Chapter 103 - I Am In The Dark And You Are In The Light

"Hm?"Xiao Wei rapidly blinked his eyes when he felt something poking in his mind before finally turning his attention to the tall middle-aged man, which is the cost of the unusual feeling.

Of course, the crazed light in his crimson eyes increased after figuring out what the opposite older man was trying to do.

"You want to control me?"

Xiao Wei's lip twisted in a wide smile as the tingling became stronger after he uttered those words out.

"Spiritual Ability, huh. But you are far too weak though."

If it was another person, they might have fallen for the man's ability, however, Xiao Wei mentality is ridiculously and abnormally strong despite being crazy. As for how firm his will is, there was no need to question it.

So trying to affect Xiao Wei, either by controlling, brainwashing or whatever type of spiritual ability the person has would be harder to do, instead it's far better to just simply kill him.

It's basically one of Xiao Wei's greatest cheats, although it wasn't given by his increasingly useless system that only knows how to give trouble and tasks.

Of course, if he is facing the other protagonist, there is no denying that it will undoubtedly give him difficulties.

After all, having a protagonist halo or not since the world is definitely real instead of it just being a novel, doesn't change the fact that the other person is their greatest foe in the entire world.

Honestly, aside from knowing how the other protagonist is an amazing stallion with a bit of Gary Su style in the apocalypse novel.

Xiao Wei understands that there is something deeper about the other protagonist instead of just being a perfect person with outstanding and beautiful wives, becoming what every man has always dreamed of.

If he has Black and the World Rule Will help, basically his cheats in the world, there is definitely something special about the other protagonist too, aside from what he knows about him, which is basically nothing important.

Or else, Back and the World Rule Will wouldn't need his help at all. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ n0vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Honestly, Xiao Wei always has a weird feeling about the other protagonist, especially after learning what kind of mission he needed to do.

Which already informs Xiao Wei about some hidden settings in the story that weren't mentioned, something the lazy Author didn't deem necessary to mention.

Of course, it might also be the fact that the novel he read had many loopholes, missing details, and was more focused on the perfect protagonist living the peek of his life in the Apocalypse world.

And then it didn't help that Xiao Wei also has a system that seemed to be mostly clueless or completely tight-lipped about what is happening in the world and a World Rule Will that appeared to have been exhausted after fighting against an equally powerful existence.

Well, he should be content that at least his cheats have given some help instead of completely being useless.

Xiao Wei quickly glanced at his jacket pocket with a flash of light on his crimson eyes since he just figured out that his system is more likely to fulfill being a salted fish.

Acting as a petty-minded person, Xiao Wei already thought of various trouble for the lazy System in his pocket before finally turning most of his attention at the person that continued to affect his mind, which only occurred for a few seconds.

"Let me show you mine too…"

Xiao Wei softly whispers before waving his hands, and within just a single second, a cold white mist has completely surrounded them.

"Welcome to my World of Ice."

And to the horrified eyes of the two men, the entire surrounding quickly became frozen, which started in the circular line where the white mist had entirely surrounded them before it quickly spread and got closer in the middle of where they were standing.

"Be honored. You are the first human that would be dying with my power and knowing what is happening around you."

It was completely unlike the late-night date with his Brother Blue, where those groups of people selling firearms were completely clueless in their dying time as they froze to death in just a few seconds.

"Bye, bye~"

Xiao Wei smiled innocently and harmlessly while a grim repeater scythe made of ice quickly formed on his hands before swiftly and cruelly slicing through the two men's necks that were quickly freezing.

Soon, two pairs of heads flew in the air before violently falling to the ground.

At the same time, the crimson blood that was supposed to gush out from the headless body was completely frozen, saving Xiao Wei from getting dirty from the splatter of blood that was supposed to occur with the way he killed his enemies.

If it were the normal time, he wouldn't have bothered to freeze the blood, allowing it to stain his body and slightly basking in the sticky but warm feeling on his skin, which definitely no normal person would ever do and feel about.

The only reason why Xiao Wei had such a mentality and reaction was that it always doesn't fail to remind him that he is still alive, that he survived once again whenever he faced a person that wished him harm.

Xiao Wei basically has that sort of mentality, which was something he started having the moment he understood that misfortune always follows him around.

It especially turned far serious after completely succumbing to how unfair life is and directly walking in the dark with open arms, completely giving up on trying to live in the light no matter how hard it was.

Xiao Wei understood that he wasn't just meant for such a life.

As for the person being in the light, Xiao Wei's eyes flash as the image of Shen Hao appears in his mind.

"...He is different."

Even if Shen Hao has the same amount of craziness inside him too, but, honestly, it didn't change the fact that Xiao Wei believes that his handsome lover is still in the light instead of the dark.

Because Xiao Wei's life experience is completely opposite from him since at the start, he lives the lowest of life, the moment he was born, misfortune after misfortune follows.

The people he managed to care for and like, wasn't able to stay alive for long. it was like he was born as a lone star, unable to truly have anything to care about in life.

One way or another, the people around him would one day leave him alone.

Even after he walked toward the darkness, there wasn't any peaceful time in his life.

Xiao Wei fought his way up with almost no bottom line, completely giving up his sanity, stamping and crawling at the lives of others in order to simply live, which he ended up surviving and reaching his peak of power.

Unfortunately though, after surviving with great difficulty and experiencing countless hardships, he died because of a drunk driver.

Honestly, life is full of surprises, one could never tell what will happen next.

So there isn't much regret in Xiao Wei, instead, he only feels aggrieved that he wasn't able to completely indulge the peak of life that he has just fought for.

While Shen Hao is completely different.

He is born into an outstanding and amazing family, surrounded by genuine love from the people around him.

He is also extremely wealthy and talented with equally outstanding friends that genuinely care about him even though they are weird people.

"... I'm awesome though… it's mine… hehe…"

Shen Hao is becoming Xiao Wei light even if the man doesn't know it, although it's likely a crazy light that can burn and harm him, but it doesn't matter because light is still light.

"... Host, what are you mumbling about?"

"Hm? Nothing much, just being enlightened."

Xiao Wei smiles adorably, not showing anything from his outward appearance, completely hiding what he really thought in mind. 

Before finally gazing at the frozen blood that shines a bit after being hit by the sunlight and letting out a soft sigh.

"Well, it's alright if I can't always bask on it anymore. I got something far more precious that can make me feel alive. Besides, watching the beautiful crimson color is also good enough." 

"... I won't ask what you by that."

Black rolls his eyes since he understands that his host is just being crazy again.

"Hm? Don't be like that, I'm being a good boy alright? I'm not planning to waste any precious water if I let myself be splatter by blood, which will help a bit to our mission, you know?"

Aside from food in the Apocalypse, water is also one of the rare commodities, especially when in the future, the environment would become more devastated, the plants dying or turning mutated while most of the water would be polluted.

Well, for an Ice elemental ability user, Xiao Wei wouldn't have a problem with taking a bath even once a day though, but it's more troublesome to melt the ice instead of using the ice ability to deal with the enemies. 

More than that though, Xiao Wei gently craned his neck while gazing at the two dead bodies before him.

"That was so easy…"

It didn't even manage to pacify his murderous intention for a tiny bit.

Xiao Wei titled his head while the tip of his tongue pressed the inside of his cheeks, the half narrowed crimson eyes still brimming with craze and savage light as he stared in a certain direction.

"Host Wei, stop whatever you are thinking right now and don't go looking for trouble."

Black quickly pops his fluffy head up from Xiao Wei's pocket after perceiving that the heavy aura around his host didn't lessen one bit even after the fight is over.

After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Wei let out a low 'heh' before his crimson eyes rolled up and swiftly took out the small Black lazily staying in his pocket, squeezing and pinching the fluffy and flexible small body.

From the temperature and touch alone, no one would be able to tell that the small fluffy body in Xiao Wei's hand wasn't really a living creature and was only a small robot made from a high technology world.

"H-Hey! What are you doing? How could you have the heart to abuse such an adorable creature???"

"Heh… yes, you are right, since your host is also adorable, it wasn't surprising that my system is also adorable. Besides, how could I have the heart to abuse you? I'm just showing how much I like you~"

Xiao Wei squinted his crimson eyes, feeling the wonderful fluffiness and softness on his hands, which helped lessen the bloodlust that wanted to continue wreaking havoc.

It also helped that there was no other living being around or else, it wasn't easy to pacify the craziness in Xiao Wei's heart that wanted to continue on.

"Alright, because Black is being adorable and sacrificing himself, I'll reluctantly go back this time~"

Xiao Wei took one last glance in the direction where the Police Station is before turning around and going back to his group of minions, of course, he didn't forget to pick up the souvenir being a nice and thoughtful Boss he is.
