The man left the building of his own free will. But she would be back, or had she even left? Li wasn't certain. He was sneaking away in the dead of the night. But his prey still lay in the building - still inside.
What was she up to? The man was free - safe. Now was the time to move. Li watched the man slink away in the shadows. It was unnerving watching her prey walk away. The game she played was foreign to Li. Dranaika wanted food - nothing more. That is what they were - monsters - creatures of instinct - nothing more... but this was not food - this was something else.
But he was free of her grasp. Li waited till the man was well out of sight before he pulled out his umbrella and opened it to the weather before releasing his own invisible shield. He might need the power later. Meditation was not with in grasp when fighting a monster such as this, so he would hold it - keep it close while he approached the so-called woman.
He knew where she was. Knew what she was. He'd find her inside, in a room and there he'd slay her. A testament to his ability, and the spoils that went with it. Not that Li cared about either - monsters disrupted the balance of things. He would rectify that imbalance with its death.
But first Li went inside to find the pretty little snake.

“What you must do," said Monkey, "is lure the monster from its hiding place, but be certain it is a fight you can survive.”
