===[Sky Screen]===
I hear the howl of a beast somewhere.
It cries ceaselessly. Is it wailing out of hunger? Or…
???: They're being itchy-twitchy. Did they get up?
???: Awake at last. I would've been a tad bit disappointed if you croaked on us.
At this moment, Dante was inside a carriage where red was the main theme; the environment outside the window confirmed they were still in the dark forest.
The perspective shifted, and a dark-skinned girl with long silver hair appeared.
Charon: Fresh morning. This is Charon the Bus Driver.

Tang Dynasty
"Driver? Does that mean a coachman? This little girl is the coachman driving that giant beast?" Cheng Yaojin said in shock from the side.
In his understanding, someone who could drive such a giant beast should at least be a man stronger than himself.
===[Sky Screen]===
Red-eyed Man: It's not morning, but I could guess it's refreshing. How do you feel, Dante?
That man appeared again; unlike when he faced that trio before, his red eyes were much softer this time.
Dante: "
Red-eyed Man: "Tick-tocking like a clock… Sigh, some language barrier this is."
Vergilius: "You may call me Vergilius… If you can understand what I'm saying, give me some kind of reaction, Dante."
At this point, the red-eyed man also revealed his name.

Three Kingdoms
"Vergi... lius? That name sounds bizarre." Zhang Fei couldn't help but complain upon hearing Vergilius's name.
"Third Brother, do not be rude." Liu Bei advised from the side.
"The strength of that person in the sky is immense; even if Second Brother and I were included, we would likely suffer the same fate as those three up there. In this world... I'm afraid only Lü Bu from back then could exchange a move or two with him."
===[Sky Screen]===
I gave him a quick nod since he didn't seem hostile.
Vergilius: "Good. At least your hearing is functional. Let's ride, Charon."
Charon: "Now departing. Vroom-vroom."
===[Line Break]===
Tang Dynasty
"How cute." Princess Zhangsun praised from the side, hearing Charon imitate the sound of the bus starting.
"It is quite cute, but..." Emperor Taizong of Tang pondered from the side.
"I didn't see her take out a whip or anything; she's just sitting there. Her hands are holding something like a disc, and then the bus moves on its own. What kind of master craftsman must have built it?"
===[Sky Screen]===
There was a heavy roar and vibrations, as though they echoed from the bottom of a deep mire.
It was then that I realized I was aboard a bus.
A bus… I can't be sure if I've ever ridden such a vehicle in the past.
Vergilius: "Do you remember who you were?"
I shook my head to say no. I had been reminded that my head was now a clinking mechanism.
===[Line Break]===
"Wait, you only just realized?" Cao Cao complained.
Your head was replaced with something that, far from being the same, is completely unrelated, yet you only realized it by the next morning.
Could it be that swapping the head also swapped out the IQ?
Cao Cao felt it was better not to let Hua Tuo perform craniotomy on him for now.
===[Sky Screen]===
Vergilius: "I suppose you want your memory back. Am I right?"
I nodded. I sure feel like an idiot.
Vergilius: "Smooth as it gets. What's to stop the rest of you from adopting this gesture-based communication? Any words of yours, Ms. Faust?"
Faust: "Faust will kindly turn down the offer. I doubt we'll have that much freedom over our own bodies most of the time."
===[Line Break]===
Every time I see that intact body, I can't help but marvel. "Who would have thought that before this, her heart had been pierced and she had died?" Hua Tuo exclaimed, looking at Faust in the sky.
If I had this ability, I could boldly and confidently perform surgeries on people; if they died, I'd just resurrect them until I learned how to treat them.
(Future Test Subject: Why me?)
