She 'saw' Cathy's body fall limply to the ground, and the two men stepped over her body and continued to move deeper. Most of the mercenaries who passed by after www.biquge.info only glanced at her, and a few of them spat at her, thinking that they had suffered some losses at her hands, and used this method to vent their grievances.

The soul can remember everything it has experienced, whether the person is awake, sleepy, or dead. It is able to see everything around its body, even through simple barriers. When in the body of the main plane, these memories are buried in the depths of the soul and can only be perceived through deep meditation. And here, since the soul is the only thing, its memory becomes clear.

After a long time, Cathy's body was carried by the mercenaries to the open space outside Holly Castle, where it was stacked with many of the more intact Raven Knights. The black-robed man cast two spells on them, which Yuffie recognized, the Eda Divine Spell used to prevent corpses from decomposing naturally, and the Eda Divine Technique to prevent souls from leaving their bodies, i.e., traveling to the outer planes. On the morning of the third day, they were loaded onto flatbed wagons, covered with tarpaulins, and transported to a small town in the southwest, where they were temporarily abandoned in an empty warehouse.

「…… We've been treated so roughly." Cathy's thought passed to her from her heart, "These people are abominable - but it's a nice experience to be able to see what happens after I die."

"This may not be the final destination." Yuffie responded, "Do you remember where you woke up?"

Cathy passed on a negative thought to her. "When I woke up, I was in this strange place." She said.

Yuffie understood 'herself' and continued to check the rest of her memories. For a long time, the warehouse was deserted and deserted, with the only change being a ray of sunlight that shone through the window. She flipped the memories back as quickly as she could, silently counting the days that had passed.

Before they knew it, they had experienced dozens of sunrises and sunsets together. Around the beginning of winter, the 'corpses' in the warehouse were loaded into carriages and taken to a deserted countryside.

The familiar black-robed man slowly walked into Cathy's field of vision, raised his hands, raised his head to the sky, and chanted the prayer of "Lord of Heaven" in a loud voice.

Gentle light descended from the sky, enveloping all the 'corpses' in it. The divine power of life repaired their bodies, causing their hearts to start beating again after a long period of silence, and finally, the souls that had been forcibly bound were able to return to their original bodies.

The conflict of perception from the body and soul made Yufie's perception a little blurry for a while, and she felt a bottle being stuffed into her hand, followed by the black-robed man's command, with a breathtaking power, "Drink it, it's good for you." ”

Cathy did so. In an instant, the perception belonging to the body is greatly diluted, and the part of the soul is clear. Yuffie seized the opportunity and tried to observe everything around him. Just then, she heard a slightly familiar, slightly hoarse voice.

"Their hearts are not yet fully united. After that, every three days, they were to be given the same medicine. After five times, they are loyal enough, nimble, and formidable warriors. ”

"I'll bother you." The black-robed man replied softly.

She turned her 'gaze' in the direction of the sound and saw a thin man with his head bowed standing beside the black-robed man. Despite the difference in dress, she still recognized him at a moment's notice - the middle-aged man who had served as the receptionist at the Guild in Winterfell before Fael Aurora, Kratos Samhain.

"Is this a coincidence, or is it fate?" The girl muttered to herself.

"Huh? What do you say?"

"Nothing." She shook her head in her heart, "There shouldn't be many memories left, let's read it together."

They went on to look through their memories from that time to the present day. At first, Yuffie could barely feel Cathy's body, feeling that she was heading northeast. With each drink of the potion, the connection between the soul and the body becomes weaker. When he drank the liquid for the fifth time, the last bit of connection with the body also turned into nothingness, leaving only this spiritual space and the two lonely people in it.

"That's ...... Finally, huh?" Cathy asked softly.

"Perhaps." She replied in her mind, "You can only feel it a little, but your connection to your body ...... It's still there."

Time flipped forward, and the next time I sensed the memories of the outside world, I don't know how long it was.

It was an attack in the middle of the night. Vaguely aware, they saw 'Cathy' rush into a manor, slay one enemy and inflict heavy damage on another, then was struck by the flames that rained down from the sky, and they were ordered to withdraw from the battlefield and return to the place.

It turns out that she is the one in the team that attacked Elena. Yuffie buried the idea in a corner of her mind, carefully rearranging the fused memories into two, and slowly leaving Cathy's soul with her own.

"Are you going back?" As if sensing her thoughts, a soul named Cathy conveyed such thoughts to her.

"Yes, I've been here for a long time, and I've found the clues I need next." She moved a little closer, using this form to convey her concern, "I'll do my best to take you...... Get out of here with everybody."

"I believe in you!" Cathy responded without hesitation, "Then I...... Let's look forward to that day with peace of mind."

Yuffie turned, sensing the mental imprint he had left in his body, and returned in the direction he had come. There was a strong and weak attraction behind her, and it seemed that she didn't want to let her go like this. She turned a blind eye to them, and only counted the number of souls she met in her mind.

The space here seems to be constantly changing, and on the way back, many of the souls that they had encountered were gone, and there were many more that they had never seen before—most of them had lost their clear minds. She doesn't spend any more time talking to them, she quickens her 'pace' and goes straight in the direction she thinks she is.

The attraction behind her waned, the souls thinned, and then, a soft light came from front of her eyes—it was the light of reality, and she returned to her body.

"You've finally woken up." The first thing she heard was Lynn's voice, with concern and a hint of relief, "You slept for four whole days, but you did come back safely." ”

Yuffie sat up and found herself lying on a soft bed, her hair and clothes neatly groomed and comfortable. She turned her head to see her friend's smiling face, reaffirming that she was in reality.

The two hugged for a moment, and she exhaled softly and fell back on the bed, integrating the memories that had been stored in her soul with her body.

Then she opened her eyes. The setting sun cast the narrow shadow of the window lattice on Lynn's side, and she followed the shadow to move her gaze all the way, finally resting on her friend's short blonde hair with a faint sheen.

"I think, though it may not be something to be happy about." She said to Lynn, "You can go home again." ”
