Whether there is such a thing as a soul in the world, and if so, where does a person go after death, two questions that have been debated since ancient times, almost everyone will think of them, but there has never been an accurate answer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But in Avaranga, everyone will tell you in a very positive tone that there are really souls in the world, most of the souls will dissipate naturally within a period of time, a small number of souls are strong enough to suppress dissipation, and there is willpower, that is, the so-called obsession strong enough individuals will remain, and the best of them can even survive after death more than ordinary wizards, and the longest recorded soul has existed for more than four hundred years.

When a person dies, his soul will continue to wander around the place of his death until a few days later he will die out completely, or because of his obsession and strength, he will become a pestle in the city that has stood there for hundreds of years, and only the Dead Whisperer can see the background wall.

Everyone will express their condolences and regrets to the deceased, even the enemy, no matter what happened to him, that person is dead, so it is all over, and even the person who hates that person the most will say two good words.

It would have been a strange spectacle of people talking to the deceased and sighing for them, all of which were directly with the deceased himself.

The reason I'm telling you this is because Albert and Cecilia are standing at the gates of an abandoned soul sanctuary that must have been inhabited by many souls, but are now abandoned.

The untended lawn and flower beds were overgrown with weeds, low shrubs had taken root and grown tenaciously, the stone statue at the doorway had been damaged, only a pedestal and two legs were missing, the fountain had stopped working, but some of the runes were still intact, Albert tried to instill some magic into it, and the fountain was very face-saving with a few sprays of water, and then it was restored.

They walked to the gate, the stone gate has turned into a broken stone that collapsed on both sides of the door, and a lot of vines, weeds, and a small tree have grown on its surface.

The relief of a snake biting its own tail, forming a perfect ring, is engraved above the door, it symbolizes the cycle of death and rebirth, meaning the cycle of yin and yang, this is the so-called Ouroboros, and in general, only funeral homes and soul shelters will carve this kind of thing.

"Seriously, we're really going in?" she felt a little uneasy, but still wanted to stay outside, "Isn't that weird, why do we have to drill into such a place?" "In that case, you can stay outside and I'll go in and find your way." As he spoke, he raised his hand to point to the sun in the sky, "It's almost setting, and I guess it's going to be a bit difficult to find a house in the future, so we can stay here for one night for the time being." ”

"Well, I'd better go in with you. She showed off her racial symbol, and in this state her perception would be much better enough to deal with unexpected situations, "Just stay here for one night." ”

Albert's mental power swept over, he looked back at the winding mountain road, the messy bushes, hummed a song and walked into the door, Cecilia also walked in, grabbed his hand, walked very carefully, kept looking around, but fortunately, it was safe inside, only the empty hall, the spacious, the corridor that led to nowhere, and some paintings that could not be seen because of the corrosion of nature.

They all turned on the [Dead Whisperer], which is commonly known as the Spiritual Vision, but they didn't see those things, after all, reality is not a horror movie, when watching horror movies, we often see a woods/mountain hut, it seems to have been abandoned for a long time, it is still very empty and quiet, eerie and ancient, and the protagonists suddenly have a mysterious IQ offline, and they plan to go in and find out unprepared.

The two of them don't have the IQ to go offline, as wizards, they are fully prepared, just with mental power and soul strength, those so-called dirty things can't move them even if they are really malicious.

Under the scan of mental power, all the items were in one column, there were all kinds of dusty furniture inside, and the walls of some rooms were obviously damaged but not much, he decided to rest in this hall for one night today, as long as he cleaned up the dust in the hall.

Then he heard a low cry, it was she who was screaming, her eyes were closed, her mental power was still scanning, as if she had seen something terrible, and she took two steps back slightly unconsciously.

"What do you see, are you scared to be like this? You're not the same as you are now. Albert pressed one hand on his shoulder and released a [forced calm] on it, "Why are you so timid all of a sudden?" "Skeleton, I saw two skeletons... "Don't worry, it's not a big deal, I saw it too, there's nothing moving here except us, so the skeleton won't get up on its own, right?"

Of course he also saw it, this [soul shelter] is not big, his mental power scan can cover it, and the two skeletons are lying in the corridor to the left of the hall, but he doesn't care, after all, there are no souls here, and they are all dying at some point.

As the name suggests, the Soul Shelter is dedicated to the reception of the deceased, and it also provides a variety of services for the deceased, including the fulfillment of wishes, the division of the estate according to the wishes of the deceased, and the notification of the family when the soul is about to completely dissipate, and the send-off for the second and most complete death.

"Let's not spend the night here, right?" she looked back, "We don't need to sleep anyway, and we can cook while walking, right?"

Cecilia still didn't want to spend the night in a building that was once the abode of countless souls, she wasn't afraid of ghosts anymore, but she didn't want to be near those things either, and she was right, they didn't need to sleep, and cooking could be done while walking.

"Well, you really don't want to stay here, so let's leave, and it's a good thing to speed up the trip anyway. He tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Don't you think it's ridiculous to be afraid of ghosts as a wizard, and if I become a ghost one day, you won't be afraid of me, right?" "That's different! And I'm not afraid of ghosts, I'm just scared!" "Okay, okay, it's different, let's go." ”

There are many similar abandoned buildings, most of them were built more than 300 years ago, at that time many cities had not been built, some people lived in the mountains, so there were these buildings, and then slowly everyone moved away, in many of the wilderness, you can also find some huts or something.

Her fear of ghosts has diminished a lot, but what makes Albert feel powerless is that she still subconsciously wants to stay away from ghosts.

In the distance, a slight dragon roar was heard, which meant that the dragons had finished repairing, and it seemed that the dragons were also planning to rush to the night like them, but they were heading in the opposite direction.
