The Villain's White Lotus Halo Chapter 1


Chapter 1: Prologue


As night fell, moonlight pa.s.sed through the immense French-styled window and spilled into the room. Between the alternating light and shadow, it made this place look increasingly more empty and desolate.


The salesperson intern Liu XiaoDai lay on top of his office desk. He was bored to death as he fiddled with a gla.s.s bead, throwing it up and down. On the other hand, he was frequently checking his watch as he waited to get off of work.


Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in. A brightly coloured advertis.e.m.e.nt flier was swirled up high as the sound of flapping paper filled the air, creating a scene that almost looked like a flock of b.u.t.terflies flying upward.


Liu XiaoDai's eyes widened before he stood up in such a panic, he almost overturned his swivel chair.


This was because a dazzling light abruptly burst out of the shadows at the end of the hallway.


As if one had thrown a rock into a calm pond, the air began to slightly fluctuate. Unexpectedly, a vague silhouette began emerging from the brilliant light. As the outline of this silhouette slowly became clearer, the light also began dimming.


It was only now did Liu XiaoDai clearly see what the silhouette was. This was the figure of a grown man. He was quite tall and he held his back very straight, however, he was also rather thin.


From the light's very depth, he walked out step by step. His pace seemed to implicitly agree with some kind of strange rhythm, and the distance between each step was exactly the same.


Finally, the man stood right in front of him. His appearance was very handsome, but his expression looked completely apathetic.


Liu XiaoDai believed he had seen many remarkable people. As a result from working in this company, he had seen luxurious yet dignified people, talented and elegant people, distant and haughty n.o.bles, quiet and cold immortals, and even the most extravagant yet alluring demons. All of the different types of people one could imagine, from the most ultimately charming and beautiful types born from either the light or darkness, they have all been here before.


However, he had never seen someone like this.


His appearance wasn't extremely magnificent, but the light in his eyes looked more like the streaks of light found in the depths of a big ocean or an abyss. In addition, an innate alienation type of feeling engulfed the man's whole body, as if he himself had become part of a different universe.


Although he was currently right in front of his eyes, it felt more like he was standing high above in the clouds.


If the veteran of watching people act like a pretentious p.r.i.c.k, Cheng XiaoBai, was here, he would surely give Liu XiaoDai a hard slap and yell, "Wake up XiaoDai! This guy is merely an accomplished poser! Can't you see the barrage of roasting comments that are rolling across his mental screen in his heart!?"


As if he had really been slapped awake, after blanking for a moment, Liu XiaoDai immediately recovered. Ah, this was probably the first business deal he would make in his career! Thus, Liu XiaoDai hurriedly extended his hand for a handshake and said, "h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo!"


Then, he remembered that the other person was presently a soul and therefore couldn't touch any living person. He was truly lacking in manners! Liu XiaoDai once again hastily withdrew his hand before pushing a swivel chair toward the other person.


"Please take a seat! Let me introduce myself, I'm called Liu XiaoDai. I'm a salesperson from the villain department of the 'Rebirth Company'……no, wait, I ought to first introduce the company. Mister, you are a customer prompted here by fate. Our company slogan is 'one single-mindedly devoted to rebirth. In thirty years, there would inevitably be a life suitable for you'! Here, take a look……"


Liu XiaoDai took out a multi-coloured pamphlet from his desk. After blowing off the dust, he respectively handed it over.


The person in front of him slowly sat down, his gaze calm.


"Mister, how should I address you?"


Unexpectedly, the man's voice was quite gentle. "I am a villain."


Liu XiaoDai choked a bit, "I was asking for your……name?"


A trace of disappointment appeared on that man's face. "For as long as I could remember, I've been transmigrating between different stories. School campus plays, ariscrotic big shot family dramas, ancient palace shows, trade wars, martial arts, entertainment circles. Both my name and my ident.i.ty has changed numerous times. Contrary to what you may expect, my lines are virtually the same, and I don't have many scenes. After I die, I'll get the chance to see the script, only to realize then that 'the existence of minor characters is nothing more than this'. In short, I am a villain."


He sat upright and proper, while his speaking tone was neither fast nor too slow. It was evident that he had an excellent upbringing. However, Liu XiaoDai was rather stumped for words. In his internship period, he had always been following after a senior as he accepted orders. Unfortunately, he had never met someone with this kind of situation before.


The boss left a single 'door' open in a sea of thousands. Under certain, coincidental circ.u.mstances, a soul would have the opportunity to pa.s.s through it and transmigrate. If they payed with a part of their soul, they would be able to obtain the things they would like.


However, there was a restrictive seal on that 'door', one that will automatically reject certain souls. For example, those souls that were too powerful, too evil, or the ones that contained too much resentment. As the boss had once said, earning a fortune was good, but one still needed a life to enjoy it.


Originally, Liu XiaoDai thought this person was some kind of important figure. Only those people surrounded with a heavy presence of fate would have such a compact soul filled with so much essence. However, it seemed like this was because, for some unknown reason, this man had been repeatedly transmigrating. It was only after hard work and numerous tries, for this person's soul to become like this.


That person saw Liu XiaoDai staring blankly and couldn't help but ask, "Saying it like that, do you understand what I mean?"


He understood! How could Liu XiaoDai not understand?!


Wasn't it just, 'xx thrust out his palm and immediately, xx slapped a crowd of disciples to death'?? More specifically, he was just one of the unlucky disciples in that crowd!


However, this didn't really matter as long as there was profit to be made. Liu XiaoDai quickly adjusted his expression and plastered on the salesperson smile he had probably practiced more than ten thousand times before asking, "Mister Villain, what type of service do you require?"


The man lowered his gaze. A beautiful hand with distinct joints pointed to the flier. "Am I capable of getting anything on this?"


Liu XiaoDai suddenly felt extremely excited, like he had been shot with some chicken blood!


"Of course! Rebirth would be twenty-percent off, counter-attacking would be ten-percent off, rebirth plus counter-attacking would be eleven-percent off! And if you redeem another three points! You could even receive a custom made 'Villain Counterattack Service Package' and enter the Rebirth Company's Luxury Streaming VIP list!!"


"I want to become the final BOSS, the greatest villain. Is that also possible?"


A big order ah! Liu XiaoDai was so excited, his words were becoming a bit unclear. "Yes, it's possible! We even have a 'Fiend's Halo'! Block G.o.ds, slaughter G.o.ds! Block Buddha, slaughter Buddha! Give anyone eight years or younger a single glance and they will weep!"


The man frowned faintly, looking unsatisfied, before he asked in a deep tone, "……Isn't this the same as writing 'I am a bad person' on my face?"


With something like that, how was he supposed to embody how a villain has many depths, and how he had many sides to his character? This halo was so unprofessional.


Liu XiaoDai hastily explained, "No, no, no! You must plaster on a villain's standard expression, like a 'super cold smile' or 'gaze like a knife' and say a villain's standard line 'I was never some kind of a good person' before the halo can activate. Uh……of course, there's also a possibility of it activating in certain situations……"


Liu XiaoDai's eyes glistened with light as he marketed his product. "How is it, Mister? Do you want one?"


The man smiled faintly. "Hit me with one!"


"Mister, you have fabulous eyesight! In addition, our company currently has a promotion going on, so I can gift you a Villain Counterattack Service Package completely free of charge!!"


However, the man shook his head. "No, I don't wish to counterattack."


In their current society, there was actually a villain who didn't want to counterattack?


"Mister……this is really free of charge, we……"


Mister Villain interrupted him for the first time. "I know. Thank you for your kindness, but it really is unnecessary."


Liu XiaoDai still wanted to persuade him a bit more, however, he suddenly remembered the advice his senior had told him regarding 'respecting a customer's demands' and could only nod his head.


When he brought Mister Villain to the technological department, the sky outside the French-styled window was dark. It was already the time when lanterns were first lit


The technician intern w.a.n.g WeiZheng was currently tidying up things in preparation to get off of work. When he was just about to close his machine, Liu XiaoDai took a huge stride forward to block him. "Dear hero, please wait a moment! I received an order!"


w.a.n.g WeiZheng's eyes suddenly brightened.


After a long-winded explanation, w.a.n.g WeiZheng violently nodded his head. "For a villain, choosing the right protagonist is extremely important! Coincidentally, a few moments ago I had been a bit idle and bored. Thus, I started randomly changing channels and just so happened to see a protagonist who looked pretty good."


When he finished speaking, he pulled the two of them to the front of a bright screen floating in midair.


The vast sky was clear and blue, while the lofty mountains extending forever into the distance seemed to be a piece of pure, transparent jade. Far away, a crane flew in the sky as mist billowed over the lands.


Within the light and dark colours of bluish green, the small dot of pure white was extremely dazzling.


A teenager walked on a path in the mountains. The morning dew that had not yet dried dampened the hem of his robe. Suddenly, a woman wearing a purple dress appeared in front of him. Her eyes were lowered and she seemed to be in a rush, thus, she inadvertently ran into that teenager's shoulder. Stumbling two steps and seeming as if she was going to fall, she was stabilized by a pair of steady and strong hands that supported her.


Then, she saw that teenager quickly back away to a proper distance. His appearance looked gentle as he smiled faintly, looking like jade that emitted light. It made the woman's powdery face reveal the colours of spring as she became extremely shy. Lifting the hem of her dress, she walked down the mountain while looking back every other step.


"Look, look! This figure, this appearance, this temperament! It has to be the protagonist, you can't mistake that!"


Liu XiaoDai sighed with feeling. "He's not even afraid of meeting someone who would deliberately crash into him so they could demand compensation! He actually dares to support anyone like that, such a genuine strong man!"


w.a.n.g WeiZheng looked deeply touched. "Nowadays, eight out of ten protagonists blackened as they rush to get revenge. Another one is a yandere with no hopes of recovering. A humble, utterly sincere and righteous protagonist is harder to find  compared to trying to find a three! Legged! Frog!"


Three legged frogs provide prosperity and wealth.
The man attentively watched the bright screen and unconsciously approached two steps closer, as if he wanted to discover just where this white-clothed teenager looked similar to a frog. On the other hand, he silently criticized. Common ah! This melodramatic scene devised so the protagonist could hit on a girl, just saying it was something common should make the author feel honoured. When he thought this, he unexpectedly began reaching his hand toward that bright screen……


Suddenly, a dazzling and bright light exploded in front of his eyes!


"Shoot! I just linked this thing to the transmigration machine!"


w.a.n.g WeiZheng jumped up to go and turn off the machine, however, it was already too late. The man's figure was quickly becoming transparent.


"Wait Mister! Your halo——"


Liu XiaoDai reached out a hand and tossed the thing he was holding. A sparkling and shining white ring transformed into a stream of light before entering the man's body. In just a breath's time, the bright screened turned off as everything settled, the surroundings completely silent.


The remaining two people stared at each other in dismay. After quite a while, w.a.n.g WeiZheng mumbled, "Does that mean this order is completed?"


Liu XiaoDai felt a bit guilty. "It……it should be?"


"I would never have expected us two interns to actually have a day where we partic.i.p.ate in something big!"


Liu XiaoDai suddenly thought of something and said, "Hurry up and connect back to that world! Let's see what happened!"


"Alright, alright…….uh, I can't connect back……that 'door'…closed……"
