Cyber Ghosts - Chapter 219
Chapter 219 Ten-Thousand-Year- Old Soul
In the morgue.
“Xiao Hong.” Seeing Xiao Hong frowning at the corpses without speaking, Liu Shuai asked anxiously, “How about these corpses? Are they puppets of evil spells?”
“No.” said Xiao Hong, shaking his head with a sigh, “as you guessed, they are not under the spells of the living dead.”
“That is to say.” Zhou Yuan said with relief, “they died of natural causes? Why are you signing?”
“Although it’s not evil spells, they didn’t die of natural causes.” said Xiao Hong, with his eyebrows twisted, shaking his head. “How could it be like this? How could it be like this? I’ve never heard of it, and I’ve never seen it.”
“What’s the matter with you?” Liu Shuai felt strange about Xiao Hong’s expression, “is there anything else in the world that you haven’t seen?”
“Let me ask you this.” Xiao Hong said solemnly, looking at Liu Shuai. “Have you ever seen a soul of ten thousand years old in a mortal body?”
“Didn’t get it.” Hao Ning also asked curiously at that time, “what do you mean by saying that a human body with a soul of ten thousand years old?”
“There is an age for the soul.” Liu Shuai explained. “The age of a soul will be the same as the age of a person. If the soul is reincarnated, it will be equivalent to a new life for the soul. And its age will be calculated again from zero. Therefore, after a person died, his soul is usually only a few decades to a hundred years old.”
“That’s right.” explained Xiao Hong. “It’s a way to keep the soul healthy. Because if the soul is over 500 years old, it will get sick. So, it must be reincarnated when the soul is still healthy. You know that, Brother Hao Ning. We saved Zhou Yuan’s parents in this way.”
“I know that it is equivalent to a reinstallation system. You explained it.” Hao Ning nodded, looking at the bodies and asked, “what do you mean by saying the ten thousand years old soul in these dead people?”
“These people are not dead.” Xiao Hong looked at the corpses and he thought for a while and corrected. “Or, they didn’t die because that the soul is separated from the body or the death of the body, but that the soul in their body is over ten thousand years old. In other words, although their body was very healthy, the soul was so old that it died before the body did. And then that brought the body to death even though the body was still healthy. And because the soul is too weak to leave the body or be reincarnated. Now, these aging souls are trapped in these bodies.”
“No wonder!” Liu Shuai said. “No wonder you just can’t find the sign of reincarnation here. No wonder that the body index of that person is just like that of a healthy person. but he suddenly died. That’s all because the soul is too weak!”
“I should have found out this problem earlier.” Xiao Hong thought for a while and sighed. “I actually misunderstood Pixiu’s words: Wang Shi Ming’s soul is only half.”
“Yes!” Hao Ning also nodded at that time. “Yan once said that if only half of the soul is left, then the whole body will become a human vegetable. Since Wang Shi Ming was still playing games, it was clearly not the case.”
“The meaning of Pixiu should be like this.” Xiao Hong carefully analyzed, “The life span of Wang Shi Ming’s soul was only half, but it’s not right. There’s no half of the life span of the soul because no one has studied how long a soul can live.”
“Maybe Pixiu doesn’t understand it herself.” Liu Shuai thought. “There is a specialty in each industry. Her specialty is the understanding of money. In the aspect of the soul, she probably knows a little. That the statement about the half soul is either what she feels or what Doctor Xue told her.” Speaking of this, Liu Shuai comforted Xiao Hong and said, “don’t blame yourself too much. It’s hard to find the problem when the soul is in the body. If it wasn’t for your high power and careful study just now, none of us could see these problems.”
“But why?” Xiao Hong shook his head and wondered, “these people can’t live to be ten thousand years old. How can their soul be ten thousand years old?”
“Did they play games too much?” Hao Ning suddenly came up with an unusual idea. “The soul has been absorbed by the game? And then the soul grows old?”
“Brother.” Liu Shuai laughed, although it was very inappropriate to laugh in this place. “Is it that you think the soul is cereal, which can be sucked away by your mouth?”
“You…” Hao Ning knew that he had a foolish idea. He looked around awkwardly and frowned. “There are so many corpses. It seems that many people with difficult and miscellaneous diseases have been sent here.”
Saying that, he suddenly felt strange when he looked at a corpse’s hand. He quickly approached to see more clearly, trying to open the shroud on the body.
“What are you going to do?” Liu Shuai hurriedly took Hao Ning’s hand and stopped him. “He’s not the person on the report. Don’t touch it! Respect the dead!”
There should be a label on the corpse. Hao Ning and others found these corpses according to the label on the report for research. Other corpses were naturally wrapped, but the hand of this body was exposed. Hao Ning was curious to look at it for a moment.
“No matter how curious I am, I won’t look at the corpse without any reason.” Hao Ning shook his head, shook off Liu Shuai’s hand and pointed to the corpse. “Don’t you think this man is a little strange?” I seem to have seen this hand before?”
“Do you have necrophilia?” Liu Shuai shivered. “Why do you feel familiar with this hand?”
“F**k off!” Hao Ning said solemnly. “the earth on this hand, and in this hand…” Hao Ning took a close look at it. “These fragments are shining green. Where do I seem to have seen it before?”
“Oh, this is the earth on the original stone, and this green light is the green light of jadeite.” said Zhou Yuan with a smile. “You forgot that. It seems that your memory has really gone worse. The people we met in the stone-gambling court yesterday all got hands like this…”
Speaking of this, Zhou Yuan was frightened by his own words and stared at others. “Isn’t he a stone-gambler, is he?”
After saying that, the four people shivered together. Liu Shuai, regardless of any respect or disrespect for the dead, hurriedly tore the shroud. Seeing the face of the man, they were all in a daze. Wasn’t that the Super Golden Finger called the roll in front of Yi Pingzhi on the TV last night?
“What’s the matter?” Hao Ning didn’t say anything for a long time. “Isn’t this Super Golden Finger one of the stone-gamblers yesterday? How could he die in a day?”
“Was it because someone was trying to make money?” Liu Shuai asked. “He has this skill so he should have a lot of money with him, and then…”
“No, no.” said Zhou Yuan, shaking his head. “You forgot that they didn’t want those Jadeites after cutting stones last night. They just did that for fun. Let alone he doesn’t have money, if he has money, he will only give money to the robber when he is robbed. How can he be killed?”
“It makes sense.” Liu Shuai said after looking at every part of the body. “There are no scars, not like fighting to die.”
Xiao Hong squinted at the corpse carefully and closed his eyes to feel it. Suddenly, his face changed greatly. He put his hand on the forehead of the corpse and immediately stepped back and said, “the soul of this man is over ten thousand years old, too!”
“What?” The other three shouted at the same time, “how could it be! Did he play games, too?”
“No way!” Liu Shuai shook his head and said, “he doesn’t look like a game lover. You can see that he has so much ash on his hands, and they are very rough. When he plays games, he must have trouble in getting his mobile screen on.”
Hao Ning was about to say something when his ears suddenly moved and he whispered, “it seems that someone is coming!”
Xiao Hong frowned and reached out his finger. All the shrouds on the bodies were intact without any trace of damage. At the same time, Xiao Hong made a gesture to others to keep quiet.
“You, who are you?” As expected, they heard Jienan’s voice, “what are you going to do?”
“Stay out of the way!” Another voice called out.
Hao Ning was just about to go out. Xiao Hong hurried to stop him and shook his head gently. “It will be OK, I promise.” With a flick of fingers, a hot wind flew out. Hao Ning knew that Xiao Hong was using Divine Transformation to protect the two outside.”
Just listening to “bang”, a person fell to the ground. And suddenly they heard Yun cried, “brother Jienan!” With another “bang”, Yun’s voice was gone.
As soon as Hao Ning heard this, he hurriedly went out to see it. Xiao Hong whispered, “you can be assured. They just fainted. But they are coming, Zhou Yuan, Virtualised reality! ”
“Got it!” Zhou Yuan reached a finger and Virtualised reality coved these four people.
Just after the Virtualised reality was set, the door of the mortuary was opened. And two people came in. Weren’t they the Super silver finger and the Super bronze finger in the black-and-white channel on TV last night?
“Silver.” said the bronze finger, frowning and looking back and forth. “What do you think is wrong about Mr. Yi? Isn’t Gold Finger dead? Doesn’t he still have us? Why is he so eager to find the body of the golden finger?”
“You don’t know it.” The silver finger said with a smile. “Mr. Yi said that we all seem to have our own super gambling skills. In fact, they are all inextricably linked with the Super gold finger. If the gold finger is gone, we be weaker and weaker.”
“So it is.” the bronze finger nodded. “How can the gold finger die so fast? This morning, when he was just going out, he fell to the ground. Before we could save him, he was found by strangers and sent to this hospital hurriedly by those people. We had no time to get the body.”
“Come on, the golden finger was created by him, and the pressure on him is naturally greater.” Silver said with a smile, “for followers like you and me, isn’t it the same to copy from different people? Don’t use your brain. There’s not much pressure. You can live for a long time.”
At this time, Xiao Hong’s eyebrows moved in the Virtualised reality. He said something in Zhou Yuan’s ear. Zhou Yuan looked at Xiao Hong doubtfully, but he did not speak.
“I see it!” Hao Ning also couldn’t help saying in the Virtualised reality, “these people’s gambling skills are obtained from Book Elf.”
“Isn’t that a bullshit? Otherwise, how could they have X-ray vision? ” Liu Shuai looked at these people looking back and forth for the label of the golden finger and laughed at Hao Ning. “Can you say something new?”
“Super Golden Finger got the ability from the original novel Book Elf.” Hao Ning said, ignoring Liu Shuai’s taunt and analyzing it carefully, “I don’t know why. Others can only get the copy version, so there are Super silver fingers, bronze fingers, ceramic fingers, Tang Sancai fingers, and health fingers. Because these stories are all copies, these plagiarism skills will be weak once the original is not available.”
“It makes sense! We have seen similar novels before. The original novels were copied so the writer lost temper and didn’t write anymore. Didn’t those copied novels lose the market, too? ” Liu Shuai nodded and said with a cold smile, “I didn’t expect it to be the same with these people! That’s why they’re in a hurry to get this man’s body back? But what can they do after taking it back? We have no way to save him. Do they have a way?”
“I see!” After hearing Liu Shuai’s words, Zhou Yuan suddenly understood Xiao Hong’s meaning. He praised Xiao Hong and said, “you are so amazing! These people are looking for this golden finger in a hurry, not to kill him but to save this original one!”
“That’s right.” Xiao Hong nodded. “That’s exactly what I mean. If that’s the case, we just need to know how they can save the golden finger. Doesn’t that mean we know how to save other patients in similar situation?”
Zhou Yuan nodded excitedly, “I know how to do it!” After saying that, he flicked a little light into the shroud. Because of the Virtualised reality, the two people didn’t find it at all. But the people with Hao Ning knew it clearly. Zhou Yuan put a Spiritual Flying Bug into the body of golden finger.
“I found it!” The silver opened the shroud, looked at it and cried, “that’s it!”
When bronze looked, he said with a smile, “that’s right! It’s him. It’s him. It’s him, our hero, little Nezha. It’s not right. It’s our golden finger.”
“You are too old to see the cartoon.” silver joked, carried this corpse, and said, “let’s go.”
“Big brother, how can we get out of here?” Bronze said with a wry smile, “it’s an easy thing for us two to come in. How can we carry a body and leave the hospital in front of everyone? Do you still want to be alive?”
“Well…” Silver pondered for a moment and said gloomily, “shall we use that? It’s very precious!”
“Mr. Yi will make it up to us.” said the bronze. “Hurry up. Those two are going to wake up.”
“Let’s go.” The silver took a small thing out of his pocket and threw it on the ground. A light ring just appeared in the air. They picked up the body and walked into the light ring. The light ring vanished immediately after that. There seemed to have nothing happened in the whole mortuary, but a body was missing.
Zhou Yuan moved to the Virtualised reality. Hao Ning and Liu Shuai were worried about the two people outside. They rushed out and Xiao Hong and Zhou Yuan followed.
As expected, they fell to the ground. It was strange that Yun was lying in front of Jienan. Shouldn’t Jienan be the hero to save the beauty?
Xiao Hong fanned in the air. Two breezes of hot winds entered from the nose of the two people, then fly out from the mouth and nose. The two gradually woke up. Yun woke up earlier and saw Jienan on the ground. “Brother Jienan, brother Jienan?” she said it with worry.
With Yun’s shaking, Jienan slowly woke up. The first sentence came out of him was, “Yun leave here quickly. It’s dangerous here!”
Just after finishing his words, he saw a man in front of him. He rushed to him and hit him with both fists. “Xiao Yun, run quickly. I’ll stop this villain first! I wish you find the one you love…”
“Find a sh*te, find it!” Just listening to the sound of “bang”, these two punches somehow hit Jienan’s own face, right on his eyes.
Jienan was unlucky. The figure he was fighting for is not someone else, but Hao Ning who was looking at him with concern. Hearing the nonsense of Jienan when he woke up, Hao Ning knew that he would think the two people were going to bully Yun. So, he didn’t stop Jienan from talking. In fact, he wanted Yun to hear the sincere words of Jienan when they were in danger. Otherwise, with Jienan’s character, when would he say the words in his heart to Yun? Unexpectedly, Jienan’s brain was not clear and began to punch him.
Although Hao Ning didn’t want to hurt Jienan, it was an emergency. He used “Stellar Transposition” to give back the punches of Jienan to himself. But Jienan threw the punch so fast and Hao Ning responded so quickly that everyone’s eyes were all in a flash, only to see that Jienan hit his own eyes.
“Have you lost your mind, Jienan?” Hao Ning was angry and smiling, and reminded, “isn’t Yun in front of you? What are you going to hit me for?”
“Brother Hao Ning?” Jienan was rubbing his eyes when he heard Hao Ning’s voice. He hurried to apologize. “I’m sorry. It just seemed…” saying that, he saw Yun with an anxious expression. He hurriedly looked at her nervously and asked, “Yun, are you okay? They didn’t hurt you, did they?”
“I’m fine and you?” Xiao Yun asked anxiously. Her eyes were red and unexpectedly burst into tears.
“Ah, don’t cry.” Jienan was stunned as soon as he saw Xiao Yun crying. “I’m ok. I’m ok. Why are you crying?”
“You tell me, what can I do if something happened to you…” Yun ran into Jienan’s arms and sobbed.
Suddenly, let alone Jienan at that moment, even Hao Ning was stunned. Wasn’t Yun not interested in Jienan? Why was she crying like this? Wasn’t it foolish to merry the hero as soon as he just saved beauty? Wasn’t the plot too dramatic, was it?
“Yun.” Jienan sighed that happiness came too soon. Thinking what Yun had just said to him, he frowned and sighed, “I’m not worth your tears. I don’t have anything in common with you.”
“You only like me now?” Yun hit Jienan straight on the chest with anger. “After getting me, you are just like those men. When you get tired of me, you will never talk to me again. We will never talk to each other for a lifetime. We will be an ordinary husband and wife who has no deep talks in our life? Just like my father who left my mother when they were so young…”
“Damn, this girl’s brain circuit is really… ” Hao Ning finally understood that maybe Xue Xiaoyun was really Xue Muhua’s child. And according to the description of Mr. Hu, she was likely to be the child Xue Muhua who had a woman when he was in University. Xue Muhua later committed suicide by practicing Qi Gong and having a nervous breakdown. Naturally, Yun had no father since she was a child. Maybe she saw her mother’s loneliness, and then she worried that she would go the same way as her parents went through in the future.
In this way, Yun doesn’t dislike Jienan. She was worried that she and Jienan had no common language. After the passion was gone, it would be flat through their lives. Jienan would leave her because she had no ideological exchange with him. Because of the fear of such things, she would rather not start the relationship. This was instinctive self-protection, but Jienan mistakenly thought Yun was totally uninterested in him. If it weren’t for the situation that Jienan saved her today, maybe the two people would have missed each other on this misunderstanding.
It was not that Hao Ning could think of so much at once. But because of Liu Shuai, Hao Ning had some understanding of such a single-parent family. Although Liu Shuai was outgoing, there was a corner of his heart that he wouldn’t let anyone touch it and he covered it very well. Wasn’t it the same with Yun?
“That’s not what you think! I like you, not something you like! ” Naturally, Jienan didn’t think so thoroughly as Hao Ning did. But he said seriously with his own heart, “if you need, I will learn whatever you like. If you like medicine and want to find someone who can talk with you about these, and have these common topics in your life, I will tell brother Zhang that I’ll quit my job now and go to a medical school to learn these things. I do think so. But you always do that to me. I don’t even have a chance to say these words to you…”
“Fool…” Xiao Yun cried for a while and smiled through tears. “How could medicine be so easy to learn?”
“Ah, you two.” said Hao Ning with a wry smile. “Since the misunderstanding between you has been solved, can you go to another place to fall in love? We are in a morgue right now…”
After being reminded by Hao Ning, many people thought the atmosphere here was strange. A couple of crazy lovers was even talking to each other in such a strange place. It was a coincidence. It was a wonderful work.
After that, Jienan and Yun blushed and helped each other up. Of course, because it was near the mortuary, mostly it was Yun helping Jienan who with black eyes. Looking at the scars and happiness on Jienan’s face, Hao Ning finally took a slow breath and patted Jienan on the shoulder. Jienan held Hao Ning’s hands tightly and said thank you. Hao Ning said in his heart that you didn’t need to thank me, either. If you didn’t misunderstand Liu Shuai’s interest in your Yun, that would be better.
Yun looked at Jienan’s injury carefully and found that it was only skin and flesh injury. Then she looked around and said, “what about these two? Did you beat him away?”
“This…” Hao Ning scratched his head and was trying to explain. Zhou Yuan quickly smiled and said, “misunderstandings, there are all misunderstandings. They thought their relative was here. But they didn’t find him, and they left. Maybe it is because you asked too much that they were so anxious to attack you. By the way, they even asked us to apologize to you when they left.”
Hao Ning looked at Zhou Yuan. The moment god who has Hui sword was so calm now when he was making up a lie. He even lamented that he was not as good as him in lying. But he had to admit that Zhou Yuan’s lie was the most appropriate one. He didn’t have to say all the truth. It’s better to let these two live in some “fake”.
“Sorry for what?” Jienan said happily with Yun in his arms. “If they can make Yun like me by beating me, I’d rather they beat me to death.”
“Nonsense!” Yun poked Jienan’s forehead. “Don’t think like that.”
“Well, can you two go up the stairs?” joked Hao Ning. “I’m afraid that you’re making out that the elevator can be disgusted by you two. It will be not good if it breaks down in the middle.”
When these people appeared in front of Mr. Hu and Zhang Dalong, they opened their eyes to the six people. First, Jienan and Yun, two people who had never been together, after going to the mortuary, suddenly, couldn’t be separated. The two people looked at each other with love. Then they looked at Liu Shuai and other people’s relaxed faces, which are not nervous and embarrassed about going to the mortuary just now. They were as relaxed as they were happy about something.
“You…” Zhang Dalong couldn’t understand it. He asked tentatively, “did you go to the morgue just now? Why do I feel like you went to heaven for a walk?”
