In the sky, a ball of hazy starlight floated. The strong winds in the sky blew violently, causing the starlight to ripple with layers of ripples. It was as if the starlight would be torn apart by the air currents at any moment.
This was the material laws of a different world. The soul was just a ball of energy in the material world. Once it left the protection of the body, it would be annihilated very quickly.
Fortunately, the soul could also grow. It was the materialization of life, spirit, and consciousness. The stronger the spirit, the stronger the soul!
Luo Kai quietly looked up at the starry sky. Just a moment ago, he suddenly felt another kind of existence spying on him. It was different from the telepathy he had felt before. This feeling was incomparably mysterious, indescribable, and inexplicable. It was as if a corner of the legendary door of mysteries had been pushed open.
If he had to explain it accurately, he felt a warning from his past self!
This was a paradox. It was impossible under the rules of space-time. However, the four-dimensional world couldn't be understood using common sense.
Just now, he inexplicably recalled the battle with the angels, and when he recalled it, he felt another existence spying on him.
He wanted to see who was spying on him. His thoughts really crossed the barrier of time and space and saw the existence spying on him!
He saw Princess Xingyun's disappointed and frustrated face. He also saw the Star Elves who looked like they were carved out of diamonds. He also saw the vast and boundless Milky Way.
Later on, he felt waves of weakness. His soul was constantly being depleted and needed to replenish his soul power. It had been a long time since he had eaten.
The images from the past transmitted the scenes of the present to him. Then, could it be possible for his future self to change the present?
The four-dimensional world. A corner of an even more mysterious and complicated world view was revealed. The four-dimensional world wasn't the end of the abstract calculations of mathematics.
Luo Kai stopped reminiscing and also broke the link with the past. He turned his gaze back to the city below.
The physical body could protect the soul from the invasion of the material world. However, it also made it difficult for the soul's characteristics to be fully unleashed.
Now that he was in his soul state, his senses had been enhanced once again. He could even sense every tiny molecule in the air and instinctively analyze the next trajectory. There were millions upon millions of molecules in the air. Even the most advanced artificial intelligence would not be able to do so if he wanted to integrate all of them into his consciousness for analysis. Perhaps only an innate ability that could transcend dimensions would be able to understand all of them.
When he was in a state of high concentration, the entire world seemed to be in a static state for him, allowing him to observe and analyze everything down to the tiniest detail.
In an instant, he found the reason why the ghost could control energy. This ghost didn't come from the Dark Realm of the Underworld, but was a species born in this world.
The life form of the Hungry Ghost Realm was not a soul. It was not a life form formed after the death of a human. Instead, it was a life form evolved from microorganisms.
In fact, it was very easy to understand. In this era of great evolution, all life forms had the opportunity to transcend their own level of life, and microorganisms were no exception.
Generally speaking, bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms were parasites that relied on other species to survive. Corpses were their best nourishment, and they could even absorb the resentment of the dead. Countless microorganisms evolved collective intelligence, forming their own unique thought system.
In other words, the hungry ghosts were evolved from living beings, but they were still living beings. Souls, on the other hand, had surpassed the concept of inherent life. Perhaps it corresponded to the Path of Hell of the Six Realms of Sentient Beings. That was the legendary place of judgment, reincarnation, and the end!
…
Zhang Xiaofang sent Lu Yun to the hospital. She had fainted because she was too weak, but her life was not in danger.
However, Zhang Xiaofang's situation was very serious. He did not feel anything during the intense fight, but when he arrived at the hospital, he realized that he was covered in wounds. His body felt like it was falling apart, so he had no choice but to stay in the hospital.
He made another statement with the garrison. This time, the information that he provided and the hungry ghost that he encountered obviously attracted the attention of the high ranking officials. Very soon, a physiotherapist came to ask for more details before leaving in a hurry.
After a long period of applying medicine and bandaging his wounds, he could not hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep.
At night, Zhang Xiaofang climbed out of bed. There was a tearing pain coming from various parts of his body, followed by a numbing sensation. It made him wish that he could tear off all the clothes on his body.
The hungry ghost that looked like an old woman seemed to carry poison. The doctor said that all the wounds on his body were infected, and the inflammation was very serious.
Thankfully, he was strong, so it should not be a problem. He found a walking stick in the room and walked toward the door. He needed to use the toilet.
Just as he left the room, a round-faced nurse saw him and hurried over to help him. "What do you need? Just tell me."
"Hmm … I need to use the toilet. Where is the toilet?"
The round-faced nurse chuckled. "You are in the intensive care unit. There is a toilet in the room. There is no need to go outside."
Zhang Xiaofang nodded and turned back. It seemed like the garrison had transferred him to the intensive care unit.
After using the toilet, he looked at Lu Yun and stood up again. He walked to the door and asked the nurse who was dozing off at the nurse's desk, "Hello, nurse. Do you know where the girl that I brought today is? I want to see her."
The round-faced nurse nodded in confusion at first, but then she quickly shook her head and said, "No, the doctor said that your injuries are very serious. You need to rest."
"They are all superficial wounds. Look, they are almost healed. Nurse, please help me." Zhang Xiaofang begged.
The nurse hesitated and said, "But it is very late now. Many places in the hospital have turned off their lights. What if you get lost?"
Zhang Xiaofang hurriedly said, "I have a good memory. I won't get lost. Besides, there are many people in the hospital. I can ask them."
The nurse thought for a moment and said, "Hmm … How about this? I will walk around with you. The director gave me this job. I am your personal nurse. If something happens to you, I will be in trouble."
"Then … Okay."
The round-faced nurse walked in front of him and carefully supported him. "You are Zhang Xiaofang, right? I am Zhou Qian. I am a personal nurse in the intensive care unit. If you need anything in the future, just call me."
Zhang Xiaofang endured the pain on his face and propped it up. "Thank you, sister."
It was already late at night. The huge hospital was empty. Only the sound of two people's footsteps echoed.
Zhang Xiaofang didn't see anyone as he walked down one floor. He couldn't help but be puzzled. "There were a lot of people in the hospital during the day. Why are they all gone now?"
The nurse, Zhou Qian, replied, "We are in the recuperation area, so there are very few people.
When they reached the first floor and turned a corner, a cold aura suddenly hit them in the face. Zhang Xiaofang stopped abruptly and turned to look at a room on the side. There was a sign hanging on the door. Room 301.
Even the nurse, Zhou Qian, felt that something was wrong. She couldn't help but shiver. Just as she was puzzled, the door in front of her suddenly opened. The two of them suddenly staggered and fell in.
"Ah, are you okay?" Zhou Qian hurriedly got up and went to help Zhang Xiaofang.
Zhang Xiaofang shielded Zhou Qian behind him and said in a deep voice, "Stay by my side and don't leave." They didn't accidentally fall in. It was a cold aura that pushed them in.
Zhou Qian looked back and found that the door was already closed. She hurriedly tried to open it but found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open it. She was so scared that she curled up behind Zhang Xiaofang and said in a trembling voice, "Is there something strange?"
Zhang Xiaofang was silent for a moment. He slowly turned his head and looked at Zhou Qian. He said coldly, "I don't know if there is anything strange, but what are you?"
The moonlight shone into the room through the curtains. It was extremely dim. Zhou Qian's expression changed slightly. She chuckled and said, "Little fatty, you really have some skills. How did you know?"
Zhang Xiaofang cautiously took two steps back and said in a deep voice, "From the moment we came into contact, your heartbeat has always been at the same frequency. At first, I didn't feel anything wrong. But when you fell, your heartbeat didn't change at all. This is impossible for a normal human. Also, your act of being scared just now really didn't look like it."
"Ah, I forgot about this. Next time, make it more realistic."
Zhou Qian no longer hid her true appearance. Her face turned pale and her pair of big eyes bulged. She looked like a corpse that had been dead for a long time!
