Chapter Twenty-Three: The "Ghosts" of "Us"

Is it dazzling? Why is Iris here?

"Welcome, welcome to our space, Mr. Hua Ge, we have been watching you." She was dressed in a sleek expedition suit, as she had been when we first met, proud and mysterious.

He hesitated, looking around..... The secret room again? He was obviously in the hall in the last second, but in the blink of an eye, he was back in this secret room!

But this secret room looked different from what she had seen before, except for a wordless tablet beside her, there were large and small tablets scattered on the altar floor, and she actually sat on the altar of this secret room, with her hands clasped around her chest, and looked at him with a smile on Erlang's legs.

It was an act of utter disrespect to the deceased, giving him an urge to pull her up from the altar. But I don't know why she looks very different, giving people an extremely complex and hidden feeling, which makes people afraid to approach easily.

It could never be Iris: "Who the hell are you?" How did I get here? ”

She didn't care about his questioning of her at all, picked up the wordless tablet beside her, and played with it in her hand: "Let's introduce ourselves, we are a collection of the energy left by the deceased generations of the Dongmu family...... It can also be said to be the soul of the Dongmu family, you can call us Dongmu...... We are this space, and this space is who we are. "Her use of the first person is very different, and she keeps using the plural.

"Are you saying that what I'm seeing in front of me is actually... A clump of ...... A combination of ghosts? He glared in disbelief, reached out and nudged her tentatively, but her touch ...... But it's extremely real, not like a ghost.

She let him push her, completely unmoved, as if nothing happened: "Senses, images... It's your brain that gives it to you, and we have no concrete or physical space. Everything in front of you comes from your brain's imagination. And the people and things you can see in this space are all hints that you want to see, or that make it easy for you to understand. We can also sometimes show you some of the memories that remain of our energy. ”

"Imagine it myself? How can it be! I don't think that much about that woman! At this point, he knew he was really duplicitous.

I've been thinking about Iris a lot lately, and he's been beginning to doubt his abilities since he came into contact with these visions. From the last case to this trip to Dongmu County, his IQ was completely crushed... He often thought that maybe the high-IQ Iris and Duan Lei were more suitable for the captain's position than him......

She seemed to know everything he was thinking, and reached out to hand him the wordless tablet...... He also unconsciously took the tablet, and a person's name gradually appeared on it like a special effect...."Hua Ge"...... It turned out to be his name, and he was so shocked that the tablet almost shook off his hand!

"This tablet is a symbol, a symbol of the soul and death......" she took back the tablet from his hand, just as she said, different souls touched the tablet, and different names would appear...... and the surname "Tomu" flashed the moment she took it......

"I... He's dead? "It's a strange place, it's a strange and terrible nightmare.

Like a museum guide, she explained: "The soul is a kind of energy composition, and through the body's memory, emotions and other intangible factors, an energy can be radiated to exist in the body's container. It forms a creature with a complete soul. If a person does not have this spiritual energy in his body, he will become deranged...... This is what people often call madness. ”

He nodded first, then shook his head...... At this point he was convinced that this was not a dream that he could have, because he could not have such a long-winded dream that he could not understand.

She sighed: "To put it simply, we think of a person as a bottle of water, the body is the bottle, the energy is the water, and the spiritual energy leaving the body is like water leaving a closed container and will soon evaporate. Without spiritual energy, it is equivalent to losing the soul...... Our Dongmu family is the opposite, the soul is the container, and the body is the water, and we are wrapping the body with the soul. If the soul is scattered, the body will disappear...... Dongmu's spiritual ability is a special case. Psionic energy should have dissipated into space with the opening of the container. But we don't, we created this space! ”

He seemed to understand a little: "What about me?" Why am I here? “

She smiled mysteriously; "You... Very special...... The presence of your name on the tablet indicates that you are close to death, but your soul is complete. If it were like the few people who accidentally broke in before, your soul should have been absorbed by us a long time ago, and even if the residual spiritual energy returned to the body, there was no guarantee that there would be no interference and confusion between the spiritual energy......"

Is this a compliment? Should he be proud? Particularly? He was just an ordinary soldier, and if it weren't for Iris's blood, he would have died of a brain tumor...... Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that he is always unable to let go of his "life-saving benefactor".

"All those missing people have been here before?"

He began to understand why those people had lost their souls in a madness. But there were still many things he wanted to ask, but at this time, he saw the female ghost who called herself "us" open the curtain of the altar behind him.

It seemed to be bright behind the curtain, the light was too dazzling to see anything clearly, and she beckoned to him: "If you want to find the answer, you have to experience it yourself." In this way, you will know why the Dongmu family is so different, there is a memory of our space behind this curtain, as long as you are in the past, you will step on the tunnel of time and space to experience what we have experienced. ”

He knew that the moment to prove his self-worth was just around the corner, and although he didn't seem to know if there would be any danger, wasn't his job to explore? He didn't have much knowledge of science, and personal experience seemed like the best way to go!

Stepping over the altar with one foot, he looked at it without hesitation.

Suddenly! In front of him, the grass and green land, the sun was also dazzling, and he was sitting under the tree at this time, and according to the sunshine, it seemed to be noon.

Did he fall asleep under this tree? Is everything just now true? But the body is very restrained, and it feels like the armor is very heavy.

When he got up, the clothes on his body were rubbing against each other, and he looked down to see that he was really wearing armor, which seemed to be a samurai costume......

He was stunned and pinched his face...... It hurts!! This hand is also rough......

"How? Let you feel it for yourself!! That's where the story begins......"

It was the self-proclaimed "our ghost" like Iris who was leaning against the tree behind him, looking him up and down.

"This? Is this your memory? Memories of ghosts? He felt like it wasn't like a memory at all, but like he was going through it, and everything in front of him was too real. Even the scent of grass in the air is so real.

"How so? Since you say that you have experienced it yourself, of course you have experienced it, and even your memory is what you have to experience......" She lowered her head and plucked a grass in her mouth, playfully holding it in her mouth, and looked at him with a wicked smile.

"What do you mean?" He reached out in horror to look at the pair of rough thugs, who were not his.

"We forgot to tell you that some energies can be unconstrained by time and space, which is why the pastors of the Tomaki family can know the past and the future through us. Because your soul energy is too strong, you can reside in this body while keeping your spiritual energy intact! So... You are this person now......" she said easily, but Hua Ge was completely blindfolded at this time......

"You mean I crossed over? What year is it? "Question! He admired that he could ask these words so calmly at this time!

"Oh yes you have crossed over, it's May 13, 1612......"

This time is too precise!! More than 400 years ago?!

"What am I going to do now?" He was a little panicked, who is the owner of this body? What the hell is he doing here?!

"You know the rules of crossing, you must ensure that history is not destroyed....."

She pointed to a piece of wood on the ground where he had been sleeping and said, "Why don't you hurry up and sharpen this piece of peach wood into a sword...... You're already late, or you won't be able to catch up in a while!"

"Catch up with what?" He didn't know what to do, so he listened to the ghost's instructions, took a dagger from himself, and began to make it, hoping not to miss or delay the progress of history.

"Of course it's a duel!" She just watched from the sidelines, not helping at all.........

"Duel!! And with whom!! "The kung fu of sharpening the sword, he hurried up and asked himself what he was going to face first!

"With Kojiro Sasaki~ You are now the invincible and famous Miyamoto Musashi~~"

Miyamoto Musashi?! Well...... This man sounds familiar...... I think I've heard it somewhere...... Belch...... If only Iris, the archaeologist, were here!
