Chapter 8
The silhouette was clearer and more opaque than the previous one, as if it was no longer a mere memory echo but it was truly the spirit of the person who was buried here.
The look of the silhouette was still similar, as it had become clearer, now Shen Qinglian could observe her appearance more closely. She had moonlit hair and eye color, the hair cascading down until reaching her thigh. Her face was very beautiful and ethereal that she almost got so mesmerized in it. Underneath the long hair, Shen Qunglian could also observe long ears peeking through them. This silhouette was not a human…
"Thank you, dear…"
Shen Qinglian could hear a slight whisper coming through from the silhouette.
"I can finally be with his traces again. My beloved…". The silhouette sat down and somehow it could pick up the ring and take it with her.
Can the silhouette physically touch others?
The scene in front of her truly shocked her, as even in modern days of earth no ghost or non-living human could be resurrected nor have any interaction. Let alone having a resurrection, even a wandering ghost was still a mere ghost story or fairy tale with even the most modern time on the Earth. The least that they could do was a mere genetic thinkering or other ways to let humans keep on living.
"Ah, sorry dear. I'm lost in my reunion with my beloved traces. Like I said before, thank you my dear.
"I noticed the moment you actually landed on this island, I noticed your soul.
"But not only your soul that I noticed, even that system that is attached to you. It seemed another batch had come again, huh…"
The silhouette started to rumble on things Shen Qinglian hardly knew about.
"Um.. excuse me…" Shen Qinglian gathered her courage and tried to get the attention of the silhouette.
"Yes, dear…" The silhouette stopped her rumbling and focused on her as she called it.
"So… you could really see and talk to me?" Shen Qinglian wondered.
"Ah… yes my dear, it must've been your first time seeing a spirit huh." The silhouette proclaimed with a slight smile.
"Spirit, huh. I mean what did you just mean by you noticing my soul and what about the system that I have with me? Do you know why I am here?"
She asked as this whole thing was just like a dream for her, she was just scared that she would just wake up from this beautiful dream and go back trapped in her own failing body and keep on being experimented on by others.
"Oh, dear. The poor soul, I certainly can see that you soul is very ****** as *******. Moreover the ****** is the one that ******* all you to this ******* so you could *******." Shen Qinglian could barely hear what is the silhouette is saying, as it spoke some of the words became inaudible for some reasons.
"Oh my, it seems it's not time yet. What I can say to you now is just, this is your fate dear. Make sure you cherish this second chance you have." The silhouette said softly after all the spectacle.
"Let's not take your time for too long, shall we dear… As you know you have places to be…" As if knowing about the time limit mission, the silhouette walked away from her and went to the side of the base of tree beside the headstone.
"Come, dear"
Shen Qinglian walked closer to it as she had nothing better, especially as she had used her [Observations skill] on it before and found that this silhouette was really not a danger for her.

[***** *** Spirit Guardian: An ancient spectral spirit bound to the Silver Willow Tree, protecting its roots and its island as its duty.]
On the base of the tree, the silhouette tapped her finger onto it. Suddenly, without any warning the land near the base of the tree and its roots slided to the side, like magic. Underneath there, there was a silver crate buried. The silhouette pointed at it and said, "It's the fate of your soul to land here and reunite me with my beloved's traces. So, open and use it. It can help your journey."

"All of these will surely help your journey. Especially that baby, make sure to raise it well in my stead.
"Now, let me rest again until my beloved can come. Farewell dear…"
After saying that the silhouette directly dissipated, without even waiting for her reply. Shen Qinglian hurriedly inspected all of the things she just obtained and thought of how she could bring everything.
[Skill triggered]
[Druid Bag: A used bag of an elven druid, allowing 7 inventory spaces. Can carry living things in it. Equipable]
Thankfully this bag could solve her problem of having too much stuff. It even had a very interesting feature, allowing her to store living things in it.
Does it mean I could store some animals or plants that I find?

[Warning]
[Once a Survivor unlocks one Raft Upgrade Path, all other Raft Upgrade Paths will become unavailable for learning.]
Whoa…
The translucent window kept popping up to give her warning and instructions after Shen Qinglian used her observation on the blueprint. This blueprint was very special from the looks of it. As the system had mentioned that once a survivor chooses one raft upgrade, they cannot change it to other things.
But it is better to have a unique raft upgrade path, right…
Without having any more thought, Shen Qinglian directly learned the blueprint.
