"Soul Synchronicity is completed just like that?"
I didn't feel anything wrong with my body. Only the illusion from before was still fresh in my memory. If I recalled it, the illusion just now seemed so real. Even the fragrance from Icetis's body seemed to linger on my chest. But that was just an illusion. In the eyes of a bystander like Sandora, the two of us who were in the Soul Synchronicity didn't move at all. That flirtatious ten-second hug didn't happen at all.
"I don't know …" Sandora looked at me and Icetis from head to toe. She was an expert in the study of souls, but she only had a smattering of knowledge in the field of divine arts. "I felt that your souls touched for a short period of time. It seems like the Soul Synchronicity is completed."
I moved my body. I didn't feel any discomfort from having another person in my soul. I also didn't know where Icetis was right now. Was she really hiding in my soul like she said? Why couldn't I feel it?
Just as I was thinking about this, I suddenly heard a voice in my head. "Do you think that the Soul Synchronicity is possessed by a ghost? What other feeling do you need? Can you feel your own soul normally? "
This voice was obviously Icetis's. But it was completely different from the usual conversation in my head. That voice didn't 'come from someone else', but from my own thoughts!
It was as though I had a split personality. I felt a part of 'my' will suddenly activated and formed a sentence that belonged to Icetis. I didn't think that the voice in my head was Icetis's. Instead, I felt like I was talking to myself in my head for no reason!
If it wasn't for the fact that I still had half of my rationality left, I might have thought that I was suffering from a split personality disorder. At this moment, I finally realized the difference between the Soul Synchronicity and the so-called 'Spiritual Host'. After the Soul Synchronicity, there was no difference between the two souls. If the second soul spoke in your head, you wouldn't feel like anything had entered your body. You wouldn't feel like it at all. You would feel like it was one of your own thoughts!
No wonder I couldn't feel Icetis's existence. I originally thought that she would be like Alaya, with a clear image in my spiritual world. I would see her and that silly cat angel holding hands and running happily in my boundless mind. Now it seemed that I was wrong. The Soul Synchronicity was something on a deeper level. Alaya could only be said to be a host in my spiritual world, but Icetis … had now become a part of my spiritual world. The former was equivalent to a tenant, while the latter had directly become a brick in my house.
However, what Icetis said was also correct. The Soul Synchronicity wouldn't cause the two personalities to mix up. I could still determine which part of my thoughts belonged to me, and which part belonged to Icetis. The former was clear and sharp, while the latter was mostly hazy. Thinking about it, unless one of the Soul Synchronicity willingly opened his heart to the other, the two parts of his mind wouldn't be able to read each other's thoughts.
Just as I was thinking about this, Icetis spoke up again. "Aiya, damn, this feeling is really strange. So this is a man's body? Damn, this is too profound … Wait a moment, let me take a look first … "
"What the hell are you doing?!" I jumped up on the spot. In an instant, I felt goosebumps all over my body. It was as if that female pervert was coiling around my body like a water snake. "I'm warning you, this counts as sexual harassment …"
"Sexual harassment my ass. Now that our souls are synchronized, you can also see my body. You can even enter my body and control it a little. Do you believe that if I tell this to Sandora, she will eat you alive!"
I was tongue-tied by Icetis's perverted behavior. I could only retort helplessly. "Aren't you afraid that Sandora will eat you as well?"
The female pervert didn't think much of it. "Sure, you slice it, and I'll slice it. Both of us will be sprinkled with the same can of pepper in front of Sandora …"
… I felt that I was really tired of living to argue with this fellow. Originally, her stupid mouth could take on half the firepower of a reinforced company. Now that she was in my soul and using my mind as the main battlefield, she had the advantage of the right time, the right place, and the right people. Arguing with her felt like I was arguing with myself. Just by bickering with her, I was already so tired that I was about to have a mental breakdown …
"Ah Jun, what are you doing?" A call from the real world finally freed me from the awkward situation of arguing with myself. I looked up and saw Shallow Shallow grabbing my arm, looking at my head curiously. "You suddenly jumped up just now."
I thought about it, but I didn't dare to tell her that a female pervert was sexually harassing her husband. I could only shake my head solemnly. "It's nothing. I'm just familiarizing myself with the feeling of synchronized souls and waiting for the upload …"
As I spoke, I saw Icetis again. Standing in front of me, was the body of Icetis that had temporarily entered a state of chaos. Her words were still echoing in my mind, so I curiously tried to communicate with that body.
A slight dizziness hit me, as though I had been thrown into a tunnel that was constantly tumbling. Then, I realized that my mind had split into two. One was still in its normal position, while the other … was observing my original body through a strange perspective. It was as though I was looking at a mirror, standing in front of and inside the mirror at the same time.
I was stunned. I realized that the other part of my soul was looking at my body through Icetis's eyes.
Damn it, this relationship is too complicated. I suggest that you first come up with a formula before trying to read these paragraphs.
I could understand Sis Bing's exclamation just now, because I realized that I had two bodies at the same time. One of them was a busty big sister with her head lowered so low that I couldn't even see her feet. I almost couldn't control the balance of my new body! It must have been hard on Sis Bing to walk with such a huge burden. She had exclaimed just now. Damn it, that was too profound …
A female pervert's smug voice came from the depths of my consciousness. "That's what you get for talking so much. You don't even see me as a woman … Have you ever seen such a perfect woman!?"
… I don't even know how that female pervert's brain is connected. Doesn't she feel embarrassed!?
"Ah Jun, what are you doing now?" Shallow Shallow's voice rang again. I quickly retracted my soul and looked down at the Shallow Shallow like a curious little animal. I explained solemnly, "Nothing much. I'm just familiarizing myself with her …"
"She seemed to have blinked a few times just now, but she's not moving anymore." Sandora took the opportunity to study the dazed Icetis since she was busy adjusting the equipment in the lab. She pinched the latter's face curiously and realized that she only had a weak reaction. "Sigh, it seems like she really doesn't have much of a reaction to external stimuli."
What happened next left a deep impression on me. Shallow Shallow suddenly went forward and pinched Icetis's chest. She sounded confused. "How does she grow like this … And she doesn't even have anything padding!"
Sandora continued to pinch Icetis's face. "That's what you get for talking so much!"
Lin Xue left silently. Just as I thought that she was a good person, the missy came back with a box of paint …
Icetis's desperate voice echoed in my mind. "Damn it, hurry up and stop your wives!"
I was surprised. "Can't you control your original body? I think I could control it at the same time just now … "
"Cut the crap. I'm a secondary soul now! A secondary soul has no human rights! A secondary soul … Sandora, don't pinch my mouth if you dare! Shallow Shallow, Shallow Shallow, put down your sinful claws! What are you doing? Take care of my body properly! This isn't what we agreed on! "
Icetis's wailing lasted for a long time. But in reality, Shallow Shallow and the others didn't do anything outrageous. To me, it was just a joke between girls. It was the same as sticking a note on a friend's face while they were sleeping. I could guarantee that everyone who stayed in the dormitory outside had done something worse than this. However, there were some things that felt different when one was tricked unknowingly and when one's own body was being tricked. Not to mention, a female pervert had always tricked others. When had she ever been like this …
In the end, Icetis finally gave up. She turned off her five senses to the outside world and entered her sage mode. Then, she said to me, "… I won't believe that your family of demons ever again."
"The equipment is ready."
The laboratory assistant mainframe announced calmly and finally ended this little interlude. It also saved Icetis's body. Shallow Shallow had already planned to write "Yellow Crane Tower" on Sister Bing's forehead. Luckily, she scored 32 points in her language exam back then. Otherwise, with her ability to act, she would definitely be left with her signature. Tawil went forward to help me prepare one of the access pods. This amazing female scientist, during the entire debauchery scene, actually maintained a focused state of work. None of her projections even glanced sideways. I was in awe of her.
I tried my best to lie down in the sliding coffin-like access pod with a normal state of mind. Tawil quickly adjusted a series of things on the side. There were no mechanical devices in the access pod. The inner wall was smooth and it was completely a crystal container. Just like what some people said: The ultimate direction of technological advancement is inevitably simplicity. A primitive neural intervention device might be filled with electrodes, needles, and scanners, but a device that could transmit souls would only have a smooth crystal shell. Even its operating panel was just a holographic screen floating outside the pod. This made this thing even more f * cking like a coffin …
"The upload process may cause slight dizziness. It will last for about a minute. If you feel any additional discomfort after a minute, please immediately jump out of the network. You just have to give a clear mental command to jump out of the network." Tawil said softly. I could see that she was slightly nervous. Now, the head of the country was going to be the first user of the experimental device that she had created. She didn't even dare to confirm the effects of the device because I was the only one who could use all the functions of the device. This would undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Tawil.
"It's okay. I believe in your skills," I said casually. I found a comfortable position in the coffin. Sandora, Shallow Shallow, and the others surrounded me and helped me tidy up my messy clothes. Sandora looked apologetic. "Ah Jun, I should be the one next to you, but … I can't help you at all this time."
"Erm, it's okay." I thought about it and couldn't help but say, "Erm, please step back a little …"
"Huh?"
"It looks like a funeral to me … Tawil, can't you change the design of this device next time?"
Everyone was speechless.
The lab assistant mainframe interrupted the temporary awkwardness. "The network is normal. The transcoding system is running smoothly. The redundant components have been detected. The upload will begin in one minute."
Tawil began to close the crystal cover of the access pod. "The compiling system has chosen a suitable interface for you. The abstract data on the network will appear in front of you in an image that can be understood by people in the real world. You can experience the specific situation on your own. The environment there won't be too strange. Also, Schilling is waiting for you on the other end of the network. She is also in charge of your communication with the real world. We will communicate with you through her … "
Tawil's last few words were blurred. The crystal cover of the access pod was completely closed. Through the translucent hard material, I could see that the scene in the lab was becoming more and more blurry and distorted. The familiar things seemed to be turning into strange spots and stripes in my eyes. My consciousness was rapidly sinking into a bottomless abyss. I waited for the minute of dizziness to pass. Suddenly, I remembered that I had forgotten to ask how long the mission would last. I wondered if I could make it in time for lunch.
'I've been with Shadora for too long …'
"Icetis, are you there?"
"I'm here. I feel good. Just a little dizzy."
"That's good. Let's do our best."
Then, the last bit of light in front of me disappeared along with the dizziness.
The feeling of rapid falling lasted for about ten seconds, or maybe it was only a moment. Anyway, under certain circumstances, people would always have an illusion of time. I found that my vision was bright again. The dizziness had also passed. It seemed that the upload process was completed smoothly. There was no so-called additional discomfort. I tried to open my eyes, but I didn't succeed on my first attempt. This was because my soul was still used to having a body to command it. Now that I was in the form of a ghost on the internet, "opening my eyes" became a false proposition due to the lack of a physical body. I thought about it and ignored the discomfort. I only needed a simple mental suggestion.
I want to see, I want to see, I can see.
A dazzling brilliance shone in front of him as a bizarre and dazzling world filled his vision: the spiritual world of the Xi Ling apostles, a vast expanse of land.
I looked at the scene in front of me in amazement. I felt that I had come to an absurd fantasy space. Under my feet was a boundless flat land. The material of the land was neither soil nor stone. It looked a little like plastic with a beautiful lavender and blue color. The land had almost no undulations around us, but in the far distance, there seemed to be straight and flat 'cliffs' rising from the ground. From afar, it looked like there were many vertical cube-shaped pillars on the ground.
This space did not have a normal sky. I had expected it. I did not expect to see the sun, the moon, the stars, the blue sky, and the like in this spiritual network. What covered the land was another inverted land. Unlike the flat land we were standing on, the land in the sky was composed of countless uneven rectangles. The cross-sections of the rectangles looked the same size. Because I was far away, I did not know how big they were. But when I looked closer, I could tell that they were quite large. They were squeezed close to each other without leaving any gap between them, like square chopsticks stuffed tightly into a chopstick basket, forming uneven "mountains" and "valleys." Their color and luster were similar to the ground under our feet. They were also light purple or blue, and their texture looked a little like plastic.
I looked up for a long time, and at last I ascertained that the "sky" was not motionless. The strips of different lengths that made up the sky were stretching and contracting with a certain regularity, so that the shape of the sky changed, and the mountains and valleys moved slowly, in a slow, but immense, slow-moving wave.
A slow wave that was inverted to the land.
This was all that we could see from where we had "logged in". It was rather absurd and incomprehensible. I couldn't think of any other place other than the mental network that could have such a scene. And according to Tarver's theory, what I was seeing wasn't the true "appearance" of the mental network. This was a scene that could be understood by people in the real world after being "translated" by transcoding equipment. As for what the real mental network looked like, it was probably something that outsiders would never be able to see. That was something that only Xi Ling could appreciate.
"By the way, how long do you intend to watch it for?"
Icetis's slightly displeased voice came from the side. Only then did I come back to my senses from the spectacular and strange wave in the sky. I saw that Sis Bing was already fully armed. Her wings were fluttering, the holy bow in her hand, and an arrow made of holy light was nocked on the bowstring.
"Ah, when did you get out?"
"Of course I got out after uploading. I can't always stay in a man's body. I'm not a fool."
I said, "… Can you say that again?"
"This place looks quite spectacular." Icetis didn't care about the righteous expression on my face. She analyzed the surroundings and suddenly frowned. "You said that Schilling would be waiting here. Where is she?"
"I've been here the whole time." Xi Ling's voice suddenly came from beneath my feet. I instantly quivered and hurriedly jumped back by more than two meters. Only then did I realize that the place where I had been standing earlier had somehow become like an LCD screen. A square screen that was about half a meter long was embedded in a series of flowing green data. On the screen was a smart girl with short black hair. I judged and felt that I might have stepped on Schilling's head …
Why did she appear in the form of a two-dimensional image!
