The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

493: The Other Half

Zi Cheng complained in her heart, and after saying a few humble things, proceeded to burn the dolls with her heavenly flame.

Magic flames had not worked, but the heavenly flame was very effective.

Screams erupted from the burned dolls as soon as the flames touched them.

“Ah!”

The voices were shrill like that of a small child.
Their hiding places had just been destroyed, burned away by the fire.

The same time the screams sounded, the world in front of Yaoyue changed.
Pale-faced little girls stood glaring in resentment at the group, screaming shrilly, but the only ones who saw them were Yaoyue and Feng Wu.

Everyone brought their guards up.
They couldn’t see, but they could hear, and the instant they heard the harsh-as-breaking-glass screams, their expressions changed.

Yaoyue reacted quickly by casting a spell.
Each spirit body was full of grievance and churned with miasma.
It was easy to see from a glance that they had killed many people.

Yaoyue used magic to trap their little bodies.
She had a hard time corralling them, but once she did, she tried to send them to reincarnate.
Unfortunately she was unsuccessful.

“Yaoyue?” Mogefei looked at Yaoyue with questions in his eyes.

They had all seen her cast a necromancer spell just now.
They thought she would subdue the spirits, but she stopped unexpectedly, so they were uneasy because of the sudden change.

They could see Yaoyue was afraid.

The only one amongst them who could see the spirits was Yaoyue.
If she couldn’t deal with the spirits, then wouldn’t that mean the only thing the rest of them could do was wait for death?

“Take this and spray it in your eyes.” She tossed a bottle of psychic potion at Mogefei.

He caught it in one hand and promptly did as told.
After that the bottle was passed around to everyone, and they could clearly see what Yaoyue saw.

The pale-faced little girls in white skirts had looks of intense hatred on their faces as they fought against Yaoyue.
Yaoyue’s situation did not look good.
In fact, it looked like she would be overwhelmed soon.

This startled everyone and they raised their weapons ready to cast magic and qi to assist.
Ah, but it was a pity.
Being able to see the spirits didn’t mean they had the ability to attack the spirits.

Spirits were incorporeal and the only magic that could influence them was special necromancer magic.

“These guys only have half their souls.
It’s not possible to send them off to reincarnate.” Rui Baby had come out to watch the show and was sitting on top of Feng Wu’s hair.
He communicated telepathically to Feng Wu so no one else heard him.

Feng Wu tilted her head.
“Where is the other half?”

“I don’t know,” said Rui Baby.

“Sleep!” Yaoyue, unable to take it anymore, used a trap formation to trap all the spirits together so they wouldn’t be able to escape temporarily.

“Miss Yaoyue! Are you all right?!”

“Miss Yaoyue, what should we do?!”

“Can’t those things be killed?!”

“Yaoyue, come here and rest.” This last comment was made by Mogefei.

He was very concerned for his teammate.

A pale-faced Yaoyue nodded and sat down on a chair with Zi Cheng and Ai Lin’s assistance.
She took out a potion from her space ring, and after drinking it down in one big gulp, managed to restore a lot of the color to her face.

Though everyone there was filled with questions, they couldn’t bear to pester her, seeing as tired as she was.
They could only stand aside and worry.

“Do not be anxious everyone.
Let me share the situation with you all,” Yaoyue said after resting a while.

“I believe you’ve seen what I saw.
Originally, I wanted to send these spirits to be reincarnated, but unfortunately, they are incomplete souls; so I can not send them away, nor can they be destroyed.
Whether we want to destroy them or send them away to be reincarnated, we must find their other halves, otherwise we may never be able to leave here.”

Yaoyue told them the worst of it without any sugarcoating.
There was no way to hide it.

“But we don’t know where their other halves are!” Someone whispered loudly.

“It doesn’t matter, even if we have to dig three feet down, we must find them.” Someone else spoke with determination.

They were bursting with motivation to find the souls, so they searched everywhere for anything suspicious.

Considering how they found the souls in the dolls, the other halves were probably hidden in inconspicuous objects as well.

In order to find them, they took down everything suspicious and had Zi Cheng set it all aflame.
They intended to cast a wide net because if they didn’t catch their fish, they would die.

Their method wasn’t bad.
Burst of screams came from one of the piles they burned.
Quickly following that, a group of children resembling the ones earlier appeared.

The spirits had come out of a painting.

“Stop! Stop hurting us! We didn’t do anything!” The little girls cried aggrieved at their treatment.

The girls had such tears and grief in their eyes, Yaoyue couldn’t bear to keep up her attack.

“Why were you sealed in the painting?” Feng Wu asked as she stepped toward them, utterly unafraid.

The little girls saw an expressionless girl suddenly step up to them.
At first, they were a little scared, but Feng Wu’s comforting aura calmed them down.

They enthusiastically surrounded Feng Wu and answered her question in a fuss-free manner.

“We were locked up because we couldn’t beat them.
If you guys hadn’t burned the painting, we would never have gotten out.” The little girls answered very aggrieved.

“They are so bad.
Every time someone breaks in, they kill them.
You have to be careful to not be killed.” One of the little girls was worried about Feng Wu’s safety.

“They’re very bad.
They keep trying to force to us to fuse with them.
They want to dominate our consciousness and make us disappear. . . ”
