Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 744: An old...sister?

“…It’s not really a resurrection.”

Aleister breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "After all, she is not completely dead... If her soul has already drifted into the river of dreams, I can't get it back anyway. From this point of view, I have to thank the Count."

In fact, Aleister himself was sweating a little.

Although her path of transcendence had reached the fourth energy level, making her the backbone of the extraordinary forces in most countries and able to complete most rituals... this was her first time attempting the resurrection ritual.

Although the soul is required to be intact and the body is still alive... and this resurrection is not complete, the soul will still leave the body after a certain period of time, and it needs to be resurrected again or calmed down by other methods.

But this is a genuine "resurrection ceremony" after all.

It's not like the Son of the Moon, who couldn't figure out whether the resurrected person was his own transformation, but rather letting the original soul return to his own body - a true resurrection.

This is one of the earliest "resurrection" abilities that a superhuman can access.

When the girl sat up from the bed, she glanced at the honey badger lady disguised as a middle-aged man and Aleister who had changed back to Aiwass, and subconsciously stretched out her hands to cover her body. She looked around in confusion, but there was still fear in the depths of her pupils.

Everything that happened before was imprinted in her mind like a nightmare, and she was afraid that she would never forget it for the rest of her life.

Looking at the clear yet stupid eyes of the female college student, Aleister said leisurely: "You are lucky, Miss. You met me - so you have the opportunity to return to your body and not... be like them."

Aleister said this, pointing to the big bed full of souls.

Christina subconsciously looked in the direction where Aleister extended his hand, and then screamed in horror: "Ah ...

Because she had truly "died once" and existed as a soul for a few hours...she now had the adaptability to the twilight path. It was unclear how strong it was, but at least she had the gift of clairvoyance.

In her eyes now, the originally soft and luxurious bed now looked like a piece of chocolate covered with maggots - on the red bed, there were countless pure white, translucent spirits "sticking" to it.

Most of the spirits had shrunk into a maggot-like "cocoon". Their limbs had withered, and their heads and bodies had merged together, turning them into fat white worms.

There were still a few spirits whose graceful figures could still be vaguely seen, but their heads, hands and feet had become thinner, and they looked like rice cakes. Only two or three spirits whose facial features were already somewhat blurred could be seen, and they were looking at him with resentful eyes.

The moment she saw them, the vague memories in Christina's mind suddenly became clear.

She finally remembered that when she was in a daze, she was lying in the same place with these souls, entangled with them!
A strong feeling of nausea made her want to vomit, and her stomach moved. But at this time, her body did not react at all, and she did not bend down at all. This made her choke and cough. The violent coughing made her vomiting feel gone, and was replaced by a sense of panic: "Why... my... body..."

She stuttered a little, and her originally clever tongue became less obedient. After a long while, she suddenly recovered.

"Because you're already dead, girl."

Aleister sentenced her to death without hesitation: "It's not that 'your soul temporarily left your body', but that I called your soul back and stuffed it back into your body, delaying this death."

Christina glanced at Aleister, who had transformed back into Aiwass's form, and awe and gratitude flashed in her eyes.

"Dear Mr……"

She was silent for a while, lowered her head in frustration, and said intermittently: "I have no way... to repay... "

She was smart enough to know that the other party had gone to great lengths to "resurrect" her, probably because he wanted to get something from her.

But she couldn't remember what value she had besides this body...

Aleister smiled and changed back to Bayard's posture in front of her surprised and delighted gaze.

"you……??"

"Shh, don't mind it."

Aleister put his hand in front of his lips and smiled mysteriously.

She walked up to Christina, covered her with a blanket, and hugged her gently: "I want to make a deal with you..."

"--I promise."

Christina answered without hesitation. Aleister was a little surprised: "You haven't even heard what I want to say!"

She glanced at the ice sculptures in the room, a hint of fear on her face: "Whatever... it is... I'll agree to it."

Although it's the back...

But she could also see that the ice sculpture was Earl Dawn, who was as powerful as a god in front of her!
Since she was killed by Earl Dawn, and these two people killed Earl Dawn and saved herself...it means that they are much stronger than Earl Dawn.

——I couldn't even resist Earl Dawn, so I had no ability to resist these two people!

Even without talking about gratitude or compensation, she had no room for bargaining.

Aleister finally showed some interest in her: "What's your name?"

"Christina... Weber."

The girl wrapped herself in a blanket and answered slowly with an awkward tongue, trying not to bite her tongue.

Knowing the importance of turning back when you are lost...this is not too stupid.

Through the mirror demon, Aleister knew what the other party originally wanted to do. Fortunately, the evil deeds and corruption have not yet come to fruition... Now there is a chance for redemption.

This is exactly why the earthbound spirit called Aleister.

"Well, Mr. Weber. You can't fully control your current body by yourself. Just like a resurrected corpse, it moves slowly and speaks slowly. Because there is a gap between your soul and body, it is probably impossible for you to control your body finely. Maybe after a while, your soul will leave your body on its own."

Aleister said slowly: “But I have a win-win business here.

"——I plan to plant a spirit in your body, and you two will share one body. With her filling, you can at least use this body more conveniently. If your soul accidentally leaves your body, she can also pull it back for you.

"She is considered your senior, with a fifth energy level. If you encounter any danger, you can ask for her help.

"With her help... you will not only be able to recover your mobility, but also make further progress on the Path of Twilight. In return, you will do something for me."

For Christina, this can probably be considered a kind of portable grandfather.

...Considering Alice's specific situation, perhaps she can be considered a personal sister?

"I promise."

Christina agreed without hesitation.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief - becoming a pawn of a powerful man was at least better than the worst possible outcome she had imagined.

So Aleister placed the vibrating and humming "Minion Card: Earthbound Spirit (Death)" on her forehead. Christina felt its vibration and closed her eyes in fear.

But it's not that complicated -

——Release the card.

Aleister said in his heart.

The next moment, the tarot card began to disintegrate and collapse spontaneously, turning into black salt and yellow smoke that drifted out of it and was then directly absorbed by Christina's body - she was now a "resurrected corpse" and was the best container for this kind of ghost.

After a long time, Christina slowly opened her eyes.

There was no fear in his eyes, but rather intimacy and gratitude.

"Owner……"

Alice used Christina's body awkwardly and said word by word: "Thank you..."
