Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1237 - 547: Red Blood
Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
Qin Er's eyes widened right there, the thumping of her heart resounding clearly in her ears.
Who?
Who could be knocking at the door all of a sudden?
Didn't I tell the waiter not to bother me?
After a moment's hesitation, Qin Er cautiously approached the door.
With a soft creak, she cracked it open just a sliver.
She peered outside.
Standing at the doorway wasn't some ferocious beast or the waiter, but a young man dressed in white.
The young man's looks in white weren't particularly elegant, yet they were tidy enough to create a positive first impression.
However... she had no idea who this white-clad youth was.
Moreover, it might have been her imagination, but his eyes seemed fixed above her head?
What a rude fellow! Even if she wasn't very tall, no one should stare like that!
"Miss?"
"Huh?" Startled out of her daze, Qin Er quickly refocused.
This wasn't the moment to dwell on his appearance; the key was his identity and reason for seeking her out!
Noticing Qin Er's brief confusion, the youth in white flashed a warm smile.
"Miss, I'm in the room next door. It's my first visit to Thunder City. I've just arrived and heard about many fascinating spots here. Are you a local? Mind giving me some recommendations?"
Qin Er barely remembered anything herself, having spent her time hiding and fleeing in Thunder City, clueless about any romantic scenic places under flowers or moonlight.
The subtle smirk tugging at the youth's lips made Qin Er sense a hint of playfulness?
She disliked it.
Frowning lightly, Qin Er shook her head and started shutting the door.
This abrupt action evidently surprised the white-clad youth.
"Miss... you're quite reserved. Looks like I've interrupted you."
Before the youth could even finish, the door banged shut.
Chuckling and shaking his head, the young man headed back to the adjacent room.
Unbeknownst to him, as soon as he left, Qin Er slumped against the door, her pulse racing wildly.
"That guy... he's from the next room!"
"No doubt about it!"
"He's the one the Rebel Army tasked me to watch!"
"Hold on! Why did he knock suddenly? Did he spot my eavesdropping?"
Terror gripped Qin Er.
If he turned out to be a demon or savage monster, she had brushed death moments ago!
Her eyes drifted to the wall, suddenly losing all urge to press against it for sounds.
"I'll wait a bit... eavesdrop occasionally. That way, I complete the mission without getting caught easily..."
Qin Er convinced herself with this excuse and stayed away from the wall.
What she didn't realize was her narrow escape from the gates of hell just now.
"Ordinary person."
This was Fang Yu's verdict back in the room, directed at Ding Hui.
The basis...
Obviously, the health bar.
A pitifully thin health bar—no way she was a martial artist, much less a demon.
"Then why's she eavesdropping on us through the wall?"
Ding Hui inquired without looking up.
She was sorting through her demon items once more.
"A fetish?"
Fang Yu replied unsurely.
In a vast forest, birds of every feather flock.
Players came in all sorts, many indulging wild fetishes, diving deep into their passions like pros.
Maybe that neighbor was one such player, and the sounds from him and Ding Hui fueled her game.
With that in mind, the woman next door might truly be a player! Only players chased quirks so fervently.
"A fetish? You believe it's coincidence that we got betrayed, and immediately someone takes the room next door?"
Fang Yu pressed his lips together.
"Fine, I'll go take her out."
"Hold off. I believe your eyes. No cultivation means no danger. Her sender's irrelevant. For fishing, target the big ones. Wait till night to gauge things. She's right next door—ordinary as she is, can she slip away?"
Fang Yu agreed, seeing the logic.
The neighbor was meat on the chopping block; they could handle her whenever.
That was flipping the script's power.
Seeming watched, yet they held control, free to press or pull back.
"Diao Deyi."
As Fang Yu pondered, Ding Hui had somehow gotten on the bed, crooking a finger at him.
"What?"
"Over here." Ding Hui patted the sheet.
"Huh???"
Fang Yu stared blankly. What was this about?
With someone listening next door, you're fired up? Got that kink too??
What's it called—making others' game your own??
Ding Hui nearly burst into giggles at Fang Yu's stunned face, like a blooming flower.
"Lie down. We skipped today's check-up."
"Oh..."
Fang Yu got it then.
Just messing with me...
But as he settled on the bed, Ding Hui pressed both hands to his chest.
"Diao Deyi, what was that reaction? Hoping... or expecting...?"
Fang Yu sidestepped it, turning away: "Cut it out. Got a fight tonight."
"Relax, first wave won't be tough. Real groups probe with small fries before committing. If they hit tonight, expect weaklings."
