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

No one noticed that in the hand wrapped by the little ghost, there was a ball of light.

This is the origin of Snow Shadow.

Hand over the power of Snow Shadow to the real Red Goblin - mission accomplished!

To be honest, the red goblin in this look is quite... cute.

Xiao pulled his hand back, lowered his voice, and asked expectantly: "After absorbing this, can you change back?"

The little ghost stared at him blankly without answering.

Does this mean "can't"?

Xiao guessed.

The corners of his mouth suddenly drooped, and holding on to the last glimmer of hope, he waved in front of the little ghost.

The little ghost seemed to wake up from a dream, its opaque body trembled for a moment, and then it slowly nodded.

So, is this saying "yes" or is it affirming the statement "no"?

Xiao is even more confused.

A sinister laugh came from behind him. "Red Xiao" seemed to have just come to his senses and taunted, "You really helped me a lot. I didn't expect that you could find him. It just solved my urgent need."

Xiao turned around, took a step forward, and stood in front of the little ghost.

After catching the red goblin, he also recovered most of his soul power. Now he is no longer as weak as before, and the confidence to face this impostor has gradually returned.

Red Mantis slowly approached him, still chattering, "This is perfect. Let him witness with his own eyes how I kill you in his image. He'll surely be completely despairing, and won't he stop his fearless resistance and struggle?"

Mandrill was silent.

Dead brain, think quickly! How to continue this topic!

He wanted to delay a little longer to see if there would be any changes in the little ghost.

"If you provoke him like this, aren't you afraid that he will drag you to be buried with me?" Xiao asked back.

"Red Goblin" fell silent. If he thought about it carefully, this situation was really possible, and the probability of it happening was very high. After all, something similar had just happened.

He scoffed, "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm just stating the facts." Xiao shrugged.

Red Xiao stared at Xiao with a gloomy face. Suddenly, he cracked a strange grin. "Haha, you almost scared me. As long as I devour you, I will be recognized by the King. He's just a loser who was ousted. No matter how dissatisfied he is, what kind of trouble can he stir up? You don't really think he can do anything, do you?"

"Is your 'King' very powerful?" Xiao asked again.

"Of course, no one can refuse the call of the 'King' and refuse to become His slave, no matter if they are the chosen ones of heaven as you call them, or the consciousness of this world." Having said this, "Red Mantis" showed a proud look, as if these words were praising himself.

"Calling... does it mean erosion?"

"The King is giving you a chance, but you never appreciate it. You're truly foolish." "Red Xiao" scorned him, then suddenly seemed to think of something, his expression darkening. "Are you stalling for time?"

"I just want to understand this 'king' who wants to kill me." Xiao denied it flatly.

"There's no need for that. As long as you become a part of me, you will get everything you want to know."

The topic came to a halt, and Xiao summoned a spear and held it in his hand.

He glanced at the little ghost out of the corner of his eye. He was still floating quietly behind him, just as he was before the conversation started. There was no change at all, and he looked silly and cute.

Well, it seems that we should just deal with the enemy in front of us first.

I should be fine, right?

There will be no problem!

After realizing that there were so many passive abilities, he felt that he was now terrifyingly strong.

Pre-emptive strike.

Xiao took the first step and flashed in front of "Red Xiao" in the blink of an eye. He swung his spear down, but he didn't feel anything in his hand, as if he was slashing at the air.

The actual situation was similar to splitting the air. The "Red Goblin"'s body was split into two halves, scattered into two balls of mist, and passed around him from both sides.

Xiao's heart suddenly started to ring with alarm bells, and his sixth sense was frantically warning him.

Xiao stomped his right foot heavily on the ground, twisted his body with the momentum, swung the spear tip half a circle, and lifted it up from bottom to top.

As his gaze turned to the back, he saw the "Red Goblins" regrouping behind him and were about to attack him, but for some reason, their bodies suddenly froze and his gun pierced a long gash in their chests.

There was no bleeding from the wound, and there was only darkness and chaos inside.

Xiao took advantage of the victory and did not give "Red Xiao" a chance to react or breathe, and soon gained an overwhelming advantage.

The advantage came too easily, which made Xiao suspicious.

While continuing to suppress "Red Goblin", he recalled the entire process of the battle and soon discovered something suspicious - "Red Goblin" had not used the atomization ability again, and he seemed to have some uncoordinated limbs, and his reaction was half a beat slower, as if his attention was distracted by something.

Suddenly, Xiao thought of something and quickly glanced around, but found no trace of the little ghost.

Damn it! I finally pulled you out, and you ran back on your own? There's no need to be so eager to help, right? I'm not that weak.

Now, Xiao is 90% sure that Red Xiao has returned to his body and is restraining the impostor. The time should be the moment when the impostor starts to behave abnormally - the moment when he uses a surprise move to get behind him and wants to launch a sneak attack.

He could still sense the murderous intent from the "Red Goblin", and it seemed that the real culprit had not been able to regain the initiative.

Forget it, I’ll try again later.

One is born, the second is cooked.

I don’t know if he has absorbed all the power I gave him. The amount is small to begin with, so I have to make sure it’s not taken away by the impostor.

After a while, the battle came to an end. "Red Xiao" was strangled by Xiao's neck and pressed to the ground. The gun blade was inserted next to "Red Xiao's" temple. As long as he moved, his head would be split open.

In the soul state, if your head is split open, you will not die on the spot, but the damage you suffer will not be small.

"I win." Xiao panted softly, his brows curved slightly, a smile on his face. "You can't even beat me, and you still want the approval of your 'king'?"

After all, this imposter was wearing the skin of Red Xiao, and if nothing unexpected happened, Red Xiao would completely recover in this body. The situation was not critical at the moment, and Xiao couldn't bear to let him go without anything, so he spent more effort and slowly bled him out.

"No, it's all because of that traitor, otherwise I wouldn't have lost!" "Red Xiao"'s eyes were bloodshot, he pinched Xiao's wrist tightly, his face full of unwillingness.

Isn't this a mixed doubles match of some kind?

Xiao thought so and began to attack the enemy: "Losing is losing. Will your "King" listen to your excuses? Change someone else. You are not qualified."

Thinking about the content of the previous conversation when delaying time, Xiao had a new idea in his mind.

Shake up the imposter's state of mind, reduce his control over his body, and create an opportunity for Red Goblin to take the lead.

If his guess when he first entered this space - that all the resentful souls in the space were gathered in this body - was correct, then the chances of this plan succeeding should be quite high.

Upon hearing the word "unqualified", Red Xiao's pupils suddenly shrank, he let out a strange cry, and his body couldn't stop spasming, as if he was suffering from some kind of inhuman torture. Xiao almost couldn't hold him down.

it works!

Xiao was surprised, and then he heard these intermittent syllables squeezed out of "Red Xiao"'s throat, which seemed to be asking, I lost, what do you want?

Xiao snorted and said word by word, "Of course—the property should be returned to its original owner."

"Okay."
