My mind was blank, but I reflexively raised the white long sword in my hand, and with a ding, I suddenly let go of the black long sword in my right hand, and my left hand rose violently, holding the black long sword, and with the sword in my hand, I swiped it down.

With a bang, I looked at it in amazement, this attack beyond ordinary people's thinking, a large cut was made in the chest, and the blood did not flow out, but black.

"What exactly do you want?"

I yelled, and in the face of the golden eyes, I had to hold the white sword hard, resisting his attacks again and again.

In my head, I was constantly thinking about what he was asking, my instinct, and I had no clue at all.

"In your understanding, what are people, and what are ghosts, answer me."

I immediately held the white sword with both hands, and with a ding, blocked his attack, however, to my surprise, I looked at it in amazement, lying with both hands, and the white sword in front of me was cut open.

With golden eyes, the black sword in my hand slashed at me again, this time, from my left shoulder, and I bounced off the tremendous force and fell to the ground in black and white.

There was not the slightest sound, and I didn't feel any pain in my body, and it was very quiet all around, and there was no sound at all, and I came over again with golden eyes.

"Tell me, Zhang Qingyuan, what is a human being and what is a ghost?"

I smiled slightly, and gradually realized what I wanted to ask me with my golden eyes.

"People are people, ghosts are ghosts, people are humane, and ghosts have ghosts." I replied, whew, the golden eyes flashed next to me, wisps of black smoke, on his body, emanating, he was short, a sword slashed, I stared blankly, the black long sword, slashed at me.

Subconsciously, I raised the white long sword that was broken, only half of which remained, and with a ding, blocked his attack.

"So, let me ask you again, are you a human or a ghost?"

"Finally asked?" I smiled and yelled.

"Of course it's people."

With my roar, the white long sword that had been broken was restored little by little, and I struggled to push the sword over, and I flew out backwards with golden eyes, and then on the ground, after sliding for a distance, with a ding, the black long sword was inserted into the ground and stopped.

"Let me ask you again, what are you who are human beings and use the power of ghosts?"

"I am who I am, Zhang Qingyuan, and you are just a part of who I am."

Suddenly, the golden-eyed me laughed loudly, and a smile appeared on his cold face, and he stood up.

"People are people, ghosts are ghosts, and now, you are human, and I am a ghost......"

I with golden eyes, as soon as the words fell, suddenly, I saw that a stream of black air, from under his feet, continued to entangle him, wrapping him whole, black him, at this time only exposed two golden eyes.

"Obviously you are a human, but you want to use the power of ghosts, Zhang Qingyuan, are you too greedy......"

I raised the white sword, this time, I took the initiative to rush over, and I also realized that in my mind, a memory came out, little by little, those memories that were sealed in the cage and sealed in my heart, opened.

My head buzzed, and pictures appeared in my mind.

That was what I had been through before I went to that orphanage.

When I was young, I roamed the city like a mouse, coming out at night and hiding during the day, and I was just five years old and didn't know anything.

Whether it is a human or a ghost, I don't want to get close to them, these two diametrically opposed, one yin and one yang, but they complement each other, I don't want to contact, I don't want to understand, I am estranged, I am afraid of them.

However, perhaps as fate would have it, I met the director of the orphanage, an amiable old woman, who took me to the orphanage, surrounded by completely abandoned houses.

It's more than ten kilometers away from the city, but it's been deserted, and I don't know why I followed her, I just want to see what people are.

The heart was full of fear, but it was full of strong wishes, hoping to get a little closer, people turned out to be warm, for the first time, walked so far, to the old woman, pulled, step by step back to the orphanage.

For the first time, I came into contact with people, and after a while, I gradually learned the language, and the old woman began to teach us to read again, and I didn't understand why she had to take in so many children.

And it was at that time that I learned about the ghost in the children's rumors, this abandoned town, which used to be a mine, because of years of mining, the minerals were exhausted, and gradually, the edge was deserted.

Not only can I see it, but the children in the orphanage, more or less, will see some at night, and I am afraid in my heart, ghosts, some of them will come out from time to time to be scary.

The director of the orphanage, every day, will teach me a lot of things alone, as a human being, the most basic common sense, sometimes, even say some ghost things, this time, I remember it clearly.

"Those things are ghosts, ghosts eat people, they are enemies of people, you have to remember, if you encounter ghosts in the future, run away."

This is the most profound sentence in my memory, all of this makes my heart full of confusion, why the director of the orphanage, would tell me this, a book of ghosts, the most basic things, and why would she understand.

Gradually, I became the same as the other children in the orphanage, and I communicated more with them, laughing when I was happy and crying when I was sad.

With a ding, the white long sword in my hand blocked me with golden eyes, and in an instant, all around, those black and white places, black parts, rolled up and came towards me.

"Choose, Zhang Qingyuan, are you a human or a ghost?"

The world around us, the white parts, little by little, are dyed black, and the white parts are gradually disappearing.

Creaking, me and his sword, black and white, intertwined, not giving in to each other.

"Answer me, Zhang Qingyuan, are you a human or a ghost?"

I smiled slightly, and suddenly, I let go of the white long sword in my hand, and with a bang, the black long sword pierced into my chest, and my whole body was dyed black little by little.

"Really? Have you finally made the right choice? ”

"No, it's not what you think it is." I muttered, and the black qi on my body dissipated, revealing a surprised face, and the pair of golden eyes looked at me incredulously.

With a clang, the white sword plunged into the ground, and I looked at the face exactly like my own, as if I had seen an old, yellowed photograph.

In the past, I was extremely afraid of ghosts and hated ghosts, but at this time, I finally understood and understood, what is a human being and what is a ghost.

In the same way, people live to survive, and ghosts are the same, in order to survive, the two images I just saw, instead of newborns, become human ghosts.

As a ghost, but revealing that as a mother, for the sake of the child, overflowing tears, for the sake of the child, do your best, not a simple obsession, resentment, but survival, exist in this world, you must survive, the attachment to life, the fear of death.

People laugh, and ghosts, too, are two completely opposite things, but they have the same look, the same thoughts, and the same heart.

Everything in front of me, half white, half black, I smiled, holding the black sword in my left hand, and the white sword in my right hand.

"Ghosts are the same as people, I have a lot of friends, there are ghosts, there are people, they are all the same, everything before, I'm really sorry, you also realized it."

A tear flowed out of my eyes, and I let go of my hand with golden eyes, and retreated step by step to the black place, and I was standing at the junction of black and white.

"I've been afraid, in my body, the part that is a ghost, I'm very scared, I don't want to admit it, I don't want to face it, I keep rejecting the fact that I'm a human being, but I'm a ghost."

"Really?"

I said in a dull voice, and I nodded.

"There must be, such a path, a path where people and ghosts can live in peace."

"Ridiculous, Zhang Qingyuan, do you want to say that people and ghosts can not distinguish between boundaries and each other?"

I shook my head.

"No matter what, I want to move forward on this path, not just what you have given me."

"No matter what thorns are on this road?"

"Ah, no matter what thorns are on this road."

I held a black sword in my left hand and a white sword in my right hand, and the two swords, little by little, seemed to melt into the palm of my hand.

"So, let me ask again, what is your instinct?"

I smiled easily, the answer, at this time, has already jumped into my heart, I have crossed a lot again and again, all kinds of people and ghosts, I have seen, man-eating ghosts, I have also seen, ghost-like people.

I used to naively think that there is a big difference between ghosts and people, people have warmth, ghosts also have, I have felt more than once, these things, I slowly raised my head, looked at me with golden eyes, and said in a firm tone.

"My instinct is called the ...... of coexistence"
