When Mollett opened his eyes again, he found that he was not dead yet. The surroundings were very bright. It took him a long time to let his eyes adapt to the external light. In front of him was a blue sky with a few clouds floating in the sky.
Before, he had never noticed that the sky had so many layers, from the sky blue at the edge, to the royal blue in the middle, and deep blue at the highest point. If it weren't for those clouds, looking up at the sky would make people feel like looking down at a deep pool of water.
He also saw the trees around him. The crowns of those trees were all golden yellow. A gust of wind blew, and a few leaves fell down, as if it was autumn.
He reached out and felt his body, and found that it was intact, without any wounds. His condition could be described as perfect, as if the serious illness or assassination he had contracted before were all real nightmares. He was not wearing armor for battle, but ordinary cloth. What was going on
Mollett sat up and found himself lying in a pile of fallen leaves, surrounded by a sparse autumn forest. He didn't know where he was, but he couldn't help laughing. He sat on the ground and laughed louder and louder until he was panting.
Only those who have died know that when consciousness is about to leave, nothing else matters, as long as you are alive. If Mollett knew the idiom "surviving a catastrophe", he would definitely think it is the most appropriate to describe his current state.
"Are you crazy laughing like that?" Mollett heard a voice behind him.
He looked back and saw the young officer who had been pierced by him but disappeared without a trace, walking towards him from a hillside behind him. He was not wearing a military uniform, but a strange shirt commonly seen in Chinese people. He had no weapons in his hands, but his hands were in his trouser pockets, looking at him with a bit of sarcasm.
"Luo Ling is really a powerful guy. When did I fall into the illusion? Where did you send me with space magic?" Mollett stood up and patted his body with both hands. "It is true that my black water disease was cured, but how did you seal my fighting spirit
I thought that since you have the method to cure blackwater disease, you would be more generous and talk about the problem openly. Why don't you play tricks like this? What on earth do you want to do?"
"It seems that you still don't realize your situation." The young officer said. He walked up to Mollett and looked at him without showing any weakness. "You are already dead, or at least your body is completely destroyed. After you died, Luo Ling brought your soul here, and that's why you are what you are now."
"Here? Where is this?" asked Mollett.
The young officer said, "This is Luo Ling's meditation world, a spiritual world created by her will. Your soul, in this world, forms a body. Although it looks like flesh and blood, it is just the embodiment of the soul."
"Are you kidding? Only gods have the ability to resurrect the souls of the dead in the kingdom of God! Are you telling me that Luo Ling is a god?" Mollett was a little annoyed, and poked his chest with his hand. "If you have anything to say, we can just say it directly. Playing such a trick is an insult to a nobleman."
The young officer slapped his hand away and sneered, "Come and see, you will give up soon."
As he said this, he walked out of the woods first.
Mollett had no fighting spirit, and his strength was comparable to that of the other party. He knew that he could not subdue the other party and force him to tell the truth. Talking more here would not lead to any results, so he followed the officer out of the forest.
The young officer led him to the edge of a stream, glanced back at him and said, "Come and see for yourself."
Mollett didn't know what the other party meant. He walked to the stream hesitantly, looked down, and was shocked to see a face reflected in the water.
The image in the stream was of course himself, but he looked at least twenty years younger than he originally was. This was his appearance when he was in his twenties, and he hadn't seen this appearance for a long, long time. At this time, he also felt some of his physical sensations. Although fighting spirit could allow people to maintain strong physical strength at an older age, a master like him could still feel the subtle differences brought about by aging. He raised his arm and clenched his fist.
Sure enough, there is a long-lost vitality hidden in this body.
He looked up at the officer standing aside and muttered, "This... This can't be happening in reality."
"Finally realized it? Everything I just told you is true." The young officer said, "Your current body is built according to the best physical condition of your lifetime. There is no aging here, and you will continue to exist like this. Because this is the spiritual world of Mage Luo Ling. As long as she exists, you will exist."
Mollett looked at his hands, which had become younger, for a long time before he asked, "But what am I now? A wandering soul without a body? Or a ghost that is not completely dead? Or... a thought in someone else's mind?"
The young officer said, "Spirit Servant."
"What? Spirit of what?" It was obvious that Mollett didn't understand what a spirit servant was.
"A servant who lives in someone else's soul, if you need an explanation." The officer said, "usually living in the wizard's meditation world, can be projected into reality by the wizard when necessary. He has a body made of magic power and can fight for the wizard."
"Wait, could it be that you... all of you are just Luo Ling's spirit servants?" Mollett suddenly understood that the young man in front of him was also a spirit servant. No wonder he could disappear without a trace after being attacked. "Luo Ling said that she helped you get rid of the black water disease. Could this be the method she used
Your bodies have all died in the real world? The bodies you used to fight us were made temporarily, so you are not afraid of being infected by the blackwater disease, nor are you afraid of death. And she treats me and my men in this way? "
The young officer nodded and said, "It seems that you finally understand a little bit."
"What about my subordinates? Why are there only two of us here?" asked Mollett.
"You are just the first person whose soul Luo Ling will take. Soon you will see souls being pulled in here one after another."
Mollett said: "I just want to know one question now, why is all this happening?" (To be continued)
