Chapter 1655 Daimon Aftermath -Part 4

"Is something the problem?" Jin asked as Qiu Yue was not the kind who would call unless there was something urgent.

"People are looking for you, especially after you made your appearance in the Virtual Simulation. They had lots of questions, some genuinely due to concerns while others were..you know. The usual, asking for help. I am tired of holding them back for you." Qiu Yue complained.

"Erm… even if I want to return back. There is no way for me to do so. The Synthesis World is still creating the Soul Inhibitor and Extractor."

"Can't we just give them ours? We did make our Virtual Reality Pods based on theirs anyways." Qiu Yue asked, feeling awfully frustrated.

"The protocols are different and even if it does work, we don't have our body with us. There is no way for me to go back."

"You can always use this dummy that the Gods gave us. It's quite a dummy though, I punched it a few times and it didn't react back." Qiu Yue seemed to grin when she thought about it. 

"Syn, how long can you fix the Soul Extractor?" Jin tried shouting randomly and it worked.

"Unlike what the others had been through, your body had been out of contact with your soul for some time. The connection between your body and soul might have been severed and the machine that we are working with is to increase the survivability of your soul entering your body." 

"In short? I'm kinda fucked and now you tell me about it?" Jin did not know about this.

"We were short of time when we explained this to you. However, with the experience and data we have collected, we are currently building a newer version that should be able to forcefully connect both body and soul. So long the soul is resistant enough, it should be able to return to the body. However, there might be certain side effects or even rejections from the body, and the soul inhibitor needed to be built to ensure the soul does not run."

"Oh gosh. Then System, can Kraft do anything about it? Or can you do something about it? After all, you are an expert when it comes to souls." 

The System suggests using the dummy that Qiu Yue had been beating as a proxy. If Ex System User Ming had successfully trained you in mental fortitude, there is a pretty high chance that you can connect to the proxy momentarily and later use the real body to merge with the soul after contact."

"I do not like you using the words pretty high chance. You rarely give arbitrary numbers." Jin remarked and the System kept quiet for a moment until Qiu Yue entered the conversation again.

"Sigh. Since I am going to be stuck with Dummy Jin for a while more, I will do what I can to prolong your absence. But be quick about it, I am getting tired of giving excuses." 

"Thank you, Qiu Yue. Your dedication will be rewarded." Jin replied and Qiu Yue gave a middle finger back.

"Sub System User Qiu Yue. While you are at it, please charge the dummy with as much chi as possible. Get as many people and minions to beat the dummy but preferable people that Jin knows. The residual chi within the punches and blows will undoubtedly aid in the connection of the soul and the body." 

"Lol, then what happens the soul stucks with the proxy?" Qiu Yue asked while already giving a punch to the dummy Jin.

"It's fine. This means that User's soul can integrate with the body even more easily. We have the soul extractor and his soul can be removed from the proxy." The System reassured Qiu Yue and she laughed. 

"Excellent, time to put more energy into this Dummy Jin then. Okay, I'm out. Good luck in your adventure dumb dumb Jin." Qiu Yue officially closed the communication line and it made Jin a little worried. 

"I know that's not me per se, but I kind of feel the pain that is circulating through me," Jin commented.

"Perhaps, that's Sub System User Qiu Yue's way of giving love to you." The System remarked and Syn had no idea that both of them were joking with each other.

"Please give us an update when the machine is up. Then my colleagues will start getting my real body back while I am stuck here doing nothing for them."

"Not exactly, you are providing them data and they are working based on that agreement." The System stated and Jin sighed loudly.

"Is something the matter?" Page came in as she thought that Jin called her.

"Nothing of importance, I just sighed too loudly because of the situation I'm in." 

"Do not think too hard about it. Sometimes, all you need is to take a step back. The bigger picture has always been there for you to see." 

"Well, if the bigger picture involved hitting the Empire's Royal Family. I think everyone else would also have sighed with me." 

"I would not beg to differ, for I feel the same. I cannot believe they were willing to remove the entire city just for the sake of removing evidence." 

"Some people are just this despicable."

"The way you said that you are living the life of a righteous person." 

"Ha! Righteous? I think I cheated and broke more laws than ever to get to where I am. It is just that it's so happened that I defeated badder guys which made me the good guy. Otherwise, I am equally as bad. Just look at where we are. If we had not gone to Mount Sunn, all these would not have happened."

"Then, I would not have been reborn and talking to you right here right now." Page said and Jin kept quiet for a moment. "There are some things that might seem dark and filled full of trouble but that doesn't mean there are no silver linings to the situation. Perhaps those linings are currently stained black and you need some time to find it or let it shimmer for you to realise there's something good out of this entire situation." 

"I will think about it," Jin said and Page quietly left Jin to his own rest.
