514 Secrets

"Huh? This is ......."
Tom inexplicably felt familiar, and at the same time had a strange feeling that this thing was ...... It seems to have a very close connection with him!
"It's a ghost warrior's weapon, but something has changed now."
Charlie spread out his palm, and the ball that he was holding floated out of thin air, not only that, but the originally tight ball also spread out a little inexplicably, and there was a fog that seemed to rise and fall regularly around the ball...... It's like breathing!
"It's ......"
Tom remembered something, and barely raised his right, which he had just managed, and placed it on his left chest, feeling the heartbeat in it.
Poof, poof, his heart beat slowly but powerfully, but at the same frequency as the fog spread by the sphere in front of him!
"That's right, it's connected to your heart." Charlie confirmed Tom's guess, "So I brought this thing back, I think you're probably going to need it." ”
Charlie reached out and grabbed the ball again, then took Tom's right hand and placed it in his hand.
Tom's face was a little complicated, and he didn't say anything first, but looked at the thing in his palm silently for a while, and then ...... He just stuffed it in his mouth and swallowed it in his stomach!
Charlie was a little surprised, but seeing that Tom didn't look uncomfortable, and there was no crazy expression on his face, he didn't stop it.
In fact, she already had some guesses in her heart, but it seemed that the truth might be even more outrageous than she guessed.
When Tom swallowed the ball completely, Tom, who was lying on the bed and could barely move, suddenly sat up.
Charlie took a slight step back, but did not leave the room, she still had the most basic trust in Tom.
"You guessed it, right?"
Tom glanced at Charlie, then lowered his head and began to undress himself.
Charlie didn't reply, just watched in silence as Tom undressed, but at some point, she already had the special scalpel in her hand.
In fact, she had some guesses before, and by the time Tom suddenly resumed his stuttering, or no longer concealed himself, she was already mentally prepared.
Tom wasn't who he said he was, at least, he wasn't that honest.
However, it is a fact that Tom saved her, so Charlie brought him back to see Tom's reasons and see his story.
It's a silly choice, but Charlie is somehow not worried about his life, and he doesn't know if he has enough faith in Tom or something else.
As if he hadn't seen Charlie's movements, Tom still had no defense to continue to take off that dress, and his tightly concealed outfit was no longer necessary, so naturally he didn't need to continue to wear it.
Slowly, Tom's bloated clothes that had slightly changed his body shape were taken off by him.
Charlie noticed that Tom's movements were smooth, and at some point, his injuries seemed to be almost healed.
This is far beyond the self-healing ability of an ordinary person, even the powerful body of an elite warrior will definitely not reach this level, which already seems to have a slight inhuman demeanor of the homeless man during the day.
Charlie thought to herself, but was not surprised, if her guess was true, I am afraid that Tom would be more than that.
Slowly, Tom had taken off only a long-sleeved T-shirt, but Tom still didn't stop his movements, but pulled up his neckline and was about to take off the dress.
But when the T-shirt was taken off, it was not Tom's shirtless (harmonious) strong flesh that was revealed, but a black close-fitting leather jacket.
"Sure enough......"
Looking at this strange close-fitting leather suit that looks like a superhero costume in the comics, Charlie has a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Looks like you've guessed something, so I don't have to explain it from the beginning."
At this time, Tom finally spoke again.
"yes, I did guess something, I don't think that's all about the ghost soldiers you talked about before, and there are even a lot of lies."
Tom looked up at Charlie, then looked down at his clothes, and after a moment of silence, he said, "...... A lie? Not really, but I did say something less to mislead you. ”
Charlie looked at him, waiting for Tom's statement, but Tom didn't explain it immediately, but explained the origin of the dress he was wearing now.
"The ghost soldier's combat uniform is actually divided into two pieces."
"One is the kind you see, the all-duplex special combat suit, which is not only waterproof and bulletproof, but also bulletproof, has a strong defense against sharp blades and impacts, and the main function is invisibility, which seems to be the origin of the name of the ghost soldier."
"As for the second piece, which is the 'underwear' on my body, it is a protective suit made of some unknown fiber."
"In addition to good breathability, this underwear protective suit looks almost without any advantages, not to mention bulletproof and knifeproof, even waterproof and fireproof can't do it, it can be said that it is completely inferior to the full duplex special combat suit outside in terms of basic performance, but in fact, this clothing is the real meaning of the ghost soldier."
"Because it's this piece of clothing that makes the ghost soldiers truly ghosts."
"Because, it protects the soul of the ghost soldier!"
Tom's eyes seemed to glow as he spoke, and his face flushed even more visibly, as if a fanatical believer were talking about the miracles of his God.
"You say...... Soul? ”
But Charlie frowned, as a brilliant surgeon, although she had also seen weirdness that could not be explained by science, and although she also had faith like most Westerners, but with her soul?
"Are you talking about the soul I guessed?"
Tom looked at Charlie and nodded affirmatively, "If you're thinking about the soul that leaves the body after death, then I want to say yes, that's what I'm talking about." ”
Looking at Tom's serious appearance, Charlie shrugged his shoulders speechlessly and said:
"Okay, okay, even if this thing can really protect the soul, then what's the use of it? Let the ghost soldiers really become ghosts after they die? ”
"That's right."
"Huh? What did you say? ”
Originally, it was just a joke, but Tom answered in the affirmative.
"I said you're right, this underwear is meant to give ghost soldiers a chance to become real ghosts after death."
"However, there are two other conditions for this."
"What is it?"
Charlie put aside his "prejudice" about the so-called soul for a while and focused on Tom's words.
"One is a helmet, or rather, you can't have that helmet."
"You should have also seen that the helmet will explode after the ghost soldier dies, and the soul is very fragile, especially when it is just dead, a little flame may evaporate the soul that has just left the body, let alone explode at a very close range."
"And the second one......"
Tom stood up and tapped his heart.
"That 'weapon' you just brought."
