Chapter 14 Soul
A steady stream of cold force continued to seep into the soul body along the ground under his feet, and the hot feeling in Ren Wu's body gradually eased.
"Is it ideal?" Ren Wu rubbed his butt and looked at the building above his head.
Only this explanation is that the soul body can actually pass through any wall. When I first came over, I didn’t fall directly to the bottom because when I first came over, I subconsciously thought I was a living person.
So I walk on the floor like a living person.
When I finally realized the identity of my soul, I simply walked out. When I subconsciously realized that there was actually no difference between the concrete floor and the wall under my feet... I fell down.
So all of this is actually my subconscious mind. When I subconsciously think that I "should" and "can", I did this.
So this is the power of the soul body?
Ren Wu is very strange. This is the first time he has experienced the feeling of leaving the body.
This feeling is very novel, like a cat living on land. When it wakes up and finds that it can breathe freely under the water like a fish, what wonderful chemical reaction will happen?
"Then I should go upstairs now..."
Well, Ren Wu suddenly realized something was wrong.
1,2,3,4...
Why are there so many people suddenly appearing in the room?
Looking at the "people" standing in the room, Ren Wu's Adam's apple squirmed, and he habitually wanted to find a sword or a replacement for the sword.
But he woke up in frustration that he was now a soul, and even if he put a peerless sword in front of him, he could not hold it up.
"Are you new here? Don't be afraid, we are all the same people as you." An old man who was closest to Ren Wu grinned. His teeth in his mouth were almost gone, the wrinkles on his face were almost the same as tree bark, and a few sparse white hairs on his bare head, and his skin was blue and white, not like a living person.
"Are you dead too?" Ren Wu squeezed out a sentence after he was silent.
"Hehe, I don't remember it. It's been about six or seven days. There is no calendar in this broken room, so I don't want to remember the time." The old man shook his head, and Ren Wu was worried that he might throw his head away.
"I've been dead for five days!" A chubby little boy next to him raised his chin and said proudly.
"What's there to be proud of...you little brat." A young ghost next to him was speechless,
As if some kind of talk was opened, the "people" in the room spoke one after another.
"I've been six days ago, I fell down from the fifth floor and fell to death."
"I'm two more floors than you."
"I've been leaving for almost five days. I'm in Dongyan's foot cramps..." These ghosts all looked like they were in their lifetime, and they didn't look scary.
"I...I haven't seen my mother in two days." The girl braided in the corner was hanging down with the wall.
The room suddenly became quiet.
Some "people" sit decadently on the table and lose interest in speaking.
Some "people" squatted on the ground and sobbed quietly.
"Oh." The old man sighed and shook his head. Among these "people", he is the oldest. He has seen so many joys and sorrows, and he is mentally prepared for this day.
"Everyone misses his family. In just seven days, we will disappear, and so do you." The old man whispered.
"It will disappear? How can it disappear?"
"Like a dandelion." said the old man.
Before Ren Wu could think about why his soul was like a dandelion, he could hear the footsteps coming from outside the door, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
The ghosts in the morgue raised their heads and looked at the gate together, and some of them showed expectations in their eyes.
The gate of the morgue was pushed open, and the old man in a white coat walked in front without looking squinted.
Three people followed him, two older adult men, and a graceful lady holding a handkerchief that kept wiping her tears.
"Mom!" The girl with braids who had thought about the wall in the corner just now shouted in surprise, rushing over quickly to hug the woman.
But the body passed directly through the woman and staggered forward for two steps, and the flickering body became even more illusory.
"Woo...my poor daughter." The old man pulled open the corpse cabinet, and his pale little feet appeared under the white cloth. The woman stopped her head and couldn't stop crying.
The girl with braids was dull because no one responded no matter how she shouted.
All living people are like deaf, and she seems to be abandoned by the whole world.
"If your family is still in the hospital, you can go and see them twice. You may not see them in a few days~" the old man said sighingly.
"Where is your family?" Ren Wu asked.
"My old woman left two years before me. I knew she had been waiting for me in such a cold place for seven days. I should have come down early to accompany her, so as not to be alone on the road alone." The old man sighed deeply.
The topic is a bit heavy, and Ren Wu doesn't know how to answer it.
He found that the ghosts in this world were a little different from the ghosts he imagined.
Rather than saying they are a group of travelers who have ended their journey to this world and are waiting for the next train in the waiting hall.
"Then I'll go up first." Ren Wu said.
"Well, spend more time with your family, we can spend one day with you now." The old man waved to Ren Wu with a smile.
When he returned to the ward, Ren Wu found that his wife, who had been taking a nap on the edge of the hospital bed, had woken up and was putting on makeup in the bathroom. Her eyes were red and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
When I came to the hospital bed, I bent down and kissed my husband's forehead. The phone in my wife's bag rang at the right time. After answering the phone, my wife left hurriedly.
The sun sets in the west and the moon rises.
Only the slow and steady sound of the instruments remained in the ward.
Ren Wu tried various methods and could not wake up. It would be great if he could learn the abilities of the soul.
Ren Wu could only give up dejectedly.
If you cannot wake up, how can you complete this task?
The time ratio between this world and the main world is also 1:300, which is enough in time.
If my parents really ask, they say that they have been in the stitching club for two days.
The problem is...
I heard from other souls that they can only exist for 7 days, and they will disappear into the world after 7 days.
Ren Wu, who hadn't witnessed the disappearing scene with his own eyes, always had a layer of haze in his heart.
When he returned to the morgue at night, Ren Wu felt something was wrong in the morgue.
"What's wrong?" Ren Wu secretly asked the old man.
The old man glanced at Ren Wu and smiled.
"Time is coming soon."
Not long after, Ren Wu witnessed with his own eyes how ghosts disappeared from this world.
It was like a piece of assembling puzzle was broken up and disappeared into the air bit by bit.
The next day, the old man left with a hint of hope and a hint of relief.
On the third day, the chubby little boy walked away with his little fists clenched.
