XG 142 - Wong Xue Guo was his little sister, not a test subject
Earlier, Chen Yibo had wisely unlocked the door after calling his elder brother, in case Wong Xue Guo's condition became worse and he had no time to unlock the door.
Chen YiWen paused when he saw their current pose, and silently thought that his puppy-like little brother had finally grown up to be a little wolf. Pausing for two seconds, Chin Chun took a glance at them and quickly came to the correct conclusion as he helped Chen Yibo to lift up Wong Xue Guo from the floor.
Chen Yibo finally realized just how meaningful their position was after his elder brother arrived.
Although nothing had happened, Chen Yibo still felt a little embarrassed for being caught in such a position. Thus, his actions were much more attentive as he helped Wong Xue Guo sit back up on the couch, this time having her back resting on the couch.
Taking in Wong Xue Guo's unusual black eyes, Chin Chun asked with a deep frown, "What happened to Xue Guo?"
He had heard of some tales of demonic possession, including the full black eyes. Those stories were treated as made-up stories to scare little kids, but Wong Xue Guo's current eyes gave him cold chills that penetrated deep into his bones.
"She was using her ability to move Mr Rabbit around when she suddenly stopped moving. Her consciousness seems to have entered the doll's." Chen Yibo picked up Mr Rabbit that had fallen to the ground again. He was lightly patting the dust away from the body when Mr Rabbit touched his hand.
"Xue Guo? Is your mind in Mr Rabbit again?" Chen Yibo quickly placed Mr Rabbit onto her lap again.
Wong Xue Guo actually does not want Chen Yibo to tell anyone about her naming the rabbit plushie as Mr Rabbit at all. It was a tiny thing she was only willing to share with Chen Yibo, as it was a rather childish thing to do.
Not that she could convey her feelings through body language, with her eyes still looking dazed, and silly, not that they could be seen from her scary black sclera. Her pupils were actually following Chen Yibo's movement, but they could not be seen, so she moved her head a little to show she was also in her body. Her hardware was in a lagging mode, but her software was working normally.
After Chen YiWen did some little tests, he confirmed that Wong Xue Guo was responsive, alert and knew what was going on.
Chin Chun sighed. "Luckily Godparents are not here, or else people would get hurt."
It was rather difficult to forget the hasty reception he received when he landed at Musihada Laboratory, as a person that was used to being greeted respectfully and attentively everywhere he went. His godparents and the rest of the gang members were busy delivering pain onto the group of people that harmed his Godsister, before tossing them out without caring for their lives after they grabbed onto a way to save Wong Xue Guo.
Very slowly, Wong Xue Guo moved her hand to touch Mr Rabbit. The moment they make contact, she felt as if the 'static' status finally became better, just like a TV that finally got a good reception.
She moved her gaze and met Chen Yibo's worried eyes. Her dull eyes became a little lively when the black colour was shrinking away, revealing the original whites of the sclera. "I could control the rabbit's movement as if I had direct control over it, like how I would usually move my body. I could also look from its eyes."
"Can you try to return your entire mind back to your body?" Chen YiWen asked.
"I will try," Wong Xue Guo answered slowly with a blank expression. "But since I'm already like this, why don't we also do some mild experiments?"
Chen Yibo immediately turned unhappy. "It's not the right time to do any more experiments. You need to learn how to get back your consciousness from Mr Rabbit first."
"I'm just going to move the doll around the apartment where my body could not see. Just to check to what extent I could 'see' from its eyes."
"Just one round. Then you will immediately try to get back your consciousness," Chen YiWen agreed.
"Brother!"
"This is Xue Guo's ability. If she continues being wary of it, she will never be able to control her ability well or even know the full extent of her ability. Accidentally using her ability and getting harmed by it is dangerous. Xue Guo had bravely volunteered to awaken her gene to be useful. Are you going to undermine her hard work?"
"I'm not! I just want her to go back to her own mind first. We don't know what are the side effects of her splitting her consciousness, and if the duration of it might cause harm to her. She could do the experiments the next time after we check if she's fine or not. Please don't forget she had just activated her gene today," Chen Yibo explained.
Feeling chastised by Chen Yibo's words, her previous decision came undone. She was indeed behaving rather too recklessly towards her unfamiliar ability. "Okay, I will test it next time."
Chen Yibo's unhappiness was immediately erased from his face as soon as she agreed with him.
Raising Mr Rabbit until her eye level matches the round, black pearl buttons, she stared at 'Wong Xue Guo' from his eyes, trying to mimic jumping back into her body through imagination.
Thank goodness, it worked.
The layer of a flimsy veil in her mind was pulled away and her eyes went back to normal as all her consciousness finally reunited in her body.
At the same time, the shadow entered Mr Rabbit emerged and snapped back into the rest of her shadow, like a stretched rubber band. The snap hurts, and the impact had her head snap backwards with a small cracking sound. It was good that she was leaning on the couch that was tall enough, or else her head would smack on the wall behind it.
Groaning from the pain, she hunched over as she clutched her aching temple.
Chen Yibo got down on his knees and had his fingers help her to knead her head. "Your head hurts?"
"Nnghh." The kneading helped her to bear the pain, but not reduce it.
"YiWen, do you have any painkillers?" Chin Chun asked.
"I have some on me."
Chen Yibo switched places with Chin Chun to let him knead her temple while he went to grab her water bottle. Taking two tablets, Wong Xue Guo waits until the medicine works, hopefully they do, while Chin Chun continues kneading her temple.
They keep an eye on her, not letting her sleep until the headache recedes. Around half an hour later, her headache finally subsided, and the frown on her face finally relaxed.
Chen Yibo went to look for a towel and helped her wipe the sweat on her forehead. The headache must be hard to withstand, for her to break out a sweat.
Nana was called to come over to watch over Wong Xue Guo, just in case she had a relapse. As expected, Smoker followed his girlfriend over.
"Yibo, Nana is here to look after Xue Guo," Chen YiWen lightly patted his younger brother's back.
"I will stay for a bit longer."
Chen YiWen could see that his younger brother was very concerned about Wong Xue Guo.
He felt a little apologetic after seeing Wong Xue Guo's pained state. He had been thinking of finding out more about her ability than considering if she could take it or not. He had also taken it for granted that she was fine when she did not complain about anything, especially when she was the one that made the suggestion first.
Wong Xue Guo was his little sister, not a test subject that he could have them continue the experiment or not based on their physical readings.
