Chapter 1: The Beginning of Death

()

Pei Jiao is very depressed. If anyone has experienced what he has experienced, then this person will feel depressed...

He died, in a car accident.

Yes, Pei Jiao drove home on a rainy night. Because the rain slipped heavily, and it was a dim and hazy rainy day, even though there were neon signs on the street, in such a hazy heavy rain, his eyes could still see that he could only see ten meters away. So at a corner, he collided with another car coming from the corner. Not only that, he was thrown out of the window without wearing a seat belt and was embedded in the high-voltage substation box on the street. He was burned to coke without a snorkeling. This time, even the gods saved him and couldn't survive.

"Damn, what kind of car is this? What kind of airbags are? If I'm still alive, I'll sue this manufacturer and I must sue the other party until the other party goes bankrupt!"

Pei Jiao was floating about ten meters in the air. He looked at the noisy scene below, and he was still screaming and making noises. When he was thrown out of the car and embedded in the high-voltage substation box, in the moment of pulling, he was already standing outside his body, watching his body burned to carbon without any pain. Yes, he is now very sure that this world has a so-called soul, and now he is looking at this world in a state of soul.

From the start of the car accident to the arrival of the police and ambulance, it only took more than ten minutes. According to the traffic of the city and the current time and weather, these police and doctors are considered respectful jobs, but no matter how respectful they are, Pei Jiao is dead. He can only look at everything below with great depression. From the onlookers keeping calls to the police coming to rescue the people in another car, and the howling ambulance sent the man and woman to the hospital, no one paid attention to his body... Although it has become a ball of coke that is still sparking, he is still a miser. Is there any law in this world? Is there any law of the king?

"Hey, comrades, you can at least get my body out of the high-voltage substation box? If you continue to burn like this, you probably don't have to do anything about those who have plastic surgery on the body. Just rub it and you can be used as ashes... Hello!" Pei Jiao couldn't stand it. He floated down from the air and floated directly to a policeman who looked like the captain, and also roared loudly.

But it was a pity that no matter how loud the sound he shouted, the policeman could not hear his voice at all, but frowned and pondered something, until another policeman came to him and said, "Captain Wang, the identity of the man and the woman had been confirmed just now. Their ID cards were all in their respective wallets. The man's name was Li Mingwei and the woman's name was Lingjiao... The woman was the daughter of the deputy mayor. She had just confirmed her identity through her cell phone. The deputy mayor said he would come immediately and said..."

The policeman named Team King was about thirty years old. He frowned and said, "What did you say? You are talking."

The police looked around, then leaned into Wang's ear and said, "The deputy mayor said, temporarily seal the contents in the traffic camera, and then talk about it when he comes..."

Team Wang's brow jumped, and he also lowered his voice and said to the policeman: "Contact the director immediately and ask him to seal the contents of the traffic camera, and then..."

When Pei Jiao heard this, he felt cold. This was the corner of the intersection. The Transportation Bureau must have installed traffic cameras here to specialize in shooting the illegal vehicles. When the car he was driving colliding with the car just now, the traffic camera must have taken a panoramic view. Logically speaking, such a rainy night, the visibility is so low. Both parties must have responsibility after the collision. But now he died on the spot, and it can be said that the corpse is not there. Then the other party must have to bear most of the responsibility, but it is no big deal. At most, it is just a compensation of money. However, the other party is actually the daughter of the deputy mayor, and the other party must use some unspoken rules... In other words, his family almost won't get any compensation, and they may even beat him and put all the blame on him, the deceased...

Pei Jiao's family is not well off, it can only be said to be a middle- and lower-class family. His parents are both working-class. After the country's economic reforms, his parents have been laid off from state-owned enterprises. Fortunately, his parents are genuine, so they can barely find two jobs to support their families. In addition to him, his family also has a sister five years younger than him. It can be said that this family is just being pulled away.

Because his family situation is not very good, Pei Jiao has worked very hard since he was a child until he graduated from college last year. With his excellent English speaking and knowledge, and his diploma, he is at least a key university, he successfully entered a foreign-funded enterprise and became a lower-level white-collar worker. In this year's hard work, he was promoted from a lower-level white-collar worker to a lower-level manager. He was promoted in just one year. In addition to his hard work, he was also smart. His future is also favored by this foreign-funded enterprise. The company also plans to focus on cultivating him and put his name on the training list for the next year.

Because of this, Pei Jiao can occasionally use the company's vehicles. For example, today's heavy rain. Because he worked overtime in the company until night, he could also drive the car home. The car is actually from the company... If his death cannot be compensated by the other party, his family will bear the repair costs of the car, and there may even be subsequent lawsuits, etc., which makes his family unable to afford it at all, especially if his salary is less than his entrusted, and then his sister who is still studying...

Thinking of this, Pei Jiao felt completely disappointed. When he thought of his parents and sister, and one of them fell in love in college. At this moment, he was a white-collar girlfriend in another city. His heart was so painful that he felt extremely painful. As the saying goes, evil arises from the courage. When he feels extremely painful, he looks at the two policemen who are still discussing how to deal with the car accident. He really wants to kill them immediately.

"Don't you go!" Pei Jiao was in pain, angry, annoyed, and all kinds of emotions were really unrestrained. He finally couldn't help but punch the King Team hard, but what made people even more depressed was that as a ghost, he could only penetrate the body of the human in front of him, without even a touch. This powerlessness and pain made Pei Jiao even more desperate, making him scream fiercely.

"Crack!"

A flash of lightning flashed beside the King Team and the policeman, scaring the two of them almost jumped up, but the lightning just sounded softly and then disappeared immediately, looking a little like a brief spark generated by a short circuit of the current. The two looked at each other and were a few steps further away from the high-voltage substation.

"Xiao Li, hurry up and get the body out. If the substation explodes, it will not be fun..." Wang's team looked at the burned corpse, and turned around and said a few words to the policeman beside him, then shook his head and walked towards the police car.

When the lightning burst out before, Pei Jiao did not notice it because of his emotions. Until the Wang team had already left, he slowly recovered from the despair and grief. Now, he has become a soul, and his body has been burned to carbon. The yin and yang are separated, and everything can no longer be changed. No matter how sad, angry, despair is in his heart, it is a foregone conclusion. Pei Jiao can only accept all this helplessly, but his heart is even more heavy. He feels extremely sorry for his parents who have raised him, but it has caused them to send them a white-haired man to send a black-haired man.

"Go back and take a look at them. Before Hei Bai Wuchang appeared, go and take a look at his parents and sister... It's a pity that Xue Na may not have the chance to see her again in Nanjing..." Pei Jiao sighed sadly, never going to see the police again, just got up and floated to fly towards the familiar streets, where there was his home, his parents, and his sister... This might be the last time I saw them.

As he flew along the way, Pei Jiao gradually calmed down. His current situation sounded a bit incredible. He didn't expect that after a person died, he actually had souls, consciousness and thoughts. He was not a zombie form. Apart from having no body, he was no different from normal people. In other words, many myths and stories in the legend may be true? For example, the underworld may also have the so-called black and white impermanence, and even those gods and the like may really exist...

Thinking of this, Pei Jiao's heart gradually became hot again. He was not a person who was easy to give up. Since childhood, because his family was poor, he studied hard. He never envied and jealous of others' wealth, nor did he ask his parents to buy him any expensive things. It can be said that he has been a tough and strong person since he was a child, and he had a domineering momentum in his heart. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would be willing to try it out in every possible way.

Since the soul is real, then the underworld should probably have it. Regardless of whether there are really gods or immortals, but since there are souls, so many people have died from ancient times to the present, where are their souls? It is estimated that the souls also have a lifespan. Once the lifespan of the soul is exhausted, then it may really disappear even the spiritual consciousness and meaning. However, when the soul is still alive, the souls of these countless people after death cannot disappear in vain, right? They probably will settle down together and form a world similar to the world of the world. If he can enter this soul world first and work hard and work hard to get a family business out, when his parents die, he can let them enjoy a happy life as soon as they die, but this is not unfilial.

Thinking of this, Pei Jiao's heart became even more enthusiastic. He made up his mind to go home immediately to see his parents and sisters, and then go to the world of the soul to work hard. Even though the world of the soul may have different knowledge and worldview, even if the knowledge he learned may not be used, with his hard work, there will always be a day of success, but he is not worried at all. In this way...

It was not until Pei Jiao's heart was settled and had an idea that he carefully looked at the world around him. The world in front of him was no different from the past. The only difference was that there seemed to be black airflow floating above the city. These black airflows looked like chemical airflows caused by environmental pollution. But if the environment was really so polluted that such black airflows appeared, then the government and the news media would definitely not be indifferent. In other words, these black airflows are likely to be invisible to mortals' naked eyes, and only the soul can see them?

Pei Jiao was also curious, but he was a restrained person. Although he probably guessed that this black airflow could only be seen by the soul, he had no intention of touching it. At least he had no intention of this plan for the time being. What if he touched this black airflow and he was immediately teleported to the underworld? What if this airflow was specifically targeting the airflow that devoured the soul? And seeing that it was extremely dark, just looking at it made people feel cold in their hearts. He absolutely had no intention of touching this airflow.

"Go back and see your parents and sister immediately!" Pei Jiao made up his mind. He has been a filial son since he was a child. In addition, he died, and felt more attached to his family. Perhaps it was because of his loss. When he thought that he would never see his parents and sister again, this kind of relationship was even more intense.

Pei Jiao's flight speed was getting faster and faster. In order to get closer, he even flew up to the sky a hundred meters high. When he was still two or three hundred meters away from the black airflow, he stopped and continued to fly near his home. Looking down at the entire city from this height, he was shocked to find the difference.

This is Shanghai, one of the cities with the largest population density for the entire China. When Pei Jiao looked down from mid-air, he actually saw the souls in mid-air. Many souls stayed outside the houses of various residential buildings, and several large hospitals also floated out of the souls. Looking down from mid-air, there were hundreds of souls in the entire Shanghai.

When Pei Jiao was sighing, he suddenly realized that these souls were very different from him. The bodies of these souls were entangled with a trace of black air flow, as if they were unstable Cambodia. And vaguely, the souls in this black Cambodia seemed to be struggling constantly.

Pei Jiao was shocked, and an ominous feeling appeared in his heart. He hurriedly drifted to a soul closest to him. This soul was floating in the area more than twenty stories high in an apartment building. Looking through the black silk, it was about an old man in his sixties, who seemed to be struggling constantly. After Pei Jiao approached him, the old man immediately shouted loudly and said, "Young man, help me get it out of it. These causes and effects will burn to make the skin hurt..."

Sure enough, the old man was excited and wanted to reach out his hand, but as soon as he touched these black silks, a faint blue smoke rose from where his skin touched the black silks, as if a soldering iron was imprinted on the skin, and the contact area immediately became pitch black, and the old man even reached back his hand in a painful humming.

"What are these black silks?" Pei Jiao was even more shocked. He no longer dared to get close to him, and asked loudly about ten meters away from the old man.

The old man raised his head in surprise and said, "Young man, why is there no cause and effect outside of your body? It's impossible. Could it be that nothing has happened to you since you were born?"

Pei Jiao immediately asked, "Old man, what is cause and effect? ​​Are they the black silks wrapped around the surface of your body? By the way, uncle, you are also a dead soul, right? Why don't you go to the underworld?"

The old man looked at Pei Jiao blankly. After a long time, he pointed to the black silk next to him and said: "This is the cause and effect of stealing sweet potatoes from neighbors when he was a child and being hated by neighbors. This is the cause and effect of participating in bullfighting monsters and beating those teachers. This is the cause and effect of fighting with others. This is the cause and effect of owing money from friends and not paying back for a long time. This is the cause and effect of the eldest son being jealous of me and pampering my younger son. This is..." The old man started muttering, pointing to the black airflow beside him and murmured. As he spoke, the black airflow became more and more thick, as if he had gotten nutrients from his memories.

When the old man finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Pei Jiao deeply and said, "Young man, how did you use to liberate yourself from cause and effect? ​​Everyone should be plagued by cause and effect. That is what we experienced when we were still alive. As long as we interact with others, good or evil will eventually be rewarded, and these causes and effects will arise. They are all the gratitude and resentment that others have for themselves. You cannot have something that happened in decades of your life, right?"

Pei Jiao was really shocked and scared when he heard this. He quickly looked around. Sure enough, all the souls in his sight were floating with black air, surrounding their bodies like silk threads, but the surface of his body was empty, and there was no black silk on the body. This really surprised and surprised him.

But the old man continued, "Young man, please get closer and talk. Don't worry, these causes and effects will only entangle the people who get the cause and effect. Even if I want to spread them to you, I can clearly feel that the thoughts retained in it are all things that are blurred in my memory, all of them are my memories..."

Pei Jiao looked at the nearby souls covered with black airflow threads. He was really anxious and afraid, as if he was even goose bumps. He immediately looked around him carefully. It turned out that there was no black silk. He felt relieved and floated three meters away from the old man, but he didn't dare to get too close to him. He just asked, "Old man, how do you know that these things are called cause and effect? ​​And why don't you go to the underworld?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know what these things are, but they are all things I have done in the past and there are so many memories, so I call this thing cause and effect. Didn't Buddhism say that? What causes and what results are not rewarded. The time has not come. Now I am dead. These mistakes I have done in the past are naturally entangled with me. I think this is cause and effect... As for the underworld, I have never seen it. It has been more than ten hours since I died. Why haven't I seen the black and white impermanence come to arrest me?"

Pei Jiao was stunned. He thought it was easy to go to the underworld. It should be something that every soul knew innately, or would go automatically after three or half a moment of death. Who knew that the person in front of him had been dead for more than ten hours and was still trapped here. He looked into the room through the glass window. Sure enough, someone was decorating a mourning hall in the room, but it seemed that he was the one who died today.

"Does it take until midnight to enter the underworld? Otherwise, the souls of the day and day will accumulate, and Shanghai should have many souls. There are only more than a hundred souls in these places, and it looks like the number of people who died today." Pei Jiao said in surprise, and at the same time he also looked around.

At this moment, about hundreds of meters in the sky, there were roughly those black airflows floating in uncertainty. The space there became blurred and twisted, like a vortex appeared on the water surface, rotating and twisting, as if the space had been torn apart. Finally, the space was completely torn apart, revealing the dark unknown world behind it.

At the same time, all the souls bound in the black silk cake roared in pain. The black silk that was originally wrapped around them began to invade into their bodies, and they kept blending in until they were thrown into their bodies. Then these souls began to float towards the sky and were sucked by the large black vortex.

The old man beside Pei Jiao also roared in pain. While these black silks merged into his body, vaguely blurred scale fragments appeared on the old man's surface. Not only that, the old man's body began to expand rapidly. In just a few seconds, his body actually expanded to nearly two meters. When he was in extreme pain, he subconsciously grabbed Pei Jiao's shoulders, and his long nails pierced into Pei Jiao's shoulders.

Pei Jiao felt a kind of soul-breaking pain coming from his shoulders. He immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time turned around and pulled the old man's arm away. But it didn't matter, he actually saw the old man's body expanding and his body began to change. Not only did his body grow taller and bigger, but the expression on the old man's face gradually began to twist, and at first glance it looked ferocious.

"Old man, let go of me. I have no grudges and no grudges. Even if you want to become a ghost, you should go to find someone who has harmed you. Why come to me?" Pei Jiao shouted and pulled away the old man's palm with force. However, the old man was still weak just now, but he was extremely powerful at this moment. No matter how Pei Jiao teared it, he could not move. In this way, Pei Jiao was pulled by the old man and floated towards the black vortex in the sky.

Pei Jiao also saw the vortex in the sky. He was so scared that he struggled even more. For some reason, he was full of fear of the world in the vortex. It seemed that once he entered there, he would never be able to return to the present world. Maybe there was the so-called underworld...

"Let me go! Let go!" Pei Jiao looked at the black vortex that was getting closer and closer to him. He tried his best to struggle, but no matter how hard he struggled, the old man's hand still pulled him tightly, making him unable to move at all. In a moment, the two of them were getting closer and closer to the vortex...

"No!"
