Aoba Office

"Is it really possible? Can you help me?" The man became excited.

"Yes, we can help." Wu Ling answered in the affirmative.

"That's great!" The man almost jumped up with excitement and said awkwardly, "I've been stuck here for too long...I...I've been thinking about when it will end in the past few years...Really, I can't do anything. I can do something, but I can't... I used to joke that you can live with a computer and wifi, but... it's not like that..."

The man lowered his head lonely.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ye, we can help you. Please trust us," Wu Ling said.

"What do you need me to do?" the man asked.

"We need you to come with us." Wu Ling replied.

"Oh, oh..." The man was a little confused, but he still nodded.

Off the screen, there was the sound of someone exhaling loudly.

The man said sheepishly: "I'm sorry for this period of time... I'm sorry, I..." He was so speechless that he couldn't go on.

"It's okay, forget it. I have learned a lot. You...well, I wish you good luck in the future." Yang Fan said.

On May 1, 2014, I sent Ye Xin to the underworld office, but to no avail.

On May 11, 2014, Ye Xin was saved.

On May 11, 2014, the investigation was concluded.

————

I looked at the word "failed" on the file and was stunned for a while. When I came to my senses, I quickly took my mobile phone and called Wu Ling.

Ye Xin's situation is very similar to Yi Huan's experience.

Although Yi Huan's emotions of sadness and despair were not felt from his narration, he was wandering in the world as a ghost, unable to see his relatives and friends. He occasionally saw living people who could find him, but could not communicate with him. After being trapped in this world for so many years, he finally wanted to "commit suicide". It is not difficult to guess what he went through during this period.

The call was quickly connected, and Wu Ling's voice was clear and calm.

On the contrary, I was a little impatient, so I told Yi Huan's matter in a few words, and then asked about Ye Xin's matter.

Wu Ling remained calm after hearing this, "I see. I didn't expect that the object of your ability also contains that kind of spirit."

"Spirit? That is the time after death..." I asked.

"Yes. Generally speaking, after Ye Xin figures it out, he should find a way to reincarnate. Well, it can also be said to be the way to the underworld." Wu Ling explained.

I remembered another incident Aoba handled and blurted out: "That office!"

I remember the name of that file was "The Man Outside the Door". He was an unlucky ordinary person. Because of the decoration worker's mistake, he got the house number wrong, so the ghost did not go to the office in the underworld in the human world, but ran away. I rang the doorbell at his house. That thing was both scary and funny.

"That's actually a signal." Wu Ling suddenly said, "I told you, I don't know when, the identities of ghosts in the underworld have changed. Some people have become ghosts after death, and there are also ghosts. Entering reincarnation and being reincarnated as a human being. Some seniors discovered this, and some seniors discovered that roughly from that time on, there might be something wrong with the manpower of the underworld ghosts, and some things that had never happened before happened. "

"You mean... the situation of Ye Xin and Yi Huan? They should have reincarnated, but they didn't? Can't find a way out?"

I'm very puzzled. In the "people outside the door" incident, those ghosts who were about to be reincarnated calmly knocked on the door. When told by the client, they behaved like normal people.

I have also seen ghost missions twice. As Wu Ling said, they were guiding the souls of the dead.

"Yes. Ghosts have the ability to restrict and guide human souls. Some souls are born with knowledge and are attracted to know the way to the underworld, but some ghosts are not. You can understand that some people are born to be road-crazy, and some are born to be road-crazy. Good sense of direction. According to records, the original responsibility of ghosts was to manage the souls that entered the underworld and arrange for the reincarnation of those souls. Later, when ghosts were born in the world, they also followed them from the underworld to the human world, and they were also responsible for maintaining order in the world. However, it’s dull and inefficient.”

Wu Ling said it seriously, which sounded strange to me.

This is probably because I have never had in-depth communication with ghosts, nor have I ever taken a day trip to the underworld. But I have seen ghosts, and I also have incredible abilities. It is not that difficult for me to accept that there have been people in this world who are much more powerful than me, and they have a deep understanding of the underworld.

"Ghosts are still overflowing in the world. And the work of those ghosts has become a kind of checking for omissions. They may be silently maintaining the order of the world in places where we cannot see. Most people are not aware of their existence. . Only now, hundreds or thousands of years later, when they are short of manpower and a lot of work is done without them, do people discover what they have done before," Wu Ling explained.

"What about the souls of those road idiots?" I asked.

"There is no other way but to look at luck. If you are lucky, if you find an office or meet a ghost, you can be reincarnated, or if you are saved by some capable people, you can also enter a normal reincarnation. If you are not lucky, you can We can only maintain their state. If the people who come into contact with them are unlucky and happen to have their minds twisted, become dark, and turn into ghosts, they will have no choice but to consider themselves unlucky." Wu Ling said helplessly. .

I opened my mouth but couldn't speak.

"The deterioration of this world may have started with the ghost missions and the underworld. The ghost missions were short of manpower, and the ghosts who were supposed to be guided to reincarnation stayed in the world and became evil ghosts. Compared with the past, they were obsessed with things before death. Ghosts that turn into ghosts through thoughts are more rational, more self-conscious, and less likely to disappear on their own. I have an idea, a guess, that the new thing may have evolved from this type of ghost. Of course, this is just a guess. There is no evidence. If this is the case, we should probably give up completely and wait for the birth of a new world." Wu Ling said at the end with a more playful tone.

Her conjecture was not based on thin air, nor was it aimless.

If everyone becomes a soul after death and cannot be reincarnated smoothly, then the world will really change.

The "afterlife" that humans have always "believed in" will undergo earth-shaking changes. There is no heaven and hell, no reincarnation of hell, nor is death the end of everything, dust returning to dust, dust returning to dust, but a group of invisible beings living with them in a place invisible to living people. Living people will die and become this kind of soul after death, but the soul is difficult to be destroyed.

This seems to be a replica of the global aging population problem.

When I thought of this, I couldn't help but think, "Is it because there are too few newborns?"

Happy birthday Qiqi~(づ￣ 3￣)づ
