4. Borrow the corpse to return the soul

Two police officers were guarding outside the ward, but they didn't seem to be very vigilant, and they were all sitting on either side of the door. There were several guys with microphones and cameras sitting on the chairs not far from the ward, presumably from the local media, and judging by the disappointment on their faces, the interview seemed to have been rejected.

This is definitely good news for me, and I don't want my face to be seen by the whole country.

But it seems like similar TV reports will mosaic criminals' faces, but it seems to associate my face with something dirty.

Fortunately, it was right not to let them come for the interview!

After some random sighs, the honeycomb boy and I officially began to search for Qiao Wei. However, this operation was a bit too simple, and it was declared successful at the beginning, because Qiao Wei's hospital room was next door to me, and the police in charge of guarding it had clearly marked Qiao Wei's location.

The police couldn't see me, no one could see me, the door couldn't stop me, and I even had some doubts about the weaknesses of ghosts that Qiao Wei said before were true.

I was somewhat relieved to enter Qiao Wei's ward, Qiao Wei was not wearing an oxygen mask on his face, his face looked good, and the most important thing was that he was lying on the hospital bed and looking at the ceiling with his eyes open, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, Qiao Wei's face jerked towards the door, and he seemed to notice me coming in.

I hurriedly waved at Qiao Wei and said, "Hey, can you see me?" ”

Qiao Wei didn't answer, he just kept glaring at me and didn't make any other moves. He really couldn't do anything else, because his hands and feet were shackled to the bed - the police had taken much stricter precautions against him than I had on my side.

"Is this the friend you're looking for?" The honeycomb boy asked me.

"Hmm." I nodded in response.

"He seems to be able to see the two of us, it's interesting."

"He understands yin and yang ghosts, and he can see yin qi, but looking at the way he is now, he doesn't seem to be able to see ghosts directly." I analyzed.

"What then?" The honeycomb man asked.

I didn't answer him immediately, but took a quick glance around the room.

"There you have it, use that!"

There was an open notepad on the table on the inside of the bed, and a pen next to it, and since he couldn't see me, I would write to him to use the Soul Summoning Technique, so that there would be no more obstacles.

I took two light steps to the table, took a deep breath to adjust my emotions, and tried to pick up the pen once I felt like I was in a state of flux.

But my hand suddenly clawed, and my finger hit the table with a very slight "thud".

"Who?!" Qiao Wei asked in a low voice, and as he turned his head to look at the table, he also began to recite the Soul Summoning Technique.

I've heard this spell no less than fifty times, but it's the first time I've heard it in the state of a ghost, and this time the soul summoning trick is obviously different from the previous ones, every time Qiao Wei spits out a word, there will be a small white light flickering in front of my eyes, in the white light I seem to see a river, as the summoning trick continues, the river is getting closer and closer to me.

Gradually, I couldn't hear the spell clearly, and my eyes were completely gone, and I was completely in the middle of the river, floating along it.

Suddenly, another blinding white light quickly shot at me, enveloping my whole body, and when the white light finally dissipated, everything in front of me returned to normal.

I was still standing next to Qiao Wei's hospital bed, and Qiao Wei on the bed looked at me with extremely surprised eyes.

"Thunder...... Thunder? How do you ......" Qiao Wei could obviously already see me.

"I'm not dead!!" I'm going to get the most crucial sentence out first.

"Not dead? But...... But you...... Arrive...... What the hell is going on? Qiao Wei stammered so much that he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

I hurriedly told Qiao Wei in detail everything I had experienced that day, and Qiao Wei also frowned and fell into deep thought.

I didn't bother Qiao Wei to think, just waited for his reply.

After a long while, Qiao Wei finally looked at me again and said, "I also think that you are not dead, and it is not impossible for an out-of-body situation like this to happen, do you remember that time I went to the hot spring hotel?" The time when the soul was turned upside down! ”

"Remember, Miko Sakumoto, that female ghost!"

"I don't know the name of the innkeeper, but you must be very impressed by the sacrificial ritual he performed, he sacrificed the souls of the living upside down to his ancestors! Although your situation is certainly different from that time, it is possible to take souls from living people! ”

"So what now? Can you put me back? I asked.

Qiao Wei nodded, "It's not difficult to put it back, but the question is whether this can solve the problem for a long time." ”

"What do you mean?"

"I can use the method of resurrecting the soul to seal your soul back into your body, but this can only cure the symptoms and not the root cause, and you must find the root cause of your soul out of your body."

"Resurrection of a corpse? I'm not dead over there, am I not a corpse? I said.

"'Corpse' is just a term, as long as it is an empty shell without a soul, it is considered a corpse."

"Wait, wait, you say an empty shell without a soul? That's not ...... Isn't that the two brothers of the Mao family who made puppets? Could it be the wishing box? I said.

"No, you didn't bring the box, did you?" Qiao Wei asked.

"No, it's in the custody of the bank!"

"Then it has nothing to do with the box. By the way, what about the Ten Fist Sword? Where did you put that sword? ”

"After killing Susanoo, the sword disappeared and got into my hand like a mist."

"Oh!" Qiao Wei nodded suddenly in realization, "That makes sense, the Ten Fists Sword is a container used by the gods to collect souls just like the Wishing Box, if the Wishing Box can replace your soul, then the Ten Fist Sword should also have the same function." Alas, maybe you will automatically recover your soul if you seal it back, let's not think about this for now, it's the key to think about how to release me, now don't talk about borrowing the corpse to return the soul, I can't even get off this bed! ”

After speaking, Qiao Wei moved his hands and feet hard, and the handcuffs tightly fixed him on the bed, if he didn't use external force, I am afraid he would not have been able to escape from here.

I tried to touch the handcuffs on the side of the bed, but just like when I tried to get a pen and write, my hands couldn't touch the handcuffs at all, but I could touch the bigger bed.

"What's going on? I can't touch small things, only big ones. I asked.

"It's normal, and you won't be able to touch anything after a while." Qiao Wei replied.

"Huh? I thought you were going to say that after a while I would be proficient, and then I would be able to touch anything! ”

"Your friend is right!" The honeycomb boy, who had been silent all along, also opened his mouth at this time, "You can still remember how you felt when you were a human being, but after a while you will completely forget that feeling, and then you will be the same as I am now." With that, the honeycomb boy floated and passed through the middle of the hospital bed like a ghost often seen in movies.
