Chapter 558 Extracted

[Hehe, that's because this is only a small fragment of your soul. Therefore, it's your choice, and thus, in your subconscious, it directly transforms into the basic form of a human being.]

However, perhaps because it desired to transform into a true human form but lacked the energy and ability, it naturally morphed into a slightly thicker form. Thus, it ultimately took on this gingerbread man-like appearance.

Moros smiled slightly and patiently explained to Lin Xiyue.

After explaining, he extended a finger and decisively probed into the faint light, as if poking into the surface of water, and went straight in, while the solution was still blocked outside.

Melos's fingers gently touched the "gingerbread man" that contained a part of Lin Xiyue's soul, stroking its head and rubbing it slowly.

The gingerbread man initially looked like a real cookie, lying quietly in the opened paper package without making a sound.

However, when Meros gently touched it, its eyes, which were originally like slits, suddenly turned into two small dots as if by magic, as if it had suddenly opened its eyes.

Faced with this situation, Meros quietly observed the "gingerbread man's" reaction, patiently waiting for its next move.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the "gingerbread man" began to make a move.

It first moved its short hands slightly, then stretched them back as if trying to support its upper body.

Then, its two equally short legs bent, and its entire body formed a peculiar "N"-shaped sitting posture from head to toe.

After completing this series of actions, the "gingerbread man" even shook his head in a very professional manner, as if trying to wake himself up.

Just as it was shaking its head, something even more amazing happened.

Suddenly, several small stars appeared on its head, twinkling faintly as if they had popped out of its head.

Then, like beads from a broken string, these little stars rolled down from its head, then rolled around its body a few times, and finally disappeared without a trace.

This series of actions is exactly like someone who is suddenly woken up from a dream, and then sits up groggily, trying to wake themselves up.

Wow, so cute! Is that really me? I look a little silly, but I'm so adorable. (???)

Lin Xiyue watched the gingerbread man's action, her eyes sparkling, and praised him with delight.

Wow, it's so cute! By the way, can I keep it as a pet?

Tong also noticed the gingerbread man's action and was deeply attracted by its cute appearance, so he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Hmm... I don't think that'll work. After all, Amo said that my soul is inside. If you raise it, wouldn't our relationship become very strange?"

After hearing the system's words, Lin Xiyue thought for a moment and then refused without hesitation.

She simply couldn't imagine that a part of her soul would call the system "master," while the system would in turn call her "host"—the scene was just too bizarre!

Upon thinking of this, Lin Xiyue felt a sudden surge of fear. She shook her head violently as if she had been electrocuted, as if trying to drive this terrible thought out of her mind.

Stop overthinking. Focus now and get your soul back in its place.

Melos's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Lin Xiyue's conversation with the system.

Okay. What do I need to do?

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyue immediately snapped out of her daze, looked at Molos with a serious expression, and asked.

I will extract your soul from here and then merge it with yours.

Meros pointed to the "gingerbread man" who had already stood up and was doing stretching exercises, and said.

Lin Xiyue looked in the direction Moros pointed and saw the "gingerbread man" moving his limbs, as if preparing for what was to come.

Although this fragment of soul has not developed self-awareness, it has been separated from you for far too long, so the fusion process may be somewhat uncomfortable for you.

Melos continued to explain, his gaze fixed on Lin Xiyue, revealing a hint of worry.

Lin Xiyue nodded, indicating that she understood. She took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.

Sigh... I was originally planning to prepare a separate solution for you later, which would make the fusion process easier for you.

Seeing this, Meros breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still said with some unease.

He sighed deeply, clearly feeling somewhat helpless about this unexpected situation.

Clearly, Lin Xiyue's sudden intrusion added an element of uncertainty to the process of merging with her soul.

However, Meros did not lose his composure. He quickly calmed down and thought of a solution.

Although the current situation is somewhat different from expectations, fortunately it is not yet beyond repair and there are still ways to make amends.

Don't worry, it's not a big problem; we can fix it.

Moros took a deep breath, composed himself, and then spoke to Lin Xiyue in the channel.

Hearing this, Lin Xiyue felt somewhat relieved. She listened intently to Moros's words, afraid of missing any crucial details.

Because she was so focused, she even ignored the pain in her body and didn't notice that the originally intense pain had become negligible.

Without hesitation, Meros reached out and grabbed the "gingerbread man" who was constantly moving.

His fingers gently stroked the gingerbread man's head again, as if sensing something inside.

Just as Meros's fingertips touched the "gingerbread man" and gently rubbed against it.

A tiny white orb, with a strand of gold thread in the middle, slowly condensed between the fingertips of the "Gingerbread Man" and Meros.

This small ball of light resembled a dazzling pearl, emitting a faint glow.

It started out as small as a grain of rice, but over time it began to expand and grow larger.

At the same time, the originally lively and adorable "gingerbread man" also began to undergo a wonderful change.

The first part to change is its farthest foot. The small foot, which was originally short and small and difficult to distinguish between the instep and the arch, suddenly lost its flexibility and became abnormally stiff.

Not only that, its color also quickly changed from the original beautiful white to a lifeless grayish-white, as if the vitality of life was being gradually drained away.
