Chapter 2: The Black Bread
Karen Castle, Kasage of Joseph, Ruhr Region, Kasbah of Joseph.
In a simple and cramped hut, the boy lay quietly on a wooden bed that could collapse at any moment, and if it weren't for the faint breathing, he would almost be considered dead.
Through the narrow window, the pale blue moonlight happened to shine in and sprinkle on his face.
The boy appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, pale, thin, and covered in blood on his bare back, evidently having been subjected to a cruel punishment not long ago.
After some time, his eyelids moved slightly, and then slowly opened.
"Where am I?"
The boy felt a little confused, his thoughts were confused, and it was as if two opposing souls were devouring and merging with each other in his head.
"What the hell is going on?" asked one of the dominant souls.
Enduring the discomfort, the boy wanted to get up, but he felt that his whole body was sore, and his back was in severe pain. During the change of expression, he covered his head tightly, forcibly bearing the pain caused by the fusion of body and soul, his body was already covered with cold sweat, and he was almost unconscious again.
I don't know how long it took, just when the boy thought he was going crazy, the soul fusion was finally completely over, and the pain subsided.
However, before he could breathe a sigh, a huge amount of memories suddenly flooded into his mind like a flood, completely drowning him.
In the hut, only the boy's heavy gasp was left, and it took him a while to completely digest the two completely different memories.
"It turns out that people really have souls, but am I Zhang Lin or Leo Minasil?"
With such a question in mind, he pondered.
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that Zhang Lin's consciousness is stronger, and he has completely swallowed Leo Minahir's consciousness, so he should still be regarded as Zhang Lin.
However, although Leo Minahir's consciousness disappeared, the memories of the past remained in Zhang Lin's consciousness, making him feel that he had lived two completely different lives.
casually picked up the iron plate on the chair next to him, although he couldn't really see it, Zhang Lin could barely distinguish what he looked like at the moment.
With short black hair, brown eyes, and a slightly immature face, but the facial features are angular, he looks quite beautiful.
Yes, pretty!
Zhang Lin frowned, in Leo's memory, he didn't suffer a lot because of this beautiful face.
"It seems that there is something wrong with the real yĆ n, which has crossed my soul, and there is also the memory of this body. Well, Leo Minehir, fifteen years old, orphan, is currently a low-class servant at Fort Joseph. ā
Zhang Lin soon discovered that the severe headache that had changed his body, but was pestering him all the time, disappeared.
"So, I don't have a headache, I'm not a condemned prisoner, and I'm starting all over again?" a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he became a little excited, "That's really good news." ā
At that moment, the door was pushed open, and a figure flashed in.
It was a boy about his own age, with short brown hair and brown eyes.
Paying attention to Zhang Lin looking at himself, the boy said in surprise: "Brother Leo, are you awake?"
From Leo's memory, Zhang Lin completely mastered the lingua franca of this world, and also knew that the boy's name was John, and only he and himself were okay on weekdays, so he propped himself up and replied, "Yes, wake up." ā
No, just this slight movement, it still pulled the wound, and Zhang Lin grinned in pain.
John ran to the head of the bed in a few steps and said anxiously, "Big brother, don't move." After saying that, he took out a piece of black bread from his bosom.
Seeing the bread, Zhang Lin's empty stomach suddenly squirmed and let out a loud gurgling sound.
John smiled kindly, quickly broke off a small piece of bread, sent it to Zhang Lin's mouth, and said softly: "Big brother, take a bite, you haven't eaten for a long time." ā
Zhang Lin subconsciously opened his mouth and caught the bread.
There was no expected softness at all, and the black bread was as hard as a piece of wood, but now in this situation, he couldn't complain about anything, so he could only chew it a few times and swallow it in his stomach.
Suddenly, a crisp and pleasant, but slightly stiff female voice came: "A substance that can be absorbed has been detected, has the dietary regulation module been activated?"
Zhang Lin was startled, and when he saw that John was not unusual, he reacted, and the voice came directly from his head.
"The virtual personality developed by Professor Liu has been successfully implanted, and it has crossed over with it?" Then Zhang Lin realized that the virtual personality was the lingua franca of the world, and he couldn't help but become more and more surprised: "Can it directly read my consciousness?"
John handed over a small piece of bread, but found that Zhang Lin was a little stunned, blinked his eyes, and said strangely: "Brother Leo, you don't eat it?"
"Eat, of course!" Zhang Lin swallowed the bread in one gulp.
Although he has been approved by the state and can become a real volunteer, he is still a death row prisoner after all, and he can only stay in prison on weekdays, and only on the day of the real yĆ n is he escorted to the real yĆ n room, so he doesn't know the specific function of the virtual personality.
Zhang Lin's expression remained unchanged, and he asked in his consciousness, "What is the use of the diet regulation module?"
"Analyze the energy structure obtained in the diet, assist in removing impurities that should not be absorbed, and improve the absorption rate of beneficial energy. The female voice replied succinctly.
"This feature seems to be practical, but I don't know how much the lift rate is. Zhang Lin was full of anticipation, and immediately ordered: "Then start it." ā
"Please wait a little later in the analysis. After the female voice finished speaking, she fell silent.
Helplessly waiting for the analysis, Zhang Lin took the opportunity to say to John: "How long have I been in a coma?"
John thought for a moment, "I've been in a coma for two days, how are you feeling now, big brother?"
Zhang Lin felt his physical condition, in addition to the injury on his back, his body was also quite weak, but at least it was not life-threatening, so he showed a smile and said, "It's okay." ā
"Oh, oh, that's great. John was overjoyed.
Zhang Lin chewed the bread, suddenly remembered the rules in the castle, and couldn't help but wonder: "By the way, where did you get this bread?"
"Bread is my ...... I stole it from the kitchen. John said apprehensively.
At Fort Joseph, stealing was a serious crime and could even result in outright death. Zhang Lin was moved in his heart and said in a low voice, "Thank you, John." ā
John scratched his head embarrassedly, "It's okay, Brother Leo has helped me many times." ā
"After the analysis, the optimal absorption protocol was generated, and after the optimization of the diet modulation module, the absorption rate increased by 212.56%, reaching a peak, and now it is starting to promote absorption. The female voice came to mind again.
"Actually tripled?"
The next moment, Zhang Lin felt the warmth in his stomach surge, transmitting to his whole body, and immediately accelerated the speed of eating bread.
After a short time, after eating the whole piece of black bread, he had already regained a lot of strength, and even the wound behind him was not so painful, obviously it was a natural reaction of the body after obtaining energy.
"If this virtual personality is really popular, at least the food problem can be solved a lot, and it will also be of great help to human health, and it is really something that can change the world. Zhang Lin admired Professor Liu more and more.
Seeing that Zhang Lin's face was a little ruddy, John was a lot relieved, but he always felt that the other party seemed to have undergone some changes.
As for what had changed, he couldn't say, so he had to say, "Brother Leo, you have a good rest." It's curfew now, and I need to get back quickly, in case someone finds out, it's too bad. ā
Zhang Lin knew the severity of the matter, and hurriedly nodded, "Okay, then you can go back quickly." ā
The room was silent again, but Zhang Lin didn't feel sleepy at all, and carefully went through all the memories of Leo in his mind.
"It's still a completely feudal society, backward in science and technology, but it has an unimaginably powerful force, and its individual combat effectiveness can even be compared to the army. Well, you should find a way to get this power. ā
He said to himself: "But my present situation is quite bad, my body is seriously injured, I am very weak, not to mention, I eat the hardest black bread, and I live in the worst little black house. The most terrible thing is that there are no human rights, because of a small mistake, I was almost beaten to death, this place is not very friendly. ā
