Chapter 202 - Obstacle (1/2)
“Who knows you?” Three Yan said in unison, “there are so many Yan in the nether world. No one should know you! If someone like you had known Yan, it would have been widely spread, so we would have known!”
“How could it be! I’ve seen Yan before, and he told me all these things about me and my brother,” shouted Hao Ning, “and he even stayed in my house for many days, eating, drinking and living in my house – we fought together!”
“Have you heard of it?” Niu asked Ma, “there is a Yan who can go to the human world and stay with a living person for a long time. They even have fought together?”
“No…” Ma shook his head, “if there is something like this, it will be widespread.”
After that, Niu and Ma looked at Impermanence Yan but dared not to ask him.
“Oh, I know what happened!” Impermanence seemed to understand. He smiled and explained to Hao Ning, “the Yan you see is not the present one, but one in the future. This one, no, how can I explain it to you? The time and space of the nether world are not exactly corresponding to those of the human world, so maybe Yan in the space and time of the future in the nether world somehow went to find you sometime in the past. So, he knew about your brother’s things. So, you know that Yan and fought with that Yan, but now none of us knows you. Because the Yan you met, for us, is in the future of the nether world.”
It sounded a little messy to Hao Ning, but he thought it was reasonable after careful consideration. He just thought, “but he didn’t want to find me. Didn’t he just want to catch the soul?”
When Hao Ning thought of this, he suddenly realized that Yan said something very strange to him, “I don’t know how it could be you.”
What did he mean by saying how it could be me? Was that Yan looking for me? Why was he looking for me? Was it just a cover to catch the soul?
For a while, Hao Ning was a little confused. He thought about it and asked, “how is my brother?”
“He…” These people looked at each other and had to say, “he’s fine in the nether world.”
“Why isn’t he reincarnated?” Hao Ning was a little anxious. “What does it need?”
“Well…” Impermanence was a little embarrassed. “It needs you.”
“What do you mean?” Hao Ning couldn’t understand Impermanence, “what do I need to do?”
“Because of a mistake,” Impermanence blushed, “part of your brother’s soul is in your body, that is to say, there is a little bit of your brother’s soul in your body, and there is also -”
“Some of my brother’s body cells, right?” Hao Ning smiled bitterly and touched his forehead. “This is called Imbedding Body in biology. In this case, there is no way to cultivate power, right?”
“How do you know?” These three people looked at each other, “what a talent!”
Bullshit, Hao Ning murmured in his heart. This was what the Yan in the future told me!
Thinking of this, Hao Ning was relieved. Since he didn’t know which Yan it was, he didn’t bother about this matter, “what do you say my brother needs me to do in his reincarnation?”
“Well, in the case of reincarnation, the soul needs to be complete,” Impermanence hesitated, “and your brother’s soul is incomplete. It’s very special. We must wait for you to die and return to the nether world again so that we can let your brother reincarnate with you.”
“What are you waiting for?” Hao Ning stood up. “I’ll die now!” After saying that, he was about to hit the wall.
“No, no, no!” Three people hurriedly pulled Hao Ning back, “suicide can’t count! You can’t save your brother in this way.”
“Then you kill me?” Hao Ning looked at these people. “Don’t make me hurt too much. Make it fast.”
“No, no, we can’t. I only heard that ghosts take the soul. I’ve never heard that ghosts can kill people!” The three people waved their hands and only Niu said seriously, “the ghosts in our nether world and the people of the Celestial Empire are in a good relationship. The ghosts in the Celestial Empire love the people, and the people of the Celestial Empire love the ghosts. We are not like barbarians in the West. There are only some demons in their nether world who only want to deceive people’s souls…”
“Yes, the ghost is a serious profession,” said Ma seriously. “The devil belongs to an underworld. It’s not the same thing…”
“The ghosts in the Celestial Empire love the people, and the people of the Celestial Empire love the ghosts…” After listening to Ma’s and Niu’s speeches, Hao Ning knew that the Impermanence Yan told them so. Unexpectedly, the spiritual civilization construction of the nether world was well done, but he was determined to die, so he said, “if you don’t kill me, send me back to the world, and I will find someone to kill me.”
“Big brother…” Impermanence said with a wry smile, “stop that. You are so crazy that you would be put into a mental hospital even if you go back to the human world.”
“Ah…” Ma sighed, “don’t think about it. Live your whole life and die naturally…”
Hao Ning also sighed. People only wanted to live for two more days. There was no one like him who wanted to die immediately. Thinking of this, Hao Ning had to say, “In that case, can I have a look at my brother?”
“It’s just outside, but just have a look.” Impermanence smiled and went out. He took the baby back. Hao Ning looked at the baby in Impermanence’s arms. The baby looked exactly the same as him when he was a child. It was strange that the baby looked at him and laughed at once as if he had seen someone he knew for many years. Then he looked at the baby’s right hand. There were several fingers missing. Hao Ning felt sour in his heart. That night his brother was holding him when Yan pulled him out with great power, so these fingers were broken from his brother and left in his soul.
Thinking of this, Hao Ning suddenly realized something, so he asked, “when my brother touched me, which one of you used your power to pull him out of my body?”
