'Now that I think about it, it didn't even once cross my mind why I was here or what I was doing before I woke up!'

  He was very shocked.

  'Why was I going crazy about that headless body when I wasn't the one to do it? Only after this being told me I am reincarnated did I actually think about it. It's like I forgot! How can anyone forget that!?'

  The woman looked at him, busy with his thoughts. She could read minds and was fully aware of what he was thinking.

  'So he did forget about it. But how can anyone forget such an important thing? Unless somebody tinkered with his mind!" she thought. "But I can't see any traces of ability use in him. Either he is actually stupid or the one who did it is a lot higher than me in existence.'

  She was pissed. If only she were at her full strength.

  After letting him rack his brain for some time, she asked him about his world.

  Surprisingly, he did remember his world. He told her about Earth and its society.

  "Do you remember anything about yourself?" she asked, testing him.

  "Yes, I do. My name was....."

  'What was my name again? How did I forget my name? Wait... How did I look? I can't even remember my parents. I can't remember my life either.'

  He fell silent.

  'So he doesn't remember anything about himself or anything related to him. But why is he still able to remember his world but not his own life?'

  She was very confused. If somebody erased his memories of his life, why did they leave his memories of his previous world intact?

  They could have just erased everything and been done with it.

  She fell into thought, trying to understand their intentions.

  Suddenly, her head jerked. She remembered something.

  'When he woke up in the new body, he clearly laughed at how the original died. It meant he understood that he was in a new body.'

  'But then such thoughts never came again. He started going crazy, thinking he was the one who raped that girl—as if he were assimilating with the old soul.'

  'No wonder I didn't feel any trace of an ability. The one who transmigrated him didn't use any ability. They just placed a mental manipulator in his mind that sucked away the thoughts and memories that pointed to his previous self!'

  It was as if that person wanted him to naturally become one with the body so as to avoid any linking issues.

  If the soul thought of their new body as someone else's and not their own, then they wouldn't be able to show their full potential.

  She understood what was going on, and it made her even more nervous.

  That person didn't even use an ability—just a basic trick—and she wasn't able to find it.

  She was one of the strongest beings in the world, someone who boasted about being the best in the mind-related field, yet even she had been fooled.

  How strong must that person be?

  She was sure that person was the one she was looking for.

  Both were silent under the beautiful night, both afraid of someone.
