Chapter 313: Team annihilation ×2
The call was from Li Qing.
Li Qing tore through Kira Yoshikage's disguise yesterday and forced him into a desperate situation with his own hands.
However, when Kira Yoshikage heard the call from this powerful enemy of destiny, he did not seem nervous at all.
"Wait a minute." He didn't even give Li Qing room to speak, and said calmly as if he was talking to an ordinary friend: "Wait for me to find a place where it is convenient for us to talk."
Having said that, Kira Yoshikage put his phone into his pocket without saying anything, and left his workstation, avoiding the attention of his colleagues.
There are many employees in Guiyou Department Store, and it is crowded with people.
He walked along with ease and confidence, and finally stopped when he walked out of the door of Guiyou Department Store and onto the sidewalk outside.
"Hello?" Kira Yoshikage finally put the phone back to his ear.
But this now seems a bit redundant.
Because only then did he see that Li Qing was standing at the entrance of Guiyou Department Store with a mobile phone in his hand, not far from him.
"I wanted to call you and scare you into running away."
"Otherwise, the department store is so crowded that it's a little inconvenient."
"But... I didn't expect you to come to me on your own."
Li Qing approached Kira Yoshikage with murderous intent.
But Kira Yoshikage's reaction was so calm that it made people feel daunted:
"I just don't like making personal calls in the office, so I went outside."
"It's just a little habit, it's nothing."
He smiled, put the phone back into his pocket, and looked at Li Qing calmly.
“This guy isn’t afraid at all…”
"What about this?"
Li Qing tried to add another layer of pressure to Kirara Yoshikage:
"Everyone come out, this guy is our target!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Giorno, Jotaro, Higashikata Josuke, Polnareff, and the original team that beat Kira Yoshikage yesterday all appeared from the darkness.
The scene looked exactly the same as yesterday, and Kira Yoshikage seemed to be in a desperate situation once again.
But his performance was still so calm:
"It's you again."
"Li Qing should have woken up at 8 o'clock, right? It's only 8:59 now."
"It's been less than an hour. It's really not easy to find me so quickly."
"Again?" Giorno and the others frowned: "Do we know each other?"
As he spoke, Higashikata Josuke, who was the most talkative, looked at Li Qing:
"Mr. Li Qing, is this the enemy you mentioned?"
"Why don't you tell us who he is? What did he do?"
After all, Higashikata Josuke is a kind-hearted high school student who has never killed anyone.
Li Qing also had no memory of the time he experienced - to him and others, the experience before the Loser's Dust was triggered was as if it had never happened.
Now Li Qing suddenly asked him to come out and kill someone together, but he didn't tell him who the person was, which made Josuke difficult to accept.
"Oh, I see."
Li Qing remained silent and did not answer.
Kirara Yoshikage, on the other hand, smiled meaningfully:
"He didn't reveal my identity at all, but directly called on his companions to attack me."
"It seems that you already know how to trigger 'Dust Eaters'...Lee Sin."
"That is to say..."
Kirara Yoshikage's eyes were so sharp that they seemed to be able to see through Li Qing's soul:
"You should have experienced time travel."
“I can vaguely sense this.”
Li Qing's expression changed slightly.
He was first troubled by Kira Yoshikage's sharpness, but then he suddenly discovered something:
"Should? Vaguely aware of it?"
"Using such an uncertain word, could it be that..."
"Even Kira Yoshikage himself doesn't have time to rewind his past memories. I am the only 'bomb carrier' in the world who is not affected?"
Li Qing was a little surprised at first, but then he realized that this was indeed somewhat reasonable:
In digitized mode, he is a perpetual motion machine with unlimited endurance.
If Kira Yoshikage himself still has some memories, then as long as I keep bombing people to trigger the time reversal, I'm afraid I'll be annoyed enough to make him die.
Such a magical thought emerged in Li Qing's mind.
But Kira Yoshikage's confident and even teasing voice quickly brought him back to reality:
"Since you have triggered the Loser Eats Dust, you must have killed someone in the explosion."
"Let me think about it... You couldn't just tell a random passerby about my information when you didn't know anything about Loser Shichen at the beginning."
"So, you must have told this news to your most trusted companion."
Speaking incomprehensible words, Kirara Yoshikage glanced at Giorno and the others with malicious eyes:
"Perhaps, the person you killed is here."
"You..." Li Qing's face didn't look good.
Yesterday, Kira Yoshikage was in a passive, embarrassed and flawed position in front of him, but now the situation has completely reversed.
Now, Li Qing has become the one whose inner thoughts are completely seen through.
Seeing Li Qing's performance at this moment, Kirara Yoshikage immediately understood the situation:
"It seems that you have not yet discovered the true power of the Loser's Dust Eater."
"This should be just your first experience of losing and eating dust."
"Well, let me tell you..."
"Of course, even if I don't tell you, you will find out sooner or later."
"The Loser Eats Dust starts at 8:00 this morning. This means that no matter how many times you trigger the backtracking, the earliest you can go back is 8:00 this morning."
"So you can only start the activity after 8:00 and before 8:20."
"It's unlikely to be any later. After all, intelligence work plus travel will take up a lot of time."
Kira Yoshikage looked down at his watch, the smile on his face growing wider:
"And now it is 8:59:51."
"That is to say, Li Qing... it's not long since you last triggered the Loser's Dust."
"If we're lucky, we might be able to see the true power of the Loser Eater of Dust right here."
Hearing this, Li Qing immediately had a very bad premonition:
"The real power..."
"Isn't it that the loser eating dust is just a matter of going back in time?"
Kira Yoshikage directly told the answer in that cold voice:
"Lee Sin, are you now treating Loser Eats Dust as a game that you can rewind at will?"
"Haha, don't be so naive... and don't underestimate the favor that fate has shown me!"
Li Qing felt more and more uneasy.
Kira Yoshikage's words were so heavy that they made one feel suffocated:
"You may try it."
"Smash a teapot now and look back at it later."
"Even if you don't do it again this time, the teapot will be destroyed in the same way at the same time."
"Because when it was destroyed [the previous morning], it was already written that it was destined to be destroyed!"
"It's a natural progression! This is [destiny]!"
Having said this, Li Qing's heart suddenly trembled:
The teapot that was broken the previous morning is also destined to be destroyed after time goes back?
The fate of being destroyed can never be changed.
If this is the case with the teapot, what about the person?
Li Qing couldn't help but be shocked.
He didn't have time to do anything more...
Time had quietly passed to 9:00, the time when Giorno and others were blown to ashes the morning before.
Now that time has gone back, then, at 9 o'clock this morning...
"Giorno!!"
Li Qing shouted in horror:
The moment the time reached 9 o'clock, he felt the familiar impact of the explosion .
Giorno, Jotaro, Higashikata Josuke, Polnareff...
They were all caught in the death vortex of the extreme heat wave, leaving not even ashes behind.
This time, Li Qing clearly did not reveal Kira Yoshikage's identity, did not trigger the loser's eating of dust, and did not trigger the time reversal.
But the explosion still occurred at the same time and on the same target.
Li Qing personally experienced the second group wipe of his companions, but he still could do nothing.
The hot wind transformed from his best friend's life instantly overwhelmed him, stirring up his long-suppressed anger: "Ji, Liang, Ji, Ying!"
"Ha ha ha ha…"
Kirara Yoshikage laughed so hard that he could hardly straighten his back:
"Total destruction...total destruction?"
"Li Qing, you really can't control your mouth..."
“He actually killed all his companions in one go? Hahahaha!”
Li Qing's clenched fists made crisp noises, and his strong muscles accumulated endless power.
He actually experienced the pain of separation between life and death twice in a row!
He now wanted to kill someone, kill Kira Yoshikage, and avenge his companions who had died twice.
However, Kira Yoshikage still challenged him with that reckless tone:
"Now you understand, Li Qing."
"You will be punished if you speak ill of others behind their backs, hahahaha."
Come on, come on!
Everyone else is dead.
Now if you attack me again, everything will be over.
Kira Yoshikage's eyes sparkled with excitement.
Li Qing was also provoked like a mad bull. His anger reached its peak and he could hardly hold back from venting his destructive power.
However, at that last moment, a little clarity returned to his mind:
"Calm down, something's wrong!"
"That bastard is clearly trying to provoke me to attack him!"
Li Qing's reason prevailed again.
He actually discovered the hidden problem of this loser eating dust very early:
That is, it has only demonstrated the ability to prevent Lee Sin from revealing Kira's identity, but has not yet demonstrated the ability to protect Kira from being harmed by Lee Sin.
Judging from various circumstances, this loser, Dust Eater, must have some effect of restricting Li Qing from attacking his main body.
Otherwise, this invincible ability would have a fatal flaw and would completely lose its meaning of existence.
"You can't attack, no matter how much you hate me."
"This is definitely a trap!"
Li Qing clenched his teeth tightly and swallowed back the hatred.
The bloodshot eyes were covered with gray shadows, and his lifeless eyes looked a little scarlet and scary at this moment:
"Kira Yoshikage, wait for me—"
"No matter how many times you try, or how many times you start over, I will make you die in the most painful way!"
Kira Yoshikage was not panicked at all, just a little disappointed:
"I managed to control my anger over losing my best friend."
"It's really not easy, Li Qing."
"but…"
A smile appeared on his lips again:
"What's the point?"
With the protection of the Loser Eats Dust, no matter how many times Li Qing tries, it will not affect his life.
In the end, Li Qing will just collapse and give up after countless recollections, or fail and die in one of his attempts.
And Kira Yoshikage won't even remember any of this.
He would only remember the time when Li Qing finally failed and perished. In his final memory, Li Qing would only be a pitiful insect crawling at his feet.
Then, Kira Yoshikage could truly live an ordinary and happy life.
"Try it if you want."
“Please try your best.”
Kira Yoshikage ignored Li Qing as if he were air and turned back to the company.
After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.
The sincere and mocking voice pierced Li Qing's heart like a sharp blade :
"By the way, Mr. Li Qing, please wait a few minutes before 'loading' the game."
"I still have a document to deal with."
