After saying this, the me in front of me suddenly became very blurry. I knew that he was about to disappear. Gradually, my vision became dark. When I could see everything around me clearly again, the other me had already returned to his original appearance. He was lying in the glass coffin, motionless. Ah Wei was still standing beside the coffin with a gloomy expression. I walked over and gently pulled him up.
"I already know, and I know what to do next. Let's go!”
Ah Wei looked at me. He should have understood what my other self had told me. He got up and returned to the room full of mirrors with me. We had returned to my world. Although everything around us didn't seem to have changed, my feelings told me that I had returned. I didn't see Seventh Uncle. I didn't know where I had gone. Ah Wei and I stood in the courtyard and found a place to sit down. Without the bookstore, we needed to find a new place to meet. Ah Wei listened to me talk about another matter that I had instructed him to do. He suddenly said,
"I'm not done yet. If you want to find the other half of your soul, you need to collect three wandering souls first. They are human souls, animal souls, and plant souls. They must be willing to be subdued by you before they can be used by you and listen to your arrangements! Souls that you can encounter and subdue are destined to be fated with you!”
I looked at Ah Wei in confusion. What was collecting wandering souls? What did animals mean? Could it be that there were still humans?
" In this world, there will always be dead people or other living beings. For various reasons, souls can't go where they should go. These souls will wander around the world. Slowly, changes will occur. Some are good, some are bad, and some are even dangerous to others. Now, you need to collect three wandering souls to have enough strength and ability to find and take back your other half of the soul.”
"I see. However, I haven't collected all the card spirits yet. Now, I have another mission."
"Ah Wei, let's make a deal first, okay?”
Ah Wei looked at me and seemed to understand what I meant. He slowly nodded and said,
"I understand. Before you find your other half of your soul, I won't mention our relationship anymore!”
I silently lowered my head. I was very grateful that Ah Wei could understand me. Because of what I had just experienced, I changed my mind. However, if everything couldn't be resolved perfectly, I think it would be very difficult for me to face the future between Ah Wei and me!
"However, I will still be by your side at all times to stop you from being with Cheng Yang!”
Ah Wei then said firmly, I didn't reply and changed the topic,
"How should I go? Where were the wandering souls? Or rather, how should I find a suitable wandering soul?”
"Under normal circumstances, there will be more wandering souls in places where supernatural events gather. "There will be more places, such as hospitals and medical schools. We can start from these places.”
"Hospital? Didn't that mean that they all died of illness or accidents? 1？”
" Yes, wandering souls wander in the human world because they don't understand their wishes. In fact, even if they don't understand their wishes, ordinary souls won't stay in the human world. Those who can stay are all very stubborn. Therefore, their abilities will be stronger than ordinary souls. However, collecting them was not a simple matter. You had to help them fulfill their wishes in their previous life in exchange for them to obey you. As for the card spirits, they would appear on their own when the right opportunity arose. When one's soul was destroyed, a card spirit would appear at the same time. This was because as one's strength increased, a magnetic field that could attract card spirits would be produced, making it easier to discover them!”
Since we've already made things clear, I think we should hurry up and take action. Seeing that it was still early, Ah Wei and I rushed back to the city. Because we didn't find Seventh Uncle, we could only leave without saying goodbye. Our destination was the city hospital.
When I arrived at the city hospital, it was already close to dusk. However, there were still many people in the hospital. I didn't know how to feel the wandering souls because I had been to the hospital many times since I was young, but I had never heard of any haunted stories.
He walked all the way to the third floor with Ah Wei. The third floor was relatively quiet. At the innermost part of the corridor was the operating theater. Right now, the surgery should be going on inside. There were many people gathered outside the operating theater. The patients inside should be old people. The people outside looked like his children and grandchildren. They were all waiting silently at the door. Although they did not speak, their faces showed anxiety and fatigue. It seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.
I suddenly felt like going to the washroom, so I asked Ah Wei to wait for me for a while. I turned around and went to the public washroom beside the operating room. After I went in, I realized that there was no one inside. It should be because it was next to the operating room, so no one came. Suddenly, he heard a voice coming from the isolation area.
"Miss, can you help this old woman?”
I was shocked. Later on, I realized that although this floor was an operating theater, it was also connected to a ward. Perhaps there would be patients or family members coming to the bathroom. I walked over gently and was about to push the door of the cubicle, but the door slowly opened by itself. A white-haired old lady slowly walked out from inside. She moved step by step and walked forward with difficulty. She looked at me and said,
"Miss, give me a hand. I want to wash my hands. The doctor made me smell like medicine.”
After hearing that, I quickly walked over and supported the old lady. The old lady looked very kind and wore the hospital uniform. She spoke with a slight accent. She should be from another city.
"Grandma, which ward are you staying in? I'll send you back. Why don't your family accompany you to the bathroom? This place is very far from the ward. Let me send you there!”
The old man washed his hands seriously again and again, but he didn't use the hand sanitizer beside him. He didn't answer my question. Instead, he turned to look at me and asked for help,
"Miss, I haven't taken a bath for a long time. My whole body feels uncomfortable. Look at the cubicle here, you can take a bath. Can you help me?”
I didn't expect the old man to suddenly ask such a question. I was stunned.
"Grandma, let's go back to the ward first. If you don't have family to accompany you, I can help you wash up in the ward. The condition of the washroom there is better than here, and there is very comfortable hot water.”
I felt that perhaps the elderly did not have children or their children were not filial. I suddenly felt my heart ache. Although the cubicle here could be used for bathing, it looked like it had been abandoned many years ago. It was a very honest shower equipment. It should have been used by the doctors and nurses when they were on duty. However, it looked like it had been abandoned for a long time and there was no hot water.
But the old man shook his head and said to me,
"Young lady, this old woman can't walk anymore, please help.”
After saying that, I walked straight in and slowly took off my clothes. I suddenly realized that other than the patient's gown, the old man didn't have any undergarments or underwear. However, I didn't think too much about it. I was afraid that the old man would fall, so I followed him in. I didn't expect the old man to really turn on the shower. There was actually hot water coming out. The old man slowly washed his body. I looked at the old man's body and there seemed to be many traces of transfusion and resuscitation. I didn't know. I quickly helped the old man wash up and sent him back. Sure enough, it was just a simple rinse. The old man dried his body and put on his clothes again. He turned around and said to me,
"Good girl, thank you!"
After saying that, I walked out by myself. Although I walked very slowly, I was already out of the bathroom in a moment of shock. I quickly chased after him, but the old man was gone. In the empty corridor, other than Ah Wei, there were only the family members waiting at the entrance of the operating theater in the distance. I quickly walked to Ah Wei and asked,
"Did you see an old man come out?”
Ah Wei shook his head, obviously not understanding what I was talking about.
"No, it has only been a minute since you went in. No one has come out.”
Hearing Ah Wei's words, I was stunned. That's impossible. I helped the old man bathe inside. No matter how fast I was, it took at least 15 minutes. Why did Ah Wei say that I only went in for a minute? At this moment, I suddenly saw the people in front of the operating theater stand up. It was the doctor who had come out. The family members all surrounded him, but the doctor shook his head and said something softly before turning around to go in. The family members immediately covered their faces and cried. The patient inside must have passed away. I suddenly felt very sad and just watched quietly. After a while, the patient inside was pushed out with a white sheet on it. When it passed not far from me, a gust of wind came from somewhere. The sheet was blown off the patient's face. The person lying on the bed was the old man who was in the bathroom just now!
I was so scared that I screamed. I grabbed Ah Wei's hand and ran downstairs until we ran out of the hospital. When I got into the car, my heart was a little calm and I could speak. I asked Ah Wei to drive quickly and found a very lively cafe. I sat down and slowly told him about my experience at the hospital. After hearing this, Ah Wei said thoughtfully,
" No wonder you asked me that at the hospital. It looks like the old lady's soul wanted to take a good bath before she died. She could not take a hot bath because she knew that she was dead. The old lady would say that it was the smell of medicine. It should be because of years of treatment. Taking a hot bath should be the old lady's wish. Yiyi, you helped the old lady fulfill her wish. I think she should be the first soul you collected!”
Hearing Ah Wei's words, I thought of the old man's kind face and hesitated.
"No, the soul of the old man should rest in peace.”
"Yiyi, you can ask the old man. If he's willing to help you, being able to be subdued by you is also a kind of home.”
Ask the old man? What did he mean? "The old man is already dead. What I saw should be the soul of the old man. If the family of a dead old man wants to take his body away, they have to go through the procedures. During the procedures, the body will stay in the mortuary of the hospital. The mortuary will steal the body again! I'm not going!
Ah Wei seemed to understand my hesitation and quickly explained,
"No, no, no! There's no need to be so responsible. We just need to invite the souls of the old people near the hospital.”
"Soul? Pen Spirit?"
I suddenly had an inspiration and said something like that. I felt that it was disrespectful to my deceased grandmother, so I quickly put my palms together and waved.
"No, but something like that, don't you have a Horcrux? You can just ask Grandma's soul to ask him. Since he's looking for your help, it means that he likes you!”
Although he was a very kind old man, it was still very strange to be liked by the soul of a dead person!
In order to collect souls, Ah Wei and I returned to the city hospital at night. However, we didn't enter the building. Instead, we found a chair in the park outside and sat down. We were prepared to extract the old man's soul. Although we didn't know what to do, I asked Ah Wei. He felt that he wouldn't know even if I told him. There was no other way. He had to improvise. Unexpectedly, before we started, we vaguely saw a person sitting in the pavilion opposite. He was wearing a hospital gown. Although we couldn't see clearly, However, I vaguely felt that it should be the old man we were looking for this time. He should be waiting for me.
I motioned for Ah Wei to wait for me. I wanted to go over myself because I felt that the old man didn't have any ill intentions. I didn't feel afraid. I wanted to go over by myself. I didn't want Ah Wei to disturb the old man's soul. I slowly walked behind the old man. The old man turned around and looked at me. He still had a smile on his face as if he had been waiting for me for a long time. When he saw me coming over, he said,
"Miss, I've been waiting for you for a long time. You're finally here.”
"You, why did you wait for me? Do you know me?”
The old man smiled and looked at me as if he was looking at his own granddaughter. He was gentle and kind.
"Although I'm not educated, I've lived for 80 years. I've seen a lot of things.”
I suddenly felt like crying. I sat quietly beside the old man's soul and listened to his story. When the old man was very young, his husband left. He brought two sons with him. The sons were very hardworking. After work, he brought the old man to the city. Although the old man's son was filial, he also felt very lonely. Two years ago, he was diagnosed with cancer. Today, he was undergoing his third operation. Unexpectedly, he did not wake up again. The old man saw me crying and comforted me.
"Child, don't cry. I've lived enough. My wife must be waiting for me.”
"But if I take you away, will you still be able to see your husband?”
"I will, child. If I can still help you after I die, how happy would that be? I'm very happy that you helped me clean up. If fate allows it, my wife and I are destined to meet.”
Destiny! Why did I hear such familiar words? Fate? It seemed that I had heard people say this more than once that this was my fate!
I gently raised the Horcrux in my hand and slowly pointed it at the old man's soul.
"A soul tool with mysterious power. I will form an alliance with you in the name of the Tarot Alliance's leader. Please help me take away the power of this old man's soul and send her to reunite with her husband!”
In an instant, there was a flash of light. The old man's soul disappeared. He should have been subdued by me. Ah Wei walked over and pulled me into his arms.
"Don't cry. That old man's soul has already gone to reunite with his lover.”
"What? Didn't I collect Grandma's soul in the Horcrux?”
"No, the old man gave his soul power to you and only took away his most beautiful wish. This way, you can obtain the old man's strongest power, and the old man's soul will obtain eternal life. "Yiyi, I hope that every soul you meet in the future will be so kind. The outcome will be so beautiful!”
From afar, I heard the old woman's voice. She was saying, thank you!
I didn't expect that my first soul subduing would be so heartwarming. It gave me a new understanding of my mission. The old man's soul would be of great help to me in the future. I knew that there would be more adventures in the future!#
