Huang Mao: steps out of shadows Why'd you betray me?! Was it worth it?!
The humanoid figure turned slightly towards Huang Mao, but still didn't move otherwise.
Now now, I said don't cause trouble. So I'm going to ask you nicely, who are you and what are you doing here? You must have some sort of purpose for suddenly appearing here out of nowhere. So tell me, what is it?
It looked towards Huang Mao, then it spoke in a low pitched voice. "You... are not the one I seek."
Huh, not the one you seek? Then who are you looking for? And why did you appear here all of a sudden? You're not some kind of specter or spirit, are you?
The figure nodded, though it still didn't move otherwise. "No... I am not... A 'ghost'..."
Mm, so you're not some sort of spirit. So you're alive then? What are you exactly? You don't look like any living thing I've seen before. For all I know, you could be some sort of monster or demon. Are you dangerous?
"I... am not dangerous... to you."
Well that's good to hear. I mean, I can't trust you at all, but if you're not planning anything bad then that's fine by me. Are you here for something unrelated? You don't happen to be lost or anything, do you?
Hmm, so you say you're not lost and you mean no harm. Why are you here? This place is usually deserted. Is there something interesting here?
"This... place... holds significance..."
Ah, I see. So you have some sort of purpose here. Interesting. What kind of significance does this place hold for you?
"A purpose... and significance... that is not yours to know..."
Hmph, fair enough. Well, I guess I can't force you to tell me anything. Just know that I'll be keeping an eye on you.
The humanoid figure nodded. "Very... well..." It turned around, and it started to sink back into the ground, forming the black ooze again.
Watches the figure sink back into the ground until it disappears completely Huh. Well that's strange. Never encountered something like that before. I wonder what it was.
With that, the figure was gone.
Hmm, well whatever it was, I hope it doesn't cause any trouble around here. But I guess that's not my problem. I'll just get back to what I was doing.
As he walked away, the red rain started to mix with the sand once more...
As he walks away, the wind begins to pick up again. The red rain starts mixing with the wind once more, creating big streaks of red across the sand. He shakes his head, and sighs Guess I'll never know what that thing was. Well, not like it did anything but stare at me anyway.
The red rain stopped again, as the ground started to shake once more. As the shaking stopped, something rose above the ground.
Turns around and looks at the new entity that has risen from the ground. He seems annoyed Ugh, I swear, this day just keeps getting better and better. Who are you?
It was the humanoid figure again, except it looked slightly different this time. "This is not your concern..."
Huh, again with this "this is not your concern" business. Look pal, I don't care if it's not my concern. I just want to know who you are and what you want. So far you've been very uncooperative. Now, are you going to answer my questions or am I going to have to forcefully make you talk?
"My purpose... is not yours to know, human..."
Hmph, well I'd really prefer if you just answered my questions. I mean, I'm trying to be polite here. But if you're going to keep being so stubborn, then I may have to take matters into my own hands. So I ask you again, who are you?
