Lee Sin's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 10 Cutting Time
Diablo didn't move.

He was waiting, waiting for Li Qing to show his last hole card as he predicted.

Then, he would strike at the moment when Li Qing was most nervous and critical, and when Li Qing was closest to success, to extinguish Li Qing's last hope in one fell swoop.

The life of an invincible person is so boring.

Li Qing didn't know what Diablo was thinking, so he just muttered nonsense in front of him:

"Sir, my dear Mr. Diablo, please be merciful."

"I dare to swear to the Virgin Mary, I just broke into here by accident today, and I have no malice towards you and your organization."

"And, you can trust me, my tongue is really strict—"

"The girl on the opposite side of the building didn't like to wear clothes at home in summer. I used a telescope to look at it for a whole summer vacation and didn't say anything."

"Aunt Liu next door who likes to kiss dogs will never know that her dogs eat shit in the neighborhood every afternoon."

"Yeah, there's more"

"There is also Lao Wang who lives in 303 downstairs. I have never reported him and Mrs. Chen who lives in 304 downstairs to the property management for making noise."

Ha ha.

Are you trying to make me relax by talking nonsense?

How boring.

Diablo remained silent, but silently counted the time in his heart:

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds. The 8th second, here we go.

Just as Diablo predicted with the "Epitaph", Li Qing seemed to feel that the time was ripe - he suddenly stopped the disturbing nagging, and waved his hand in the direction of Diablo's body. Out of the fist:
"Heavenly Sound Wave!"

At this moment, a bright white light cluster appeared on Li Qing's fist.

This ball of light enveloped his fist, covered his palm, and then released his hand and roared out when the light was the most blazing.

"Ha ha."

Diablo laughed mockingly, then tilted his head slightly, and easily dodged the attack of the positioning light group.

This sky sound wave flashed past Diablo's mind, and then disappeared in the air behind him in vain.

Almost at the same time, the Crimson King fought back.

It tightened its strange arm covered with red and white lines, and slashed out a hand knife with the momentum of chopping Huashan.

In the next moment, like a hot knife cutting butter, the Crimson King easily tore Li Qing's shoulder with his hand knife and pierced his chest.

Thanks to the dataization ability that ignores the rules of reality, Li Qing's flesh and blood healed instantly after being torn, as if he had never been injured.

However, his health was like the stock he had just bought from A-share leeks. With a posture of diving from a high platform, his health dropped from more than half to 12%.

12%, a little exaggerated.
The Crimson King could kill him with a sneeze now.

However, Li Qing's eyes became sharper instead:
At the moment Tianyinbo Guangtuan let go, it was like magic, and suddenly there was a gun in his hand.

His current strength is still weak, it is impossible to win by hand-to-hand combat, and he must rely on the power of firearms to resist.

But the Crimson King's speed is extremely fast, and his dynamic vision must not be bad.

If Li Qing raised his gun to aim directly, then he probably wouldn't even have time to raise his arm before the enemy would notice his movement.

At that time, let alone shooting and killing people, I am afraid that even his hand holding the gun will be interrupted by the Crimson King.

A direct shot is unlikely to work.

Therefore, Li Qing chose to use Tianyinbo as a cover-up.

As early as when he pretended to be nagging, he quietly held the gun in his hand.

Then, Li Qing covered the palm of his hand with the white light of Tianyinbo, perfectly covering the gun in his hand.

Diablo couldn't see the gun he was holding in his hand, he could only see the white light flying towards him, and when he avoided Tian Yinbo's positioning light and focused on Li Qing .
Li Qing has already taken this opportunity to complete the key action of "raising the gun to aim".

In the next step, he only needs to pull the trigger lightly, and he can blast Diablo's head with a supersonic bullet.

"You shouldn't underestimate the enemy, Diablo!"

Li Qing seized this moment of lightning and flint, and fired a fatal shot at Diablo.

The flames suddenly appeared, the thunder exploded, and the bullets were discharged.

Although the Crimson King was fast, it was not fast enough to catch bullets with his hands.

Not to mention, this powerful stand-in just came up and chopped Li Qing with a hand knife, and there was no time to turn around to help its master block the gun.

Diablo seemed to be losing.

but
"No need, no need!"

Diablo laughed wildly: "All your tricks are useless!"

"Now."

His pupils reflected the flash of fire from the muzzle of the gun, like a domineering emperor in his eyes:
"Time will begin to mark—"

"The Crimson King!"

At this moment, Diablo cut off time.

The time he cut this time was still a short 5 seconds.

However, the moment he entered the "time cut" state, he transcended the shackles of the rules of reality and became an invincible existence independent of the timeline.

1st second:
The bullet passed through his void body independent of the timeline without causing any damage.

2st second:
Li Qing is in an unconscious "stuck" state.

He gripped the gun tightly and stared straight ahead, as if to confirm Diablo's death.

Of course, Li Qing, whose time had been cut off, couldn't see that Diablo not only passed through the bullet unscathed, but also took two steps forward unhurriedly facing the bullet.

3st second:
Li Qing had unconsciously fired the second and third bullets.

The two bullets still passed through Diablo's body in vain, but Li Qing didn't notice it at all.

At the same time, Diablo stretched out his arm, and calmly snatched the pistol from Li Qing.

4st second:
Diablo unloaded the pistol's magazine.

Then, with a strong sense of malice, he put the toy-like empty gun back into Li Qing's hand without much trouble.

At the same time, he ordered his stand-in Crimson King to adjust his movements, and pinched Li Qing's head with his palm in advance.

5st second:
Diablo did nothing.

He just looked at Li Qing quietly, looking at the ridiculous expression on Li Qing's face who thought he had succeeded in counterattack, and looked forward to his funny performance when he realized that the situation was wrong in the next second.

In the end, the "time cut" state ends, and the timeline returns to normal.

"kindness?!"

Li Qing was taken aback instinctively.

He is blind in the digital mode, unable to read the seconds on the watch, and unable to count the time with blood dripping. It stands to reason that he has no way of noticing that Diablo has activated the time cut.

However, he possesses super sentient abilities.

For Li Qing, the "sonic environment" he feels in his ears is different every second.

Therefore, at the moment when the time cut ended, Li Qing immediately felt the change of the voice information:
"One second ago", he was still holding a gun to explode Diablo's head.

"Next second".
There was no bullet in the gun, and only a crisp click could be heard when the trigger was pulled.

Diablo was alive and well, with a smile all over his face.

The Crimson King was gently stroking his big, barren head like he was panning walnuts.

"Time cut."

"He cut it when he started it again!"

Li Qing instantly understood the situation, and then...
Then it's time for Diablo's commentary:
"Hahaha"

"How is it, is it an accident?"

Diablo laughed wantonly and said:
"While you were so excited by your own cleverness, I, Diablo, have cut off the period of your 'counterattack success'!"

"The original time is cut off, and the only thing left is the result changed by me!"

"There are only results left in this world!"

"And what you are witnessing and touching now is your "future" self.The "future" self that you saw in the past few seconds. "

"This is the ability of my "Crimson King"! "

He stood upright on one leg, clenched his fists, and leaned back his chest. Jo Li Jo said to Li Qing angrily:
"Li Qing!"

"It's impossible for your mediocre stand-in ability to win me, Diablo!"

"Oh"

Li Qing responded calmly.

His current expression is almost like that of a hotel clerk who sees the guests scrambling and distributing nine cents in front of the counter. Not only is he not nervous or paying attention, but he is so happy that he wants to laugh out loud.

"Aren't you afraid?!"

Diablo sensed something was wrong.

"When have I ever been afraid?"

Li Qing smiled calmly:
"Nervous is a little nervous. After all, your strength is too strong."

"However, thanks to your arrogance."

"I survived."

PS: Possible controversial points (from Moegirlpedia):
If it is determined that Diablo cannot attack during the "leap" of time, but [can move people and objects], it will be easier to understand some parts of the original work that may have logical bugs.

1. Trish was kidnapped by a severed hand: While Bugarati was staring at the floor indicator of the elevator, he secretly destroyed the elevator and then entered, activated the time "leap" at the moment Trish's hand was cut off, and then During this period, Trixie was taken away.

2. Before Diablo is about to be seen by the cleaners, he activates the time "leap". During this period, he cleans, organizes things, and escapes by jumping out of the window.

3. After killing the fortune teller in the urban area of ​​Sardinia, he was almost discovered by a child, so he quickly activated the time "leap", during which time he hid the fortune teller's body and blood and took a taxi to leave.

4. Strongly kill Naranja: Cut off the iron railing and throw Naranja who just finished setting up the Flag, and then activate the time "leap" and "delete" at this moment, during which time hide the body and wait for the "result" " Achieved.
