Chapter 73 The Arrow Has Fallen from Its Edge
If one had to describe the scene before Chen Miaowen in one word, it would be "bloodthirsty spider."
It's not an idiom; it's a disaster movie that Chen Miaowen once watched, a movie that made him unable to eat for half a day afterward.
However, unlike the giant spiders in the movies, he wasn't facing a spider of that terrifyingly large size.
It's at most the size of a human, and it's accompanied by a bunch of small spiders. It can't be seen by any ordinary person except itself.
So, in front of others, they saw the old man suddenly die, and then they realized that they themselves had also suddenly experienced a tearing apart, and then died.
This terrifying scene, which should never have occurred in reality, actually happened right before Chen Miaowen's eyes.
"Where is it? Stand attacks only target ordinary people, why isn't it attacking me?"
There were many people in the park, about thirty in total, including men, women, and children. Almost all of them died at the hands of the spider. Some screamed and quickly fled the park area, but the spider did not chase after them.
Chen Miaowen wanted to run with them, but he didn't dare. The spider was coming towards him. Regardless of why he hadn't been targeted, if he suddenly ran away now, he would really die.
Moreover, he didn't have the strength to run, and even if he did, he couldn't run fast. He might have been eaten alive by spiders before he even left the park.
The park had quieted down. Dismembered bodies were scattered everywhere. Sunlight shone on the still-steaming blood that had just spurted out, making it glitter. Countless tiny spiders were reflected in the blood, rolling around and feeding like bloodthirsty animals.
"This is...this is terrifying..."
Chen Miaowen had been lying prone under the bench, and now, taking advantage of the fact that the spiders hadn't come this way, he finally had the idea of escaping.
So he slowly crawled backward, and then he touched something on his calf. It wasn't the touch of a spider, but it still gave him a chill.
He turned around and saw Wei Yuxiu, the boy standing there at a loss.
"What...what happened...why, why did this happen?"
He couldn't even see the spiders, and he couldn't even see his own clone!
"Hey, hey, listen to me, Wei Yuxiu, do you... do you know what a body double is?"
Seeing the other party's confused and puzzled expression, Chen Miaowen quickly realized that the other party might not even be a Stand user. That monster might not be a Stand, and even if it was, its master was not Wei Yuxiu.
He stood up and hid behind Wei Yuxiu.
"A substitute, what is that? All I know is... it appeared right in front of me, it appeared..."
He died before he could finish speaking.
Like everyone else in the park, he was torn apart by spiders.
"Spider, oh spider... you're fucking ruthless!"
Covered in blood, Chen Miaowen had no time to stand there and sigh; he could only keep running.
......
"We're almost in Tunisia. The entire trip, including landing, should only take about twenty minutes, and..."
The mysterious and passionate man glanced at Trish, who had fallen asleep again, and covered his mouth with a laugh.
"Besides, by then, this idiot might still be asleep, which would be the perfect situation for me! I could easily kill her while she's asleep without any bloodshed, completing the boss's mission!"
Thinking of this, he shuddered, an unparalleled, tingling pleasure filling his heart, making him even more excited. The speed of the helicopter also reached its maximum limit according to his mood, and the buzzing sound of the propeller became more and more exaggerated, which meant that the pilot was in a hurry and that he was impatient.
"Quick, quick, prepare for landing!"
He bit his nails and finally saw land after more than ten minutes, then, with his superb skills, prepared to end his journey.
Throughout the journey, he kept an eye on Trish's movements; she was still sleeping soundly, looking beautiful and radiant.
This made him genuinely happy because he realized that he was so excited that his pupils dilated when he realized he could kill such a beautiful woman in a few minutes.
Like Yoshikage Kira, he is a Stand user of the same type, possessing certain quirks, which may be even more severe.
It was so intense that in order to suppress his emotions, he had to grip the steering wheel with one hand while biting his nails hard with the other, even if it hurt, he had to try to calm himself down.
"Haha...this feeling is even more insane than killing a group of ordinary, beautiful women in a dark alley!"
He calmed himself down, stabilized his altitude, controlled his descent, and finally landed on an open area unique to Tunisia.
He then took another deep breath, cautiously turned around, and seeing that Trish still showed no signs of waking up, he coughed lightly and then exhaled his Stand.
"She's at her last gasp. Kill her. Don't cut off her head, just dismember her, dismember her like a teru teru bozu doll."
"Strong Crossbow at the End" is the name of his Stand. Now it is an extremely small Stand, so small on this land that its appearance is completely obscured, like a mysterious and passionate fingernail.
However, his stunt double grows larger at high altitudes, becoming larger and larger with increasing altitude. For example, at the height of a helicopter, the stunt double is at least twice the size of the helicopter.
This is one of the reasons why he cannot use his abilities at high altitudes. If he uses his Stand, the helicopter will be destroyed. Although he could kill Trish, he would also perish with her.
"Heh heh, but once I've landed on this land in Tunisia, I can't possibly lose!"
The crossbow bolt, no bigger than a fingernail, immediately pounced on Trish's chest, opening its mouth to take a bite.
Then it failed; it couldn't bite the softened body.
"Hmph, I knew it at first glance... You're definitely not a good person. Luckily, luckily I'm Spicy Girl, your Stand who will protect Trish no matter what!"
The hot girl appeared in front of Trish and threw a punch at the fingernail.
......
The last gasp of a strong bow.
Note:
(1) To activate this Stand ability, a coordinate must be established on land. For example, Mysterious Passion. Before meeting Trish, this coordinate must be established at the departure point. Otherwise, the Stand ability will not be activated, and the Stand will not even appear. Moreover, this coordinate will only be retrieved if the Stand returns to the land within the coordinate range within 48 hours, or if it is in the airspace above the land, and only then can the ability be used.
(2) The original form of a Stand is related to its height. The higher the height, the larger the Stand's size and the weaker its ability. Only when the Stand is reduced to the size of a fingernail can its ability be maximized.
(3) Stands can be remotely controlled, but when the ability is first activated against an enemy, the Stand user must be present in person, and if the host and the Stand are too far apart, the Stand will not be able to be retrieved.
ability:
1. Virus: The Stand has poison in its mouth; being bitten will result in death. When the Stand is larger, the poison can be neutralized by the abilities of other Stands, such as Crazy Diamond or Gold Experience. However, the poison in the fingernail form cannot be neutralized; touching it will result in certain death.
The effects of the "deadly poison" will determine the manner of death according to the host's wishes, such as rotting and dismemberment, but preserving the head, and the poison will kill the host according to this wish.
2. Concealment: Within a specific unit and for a certain period of time, it can have a visual effect on one or more creatures. The other party will visually ignore the existence of the Stand, but to other Stand users, the Stand is still conspicuously present.
When the nail is in its nail-like state, the effect lasts the longest, up to two hours, and can affect the most people, up to seven.
(Concealment is a proactive ability targeting the enemy. During concealment, consciously moving away from the enemy will accelerate the expiration of the ability.)
3. At the end of its rope: Within the coordinate range after being retrieved, the Stand can sense the danger to a certain extent. When the host is facing a major disaster that may be fatal, it will give the host hints in various ways.
For example, this ability might write a line of text somewhere in reality, perhaps using fallen leaves or water droplets from the sky to carve words on the ground, as a hint, but the host might ignore it.
Furthermore, the ability is based on altitude; the higher the altitude and the larger the size, the more confusing and unclear the prompts will be.
The Stand in its fingernail-sized form will then transform into a scene depicting the host's imminent serious injury or death, accurate to the second in the future. This scene will then be presented directly to the host through a hallucination in reality, similar to an epitaph. (The prompt represents a scene of an alterable future.)
