Chapter 1 Growth

In the distance, on the top of a towering building, a figure appeared on the edge of the top floor. The night breeze messed up her hair, and her light blue pajamas danced with it, vaguely outlining her thin body. She stood there, embracing the roar of the night, as if enjoying the invasion of loneliness and loneliness. Her eyes were gray, like a manipulated puppet. Suddenly, she leapt and disappeared into the gray night.

"Ah!!h An Qing was so frightened that she sat up from the bed all of a sudden. I don't know how many times, An Qing always has dreams like this, so real that she is terrified. She hugged herself tightly, steady her heartbeat, but she was still full of questions, and she always didn't know why she always dreamed like this. What exactly does this have to do with yourself? …… Maybe she was thinking too much, she smiled bitterly, lay down again, and gradually fell asleep again.

I remember when she was eight years old. That night, An Qing's father was in the study, she quietly opened the door of the study and walked to her father's side, and when her father saw An Qing, he smiled kindly and hugged her to his lap.

"Dad, what is this?" She gestured to a picture on the table.

"Hehe, good daughter, do you believe in souls?" Her father touched her head.

An Qing pouted and shook her head.

Actually, each of us is in harmony with the soul, but it is likely that you will never feel its existence. It's like you're with your legs, you're used to it, and you don't feel anything special under normal circumstances, because you're already one. But either way, it's a part of you. ”

An Qing nodded as if she didn't understand. The father looked at An Qing's expression and laughed.

"Lao An! What are you teasing your daughter for, really. It's time to sleep. With that, her mother took An Qing back to the house to sleep. An Qing secretly turned her head, looked at her father with his hands, and smiled.

One eats, one sleeps, one walks, one plays. Ann has long forgotten where this started, maybe a few years ago? 8 years? Or 7 years ago? Before I knew it, time had passed, along with my loved ones. It's so real, it's so fake, it's like acting. Perhaps it was from the beginning of her own world that Ann found a new way to express herself. Every early in the morning, before she was fully dressed and washed, she sat on the table in the hall, quietly, enjoying the fresh calm, and releasing the chaos in her heart with poetry.

Dark Hope

A point of light curled up in the darkness

vestige

Diffuse odors

Across the shadows of oblivion

Indulge in the illusion of fabrication

The idea is so familiar to the gaze

It was as if the power of the pause had disappeared

It's just a glimmer of the past

It hurts like a knife

Killed all the desperate sorrows

The naked body of the ** next to the bed

The lines are getting clearer as the early hours of the morning approach

It's so sharply described

Angular

Snow has already begun to fall in the north in December, and the ground is already covered with a layer of snow, which crunches when stepped on.

"Hey! ~" A hand rested on Ann's shoulder.

"Oh, hehe, morning, Ayako." Ann smiled politely when she saw her.

Ayako is a student who has just transferred here this semester. Now that they are in their third year of high school, Ayako must go back to the high school where her household registration is located to adapt in advance and prepare for the college entrance examination.

"Hey, at the same table. How do you comb your ponytail? So good-looking. Ayako stared at Ann's hair.

"Hehe, I'll help you comb it another day." Ann said with a smile.

"Then we're decided!"

"Hmm."

When I was in school, time always passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the morning passed. And in the third year of high school, which is intense in study, this is even more reflected. An Qing has been studying hard, even more so after the third year of high school, and her ranking has always fluctuated in the top two of the school year. She has no choice, she has to study hard to get out of her current situation, if she gets the top prize in the city, according to the teaching reward regulations, she is very likely to get a university grant. This is quite important to her. Because she now has almost nothing. She didn't know what was waiting for her in front of her, she only knew that the only way was all she had.

At noon, An Qing and Ayako had lunch together.

"Oops! An Qing, how can you always eat these nutrients! Look at you, you're already skinny! Ayako looked at An Qing's box lunch, just a little rice, and a little vegetables. Ayako kept putting the braised pork she brought into An Qing's lunch box.

"Enough, enough. Thank you, Ayako. An Qing blocked her lunch box with her hand. An Qing is really grateful to her, and they have been on good terms since they became table mates. Ayako's personality is very cheerful, which infects An Qing and makes her feel the love between friends.

"Smack!!" An Qing's lunch box was beaten to the ground, and the food was scattered all over the ground.

"Look at your poor sourness! Do you eat pig food? I ask you? An Qing trembled, she didn't know if she was angry or afraid. Still sitting on the stool.

"Wang Jiao! Don't you think you're excessive? Always! Ayako said angrily that she was just about to stand up when she was pressed down by Wang Jiao's two friends.

"Excessive? It's her who is excessive, right?? What are you like! Also seduces other people's boyfriends. Say I'm excessive? Okay, I'll let you know what's excessive. He said, "Smack! Wang Jiao slapped An Qing in the face.

"Stop!!" As soon as Qi Kai entered the class, he saw this scene. He rushed forward and stood in front of An Qing.

In fact, almost the entire grade knows that Qi Kai and Wang Jiao have been together since the beginning of high school, and they are model students in the eyes of all teachers, because their grades are very outstanding. The teacher didn't care about them talking about their friends. However, later, Wang Jiao's grades got worse and worse, and she was separated from the excellent class. From their dispute, it can be felt that Wang Jiao is becoming more and more paranoid, probably because the sense of distance makes her afraid.

"What? Got your new girlfriend in mind? I've heard people say that you always give her courtesy, secretly escort her after school, and help her make up for it...... What study materials cost. Wang Jiao said. Qi Kai was indeed curious about this girl. Her background, her personality, everything about her made him want to know so much. Both of them have been in the top two of the school year, no match for each other, and third place is a far cry from their results.

Wang Jiao's words made Ann feel overwhelmed, she had never known these things. The messy hair on his forehead, the quarrel in his ears, so unbearable, so harsh.

An Qing's heart was extremely upset. She had no idea that she would provoke such a thing. Is it also my own fault? It's also a fault to keep to yourself, so what's right? All she could think about was trying to finish her studies and find her direction in life. That's all. Life was already difficult for her, she was miserable and helpless. She didn't want to stay here and listen to them arguing. After An Qing silently packed her schoolbag, she got up and prepared to go home to review.

"What are you pretending to be pitiful! Still gone?? Saying that, Wang Jiao pushed violently, and it was too late for Qi Kai to react. With this sudden push, An Qing was defenseless, fell to the ground on the spot, and hit her head on the steps of the podium, and blood suddenly gushed out.

"An Qing!!" Ayako was so frightened that she cried, she blamed herself for only arguing with Wang Jiao and forgetting An Qing. Wang Jiao also panicked, she didn't expect that she would push her with so much force, and immediately fled with her two friends.

An Qing's consciousness began to blur, and she saw Ayako's tears falling down her face one by one. Looking at the shape of her mouth, it seems to be saying something. But An Qing couldn't hear it......

"Ayako! Kombat 120! With that, Qi Kai tore his shirt and bandaged An Qing.

"Huh? Oh! Good. Ayako was suddenly woken up by Qi Kai's words and took out her mobile phone.

……

Where's this? An Qing looked around, she floated above the city, and at this moment she felt so relaxed, as if all feelings were gone, and her whole body had become translucent. She looked at the glass of the building next to her, slowly drifting closer, and her silhouette gradually became clearer. She looked at her dark eyes, which were so deep, but she had no other facial features. She touched her cheek, and panic set in. She could feel her own shouts, the traces that echoed in her heart. Even her heartbeat and breathing were gone.

Suddenly, a voice appeared in his head.

"What? Not used to it? Let me eat your soul. Another "person" similar to her, out of nowhere, floated directly behind her, talking hungrily. An Qing could see clearly on the reflected mirror, and froze. Then, a mouth gradually appeared in the mouth of the "person", from one side to the other, like the sound of paper being torn, which made An Qing shudder. Seeing that mouth gradually opened, she didn't know what to do. Trembling, she could only close her eyes......

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the hospital, and it turned out that it had been another dream. She saw Qi Kai, who was asleep on his stomach next to him. I don't know why he did that before, though? Is it pity for her? She doesn't need to. However, it is still grateful that he sent himself to the hospital.

The morning sun is like a warm current, flowing wantonly, slowly, as if time has slowed down. Little by little, she was submerged in the sea of sunshine, which may be the happiest thing for her now.

Almost a month has passed since that incident. Life is still the same, but Wang Jiao has made less trouble with her. Even if she was like that to An Qing, what could she do? She's only been demerit once.

Time flies really fast, it's unbelievably fast. This month, her monthly exam results are not very good, her ranking has dropped a lot, and lately, she has always felt a tingling pain in the back of her neck like an electric shock. Today it was even worse, and the pain was so bad that it felt like her head was going to explode.

finally endured the end of class, and she immediately went to the head teacher to ask for leave. I really can't go to the afternoon class. Ayako was also very distressed and suggested that she go to the doctor, although An Qing verbally agreed, but in fact she didn't go to the doctor at all, in order to save money, she just took some painkiller tablets. But it didn't work at all, and the intermittent headaches in the back of the neck continued. Seeing An Qing's current state, Qi Kai took all the responsibility on himself. Her condition was already very bad, but he made her like this, and it hurt his heart to see her thin figure walking out of the class, but he could only watch her leave.

"Let's finish the work of my uncle's house in advance today, so that I can go home early and rest." An Qing thought to herself.

Before she knew it, she arrived at her uncle's house, and after her parents left her, her uncle kept blaming her parents. kept saying that her father killed her eldest brother. But what is the truth? She had no way of knowing, only that she was later kicked out of the house, and then the uncle moved in, and all their property was transferred to him by the uncle under the pretext of "guardian". Now he lives in their dilapidated house. Because the tuition fee is provided by her uncle, she has to do housework for them every day after school. She knew in her heart, but she didn't think it was necessary. She also knows that maybe it's her own cowardice, right?

"An Qing is here? Not bad! I knew that I didn't come a few days ago, so I came early today. Then hurry up and get to work, clean up once and clean up again! He said viciously.

In fact, he was more concerned about the family property that his eldest brother had mentioned to him, saying that An Qing's father, that is, his second brother, had taken away all the property. And he was obsessed with this matter, and he had no clue at all, because his father left suddenly, and he didn't leave any will. Later, he proposed to go to the court to sue the second brother, but was rejected by the eldest brother. He still hasn't received any property, and what makes him even more angry is that everything is mysterious, and he feels like he's being kept in the dark.

An Qing has to clean up the whole house from the inside out every day. Originally, she ate less at noon, but now she is doing so much work, her physical strength is overdrawn, and she is sweating. She got up and straightened her waist, and just as she was about to clean up for the third time, her body was uncontrollable and she passed out directly to the ground. When the old aunt saw it, she hurriedly helped her to the bed. My aunt has always been very kind to her and is a very kind woman. But she had no choice but to listen to her husband's orders, and she couldn't have children, which made her feel that she had no right to speak. Every time he said two more words in distress, he would say, "This is our family's business, you don't have to be nosy." ”

Before leaving, the old aunt secretly gave An Qing some money and wanted her to buy some food. Today she is already very weak, and she will definitely not be able to cook when she goes back. An Qing couldn't resist the old aunt, so she still accepted it. She didn't know how she got home, like a walking corpse, she picked up two mouthfuls of leftovers, didn't take off her shoes, and threw herself directly on the bed. Thankfully, the tingling in the back of her neck had only happened once, otherwise she really wouldn't have known how she would have managed to clean up the house twice.

The sunset shone in through the window. Bright, purplish-red, painted white walls, harsh light, warm and comfortable. Because I know that it is short and beautiful, and after it is gone, there are only memories left. So, now that the answer is so clear, why not enjoy the stinging of the moment, which makes the tears all the more natural.

"Ah!!!h An Qing woke up in her sleep in pain. She couldn't bear the pain, and when she wanted to get up and go to the bathroom, her right leg seemed to be paralyzed, and she fell to the ground at once, unable to exert herself at all, and became bloodless, like the color of a corpse. Suddenly, she felt that this "paralysis" was spreading rapidly.

"Don't move! Obedient! A pair of translucent hands grabbed the back of her neck.

"It's going to hurt, hold back." She suddenly grabbed the back of An Qing's neck, and then made a sound like glass shattering, but she couldn't see what was falling on the ground. Scattered and sporadic puffs of black smoke evaporated from the ground and then vanished.

An Qing's pain disappeared instantly, and she regained sensation in her right leg. As soon as she turned her head, she was stunned. There was no one behind her at all. But she still noticed that the man's voice was similar to the one she remembered for her deceased grandmother. In an instant, she floated to An Qing's face, whispered some words, and then flew away through the window.

An Qing barely slept this night, and the voice in her heart was indeed grandma's, and it was the same as the dream that night, and she heard the voice in the same way. What the hell is going on. It's all a dream, right? Is that really the case? Reality or Falsehood? False? An Qing smiled bitterly. How so, the facts couldn't be clearer.

Salt River Town? She knew that this town was in Linn Province. Can everything be reasonably explained after I went? She can only go, and she must go. Because she had already felt it at the time, the feeling of being paralyzed was real, although she was still a little unsure if that person was her grandmother. But, listening to the tone, she doesn't have much time left, and she has to hurry, which may also have something to do with her parents. Extrication? What have you been doing all these years? Cowardly, forbearing, living like this, in order to get into a good university? Have a good job? And then what? Being ignorant of the past and thinking about it makes it even more painful. What if life is better in the future? He is still a prisoner of the psyche.

An Qing took a deep breath to calm her mood. As far as that's happening. No one else will believe or accept it calmly. The northern winter morning was still dark, as had happened recently, but An Qing's goal became clearer. At this moment, she has made up her mind.

I remember that when she went to Ayako's house to say goodbye, An Qing didn't say anything else, and Ayako didn't ask, just tears flowed uncontrollably, she understood An Qing, knew that she had her own reasons, and knew that the matter must be very serious, otherwise she wouldn't take the initiative to say goodbye to her. In fact, it is not so much that Ayako takes great care of An Qing, but that Ayako thinks that she is her best friend in her previous life because of An Qing's specialness. When Ayako first arrived in this class, almost all the girls in the class hated her dress, and the boys and girls thought it was too ostentatious, and some of them deliberately slandered her. When the seats were assigned, An Qing saw that no one squeaked, and offered to be at the same table with Ayako.

I remember that Ayako asked An Qing later: "Huh?" Ann, don't you hate me? ”

An Qing laughed and replied, "Why hate it? ”

yes, why hate it. Ayako felt that this was the best answer. Most people judge based on their appearance. Everyone has their own characteristics, so why hate it? I hate it, it's just that I can't accept it, and I'm short-sighted. One person can't please everyone, can't make everyone like her. For Ayako, it was her luck to have a friend like An Qing.

Since last night, the back of my neck has not hurt and the headache has disappeared. An Qing held her chin and looked at the scene flying by outside the window, and time flowed away. Before she knew it, she had been on the train for almost a day, and it was getting dark again. An Qing looked at the address she had written down from her memories, asked questions along the way, and changed buses twice on the way, and finally found it.

The courtyard was not locked, and An Qing went straight in. She looked around at the dark and silent surroundings, only the lights of the room in front of her were on, and she walked to the door steadily, and just as An Qing wanted to knock on the door, her hand stopped in mid-air and did not fall. She didn't know what she was hesitating about, she just felt like a joke. She mustered up her courage and struck three times. After a while, An Qing heard footsteps approaching and stopped, and An Qing knew that the man was looking at her through the cat's eyes.

After a while, "squeak", the door opened.

A young woman stood at the doorway and looked at her with a smile, and from behind her came the enthusiastic voice of an old man: "Come in!" Come on in! When I heard her say it was a girl, I knew it had to be you. ”

"Ahem, good boy, your eyes really resemble your father." She said with a smile.

"Grandma!" An Qing ran over and gently lay on her lap. She remembers, it's her grandmother, and in her memory, this familiar face makes her feel safe.

"Grandma, I have so many things I want to ask you." An Qing raised her head and looked at her grandmother and said. Indeed, she always thought that her grandmother had passed away, and An Qing never thought that she would see her grandmother again.

"I know, but now, it's more important for you to quickly fit the soul nail in your body, otherwise you will be devoured." She touched An Qing's head and said.

"Soul Spikes?" An Qing had no clue at all, "What's that?" ”

Grandma led An Qing to the back room, beckoned her to sit down, and asked the nanny to pour two glasses of water.

"That's your father's soul that melted into the back of your neck before he died, and everyone has a hidden lock. Ordinary people are deadlocked, only fixed to the spirit chain of the mind and body, and will automatically switch to the soul chain after death. Unlike you, you are a live lock, and you are free to switch between the two chains at will. It's because of the nails in the back of your neck. ”

She took two sips of water, and An Qing thought thoughtfully about these things. Grandma saw her confused expression, she knew that it would take a long time to understand these things, but she had to do it, because she could die at any time now, and she had to tell her as much as she could understand in the family.

The switch to save An Qing had already consumed too much energy on her, especially when she broke the spread. But she didn't tell An Qing about this, she just told her when An Qing asked just now that the soul was indeed her, and that's it.

She naturally knew that An Qing wanted to ask a lot of things about her father, but she also knew that now that An Qing was an adult, the soul nails had begun to devour from this time on. That's the priority. Although she told An Qing that she didn't know what was going on, she did know something. These, she didn't know how long she had to say, she couldn't let her be distracted, she had to let An Qing fit the soul nail first.

I don't know how long I talked about this night, An Qing was already so tired that she fell asleep. Her body was so thin and she had eaten so little for dinner, which made her very worried. It's going to be good after the fit, right? At least it would be able to reduce her pain. Everything has a lot to do with her now, but she really can't say anything to An Qing. Just hope that An Qing can be safe and sound, she will not have the luxury of hoping for An Qing's forgiveness, her peace is her greatest hope now-

An Qing stood on the edge of the roof of a tall building, at night, the cold wind blew her more and more awake, and her hair fluttered freely in the air with the wind, this feeling seemed familiar. Is it that dream? And is that really just a dream? Life is like a dream, and a dream is like life. A little fake, a little real. If you don't think about it, how can you have such a dream. And what comes to mind, how many of them were once dream-like realities?

"Are you sure you want to do this? Granddaughter. She asked behind An Qing.

"Yes." As she spoke, An Qing opened her arms. Actually, it's not like she hasn't tried it. Seizing the moment of relief from death, she thought she had done a good job, but after a few days, she still couldn't grasp that moment. Maybe humans have a fear of death anyway, and only the dying can feel it? And grandma used her knowledge of these things to automatically switch to the spirit chain when she automatically switched to the soul chain, and forcibly switched to the spirit chain. This is not something that the average person can do.

As a result, she gains some brief time and her deadlock also becomes a livelock. And her situation is far different from An Qing, because she has soul nails in her body. In fact, she was very opposed to An Qing's idea at first. But she couldn't resist An Qing's insistence. still agreed, although she can become a soul, but with her current condition, I am afraid that she will not be able to save her at a critical moment, but she is ready, at least she can save An Qing's life. It's risky, but it's an option. After all, it has been a few days, and her condition has been very bad these days, and she has coughed up blood many times and hid it from An Qing. I'm afraid that she will have scruples and delay the current matter. Time is running out and we can't stand still anymore.

Gently, An Qing jumped down. The answer, perhaps, lies below, below, deep down in the heart......

The instinct to live is innate, just like any other animal. The ultimate meaning of any fear is the same, death. The death of a loved one, the failure of the career, the bad grades, the failure to show love, and so on. What is the ultimate meaning of these? Relatives are the people who have the most connection with themselves, and more relatives mean that there may be more help and psychological comfort? This will undoubtedly increase the odds of survival. The unsatisfactory career and poor performance are all related to their living conditions to a certain extent, and the reasons are not the same? The success of a show of love largely determines whether your genes can be perpetuated, and isn't that the primordial fear of death?

An Qing said when she heard her classmates chatting before, people will see their most regrettable things before they die. What about her? She didn't know. Regretfully, she also knew that it was only a prisoner trapped in the past. And everything is moving forward, birth, old age, sickness and death, as a matter of course. What is past is history; The future is also history. Even if it is now, in the end, it will slowly be forgotten in history. It's just a matter of time, so why be afraid?

"You have to get over yourself, you have to let go." Grandma's voice woke her up. She barely opened her eyes, and she was already approaching the ground as she fell quickly.

What is she afraid of? Was it the rejection of her by her peers when she was a child? Curled up with a lonely body, drowning in the ridicule of children's words, even if she said it unintentionally, but at that time she was also in pain, and her classmates said that she was an orphan without a father or mother. She also hated it, but she always believed that her parents, everything they did must have unspeakable hardships. She knew that her grandmother had been shy about her father, but she was sure that they were doing everything for her good.

She understands that no one is abandoned, because relatives are always together, whether they are in the same world or not, their hearts are also connected; No one hates anyone, everyone lives in their own subjective opinions, and they can never really detach themselves from themselves, so why be sad; There is no one who likes anyone, good friends don't need to say a word, everything is understood, friends are not begging, they are people who are relaxed no matter what they do together; There is no one who doesn't love anyone, love freely when you love, let go freely if you love, whether you are together in the end or not, at least there are the joys and sorrows that you want to remember the most, which will remain forever.

"An Qing? Are you ready? A man's voice came from the depths of his heart.

"Yes, I'm ready." This voice? …… It's the sound of the wings. She remembers, so familiar. She still remembers the wounds she left, and now, what has precipitated is more gratitude. The possession of the past, whether it is family, friendship or love, has made her stronger. Nothing will scare him, including death.

At this moment, An Qing felt that her body suddenly became lighter and floated. She looked at her hands, which had become translucent. The process from not believing to believing seems to have passed a lifetime, as if it were reborn. Yes, she changed. When she flew back to the top floor, she saw her grandmother's satisfied smile. In fact, it was already a miracle to fit the soul nail in a few days, she knew it, but she had to let her as soon as possible. Because only in this way can she leave Anqing with confidence. Yes, now she can finally rest assured, and she can finally leave with peace of mind......

"In the future, it's up to you, granddaughter, I'm sorry." With the echo that lingered in the air, her soul left her body in an instant. Yes, this time it is the true separation of the body and the soul, and the body remains in the human world, not the temporary disappearance when switching.

An Qing looked at her grandmother's disappeared soul, silently praying and grateful. She knew that the souls of the dead could not exist excessively, and would immediately return to the place where she belonged. When she flew up, An Qing saw her grandmother turn around and smile at her, although all her memories of becoming a soul were gone, but she was sure that it was the truest smile she had ever seen, and it would be imprinted in An Qing's heart forever.

Suddenly, she felt the power of her grandmother's heart, pure motivation, which inspired her, and she couldn't stop crying.

Grandma actually handed over the aftermath to this nanny a long time ago, judging from the past few days, she can also see that Sister Luo is indeed a trustworthy person, she has been with her grandmother for many years, and she does things in an orderly manner. The two obeyed the old man's last wish and buried her ashes under a tree in the courtyard.

"An Qing, come on." So saying, she walked into the house.

She took a book from the bookcase in the hall and took out a passbook and title deed that was tucked into the book. "These are your grandmother's relics, she said she must give them to you, and now my task is complete. I can get out of here with peace of mind. She laughs.

"Where else can you go?" An Qing knew her background, before she met her grandmother, she was a homeless girl who begged on the streets all year round. Almost all the townspeople knew about her, abandoned by her parents since she was a child, and was later adopted, but when the adopter had a child of her own, she didn't want to take her in anymore. Those lonely and wandering days were undoubtedly very painful.

"You stay here, no one knows this place better than you, please take care of this yard." An Qing shook her hand and continued, "Also, I only took part of the money left by my grandmother as daily expenses. The rest is left to you. "It's a very big property, and she didn't know about it before. She felt that her grandmother must have a reason for doing this. Grandma's will did not explicitly write any property to the nanny, which may also be a test for her. It is indeed not easy to fully believe in a person, and one's greed will never disappear at any time, and there is no end to many, just wanting more.

Suddenly, she knelt directly in front of An Qing. "Don't worry, I'll take care of this house."

"Hurry up, I know Sister Luo." An Qing hurriedly helped her up.

In the evening, she insisted on staying with Anqing for dinner. But An Qing just wants to be alone, these days are an important turning point in An Qing's life, like years have passed. After being busy with her grandmother's funeral, she can feel at ease. She needs alone time.

There is no feast in the world, and the two hug each other and part. This world is so big and so small, there will always be goodbye if you have fate.

An Qing wanted to take the train home, but in the end she refunded the ticket. She wanted to use this opportunity to practice mastery of the soul. Ever since she had been in the Soul Spike that time, it had become more natural for her to control her mind. She learned to take control of the feeling of detachment and feel more relaxed. Switching between chains has also become much easier.

She had never experienced freedom so freely, flying in the silent night under the moon. The wind seemed to pass through her body, and she didn't feel the cold. An Qing didn't expect that she would be able to "fly" one day, flying so fast and so naturally, she easily flew over the train she was going to take. An Qing laughed, how long has it been, how long has it been since she smiled so heartily. She didn't know why, but she was so happy. Now, as long as she controls her energy properly, she can master the speed of flight.

Facing the souls that floated past An Qing from time to time, she was no longer afraid. From the moment she fits the soul nail, she can see the soul, and the soul can only see the same alien as An Qing, they are like seeing the same kind, and they will not do anything, because since their death, the memory is completely integrated with the mind, and the mind of this dead soul will automatically fall off from the soul, and it will be inherited according to the different levels of missing this person. The dead souls will also be recovered on the same day.

The vision of the soul state is not affected by light, whether it is day or night. I've already flown I don't know how far. An Qing was a little tired, and she settled in the town in front of her. An Qing found a place where there were relatively few people, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Changing the chain and becoming a body, An Qing completed the switch of the spirit chain in an instant. She took a deep breath, although she said that she had switched freely, but in the soul state, the loss of heartbeat and breathing still occasionally made An Qing feel uncomfortable.

An Qing looked down at her watch, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and it took about two hours to follow the road signs along the way. This place is deserted, An Qing has no impression of this place, she asked passers-by, and the person told An Qing that this is Dixiang Town, and it is not far from Hwaseong.

"Jixiang Town?" An Qing muttered. She was very familiar with this town, and she didn't know where she had heard of it. Maybe it's because I'm thinking too much.

Luckily, there are a few hotels near where An Qing stays, and now she needs to rest, and she also wants to go to bed early, she hasn't had much rest these days. Besides, only sleep can replenish soul power, and she can't ignore this.

Late at night –

"Woo-" An Qing was woken up by the constant sound of crying. She sat up, woke up from sleep, yawned and got out of bed to find out.

Following the voice, she slowly walked deeper into the hallway of the doorway. As she approached, An Qing gradually saw that it was a soul squatting there, a boy. Suddenly, he raised his head and stared at An Qing, he felt that something was wrong, he could actually see this human being.

"Can you hear me?" The boy asked.

"Yes. Do you remember what happened when you were alive? An Qing thought silently in her heart. She was strange because dead souls were supposed to have no memory, and it was clear that the boy was not an alien either.

"I'm running out of time. I'm going to save her, can you help me? The boy asked sadly.

"What happened?" An Qing didn't understand what he was talking about at all.

"You put your hand out." The boy burst out of nowhere.

At first, An Qing hesitated, but did so because she didn't feel the hostility in the slightest.

At the moment when the boy held An Qing's hands penetratingly, the biting cold instantly spread to his whole body. An Qing instantly shared the memories in his eyes as if he had experienced it himself, and tears couldn't help but come out. So what kind of person can do such a thing? There is still such a place in this society now!? In the dim light, several teenagers stood naked in a row in the warehouse, waiting for the "needed" organs to be cut off and sold. The stern guards paralyzed them with fear, and the feeling of helplessness An Qing could empathize. Like lambs to the slaughter, one by one the teenagers walked up to places that could not even be called "operating tables". They didn't even use anesthetic, the man covered their mouths and noses with a rag soaked in drugs, and when they were unconscious, they took out all the organs to be sold, the heart, the eyes, the kidneys, ....... There is no doubt that the child died on the spot! Many of the children in the back were already trembling with fright when they saw such a tragic situation, and some knelt directly on the ground, their eyes were empty......

"I'm already like this, and I don't want my sister to be like this. I want her to go back to her parents. He was almost crying, An Qing looked very distressed, she knew from her memory that her sister's children were the next batch of "orders" in the near future. I don't know if it's too late, and I don't know how much she can do with her abilities, but she has to help the boy, and she has to act now.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to help you. What is your name? An Qing looked at him with a smile.

"I can't remember." Only then did An Qing understand that he only remembered the most important thing that he couldn't let go. That is to save her sister. Other memories have disappeared, but the mind has not fallen off, temporarily co-existing with the memory.

If you call the police now, it may be too late. Only by calling the police first, and then taking action yourself, you have to buy time.

In the current state, switching to the soul state is the most time-saving method.

"Can I go?" The boy asked, taking her hand.

An Qing nodded. Although there is no backup for the time being, it is also very dangerous. At least when you encounter a crisis situation, you can use your ability to solve the siege. She thought.

The two of them flew rapidly, and in a blink of an eye she followed the boy to the woodland of the border area of the town, which was really quite hidden, and in the woods of the border area of the town, it was even more difficult to find in winter, and in the moonlight, the white expanse, this dilapidated warehouse seemed to merge into this snowy jungle.

"Is this the warehouse?" An Qing stopped in the air and looked at him and asked.

The boy nodded.

"Let's go." As he spoke, the two flew in.

The warehouse is no longer what it looks like in An Qing's memory fragments, it has been completely cleaned up. Here there were only two people casually "patrolling". It was empty, there was no trace to follow, and where was the dark confinement house I saw?? All she saw were fragmentary memories, not many clues. Just when An Qing was clueless, the boy suddenly took An Qing's hand.

"It's here! Follow me. He took An Qing directly through the ground to the basement of the warehouse. Although An Qing was almost accustomed to this kind of soul penetration now, the few meters of dark formation still made her feel uncomfortable somewhat. I didn't expect there to be such a deep basement tunnel under this warehouse. A deep passage, there seems to be a fork in the road ahead, bottomless, and even more deserted under the faint light. It may be that most of the children have been arrested, so they have relatively few guards. On the way to show An Qing to the house, she observed that the distance between the two guards was very large. This is a good thing, but on the other hand, because the road is not too wide, you have to meet and there is no way to escape.

Thanks to the boy's guidance, they were able to find the house easily, saving a lot of time. When they entered the room, An Qing was stunned, the situation was far worse than she had imagined. They are exhausted and in very poor condition. Many of the children are wounded and are now asleep. An Qing didn't know if she could do it, but from below, An Qing had to change the spirit chain, and she had to face it alone. Because, the boy is just a dead soul, and he can't see humans.

But before she could do that, she had to find a way to lure the guards out of the doorway. Just when An Qing was at a loss, she suddenly thought that she could use the divine movement. When An Qing mentioned this suggestion to the boy, he told An Qing that his soul power was very weak, and the limit of his soul power was generally not something that could be controlled by himself. However, a small amount of soul power is sufficient, as it does not require a particularly large amount of soul power. The soul can use the divine movement to contact the non-living world, which is something that ordinary souls can do, but the living world cannot be equaled. The most important thing is not to use the non-living world to touch the living world, or to directly touch the living world, which is what her grandmother told her to absolutely remember. As for the boy, all he had to do was to make a noise near the guards to lure him away, from near to far, leading the guards to the side fork in the road little by little, buying time for An Qing to lead the children out.

"Whoa-" The boy slashed at the wall with all his might, making noise.

The gatekeeper who was sitting on the side playing with his mobile phone just turned his head to look at it when he heard it, didn't care, and then lowered his head and continued to play.

An Qing was afraid that there might be a slight noise when she woke up the child, so as not to attract the attention of the guards. She had to wait at the door for the guard to walk away before she could safely enter, but if she did, it would be too far away from the boy for them to speak. At this time, the guards did not move. It's a waste of time to go on like this, and there's no way to make any progress. So she started to help too, making noises around him to get his attention. The guard finally raised his head impatiently, frowned, said a dirty word, and put down his phone and walked in the direction of the boy.

An Qing took the opportunity to immediately enter through the door, and then immediately switched the body chain.

"Wake up...... An Qing gently nudged her, and the girl who was asleep against the wall rubbed her eyes. As soon as the girl wanted to speak, she saw An Qing looking at her with a smile and making a quiet gesture.

"We have to wake up the other kids quickly, time is running out." The girl nodded firmly.

It didn't take long for all the children to wake up. Most of the children were very cooperative. Look at the eyes they look at themselves, full of hope. This made An Qing feel a sense of responsibility, she had to do it, she had to help them. Just when she was about to turn into a soul state to explore the wind, the boy suddenly came in.

"Sister!! He sat down again. I can't help it, is my sister here? Younger sister? He shouted anxiously, although only An Qing could hear it.

"Don't worry! He just sat down and didn't come in. We just need to ......" An Qing didn't finish his words, "squeak", and the door was pushed open.

An Qing raised her head in horror, just in time to meet the guard's eyes. At this moment, there seemed to be a long, long pause. But An Qing must make corresponding countermeasures, and at this moment she has no choice. The children screamed in fright and huddled by the wall, the condition was so bad that if they didn't flee now, they would never be able to leave when the other guards came. The guard at the door had a look of surprise to a weird smirk, and he probably thought that there was another one more "sent to the door", and it was a thin little girl. He didn't pay any attention to her, and instead of calling anyone else, he locked the door behind him.

"Shut up!!" The man shouted viciously. The children remembered the diabolical torture they were subjected to by the guards, and they were so frightened that they had to cover their mouths so that they could not make a sound, and tears flowed profusely.

An Qing knew what this person was thinking, ** not far from ten. Although An Qing has not been in the soul nail for a long time, and her perception ability is relatively weak, the filth of the soul of this person in front of her is far beyond An Qing's imagination. Even the current An Qing can feel it.

At this moment, he suddenly rushed up, An Qing couldn't dodge, was slammed to the ground, and hit his head heavily on the ground. Suddenly, the vision was blurred, and the sky was dark.

The man was on An Qing's body and ripped off An Qing's clothes vigorously, An Qing was confused and powerless to resist. Let him spoil An Qing. "Let her go!" A girl next to him didn't know where to get the stick, and where did she get the courage to smash the man's head hard at him. It's a pity that this wooden stick is not very strong, it was broken directly, the man touched his head, got up angrily and kicked hard, the girl flew directly into the wall, and fell to the ground in a dying state.

"Nosy! You deserve to die. Damn, I'm going to be scolded by my boss again! The man angrily kicked the girl in the head several more times. The girl didn't move......

An Qing was lying on the ground in disheveled clothes, tilting her head sideways, vaguely, and saw that the person kicked by the man was the girl she woke up first. Her soul had been scattered over her body. She, why can she let go of her fears, maybe, there is really nothing worth her nostalgia for, maybe she has done her best, maybe she is the same as herself......

An Qing burst into tears......

Just as the man was about to turn around and return to An Qing's side, he suddenly fell to his knees with a twitch on his face. It turned out that the boy found the approximate location of the man according to An Qing's gaze and the location where his sister's soul was scattered, and used all his strength there to exude his soul power.

The soul is the most yin, while the human body is active and the most yang. When they coexist, they cancel each other out. Isn't the existence of all things in the world like this, they are all a community of contradictions, there are good and evil, there are crying and laughing, there is life and death, and there is unity and integration......

The man then fell to his knees and died. Only his clothes remained. At that moment, at the last moment, An Qing seemed to see the boy smiling at her, and she felt an unusually warm strength. It was a trust, a trust in her, a trust in the love that I believed in......

Suddenly, she came to her senses. An Qing calmed her nerves, now is not the time to admit defeat, and she can't admit defeat. She quickly propped herself up and shook her head to make herself more conscious. She walked over to the girl and picked up her body hard, she must not let her body be in such a place.

She remembers that the boy said that the access was at the intersection on the left, not far before turning right. She dragged her tired body and led the children, and although she didn't know what awaited her in front of her, she was ready to do the same, like a boy. She calmed the children a little, listened to the door, and led them out of the door.

It was a good little distance, no one, but just as they were about to turn left at the end. happened to meet the two of them walking towards this side, and they also found An Qing and the children.

"Stop!" The two men yelled.

An Qing doesn't know what to do now, she will definitely not leave them alone, is this all over? Just as she was ready to sacrifice, "Smack! Syllable! Syllable! "Three shots, two people were killed on the spot.

It turned out to be the police called by An Qing, and they had already arrived and quickly surrounded the entire area. They were saved.

It's a nest of child organ traffickers, and there have been many rumors about it, but, now, it seems, it's not a rumor at all. And why has this not been discovered until now? And what does that officer's sorry mean?

In An Qing's inadvertent touch, An Qing felt that this was a soul full of justice. It's a pity that justice is nothing more than stupidity these days, human greed is changing all this, and he, who has been oppressed by the deputy director before, has only recently collected enough evidence to confirm the fact that the director has been taking bribes to assist in committing crimes for a long time.

Humanity destroys the world, and it destroys itself. Is this balance?

At that time, they were on their way to find this warehouse. She was surprised to learn that the boy remembered his sister's name, but forgot his own. Facts make people sad and make people grow. She asked all the children who were finally rescued one by one, and none of them were a girl named Xia Xue. Only then did she understand what the boy had said when he left: "It's okay, you've done your best." What does it mean, the answer is naturally clear, that girl is his sister. She looked at Xia Xue, who was being carried into the ambulance, and she knew that everything was over. Yes, he loves her, and she is brave enough to prove her strength. This brother-sister relationship will not change due to world events.

An Qing felt heartache because she didn't save his sister. She didn't know how long the heartache would last, but she knew it would make her more awake in the future.

Although their nest has been found, when the police searched it full, the culprit ran away.

An Qing buried Xia Xue and her brother's graves together, it turned out that they were abandoned by their parents in an orphanage since they were children, and they depended on each other......

Two bouquets of white flowers, beautiful, pure, and fragrant, lie quietly in front of their monument. Under the sunset, it was dyed with a faint purple red, a faint sadness and tranquility......

An Qing turned to leave, and although she was reluctant, she had to continue to move forward. She flies in the sunset-soaked, purple-blue sea, flying, awake, buried in the blue of sorrow.
