On the Seven Towers

Chapter 675: Introducing Disease into the Body

Luo Ling sat next to a girl named Jessica, who was only fourteen years old. She started to get sick a day ago and is now in the final stage. The girl had long platinum hair, so the dark spots on her face were particularly scary.

She did not have 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 symptoms particularly rapid.

Jessica's father, mother and brother had all died of illness in the past few days. Because someone in her family had been sick all the time, she could not get the qualification to live in the observation area. Although her family equipped her with masks and gloves and gave her the greatest protection when possible, she still fell down as the last person in the family.

Luo Ling felt helpless at this time. Although she had 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 the mental strength of ordinary people was not strong enough to condense into a spirit servant.

But she still wanted to give it a try, "Jessica, I have a way now, maybe I can save you to another world, but if it fails, you may die. Are you willing to give it a try?"

"Can you eat enough in that world?" Jessica asked.

"Of course." Luo Ling gently stroked her face, "Eating and drinking in that world is just a kind of enjoyment, you will never 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 will know when you get to that world." Luo Ling comforted her.

"I believe you, you are the best person to me besides my parents, 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 house around you, but you will see a bridge in the darkness. Don't be afraid, just walk over bravely. This bridge is the way to the new world. I can't go to the other side of the bridge to help you. You can only 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 her body, if it is frightened or disturbed, it is likely to suffer irreparable damage, which is often said to be soul-smashing.

Luo Ling was anxiously waiting at one end of the Soul Bridge. She could vaguely see a tiny light on the opposite side hesitating and shaking.

It was like a candle in the dark night, and it seemed that 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 seemed to affect 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 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.

In the state of the soul, Jessica had no ability to respond to Luo Ling's shouting, and the outer edge of the light ball had begun to scatter small light spots. These light spots not only represent the power of Jessica's soul, but also her personality, memory and emotions.

If these light spots represent some ordinary and fragmentary things, then Jessica can still maintain her own consciousness, but if those important memories and emotions are lost, 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 and stubborn light spots, trying their best to move forward, finally flew over the bridge of souls and stepped into a bright world.

This world is very vast, and the place where the light spots go is a spring scene. Not only Luo Lin is waiting here, but there are more than a dozen men and women standing behind her. These people with different dresses and ages are Luo Lin's spirit servants. All of them, including Song Hongyang, have been 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 dark elf mid-level magician. Others include low-level warriors and mages, as well as warrior apprentices and magic apprentices. The quality of Xiao Chen's spirit servants is completely incomparable, but all of them are also practitioners. Before Jessica, no ordinary person had ever been transformed into a spirit servant.

Everyone was looking forward to Jessica's soul entering here. According to the rules of Luo Ling's meditation world, she would 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 damaged memories still fully present the appearance of a person? No one can guarantee it.

The ball of light flew in front of Luo Ling and fell into her arms. Then it stayed there, without any changes.

"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 in this light ball." Song Hongyang said.

Luo Ling nodded, with a sad look on her face: "She trusted me. Her emotions are still preserved in this light ball. 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 tried your best. You saved so many of us. I heard that in the past, the magicians 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 close 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 black spots on the back of her hand.
