Become A Human In Another World
ACT 5: Chapter 40 - The Secret Plan
Now, Alpha, Beta, Dain, and Yuan Yi together, entered the inn that Liu Xiu had already booked. Since they were completely drenched, the receptionist of the inn gave them some towels to dry themselves.
But, the receptionist seemed to have his own problems, and looked at the four of them with troubled wajha.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" ask Alpha who's a little distracted by that.
"Ahh, no. Please don't be noisy. Your friend suddenly ran, and jumped through the stairs. So please do not be too noisy, because it will disturb other customers. Otherwise, we will have to ask you all out" said the receptionist with a worried face.
Soon, all but Yuan Yi knew, who was meant.
It must have been Fischia, who immediately ran over when he realized that Liu Xiu was in danger. Just like Beta, the Beasts actually had a high sense of loyalty to friends and relatives. That's why they're the first to jump if the others are in danger.
But knowing that, Alpha, Beta, and Dain smiled.
"He's a bit insensitive in some ways, but in this kind of thing, he's really serious, isn't he?" rich Dain, while slightly scratching his cheeks with his index finger.
"I don't want to hear that from your mouth, Dain!" suhut Beta protest.
Beta recalled how Dain who was usually passive on several occasions, now really worked hard when needed.
The four of them slightly laughed hearing that, and proceeded to head upstairs, where Liu Xiu reserved a place.
Czech....
The door opened, and immediately a rumbling sound rang out. It seemed like the people inside immediately ran over, and headed towards the door, immediately welcoming Alpha and the others.
"Hey hey brother Alp-" the first to speak was Fischia, who was immediately cut by Dain.
"We know. It's good not to stall any longer" said Dain, covering Fischia's mouth with one finger. Fischia who initially looked sad, now understood and nodded confidently.
"Otherwise, is this because you're panicking? You guys don't even notice this many footsteps outside? You must be more careful!" add Beta.
They were all curled up sadly, but no one answered.
Spontaneous, they take each other's place. Some were sitting on some chairs, such as Alpha, Beta, Yuan Yi and Eina, and some were sitting on mattresses such as Celica, Fischia, and Ghea. Meanwhile, Dain stood in the corner, just silent.
No one dared to start, because they all actually do not know what. Seeing that, Dain only took a breath, then walked to the middle of the middle.
"This. I got this letter earlier, while I was guarding the Master at the north gate, the Master suddenly ran after the sign that the Devil had been defeated sounded. Honestly, I feel the presence of many people, but I don't think about it because it's a city." Dain begins his explanation.
"When Master ran, he met this woman, Li Yuan Yi. It seems like Master gave him some special briefing, so maybe you're next, Yuan Yi" said Dain, pointing at Yuan Yi.
Yuan Yi was a little surprised, but after a while, she took a breath and calmed down.
"Yes. Before that, why did you all call Liu Xiu by the name of "Master"? Aren't you Liu Xiu's party mates in Fuheng?" yuan Yi asked beginning his explanation.
No one answered that, instead all just looked at Yuan Yi with serious gazes.
"Ahh, okay. That's not important. Alright. I met Liu Xiu on the street, and he told me a few things." Yuan Yi slightly ignored the first question, and turned serious.
"First, take whoever has white hair, gather them if you see them. After that, change the color of their hair any way. Well, I'm looking for white-haired people around here, but I didn't find one." Yuan Yi explained.
It made Beta a little surprised, and felt her hair.
"I thought it was important, but up to everyone? What's with that white hair?" ask Alpha slowly, confused.
No one could answer that question, all just silence. Because in truth, only Liu Xiu knew that the material to perform the Demon world gate opening ritual was to use a white-haired person, who was none other than a Reinkarnator.
"And on the street, I met a white-haired man, being pulled by the other two. I originally wanted to attack, but after seeing the woman that Liu Xiu characterized, I held back." Yuan Yi continued.
Meanwhile, the other seven immediately understood, what he meant.
"Miss Yuan Yi. Is there a Church in this Li Tian city? No. gabe. I should have known that it was all over the city. I completely forgot that." said Alpha smiling bitterly.
The others were also bowed, with annoyed faces. They thought, that they were off guard, making no one realize this incident would happen.
"Yes, it is true that there is a large God's Word Religion Church in the North, there are also many who become their followers in this city. Sometimes they are a bit annoying, but we can still handle it. What's up?" asked Yuan Yi curiously.
Everyone was silent, obviously not going to say anything. After all, Liu Xiu forbade them to discuss this with anyone.
Yuan Yi looked at the people there one by one, trying to get an answer. But still, each of them lowered their head, avoiding the look in his eyes.
"Well, I'm not going to scrape that again if you don't want to talk about it. More importantly, what about next?" yin Yi again.
"hum. You are right, Miss Yuan Yi. We will try to work together on this" Alpha replied.
"Alright fine! We'll go on to the next clue. He said, look for a place with flour. From there there will be the smell of pepper, just follow where it goes. Uwahh, pepper? I heard it won't go away for a few days" Yuan Yi said as she read the letter.
The others were slightly surprised, and looked at Beta with a face of pity. Meanwhile, Beta who was glimpsed just smiled bitterly at his reply.
It was an incident when Liu Xiu and the other seven people were still on a journey together.
Just then, Liu Xiu cooked some cut meat, and was given pepper. It was like the steak he had eaten in his life, and everyone ate it.
Unexpectedly, Beta and Fischia could not eat it. That was because the smell of pepper was very strong, different from in his world. Let alone his physique as a Beast, can smell some if fold better than other races.
Beta and Fischia sneeze almost all day. Therefore, they were now careful not to approach the pepper.
"Who would have thought pepper would be so hot like that? I'm sure it's not for cooking!!" I shouted Beta in denial.
"Well, that's right. Peppercorns were originally used for explosives, but there was a cook who casually added very little pepper for a warm flavor enhancer. It was unexpected that many liked him." Yuan Yi said.
"Heh?! Really?!" the others were just fixated, silent while looking at each other.
"really. It was a lot made in Li Tian back then, but now, we are keeping an eye on his purchase, so there will be no one who can abuse it like before." Yuan Yi replied in a pleased tone.
("I don't think the pepper in this world is really terrible.... Really, I'm thankful I don't like it!!") beta cried out in the heart.
"But, it gives a hint that the Master used pepper to leave a mark, doesn't it? Well then, does Master want to guide us somewhere?" tanya Fischia arrived.
There was a moment of silence, as everyone looked at Fischia with shocked faces.
"You're right, Fischia! That means Master has something to show us!!" answer Ghea quickly.
"Hummmmd. That could be. If it was Liu Xiu, he would probably do such a dangerous thing, and sacrifice himself for something. But what it is for, I don't know." said Yuan Yi, nodding confidently.
Everyone was silent, looking hard. But after all, none of them had found a bright spot as to why Liu Xiu had done that.
"Well, we're running out of leads, so it's good to do what we have first. Beta, Fischia, and Miss Yuan Yi. We asked for his help, yes." said Alpha mediating, while slightly bowing his head.
They were Beasts that were within this group, so their smell was clearly reliable.
Beta, Fischia, and Yuan Yi looked at each other, and smiled.
"Send it to us!" answer them.
