Chapter 6. Twine
Syd wasn't sure where he was.
He was lying on a blanket in the open and wounded
soldiers were being left on the ground beside him.
As he rubbed his eyes he noticed some straw colored twine
around one of his wrists. Looking closer he saw it was a
necklace that had been twisted and wrapped around
his hand. It had a small pendant with a "V" on it.
He had no idea where it had come from or who it
belonged to.
"Welcome back to the land of the living."
He recognised the voice.
"Don't sit up Syd."
It was Harry Patch - one of the ambulance transport officers
who sometimes came forward to retrieve the wounded from
the regimental aid posts.
"How'd I get here Patch?"
"You don't remember?"
Syd tried, but couldn't.
"Do you know where you are?" Harry asked.
The question bothered him, he often asked wounded
soldiers the same thing to judge their level of
consciousness. Syd looked around.
"Outside the casualty clearing center by the looks of it."
Harry nodded.
"You've got a head wound Syd. The Doctor will come and
have a look at you after he's finished with the worst of the
other lads. That bullet parted your hair quite nicely when
it bounced off that thick Yorkshire skull of yours."
A wave of tiredness washed over Syd, he closed his eyes.
Harry put his hand on Syds' shoulder.
"I'm sorry to say old son that it's not enough to get you a
ticket home - rest up while you can."

When Syd sat up again, Harry was gone.
He was still on a blanket outside of the casualty
clearing center and wounded soldiers were still being
laid out beside him. Sheets now covered the faces of

some of the men closest to him.
Syd started to remember what had happened.
He hadn't felt any pain when he was shot in the head.
He'd stumbled forward as if he'd been unexpectedly
pushed.
He remembered being shot in the back.
How was that possible?
The bullet had exited out of his chest and he'd felt his
breath pulled out of his body.
In a panic Syd felt his chest. His uniform was heavy
with crusted blood, but there was no wound - there was no
soreness, there was nothing.
He'd seen this sort of thing before.
The morphine that was given as pain relief sometimes
played tricks on a shocked soldiers' mind.
Syd lay back.
He put his hands over his eyes and almost at once
re-lived being shot in the side of the face.
The sensation of being splashed with boiling hot water.
Blind in one eye, he'd put a hand over the wound and
his fingers had touched the exposed bone of his cheek
and eye socket.
Why did it seem so real, if it didn't actually happen?
Syd tried to gather his thoughts.
There had been someone else there with him...
they'd been talking.
He knew who it was - Finn.

Reincarnation (Reverend Insanity Fan-Fic)
MC who has read RI completely using translated and MTL chapters, and continuously reads RI for about a 100th time suddenly reincarnates into the world of RI in the character of Mo Bei. He tries to figure out the path to survival using his profound understanding of the world of RI. He is a truly hardcore fan of RI and hence remembers even the minute details in each of the 6 books. He plans to use this advantage to secure his survival without affecting the flow of history in the novel. Follow Mo Bei in his journey to figure out the truths behind the Transmigration of Otherworldly Demons, and his eventual(?) return back to Earth. ✵ It is not recommended for those who haven't read upto translated chapters of RI. For MTL spoilers I would mention them with ### (3 hash) whenever they appear. You can chose to skip reading it. I will try to keep those spoilers at a minimum and mostly use info only upto the Fate war arc which is covered under translated chapters. ✵ I also publish on Webnovel.
