She 'saw' Cathy's body falling weakly to the ground, and the two men stepped over her body and continued to move deeper. Most of the mercenaries passing by then just glanced at her, and a few spat at her.
Spit, I guess he suffered some losses at her hands and used this method to vent his resentment.
The soul can remember everything it has experienced, whether the person involved is awake, asleep or dead. It can observe everything around the body and can even penetrate simple barriers. When in the body on the main plane, these memories are buried in
The depths of the soul can only be perceived through deep meditation. And here, because the soul is the only thing, its memory becomes clear.
After a long time, Cathy's body was carried by the mercenaries to the open space outside Holly Castle, and was piled together with many more intact black crow knights. The man in black robe cast two spells on them, and Yuffie recognized,
Those were the Edda magic used to prevent the body from decaying naturally, and to prevent the soul from leaving the body - that is, traveling to the outer plane. On the morning of the third day after that, they were moved onto a flatbed carriage and covered with oilcloth.
, transported to a small city in the southwest, and temporarily abandoned in an empty warehouse.
"...We have been treated so roughly." Cathy's thoughts passed to her from her heart, "These people are really hateful - but it is also a good experience to be able to see what happens after you die.
.”
"This may not be the final destination." Yuffie responded, "Do you still remember where you woke up?"
Cathy sent her a negative thought. "When I woke up, I was in this weird place," she said.
Yuffie expressed her understanding to 'himself' and continued to look up the remaining memories. For a long time, no one visited the warehouse, and the surroundings were deserted. The only change was the ray of sunlight that poured in from the window and changed with time.
She flipped through those memories as quickly as possible while silently counting the days that passed.
Unknowingly, they experienced dozens of sunrises and sunsets together. Around the beginning of winter, the 'bodies' in the warehouse were loaded onto carriages and brought to a deserted suburb.
The familiar man in black robe slowly walked into Cathy's field of vision, raised his hands, raised his head to the sky, and loudly recited the prayer "Lord of Heaven".
The soft holy light fell from the sky and enveloped all the 'corpses'. The divine power of life repaired their bodies, causing the hearts that had stopped for a long time to start beating again. Finally, the souls that had been forcibly bound were able to return to their original bodies.
The conflict of perceptions between body and soul made Yuffie's consciousness a little blurry for a while. She felt a bottle being stuffed into her hand, followed closely by the command of the man in black robe, with a mind-grabbing power.
"Drink it, it will be good for you."
Cathy did so. For a moment, the perception of the body was greatly diluted, and the part of the soul became clear. Yuffie seized this opportunity and tried to observe everything around her. At this moment, she heard a slightly familiar voice
, a slightly hoarse voice.
"Their minds have not yet been fully integrated. After that, they need to take the same potion every three days. After five times, they will be powerful warriors who are loyal enough, flexible in action, and can advance and retreat as one body."
"Then I'll trouble you." The man in black robe replied softly.
She turned her 'eyes' in the direction of the sound and saw a skinny man standing next to the man in black robe with his head lowered. Even though he was dressed a little differently, she still recognized him at a glance - in front of Fael Aurora,
The middle-aged man who serves as the receptionist at the "Guild" in Winterfell, Kratos Samhain.
"Is this a coincidence or fate?" the girl murmured to herself.
"Hey? What did you say?"
"It's nothing." She shook her head in her mind, "There shouldn't be many memories left, let's read it together."
They continued to browse the memories from that time to the present. At first, Yuffie could barely feel Cathy's body and felt that she was heading northeast. With each drink of the potion, the connection between the soul and the body became stronger.
Even weaker. After drinking the liquid for the fifth time, the last connection with the body disappeared, leaving only this spiritual space and the two lonely people in it.
"Is this... the end?" Cathy asked softly.
"Maybe." She answered in her mind, "Although you can probably only feel it a little bit, the connection between you and your body... still exists."
Time flips forward, and the next time I sense the memory of the outside world is no longer known how long it will be.
It was an attack in the middle of the night. With vague perception, they saw 'Cathy' rushing into a manor, killing one enemy, severely injuring another, and then being hit by the holy flames falling from the sky. According to
Ordered to withdraw from the battlefield, and finally returned here.
It turned out that she was among the team that attacked Elena. Yuffie buried this thought in a corner of her heart and carefully reorganized the fused memories into two parts, taking her own part with her.
Slowly leave Cathy's soul.
"Are you going back?" As if sensing her thoughts, the soul named Cathy conveyed these thoughts to her.
"Yes, I have been here for a long time, and I have found the clues I need for the next step." She got a little closer, using this form to convey her concern, "I will try my best to take you... take everyone away.
here."
"I believe you!" Cathy responded without any hesitation, "Then I...just look forward to that day with peace of mind."
Yuffie turned around, feeling the mental imprint she left on her body, and returned in the direction she came from. There was a strong and weak attraction behind her, as if she didn't want to let her go like this. She turned a blind eye to it,
I just silently counted the number of souls I met in my heart.
The space here seemed to be constantly changing. On the way back, many of the souls she had met had disappeared, and there were some more that she had never seen before - most of them had also lost their clear thinking. She no longer spent any more time talking to them.
, speed up your 'pace' and move straight forward in the direction you identify.
The attraction behind her weakened, the souls became sparse, and then, a soft light came in front of her eyes - that was the light of reality, and she returned to her body.
"You finally woke up." The first thing she heard was Lin's voice, which was filled with concern and a sense of reassurance. "You slept for four whole days, but you came back safely."
Yuffie sat up and found herself lying on a soft bed, with her hair and clothes neatly and comfortably arranged. She turned her head and saw her friend's smiling face, once again confirming that she was in reality.
The two hugged each other for a moment, and she exhaled softly, fell back on the bed, and integrated the memories previously stored in her soul with her body.
Then she opened her eyes. The setting sun was casting a long and narrow shadow from the window lattice to Lin's side. She moved her eyes along with the shadow, and finally stopped at her friend's short golden hair with a faint luster.
"I think, although this may not be something to be happy about," she said to Lin, "you can go home again."
