Alien Knights

"I need your help with something..." Todd frowned and said this, hesitating in his heart.

Just ask, if a man suddenly said to another woman, "I hope you can walk into my soul world and help me see what my mind is thinking", what kind of reaction will the other woman have?

Todd chose his words as carefully as possible, roughly speaking about Clarence and himself, and tactfully made his request.

Facts proved that he was thinking too much. After hearing the king's request, Mary nodded in agreement almost instantly.

"The ability of the soul link is still a little unstable, and there may be potential risks." Todd felt that it was necessary to make the danger clear in advance.

Mary shook her head and said, "If it's your business, no matter how big the risk is."

"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 your concerns... are a bit strange..."

Todd was speechless for a long time.

After a while he stood up, walked in front of Mary, and looked at the woman sitting upright.

Mary adjusted her sitting posture and turned her face towards the king.

The latter stretched his hand towards her temple, and lightly touched her creamy skin. The warmth of the tentacles made him lose his mind for a moment. Immediately afterwards, Todd took a deep breath and said, "It might hurt a little for the first time."

Mary nodded slightly and closed her eyes.

Recalling the scene where Clarence was connected to his soul, Todd tried to use the "shape" ability to pierce his finger into Mary's head.

Beads of blood flowed out from the tiny wound on the skin, and the woman sitting on the chair let out a suppressed wail.

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, 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 a cup of coffee for himself and Mary, and walked to the woman with the cups.

"Is this heaven?"

Hearing Mary's question, Todd smiled awkwardly: "Paradise? No, this is where I work."

Mary carefully observed the pictures on the screen - the quiet roof garden, the busy robot workshop, and the vast rivers, seas and mountains. She turned her head, and her voice was full of disbelief and excitement: "Are you using these to look down on the mortal world under your rule?"

Todd was a little confused: "Looking down? Dust? These small screens are called monitors, and they come through cameras or drones... Uh, forget it, it's too troublesome to explain, you should try this."

"This is?"

"Coffee is a drink I often drink, it can refresh my mind."

Mary picked up the mug with the teddy bear on it, her eyes sparkled: "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, and drinking too much will have the effect of "lowering intelligence."

Mary picked up the cup and took a small sip, the unexpected bitterness made her expression hard to describe.

Seeing this, Todd found a bag of sugar and a small box of creamer from the drawer, poured them into Mary's cup, and motioned her to try again.

The sweetness of the sugar and the mellowness of the creamer dilute the bitterness of the coffee, and a rich aroma slowly dissipates in the mouth. Mary picks up the cup and gulps it down.

"Eh... that's not how coffee is drunk..." Todd simply gave up on explaining, and called out to 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 ever-changing images and sounds on the big screen.

Todd tried to move his gaze away from the woman's lips, and began to introduce the keywords and target items for memory screening.

The first one played was a frontal photo of Theodore and his voice. Todd said to Mary: "The man in the picture is called Theodore, the president of the Relief Society. He died of an assassination by his subordinates. But fifteen years before the assassination, he treated a mutated heir in a special way."

"I've heard of the Relief Society. It seems to be an anti-church organization, but what's the matter with the mutation of the successor?"

Todd patted his forehead, and suddenly remembered that although Mary was once the Queen of Silver Rings, she didn't know anything about alien species.

In desperation, he had no choice but 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 kind of method Theodore used to treat the successor. Clarence is one of the three elders of the Presbyterian Church. I believe there must be some insider in his memory."

Mary nodded, indicating that Todd could continue playing Clarence's memory.

The nine screens used accelerated playback to play memory fragments non-stop. The side effect of using the soul space for a long time made Todd mentally weak. The lights of the entire institute flickered and the walls began to distort.

"We have to get out of here. I'm tired and tired, so I'm afraid I won't be able to maintain this world." Todd whispered to Mary, resisting the pain in his head that was getting stronger and stronger.

The latter didn't seem to be feeling well either. He had been concentrating on watching the memory and thinking about the arrangement for a long time, which overdrawn Mary's spirit.

The two exited the soul space and returned to reality.

Todd's hands left Mary's head, and he was so overworked that he couldn't stand, fell to the ground, and couldn't get up for a while.

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

The door was knocked open, 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 finally reached people's ears: "Stop! I'm fine!"

With the support of the guards, Todd stood up from the ground, and the first thing he did was to check Mary's status.

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

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

Ten minutes later, under the monk's aromatherapy, Mary gradually woke up. Perhaps she was still a little unable to adapt to the change of the world. She was in a daze, and the first word she uttered after waking up was: "Coffee..."

After confirming that Mary was fine, Todd called her maid Cathy to escort the former back to the residence.

And he himself 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 nervous system of the human body. The specific reason is unknown for the time being.

Secondly, this microbial ability can transform the memory or impression in the brain into a virtual world, but it is only limited to things that have been seen, touched and believed to exist. For example, Todd tried to copy the RPG rocket launcher in "Resident Evil" to Soul World, and this move was successful; but when he tried to copy the T virus and G virus inside, it failed. It seems that the first prerequisite for the reproduction of objects in the soul world is that the owner of the ability must subconsciously believe that the object is real and not fabricated or fabricated.

Thirdly, when the ability owner connects with another person (linker) for the first time, he must use a physical intrusion method (the more common method is to directly connect the linker's brain through the peripheral nerves of the fingers). But after the first intrusion is successful, if the two want to link again in the future, the ability owner only needs to enter the soul world and call the designated linker to come. Of course, the premise is that the linker agrees to call, and there is no thought of resistance.

Finally, it is also the greatest use of the "soul link" ability - forcibly peeping at other people's memories, and even destroying other people's thinking. When the other party has resisting thoughts, the supernatural person can use the method of forcible breakthrough, using the things in his own soul world to attack the linker's thinking and defeat the other party's spiritual defense line to obtain the effect of control or destruction.

But the last method is extremely dangerous, and Clarence is the best example.
