Death is the Beginning 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 was driving home on a rainy night, because the rain was heavy and slippery, and it was a dark and hazy heavy rainy day. Even though there were neon signs on the street, in such a hazy heavy rain, he could only see Ten meters away, and at a corner, he collided violently with another car coming around the corner. Not only that, he was thrown out of the car window without wearing a seat belt, and he was thrown out of the car window abruptly. He entered the high-voltage transformer box on the side of the street, and he was burnt to charcoal without even making a sound. This time, even a **** could not save him.
"Damn it, what kind of car is this? Where's the airbag? If I'm still alive, I'll sue the manufacturer, and I must sue the manufacturer until the other party goes bankrupt!"
Pei Jiao was suspended about ten meters in the air. Looking at the noisy scene below, he was still screaming hysterically. When he was inside the transformer box, he was already standing outside his body in the momentary pulling sensation, watching his body being burned into charcoal without feeling any pain. Yes, he is very sure about this world now. There is a so-called soul, and now I am looking at the world in the state of the soul.
From the time of the car accident to the arrival of the police and ambulance, it only took more than ten minutes. Judging from the traffic in this city and the current time and weather, etc., these policemen and doctors can be regarded as Respectful, but no matter how respectful they are, Pei Jiao is already dead, and he can only look at everything below very depressed, from the onlookers who kept making phone calls, to the arrival of the police and rescued another car The people inside, and the roaring ambulance sent the man and the woman to the hospital, during which no one paid attention to his body... Although it had turned into a ball of coke that was still sparking, at least he Still suffering, is there any justice in this world? Is there still Wang Fa?
"Hey, comrades, you guys should at least get my body out of that high-voltage transformer box? If I keep burning it like this, I guess I don't have to do all the cosmetic and funeral work on the corpse. It can be used as ashes... Hey!" Pei Jiao really couldn't stand it anymore, he floated down from mid-air, and floated directly beside a policeman who looked like the captain, and roared loudly at the same time.
But it's a pity that no matter how loudly he shouted, the policeman couldn't hear him at all, and he just frowned and thought about something until another policeman came to him and said, "Captain Wang , The identities of the man and the woman just now have been confirmed. Their ID cards are in their respective wallets. The man's name is Li Mingwei, and the woman's name is Lingjiao... The woman is the daughter of the deputy mayor. The identity of the mobile phone has been confirmed, and the deputy mayor said that he will come right away, and also said..."
The policeman named Wang Dui was about thirty years old. He frowned and said, "What did you say? You are talking."
The policeman looked around, then leaned into Wang Dui's ear and said, "The deputy mayor said to temporarily seal up the content of the traffic camera until he comes..."
Wang Dui frowned, and he also said to the policeman in a low voice: "Contact the chief immediately and ask him to seal up the content of the traffic camera, and then..."
When Pei Jiao heard this, his heart was already icy cold. This is the corner of the intersection. The traffic bureau must have installed traffic cameras here to take pictures of those violating vehicles. The car he was driving just now coincided with this car At the time of the collision, the traffic camera must have taken a panoramic view. Logically speaking, on such a rainy night and with such low visibility, both parties must be responsible after the collision, but now he died on the spot, and it can be said that he has no bones. The other party must bear most of the responsibility, but it is no big deal, at most a sum of money will be compensated, but the identity of the other party is actually the daughter of the deputy mayor, and it seems that the other party must use some unspoken rules ... In other words, his family will hardly get any compensation, and they may even beat him up and put all the responsibility on him, the deceased...
Pei Jiao's family background is not very good. It can only be said that he is a middle-lower class family. His parents are both working class. Both of his parents have real talents, so they can barely find two jobs to support the family. Besides him, his family also has a sister who is five years younger than him. It can be said that this family is just pulling away That's all.
Because of the poor family situation, Pei Jiao studied very hard since he was a child, until he graduated from university last year. With his excellent oral English and knowledge, plus a diploma, he graduated from a key university, and he successfully entered the university. He became a low-level white-collar worker in a foreign-funded enterprise, and during this year's hard work, he was also successfully promoted from a low-level white-collar worker to a low-level supervisor. He was promoted in just one year. In addition to his hard work and hard work, There is also a reason for his quick mind, and his future is also optimistic about this foreign-funded enterprise, and the enterprise also intends to focus on training him, and put his name on the training list for the next year.
Because of this, Pei Jiao can also occasionally use the company's car. For example, in today's heavy rain, because he worked overtime at the company until night, he can also drive this car home. It belongs to the company... If his death cannot be compensated by the other party, then his family will bear the cost of repairing the car, and there may even be subsequent lawsuits, etc., which makes his family unable to afford it at all. , especially without his salary, so the younger sister who is still studying...
Thinking of this, Pei Jiao felt all hope was lost, and when he thought of his parents and younger sister, and a girlfriend who fell in love with each other when he was in college, and who is now a white-collar worker in another city, his heart ached so badly. As the saying goes, evil comes from the guts. When he was in extreme pain, he looked at the two policemen who were still discussing how to deal with the car accident. He really wanted to kill them immediately.
"Fuck you!" Pei Jiao was in pain, anger, and annoyance. He couldn't vent all his emotions. He finally couldn't help but punched the king team hard. As a ghost, he could only pass through the body of the person in front of him without even touching it. This kind of powerlessness and pain made Pei Jiao even more desperate, and he screamed fiercely to the sky.
"Crack!"
A flash of lightning flashed beside Dui Wang and the policeman, almost jumping up in fright, but the flash of lightning only made a soft sound, and then disappeared immediately, which seemed a little strange. Like the brief sparks generated when the current is short-circuited, the two glanced at each other, and at the same time moved a few steps away from the high-voltage transformer.
"Xiao Li, quickly get that corpse out, it won't be fun if the transformer explodes..." Wang Dui took a few glances at the charred corpse, then turned his head to look at the corpse beside him. The policeman said a few words, then shook his head and walked towards the police car.
When the flash of lightning erupted earlier, Pei Jiao was so emotional that he didn't notice it. It wasn't until Team Wang had walked away that he slowly recovered from the despair and grief. But he has become a soul, his body has been burned into coke, Yin and Yang are separated, everything can never be changed, no matter how much grief, anger and despair he feels in his heart, it is a foregone conclusion, Pei Jiao can only accept this sadly and helplessly. Everything, but my heart felt even more heavy, I just felt extremely sorry for the parents who gave birth to and raised me, but caused them to send white-haired people to black-haired people.
"Let's go back and have a look at them again. Before Black and White Impermanence appears, let's take a look at our parents and sister again... It's a pity that Xuena is in Nanjing, so maybe I won't have the chance to see her again..." Pei Jiao sighed dejectedly, and never looked at those policemen again, just got up and floated to the street he was familiar with, where he had his home, his parents, his sister... this might be the last time he saw Here they are.
Along the way, Pei Jiao also gradually calmed down. His current situation sounds a bit unbelievable indeed. He did not expect that after death, a person actually has a soul, consciousness and thoughts, not the dazed zombie form. , except that there is no physical body, it is no different from normal people. In other words, maybe many myths in the legend are also true? For example, in the underworld, there may also be so-called impermanence in black and white, and even those gods may really exist...
Thinking of this, Pei Jiao's heart slowly warmed up again. He is not a person who gives up easily. Since he was a child, his family was poor. Buy him something expensive. It can be said that he has been a tough and strong person since he was a child, and he has a domineering aura of not admitting defeat in his heart. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he is willing to try everything.
Since the soul is real, then the underworld should also have it, regardless of whether there are gods or not, but since there are souls, so many people have died since ancient times, so where are their souls? It is estimated that the soul also has a lifespan. Once the lifespan of the soul is exhausted, then even the consciousness and meaning may really disappear. But when the soul is still alive, the souls of countless people after death cannot disappear in vain, right? ? It is estimated that they will settle down together and form a world similar to Yangshi. If he can enter this soul world first to work hard and earn a share of the family business, when his parents die, he can let them die. If you lose it, you will enjoy the blessings, but this is not considered unfilial.
Thinking of this, Pei Jiao's heart became even hotter. He made up his mind to go home immediately to visit his parents and sister, and then go to the world of the soul to work hard, even though the world of the soul may have different knowledge and world views, even if The knowledge he has learned may not be useful, but in terms of his hard work, there will always be a day when he will succeed, but he doesn't worry about it at all, so...
It wasn't until Pei Jiao settled down and had an idea, that he took a closer look at the world around him. The world in front of him was not much different from before. The only difference was that there seemed to be black air currents floating above the city. These black airflows look very much like chemical airflows caused by environmental pollution, but if such black airflows are really caused by environmental pollution, then the government and the news media must not be indifferent. In other words, these black airflows are likely to be mortals. What can't be seen by the naked eye, can only be seen by the soul?
Pei Jiao also has curiosity, but he is a restrained person. Although he probably guessed that the black air flow can only be seen by the soul, he has no plans to touch it, at least not for the time being. If he touches this black air current, he will be transported to the underworld immediately, so what? What if this airflow is specifically aimed at the airflow that devours souls? Moreover, the color was so pitch black that it made people feel chills just by looking at it. He definitely didn't intend to touch the air current.
"Go back and see your parents and sister immediately!" Pei Jiao made up his mind. He was a dutiful son since he was a child. Besides, he felt more attached to his family after he died. Perhaps it was because of the loss of his talent. Cherish it even more, thinking that you may never see your parents and sister again in the future, this kind of feeling is even more intense.
Pei Jiao's flying speed was getting faster and faster. In order to take a shortcut, he even flew a hundred meters into the sky. When he was two to three hundred meters away from the black air current, he stopped. He continued to fly towards his home, and looked down at the entire city from this height, only then did he discover the difference in horror.
This is Shanghai, which is one of the most densely populated cities in China. When Pei Jiao looked down from mid-air, he actually saw souls in mid-air. Many souls stayed outside various houses. , There are also souls floating out from several large hospitals. Looking down from mid-air, there are actually hundreds of souls in the entire city of Shanghai.
While Pei Jiao was sighing to himself, he suddenly discovered that these souls were very different from him. There was a trace of black air entangled on the surface of these souls, as if they were all bound in by a loose bond. Vaguely, the soul in this black silk box seems to be still struggling.
Pei Jiao was horrified, and an ominous feeling appeared in his heart. He hurriedly drifted towards the soul closest to him. Looking inside through Heisi, it was about an old man in his sixties who seemed to be still struggling. After Pei Jiao flew close to him, the old man immediately yelled loudly: "Young man, help me get out of it!" , These causes and effects will burn your skin when you touch it..."
Sure enough, the old man wanted to stretch out his hand out of excitement, but as soon as he touched these black threads, a faint blue smoke rose immediately where his skin touched the black threads, as if a branding iron was imprinted on his skin, The area immediately became pitch black, and the old man even stretched out his hand amidst a painful groan.
"What the **** are these black threads?" Pei Jiao turned pale with shock, but now he didn't dare to get any closer, and asked loudly about ten meters away from the old man.
At this moment, the old man raised his head in surprise and said, "Young man, why is there no cause and effect outside your body? Impossible, could it be that nothing happened to you since you were born?"
Pei Jiao immediately asked: "Old man, what is karma? Is it the black silk wrapped around your body? By the way, uncle, you are also a dead soul, right? Why don't you go to the underworld?"
The old man stared blankly at Pei Jiao. After a long time, he pointed to Heisi sadly beside him and said, "This is the cause and effect of stealing sweet potatoes from the neighbor's house when I was young and being hated by the neighbor's house. The cause and effect of beating those teachers, this is the cause and effect of fighting with others, this is the cause and effect of owing money to friends and not paying it back for a long time, this is the cause and effect of the elder son being jealous of my doting on the younger son, this is..." the old man Just muttering like this, he pointed to the black air currents around him and muttered, while he was speaking, those black air currents became stronger and stronger, as if they had been nourished from his memories.
When the old man finished speaking, he suddenly looked deeply at Pei Jiao and said, "Young man, what method did you use to free yourself from karma? Everyone should be entangled in karma, which is what we have when we are still alive. What you have experienced, as long as there is an intersection with others, good or evil will eventually be rewarded, and these causes and effects will occur. They are all gratitude and resentment that other people have towards themselves. Something?"
When Pei Jiao heard this, he was startled and terrified. He quickly looked around, and sure enough, all the souls in his line of sight had black air currents floating around their bodies like silk threads. But there was nothing on the surface of his body, and there was none of the black threads on the soul, which really surprised and surprised him.
But the old man continued to say: "Young man, come closer and talk, don't worry, these karma will only entangle the person who got the karma, even if I want to infect you, because as long as I touch these karma , I can clearly feel that the thoughts I keep inside are all things that are blurred in my memory, all of them are my memories..."
Pei Jiao saw that the bodies of the nearby souls were all wrapped in black threads of air flow. He was really anxious and frightened, as if even goosebumps were popping up. He didn't have any black silk, so he felt relieved, and immediately 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, Buddhist Don’t you say it all? What kind of cause you plant, what kind of result you get, it’s not that you don’t repay it, the time has not come, and now that I’m dead, these wrong things I have done in the past will naturally entangle me. I think this is cause and effect... As for the underworld, I have never seen it, and it has been more than ten hours since my death, why didn't I see that 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 knows innately, or it will automatically go there at 3:30 after death. It had been several hours, and he was still trapped here. He looked into the room through the glass window, and sure enough, someone was decorating the mourning hall in the room, and it seemed that it was someone who died within today.
"Could it be that you have to wait until midnight to enter the underworld? Otherwise, if the souls accumulate day by day, there should be many souls in Shanghai. There are only more than a hundred souls in such places, and it looks like today. The number of people who died within this period is average," Pei Jiao said in surprise, and at the same time he looked around.
And at this moment, in the place about several hundred meters above the sky, there are probably those black air currents floating indefinitely. The space seemed to be torn apart, and finally, the space was completely torn apart, revealing the dark unknown world behind.
At the same time, all the souls trapped in the black silk box screamed in pain, and the black silk that originally only wrapped them began to invade their bodies, merging into them continuously, until the whole body was thrown into them As far as the body is concerned, these souls all began to float towards the sky, being sucked by the **** vortex.
And the old man next to Pei Jiao also screamed in pain. While these black threads merged into his body, faint scales and armor fragments appeared on the old man's body~IndoMTL.com~ Not only that, the old man's body It also began to swell rapidly. In just a few seconds, his figure swelled to a height of nearly two meters. When he was in extreme pain, he subconsciously grabbed Pei Jiao's shoulders, and his long nails even pierced Pei Jiao's shoulders. Among the proud shoulders.
Pei Jiao only felt a kind of soul tearing pain coming from his shoulders, he immediately roared loudly, and at the same time he turned around and pulled the old man's arm away, but it didn't matter, he actually saw the old man The figure of the old man swelled and his body began to change. Not only did his body become taller and bigger, but the expression on the old man's face also gradually began to distort, showing a hideous look at first glance.
"Old man, let me go, I have no grudges against you, even if you want to become a ghost, you should go find someone who hurt you, why come to me?" Pei Jiao called out While talking, at the same time, he tried hard to tear open the old man's palm, but he was still a weak old man just now, but at this moment, he was so powerful that no matter how much Pei Jiao tried to tear it, he couldn't move at all. In this way, Pei Jiao was pulled towards the sky by the old man The black vortex floated past.
Pei Jiao also saw the vortex in the sky, and he was so frightened that he struggled desperately. For some reason, he was full of fear for the world inside this vortex, as if once he entered there, he would never be able to return to the present world. Maybe there is the so-called underworld...
"Let go of me! Let go!" Pei Jiao looked at the black vortex that was getting closer and closer to him. Hold him tightly, making him unable to move at all. In a short while, the two of them are getting closer and closer to this vortex...
"No!"
Pei Jiao yelled loudly, and when the sound fell, he was completely involved in the vortex, and he couldn't make any more sound.
