Soul Fusion
"Eh, surprisingly, it didn't make as nauseated as I expected. I thought I would be disgusted enough to vomit," in the Corridor of Ti, Yin Hua looked at her brand-new body and sighed.
Yin Hua and Snake were both already dead, and both their souls were extrely incomplete. Without doing this, neither of them would have been able to walk out of the Corridor of Ti.
"Our soul natures are different. How did you manage to fit both of us into the sa body?"
Yin Hua had taken over Snake's body, while Snake's soul floated outside.
"I don't have that kind of skill. I simply asked a friend who likes to ddle with souls for help," the Divinity Servant replied.
"You two will share one body. This is the only way Snake can step out of the Corridor of Ti, and it's the only way you can return to this world. As you should know, there cannot be two 'selves' walking side by side in this world."
"Both of you can control this body. As for how you split the ti between you, that's up to you to decide."
"You must help reclaim the lost fragnts of ti. That is your task."
"Alright, alright,"
Yin Hua replied perfunctorily.
"Can I leave now?"
Yin Hua asked.
"Not yet. You still can't break through the Corridor of Ti alone. You need to wait for soone to co and take you back," the Divinity Servant responded.
"How much longer do I have to wait?"
"Not long."
☆☆☆
Shuang Yun ran alone through the Corridor of Ti.
She dared not linger; though she didn't know where this path led, she had no choice but to keep running.
This ti, it wasn't to change anything that she entered the Corridor of Ti; she was simply dragged in again against her will.
Since she touched that forbidden book of ti, she herself had beco extrely unstable, always being pulled into the Corridor of Ti every now and then.
Usually, only one or two minutes would pass before she was released again. But now, much ti had gone by, and she was still stuck here.
She had heard it, had felt it—soone was getting closer and closer to her step by step.
It was the ruler of this Corridor of Ti—the Goddess of Ti.
She must escape the Corridor of Ti before being found by her.
Otherwise, she might be trapped forever in this pale space.
She had to escape the Corridor of Ti as quickly as possible—she simply had to get out.
She didn't know where she was running to; all she could do was keep running.
The Divinity Servant followed behind, unhurried.
She maintained a strange distance—each ti she was about to catch up to Shuang Yun, she intentionally slowed her pace again.
Just like a shepherd herding sheep.
Where was she driving this little sheep?
Perhaps only the silent shepherd herself knew the answer.
"I still rember her na is Shuang Yun,"
Yin Hua said as she watched Shuang Yun running past.
"Yes, you even taught her swordsmanship,"
Snake replied.
"Why do you know my business so clearly?"
Yin Hua glanced suspiciously at Snake's soul beside her.
"Other than spying on your life, I have nothing else to do in the Corridor of Ti every day."
"That's illegal, you know."
"I don't care."
"Fine, let's change the subject. What does that person want to do with Shuang Yun?"
Yin Hua shifted the topic.
"Who knows?"
Snake didn't know the answer either.
Panting as she ran, Shuang Yun saw a large white door ahead. Glancing back at the Divinity Servant behind her, she pushed open the door and went in without hesitation.
The door closed automatically, and the Divinity Servant also halted her steps.
"Hah...hah..."
Shuang Yun panted and slowly slumped down against the door.
For so unknown reason, the Goddess of Ti did not chase her in.
At last, she could rest...
Co to think of it—was this room the end of the corridor?
Shuang Yun looked around to take in the room's layout.
It was a spacious room. In front of her stood a white stone sarcophagus.
There was nothing in the room but that white stone coffin, and, scattered nearby, all kinds of strange weapons.
"..."
Driven by curiosity, Shuang Yun walked toward the stone coffin.
After a few steps, Shuang Yun made a surprising discovery.
Among the many weapons placed there, there was one weapon she recognized.
It was a rusted blade.
This was Teacher Liushu's weapon?
Why...was it here?
Shuang Yun walked over, gripped Qili's handle, and pulled it out from the ground.
Qili's scabbard fell to the side.
This weapon was definitely Teacher Liushu's—it looked exactly the sa.
With such a unique appearance, it was unforgettable after just one glance.
All of a sudden, an extrely violent anti-magic force surged up her hand.
"!"
Shuang Yun hurriedly threw Qili away and took several steps back.
What...was that?
I...was nearly swallowed by it.
This weapon...was so strange.
And weapons like that—there were still many gathered around.
Four identical light blades, a golden flintlock, a sapphire-blue sniper rifle, crimson and icy-blue longswords, and so on.
Having learned her lesson, Shuang Yun dared not touch any of the surrounding weapons.
She edged cautiously closer to the stone coffin.
It was a sealed sarcophagus; from the outside, there was no way to see the person lying inside.
However, atop the stone coffin, there lay a card.
A card that looked quite ordinary.
As if under so kind of compulsion, Shuang Yun picked up the card almost involuntarily.
Nothing happened. It really did seem to be an ordinary card.
She examined the card closely. Its front was silver, with a number carved into the top-right corner: Nine.
But strangely, the backside of the card was gray, with the sa number, also a nine, in the top-right corner.
A silver nine, and a gray nine.
This shouldn't be a single card.
It was more as though two different cards had been glued together sohow.
How odd...
Shuang Yun looked again at the sarcophagus.
Should she open it?
This thought surfaced from deep within her heart.
Open it...should she?
This urge stirred and itched inside her heart.
And then, she reached toward the sarcophagus.
Suddenly, the scene before her changed.
"Shuang Yun?"
A familiar voice sounded in her ear.
"Xiya?"
Shuang Yun stared in surprise at her classmate.
"Why did you appear out of nowhere? That's really bad for my heart, you know!"
Mo Ying remained as lively as ever.
"Is this...the Academy?"
"Where else could it be?"
"Whew..."
Shuang Yun relaxed, collapsing in a heap without caring about her image.
She had finally escaped from the Corridor of Ti.
"Did she take sothing with her?"
Once the Divinity Servant sent Shuang Yun out, Yin Hua asked.
"That belonged to you. Your first task after going out is to reclaim that card," the Divinity Servant said.
"Then why didn't you just hand it to directly?"
"Only if you touch that card with your own hands will it have aning."
"You really are a master of riddles..."
