Become A Human In Another World
ACT 5: Chapter 18 - The Strange Child in the Spirit World!
"Uhh. You really forced. And it seems, you have a lot of words for your interlocutors to follow what you want" Liu Xiu said looking tired.
It seems he has no choice. After all, Liu Xiu also had many questions about this place.
That's when he turned around. He found a boy who looked relaxed and gentle. The clothes were simple, only a few white cloths were linked together into a shirt.
From his face, he was a white cat Beast. It matches his white clothes. His height was about 140 cm, making him almost as tall as Liu Xiu, only Liu Xiu was slightly taller than him.
If viewed as a whole, everyone must have concluded he was only a child aged 12-14. Even so, Liu Xiu would not be fooled by that. He knew this man must be old. Judging from his style of speech, also how he smiled.
At the very least, he had a lifespan that was the same as Liu Xiu, it could be that he was long-lived, or the same Reincarnator as Liu Xiu. That was what Liu Xiu thought.
"See. I didn't run from you, did I?" said the young man smiling.
Liu Xiu slightly smiled bitterly, and replied to the words earlier with a smile and a slight nod.
There was a slight movement behind the young man, making Liu Xiu curious. He turned his head to the side, peeking at someone who was behind the young man.
"Gee! That kid!!" Liu Xiu slightly shouted when he saw the figure of the young girl hiding behind the young man. He was the first child to see and see him, the girl who had played around.
But as soon as Liu Xiu showed his face, the boy again hid while hugging the young man.
"Aha ha ha! You're really scared of them, aren't you? Well, with that much life energy, you'd be mistaken for a spirit hunter, so it's not wrong for him to be scared." the young man chuckled, then turned to look at the child behind him.
He patted the child's back slightly, and whispered a few words to comfort him.
Liu Xiu saw it was slightly injured, but was willing how else.
"alright. No need to beat around the bush anymore, who you are, where you are now, do you have anything to do with spirit and life energy. Then why was I called here, and how to go back. And most importantly, how old are you?" liu Xiu said quickly, seemingly annoyed?
"Is that last question necessary?!!" now the young man shouted, hearing Liu Xiu's slightly strange question!
But Liu Xiu did not reply, only staring at the young man with eyes that were getting narrower and thinner.
"Huff. Alright. My name is Yuu Chang. This is where the spirits gather, precisely the spirit world. But it seems like your body has easily entered this world, so you have obviously entered the spirit world before" said the young man, Yuu Chang slowly.
("Does that mean the Tian people are also the spirit world? Wellh, that's the only explanation.") Liu Xiu thought.
"Who am I, if you ask that. That's a little hard to answer, honestly. You could say, I am the spirit that guards this place, no. Not just this place, but this child."
"I'm older than this kid. Obviously makes me want to take care of him, doesn't it? After all, the spirit child wandering outside alone was also dangerous to them." Yuu Chang continued smiling softly.
"And why are you in this place, I'm not sure. Why did you get into this world? This world can only be entered by the dead, you know?" yuu Chang said closing his answer.
Liu Xiu was slightly stunned hearing that. He remembered that he had been reincarnated. He was obviously dead in the previous world. Was that what caused him to easily enter this world?
"It seems you already know the answer, don't you? In that case, maybe only time can get you out of here" Yuu Chang said again.
Liu Xiu fell silent, nodding. He seemed to think of something, until he finally raised his voice.
"Yuu Chang's. You still haven't answered everything. Do you have anything to do with life energy and how old you are." asked Liu Xiu, now in a softer tone.
"alright. Me and the life energy are clearly related. From the very beginning, we were formed from Spirit Energy. You could call it SP. And this SP belongs to every creature in this world, and it can be used, and it can be filled again. Or in that case, it's life energy, or maybe Chi you're talking about. "
"Since we're dead, we no longer have a body that can fill our SPs if it dies. In other words, we're just a collection of SPs" he explains.
Liu Xiu thought for a moment, recalling what happened when he freed Albert and the others.
He felt they were entering his body, and then Liu Xiu had life energy, or Spirit Energy that was overwhelming. That way he understands the mechanism now.
("In other words, SP is the human life force, and can be recharged again. Similar to where, or MP, right?") thought Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu nodded confidently, after some of his questions had been answered, one of them was what the difference between Mana and Life Energy was.
"Oh yeah. I heard you say spirit hunter, what exactly is that? And also, don't forget about your age this time!" liu Xiu replied slightly pouting.
"Ughs... I tried to keep you away from the latter topic, but you seemed very curious" Yuu Chang said.
"As you know, we're just a bunch of SPs. And you must also know, that SP is the energy that is needed by the martial arts. You may have heard that the number of SPs has been determined since birth. You must have heard that." Yuu Chang started his story.
("true too. Yuan Yi's father seemed to say something about it.")
"There are actually several ways to raise your SP limit. One is to take someone else's SP. The point is to supply SP beyond the maximum limit of a person, then the maximum limit will rise according to the SP taken. "
"Unfortunately, the ability to take SP from others has not been discovered, so that way seems to be of no use." Yuu Chang told me a sad face.
Soon, Liu Xiu understood his circumstances. He nodded while imagining what happened next. And after coming to some conclusions, Liu Xiu cut through Yuu Chang's story.
"So, they took SP from another world, which is a dead person. Those who had from the beginning shaped Spirit Energy, could not do anything when taken into the SP of others. Besides, if that happens, it's the same as the second death, is it?" liu Xiu said slightly asking if his theory was correct.
The atmosphere became heavy, as Yuu Chang's face looked dark. It seemed like Liu Xiu had already pulled the rope that he should not have pulled, making him feel a little guilty.
"And spirit hunters are people who hunt the spirits to increase their SP. I've seen many of them in the past." continued Yuu Chang again.
Silence occurred for a moment, when Liu Xiu only grimaced silently.
Whatever the reason, the spirits that met him in the Magic Forest almost all entered his body. It made Liu Xiu feel uneasy standing here, in front of Yuu Chang right now.
"By the way, I'm 769 this year, you know!! Wellh, time goes by so fast if you don't notice it!!" yuu Chang said breaking the silence.
"769 years?!! Really it?!! How could that be possible?!" liu Xiu shouted in disbelief.
"Well, a lot happened back then. I was born with a lot of magic, and somehow I managed to perfect my abilities at the age of 10. And after a few years, people started hunting me down and thinking I was lost...." Yuu Chang told a story while slightly scratching his head.
"So if I'm born, I die, and until now, I was 769. But clearly, I maintain this shape!" yuu Chang continued a little trying to convince.
Liu Xiu who heard it was a little incredulous, but was willing to how else.
After being silent for a while, he was finally able to accept that, by associating it with the spirit of the Tian kingdom, as well as the hero, Albert. They can live long easily.
