Chapter 4, Return to the Earth
"Zhang Cheng" said "Yeah", and then said with a bright look: "So I think, since you can see me and appear in the Nine Netherworlds, maybe you can help me eliminate the obsession in my heart, so that I can truly go to the underworld and fight for that opportunity to be reborn in the first line of life."
Li Muran seemed not to see the expectant expression of "Zhang Cheng", but pondered for a while and said, "I don't know whether I have this ability or not. I just have a problem now. I hope you can tell me how I can go back? If I can't even go back, then it's useless to say anything else."
Speaking of this, "Zhang Cheng" was stunned for a moment, then shook his head honestly and said, "I really don't know this. I just found that you suddenly saw me, but I wanted to talk to you on a whim. I don't know what happened. You even came to the Nine Netherlands. I'm still dizzy until now."
When "Zhang Cheng" said this, Li Muran was also stunned. This "Nine Netherworld Land" is definitely not where he originally lived. If he could live in a place where he was in a ghost, then it could only be the underworld. Therefore, this "Nine Netherworld Land" should be in an underworld. His current state is very similar to the soul leaving his body as mentioned in some supernatural novels, otherwise he would not be able to come to an underworld.
Although this situation happened very strangely, Li Muran has accepted this fact until now. However, he originally thought that "Zhang Cheng" brought him to this place and should be able to send him back. Unexpectedly, he actually heard such an answer. This is too scammed!
Seeing that Li Muran looked a little unkind, "Zhang Cheng" was so clever that he didn't speak, and the atmosphere suddenly became dull.
Li Muran is very upset now. The fear and confusion of being a ghost at the beginning, but later the novelty of communicating with "Zhang Cheng" would have long disappeared. If he had been trapped here, who would take care of Qingya in the future? Therefore, when Li Muran thought of this, he felt powerless.
Seeing Li Muran standing there, "Zhang Cheng" had an idea and blew a gentle breath next to Li Muran. A small ball of white mist flew lightly to Li Muran, forming the shape of a chair, and then it quickly condensed. "Zhang Cheng" pointed to the chair and said in a somewhat flattering manner: "Siyan, oh no, Brother Li, you should be tired after standing for so long. Please sit and rest first!"
Li Muran looked up at "Zhang Cheng", but in the end he did not refuse his kindness. With the mentality of being at peace since he came, he sat up all over. Seeing Li Muran accepting his kindness, "Zhang Cheng" floated over happily and became a little more, and also turned into a chair and sat opposite Li Muran.
Only then did Li Muran notice that the place he is now is so empty. In such a large area, there are only two "people" and two chairs, which looks extremely sad. Thinking about the words "Zhang Cheng" said before, Li Muran suddenly felt a little sad. There was no place to live well when he was a human being (Zhang Cheng was basically sleeping directly on the sofa in the Internet cafe at that time). Unexpectedly, he was still so miserable!
Therefore, Li Muran pretended to be very casual and asked: "Don't you need to live in a house now? Why don't you change one? Didn't your family burn it for you?"
"Zhang Cheng" smiled bitterly and said, "Where can you live there! In this place, in order to keep our souls from being destroyed, we try our best to use our soul power as little as possible here. Although our soul power can slowly recover in the Nine Netherlands, there is too much soul power used to maintain a big house, and I can't bear to leave it." "Unless those ghosts who know that their souls are about to scatter, they will set up a beautiful house to satisfy themselves before they scatter. Perhaps at that time, I may not necessarily do this."
"Also, my mother probably doesn't know about my death, so she won't burn anything for me at all. What's more, even if she really knows, she will burn something for me. I can't receive it here. So for us, the lonely ghosts, wanting to live in a beautiful house, is only a luxury for us."
I only heard that in reality, housing prices are expensive, such as tens of thousands of yuan per square meter. Even Anyu County, a small county with an economically undeveloped economy, has always been high. Unexpectedly, even the ghosts in the underworld cannot afford to live in a house.
Li Muran was silent for a while and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know that's the case. Also, I heard you mentioned soul power just now. What is that?"
"Zhang Cheng" explained: "It is like this. Soul power may also be called mental power. Mind power is related to human spirit. The stronger the mental power, the stronger the soul power. If it is people with innate lack of energy and spirit, such as those babies who died just after birth, they don't even have the chance to become lonely ghosts after death, so I'm not too pitiful."
Li Muran smiled "hehe" and said, "You are quite optimistic. By the way, what are your wishes? I can see if I can help you. Anyway, I don't know how to leave here now, so it's okay to listen first."
"Zhang Cheng" nodded, showing some joy, and then said solemnly: "My biggest wish is to help my mother treat her eye disease, and I have almost made up the money. But I didn't expect that before I could achieve it, I was like this."
After hearing this, Li Muran felt a little heavy. He was trying hard to save money to make up enough for the elegant operation. Isn’t that the same? The two of them are no different in terms of their relatives.
Therefore, Li Muran nodded and said, "If this is the case, as long as I can go out, I will help you fulfill this wish and fulfill your filial piety."
The moment Li Muran responded to "Zhang Cheng", Li Muran felt the black mark on his chest move, and a moment of enlightenment immediately arose in his heart, as if he was about to leave here. And a 42-second hint appeared in his heart for some reason. There was still some cold breath around him slowly penetrated into his body, making him feel very comfortable. Is this another situation?
At the same time, "Zhang Cheng" was also shocked, feeling that he had formed an extremely wonderful connection with Li Muran, and also received that strange 42-second prompt.
"Zhang Cheng" reacted quickly and said to Li Muran in surprise: "Brother Li, do you feel the countdown prompt? Just beep, is this saying that you can leave the Nine Nether Land?"
Li Muran nodded and said, "I guess yes, I'll know later. It's not long anyway."
"Zhang Cheng" also nodded. Before he could speak again, he felt a strong suction force coming from Li Muran in front of him. "Zhang Cheng" roared and turned into a wisp of blue smoke, sank into Li Muran's left chest and disappeared.
Li Muran immediately shouted, "Zhang Cheng! Zhang Cheng!" At the same time, he also touched his left chest, looking shocked. If Li Muran was in that mood now, he would find that he was shocked almost more times today than the total of the previous 28 years.
However, although he discovered such an emergency, in order not to be dizzy again, Li Muran half-squatted on the ground, pressed his hands on the ground, posing a classic "terminator" appearance, because from a physics perspective, such a posture can serve as a buffering protection for the body and avoid injuries caused by violent vibrations.
When the countdown prompt was finally completed, Li Muran felt his body tremble. When his body was about to rise into the air, out of an instinctive reaction, Li Muran's hands changed to grab, as if he wanted to resist the inexplicable pulling force acting on him in this way.
The process was very fast and there was no trouble. When Li Muran's soul returned to his body again, he suddenly realized that there was a piece of black mud on his palms. This also made Li Muran a little amused. Unexpectedly, the souvenir he brought back from the Nine Netherlands for the first time was actually two muds!
