Indoor Brawl

Bang! The whole door flew straight in and smashed right into the howling Vought speaker in the room. The deafening music, chirping and wailing with no telling what it was singing, stopped dead. The people in the room seemed not yet recovered from the psychedelic high, each still wildly excited—one hand pointing at the sky, the other inhaling enhancement drugs, eyes glazed as they writhed. As Qi Li stepped in, he saw this bizarre scene of pandemonium. Avery, closest to him, clearly still hadn’t figured out what was happening. He shook his head and wobbled over, slinging an arm around Qi Li’s shoulder in a loose, enthusiastic way: “Brother, top-quality stuff, want some?” Qi Li glanced at the hairy hand on his shoulder. By the time he looked up, a pill bottle was already held before his eyes. Avery didn’t care whether he objected or not, and was about to dump all the pills from the bottle into his mouth at once. Qi Li reached out to stop it, pinching the bottle with his fingers. There was a sharp crack, and the bottle, along with the pills inside, instantly turned to powder, a shower of fine dust sifting through his fingers. Avery froze at the sight, then seemed to react, his voice suddenly shooting up: “Fuck! What are you—” He hadn’t finished speaking. Qi Li threw a punch. Bang! Avery’s eyes rolled up, and before he could utter a sound, he flew backward ten meters and slammed heavily into the wall behind him. In an instant, the wall tore apart like a spiderweb. Under the cracked wall surface, thick steel plates inside were revealed. “Idiot, I happen to hold the title of anti-drug ambassador,” Qi Li said flatly. Such a commotion finally roused the others present. “What the fuck happened?” “Avery!!” “Who are you? What’s happening here…” Andre was among this group. Compared to ordinary people, superhumans had a naturally much stronger resistance to enhancement drugs, but he had inhaled a large amount just now. When he finally came to and rubbed his eyes hard, he clearly saw his roommate stuck on the wall, unable to come down for the moment. The others weren’t idle. Once they saw the instigator clearly, these superhumans had no intention of making peace. Thus, amid a string of passionate slang curses, the dorm exploded into chaos. “Motherfucker! Lick my tongue!” Simon, already naked from the heat, shouted loudly. The next second, a long tongue stretched out from his mouth, but unlike the affectionate kisses with his girlfriend before, this time it shot toward Qi Li’s shoulder like a high-pressure water gun. Clang! As if hitting a city wall. Qi Li didn’t move an inch. Simon’s tongue was instead left painful and numb, and his whole body trembled. Qi Li glanced at the spit on his shoulder. “Fucking disgusting.” He grabbed the tongue before him, quickly tied a dead knot in it, then gave a hard yank, dragging Simon over like a dead dog. “Mmm mmm—” Simon looked panicked but couldn’t speak. “Darling!” Simon’s girlfriend Phoebe, seeing this, was heartbroken and immediately aimed both hands at Qi Li; amid crackling sounds, two one-meter-long electric arcs surged out and slashed at Qi Li. Qi Li calmly tossed Simon aside. Whoosh! Simon instantly flew like a cannonball toward his girlfriend. Even though the two electric arcs hit Simon precisely mid-flight, making his eyes roll back violently, his body didn’t stop, and with undiminished force he slammed headfirst into Phoebe. “Oh my—” Phoebe hadn’t finished her last sentence. Her vision went dark, and she and Simon both fell to the ground; then her eyes rolled back and she fainted. Clatter. After the fight, dust rained down from the ceiling. Andre was now fully awake and hurriedly tried to mediate: “Hey! Wait, everyone, stop fighting! Calm down! Calm down!” By now, who was listening? Qi Li did glance at Andre. At that moment, an earth-shaking roar rang out. He turned and saw the guy named Hank crouch down, his hands and feet with bared fangs digging into the ground, charging like a beast, leaving afterimages. Everything in his path was smashed to pieces, and deep claw marks were left on the floor. Just as he was about to crash headfirst into Qi Li, Qi Li suddenly vanished. Hank quickly stopped his charge, looking around blankly. “Hey.” A greeting suddenly sounded above his head. Hank instinctively looked up and saw Qi Li floating in midair, winking at him. Hank’s pupils shrank: “F—” Boom!!! Qi Li descended from the sky. Instantly, Hank disappeared from where he stood. Before he could resist, he was pressed dead into the floor, amid a series of grating metallic sounds, as the steel plates of the interlayer likewise buckled downward under the weight. The entire floor shook three times. If it were an ordinary person, they’d be stone dead by now, but Hank still had the strength to howl in agony. Qi Li was about to get up. Suddenly, a pair of thick hands reached out from behind him. Apart from Andre, the only one still standing was Marcus. His eyes were red, full of brutality and killing intent, as he put his palms together and pressed them hard against Qi Li’s neck. “Hahaha!! Die! Die! Die…” Amid his uncontrolled laughter, his palms were like red-hot branding irons, with white smoke hissing as they tried to melt Qi Li’s neck. “No no no! Marcus, don’t!” Seeing this, Andre jumped up in fright. He hastily waved his hand, and all metal objects in the room flew over, trying to stop Marcus from killing. But before any of that happened, Qi Li’s elbow had already struck Marcus heavily in the lower abdomen. The latter’s face showed pain, and he bent over retching. Qi Li’s gaze turned cold; he grabbed Marcus’s hair with a backhand, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and gave an over-the-shoulder throw, slamming him hard to the ground. Bang!! At this point, not a single intact spot remained on the dorm floor. If not for the thick steel plates blocking, they would have punched through the floor long ago. Qi Li moved his neck. Both sides of his originally fair neck were now bright red, with some places even showing burn marks. But soon, under the effect of his self-healing ability, the bright red areas gradually turned fair again, and before long they were restored. Marcus’s ferocity wasn’t diminished; he struggled to get up. Qi Li stepped hard on his chest, immobilizing him, then stepped on his right hand that was just reaching out, grinding it underfoot. “Ah!!!” Marcus’s right hand was completely crushed, and snot and tears poured out as he howled in pain. That wasn’t enough. Qi Li squatted down and grabbed Marcus’s other hand. Without giving him a chance to react, he pressed it hard directly toward his face.
