"Why do you think I'm not dead? Didn't you just say I lost the memories of my previous soul? And my previous behavior was far from that of a B-class citizen, right?" Seeing the rabbit so flustered, Zhuochuan took the opportunity to ask.
"It's simple. The 'Sigh of Space and Time' skill, I remember you once proudly told me after you had just comprehended it, that in this space-time, no one other than your own soul could comprehend it," the black rabbit immediately answered Zhuochuan's question.
"As for your memory loss, it must have been erased during the space-time travel experiment due to the time not being fully controlled. And the fact that you are now no different from an ordinary reserve citizen is definitely because your soul has been greatly depleted, causing you to drop in rank, even losing your citizenship. But your soul skills are already ingrained in your bones, especially the 'Sigh of Space and Time,' which is the core of the entire soul space-time travel experiment. As long as your soul is greatly stimulated, you can re-comprehend it. From this point alone, I know you are not just a soul successor, but the soul of B47995 himself," the black rabbit speculated, while its two black eyes peeked through its short legs, secretly observing the changes in Zhuochuan's expression.
Fortunately, although Zhuochuan's expression changed several times, he did not get angry, which slightly reassured the rabbit. It thought, "Well, with his memory completely lost, he naturally won't have as much resentment towards me. But if he remembers, it won't be fun. I should take more preventive measures."
"Alright, alright, since you're not dead and your lost memories will eventually be recovered, let's just treat it as a new life. Let's cooperate again in a friendly manner. As for what you call me, just call me Big Black as you used to. Don't worry, great and noble master, I, Big Black, am always loyal to you, working hard and diligently, sparing no effort, and ready to do whatever it takes, whether it's you firing the shots and me keeping watch, or you making money and me doing the accounting..."
Zhuochuan listened with a bitter smile, waving his hand to interrupt the black rabbit's self-praise. This guy had changed quickly. He wouldn't correct the rabbit's assumptions, as they were mostly correct, except for the part about mistaking him for the soul of B47995. The rest matched his current situation.
Moreover, Zhuochuan was originally just a person from the modern world, with limited knowledge of souls. He could only confirm that his memories and thought patterns were still his own, but he couldn't guarantee that his soul hadn't mixed with some components of B4995's soul. He had heard a lot about soul fusion, but it was a matter of primary and secondary.
Now, his consciousness was definitely the dominant one, but considering Big Black's speculations, Zhuochuan also leaned towards the idea that his soul might contain fragments of B47995's soul, which is why he could comprehend three abnormal soul skills in succession.
Since this was the case, it wasn't entirely wrong, and at least the development of events was more favorable to Zhuochuan. He didn't have to worry about Big Black discovering any more secrets, as the rabbit had already provided its own explanation.
"Let me ask you first, Big Black. You said so much in your excitement, and I didn't have time to interrupt you. Those words are highly confidential, and as far as I know, the underground society is completely controlled by the Earth Mother. Aren't you worried about leaking information?"
The black rabbit perked up, thinking that since the master was now considering practical issues, it meant he wasn't going to pursue its previous major mistakes. It immediately replied, "Master, you haven't changed. Although you've lost your memories, your old thinking habits remain, and you still pay attention to being low-key."
"You don't need to worry about our conversation being leaked. Each upper-class citizen has their own way of keeping secrets, and the method you use to keep secrets was taught to you by me. I have a passive soul disguise skill that activates as soon as I am activated. Any conversation or action between us cannot be secretly monitored, even by the Earth Mother. Of course, if they openly listen and watch in front of us, there's nothing we can do."
It paused, "So, no one else will know about our conversation just now, except for us two."
After saying this, the black rabbit suddenly thought of something. It scratched its ear with its long hind legs and asked flatteringly, "Master, can you tell me how you managed to escape after the experiment failed? Don't worry, I, Big Black, will keep all your secrets as I always have."
Its curiosity was too strong to suppress, even though it knew that asking such a question might upset Zhuochuan, but it couldn't help itself.
Since Zhuochuan knew his secrets wouldn't be leaked, he felt relieved. He asked, "Let's not talk about that for now. Why do you think the experiment failed rather than succeeded?"
"Looks like you've lost all your memories. Otherwise, you wouldn't ask this question," Big Black was initially puzzled, but then found an explanation, "That's because a fragment of your soul is still inside my body. To travel through space-time, the soul must be complete. This is why you always brought me along during your space-time experiments. Since I'm still in this space-time, your space-time travel experiment must have failed."
At this point, Big Black muttered, "Not to mention, after I escaped, I saw the most terrifying disaster, a space-time storm, in the experimental field."
After saying this, it seemed to realize something and quickly flattered, "But, Master, you are indeed the most hidden upper-class citizen. Even after the space-time experiment failed, you could still bring your soul out intact from the space-time storm. That's amazing, even S-class citizens couldn't do it."
Zhuochuan didn't comment on the rabbit's flattery. What made him happiest was confirming his two major secrets: one, his soul came from the modern world, and two, he could travel through space-time, which this clever rabbit hadn't figured out.
However, he still needed to confirm one thing: whether this Big Black could tell if his soul had been transferred to another space-time.
Others had a distance from him, but this black rabbit might be by his side all the time. Given its intelligence, it might have some suspicions.
But Zhuochuan wasn't too worried. From the black rabbit's attitude before and after, he knew it was terrified of the previous B47995, who probably held the key to its life and death. The soul fragment mentioned by the rabbit was likely related to this.
Zhuochuan didn't think too much about it. What he wanted to know now was what abilities this black rabbit had, after all the effort to activate it.
"Alright, I don't remember the past, so let's not talk about it for now," Zhuochuan wouldn't say anything to write off the past, as that would be self-defeating, "You said you could ensure I become a citizen again within three years. Tell me how to do it."
