Generally speaking, the higher the temperature and density of an object, the faster the propagation speed. However, due to its special structure, ice can transmit sound at a speed of up to 3160 meters per second.
Ghiaccio's ability to freeze all the moisture in the air was much easier than directly freezing the floor. The temperature he emitted allowed him to freeze the entire room on the first floor.
"Aren't you listening very clearly?" Nijimura Keicho whispered, "I'll make you listen even more clearly."
Nijimura Keicho's Stand, The Bad Company, possessed a squadron of tiny figures.
They were like a combat team, marching in unison around the door curtain, making rhythmic footsteps.
"Thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump—"
Such uniform footsteps were transmitted at full speed to Ghiaccio's ears.
"This guy's Stand..." He carefully distinguished the sounds, then thought for a moment, "The number of these sounds should be less than two hundred."
Nijimura Keicho hid in a dark corner on the second floor. He used the sounds emitted by The Bad Company to cover his own voice. The door was completely closed by a squadron of tiny figures, the light source disappeared, and the entire room plunged into darkness.
"He almost scared me," Keicho thought. "He is indeed the strongest Stand User I have ever seen. It won't be so easy to deal with him this time."
A Stand is actually a very rare thing. The SPW Foundation has fewer than two hundred Stand Users on record. Considering that many Stand Users are unwilling to reveal that they have a Stand or don't even know they have one, there should be no more than five hundred Stand Users in this world.
The existence of Stand Users can attract each other, but not many Stand Users gather together.
Since Nijimura Keicho obtained the arrow, he has shot countless people, but only a handful of people have gained Stands. People often have a survivor bias, thinking there are many Stand Users, but in reality, there are not many.
Moreover, Ghiaccio is the person with the strongest Stand Ability he has ever seen.
"Is this guy invincible? Where exactly is his weakness?" Nijimura Keicho's intelligence is much higher than his brother's, and now, in a desperate situation, his combat intelligence has increased again.
Just now, when I attacked this guy, he leaned backward. Could it be that his weakness is in the back? The Bad Company uses M16 series automatic rifles, and although their power is reduced because their bodies are a hundred times smaller, it is still not to be underestimated.
But they can't penetrate his armor at all.
"Never mind! Destroyer planes!"
"Rumble—"
The sound of several destroyer planes came from his ears. At the same time, the tanks on the ground were already ready.
The destroyer planes' flight speed slowed down due to the freezing—
"Lower the temperature a bit more!" Ghiaccio whispered. His freezing range continued to expand, and the entire room was like it had been put into an ice cellar—
He quickly removed the ice under his feet, continuously lowering the temperature—
The destroyer planes emitted fire, and three missiles rushed towards him. Ghiaccio leaned back again, forming several ice surfaces in front of him—
The three missiles and the tanks' attacks were all defended, but Ghiaccio also took a Clash and half-squatted down—
But!
"Got him!" Nijimura Keicho watched Ghiaccio step on several landmine switches he had set up earlier—
"I placed ten landmines there. This time, your ice surface won't be able to defend against them."
—Bang!!
A huge fire burst out of the entire room, and smoke had completely enveloped the whole room—
"Pfft." Nijimura Keicho spat out a mouthful of blood. This blood was not from Ghiaccio's injury, but because he knew Ghiaccio alone couldn't step on so many landmines, so he ordered his soldiers to step on the mines themselves.
"This is my resolve."
Nijimura Keicho said in a low voice with a mouthful of blood. Although The Bad Company's damage would not be returned to him, too much damage would continuously accumulate on him.
"Cough, cough, cough."
A heavy cough came from Ghiaccio's direction.
"What?!!" Nijimura Keicho couldn't believe it. Ten landmines, and they still hadn't killed him?!
As the smoke cleared, the White Album on one of Ghiaccio's feet was completely blown through, revealing his red high-top canvas shoes.
"Only blew through the outer shell?" Keicho wiped a streak of blood from the corner of his mouth. If ten landmines could blow through the outer shell of his White Album, then he would do it again, this time with twenty.
"Wait." Keicho glanced at Ghiaccio and coughed twice.
Did the smoke enter his armor? I understand! Keicho was overjoyed. "You're not invincible! Your external armor is made of ice, and ice doesn't allow external oxygen! Your weakness is your breathing hole!"
Keicho laughed loudly, "This is my fight, I must kill him. There must be more than just this one arrow in the world, and these guys are the masterminds behind collecting and controlling Stand Users."
I absolutely cannot let the arrow fall into their hands.
Countless tiny figures were constantly searching for Ghiaccio's air vents, while Ghiaccio was also constantly killing the tiny figures. Keicho accumulated more and more damage on his body.
Found it!! At the back of his head—
Less than fifty people left?! Keicho stumbled out, using twenty figures to attack from the front, making Ghiaccio lower his head, and the remaining thirty figures attacked that air vent!
"Fire!!"
With a command to fire, hundreds of bullets were unleashed from both sides. Ghiaccio used White Album: Gently Weeps to deflect all the bullets in front of him, hitting the tiny figures in front. Only less than thirty people remained—
"Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat—"
Gunfire erupted from behind, hundreds of bullets were fired again, aimed at Ghiaccio's air vent—
Ghiaccio couldn't help but sneer when he heard the sound.
The bullets that hit the air vent seemed to be fixed in place.
Keicho's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Do I need you to remind me of my White Album's ability?" Ghiaccio said in a low voice, taking advantage of Keicho's stunned state to freeze all the tiny figures behind him into ice—
"Of course I know the air vent at the back is my weakness, so I've already frozen the air inside to breathe. My coughing just now was to let you discover the air vent, you idiot."
Ghiaccio swung his fist mercilessly, directly shattering half of the frozen The Bad Company—
"Pfft—" Keicho coughed up a mouthful of blood violently, several bones in his body fractured, and he fell to the ground—
"How about it?" Ghiaccio picked up one of the frozen tiny figures—
That was the last one.
Keicho kept crawling forward, reaching the window—
"I'd rather die than give it to you!" he shouted, then used all his strength to shatter the sealed window, hugged the arrow, and jumped from the second floor.
"Is this my life?" he said unwillingly in his heart, and then, like a broken doll, he directly—
Slammed into Koichi Hirose, who was motionless directly below—
He found himself unharmed, quickly got up, and saw Koichi Hirose, who had cushioned his fall—
He was foaming at the mouth, an arrow sticking out of his back.
