Deviant: No Longer Human

Chapter 238 - 238: The True Guardians! (5)

Aurora, "...You won't take my word for it, so why not conduct a little experiment? Try cutting off a finger—or, if you're feeling bold, a leg."

"..."

Wang Xiao's silence stretched as he mulled over Aurora's proposition, his mind wrestling with the implications of what she suggested.

What kind of game was she playing?

And more importantly, what were the rules?

"If it doesn't heal, I'll heal it for you," Aurora offered, seemingly unfazed by the gravity of her own suggestion.

Wang Xiao broke his silence, his curiosity piqued despite his reservations. "Show me," he demanded.

"Huh?" Aurora blinked, taken aback. "Show you what?"

"Prove that you can heal a severed finger," Wang Xiao clarified, his gaze fixed on her,

Using his psychokinetic abilities, Wang Xiao maneuvered the severed toe back into place.

Whoosh!

To his amazement, a stream of soothing, almost ethereal water enveloped the wound, mirroring the experience with his hand. Within moments, not only was the toe reattached, but Wang Xiao also regained full sensation and movement.

"What the—?!" Wang Xiao exclaimed, his rational mind fighting with the impossibility of what had just occurred.

It was clear to him that this healing wasn't Aurora's doing; the absence of water during her own demonstration was proof of that.

"That's Mimi," Aurora explained, her voice carrying a note of fondness. "She's one of us."

"One of you???" Wang Xiao echoed, his curiosity piqued.

Aurora's smile widened slightly. "I'm not sure how you two crossed paths, but she's using your body as a host. She's never done that before, as it poses a risk to her own existence. You could potentially kill her, which means she has chosen you. I find that amusing."

Wang Xiao's eyes twitched at the revelation. "How does this Mimi look?" he inquired, eager to understand more about the entity that had seemingly chosen him as a host.

"She's beautiful," Aurora began, her description painting the image of an ethereal being. "Her skin is like that of a real fairy, untouched..."

Bewildered with the vague description, Wang Xiao pressed for more tangible details. "Can you tell me something more useful?"

Aurora nodded, her gaze thoughtful. "Her hair reflects the rainbow."

"Rainbow?" Wang Xiao repeated.

!!!

The girl on the ship!

The mention of 'rainbow hair" caused a lightbulb moment for Wang Xiao.

That mysterious encounter suddenly made sense.

Aurora watched his realization unfold, a subtle shift in her demeanor suggesting she was gauging his reaction.

"You remember her?" Aurora probed, her voice carrying a blend of curiosity and caution.

"Yes," Wang Xiao confirmed, his mind racing to piece together the implications of this discovery.

Aurora simply nodded, her expression unreadable, choosing not to delve deeper into his memories.

Wang Xiao pressed on, driven by a need to understand the bizarre situation he found himself in. "You said she is one of you. What does that mean, and how can she live inside my body without me noticing?"

The concept that Mimi could inhabit his body so seamlessly was baffling, especially considering Yin Yue's silence on the matter.
