coldly:
"No matter how good your acting skills are, you can't control your own physiological activities."
"I can clearly hear your abnormal heartbeat and breathing, and can tell whether you are telling the truth or acting."
"Kira Yoshikage, you may think you've hidden it well."
"But you don't even need the Moody Blues to actually investigate."
"From the first moment we met this morning, I have seen through your true nature—"
"You are a perverted killer with a hand fetish... If I'm not mistaken, the 'Mona Lisa' hand' from this morning should still be hidden in your pocket!"
"W-what?"
Kira Yoshikage subconsciously reached for his bulging pockets and his face turned pale.
There was no light in Li Qing's eyes, but Kira Yoshikage felt a fear that he was completely seen through by this blind man.
This is undoubtedly the most desperate fear for him:
As a murderer who strives to live an ordinary life, what he fears most is having his dark heart seen through.
And now, Li Qing tore off his disguise as easily as an X-ray machine and saw through everything inside him at a glance.
His secrets were completely exposed in front of Li Qing!
"Li Qing..."
"So you've seen through me a long time ago..."
Kira Yoshikage was completely desperate.
It turned out that his identity as a murderer had been exposed to Li Qing long ago.
At this moment, it was Li Qing again. This big trouble that came out of nowhere forced him into a desperate situation.
"It's over, it's completely over..."
Kira Yoshikage began to bite his nails with a dazed look.
He bit so hard that he didn't even notice his fingers were bleeding.
Li Qing was slowly approaching, with murderous intent surging like a tide.
Kira Yoshikage didn't resist at all.
He bit his nails unconsciously and reached his other hand into the pocket containing the ancient arrowhead unconsciously.
Because from Diablo's attitude, one can vaguely guess that this arrow may contain enough power to change the situation.
“Is there really such a power?”
Kira Yoshikage held the arrow tightly.
Li Qing had already raised his sword high, accumulating terrifying power that was enough to split mountains and rocks.
"If anything..."
"Just please save me!"
In the last moments of his life, Kira Yoshikage thought desperately.
Then, in a split second, as if sensing its owner's despair, the arrowhead actually showed a miraculous reaction.
It began to tremble violently as if it had suddenly come alive.
And amidst this strange metallic buzzing sound, the ancient arrowhead instantly pierced Kira Yoshikage's skin and gouged deeply into his flesh.
"ah!"
Kira Yoshikage subconsciously cried out in pain.
But at the same time, he suddenly felt that he had a new kind of power.
"Um?"
Li Qing vaguely sensed something.
He could hear that at that moment, Kira Yoshikage's heartbeat had experienced an extremely abnormal and strong fluctuation.
"Does he still have a trump card to resist?"
"Never mind, anyway..."
"You're already dead!"
Li Qing was confused, but the extremely sharp hand knife had already chopped heavily towards Kira Yoshikage's head.
With his current strength, the power of his hand knife is even stronger than that of the Crimson King.
If this attack hits, Kira Yoshikage's head will immediately become a horrible shape.
But, at this moment...
Kira Yoshikage's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Killer Queen: Death Form—"
"The loser eats dust!"
※※※
April 6, 1999, 8:00 AM.
Near Morioh-cho Tram Station.
A bald man sleeping on the roadside suddenly woke up from his dream.
"No matter what, you're dead!"
Li Qing let out a low growl, and the scene of him slashing at Kira Yoshikage with a knife still appeared in his mind.
But, at the last moment when the knife was about to fall...
Kira Yoshikage, who was supposed to appear in front of him, suddenly disappeared, and what appeared in his perception was only a dense crowd of people coming and going.
"What's going on..."
"Kirara Yoshikage is missing... When!"
Li Qing was shocked.
He suddenly stood up from the cold road surface, and what came into his sight was the crowds of people coming and going, and the familiar Morioh-cho tram station.
This was where he stopped Diablo and Kira Yoshikage yesterday.
but…
"Where are they...Kira Yoshikage and Diablo?"
"And my companions, where have they gone?"
"Why am I the only one here?!"
"What the hell just happened?!"
Questions poured out from Li Qing's mind one after another:
He clearly remembered that he was chopping Kira Yoshikage with a sword in the previous second, but the next second, Kira Yoshikage disappeared along with Diablo and his companions.
Li Qing was the only one left in front of the tram station.
This unprecedented strange experience made him horrified.
Li Qing sat alone on the curb, thinking carefully about his current inexplicable situation under the warm sunshine.
"Wait...Sunshine..."
"How can the sun be so warm..."
The question was not answered, but Li Qing was surprised to discover another shocking fact:
The sunlight shining down from the sky is a little too bright.
It was so bright that it didn’t feel like a sunset or evening.
Li Qing looked up nervously:
The sun is in the east, shining brightly and with infinite heat.
The time now is obviously morning.
"What happened..."
"I clearly came here in the evening, why does the sun appear in the east?"
"Wait...what on earth did I go through..."
"How much time has passed?"
Li Qing suddenly thought of a creepy question.
He quickly stopped a passing office worker and asked nervously:
"What time is it now?"
"8 o'clock in the morning."
The office worker replied with a puzzled look on his face.
"8 o'clock?" Li Qing was more and more shocked: "What date is it 8 o'clock? What year, what day?"
“…”
The office worker subconsciously took two steps back, then looked at Li Qing with eyes that looked like he was on guard against a madman and said:
"April 6, 1999, 8:00 a.m."
"Okay...I have to go to work. Bye!"
After saying that, he immediately left Li Qing behind in fear and quickly ran away.
"April 6th...6th!"
"I actually slept here for a whole night?"
Li Qing looked dazed. Even his extremely smart brain couldn't help him answer his questions:
"What on earth happened yesterday?!"
