Chapter 217: Mind Jump (1/2)

”Do you still wanna do it?”

The duo sat on Kaleyx's bed as they tried to decide on something.

Jake voiced out his lack of interest on the matter but Kalyx seemed to be of the opposite opinion.

She said, ”Of course, don't you find it strange that a person was able to do that to us?”

True, Jake did find it strange.

However, it wasn't something completely unacceptable. Ever since he had gotten to these lands, he had accepted that in no way was he unrivalled.

He had suffered enough beatings to not consider himself special. There were a lot of special people and he was just one among the plenty.

”Yes. But I believe during the battle I had explained to you why he was so special. I listed his sources of power, didn't I? Frankly speaking, if he couldn't pack that much power despite possessing numerous talents, then he would be a failure,” sighed Jake.

It was one thing to come across an opponent with just talent.

It was another to come across one with two.

Yet, it was cataclysmic to come across one with more than two.

Unique Bloodline; White River Ant.

Special Physique; [Water Spirit Physique].

Natural Talents; Excellent comprehension, hand-to-hand skills, and more.

The deceased Kieran had all three.

He absolutely dominated them when they fought.

Once again, Jake had to stress that it wasn't unnatural for Kieran to pose a threat as he boasted of a lot of talents.

”Yeah, I know. However, there is something more I tell you. I could feel it,” Kaleyx tried to convince Jake.

He had not failed to notice her increased interest in the genius called Kieran.

However, the sad genius was dead. The duo personally killed him.

So, shouldn't she let the dead man slide?

Yet, she had come up with an idea of wanting to go into his head to check if he was truly abnormally special.

”Honestly, does it matter? He is dead. Yet, you had to mess with the dead. You prohibited him from finding peace after death,” sighed Jake.

”Do you care?” Kaleyx curled her lips

Jake knew that he didn't care. But he would love to think that after his death, he would be granted peace. So, he expected the same thing to happen to his enemies.

After all, it was not a personal fight.

He killed Kieran out of necessity, not of obsession.

He answered truthfully, ”No.”

Kaleyx, seeing an open spot, cajoled him, ”Then let's do it. When we are done, we can set him free. Don't act like you are not the least bit curious about how it would feel like.”

If people of the world knew of what she wanted to do, they would consider it heretical.

Yet, here she was, being so casual about it…...about taking a dive into another person's mindscape.

Jake knew part of her reason for wanting that was to fulfill her curiosity.

Her [Healing Path] granted her knowledge on the anatomical structure of most living beings, but not the ethereal structure, which the mindscape was a part of.

As a healer, she couldn't resist the allure of discovering new things.

Her fate with the theory of mindscapes was first established when she successfully sent Jake into his mindscape, granted that it was mostly successful due to Jake's [Mantra of Origin].

Her ingenuity in that field was big enough. And now, she wanted to take a step further by forcefully diving into another person's mindscape.

However, that wasn't enough for her. She was going to attempt it on a dead person.

To do that, she mercilessly locked the person's soul, mind, or whatever, in his body, preventing him from moving on.

If she wasn't being too ambitious, Jake wondered what was considered ambitious.

Yet, after all that was said, she was the same as Jake as she said...…..someone with a dangerously curious mind.

People like them could risk their minds just to fulfill their curiosity.

That was why she was sure that Jake couldn't refuse her offer.

Understanding he was trapped by himself, Jake sighed once again, ”Fine, but first, tell me how you can on doing the mind dive”
