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

Xiao felt himself and found that his strength was all there and he could mobilize it freely. He silently said in his heart, "All fear comes from insufficient firepower." Then he took a deep breath and walked towards the center of the mall.

It seemed like something evil was following him. Wherever he went, the lights began to flicker. He had no choice but to summon his kite gun. It was safer to hold something in his hand.

"May the Emperor bless you."

The lights suddenly stopped flashing.

Xiao calmed down and came to the guardrail in the center of the mall. From here he could see the floors below and the escalator.

The lights in the mall did not go out, they just changed from white to red, but looking down from here, all he could see was pitch black. His intuition told him that it would be very dangerous to enter this darkness.

The escalators were still in operation, and in this case they looked like conveyor belts feeding the dark mass.

Bang, bang, bang.

The sound coming from downstairs changed, as if a heavy object began to move upstairs, hitting the stairs again and again, and also hitting Xiao's heart.

He couldn't help but shiver and got goosebumps all over the floor.

He forced himself to calm down.

This place is probably an illusion created based on my memory. Since it is not reality, I cannot avoid those scary things. After all, everything here, including the mall itself, is aimed at me. So why not... go directly to the source? Maybe there will be clues to break the situation, and maybe even a physical exorcism.

He immediately set out to find the stairs. The escalator was impossible to use and was disturbing just to look at. The elevator...

He looked at the closed metal door not far away, and an inexplicable palpitation rose in his heart. He was somewhat resistant, as if he had experienced something bad in there.

Finally, he headed toward the fire escape, which was where the noise sounded from.

Before going downstairs, he looked back at the floor sign, the number "5" was faintly visible in the red light. The staircase was not long, and he arrived at the next floor after just one turn. He subconsciously looked up, but when he saw the floor sign clearly, he stopped breathing.

Why the 2nd floor?

Shila-

Just then the sound he was looking for rang in his ears, but he saw nothing nearby.

Alarm bells rang in his heart, and the dangerous aura seemed to be licking the side of his face. He took a step back, but his foot stepped on empty air. The stairs behind him disappeared at some point, and he fell into the darkness below. Before falling, he saw himself slowly raising the kite gun in his hand and stabbing it into his chest little by little.

At this moment, his vision was exceptionally good, and he could even clearly see how the emerald tip of the gun pierced his body.

The light from the emergency lights in the corridor shone on his body, making him look like a bloody man.

A yellowed piece of paper fell from the stairs, blocking his view. When the paper got closer, he saw the three characters "Want to Kill" and his portrait printed on it, with a seal of "Death" on the portrait. The ink on the paper was still flowing, making the entire seal look a little dirty, as if it was stained with blood.

When the paper left his sight, the staircase also disappeared.

The darkness around him dissipated a little, and he could just about see his surroundings.

He was in the center of the mall, and from this position he could see the layout of the five floors. The same red lights, the same layout.

He felt that he was falling, but the distance between the floors did not change. It was just that the black fog around him became thicker and thicker, eventually engulfing his sight.

He felt like he was being cut open.

It was a strange feeling, no pain, but he knew he was being dismembered.

The emotion of fear grew in his heart, becoming stronger and stronger, and finally borne the fruit called "numbness".

He hit the bottom.

There was still no pain, and when he regained his vision, he didn't even see any bloody scene. The top of his head was blocked by a metal wall.

He landed in the elevator and the number on the display read "5".

Looking at the wide-open elevator door, he was in a trance for a moment, and then a strong sense of uneasiness surged from the bottom of his heart.

You can't stay in the elevator, there are...

He was about to rush out when the elevator suddenly began to fall, and the sudden feeling of weightlessness made him fall to the ground.

As I watched the numbers on the display screen shrink rapidly, I felt more and more uneasy.

The scene now was very familiar, he seemed to have experienced it before, as if something was coming.

The scene before his eyes began to merge with his memory. When the number on the display stopped at "-18", he finally remembered. When the elevator landed at the -18th floor, he would see...

The elevator door was aligned with the passage, and a pale human face appeared at the junction. The moment it saw Xiao, it immediately rushed towards his face.

It’s more like a mask than a face. It has Xiao’s face drawn on it, but it doesn’t look like him. He has a weird smile on his face.

This creepy face quickly enlarged in Xiao's frightened eyes. He wanted to use something to block the view in front of him, but found that there was nothing at hand. It seemed that he had left the kite spear somewhere, but he couldn't remember where it was.

Xiao suddenly woke up, and then he slid down slowly against the wall as if he had suffered a severe blow. He knelt on the ground, covering his head with one hand, and whimpered in pain.

It took him a long time to recover.

He didn't know why he suddenly had a splitting headache.

Shila-

From the first floor of the mall came the sound of something heavy being dragged on the ground.

His body couldn't help but tremble, and he didn't know whether it was stimulated by the cold wall or for some other reason.

He walked towards the center of the mall.

The center of the mall is empty and surrounded by guardrails, but you can see the floors below and the escalators.

Suddenly, he stopped.

How did he know about the mall's situation? Didn't he just arrive here and accidentally leave a blood mark on the wanted order, causing the mall to suddenly change? And what about this uncontrollable fear in his heart? He shouldn't be that timid, right?

He looked around. Although it was an unfamiliar scene, he had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as if he had been here for a long time and had experienced many things.

Bang!

Just when he was vaguely thinking of something, the sound from downstairs interrupted his thoughts. His brain was already in a state of confusion, and after being interrupted like this, he could no longer find that spark of inspiration.

How to do?

If you want to break the illusion, you either have to use all your strength to create a miracle or find a breakthrough point.

He planned to try them one by one.

Xiao summoned the Kite Spear, prepared for the backlash of the illusion, and was about to open it when his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

His intuition told him that he couldn't do this.

This scene seemed familiar, and something seemed to have happened afterwards.

He immediately lost his temper and stumbled to the side, intending to continue looking for that flash of inspiration. But his mind was too confused and his thinking speed was very slow.

Perhaps he needed some stimulation to wake himself up.

So he bit his hand.

"Hmm?" His eyes slowly widened.

Why no feeling?

Suddenly, he understood and caught the escaping thought.

Dreams...Reincarnation...

He breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he realized he was dreaming, he would probably wake up soon and leave here.

Then he realized something and his expression became serious.

He must have experienced countless reincarnations. If it could end by realizing that he was dreaming, then why was he still here?

He felt extremely panicked. If he couldn't get out like this, how could he get out?

Is he going to be trapped and die here?

As soon as this idea came into his mind, it began to grow wildly in his heart.

The fear could no longer be suppressed.

After extreme fear, there would be either extreme calmness or extreme madness. And now, in his extreme calmness, he had a crazy idea.

He...had some things to do, he had to wake up.

He tightened his grip on the kite spear, and a look of determination emerged in his frightened golden eyes.

The next moment, he raised the gun in his hand and stabbed it into his chest with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to crush the internal organs together.
