You call this the mastermind?

The bright sunshine seeped in from the window, warm as spring, and seemed to be mixed with some of the vitality and noise unique to the campus.

In the bedroom, Melen, standing in front of the mirror and looking at himself at this moment, was in a strange mood.

Obviously, this was a very special experience, but for him, it was already a familiar thing.

Looking back on the past, if I remember correctly, the first time Melen had such an experience was with Alyssa, which was a very bad experience.

Not long ago, he was still sharing a body with a nun.

So although the body structure has changed greatly, it did not cause any psychological impact on Melen.

After looking at the mirror to adapt a little, he turned around, put on his clothes, and then sat at the head of the bed and fell into thought, and his scattered vision was also placed inside the invisible field outside.

Or, on the blue ball of light.

"It is known that this portal is closely connected with my thoughts. Through the change of thoughts, I can exchange bodies with specific targets."

"But this is not the only ability of the portal."

Mellen began to summarize in his heart.

The emergence of this soul transfer ability did not surprise him.

Because he did not forget what this field was made of when it was first born-there are many elements, including the ability to control the surrounding space that he once had.

Seriously speaking, the ethereal ability to spread thoughts to a certain space around should be the prototype of the field.

And Mellen used it to possess others several times.

So rather than saying that this is a unique power of the portal, it is better to say that this is an extension or promotion of some special powers in the past.

"But my intuition tells me that what I can control is not only the souls of those specific people, but also their bodies."

He gradually gained something from examining his own behavior.

Considering that many things are extending according to some ideas in his mind, Mellen does not doubt that this portal corresponds to the plan of the main god space.

As for the main god space, it must require "players", or so-called reincarnations, to participate in its operation.

How to pull them into the space is a problem that Melen needs to deal with.

So at this point, it seems that the birth of the portal is obviously a manifestation of the result of this problem.

However, it seems that there is still a long way to go to make it truly evolve into a qualified reincarnation selection mechanism.

Because now, Melen cannot use it to sense too many candidates, and can only perceive a limited number of them.

Such a few people may have miraculous effects if used well, but for the concept of the main god space itself, they are of no use.

After all, what Melen wants is to obtain a large number of fates based on this to serve as a "skill library", not a few tool people.

"On the one hand, we need to spread the prayer in depth, and on the other hand, we still need to find ways to continue to improve it..."

Melen thought.

He actually started doing the previous thing, but before that, Melen just regarded this matter as a secondary matter and did not pay much attention to it.

Now his thoughts have changed a little.

However, this kind of thing is not something that can be done immediately if you rush to do it.

So Melen didn't pay attention to the changed field anymore, and turned his eyes to the surrounding environment. In other words, he checked his current living conditions.

In general, this is a good thing.

Although his current body is a little awkward, no matter what, he has been separated from, or has a channel to temporarily leave the past era.

Considering that the invisible power that maintains his vests still exists in the field, he can even show his true face, or the face of Egg Wilson.

However, when putting on the vest, the current body will be changed to a certain extent. Melen feels that his original body has been strengthened by the breathing method, and it is nothing to change, but this one is a nun, and he dare not experiment casually.

At the same time, besides the good things, there are also troubles.

This is not to say that his ability to change the body has any sequelae. Melen carefully explored it and found that there was no abnormality. Although there is a certain sense of alienation when using it, this feeling does not affect him from doing anything as if he is in his own body.

The trouble comes from this body itself.

In a sense, in this world, apart from the nun herself, only Melen knows her body best.

But now, Melen thinks that he doesn't know it thoroughly.

Because as he quickly adapted to everything in this body, he was surprised to find that some strange thoughts were constantly invading his mind.

"Is this due to the influence of the demon bloodline?"

Melen was a little uncertain about this.

After Lydia became a nun, the bloodline that originally belonged to human wizards was transformed into a bloodline similar to that of demons. Melen had already experienced this situation when the other party came to the door and transformed not long ago.

Later, when the two of them were traveling through time and space, Lydia mentioned that the changes in her bloodline were mainly used to give birth to Alyssa - only by turning herself into a non-human and having the bloodline of the hell system can she be qualified to become the container for the birth of the mother of hell.

Yes, container.

Lydia never thought she was Alyssa's mother.

Because there is no father's role in this process, it is completely different from normal human reproduction.

In name only, Anthony is just the performer of the birth ceremony.

And according to Lydia's account, the couple's life as a couple was completely in name only. Apart from holding hands, they even lost their first kiss after arriving at Melen.

The reason is, on the one hand, because of the eunuchs.

On the other hand, according to "Anthony"'s explanation, because of the existence of demon blood, Lydia cannot have too many "distractions", otherwise she will be easily affected by the blood and fall, and it will also involve the mother of hell. Developmental issues.

After all, the connection between Alyssa and Lydia is much closer than a normal mother and daughter.

As a baby and even as a young child, Alyssa could not withstand the influence of external desires. Although the two parties could not connect at will before this, there was still a certain resonance in the subconscious.

In the past, Mellen would not comment on this explanation. Although he felt that it made sense, he still felt that this statement was questionable and was an excuse Anthony made for himself for some reason.

After all, not all bloodlines can have as bad an influence as Alyssa.

However, now, feeling the influence of this body on his thinking every moment, he felt that maybe this was really the case, and that he had thought wrong before?

"But Lydia doesn't seem to be affected..."

After recalling all the previous events, Mellen was somewhat doubtful about his life.

Could this still be my own problem?

Then after a while, he suddenly realized that it was not because of his body's bloodline, and it certainly wasn't because of him.

The root of the problem comes from blood, but it is not simply demon blood. When he felt it carefully, Mellen was surprised to realize that he could actually discover the existence of Alyssa in this body! This kind of discovery is very strange, it is like becoming a pregnant woman, but it is different.

Mellen believed that if it was Lydia herself, she would be familiar with the current feeling, because the two of them were crowded together during the time travel before, and it should be a similar situation.

However, although Meren could not control his body back then, he could speak.

At this time, Alyssa, who existed in the body, was motionless, as if she was sleeping, or she was really like a baby who didn't know what to say.

"Should I try to wake her up?"

This felt a little weird in my heart, but when I thought about it rationally, it made Meren hesitate.

Although he has not paid attention to Alyssa's affairs in the past two days due to many reasons, he knows that she is still sleeping.

It's uncertain what consequences this slumber can cause, but prolonged sleep itself is clearly abnormal.

But now, perhaps because he is also an outsider, Melen feels that he has the ability to contact the sleeping counterpart.

But, is this good or bad?

It can be felt that the sleeping partner may be undergoing sublimation in a certain sense. For Alyssa herself, this sublimation should be a good thing.

But considering that her bloodline is not a good thing, it is not necessarily a good thing...

Melen hesitated because of this, but before he could think about what to do next, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Have things really reached this point?"

The voice sighed softly and said, "Maybe you should re-examine yourself and figure out what it is you want."

The words seemed a bit baffling.

When Melen looked sideways, a silver-haired figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar caught his eye.

"...Sylvie?"

…

"Are you really okay?"

When Mellen met an unexpected person in reality, the nun was still communicating with herself in this era in the past time.

Relying on her understanding of herself, she had a very pleasant exchange with the other party.

It can even be said that it has aroused the goodwill of the girl in front of him to a certain extent.

So, when the nun one after another felt that she was inexplicably spinning around visually, and even staggered unconsciously while standing on the same spot, the girl who kept smiling in front of her finally couldn't help but greet her.

"Maybe I'm seasick."

The nun answered, and then said in an uncomfortable tone under the strange gaze of the other party: "Sorry, Miss Chelsea, I think I should go back and take a rest first."

"It doesn't matter, your body is important."

The girl said considerately: "However, it is rare for wizards to have such symptoms. This may involve soul shock, so I suggest that you see the ship's doctor before taking a rest."

"Thanks, I'll consider it."

As she said that, she looked like a fat little girl with a round face and smiled apologetically, then turned around and hurried towards the entrance of the cabin.

"What a weird guy."

The blond girl watched his leaving figure from behind, her smile faded, and she murmured thoughtfully, "But it seems like it has nothing to do with my sister..."

She didn't think much about it, because in her opinion, this meeting was just a special person she met during the journey. The two of them had many similar hobbies and interests, which inevitably made her feel good and close to him.

But that's all.

Maybe if they continue to meet a few more times, they will become friends?

With this idea in mind, the young girl Lydia focused on appreciating the surrounding seascape.

Her performance was completely different from the beautiful first meeting in the nun's memory.

But memory is deceptive. If you think the past is worth remembering, you will naturally add a lot of beautiful emotions to your mind to fill it, but in reality it may be just a trivial matter.

However, as the person involved, the nun did not pay attention to whether there were any errors or omissions in her memory. At this moment, she was at a loss because of the frequent "dizziness".

"What is going on?"

Sitting on the hard bed in the simple guest room, she, who looked like a little fat, covered her head with her hands, resisting the "shaking" of the world around her, while gritting her teeth in annoyance.

"Damn Mellen, why don't you come out?"

Being suddenly dragged into this body, who else could be the initiator except Mellen?

And the purpose, she thought, was not for experimentation, but to let her come out to "attack" another self.

This behavior is very bad. Lydia certainly won't be in a good mood because of the bad experience. The inexplicable "seasickness" at this moment must be because she is not the real owner of this body, so she is rejected.

So she will be even more angry.

In short, Lydia, who should have treated the relationship between the two with caution, can't help but want to lose her temper now-she is not a docile and honest woman, and she will not be a cowardly and submissive.

However, more than half an hour has passed, and Mellen still hasn't appeared. Instead, the "seasickness" symptoms disappeared inexplicably.

"Did he encounter an accident?"

After the initial anger passed, Lydia gradually calmed down, and this thought flashed through her mind.

Although the previous speculation is very likely, there is no evidence after all. During this process, she and Mellen did not exchange a word, so what is the situation now is not a certain thing.

So, Mellen, who disappeared for no reason, was watching from the side? Or did he do something else?

Or did he encounter some changes?

Think about it carefully. If he wanted to pull me over to attack another me, then even if he had some confidence in this, he should have watched from the side, right?

After all, this was the first attempt, not the first time he had done it hundreds or thousands of times. He had no reason to leave...

The more he thought about it, the greater the possibility of an accident.

Lydia couldn't help but worry, and it was even difficult for her to calm down and think carefully. She could only stand up and pace back and forth in the narrow guest room to relieve her anxiety.

During this process, she completely forgot her previous anger, and unconsciously, the idea of ​​pursuing Mellen's rogue behavior was temporarily thrown out of her mind.

This state lasted for about half an hour.

Until she suddenly felt a familiar breath coming out of her body.

"Where did you go just now, Mellen?"

Lydia immediately asked, "What's going on?"
