Deviant: No Longer Human

It was only four in the morning, and the icy pre-dawn air seeped through the walls of the dimly lit open balcony where Eveline and Wang Xiao stood, fully equipped and ready to depart.

Despite having been informed well in advance about their plans to delve into the activities of the hell slave organization and Gabriel, the question of why they had chosen to leave at such an ungodly hour nagged at her.

Couldn\'t they have let her sleep a bit longer?

She was particularly irked by the fact that she was the only one roused from sleep—Anran was still blissfully asleep, resembling a log in her cozy room.

"She wouldn\'t be going with me," Wang Xiao broke through Seraphina\'s train of thought, his voice firm.

Eveline, clad in a thick, white furry jacket that seemed to glow against the dim interior, appeared ready to brave the cold that awaited them outside.

Wang Xiao\'s statement made her raise her eyebrows in surprise.

That deviation wasn\'t part of their original plan.

??

Seraphina\'s surprise mirrored Eveline\'s; both were equally taken aback.

"She would," Wang Xiao asserted, undeterred by their stunned expressions.

Whoosh!

"Hey losers, missed me?" The sudden interruption came with a gust of wind as Luna made her dynamic entrance.

She landed gracefully on the balcony, the cold wind swirling her straight black suit around her like a dark aura.

"!?"

Her arrival caused the rest to turn and stare in silent astonishment.

Ignoring the startled looks directed at her, Luna sauntered over and casually draped an arm around Wang Xiao\'s shoulder.

With a mischievous chuckle, she teased, "Of course, all losers except this one over here!"

Serpahina, "..."

Eveline, "..."

Both exchanged silent glances, their minds tangled with the same question: had this woman finally decided to reveal her true colours?

Was she shedding her guise of the dutiful assistant?

However, Eveline, ever focused on her primary objective, was the first to clarify her position. "I am here to look after you, not them," she stated firmly, her voice crisp in the cold morning air.

!?

Her words caused everyone present, including Luna, to frown, puzzled by the sudden insult.

Why were they being treated like second-class citizens?

And just who was this woman, really?

Beyond looking beautiful, her actual contributions were seldom noticed, yet her attitude seemed to soar beyond the stratosphere.

Wang Xiao watched as the tension among the three women simmered, a subtle smirk playing on his lips as he anticipated the brewing confrontation.

There was something wickedly entertaining about the prospect of Luna and Eveline clashing.

Despite his intrigue, he wasn\'t quite sure who would emerge victorious should it come to blows, though his bets were on Eveline, given her evident capabilities.

[Xiao, stop enjoying this! You have to complete your little adventure before February] Yin Yue unable to see a man happy, sent a reminder of the upcoming deadline, to meet with Amelia.

Yet—Wang Xiao continued to enjoy in the moment, however, until the roaring sound of helicopter blades booming across the sky snapped him back to reality.

They were already running late, and the helicopter waiting beside them was ready to take off, its engines booming as it disturbed the tranquility of the early hours.

Whoosh!

"Just stay back, I wouldn\'t really jump to my death, and you said it yourself—Europe is safe." His words left behind in the air, echoing around Eveline as she knitted her brows together in concern.

"Wouldn\'t really jump to my death? What does he intend to do now...?" Eveline muttered, her gaze fixed blankly on the ascending helicopter.

She watched as he climbed aboard, the rotors whipping the air into a frenzy, with Luna quickly trailing behind him.

"Don\'t overthink it, he won\'t die," Seraphina murmured, stifling a yawn before succumbing again to sleep, but Eveline remained rooted to the spot.

A nagging unease tugged at her—something about the situation felt off...

They were supposed to be pursuing someone named Gabriel, purportedly not a very strong enemy.

Logically, Wang Xiao alone should be able to hold his own, and with Luna\'s help, they were expected to easily overpower him.

Yet, the pieces didn\'t seem to fit together seamlessly...

What crucial element was she overlooking?

After a moment of silent contemplation, Eveline shook her head dismissively.

"Why am I so worried?" Aurora said it herself.

"I\'m not being paid to contradict him... Am I?~"

Her chuckle was dry, echoing slightly with a hollow charm as she finally turned, her silhouette blending into the dim light as she retreated into the depths of the mansion.

______

"Mmghh~~"

"Ahnnn..."

Back on the helicopter, Luna and Wang Xiao were entangled in a mess.

Her suit jacket lay abandoned on the floor of the helicopter, the buttons of her shirt barely holding on as his hands explored beneath.

Their lips locked in a heated embrace.

"I warned you about it... You still want to jump to your death~," her voice was a soft whisper, filled with desire, sending shivers down the spines of the two pilots piloting the aircraft.

!!

But before anyone could react, Luna sharply turned her head. "If you dare to look back again, I will gouge your eyes out!" Her threat froze the pilot in terror, causing the helicopter to momentarily lose balance.

However, Wang Xiao and Luna continued.

"I need to go..." Wang Xiao\'s breath was hot against her neck as his hand sought its way between her trembling thighs.

"That place is a hell~ you would die.~" Luna\'s groans of warning only fueled Wang Xiao\'s desire for exploration as he remained undeterred.

"It\'s better to die once than to die every day." Wang Xiao chuckled boldly before lowering himself, his lips capturing her nipples in a searing kiss that made Luna\'s eyes widen in astonishment.

"!"

"Mhnnnn~"

Her breath hitched, her gaze locked onto him.

In that moment, the allure of this man intensified, igniting a fierce fire within her that burned uncontrollably.

It struck a chord deep within her, sending waves of fiery sensation through every fiber of her being.
