Chapter 271: The Ex-Lover's Visit
Chapter 271: The Ex-Lover's Visit
The beeping of the energy detection device instantly roused Li Qian from his slumber, leaving him in a state of disbelief.
Where am I?
I
Li Qian couldn't fathom any unexpected situations, so he directly looked towards the direction of the sound.
The noise was coming from the neighboring balcony.
Li Qian, wearing a pair of flip-flops, clomped his way over.
He peered to the side and, as expected, saw nothing.
Just as Li Qian thought he might be experiencing auditory hallucinations, about to return to his room to rest, a sudden change occurred!
In the dim night, a strange figure, like lightning, darted out with astonishing speed from an unknown direction.
Then, it abruptly rushed into the neighboring balcony.
Li Qian rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"Am I having visual hallucinations now, too?" he muttered to himself. But at that moment, he suddenly snapped back to reality.
The beeping from the energy detection device on the bedside table in the room hadn't stopped!
"What's going on?" Just as he was perplexed, a blood-curdling scream erupted from the neighboring dormitory.
"Ahhhh..."
"Help!"
The voice belonged to Lu Tianjiao, his neighbor.
Hearing the plea for help, Li Qian instinctively sprang into action, rushing back to the balcony. He then leaped onto the neighboring balcony.
Before he could react, Li Qian saw a figure scrambling out of the room in a disheveled state.
He recognized the figure as Lu Tianjiao.
Compared to her usual graceful demeanor, she now appeared completely different.
Her hair was disheveled, her clothes torn, and she looked utterly disheveled.
Additionally, Li Qian noticed multiple bloodstains on her body.
Without further thought, Li Qian instinctively prepared to summon Seven Sons and Little Six for combat.
However, at that moment, a somewhat eerie figure suddenly darted out from the room.
This figure seemed human but was sprawled on all fours, resembling a giant spider.
The spider-like figure radiated a pair of eerie crimson eyes, and Li Qian, caught off guard, locked eyes with her for a moment. The next instant, a wave of inexplicable dizziness washed over him.
His thoughts momentarily blanked.
When Li Qian regained his senses, he realized the summoning array had mysteriously dimmed.
"Damn, you can interrupt my summoning, and you didn't even give me a heads-up," Li Qian exclaimed, now understanding the situation, and said with a hint of exasperation.
Lu Tianjiao, lying on the ground, heard Li Qian's complaint and responded with a strained voice, "You arrived too fast; I didn't have time to warn you."
"Blame me, then!" Li Qian's lips twitched at her words.
As the two exchanged words, the spider-like figure sprang into action again. She forcefully pushed off the ground with her feet and darted towards Lu Tianjiao, who had fallen beside her.
Lu Tianjiao executed a lazy somersault, narrowly evading the attack.
The spider-like figure, unsuccessful in its first attempt, prepared for another strike, seemingly determined to settle the score with Lu Tianjiao.
Li Qian suddenly leaped forward, grabbing a broom from the balcony and fiercely striking out with it.
A loud bang echoed as the broom forcefully hit the Spiderman's shadow, causing her to take a step back.
"Run!" Li Qian shouted, knowing that his attack had not inflicted any significant harm.
Lu Tianjiao scrambled to her feet, and the two quickly retreated from the balcony.
As they were leaving, Li Jian exerted a powerful force, slamming the two balcony glass doors shut.
With the balcony doors closed, the Spiderman's shadow was effectively trapped inside the dormitory.
However, Li Qian was well aware that such a simple measure could only provide a momentary hindrance.
It had no substantial effect.
Therefore, after closing the glass doors, he immediately shouted to Lu Tianjiao beside him, "Jump down!"
As his shout fell, he took the lead and leaped, jumping down from the balcony.
From the height of the third floor, in his previous life, jumping down would have left him severely injured if not dead.
But in this Beastmaster world, after several Evolution Feedback sessions, Li Qian's physical abilities had far surpassed ordinary people. Jumping from the third floor posed no significant risk to him.
As for why he didn't jump back into his own room, it was because Li Qian had determined that doing so would be pointless.
Moreover, with the Summoning Array disrupted, the only way to escape was to create a commotion and draw attention.
After all, they were in the dormitory building of Sand Beast Academy, and any disturbance would undoubtedly be noticed.
At that point, the crisis could be easily resolved.
Bang!
As Li Qian and Lu Tianjiao jumped, the balcony door, as expected, was smashed to pieces by the Spiderman's shadow.
Lu Tianjiao, a step behind, also jumped down, and upon seeing the commotion behind them, couldn't help but feel relieved.
If they hadn't acted decisively, they might have found themselves in another perilous situation.
The two leaped down, landing on the grass in front of Building 3. Looking back, they saw that the Spiderman's shadow had also jumped down.
After jumping off the balcony, with the help of the streetlight by the nearby lake, Li Qian finally got a clear look at the Spiderman's shadow.
But it was precisely because he could now see the Spiderman's shadow clearly that he couldn't help but show a look of astonishment, "Damn, isn't this your ex? She's here to rekindle your past romance!"
Indeed, although the person's posture was bizarre at this moment, with limbs spread out and lying on the ground like a giant spider, Li Qian could still clearly identify her.
The person before him was none other than Lu Tianjiao's ex-girlfriend, the Kucha girl whose name he couldn't remember, whom they had met twice in just a few hours.
"No, brother, I really don't know her, and I don't want to rekindle any ghostly past with her!" Lu Tianjiao said, shaking his head like a rattle drum after hearing Li Qian's words.
"Try to communicate with her, maybe she still has unfinished feelings for you?" Li Qian urged.
Lu Tianjiao's head shook like a rattle drum, "She can't wait to open a hole in me, let alone have any unfinished feelings!"
"What did you do to make her so heartbroken?" Li Qian teased.
"Do you think, with her in this state, that she's here to seek revenge on me because of relationship issues?" Lu Tianjiao's mouth twitched.
Li Qian smiled awkwardly.
It was indeed highly unlikely!
This girl was clearly possessed by malevolent spirits!
