"There is something I need your help with..." Todd frowned and said this, hesitant in his heart.
Let me ask you, if a man suddenly says to another woman, "I hope you can enter my soul world and help me see what is going on in my mind," how will the other woman react?
Todd tried his best to choose his words carefully, briefly talked about what happened between Lawrence and himself, and put forward his request tactfully.
It turned out that he had thought too much. After hearing the king's request, Mary nodded in agreement almost instantly.
"The power of Soul Link is still somewhat unstable, and there may be potential risks." Todd felt that it was necessary to make the dangers clear in advance.
Mary shook her head and said, "If it's your business, no matter how big the risk is, it's nothing."
"Your consciousness will enter an unknown world. I cannot guarantee that this process will not cause any harm to you."
Mary glanced at Todd: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your kindness, but you are the king of Muxi. With all due respect, sometimes the things you worry about are a bit strange..."
Todd was speechless for a long time.
After a while, he stood up, walked to Mary, and looked at the sitting woman.
Mary adjusted her sitting posture and turned her face towards the king.
The latter stretched out his hand to her temple and lightly touched the other person's creamy skin. The warmth of the tentacles made him lose consciousness for a moment. Then, Todd took a deep breath and said: "The first time, it may be a little painful.
.”
Mary nodded slightly and closed her eyes.
Recalling the scene where Clarence connected with his soul, Todd tried to use the power of "shaping" to pierce his fingers into Mary's head.
Blood beads flowed out from the small wounds on the skin, and the woman sitting on the chair let out a suppressed scream.
The next second, their spirits were sucked into a new world together.
——————————————
Mary looked at the flashing light on the steel cabinet and the picture displayed on the LCD screen. She covered her mouth with her two small hands and fell into a brief daze and shock.
Todd walked to the coffee machine in the corner of the room, poured himself and Mary a cup of coffee each, and walked to the woman's side with the cup in hand.
"Is this heaven?"
Hearing Mary's question, Todd smiled awkwardly: "Heaven? No, this is where I work."
Mary carefully observed the pictures on the screen - the quiet rooftop garden, the busy robot workshop, and the vast expanse of rivers, seas and mountains. She turned her head, her tone full of disbelief and excitement: "You use these to...
Looking down at the mortal world under your rule?"
Todd was a little confused: "Looking down? Mortal world? These small screens are called monitors, and they come through cameras or drones... Um, forget it, it's too troublesome to explain. You can try this."
"This is?"
"Coffee is a drink I often drink. It can refresh me."
Mary picked up the mug with the teddy bear on it, her eyes twinkling: "You mean, this drink is like a fountain of wisdom? You can gain wisdom by drinking it?"
"No, no, this thing can only keep you awake for a short time. Drinking too much will produce a 'mind-depressing blow' effect."
Mary picked up the cup and took a small sip. The unexpected bitterness made her expression difficult to describe.
Upon seeing this, Todd found a packet of sugar and a small box of creamer from the drawer, poured them into Mary's cup, and motioned for her to try again.
The sweetness of the sugar and the mellowness of the creamer diluted the bitterness of the coffee, and a rich aroma slowly spread in her mouth. Mary picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Um...that's not how coffee is drunk..." Todd simply gave up the explanation, called Mary who was looking around, and began to interpret Clarence's memory.
Mary licked the milk stains around her mouth with her tongue and focused on the constantly changing pictures and sounds on the big screen.
Todd tried his best to move his gaze away from the woman's lips, and began to introduce the keywords and target items for memory screening.
The first thing that was played was a frontal photo of Theodore, and a piece of his voice. Todd said to Mary: "The name of the man in the picture is Theodore, and he is the president of the Relief Society. He died at home."
But fifteen years before the assassination, he used a special method to treat a mutant successor."
"I've heard of the Relief Society. It seems to be an anti-church organization, but what happened to the successor mutation?"
Todd slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered that although Mary was once the Queen of the Silver Circle, she didn't know much about some alien species.
In desperation, he had to explain the ins and outs of the terms Relief Society, Presbyterian Church, Theodore, Clarence, Jerome and Successor.
Seeing that Mary finally had a general understanding of the whole matter, Todd continued to introduce: "What we are looking for now is what method Theodore used to treat the successor. Lawrence is the third elder of the Presbyterian Church.
One, I believe there must be some inside information in his memory."
Mary nodded and signaled Todd to continue playing Lawrence's memory.
The nine screens used accelerated playback, and it took a whole day to play all the memory fragments. The side effects of using the soul space for a long time made Todd mentally unstable, and the lights in the entire institute flickered on and off.
The walls began to twist and deform.
"We have to get out of here. I'm afraid I can't continue to maintain this world due to fatigue and fatigue." Todd whispered to Mary despite the pain in his head that became stronger and stronger.
The latter also seemed to be feeling uncomfortable, focusing on looking at memories and thinking about arrangements for a long time, which overtaxed Mary's energy.
The two exited the soul space and returned to reality.
Todd's hands left Mary's head. Overexertion made him unsteady and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a while.
The sound of falling to the ground attracted attention from outside the door.
The door was opened, and the guards rushed into the room. When they saw the king lying on the ground, their first reaction was to point their weapons at the sitting woman.
Todd's voice was very weak, but it eventually reached people's ears: "Stop! I'm fine!"
With the support of the guards, Todd stood up from the ground. The first thing he did was to check Mary's condition.
The woman's breathing was steady and her pulse was stable, but she fell into a coma due to loss of strength.
Todd motioned to the guards to help him back to his chair and ordered them to call in the monks immediately to provide medical treatment.
Ten minutes later, under the monk's incense therapy, Mary gradually woke up. Perhaps she was still unable to adapt to the change in the world. She was dazed, but the first word she said after waking up was actually: "Coffee."
…”
After confirming that Mary was fine, Todd asked her maid Cathy to escort the former back to her residence.
As for himself, he was quietly thinking about some details of the "Soul Link" ability in the room.
First of all, the "soul link" ability should be triggered by microorganisms in the brain and connected to others through the human nervous system. The specific reason is not yet known.
Secondly, this microbial power can transform memories or impressions in the brain into a virtual world, but it is only limited to things that have been seen, touched and believed in their existence. For example, Todd tried to turn the RPG in "Resident Evil"
The rocket launcher is copied into the soul world. This move
The operation was successful; but when he tried to copy the T-virus and G-virus inside, he failed. It seems that the first prerequisite for the reappearance of objects in the soul world is that the owner of the superpower must subconsciously believe that the object is real.
What exists is not fabricated or fictitious.
Thirdly, when the owner of the power connects with another person for the first time, he must use physical intrusion. But after the first invasion is successful, if the two want to link again in the future, the owner of the power only needs to enter the soul world and call
The designated linker can come. Of course, the premise is that the linker agrees to the call and has no thoughts of resistance.
Finally, it is also the biggest use of the "Soul Link" power - to forcibly peek into other people's memories, and even destroy other people's thinking. When the other party has resistant thoughts, the person with the power can use the method of forcible breakthrough and use things from his own soul world
, attack the linker's thinking and defeat the opponent's mental defense to gain control or destruction effects.
But this last method is extremely dangerous, and Lawrence is the best example.
