Lin Hai sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at the new photo on the desktop of his mobile phone, in the photo, two people were touching their heads next to each other, and both of them had warm and satisfied smiles on their faces, which looked very compatible.

This photo was taken in the garden downstairs of Ye Xuexin's residence, according to Ye Xuexin, this photo is not an ordinary photo, but a talisman, which will block a lot of unnecessary trouble for her and Lin Hai, Lin Hai did not comment on this.

Now, Lin Hai and Ye Xuexin are nominal boyfriend and girlfriend, of course, in Ye Xuexin's words, if you want to become a regular, you still need to understand and recognize each other, at this stage, it should be the initial stage of love, and Lin Hai deeply admires Ye Xuexin's policy level.

In fact, during the more than half a year that he lived with Ye Xuexin in the dungeon, Lin Hai still knew that Ye Xuexin still knew that Ye Xuexin was far smarter than she showed, although Lin Hai also figured out whether Ye Xuexin in the copy represented Ye Xuexin's future or was just a possibility.

But through today's contact, Lin Hai believes that Ye Xuexin in reality seems to be smarter than in the copy, and her emotional intelligence has been greatly improved, and she can even keenly discover her mood fluctuations, and then react appropriately, sometimes with a little petite, or a slightly colored pun, she cleverly adjusts the scene to the pace she wants, so that the atmosphere between the two is always very pleasant.

Lin Hai didn't hate Ye Xuexin's intelligence and understanding, or should he say he liked it very much, and even Lin Hai felt that if Ye Xuexin had such a high emotional intelligence in the dungeon, maybe many of the conflicts that had happened in the past could be resolved, and he wouldn't even let himself have that kind of suspicion at all.

Of course, this is just Lin Hai's feeling, if you only consider it from the logic of time, Lin Hai's conclusion is obviously a paradox, how can it be that Ye Xuexin is smarter now than in the future?

Ye Xuexin's appearance and performance is undoubtedly an extremely important turning point for Lin Hai, but although Lin Hai's emotions are difficult to calm down now, he must calm himself down and put aside the emotional matter first, and before another more important matter is resolved, Lin Hai can only be Ye Xuexin's nominal boyfriend.

Patting his cheek vigorously and throwing the phone screen aside, Lin Hai closed his eyes and called Reisuke on the little finger of his left hand, and a very illusory interface opened in his mind.

Lin Hai noticed at the dinner that the soul strength displayed on the Lingjie interface was originally 9 (primary unawakened), but now it is 10 (primary unawakened), although he didn't understand what this number meant, but it was obvious that this was definitely not a bad thing.

And the other change is the most important soul energy points that the black cat said, at the beginning, Lin Hai had 15 soul energy points, and after being fooled by the black cat to look at the soul garden once, there were 14 points left, and then a connection was made, after the connection was successful, Lin Hai saw that there were still 4 soul energy points left, that is to say, a connection needs to consume ten soul energy.

And now there is only 1 soul energy left, this is definitely sad news, as for where the three soul energy points went, Lin Hai has two guesses, one is that the connection is disconnected and the soul energy needs to be consumed, and the other may be that he is in a wrong state after returning from the dungeon, so he consumes soul energy to protect his brain, or should he say to protect the soul.

All in all, the situation is very bad now, because at this point the soul energy point can do almost nothing, Lin Hai does not dare to consume it easily, according to the guide given by the black cat, once the soul energy point in the reisuke is completely zero, if it is not recharged in time for a period of time, the reisuke will lose the power to maintain his own existence and dissipate.

In fact, from another point of view, if Reisuke dissipates on his own, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Lin Hai, and the dissipation of Reisuke means that this strange thing is over, and Lin Hai will return to a harmonious daily life, return to the track of his past fate, and continue to move in an unknown direction, just like other ordinary people living in this rental house.

However, Lin Hai was reluctant to choose this ending, especially after he experienced a parallel world himself, Lin Hai felt that he could not return to the heartless days in the past.

Even if it is not for himself, Lin Hai must also plan for Ye Xuexin, if he still refuses to change and does not seek improvement as before, then what awaits the two of them will be another tragic tragedy? This possibility is still very high.

The option of giving up Reisuke was naturally erased by Lin Hai, and there was only one option left, that is, to seize this opportunity, not only to change his fate, or to change his soul, but at the same time, Lin Hai was also very yearning for the world that the black cat said, and he really wanted to see it.

So, should I contact Mr. Black Cat Lake next?

Lin Hai looked at Lingjie's realistic communication interface, this interface was also very clean, there was only a thumbnail of a black cat and the words Mr. Lake, but Lin Hai stared at it for a long time, and he still didn't make up his mind, because Lin Hai didn't know the black cat's attitude towards him at all now.

Lin Hai's IQ is barely sixty, no, one hundred and ten, but this does not prevent Lin Hai from discovering many problems from his own experience.

For example, it's been so long since I've been back, why hasn't the black cat taken the initiative to contact me? Doesn't he want to know if he's done what he's hired for? Or did he already know about his situation, and he was kicked back before he even started his work?

In fact, the problem is not only that, going back up this question, Lin Hai found that the black cat didn't seem to expect to be able to complete the work from the beginning, which can be found from the perfunctory attitude of the black cat, and the fact that he didn't even explain the content of the work carefully, it seems that the black cat found his purpose to go to the dungeon was to send people's heads.

If Lin Hai's somewhat tragic guess is true, then it is easy for the black cat to explain if he does not contact himself, according to this inference, the black cat should be very unkind to see himself now, no liar likes to see the deceived object, not to mention that Lin Hai was still deceived to send people thousands of miles away.

So instead of wasting the last soul energy point to find the black cat that was hiding from him, Lin Hai should think about what way to increase the soul energy points, or consider contacting the aliens other than the black cat, no, there are also earthlings who have been developed by aliens, of course, this kind of thing is very slim, even less than looking for a needle in a haystack.

After thinking about it, Lin Hai found that the only thing he could do now was to try to understand what was going on with the soul first, and then see if he could increase the soul energy points, if the soul strength could be increased, the soul energy points should also be possible, the black cat had mentioned that soul energy was actually soul energy, if the soul strength increased, then would the soul energy be there?

Having made up his mind, Lin Hai opened his eyes and turned off Reisuke's interface, grabbed his phone and searched for content about souls on the Internet.

The room was quiet, the slightly pale LED lights were steadily emitting light, the background noise of the city was coming from the closed windows, and the various noises made by the surrounding neighbors, but these did not affect the serious Lin Hai, and time passed quickly unconsciously.

When Lin Hai woke up from his busyness, his neck was already stiff, and when he looked at the time on his phone, he found that it was already more than twelve o'clock unconsciously, and there was a WeChat reminder sign on the prompt bar, Lin Hai clicked on it and looked at it, it turned out that Ye Xuexin sent him to say goodnight, but it was more than an hour ago, Lin Hai didn't even remember that he had replied with a good night, Ye Xuexin finally sent a cute rabbit who was asleep, and Lin Hai did not reply.

According to the collection of these few hours, the topics about the soul that can be found on the Internet are roughly divided into two parts, one is the scientific part, although there are many opinions in this part, and even some contradict each other, but they are generally the phenomenon of cellular activity of the human soul relying on the existence of the brain.

The other is the metaphysical part, this part is more exciting, all kinds of sayings, the brain hole can fit the entire universe, but the more mainstream religions believe that the soul is independent, Taoism even believes that the soul can be strengthened, and there are also some branches of Buddhism that advocate soul strengthening, such as Tantra.

There are also some more primitive sects that also emphasize the independence and growth of the soul, but the way they talk about strengthening the soul is a bit strange.

In general, the scientific view basically denies the fact that the soul is independent and outside of the body, that is, it is impossible for Lin Hai to follow this direction, because it turns out that this direction is wrong, or that the science of the earth has not really understood the soul.

Although the direction of metaphysics does not seem to be very reliable, at least the people on the other side admit the existence of the soul, and no matter how bad the general direction is, it is correct, among which the more systematic exposition of strengthening the soul is only Taoism and Tantra, as for the various religions abroad Lin Hai is not interested, this is not only the conclusion of rational analysis, but also because Lin Hai has always believed that foreign religions are all cults.

After a big turn, sure enough, it is still the things left by the ancestors, Lin Hai pondered for a while, and found that he had a feeling that he didn't know where to start, the classics of Taoism and Buddhism can be described as sweating cows, what is useful to himself? What really uplifts the soul?

No one can give Lin Hai the answers to these questions, and sure enough, self-taught or something is not something that a person with an IQ like Lin Hai can do, so he still has to find a teacher!

Originally, going out to travel was an excuse that Lin Hai found casually, but now it seems to be a prophecy.

However, it is not so easy to go out and visit the famous mountains to find masters, although Lin Hai also wants to go, but what about work? How is the money raised? How did Ye Xuexin explain, how did his parents explain, wait, wait, Lin Hai couldn't help but think carefully before acting.
