I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 002 Substitute Messenger
It seems that she is hiding in the garbage dump or on the other side... So she slipped 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 observing in the dark, might have used his flowery fruit ability to help untie the rope, while he stared closely at the "Iron Man" standing in the rain.
Suddenly...
The guy with the gun in front of me seems invisible, only I can see this "Iron Man"...
Lin Qi pretended to be still tied by the rope and sat on the rainy ground, his heart pounding. It seems that the guys who are unlucky enough to time travel really have benefits?
The last memories before the time travel came to mind: the JOJO peripherals bought by roommates, the "arrows" that can activate the "substitute ability" in JOJO settings... Several stupid roommates followed one person, and Lin Qi naturally also No exception...the blue arm that suddenly appeared in the garbage dump just now, dragged him out and then disappeared...
As if sensing Lynch's thoughts, "Iron Man", who had been standing upright after appearing, turned his face 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 stared at him with a "stern face".
What are you looking at me for? You beat him!
When Lin Qi saw that "Iron Man" did not obey the "instructions" in his heart, he instinctively felt a little confused at first.
Can’t understand the eyes? Or has this substitute rebelled?
"Who is it?"
The man in black raised his gun and roared, turning a blind eye to the "Iron Man" who was nearby, and fired several shots at random in the rain. He looked ferocious.
"If you don't come out, I will kill this kid!"
Lin Qi's pupils shrank, and he suddenly saw that the man in black had just fired a shot, which happened to be fired directly at "Iron Man"!
But "Iron Man" did not react when he was hit by bullets.
As for whether the bullet missed him or something else, with Lynch's eyesight, under such light conditions, it was impossible to tell, let alone the trajectory of the bullet.
However, after paying careful attention, Lynch suddenly discovered that even the wisps of drizzle falling all over the sky at this moment passed through the body of "Iron Man" without any obstacles, just like the panicked black man next to him. Like people, they treat this armor-like guy as if he doesn't exist.
This guy is indeed a substitute! My stand-in!
Lynch finally confirmed.
Many characteristics of avatar——
First, only the substitute user can see the substitute!
Second, only a substitute can defeat a substitute. Non-substitute users, without the energy of the substitute, cannot even touch the substitute. The man in black cannot see the "Iron Man" who just attacked him, and the rain passing through the "Iron Man" undoubtedly fully meets these characteristics!
Only Lynch can see the "Iron Man" in front of him here, which also proves that Lynch has become a substitute messenger.
"Is it your boy's fault?"
The man in black noticed Lin Qi’s strange look and came over with a shout, about to kick the annoying kid over for interrogation.
At this time, "Iron Man", who Lynch thought was a bit silly, suddenly moved and kicked the man in black on the knee, knocking him over and falling to the rainy concrete ground.
You are not stupid enough to know how to protect your body! Lin Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His little 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 it looked about the same as himself... This was just because the other party couldn't see it. You can make a surprise attack and take advantage of it...
"Bang!" The man in black was not injured as expected, but he looked embarrassed. He got up and raised his hand and shot the "Iron Man".
A shot in the air.
The bullet silently passed through the black stand in the shape of a battle armor and flew into the rainy sky.
The man in black is going crazy, what is going on?
Is there an evil spirit at work!
You should take advantage of the victory and pursue it! Lynch was almost so angry that he lost his temper, and tried his best to wink at "Iron Man" who was standing behind his feet and hanging up, but the other party was indifferent.
"It's really your kid who's doing the trick, isn't it?" The man in black suddenly stared at Lynch and said viciously.
Lin Qi looked extremely innocent and said blankly: "Huh?"
"Let me see if you can continue to play this weird trick after blowing your brain with one shot!"
The man in black was no longer fooled. He ignored Lynch's innocent appearance and pointed his gun at him.
Bang!
Holy shit! Lin Qi rolled on the spot in a hurry.
The other side—
When his body was threatened, "Iron Man" also struck decisively, hitting the man in black's gun-holding wrist with force, causing his shooting aim to deviate from the direction of Lynch's avoidance.
Crack!
The gun fell to the ground in the rain.
The man in black had rain on his face, as if he had seen a ghost, and he covered his sore wrist.
The stand-in "Iron Man" stood quietly in front of him, but the man in black looked pale and looked around, but he couldn't see it at all.
Lin Qi got up, wiped his face, and shouted hurriedly: "Silly son, pick up the gun for me!"
The man in black was horrified and shouted: "It's really you! Are you a so-called ability user?"
It is said that in this sea, there are "Devil Fruits" known as the secret treasures of the sea. If you eat any one, you can gain incredible and strange abilities. One Devil Fruit has even been sold for over 100 million Baileys! The man in black is also a gang member, he has heard about it. Although the gang has been suppressed by the "bullets" led by "Tank" Becky in recent years, and its territory has been continuously eroded... But having said that, ordinary people may not be able to encounter a person with this kind of fruit and ability in their lifetime. So the man in black didn’t think about it at first...
But now that Lynch has shouted this, why is there any doubt?
The man in black rushed forward to grab the gun that fell to the ground, but was suddenly hit by something.
He groaned and shouted in his heart: There is indeed an invisible "evil spirit" in the air!
However...
After calming down for a while, he noticed that this so-called "evil spirit" turned out to be no more powerful than this!
The man in black calmed down. The "evil spirit" that resists him seems to be nothing special except being invisible.
"You're dead! You brat!" he said viciously to Lynch.
Then he grunted, exerted all his muscles, and slowly pushed the "Iron Man" away from him.
"Don't move, brother."
Black's muzzle suddenly stretched out.
It was actually Lynch who took advantage of the gap between the man in black and the substitute to grapple and crawl, quickly grabbed the short gun on the ground, held the gun in both hands and pointed it at the head of the man in black.
"You...?!" The man in black was shocked. Why should this kid call him brother?
At this moment, the armored avatar, which was pushed away by the man in black, suddenly withdrew its "confrontation". Without its active attack, the man in black could no longer touch the avatar, and his body passed directly through what he could not. The "evil spirit" he saw fell down on the muddy rainy ground in a state of embarrassment.
Lin Qi's hand shook, and the gun went off with a bang.
The man in black who fell to the ground screamed, and his buttocks in black trousers puffed up with blood in the rain.
"I was shocked, you scared me!" Lynch complained to the invisible "evil spirit" of the man in black, "If I knew how to play with a gun, wouldn't this man have been killed by me just now? ”
The man in black is so numb from the pain in his **** that he almost vomits blood. You don’t know how to shoot. Why are you pretending to be crazy?
……
Two minutes later, next to the garbage dump in the rain.
Lynch pointed the gun at the man in black, who took off his clothes, wore sunglasses, and knelt there, his buttocks still bleeding, and the blood flowed to his feet along with the rain.
"Just a little Pele?"
Lynch counted the banknotes found in the man in black's wallet with one hand, showing a disappointed look.
The kneeling man in black with bare buttocks was extremely annoyed and gritted his teeth and said: "Don't go too far - ah!"
He screamed.
It wasn't that Lynch gave him another cruel shot, but that the "evil spirit" he couldn't see next to him punched him in the stomach.
"What's the use of hitting the stomach? You don't have much strength! This person is from a mixed society, so he is afraid of receiving such a small fist that doesn't hurt or itch?" Lin Qi taught his armor stand-in earnestly, "Hit his balls! This is so simple, direct, and effective..."
The man in black immediately knelt down and tightened his legs, trembling all over, and shouted: "Whatever you want to ask, I will tell you!"
"So, who are you? Where are you from? Where do you live? Where are you? What towns are nearby? Where do I need to shoot to incapacitate you?"
Lin Qi asked in one breath. He frowned inadvertently. He felt a little uncomfortable after being in the rain for too long. But he still endured it and did not show weakness in front of the man in black and sunglasses.
"Don't try to delay waiting for your companion to find you..."
Lynch grinned and revealed his strong white teeth, which made the man in sunglasses shudder - he always felt that the fist of that terrifying evil spirit lingering around him seemed to be floating near his little brother, making his scalp numb... …This kid’s abilities are so **** despicable! I said it’s not okay! You - you shoot here!
Bang!
After the last dull gunshot, Lynch put on the gun, looked at the "evil spirit" who looked at the rain as if it was nothing, and followed him, and left with a slightly messy step.
The dirty stray puppy whined and danced with Lynch's figure in the rain.
There was movement on the other side of the garbage pile, and a thin figure walked out, alone and soaked in the drizzle.
……
Western Sea, South Chicago Island. Not far to the east is a small port town called Zhiqu Town...
The man in black just now is a member of "Gunpowder", one of the five major gangs in the West China Sea. Because someone in the town reported the traces of Nicole Robin, the son of the devil, a team of "Gunpowder" members immediately dispatched, and everyone A manhunt was launched near the town... Lynch vaguely remembered that Supernova Becky was born in the West Sea, and the information said that he quickly unified the West Sea gang forces when he was young. When he got bored, he set sail and became a pirate...
The gang that Becky belongs to is one of the five major gangs called "Bullet". Maybe in a few years, Becky will behead the bosses of the other four gangs one by one and take their respective gangs under his control.
However, these have nothing to do with Lynch for the time being...
The most important thing for him now is to find a place to take shelter from the rain, preferably where he can drink hot soup to warm his body.
Running alone in the rain, Lin Qi suddenly thought, no, why should I get wet in the rain!
"Hey, help daddy keep me out of the rain?" he reminded the "war armor" who was automatically following him.
As expected, the stand-in was obedient and immediately walked towards Lynch. It actually overlapped, shrunk, and fit the body like a real Iron Man armor, containing Lynch inside.
Can this still happen?
