Chapter 2: Mysteries about the Soul (1/2)

”What's wrong with you?” Yan looked at me strangely. He didn't seem to know the relationship between me and this man.

Now, I gave up to make sure if this Yan’s identity was true or not. If this was Zhou Yuan's soul, it meant my good friend was no longer in this world. When thinking about this point, I dared not to go further, but could only ask him: ”You mean, what you take was this man's soul?”

Yan looked at me, then shook his head and laughed: ”That's right. Didn’t I tell you before, that when someone dies, I will come to take his soul?”

”When did you take it?” I still had a glimmer of hope.

”Let me see. In the morning, I ate the sliced white chicken, and then had double-skin milk on Upper and Down Nine street, and then drank a cup of Huang Zhenlong. I played two hours of mobile game Srike of Kings...” After a long time of mumbling, he said, ”That's around 3 PM. So the man died around 2 PM.”

”Oh, that's right. It's good.” I patted my chest that indicated I was relieved. Zhou Yuan showed us his design around 5 PM, and had dinner with us at 6 PM. It couldn't be him.

However the ”man” inside the bottle kept yelling at me, but I couldn't hear what he was saying through the bottle.

”This man, hmm, this ghost., alright, this soul seems to want to say something?” I pointed to the bottle. ”Can we hear him?”

He looked at me, then looked at the bottle, scratching his head: ”Yes, but there's a problem if we let the soul be out too long. Hold on.” As he spoke, he reached out one of his fingers and drew a few patterns towards the ground, and then carefully opened the bottle. The soul came out, stood on the ground, and started crying when he looked at me, ”Hao Ning, it's Zhou Yuan. Save me! They wanted to kill me! ”

”What?!” I jumped up from the bed in shock. I thought of all possibilities, but they seemed illogical. I shouted at the soul, ”You're lying! In the afternoon, Zhou Yuan showed me his design, and had dinner with me at night! ”

”That's not me, oh no, that's me too,” Zhou Yuan was extremely anxious and he did not know what to say. ”Hey, how can I explain it to you?”

”Oh, I got it.” Yan said thoughtfully, ”Did you make some sort of deal with someone? Like agreeing to improving your spirit or something? ”

”....” When hearing the words, the soul in front of me kept silence for a moment, and his eyes also started to avoid something. I looked at him anxiously. After thinking for a while, he said, ”I did, but not to optimize my spirit, but to make my skills better …”

”Hahahaha, you deserve it!” Yan gloated while laughing loudly on the sofa. Looking at his heartless and careless look, I started to believe that this guy was a demon. I heard Yan sneered: ”Isn't that the same? There is no such thing as a free lunch. ”

”Shut up,” At this time, I wasn't afraid of offending Yan anymore. Looking at Zhou Yuan, I asked word by word, ”Just what happened in the afternoon, and why do you want to improve yourself? Explain it in details.”

”Alright …” ”Zhou Yuan lowered his head, as if he was recalling something.” I went to Sister Lan, poof, that evil woman's place in the afternoon. There was also a similar patten in her room.”

”This is definitely not the same thing. This is a Spirit Convergence Array, and that must be a Fallen Soul Array. Although they look a little similar, if you watch carefully, there are still some differences. Your insights are really very bad, ”Yan took over the conversation and stop talking when he found that I was glaring at him. He gestured towards Zhou Yuan and said,” You go ahead, and you say. ”

”I don't know what they spelled, but I fainted after drinking a glass of water. When I woke up, I found myself in a cage, and there were large rabbits around me. After a while, the cage opened, and I saw myself walk over from far away.”

”Wait! You saw yourself walk over? What do you mean? What's all this nonsense? ”I frowned and was confused. I hurriedly asked, ”You are yourself? How could you see yourself walk over? ”

”I don't know. I was scared at that time, and I wanted to yelled for help but there was no sound at all. At that time, myself came over, grabbed my ear, lifted me up, and finally cut my neck with the kitchen knife. Then I lost consciousness. When I realized what was happening, I had entered this man's, this…”

Yan saw that Zhou Yuan didn't know how to call him, so said, ”Just call me Yan.”

”I enter Yan's bottle, and then I saw you,” Zhou Yuan said and pointed at the glass bottle. ”Next, is what happened just now.”

Although Zhou Yuan had explained it clearly, I became more and more confused. Zhou Yuan's soul had seen a bunch of huge rabbits, and then saw himself come over. What story was it? Why did it sound like Alice in Wonderland? When I thought of this, I couldn't help pinching my legs to make sure I wasn't in dream, and the pain made me grimace.

”I got it. Perfect scheme, and perfect trick!” Yan couldn't help jumping when he looked at our puzzled expressions. He explained, ”What Zhou Yuan saw wasn't an extremely big wild rabbit. If I'm right, the soul in front of him had already been stuffed into a wild rabbit's body. So you were a rabbit at that time.”
