Witch Special

The sight of Lin Zhenxi parading through the streets with a figure floating behind her was quite visually striking, startling everyone who encountered her. Fortunately, this was inside the "company," where anything was possible. Lin Zhenxi could unbridledly display her extraordinary abilities without fear of punishment. If she were outside, she would likely have been sanctioned by the "company" by now.

Fortunately, in the "company," pure physical distance didn't really matter much; portals made it incredibly convenient for employees to get anywhere. After jumping through several portals, they quickly arrived at the medical center, using the internal employee passageway and entering through the back door. After a few turns, they arrived at the room where Ruby Koschi's brain, the only remaining organ in her body, was stored.

Lin Zhenxi lowered the suspended body to the same height as the brain floating in the solution, bringing the two as close as possible. Then, she pointed her wand at the brain in the jar and cast a forbidden spell.

"The soul is out of body!"

This spell was no less dangerous than the three Unforgivable Curses. It wasn't included in the list for the same reason as the Abortion Curse: it was too dangerous. If it were included, it might have attracted a large number of Dark wizards to learn it, increasing its threat. Rather than that, it would have been better to keep it hidden from the start, so no one would know about it.

Of course, the danger of this spell goes far beyond the terrifying effects. It is also extremely difficult to cast, and the cost of failure is unbearable.

After all, this magic involves the soul, and magic related to the soul is also the most dangerous area, even in the wizarding world where ghosts and monsters are more common. If you are not careful, you may be doomed.

"Soul Out of Body" (Soul Out of Body), as the name suggests, is a spell that rips the soul from the body. This spell can only succeed if the opponent has completely lost the will to resist, or if the caster's soul strength and determination are superior to the opponent's. If the spell fails, the backlash will in turn tear the caster's soul apart, causing extremely difficult to repair damage.

Therefore, this magic is not suitable for use against enemies at all, but is more suitable for torturing enemies who have lost their ability to resist. Even the pain caused by directly torturing the soul is far less than the pain caused by directly torturing the soul.

Lin Zhenxi even suspected that this magic was not invented by wizards at all, but by the races living in hell, such as demons or devils. Only they would be interested in how to inflict greater pain on their enemies. As for wizards, the effect of Heart-piercing and Bone-cutting was completely sufficient.

But as the saying goes, power itself is neither good nor evil; it all depends on the person using it. Just like now, Lin Zhenxi used this magic to extract Ruby Kesiqi's soul from her brain and transfer it to her new body. This is a legitimate use.

Ruby Kesiqi's soul was already very weak. After all, the soul needed the support of the body. A pure soul was very fragile, like the last remaining image of a person in this world, even unable to be touched. And a soul with only a brain left in the body was extremely weak.

So Lin Zhenxi pulled her soul out with almost no obstacles, as easy as pulling out the plug of a bathtub.

As Lin Zhenxi completed her spell, a dim milky white figure flew out from the brain in the jar. It was exactly the appearance of Ruby Koschi that Lin Zhenxi saw in the flashback.

But now her soul expression was very empty, just floating quietly in the air, without any reaction to the outside world.

This was bad news. This soul's spirituality was almost completely exhausted. If no one cared for her, she would perish. Her physical features would disappear, and she would slowly move toward a white light. When her face completely disappeared, it would mean that she had forgotten herself, and there would be no hope for her.

So, although her condition was already very bad, it wasn't hopelessly bad. At least her soul's face was still clear. All she needed was a healthy body to support her, and she could re-cultivate her soul's spirituality. However, if she did so, her recovery would likely take much longer than expected.

Lin Zhenxi turned her head to look at Yan Qing and Liz Nightingale, and found that they were both just looking at her. Neither of them looked at the soul of Ruby Koschi floating beside her. She knew that they did not have the ability to see through souls. Even if Lin Zhenxi put a soul in front of them, they did not have the corresponding qualifications and would still not be able to see anything.

Indeed, seeing spirits isn't necessarily a good thing, as there are actually quite a few spirits wandering around this world unwilling to leave. As they lose their sense of self, these spirits gradually become irritable, aggressive, and even hostile to all living things.

The soul that has turned bad is commonly known as an evil spirit.

Although evil spirits are aggressive, they are spirits after all. Having lost their physical bodies, they no longer have the ability to influence reality and cannot even move a small stone.

However, if someone sees them and is frightened by their presence, they establish a connection with them, and through this connection, the evil spirits can contact those who have the ability to see spirits. As for what happens next, it's very cruel.

Therefore, being able to see souls is actually not a good thing. Evil spirits are things that are seriously inclined towards the mysterious side. If you don’t have the power of the mysterious side, it will be difficult to even resist, and you will only be unilaterally harmed by the evil spirits.

Of course, if they possessed magical powers or some mystical item to protect them, that was another matter entirely. Souls without a physical body could be seen as balloons containing their own power. Even if they had a physical form, they would burst with a single poke. They only acted arrogantly because they could not be touched. Those with even a little skill could even dispatch evil spirits with a single spell.

Therefore, the correct approach is to first acquire magical powers, or something similar, and then access abilities like seeing spirits, so as to protect oneself. Those who inexplicably develop clairvoyance but lack the means to counteract evil spirits will surely lead a very difficult life, and may even easily end up dead.

Lin Zhenxi didn't point out that Ruby Kesiqi's soul was right beside her. She immediately began the process of channeling the soul. This step was much easier because the body behind her was specially prepared for Ruby Kesiqi. The two had an excellent compatibility, almost like the positive and negative poles of a magnet. The moment they came close, the soul eagerly entered the body.

This was thanks to their adoption of Lin Zhenxi's method, using alchemy rather than cloning technology to create Ruby Kesiqi's body. Although cloning technology can ensure that the genes of the body are consistent with Ruby Kesiqi, the compatibility of soul and body is not determined by the degree of genetic matching, but by those mysterious factors.

After the soul entered her body, Ruby Kesiqi's body shook violently, then she let out a long sigh and became lively again.

A body without a soul is like a dead object. Even with a heartbeat, it doesn't feel like a human. But now, this inhuman feeling has dissipated.

But expecting her to open her eyes and speak immediately was equally unrealistic. Ruby Kesiqi's soul was missing a significant amount of spirituality, and only through self-cultivation could she regain her spirituality and become a normal person. Before then, she was practically a vegetative state, unresponsive to external stimuli.

Lin Zhenxi handed Ruby Kesiqi, whose breathing was steady and she looked as if she were asleep, to Liz Nightingale and explained the little braised egg's condition. Liz Nightingale was slightly disappointed to hear that she would still need to lie in the nutrition chamber for an unknown amount of time before waking up. She had thought that this patient would be cured immediately after Lin Zhenxi's treatment, but it turned out that she still needed to recuperate.

There was actually a convalescent center within the "company," on the same level as Liz Nightingale's medical center and Yan Qing's resettlement center. As the name suggests, it was a place for convalescence. If Lin Zhenxi had followed her advice, Ruby Ke Siqi should have been sent there, but Liz Nightingale didn't want to let this interesting case slip away, so she took the initiative to keep her at the medical center.

Anyway, Ruby Keschi had no independent consciousness at the moment, so she actually needed a nutrition tank more than a caregiver's care. Those were plentiful in both medical centers and resettlement centers, but convalescent centers, where patients recuperated, offered more humanistic care and medical services than emergency medical measures like nutrition tanks.

Lin Zhenxi didn't care. Her work was done anyway. So she took out her personal terminal and prepared to put an end to this matter once and for all.

As the ultimate person in charge of this incident, Liz Nightingale gave Lin Zhenxi a full score in front of her, as a reward for allowing her to see so many new and interesting things that she had never even imagined before.

The five-star review and a highly praised message added another brilliant touch to Lin Zhenxi's resume.

At the same time, the company's contribution points and bonus for this commission were also sent to Lin Zhenxi's account. Looking at the two new figures in the account, Lin Zhenxi couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

It's quite profitable, almost equivalent to her going to another world halfway. It would be great if there were more such jobs.

At this point, the brain in a jar incident has come to an end.
