Luo Ling sat next to a girl named Jessica, who was only fourteen years old. She had started to suffer from the disease a day ago and was now in the final stage. The girl had long white-blonde hair, so the dark spots on her face were particularly scary.
She did not possess any extraordinary powers, so it was impossible for her to suppress the invasion of bacteria. The metabolism of teenagers was faster than that of adults, which made her illness come on particularly quickly.
Jessica's father, mother and brother had all died in the previous few days. Because someone in her family had been sick, she was never qualified to live in the observation area. Although her family equipped her with masks and gloves and gave her the greatest protection possible, she still fell down as the last person in the family.
Luo Ling felt helpless at this moment. Although she had only been with the girl for a short day, it was enough for her to understand what a well-behaved child she was. She wanted to help her, but she was powerless because ordinary people's mental strength was not strong enough to condense into a spirit servant.
But she still wanted to give it a try. "Jessica, I think there is a way that may be able to save you and go to another world, but if it fails, you may die. Are you willing to give it a try?"
"Can people have enough food to eat in that world?" Jessica asked.
"Of course." Luo Ling gently stroked her face. "In that world, eating and drinking is just a kind of enjoyment. You will never have to worry about eating and drinking again."
“But eating is just to fill your stomach…, what does enjoyment mean?” Jessica may have never heard of the word enjoyment.
"You'll know when you get to that world." Luo Ling comforted her.
"I believe you. You are the best person to me besides my parents, even better than my brother." Jessica said.
"Thank you." Luo Ling smiled.
"Then let's get started." Luo Ling began to cast the Soul Bridge magic. "After a while, you will find that you can't see me or the room around you, but you will see a bridge in the darkness. Don't be afraid, just walk over bravely. This bridge is the road to the new world. I can't go to the other side of the bridge to help you. You have to walk across the bridge by yourself, but I will wait for you at the other end of the bridge."
"Okay. I, I will be brave." Jessica said.
The faint light released from Luo Ling's hand enveloped the girl's head. She was more careful than any other time she cast magic. She used her mental power to protect the girl's fragile soul, because after the soul leaves the body, if it is frightened or disturbed, it is very likely to be irreparably damaged, which is often called the scattering of the soul.
Luo Ling was waiting anxiously at one end of the Soul Bridge. She could vaguely see a tiny ball of light on the other side, hesitating and shaking.
It was like a candle in the dark night, as if a breeze could extinguish it, and it slowly floated over here. It was very difficult for her to move in the air, but with Luo Ling's encouragement, she moved forward firmly.
But when the ball of light floated onto the Soul Bridge, it suddenly began to tremble. It was as if something in the endless darkness around it affected it. Luo Ling knew very well that this meant that Jessica's soul had left her body and began to be affected by the magic power floating in the air. This influence would not cause much harm even to a low-level warrior, but at this time it was like a knife cutting Jessica.
"Hold on! You must hold on! Remember who you are and where you are going!" Luo Ling shouted in her soul.
Jessica was in a state of soul and had no ability to respond to Luo Ling's call. Small light spots began to drift outward from the outer edge of the light ball. These light spots not only represented the power of Jessica's soul, but also her personality, memory and emotions.
If these light spots represent something ordinary and fragmentary, then Jessica can still maintain her own consciousness, but if what is lost are those important memories and emotions, this soul can hardly be called Jessica anymore. Luo Ling and Jessica are making a gamble, and the stakes are the new life and Jessica herself.
The weak but stubborn spot of light tried its best to move forward, and finally flew across the bridge of souls and stepped into a world of light.
This world is very vast, and the place where the light spot reaches is a spring scene. Not only is Luo Ling waiting here, but there are more than a dozen men and women standing behind her. These people with different dresses and ages are Luo Ling's spirit servants. All of them, including Song Hongyang, were absorbed into the meditation world by Luo Ling in the past few days. The strongest among them is Song Hongyang, a mid-level warrior, and Carol, a mid-level dark elf magician. The others are low-level warriors and mages, as well as warrior apprentices and magic apprentices. The quality is completely different from Xiao Chen's spirit servants, but all of them are also practitioners. Before Jessica, no ordinary person had ever been transformed into a spirit servant.
Everyone is eagerly waiting for Jessica's soul to enter here. According to the rules of Luo Ling's meditation world, she will transform into her own appearance here according to the memory of her soul about her body. And this is the biggest difficulty for ordinary people to become spirit servants. Can the damaged memory still fully present the appearance of a person? No one can guarantee it.
The ball of light flew in front of Rowling and fell into her arms. Then it stayed there without any change.
"Jessica, Jessica, can you hear me? Can you understand what I'm saying? Answer me if you can!" Luo Ling looked at the light ball and shouted at it. No matter how many times she shouted, the light ball just instinctively surrounded her.
"Teacher Luo, it seems that she didn't make it. There are not many real memories of Jessica left in this ball of light." Song Hongyang said.
Luo Ling nodded, her face full of sadness: "She trusted me. Her emotions are still preserved in this ball of light. I can feel her trust and attachment, but I still failed her."
"Teacher Luo, you can't say that. Whether it's fate or luck, you have done your best. You saved so many of us. I heard that in the past, the mages of the Dream Tower would only take the most powerful and talented people as spirit servants, but you spent so many precious meditation worlds for us."
Luo Ling said: "It's different. When you get closer to the master's realm, you will understand that it is a choice of path, and protecting you is the path I choose."
In the ward, Luo Ling, with tears in her eyes, reached out and closed Jessica's eyes. When she stood up, she suddenly felt dizzy and fell on Jessica's bed. She tried to prop herself up and found some black spots on the back of her hand. (To be continued)
