Chapter 68: Shredded Soul (1st Update)
I stood on the street and thought about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with the logic of this secret, even if I had borrowed the brains of various palace fighting dramas and spy war dramas, I still couldn't guess how I, a person who had never crossed paths with Ji Ling, became his enemy.
From time to time, there are men and women in the Ji family on the street, they are very familiar with each other, and they will greet each other when they meet.
When they saw me as an outsider, their expressions were a little strange, and most of the young people younger than me cast their eyes curious and puzzled, while those who were older than me had undisguised disdain and disgust in their eyes, and some even carried hatred.
Those who despise and dislike are probably those who know my background, it seems that Huangjialing suffered a disaster eighteen years ago. It did a great deal of harm to their family, otherwise they wouldn't have done this to me.
I don't have a penchant for being a monkey being watched, so I want to find a place to be quiet, but it's not easy to go back to my father's house behind me, and I'm not familiar with other places in Huangjialing. Where is it to be pure?
I walked aimlessly, and after walking a short distance, I saw a small clinic, and the fat aunt who was in charge of taking care of Yuan Ling yesterday was busy.
My heart moved, and I walked in: "Auntie." Yuan Ling, how is she? Are you awake? β
The fat aunt had just finished the bones for a bear child, and when she raised her head and saw that it was me, she immediately smiled: "Ji Zang is here, find a place to sit first, I'll rub some medicine and wine on this bear child, and it's over." β
As soon as I sat down on the chair, the fat aunt over there wiped the medicine and wine for the bear child, and after letting him leave, she walked over: "I haven't lived at home for more than ten years, so I'm not used to it." β
I smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer, so I had to divert the topic and say, "Lingling, how is she?" β
"I'm still asleep, I haven't woken up, the little girl is too frightened, she is unstable, I called her last night, I woke up for a while, and continued to sleep, maybe the loss is too great." The fat aunt said with a smile.
Calling the soul is a method spread by the northern folk, the child's soul will lose his soul when he is frightened, he has been in a coma, he has a high fever and does not wake up, it is useless to take medicine and injections, only his relatives or goddess shout his name to let him go home, so that he can wake up.
Adults rarely have this kind of soul loss symptoms, unless they have experienced extreme fear, and it is not something that relatives can call back casually, and it is necessary for the goddess to spend mana.
Because adults are not as pure as children, children will come back immediately when they hear the shouts of their parents, but adults have a lot of distracting thoughts, and it is difficult for the soul to call back - in fact, this is also consistent with reality, children are inseparable from their parents, and when they grow up, many people will be annoyed by their parents, and a few are willing to listen to nagging?
I know this, and it's also because there was an adult in Xiashan Village who went up the mountain and lost his soul, and the godmother helped him call the soul.
I knew that the fat aunt must have spent a lot of effort to help Yuan Ling call her soul, and I immediately said gratefully: "Thank you, auntie." β
The fat aunt waved her hand: "It's all a family." Be polite to me. β
After the business was finished, there was suddenly no topic, I had the heart to ask about Huang Jialing's situation, but I felt that I couldn't get an answer even if I asked, and it was even more embarrassing to be rejected, as for the rest, there was nothing to talk about at all.
What's even more embarrassing is that the clinic of the fat aunt's house is run by her two daughters in their twenties, and I am a young man who sits here without seeing a doctor, which seems a little weird.
Before saying goodbye and leaving, I forcibly chatted awkwardly: "Aren't we all masters in Huangjialing?" Still need injections and medicine? β
The fat aunt smiled: "It is true that you can cure the disease with magic, but you can take medicine and injections to cure it, why bother so much?" It's still necessary to believe in science. β
Trust the science!
God believes in science!
What kind of world is this, those outside who claim to be engaged in science in the media, and are engaged in feudal superstition every day, here are obviously engaged in metaphysics, but they are really advocating science, and the world seems to be completely upside down.
I remembered the paper on chaos theory that I saw in my father's study, and then I saw the fat aunt's determined expression of believing in science. I only felt a trance for a while.
When I was in a trance, I found that I had unconsciously walked to the little hotel in the town, and I thought that there was really nowhere to go, and it was better to stay in the hotel than to be a monkey on the road.
It's still the female front desk. It's a little strange to see me, I said I want to open a room, I don't have any money on me, can I owe it first, but the female front desk said that the hotel never charges money.
This is strange. If you don't charge money for opening a hotel, what's the point of opening it?
Even if it's Huangjialing's own industry, you don't need rent or anything, and you always have to pay for cleaning bed sheets, right? How does this hotel survive?
I suddenly thought of the ghost restaurant across the street, and compared to the fact that the hotel didn't charge for anything. I seemed to have found something in my heart, but when I thought about it, I couldn't catch any traces.
"Is it still 53?" The female receptionist asked.
I was going to say a different one, but when I thought of the weirdly broken glass mirror, the ghost nodded in a hurry. Perhaps, in that room, I can find some clues.
There was no change in the room, I went to the bathroom to see, and the glass mirror was still broken. No one came to clean it up, and when he pulled out a piece of glass again, he could cut his hand, but it quickly turned into ashes and disappeared.
Everything was still so weird, and the range hood at the ghost restaurant across the street was still whirring. There are still no customers coming to the door.
I watched for another morning, and the weird was still weird, but I still couldn't find any clues to solve the mysteries.
At noon, the female front desk helped me order a takeout, which was delivered from the opposite restaurant, and it was the first time I saw someone from the opposite restaurant coming out. Seriously, when I got the lunch, I was worried about whether there would be any problems with the meal, but it tasted like a normal boxed lunch, and the craftsmanship was not bad.
Eaten. I no longer had the interest to observe, and sent a text message to Yuan Ling, but there was still no reply, I guessed that she hadn't woken up yet, and she was a little sleepy after dinner, so I decided to lie in bed and take a nap.
I soon fell asleep, but in a daze, I felt as if there was one more person around me, a woman. She gently massaged my arm with her fingers, making me feel very comfortable.
I thought it was Yuan Ling. said, "You're here, do you feel better?" β
The other party didn't answer, and I was suspicious in my heart, when the other party suddenly spoke: "Ji Zang, I see that you are living a very leisurely life." β
It was the voice of the female corpse. My hairs stood on end, and I tried to get up, but I couldn't move.
"Shhhh Don't be afraid, I'm not here to find you this time, I don't want to do anything to you. Just to remind you that the ritual they are going to give you will actually kill you. β
Kill me? You're the one who really wants my life, right? I won't believe you corpse demon anymore. I said to myself.
"Ji Zang, I know you don't believe me, let's see. Let me tell you, the imprint of the flower on the other side is not so simple, as long as it is imprinted on the soul, it will take root and sprout, if you want to remove it, you have to pull out all the root systems, your soul is full of the roots of the flower on the other side, if you want to forcibly remove it, it is equivalent to cutting your soul into minced meat, think about it, do you still have a chance to live? β
I couldn't help but shudder, if it was really as the female corpse said, this ritual really wanted my life, no wonder my father urged me to flee when he first saw me.
However, the corpse demon deliberately took the risk to warn me. For what? She doesn't have any good intentions.
The female corpse seemed to know my intentions, and continued: "I really don't have any good intentions, because you are the shell of my choice, and if the Ji family performs a ritual, it will destroy your soul. Their bodies will be cremated as well, and I won't be able to get a shell, so of course I'm not happy. β
Speaking of this, the female corpse paused and continued: "So, you better escape quickly, come and become my shell, I can promise you, when I devour your soul, let you retain your consciousness, you can live in my sea of consciousness, beautiful food, gold jewelry, everything that mortals want, I can give you." β
Then, the scene in front of me changed, and I was already in a luxury villa, with several big stars lying next to me that could only be seen on TV.
"Master Ji, you are so powerful, we sisters have to come together to accompany you, or we won't have the strength to go to the set tomorrow."
Seeing the former goddess serve me like this, my heart pounded uncontrollablyβmy heart moved.
Doesn't that seem like a good life?
