soul seeker

The next day, when Jiang Xu woke up, what caught his eyes was a piece of pure white, then a curtain of blue or blue, and then as his body woke up, the pungent smell of disinfectant penetrated into his nasal cavity.

Thinking of the scene before she passed out last night, she sat up all over, feeling a pain in the back of her head, she subconsciously covered the painful area with her hands, only then did she realize that there was a circle of gauze over her head.

I was lying on the bed in a cubicle separated by two curtains.

Just when she was in a hurry but didn't know who to call, a nurse just opened the curtain and came in.

"Hey, are you awake? Why, is there any other discomfort on your body? Are you dizzy? Do you want to vomit?"

"Did my sister and I have a car accident?" She looked at the nurse with wide eyes, expecting a negative answer in her heart, or the answer that there was a car accident and her sister was lying next door.

"Ah, yes, it was a car accident."

"Where is my sister? The one who looks exactly like me?"

"She's at……"

After hearing the nurse's answer, she opened the curtain like crazy and ran to the emergency room barefoot.

When she arrived, there were only two figures sitting in the long corridor.

Although the appearance belonged to her parents, they seemed to have aged 20 years overnight, which made her feel extremely uneasy and strange.

Her pace became very slow, and she walked over step by step. When she got to them and was about to speak, the door of the emergency room opened, and the doctor with an expressionless face walked out, taking off her mask and explaining the result.

This feeling is very strange, there are no windows on both sides but it is very dazzling, the doctor's mouth is moving, she can't hear but can understand what the doctor is saying.

The sad feeling was much lighter than she thought, and not as intense as she imagined.How should I put it, it's like using a blunt kitchen knife with meaty meat, it's not sharp.

The rusty blade made a muffled sound on the wooden pier through the flesh.

Why are you drinking?Why did you get drunk and drag her to dance after drinking?Why did two people who look the same in the world die while the other was slightly bruised?

After Jiang Mian was discharged from the hospital, these words played in her mind every day as if they were recorded, day and night, and she couldn't fall asleep because of the noise.

Self-blame overwhelmed the pain and penetrated deeply into my heart.

Even the normal physiological reaction of being thirsty or hungry made her blame herself for killing you, so what face do you have to eat or drink?

In just a few days, Jiang Mian's skinny cheeks were sunken.

Lunar New Year's eve.

In the festive atmosphere of the whole city, the tranquility of Jiang's family stands out, like black dots on white paper.

When it was close to midnight, her parents went to bed early. Although they were asleep, they were just thinking about painful memories and staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Jiang Mian, who was next door, huddled herself into a ball and stayed under the quilt, while those words were still playing in a loop in her head and ears.

She hadn't slept for four days and was tired and irritable. She felt that the roof was slowly collapsing, as if it was about to crush herself.Feeling unable to breathe, she suddenly jumped up like crazy and opened all the windows in the room. The cold winter wind blew on her through the windows, which made him feel able to breathe.

Although there is no moon, there is snow on the ground, which looks very bright.She used this light to see the two trees planted for them in the yard. Because they were sweet-scented osmanthus trees, they didn't become bare because it was winter.

in the park.

Wu Ci and Yingchen are ready to start practicing.After these few days, Yingchen's time has finally reached more than half a minute.Even so, Yingchen was still very dissatisfied, because the progress was much slower than he expected.

"Hey, when will I be able to be alone?"

"Generally speaking, it takes about 5 minutes to activate the Hades limit to manage a district."

"5 minutes?!" Yingchen looked at Wu Ci incredulously, "How long will it take to practice?"

"That depends on the individual's aptitude. But generally speaking, it becomes difficult for ordinary people to break through after 1 minute. It can be regarded as a hurdle for practice."

"Then how long did it take you to break through?"

"Cough," Wu Ci said, looking a little embarrassed, "two months."

"Two months?!" Yingchen was first surprised as if struck by lightning, and then squatted there like a deflated ball, "Ah... the air is so fresh, let's go back, don't practice today ...so powerless..."

"Stop talking nonsense and start now." Wu Ci looked at him with a condescending expression.

"Ah, I got it, I got it." Just as Yingchen stood up slowly, the sky was suddenly filled with fireworks, and his ears were filled with the roaring sound.

"It's midnight on New Year's Eve..." Wu Ci looked at the sky full of fireworks, but his expression remained calm.

"It's New Year's Eve... how time flies." Yingchen couldn't help but think of the family that Wu Cicai warned him he had forgotten.

"I said, if you really can't let go, do you want to go back and take a look? Anyway, you are free now."

"No need... anyway, it's meaningless... let's start!" He smiled and turned the red ring.

The roar of fireworks blooming also reached the ears of the couple who lost a daughter.

Along with the rumbling, there was another sound, like a knife chopping something hard.

"What's the sound..." The woman muttered as she got up, turned on the light and walked to the window.

It turned out to be Xiao Mian. She was chopping a not-so-thick tree trunk with a kitchen knife in the yard. Although she was smiling, her tears flowed like a storm bursting a bank.

The woman was about to call out what you want to do, but was stopped by the man behind her.

"Let her go, she'll feel better, and so will we."

In the early morning, in Tongzilou, Yingchen grasped Wu Ci's sleeve as soon as he woke up and asked, "How is it going?! Did you improve yesterday?"

"Yes, two or three seconds." Wu Ci looked at Ying Chen and suddenly smiled.

"What's wrong?" Yingchen was a little confused, "Is there something on my face?"

"No." Wu Ci put away his smile, "Do you still remember what happened before you fainted yesterday?"

"Hmm..." Yingchen dragged her cheeks and began to think back, "I seem to remember that my foot got stuck... and then it disappeared."

Hearing this, Wu Ci started laughing again, "Yesterday your foot got stuck between the branches of a tree. This is the first time I've seen someone hang upside down from a tree to sleep... The wind was very strong yesterday. Da, do you know that you are shaking with the wind?"

"So!" Yingchen yelled at him resentfully, with his arms akimbo, "You just watched me swing around there a few times before you rescued me?"

"Yes, because it's so funny, I can't help but want to watch it a few more times. Alright, you're awake too, let's start practicing." Wu Ci said as he stood up and walked towards the door.

"Tch! I don't believe you didn't make a fool of yourself during practice! By the way...who is the soul seeker who taught you?" Yingchen also got up from the sofa and followed.

"It's a mean middle-aged woman named Er Ji."

Listening to his words and tone, Yingchen could imagine how miserably this aloof Mr. Wu was bullied at that time.

Just as the two of them stepped out of the door, the fax machine in the room spat out the task.

"Well, luckily we didn't go far." Ying Chen followed Wu Ci back to the room, thankful.

Yingchen saw Wu Ci's expression became serious after reading the report, and knew that this time it should not be such a simple task as guiding the soul.

"What? Another evil spirit?"

"Well, it's a tree, hurry up!" He quickly put away the paper and ran out, "Because they just broke through the border, we can still find them now."

"They?! More than one?"

"Well, a pair. They escaped from the next city."

After saying this, Wu Ci didn't say anything more because he was in a hurry.

Before the border.

As soon as Wu Ci and Yingchen arrived, they ran into Bai Jiang and Fan Yingguang who had rushed over from the next city.

"Oh, the evil spirits from your area came here?" Yingchen asked.

"Yes." After Bai Jiang answered Ying Chen briefly, he and Wu Ci started the search, because it was best to solve it before dawn, and there would be more people after dawn.

And Yingchen and Fanyingguang waited for the two of them.

"Have you practiced to this point?" Yingchen saw that Fan Yingguang was also wearing a red ring on his hand.

"Yes."

"Then you are too fast, you have only passed a few days?"

"Oh, that's right, isn't Bai Jiang inhuman! Ah yes, he is a ghost." Xiao Guang rolled his eyes and complained.

"Then how many seconds have you been?" Yingchen arched his arm, "It's the time after that damned ghost possessed."

"Don't mention it, I can't break through in just that damn minute."

1 minute? !Yingchen's heart was bursting, but his expression was still calm, because if it showed on the surface, it would only make him more embarrassing in front of this junior, "So soon?"

"Yeah, Bai Jiang also praised me as a talent for practicing martial arts, no wonder I don't look like a girl! What a man he is! Oh, by the way, you and his progress," Xiaoguang looked at him with raised eyebrows, He looked at Wu Ci in the distance again, "How is it?"

"Ah?" This question stunned Yingchen, who was immersed in the progress of the practice, "W-what progress?"

"Why are you pretending to be stupid!" Xiao Guang patted his shoulder vigorously, "You are obviously blushing, so tell me quickly."

"Uh... I'll go help too, after all, how many people have more eyes?" Yingchen scratched her head and ran away.

"Hey! Are you sure you want to do this! Believe it or not, I'm going out in the world of soul seekers!" Xiaoguang chased after him.

I searched all over the neighborhood, and the sky turned pale, but I still found nothing.

"Forget it, let's stop here today. After a while, there will be more people here, and they will be found if they are crowded. Anyway, if they encounter other borders, they will be notified. Let's delay here. It would be bad if you missed the notification." Bai Jiang sighed helplessly.

"Well, what about you?" Wu Ci also stopped searching.

"Go back with you guys. The higher-ups have assigned tasks in my area to Narumi and Jingyu. This time we are here to catch those two."

"Well, let's go."
