Chapter 474: Chapter 244: The Promise of the Strange Thing, Xiaohongmao and Sloth Witch_2 Chapter 474: Chapter 244: The Promise of the Strange Thing, Xiaohongmao and Sloth Witch_2 “Just like soone once said, ‘Great people are always hermaphroditic.'” The strange creature spoke, “So people inherently possess many seemingly contradictory but cleverly coexisting traits, housing many different souls within them: sotis it is a stern drill sergeant, sotis just a child craving for affection.”
It paused for a mont: “And you, sotis you’re a stoic vigilante with a mask, never uttering an extra word in front of the cara, and sotis you do so outrageous things.”
“Outrageous? Like what?”
“Like always having secret etings with a super villain on the overpass,” the strange creature said without hesitation.
“Let’s not talk about whether you are a super villain or not, it’s always been you seeking out, I have never initiated a eting with you, how can there be such a thing as a secret eting?”
“Neither accepting nor rejecting, isn’t that ambiguity?”
Bai Qiuwu gave it a glance and propped her chin with her hand, seriously pondering for a while: “Let think, I should be a poor little girl being lured by the super villain Dice Monster.”
...
“So you admit, in front of , you’re just a little girl?”
Bai Qiuwu spoke indifferently: “At least not when I’m wearing the mask.”
“That’s enough for .”
Bai Qiuwu brushed her hair beside her ear, fell silent for a while, hugged her legs, and spoke in a low voice: “So, we’re so familiar with each other now, do you really not plan to reveal your true identity to ?”
“I get it, you’re pretending to be close to but actually want to steal my true identity.” The strange creature shrugged, “You’re really shrewd, Miss Sun Wukong, but unfortunately, I’m not dull enough to just give in. Give up, you won’t be able to make surrender to you.”
“I don’t really want to know your identity that much.”
“Why?”
“Not knowing what you look like beneath the mask prevents disappointnt and getting hurt,” Bai Qiuwu said, “You’re good as you are right now, a symbolic comic character, like soone from a dream, so I can let go of my worries and speak honestly when I’m with you.”
She paused for a mont, “But… if I were to treat you as a real person, I’d only feel intimidated and even a bit of dislike towards you.”
“So, you don’t really want to know who I am?”
The strange creature turned its head, looking pitifully at her with a tone like a drenched puppy.
It felt conflicted, on one hand, it couldn’t let Bai Qiuwu find out its identity, on the other, it didn’t want her to not care about its identity, which would be humiliating for it as a mysterious villain.
“It’s contradictory, wanting… yet not wanting.”
As she spoke, Bai Qiuwu suddenly looked over with sharp eyes, and out of the blue extended her right arm, her fingers encased in a tal glove caressing the strange creature’s enigmatic face.
As if sensing its presence.
The strange creature let her touch its face, “Maybe one day in the future, I’ll tell you who I am.”
“Really?”
“Of course. Rather, when that day cos, there’ll be no point in hiding it from you anymore.”
“Then rember to tell before I go crazy,” Bai Qiuwu joked, “Otherwise… the monkey inside might start wreaking havoc in heaven, and by that ti, I won’t have the chance to know who is beneath your mask.”
“Alright.”
At those words, Bai Qiuwu bowed her head and fell silent for a mont, suddenly put on the mask, and clenched Jingu Bang in her right hand. She swung it in a circular motion in mid-air, producing a whistling sound, then rested it against the strange creature’s neck.
“Promise ,” she said.
Her tone sounded joking, yet seed serious.
The strange creature raised its arms in surrender.
“I promise you: I assure you that our Miss Sun Wukong won’t die alone, unbeknownst to her identity. How pitiful would that be, right?”
Bai Qiuwu seed satisfied, the corner of her mouth lightly lifted, and she lowered Jingu Bang, saying, “Actually, I want to thank you. I wouldn’t want to see my brother get hurt either, especially not on such an important day. If he ca back injured to celebrate my sister’s birthday, not to ntion her, even I would be unhappy.”
“Then I guess I’ve accomplished two things at once?”
“You really are sentintal, I hope you don’t talk to my sister in the sa manner.”
“No, no, no, you should know about Miss Ash’s violent temper. Every ti she sees , she already has her gun pointed at my head without saying a word,” the strange creature paused, “I an, I’m only gentle with you… after all, in a real sense, you are my only friend.”
Bai Qiuwu was stunned for a mont.
“I’d sooner believe you’re Emperor Qin Shi Huang.”
Saying these internet catchphrases was rare for her, though slightly outdated.
“Of course, believe . If not, take a look at your phone,” the strange creature spread its hands.
Bai Qiuwu took out her phone from the pocket of her long coat upon hearing this and glanced at the ssage content, letting out an irritated chuckle.
[Mr. Strange Creature: I am Emperor Qin Shi Huang, V 50 to help unify the world.]
“Alright, let’s end the joking here; we have serious matters to attend to now,” said the strange creature.
“Serious matters?”
“Correct, since you are here, I can’t let you go empty-handed. That’s the principle of our trade.”
The strange creature paused, then asked with a secretive tone, “Do you know about the Witch Church?”
“I’ve heard of it.”
“They are planning to make a move on your sister?”
“Like what happened to Xiao Ling and Yongzhu?”
“No, this ti it’s different. The Witch Church’s goal is to turn your sister into a witch, to make her one of their own, not to kill her.”
“So, at least my sister is safe?”
