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

July was the height of summer. The sun was hanging high in the blue sky, scorching everything on earth. The air became hot and stuffy, and the ground seemed to be covered by a huge steamer, making it hard to breathe. Even the clouds in the sky seemed to have evaporated, leaving only a few thin clouds dotting the sky.

In a small house in the backyard of the Adventure Association, Xiao sat at the table bored, propping his head with one hand and looking out the window aimlessly. From time to time, a few wisps of hot wind blew in from the open window, ruffling the slightly wet ends of his hair, and the noisy cicadas chirped around his ears, making him feel a little sleepy.

After the college went on summer vacation, the dormitory was also closed, so Xiao lived here under the arrangement of President Qiao. He originally planned to make an appointment with Cheng Xiao, who happened to live in the city, to go around the city together to see if there were any places he had not been to. As a result, the weather seemed to have made an agreement with the college. As soon as the college went on vacation, the temperature rose suddenly. This hot weather has lasted for several days. Who would hang out outside in the hot sun for no reason? So his plan is still at the stage of thinking.

Suddenly, the buzzing of mosquitoes mixed in with the chirping of cicadas, and Xiao, who was originally drowsy, suddenly woke up. He grabbed the mosquito that tried to land on his face, and the vitality that emerged from his palm directly killed the mosquito. Then he stood up and walked outside, intending to get some cold drinks from President Qiao.

Along the way, several hurried staff members passed by Xiao, but he didn't pay attention. When he arrived at the door of President Qiao's office, he found that there were other people inside. President Qiao also happened to see Xiao coming to the door and waved him over.

"Xiao, you're here just in time."

Hearing this tone, Xiao felt something was wrong, but he still walked in obediently.

After President Qiao's introduction, Xiao learned that some thugs had appeared in the city recently, killing and setting fire everywhere. There were too many of them, and they were scattered, so the inspectors alone could not handle it. The captain of the inspection team was talking to President Qiao, and he came here to seek help. In addition, they also found Jiang Qiuhui.

"That's the situation. I'll have someone issue the mission later. Since you're here, just follow the captain. Of course, you won't work for nothing. The reward... will be determined by the number of problems you solve."

Xiao accepted it gladly since he had nothing to do now anyway.

"By the way, it's midsummer now, and the sun has been particularly scorching these days. Be careful not to get heatstroke when helping out outside." As he spoke, President Qiao took out some talismans and handed them to Xiao.

"These are cooling charms that will help you resist the heat outside."

What a good thing.

Xiao took the talisman paper and said, "Thank you, President. I'll go first."

"Your name is Xiao, right? Come with me."

The two came to the entrance of the Adventure Association. The captain took out a map, pointed to a place on the right and said, "Let's start from here in the east of the city."

"How many places do we have to go in total?" Xiao called out to the captain who was about to leave.

"How many are there?" The captain took out a small notebook and began to look through it. "Let me see... 33 in the east of the city, 37 in the west, 62 in the south, and 18 in the north."

Xiao was dumbfounded by this answer. More than a hundred places, no wonder the patrol team couldn't handle it. But then again, more than a hundred places in the city had problems at the same time, is this normal?

"So we have to hurry." The captain put away his notebook and was about to go out.

Xiao thought for a moment and quickly followed: "There are so many places, should we run to them one by one?"

"What else?" The captain glanced at Xiao and said, "All the mounts have been requisitioned by colleagues on the front line. I also ran here on my own two legs."

"Is it just because there is no mount available?" Xiao took off the wooden sign on his waist, and the next moment, a big bird that was not even as tall as him appeared beside the two of them.

The captain exclaimed: "You actually have a spirit beast?!"

Ling Xiao was too lazy to correct the human's mistake, but looked at Xiao: "I already have a general idea of ​​the situation. You want me to take you to your destination quickly, right?" After saying that, it spread its wings and flew into the air, its scarlet wings sparkling in the sun.

Finally, Ling Xiao grabbed the captain's collar with one claw and the ribbon on Xiao's back with the other, and rushed towards the destination. A layer of light green energy enveloped the two of them, preventing the strong wind from high in the sky from causing harm to them.

The captain, who was being held by the collar, had a blank mind at this moment. He felt as if he didn't recognize the mount anymore.

Since he had some suspicions from the beginning, Xiao was not surprised by the current situation. He just said that the size of the beast did not look like it could be ridden.

“Human, do you really think I’ll let you ride on me? Haha.”

Regardless of the way he led the group, Ling Xiao's speed was still very fast, and he arrived at his destination in a short while. They found a deserted place nearby to land, and then walked towards the place where the inspectors were fighting.

"If you ask me, these people are completely crazy and beyond help. Why should we hold back?"

“Please, we are here to maintain order. They are still civilians in the city after all. We cannot kill them without permission from above.”

"Tsk, look at their posture, they really want to kill us. They have more or less killed some people, so it's not a pity for them to die."

"Stop arguing. If you don't want to waste your time bickering here, why not find a way to subdue them as soon as possible so that you can go support other teams!"

"..."

"Remember, don't kill them, just subdue them." The captain reminded Xiao.

Xiao nodded, turned around and joined the battle. With his powerful strength, he quickly subdued the dozen or so people who he didn't know whether to call them thugs or civilians.

The one who seemed to be the leader among the inspectors said respectfully to Xiao: "Thank you for your help, sir. Hey, Captain Gao, why are you here?"

"Didn't I go to the Adventure Association to ask for support? This is the master I invited." Captain Gao walked up from behind: "You guys should deal with things here quickly, and then go help others. Come on, let's go to the next place." The last sentence was said to Xiao.

On the way to the next location, Xiao raised his doubts: "Didn't you say that it was thugs causing trouble?"

"Isn't it that they used a slightly exaggerated rhetoric in order to get support as quickly as possible? But I'm not sure whether those civilians can be considered thugs. Their hands are indeed stained with the blood of their relatives and friends."

“Why would they do that?”

"Who knows? The higher-ups asked us to keep them alive, maybe to study the cause. Hundreds of people from all over the city suddenly rioted. This is not a big deal, but it's not a small one either."

At the fifth place he went to, Xiao met an old acquaintance.

"It's you?!" Ji Xingyun was a little surprised to see this familiar boy suddenly appearing in front of him. Then he stared at Xiao with a gloomy face, without saying a word.

Xiao noticed the gaze, but just glanced at him and ignored him. He quickly dealt with the rioting people and immediately set off to the next place.

Looking at Xiao's back as he left, Ji Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief. He's gotten stronger. Fortunately, he's not here to cause trouble for me, but it seems I won't have a chance to avenge him. Tsk, this hot environment is really annoying.

Later on, Xiao did not land in a regular manner, but directly sent justice down from the sky. By controlling the wind around him, he could reduce his falling speed, ensuring that the impact of his falling to the ground would just stun those people, which was much more efficient.

Captain Gao was still worried at first, afraid that Xiao would hurt the people, and also afraid that Xiao would hurt himself if he jumped from such a high place, but after many times, he gradually became numb. If you have strength, you can do whatever you want.

After an afternoon of hard work, the rioting people were finally subdued. Xiao didn't need to worry about the rest. On the way back to his residence, he also bought some iced drinks.

"A familiar smell..." Xiao, who was still mumbling to himself, suddenly said to Xiao: "When you go back, tell that person not to take this matter lightly."

"Are you talking about President Qiao? Okay. By the way, do you want to try this ice drink? It tastes pretty good." Xiao took a sip of the ice drink. The feeling of being cool from the inside out was really good.

"No need, I'm not interested in this kind of thing, and I don't have an appetite."

"alright."

"Xiao":? I just said it casually, why did you take it seriously?
