[Zhongyingmei] I continue for 1 second for myself

Above was a purple sky and strangely shaped clouds, surrounded by crystalline mountains.

Most of the open space is covered with flowers and plants of strange colors, forming a natural garden.

In the middle of the garden was a small domed pavilion also made of crystal. Someone was sitting in a corner of the hall with their knees hugged.

"Tell me again, how did I get here?"

The woman has reddish-brown shoulder-length hair. She looks aimlessly at the distant scenery and makes a sound.

The domed pavilion is small, and it can be seen from any angle of the garden, obviously no second person exists.

But there was a voice answering her words: "You met an accident and died in the hospital, I think you pitifully collected your soul and put it into my world, now your soul is almost repaired, it's time to repay you." It's my time."

The woman looked at the closer flower field, and she found herself here since she was conscious.

A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Tell me, how can I repay you?"

"It's very simple, you are willing to give me your soul, and I will take your soul to dominate the earth."

The soul gem had a hunch that his goal would be achieved soon, and silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

When Janna's soul dissipated, it was in the pocket of her body, which was equivalent to knowing all this personally.

As a soul gem, what death can't do, it can do.

It collects Janna's dissipated souls into the small universe in its own space little by little, and then restores them little by little.

It will never admit that it did this because it has had some kind of affection for this human being for a long time, and it is more inclined to desire her soul to help it enter the human world.

To its surprise, her soul seemed complete, but she seemed to have lost a memory.

So it made up a paragraph for her, and designed itself as her savior.

Oh no, it was originally her savior and it didn't care.

"Isn't it okay if I don't want to?" Janna asked.

"I can't control a soul with too much self-awareness, so..." The voice realized that he had missed something in the middle of the sentence, and quickly changed his words, "I am more benevolent, and I will not force others to do what they don't want to do .”

"Oh, is that so?" Janna smiled, "I remember you said a few days ago that you can control undead, why don't you use those things, they don't have any self-awareness, right?"

"That's the truth, but your soul is very special, Janna. She can enter the body of any dying person and make your soul a reality. With your soul and my power, we can do whatever we want."

The soul gem didn't hide its heart, if it was a small animal, it should be spinning around crazily at this moment.

"Do whatever you want? Do you mean ruling the Earth?" Janna asked. "And then?"

"Then, what then?" There was a question mark above Soul Gem's head.

"I mean, rule the Earth, and then what do you want to do? President of the Earth?" Janna had already seen that the Gem Mind was a child in a way.It has no substantive thoughts or evil desires at all, on the contrary, it is simpler than she imagined.

"...How about destroying human beings?" Soul Gem made a suggestion.

After mentioning it, I felt something was wrong. It was obviously the leader here, so it seemed more like asking Janna for advice.

"What's the point? Humans are gone, which means you can do whatever you want on a barren planet. What's the difference between this and what you want to do in your own world?"

"...seems like a bit of bullshit." Soul Gem murmured.

Jana stood up from the armchair on the side of the pavilion, and stepped into the flower field with her bare feet.

"So wait until you figure out what reasonable wishes you have and then tell me."

The question mark above the soul gem's head changed from one to three, extremely aggrieved: How about repaying me if you agreed? ? ?

***

In the fast food restaurant next to the New York City Hospital, a woman with an unhealthy face pushed the door and entered.

On her chest was a strangely shaped orange gemstone pendant.

"This combo, add this bucket of wings, and a big strawberry Christmas."

After she ordered, the waiter looked at her with a surprised look and asked, "Miss, how many of you are there?"

"Two... No, just me." She glanced at the waiter, "Can't one order food for several people?"

"Yes, yes..." The waiter silently prepared.

The woman took a large scoop of ice cream with a spoon and was about to put it into her mouth when she heard a voice in her head saying, "If you eat like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk out of the fast food restaurant with this body."

"I don't care, I want to do whatever I want." Soul Gem stuffed the ice cream into his mouth and swallowed hard.

Really delicious!

The Soul Gem's first request to Janna turned out to be that it wanted a quick meal.

So Janna lent her soul to it.

"Is it just a loan?" The Soul Gem thought it was going to get her soul.

"Yes, as long as I need it, I can get it back anytime." The profiteer Janna was born.

The paramedics in the ambulance announced that the rescue was invalid on the way, and when they arrived at the hospital and opened the car door, the woman lying on the stretcher jumped off.

Then, at a speed that no one could have imagined, he jumped out of the ambulance and headed straight for the gate of the hospital.

"..." The ambulanceman was so frightened that he almost lay down on the stretcher next to him.

And at this moment, this body swallowed the last mouthful of junk food in the fast food restaurant and wiped its mouth.

"Janna, it is true that ruling the earth does not have the enjoyment of eating fast food."

"..."

"Are you finished?" Janna asked.

"It's over." Soul Gem didn't understand Janna's intentions.

"Then it's my turn."

"???"

The moment Janna took over her body, she rushed to the toilet and threw up.

"Ah, what do you want, you are wasting!" The soul gem roared in his mind.

"How many lifetimes have you not had enough to eat? Do you know that people will die of hunger?" Janna felt desperate for this body.

"I haven't eaten." The soul gem was justified before thinking of the crux of the problem, "Why did you steal my body, return it to me quickly, I haven't tried that milk tea shop next door!"

Give it back, it doesn't exist.

Janna returned to the hospital and headed straight for Osiris' original office.

"Hello, is Dr. Theo there?" She walked hurriedly, panting.But when he said this, he was full of anticipation.

"Didn't you forget it all? You lied to the kind me!" The soul gem in the brain jumped.

Janna ignored it.

"Doctor Theo?" The nurse obviously reacted before answering, "This doctor stopped working here last year."

"Last year?" Janna frowned. "What date is it today?"

— August 5st.

Six months have passed since Halloween.

She thought it hadn't been a long time since her death, but has it been half a year?

"Is Nurse Lilith still working here?" As long as you contact Lilith, you can contact Osiris.

"Lilith? Who is she?" The nurse looked confused.

"The head nurse of the inpatient department." Jana was even more confused.

But I heard the cheerful tone of the soul gem: "I don't know demons very well, but I know that this kind of creature in the non-human world wants to be forgotten by everyone, and it is very easy for them."

Janna pursed her lips. Her plan hadn't worked out.

And the nurse, before she could walk away, saw the person who had just finished asking her the question, suddenly fell down in front of her, and then stopped breathing.

The pendant on her chest also disappeared the moment she fell down.

"Not only did I not drink milk tea, I was also deceived by you."

"If you didn't eat so much, that body would die so quickly?"

In the small world inside the Soul Gem, the Soul Gem complained to Janna, and Janna responded dismissively.

If Janna wants to leave this world, she must agree with the Soul Gem.

The soul gem needs Janna's soul, and Janna's consent is required.

The two inexplicably formed a strange symbiosis mode.

But as long as she occupies the body of a dying person, she can gain control of the body with her own will.

"How about a deal?" Janna asked.

"I won't be fooled by you again!" The Soul Gem covered its ears, if it had ears.

It waited for a while, but Janna over there really didn't speak.

"Jana?"

Janna was silent.

"Talk about what deal, what if I agree to it?" Soul Gem cautiously probed.

Janna remained silent.

"Woooooo, I promise you, will you tell me!"

Janna let go, "Every time I lend you your soul, you can do anything, but let me use it for a while after you finish."

"Ask you to find a man?" Of course the Soul Gem knew what Janna was going to do, "How could I agree to that!"

If she found Reaper, it would be crushed to pieces.

"You have already agreed." Janna raised her eyebrows, "And do you think Osiris will do anything to you? You saved me, so naturally he won't do anything to you."

Soul Gem thinks it makes a little sense.

And the god of death, how could it be so easy to see and see it.

When it masters more powerful power, it won't be what Janna says.

As for where this powerful force comes from?

It doesn't know either...

***

From Janna's point of view, after the Soul Gem has a physical body, it looks like a playful child.

Think of what to do.

Strange to say, she never saw Osiris again, not even once, despite the fact that every time she was possessed by someone who was about to die.

She didn't even know whether it was too early to leave, or too late to enter.

She bumped into her once, even though it was just a shadow of Osiris, Janna hoped to stop him.

Before she could make a sound, the other party had disappeared, without even looking at her.

Janna had also been to London, and the suburban villa where she had had psychotherapy had changed hands.

The head of the household is a middle-aged woman. She told Janna that she bought the house at that time and its low price, but she didn't know where the original head of the household went.

The original world has long been unable to satisfy the playfulness of the soul gem.

It shifts its target into the world of superheroes.

So a new super villain appeared in the world of superheroes, and she came and went without a trace.

No one knows what she wants to do, what purpose she has.

Even her appearance, everyone has different opinions.

It has been suggested that she may be another Mystique, who can change identities at will.

There is also speculation that the villain may have a dual personality.

Because he was still a super villain one second, and knocked down his companions who did bad things together to the ground the next second.

The Soul Gem watched its "companion" fall to the ground after being attacked by Janna from behind, and said helplessly, "I finally joined the evil forces in Gotham, and you just ruined my achievements like this?"

Looking at the man in the black bat armor in front of her, Janna raised her hands and told Soul Gem: "Don't excite my friend, I'm making the task easier."

"I don't want to do that," Janna told Batman in front of her, "I just want one thing from you."

"What?" The batgun shot out a binding wire with batarangs at both ends, wrapping Janna's legs around her.

She was forced to fall to the ground in the next second.

"Wajana, can you bear this? Give me your body quickly, and I will let him understand what cruelty is!" Soul Gem yelled at Janna.

"Do not talk!"

Seeing Batman's alert gaze, she realized she had accidentally spoken.

"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you to stop talking." Janna smiled awkwardly, "I just wanted to take a small piece of paper from you."

Little piece of paper?

Bruce Wayne couldn't imagine that there were any small pieces of paper here that would attract criminals.

"What little piece of paper?"

When Batman saw the person in front of him, he showed a familiar smile, and said, "Dr. Siri Theo's business card."

***

Loneliness is a wonderful feeling.

In his long career as Death, Osiris has never felt alone.

He chose to become a doctor simply because the repetitive routine bored him.

After losing Janna, when the heavy pain and sorrow slowly calmed down, he felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness.

It turns out that only when you have gained and lost again can you truly experience this feeling.

From then on, all souls are the same in his eyes, and there will be no special existence.

Little by little, he threw away the identity and substance that he had remembered with Janna.

He knew that his actions were accompanied by the childishness of human beings, but only in this way could he feel better.

Not only him, but even the self-aware scythe, after knowing the news of Janna's death, was very sluggish and often inattentive.

Probably because he missed her too much, his soul harvesting shadows would occasionally see her shadow in some people.

Last time he even saw a woman running towards her, lip-syncing like she was calling her name.He told himself it was all an illusion, that he missed Janna so much.

Osiris leaning against the railing of the Thames.

This can be regarded as the beginning of his thinking about her, and it was also the first time she kissed him proactively.

He felt it was time to say goodbye to Dr. Theo.This identity will only remind him that he failed to save her from death.

And the god of death is himself.

He originally wanted to throw away the cell phone that was Dr. Theo's identity, but there were... a few photos of Janna in it.

Once she found out that there were no photos in his phone, she forced him to take two photos.

As he flipped through the few photos he had, his phone rang.

Caller ID is from the United States.

He also remembered that he once gave his business card to some dark hero in Gotham.

I wanted to hang up directly, but after some hesitation, I still connected.

"Hello, is this Dr. Theo?" A woman's voice came from the opposite side.

"I don't accept work recently, you can find another private doctor."

He was about to hang up impatiently, when the tone of the person on the other side became urgent: "Don't worry, I am the patient who needs you the most."

The patient who needs him most?

"There is no other doctor who can help me, only you." The female voice at the other end begged in a low voice.

"There is no disease in this world that I can't cure. Even if there is, I can't cure it if others can't." Osiris didn't know why he talked so much nonsense with her.

"If the doctor can't help me..." That head paused, "Then what about Death? Can he help me?"

Osiris was taken aback.

In this world, almost no one knows his identity.

"Which Grim Reaper are you talking about?"

But there seemed a little surprised: "Are there other gods of death besides you?"

"Where are you?" He wanted to meet this man himself for a while.

"Is it really okay to put you here alone... Janna?" Batman Bruce Wayne didn't expect that he would meet her again, and she would not be what she used to be.

She told him she was Janna, and she needed a business card for that dinner.

He believed her unconditionally.

On a night of crime in Gotham, Wayne is concerned when young women are left alone outside.

"It's okay." Janna shook her head.

She pinched the gemstone on her neck, this thing can drive the undead.Human criminals can do nothing to her.

But what Janna didn't count was that she returned to the Soul Stone before waiting for Osiris.

Spicy chicken gems.

Janna sat in the flower field in the gem's own world and sighed silently.

She thought she would finally see Osiris, but left him with a dead body.

"It can't be my fault, it took me more than a week to sneak into Gotham's evil organization!" Soul Gem justified.

"Just steal an ATM, you tell me it's an evil organization." Jana smiled.

She decided to calm down, and for the next month she swore she would never let this wayward gem get out again.

The soul gem was silent for a few seconds, and said in a teasing tone: "Actually, there is no way. Do you remember that I borrowed other people's souls to communicate with you face to face?"

"Can my soul leave this space?" Janna heard what he meant.

"I am a great soul gem." The soul gem straightened its non-existent chest.

When Osiris arrived, he saw this scene:

Under the dark curtain of Gotham, on a bench shrouded in flickering street lights, Janna sat quietly surrounded by an orange glowing soul, next to a cold corpse with an orange pendant.

"Jana?" Osiris felt startled in his heart, he couldn't believe it, but hoped it was true.

She tilted her head, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Am I right, am I the only one who can help me?"

Seeing that he was not moving, she stretched out her hands to him again, "What are you doing in a daze, I miss you so much." She looked at him, her eyes were wet, as if tears were about to burst in the next second.

Osiris was silent for a few seconds, then went straight to her and hugged her tightly.

The person he was trying to forget a little bit was now in his arms.

Gradually, he felt a large area of ​​wetness on his chest, and the person in his arms was crying silently.

He raised one hand and patted hers lightly.

When she slowly recovered, she raised her head from his arms, "Do you know that I have been looking for you for a long time, from my world to this world, from England to the United States... How much do you want to get me out of yours? Forget it in memory!"

"Sorry, I……"

Osiris opened his mouth, and just about to start, Janna put his arms around his neck and pressed down his shoulders, and then kissed him fiercely, venting his dissatisfaction in looking for him during this time.

This kiss was fierce and long, neither of them felt tired, from the tip of the tongue to the lips and teeth, licking every part...

As Janna's kiss softened, Osiris slowly took the lead, and he felt himself being filled a little more by the kiss.

With the end of this kiss, the endless loneliness also disappeared.

"I survived because of it." Janna wanted to touch the gemstone on the corpse's neck, but found that she was in the state of a soul, and her outstretched hand passed through the gemstone, and she had no choice but to take it back, " It tells me that I can only stay around the gem and not go too far away."

"What's the price?" Osiris took the pendant off the corpse and hung it in his hand.

"About this, I haven't talked to it yet, but I believe that the kind and great soul gem will not make things difficult for us." Janna smiled.

The soul gem is a little scared: "..."

This seems to be a little different from what it imagined.

"Then I'll talk to it." Osiris squeezed the pendant into his hand.

Soul Gem suddenly felt weak and helpless.

-End-
