"I'm here to rescue you!"
"My people..."
"I can only save you; I can't help your people."
"My people!"
Seeing Boyle on the verge of death, calling out for his people before he died, Deirdre covered her lips and closed her eyes in anguish.
The scene progresses to Boyle's death, and then the entire image disappears.
Deirdre remained silent for a while, then suddenly pleaded with Todd, "Please let me see it again."
Todd nodded slightly and waved, replaying the memory.
After watching the video again, Deirdre shook her head sadly and said, "Why did he only mention his people? Why didn't he mention me at all?! Did he not think of me at all when he was dying?! I don't believe it, I don't believe any of this!"
Rachel whispered in her ear, "If you don't believe what you're seeing, why don't you call Boyle here yourself and ask him?"
Deirdre turned to look at Rachel, her voice filled with horror, "You want me to use that cursed power again? No, that won't do! I've already sworn an oath before my father and the ancient gods that I will never use it again!"
“But the deceased we’re talking about now is none other than Boyle, your fiancé!” Rachel maintained her smile as she coaxed Deirdre, “If you want to know if Boyle cared about you before he died, this is the only way, isn’t it?”
After a fierce internal struggle, Deirdre finally decided to use her "medium" ability to summon Boyle's soul here and get to the bottom of things.
Watching Deirdre close her eyes and begin using her powers, Todd approached Rachel and asked, "Can psychic abilities really summon souls?"
Rachel shrugged. "I don't know, I've just heard about it. But one thing is certain: after a medium completes a séance, only they can see and communicate with the spirit; others cannot communicate with the spirit."
Todd was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this: "The summoned souls can only be seen or communicated with by the mediums themselves. Doesn't that mean they're completely useless to us?"
Rachel tapped Zero Todd's forehead with her finger, a look of disdain on her face: "That only happens when a medium summons a spirit in the real world. But think about it, what would happen if you combined the abilities of 'Soul Link' and 'Medium'?"
Todd suddenly realized: "Then the souls summoned by the medium will directly materialize in the soul world through the 'soul link' channel, allowing all people in the soul world to directly communicate and interact with the deceased."
“That’s right!” Rachel exclaimed excitedly. “That’s why Deirdre’s ability is incredibly valuable to us!”
Todd nodded slightly: "In this way, her special ability, combined with 'Soul Link,' can indeed play a huge role."
After saying this, Todd, who had a background in scientific research in his previous life, muttered to himself as a skeptic: "The premise is that souls really exist in this world."
After a few minutes of waiting, Deirdre's pupils turned completely black and gradually filled her entire eyeball.
A slight earthquake suddenly occurred in the soul world, and the entire temple began to shake slowly, with sand and dust falling from the top.
Just as Todd and Rachel were still in shock and uncertainty, a wisp of pale blue smoke slowly wafted out of the air, gradually swirling and rising in the center of the temple, and finally condensing into a semi-transparent humanoid shape.
This humanoid figure has Boyle's facial features, and its movements and postures are exactly the same as the deceased's.
Just as Todd was still doubting that the translucent humanoid was not a soul at all, but merely Deirdre's imagination, the first sentence the other party uttered completely shook the materialist's worldview.
"Todd Fischer, thank you for the coin."
