Become A Protagonist 2's
Chapters. 05 - Mysterious Youth

”You who?” xiao Qing Xuan asked who began to look at him seriously.

The young man smiled a grin and said, ”... Does it matter? Are you going to say that what I'm saying is the truth then, you're going to kill me to keep your identity hidden?”

Xiao Qing Xuan was speechless and did not distract him from the young man. For now he must live. Whatever the reason and even though he is destined to be a criminal, he will strive to become someone better so that no bloodshed takes place around him.

”Do you want to know about the seven Earth Emperor incarnations? We who are able to see the darkest side of someone will very easily be the target of all criminals. Usually, their plain eyeballs are always emerald green whereas, someone who has been affected by his own dark magic, the color will turn orange. You don't need to be careful on the innocent Earth Emperor Incarnation. And supposedly, you're more careful with those with orange eyes. His abilities exceeded that of ordinary people even they all looked more like monsters than humans.”

Upon hearing this explanation, Xiao Qing Xuan became extremely shocked. He did not expect this stranger to tell him many things even though he knew that Xiao Qing Xuan was the Incarnation of the Black Devil. Supposedly, this was an opportunity for him to immediately kill him while he was injured. But this guy even asked her to talk.

”You belong to the incarnation of the Earth Emperor. Why not kill me now? Isn't it your job to balance nature and make the world calm again?” asked Xiao Qing Xuan who was staring warily towards the man in front of her.

”You always thought the whole world was your enemy. If it continues like that, you may never have a partner or a friend. Is it because of the words of your Master who said that your identity as an incarnation of the Black Devil should not be known by anyone so you feel you should stay away from everyone?” asked the young man who managed to make Xiao Qing Xuan's gaze fixated on him.

”You are this, come as a friend or as an opponent?” xiao Qing Xuan asked cautiously.

The young man smiled faintly and replied, ”I came as a friend. It just so happened that I was a stray traveler and then I found this house. I thought, no one wants to occupy a dirty house like this but, it turns out that there is someone who is asleep inside.”

”He looks very happy even though he is lost. 'Missed' what does he mean? Could his mind be lost? Maybe he was a murderer seeking refuge? If the citizens knew, I would also be beaten with him?!” inner Xiao Qing Xuan thought about it.

”Look, I'm not a killer. My mind is not at all perverted.” said the young man who heard Xiao Qing Xuan's entire words in his mind.

”Eh? So, can you read other people's minds?” xiao Qing Xuan asked who was back on guard so that he should take cover behind a support pole.

The young man laughed and said, ”... I can even hear your heart beating. Didn't I tell you that I can hear the power of others?”

”Why frankly say it?! You're gonna make me feel uncomfortable!” chirped Xiao Qing Xuan with a slight shout at him.

”What can I do right now? My ability cannot be stopped unless I die.” replied the young man with a face that looked happy.

Xiao Qing Xuan was silent for a while before she asked back, ”... Then, what's your name and where are you from?”

A while later, the young man replied, ”My name, Yin Zhen. I come from a dark room filled with pools of blood.”

”Hah? A dark room filled with blood? Does he want to say that he came from a mother's womb? That means, he thinks I'm stupid?!” inner Xiao Qing Xuan who was looking at him suspiciously.

”You don't understand what I meant by the room?” said Yin Zhen who heard the entire words of Xiao Qing Xuan in his mind.

”You how else? I can't hide anything from you now. It seems, you have very high telepathic abilities.” chirped Xiao Qing Xuan who was trying to ignore her with her terrifying Yin Zhen ability.

Yin Zhen smiled faintly. ”... We have known each other and talked since. I have no place to return because of that, can I follow you to your house?”

”Didn't you just have to say that you came with a guest?” yin Zhen said.

”It won't be easy. Maybe some people will definitely be suspicious.” Xiao Qing Xuan muttered while distracting her.

”Just calm down, I won't spread your true identity. After all, no one will believe my words.” said Yin Zhen.

Xiao Qing Xuan seemed hesitant to accept his existence. He still did not understand why Yin Zhen was covering his eyes with a black cloth. He began to suspect that Yin Zhen was actually harboring a secret that everyone including himself should not know.

”By the way, those two eyes, can I see them?” xiao Qing Xuan asked which made Yin Zhen stunned.

”You can't see it.” short Yin Zhen.

”Why?”

”Because I was blind from birth.”

Xiao Qing Xuan was shocked. He was silent for a while and said back, ”... Sorry to ask.”

Yin Zhen smiled and said, ”No problem. Instead, I'll hug you.”

Xiao Qing Xuan looked surprised after hearing that. Not long before he could speak, Yin Zhen immediately embraced him like someone who had lost his brother for so many years. He thought that Yin Zhen would stab him from behind but, it seemed, Yin Zhen did not want to declare war on him. Therefore, Yin Zhen regarded Xiao Qing Xuan as someone whom he had longed for.

At the same time, Liu Zhang Chen suddenly felt a bad feeling after he was far away from where he was before. He turned his head back and tried to decipher the situation that was currently happening to Xiao Qing Xuan there.

”What dark feeling is this? It was getting colder like on an ice island. Eve the strength belonging to this person is very extraordinary plus again, he was together with Xiao Qing Xuan.” muttered Liu Zhang Chen who thought about it. ”... A monster? Was he the incarnation of the Earth Emperor who had been consumed by dark magic? I should get to him!”

Liu Zhang Chen immediately walked quickly in the same direction. However, just as he was in such a hurry, suddenly a group of wolves appeared and blocked his path. As well as the hundreds of poisonous snakes that emerged from the top of the trees, Liu Zhang Chen's footsteps were again hampered.

”Zhi Shuang! What are you planning?!” said Liu Zhang Chen with a face that looked extremely angry.

Zhi Shuang finally emerged from the top of the tree branch. With a cold-looking face, there were some differences going on there. Zhi Shuang's eyeballs, have turned orange!

”I didn't expect to see you again, Zhang Chen.” said Zhi Shuang who didn't look like he always did.

”You're trying to get in my way?” ask Liu Zhang Chen.

Zhi Shuang looked at him with a cold expression and said to the beasts around him. ”Do not let someone disturb you Sir. Clean him.”
