Chapter 6: The Soul That Vanished

When I returned to my residence, I remembered that I was so angry with Old Man Wu that I forgot to ask about the little girl next door, and now I am in a panic, and I will mention it when we meet next time.

In the next few days, I continued to bring one soul after another to the guidance of the underworld, but it was different from the previous cautiousness, and now I waited for the club, rope and charm together if I resisted a little, and finally followed me obediently with a blue nose and swollen face.

At noon, I wandered along the side of the road, and based on the time and address, I guessed that the spirit had died in a car accident.

Although I have always preferred to work during the day, I can avoid a lot of separation scenes with a soul collection bag. It's just that this method will cause damage to the soul, and it was not a last resort and would not be used before, and it was tried to wait for the soul to be sealed in the body until the evening before receiving it, but recently the mood has not been smooth, and I am too lazy to worry so much.

Looking around, Old Man Wu appeared in my eyes, and I turned my head to the other side.

"Don Jr., I know it's my responsibility. But you can also be regarded as a blessing in disguise, after all, this is a job, the pay is good, and you can get a half-official position in the underworld after you die......"

I couldn't help it: "Old man Wu, if you can't beat you, I'll seal your mouth." After you died, you found an official and a half position, and your whole family sought an official and a half position. ”

"Hehe, that's what my old man thinks. At such an age, I have worked hard all my life, and I have worked hard without merit, and I will definitely not be treated badly if I go down. Old Wu said with a hippie smile.

"You ......" had nothing to say for a while, and wanted to stay away from him.

"If you are really aggrieved, you will clean up my old man's house and never fight back. ”

I stopped: "Seriously?"

"But you also know that the old man is old and in poor health, and it is not yet time for reincarnation. If I didn't do it, I would have been in the hospital for many years. ”

"Just to lie to me, didn't you? Old man, did you touch porcelain today?"

"I don't look for you when I touch porcelain, it's all my own family. I just wanted to treat you to a meal. I've cheated and drunk so many times from you before, and it's time for me to invite you. ”

"It's rare for your conscience to find out, wait for me to get down to business. ”

"Okay, your uncle is next to you......"

"Your uncle!"

Looking at the time and the location of the mission, I suddenly found that many people around me were looking at me while walking, touching my face without foreign objects, and looking at the clothes were normal, and shouted to the old man with a light in my head: "Old man Wu, are you invisible? Everyone looks at me talking to the air and I am crazy!"

Find a secluded place to get ready, and just get back to where you are, you can watch a pedestrian running a red light be hit by a car that doesn't have time to brake.

Spirits don't emerge during the day. I took out the blackout charm and chanted the spell, causing the charm to fly over the deceased, slowly turning into an umbrella shape to block out the sunlight shining on the deceased.

Soon the soul of the deceased was seen slowly appearing. I walked over and took out the token to confirm that there was no problem, took out the soul bag and put it into the soul and waited for the evening to be delivered.

"Old man, call it a day. ”

"Let's go, find a home with a unique ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, I heard a "clang". As far as the eye can see, there is another car accident not far away.

A small car rushed onto the sidewalk, and several people were lying on the ground.

Old man Wu asked, "Will this be just one?"

I took the token and looked at it, and there was no change on it: "Well, it's just one." It seems that there are no dead people this time. ”

Accustomed to seeing the scene of death, he has no interest in this kind of excitement. The old man regained his smile: "Then let's go, it's none of our business." ”

I withdrew my gaze and prepared to leave.

"No, look!" the old man stared at the scene of the accident with a grim face.

I followed his gaze and saw the body of one of the people lying on the ground with a soul.

My eyes widened, my mind went blank, and I came back to my senses and quickly took out the token and the charm.

"It's too late. ”

I looked intently, and my soul disappeared into a puff of smoke in the sunlight.

"What's going on? And how can you come out on your own in broad daylight?"

Old Wu Tou showed a serious expression on his face: "There are many reasons, I hope it's not a headache." It seems that I can't eat today. ”

At this time, I was in the mood to eat, and asked anxiously, "What should I do now?

"It's none of your business. Let's follow that person, maybe you can open your eyes. ”

Soon the ambulance arrived at the scene, and the old man and I got into the ambulance along with the body that had disappeared.

Although I couldn't see the two of us around or hear us talking, I wasn't in the mood to speak, and I saw that Lao Wu Tou was also expressionless and seemed to be thinking about something.

When I arrived at the hospital and followed the body into the emergency room, I was surprised to find that Uncle Chen was already standing inside.

He looked at Old Wu Tou and asked, "Is there anything suspicious around?"

"No, it looks like I've been blinded for a long time. Have you checked this person's longevity?"

"Checked, it was indeed the end of life just now, but there was no him in the citation book. ”

"That's someone changed. Now it's time to figure out whether the book of life and death or the book of quotations has been changed. ”

I listened to their conversation a little inexplicably.

Uncle Chen looked at me at this time: "This matter is not your responsibility. ”

His words made me feel much more relaxed: "How can this happen?"

"Remember what I taught you before?"

According to the content of their conversation, he replied: "The moment of life and death of the world is managed by the book of life and death, and the book of quotation is automatically written according to the time of their life, and the task on our token is assigned by the book of quotation according to the time and place of each person's departure from the yang world. ”

"Yes. If the token does not prompt, it means that the soul is not in the reference book. Then his death was either caused by a person with superb magic against the sky, or he temporarily changed the book of life and death, so the book of quotation was not completed. ”

I was surprised by this result and couldn't help asking, "Can it still be written?"

Uncle Chen helped explain: "There is a periodicity in the book of quotations. This situation shows that this person was changed during this book writing cycle. ”

"Can you really change the book of life and death? I always thought it was a myth. ”

Old Wu gave me a blank look: "Young man, what you are doing now is the work in mythological stories. ”

I was speechless.

"But it's not easy to change the book of life and death, can you go from an ordinary person to the head of a country?"

"It's so hard?!"

"Of course, otherwise the world would have been in chaos a long time ago. ”

"Then why do spirits emerge during the day?"

"There are many ways to do this, and it is not easy to leave traces, and one way is to use magic to blind the soul in advance, so that he can mistake it for night. ”

While we were talking, Uncle Chen took out the token and glanced at it, and his face suddenly changed: "There is another person nearby whose soul has dissipated after death." ”
