Chapter 14: The Soul
A steady stream of cold power continued to seep into the soul body along the ground under his feet, and the hot feeling in Ren Wu's body gradually eased.
"Idealism?" Ren Wu rubbed his ass and looked at the building above his head.
This is the only explanation, the soul body is actually able to pass through any wall, and I didn't fall directly to the bottom when I first crossed over because I subconsciously thought I was a living person when I first crossed over.
So I walked through the floor like a living person.
When I finally realized the identity of my soul, I simply walked through the door, when I subconsciously realized that there was no difference between the concrete floor and the wall under my feet...... I just fell.
So all of this is actually my subconscious, and when I subconsciously think that I "should" and "can", I do that.
So this is the power of the soul body?
Ren Wu is very strange. It was the first time he had experienced an out-of-body experience.
It's a very novel feeling, like a cat that lives on land when it wakes up and finds that it can breathe freely underwater like a fish.
"Then I should go upstairs now......"
Not. Ren Wu suddenly realized that something was wrong.
1、2、3、4......
Why did so many people suddenly appear in the room!?
Looking at the "people" standing in the room densely, Ren Wu's Adam's apple squirmed, habitually wanting to find a sword or a substitute for a sword.
But he was very depressed and realized that he was now a soul, and even if he put a peerless sword in front of him, he would not be able to pick it up.
"You're new here, aren't you? Don't be afraid, we're all just like you. An old man closest to Ren Wu grinned, the teeth in his mouth were almost gone, the wrinkles on his face were almost the same as tree bark, and the bare head had a few sparse white hairs, and his complexion was pale and not like a living person.
"Are you old and dead?" Ren Wu squeezed out a sentence after being silent.
"Hehe, I don't remember, it's about six or seven days, and there is no calendar in this broken room, so I'm too lazy 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!" said a fleshy little boy next to him, raising his chin.
"What is there to be proud of...... You little brat. A young ghost dyed in red, yellow and blue next to him was speechless,
As if some kind of conversation box had been opened, the "people" in the room spoke one after another.
"I've had six days since I fell from the fifth floor and died. ”
"I'm two floors more than you. ”
"I've been gone for almost five days, I'm a winter swimmer with a cramp...... these ghosts are all from before they were alive, and they don't look scary.
"I ...... I haven't seen my mom in two days. "The pigtailed girl standing in the corner was facing the wall.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
Some "people" sat on the table in a decadent manner, losing the interest in speaking.
Others squatted on the ground and sobbed quietly.
"Hey. The old man sighed and shook his head, among these "people" he was the oldest, he had seen a lot of joys and sorrows, and he was mentally prepared for this day.
"Everyone misses their families, and after seven days, we'll be gone, and so will you. The old man whispered.
"Will it disappear? How will it disappear?"
"It's like a dandelion. The old man said.
Before Ren Wu could think about how his soul was like a dandelion, he heard footsteps from outside the door, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer.
The ghosts in the morgue raised their heads and looked at the door together, some of them with anticipation in their eyes.
The door of the morgue was pushed open, and the old man in the white coat walked in front without squinting.
He was followed by three men, two older adult men, and a graceful lady with a handkerchief and wiping her tears.
"Mom!" shouted the braided girl who had been thinking about the wall in the corner just now, and rushed over to hug the woman.
But the body staggered directly through the woman, and she staggered forward two steps, and the flickering of the body became more illusory.
"Woo... O my poor daughter. The old man pulled the cupboard open, and a pair of small white feet peeked out from under the white cloth. The woman turned her head and her tears could not stop falling.
The pigtail girl was sluggish because no one reacted no matter how much she shouted.
All the living people are as if they are deaf, and it is as if she has been abandoned by the whole world.
"If your family is still in the hospital, you should go to see them twice, you may not see them in a few days~" The old man said with a sigh.
"What about your family?" Ren Wu asked.
"My wife and son left two years before me, and I knew that she had been waiting for me in such a cold place for seven days, so I should have come down early to accompany her, so that she would not be alone on the road. The old man sighed deeply.
The topic was a bit heavy, and Ren Wu didn't know how to pick it up.
He found that the ghosts in this world were a little different from the ghosts he imagined.
Rather than ghosts, they are a group of travelers who have ended their journey in this world and are waiting in the waiting hall for the next train.
"Then I'll go up first. Ren Wu said.
"Well, spend more time with your family, we can just spend a day with us now. The old man smiled and waved his hand at Ren Wu.
Returning to the ward, Ren Wu found that his wife, who had been resting on the edge of the bed, had woken up and was making up in the bathroom, her eyes were red, and there were undried tears at the corners of her eyes.
When he came to the hospital bed, he leaned down and kissed her husband's forehead, and the phone in his wife's bag rang at the right time, and the wife left in a hurry after answering the phone.
The sun sets, and the moon rises.
All that remained in the room was the slow, steady sound of the instruments.
Ren Wu tried all kinds of methods but couldn't wake up, if only he could learn the ability of the soul class.
Ren Wu could only give up in despair.
If you can't wake up, then how to complete this task.
The time ratio between this world and the main world is also 1:300, which is enough time.
When my parents really wanted to ask, they said that they had been in the suture club for two days.
The question is......
I heard from other souls that they could only exist for 7 days, after which they would disappear into the world.
Ren Wu, who has not yet witnessed the disappearance scene, always has a layer of haze in his heart.
Returning to the morgue in the evening, Ren Wu felt that the atmosphere in the morgue was a little wrong.
"What's wrong?" Ren Wu asked the old man secretly.
The old man glanced at Ren Wu and smiled.
"The time is almost up. ”
It didn't take long for Ren Wu to witness with his own eyes how ghosts disappeared from this world.
It's like a piece of a puzzle that has been put together and disappears into thin air little by little.
The next day, the old man left with a hint of hope and a hint of relief.
On the third day, the fleshy little boy walked with his little fists clenched.
The little girl with the pigtails never saw her mother again, and on the fourth day she stood in the corner and quietly spread out like a dandelion.
