Become A Human In Another World
ACT 4: Chapter 28 - Confused
Currently, Alpha was inside the room, along with the six others who had just woken up. And apparently, they all know Alpha. How not? They've been together for a few years, it's kind of weird if they don't know each other.
"Hey, you. How you feeling? Are you better?" alpha asked the white-haired Beast, while helping him stand up.
"I'm fine. What about the others?" answer the Beast.
"It's not weird."
"Yes. I can no longer float, but I can touch things! It feels really awesome!"
"It looks like we managed to escape? It must be thanks to you, Elf!!"
"really? You are amazing, Elf! It can get out of that bond and even save us!!"
There was some noise in the room. It was strange to hear them talking to each other without naming each other. But it seemed like they had gotten used to it, evident how the conversation could go.
Meanwhile, Alpha who heard him was a little misbehaved, because he didn't feel like he was doing anything.
"But wait. Do your memories already exist? Humm, I mean, do you know who saved you?" ask Alpha.
Everyone looked at it, except the Beast just stared indifferently at the entire room.
"Didn't you do it?" priest asked as he tried to get off the bed.
Hearing that, Alpha sighed. He was convinced that they did need to synchronize with Liu Xiu in order to remember what happened. And that Beast, just shut up while waiting for Alpha to say something.
"Not me, but let's eat. At least you guys must be hungry. Fear not, they are not evil, perhaps" said Alpha inviting those hesitant to depart.
They walked slowly, helping each other out because some even seemed to have forgotten how to walk.
"Are you okay? What's on your mind?" tanya Alpha saw the white-haired Beast still sitting on his bed. His face looked grim, like he was thinking about a lot of things.
But he shook his head, and immediately stood up.
"No. Nothing." he replied before waltzing away, while Alpha watched his back with a worried look.
He is a Reinkarnator, so he has different abilities and powers than the others. He still vividly remembered what happened, even to the point where Liu Xiu performed a ritual to save them.
But, he has been difficult to believe in others, because he has already experienced difficult things in his life.
"Curtain! What the fuck is that!! Is he pretending to be good? With such a great strength, it is impossible for him to lend us his strength just like that. Even the seven of us could be defeated" said the Beast still continuing to walk alone.
"He must have had his own intentions. He will show his fangs soon when asked later. I know it. Experience taught me that." he said again.
"I'm not gonna let that happen. The moment it happened.." his hands clenched tightly, with an unhappy face.
"I'll kill him!!!"

"Sir, what's going on?" ask Alpha.
"Eitherway. It seems like I made him angry." Liu Xiu said softly as he scratched his head which was not actually itchy.
The other six just stared at each other, seemingly asking in their hearts.
Right now, Liu Xiu felt like escaping from that dining room, as his entire eyes looked at him with questioning gazes. But only one remained focused on his food, it was the Beast there.
("What a strong killing appetite. Besides, he was always on the lookout for the smallest moves I made. Does he think I'm gonna do something?" ) asked Liu Xiu in his heart.
"Alright, Xi. You're winning. I will do anything, so don't be angry anymore" Liu Xiu said as he put both hands together, pleading.
"really?" Xi seemed to be persuaded and started to look over.
"Yes! But I'll look at the situation and weigh in on what request you made. I'll try to obey him!" liu Xiu said.
Finally, Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief hearing that. And as the meal continued, Liu Xiu seemed to want to say something, but Liu Xiu held back and did not say it, afraid of ruining the eating atmosphere.
And as a result, the lunch became silent, with no one talking between them all.
***
After eating, Xi gave Liu Xiu a code to follow her. It was because Xi had some things he wanted to ask.
"Are you leaving soon?" xi asked Liu Xiu.
"Maybe. I'll just hear their decision. There's a good chance they'll follow me, anyway. If that happens, I'll leave tomorrow. I don't want to continue to burden you Liu Xiu said.
"Because of that, I want this to end soon. How else, I am an Adventurer, and I also aspire to travel the world." he continued.
Indeed, it had been more than a week, even nearly two weeks of Liu Xiu in this village. It was impressed like a long time ago.
"That's so... Don't you want to stay here?" ask Xi.
"That's an interesting offer, but sorry, I can't seem to do it. It's really not about anything. I have nothing to do here." Liu Xiu replied looking up at the sky.
Xi was speechless, and a little glazed over, but she held it in with a smile on her face.
"Hummmmd. Well then, whatever they all say, you have to accept it. Don't deny it!!" xi said while giving her pinky, making a pinky promise.
Liu Xiu only grimaced following her.

Back then, it was already afternoon, but Liu Xiu would immediately resonate his magic with the magic of those six people. The process was also witnessed by Alpha and Xi, who could not stop being amazed at the beauty of his process.
And after that was all done, and some of their memories returned, they looked at Liu Xiu in awe, except for the white-haired Beast.
Liu Xiu also explained, that he wanted them to find their own way, and not have to be Liu Xiu's servants. Liu Xiu also explained that they do not have names, and depending on some things they must have names.
Liu Xiu also explained that all of the magic energy, and their abilities had already returned to how they were. There should be no one to fear the song for walking in the outside world
In addition, Liu Xiu said why their eyes were black, and there were some blackened hair as well. If anyone is nervous about it.
"I'm clear once again. That is your current condition." Liu Xiu said.
They were all staring, with faces that seemed enthusiastic. But those songs again stared at the Beast's face, and the Beast simply looked away. It was getting dark, and it was almost time for dinner. It was a long discussion.
"You don't have to answer today" Liu Xiu said leaving them all behind.
?!!
Liu Xiu smiled, looking at something there.
After that all happened, they did dinner before finally going out to do their own business. That dinner felt awkward, and there were only a few conversations between Liu Xiu and Xi.
The others just ate while still, looking worried.
After eating, Liu Xiu originally intended to train before going to bed. But he had already promised someone who invited him to meet.
So, he walked up to an altar, which was quite wide on a branch. Under the beautiful night sky, the figure was waiting. His white hair that was mixed in black fluttered, played with the wind.
"Welcome, Liu Xiu. It's good you understand what I mean" said the man.
Liu Xiu smiled, looking at the white-haired Beast who was now standing before him, looking like he wanted to say something.
("All right. What's he gonna do?") liu Xiu asked inwardly with a hint of excitement.
