Chapter 28: One of Seven Factors of World Destruction
His body seemed to be drawn into a pitch-black vortex, as if even death itself would dissolve within that silent darkness. Countless hands emerged from the sea of darkness, reaching out and grabbing at him.
It was as if he were the only one remaining in this world.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lu Yibei was abruptly brought back to reality, and the sounds of the door being slammed shook his eardrums.
F-f*ck he heaved. He breathed violently as if he were lacking oxygen and keeled forward once again as the sharp pain in his abdomen flared up.
The scissors moved on their own; they tore apart at the seams of his clothes and plunged themselves into his belly. Its tip submerged slowly into his abdomen, and blood started to pool around his tattered clothes.
Thankfully, the wound wasnt deep, and he could feel that his vital organs werent injured.
He stared at the scissors that were plunging into his belly and decided to do nothing.
He knew that if he were to pull it out, his blood would start gushing out like a waterfall.
M-miss Zhu, I quit, please, he breathed.
One, two, three
After waiting a few seconds, there was no longer any pain in his stomach, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The brash slams against the door continued, and he gritted his teeth, using the wall as support, and leaned against it. When looking towards the door, a pensive look appeared on his face.
T-that must be the stranger who sneaked into the resort; how do I get away?
His eyes fell upon the statue of Acala, the Immovable, and a venomous flare flashed in his eyes. Clasping at his stomach, he picked up the statue and walked towards the door.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gu Qianqian continued to kick at the doors lock and strike it with her metal club before sighing weakly, System? You there?
Im here.
Isnt it bad for me to just destroy the lock? If anything, Im just alerting whoever is inside the room.
Relax. Arent you the main character? You must have a little arrogance and pride in your actions! Who cares if youre alerting them?
But I dont want to!
Be quiet.
Damn, okay.
Sending a mental glare towards her system, she continued to swing at the metal lock of the door.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yibei leaned against the wall right next to the door, and the slams against the metal lock were thunderous and booming in his ears. He barely moved from his position, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time.
However
The banging against the door continued without fail, but it seemed that his assailant was having trouble breaking the door down.
Come on, hurry up! he whispered. The anticipation was clearly killing him, and he found himself cheering for the stranger outside.
Crack!
Finally, the wood against the door broke. He stared at the door lock that flew out, and the door was slightly pushed forward as well.
A phantom-like fish swam through the open door, and its big, twisted mouth let out an evil cackle, Kekeke! Who shall be my dinner tonight?
However, its smile fell immediately upon seeing Yibei holding the statue above his head.
Primal fear struck within the deepest part of its heart, and it immediately swam out the open door.
I-its her!
She has spiritual fluctuations surrounding her body! N-no, she mustve transformed into a witch!
Gu Qianqian, run! the weird shadow yelled in horror.
Seeing a shadow looming closer and closer to the open door, he took a deep breath, and with all his might, he swung the statue of Acala, the Immovable.
System, what are you talking about? Gu Qianqian muttered. She simply shrugged and poked her head into the room and
Nothing more.
Acala, the Immovables plump and smooth forehead, connected with her own, and she flew out of the room from the impact. Her limp body bounced twice down the corridor, and she fell to the ground, not moving.
Yibei was overjoyed upon hearing her limp body fall to the ground. His dear statue has never been used practically, save for killing Mr Rabbits clone.
He placed the statue gingerly on the ground before clasping his hands together and whispering a short prayer to it. He walked out of the door expressionlessly and froze upon seeing the identity of the girl.
He knew she was familiar, and his breath hitched.
Why her?
He noticed that the girls lower body was apparently wrapped in a bath towel, and he frowned upon remembering something.
He reached out his hand from his pocket, took out the tattered pieces of cloth, and ripped off the bath towel covering her. He immediately started to turn her unconscious body around, attempting to match the tattered cloth to her clothing.
The phantom stood around the corner and stared at the scene before it.
M-my god, shes not going to do what I think shes going to do, is she? Im sorry, Gu Qianqian, but I am unable to protect you!
The moment he turned her around, he could see a palm-sized hole on her buttocks area, and plump, pristine skin was exposed.
He grinned and nodded, So, it was you.
But what is she doing in such a place?
He sighed, and his warm breath caressed her buttocks. In her unconsciousness, she seemed to feel a big, cold hand caressing her
She startled herself awake, covering her buttocks subconsciously. All she could see before herself was a boy holding pieces of her clothes, rubbing them gently between his fingertips.
Her fair face gradually turned as red as a tomato, and tears welled up in her big eyes.
Y-you! What did you do to me?
Lu Yibei was deep in thought and replied subconsciously, Just slapped it
You-
What? O-oh.
He came back to his senses, and his eyes fell upon her hand and the cloth in his hand. W-wait, I think youre misunderstanding something.
Liar!
I There was no point in explaining. He knew his facial paralysis would not make him a bit more convincing.
Gu Qianqian, hurry up and run away! Youll die if you provoke her! The systems voice rang in her ear, and she stared at Lu Yibei with a little more fear in her eyes.
Gu Qianqian wordlessly snatched the piece of cloth from his hand and ran down the corridor.
Lu Yibei, you just wait! I, Gu Qianqian, will kill you one day! Her voice echoed down the corridor.
Calm down. Were lucky to be alive, the system reminded. If we want to kill her, we can only do so by performing a sneak attack.
Is he that scary? Gu Qianqian pouted.
Absolutely, the systems voice trembled. Remember, she is one of the seven factors that will destroy the world in the future. Last time, we had one chance to kill her, and you missed it. Now, shes getting more and more powerful
Why do I feel like youre blaming me? she tilted her head. Besides, I thought you could predict the future! Why didnt you tell me he was here!
I cant track down the trajectory of her fate. It is like fog.
Damn! She must be powerful!
The system couldnt believe she had bought that awful lie once again.
Lu Yibei stared at the corridor where Gu Qianqian had just left. Was she dangerous? Should he be worried? He felt like she was just there to bother and pester him.
Forget it, he sighed to himself. Zhu Linglongs power seems to have disappeared. I better report back to Jiangli.
