Industrial Cthulhu, starting from the island lord

Chapter 102 Don’t answer! Don’t answer! Don’t answer!

He had already confirmed that the symbiotic contract had not been brought to the throne.

When the distance between the contractors is too far, they will continue to lose vitality. Taking advantage of this, Zeus conducted a lot of tests.

For example, returning to the Golden Throne at the extreme position, and then letting the banshees approach or move away, while he switches between the palace and other bodies respectively.

The final conclusion is that the signatory of this symbiotic contract is his body, Lord Xius.

Even if he descends into another body, he will not have the ability of a symbiotic contract. At the same time, the banshees can still exchange vitality with Lord Zeus's empty body.

The symbiotic contract does not bind the soul, or in other words, "Xius" is not a soul that can be restricted by this contract.

This did not surprise him. The Golden Throne was obviously a being of very high status, and it seemed that it could not be restricted by a symbiotic contract.

But now he suddenly discovered that he could still use the mind link, but he did not have a symbiotic contract with the banshees here!
Hughes was silent, tapping the table with his fingers and supporting his head with his other hand in thought.

""

"I still have the ability to connect with my mind. There are two possibilities."

"First of all, there is a symbiotic contract within Throne King Zeus, so he can use a mind link."

"Another possibility is that this is an ability I already have."

To be honest, both possibilities are a bit hard to believe. If it is the first one, he cannot explain why there is such a symbiotic contract. The contract of the Sirens requires physical contact to sign. Have they been here?
This is not the sea. The sirens can only gain the ability to walk on land after signing a contract with him. If they are sirens who have not signed a contract, how could they come here?

Could it be that this palace was previously in the sea?

Xius shook his head. This kind of speculation was meaningless. Speculation without a basis in reality was no different from fantasy.

Another possibility is that he can use the mind link himself, which seems reasonable, but
"But why can't I use it after I descended into the body?"

"Is this ability only useful here?"

This is another speculation that is difficult to disprove or confirm.

"Forget it, let's go back to the island first. We still have too little information. We can explore again later."

"However, the Fire Moths seem to possess many secrets and know the difference between evil gods and outer gods. Perhaps they know something about this palace."

"I'm looking forward to tonight's dinner more and more."

Zeus turned his head to look at the body of the noble young man, and called out for a while in despair before descending.

"Is anyone there?"

"Can you hear me?"

"Are you there?"

『.』

After descending into Lord Zeus's body, Zeus immediately opened the mind link.

"Monica?"

"Uh, I'm here."

Receiving the reply made Zeus feel inexplicably relieved. He had encountered too many strange situations today. Seeing that the banshee was still communicating normally, he actually felt at ease.

"How much do you know about mind links?"

"I don't know much about it. Oh, there are some, go ahead and ask." "Is the telepathic link exclusive to banshees? Have you heard of other races having it too?"

"Wait a minute. Hmm, it seems so. I haven't heard of other races having it."

"Is this ability only obtainable through a symbiotic contract?"

"I think so. Yes, that's right, yes!"

Hughes frowned.

"Why are you talking so strangely?"

"Because, hey, actually I don't really understand these things. I asked Una, she knows a lot more."

".Then why don't you just let Una talk to me directly?"

"You're not connected to her, you're only connected to me, so you can only hear my voice."

Indeed, it is equivalent to WeChat not opening the dialog box, right?
Hughes suddenly paused.

Without a link, there can be no communication.
Soul link
Could it be that while he was on the throne, there was actually someone who could receive his message, but couldn't because the link was not established?
But how can we connect to it?

Here, he has a symbiotic contract, and the two are already connected, so they can naturally be easily connected. However, between the thrones, he does not have any information about the other party, and he does not even know if there is really anyone who can receive the information. How can they be connected?

Wait, I remember studying the mind link of the symbiotic contract before.
Hughes fell into recollection.

It seemed like the first time he and Ash dived into the sea together, when Ash was still a bloated monster.

He discovered that the mind link could be transmitted in a straight line within the visual range, and the effect dropped rapidly after being blocked. He concluded that this was very similar to radio communication.

Later, in the cave, after signing symbiotic contracts with all the banshees, he found that the power of the mental connection had been enhanced and could penetrate even very thick rock layers.

He didn't think about it at the time, but now it seems
This really is like radio communication, and the enhancement of the mental link is somewhat similar to an increase in transmission power.

The application of radio communication is extremely broad, and walkie-talkies are radio communication.

The simplest walkie-talkies often have several fixed frequency bands that can be selected by simply rotating the knob. As long as the two walkie-talkies select the same frequency band, they can communicate with each other.

Anyone who has used this simple walkie-talkie has basically encountered a situation where the frequency band is occupied by someone else.

At this time, your speech in this frequency band can be heard by others, and you can also hear the speech on the other side.

This is because radio communication is not point-to-point in nature, but more like two parties shouting at each other, and as long as the channel is the same, they can hear each other.

The frequency band for civilian walkie-talkies is very limited, 409-410MHz, with only twenty channels in total. It's easy to overlap, so any U-band radio can quickly scan all of them. (Note: Using a radio requires a license, and the radio itself needs to be registered. Do not attempt to use it without a license, as it is illegal.)
In other words, even if you have no idea what channel the other party is on, it is not completely impossible to communicate. As long as you search one channel at a time, you will eventually meet them by chance.

If only mind links were like radios.
If someone is really using the mind link, listen to the voice on the other end
Then one day, Xiu Si will be able to try all the channels one by one and communicate with the other party.

"My Lord?"

".What's wrong?"

"It's okay. I was a little worried when I saw you suddenly stopped talking."

"Let Oona sort out the information about the Banshee tribe. I'm very interested in the history of this race. As for you, Monica!"

"Uh, yes."

"Come with me to the laboratory in the east, and I'll see what you've summoned."
