Gao Peng carried his red backpack and took out the key card. "Ding."
The old metal door creaked as it was pushed open. He stepped into the staircase. The staircase was old, and the floor was littered with trash. Fortunately, there was no strange smell.
Gao Peng's shadow was reflected under the dim yellow light. Gao Peng lowered his head and glanced at the floor. A ferocious, pitch-black shadow was stretching on the floor.
Gao Peng frowned and raised his head. He saw a giant spider the size of a millstone beside the lamp. Its scarlet eyes flashed continuously, and its grayish-white spider webs covered the ceiling of the staircase.
Gao Peng sighed. "Granny Chen's little spider has sneaked out again. This seems to be the seventh time this month."
Gao Peng, who was already used to it, ignored it and walked straight up the stairs …
All that was left was the sound of the spider crawling on the ceiling. Gao Peng stopped in his tracks, as if he had thought of something. He hesitantly turned his head and looked at the grayish-white giant spider crawling back and forth on the ceiling of the staircase.
"This … this looks like a Striped Gray Plate Spider, right? I remember the teacher said … this thing seems to be quite gentle? "
Blinking his eyes, Gao Peng hesitated for a moment. He took off his backpack and took out a piece of white paper. He casually crumpled it into a ball and took out a lighter from his pocket.
Gao Peng pursed his lips and hesitated. After all, no matter how gentle the Striped Gray Plate Spider was, it was still Granny Chen's pet upstairs … No! That was not the main point!
No matter how gentle it was, it was still a normal-level monster! Before the mutation of Earth Star, this was a top-level predator that could fight with lions and tigers!
If he angered this monster, he would be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered in this enclosed staircase. There was no way he could escape.
Sighing, Gao Peng shook his head and continued up the stairs.
Suddenly, the lighter in his hand lit up the ball of paper. He threw it at the ceiling behind him at lightning speed. Then, he took off running.
"I remember Teacher Zhang saying that this thing has a gentle personality."
"Creak!" Suddenly, a sharp and irritable screech came from behind. Gao Peng ran up the stairs and glanced back the moment he turned around.
The Striped Gray Plate Spider fell to the bottom of the stairs with a plop. Its eight claws frantically scurried in all directions, and it climbed up another wall. In the opposite direction of where the Striped Gray Plate Spider had crawled, a ball of paper that was gradually extinguishing had fallen to the ground.
Gao Peng's eyes lit up, and his heart thumped. This Striped Gray Plate Spider was really afraid of fire!
F * ck! The things that appeared in his head were not illusions!
At this moment, Gao Peng felt like he was a man running like the wind, sprinting all the way up the stairs. Behind him, the Striped Gray Plate Spider's shrill screeching could be heard.
"Ai, Teacher Zhang lied to me. Who said that this thing is docile!"
At this moment, Gao Peng's mind was spinning rapidly, but he did not dare to stop in the slightest. This kind of enraged monster was no joke. If it caught up to him, he would end up with his head broken and his intestines flowing out.
After all, this was a monster from another dimension! During the initial period of Earth Star's mutation, the hands of these monsters were stained with the lives of countless humans. No matter how gentle they were, they could not change the fact that they were monsters.
The screeching behind him was getting closer and closer. Gao Peng could even clearly hear the slight bumping sounds made by the Striped Gray Plate Spider as it leaped forward on the stairs, like pieces of steel pipes hitting the ground.
One more floor, and he would reach home!
Close!
The Striped Gray Plate Spider's eyes were blood-red, and its ferocious mouth opened and closed. Its strong and powerful spider claws were like springs, bending downwards and then abruptly springing upwards! With each leap, it could jump up four to five steps.
The distance was getting closer and closer …
"Hiss!"
A domineering and deep voice filled with anger penetrated the thick walls and spread throughout the entire flight of stairs. The voice was low and dignified.
The Striped Gray Plate Spider's bent claws instantly stiffened, and it froze on the spot. Its blood-red eyes flickered continuously, and a series of low cries came from its mouth.
But the monster that had made the sound before did not make another sound.
After a moment of hesitation, the Striped Gray Plate Spider's red eyes continued to flicker, and it hesitantly raised its claws.
"Hiss!" As if provoked, the sound was even more furious than before!
"Squeak squeak squeak …" The Striped Gray Plate Spider immediately retracted its claws, and hopped down the stairs.
Letting out a sigh, Gao Peng wiped the sweat from his forehead. Why did this spider run down the stairs?
Could it be that it was preparing to play a game of chase with him, and when it saw that he was about to reach home, it happily went back?
Gao Peng rubbed his chin. Hmm … Even he did not believe this kind of nonsense.
He took out the key from his pocket and opened the door. "Dad, Mom, I'm home." Gao Peng's face revealed a bright smile.
Pushing open the door, the house was empty. It was so quiet that it was as if this was Gao Peng's own world.
A grayish-brown sofa was placed in the living room. Opposite the sofa was a rather old television.
The house was very clean. There was very little furniture in the house, but it was obvious that the owner of the house was very attentive and cleaned it frequently.
Gao Peng walked into the bedroom. The curtains were tightly shut, and the blazing sunlight was blocked by the thick curtains, making the room appear somewhat dim.
The bed in the bedroom was neatly made. Gao Peng's face was full of smiles as he said happily, "Dad, Mom, I finally got first place in class for the class exam. You must be very happy."
Gao Peng said to a black and white photo frame.
The photo was of a couple. The man was gentle and refined, while the woman was dignified and virtuous. The couple was smiling happily. Through the thin layer of paper, it was as if people from two different worlds could look at each other directly.
The couple in the photo did not reply to Gao Peng. Their faces were still full of faint smiles.
Gao Peng forced a proud smile on his face. "My grades have always been very bad. You always criticized me because of my grades. Now that I've finally gotten first place in class and fourth place in the cohort, you must be very happy, right? You don't have to worry about my studies anymore. "At this point, Gao Peng's eyes turned slightly red.
The thinly clothed teenager stood quietly in the bedroom. The quiet room was filled with the teenager's wandering thoughts. Only when the sky outside the window turned dark did the teenager wake up. He smiled apologetically at the couple in the photo. "Dad, Mom, the school will organize a trip for us tomorrow. I might not be back for a few days. You don't have to worry about my safety. The school has also hired professional bodyguards to protect us. I'll be careful too! "
"I heard that the school hired bodyguards from the Blue Shield Protection Company this time."
"I heard that there are many combat monster trainers in the Blue Shield Protection Company. It would be great if I could become a combat monster trainer."
"At least half of the students in our class want to become monster trainers!"
In a dim room, a thin and weak youth was talking to himself in front of a picture frame. His hands were constantly gesturing, and he was in high spirits. His eyes were shining with bright colors, which contained the longing for the future and the desire to become stronger.
But no one answered him. At this moment, the teenager wished that someone could give him a thumbs up and say something encouraging. Even if the person in the photo could stand up and oppose his dream, it would be a wonderful thing.
But no. The couple in the photo was snuggled up together, smiling warmly.
The room was quiet. Only the teenager's own breathing could be heard.
The teenager suddenly felt cold. He hugged his arms and looked lonely. But soon, the sunshine and confidence on his face washed away the loneliness, and he became the optimistic teenager again.
After leaving the bedroom, Gao Peng carefully closed the door, afraid to disturb the couple in the photo.
