Chapter 4 The World

in that far country,
have the same friends as before,

I believe that I can meet him again.

Chen Zifan suddenly opened his eyes.

"Where am I?" he asked in horror.

He found himself standing on the top floor of a building somewhere, his body glowing a faint blue light, even a little transparent.

He felt that his body had become extremely light at this time. He looked around to see what the buildings looked like. It was Futong Building, and there was Lijing Hotel. He seemed to be still in Minghai City.

"Me?" Chen Zifan looked around suspiciously.

But Chen Zifan looked at the palm of his right hand, which was emitting a light blue light, and he knew something was wrong.

Chen Zifan walked slowly towards the entrance of the top floor. He tried to hold the door handle, but was completely lost.

Chen Zifan was shocked!
He tried to hold the doorknob again, but it was empty, "Sure enough."

Chen Zifan sighed.

"According to what Professor Yun said, I should just wait here, my memory will be erased, and then the people in that world will help me restore my memory, but the pill he just gave me can prevent me from being extracted. "Chen Zifan looked at the pill in his hand, and he swallowed it without hesitation.

"Very good, very good, that world does exist, but the burden on my shoulders by Mr. Yun is too heavy, don't put such a big bet on me."

"However, the world! This opportunity is really rare. I have been played by you for so many years, as if I have played Earth Online for 17 years. Now it is time for me to find your bug. That world exists!" Chen Zifan said in this tall building. The top floor of the building suddenly laughed wildly.

"Next, it's my turn to play chess." After laughing wildly, he murmured in a low voice.

"Boy, everything right now is not in my plan, but fortunately you have become a soul now." A voice sounded from the depths of Chen Zifan's heart.

"Hey, anyway, you've seen my experience, don't you care so much?" Chen Zifan laughed softly.

Chen Zifan knew that he was dead, and that he was a soul now. That oneself was right. According to the plan, it was true.

This also explains why he has blue light and his body is extremely light, because he is now in a state of soul.

Death may not be the end, but the beginning.

Humans really have souls. I didn’t believe this before. What would the world be like after death? I shouldn’t stay here forever.

Will there be such things as black and white impermanence or death to pick me up?Ah, when I see Hades, I will definitely punch him. Maybe someone like me will not be reincarnated. I may go to hell.Constant thoughts came out of Chen Zifan's mind.

So far, all he has told himself is the existence of that "world", but he has never described to himself what that "world" looks like.

While he was thinking about these philosophical questions of death, a terrifying scene appeared before his eyes.

A strange-looking creature appeared in the air in front of him, this creature should not be a creature on Earth.
Chen Zifan looked at the creature in front of him. It was huge, with wings and no hair. Its skin, including the wings, was brown. It had no eyes and couldn't see where the ears were. The mouth is full of sharp fangs.

Its head looks a bit like a monster from an Alien movie, but it has flapping wings and limbs with building claws.

"Is this the messenger of death? It looks too scary." Chen Zifan complained inwardly.

"Hey, brother, it seems that what you said is true, you are still there, there is a monster in front of you! I can't beat this guy based on his size!" Chen Zifan tried to wake up the other self.

But got no response.

"It's you tonight!" The monster suddenly made a voice, which sounded strange, as if it was mixed with electronic sounds, and the tone was a little trembling.

the world

Central Soul Destruction Bureau Headquarters
"Report to the director! According to the investigation conducted by the captain of the second team a few days ago, there is a lot of evidence that there is a soul eater in this world, and 7 souls have been killed!" A soldier in a brown military uniform and a beret of the same color stood. Straight, loudly reporting to the old man in front of him.

"Oh, yes, it seems that Soul Eater has also begun to evolve." The old man said, the old voice was majestic and powerful, like a bell that traveled through a thousand years.

"Director, I don't understand what you mean," said the soldier-like figure.
"It's nothing, tell the people from the second team to come over and prepare to destroy the soul eater in this world."

the world

Science and Technology Development Bureau
A long-haired woman in a black short skirt with a proud chest and black lacquer high heels was reporting something to her chief.

"I said long ago that things like Soul Eater are likely to evolve, but those guys in the Soul Destruction Directorate didn't take it seriously, and now it's really a disaster." The person who looked like the director said coldly, he had light brown short hair , Tall, angular face, with round glasses, wearing a white coat, holding a test tube in his hand, the liquid in the test tube is emerald green, he seems to be doing an experiment.

"What do you mean, Director?" the woman asked.

"Did the investigation report say whether the Soul Eater can speak?" the director asked the woman.

"I didn't mention this, it just said that it suddenly appeared in this world and engulfed those souls who didn't have time to reach the inner world."

"Is that so, well, if it can talk, it's troublesome."

"I still don't understand what you mean."

"Yongyin, you've been with me for so long, why haven't your brains improved?" the director teased.

"Let's talk about the problem of the guy's appearance in the world first. If it is really accidental, just send a few captains to the strange circle to find the exit and then close it, but if it is not accidental, did he find or study it himself?"

"Director, what do you mean?!" Yongyin was shocked, and she was speechless for a while, "You mean Soul Eater can think for itself?!!" Yongyin felt incredible.

"That's why I asked you if that guy can talk. If it can talk, then my guess is right. Soul Eater is evolving, and it has evolved the ability to think."

"Then we will face a world-class disaster!" Yongyin exclaimed in shock.

"That's right, once animals can think, they will become powerful and cunning, they will do everything they can to hide themselves from us and will eat a lot of souls to achieve strength, then all of us will be strong. Doomed."

"Hopefully it was just accidentally transferred to the world," Yongyin said.

the present
rooftop of a skyscraper

The monster named Soul Eater was staring fiercely at Chen Zifan, who was in a state of soul.

"Damn, it obviously doesn't have eyes, why, why does it feel like it's looking at me? Does it rely on something like radar to sense objects?"

Chen Zifan looked at the monster in front of him, "Are you an emissary from the underworld? Are you the one in charge of picking me up?"

The monster did not continue to speak, but just stared at Chen Zifan fiercely, and Chen Zifan also stared at the monster.

Suddenly, the skin on both sides of the originally smooth head suddenly burst with blood, and Chen Zifan was stunned. After the blood dried, what appeared was eyes!
It actually grew eyes!
If I hadn't seen this terrifying scene with my own eyes, no matter how detailed the description was, I wouldn't believe it. A crack appeared in the smooth skin, blood spurted out of the crack, and then the eyes appeared in the crack.

"Hahahaha." Soul Eater laughed wildly, "The souls of those people are enough for me to grow eyes. Tonight, you will be the next one."

After saying this, Soul Eater flew towards Chen Zifan, it opened its bloody mouth full of fangs and prepared to swallow Chen Zifan in one bite.

Chen Zifan didn't have time to avoid and could only spread his arms like a cross to protect his head. It was too late, everything was too late, Chen Zifan couldn't wait for the purification of the world and the trial of Libra, he was about to be eaten by monsters like Soul Eater. .

After the death of a person, the soul will continue to exist on the surface world with memories for an hour, and no one can see them.

They can also pass through any object.

Usually the so-called "Mr. Yin-Yang" and "Yin-Yang Eye" in the human world refer to the fact that some people can see the soul due to the specialization of a certain neurological function in the brain.

After an hour, a beam of light that only souls can see will descend from the sky. This beam of light is called the "pillar of holy light".

The soul will gradually ascend with the beam of light until it comes to the inner world.

The outer layer of the inner world has a thin film similar to the Earth's atmosphere.

This layer of membrane is called the "Pure Spiritual Membrane", it protects the inner world from external intrusion, and also has the function of purifying new souls. After that the soul will be purified.

The so-called purification is to eliminate all the memories of this soul during its lifetime.

But Chen Zifan couldn't wait for this day, the soul-devouring giant mouth was about to swallow him, and a second later, Chen Zifan was completely engulfed.

"It's still not enough, we have to find new ones." Soul Eater muttered to himself after swallowing Chen Zifan's soul.

Soul Eater, who was about to turn his head and fly away to find the newly dead soul, was suddenly stunned.

It felt that something was squirming in the body, and then it felt a sharp pain in the abdomen, and Chen Zifan in the abdomen was eating its internal organs! The blue light on Chen Zifan's body became brighter and brighter, and it could even be seen through the belly of the soul eater.

At this time, Chen Zifan's face was grim, his mouth was full of blood, and his eyes were blue. He seemed to be in a state of unconsciousness.

"Ah ah ah!" Soul Eater made a frantic roar, "How could this be, what happened to that soul just now, why can't it be digested!" Its terrifying voice resounded above the sky.

Suddenly, a holy light descended and covered the entire Soul Eater. It was the mechanism of the inner world. The mechanism of the inner world judged that Chen Zifan's soul had not disappeared, so the Holy Light chose to cover Chen Zifan's soul, so Soul Eater was also covered by the Holy Light.

The pillar of light is composed of the light cast by God in the inner world, and it is extremely pure and holy light.

All unknown things will be destroyed when they encounter this beam of light. Only the human souls created by God can be covered by this holy light. Therefore, Soul Eater must never touch this holy light. Once it is illuminated, it will be wiped out.

"Am I going to end like this?" Soul Eater said in pain, "I finally got to this point."

Chen Zifan suddenly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a grass.

Where is this place? I remember just now. Yes! The messenger of the underworld swallowed me up just now, but where is this now? Could it be the world after death? Countless questions popped up in Chen Zifan's mind. The experience of eating the guts of the soul.

"Are you awake?" Chen Zifan, who appeared on the grass, asked tentatively, but got no response.

Chen Zifan instantly calmed down.

"If you guessed correctly, this is the world the old man said."

After thinking for a while, he decided to walk around.

The green grass here is lush, the blue sky and white clouds, the sunshine is excellent, and the occasional breeze blows, which is very comfortable. The heartbeat, unease and two-way emotions brought by anxiety are like a roller coaster, which is swept away by the warm sunshine and wind here.

"It should be here, yes, that guy said that he can come to the underworld after death." Chen Zifan looked around.

"But even if you kill him, you can't imagine that the world after death is like this." Chen Zifan sighed.

He landed on a place where green grass was abundant, but it was a high place. Chen Zifan stood on a high place and looked into the distance, and found a group of buildings in the distance.

"There must be people living there," he thought, and walked quickly towards the building.

The trouble now is why the self in my heart suddenly stopped talking?Is he asleep again?What can I do without him being my guide?
But after so long, even he might be rusty.

When Chen Zifan came to the village, people looked at him in astonishment when they found someone coming, and saw the light blue shimmer on his body.

Chen Zifan seemed to forget that his soul was still shining.

He watched the buildings and people here.

The style of the building is similar to the rural buildings in Europe in the 78 century, with tall chimneys and windmills, the walls are made of gray or brown bricks, and there are occasional wooden buildings.

The uniform windows are wood frame and glass, and the doors have various patterns.

He couldn't tell which dynasty and generation the people's clothes belonged to.

The dress is very similar to the Nordic dress and incorporates a lot of strange elements and patterns.People generally wear very simple clothes. Men generally wear linen shirts and trousers in plain or strange patterns, and shoes are similar to deerskin or cowhide.

Women also wore long linen dresses in taupe or white, some solid or some with strange patterns embroidered on a solid base.Since they were in the countryside, they each wore a white apron, as if preparing for the fire to cook.

He was attracted by the banner in the distance, which stood at the very top of a Gothic church. It was a rectangular banner with a red base and two men in silver knightly armor holding spears guarding the shield in the middle. , the shield is engraved with ornate patterns.
