A foreigner's journey

Bits and pieces of life flow turned into fluorescence, emerged and surrounded the three people.

This was the first time that Alice took the initiative to tap into such a strong flow of life. She could only maintain a devout posture of clasping her hands in prayer, trying her best to communicate with the will of the planet.

It was such a warm voice, like her own mother whispering softly in her ears.

Alice was calling in her heart, please listen to our voices and help Claude.

On the other side, Heather also frowned, trying her best to stabilize her mental energy output without causing damage to Claude's body. The situation this time is different from the previous [Forced Thought Opening]. The sperm pores in Claude's body are still not all open. It seems that the Jenova cells are resisting the invasion of Heather's thought energy?

Cloud's unconscious struggle became more and more manic, and Barrett and Yuffie tried their best to hold him down so that he wouldn't interfere with Heather's mind energy output.

But if the stalemate continues like this, I'm afraid Claude's body will be overwhelmed by Heather's energy first.

At that time, either he will be like [Red Flag] Drake in the world of One Piece and his energy will be lost and become a withered corpse, or his body will be completely destroyed by Heather's energy and become a useless person.

Jesse looked here from a distance, his hands clenched so nervously that they turned white.

In a trance, Heather felt that she was among the hills under the night sky, half-kneeling down in a sea of ​​reeds half as tall as a man. The white reeds all over the mountains and plains were undulating like ocean waves, blown by the cool night breeze.

It seemed that someone was standing behind her. Heather knew who it was without looking back, and a smile appeared on her lips:

"Help me."

A dreamlike and beautiful chuckle sounded in Heather's ears, and a slender white hand reached out from Heather's side and gently pressed on the back of Heather's hand.

Heather opened her eyes suddenly and saw Alice looking around in surprise. The flow of life that was originally surrounding like fireflies dimmed slightly, and then the light suddenly increased at the same time!

Under the night sky, beside the bonfire, bright green light pillars soared into the sky, and the flow of life gathered into a fountain, wrapping everyone in it.

Standing aside, Jesse felt dizzy. The last image that flashed through his mind was the woman with blond hair that reached her waist and in a white dress standing behind Heather.

Who is that?

…………………………………………

…………………………

………………

The crisp sound of water droplets sounded intermittently, Jesse's eyelids trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.

She found herself sitting on the pavement of a mountain path. The sky was obscured by thick clouds and looked groggy. A quiet village built on the mountain could be vaguely seen at the end of the road in the distance behind her.

This is where?

Jesse scratched the rocks on the ground, but couldn't touch anything. It was as if he was dreaming.

By the way, how did you get here?

Before Jesse could think about it, he suddenly noticed a few people coming from the other end of the road. She quickly got up and hid aside. When she saw the leader of the team, her beautiful big eyes widened.

Sephiroth!

It was different from Jesse's impression. Although the current Sephiroth was still as tall and handsome, there was no hint of joking or sarcastic smile on his face, but a complete indifference.

Sephiroth was followed by three people. One is wearing a 1st warrior uniform, with hedgehog-like black hair pulled back, a handsome face with a sunny smile and conspicuous scars; one is wearing a blue helmet unique to Shinra soldiers, with a well-proportioned figure and holding a gun; and finally One is a face that Jesse is very familiar with, Claude.

At this time, Claude's face still looked a little childish. He was wearing the blue uniform of a low-level Shinra soldier, with a blue helmet tucked under his arm, and was talking to the black-haired special forces soldier.

Is that the 1st warrior that Heather said was friends with Cloud, Zack Fair?

The people got closer and closer, and Jesse also heard their conversation.

The familiar destroying sword was now on Zack's back. The black-haired 1st warrior smiled heartlessly: "No problem, Claude, this is your hometown of Nibelheim, right? Do you want to give it to me?" Why don't you take a vacation or something and go home and take a look?"

Claude shook his head and said hesitantly: "Forget it, it's not too late to go home when you have some free time..."

"I can give you a holiday."

Sephiroth, who was walking at the front, suddenly turned around and said, although his face was still cold, his tone was very gentle:

"It's rare to return to your hometown, so let's go back and see it. So, what does it feel like to return to your hometown?"

"Huh?" Cloud and Zack looked at Sephiroth in confusion.

"I don't have a hometown, so I can't experience this feeling."

Sephiroth smiled: "Feel the feeling of returning home, and then talk to me after the mission is over?"

Wow! Jesse covered his mouth. Is Sephiroth such a gentle and warm man? What happened to the disgusted Sephiroth he saw later?

On the other side, Cloud was about to say something when he heard Sephiroth's words, but suddenly his face froze, and then he hurriedly put the helmet on his head to cover his face.

Everyone and Jesse looked to the other side of the road and saw Tifa, wearing a cowboy hat and cowgirl costume, running over and waving: "Hello everyone, I am Tifa Lockhart, replacing my father. The guide…………”

The subsequent words seemed to be muted, and Jesse could not hear the subsequent conversation between Tifa, Sephiroth, and others.

Just when she wanted to take a few steps forward to hear more clearly, Heather's voice came from behind:

"Don't go any further, Claude doesn't want you to hear."

"Oh!?" Jesse was startled. When he turned around, he found Heather standing behind him with his hands in his pockets: "Hai Hai Heather! When did you get behind me!?"

"Just when you were crazy about Claude." Heather said impatiently: "It seems that only the two of us have reunited. Have everyone else separated?"

Jesse quickly waved his hand: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, you said you were separated...where are you here?"

"Where else could it be, of course it would be Claude's inner world."

Heather looked like an idiot:

"I used my mind energy to force the Jenova cells in Claude's body to activate and activate Claude's brain nerves. Then the power of the life stream connected our thoughts with Claude's. It seems that [she] The method given is for us to help sort out Claude's personality."

"She?" Jesse narrowed his eyes suspiciously. Heather wouldn't have a woman outside behind Tifa's back, would she?

Heather looked around: "In short, here are Claude's memory fragments, and they are also the most authentic memories. Look, he did not return to his hometown after becoming famous as a 1st warrior as he said, but he did not dare to show up and reunite with his old friends. A low-level soldier of Shinra. The experiences he so-called are all Zack Phil’s past.”

"Claude...admires this Zack?"

"Obviously so. Claude even regards himself as the proof and coordinate of Zack's existence. As for what happened here, let's look at it later."

Heather reached out and fiddled with the air, and everything around her began to move forward rapidly.

Jesse and Heather were like spectators isolated outside of time, with the sun rising and setting above their heads, and the day and night sky constantly alternating.

Soon, the scene before him turned into a burning village with dead bodies everywhere.

Jesse screamed and wanted to run out to save people, but Heather grabbed him: "Idiot, this is Claude's memory, you can't change anything."

Heather pointed to the mountain behind the village: "Let's go, that's the Nibelheim Magic Reactor, and it's also the place where Cloud and Sephiroth fought."

PS: Looking at the previous chapter, someone asked who the man in his prime who received forced enlightenment was. In fact, a hint was given. "A strong man with extraordinary skills comparable to ancient dinosaurs" is actually Akahata Drake from the One Piece world who possesses the ancient Allosaurus Devil Fruit. After his identity as a traitor was exposed, he was captured by Heather for a mind-opening experiment. Because he could not control the closing of his spermary pores, he lost all his energy and turned into a withered corpse.
