Year 1034 of the Zhang Dynasty - Outlands of Heavenly Phoenix City - Linjian farm
[Wake up] ???
...
[Wake up or you will die] ???
“Whaaaaaagh“ Linjian
I stand up.
“XUE!“ Linjian
To my surprise, my body responds perfectly.
[There is no need to scream, you need water now] ???
....I am fine?
[WATER] ???
I wear the silver pendant that I had in my left hand.
[WATER, NOW!] ???
My mouth feels extremely dry, so I slowly go to the kitchen and drank from the water jug on the table.
[Yes, keep drinking] ???
I keep drinking till the jug was empty.
[That will do for now] ???
“Where are you?“ Linjian
A voice keeps resonating in my head.
[In your head] ???
“In my head?“
[I am Maria Campbell, a forgotten personality from your past life] Maria
“......what?“
[You can call me Maria] Maria

......there are other things I need to do now.
[Are you going to ignore me after I saved you?] Maria
I go back to the bedroom.
Ziyun...Xue...
They are still there, sleeping forever.
[*gasp*] Maria
The voice in my head sounds surprised.
I use the bed sheets to cover them and then I take them outside.
[......] Maria
With a shovel I start digging, and keep digging till there are two holes of enough deep to bury a body.
“Ziyun, I will never forget you“ Linjian
I caress the silver pendant and then I bury her.
“Xue, I promise you that this world will change“ Linjian
I bury her too, and then my tears started to fall. I cried for hours...
After recovering my composure, I buried all the people in the village in their respective homes.
------------------------
The light of the morning sun goes through the gaps in the wall.
After sleeping in the barn it was silent but I somehow knew she was there.
“So, you are called Campbell“ Linjian
I tried talking to the voice in my head.
[No, that is my surname. Call me Maria]
Why did she said her name first? weird.
“Then, Maria“
[That is better. And it is not necessary to speak, after all I am in your head] Maria
...
(Is this enough to communicate?)
[That is right]
(You said that you are a forgotten personality from my past life, right?)
[Yes]
(Could you explain it?)
[Yes, well... how do I start?...]
........
[Do you know what a soul is?]
(It is the central piece of all life)
[No, there are life forms without souls]
?
[The soul is the origin of a person, the starting point of feelings]
(And you and I have the same soul?)
[Yes and no, we have completely different memories and experiences in our lives that have molded the soul in different ways]
(Molded the soul?)
[Our soul when we were babies were the same, but now we are slightly different]
(So you weren't a farmer in your life, then what were you?)
[I was a nurse]
(A what?)
[A person with medical knowledge that helps other persons]
(Like an acupuncture user)
[Don't you dare compare acupuncture to actual medical knowledge!]
!!!
[...sorry, I really don't like when in cultivation novels people cures terminal patients with just needles. It looks like they are looking down at science]
(Cultivation novels?)
[I came from a world where the cultivators were just fictional characters]
(You lived in a world without cultivators?!)
[Yes]
(How was that possible?!)
[We can talk about in detail after]
(After?, does that mean that you will keep existing in my head?)
[I am practically fused with your soul, so I don't think we will separate soon]
(Having someone of a world without cultivators will help me, but...)
[but?]
(How did you even retained your memories? Will you not disappear like you came?)
[I wont disappear because your skill called me]
(Skill?)
[Yes, you awakened your skill in a moment of life or death]
I remembered the voice I heard before passing out.
(You mean...)
[Yes, the...]
