"Should we contact her now? I feel like she's no longer the Ding Yumian we know," Bai Mei said.
"Her presence is too strong. If I'm not mistaken, she must have killed Dean Li and the others," Dean Xiao said.
"Dean Xiao, I still don't understand. Not many people know about Ding Yumian's abilities. How did she end up being Councilman Zhuang's weapon against the army of sea monsters?" Wei Rong was confused.
"Dean Li must have told Councilman Zhuang about Ding Yumian." Dean Xiao let out a sigh and said, "Dean Fu has been taking care of special students like Ding Yumian in the past. However, after Dean Fu died in the battle at the Huangpu River, Ding Yumian's fate became a tricky problem."
The victims were the same as Qin Yu 'er back then. The Heresy Judgment Court would keep an eye on them at all times.
Dean Fu used to be Ding Yumian's protective umbrella, allowing her to stay in the Pearl Institute without being disturbed.
However, after Dean Fu passed away, Dean Li took over his job, including the arrangement of special students like Ding Yumian.
"This is a fake document. None of the Faculties agreed to it, but Li Xu somehow managed to come up with a fake document to expel Ding Yumian," Dean Xiao took out a photocopied document.
"It's almost the same as the real document," Bai Mei said.
"Yes, Dean Li is in charge of the recruitment and expulsion of special students. Even if we all rejected his decision, he could still come up with a fake document," Dean Xiao said.
"So you're saying that Ding Yumian received a document to expel her from the Pearl Institute before she turned herself into a deadly weapon? Doesn't that mean she has nowhere to go?" Mofan blurted out in astonishment.
Ding Yumian had always treated the Pearl Institute as her safe haven. It was a unique umbrella that protected her from being ostracized by the outside world.
To her surprise, someone had made a fuss about it!
"Therefore, it's not hard to guess that Dean Li first put Ding Yumian in a predicament where she had nowhere to go, and then proposed such a solution to Ding Yumian on behalf of the school and the deans of the other schools, hoping that Ding Yumian could consider the big picture."
"What's the difference between this and the ancient times, sacrificing an innocent girl to the Sea God for good weather?"
"That makes sense. The first condition to turn into an undead is the presence of a grudge. If Ding Yumian was willing to die, she wouldn't be able to produce a grudge. No matter how strong the presence of death was at the place where she died, she wouldn't turn into an undead," Professor Luo said.
"Then, Dean Xiao, what should we do now?"
"We need to get to the bottom of this. Let's head to the place where Ding Yumian committed suicide," Dean Xiao said.
Dean Xiao seemed to have a more mature plan on how to deal with this matter.
"What about the Pearl Tower …" Wei Rong turned around and stared at the sea monsters that were occupying the Lu Clan's Zui Village.
"There's nothing we can do even if we go," Dean Xiao said decisively without even turning his head.
…
The seawater had receded far, far away. They could even walk straight to where the seawater used to be. The sand at the bottom of the shallow sea was all exposed. They could even see the slope that extended from the land to the sea.
There was still no sign of the seawater at the bottom of the slope. Professor Shi was quite concerned about it.
"Is this Ding Yumian's doing too?" Professor Shi looked into the distance.
They could finally see the seawater after traveling around sixty kilometers. The white waves were retreating like an army that had given up on invading the human land.
"I'm not sure, Professor Luo, can you find the place where Ding Yumian turned into an undead?" Dean Xiao was not too concerned about anything else.
"It's not far away," Professor Luo's eyes glittered.
Soon, they arrived at a region of the sea where there were almost no waves.
The place was extremely quiet, as if everything had been frozen.
There was a coral island where the surface of the water was made of ordinary rocks, but what was submerged in the sea was a huge colorful coral. It was like a colorful ancient tree hanging upside down in the sea, causing the surrounding seawater to change color.
"It's here," Professor Luo said confidently.
The group went to the coral island. A strong presence of death was circling the place like a gust of wind. It did not match the tranquility and beauty of the place.
"Psychic Magic!"
Professor Luo suddenly raised a palm. His eyes became even more brilliant. Nothing in the surroundings, no matter how small the matter was, could escape his special Psychic Eyes.
A faint blue glow appeared on Professor Luo's hand. The presence of death slowly dissipated. They could vaguely see the figure of a spirit floating in the air.
The spirit was emitting a faint glow. It was most likely the body of Ghastly Ling Ling that had yet to evolve. It was like a timid little elemental life form. It did not dare leave its place, nor was it brave enough to get close to the group of humans with powerful magic.
"Dean Xiao, it's her Spirit Remnant," Professor Luo suddenly lowered his voice, as if he was worried that he might have disturbed something.
The group quickly withdrew their aura when they saw Professor Luo's reaction. They tried their best to look elegant and friendly.
The Little Remnant Thought Spirit Body was like a little girl with low intelligence. She observed them timidly and prepared herself to run away at any moment.
"You are all familiar with her when she was still alive. She will remember you if you talk to her, but don't scare her," Professor Luo said softly.
"What should we call her?"
"Call her by her name."
…
Wei Rong was the first to go closer. He was once a burly man, yet he had suddenly turned into a gentle and caring man.
He started from when they first enrolled in the school, and the interesting things that happened in the same Element. Wei Rong was Ding Yumian's Fire Element teacher. Most of Ding Yumian's Fire Element skills had come from Wei Rong.
However, when Wei Rong recalled the memory very gently and coaxed the Spirit Body of Remnant Thoughts to eliminate the hostility, the burly man's tears overflowed as he spoke.
As a teacher, Wei Rong had watched Ding Yumian grow up over the years. She used to be a quiet girl, but she gradually became more optimistic and willing to participate in group activities. She eventually became a Super Mage that the whole Pearl Institute was proud of …
Why did she suddenly become like this?
The Spirit Remnant.
It was the remnant of her soul in this world after she died.
She could have blossomed in the Pearl Institute, just like every other beautiful flower.
