Li Qing, without a second thought and still imbued with Undead Contact, twisted his body and pounced like a tiger.
Touched sothing solid!
Feeling that he crashed into sothing as cold as ice, Li Qing was not frightened but rather overjoyed, as he clasped the entity tightly with his hands in reverse grip.
The Red-robed Resentful Ghost seed to not have expected Li Qing to actually touch her solidly, caught off guard as she was firmly clasped by Li Qing.
From the outside, it seed that Li Qing was suspended in mid-air, like an octopus, with his legs and arms embracing the air.
The Resentful Ghost finally reacted, a piercing and shrill sound erupted, a high-frequency sound wave imdiately stunned Li Qing's head and hurt his ears so severely, it felt like two streams of hot fluid were rushing out from both sides.
The eardrums were ruptured?!
Li Qing quickly cald down instead, despite the intense struggle from the other, with almost Giant Strength, he bore the pain.
"Mage's Hand!"
Four transparent large hands suddenly appeared next to Li Qing. Instantly, Li Qing released his grip and fell to the ground, the four hands seamlessly took over, two of them expanded to a ter in size, the Mage's Hand clasped the invisible Resentful Ghost tightly, while the other two changed like fists and fiercely pounded the air ahead.
Encountered resistance! Effective!
Li Qing quickly scrambled to his feet and retreated to the hallway, keeping the Mage's Hand attacking non-stop.
Then, Li Qing couldn't help but change color; the Mage's Hand began to lose control over the opponent, the magic gradually losing effectiveness, as the opponent's Soul Power was too strong for the current Li Qing to maintain the Mage's Hand.
He decisively turned to open the door, only to find it as heavy as a thousand pounds.
"Switching."
"Dispel Illusion."
Seeing the handle turn by his own hand, Li Qing's expression beca invigorated, it was working, he fiercely pulled open the door, seeing the sudden appearance of a blurred human figure in the living room darting towards him, Li Qing promptly closed the door.
'Bang!'
As the door closed, everything seed to return to peace, as if everything just now was an illusion.
Confird that the opponent seed unable to leave the room, Li Qing's tense mood finally relaxed.
With the adrenaline fading, Li Qing felt the sharp pain from his ears.
He raised his hands to cover his ears.
"Repairing Minor Injuries!"
His palm glowed with a faint green light, continuously entering his ear, alleviating most of the sharp stabbing pain.
After casting four consecutive 'Repairing Minor Injuries' Level 0 Magic, and confirming his ears could hear normally again, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
This Level 0 'Repairing Minor Injuries' magic is really convenient; the life-valuing Li Qing learned it without hesitation upon seeing it, only successfully embedding it into his system three days ago.
How exactly to deal with this thing...
Li Qing pondered, the main issue earlier was his physical reaction wasn't fast enough, and his strength was lacking, otherwise, the opponent wouldn't have evaded so easily.
If he were a First-Ring Mage, dealing with such a Resentful Ghost would have been effortless.
Unfortunately, he's not.
After so thought, Li Qing knocked on the door of his neighbor's apartnt.
After a long while, a cautious voice quietly echoed.
"Who?"
"It's , your neighbor next door."
There was silence for a mont, then the door opened a crack, held by a security chain, revealing an eye full of wariness staring at him.
"What do you want?"
Li Qing helplessly replied, "There's sothing in my room, and I can't go back for now."
Seeing Li Qing calm and collected, the girl intriguingly asked, "Aren't you scared?"
The girl knew there was sothing strange next door; if it weren't for unavoidable circumstances, she wouldn't live here at all.
Li Qing smiled mysteriously, "Why do you think I bought this apartnt?"
"So, you really can catch ghosts?"
Saying the word 'ghost,' the girl enunciated lightly, without making a sound, afraid sothing might be observing their conversation.
"I can manage a bit, but I wasn't fully prepared."
Li Qing hadn't expected the she-ghost to be so fierce; had he not reacted quickly, he'd be lying inside by now.
The girl asked, "So, what do you want to do?"
"Uh, sorry for the abruptness, but could I stay for the night?"
Mainly because the location next door was ideal, Li Qing wanted an opportunity to go in and hit that thing hard again, still having several spells left unused; daring to stir up trouble in his territory, scaring him so, now cald down, he couldn't not retaliate with peace in mind.
"Ha? Uncle, in this age, you still use that trick? Once I let you in, you'll probably show your true colors!"
Seeing the girl's knowing look, Li Qing amusedly said, "Co on, it's the New Century era, and do I even look like a bad guy?"
"Tsk, a book with its cover is one thing, but who knows its pages."
Li Qing shrugged helplessly, "Alright, I'll not disturb your rest."
He wouldn't force, though the 'Switching Technique' magic made the security door more like a non-existent obstruction.
But Li Qing is a good person.
Seeing Li Qing turn to leave, the girl stopped him.
"Are your ears bleeding?"
Li Qing instinctively touched and looked, sure enough, he hadn't noticed much earlier, calming down now he realized.
"It's no big deal."
Noticing Li Qing's casual deanor, the girl hesitated, then said, "Wait."
The girl closed the door, sounds of unlatching the security chain followed, and she slowly opened the door.
She held a phone in her left hand, glanced at the screen showing an ergency call button, and her right hand hidden behind her, holding either a taser or a fruit knife, gestured slightly with her mouth.
"Co in."
Li Qing, however, didn't enter imdiately and asked, "Are you the only one at ho?"
The girl impatiently replied, "Uncle, are you checking the census to plan an attack? Coming in or not!"
Kids these days mature too early!
Sighing inwardly, Li Qing entered the girl's ho.
"You'll sleep on the sofa tonight."
"Thank you, sorry for the intrusion."
Seeing the girl bring him a quilt, Li Qing took it with a smile, "I'm Li Qing."
"I'm Li Nianwei."
Li Qing raised an eyebrow, "Did your dad na you?"
"Seems you're quite smart."
Evidently, Li Nianwei found Li Qing's silly question rather perfunctory.
It seed many people had asked about her na before.
Seeing Li Nianwei remain there, Li Qing said, "Thanks."
"Hmm, you're welco."
Seeing Li Nianwei still standing there watching him, Li Qing pointed at his own ears.
"Miss Li Nianwei, since you let in, could you give a cloth to wipe the blood?"
"Go clean in the bathroom yourself."
