56 Special Existence (1/2)
”If I did what does I traveled back to an earlier time, what does that mean?” Mina asked in utter confusion.
'If there was no way for a soul to travel back to another time, what happened to me?'
”There are several possibilities,” Devin looked as if he was preparing to list a hundred things without getting impatient. Unlike Kino, this person could explain things better but he seems to be too long-winded which made Mina feel frustrated, to say the least.
”Could there have been some error in the network and I was catapulted back in time?” Mina suggested. It was a logical explanation after all. Devin started at her with the same look Kino gave her before hitting her with a stick.
”No. Not possible. No errors were detected. I was in the control room all this time.”
”So, WHAT?!”
Mina grabbed a bunch of hair and pulled it upwards. This person was starting to gnaw on her nerves.
”Hmmm...” Devin said thoughtfully. ”What was it like to be in a cat's body?”
'Why won't he just answer the question, this is annoying!' Seeing him looking on patiently, prompting her for an answer, Mina gave up and answered truthfully.
”Like a cat. Faster. A different field of vision. More interested in some things than others.”
”Strings?”
”Small moving things?”
Devin suggested and Mina couldn't help but nod. She was about to launch a barrage of questions to prod him to reveal more when the man spoke again.
”It seems like you've adapted quickly. Some souls retain the abilities they had in their original form even if they enter another body,” Devin explained.
”If your soul molded right into that shell, that means you have even better abilities than other souls manning the network.”
'So his questions have some point after all.' More curious than annoyed, Mina went on to ask.
”What happens if I had a regular soul?”
”Regular souls could rarely enter another body - human or animal. Rookie souls in the network can only enter empty shells. Rookie souls can possess unconscious human shells but once a person regains consciousness, they will be kicked out of that body.”
'I never thought possessing a body can be that complicated! Horror movies are all wrong!!!'
Before Mina's thoughts could wander further, Devin continued to explain.
”My shell is special, it's not completely empty. A bit of my soul remains in that body.”
”You mean, your soul was there when I possessed it? How come I did not get kicked out?” Before Devin could reply, Mina quickly added, ”I've never felt another presence!”
”That's what makes you special. Not anyone can enter my shell, not even a rookie unless they have the authorization to do it. I have to leave a bit of my soul in that pod to allow the soul in that body to access this pod. That's how you end up in this place.”
”What does that mean?”
