Lee Sin's Bizzare Adventure - Chapter 7
Amor’s eyes glazed over.
In the next instant…
The explanation ended, and time resumed its flow.
Amor, seizing the advantage of having his gun raised, instantly pulled the trigger before Lee Sin could react.
The bullet whistled through the air and struck Lee Sin in the forehead.
But Lee Sin was still alive.
A bullet to the leg could cause about 13% damage, while a headshot could produce a critical effect, doubling the damage.
Yet, he was still alive.
As long as his health bar wasn’t empty, Lee Sin could retaliate at full strength:
Bang!
Lee Sin’s gun fired too.
His marksmanship wasn’t great, but at such a short distance of five or six meters, it was more than enough.
The bullet struck Amor’s chest, shattering his ribs and piercing his lungs, robbing him of his last resistance.
The gun dropped to the ground, and Amor collapsed.
“Phew… I won.”
Lee Sin knew he had finally won.
An unprecedented sense of joy surged through him.
This was the game, a truly thrilling game.
He walked forward, looking down at the barely breathing Amor, and sighed with satisfaction:
“Not bad, you…”
Lee Sin’s gaze fell on Amor’s severed arm:
“You were indeed a respectable opponent.”
Amor heard Lee Sin’s sigh but used his last strength to mock him:
“Hahaha… Baldy… you still don’t get it.”
“You think I’m scary? Behind me…”
“There’s an entire organization of monsters waiting for you!”
“Huh?”
Lee Sin frowned tightly: “What did you say?”
“You and your four lackeys are all dealt with. No one will know of my existence or my appearance.”
“Even if those organization leaders are formidable, they…”
“Heh.”
Amor forced a cold smile:
“Baldy, did you forget…”
“When you suddenly appeared in front of me, what was I doing?”
“What was I doing?”
“At that time, you seemed to be playing a game…”
Lee Sin frowned, suddenly realizing: “Could it be?!”
He quickly exited data mode, reverting to his normal flesh and blood body, regaining his vision.
Then, he crouched down swiftly, reaching into Amor’s bulging suit pocket:
Sure enough, inside was a phone:
Lee Sin recognized the model as a “Nokia 5110,” which his father used when he was young and had kept at home as a nutcracker.
The phone’s brand wasn’t important; what was crucial was…
At that moment, the phone screen displayed: In Call.
“Hahaha.”
Amor laughed wildly:
“Baldy, you guessed right.”
“I never hung up that call.”
“The entire fight, your abilities, your appearance, the boss heard it all!”
“Just wait…”
“Sooner or later, you’ll be hunted down like a rat in a sewer, trapped and killed!”
“…….”
Lee Sin was silent.
Then, his body started to tremble slightly.
“What?”
Amor glanced at him one last time, sneering:
“Feeling scared?”
“No.”
Lee Sin shook his head.
Before, he might have instinctively feared for his life, but now, seeing himself as a “game player,”
he couldn’t feel fear. So, under Amor’s confused gaze, Lee Sin smiled:
“This game…”
“Is getting more interesting.”
…………………………………………………………………….
“Ding!”
“Successfully killed ‘Cleaner’ leader Amor, gaining experience…”
“You have leveled up to level 2, health automatically restored to 100%.”
“You have gained a new skill point, please allocate it as soon as possible.”
With Lee Sin’s little assistance, Amor soon breathed his last.
Simultaneously, the Nokia phone displaying “In Call” suddenly emitted a busy tone as the call was disconnected.
The one who hung up wasn’t the already deceased Amor but the mysterious person on the other end of the line, the boss Amor mentioned.
“Not even giving me a chance to communicate?”
Lee Sin was mentally prepared:
“It seems that boss is determined to eliminate me.”
He quickly realized that he would now face endless pursuit from the organization.
And those coming after him would likely not be ordinary people like Amor but superpowered Stand assassins.
“This game is quite difficult.”
Lee Sin shrugged helplessly, then tried to recall every useful detail from the two brief episodes of JOJO he had watched:
The story takes place in 2001, in Naples, Italy.
The protagonists are delinquent teenager Giorno Giovanna and minor gang leader Bruno Bucciarati.
Both possess a unique ability called “Stand,” which allows them to summon a spiritual manifestation with distinct superpowers.
Their enemies are a mafia gang named (Passione) that rules Italy’s underworld.
Oh…
Although he hadn’t watched further, Lee Sin remembered seeing discussions in the comment section:
The boss of the organization had an invincible Stand ability that could “erase time.”
“Erase time?”
“What a hard-to-understand concept.”
Lee Sin couldn’t grasp the boss’s true power right away, so he stopped wasting time on it.
He immediately knelt down, searching Amor’s body for anything useful:
First, weapons:
Guns were undeniably powerful, and the sharp dagger that severed Amor’s arm could greatly enhance Lee Sin’s combat power.
Next, money:
The Italian mafia seemed to be a lucrative career.
Amor carried a bulging wallet filled with bills adorned with famous artists like Raphael and Caravaggio.
A rough count showed about 800,000 lire.
The official exchange rate between Italian lire and Chinese yuan was approximately 255:1.
Amor’s money was a considerable fortune in that era.
“Not bad.”
Lee Sin accepted the windfall, then carefully examined the few remaining items:
A phone?
Nokia was valuable in those days, but the risk of being tracked through the phone was too high. Lee Sin dared not keep it.
A watch?
That could be useful.
Lee Sin vaguely recalled seeing a discussion about JOJO:
“Why doesn’t the protagonist wear a watch instead of cutting his finger?”
“As long as you watch the second hand, you can determine if the boss used the ‘time erase’ ability.”
Recalling this detail about the “second hand,” he couldn’t help but deduce further:
“Watching the second hand…”
“Does that mean the ‘time erase’ is literal?”
“Does the boss’s ability fast-forward the timeline by a few seconds?”
Lee Sin was puzzled.
But he instinctively focused on the continuously moving second hand.
Then, he reached for the watch still on Amor’s wrist, intending to put it on his own.
The time displayed was:
7:58:32.
Simultaneously, Lee Sin heard seagulls in the distance.
The seagulls were at his three o’clock, about 150 meters away.
Then…
In the next instant, only a moment later.
In Lee Sin’s perception, the seagulls inexplicably “disappeared” from his awareness, only to reappear at his three o’clock, about 180 meters away.
And the watch he reached for vanished from Amor’s body and appeared on his wrist.
The process of unbuckling and fastening the watch was “erased,” leaving only the result of Lee Sin wearing it.
The time now displayed was:
7:58:37.
“The second hand… jumped forward five seconds?!”
In that split second, Lee Sin was utterly shocked.
Then…
He sensed a breathing sound, a steady, powerful breathing.
This breathing wasn’t far away; it was…
“Someone’s behind me?!”
Lee Sin was even more shocked:
After leveling up to 2, his physical abilities had evolved to near-human limits.
Among these abilities, his already extraordinary senses were the most enhanced.
Even in his normal body, without data mode, Lee Sin’s hearing was keen enough that he shouldn’t miss the sound of someone approaching from behind.
So…
How did this person suddenly appear behind him?
Lee Sin didn’t have time to ponder this question.
Instinctively, he tried to leap aside to avoid the mysterious person, but it was too late:
“King Crimson!”
