27 Os My Beloved Little Toy (2/2)

From Lingcun’s depiction, Shi Xiaobai slowly outlined a weird person who liked to play others, while seeking pleasure from the games in life.

However, when Shi Xiaobai entered Hisith’s office, and truly met him, he felt that the image in his mind was not weird enough.

The man, named Hisith 1, in front of his eyes was beyond the description of weird.

His red hair stood up like flames, and his crescent-shaped eyes squinted in a cheeky and playful look. He wore face paint: a star on his right cheek, and a teardrop on his left cheek. It was impossible to tell his age, and his mouth hung with a sinister-looking smile. He was clearly a man, but his facial features gave an illusionary coquettish look.

When he stood up, he was tall, and had symmetrical muscles. He had long limbs, and wore a tight outfit, with long sleeves and pants. There were several golden rings that tightly bound his waist, making his waist look like a compressed spring. Under the rings’ wrapping, his waist looked so thin that it seemed like it could be snapped with a tight grip.

“You are here.”

At this moment, Hisith’s office only had the two of them. The first person to break the silence was Hisith. His voice was gentle, and his footsteps were light. His slender figure was filled with a strange repressive feeling. Every step he took seemed to make the ground tremble.

Hisith slowly walked in front of Shi Xiaobai, and a strange breath was released from his mouth as his eyes narrowed into a slit. His coquettish smile bloomed on his face.

“So, what do you intend to do? My beloved little toy?”

Hisith held up two fingers to raise Shi Xiaobai’s chin, lifting his head high up. That motion was like a thug teasing a girl.

Shi Xiaobai frowned and immediately wanted to retreat, but he was shocked to discover that his body could not move at all. His limbs did not seem like they were under his control. After using all his strength, he was only able to tremble his muscles slightly.

Hisith focused his eyes to study Shi Xiaobai’s face. His eyes sparkled with a strange glint, as if he was admiring his favorite plaything.

From the bottom of Shi Xiaobai’s heart, a sense of nausea suffused. He stopped struggling against the invisible bondage his body was experiencing as he said loudly, “This King, Tu Dahei, has missed classes for a few days. Am here for reporting!”

Upon hearing this, Hisith issued a strange laughter as he released his hands and took a few steps back.

“So that’s what it is. Your choice is very interesting, but also very boring. You probably have the presumptuous thought that I would agree to your approach, and even help you conceal your identity. However, my beloved little toy, you missed out something. For me, I wish that the game will carry on proceeding and wish that it would become more dynamic. I like things that are different and out of the blue. I hate being read by anyone, and hate an ending that is obvious.”

As Hisith spoke, he pulled out a brand new deck of poker cards from his breast pocket. The back of the poker cards was a short sword that pierced through a six-pointed star.

Hisith suddenly threw the poker cards into the sky and immediately dozens of poker cards scattered in the sky like falling leaves. However, surprisingly, the poker cards did not flutter to the ground as one would expect. Instead, they were frozen mid air, as if they were fixed in place.

“Come, my beloved little toy, let us play a little game that no one can guess the outcome.”

Hisith charmingly smiled with squinted eyes.

Author’s Note: Mentioning the reasons why Shi Xiaobai is able to conceal his identity.

1. The upper echelons deliberately withheld information (afraid other organizations would poach him).

2. The rookies who participated in the evaluation did not wish to mention anything (deep mental scars).

Hence, the rookies of [Annihilation] only know of Shi Xiaobai’s evaluation results (this is publicly released internally), but do not know of Shi Xiaobai’s appearance or character.

I know writing it in this way isn’t exactly stringent. But everything is for the plot. I do not wish to waste words, dragging out the story, to ensure that everything is made completely perfect, as the story is what is important. I personally think that the past few chapters were a bit too dragged out while I was setting up the plot. Thanks to the two characters, Steel Ox and Lingcun, it was still considered interesting.

1. Histhe’s appearance is modeled after Hisoka Morow from Hunter x Hunter, but again, they are completely different characters.
