Used by Lod Dorn, Created by LilDoomVil1.
(It is clear that you are communicating with the target. )

Lod, after his time in China, was able to understand how to commune with others, just as he was allowed to during his 4th contract by the cosmic powers-at-be. He can use his psychic powers to forcefully compress the information he is receiving, at an incredibly fast speed, which allows him to transform that knowledge into a form that is more easily digestible and understandable by Lod.
