Chapter 2: Secrets of the Soul

"What's wrong with you?" Yan looked at me strangely, as if he didn't know about this person's relationship with me.

"You mean, you are taking this person's soul?" At this time, I don't think about the identity of this Yan in front of me, if this is Zhou Yuan's soul, it means that my good friend has...

I didn't dare to think about it, so I had to ask him like this

"Yes, didn't I say that when someone dies, I will collect the soul"

"When did you receive it?" I still had a glimmer of hope, a slim hope.

"I'll look at the time, I came out in the morning and ate a white-cut chicken, and then went to Shangxiajiu to eat a double-skin milk, and then drank a cup of Huang Zhenlong..."

"Oh, that's okay," I patted my chest to say reassured, Zhou Yuan showed us the design drawings he made at five o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhou Yuan still had dinner with us at six o'clock in the evening, it wouldn't be him.

But the "man" inside kept yelling at me, and I couldn't hear what he was saying through the bottle.

"That, this guy, well, this ghost, well, this soul seems to be going to say something?" I gestured to the bottle, "Can we hear that?"

He looked at me, at the bottle, scratched his head, "Yes, but the soul will have problems if you come out for too long, you wait" He stretched out his finger and drew a few times in the air against the ground, and with his finger, some patterns appeared on the floor, and then carefully opened the bottle

The soul inside came out at once, stood on the ground, and burst into tears at me, "Haoning save me, I'm Zhou Yuan!"

I jumped out of bed in shock, and I thought of countless possibilities in my mind, but I also felt illogical, "You are talking nonsense! Zhou Yuan also showed me his design drawings in the afternoon, and I also had dinner with Zhou Yuan in the evening!"

"That's not me, no, that's me, hey, how can I explain it to you?" Zhou Yuan in front of him was very anxious, not knowing what to say

"Oh, I see," Yan pondered, "did you make a deal with some people, agreeing to raise your spirits or something?"

I looked at him anxiously, he thought about it, and said for a long time before he said, "I agreed, but it's not about optimizing the spirit, it's about making my professional ability stronger..."

"Aha, you deserve it!" Yan gloated and laughed on the sofa, looking at this heartless appearance, I began to believe that this thing was the devil, "Is that different? ”

"Shut up", at this time, I was not afraid of offending Yan, looked at Zhou Yuan, and asked word by word, "What happened in the afternoon, what ability do you want to improve, tell me specifically"

"Okay", Zhou Yuan lowered his head, as if caught in a memory, "I went to Sister Lan in the afternoon, phew, that wicked woman, there is also a painting like this on the floor in her room——"

"It's definitely different, this one of mine is the Spirit Gathering Array, and yours must be the Falling Spirit Array, although it is somewhat similar, but there is still a difference when you look closely, your eyes are really bad-" Yan took over the conversation, and saw that I was glaring at him, so he stopped talking, and made a gesture for Zhou Yuan to continue

"They didn't know what to say, and gave me a glass of water, and I fainted, and when I woke up, I found myself in a cage surrounded by very large hares, and after a while the cage opened, and I saw myself coming from a distance—

"What do you mean by seeing yourself coming?" I frowned, "aren't you yourself? how can you see yourself coming?"

"I don't know, I was frightened, I wanted to call for help, but I couldn't make a sound at all, at this time, I came and grabbed my ear and lifted me up, and wiped the kitchen knife against my neck, I lost consciousness, and when I was conscious, I entered this person, this-"

"My name is Yan", Yan looked at Zhou Yuan and didn't know what to call himself, and said

"Yan's bottle, and then I saw you, and then, it's just now"

"I understand, good strategy, good means!" Yan couldn't help but jump up, looked at our confused eyes, and explained, "What Zhou Yuan saw was not a very big hare, if I guessed correctly, this soul in front of me at that time had already been stuffed into the body of another hare." So you were a rabbit at the time. ”

"Forcibly taking the souls of the living will be traced by the Three Realms, but there is one situation that will not be a problem, and that is suicide, which is tantamount to giving up one's right to live. The one who came over was your body, and the one who picked it up was a rabbit with your soul, killing people is illegal, killing animals is not illegal, especially if the person who did it is your own body, which is equivalent to abolishing your own soul, no one can control it, and as long as such a soul is handled properly, it will not be recovered by us, and no one will pursue it in most cases. You died, leaving behind a skin, but they didn't deal with cause and effect, what a good plan"

"Did you offend someone? Sister Lan?" I ignored Yan's self-talk and asked Zhou Yuan patiently.

"No, we have known each other for a long time, before she often worked unsmoothly and unhappy, and then we met for a while, she was very happy every time she ate, saying how smooth her work was, I asked her how she did it, and she didn't answer my question, but asked me a question"

"She asks you how to understand a sentence" At this time, a voice came from outside the door: "The pace of people is too fast, and the soul can no longer catch up." The door opened, and Zhou Yuan walked in, to be exact, it should be Zhou Yuan's physical body that walked in

This flesh body Zhou Yuan sat on the sofa, stared at his soul for a while, and suddenly smiled, "I'm glad that your answer at that time was a little self-deprecating, but now I think it's right, but I didn't expect that the body of the rabbit I slaughtered was my own soul." But it doesn't matter now, I won't care about it anyway."

"I know, this is what my body said, at that time I said, in today's society, those who can't catch up will fall behind, if the soul can't catch up, let us wait, then we will fall behind even more after we wait, who will pity our own backwardness? So we can only choose to run forward, regardless of the soul. Zhou Yuan's soul became lower and lower the more he spoke, and finally sat on the ground and buried his head in his arm

"What are they talking about? Why can't I understand?" I asked Yan with a confused expression

"Well, what they say does exist" Yan didn't laugh at this time, but explained to me seriously, "Many people, the entanglement in this life, it's not that he is incapable, but that he does things that his soul doesn't agree with every day, but he has to do it, because there are family, colleagues, and comparisons, when the soul and the will are not consistent, most people will choose the soul to compromise with reality, but you are a very extreme one, directly abandon the soul, as long as the body"

"I didn't know if I wanted to give up my soul at first", Zhou Yuan, the physical body on the sofa, replied with a smile, " But after today's processing, I found that I was much more relaxed, I don't have to care if these things are what I want to do, as long as I want, I can fully concentrate on doing anything, I didn't want to look at my blueprints at all, but now I can easily find that there are a lot of mistakes and problems in it, and I can even be praised for the drawings I made in just five minutes, this feeling is so wonderful, this is just the beginning, how much I will achieve in the long run, I can't think of it"

No wonder the design drawings that Zhou Yuan showed me in the afternoon were like they had been made by a different person, so good! I thought to myself, it turned out that Zhou Yuan at that time in the afternoon was already the current physical Zhou Yuan.

"That's because I don't want to be a designer at all!" Zhou Yuan, the soul buried in his head, suddenly raised his head and roared, startling me, "I just want to write my articles well, be a writer, record my thoughts, and live my life like this-"

"What nonsense are you talking about! This kind of person can't live at all!" Zhou Yuan, the physical body, also yelled at him, "The truth is, you don't want to do this, so you won't use your mind, and your consciousness can't concentrate! Do you know? Every time someone accuses my work of being so ugly, how uncomfortable my heart is! I have to pretend to be a casual joke, my whole person is distorted!" I'm 28 years old, and you know that every night when I lie in bed, looking at the ceiling, I ask myself a question, and I just greet my 30 years old? If I go on like this, I have no future, no future, no good living conditions and a future for my future wife and children, what kind of man am I! Compared to these, what is it without the bond of the soul? Since you can't change, then I can only make such a decision, you be your ghost, I will be my person!"

Zhou Yuan on the ground couldn't say a word, his eyes were full of despair, looking at me with hopeful eyes, hoping that I could say something. I moved my mouth, but I couldn't say a word, I never seriously thought that Zhou Yuan would care so much about the contradiction between his future and the current situation, what he said was the truth. The two in front of me are Zhou Yuan, and I don't even know who to help.

"Didn't the person who gave you the fallen soul say that your physical body can only live for 7 days?" Yan said with a sneer at this time.

"What?!" I asked at the same time as Zhou Yuan, there were too many strange things today, I even forgot to ask why Zhou Yuan didn't know the reason, doesn't this mean that Zhou Yuan can't live for a few days?

"You're right, it's really possible for the soul to be inconsistent with your consciousness, if this can be solved so easily, then why are there so few people who have done this throughout the ages?" Yan shook his head, looking like an old pedant, out of step with his handsome face," Except for cultivators who can go out of their bodies, normal people's souls are out of the body, and there will be problems with the body in seven days at most, although the soul can't keep up with the consciousness, but the soul is the most basic element for a person to live, otherwise why would so many people die of overwork? It's that they keep consuming their souls, and at the last moment, there is not much left of the soul, and the reason why you are okay now is probably because——"

"Because that talisman water is used to protect your physical functions", a voice came from outside, the door opened, and a bald head came in, it turned out to be Liu Shuai, I was surprised to find that he stared at the soul Zhou Yuan on the ground, as if he could see him, isn't it normal people can't see it?

"Can you see him?" Liu Shuai and I asked each other at the same time, and he found that he seemed to have missed something, and then stopped mentioning this topic, "Jiang Shang gave similar things to Bigan back then, and the specific effects are different, one is a body protector, one is a soul protector, but there are defects if you can't protect a lifetime."

I suddenly felt like a fool in this group, they all seemed to know more than I knew.

"How is Sister Nalan doing?" Zhou Yuan asked without giving up.
