Text: Chapter II: Notice of Death
In the midst of this chaotic scene, Luo Qiong saw coldly that on the street on the side, I don't know when there was an extra man. A man shrouded in darkness, he was so out of place with his surroundings. Although there is nothing wrong with dressing up, there is that kind of atmosphere that no one is allowed to enter, and the attitude of others to ignore him.
All of them show that this person is unusual.
Just as she looked at the man cautiously, suddenly, the other party raised his head: "It's really surprising, a new deceased like you who has been on duty in the underworld for a thousand years, like you...... It's the first time I've seen it. ”
Death, yes, she did.
But all of this, it's not critical right now. What really makes time freeze is the other party's eyes. The dark brown eyes with a hint of golden green, the eyes that appear again and again in dreams or hallucinations.
……
Although even Luo Qiong herself didn't know why, she just chased the man stupidly and didn't care about anything. When she didn't even understand her situation and the identity of the other party, she chased her straight and straight out.
Because of those eyes.
It's just because of the eyes that appear again and again in her dreams, or sudden hallucinations.
Those eyes that had harassed her for almost her entire life.
The two of them walked down the street one after the other, neither fast nor slow, neither slow enough to catch up with her, nor fast enough to leave her behind. In other words, it's like deliberate. Through body language, the man will follow me, and the message will be conveyed accurately. Of course, on the way forward, Luo Qiong tried more than once to attract the man's attention.
But very fine, after trying all the methods he could use, Luo Qiong shamefully failed. The man went on his own, completely ignoring the poor new dead who had chased him to the point of embarrassment. And Luo Qiong, on the other hand, has no way to deal with her current situation, she doesn't know that she can help herself if she can.
Because I was chasing too eagerly, I didn't notice that a piece of the floor tile of the crosswalk under my feet was protruding. With a hard kick, Luo Qiong kicked it defenselessly. The pain from such a blow to the thumb was heartbreaking.
She slammed to the ground, grinning in pain.
Rubbing his toes, stunned for two seconds, Luo Qiong reacted. Her current state of existence, because she doesn't know what noun to use to call her, so she uses the whole word of existence for the time being. All in all, she now has the characteristics of a spirit body, such as the fact that passers-by can't see her, or that she can pass through the bodies of passers-by. But it is not exactly a spirit body, such as running, she now runs at exactly the same speed as when she had a physical body, not only that, but also has physical limitations, and even fatigue.
On top of that, tripping over the tiles and causing pain are not in keeping with the undead. So she didn't know what to call herself now, and Luo Qiong felt that she was going crazy.
Rubbing his feet for a while, he noticed that the man in front of him seemed impatient, so he limped and began to pursue again.
The two made their way to a community hospital two blocks away, and through the transparent glass walls and portals, she could see that the hospital lobby was deserted, with few patients. Two patients who had just checked out from the pharmacy to pick up their medicine came head-on, Luo Qiong subconsciously avoided it, and when the two sides were about to stagger, she curiously reached out to touch the two people.
It wasn't until now that she realized that the spirit body similar to the ghost movie passed through her body, which didn't seem to be suitable to describe her current state, and more accurately, it should be described as fishing for the moon in water. Although the feeling was very faint, she could feel the presence of the other person, and her hand did not pass directly through the other person's body, but as if reaching into the water. After rippling out the ripples, stab it again.
Like, what she touched was not someone else's entity, but the reflection that the other person threw into the water.
In the lobby of the hospital, there are two one-man-tall fortune trees, passing by the potted plant. Because of curiosity, she reached out and touched it, and this time she caught it, the cold plant touch. In this way, her complete transparency is only for humans, and for other objects, such as plants, such as wall tiles, etc., there are physical beings.
Finally, advancing to the destination of this advance, outside the emergency room of the community hospital, Luo Qiong saw the man's side face.
He just stood there coldly, staring at the interior of the room meticulously.
Because he doesn't know how to get along with people, although he is an adult who has lived for twenty-six years, he has almost no chance to get along with people in Luo Qiong's past life. After a long time, she became unsociable, and although she had a slow pile of doubts in her stomach, she had neither the courage nor the ability to start. You can only focus your attention on the other person's focus.
Luo Qiong wanted to find a common topic between the two parties.
Inside the glass door appears to be the critical care room of a community hospital, surrounded by several crying people around the bedside with oxygen cylinders. It seems that someone has died, and it is a man who has just entered the prime of life. Luo Qiong saw him, right on the hospital bed, and the man's soul was floating upward. Because it was the first time I saw the soul of a human being detached......
No, witnessing the present progression of death for the first time, Luo Qiong's heart rose with fear. With a hissing gasp, he unconsciously pushed two steps in succession, and then covered his mouth with his hands. Don't forget, she's a spirit herself.
A spirit that appears to have just experienced death.
The man who had just died, standing there with a confused expression, watched his wife cry over his body. I stretched out my hand to touch this and pat that, but I couldn't touch any of them. He is already a dead person, and he can't do anything, even the smallest thing, for the living.
The doctors and nurses who announced that the rescue was ineffective withdrew from the ward with their instruments, and the moment the other party opened the door, the man and Luo Qiong walked in one after another.
At the moment when the glass door closed, Luo Qiong stretched out his hand and made a gesture of blocking.
Unlike what you might expect, although it has a very real touch, it can't stop the glass door from closing. Even, Luo Qiong's hand was pushed open by the glass door entirely, and she really couldn't stand the strange feeling of being able to feel it and how to travel through the past. In other words, although she is now a spirit-like being, she has no way to pass through the door directly like a ghost, and there is no way to open the door directly with her hands like a living person.
It's a terrible situation
In the room, the man in black respectfully saluted the middle-aged man who had just died: "I have worked hard for you in my past life, so leave the rest of the journey to me." At this point, stretch out one hand to guide the other person.
Although from the middle-aged man who had just died, Luo Qiong read questions like who you are, or where are you going to take me, and so on. But just like himself, the other party didn't ask a word, affected by a mysterious unknown factor, the other party didn't say a word, and was completely shocked like that. Then be as meek as a sheep and accept each other's guidance.
In the corner of the room, the man stretched out his hand, and a spot of light spilled from the ceiling. At first, there were only a few grains, but as time went on, more and more, and finally a whole light curtain formed like fireworks. With another wave of his hand, the light curtain condensed into an entity, which was an elevator, a circular structure, a bit like an external sightseeing elevator.
Luo Qiong's eyes widened in disbelief, and she covered her mouth with her hands to prevent herself from screaming.
I looked left and right, but fortunately no one noticed.
Bowing again, the man reached out to guide the deceased into the elevator, and the middle-aged man, who had just died, entered the elevator completely numbly, and then turned around. But the moment the elevator door closed, Luo Qiong read ten percent of the unwillingness and nostalgia on the other party's face.
In an instant, in the depths of her heart, a certain emotion surged like a flood beast. Completely uncontrollable, completely irrepressible, like all the depression and dissatisfaction of the past twenty-six years, all in this moment.
A middle-aged man who has reached the age of forty, has a wife and children, and does not want to die, so what about her who is just twenty-six years old?
While he was thinking, the man in black turned his head and glared at her. It felt like grabbing her and throwing her into the elevator, dealing with the middle-aged man at the same time. It's like a buy-one-get-one-free store discount.
Almost in a jumping position, she avoided the other's gaze. Fortunately, the other party did not take any further action, and he continued to pretend that she did not exist. Luo Qiong patted her chest and let her heart return to its place.
The man in black waved his hand again, closed the elevator door, and sent the deceased to Huangquan Road. At the moment when the elevator door closed, Luo Qiong read a clear expression on the deceased's face.
Like crying and laughing.
When he came back to his senses, the man in black had already walked to the door of the rescue room and was walking outside.
Luo Qiong shouted and chased after her, no matter what, she died like this, she was unwilling. You know, her life hasn't really started yet, and so far she hasn't even lived a day of her own, and she hasn't done a single thing that she is willing to do. Her entire twenty-six years were spent paying off her debts, which she had to pay because of her mother's birth. Debts that must be paid as a child. If she dies like this today, doesn't it mean that she will have nothing in her life?
How could she be willing to die like this, and just put an end to her whole life.
How willing she was.
……
Probably in the courtyard of the hospital, the man finally stopped moving forward, and in the face of the man who no longer ran away, but approached him step by step, Luo Qiong retreated in panic, wanting to escape. The scene of the other party sending people on the road just now is still vivid.
"Excuse me...... Excuse me, are you the messenger of the Netherworld......
In any case, the embarrassing and dangerous situation must be eliminated, and Luo Qiong does not understand that there are not many means.
Changing the subject, which had no skill at all, was the only thing she could think of at the moment.
Silence without negation is almost the meaning of agreement.
I don't know why, Luo Qiong suddenly said very brainlessly: "Excuse me...... I'm not dead yet, am I...... I'm still alive" Because of the confusion, her eyes rolled slightly, and when she saw the rooftop railing on the side, she slapped it violently, and then grinned in pain.
Raise your hand in the posture of a victor, "How can the undead touch the real thing, how can the undead have pain, I'm still alive, right?" "Look at each other with pitiful begging eyes, like a frightened little rabbit.
The man's voice was as dead as ever, "No, you are indeed dead...... and he took another step towards Luo Qiongbi, forcing her to step back further.
The panic in her heart made Luo Qiong's words stutter, "So...... You're here to pick me up, aren't you? ”
After a moment of silence, the man replied honestly, "No, I don't have you on my task list today, and I don't have you on the task list for the entire area. All in all, your destiny today is not death, you don't deserve to die. ”
It was only now that Luo Qiong really panicked, what did it mean, what did it mean. Since she shouldn't have died, why did she have an accident, and why did she become like this...... She remembered that the other party had just said that she was dead now...... Why did he die when he shouldn't have died, and he died so inexplicably.
In my heart, countless emotions are surging, and I am already dead to myself. Even when he has nightmares at night, he will call out to himself who is coming to death. At this moment, even she couldn't figure out why she was so excited,
Do you want to continue living? Do you still have nostalgia for life?
No, not at all. She's just unwilling, if she dies like this today, what is she, what is the point of her existence. Luo Qiong's tears fell like that, she cried like that, and even cried and cried and convulsed, at this moment she didn't know that her spirit body was violently twisted and deformed.
Because he was too excited, Luo Qiong is now facing the crisis of dissipating his spirit.
After sighing, the man spoke: "There will be accidents in everything, even if the Heavenly Dao is above, there are still accidents in the world. In the case of few to pitiful cases, because of certain contingencies, such as today's suicides. "Speaking of this, the tone is strong, and it can even be said that he is complaining." The birth, aging, sickness and death of human beings are all determined by God, which is the so-called fate. There is also a determination in the wealth and honor of human beings, which is the so-called karma. But why would someone not even obey the mandate of heaven, when the time comes, she will naturally die, and we will take her away. Those who die early will fall into the ...... of vain death"
As if aware of his speech, he stopped his thoughts.
"How can this be," Luo Qiong shouted violently, "the person who should not have died is dead...... You're lying, aren't you, I'm not dead yet, are you? "She's not reconciled, she's really unwilling, if she dies like this.
So, what is left of her life except pain and unbearable.
grabbed Luo Qiong and dragged him forward......
