The essence of the soul that has lost its body is fragile. Just as the soul that goes to the outer plane will gradually be affected by the properties of the corresponding plane, it will become an existence called a petitioner. Subsequently, the petitioner will be further integrated and transformed into this
Creatures unique to the plane - such as the Archon clan in Heavenly Mountain, the Elas clan in Elysium, the devils in hell, or the demons in the abyss.
In fact, these knights who have died once can still maintain independent individuals and partial consciousness, which is already better than most ordinary people.
Yuffie didn't know whether these souls could be integrated into the spiritual network and what the final product would be. What was certain was that that was not what she wanted to see.
She accelerated her pace, occasionally stopping to talk to passing souls and asking about the direction. A few of them gave her relatively clear instructions, and most of them were the same as the first soul she met, just unconsciously.
Make gibberish.
She was neither hungry nor sleepy, nor could she see the sun rise or set. She didn't know how long she had been moving forward. She only remembered that she had asked dozens of souls. According to the time she perceived, the intervals between meeting souls seemed to be gradually getting shorter.
——Perhaps this proves that the direction is right, she encouraged herself so.
A pink shadow appeared in the front left. The girl approached it as always, and could vaguely see that it was the soul of a woman.
"Hello, can you hear me?" She asked the question again, hoping to get a clearer answer.
The soul turned around and seemed to be looking at her, "Yes, hello!... My name is Cathy, who are you, and how long have you been here?"
It was the first time Yuffie got such a clear response. It was really rare, she thought to herself, and quickly answered the other party's question, "I am Yuffie Steinmetz, I just came here not long ago. The purpose of my coming here is to find
Get out of the source of this space and take you away."
"That's great!" The joy of the opposite soul emerged from her body almost immediately, and even the image she perceived became a bit brighter, "It's so boring here, there's not even anyone to chat with, there's just a bunch of people who are delirious.
Guy...I'm really worried that one day I will become like that, that would be really scary!...I wonder if Harlan is here, and so is Sister Alea...Also, has the Grand Leader succeeded?
Escaped from the fortress, how are you doing now..."
"Sean, he is fine." She quickly interrupted the other person to prevent the soul named Cathy from being immersed in memories - for a pure soul, this is quite dangerous and can easily lead to her gradually getting lost, "He has been
I am investigating the truth, and it is precisely because of his efforts that I can meet you here. So, please help me, okay?"
"Is that so...I understand." The soul named Cathy nodded - at least Yuffie felt that way, "What do you need me to do?"
Yuffie was silent for a moment, gathering her thoughts, and then spoke slowly.
"Let go of your body and mind and become one with me temporarily." She said word by word, "I will try to check the memory deep in your soul to confirm everything you have experienced unconsciously. This may remind you of some unfamiliar things.
Such a pleasant memory, but it allows us to find out who and when made you what you are now."
She did not say that this move would be quite dangerous for both of them. During the soul fusion, severe mental fluctuations of either party may prevent the two from being completely separated. This means that in the best case scenario, they will also
You will gain some memories that do not belong to you and lose some memories at the same time.
However, she still believed in her own willpower. Moreover, if the expected results could be achieved, the risk would be worth it for both of them.
Once you make up your mind, do it with all your strength without hesitation - this is what she learned from a girl named **Lena.
"If this can save the rest of the Order, I'll be happy." The soul named Cathy replied without any doubts, "I'm ready, please get started."
"Try to keep your mood as calm as possible. No matter what scene you see, you must remember that it is in the past." Yuffie warned the other party, slowly approached the soul, and used the "meditation" and "meditation" skills she had learned.
The method of "sympathy" allows one's own spirit to gradually become in tune with the other person's.
She saw the same pink light glowing on her body, and then walked forward, completely submerging herself into the image of the other person's soul.
A flood of messy memories instantly flooded into her mind, causing a sharp sting. She closed her eyes - of course it was just in her imagination, trying to distinguish each memory and temporarily store it in a different location.
If she chooses to discard some seemingly redundant content, she can feel much more relaxed, but the other person may lose important memories. That is not her way of doing things, and...if Lin and Dean Collens knew about it, they would definitely blame them.
She doesn't work hard enough.
The memories gradually became clearer, and those that were too long ago were sorted into corners, while the rest were things that happened recently. She found the location where the before and after the battle of Holly Castle was recorded, and started to look carefully from there.
This took them to that late night again, back to the tragic battlefield at Holly Castle. She became Cathy, watching everything from the other person's perspective, but unable to make any changes - almost the same as when she gained her mother's memory.
.
She saw Cathy waving her sword, guarding an entire corridor alone, repelling the mercenaries who dared to approach one by one. The sharp arrows, stone bullets and flying hammers shot from a distance were also hit by this young man.
Women easily avoided or knocked them down. She secretly made a comparison. Cathy's swordsmanship was not weaker than Lily's at that time, but she didn't have the brute force of the female mercenaries.
Two figures suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor, walking side by side as if leisurely. The man in black robes seemed to be trying to talk to the soldiers around him, while the other ignored them.
She felt Cathy tighten her body, trying to cheer up her tired body. Perhaps because they were indoors, Barak did not use the swordsmanship he used to kill Gustein, but quickly approached with a heavy sword, and
Cathy engages in close combat.
The two swords intersected seven times in total. Each time, Cathy was forced to take a step back, until finally, there was a solid wall behind her.
She tried her best to turn sideways, holding the sword with both hands, and slashed horizontally towards the man's neck from top to bottom. But Barak stabbed her wrist first, and the severe numbness and sting forced her to let go of her hand. At the same time,
The man in black robe came to Cathy's side, stretched out a white finger, and gently touched her chest.
Yuffie felt a coldness in her chest, and the fear of death gripped her. At the same time, a wave of turmoil arose in the other person's soul. She quickly stopped reading, soothed Cathy's emotions, and allowed her to calm down slowly.
"It's all over. You are still alive now, just like me. So, let me find a way to get you out of here, okay?"
"...I'm just a little excited. I'm sorry. Don't worry, I won't be like this again."
The feeling of talking to 'self' was a bit strange, but now was not the time to continue chatting. Yuffie collected her thoughts and looked up her subsequent memories again.
