"Astral projection?"

Delos looked at Charles in front of him and frowned: "I've heard of this ability, but can a psychic superpower person also do it?" Or is this also the ability of a psychic superpower? ”

Since receiving Charles's call, Delos has teleported over with a space charm. He thought he was in a hurry, but he heard Charles say that he would teach him one last spiritual skill, which was astral projection.

Astral projection is also known as spirit projection and spirit flight. In the simplest and most straightforward way to describe this ability, it is out-of-body.

Delos knew that Charles could exchange his own consciousness and that of others, but he really didn't expect that the other party had the skill of spirit projection.

It's easy to talk about consciousness transfer, but it's not the same thing as astral projection.

"Delos, what do you think is the relationship between consciousness and soul?"

Charles, who was in a wheelchair, did not answer Delos's question, but smiled and asked the latter, "Do you think they are two different things?" ”

Delos frowned as he pondered Charles' words and spoke out of his heart.

"I think the soul may be an inclusive relationship to consciousness, and the relationship between consciousness and soul is like the relationship between the brain and the body. But ......"

Then he thought of the spiritual world he had been in when he erased the parasitic consciousness before, and couldn't help but sigh and said, "But there are too many contradictions, and I don't know what this is all about. ”

If consciousness and soul are really the relationship between the brain and the body, then what is the spiritual world in which he was originally located? In the end, the spiritual world is actually the soul itself, or something else.

Hearing Delos's answer, Charles nodded and said, "You're right, there are indeed many contradictions, but there is a reasonable explanation after all." ”

Speaking of this, Charles paused, he looked at Delos and smiled: "If I say that the soul is consciousness, but the soul is the complete embodiment of consciousness, do you believe this?" ”

Hearing this, Delos's face pale slightly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes when he looked at Charles: "Since it was Charles who said it, I think you must have obtained definite evidence to say so." ”

Charles nodded, a flash of memory flashed in his eyes, and then said: "Actually, what you said is right, consciousness is the brain of the soul from the beginning, it is born from the brain of the body, it burns the unique personality imprint that belongs to us, and stores memories and spiritual energy. ”

Charles drew a few diagrams with telekinetic energy, and said as soon as he changed the drawing: "It's just that in the same way, this kind of consciousness is also very susceptible to changes in physical factors and disturbed. ”

"So you've studied how to keep your consciousness from being disturbed by changes in your body?" Delos, who had clearly thought of something, couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, you're right."

Charles said: "After that I succeeded, but I also failed......"

Speaking of this, Charles sighed softly.

This sigh was mixed with unimaginable bitterness and helplessness, and Charles said after a while: "In this regard, the ancient one I mentioned to you before gave me some guidance, but because of my physical limitations, my subsequent results were both success and failure. ”

“… The Ancient One..."

Delos muttered in his heart, he knew that Charles had met the Ancient One during the Mutant War more than ten years ago, but he really didn't expect the Ancient One to teach him how to go out of his body. (PS: For the convenience of understanding in the future, I don't use astral projection in the future, only use out-of-body soul)

"My body is too weak, and I still have a physical disability."

Charles pointed to his legs and feet, which could no longer move, and said helplessly: "So in this process, I can only barely develop my consciousness into a soul." It's just that this soul is a little crippled because of the lack of energy, so I can't let the soul leave the body for a long time. As the course went on, my abilities became weaker and weaker, and now I can't leave my body anymore. ”

Hearing this, Delos sighed with some regret, and then asked, "After consciousness develops into a soul, will it have any effect on the body?" ”

"There are only good, no harm."

Charles smiled, "Don't you want to know why I can continuously use mental power to protect this mutant academy?" Here's why. After the consciousness developed towards the soul, I felt that my operation of the ability was more delicate and powerful than before, and I could rely on just some energy to make the ability uninterrupted, and this was not much load for me. ”

Speaking of this, Charles looked at Delos and showed a meaningful smile: "Even my observation is stronger than ever. ”

As he spoke, Charles pointed to his brain at Delos.

Delos raised an eyebrow: "You know everything?" ”

"Of course I do."

The old man, who was a benchmark of kindness, winked mischievously and said, "After all, not everyone can choose to let the sovereignty of consciousness lie over the body before consciousness develops into a soul, and let the body be affected without disturbing the consciousness. ”

"Well, I'll admit, I've made it a secret."

Delos, who was punctured, smiled helplessly, and he had to admit that ginger was still old and spicy. According to Charles, I'm afraid that the problem was discovered as soon as Charles himself woke up when he saw him.

Seeing this, Charles stopped laughing anymore and continued: "In addition to these, once consciousness develops into a soul, it can actively leave the body and stay outside for a long time. As long as the body still retains the corresponding physiological functions and vitality, the soul will not dissipate. ”

"Not only that......" Charles frowned in a rare embarrassment, as if he was struggling with whether to tell Delos what happened next.

Seeing this, Delos didn't speak, just quietly waited for Charles's next words. Although he was curious, he still respected Charles's choice. If Charles didn't want to say it, then he wouldn't ask.

"But according to Charles's character, I am afraid that he will not say it if he can be so worried." Delos thought so.

But what Dilos didn't expect was that Charles, after struggling for a while, actually spoke without any reservations.

"Formed souls can possess others to take their bodies, read their memories, and suck the life force in these bodies to survive."

As soon as the words fell, Delos frowned, and he couldn't help asking, "Does it have to be a human body?" Can't it be another creature? ”

Originally, he was happy to hear that these formed souls could do such things that could not be done, but in the end he was a little uneasy.

It turns out that those magicians still have such dangerous and powerful abilities!

"I can't."

Charles shook his head and said softly: "Although the soul is an advanced form after the development of consciousness, once it develops from consciousness to soul, it has its own unique imprint, so that it will no longer be disturbed by the changes in the body, unless that soul allows itself to be disturbed by the changes in the body. ”

"But it's only for your own body."

Charles seemed to remember something bad, rubbed his head rarely, and his kind voice became a little serious.

"Once a soul is possessed by a body that does not belong to him, then the body rejects the soul, and the soul rejects the body. It's like every soul has a common code with its own body, and once the code is different, it will erode each other. The reason why the soul can absorb the life force of others through possession is such a reason, because this itself is a kind of erosion, which is actively caused by the soul. This is only the erosion of the same species, and if it is a different species, the erosion will be even higher, so that it is almost impossible to possess. ”

"Finally, and most crucially."

Looking at Delos, Charles's slightly old eyes suddenly became fierce.

"As in myths and legends, man can become a god, but there are many very difficult steps to become a god. One of the most important and indispensable steps is to allow consciousness to develop into a soul...... Because the soul is the foundation and the heart of everything! ”
