Looking around, we didn't discover any skeletal remains in the room, nor were there any bone-strengthening powder brandishing its claws in front of us. This left us, who were already on high alert, at a loss as to what to do.
Of course, we don't really want to see a ghoul standing in front of us.
"That's strange, I clearly sensed an energy fluctuation when I entered."
Lin Xue's confused voice resounded next to me. Then, she looked around and walked into the room. She suddenly shouted,
She suddenly shouted, "A — ghost —?"
Milady, I worship you, I worship you from the bottom of my heart!
At this moment, we suddenly heard a loud thud behind us.
This sound is simply too familiar … I held back my laughter and turned around, just in time to see Alaya clumsily crawling up from the ground and dusting off the dust on her body.
Even though this luxurious house had a high roof, it wasn't easy for Alaya to fly in the corridor. That was why she had been following behind us since a while ago.
An angel walking on her feet might not be a big deal, but if this angel was Alaya, then something hilarious would definitely happen.
Every time I thought about how my solemn and holy younger sister hooked her left foot over her right foot to push herself to the ground, I couldn't help but feel speechless.
At this moment, Alaya finally dusted off the dust on her body. Then, the gigantic wings on her back trembled slightly. Before I could stop her, the slightly slow younger sister began to flap her wings like a bird shaking off the water droplets on its body.
In an instant, the entire room was filled with smoke. Everyone choked and coughed …
Does this silly lass never use her brain before doing things? Just with such a seriously off-line way of thinking, how in the world did she decide on the movement of a planet in the past!
Just as the entire room was filled with flying dust, I suddenly saw a blurry figure flash past behind us from the corner of my eye.
I could vaguely make out that it was an unfamiliar woman wearing a long dress.
"Pandora!"
Pandora, who was the most agile among them, immediately made her move. With a speed that was almost ghostly, she rushed to the path that the figure must take to escape. However, no one expected that the figure would pass through Pandora's body without any hindrance!
Pandora was slightly startled, and then her eyes instantly turned into the icy blue color of high-speed data calculation. She glanced at the incorporeal figure and immediately came up with the best solution.
"Energy Binding Field!"
As soon as he finished speaking, with Pandora as the center, the entire room was immediately filled with a pale blue halo. The strange woman who had already rushed to the door was also frozen in mid-air, as if a picture had been frozen.
A creature whose entire body was made of energy? I immediately thought of the extras in some sort of haunted house scene.
As expected, when Araya's fake cloud effect finally dissipated, we saw a specter that was suspended in midair. His entire body was glowing with a pale white light.
It seemed that this was the woman who had escaped into this room and died in the end. To be honest, we all felt sympathy for her. Of course, the prerequisite was that she hadn't completely turned into an undead puppet.
I asked Pandora to use that whatever force field to seal the room and release the energy binding on the other party.
As soon as she regained her freedom, the specter immediately let out a low shriek, and then suddenly rushed in the direction of the door. When she was blocked by a blue wall of light, she quickly rushed to the corner of the wall and tightly curled up into a ball. The light on her body flickered, and she looked incomparably terrified.
Why do I feel that this role should be reversed? At this time, it should be the specter scaring the person, not the person scaring the specter, right?
Lin Xue, who was the most spirited one, had the same feeling. She shrugged and shook her head. "I was ready to scream, but this specter isn't cooperating …" Then, she took a few steps forward and looked down at the trembling specter. "Hey, specter, cooperate with me. Can you scare me?"
I rubbed my forehead speechlessly. I couldn't understand Lin Xue's mischievous personality. "Are you sure that she understands Chinese?"
Lin Xue arched her brows at me. She said in an unquestionable tone, "Didn't you notice that the lazy fellow has already achieved the unification of Chinese in this book?"
All of us remained silent.
"No … No …" The specter finally spoke. It was a hollow and high-pitched female voice. She shivered and curled herself into a ball. "Don't purify me. I've never harmed anyone … Really, I've never harmed anyone …"
Purify her? I couldn't wrap my head around it. As a specter, isn't this fellow too embarrassing?
But very quickly, I noticed who the specter had been avoiding. It was Alaya, who was preening her feathers behind me and didn't realize that she had become the focus of everyone's attention.
After a while, the angel sister finally noticed the atmosphere around her. She curiously lifted her head from her wings and looked at me with a confused expression. Then, she revealed a silly smile.
Can you be any slower?!
I finally understood. It turned out that the specter was afraid of the angel in front of her. Alaya, whose body was almost completely made up of holy energy, was basically a Super Elite to a small specter. A single feather from the angel sister would be able to blast the specter into smithereens. It was obvious that the specter in front of me still retained her sanity. She wasn't like those brainless zombies who would fearlessly charge at a true God.
The Gods that the World of Azeroth worshipped weren't God, Holy Light, Elements, Titan, or Moon God. The beliefs in this world were rather complicated and their doctrines were strange. However, there was one thing that seemed to be common to the Christianity on Earth. Angels were the messengers of God. They were incomparably powerful and noble. They were also the nemesis of all dark creatures.
When we were in another world, Jingle had told us that angels existed in most worlds. This was because the influence of the Protoss of the Star Domain was too great. Even the worlds that didn't believe in them were affected by the power of law and worshipped angels. Although Alaya was an apostle of the Xiling Empire, she was still a type of angel. To a specter, she was a natural enemy.
After I repeatedly promised that we wouldn't harm her and had Alaya retract all the holy energy in her body, the specter finally calmed down slightly.
This was the first time I had ever seen a creature like a specter. Although I had already seen all sorts of strange creatures, including the Palm Goddess, I was still quite curious about this mysterious existence that had such a long history.
Although the other party was an undead, she didn't actually look that scary. Perhaps it was due to the special characteristics of undead creatures like specters that she still retained the appearance she had when she was alive. She was wearing a simple maid's uniform. She probably used to be a maid in this large mansion. She had long, flaxen hair that reached her waist. Although she could be called a beauty, I had already developed a resistance to visual nourishment after spending so much time with Shallow Shallow and the other beauties. Not to mention, she was a specter that had been dead for who knew how long …
Well, although that maid uniform was quite … cough, cough, let me check to see if I had opened up a public mental communication channel again …
Since the specter was currently terrified, and the only one among us with the greatest healing ability was Alaya, who seemed to be the only one capable of making this undead creature tell the truth, the younger angel sister was chosen to be the first ambassador for this undead gathering. She carefully (I said "carefully" because I wanted to prevent myself from prostrating on the ground …) approached the trembling specter who was sitting on the bed as if she would run away at any moment. She stopped at a distance that was acceptable to both of us and asked gently, "What's your name?"
At this moment, the younger angel sister was emanating a warm aura filled with the spirit of universal love. It was likely that the specter who had been lowering her head all this time, not daring to look at her directly, would never have imagined that the angel in front of her had almost collapsed to the ground just a second ago …
"… An … Anveena Leica … That should be my name. I'm a commoner, and I don't have a family name …"
The specter hesitated for a long while before replying in a low voice. It seemed that she hadn't heard this name for so long that she had almost forgotten about it.
"Fortunately, we discovered it in time." At this moment, Sandora's voice suddenly sounded in my mind. "Under normal circumstances, the moment a spiritual creature completely forgets its own name is the moment it completely loses its original self. This specter in front of us must have been a very pure fellow when she was alive. There aren't too many impurities in her soul, which is why it wasn't so easy for her to forget her own name."
Alaya paused for a moment before asking in a gentler tone, "Very good.
"Very good. Then, Anveena, can you tell us about your experience?"
