After Jiang Xueming finished the invasive surgery, he explained the specific situation of his little finger to his partners and teachers, and immediately ran to the reception room of the sanatorium to sleep.
He hadn't slept for over thirty hours and needed to recharge his brain.
Xue Ming harbored no deep-seated hatred for the little finger.
Taking the law into his own hands to punish this teenager was Xue Ming's selfish motive.
It's not about fighting for Bailu's honor, or demanding blood for revenge.
To explain in detail--
--Actually, like Xue Ming, Little Finger was also a child raised by human traffickers.
However, fate is cruel the Hand of Omnipotence's method of buying and selling people is rather unique. It uses Madness Butterfly as bait, and the people it adopts are also vulnerable groups.
Xue Ming was a man of simple desires and a tranquil mind; his thoughts were very simple.
The little finger is only seventeen years old this year.
When Xue Ming was seventeen, Brother Ye Bei lent him a helping hand and let him deliver food.
This job looks simple, but it's actually incredibly complex. It's completely different from the work I did in the battery factory.
Earlier, the Third Squad work schedule at the battery factory caused Xue Ming's physical health to collapse and his mental state to deteriorate.
On the cold production line, no matter how well or carefully he did his work, he could hardly feel any connection between these semi-finished parts and himself; labor became a kind of suffering.
However, when Jiang Xueming started delivering food, he could clearly feel that the back-and-forth travel in the city was meaningful. When he handed over goods to customers and delivered milk tea and snacks, he would see smiling faces or often hear a "thank you".
This is very important, extremely important.
It's as if the wind and rain on the road are no longer bad weather, but challenges blocking the way.
He had once envisioned --
--Without this job, there would be no Brother Ye Bei.
Perhaps he will accept his adoptive parents' values, bow down and compromise with life, and completely become a different person.
As for what kind of person they will become, that's hard to say.
If you're a bit dull, you'll continue to be a lamb to the slaughter.
If you're clever enough, you'll imitate them and commit crimes.
If Jiang Bailu really was sold to the mountains at the age of fourteen.
Jiang Xueming could do nothing. His closest relatives, whom he depended on for survival, turned into a stack of banknotes. They became the favors bestowed upon Jiang Xueming by his adoptive parents, the clothes he wore, and a good meal.
That's another form of cannibalism.
He's looking at himself from an outsider's perspective, so it's hard to say what kind of cold-blooded and cruel person this little guy will eventually become.
But there are no "what ifs".
There are no "what ifs".
Like Teacher Zongzhu, Little Finger is of mixed race.
But this child's family situation is even more complicated.
My father was a gambler who sought pleasure, and he was Chinese.
My mother was a prostitute who worked for a casino; she was Australia.
The little finger is born with intersex characteristics, meaning it is both male and female.
Because of the mother's profession, the child was born in a very harsh environment. In the dark corners of the world, there are many places that harbor filth and evil.
It's more appropriate to refer to the little finger as "[He/Her]".
The previous Little Finger of the Hand of Omnipotence took in this homeless, uncared-for, deformed child and raised him. When he was thirteen, he was inoculated with the Vita Imprint and awakened his shattered soul power in just two short years.
The previous little finger naturally became the ring finger.
He walks the underworld under the names Paul Brooke and Feng Jiali, continuing to spread the Vita Imprint and help young children in gratitude for the grace of the Hand of Omnipotence.
This kind of charity work seems reasonable, but in reality, it makes no sense at all.
This appeasement and compromise towards the abandonment of children is like a buyer's market in the human trafficking process.
When people abandon their children, any lingering concerns or reluctance may be dispelled by unfounded fantasies.
"Perhaps the Hand of Omnipotence can help this poor child and grant him a stroke of good fortune."
This is not doing good; it is condoning crime.
The Hand of Omnipotence only takes care of adoption and never inquires about the child's family, not even giving them a chance to sever this ill-fated relationship.
Occasionally, even more shameless parents, seeing that their abandoned child has gained the power of a shattered soul and acquired the divine power of creation, will return to demand the return of their own flesh and blood, which they had originally intended to discard.
The Hand of Omnipotence couldn't even protect itself.
--We can only hand over the fruits of our labor.
It is an ancient and primitive brotherhood, a fundamentalist Religious order bound together by the Madness Butterfly, whose doctrines are long outdated.
Compared to the Abyssal Railway--
--The Nine Realms Station delivers a gift package of Radiant Stone Sticks, waiters act as soulmates, and various schools of thought assign jobs.
In contrast to the derivative cults of the Madness Butterfly --
--The Skull and Bones Society will provide Dragon Blood Beast Tri-Elemental Essence; at worst, they'll have guns, bullets, Universal Elixir, and Guangling San buns.
The Hand of Omnipotence could only watch helplessly as the members he had painstakingly recruited, after obtaining the Shattered Soul Power, were very likely to become members of other cults, or simply run off to the train station to seek a happier life.
In the end, only five people remained.
This also includes the little finger that has just abdicated.
Their business scope is shrinking due to the relentless tide of the times.
The vulnerable now have more ways to survive and more choices.
The ascetic with the Hand of Omnipotence remained steadfast in his teachings, believing that his ascetic practices would be rewarded accordingly.
But reality is cruel--
Like the [anonymous] at the station, the Hand of Omnipotence is about to disappear.
While taking care of the children at Xinwen Orphanage, Little Finger also has to worry about the living expenses for the following month.
He lived in fear on the surface world, and dared not use his soul power to amass wealth except by giving orders with his Thumb. Without money, he had no ability to gather more intelligence, nor did he have guns and bullets to arm himself.
The first thing this teenager said when he was caught sounded like a feeble explanation from a criminal in a panic.
"In short, I deeply regret it."
Little finger is very young, unlike the other members of the Hand of Omnipotence.
Young people possess limitless potential; their beliefs can crumble easily, but they can also be easily rebuilt.
Jiang Xueming was simply doing what Brother Ye Bei had done before.
--Perhaps we could reserve a mental health clinic for this excellent doctor at [JoeStar].
People who travel to the underworld can not only heal their physical wounds through this divine power, but may also see the world from another gender and another perspective.
From the little finger's statement, Jiang Xueming also learned another thing.
The Thumb of the Hand of Omnipotence had long harbored thoughts of renunciation, but a gambler's mentality made the leader appear indecisive, struggling to survive between the various Blood Butterfly sects and the Station School.
The reason they initially chose Jiang Xueming's three-elemental qualities was to select a strong and capable leader to succeed Thumb in his position.
Thumb had considered backing out more than once, wanting to take a bold gamble with the other members.
Jiang Bailu contracted an illness, which became the new little finger.
Jiang Xueming was infected and subsequently became the new Thumb.
A reshuffling of members and an expansion of the organization are generally good things.
However, this last illusion was shattered by the interference of the Nine Realms Station.
The Hand of Omnipotence design efforts ironically resulted in Jiang Xueming, an extremely rare card, being given to Ming De.
When Jiang Xueming explained these things to Weizhi, Weizhi's faith crumbled.
At this moment, Xiao Qi and Bu Liuxing are sitting in a ward in the inpatient department.
The little finger is depicted as a woman, sitting on a hospital bed.
Bailu also lay in this hospital bed.
Meteor held his gun up seriously, determined to keep an eye on this dangerous guy.
Before going to sleep, Ming Ge said that anyone with Soul Power should not be underestimated.
Xiao Qi's expression was complicated; she didn't know what to say and could only listen.
She's someone who's been to prison.
--Many perpetrators in jail were once victims themselves.
Xiao Qi wouldn't see heinous criminals with unwavering resolve; the BOSS would take them to feed the Madness Butterfly, turning them into food for White Lady, or simply throw them into Place of Exile.
Little Finger's emotions gradually calmed down. He kept tugging at the blankets and looking at Bu Liuxing and Xiao Qi with great curiosity, feeling very awkward.
But this awkward situation can't continue indefinitely.
Meteor spoke first, breaking the awkward silence.
"What exactly did Ming Ge say to you? What did he do?"
The pinky finger recalled the conversation on the operating table.
He told me.
"This matter was originally very simple."
"Mr. Xue Ming's three-elemental constitution is very special. Thumb was the first person to discover him. If you want to recruit him, Thumb should give him a proper job, at least better than selling offal, and take care of his family. The job should have some prospects and room for advancement."
"But we chose the longest route."
"It went almost in the opposite direction and there was no turning back."
Xiao Qi immediately said, "That's right! It's something that any ordinary person can understand: pay first, then work. Don't you guys understand such a simple principle?"
"This is a tradition of the Madness Butterfly Sect." Little Finger thought for a moment, then finally added the last two words: "Bad custom."
The little finger continued, "We regard the Vita Imprint as a gift from the Madness Butterfly. To imprint a brand on someone is to plant a divine blessing. The other fingers think the same way; we want to give Jiang Bailu the best gift, something more precious than money."
Xiao Qi interrupted, "Do you still think so now, little sister Jiali?"
Little Finger: "After I finished speaking, Mr. Jiang Xueming wouldn't let me continue."
Meteor chuckled, "Ming Ge is a straightforward person; he'll definitely scold you."
Little Finger nodded. "His mouth is hurtful."
Xiao Qi: "What did Xue Ming say?"
He covered his face with his pinky finger, composed himself, and mimicked Xue Ming's tone. "If you don't have money, don't get involved in pyramid schemes. You can't even come up with a classic case study like a clay idol. Do you think you can get rich by following the Hand of Omnipotence? Even charitable foundations know how to use shell companies to make money these days. You need to be well-fed and clothed to have the strength to protect yourself. How can you help others if you can't even protect yourself? Wake up! I'm going to start operating on you!"
Meteor: "And then?"
Little finger. "He destroyed my spirit, and he destroyed my body."
Xiao Qi felt increasingly uneasy as she listened, and seeing the admiring look on Little Finger's face, she felt a chill creep down her spine.
Clasp your little fingers together, as if you are praying.
"I think this surgery was a test from God. The pain of the displaced organs, the excruciating pain of the scalpel cutting through my skin and muscles, almost drove me crazy. But Mr. Xue Ming still held my hand and told me to stay awake."
"All I could see was a cold, impersonal mask and muffled voices. He wanted me to face reality, to live on, to live in the real world every single moment."
"His exquisite anatomical techniques neither rendered the organs dysfunctional nor caused me to experience the excruciating pain of skinning, tendon-pulling, bone-crushing, and marrow-sucking—I was terrified. In the face of the cold knife, even gods are illusory and shatter. I couldn't even summon my soul power; I had to rely on another body to cope with this pain."
"We evade and shirk responsibility, wanting only to pass this pain on to another version of ourselves. Suddenly we realize—we, too, have been wearing the mask of the Madness Butterfly, performing this kind of painful ritual on countless people."
"At that time, I even mistook Mr. Jiang Xueming for the Holy Father in the Blood Butterfly Bible —those cruel yet precise hands, that gentle and calm tone, captivated me."
Xiao Qi: "Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Meteor: "What's up with this girl?"
Xiao Qi: "Is it Stockholm syndrome?"
"No, it's not what you think. I don't think I need a second surgery. What's strange is that during the latter part of the autopsy, I felt a strange sense of peace—" Little Finger frowned and explained seriously, "—when Mr. Xue Ming operated on my body to simulate the suffering Jiang Bailu endured, I could feel his anxiety, as if I had really become his sister. That's what's truly incomprehensible to me; my mental world collapsed in an instant."
"I think the true nature of the Hand of Omnipotence is to send the Madness Butterfly as a tool to those suffering and disillusioned, turning it into another path to happiness."
"But the previous pinky saved me only to become the ring finger, and the ring finger saves others perhaps only to become the index finger—it has nothing to do with happiness itself."
"I would scold the kids and forbid them from climbing through the dog hole, but kids are naturally playful and curious—I don't care about their feelings; I'm just going through the motions. Like the previous pinky finger, I was just a human prop he used to get a promotion."
"But I could feel that the moment Mr. Xue Ming picked up the flesh and organs, my shattered soul power could vaguely sense the will within the threads of the spirit body."
"He wanted me to get better, he wanted me to do something more meaningful, he wanted my life to be real and full of passion—at the operating table, he saw me as another Bailu."
After Little Finger finished speaking, he displayed his Soul Power to Xiao Qi.
"This is my destiny, my [B-Side Life]."
It is a humanoid phantom constructed from broken mirrors, indistinguishable in gender, and its fragmented and distorted reflection can be seen in the curved mirror from different angles.
Its abilities have been witnessed by all. A tiny wound is cut by the fine, sharp mirror-like spirit, and contact with blood can activate its special abilities. It can turn men into women and women into men. It was born under the catalysis of the Vita Imprint and possesses the divine power of the White Lady. People who are attacked by the Soul Power can be healed if they have enough food in their stomach or sufficient body fat.
In just a few seconds, the shattered soul power of the little finger vanished.
Because she is in a female form, it is difficult for her to maintain the form of her soul power. She can only do so through a medium, such as a lemonade trick, by feeding the target with small fragments of the lens.
Using Paul Brook's male body, not only can the basic form of the Shattered Soul Power be maintained, but also the mirror butterfly can be created to track targets.
Seeing the fleeting Soul's Glory, the meteor immediately asked, "Where are my three teachers! You've caused them so much trouble, can you turn them back? And why did you turn them into women?"
He scratched his cheek with his pinky finger, a little embarrassed to say it aloud.
"I had no money, no listening devices, and no one willing to work for me—in the internet cafe salon at Junhao Shopping Mall, these three men mentioned Jiang Bailu, and I thought, I'll turn them into women, then follow the newspaper articles to find out about their families, pick someone who's easy to talk to, and negotiate with that person. If that person is willing to help me get close to Jiang Bailu, I'll turn them back and pay them extra."
Xiao Qi immediately asked excitedly, "Can it change back?"
Little Finger, unaware of the waiter's thoughts, simply nodded. "As long as I'm alive, there's a chance to revert back. Although my soul power lacks combat capabilities—a shattered lens would struggle to even cut through clothing—it can indeed transform a person's gender. For me, it requires no cost—but for others, it depends on their constitution, necessitating different sleep durations to heal wounds and illnesses before the transformation is complete."
Xiao Qi pouted. "With that ability, you would have become rich long ago if you had become a doctor."
Little Finger recalled the teachings of the other fingers, "The other fingers all say that our abilities are a gift from the Madness Butterfly, a kind of miracle. If we perform miracles too often, no one will respect us anymore, and they won't exchange this ability for mundane things."
Meteor rolled up his sleeves. "I'll join the cult right now! Come on! Draw a line for me."
Xiao Qi declared righteously, "A Xing! 3301 will be very sad!"
Meteor: "Anyway, I can turn back! I'm really curious! My mommy must be curious too! Aren't you curious?"
Xiao Qi's expression immediately changed, and she discussed with her little finger, "Could I have a piece of the lens? I want to go and discuss some academic issues with Xue Ming?"
Meteor said righteously, "Sister-in-law! If you do this, Ming Ge will be very sad!"
Xiao Qi chuckled and retorted, "Don't you want to know? Aren't you curious?"
Meteor still held the gun, aiming it at Little Finger's head. "At least we should wait until my three teachers have really turned back, right?"
Little finger is still young and doesn't understand what his older brothers and sisters are thinking.
At Xiao Qi's beckoning, the three teachers entered the large ward of the inpatient department one by one.
With expressions of both anticipation and relief, they could finally return to their normal lives.
Sister Wenlan first extended her hand and spoke to her little finger.
"Hurry up, change me back. My phone can't be unlocked, which is really getting in the way of making money."
The pinky finger immediately nodded and apologized. "I'm so sorry! I'm really so sorry!"
Immediately afterward, a flash of cold light appeared, and Wenlan's finger bore another wound.
Sister Wenlan immediately asked, "Is it over? I didn't see anything?"
Zong Zhu leaned closer and said, "That's strange! Just like when we drink lemonade, we can't see it!"
These people lack Inspiration and therefore cannot see spirits, just like the spirit markings on train tickets. Ordinary people cannot see the power of spirits either.
Little Finger then said to Zong Zhu, who was about to launch a soul-power attack, "Brother, I'm sorry."
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" Li Zongzhu gesticulated wildly, feigning defensiveness. "Give me some time to prepare!"
The little finger immediately stopped moving and waited quietly.
The golden retriever took several deep breaths, then took out her phone and sent a voice message to her eldest apprentice.
"I'll change back right now, so be normal! Do you hear me? We're master and disciple! There's no need to make things so tense, right?"
"If you ever say anything weird to me again, or do anything strange during stretching, in the locker room, or in the bathhouse—and try to slap me in the face with your tuition fees, I'd rather be a woman my whole life!"
After saying Teacher Zongzhu threw her phone like a grenade, which landed right in Wenlan's arms.
Li Zongzhu casually stretched out his arm, looking like he was bravely going to his execution. "Alright! I'm ready."
He changed the gesture with his little finger, preparing to unleash his soul power.
Zong Zhu immediately shouted, "Wait! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
Pinky: "What's wrong, bro?"
Zong Zhu: "I can still come to see you in the future, right?"
Little finger. "Sure, I can give you my contact information."
Zong Zhu: "Alright! Let's go!"
The little finger then assumes a posture, ready to perform a ritual.
Zong Zhu: "Wait a minute!"
Xiao Qi frowned, unable to bear watching Teacher Zongzhu's repeated sudden stops.
Meteor analyzed logically and persuasively. "It must have taken a lot of courage. After Teacher Zongzhu found out that Senior Brother was gay, it took him a lot of determination to turn back into a man."
Li Zongzhu then asked Little Finger, "How much will it cost for me to transform once? This service of yours will be charged in the future, right? Jiang Xueming told me before that he wanted to recruit you to work at the club, treating people's illnesses and injuries."
Little Finger: "Mr. Xue Ming mentioned this?"
Li Zongzhu: "That's right."
Little Finger: "I don't know how much it will cost either. You can discuss the fees with Mr. Xue Ming. I trust him."
Teacher Zongzhu lingered over the female form, reluctant to leave, wanting to take a few more glances, as if in a farewell ritual. "Alright, come on!"
With a gentle slash, the lens left a wound on Zong Zhu's arm.
Finally, it was Teacher Baoquan's turn.
--The chubby woman covered the phone, discussing something with her wife.
"Hey Wenwen, I can turn back now, can I turn back?"
"Is it not allowed? Is it really not allowed?"
"But I still have to go back to work."
"Don't be angry, I promise you, I'll never be so sloppy again."
"Yes, I love you, but we can't live off the Roman Emperor forever, right?"
"I'm not being arrogant. I didn't say the Roman Emperor was bad."
"Okay, okay, I'll change back right away."
The pinky finger then nodded apologetically. "I'm sorry! I've caused trouble for your life and marriage."
Bao Quan shook his head vigorously, chuckling, "It's not much trouble. My wife is quite happy. It's just that I'm not."
Wenlan rolled her eyes. "You were so happy when you laughed at my makeup that you were practically distorted with joy."
Zong Zhu stuck out her tongue. "That's right. Of the three of us, you're the hottest."
Teacher Baoquan was both amused and exasperated, and in the end, he transformed all his humility into deep love for his wife.
At this time, Li Zongzhu was extremely immoral.
--I pushed the WeChat icon from my pinky finger to Sister Wenwen.
The lens grazed Teacher Baoquan's arm.
This absurd, outrageous, and bizarre story will have a conclusion within twelve hours.
Wenlan said succinctly, "Let's go!"
Zong Zhu: "Where to?"
Wenlan: "Last time, before we fell asleep, we had to eat a lot of things and shed our fur and skin. There's a big public bathhouse downstairs from my house, let's have a good meal together."
Bao Quan chimed in, "Too bad today isn't Crazy Thursday."
I'd like to ask a few more questions about my little finger.
--Because He couldn't figure out whether these three should go into the men's or women's bathhouse, or what they would do when they came out.
But A Xing said it's okay, so it's okay then.
After all, the three teachers were adults, socially adept individuals skilled in survival. All they had to do was avoid being beaten to death after escaping from the women's bathhouse.
After settling things with the three teachers.
Meteor and Xiao Qi kept rubbing their hands together, begging Little Finger for the Soul Power Lens.
The pinky finger and the shooting star asked, "Are you really going to do this?"
Meteor: "Do I need to sign some kind of agreement or something? Or does this ceremony have an anti-addiction system? Do my parents need to sign anything?"
Little Finger shook his head, his expression turning awkward. "No, it's because I've been hermaphroditic since I was little. My mother looked at me like I was a monster and abandoned me—some people found me, thinking I was a healthy child, and then gave me away. These people looked at me like I was something dirty."
He explained to Meteor in detail, "I don't know what adults are thinking, but Mr. Bu Liuxing, why did you choose to become a woman? Perhaps in other people's eyes, you will become a monster that is neither male nor female. The soul power attack I exerted on you may cause you trouble."
"I'm not afraid of trouble! I'm just curious!" Meteor handed the pistol to Xiao Qi, asking him to help with the watch, "Wow! I saw several teachers, from head to toe, practically stuffed back into their mothers' wombs to be reborn—I felt ants crawling all over me! If, nineteen years ago, the baby in Mommy's belly was actually a girl, instead of me now, what would the other me be like? I'm so curious!"
The Lapis Lazuli Wolf Mother is a good example.
--Everyone was a woman for a period of time before they were born.
Meteor had a strong curiosity about this kind of thing.
Unlike Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi was simply lustful and wanted Xue Ming's male body, wouldn't it be double the lust and double the pleasure if he had a female body?
Little Finger said cautiously, "I understand your thoughts. But I still want to ask clearly, Mr. Bu Liuxing, do your family members agree to this? I can't act as recklessly as before. Without the guidance of the Finger Brothers, I must take responsibility for my actions."
A Xing immediately opened his phone and showed the chat history to Little Finger.
[A Xing: Mommy, Mommy, are you there?]
[DaMeiMei: Your mom's here!]
[A Xing: Mommy! I want to be a woman!]
[DaMeiMei: Transform for me!]
[A Xing: Mommy, don't you care at all?]
[DaMeiMei: You haven't changed, so why should I care? We'll talk about it when you've changed.]
[A Xing: Okay!]
Little Finger felt his Madness Index was incredibly high during this chat.
I don't really understand; I've thought about it for a long time but still don't get it.
Finally, a cut was made on A Xing's arm.
When A Xing saw the wound on his arm, he suddenly started screaming like a schoolchild excitedly learning that he was going on a field trip the next day. He ran out the door as fast as he could, wanting to tell Ming Ge the good news, but he disappeared in no time.
Then Xiao Qi began to patiently and earnestly persuade and entice.
"I want to... sneakily stab my employer."
The little finger immediately said, "No, times have changed. I've experienced this kind of discrimination, and I can't just impose this pain on others."
Xiao Qi: "Hey! Anyway, I can turn back!"
Little Finger shook his head again. "No, I will never do this if Mr. Xue Ming himself does not agree."
Xiao Qi offered her price. "What if I attack you with money?"
With a serious and persistent expression, he said, "This isn't about money; it's about morality. How could I do something so underhanded to Mr. Xue Ming?"
Xiao Qi added, "If you have money, you can take care of all the babies in the orphanage. If you have the ability to protect yourself, you can help others."
Little Finger shook his head. "That's not right. Brother Thumb told me that ill-gotten gains are not to be taken, as they will bring trouble. But Brother Thumb later told me to do something unjust to Jiang Bailu, and sure enough, it brought trouble."
Xiao Qi gritted her teeth. "Why are all the people in your organization such idiots?"
"Actually," Little Finger muttered, "If they weren't like that, they might have given up on the Hand of Omnipotence long ago. I'm the youngest, and I've only been using the Hand of Omnipotence for seven or eight years. I think the other fingers are probably more stubborn than me."
Xiao Qi is never one to give up easily.
--She held the gun and talked to Little Finger for more than two hours, using both soft and hard tactics.
When they couldn't reach an agreement with the Jiali, they asked Paul Brook to step in and help them, but ultimately no agreement was reached.
During this time, Bu Liuxing returned twice, wanting to grab someone to go out for a big meal, but he couldn't find Jiang Xueming.
A Xing originally remembered--
--Ming Ge was asleep on the sofa in the living room.
Three hours have passed, and there's still no idea where Ming Ge has gone.
When it was time for dinner, Meteor felt very hungry, so he ran home, ate his fill, and went to sleep. Xiao Qi was left alone to watch over Little Finger.
Seventh Brother stopped daydreaming and started talking about serious matters with Little Finger.
"I will send you back to the Nine Realms Station. The Polarized Sextant will conduct a mind check on you, and the BOSS will commission David Victor to investigate your criminal record and use Victor Soul Power to see through your past."
Pinky: "Hmm"
Xiao Qi continued, "Relax, you need to take the first step in a brand new life."
Little Finger's expression was complicated. "I don't know what to say. The Abyssal Railway should be very sensitive to the followers of the Madness Butterfly Cult. I've prepared for the worst. Perhaps people will continue to discriminate against me, treating me like a freak, just like before."
Xiao Qi burst into laughter. "Hahahaha! You actually dared to call yourself a freak in front of the BOSS? Hahahaha!"
Little Finger looked dazed. "Is something wrong? I always thought that the people at the station were very serious, mature and cold adults. They would look down on my crooked ways. The shattered soul power I gained by using the Madness Butterfly is something that people despise, right?"
Xiao Qi's expression turned very strange, as if she were looking at an alien creature.
The little finger stammered, "Is there something wrong?"
Xiao Qi took a train ticket out of her pocket and handed it to her little finger.
"A thousand words from me are no substitute for seeing it for yourself."
At that very moment--
Jiang Xueming pushed open the door and entered.
A strong smell of shampoo and sulfur soap immediately filled the air.
Xiao Qi turned her head and glanced at it, then immediately froze. She casually replied, "Bailu? What are you doing here?"
Jiang Xueming shook the water droplets off her head, her face not looking too friendly. She walked in carrying her coat and hung the Flash Butterfly Armor outfit behind the door.
Little Finger and Xiao Qi saw a young lady who looked very similar to Bailu walking towards them with incredible speed.
Her eyebrows and eyes were sharp, and her dark pupils could almost absorb light. Her face shape was similar to Bailu's, but healthier, taller, and thinner, reaching a height of 177 centimeters.
She somehow acquired a doctor's uniform, which made her appear even more aloof and indifferent.
She sat down next to Xiao Qi and took out her gun.
Seventh Brother: "Bailu?"
"Is Bailu this tall? Look closely, I'm your employer." Jiang Xueming took a pair of scissors from the bedside table and cut her hair in two, leaving only her earlobes.
Xiao Qi clutched her chest, her expression resembling that of Fan Wei acting opposite Zhao Benshan on the Spring Festival Gala.
"Ha!--"
Xue Ming said to Little Finger, "Change me back."
Xiao Qi immediately pressed closer. "When was it? When were you affected by the Soul Power?"
Xue Ming held up a finger and explained, "I cut my finger this morning while testing the coat. When I was performing surgery on Him, I accidentally got hit, and a fragment of Soul Power fell into the wound—stop talking nonsense and turn me back."
Xiao Qi stared intently at Xue Ming's face, a face that was both familiar and strange.
--She looks a lot like Bailu. If we were to sell her like an Apple phone, she should be called Bailu PLUS·PRO, a larger version of Bailu.
Xiao Qi quickly took out her phone to take pictures, afraid that this once-in-a-lifetime scene would slip away.
She immediately pressed her lips to Xue Ming's face and kissed him.
Xue Ming was furious. The changes in her body and brain, along with the hormonal fluctuations, all amplified her inner unease.
Faced with Xiao Qi's kissing onslaught, Xue Ming turned around and retaliated with a kiss of her own.
Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, then blushed and burst into laughter. "Hahahaha!"
--If it were her previous employer, she would never have argued with her over such a small matter.
"Is it funny?" Xue Ming didn't understand. He casually threw his hair into the trash can, stretched out his hand, and was attacked by the soul power of his little finger.
The pinky finger then apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Xiao Qi rolled around on the bed, clutching her stomach, yelling, "Hahahaha!"
She thought to herself that her employer's voice sounded really nice, as clear and bright as a violin.
"Excuse me, I need to quiet her down for a while. I feel like my brain isn't working properly. Hearing that kind of laughter makes me feel agitated and depressed." After saying this to Little Finger, Jiang Xueming immediately went to Seventh Brother's bed.
Xiao Qi felt Hot Wind hit her face, and her eyes widened in surprise.
He lost all consciousness in an instant, his heart felt like it was going to jump out of his throat.
She saw Xue Ming's face so close to hers, and felt the soft touch of their lips meeting.
Warm hands covered her head, a stark contrast to her usual cold and aloof employer.
She didn't know what this meant, or if it was a kiss she had rehearsed a thousand times in her dreams.
When her dream came true, it was like this.
Then, as expected, Ms. Bai Ziqing's brain shut down, her blood pressure rose, she had difficulty breathing, and she fainted.
Jiang Xueming wiped his mouth clean and muttered curses at his little finger.
"What did she have for lunch? Her lips are so greasy!"
Little Finger first glanced at the furious Ms. Jiang Xueming, then at the waiter Bai Ziqing, who had been subjected to a physical silencing spell.
Finally, let's talk about the little finger.
"She took my discounted char siu rice."

[Special Ability ① Glamorous Transformation: A phantom body resembling shattered glass, possessing the unique ability to alter the gender of an organism. Activation of this ability requires contact with the target's blood or entry into the target's circulatory system through mucous membranes.]
[Special Ability ② Fate's Trick: The target's physical disabilities or illnesses will disappear, like the healing effect of Universal Elixir. While healing injuries and illnesses, the sleep time and body fat energy consumed by the Glamorous Transformation will also increase, and conversely, it will accelerate the Glamorous Transformation process.]
