Shimmer Forest

"By the way, bookworms, why are they all translucent?" Wu Hao poked his head out cautiously, and subconsciously pushed his glasses: "Is it just like this?"

"Of course not." Thinking that his current appearance is really funny, Su Jin laughed at him and explained: "They are not completely alien creatures, but the souls of dead people. So even if they have lenses, they can only see to their outlines."

"So that's how it is..." Seeing those people walking by neatly, Wu Hao felt extremely creepy, and couldn't help but tugged at the corner of Su Jin's clothes: "Bookworm... aren't you afraid?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Su Jin sighed weakly, watching the marching crowd with gentle eyes: "What I see is what they looked like when they were alive."

These people were once alive, and they were familiar people around them, but they were already in a different world.Thinking of this, Wu Hao also felt less afraid.

Quietly waiting for everyone to get on and off the bus, Su Jin, who had been thinking about something, suddenly looked at him and said seriously, "Why don't you get on the bus?"

Wu Hao was taken aback by the question, looked around, and pointed at himself in doubt: "Huh? You mean me?"

"Of course it's not about you." Su Jin shrugged and looked at him like a fool: "As I said, if they deliberately hide themselves, you won't be able to see them no matter what."

Before Wu Hao could react, Su Jin stared at his direction, narrowed his eyes dangerously, and repeated his question again: "Why don't you get in the car?"

Standing beside Wu Hao was a woman who looked to be in her 2s or 30s, wearing a long red windbreaker, her face was covered by slightly curly long hair, only her chapped and white lips could be seen.She was stretching out a hand towards Wu Hao, and realized that Su Jin was talking to him, and she was stunned for a while before she realized it.

"You...can you see me?" The woman seemed to have not spoken for a long time, her tongue rolled slightly, her voice was a little hoarse, full of surprise.

"You probably have someone you want to see, right?" Su Jin didn't answer her, and asked aggressively: "Or, you don't have the right to get on the train at all?"

The woman clenched her fists and bit her lower lip, her body trembling slightly.This state lasted for a while, and she suddenly cried and turned and ran away.

"... Strange person..." Su Jin himself thought she was hostile, but seeing her behavior now is totally different.Then why did she appear here and want to take pictures of Wu Hao...?

"Books, books, nerds?" Wu Hao, who had been left hanging for a long time, was already pale, and stood there nervously, not daring to move: "I, I, my side, yes, is there anything? "

"Well, there is a woman with disheveled hair, but already..." Su Jin replied truthfully, before he finished speaking, Wu Hao ran behind him screaming: "Wow, where is it! "

"...It's gone far away..." Su Jin covered her ears in dissatisfaction, looked at his fuss with amused expression, and said that it had nothing to do with her.

"Huh? Yes, is it?" Looking back at him suspiciously, seeing his narrow smile, Wu Hao quickly jumped away again, pretending to be nonchalant.

"When you were at the bottom of the lake, you weren't afraid of those alien creatures. Why are you afraid of ghosts?" Su Jin couldn't help asking as he dug his painful ear.

"These two are different!"

"What's the difference?"

"Because when you talk about monsters, God, you think of people who are dressed in strange clothes but look beautiful." Wu Hao paused, as if racking his brains for how to describe it: "Speaking of ghosts If you don’t, they’ll all look horrible with disheveled hair and bloodless face..."

"That's all rumors." Su Jin sneered at this: "They are no different from when they were alive."

"That's because you can see them... besides, the image of ghosts has been deeply ingrained in people's hearts, so it's hard to reverse it?"

"It's true. After all, more people see their incomplete appearance, so it is inevitable to take it out of context."

"Incomplete?"

"If you can see clearly, they are all alive." Knowing that the muscular man in the silly hat must not understand, Su Jin continued to explain: "For example, you can only see translucent people getting on and off the bus neatly. But you can’t see that they are actually chatting, talking and laughing, and even greeted me; for another example, when you yelled just now, you could only see those translucent people looking at you, but you couldn’t see that they were actually talking. Whispering and laughing at you."

"What...it's obviously a ghost and you still don't forget to laugh at people..." Wu Hao muttered with some dissatisfaction.As soon as the topic was brought up, Wu Hao immediately became interested, and couldn't help asking: "Speaking of which, why are some people completely invisible to them, while others can only see half of them?"

"How should I put it? In fact, everyone's physique is different. I belong to the type that can see both ghosts and residents of other worlds; there are also a few types that can only see one of them." Su Jin explained patiently: "Of course except One's own ability is also related to the environmental magnetic field or obsession at that time."

"Obsession?"

"For example, if you miss someone very much, that person's soul will resonate and appear in front of you..." The voice of the description became smaller and smaller, and Su Jin's expression gradually became trance: "But why can't I see her?" Woolen cloth……"

"Bookworm..." Although it was an extremely small voice, Wu Hao still sensitively noticed the change in his feelings, and called out cautiously.

"It's nothing." Quickly restrained his emotions, he patted Wu Hao's back hard: "Go home."

Wu Hao's back was in pain from being slapped. He knew that the other party wanted to use this method to reassure him, so he didn't say anything.Just trembling all the way, he and he returned to the village with two teams of translucent people lined up neatly.

The doors of every house in the village are open, and a small red lantern is hung on the beam of each house, like a person waiting to return home.The ghosts following behind gradually dispersed and returned to their home, to the place where relatives were waiting.

Su Jin went all the way to the end of the village, until the last ghost also entered the house.

"Okay, let's call it a day." Su Jin stretched her waist in relief, turned her head, and saw the empty back, with a trace of loneliness in her eyes.

"Nerdy!" Wu Hao hugged him from behind and put his head heavily on his shoulder: "Go to my house to stay at night!"

"It hurts to death, muscular man!" Su Jin was almost strangled by his brute force, but he tried his best not to throw out a punch.After a little struggle, "I'll go home and live."

"Then, I'll accompany you." Ignoring his struggle completely, Wu Hao hugged him even tighter.He knew that Su Jin would insist on going home to live on this day every year.That's because he was still looking forward to, looking forward to his mother returning to that home one night to reunite with him.They must have a lot to say to each other.

Wu Hao's concern is always so straightforward and clumsy, but it makes people feel warm from the bottom of their hearts.Su Jin gently held the arm around his neck, his expression gradually softened: "It's up to you."
