Chapter 001 Mysterious Old Man

Everything was as usual. Chen Fei happily prepared breakfast for his girlfriend in the small house he rented when he got up early in the morning. He had been doing this kind of life for more than half a year.

His girlfriend is Xia Ke, and he is both a sophomore at Nanling University. She is a local person. Since they fell in love, they have basically been inseparable from him and are very sweet. The two have already planned a bright future, made an appointment to graduate together, take the postgraduate entrance examination together, then get married, and have children...

However, things were not satisfactory. Just this morning, while Chen Fei was cooking, a gas leak occurred due to the gas tank in the rental house being too worn, causing a serious explosion.

"The two people died, the man was Chen Fei and the woman was Xia Ke. They were both college students from Nanling University. It was initially determined that the cause of death was a gas explosion." A policeman was reporting to the captain at the scene of the crime...

The bright moon was hanging high, and there were more horror and gloomy in the hospital at 2 a.m. The nurse on duty could no longer resist the fatigue and was sleeping soundly on the table.

On the second floor of the underground, the morgue, Chen Fei felt that this sleep was very long. At the moment the gas exploded, he clearly felt the heart-wrenching burning sensation, which was so painful that it was suffocating. Why didn’t he feel this feeling now? Was he going so soon? By the way, there is Xia Ke. She was still sleeping in a daze when the explosion. I wonder how she was doing?

Thinking of this, Chen Fei suddenly opened his eyes, but only saw a vast white area. He wanted to brush away the cover in front of him with his hand, but found that his right hand could not touch the white curtain. Chen Fei was shocked, what's going on?!

He sat up suddenly, the white curtain blocking his eyes disappeared, and the furnishings in the room also came into view. Looking around, Chen Fei's gaze finally froze on the bed next to him.

Chen Fei got up and got out of bed easily, only to find that there was no gauze or scar on his body, and even the clothes he wore during the explosion were not damaged. The cold air drifted in the room, but he couldn't feel the chill.

Chen Fei looked at all this, a sense of fear came from the heart. The familiar scene and surprising state made Chen Fei gradually understand his situation. Chen Fei tried hard to pray that it was not what he thought. It was very likely that this was an absurd dream?!

However, without giving Chen Fei a chance to comfort himself, the three big words "The Mortuary" on the guide sign inside the door rushed into Chen Fei's sight impatiently. "This is impossible!" Chen Fei shouted, and he staggered and fell to the ground. The hospital bed that was supposed to block his body also penetrated through his body. Chen Fei was completely scared this time. He trembled and supported his upper body with his arms. At the angle of sitting, he saw that there were a pair of feet on the bottom of the white cloth. There was a small paper sign hanging on the ankles, with two boys "Chen Fei" clearly written on it.

Chen Fei sat on the ground for a long time, but he had not yet accepted this nightmare, "Is he dead?" A college student and an atheist actually turned into an innocent ghost. It was really horrifying!

Chen Fei wiped away tears with his hands. Of course, he couldn't shed tears now. This was just a conditioned reflex when humans cried. He stood up shakingly and walked towards another bed. He wanted to see if that was the person he thought. However, Chen Fei could not touch the real thing now, and the white cloth in the other bed was covered tightly, so he couldn't confirm his doubts.

Chen Fei had to determine who the person in this bed was! I don’t know how long it took, just as Chen Fei was in a daze in the dark morgue, there was finally a noise in the corridor outside, and two tightly wrapped doctors pushed the door open and entered.

"Chen Fei, Xia Ke, these two families have signed and can go to cremation tonight." A doctor pointed to his and the bedside bed and said. Hearing this, Chen Feiang burst into tears. The man was indeed Xia Ke.

Chen Fei waited until evening, when it was getting darker, and the cremation car drove away the bodies of the two. Sitting in the car, Chen Fei repeatedly thought about the past between Xia Ke and him, so warm and sweet. However, God had to destroy all this so cruelly. He also resented himself, hating his carelessness that caused the tragedy.

Chen Fei finally saw the broken faces of himself and Xia Ke just before the cremation was about to be cremated. He finally accepted the fact that he and Xia Ke were dead. He squatted alone in a corner, looking at his relatives who were crying heartbrokenly, and felt indescribable. Is it lonely or afraid? Chen Fei himself couldn't tell.

The cremation ended soon. Seeing his urn taken away by his family, Chen Fei originally wanted to follow him, but he still didn't go back in the end. What can he do when he goes back? They can't see themselves, and they can't touch them. In everyone's eyes, they are already an absolute dead person.

The cremation room, which was crying just now, gradually became quiet as the crowd dissipated, and the silence was enough to make any ordinary person feel scared.

"Come with me." Suddenly, an old and dry voice fell to Chen Fei's ears. Chen Fei turned his head and saw an old man with gray hair and a hunched body standing behind him.

"You talk to me?" Chen Fei asked in surprise. Someone could see him.

"Nonsense, you are the only one who is with me, not telling you, was it with me?" The old man turned to Chen Fei and muttered. After saying that, he didn't say anything else, so he turned around and left. Chen Fei hesitated for a moment and followed closely.

After turning several turns, the two of them walked to the door of the dressing room with the words "There is no more decorations" in the room, only some makeup props were placed in messy place.

After entering the room, before Chen Fei could speak, the old man spoke first. "Are you surprised why I can see you? Do you want to ask me why I am in my current state?"

Chen Fei nodded vigorously, and the old man was exactly what he wanted to ask.

"Actually, I did your death." The old man said lightly.

After hearing this, Chen Fei opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Really!?"

"This is only a few things for me, and I can't lie to you." The old man continued.

"My grass, mud horse!" Chen Fei was furious and rushed towards the old man violently. When he heard that his death was caused by the old man, his inner anger arose.

"Pa" I heard a sound of fingers, and Chen Fei, who was flying, was frozen in his entire body. The old man slowly fixed his sleeves: "Young people are manic and don't listen to me finishing their words. Wouldn't you let you die a few years earlier!"

When Chen Fei heard the old man say this, he became even more angry. What does it mean to die a few years ago? "Xia Ke and I have no affair with you, why do we harm us?" Although the old man fixed Chen Fei's body, he could still speak.

Seeing Chen Fei's hysterical look, the old man suddenly realized and said, "I didn't let that little girl die. Don't be too irritable. Even if you pounce on me, you can't touch me. If you want to know the reason, I will put you down and stand for me to listen?"

Chen Fei didn't say anything, just said no, and he had no choice in front of this old man now.

Seeing Chen Fei quiet down, the old man snapped his fingers again, and Chen Fei regained his ability to move freely. The old man opened his mouth and said, "That girl is destined to die yesterday. If I don't interfere, the thing should be that the little girl cooked you breakfast yesterday morning, causing an explosion and died on the spot. Although you survived the explosion, you left a lot of sequelae. After almost five years of persistence, it should be reported below."

After hearing the old man's words, Chen Fei looked confused. Is it really as the old man said?

The old man glanced at Chen Fei's puzzled eyes and continued, "What I said is true. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Of course, you can leave immediately and continue to be your lonely ghost. When the time to wait for your time in five years, there will naturally be someone to pull you down and reincarnate. However, I still want to remind you that no one else can see you, and it takes a lot of courage to be a lonely ghost." After that, the old man turned around and turned his back to Chen Fei, as if waiting for Chen Fei to make a decision.

After listening to the old man's words, Chen Fei thought for a moment and asked, "Then what's the purpose of asking me to die early?" Since it was really as the old man said, Chen Fei thought he would never do this for no reason.

"It's okay to tell you this now. I'll let you die in advance, it's your blessing. I didn't expect that you, a little baby, was so ungrateful, and even scolded me for being an old man. If you want to go back to the past, you'll be distracted." As he said that, the old man also glanced at Chen Fei.

Then he continued: "In the following years, many people who have not yet died of life have died unjustly. They cry and cry their parents and call their wives all day long. A large number of ghosts who should have been reincarnated are trapped in the world. We suspect that evil things in the world are causing trouble. So, we decided to come up and check it out, but because we are too busy with work and shortage of manpower below, we decided to find a few helpers here. So, you are very lucky. The next few years will be unforgettable for you in the next few years!"

After hearing so much, Chen Fei probably understood. The old man asked him to die early and wanted him to help him do things: "What you are talking about is the underworld, is the underworld?" Although Chen Fei had guessed the origin of the strange old man, he still couldn't help asking.

"The underworld, right? How about it? Have you thought about it? Are you willing to be a lonely ghost or follow me? I don't have much time to spend with you."

Chen Fei thought to himself: Instead of being a lonely ghost and helpless, it is better to help this old man find out the facts so as not to be a victim of more innocent people. It can be considered as making some contributions to this society after death.

"I, agree," Chen Fei decided.
