Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

Chapter 357 Really, buddy, you want to kill me?

"OK?"

Xiao was stunned.

The tone and intonation of this sentence did not seem like something that a fake in this state could say.

Could it be...

"You're back?"

"Hmm~" Red Xiao raised his chin, "I didn't expect you to find another way. The things you sent are quite useful."

Then, his face and the corners of his mouth sank: "Using my face to deceive people?"

"roll."

As the words fell, scarlet mist suddenly surged out of the red goblin's body, engulfing the bodies of the two goblins.

Xiao subconsciously withdrew his hands that were controlling Red Xiao, crossed them in front of him, his ears were filled with sharp ghost howls, and a cold feeling completely enveloped him.

It seemed as if many resentful souls were passing by his body.

His vision was blocked by the fog, so he didn't see the cold look in Hong Xiao's eyes. He suddenly reached out to grab a fleeing ghost and extinguished its scream in his palm.

"You clown." Red Xiao sneered in a voice that Xiao couldn't hear.

As long as he has not fallen to the point where his functions are damaged and he cannot heal himself, he can suppress this group of evil spirits and become the will that dominates karma.

It has always been like this and it will always be like this.

The fog dissipated, Xiao moved his hand away and looked around, and found that the space had returned to its original appearance, with wandering resentful souls everywhere, and sometimes he could hear meaningless muttering in his ears.

It's back, everything is back.

Xiao lowered his head happily and met Red Xiao's interested eyes.

Red Xiao asked in a teasing tone: "How long do you plan to sit on me?"

Hearing this, Xiao subconsciously tried to move aside to let Hong Xiao stand up. Just as his center of gravity shifted, he suddenly remembered something. He leaned forward, placed his hands on Hong Xiao's head, and assumed a victorious stance. He said, "I remember you said before that if I beat you, you'd agree to one of my requests. If I win today, I'll become your fake. Doesn't that count as half the battle?"

Red Xiao snorted softly, "And then? You're not going to say you're going to make a request, are you?"

"Rounding off, half is equal to one." Xiao shamelessly lied.

It's rare to have the upper hand in dealing with the red goblin, it would be a waste not to do something.

Who knew, Hong Xiao would ask back: "Didn't you just mention one?"

"what?"

"Isn't it your wish to return the property to its original owner? I have fulfilled it. I am back."

"??"

Can you do this?

Just when Xiao was feeling disappointed, Red Xiao suddenly chuckled. Xiao cast a resentful look at him, and he pleaded, "Alright, alright, what I said just now doesn't count. What do you want to mention?"

So easy to talk to?

Xiao looked at Hong Xiao suspiciously, not understanding what this guy was planning.

But when the opportunity you want is right in front of you, why not seize it?

"You said it." Xiao took a deep breath, his expression becoming extremely serious. "From now on, you are not allowed to hide your condition from me again."

"Tsk." Red Xiao showed an expression of annoyance and responded reluctantly, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Xiao wasn't happy about this; instead, his mood grew even more gloomy. He continued, "They wanted to replace you. This must have started a long time ago, right when they all surrounded you. But I... maybe that imposter was right. I'm easily fooled. I was lucky this time. I noticed something was wrong with you before it was too late, and I quickly found a solution. That's why everything's fine. I don't want to wake up and realize something about you is irreversible."

Hong Xiao put away the playful smile on his face and stared at Xiao intently. After a long while, he looked away and sighed softly, "I thought I could handle it... well, since you're so free, I won't be polite."

The annoying voice hadn't completely disappeared, but had gone dormant for the time being. He was still at risk of being replaced, and after what happened today, he didn't want to see it again.

"Then it's settled."

"Haha, when have I ever broken my promise?"

After getting the answer he wanted, Xiao moved aside and let Red Xiao sit up.

Looking at the wounds of varying sizes on the latter's body, all of which were left by Xiao, he felt a little guilty for no reason.

"Does it hurt?" he asked.

Red Xiao sat cross-legged, one hand supporting his face, tilting his head to look at Xiao, and calmly uttered two words: "It hurts."

You didn't say anything stubborn this time?

Xiao was slightly stunned and was unable to react until a pain surged from his soul, and his wandering thoughts were brought back.

"What's with that expression on your face? Didn't you tell me to report truthfully?" Red Xiao reached out and gently traced the edge of Xiao's wound with his fingertips. His face was expressionless, and it was unknown what he was thinking. "Why, you don't feel any pain?"

"It hurts." Xiao grabbed Hong Xiao's hand to prevent it from wandering around on his body.

How could it not hurt?

He was much more seriously injured than Red Goblin, with multiple penetrating wounds on his body, and he looked like a piece of rag.

It's only because he is a soul now that his wounds don't bleed and your organs can't be seen through them. Otherwise, he would look absolutely creepy and could be the final boss in a horror story.

Red Xiao sneered: "I thought you weren't hurt, and I was just complaining about your long life. Will you dare to do it again next time? If you dare to use such a stupid trick again..."

"What do you do?"

Xiao interrupted.

Hey, who am I doing this for? And you're scolding me!

Xiao was very unhappy.

"So what?" Red Xiao suddenly pinched Xiao's cheek, his eyes narrowed slightly to hide the dangerous light in his eyes, and his tone was threatening, "I'll take this opportunity to swallow you up, so that you won't cause trouble again."

Xiao was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly, not afraid of Hong Xiao's threat at all: "Are you willing to do it?"

Because his face was pinched, his voice was a little unclear.

Seeing that his other self wasn't at all affected by this trick, Red Xiao uttered a "tsk" sound, let go of the other's face, and asked unhappily, "Are you taking advantage of me for nothing?"

I have raised it for a long time!

"Let's not talk about that. What about the power you displayed earlier?" Red Xiao stared into Xiao's eyes with a malicious smile, "That's not our power, is it?"

"Uh……"

Xiao: Why do I feel a little guilty?

"Why, is the power I gave you not enough?" Hong Xiao asked again.

"Um……"

Xiao: Indeed... it’s not enough, but I dare not say it, for fear that Red Xiao will swallow me in anger.

Seeing Xiao hesitating and not answering, Hong Xiao curled his lips and said, "How about this, if you promise me one thing, I won't pursue these matters."

"what's up?"

"Forget what just happened. Don't recall it, and don't tell anyone about it."

"Ah?" Xiao was confused.

"If he asks, let me answer."

"okay."

Xiao felt a little regretful. He was thinking about leaving here later and sharing the little ghost form of Red Xiao with Green Xiao. It looked very cute, but unfortunately he didn't have time to touch it, and he didn't know what it felt like.

The corners of Hong Xiao's mouth twitched.

Cute...huh?

To be described by another me with such words... is shameful.

When he was unable to maintain his physical form, Hong Xiao deliberately created a badminton to block his vision and prevent his true appearance from being seen by his other self, which was too embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, he was hooked out like a fish, and in the end, his appearance was seen by others.

Forget it, it’s okay if another me sees it, but this matter must never be known to a third person.

Outside the scarlet space.

Green Xiao's gaze remained on the place where Xiao disappeared.

Xiao has been in there for a long time. At the beginning, the magic left on him was triggered, but then everything was calm for a long time, which made Green Xiao a little worried.

"The magic is still there, enough for me to locate it, but it exists in the space at the soul level... Can I break it?" Green Xiao muttered softly.

In the end, he was so worried that he decided to try to force his way into where Xiao was.

Green Xiao came to the place where Xiao disappeared and stood still. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and entered a state similar to meditation. Strands of green light flowed along his torso into the palm of his right hand.

More than ten seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes, clenched his right fist, and punched the void in front of him. The power of his fist caused ripples in the space.

There was only a muffled "bang" sound, and a large cloud of smoke exploded in the void. A figure flew out from the smoke at such a fast speed that a long trail of blurry afterimages could be seen.

Two seconds later, Xiao rushed out from the smoke, stumbling.

When he stood firm, he raised his head and looked at Green Goblin in surprise, as if asking: Really, buddy, you want to kill me?

Green Goblin also stood there in a daze. He twisted his neck stiffly and looked at his fist.

So, what was that thing he just hit?

The two Xiaos found the Red Xiao that was knocked away. The Red Xiao's injuries were in vain, and the injury was even more serious than before.

Red Xiao was cursing at Green Xiao. Xiao had a hunch that if Red Xiao wasn't seriously injured, he would have fought with Green Xiao.

Green Xiao was in the wrong, so he endured it silently while helping Red Xiao recover from his injuries, without saying a word.

After cursing for about half an hour, Xiao felt that he should mediate. Just as he took a step forward, he felt Hong Xiao's eyes sweep over him. Then he heard Hong Xiao continue to curse: "What did I tell you in the end? I handed him over to you, and you just let him go to a dangerous place? Can you do that?"

Green Xiao felt a little aggrieved.

He couldn't get into the place where the red goblin was.

Although he couldn't say he liked Red Xiao very much, he had been with it for so long, he couldn't just ignore Red Xiao's life or death and forcibly stop Xiao, right?

Green Xiao remained silent, and Red Xiao's tone suddenly softened a bit: "I'll give you the authority to come and go freely. Next time, you can go in with him."

"……it is good."

Green Goblin felt that there seemed to be an extra mark in his soul, like some kind of pass.

Xiao looked at the red Xiao, who had calmed down despite his resentment, then looked at the green Xiao who seemed to be deep in thought, and paused.

Are they... done arguing? Are they reconciled?

Xiao was still a little confused, but his desired goal had been achieved automatically, so he was too lazy to delve into the reasons.
