Su Qingxing was facing chaos, and in an ordinary apartment building not far from the school, Su Ye, Su Qingxing's mother, was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV, living the life of an ordinary housewife.
The theme song of a certain TV series was playing on the TV, so Su Ye, who had a relaxed face, also hummed softly.
The Su family's apartment is located in an ordinary apartment building. Although it is facing the street, because there are many parks around and the nearby neighborhoods are also known as pioneers of greening and civilization, the environment is rare and quiet. Of course, because of the lack of job opportunities for young people to struggle here, it is also called a "sacred place for the elderly" by people in other places.
After watching TV for a while, there was the sound of a key turning at the door of the apartment, and then Su Ye saw her husband walking in from the door.
"Why did you come back so early today?" Su Ye got up from the sofa with some doubts, "It's been a long time since you left work so early."
When Su Qingxing's father walked in, he still had a serious face, but he walked up to his wife as if he was used to it, and gently kissed her on the forehead, in exchange for his wife's beautiful smile.
But then, Su Qingxing's father said something that made Su Ye feel inexplicable.
"He is worthy of being your son... Even if he has no memory, he can discover the flaws of that 'ghost domain' as quickly as possible." Su Qingxing's father walked up to his wife, stroked the cheek that had not left any traces of time, " You have been away for so long, I have forgotten that you were also a master of illusion."
Listening to the series of inexplicable words from Su Qingxing's father, his mother Su Ye seemed to have heard nothing, and still smiled softly and said: "My son's father, I have cooked a little too much for lunch. You have to be responsible for helping to deal with it! Let me talk about it first." , what happened today?"
The two stood facing each other like this, with a gentle smile and a rare softness in the eyes of the other.
"You are very happy, right? I know that seeing that child is the happiest thing for you." Su Qingxing's father looked at his wife in front of him, "It seems that I haven't seen you smile like this for a long, long time. I'm really happy Right? If you were still alive... you would definitely be happier and smile more beautifully than you are now... "
"That child is very similar to you." If there are other people around, they will definitely feel confused about the communication between their husband and wife because of Su Qingxing's father's way of talking to himself, and there may even be a feeling that they are living in different worlds a feeling of.
"But he doesn't laugh as much as you do. Although that child has a good temper and hasn't done any evil, he seems to have never experienced any happy times worth remembering for a lifetime... It can be seen that his life in the underworld is a little different from my imagination." The man frowned.
"If you were still alive, would you really not regret leaving that child in the underworld?" He raised his wife's hand and held it tightly, the temperature in his tone suddenly dropped, "Sometimes I really think you are cruel, You actually left me for that child."
"But don't worry, as long as it is what I promised, I will definitely do it. I promised you that you would not step into the underworld, and you would not go half a step into it. But in order for you to meet, I made a move to let that child come Going to the human world is not a breach of promise." Su Qingxing's father took a step back and looked at Su Ye who was like a doll, who seemed to have no other expression except for a smile.
"But I didn't expect that child to be so weak now, even when he was young, his ability was much stronger than now."
"What's wrong with my husband? You haven't said why you left work so early today!" Perhaps because she didn't get an answer to her several questions, Su Ye moved closer to her husband.
Su Qingxing's father said a lot, and those words sounded like fantasy stories that did not exist in this world. But Su Ye's expression seemed to have not heard a word, and he still said worriedly like an ordinary mother: "That child Qingxing seems to be a little bit wrong today, did something happen at school? Will he be caught by the class?" Did your classmates bully you?"
"Don't worry, no matter how weak you are, you are still my child, and I won't let anyone bully you." Su Qingxing's father didn't seem to feel the weird atmosphere of "cross-server chat" between the two sides, "What's more, the generation in the underworld is not as good as the generation. A tunnel was forged between the underworld and the human world, but among the people participating in that competition, the only ones who have the ability to come out of the tunnel are our children... that despicable kid who made a contract with Qingxing and the one who pretended to be An arsenal and a little guy with colorful hair. By the way, there are also the child's friends, although they are extremely weak, but they can still let the child take them out of the passageway in a semi-conscious state."
"I always feel like I've overlooked something." Su Ye stood in front of her husband, straightening his collar and taking off his tie when he got home and hadn't sat down yet.
"No, in fact, you just forgot a lot of things. If the living Su Ye is standing here now, he will laugh and shed tears because of the reunion with that child, right?"
There was tenderness in his eyes for a moment, but in the next second it was as if nothing had happened, and there was no emotion in his black eyes.
"Unfortunately… "
"You are just a thought body with no use!"
As Su Qingxing's father said, he stretched out his fingers and pressed Su Ye's forehead. At this moment, the beautiful wife who stood there dissipated like smoke and disappeared directly in front of Su Qingxing's father.
When human yearning, regret, and resentment for a certain person reach a certain critical point, they sometimes feel that they have hallucinations, and feel that they can see the person they are thinking or hating no matter where they go...
But that is not an illusion, but a very, very fragile thought body, so weak that a simple flow of air can make such a weak thought body disappear in a breath.
But if in a place with sufficient spiritual power, many people happen to have the same thought body due to similar events. Maybe this thought body will gradually condense and eventually become like a human being.
"There are some dead souls around here who haven't entered the underworld for a long time, because they still have obsessions deep in their hearts that they can't let go of. Those who died unexpectedly resented the murderer who killed them directly or indirectly, so they gradually died for the same reason. Gathered together, the resentment towards the murderer in their residual consciousness finally condensed into a thought body that is exactly the same as that murderer."
"After all, this is where I stay in the human world, and my spiritual power will inevitably be more than other places."
Only Su Qingxing's father was left in the living room, and Su Ye, the thought body that appeared before, had been scattered by him, but he didn't stop talking, and he didn't know who he was talking to.
"The appearance, character, and even the little habits in every move of the thought body come from those who created the thought body, which is the so-called 'subjective impression', so the thought body that looks the same as the murderer may be more vicious than the person himself, Even less human."
Compared with the thought body... it seems more appropriate to call it a complex of resentment.
"Those dead souls don't know that the object of their resentment may have already entered the underworld, or even reached hell. All they want is to use their own hands to take revenge. This kind of obsession transcends everything, making them unwilling to enter the underworld. "
"I heard that the murderer not only killed many people in front of him, but even buried many innocent people with him when he died, so as to make the last moment of his life more vigorous." Su Qingxing's father walked to the window and looked In the direction of the school, "so the thought body, which was very weak at the beginning, became stronger and stronger as more and more ghosts gathered together, and even created a real 'ghost domain' near this street '!"
"Solving such things can be regarded as the child's job. For him, it should be regarded as a very interesting toy, right?"
Su Ye's missing body had disappeared, and Su Qingxing's father also sat down on the sofa, but he was still talking slowly, not minding that there was no audience around him at all.
I don't know if it's because he has a hobby of talking to himself, or he feels that he will become more lonely when there is no sound around him. He made himself a pack of coffee, the simplest supermarket brand, and didn't pay attention to anything else.
"I haven't eaten dinner yet, what coffee are I drinking?" Just after the room was quiet for a while, another thought body belonging to Su Ye came out of the kitchen, holding a fruit plate with water droplets in it, "I cut some fruit for you, you can eat this before dinner."
"Compared to the resented missing body in Huangquan, you are in much more trouble..." Su Qingxing's father looked deeply at Su Ye in front of him, "Why? Why do you still appear no matter how many times you are scattered? In front of me? Why doesn't it slowly disappear with the passage of time like other thought bodies?"
"You came back so early, maybe it's because you miss me?" Su Ye's missing body smiled, and after putting down the fruit plate, he sat directly in Su Qingxing's father's arms, with a gentle and quiet smile on his face. "Your job is really troublesome. It takes more than half a month to go on a business trip. I'm bored at home alone."
"No... Qingxing should be with me..." Si Nianti had a dazed expression on his face.
"Is it my fault?" He stroked Su Ye's long hair with the palm of his hand, "It's obviously a missing body, but it always treats itself as an ordinary human being, and always said that it was uncomfortable to live in the heaven , that's why I tried to put you on this relatively quiet street, didn't I?"
"I even bought this apartment building like those small human beings, but I didn't expect that there would be such a disturbing 'ghost land' on such an ordinary street. It was not only noisy, but also terribly dirty." Su Qingxing's father There was a bit of disgust on his face, "But don't worry, after that child solves Huangquan, peace will return here."
"It's really not peaceful in the neighborhood recently, which makes people a little worried. But even if there are no safety issues, children of this age can't help but make people worry. Dad, do you think the child will encounter some emotional problems at school?" Do Mother's Su Ye started to worry again.
"Don't worry, that child won't notice his emotional problems for the time being. After all, I have caused a lot of trouble for a certain culprit, and he shouldn't show up for a while." The corner of his mouth hooked, unlike It's a smile, but it seems that he is satisfied with the arrangement he made.
If everything was as it is now...
There are fathers, there are mothers, there are growing children...
An ordinary street, an ordinary apartment, an ordinary school...
Unfortunately, everything is just fake.
He tapped Su Ye's forehead again, and another thought body was scattered.
A few minutes later, Su Ye came out of the bedroom again, changed into her clothes for going out, and said to her husband with a smile, "I'm going out to buy some food. It's better to clear away the cold dishes at noon."
"I'll wait for your return."
