Chapter 3 Oh, Shadow Clone
Lin Qi discovered that the drizzle outside was indeed blocked by the not-so-thick "armor" on his body.
Rainwater originally could not touch the Stand, but the Stand could attack the rainwater - that is to say, the small armor on his body was maintaining its "aggressiveness", so it could achieve the effect of "shielding rain" continuously? Lin Qi quickly figured out the principle.
He walked in the drizzle, but was not wet at all.
What a wonderful experience...Lin Qi smiled and asked in the "Armor": "Are you an automatic stand? Can you speak? Do you have an independent personality? Hey, are you broken?"
He raised his hand and slapped his "Iron Man" helmet twice, as if the TV signal was bad...
The armor substitute's bright narrow eyes seemed to flicker twice, and finally responded with a sound similar to an electronic synthesized voice: "Yes..."
Lin Qi was full of curiosity and asked, "What's your name? Do you have any special abilities?"
Generally speaking, Stands have names. However, Stands with independent personalities like this one will already know their own names and abilities when the original body is still confused.
Some sturdy stand-ins will even teach their real bodies how to operate and how to defeat bosses, just like a big-thigh girl...
“‘Back in black’……”
The armored stand-in continued to answer with a magnetic electronic voice that was like a fusion of Jarvis and Friday, and it was impossible to tell whether it was male or female.
Although the voice was pleasant to hear, the words that came out of it left Lin Qi confused. Why is it an English name? Can it be translated into Chinese? One Piece would also be fine...
…
In this way, Lynch wore BIB's stand-in armor, ran in the rain, and asked questions along the way. From BIB's poor language expression ability, he learned its approximate capabilities with difficulty.
…
"Extract? Release? Store?"
As he walked, Lynch looked at his hands in confusion.
The entire body of the armor is pitch black, except for the left and right arm armors which are wrapped with blue and red flame patterns, both of which seem to contain additional special abilities.
The electronic sound of "BIB" struggled to describe it, but to Lynch, the expression was still too vague. It was suspected that even it itself had not figured out what the abilities of the armor's hands were...
…
Generally speaking, there are six dimensions to evaluate the ability of a stand: strength, speed, precision, range, endurance, and growth.
One of the basic attributes of Lynch's "BIB" is——
The power, speed, and precision of the Stand are all taken from the original body! In other words, when Lynch summons a Stand, everything about himself will be perfectly reflected on it.
If Lynch is a weakling like the cowardly trio, then the stand he summoned is also a weakling.
If Lynch punches the Seven Warlords of the Sea, kicks the generals, beats up the Three Calamities, and confronts all kinds of powerful people who refuse to obey... then, it means that Lynch will also have a closest helper with equal combat power - his own stand, "BIB".
Everything the Stand sees and hears during its time outside, the fatigue and pain it experiences, and even the experience and growth it accumulates from training, will all be attached to the original body when it is taken back...
"So, it's a mysterious stand like 'Shadow Clone'?"
This kind of attribute is simple and easy to understand. Lynch suddenly realized it and couldn't help but feel surprised and happy, but inevitably a little scared.
The surprising thing is that in this way, it is equivalent to carrying a golden finger for external practice with you. If you train with your main body and the substitute at the same time, you will get double the experience!
What he was afraid of was... he wasn't sure if he could handle this kind of cheating...
In Naruto, only a beast like Naruto Prince can withstand the mental fatigue and accumulated damage added by the Shadow Clone without self-collapse.
“Very exciting and heart-pounding!”
Lynch pursed his dry lips, ran in the rainy wilderness wearing "BIB", with infinite expectations and yearnings for the future in his heart.
Out of curiosity, he was eager to try and ordered, "Hei, come back."
In an instant, the "armor" substitute wrapped around Lynch's body, which was invisible to ordinary people, shrank into Lynch's body like a phantom.
"Hey! How do you understand why I named you 'Hei'..." Lynch had just come up with this thought when he felt his scalp go numb from the slight fatigue that surged into his limbs and bones.
On a rainy night, the boy screamed in pain...
"This feeling... is really... hard to describe!"
After all, this was Lynch’s first time doing this kind of operation, and for a moment he was shaking with fear.
Lynch's clothes were soon soaked, leaving footprints of varying depths along the way.
Not far behind him, the stray puppy was vaguely following, its paws imprinted in Lynch's footprints...
Ahead, the scattered lights of a town are visible in the distance.
………………
Pah! A pair of feet crushed the rainwater on the brick road.
Ta, ta, ta... The down-and-out boy wandered awkwardly through the empty streets of the town in the rain.
But after all, this is a world of pirates where productivity is not well developed, and there is no nightlife or entertainment to speak of. On rainy nights when it is dark, most houses close their doors and almost all shops are closed.
"The original owner of this body doesn't seem to have a very clean background..."
Lynch held the gun in his arms, as well as the wet stack of Baileys bills that the gun had knocked over, and frowned slightly. He tried hard to search for the only remaining memory of the original owner in his mind.
Were you being hunted?
Or did he encounter a shipwreck and drift here to die suddenly? But in his fragmentary memory, there must have been flashes of swords and blood! This kid is obviously not a serious person...
Unfortunately, those memories only emerged as a result of the stress when he first woke up from the time travel, and they were already fragmented... Later, he was almost killed by the man in black, and then he found that he had awakened his substitute. After a series of stimulations and distractions, when Lynch turned around and wanted to check the original owner's incomplete memories again - they were almost forgotten...
The embarrassment of large bold font!
Behind some of the lighted windows of the houses on both sides, there seemed to be pairs of prying eyes... Lynch passed by the only tavern with lights on in the town, and listened to the loud quarrels and laughter of fishermen and merchants coming faintly from inside, but in the end he did not go in.
It is not certain whether there is anyone else on this island who knows the original owner of this body...
Even the man in black by the garbage dump was not sure if he was unconscious or dead... In the mysterious world of One Piece where "no one dies easily", Lynch was not completely sure of his judgment on the dark rainy night... Haven't you seen that a knife player like Zoro, who fought with people for an hour, slashed until blood gushed out, but could not kill anyone, and the three knives in his hands were like fakes... God knows in this world view, giving the black-clothed strong man a shot, how much effect would it have...
The original owner of the body was already dead, and was already weak. Coupled with the fatigue from the continuous exhaustion, Lin Qi reluctantly found a remote alley, hid in a deep corner, curled up, and planned to rest for a while. He would make plans when the sky cleared up and the sun rose.
"Fortunately, he is just hungry and tired, and doesn't feel sick... This guy has a pretty good physique!..."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lynch was about to fall asleep in a daze, but suddenly woke up before falling asleep. After trying twice, he finally succeeded in making dark stand energy emerge throughout his body, and a human figure separated from it.
The whole body is pitch black, with blue flame patterns on the left arm, red flame patterns on the right arm, and a white inverted triangle converging on the chest. The mechanical-shaped armor stand "BIB" stands silently beside the main body.
"Well, just hang here and don't move..."
Lynch reminded him dazedly, and BIB looked over with his eyes glowing white, and nodded silently.
Lin Qi was about to fall asleep when he woke up again. He said worriedly, "Pay attention to the streets and alleys. Don't let strange people get close to you... If you have to, remember, beat him in the balls!"
BIB nodded to the main body again. A few seconds later, the main body woke up again.
Lin Qi curled up and hugged himself tightly, calming down and mumbling: "If I fall asleep and die, please wake me up..."
This armor is an automatic stand-in, and some automatic stand-ins can continue to exist and act even if the main body dies. Lin Qi felt that his stand-in was stupid, and he was afraid that it would watch him die and still stand by stupidly to guard his body...
"BIB" continued to nod silently.
After finishing his explanation, Lin Qi finally closed his tired eyes and fell asleep with a smile on his face...
Between half asleep and half awake!
Lynch found himself standing on top of a garbage dump in the rain, and inside the garbage dump, a down-and-out boy reached out his hand for help...
The scene changed, and he suddenly appeared again, punching a man in black on the head. Turning his head, he saw the embarrassed boy next to the garbage dump, that is, Lin Qi "himself"...
The scene changes again, and Lynch is walking in the rainy night, wrapped in "himself"...
Lynch woke up slowly.
What he saw in his dream was obviously the memory of the stand's perspective that he had gained after consciously recovering "BIB"...
"It's daybreak!"
The sky had cleared up. Lynch climbed up in the corner of the dark alley and looked towards the alley entrance where white light was shining. He could faintly hear voices outside.
This is a small port town where merchant ships and cargo vessels often dock, so it is quite lively during the day.
"Woo woof!" Something was nudging at Lin Qi's feet. He looked down and saw that it was the stray dog next to the garbage dump yesterday. "You followed me too."
He didn't care and turned to look at "BIB" who was standing next to him like a security guard.
This guy stood guard all night... Lin Qi seriously thought about a question. If he took it back into his body this time, how much fatigue would he feel, and how painful would it be...
『BIB』 looked at the original with his eyes glowing white. The original smiled awkwardly but politely, "You are a complete copy of me, right? Then, theoretically, you have mechanically 'copied' all the memories that have existed in my mind - is that right?" 『BIB』 nodded silently.
Lin Qi hooked his finger at it. The armored Xiao Hei was a little slow, and finally reacted to the meaning of the main body owner. He walked towards him silently, overlapped with him, and wrapped the main body.
After putting on the armor and using the eyes of the "helmet", Lynch suddenly saw scenes that ordinary people could not see - it was "BIB" "replaying" his memories.
It was exactly what Lynch had forgotten, the residual memories that emerged from this body when he first crossed over.
The beautiful flowerbed in front of the wooden house... the beautiful woman named "Lily"... Hmm, this should be the boy's hometown and mother? Lin Qi nodded silently and quickly browsed the memory "played" by "BIB". Because the memory itself was incomplete and fragmented, he seemed to be struggling. Next was the rough sea and the fight between pirates!
"You're a pirate at such a young age! You should at least wait until you're 17 before going out to sea..." Lin Qi cursed in a low voice, because from the existing partial memory, the original owner of this body actually abandoned his mother in his hometown and left home alone to join the pirate ship... What a filial son! What else can a pirate do? Lin Qi continued to wear the "helmet" to check, and sure enough, it was nothing more than following the pirates on the ship to burn, kill, and plunder, and finally kicked the iron plate and was chased by the official police force...
A pale face repeatedly appeared in the incomplete memory, intertwined with the original owner's fear.
Lin Qi's pupils shrank as he recognized the face!
Lafayette! The man on Blackbeard's ship in the future, the ruthless man who broke into the Navy Headquarters alone and negotiated with the Navy at the Seven Warlords of the Sea Conference.
How could this filial son actually offend a ruthless man like Lafayette?
No wonder he was hunted down by the sea and died in a foreign land! Lin Qi was so excited that he wanted to pull out the original owner of the body and beat him up. Suddenly, his expression changed and a slight strange sound came from above his head.
A thin figure was crouching on the wall of the alley.
Seeing that Lynch, who was originally alone on the ground with a "wonderful expression", suddenly looked up and found her, Robin stood up silently on the wall, pursed her dry and pale lips, and waved her little hand. Suddenly, petals flew from her feet to the ground, and a row of arms grew on the wall. With the help of the alternating arms, Robin quietly fell to the ground and stood in front of Lynch.
