Hilda's sudden collapse shocked everyone. Hao Ren, who was the closest to her, was the first to react. He quickly held Hilda's shoulder and asked, "Hey, hey, what happened?"
Hilda had completely lost consciousness. Hao Ren even felt that she was like a dead person: her body was stiff, her face was pale, and she could not even feel her breath! Vivian was the second to react. She quickly used ice cubes to freeze Hilda's face and activated her blood to resuscitate her. After a long while, Hilda finally had a weak breath, but there was no sign of her waking up.
"What's going on? Too much pressure, suddenly relaxed and went into shock? "Hao Ren subconsciously thought of this reason.
Vivian's expression was much more solemn and puzzled. "No, it doesn't seem like it. I can't feel any... intelligence in her. I forcibly activated her blood and physical energy to 'live' her body. Logically speaking, she should have regained consciousness, but she hasn't opened her eyes yet."
Just as Vivian said, Hilda's body had completely stopped physical activity for the past few minutes. It could be said that she was 100% dead. Thanks to the unique blood magic of the vampires, she was resurrected from a temporary state of suspended animation. But now, there was no sign of consciousness in her body. It was as if her soul had left this exhausted body. What was left in front of everyone was just a mass of functioning flesh and blood.
"Get out of the way. I'll do a shallow scan." The MDT seemed to have guessed something. It shone a light blue light on Hilda's body. "Complete basic health monitoring... There is minimal activity in the physiological tissues. No signs of rational nerve impulses detected. No brain activity detected. No polymorphic mental power detected. Preliminary identification of a dead individual... This is going to be interesting. This elf may be dead."
"What the f * ck …" Hao Ren was dumbfounded. He did not expect a sudden piece of good news to kill Hilda. After the initial shock, he quickly turned to Vivian and said, "Quick, use your transformation spell …"
"It's useless." The MDT interrupted Vivian's spell-casting. "She has just used the power of her blood to revive Hilda's body. Now, this elf's body is alive. Her current state should be due to a deeper reason... Well, there is a universal medical pod on the spaceship. We need to send her for a full scan."
When Y'zaks heard this, he walked towards the elevator and was about to call for help. But before he could take two steps, Vivian stopped him. "Wait! It's best not to let anyone know — it would cause panic at this juncture. "
"We'll find out sooner or later, right?" Y'zaks turned around and said.
"I agree with Vivian." Hao Ren nodded. "Let's delay it for now. At least until the medical equipment on the spaceship comes up with the test report. MDT, teleport us directly to the spaceship. Vivian, you're smart. You stay here and deal with the elves. If anyone comes to ask about the situation, tell them that the Queen suddenly took us out to inspect the city... "
"Can we fool them?" Vivian was a little dumbfounded. "And how are we going to fool the guards of the elevator? Where did the Queen go out from? "
Hao Ren pointed outside the window and said, "Didn't a giant white-furred four-legged fanged beast jump down from above yesterday? These elves should be immune to our strange ability. Plus, their Queen has been with us for a long time. This excuse should be able to delay them for a while. Regardless of the medical pod, I'll try to come back within two hours or at least send you a letter. Also, if Lily comes back, tell her to behave... No, you'd better trick her to go out and have fun. That girl is too good at spoiling things. "
Hao Ren was usually quiet and listless, but in this emergency, it seemed that his potential was suddenly stimulated. He calmly gave a lot of instructions. Vivian listened and nodded. Finally, Hao Ren took out a small silver cube from the Dimensional Pocket and handed it to her. "Take this. This is the non-authorized crew communicator on the spaceship. I'll call you if anything happens."
The tenants in Hao Ren's house did not have access to the Imperial Data Link, so they could not access the mental communication network. However, the Petrachelys was a spacecraft prepared for inspectors, and inspectors often came into contact with "civilian units" who could not access the data link. So, the spacecraft was prepared with a lot of such communicators. They could only access one secure channel and did not intersect with the data link. It was a good thing to deal with emergencies. When Hao Ren left the spaceship, he stuffed one into the Dimensional Pocket, but then he remembered.
Vivian took the communicator and nodded. Hao Ren picked up Hilda, who did not know whether she was dead or alive, and disappeared in the teleportation screen with Y'zaks and the MDT.
The MDT directly set the landing point to the medical bay. After the teleportation dizziness faded, Hao Ren saw the medical pod in front of him. The spaceship had received the order to prepare before they arrived. Now, the lid of the medical pod was slowly opening, and various equipment around it were also flashing, indicating that it was on standby. An autonomous robot flew over and helped Hao Ren put Hilda into the medical pod, and then deftly fastened itself to the special connector on the side of the medical pod. These autonomous robots were all equipped with a full set of operating procedures for the spaceship, and could take on all the crew's duties, including medical care, when there were no professionals on the spaceship.
The mainframe of the medical bay began to report the results in a stiff voice. "Intervention complete... Scanning target... carbon-based, class IV, closed internal circulation type organism, active organism. Death determined... Another check, determined cause of death... loss of intelligence. Another check, determined cause of death... necrosis of the soul. Another check... "
Amidst the buzzing of various equipment, the AI of the medical bay quickly completed a series of dozens of pages of detailed report. Hao Ren and Y'zaks looked at the report on the holographic projection. Neither of them could understand the professional jargon. Finally, Hao Ren asked the mainframe of the medical bay to briefly report the situation, and got a concise sentence: "Death of the soul."
"How could it be so sudden..." Hao Ren felt that the development of the matter was a bit strange. Hilda, who was standing in front of him and laughing with everyone, was now judged to be soul dead. It was hard to accept. He even felt that it was easier to accept that Hilda suddenly relaxed and died of shock due to stress. However, the medical bay mainframe's judgment in this regard was unquestionable. Hilda was indeed dead, and she had died a long time ago.
The MDT summarized some of the special items in the test report and presented it to Hao Ren. The latter saw the eye-catching key items at a glance: date of loss... 20 to 30 days ago... soul remnant...
"What does this mean?" Hao Ren had a guess, but he dared not believe what the report said was true.
The voice of the MDT was very calm. "Hilda should have 'died' a long time ago. If I'm not mistaken... she was already dead when she entered The Plane of Dreams. The loss of her soul started 20 to 30 days ago, which is the dissipation of a person after death. But under normal circumstances, the loss process is very, very fast. For ordinary people, it often takes only a moment, but her soul took dozens of days to completely dissipate. "
"That means..."
"These days, what is with us is only her remaining obsession." The MDT slowly landed on Hao Ren's shoulder. "Not only you and me, but even she herself knows nothing about it."
The lid of the medical pod slowly opened, and Hilda's body, which was still warm but was actually dead, appeared in front of Hao Ren. Her face was pale, but there was no sign of pain. There was even a faint smile on her lips, as if she had fallen asleep in a beautiful dream.
She had already died when the explosion occurred on the Isle of Rainbows. Like countless others, she had been instantly killed by the powerful arcane energy. However, the moment the spatial rift opened up, her body had been thrown into another world. Her soul had been left with some fragments, and these fragments had formed an obsession that she did not even know that she had died. In the following month or so, she had been driven by this obsession all the way to where she was today. To return home, to protect her people, to protect her homeland. These obsessions had caused her soul to weaken day by day without her even knowing it. It was only at that moment that she realized that all the burdens on her shoulders had disappeared. This exhausted queen had finally fallen asleep in a beautiful dream.
This soul that was obsessed with going home could finally rest.
The atmosphere at the scene fell to a freezing point. Hao Ren's mind was filled with chaotic noises until Raven 12345's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
