#543 - Chapter 542 The Opportunity Arrives
The night was quiet, but the heart was noisy.
Li Chenqiu clasped his hands tightly, silently following behind the young man with the slanted bangs, walking with him through the streets, over the stone bridge, and to the entrance of the school's hotel.
"Why are you following me all the time? If you want to get to know me, you have to get closer," the young man with the slanted bangs stopped, turned his head, and opened his arms.
This is the War Academy, you can't just fight, this is the War Academy, you can't just fight... Li Chenqiu muttered a few times in his heart, suppressing the urge to strike directly.
Then, clutching the corner of his clothes, he said timidly, "Why... why did you bring me to a place like this?"
The young man with the slanted bangs smiled playfully and pursed his lips: "Are you really confused or are you pretending to be confused? It's late at night, I brought you here, what do you think I want to do?"
Li Chenqiu lowered his head, pretending to be shy: "After spending the night with you, will you give me Zhou Tengfei's contact information?"
The corner of the young man's mouth with the slanted bangs slightly raised: "Only if you make me happy."
"Let's talk about it in the room."
Li Chenqiu lowered his head, walked around the other party, and hurried into the hotel.
"He's quite shy!"
The young man with the slanted bangs had a greedy look in his eyes and stepped up to follow.
After the two checked in at the front desk, they entered the elevator one after the other and went to the floor where the room was located.
The young man with the slanted bangs hummed a little tune, swiped the room card to open room 505, and strode in. Li Chenqiu followed closely behind and closed the door.
"Now that we're in the room, it's time to make me comfortable, I've been holding back all the way!"
The young man with the slanted bangs walked to the bed and sat down, smiling and patting the position next to him.
"You've worked hard!"
The timidity in Li Chenqiu's eyes slowly faded away, and he walked up to the other party with a cold expression, asking condescendingly, "Where is Zhou Tengfei?"
"Oh, how did you know I like the cold type, hehehe!" The young man with the slanted bangs opened his arms and lunged forward.
At this moment, Li Chenqiu's five fingers bent into claws and quickly reached forward, grabbing his neck firmly before the young man could get close.
"You like to play this... uh, uh, uh..."
Before the young man with the slanted bangs could finish speaking, his eyes suddenly bulged out, his face instantly turned red, and the bulging veins crawled all over his forehead like earthworms.
As Li Chenqiu's arm lifted slightly, his feet gradually left the ground, his legs kicking wildly, and his hands tightly grasped the wrist that was holding his neck, trying to break it apart, but it was all in vain.
"Since you don't want to say it, then I can only take it myself."
Li Chenqiu turned his palm over, and the Soul-Devouring Pearl appeared in his palm. Without the slightest hesitation, he pressed it directly on the other party's forehead.
In an instant, the young man's body convulsed uncontrollably as if it had been electrocuted, and his facial features were twisted together in pain, looking particularly hideous and terrifying!
He wanted to make a sound to attract the attention of others, but the hand was pinching too tightly, and before the sound could rush out of his throat, it was extinguished inside.
"I just want to sleep, what did I do wrong!"
This was the young man's scream in his heart. After more than ten seconds, his body stopped convulsing, his head tilted and he died completely.
Li Chenqiu casually threw the young man's body into the air and flicked out a marble-sized flame.
Whoosh—
The walls of the room reflected a deep red firelight, the young man was swallowed by the flames, his body turned to ashes, and everything in the room was as usual.
Li Chenqiu took the Soul-Devouring Pearl, walked to the bed and sat down, straightened his chest, took a deep breath, and pressed the Soul-Devouring Pearl to his forehead.
Buzzing—
A cicada-like buzzing sound suddenly rang in his mind, followed by bursts of stinging pain that came like a tide, impacting his consciousness. With each collision, massive amounts of memory merged into it.
It was mixed with his own memories. This feeling was like pouring a bottle of ink into a basin of clear water, chaotic and incomparable, but only chaotic, nothing else.
Li Chenqiu's soul strength was much higher than the young man's, and he quickly separated the ink from the clear water, and then watched his life from the other's perspective.
Sun Qian, twenty years old, from City No. 89, North Federation.
His father was a very bad person. Gambling, crime, and alcohol-fueled domestic violence were the most prominent labels on this person.
The reason his mother named him Sun Qian was because she hoped that he would become a humble person in the future and not be like his father, but in such an environment, this possibility was slim.
As a child, Sun Qian was often bullied and isolated by his peers because of his small stature and poor family. Over time, his personality became withdrawn, his psychology became distorted, and he became fond of killing animals.
At the age of eighteen, he became a Fated One. Because his ability was rated B, he entered the War Academy.
When a weak person suddenly becomes strong, ambition and desire will also expand. Sun Qian is no longer satisfied with seeking pleasure from animals, and his goal has turned to people.
With the identity of a student of the War Academy, his path went very smoothly, and he met many like-minded people on this path. Zhou Tengfei was one of them. They traveled together and went further and further...
Li Chenqiu opened his eyes, patted his head, shook his head, put the Soul-Devouring Pearl into the space ring, and muttered, "It's really uncomfortable!"
The discomfort he was talking about was not physical discomfort, but psychological discomfort. Although his soul strength was far higher than Sun Qian's and he would not be affected by it, discomfort was inevitable.
It's like forcing someone who likes to watch comedies to watch horror movies. After watching it, how can they feel comfortable in their heart? They may have to worry about a hand reaching out from under the bed in the middle of the night.
Li Chenqiu stood up, and white mist rose around him, enough to conceal his figure.
When the night wind rushed into the window screen and dispersed the white mist, the young woman had disappeared in place, replaced by the previous young man with the slanted bangs, Sun Qian.
That's right, next Li Chenqiu will act in the other party's image.
Sun Qian was not lying when he was in the tavern in the afternoon. Zhou Tengfei is indeed not in the War Academy now.
A few days ago, the other party returned to the Zhou family's mansion built in the Second Federal District, saying that it was his father's order and he would have to wait until the 20th or so to return.
Although under normal circumstances, the New World would not do things like kidnapping and threats, after all, there is a tacit understanding between each other, but for the sake of safety, Zhou Lian still called Zhou Tengfei back to the Zhou family's mansion.
"He ran pretty fast."
Li Chenqiu sneered, and there was no worry in his eyes that Zhou Tengfei had hidden in his own mansion.
Because Zhou Tengfei, who was bored, had already arranged for his younger brothers to gather at his home tomorrow, and Sun Qian, as the number one younger brother, was naturally on the list!
