"There's something I need your help with......" Todd said with a frown, hesitating.

What would be the reaction of a man who suddenly said to another woman, 'I hope you will come into my soul world and help me see what my mind thinks?'

Todd chose his words as carefully as he could, and made some general remarks about Lawrence and his own affairs, and tactfully made his own request.

As it turned out that he was overthinking, Mary nodded her head in agreement almost instantly when she heard the king's request.

"The soul-linked ability is still a bit unstable and potentially risky. Todd felt the need to make the danger clear in advance.

Mary shook her head and said, "If it's your business, no amount of risk is nothing." ”

"Your consciousness will enter an unknown world, and I cannot guarantee that the 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 Twilight, and with all due respect, there are times when you have concerns...... Something weird......"

Todd was speechless for a long time.

After a moment he stood up and walked up to Mary, looking at the woman seated.

Mary adjusts her sitting position and turns her face towards the king.

The latter reached for her temple and touched the other's creamy skin, the warmth of the tentacle making him lose his mind for a moment. Immediately after, Todd took a deep breath and said, "The first time, it might hurt a little. ”

Mary nodded slightly and closed her eyes.

Recalling the scene where Lawrence was connected to his own soul, Todd tried to use the ability of "shaping" to stab his finger into Mary's skull.

Beads of blood flowed from the tiny wounds on her skin, and the woman sitting in the chair let out a suppressed scream.

In the next second, the spirits of the two were sucked into a new world together.

——————————————

Mary looked at the flickering light on the steel cabinet and the picture displayed on the LCD screen, and covered her mouth with two small hands, falling into a momentary distraction and shock.

Todd walked over to the coffee machine in the corner of the room, poured himself and Mary a cup of coffee, and walked over to the woman with the cup.

"Is this heaven?"

Hearing Mary's question, Todd smiled awkwardly, "Heaven? ”

Mary observes the images on the screen—secluded rooftop gardens, busy robot workshops, and vast expanses of rivers, seas, and mountains. She turned her head, her tone full of incredulity and excitement: "Are you using these to look down on the mortals under your rule?"

Todd was a little confused: "Looking down, these little screens are called monitors, and they are used by cameras or drones...... Uh, forget it, it's too cumbersome to explain, you can try this. ”

"What is this?"

"Coffee is a drink I often drink to refresh my mind. ”

Mary picked up the mug with the teddy bear on it, her eyes sparkling: "You mean that this drink is like a fountain of wisdom, and you can get wisdom by drinking it?"

"No, no, this thing can only keep you awake for a short time, and drinking too much will have the effect of 'Wisdom Reduction Strike'. ”

Mary took a small sip from her cup, her expression overwhelmed by the unexpected bitterness.

Seeing this, Todd took out a packet of granulated 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 the mouth, and Mary took the cup and drank it all.

"Uh...... That's not how coffee is drunk......" Todd simply gave up the explanation, called Mary, who was looking around, and began to decipher Clarence's memory.

Mary licked the milk stains from her mouth with her tongue, focusing on the ever-changing images and sounds on the big screen.

Todd looked away from the woman's lips and began to introduce the key words and targets of the memory screening.

The first thing that plays is a frontal photo of Theodore, and there is also a clip of his voice, Todd says to Mary, "The man in the picture is named Theodore, the president of the Relief Society, and he died in the assassination of his subordinates. But fifteen years before the assassination, he used a special way to treat a mutated successor. ”

"I've heard of the Relief Society, it seems to be an anti-church organization, but what's the matter with the Successor Mutation?"

Todd patted his forehead, and suddenly remembered that although Mary was once the Queen of the Silver Ring, she didn't know much about some xenomorph things.

In desperation, he had no choice but to explain the ins and outs of the terms almsgiving, presbyterian, Theodore, Clorence, Jerome, and successor.

Seeing that Mary finally had a general understanding of the whole thing, Todd continued to introduce down: "What we are looking for now is what kind of method Theodore used to heal the heir. Lawrence is one of the three elders of the Presbyterian Church, and I'm sure he will have some insider information in his memory. ”

Mary nodded, motioning for Todd to continue playing Lawrence's memories.

The nine screens were played at an accelerated pace, and it took a whole day to release all the memory fragments, and the side effects of using the soul space for a long time made Todd lose his spirits, and the lights of the entire research institute flickered on and off, and the walls began to distort and deform.

"We have to get out of here, weary and tired, I'm afraid I can't continue to sustain this world. Todd whispered to Mary, pushing through a strong pain in his head.

The latter also looked uncomfortable, and the long hours of focusing on watching memories and thinking about the arrangement overdrew Mary's spirit.

The two of them exited the soul space and returned to reality.

Todd's hands left Mary's head, and the overexertion made him unsteady on his feet, and he fell to the ground, unable to get up for a moment.

The sound of falling to the ground attracted attention outside the door.

The door was slammed open, and the guards rushed into the room, and when they saw the king lying on the ground, their first reaction was to point their weapons at the seated woman.

Todd's voice was faint, but it finally reached people's ears: "Stop! I'm fine!"

With the help of the guards, Todd stood up from the ground, and the first thing he did was check on Mary's condition.

The woman's breathing was steady and her pulse was steady, but she fell into a coma due to detachment.

Todd motioned for the guards to help him back into his chair, and ordered them to immediately call in the monk to provide medical treatment.

Ten minutes later, under the monk's incense therapy, Mary gradually woke up, perhaps still unable to adapt to the change of the world, she was dazed, and the first word she said after waking up was: "Coffee ......"

After making sure that Mary was okay, Todd enlisted her maid, Cathy, to escort her back to the residence.

He himself, on the other hand, was quietly in the room, pondering some of the details of the Soul Link ability.

First of all, the "soul link" ability is supposed to be triggered by microorganisms in the brain and connected to others through the human nervous system, but the exact reason is unknown.

Second, this microbial ability can transform memories or impressions in the brain into virtual worlds, but only for things that have been seen, touched, and believed to exist. For example, Todd's attempt to copy the RPG bazooka from "Resident Evil" into the spirit world was successful, but when he tried to copy the T-virus and G-virus inside, he failed. It seems that the first premise of the reappearance of an object in the spirit world is that the owner of the ability must be subconsciously convinced that the object is real and not a fabrication or fiction.

Thirdly, the first time the ability owner connects with another person (the linker), they must use physical invasion (the more common method is to connect directly to the linker's brain through the peripheral nerves of the fingers). However, after the first invasion is successful, if the two want to link again in the future, the ability owner only needs to enter the spirit world and call the designated linker to come, provided that the linker agrees to the call and does not have the thought of resistance.

Finally, and the Soul Link ability is the most useful—forcibly peeking into other people's memories, or even destroying their minds. When the opponent appears to resist the thoughts, the supernatural can use the method of forcible breakthrough, using the things of his own soul world to attack the mind of the linker, and break the opponent's mental defense, so as to obtain the effect of control or destruction.

But in the end, this method is extremely dangerous, and Claurens is the best example of this.
