Chapter 2: Stand User
It seems that she is hiding in the garbage dump or on the other side... So did she slip away just now? Was she scared away by me, or was she aware of the pursuers? Lynch did not act rashly. He thought that Robin, who was hiding in the dark and observing, might have used the power of the Hana-Hana Fruit to help untie the rope, while staring closely at the "Iron Man" standing in the rain.
Suddenly appeared...
The guy with the gun in front of me seems invisible, only I can see this "Iron Man"...
Lin Qi pretended to be tied up with ropes and sat on the ground in the rain, his heart pounding. It seems that the unlucky people who traveled through time really have benefits? The last memory before the time travel came to his mind: the JOJO peripherals bought by his roommates, the "arrows" that can activate the "stand ability" in the JOJO setting... Several stupid roommates followed one by one, and Lin Qi was no exception... The blue arm that suddenly appeared in the garbage dump just now, pulled him out, and disappeared again...
As if sensing Lynch's thoughts, "Iron Man", who had been standing upright since he appeared, turned his head and looked at Lynch with his narrow eyes full of white light.
In the rain, on the ground, Lynch just stared at him.
"Iron Man" also looked at him with a "stern face".
Why are you looking at me stupidly? Go beat him up!
When Lynch saw that "Iron Man" did not obey the "instructions" in his heart, he was instinctively a little confused.
Can't understand the look in his eyes? Or is this double betraying him?
"Who is it?"
The man in black raised his gun and yelled, ignoring the "Iron Man" next to him. He fired several shots randomly in the rain with a ferocious look in his eyes.
"If you don't come out, I'll kill this guy!"
Lin Qi's pupils shrank. He suddenly saw that the man in black had just fired a shot, which happened to be aimed at "Iron Man"! But "Iron Man" did not react to being hit by the bullet.
As for whether the bullet just passed by or something else, with Lynch's eyesight, he had no way of telling in such lighting conditions, let alone seeing the trajectory of the bullet.
However, when he paid close attention, Lynch suddenly discovered that even the drizzles falling from the sky at this moment passed through the body of "Iron Man" without any hindrance, just like the panicked man in black next to him, who treated this armor-like guy as if he did not exist.
This guy is really a stand-in! My stand-in!
Lynch finally confirmed.
The many characteristics of the stand-in:
First, only the Stand User can see the Stand! Second, only the Stand can defeat the Stand. Non-Stand Users, without the Stand Energy, cannot even touch the Stand. The man in black could not see the "Iron Man" who just attacked him, and the rain passed through the "Iron Man", which undoubtedly fully meets these characteristics! And here only Lynch can see the "Iron Man" in front of him, which also proves that Lynch has become a Stand User.
"Is it you who did this?"
The man in black saw Lynch's strange look and walked over shouting, about to kick the annoying kid over and interrogate him.
At this moment, the "Iron Man", who Lynch thought was a little stupid, suddenly moved. He kicked the man in black on the side of the knee, knocking him over and making him fall on the rain-soaked mud ground.
At least he's not that stupid, he knows how to protect his body! Lin Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his small arms and legs couldn't twist the strong man in front of him.
But at the same time, he also discovered that his "Iron Man" stand-in didn't seem to be very strong, and seemed to be roughly the same as himself... Now he was just relying on the fact that the other party couldn't see it, so he could attack unexpectedly and take advantage of it...
"Bang!" The man in black was not seriously injured, but he looked embarrassed. He got up and raised his hand to shoot at the position where "Iron Man" was.
A shot fired in the air.
The bullet silently passed through the black stand in the shape of a battle armor and flew into the rain.
The man in black is going crazy. What is going on?
Could it be that there are evil spirits at work? Why don't you take advantage of the victory and pursue the enemy? Lin Qi was so angry that he almost passed out. He tried his best to signal the "Iron Man" who was standing there idle, but the other party remained indifferent.
"It turns out that it's you who are causing trouble, right!" The man in black suddenly stared at Lynch and said viciously.
Lin Qi looked extremely innocent and said blankly, "Ah?"
"I want to see if you can still play this weird trick after I blow your brains out with a bullet!"
The man in black was not fooled again. He ignored Lynch's innocent appearance and pointed his gun at him.
Bang! Damn it! Lynch rolled on the ground in a hurry.
On the other side——
When his main body was threatened, "Iron Man" also attacked decisively, hitting the wrist of the man in black holding the gun hard, causing the gun to deviate from the direction where Lynch was dodging.
Snap!
The guns fell to the ground in the rain.
The man in black had rain all over his face and looked like he had seen a ghost, as he covered his aching wrist.
The stand-in "Iron Man" stood quietly in front of him, but the man in black was pale and looked around, but couldn't see it at all.
Lin Qi climbed up and wiped his face, and hurriedly shouted: "Silly son, pick up the gun for me!"
The man in black was startled and shouted, "It's you! You are the so-called ability user, right?!"
According to legend, there is a "devil fruit" called the secret treasure of the sea in this sea. Eating any one of them can gain incredible and strange abilities. A devil fruit has even been sold for more than 100 million Baileys! The man in black is also a gang member, and he has heard about this. Although the gang has been suppressed by the "bullets" led by the "tank" Becky in recent years, and its territory has been continuously eroded... But then again, ordinary people may not be able to encounter such a fruit and ability user in their lifetime. So the man in black didn't think about it at first...
But now that Lin Qi had shouted, how could there be any doubt? The man in black rushed to grab the gun that had fallen to the ground, but was suddenly hit by something.
He groaned and shouted in his heart: There really is an invisible "evil spirit" in the air! However...
After calming down a bit, he noticed that this so-called "evil spirit" was only this strong! The man in black calmed down. It seemed that this "evil spirit" that was holding him back was nothing special except that it was invisible.
"You're dead, you little brat!" he said to Lynch viciously.
Then he let out a muffled groan, and using all his muscles, he slowly pushed away the "Iron Man" who was pressing against him.
"Don't move, buddy."
The dark muzzle of a gun suddenly stretched out.
It turned out that Lynch took advantage of the gap between the man in black and the double, groped and crawled, quickly snatched the pistol on the ground, and pointed the gun at the man in black's head with both hands.
"You...?!" The man in black was shocked. Why did this kid call him brother?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
At this moment, the armored substitute that was pushed away by the man in black suddenly withdrew its "resistance". Without its active attack, the man in black could no longer touch the substitute, and his body passed directly through the "evil spirit" that he could not see, and fell awkwardly on the muddy rain ground.
Lynch's hand shook and the gun went off with a bang.
The man in black who fell to the ground screamed, and the butt of his black trousers formed a bloody mess in the rain.
"You scared me!" Lin Qi complained to the "evil spirit" that the man in black couldn't see. "If I knew how to use a gun, wouldn't I have shot this guy to death just now?"
The man in black was so painful that his butt was numb that he almost vomited blood. You can't shoot, so why are you pretending to be stupid?
…
Two minutes later, next to the garbage dump in the rain.
Lynch pointed his gun at the man in black, who had stripped off all his clothes, was wearing sunglasses, and was kneeling there. Blood was still flowing from his buttocks, and the blood was flowing to his feet in strands mixed with the rain.
"That's all Bailey?"
Lynch counted the money he found in the black-clad man's wallet with one hand and looked disappointed.
The naked man in black who was kneeling down was extremely annoyed and gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t go too far—ah!”
He screamed.
It wasn't that Lynch shot him cruelly again, but that the "evil spirit" next to him, whom he couldn't see, punched him in the stomach.
"What's the point of hitting him in the stomach? You're not very strong! This guy is a gangster, is he afraid of such a painless punch?" Lin Qi taught his armored double earnestly, "Hit him in the balls! It's so simple and direct, and it's effective..."
The man in black immediately knelt down and clenched his legs, trembling all over, and shouted, "Whatever you want to ask, I'll tell you!"
"So, who are you? Where are you from? What's your gang? Where is this place? What towns are nearby? Where do I have to shoot to incapacitate you?"
Lin Qi asked in one breath. He frowned unconsciously. He felt a little uncomfortable after being in the rain for too long. But he still endured it and didn't show weakness in front of the man in black clothes and sunglasses.
"Don't think about stalling for time and waiting for your companions to come..."
Lynch's white teeth were exposed in a grin, which made the man in sunglasses shudder. He always felt that the terrifying evil spirit that was lingering around him seemed to have its fist hovering near his little brother, which made his scalp numb... This kid's ability was too damn mean! I said it was not enough! You - you shoot here! Bang! After the last dull gunshot, Lynch put the gun in his pocket, signaled the "evil spirit" that Yu Shui ignored to follow him closely, and left with a slightly messy step.
The dirty stray puppy whimpered and followed Lynch's figure in the rain.
There was a movement on the other side of the garbage dump, and a thin figure walked out, alone in the drizzle.
…
West Sea, South Chicago Island. Not far to the east is a small port town called Zhiqu Town...
The man in black just now was a member of "Gunpowder", one of the five major gangs in the West Sea. Because someone in the town reported the whereabouts of Nico Robin, the son of the devil, a team of "Gunpowder" members immediately went out to search around the town... Lin Qi vaguely remembered that the supernova Becky was from the West Sea, and the information said that he quickly unified the West Sea gangs when he was young, and he set sail to become a pirate because he felt bored...
Becky's gang is one of the five largest gangs, the "Bullet". Maybe in a few years, Becky will behead the bosses of the other four gangs one by one and bring their respective forces under his command.
However, these have nothing to do with Lin Qi for the time being...
The most important thing for him now is to find a place to shelter from the rain, and it would be best if he could drink some hot soup to warm his body.
Running alone in the rain, Lin Qi suddenly thought, that's not right, why should I get wet in the rain!
"Hey, can you help me, Dad, block the rain?" He reminded the "Battle Armor" that followed him automatically.
As expected, the stand-in was obedient and immediately walked towards Lynch, overlapping, shrinking, and fitting his body, just like a real Iron Man armor, and containing Lynch inside.
Is this possible?
