Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?
#12 - Chapter 12: Peeping in the Dark
The rain gradually lessened, turning into a drizzle like catkins, falling with the wind.
Pedestrians on the road lowered their umbrellas, and some hot pot and kebab shops began moving tables outside, the vibrant life of City 11 quietly blossoming at this moment.
Li Chenqiu, wearing a black helmet, rode his bike down the road, the small windmill on his helmet spinning "whirr, whirr" in the wind, soon arriving at his destination – Fourth High School.
At the entrance of Fourth High, countless snack stalls lined both sides of the road, the tempting aromas stimulating the taste buds of passersby, and students, just released from evening self-study, gathered sporadically around the stalls, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
In front of a stall selling roujiamo (meat sandwiches), a young man who looked to be in his twenties, with a somewhat round face, stood to the side, his eyes glued to the sizzling pork in the oil, constantly swallowing his saliva.
His name was Li Qingxia, Li Chenqiu's second elder brother.
The yellow shirt made Li Qingxia particularly eye-catching on the roadside, and Li Chenqiu noticed him as soon as he arrived on his bike.
"Second Brother," Li Chenqiu called out.
"Hey!" Li Qingxia, hearing this, turned around in surprise, raised his hand in response, and trotted over excitedly: "You came so fast, you really care!"
"Where are the kebabs you bought?" Li Chenqiu glanced at his empty hands.
"I was going to buy them, but I didn't expect the kebabs to go up in price, the vegetarian ones by thirty cents, the meat ones by fifty cents, what a pity… Hey, hey, hey!"
Li Qingxia raised his leg to get on the bike, but Li Chenqiu pushed him back: "What 'hey' are you saying? I came to pick you up while starving, how can you be so shameless as to hitch a ride empty-handed?"
"I kindly…" Before Li Qingxia could finish speaking, Li Chenqiu twisted the handlebars and slowly drove forward.
Li Qingxia stood there stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed and shouted to Li Chenqiu: "Hey, don't go, okay, okay, I'll buy them, I'll buy them!"
Hearing this, Li Chenqiu stopped: "Go on, tell them to put more cumin."
"Wait for me," Li Qingxia gave Li Chenqiu a resentful look and walked towards the kebab stall in the distance.
Although Li Qingxia had been working longer than Li Chenqiu, his hourly wage at Li Ji's shop wasn't much higher, six yuan an hour, one yuan more than Li Chenqiu.
Watching the other's receding figure, a hint of warmth appeared in Li Chenqiu's usually cold eyes.
After learning the news of Xu Yue's death, Li Chenqiu felt like a piece of duckweed on the sea, with nowhere to dock, lonely and helpless.
At this time, Li Ji and Li Qingxia entered his dark heart.
When the sun was shining, Li Qingxia would ride his bicycle and take Li Chenqiu to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset, and on the way down, he would buy Li Chenqiu the most expensive milk tea at the milk tea shop along the way.
When there was a good movie, Li Qingxia would generously buy Li Chenqiu tickets for the 3D showing, while he himself would sit on the steps outside the cinema, basking in the sun.
When they returned to the shop in the evening, Li Ji would always cook a lot of expensive meat dishes, and tacitly place them closer to Li Chenqiu.
The shop wasn't big, but it had everything, and although there were few people, it could still provide warmth.
The brief period of happiness made Li Chenqiu think about continuing like this, but this was ultimately just wishful thinking.
Li Chenqiu's sudden appearance aroused the suspicion of a Special Abilities Division intelligence officer, who followed the clues and discovered many suspicious points about Li Chenqiu, even questioning the identities of Li Ji and Li Qingxia.
Soon after, this intelligence officer died, at the hands of Li Chenqiu. From that moment on, Li Chenqiu understood a truth.
The peace he desired could only be built on strength, and his happiness could only be grasped with his fists!
…
On the side of the road, Li Chenqiu looked tired, leaning weakly on the front of his bike, the "gurgling" sound of his stomach already making him too lazy to straighten up.
Seeing that Li Qingxia hadn't returned for a long time, Li Chenqiu was about to take out the leftover roast chicken from the storage space under the seat when his body suddenly froze, but he quickly returned to normal, leaning on the bike and eating the roast chicken as if nothing had happened.
A few seconds later, Li Chenqiu took out his phone and dialed Li Qingxia's number.
"Don't rush, I'm haggling with the boss, you wait…"
"I think I'm being watched," Li Chenqiu directly interrupted Li Qingxia.
The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and the noise there gradually subsided.
Li Qingxia found an inconspicuous corner to crouch down, and seriously asked: "How do you know?"
"When I was eating something on the bike just now, I felt a cold gaze staring at me from behind for a few seconds, you know, my sixth sense is always very accurate."
"I believe you, what do you need me to do?" Li Qingxia looked up, his gaze passing through the crowd and looking towards Li Chenqiu's direction through the gaps.
"What building is about a hundred meters away behind me, at the five o'clock direction?" Li Chenqiu asked in a deep voice.
A flash of blue light flashed in Li Qingxia's eyes, and he looked up behind Li Chenqiu: "Anxian Hotel, quite dilapidated, looks like it's been around for some years."
Li Chenqiu closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and said: "The windows are facing me, from the third to sixth floor, are there any rooms that look strange to you?"
"Strange… wait." Li Qingxia was silent for a few seconds: "The fifth floor is a bit strange, there's someone standing behind the curtains, not moving at all."
"Got it, you continue buying!" Li Chenqiu was about to hang up the phone, but Li Qingxia stopped him:
"What do you want to do? You don't even know who the other party is and you're going up there? Aren't you afraid something will happen!?!"
"How strong can someone who's secretly watching me be? As for who the other party is, I'll know once I catch him."
As Li Chenqiu spoke, he parked his bike and walked towards a nearby alley.
"Wait, I'll go with you, the two of us together will have a better chance of winning!"
"No, your ability can only amplify your five senses, it's useless, it's more convenient for me to go alone."
After saying this, Li Chenqiu hung up the phone and walked into the depths of the alley.
Li Qingxia's face darkened on the other end of the phone, and he pursed his lips, not knowing what to say. Although his strength was a bit weaker, was he really completely useless?
…
…
Pa-thump, pa-thump, pa-thump…
Li Chenqiu slowly arrived at the dimly lit area behind the Anxian Hotel, stepping through puddles of water.
He glanced at the fifth floor, slightly bent his knees, and with a light leap, climbed towards the fifth floor as quickly as a cat.
The speed was so fast that even the camera could only capture a faint and indistinct afterimage.
Reaching the fifth floor, Li Chenqiu instantly locked onto the location of the target, pushed off with his legs, and transformed into a black shadow, opening the window with lightning speed, bursting into the room, and pinning the figure behind the curtains to the ground.
"Who told you to…" Li Chenqiu was about to say something, but he swallowed the rest of his words when he saw the other party's identity.
