Meanwhile, Chen Jing and his group returned from across the street.
No one was home across the hall, and the door was locked. However, one of them had a metal-type ability user who could use their powers to break down the door and then restore it to its original state.
However, what Hongtang did not expect was that instead of directly destroying the outer door, they used their metal-type ability to replicate a door key and directly opened the door to enter.
Upon learning this, Hongtang's eyes lit up. So this is how superpowers can be used! I've learned something new.
Hehehe, then she can get more cars in the future, and she'll never have to worry about not having car keys again. Plus, her metal-type ability can reinforce the vehicle's body. Looks like she should get to know some metal-type ability users; they'll be very useful!
As Hongtang had predicted, Chen Jing and his team found no suspicion or clues about the neighbor across the street, so the mission was neither a success nor a failure.
Thanks to Hongtang's active cooperation, things went smoothly on Quzhi's side. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they prepared to leave.
“Chi family boy, come with me.” Qu Zhi turned around and glanced at Chi Ye.
Perhaps because the sweet potato suited his taste, he was in a good mood and his tone was much gentler than before.
"Okay, Uncle Qu," Chi Ye replied, then explained to Hong Tang, "I have some official business to take care of, I'll be back tonight, so I might have to stay here for the night. Tomorrow..."
Hongtang waved her hand dismissively, "Go on, they've all gone far away. We'll have dinner together when you come back."
Chi Ye smiled, in a great mood, "Okay."
After closing the door, Hongtang began tidying up the living room.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
The deflated inflatable sofa, sweet potato peels, potato peels, and dust on the floor were all put into garbage bags and placed by the door, to be thrown out later.
With Chi Ye and Han Ya now living in the house, the space is very inconvenient. She won't use it unless absolutely necessary these next few days.
I opened the window a crack and sprayed some light perfume into the living room to adjust the smell of the room.
It wasn't that she disliked the people from earlier, but rather that there were too many people and the space was too small, plus there was a coal stove burning, so the air quality was definitely not very good.
After dealing with all that, she released Ha Ge from the second bedroom. With so many officials arriving at once, to avoid unnecessary trouble, she had no choice but to lock Ha Ge inside.
"Meow~" Ha Ge darted out of the bedroom and began to patrol and sniff around.
Ha Ge: There's a stranger's scent! Another thief broke into the house. How come this stupid woman didn't notice?
"Brother Ha, I'm sorry you had to go through that earlier. I'll prepare dinner for you right away." Hongtang rubbed Brother Ha's fluffy head.
Perhaps due to the cold temperature, Hongtang noticed that Ha Ge's fur had grown considerably longer than before, its color had become lighter, and it felt better to the touch.
This may be a manifestation of animals adapting to extreme weather, just as animals used to change the length and density of their fur in summer and winter.
After feeding Ha Ge, Hong Tang couldn't help but complain, "Ha Ge, you won't turn into a snow-white wolf like the White Wolf King in the future, will you?"
"Meow! Meow~" Ha Ge's figure flashed and rushed towards the kitchen.
Silly woman, stop talking now! I've spotted a thief! Come help me!
"Crackling and popping!" The little lightning kept flashing, and Brother Ha ran around the room.
"Brother Ha, what's wrong?" Hongtang also noticed something was wrong; Brother Ha seemed to be chasing something.
Hongtang quickly released her spiritual power, enveloping the entire room. Now, no matter whether "that thing" was human or ghost, even air wouldn't be able to escape.
"Tick-tock~"
"Tick tock~"
After being struck by lightning several times by Brother Ha, "that thing" finally revealed its true colors.
Hongtang frowned as she looked at the increasing drops of blood in the shadows scattered throughout the room. She inexplicably thought of the strange man across the hall.
The immense spiritual power transformed into countless invisible steel needles and throwing knives, shooting and slashing throughout the room.
Soon, "that thing" revealed its true form: a dark shadow appeared behind the balcony curtains, then crashed heavily to the floor with a "bang".
It really is the man across the hall.
“The man across the hall,” Hongtang said coldly, revealing the other party’s identity.
"Xue Li." The cold voice of the man across the hall rang out, then he vomited blood all over the floor with a "whoosh".
You've dirtied my floor.
Hongtang approached Xue Li, squatted down, and ripped off his black mask, revealing his pale, almost transparent face.
Looks like he's seriously injured.
Moreover, he had just suffered a mental attack from himself, which aggravated his injuries. The fact that he was still conscious was quite impressive. You should know that he had used seventy percent of his mental energy just now.
Xue Li braced himself on the ground with one hand and clutched his abdomen with the other, unable to stop Hong Tang from attacking. Suddenly exposed, he was furious and said in a cold and ruthless tone, "If it were before, anyone who had seen my face would have died instantly."
Hongtang narrowed her eyes and frowned unhappily. "What's wrong with your face? You are somewhat good-looking, but you're not a superstar."
Besides, this is his own territory, and he's already trying to take advantage of him. And you're already at your limit, yet you're still putting on airs. Tsk tsk.
It's unclear whether he's foolish enough to misjudge the situation, or if he has some hidden trump card.
"You said it yourself, that's all in the past. Now, it's you who's going to die," Hongtang retorted irritably.
"Speak, what are your last words? Perhaps I can grant them?"
Xue Li snorted coldly, turned her face away, and stopped looking at Hong Tang.
"Hey, he's got quite a stubborn temper." Hongtang rolled up her sleeves and looked at Xue Li's battered and bruised appearance, she really wanted to slap him a few times and give him a good beating.
"You're a psychic ability user." Xue Li suddenly turned around and said something out of the blue.
Hong Tang narrowed his eyes again and again. He was also a psychic ability user, and he could sense when his own energy was used.
Fortunately, I didn't use my spatial ability just now, otherwise I really would have silenced this person.
However, Xue Li's special ability was quite unique, and he began to have the idea of subduing him.
Judging from his attitude, it won't be easy. Let's teach him a lesson first, conquering him step by step, both physically and mentally.
Let's give him a taste of his own medicine first.
But just as she rolled up her sleeves, ready to punch someone, Xue Li suddenly fainted, her head hitting the ground hard.
Hongtang grimaced; that really hurt.
The bright red blood stimulated Hongtang's sight and smell, and the evil thoughts in her heart were magnified infinitely without her even realizing it. At this moment, two little figures, one black and one white, were fighting in her mind.
Xiao Hei: Kill this guy! He's hiding and sneaking around, he's obviously not a good person.
Xiao Bai: Maybe they were just passing by and asked for passage. It's not that serious. A small punishment will suffice.
Xiao Hei: What if he came here to commit a crime, but was discovered before he could succeed? That would still be a heinous crime.
Xiao Bai: An attempted crime isn't unforgivable, is it? Everyone makes mistakes. Giving someone a chance to correct their mistakes isn't too much to ask.
Xiao Hei: It's the end of the world, we absolutely cannot be saints.
Xiao Bai: So what if it's the apocalypse? There's still true love in the apocalypse
Xiao Hei: That's just being too soft-hearted.
Xiao Bai: That's just sophistry.
Xiao Hei: Why don't we wait until he wakes up before we talk about it?
Xiaobai: Hmm, it's not impossible.
Hongtang: "......"
After a fierce internal struggle, evil thoughts prevailed over good thoughts, and Hongtang decided to let Xue Li go for the time being.
