My god, this old man is no human being!

What evil spirits have I encountered every day? Not a single person I've met is alive.

However, compared to Su Mingyang behind me who was single-mindedly trying to kill me, I still felt that the old man was more reliable.

Although he is also that kind of dirty thing.

"Aren't you leaving yet?"

The old man selling sweet potatoes saw me standing there dumbfounded, and his expression suddenly changed.

Half of his face appeared to be torn apart by an invisible force, instantly becoming distorted and drooping, revealing the red muscles and white bones beneath.

Several steel bars pierced straight through his cheeks, one end protruding from his cheekbone and the other from the corner of his mouth, a horrifying sight.

At the same time, many bloody holes suddenly appeared on his body, and thick blood gushed out, flowing down his body and pooling on the ground into a dark red pool of blood.

Ghosts have three faces.

One side is what happened before death, another side is what happened after death, and yet another side is the horrific state of being immediately after death.

The old man's current appearance must be a snapshot of the moment he died.

Having lost my [Earth Soul], I have a weak sense of fear, and seeing the old man's terrified appearance, I didn't feel much of a stir in my heart.

After all, I had seen those giant corpses when I worked at the funeral home before, and compared to that, the old man's appearance wasn't the most terrifying.

I forced a smile and said, "I feel at ease and safe with Grandpa."

Upon hearing this, the old man threw his head back and burst into laughter.

As he smiled, his face slowly returned to its previous kind expression, as if the terrifying scene had never happened.

"Not bad, little brat. You've got the style I had back in the day. Before I go, I'll protect you this once more!"

As the old man talked, he slowly pushed his cart forward, calling out, "Selling sweet potatoes..."

I followed behind the old man and secretly glanced back, only to see Su Mingyang following far behind.

Its only eye was fixed on me, yet it dared not take a single step closer.

The old man seemed to have guessed what I was thinking and said calmly, "With me here, he can't hurt you, but it might be different next time."

Upon hearing this, my face immediately plastered with a fawning smile, and I hurriedly said, "Sir, could you please help me get rid of him? Or is there any way to stop him from following me?"

The old man listened and slowly shook his head: "I do have a way, but I can't use it right now. If you want those evil spirits to stop bothering you, you'll have to find your soul."

I scratched my head, looking puzzled, and said, "Grandpa, I lost my [Earth Soul] when I was a child. I've tried many methods, but I can't find it back."

“It’s not the [earthly soul], it’s that you need to find all two souls and three spirits, otherwise no one can save you.” The old man looked at me with deep eyes and a solemn tone.

"ah?"

I was immediately dumbfounded and filled with doubt.

I always thought I had only lost my [earth soul], but this old man said I've lost both my souls and three spirits?

"Don't you believe me?"

As the old man spoke, he casually broke open a sweet potato, handed me half, and then asked, "What's your name?"

"Chen Yan!" I blurted out without thinking.

The old man's eyes widened suddenly, and he said loudly, "Young man, don't you know you can't just tell a ghost your name?"

Well……

It then dawned on me that not only should I not casually reveal my name to ghosts, but I also had to be careful about it when working at a funeral home.

Because once spoken, the deceased may remember it, causing unexpected trouble.

I smiled awkwardly and explained, "Sir, you feel just like my own grandfather. You're so kind to me that I accidentally said too much."

The old man snorted coldly and sneered, "Don't you know it's all nonsense?"

As soon as I said that, I was speechless and didn't know how to respond.

Before I could even catch my breath, the old man pressed me for more information.

"Do you still remember where your home is? What's your grandfather's name? What have you been through lately?"

I quickly replied, "Of course I remember."

This time, however, I was more cautious and didn't rush to say it.

"You really remember?"

The old man gave a meaningful smile: "Tell me, where do you live?"

"My home..."

I had just opened my mouth when I suddenly froze, my mind went blank, and I couldn't remember where I lived.

This doesn't seem to be the first time this has happened.

wrong!

When was the first time?

I tried hard to recall, but my mind was a complete mess, with only a vague impression.

It's like having a bizarre dream at night, and remembering it clearly when you wake up in the morning, thinking that you'll tell your friends about it after you've eaten.

But when it came to actually speaking, she couldn't remember anything. She only remembered having a dream, and nothing else.

"See, you don't remember, do you? You may look like a person now, but you're just an empty shell. I can possess you anytime I want. Do you think those filthy things won't come after you then?"

The old man pushed the cart as he walked forward.

I hurriedly asked him, "Then where should I go to find my soul?"

The old man chuckled: "Besides the [Earth Soul], while your memory isn't completely lost, try to recall where you were frightened or what places you went! That's where your soul is."

Where have I been frightened?
