Chapter 408: No.10

Just like a young couple, the two of them crossed the street and entered an alleyway, at the mouth of which was a food stand and further in were a few cheap hotels.

Gao Yang and Qing Ling went inside, looking up to see a signboard that said, “Goodnight Hotel.”

“Here?” Gao Yang asked.

Qing Ling nodded. “Yeah.”

They went in and registered their name at the front desk. Gao Yang even spent some time bargaining and ended up getting a 10 yuan discount.

Arms in arms, they entered their room. Gao Yang closed the door behind him, while Qing Ling went up to the windows to draw the curtains without missing a beat.

They exchanged a look before sitting down on the bed.

Gao Yang took out his phone quickly and typed a message, handing his phone to Qing Ling.

Having a glance, she rose to her feet and went to the bathroom, opening the shower.

Gao Yang, on the other hand, took the remote control on the headboard to turn on the television, adjusting the sound to maximum volume.

Then they returned to sitting on the bed with their weapons drawn, waiting quietly. All the while, Gao Yang had been paying attention to his system.

About three minutes passed.

Gao Yang heard the system’s warning. He quickly threw Qing Ling a glance.

She decisively rushed to the door and stabbed her Tang Dao through it. Frowning, she could tell from the sensation that there was no one outside.

A second later, she and Gao Yang realized almost at the same time that the enemy was outside the window.

While yanking her Tang Dao out, Qing Ling whipped her left wrist, sending the three Black Gold darts hidden in her long sleeve flying toward the curtain-covered window, as quickly as bullets.

Bam!

The three darts shot through the curtains and shattered the glass. Gao Yang extended his six senses, faintly hearing the sounds of darts stabbing into a body of flesh.

Gao Yang teleported immediately through the window to the outside, standing on the condenser unit. He looked down to find that indeed, drops of blood had been left on the signboard on the side. Their enemy must have been hurt by Qing Ling’s darts.

Qing Ling had jumped out of the window by then.

“Gone?”

Gao Yang nodded.

Ten minutes ago, Gao Yang and Qing Ling were just about to return to their university when Gao Yang sensed someone following them.

Immediately, Gao Yang decided to take her to a small hotel and left an opening purposefully to lure their enemy out.

His voice was cold and slimy like writhing worms, repulsive.

“Hehe, as expected, you’re awakeners. I’m gonna take you as my toys, hehe... I’ll treat you properly, hehe.”

As he spoke, yellowish saliva dripped down from the corners of his mouth.

Although the park was quiet, it wasn’t completely empty.

Outside the grove was a small artificial lake, and a group of college students sat on the lawn by the lake. Judging from the two tents they had put up, they seemed to be here to camp.

Witnessing all that, they fainted, meaning they were likely wanderers.

One girl was an exception, however. She dropped the poker cards in her hand and slowly stood up, her body shuddering violently as fangs grew out in her mouth. Thick, hard hair gradually covered her body, and her face distorted. Soon, she had turned into something resembling a wolf.

Shit, a summoner!

Gao Yang shouted at Qing Ling, “I’ll deal with him. You deal with the...”

Before he could say the word ‘summoner’, Qing Ling was already rushing toward the ugly, repulsive mouse of a man with her Tang Dao.

Hey, can’t you show me some respect as your temporary supervisor?

While grumbling inwardly, Gao Yang activated Teleportation.

The summoner’s monsterhood had awakened. Without hesitation, it tipped its head up and was about to howl to awaken all the wanderers in the area, triggering their frenzy.

Unfortunately for it, Gao Yang had already teleported to it and grabbed its throat before it could make a sound.

It thrust its sharp claws at Gao Yang. Before it could exert its strength, Gao Yang broke its neck with a crack.

At the same time, Gao Yang drew the dagger he brought with him and stabbed the monster in the heart, making sure it was dead.

With a shudder, the body in his grasp went slack, its head and limbs drooping.

Gao Yang slowly laid the summoner down on the ground, pulling the dagger out. The dead summoner reverted back to its human form.

She looked just like a regular girl.

Before her monsterhood awakened, she could’ve been a student attending the Li City University. Perhaps she had come camping with her classmates, having snacks, playing cards, drinking beer, and playing truth or dare. Perhaps one of the boys was her crush, and her friends were trying to set them up...

Yet an accident woke her monsterhood and turned her into a summoner, leading to her getting killed by an awakener, thus ending her life.

Was it a misfortune, or a release?

I’m sorry.

Gao Yang sighed softly and closed her eyes.

He then turned to Qing Ling and jumped in shock.
