Chapter 1512: The Difficulty of Naming, A Special Reincarnator
"Then what is your name?" the young man asked curiously.
"You can call me Xia Duo!"
"Xia Duo? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before!"
The young man tilted his head, seemingly struggling to search his memory, but in the end, he could not recall where he had heard it; Xia Duo could not help but feel a little disappointed at the sight.
He had actually thought that this young man might still remember his past life after reincarnation! If so, he might have been able to confirm the other party's identity in the Main Plane, thereby further proving the existence of reincarnation.
"Forget it if you can't remember. Do you want me to give you all names?"
"Sure!"
Perhaps because Xia Duo's name reminded them of something, the two young men changed their previous take-it-for-granted attitude about "not having a name" and happily accepted Xia Duo's suggestion.
Xia Duo thought for a moment and said to the young man who had spoken to him first, "How about Yalun?"
"Yalun?"
The young man repeated the name to himself several times, and then his eyes grew brighter, "Then I shall be called Yalun."
"What about me? What about me!"
"You can be called Mengte!"
"Mengte? Mengte is my name!"
The young man on the lounge chair jumped up all of a sudden and started shouting at the entrance of the village; the commotion here soon attracted the attention of other villagers.
The first to come over to check the situation were two of the other four brothers, and there was also another young man who had been resting in the village (everyone here was young; there were no old people).
Under the introduction of Mengte, who was thrilled to have just received a name, the other three quickly understood the situation and asked Xia Duo to give them names as well.
This made Xia Duo feel somewhat troubled; it was not that he was unwilling to name these people, but the act of naming itself made him feel a bit awkward.
Because he always wanted to choose names that were easy to say and had positive meanings, which was not easy.
Although he felt a bit troubled, Xia Duo still racked his brains and came up with three names—"Molisi, Gaodimu, Richi!"
The three young men accepted these three names gladly, but then, to Xia Duo's "horrified" eyes, they began to call over their other brothers and companions.
Fortunately, there were only a dozen or so people, so Xia Duo did not run away on the spot, but he still suggested that Yalun and the others could name themselves in the future.
However, in the process of Xia Duo naming these villagers, a small accident occurred—
A young man who had only recently been discovered and accepted into the village by Yalun and the others actually refused Xia Duo's naming, saying: "I already have a name!"
"You have a name?"
Xia Duo was surprised at first, then delighted, and hurriedly asked: "Then what is your name?"
"My name is, my name is—"
The young man started off quite fluently, but the name that was already on the tip of his tongue just would not come out, which made Xia Duo feel a bit anxious; the rest of the villagers were also quite dissatisfied, and many who had not yet had their turn even started to urge him in low voices.
The more others urged him, the more the young man stuttered. He said "I am, I am" seven or eight times without managing to say his name, just as Xia Duo was about to tell him to go aside and think about it while he named the others first.
The young man suddenly looked energized, slapped his head, and shouted, "I remembered! My name is Sikabeilumu! My name is Sikabeilumu!"
Immediately after, he looked at Xia Duo excitedly, plopped down on his knees, hugged Xia Duo's legs, and cried out: "Lord, I am Sikabeilumu."
This sudden outburst from the young man named Sikabeilumu left Xia Duo a bit dazed, but then he thought that the Territory did seem to have a resident named "Sikabeilumu."
But he remembered the Territory's death list very clearly, and Sikabeilumu was not on it. Could it be such a coincidence that Sikabeilumu had suddenly died in these past few days?
And then happened to reincarnate into this village? And met him while he was here trying out his new abilities?
So Xia Duo continued to ask: "What do you remember about me?"
"I remember the Lord saying—abide by the law, technology is the primary productive force, forge ahead with determination, study diligently, and work together to create a beautiful New Homeland!"
"Anything else?"
Sikabeilumu thought for a moment and blurted out: "Strictly investigate autumn and winter safety hazards to ensure the residents pass the winter safely!"
"..."
Xia Duo was speechless; was that really all the memory he had?
"Do you remember what you did before? Did you have any skills?"
"A skill in hand, a lifetime of craft; wheat planting, breeding first; building construction, standards first."
Just when Xia Duo thought this guy could only recite quotes, Sikabeilumu suddenly said: "Lord, I can build roads, fell trees, plant crops, and build wooden houses!"
It turned out he was a talent after all!
It was just that, apart from the name, Xia Duo really could not recall more information about the Sikabeilumu in the Territory, but judging from this young man's self-introduction, if he really did come from the Territory.
Then he should have at least served as a leader of a Working Group, thereby leaving more traces in the Territory Document.
Or was it that the Territory was now so well-off that even such a person could only be an ordinary member?
Or perhaps there was some exaggeration in what this Sikabeilumu said?
For a moment, Xia Duo had too many questions he could not figure out, but fortunately, he could come to this place at any time in the future; regardless of whether the person in front of him was the reincarnation of the Sikabeilumu from the Territory, once they were here, they were his own people.
Thinking this way, Xia Duo asked a few more questions and confirmed that the other party possessed intelligence, and that their logic and critical thinking abilities were no weaker than a normal human in the Main Plane, only that there were defects in their memory.
And even if this person were truly the reincarnation of the Sikabeilumu from the Territory, since the memories had not fully extended over, the Personality could naturally not be exactly the same; strictly speaking, they could not be considered the same person.
Of course, this might also involve changes in cognitive patterns, and if so, they were even less the same person.
After Sikabeilumu, no more villagers with their own names appeared, and taking so many names at once had almost exhausted Xia Duo's wits.
After everything was finished, Xia Duo said goodbye to this group of young people who were naturally compatible with him; he had not forgotten why he had come here in the first place.
After leaving the village, Xia Duo's thoughts drifted, and he walked aimlessly through the Boundless Wilderness until the village behind him disappeared; only then did he stop, found a crooked-neck tree covered with withered yellow leaves, sat down against the trunk, and carefully checked his own Perception.
Compared to the last time, Xia Duo's body this time was more real; even when entering the Personal Space, there was not the slightest sign of disintegration, as if this body were the real one!
But Xia Duo was certain that this body was not his real one, because when he delved deep into his own Perception, he could clearly sense his real body lying on the bed in his bedroom at the Arcane Union of the Main Plane!
