Chapter 410: Soul-stealing (1)
"I know you probably haven't heard of this concept. In fact, it's just a sorcery technique found in ancient books. Most people will never see it in their lifetime."
Si Yuan was very calm about Xia Tian's reaction, as if he knew it was to be expected. "The so-called soul-stealing technique is to use a medium to separate the orc's soul from the body and then place it in a container."
"You mean... my soul was taken away?" Xia Tian twitched the corners of her mouth, and she processed it into a concept that was more in line with her cultural background and easier to understand.
Although... she still felt that this was unlikely.
"That's right." Si Yuan nodded. "When the soul is taken away, it will fall into a coma like now, unable to wake up. Ordinary means cannot find the cause. Only a witch doctor can discover it. I don't know who you learned medical skills from. You have been able to save so many people, so you should be able to see it."
"I... I haven't received any systematic training. I just know some ways to save people." Xia Tian made up an excuse.
Soul-stealing sounds very mysterious. If it is true, then the person who falls under this spell will be like a vegetative person, with only basic physiological activities but no brain nerve reflexes.
Vegetative patients are a very difficult subject to overcome in modern medicine. We can only rely on luck to wake them up, and there is no substantial solution at all.
Xia Tian knew that this was not an area she was familiar with, whether from the perspective of medicine or witchcraft.
Si Yuan stopped dwelling on this and said, "Well, that's no wonder. A witch doctor must learn both witchcraft and medicine. You probably only learned medicine and not witchcraft. But since you're a female, you don't have much chance to come into contact with witchcraft."
Although this female knew some unconventional but effective treatment methods, due to her identity, she probably had no access to anything related to witchcraft.
"Then what do you do with this soul-stealing technique you mentioned, which takes away people's souls?" Xia Tian asked.
Everyone has his or her own purpose in doing things, and any tool has its own function. So no matter what this "soul-stealing technique" is, the important thing is why Si Ye encountered this, so that he or she can know how to solve it.
"There are many ways to use soul-stealing magic, and different methods can produce different results." Si Yuan covered his mouth and coughed twice, then continued, "Looking at Xiaoye's situation, my guess is that... someone wants to do something with his soul, or simply wants to make him fall into a coma and get something."
Xia Tian didn't respond and fell into silence.
Who exactly wanted to do this to Si Ye? There are many possibilities, but no one can be sure.
What she didn't expect was that in a society with such primitive productivity, such a thing could exist. It was simply incredible.
So the question is, "How can we break this kind of soul-stealing technique?"
No matter what the reason was for Si Ye to fall into a coma, we still have to wake him up first.
"You mean the method to crack it?" Si Yuan lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "If I had a way, I wouldn't tell you so much..."
The implication was that if he knew how to break the spell, he wouldn't be standing here talking to her so much.
Xia Tian: “…”
"Is there really no other way?" she asked helplessly.
