223. Soul Drain
Death lasted for a moment.
Lying on the ground, Qiao Dui's internal organs began to squirm.
"He's dead!"
Qiao Dui's heart was the first to speak.
"Die, die, yes!"
Qiao Dui's left lung made a pleasant sound.
"How did he die?"
Qiao Dui's bowels squirmed lowly.
"I can't get it, and suddenly it's gone."
Qiao Dui's mind was confused.
Only Jo Dui's blood was trying to circulate.
Some people say that the essence of life is actually continuous chemical reactions, and the essence of human consciousness is the transmission of neural electrical signals, so theoretically a person's consciousness can be simulated electronically.
For Qiao Dui, since he has his own consciousness all over his body, although he is dead, he is still alive.
Qiao Dui's hands and feet moved first, allowing him to get up from the ground and stand at the door of the apartment.
Turning back, Qiao Dui's eyes looked at the apartment.
Qiao Dui's brain thought about it and decided to go back and see the situation first.
Qiao Dui's legs opened, walked into the apartment, thoughtfully closed the iron gate, and took the elevator back to his home.
Qiao Dui's body lay down on the bed and began to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Plop –
With a series of operations, Qiao Du opened her eyes again.
"I just died?"
Qiao Du recalled.
"yes, yes, you just died."
Qiao Dui's heart replied.
"It's been an amazing experience."
He couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time posted a message in the group.
[Qiao Dui]: yes, yes, I just died!
Naturally, at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, no one replied to him.
Jo Twilight began to study her death.
"There are no scars on the body, no lesions on the internal organs, and death comes suddenly, as if the soul had been drained away."
He muttered.
"Is it true that if you break the rules of this apartment, you will die?"
Qiao Du only went out after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and if it was an anomaly here, then it was indeed possible to cause such a result.
After thinking for a moment, Qiao Du decided to experiment.
In his shadow, the ghost bride poked her head out.
"You try to get out of the apartment."
Qiao Du said that although theoretically, the ghost bride is also himself, but the sense of ritual still needs to be there, and it can't be so perfunctory.
"Hmm."
The ghost bride nodded obediently and walked towards the outside of the room.
Taking the elevator, the ghost bride comes to the first floor, she can illustrate her body to a certain extent, so there is no difficulty in passing through the iron gate.
Jo Twilight shares a perspective with the ghost bride and passes through the gate to the courtyard of the apartment.
Nothing happened.
The ghost bride looked back at the apartment building.
Qiao Du immediately saw that blood-red threads were falling from the sky at infinity and distance, and these threads fell on all the residents of the apartment, as well as on the heads of herself and the ghost bride.
He stared at the end of the thread and could only see a huge eye looking down on them.
"There's a problem."
Before Qiao Du could sigh, she saw that the red silk thread on the ghost bride's head was broken.
Suddenly, he felt a powerful suction force trying to drain him from the ghost bride's body, but he was already a ghost bride, so naturally that power was nothing.
[It's trying to suck your soul like drinking juice, storm inhalation!] 】
Only the crimson words were sucked away by the vortex and rose into the infinite sky.
"Suck the soul, so ordinary people will die."
Qiao Dui realized.
"And the ghost bride is already a dead person and has no soul, so it is not affected."
He felt like he had found the answer.
Qiao Du was going to find a scale to weigh tomorrow, because it was said that the weight of the soul was 21 grams, and he had to see if he had become lighter.
If you can lose half a tael by being smacked like this, then Qiao Du can lose more than ten pounds in a year if she is smacked once a day.
The ghost bride retreated into the shadows and soon returned to Jo Twilight's side.
"It's the first time I've seen a soul-sucking anomaly."
Qiao Du thought it was amazing, most of the anomalies he encountered before were actually physical kills, either monsters, or he made the polluted person go insane, but now there is one that can directly absorb the soul.
It's worth investigating.
Not to mention, this happy apartment has not been taken away by Zhou Mingke and them for so many years, and it seems that the security guards and residents here will be affected by the strange rules, which is really a bit strange.
Ordinary people are affected, indicating that the anomaly is shallow, but the way of sucking souls looks like it has been heavily polluted.
Qiao Du immediately spoke in the group.
[Qiao Dui]: Listen to me, listen to me, the apartment I live in is abnormal, it can suck people's souls, I was sucked just now.
After posting this sentence, Qiao Du suddenly thought of an emoji that she had seen when she was surfing the Internet before.
It is a picture of a cat being kissed by its owner and rolling its eyes because it is too cool, and it is accompanied by the text: Soul Absorption.
Thinking about it this way, it's a little cute.
Of course, no one in the group will respond to this point.
This is actually the wisdom of an ancestor here, since Qiao Du can still type and chat, it means that there is no big problem, if Qiao Du has a big problem, then he will not chat and type in the group.
Qiao Du thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing to be done for the time being, plus he was already very tired from moving today, and he died again just now, which consumed a huge amount of physical strength, so he decided to sleep and leave the problem to himself tomorrow.
The next day, in the morning.
When Qiao Du woke up, the residents of the entire building had already started their day's work.
He touched the door of his head, and the feeling of being absorbed by the soul did not seem to dissipate.
Yawning downstairs, Qiao Du took the elevator and stopped on the seventh floor.
The real estate agent, Xiao Li, walked into the elevator.
"How did you feel last night?"
He said hello to Joe.
"It's okay, it's just twelve o'clock when I go out and die once."
Qiao Twilight told the truth.
“?”
Xiao Li looked at Qiao Du suspiciously, not knowing how to answer.
"You're pretty good at this apartment."
Qiao Du commented.
The elevator went to the fifth floor again, and another middle-aged office worker in a suit walked in.
"This apartment is just an elevator, and if there is a fire, the people who live on the upper floors will definitely die miserably."
Qiao Du said as the elevator stopped on the third floor.
Everyone in the elevator looked at him.
Ding Dong –
The elevator reached the first floor, and Qiao Du was the last to step out of the elevator.
As soon as he walked out, he heard Uncle Qin, the security guard, chatting with others.
"Oh, it was haunted last night!"
"Really?"
"Really, the surveillance cameras have captured it."
"Let me be well."
Qiao Twilight heard that it was haunted, and immediately became interested, is it still him Qiao Dui?
As soon as the security guard Uncle Qin saw Qiao Duan, his expression suddenly became strange.
"Why are you still here?"
"What's wrong?"
Qiao Du looked innocent.
Let's take a look at the surveillance.
Uncle Qin, the security guard, clicked the play button of the surveillance video.
