An excited heart, trembling hands.
At this moment, Ouyang Qianjin didn't know what words to use to describe her feelings.
Although I repeatedly denied my own guess in my heart.
But only this guess can explain the notification sound from the panel in my mind just now.
Why not ask the magical Sebastian at a time like this?
Although I am a necromancer, a profession that should involve dealing with souls.
But my level is too low.
Moreover, it has only been a few months since he became a necromancer.
Compared to himself, this old man who had lived in this other world where the concept of 'soul' existed for fifty years must know far more.
"Sebastian".
"Young Miss."
"I wonder how the soul is viewed in your world?"
Now that she has such a valuable source of intelligence by her side, there's no reason why Miss Ouyang wouldn't make use of it.
Moreover, she doesn't need to worry about the other party deceiving her.
This is probably the benefit of skeleton transformation, right?
"You mean...the soul?"
Sebastian hesitated for a moment.
Then, Ouyang Qianjin told Sebastian about her illness, as well as her reaction after absorbing the soul.
"I see……"
Now Sebastian finally understood why Miss Ouyang had suddenly asked him that question.
After considering it for a moment, old Sebastian spoke to Miss Ouyang.
“This old servant doesn’t know much about matters of the soul, but judging from your description just now, there is no doubt that your illness is related to damage to your soul.”
As a human being, and also as the Earl's butler, Sebastian actually had access to a wide range of information.
At least compared to Ouyang Qianjin, she knows much more.
"In our world, the exploration of the nature of the soul has never stopped."
"Whether it's the power theory, the mystery theory, the sacred theory, or the evil theory, they are all assumptions about the essence of the soul."
"However, regardless of the school of thought, there is a basic definition of the soul..."
What is the basic definition?
Upon hearing these four words, Ouyang Qianjin frowned slightly.
What is that?
That's the mirror theory.
"Mirror?"
"Yes, it's like the image of you outside a mirror and the image of you inside the mirror. Of course, you can also think of it as the surface of water, or anything that can reflect light."
"Aren't the shadows cast by the light almost the same?"
Ouyang Qianjin was somewhat puzzled.
"Of course they are different, because a shadow is something that can be seen and touched, while you in the mirror are something that can only be seen but not touched, no matter what."
"Well……"
Upon hearing Old Sebastian's words, Ouyang Qianjin was initially taken aback.
Then I remembered that in the world of old Sebastian, there were professions like 'Shadow Mage'.
The evidence is the [Shadow Mage] that appeared on the leaderboard.
So for them, a shadow is not something that can be seen but not touched.
Rather, it is a tangible 'entity' that can be used as a skill.
"Well, to give an analogy... it's like the story I saw in the 'library' about a monkey trying to scoop the moon's reflection from the water at night."
Seeing the bewildered expression on Ouyang Qianjin's face, old Sebastian thought she still hadn't understood.
So he supplemented his explanation with the knowledge of this world that he had learned that night.
"So that's how it is, a flower in a mirror, the moon's reflection in water?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean."
Sebastian nodded.
"But just as you said, Miss, there was no passage to our world eight years ago, so there's only one possibility left..."
"What's possible?"
Ouyang Qianjin asked curiously.
"Anchor point".
The ghostly blue flames in Sebastian's eyes flickered.
“Use your soul as an anchor point, and then draw information about the world or its coordinates from that anchor point.”
"..."
Anchor points.
Teleportation, coordinates, and the like.
These were things that Ouyang Qianjin, who was forced to become a gamer, was naturally familiar with.
But the question is, why myself?
If it's just an anchor point, anyone can be one of the world's more than 10 billion people.
But it was myself.
"So, the car accident that caused my illness could very well have been an accident while we were anchoring at our destination in this other world? Was it one of those extremely rare 'lotteries'?"
As she spoke, the young lady of the Ouyang family turned her head and looked at the car on the side of the road that had been burned to its skeleton, and said calmly.
"It's a pity, but the possibility is extremely high."
As soon as Sebastian said those words, the smile on Ouyang Qianjin's face disappeared.
Instead, there is a coldness.
Like the snowflakes falling on my head now, beautiful, yet cold.
Yes.
Although I already knew the answer, I couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.
But Sebastian's words left Ouyang Qianjin with nowhere to hide.
Randomness—
It really was just that casual.
"Okay—haha—"
After a moment of silence, Ouyang Qianjin couldn't help but burst into laughter.
But then he suddenly lowered his head.
Long black hair obscured the girl's profile, making it impossible to see her expression.
"Sebastian".
"exist."
"I was originally diagnosed with only about two years to live."
“I know.”
