Chapter 744: My sister...my sister?
“…It’s hardly a resurrection.”
Aleister breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be nonchalant, saying casually, "After all, she's not completely dead... If her soul has already drifted into the River of Dreams, I won't be able to retrieve it anyway. In this regard, I have to thank the Earl."
In fact, Aleister himself was sweating a little.
Although her transcendence path has reached the fourth energy level, making her the backbone of the extraordinary forces in most countries and able to complete most rituals... this is the first time for her to attempt the resurrection ritual.
Although the soul must be intact and the body must still be alive... and this resurrection is not complete, the soul will still leave the body after a certain period of time, and it will need to be resurrected again or calmed down through other means.
But this is a genuine "resurrection ceremony" after all.
It's not like the Son of the Moon, who couldn't figure out whether the resurrected person was his own transformation, but rather letting the original soul return to his own body - a true resurrection.
This is one of the earliest "resurrection" abilities that extraordinary people can access.
As the girl sat up from her bed, she glanced at the Honey Badger, disguised as a middle-aged man, and Aleister, who had transformed back into Aiwass, and instinctively reached out to shield herself. She looked around in confusion, yet a look of fear still lingered in the depths of her eyes.
Everything that happened before was imprinted in her mind as clearly as a nightmare, and she was afraid that she would never forget it for the rest of her life.
Looking at the clear yet foolish eyes of the female college student, Aleister said leisurely, "You are lucky, miss. You met me - that's why you have the opportunity to return to your body and not... be like them."
Aleister said this, pointing to the big bed full of souls.
Christina subconsciously looked in the direction Aleister extended his hand, and then screamed in horror: "Ah ...
Because she had truly "died once," existing as a spirit for a few brief hours... she now had developed adaptability to the twilight path. It wasn't clear how strong it was, but at least she had acquired the gift of clairvoyance.
In her eyes now, the originally soft and luxurious bed now looked like a piece of chocolate covered with maggots - on the red bed, countless pure white, translucent spirits were "sticking" to it.
Most of the spirits had shrunk into a maggot-like "cocoon," their limbs withered, their heads fused to their bodies, and they resembled plump, white worms.
A few spirits still had slender figures, but their heads, limbs, and arms and legs had become thinner, resembling stringy rice cakes. Only two or three spirits had their already blurred features, and they were gazing at him with resentment.
The moment she saw them, the vague memories in Christina's mind suddenly became clear.
She finally remembered that when she was in a daze, she was lying in the same place with these souls, entangled with them!
A strong feeling of nausea made her want to vomit, and her stomach also moved. However, her body did not react at all, and she did not bend down at all. This made her cough. The violent coughing made her nausea subside, and it was replaced by a sense of horror: "Why... why, my... body..."
Her speech was a bit halting, and her once nimble tongue had become less obedient. After a long while, she suddenly recovered.
"Because you're already dead, girl."
Aleister sentenced her to death without hesitation: "It's not that 'your soul temporarily left your body', but that I called your soul back and stuffed it back into your body, delaying this death."
Christina glanced at Aleister, who had transformed back into Aiwass, and awe and gratitude flashed in her eyes.
"Dear Sir..."
She was silent for a while, lowered her head in frustration, and said intermittently: "I have no...way...to repay..."
She was smart enough to know that the other party had gone to great lengths to "resurrect" her, probably because he wanted to get something from her.
But she couldn't remember for a moment what value she had besides this body...
Aleister smiled and changed back to Bayard's posture in front of her surprised and delighted gaze.
"you……??"
"Shh, don't mind it."
Aleister put his hand in front of his lips and smiled mysteriously.
She walked up to Christina, covered her with a blanket, and hugged her gently: "I want to make a deal with you..."
“—I promise.”
Christina answered without hesitation.
Instead, Aleister was a little surprised: "You haven't even heard what I want to say!"
She glanced at the ice sculptures in the room, a hint of fear on her face. "Whatever... it is... I agree to it."
Even though it's from behind...
But she could also see that the ice sculpture was Earl Dawn, who was as powerful as a god in front of her!
Since she was killed by Earl Dawn, and these two people killed Earl Dawn and saved herself... it means that they are far stronger than Earl Dawn.
——I couldn't even resist Earl Dawn, so I had no ability to resist these two people!
Even without talking about gratitude or compensation, she had no room for bargaining.
Aleister finally showed some interest in her: "What's your name?"
"Christina... Weber."
The girl wrapped herself in a blanket and answered slowly with an awkward tongue, trying hard not to bite it.
Knowing the importance of turning back when you are lost...this is not too stupid.
Through the Mirror Demon, Aleister knew what the other party had originally intended to do. Fortunately, the evil and corruption had not yet come to fruition... Now, there was a chance for redemption.
This is exactly why the earthbound spirit called out to Aleister.
"Well, Mr. Weber, you can't fully control your current body on your own. Just like a resurrected corpse, its movements and speech are slow. Because a gap has already formed between your soul and your body, it's probably impossible for you to control it precisely. Perhaps after a while, your soul will leave your body on its own."
Aleister said slowly: "But I have a win-win business here.
"—I plan to implant a spirit within your body, so that the two of you will share one body. With her filling you, you will at least be able to use this body more conveniently. If your soul accidentally leaves your body, she can also pull it back for you.
"She's considered your senior, with a fifth energy level. If you encounter any danger, you can ask for her help.
"With her help... you will not only be able to regain your mobility, but also make further progress on the Twilight Path. In return, you will do something for me."
Specifically for Christina, this can probably be regarded as a kind of portable grandfather.
...Considering Alice's specific situation, perhaps she can also be considered a personal sister?
"I...promise."
Christina agreed without hesitation.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief—becoming a pawn of a powerful man was at least better than the worst possible outcome she had imagined.
So Aleister placed the vibrating and humming "Minion Card: Earthbound Spirit (Death God)" on her forehead. Christina felt its vibration and closed her eyes in fear.
But it's not that complicated—
——Release the card.
Aleister said in his heart.
The next moment, the tarot card began to spontaneously disintegrate and collapse, transforming into black salt and yellow smoke, which drifted out and were then directly absorbed into Christina's body. As a "resurrected corpse," she was the perfect vessel for this ghost.
After a long time, Christina slowly opened her eyes.
There was no fear in his eyes, but rather intimacy and gratitude.
"Owner……"
Alice used Christina's body awkwardly and said word by word: "Thank you..."
