The souls of Xu Sanhan and the strong man disappeared.

At first, Chen Xian didn't notice this, and it wasn't until about an hour after Xu Sanhan and their death that Chen Xian gradually felt that something was not quite right.

The souls of both of them were gone.

According to common sense, after the complete cessation of human bodily functions, the soul will leave the body for a certain period of time, and thus become a spirit body in a broad sense, which is the so-called bardo body in religious theory.

Chen Xian, like most aliens, has a great degree of mutation in the eye tissue, in layman's terms, his naked eye can see yin and yang, so this kind of change from a living person to a bardo body, he has witnessed it many times, even if he has a good understanding of this change, and he is very clear about the approximate time required in this process.

As long as half an hour, as short as an instant, there will be no exceptions to this kind of thing, and it is also the consensus of the alien world.

That's the blame.

Last night, in order to ensure that there would be no "human witnesses" other than himself, Chen Xian deliberately guarded the corpses in the courtyard after Xu Sanhan and their deaths for a while, just waiting for the souls of the two people to leave the body, and then swallowed them cleanly.

In order to wait for the spirits of the two of them to come out, Chen Xian waited for a long time, but he couldn't see them until dawn.

"So..... The souls of those two men are really gone......" The old liar muttered on the other side of the phone, and he seemed to be quite puzzled by his tone, as if he did not expect this to happen.

"Are you sure?"

"Sure." Chen Xian replied, the expression on his face was a little strange, "When the logistics department came to do the autopsy, I also looked at it from the side, and the two corpses were indeed empty shells, and the souls were gone." ”

On the other end of the phone, the old liar couldn't help but fall silent after listening to Chen Xian's story.

Soul gone?

The old liar recalled with a confused face, that he and Wang Rebellion had been squatting on the roof of the old mansion last night, and that they had seen everything that had happened in the courtyard, so many details could be remembered now.

From beginning to end, the old liar and Wang Rebellion really didn't see Xu Sanhan's soul.

"Does the disappearance of their souls have anything to do with that evil weapon?" The old liar frowned and asked, "How are you sure?" ”

"Feeling."

Chen Xian couldn't help but scratch his head when he said this, and he also felt that his words were too metaphysical, because it was difficult to prove the truth of this speculation at present.

"I noticed that the blade was a little more moisturized than yesterday, as if I was full." Chen Xian muttered, his face was also full of doubts, "But it doesn't seem to be able to eat any spirit, the evil I met before, it was okay if I slashed so many knives, and in the end I gritted my teeth and swallowed it." ”

"Then you have a chance to try again later......" the old liar laughed maliciously.

"Try again?" Chen Xian was stunned for a moment, and asked him funny, "I can't find another person to kill, right?" ”

The old liar only laughed, and did not say anything.

"Anyway, I'm very satisfied with this evil weapon now, to be honest, Ge Ye, it always gives me a strange feeling, as if I have seen it in my previous life, it is very familiar."

Chen Xian said, holding a clean towel and carefully wiping the dishes and chopsticks.

The girl squatted next to Chen Xian at this time, watching him work with the same eyes as watching cartoons, her eyes were shining, and she didn't know what was going on in her head, so she didn't say a word.

"Familiar? Maybe you're thinking too much, right? The old liar smiled, but didn't care about Chen Xian's words, "I called you not only to ask you about last night, but also about one thing." ”

"One more thing? What's up? Chen Xian asked curiously.

"Didn't you ask me to help you get a permit? I've already written the materials on my side, but the problem is that there is one thing missing, so I haven't had time to hand them over yet. The old liar said helplessly.

Chen Xian frowned, and said in his heart, could there be a change in this matter?

"Ge Ye, what's missing?" Chen Xian asked tentatively.

"Name!" The old liar asked him angrily, "Can't you let me make up the name too?" ”

"Oh oh bad this ......"

Chen Xian put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, turned his head sideways and glanced at the stupid girl, his eyes became serious, and all kinds of names flashed in his mind.

Zhao Qiansun, Li Zhou, Wu Zheng, Wang ...... Which one should be better for her to choose? You can't follow my surname Chen, right?

But she was picked up by me, and it's okay to follow my surname, but the question is what should she call if her surname is Chen?

Chen Thirteen?

Chen: Hmm?

Chen Rice Bucket ...... No way...... It's a bit vulgar.......

The girl saw Chen Xian staring at her endlessly, her eyes became more and more curious, what was he looking at?

"Chen Xian!" The girl got up and approached Chen Xian, blinked her eyes, and asked curiously, "What's the ..... What's wrong? ”

"What do you want to call it?" Chen Xian covered the microphone with his hand and asked her tentatively.

The girl looked at him innocently, blinking without speaking.

"Count me in vain." Chen Xian sighed.

Suddenly, Chen Xian snorted in disgust.

Maybe she was too anxious to eat, and there were still a few grains of rice left in the girl's mouth, Chen Xian didn't notice it before, but now at this cold look, Chen Xian was uncomfortable, like seeing flies flying and circling on the cake.

Chen Xian hurriedly found a tissue to wipe her mouth, and while wiping her mouth, she nagged like an old mother: "You can't let me save some snacks if you eat!" ”

Coincidentally, just when Chen Xian was frowning and wiping the girl's mouth, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.

The girl's name is here!

"Ge Ye? Is it still there? ”

"Aren't you fucking bullshit?" The old liar was scolding on the phone, and he was very dissatisfied with Chen Xian suddenly opening his phone, "What are you doing?" ”

"I've got a name in mind."

Chen Xian repeatedly made sure that the girl's face was wiped clean, so he crumpled the used paper towel into a ball and threw it into the trash can next to the stove.

"What's it called?" The old liar asked.

"Mu He." When Chen Xian said this, his eyes kept rolling over the girl, and he only felt that there was no name more suitable for her, "The wood of the wood, the grass of the seedlings." ”

The old liar on the other side of the phone was silent for a while, as if wondering if there was something deep about the name, why did it sound familiar...... Seems to have heard it somewhere.

"You gave me the name?" The old liar was a little curious, and couldn't help but ask, "Does it have any special meaning?" ”

Chen Xian smiled and said that it didn't mean anything.

"OK, are you sure you won't change the name?"

"Well, don't change it."

"Then I'll hand over the information here, hey, it's really troublesome......."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xian put the mobile phone in his pocket, rolled up his sleeves and began to continue washing the dishes, turning his head to look at the girl from time to time, seeing that she was still staring at himself stupidly, the corners of Chen Xian's mouth inadvertently showed a light smile.

He once saw a strange plant in the ancient book "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

That plant grows on the top of Mount Kunlun and is the world's largest rice grain.

It's called Muhe.

"The void of Kunlun, eight hundred miles square, ten thousand miles high, and there are Mu He...... Since you like to eat rice so much, then you will be called Mu He in the future. ”

"Mu He?"

Hearing that the girl's pronunciation was quite standard, Chen Xian couldn't help laughing, and there was a little more tenderness in his eyes.

"That's right, Mu He."

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

Different from the warm atmosphere in Chen Xian's house, the atmosphere in the old liar's grocery store at this time was particularly dignified, and there was even a sense of tension.

The old crook is on the phone.

The old liars are also swearing.

"The surname is Zhou, why is it so hard for me to find you to do something!" The old liar took the mobile phone, put his feet on the counter in the front hall, looked like an old hooligan, and scolded the old man on the other side of the phone and said, "This is not for me to do things myself, but for Xiao Chen's rabbit cub!" ”

"I know." The old man on the other side of the phone sighed, "If it weren't for him, I would have hung up on you a long time ago, when will your mouth stop stink?" ”

If Chen Xian was present, he would definitely be able to hear that the old man on the other side of the phone was none other than Lao Zhou, his contact person in the Secret Bureau.

"You care about me." The old liar muttered, "You know Xiao Chen's temperament, he doesn't like to ask people to do things, and he doesn't like to owe favors, he has only asked me to buy things for so many years, and has not asked me to help him do anything else...... Lao Tzu finally has a chance to give love to his children, you won't give me face, right? ”

Lao Zhou sighed and felt a little headache: "I'll do my best." ”

"It's not a question of trying your best or not, you old thing has to get things done!" The old liar said angrily, "Chen Ba's old immortal can tell us before leaving, and this child will be entrusted to us in the future, and you have to give me some snacks about his affairs!" ”

"Where the hell did that girl come from?" Lao Zhou couldn't help but ask, his tone was full of unconcealable curiosity, "What is the relationship between her and Xiao Xian?" ”

The old liar smacked his lips and said, "I don't know about this, but the two of them have already lived together, guess for yourself." ”

"it!" Lao Zhou exclaimed, "Really? ”

"Don't you swear?" The old liar seemed to have caught Lao Zhou's handle, and smiled particularly insidiously, "You are a gentleman, you haven't scolded dirty words for so many years, and today is considered to be a broken ring?" ”

"Fuck off!" Lao Zhou scolded angrily, but suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and he lowered his voice very abruptly, "You pay more attention to Ningchuan, I heard from the people above that there is movement on the Xu family's side, especially the one next to the Xu family......"

As soon as the words fell, Lao Zhou paused slightly, as if he was phrasing.

"In addition to that, I heard an interesting thing."

"What's the matter?" The old liar asked, his brows furrowed, and his attention was still on the movements of the Xu family.

"The investigation department has been moving quite a lot in the past few days, and there seem to be a lot of job transfers, and I heard that the superiors are preparing to open branch departments in various second-tier cities in China, and the first sub-department test site is in Ningchuan." When Lao Zhou said this, his tone suddenly became meaningful.

"Maybe the next days will not be peaceful......."
