Lee Sin’s Bizzare Adventure Chapter 303: The trolley problem
Blocked, blocked?
Li Qing actually blocked Xin Red Pepper’s offensive?
No, it’s not just blocking…
This is suppression, Li Qing used the purest power to suppress Xin Hongjiao!
Polnareff’s expression became extremely wonderful.
Xin Hongjiao couldn’t see clearly in the game, but as a bystander, he could see the situation clearly:
Li Qinggang indeed took advantage of Xin Hongjiao’s excessive concentration to launch a surprise attack.
But he didn’t use echo strike, nor did he use golden bell.
He just used his legs to run at the speed of a lightning phantom, and used his extremely fast speed to suppress the opponent with dignity!
The arrogant spicy red pepper was actually suppressed at its most proud speed.
The one who thought he was the fastest man in the world, Otoshi Akira, immediately met a being who was faster than him.
According to Polnareff’s observations and comparisons…
Where is this still Li Qing?
This is simply a humanoid Platinum Star!
Li Qing is no longer an existence beyond the limits of human beings, but an existence beyond the limits of avatars.
The highest rating on the stand-in panel, a, no longer accurately describes his speed and strength.
“So strong…”
“If you have this kind of power and speed, then the spicy red pepper will be nothing to worry about!”
After realizing this, Polnareff’s eyes suddenly filled with infinite hope.
Although I feel sorry for those old friends.
But Polnareff knew that he might not be able to reunite with them this time.
Because Li Qing has gained the power to turn the situation around.
There is no doubt that he has upgraded!
“Wait…”
“Lee Sin has been upgraded.”
“How can he upgrade?”
“In that short half-minute…who did he kill?”
Polnareff’s expression was first stunned, then surprised, and then instantly became complicated, even with a touch of fear.
Giorno did not avoid Polnareff when he and Li Sin were chatting in the attic, so he knew very well:
Lee Sin is indeed about to level up.
But upgrading requires the life of the substitute user as a sacrifice.
Li Qing and Giorno were only gone for less than half a minute…
The Hongcun brothers are still hiding in the house here. They will definitely not be sacrifices.
Kira Yoshikage is not far away from the Dongfang family, but he is not a weak chicken who can be slaughtered by others. It is impossible for him to be eliminated by Li Qing in such a short time.
So, whose life did Li Qing use as a sacrifice?
Are there any other substitutes around here?
“Is it difficult…”
Polnareff’s expression became extremely ugly:
The possibilities of Kira and Nijimura have been ruled out, and the only substitute messengers left around here are…
“Giorno.”
Polnareff said the name blankly.
He suddenly remembered that when he and Giorno were leaving Nijimura’s house earlier, Giorno stopped and took a fruit knife from the table.
At first he thought Giorno was trying to defend himself with a knife, but then he felt something was wrong:
What can a small fruit knife do when faced with spicy red pepper?
Polnareff has always been unable to figure this out, but now…
Fruit knife, Giorno, the “denial” mechanism that Li Qing mentioned in public this morning, the upgrade conditions that Li Qing mentioned in the attic…
These fragmentary clues suddenly connected into a complete logical line, which pointed straight to the only possibility.
Only this answer can explain why Li Qing was able to level up, return, and save him so quickly:
“Giorno…”
“Did he sacrifice his life to save me?”
Tears overflowed from the corners of Polnareff’s eyes unconsciously.
He hasn’t cried like this in many years.
That only explanation, that cruel answer, made his scarred heart unable to bear it for a while.
“Like this again…like this again…”
“Have I watched my companions leave for me again?”
Polnareff knelt slumped on the ground, clenching his fists tightly.
What a ridiculous fate is this?
He once suffered countless pains because of that man, but now he was saved by that man’s son who gave his life.
“Giorno!!”
Polnareff looked up to the sky and screamed, tears welling up.
In those hazy tearful eyes, he could even vaguely see Giorno’s golden soul smiling and waving at him.
“That…”
“Mr. Polnareff.”
A very familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind Polnareff:
“If you need treatment, just tell me. There is no need to shout so loudly.”
“Huh?!”
Polnareff’s surging emotions were momentarily stagnant.
He turned back stiffly, only to see the familiar young man standing in front of him alive.
“You, you’re not dead?”
Polnareff said in surprise and joy.
“Yeah, I’m not dead.”
Giorno grinned slightly, revealing a rare gentle smile:
“It’s a long story…”
………………………………….
Half a minute ago.
Giorno covered Li Qing’s hand and let the sharp blade gradually approach his throat.
The tip of the knife is getting closer and closer to the neck.
In the next second, the sharp blade will pierce Giorno’s throat deeply.
And Li Qing will also gain some of the experience he lacks, and gain the final victory with Giorno’s life on his back.
But just then…
Li Qing suddenly burst out with strength and threw the blade aside bitterly.
Of course Giorno can’t compete with Lee Sin in strength.
Li Qing couldn’t bear to do anything, he absolutely couldn’t force it.
“Li Qing…”
Giorno did not blame Li Sin for acting impulsively like a child having a tantrum.
He just said in that calm tone:
“Accept reality, this is a decision you have to make.”
“I know…”
Li Qing clenched his fist tightly.
A dark luster appeared in his dull eyes, making his pupils covered by shadows even more sinister and terrifying:
“I have already made this decision——”
“I will not kill you no matter what.”
“If I could only save one person, I would choose to save you.”
At that moment, Li Qing had already made a difficult and cruel trade-off in his heart:
If you don’t upgrade, Polnareff and Nijimura brothers who stay where they are will die.
To level up, you must sacrifice Giorno’s life.
This is actually a multiple-choice question: choose to save Polnareff and Nijimura brothers, or choose to save Giorno.
On one side is to save 3 people, and on the other side is to save 1 person. It seems that I should choose the former.
But, for Li Qing…
Brothers Hongcun, who are you?
Why should I sacrifice my best friend for two guys I just met?
The weight of these two people was eliminated immediately, and only Polnareff and Giorno were left on both sides of the scale.
This is still an extremely difficult decision.
Polnareff is already Li Sin’s trusted companion.
This middle-aged uncle has long won Li Qing’s favor with his wisdom, strength, courage and optimism.
If possible, Li Sin would definitely sacrifice himself to save Polnareff’s life.
But, but…
The sacrifice to be sacrificed now is not Li Qing, but Giorno.
It was the boy who had been with him through life and death since Naples.
Without Giorno, he would have become a piece of meat long ago and died on the afternoon of the first day when he traveled to another world.
“I can’t do it. It’s impossible for me to trade your life for someone else’s.”
“Everyone has selfish motives, and friends also have closeness and distance…”
“If Mr. Jotaro is allowed to make this choice, on one side is a life and death friend who has known each other for more than ten years, and on the other side is a foreign boy who has just known each other for a week…”
“I think if he had to choose, he would definitely make the same choice as me, right?”
Li Qing gritted his teeth tightly and comforted his soul with such words.
But he actually knew that no matter how high-sounding the reason he found, the decision he made today would shadow him for the rest of his life.
Polnareff, the companion he gave up, will become an eternal pain that he can’t get rid of from now on.
But even so, Li Qing gritted his teeth and said:
“This choice is wrong no matter how I choose it, then I can only act according to the option I want to choose!”
“So, Giorno…”
“Let’s run quickly!”
“……”
Giorno remained silent and did not speak.
He stared at Li Qing with complicated eyes, and then said in a deep tone:
“Li Qing, you are still pretending to be stupid.”
“You should know that we can’t escape the pursuit of spicy red pepper at all.”
“There are cables and wires everywhere in Morio Town. That guy can turn himself into electric current and shuttle through the wires——”
“No matter how fast you run, can you still run faster than that electric current?”
“Mr. Polnareff will not be able to stop the enemy for long. After he falls, the enemy will soon chase us along the wires.”
Giorno slowly said what he was thinking.
As if someone had seen through Li Qing’s thoughts, his expression suddenly became extremely subtle.
“I know everything you are thinking.”
“You want to bring me as close as possible to Mr. Jotaro.”
“When the spicy red peppers come after you, you will intercept them like Mr. Polnareff just did.”
“You want to use this life relay method to create more escape time for me, and the price you pay…will be your life.”
Giorno revealed all of Li Sin’s thoughts.
He completely took the initiative in this debate, and his words made it impossible for Li Qing to refute:
“The multiple-choice question you mentioned was actually wrong from the beginning.”
“In fact, what is placed on one side of the scale is me, and on the other side is you, the Nijimura brothers, Polnareff, and an opportunity to eliminate the enemy once and for all.”
“1 versus 5, I know exactly what to choose.”
“Also, Li Qing…”
Giorno paused slightly, his eyes becoming more complicated:
“You want to save me, and I want to save you too.”
“……”
Li Qing was completely speechless.
Indeed, if he doesn’t upgrade quickly now, he will really have to use the relay of life method to deal with Xin Hongjiao.
It will not only be Polnareff who will die by then, but he will probably be counted as well.
But even so, he still wanted to choose this option.
But this thought was completely seen through by Giorno.
“If you don’t kill me, I will kill myself.”
Giorno, who had seen through everything, began to use this extreme method to force Li Qing to make a “sane and correct” decision.
“Damn…why is this happening…”
“Do I have to be forced to make such a cruel decision?”
Li Qing’s body trembled violently.
He couldn’t imagine what would happen next, and he didn’t dare to predict the choice he would make at the last moment.
He began to hate his own weakness, so much so that he needed his best friend to threaten his own life and make a sacrifice to survive.
In this way, Li Qing fell into endless pain.
Giorno, standing in front of him, could also feel this pain.
The two of them just stood there in silence, as if the whole world was still at this moment.
However, time does not really freeze completely.
The earth is still moving as usual, right now…
Just like countless peaceful afternoons in Morio Town, a passerby walked by the roadside at a leisurely pace.
Of course Li Qing was not in the mood to pay attention to an ordinary passerby.
In fact, he and Giorno, who were entangled in life and death along the way, were not in the mood to pay attention to their surroundings at the moment. They only knew that they had not escaped very far, but they did not notice that they had escaped to the place near Dongfang’s house. block area.
But the passerby knew.
He is just an ordinary neighborhood resident.
He couldn’t feel the pain of Li Qing and Giorno. To him, this journey was so leisurely and pleasant.
Familiar streets, familiar air, and familiar community landscape——
“Yo, Angelo!”
In line with a recent local custom, the passerby happily greeted the ugly sculpture on the side of the road.
This gentle greeting was like a thunderous explosion, shaking the spirits of two close friends who were parting from life and death.
“Huh?”
Li Qing and Giorno raised their heads at the same time.
Powerful perception and sharp eyes locked on the stones on the roadside at the same time:
“Angelo?”
