CHAPTER 640: CHAPTER 34: INNATE MIND ABILITY USER

The tattoo of the black rose unexpectedly shed a petal, which slowly drifted to the ground and eventually disappeared.

Su Xiao witnessed all of this, his eyes seemed to be glowing.

"When did you get this rose tattooed on your arm?"

"I never got it tattooed, it just appeared one day."

"Appeared on its own..."

Su Xiao touched his chin with his index finger. This assistant named Black Mary seemed quite interesting. This situation reminded him of a possibility, that of an innate psychic user.

In the Hunter World, there are people who are either born this way or awaken their telekinesis ability due to some external stimulus, and this type of ability is always of the specialization nature. Other telekinesis abilities need to be trained to acquire, only specialization nature can awaken without practice.

This kind of innate psychic user generally lacks combat strength. Among ordinary people, they might be called magicians, witches, or prophets, possessing various peculiar abilities, though they are unaware that these abilities are actually of the specialization nature of telekinesis.

"Describe the experience at that time."

Black Mary began to describe the situation to Su Xiao. She was in the lobby on the first floor when she heard a sound from the basement. Instinctively wanting to distance herself from the auction house, she hadn’t run far when a ’light blue energy blade’ slashed her, cutting her in half at the waist. She couldn’t remember anything afterward, just that it felt very hot. When she woke up naked, she walked quite a distance before finding clothes, eventually regrouping with gang members.

Upon hearing the light blue energy blade from Black Mary’s mouth, Bubu Wang looked towards Su Xiao.

Su Xiao cleared his throat; it should have been his blade aura, no, it must have been his blade aura.

"So you came back from the dead."

Su Xiao’s gaze burned into Black Mary; did she really have the ability to resurrect? A specialization resurrection ability?

"No, no, I shouldn’t have died at that time, no, I definitely didn’t die, the ’Dark Rose’ cannot revive the dead, that’s the rule..."

"Dark Rose? Is that the name of your telekinesis ability?"

"What Dark Rose? Uh... I think I just said that term."

Black Mary was even more bewildered; her telekinesis ability had only recently awakened.

"What a hassle, let’s test it out to be sure."

Su Xiao pulled out a dagger, its cold light glinting as a gash appeared on Black Mary’s arm.

Black Mary groaned in agony, blood gushing forth. At that moment, the black rose tattoo on her arm detached from her skin, transforming into a real rose floating in the air. Telekinesis energy enveloped Black Mary, and the wound on her arm rapidly healed.

A dozen seconds later, the black rose tattoo reappeared on Black Mary’s arm, with one petal showing signs of wilting. That black rose still had twenty-three petals left.

"Interesting."

Su Xiao sensed that this ability might not only apply to Black Mary. If it could be used on others, it would be significantly meaningful.

"Use this ability on me."

"How...how should I do it? Also, can I put on some clothes first? It’s really cold and it’d be troublesome if someone came by."

Black Mary’s face flushed, awkwardly covering her upper body.

"Put on your clothes and come with me, but for now, don’t tell anyone about the rose on your arm."

"Yes."

Without a doubt, if Black Mary’s ability could be used on others, it would have extraordinary significance.

The injury of being cut in half can heal, and injuries from being scorched by a small sun can heal without being reduced to ashes. Healing severed limbs is certainly no problem.

Black Mary’s ability must have some limitations. Each use causes a petal on that rose to wither. The degree of withering depends on the severity of the injury being healed. Once all the petals on that rose have withered away, she might lose this ability.

Black Mary’s ability reminded Su Xiao of someone, isn’t this like an enhanced Shinfuru?

...

A car slowly drove down the road. Black Mary in the driver’s seat blushed, her gaze occasionally drifting to Su Xiao in the passenger seat.

"Focus on driving!"

"Yes!"

Black Mary shrunk her neck in fear, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly.

Su Xiao sat in the passenger seat, looking at the shallow scar on the back of his hand. Through initial testing and his careful teaching (pointing Dragon Slash at Black Mary’s neck), Black Mary quickly mastered the ’Dark Rose’ ability, confirming that people learn best under pressure.

Through experimentation, it was confirmed that Black Mary could heal any injury, but there was a prerequisite: she couldn’t heal fatal injuries, meaning this wasn’t a resurrection ability.

The experiment consumed petals from the Dark Rose, now only twenty petals remained, but Su Xiao already had a general understanding of this ability.

Healing ordinary injuries consumes 0.3-0.5 petals, severe injuries 1-2 petals, near-death 2-3 petals, limb impairment + near-death 3-5 petals (uncertain).

Su Xiao didn’t care much about simply healing injuries. His "Number One" Potion also had a strong recovery ability, but healing limb impairments was vital. Healing such impairments usually required high-quality potions or a return to Reincarnation Paradise.

Su Xiao ordered Black Mary never to reveal this ability. The Red Clown had his two arms and a leg severed by him, and it would be troublesome if he recovered.

Speaking of the Red Clown, Su Xiao was somewhat at a loss; it seemed like this guy had vanished without a trace. If not for the fact that the hunting mission hadn’t failed yet, Su Xiao would have suspected that the Red Clown had already returned to Reincarnation Paradise.

"Mister Bai Ye."

Black Mary suddenly spoke, a smile appearing on her face.

"Hm?"

Su Xiao lay with his eyes closed on the passenger seat.

"Don’t worry, even if your limbs are chopped off, I can help you recover."

Hearing this, Su Xiao said nothing. Although the logic was sound, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.

Bubu Wang, sitting in the backseat, rolled its eyes. With a slight germophobia, it had already taken a bath.

"But Mister Bai Ye, where are we going?"

"Just drive, stop talking."

"Okay, Mister Bai Ye."

Black Mary was no longer as afraid of Su Xiao, because she realized that as long as she didn’t provoke this man, there was no danger.

The car stopped after driving through Yukexin City for half an hour. Yukexin City is vast, a decadent yet prosperous city.

The vehicle pulled over to the side of the road, the street was completely silent.

As Black Mary turned her head to look at Su Xiao, she found the passenger seat empty.

"Huh..."

As Black Mary was about to get out of the car to check, she suddenly felt a pair of eyes from the back seat watching her.

Bubu Wang stared at Black Mary, its gaze seemingly saying: "Try getting out of the car, and I’ll bite you to death, long-legged female creature."

Black Mary dared not move. Although Bubu Wang usually seemed silly, let’s not forget its former name: Ripping Space Evil Dog· Bu Bu Te Ni. Even though it became ’Tear Home Evil Dog’ later, Bubu Wang’s combat strength was indisputable.

On the outskirts at the edge of Yukexin City, in front of a dilapidated two-story ancient castle.

This ancient castle was quite old, its outer walls covered with vine plants. Though the environment was good, it had been abandoned, and its remote location meant few people visited.

Yet such a castle was brightly lit at this moment, the vast courtyard filled with patrolling gang members and various breeds of dogs.

Moreover, a closer inspection of the castle revealed heavy machine guns mounted in some of the windows.

No one would have guessed that this rundown castle was the hideout of the Ten Old Man.
