The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"It's as cold as ever."

After finishing dealing with the last two mechanical life forms, Lin Qiao spread her hands helplessly.

"In short, the mechanical life forms have been solved, so you should rest assured now..."

"!?"

Just when Lin Qiao wanted to say something else, some extremely unexpected object appeared in A2's field of vision.

——It is an object that looks like an arrow.

But the strange thing is that she didn't notice how the thing appeared at all.

There was obviously nothing there just a second ago... It was as if it appeared out of thin air.

then--

I saw the arrow that suddenly appeared, shooting at Lin Qiao silently and at an extremely fast speed.

To make matters worse, the place where the thing appeared was still in the blind spot of Lin Qiao's field of vision.

"Step aside!"

Although I don't know what it is, I can be sure that what can be used against the guy in front of me is definitely not just something that humans in the old world used for hunting in the literature.

Almost subconsciously, she kicked Lin Qiao.

"A2?"

Lin Qiao, who was kicked aside unprepared, was a little confused.

But then, he saw a scene that made his eyesight split.

The arrow that appeared out of thin air shot directly through A2's chest - where the core of the android lies.

It is obvious that the body of the artificial man, which can be made of super strong metal components, does not provide effective defense.

A color similar to blood, but possibly coolant or some other liquid, slowly flowed from the center of the arrow.

"…arrows…be careful…careful…"

The laryngeal voice machine utters the last words intermittently, which are elongated and even severely out of tune.

In just a few seconds, A2's ice-blue mechanical pupils dimmed, and finally he fell heavily to the ground like a stopped machine.

"A2!!!"

Chapter 14 The World!

——A2 hates mechanical life forms.

It was this group of war machines created by aliens that invaded the earth, and they were also the direct murderers of their own companions. There is no need for any reason to hate them.

——A2 hates androids.

Among them, they especially hated the headquarters. It was the suicide combat order they issued that led to a series of tragedies for their companions.

——Also, A2 hates humans.

He sits on the moon every day and gives out difficult orders. The only thing he can do is to shout a noble-sounding declaration to the artificial resistance army on the ground to send people to die.

Although this hatred is not as good as that of mechanical life forms, compared with the former, it is probably the kind of hatred that is second to none.

It's just that it's hard for her to dislike the human who claims to be from another world... Or as he once said, he is from another world, so there is no need to treat him as the creator of the artificial humans in this world?

This may be a good excuse, but it cannot deceive the underlying logic code of artificial humans-human beings are human beings.

But when did this kind of helpless obedience, which was initially limited by the underlying logic, turn into a heartfelt wish for the other person to live?

Is it when the other person says he wants to get along with you normally?

Or should I advise myself to look at things other than revenge?

Or something else?

To be honest, with only a few seconds left to live and many functions in her body quickly stopped functioning, she really couldn't think of an answer to this question.

As for the future that Lin Qiao mentioned, it may indeed be full of happiness, but...

It's too short.

A few seconds is too short.

A2 has no time to think about anything about the future.

"...Be small...mind...arrows..."

Use the last moment to leave as much information as possible to help the other party.

But she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see some kind of liquid flowing down Lin Qiao's bright red faceplate, which was strong enough to protect against metal bullets, and finally dripped on the desert.

——Will humans shed tears for the tools they made?

It's still a hard question to answer...but probably not.

After all, it’s just a tool. If it breaks or you don’t like it, wouldn’t it be better to replace it with a new one?

Just looking at Lin Qiao's panic and sadness, she didn't have any regrets. It was obvious that she had not achieved her goal all along... Why was this?

Sure enough, after spending a long time with illogical creatures like humans, even she herself became strange.

At the last second when her thinking program stopped functioning, A2 remembered the curse that had been with her ever since - no, maybe it wasn't a curse, but a blessing for others.

Humanity, glory forever...

…

There was a squirming movement under the sand dune not far away, as if something was moving underneath.

Not long after, a person emerged from below.

He was wearing a linen cloak similar to Lin Qiao's when he came to the desert. He probably got it from a resistance soldier's creation.

And as he climbed out, some darker-colored sand with some moisture was also brought out from the ground.

In order to make himself feel better and avoid being roasted alive by the hot sand, he poured all the water he brought over himself.

Facts have proved that this is indeed the right choice.

This method allowed him to stay in the desert longer, and the high temperature emitted by the upper layer of sand did deceive Lin Qiao's immature thermal imaging sense.

And he successfully completed a sneak attack in the end.

"But I didn't hit it."

Li Teng's words revealed a strong regret.

A purple muscular man who only he could see appeared behind him, patted his clothes quickly, and patted off the brown sand sticking to his body.

Star of Platinum

This is the stand he awakened through the "arrow".

And similarly, the latter is also the object he threw at Lin Qiao before.

As an arrow made of an unknown meteorite, although it looks only slightly gorgeously decorated and no different from an ordinary ornament.

But it can ignore most defenses, and it also carries a virus with a slight probability of awakening a stand. For people other than him, it is completely poisonous-this is also thanks to the system.

Don't look at the animation. Everyone can awaken a stand.

But the difference between people in the real world and people in the JOJO world is not a little bit... At least, no one who has been pierced by the arrow has survived.

And the most important point is that the arrow is under his control, and it can be automatically retrieved even after being thrown out.

In short, this is an "arrow" that belongs only to Li Teng

Although he successfully threw the arrow with the help of the ability of Star Platinum to stop time, it is just the same as he said.

——This sneak attack failed.

"It's really a nuisance, that android."

Thanks to this, the originally simple and clear things are now becoming troublesome.

His eyes moved to Lin Qiao over there.

"..."

Silence——

There was only the wind blowing around, rolling up the fine sand and rubbing against the scarlet armor.

There was no crying and shouting because of sadness, nor was there a roar of collapse and impotence because the friend who was chatting with him a second ago died in front of him.

No expression changes can be seen on the spider-shaped mask.

Just standing there in silence... then her fists creaked.

"A2..."

The android in her arms looked like it was asleep.

The delicate porcelain doll's face remained the same as always, and it did not lose its color due to the death of its owner - this was natural, after all, it was an android.

Although it was made to imitate humans, even the corresponding reproductive organs were imitated, but there was no such thing as blood in their bodies.

But the pair of ice-blue pupils completely dimmed.

She stroked A2's face with a slight tremor.

She wiped off the stains on it from the previous battle with her fingers, and simply smoothed her long white hair, and then Lin Qiao closed her eyes.

"... Sorry, I have to deal with other things first..."

"So, please wait for me for a while... It will only take a while..."

Almost as if she was gritting her teeth to say the last few words, Lin Qiao moved lightly and slowly, and put the pure white angel-like A2 in her arms on the sand.

It was as calm as before a volcanic eruption.

The pair of main eyes and three pairs of single eyes on his head emitted some extremely dazzling red light.

—— Kill you!

Although he didn't say anything, he did express this meaning.

Bang!

There seemed to be some kind of muffled sound in the air, a red afterimage flashed, and a layer of sonic boom circle chased behind Lin Qiao.

The sand raised by running had not fallen yet, and he had already crossed a distance of hundreds of meters and rushed to Li Teng.

The right fist that accumulated destructive energy was like a layer of flame, burning violently and fiercely, and then swung towards his face without any mercy.

‘What a terrifying speed! ’

Li Teng, who saw all this through the perspective of the precision of Star Platinum A, smacked his lips. .

However——

“Speed ​​is meaningless in front of me!”

“The World!!!”

“!”

At this moment, time stopped.

The wind stopped flowing, and the dying bird stopped falling.

Everything in the world seemed to have been paused, and everything fell into a state of stillness.

And there was only one person who could move freely in this still world.

"So, this is the result."

He looked calmly at Lin Qiao who was still running and punching in front of him.

The fist burning with dark red flames and destructive energy was less than a foot away from him... but it was no different from eternity.
