"Hahaha, Little Ghost, you're not getting away this time!!"
Zhao Jiguang's wild laughter filled the corridor.
Even with Spirit Walk bolstering him, Xiao Ran couldn't shake Zhao Jiguang, who followed close behind without breaking a sweat.
He'd been able to keep up with Xiao Ran's Spirit Walk before. Now, with the added boost from the tiger beneath him, he was practically unstoppable.
Xiao Ran glanced back at the idiot and thought, Is his brain made of tofu or something?
They said plans never kept pace with reality. He'd been so sure his little scheme would work, but things had gone completely off script.
All he'd wanted was to lure the Night Ghosts upstairs, then take advantage of the chaos to search for Campus Badges in the dorm room that had already been smashed open.
Who could've guessed that the moment he showed his face, this meathead would lock onto him?
He didn't owe Zhao Jiguang money, and he hadn't slept with his wife. So why was the guy so fixated on him?
Xiao Ran wiped his Mourning Ring a few times, trying to activate it and summon Red Skeleton. If Red Skeleton appeared, at least that would prove Xiao Ran was the one who'd saved Zhao Jiguang's life that night.
But when Xiao Ran tried to use the Corpse Stitcher curse mark to connect with the Mourning Ring, it refused to activate.
"Ding! The Mourning Ring cannot be activated. The ring spirit is resisting your power and refuses to be activated by the curse mark."
"Traitor!"
Xiao Ran cursed inwardly and took the ring off, tossing it straight into his storage space.
It wasn't entirely Red Skeleton's fault for refusing Xiao Ran. When he'd been with Xue Hongling, she'd supplied him every day.
Three meals a day, every one different.
