Chapter 8: The Mystery of the Soul

"Actually, that gray man is here because of you," he turned to look into the distance, his tone a little low.

I was still a little surprised to hear his answer, even though I had guessed it before, but when I really knew the answer, I still couldn't believe it, and I was silent. He didn't look at me, but he didn't bother me, but stood there quietly looking at the horizon in the distance, as if thinking about something.

The rain was falling heavily, and the umbrella I had brought from home had been thrown away when the gray people rushed at me. The rain fell on us, but we didn't care, and after a long time, I thought about it, and since it was because I brought it, I can always understand everything, right?

I looked at him and was about to ask, but when he saw me looking at him, he knew what I was going to do, and said before me: "Actually, you have to know these things sooner or later, but I have my concerns, so it's better that you don't know for the time being, so I can only tell you part of it, and you will naturally understand the rest later." ”

Seeing that his attitude was unquestionable, I knew that even if I asked again, I couldn't ask anything, and even if I could only know part of it, it was better than not knowing. At this time, although I was very quiet on the surface, I was excited inside, because I finally knew the cause of the whole thing, and even if I couldn't hide from death in the future, I could be a ghost, so I motioned for him to continue.

He didn't tell me anything directly, but asked me, "Do you believe in the existence of souls in the world?"

I was about to subconsciously answer that I didn't believe it, but when I think back to the strange things that happened recently, I have to believe it now, even if I don't believe it, I can only nod my head and express my belief.

"There are souls in the world, and the reason why people are widely considered to not exist is because they have no way to detect the HUA element, and the HUA element is the substance that makes up the soul, which is what we call spiritual power. Everyone will have HUA elements in their bodies, but the amount of HUA elements in each person's body is different, and people like you and me will see more things that ordinary people can't see because the amount of HUA elements on their bodies is far beyond ordinary people. For example, the gray person just now, it is actually a soul, but that kind of is a bit special, because that form is called a ghost. ”

"After death, the HUA element of ordinary people will condense into a soul, but because of the natural dissipation of the HUA element, they cannot have the memory of life, and the amount of their HUA element is also very thin. The other kind of soul is the kind that dies with negative emotions, and the only soul that is created in this way is instinct and hatred of the living, that is, ghosts. ”

"However, it is not realistic to affect the real world, and if you want to influence it, you must have a certain amount of HUA elements to gather under certain circumstances, but because the number of HUA elements is too scattered in the world, it is difficult to gather together under natural circumstances, so it generally cannot affect the material world, so there will be no large-scale ghost injury incidents......

One thing I was skeptical about was what he said, "in nature...... Hard...... can't influence ......", does that mean there will still be special circumstances?

Seeing my expression, he seemed to have guessed my thoughts, nodded and said, "I said before that ghosts are not enough to harm others because the number of HUA elements is insufficient after death, but when they meet ordinary people with high HUA elements, because ordinary people do not have the ability to control the HUA they have, and cannot control the flow of elements inside and outside the body, and for those ghosts, the instinct will prompt them to absorb the HUA element from those people to the extent that it is enough to affect the living." For example, the gray man I met just now, he was able to push Xiao Li downstairs by absorbing your HUA element, and the madness he showed after seeing you tonight is also normal. ”

I was a little annoyed that he had told me that it was because of me that I had caused harm to others, and I was sad for a while, and suddenly remembered the dagger, and I hurried to ask him if he knew anything about the dagger before he left.

When he heard me mention this, his expression was a little sad, he lowered his head, as if he couldn't say anything, I waited for a long time and didn't see him have a follow-up, it seems that he may not be going to tell me for a while, and I don't bother to talk about myself, anyway, there will be a chance in the future, so I didn't bother him.

After some time, the wind stopped, the rain stopped, and the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and just as I was about to leave, he stopped me.

Just when I was wondering what he wanted to do, I saw that he didn't know what he had thought, and the complicated look on his face began to be relieved, he turned to face me, clenched his fists as if he had made a lot of determination, and said, "Actually, that dagger is ...... Yours. ”,

......!!! "I was stunned, I don't remember that I had this dagger before!

After he said it, it seemed that he had unloaded a big burden, and seeing that I was still thinking nonsense, he patted me on the shoulder and stopped my thoughts, and said: "After death, the HUA element will indeed constitute the soul, but it does not mean that it will exist forever, but will gradually dissipate, and the dissipated HUA element will be attached to different newborn babies again, in a sense, this is the so-called reincarnation." However, because of the unknown reason that occurred in the process of dissipation, the baby does not have previous memories, and what is even more puzzling is that when the dispersed HUA element A and other HUA elements have been attached to another person, the total amount of HUA element in that person is equal to the amount with the largest amount of HUA element in A and B before dissipation......"

He was talking about going off topic, I shook my head helplessly, and couldn't help but interrupt him, and he realized that he had deviated from the topic.

He was a little embarrassed and continued: "Actually, to put it bluntly, it was the knife of your 'previous life', I will return it to you now, if it is okay, I will leave first." ”

"Alas~" I wanted to ask him something else, but he didn't give me a chance to speak at all, turned around and turned into a puff of smoke and flew away

I:.........

When I got home, it was already one o'clock in the morning, and at the end of the day I was physically and mentally exhausted, and after taking a shower, I went back to my room and lay down on the bed to sleep, but I didn't fall asleep right away, I quietly digested what he told me today, and in the analysis of what happened to me in the past few days, in the ticking of the alarm clock at the bedside, I gradually fell asleep......
