Become A Human In Another World
ACT 5: Chapter 37 - No Break.
BZZTTT DOR DOR BAM BAM BAM!!!
The voice rang throughout Li Tian, making the people who were on guard around the city, such as Yuan Yi, who was in the west, and Shelan who was in the east happy.
Naturally, Liu Xiu was also pleased, as he did not have to think of a single Devil who escaped and survived here.
But, thinking back on it made Liu Xiu horrified.
How could they summon so many Devils to this world, or even open the gate to summon him. And what makes it even scarier, one of the main ingredients used to perform rituals, is the Reinkarnator. In other words one of him.
There was a chance that she would be kidnapped, or even worse, Beta being kidnapped by them.
But always living in fear is worse than being dead or captured. At least that was what Liu Xiu was thinking now.
The sky is getting darker. Cumulonimbus clouds also move, giving an additional gripping atmosphere. Obviously, everyone knew heavy rain was going to happen.
"It's starting, huh? Hufft. I really wasn't given a break, was I? It's exhausting." Liu Xiu grumbled, gazing deeply into the thickening mass of black clouds.
BZZT!!
Thinking that Liu Xiu stood up, accompanied by lightning striking each other, signaled a storm was coming.
"Huff. I thought it would be sunny, but why come a storm like this? And also..." Liu Xiu looked around with a sharp look. There was something he was watching, but after a while, he let go.
Feeling late, Liu Xiu immediately returned to the city gate, to meet the Guild members who would have already returned to the Adventurer Guild.
Halfway through, he met Yuan Yi from the west gate. No, it seemed like he was waiting for Liu Xiu.
"Hey, Liu Xiu. Why are you hiding the fact that you're a famous Adventurer in Fuheng?" asked Yuan Yi, slightly pouting.
"Well, I didn't hide it. Know it? I always said that I was an Adventurer, and I didn't lie" Liu Xiu said slightly tilting his head.
Yuan Yi was still pouting, and began to approach Liu Xiu.
"But! You didn't say that you were "Yuan Yi couldn't finish his sentence, because Liu Xiu quickly closed his mouth.
"Huhhhh!!! The kwenapwa? H-Hwei Lwiu Xiu!!!" Yuan Yi was a little rebellious, as Liu Xiu smothered his mouth slightly.
"Hey, Yuan Yi! Relax slightly! And also, silence. No one in this place would know!" whispered Liu Xiu while slightly hiding Yuan Yi.
The surprised Yuan Yi fell silent, feeling that Liu Xiu this time was serious, not playing around or even joking.
"Yuan Yi's. I want you to not tell me about my powers now. It's critical. And also, I want you...." Liu Xiu whispered a few words, to Yuan Yi. It made Yuan Yi widen his eyes, in disbelief.
"Liu Xiu, you?!!" yuan Yi's tone rose, and looked at Liu Xiu with eyes full of anger.
Liu Xiu took a breath, and could only laugh dryly. After all looking at it, it was just a fake laugh that hid another taste in it.
"Do that, Yuan Yi. And don't trust anyone but the person I mentioned earlier. Remember, this is a special mission. That's all I can say to you" Liu Xiu said, raising his hand, running away.
Yuan Yi just kept silent, while looking at Liu Xiu's back that was getting further away. In his heart, there was a sense of anger, sadness, disappointment, even admiration mixed together forming his expression just now.
Easily, her expression was now completely dissatisfied, and painful to look at.
"Oh yeah! Tell me I can't attend the show later! I have to take care of some things with my party mates. Well, you'll meet him soon. So I have to tell you with them!!" liu Xiu shouted before leaving.
BZZTTT DAR!!!
The sound of lightning was heard echoing in the city that still looked empty, and the atmosphere of the morning was also dark as night.
In the middle of the crossroads of the city street, there was only Yuan Yi, who was crying. But the rain that fell tried to wipe away her tears. And in the rush of rain and the sound of lightning, a small groaning sound was heard.
"Why did you do that, Liu Xiu?"
The rain grew heavier, erasing the trail Liu Xiu left on the increasingly muddy streets of rainwater.
"I need to get to the inn quickly!" said slowly. Then, he remembered one of his members, Dain.
"Dain! If you're around, answer me!!" liu Xiu shouted amid the torrent of rain.
There was no answer, only the blowing wind replied Liu Xiu.
"Dain?!?" Liu Xiu paused for a moment, and looked at a silhouette of a shadow on the roof of the house. But a moment later, the silhouette moved, and jumped up, immediately descending and bowing towards Liu Xiu.
"I'm sorry I didn't answer your call immediately, Master. I thought Master would wait until he got to the inn, and meet me." replied Dain, still bowing.
Liu Xiu slightly smiled, then moved his hand, patting Dain's head slightly low from his chest.
"No, it's my fault for asking you to come right away despite the heavy rain. But, there are things I want to tell you, to you guys" Liu Xiu said, taking Dain's shoulder, making his body erect.
"Yes, Master?" dain asked slightly averted his eyes, so as not to stare at Liu Xiu's face directly.
Liu Xiu bowed slightly, in order for his height to be the same. He then advanced, towards Dain's ear, whispering some things into his ear.
Liu Xiu also slipped a few things in Dain's clothes, looking like a pile of cloth made into one. Dain looked confused, and slightly tilted his head.
"Good, Master. But if you may know, what is Master planning? Besides, why me?" ask Dain.
"First question, I'm sorry I couldn't answer. Second, it's because you must have known where each other's positions are, right? It will make the search easier." Liu Xiu replied easily.
"We're racing against time. Sorry, but this is an order. Don't refuse, and just do it. Otherwise, my plan could fail." Liu Xiu continued.
Dain looked hard to accept that, but he nodded slowly.
Liu Xiu waited for a while, if Dain was going to ask him something. But it seemed that the word "order" was enough to make Dain move without asking anything more, so Liu Xiu applauded happily.
"alright. Then go! We have to hurry!!" liu Xiu's shout prompted Dain, to leave immediately.
Dain was a little heavy to immediately run, leaving Liu Xiu behind. But after a slow peck, he immediately ran, jumped onto the roof and disappeared.
Liu Xiu paid little attention to Dain until Dian finally disappeared behind the tall house. Liu Xiu pensively, thinking of something. He looked up at the sky, letting the rain wash over his eyes.
"Is what I'm doing right?" whispered slowly.
DAR!!!
Lightning struck again, as if resuscitating Liu Xiu from his daydream. He clenched his hands, confident of his choice now.
"I have to do it!" liu Xiu shouted to himself.
He also ran through the city, even though it was raining heavily. No homes were open, except for some shops such as food stores and bars, as well as lodging that was still open.
The clinking sound of the weapon and some of Liu Xiu's light armor were heard chime with the sound of rain.
He went in several times to several stores, and bought some items, such as flour and pepper. It looked like Liu Xiu wanted to cook something, but according to the person it was a strange ingredient to cook.
BLAR!!!
Lightning struck, plus blinding lightning, making Liu Xiu close his eyes with a momentary hand. He reached a small alley to shelter.
There was a small problem in the small alley in every town, namely the bandits who liked to scuttle passers-by in that small alley. But, Liu Xiu did not think about it and just walked in.
But the one before him after he opened his eyes, was not an ordinary alley, but a person in a black robe, with a small dagger in his hand.
"Hey, what-" Liu Xiu's voice began to dissipate, engulfed in water the sound of lightning and the sound of rain being mutually earthy.
