HIDDEN EVIL [XIAO SHUXIANG THE SERIES]
449 - Sunscreen (3) - [Arc 3 - END Exile]

Xiao Shuxiang's expression did not change, the figure before him was indeed Mo Huai and he knew very well the true identity of this person.

Xiao Shuxiang opened his voice, "I must call you what is it right now...? Mo Huai's? Or the... Qian Kun?"

"................." the young man before Xiao Shuxiang reached out and touched his own face. A red fox mask was created and the color of the young man's clothes turned as black as night.

He covered his head with a hood from his black robe and opened his voice, "I think you'll be more comfortable talking when I'm like this."

"Ah... Right," Xiao Shuxiang said. "Seeing the face of the person I knew to be on the opposite street from me was nauseating. I don't think you can hide... Even to this extent."

"You called me here... I thought this would never happen,"

The voice of the figure before Xiao Shuxiang changed. That young man was indeed Mo Huai, but somehow he had another identity and it was not a careless figure, but rather Qian Kun.

To Xiao Shuxiang, the name 'Qian Kun' was already like a nightmare to him. He was angry, but if reckless to fight with him-then not only the Middle Sun Empire would be affected. To be honest, he did not have the image of winning when facing this person.

Xiao Shuxiang closed his eyes for a moment before the fist on his hand loosened. He also breathed slowly and said, "If only the current me was the moment before ascending to the Upper Cultivation Realm... So right now my reckless act is to attack you without speaking."

Xiao Shuxiang took a breath, his eyes down as he said softly. "It's not to blame..."

Xiao Shuxiang said, "I don't blame you for what happened. In the end... I was the one who offered to do all this. I'm the one who volunteered to come to the Human World and destroy everything,"

".............. Is correct. But in the end you refused and protected everything."

"Because that's not true..!" Xiao Shuxiang said, "Destroying the Human World in order to master it for your residences is not justified. You have your own home and this world is not yours. Realize it,"

Xiao Shuxiang held tightness in his chest and again said, "If from the beginning this world was indeed meant for you... Then you can't live in a place like hell."

Xiao Shuxiang, "I previously refused to accept this... But now I am sure for sure. The reason why I can't feel your presence that turns out to be so close to me is that you... I don't hate humans at all."

!

The masked figure looked at Xiao Shuxiang. The thumb on his right hand appears to be gently touching a small bandage wrapped around his index finger. The bandage hid a small bite mark.

"really. But not completely .." the fox-masked figure opened his voice. He said, "I don't feel anything... Whether it's hate or something. The only thing I know is I have to keep an eye on you,"

"You've watched enough so far. Are you still not stopping?"

"Xiao Shuxiang," the voice of the masked figure turned solemn. He said, "You obviously know the time where I'm going to stop this. That's... Depends on your actions."

The figure with the red fox mask took a step closer and said, "You've been protecting, protecting, and continuing to protect everyone all along... But you shouldn't forget that you weren't born a hero."

!!

"Xiao Shuxiang's... Your efforts are in vain. You're... Born as a disaster." the masked figure stopped right in front of Xiao Shuxiang and said, "Even if I don't act at all... The time when you destroy everything you protect with your own hands will come."

"39 Years old..," the masked figure shook his head slowly and snorted, "Hmph. I don't think it's that long anymore. Now your choice to protect the people you consider valuable is only two. You died with your own hands... Or in someone else's hands."

"..............." Xiao Shuxiang clenched his hands. He stared intently at this figure and said, "I'll make the third choice."

The black-robed figure frowned behind his fox mask. Although his facial expression was nowhere to be seen, he looked at Xiao Shuxiang as if he was waiting for the next speech of this young man.

Xiao Shuxiang said, "I will never be a disaster even if you say that this is a fate determined for me. I will protect this world in my own way and the first step I take... Is by making amends."

"...............?"

Xiao Shuxiang was breathing slowly, his fist loosened and his eyes dropped as he said. "I never hated you and the creatures that were in that place. Anyhow... You have sacrificed many things to take me... To this world."

Xiao Shuxiang stared at the figure in front of him with a gaze that was completely unexpected. The water even went down her cheek as she mentioned a name.

"Dad..."

!!!

It was like a great shock, even the body of the figure who had previously said that he felt nothing now seemed to tremble. Both of his hands were clenched firmly and behind his fox mask... The color of the red eyes is very sharp.

"Xiao Shuxiang's...!"

"Go back," Xiao Shuxiang's voice softly said, "This is the last chance I've given you. It's a bad place, but it's still your home."

Xiao Shuxiang said. There was a very stifling feeling when he said, "I love Lumiere. To me she was my friend, mother, and first love..."

Xiao Shuxiang took a breath as he said, "I thank you guys for creating this Xiao Shuxiang with a heart that has never had a grudge on anyone. Because of that heart... Makes me love people more than take them all out. So for the last time... Go."

Xiao Shuxiang raised his right hand slowly. He stared at the completed scroll of the Sun Killing Book, his hands trembling slightly as he reopened his voice.

Xiao Shuxiang said, "Even though I love humans and this place very much... But I have not forgotten the place where you created me. It's also home to me and I can't ignore it,"

Xiao Shuxiang gave the scroll in his hand and said, "Take this. You can use it to fix the place. And convey my apology to Lumiere. Don't come here again or this time I'll face you mercilessly,"

The fox masked figure took the scroll in Xiao Shuxiang's hand. He looked at the young man before him before opening the scroll which turned out to actually contain the entire passage of the Sun Killing Book.

The figure snorted, "You gave up the thing... What I can use to destroy this world. Are you out of your mind?"

"No, I'm still very sane." Xiao Shuxiang said, "I did this... Because I trust you."

!!

"Xiao Shuxiang's...!"

"Go," Xiao Shuxiang said. "There's nothing I can do but this. You can use those scrolls to fix the world you're in. But... If you use that heirloom to bring this world to ruin, then I will completely forget my relationship with you or that world."

Xiao Shuxiang was actually betting on what he was currently doing. His mind said to attack and kill the figure before him, but there was one point in his heart that held back the urge. It was as if something was giving him a warning not to unsheatheathed the sword towards this subject if he did not want a great disaster to happen.

".................." the fox masked man in the black robe stared long enough at Xiao Shuxiang. He clenched his hands and then flicked his clothes as he was about to step away.

!?

Xiao Shuxiang was jolted by the action taken by this person, but in did not say anything. In his heart he thought hard, thinking that maybe what he was doing now was reckless and very wrong.

While he was weighing up to attack this figure and reclaim the Sun-Killing Book-a call took him by surprise.

"Xiao Shuxiang,"

!!

Xiao Shuxiang spontaneously caught something thrown by the fox-masked figure. He gasped when the thing he caught was a scroll from the Sun Killing Book he had previously given.

Part of the masked figure's body was in the darkness and part was illuminated by the moon's dim light. He then opened his voice and said the thing that made Xiao Shuxiang's eyes widen.

"You said you care about that hell-bent world, right? Then prove it. I want you to change it yourself" the fox-masked man said, "Use your power and fix the world where you consider 'home. But remember... It's not over."

The black-robed and hooded figure turned around before returning to say, "With you would rather protect this world... Then you're on the opposite road to us. Be careful... Because I'll be back."

The masked fox man said, "I do not have any feelings of hatred for humans.. But this one thing I can be sure of... That I really wanted to kill one person among your friends."

!!

Xiao Shuxiang flinched. He was about to open his voice when the body of the figure before him melted into the darkness and disappeared. He circulated the gaze and did not see the subject at all, completely not feeling its presence anymore.

"................."

Xiao Shuxiang's eyes widened. He really no longer felt the presence of the masked man. I can't believe that all of this ends without a fight. To be honest, it made him very shocked and confused.

"Is he...really gone?!"

Xiao Shuxiang darted into the forest. He searched among the trees and found no one. It was truly unbelievable that Mo Huai, Qian Kun, or whoever the person's name was actually left behind just like that.

Xiao Shuxiang took a breath. He stopped his footsteps and clenched his hands together. Xiao Shuxiang even bit his own lips as it was shocking that someone who had been his main enemy all along - let himself be just like that.

"What the fuck..." Xiao Shuxiang shook his head, "What the hell was he all along..."

!!

Blood was dripping on Xiao Shuxiang's lips as he bit him. He didn't want to say the word, but it seemed like it was... Qian Kun waited for those words.

The actions of the figure clearly indicate that in fact.... He also trusted Xiao Shuxiang.

"Impossible.." Unknowingly the water trickled down Xiao Shuxiang's cheek.

The words of the figure were jolted in his head. Where when Qian Kun returned the Sun Killing Book to his hand so that Xiao Shuxiang himself would improve the conditions in that very bad world. The world was like hell and was the reason for the beginning of his life all this time.
