When the voice sounded from the mind, [Overlook] was also forced to activate, but the consciousness did not leave the body, which means that the skill awakened some kind of branch effect.
I looked at the captain in shock, trying to judge the current situation by observing her reaction.
However, after the captain noticed my sudden behavior, he just shrugged slightly and smiled softly. His eyes seemed to contain some kind of...expectation? He left without saying much.
It seems like this is my 'trial' coming?
So, mustering up the courage, I replied to the voice in my head:
"May I ask you are?"
"Ah? This voice is...human! Why can I hear human voices?"
The other person seemed more surprised than me.
"I don't know why, I think we are having a direct mental conversation."
"Is that so? It's strange, it's been so long since I've spoken to anyone..."
At this time, I should introduce myself, but for the sake of safety, I decided to use a code name instead of my real name.
"Anyway, let me introduce myself first. My name is BWV-173. I am a pioneer member responsible for exploring the universe. My mental dialogue with you must have triggered my skill, which is called Overlook."
"BWV-173? This name is really strange. Is it a human name?"
Strange concern, aren’t all humans named like this now? Is it people from the past?
"Human beings today are indeed called like this. I wonder what your surname is?"
"Me? My name is, Yang, Yang... My name is Yang, uh-huh."
Obviously he didn't remember it... Is this a loss of memory?
It seems that the other party has no intention of changing his words. Forget it, I won’t complain, but speaking of it, is this a surname or a given name?
"Okay, Yang, the current situation must have confused you and me. I think we should exchange information with each other first to understand the current situation."
"Oh, that's right. What do you want to know?"
Do you want me to ask a question first? If that's the case, then let's ask the other party's location first.
At present, the star field controlled by humans is already very vast. Traditional communication methods have very high requirements on distance limitations in space. However, if special ability effects are used as the medium, this limitation may be far exceeded.
"Then I want to ask first, do you know where you are now?"
"Where is it? I don't know. It's so dark here... it's so dark. I'm so sleepy... zZ."
"...It's better not to rush to bed yet, right? Yang?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, I don't know why I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep as soon as I start thinking."
It seems that the situation is much more complicated than I thought.
"When you say darkness, do you mean the entire space around you? So what is the state of your body now?"
"Space? Right, it's all black. Body? What, what is this? I don't think there is one."
Conscious body? Without a body, surrounded by darkness, could it be...
"I roughly understand. I think you may be in the so-called 'soul' state now."
"Soul? I'm not sure what it means."
"Based on current human research, the so-called soul is actually a medium that records information. It records information about whether the self is the self. Well... if I explain it based on my ability, the soul is used to determine the first
The position of the perspective.”
I tried to explain it in an understandable way, although I actually didn’t know much about the nature of the soul.
"Um, is that so? I feel like I understand a little bit."
"Looking at you like this, you seem to have lost your memory. Can't you remember the past?"
"Well...yes, I can't remember anything, but after talking to you, I still can't remember clearly, but I have a feeling that I can understand these unintelligible words again, ah,
I can’t explain clearly either.”
It seems that the memory of the other party was not really lost. The conversation between them seemed to have had some enlightening effect, so the corresponding information was regained.
This is the so-called memory clue. After I traveled through time, I also realized that if there were no corresponding clue events, I would not be able to remember what I experienced in the past.
"I roughly understand that the conversation between us should have allowed you to recall some information. In other words, we should continue the conversation, so that sooner or later we can understand who you are."
"Oh, now I understand, let's do this! I really like chatting like this, but I'm so sleepy that I can't do it anymore. I'm going to sleep..."
The skill is interrupted.
I just awakened the skill and linked to an unknown consciousness, which seems to be in a soul state. To be honest, I'm still quite confused now, and I don't know if this was a random link.
Anyway, let’s practice how to use the skills first...
About one cosmic epoch has passed.
"Hello, hello, can you hear me?"
The strange way of greeting, and the inexplicable activation of skills that were completely caught off guard. This is not an ability that can be controlled stably. Instead, the opponent takes the initiative.
"Hello, Yang."
"Would you like to continue telling me stories today?"
"Okay, but I don't know what to say. In your current state, what questions would you ask?"
In this case of amnesia, I wonder if there is any fragmentary information worth deducing that can be obtained. In short, the initiative should be given to the other party before making a judgment.
"Hmm...what era is it now?"
Era? It seems that the other person really might be someone from the past.
"We are now in the fiftieth century of the cosmic era, 39,753,160 years and 114 days, one of which is 100 million years. The overall time standard of the original parent star is adopted...
"
"Huh? What is this? I've never heard of it at all."
Being interrupted suddenly and never heard of it means that this person is from a long time ago? If it is a soul state, it is indeed not impossible.
"Before the cosmic era, we also used the galactic calendar, the earth calendar, and ancient times..."
"Ah, this is it, Earth, I know this, I am from Earth."
Are they actually the aborigines of the earth? It seems that the other party's identity is unusual.
"The period of the earth's history is the golden age of mankind. If you can still maintain the integrity of your soul for such a long time, you must have been a powerful person during your lifetime."
"Really? I'm actually a very powerful person? Haha, I don't feel it at all."
"Maybe it's memory loss that prevents you from these concepts. Is there anything else you want to ask now?"
"Well, I'm starting to feel sleepy again, but I want to ask one more question..."
"Well, please speak."
Yang's voice suddenly lowered a bit and said:
"What do you think is the nature of the universe?"
