"Is it really OK? Can you help me?" The man was excited.

"Yes, we can help." Wu Ling gave an affirmative answer.

"That's great!" The man almost jumped up excitedly, and said awkwardly, "I've been stuck here for too long...I...I've been thinking about the last few years when it will end...I really have no way. I can do something, but I can't... I used to joke that there is a computer and can live with wifi, but...but it's not like that..."

The man lowered his head in a lonely state.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Ye, we can help you. Please believe us." Wu Ling said.

"Do you need me to do anything?" the man asked.

"You need to go with us." Wu Ling replied.

"Oh, oh..." The man was a little confused, but nodded.

Outside the screen, someone exclaimed loudly.

The man said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, during this period...sorry, I..." He couldn't continue talking.

"It's okay, forget it. I've gained some knowledge. You... well, I wish you a smooth future." Yang Fan said.

On May 1, 2014, I sent Ye Xin to the office in the underworld, but failed.

On May 11, 2014, he saved Ye Xin.

On May 11, 2014, the investigation ended.

———

I looked at the word "unsuccessful" on the file and was stunned for a while. When I came to my senses, I quickly took my cell phone and called Wu Ling.

Ye Xin’s situation is so similar to Yi Huan’s experience.

Although he did not feel the sad and desperate feeling of Yi Huan from his narrative, he was wandering in the world as a ghost, and his relatives and friends could not meet each other. He occasionally saw living people who could find themselves, but could not communicate. He was trapped in this world for so many years and finally wanted to "death". It is not difficult to guess what he experienced during this period.

The phone was connected quickly, and Wu Ling's voice was very clear and calm.

Instead, I was a little impatient and told Yi Huan about it in a few words, and asked Ye Xin about it again.

After hearing this, Wu Ling was still calm, "So that's it. I didn't expect that the object of your ability also contained that kind of spirit."

"Spirit? That's the time after a person dies..." I asked.

"Yes. Generally speaking, after he figured it out, he should find the way to reincarnate. Well, it can also be said to be the way to the underworld." Wu Ling explained.

I remembered another incident that Aoba handled and blurted out: "That office!"

I remember the name of the file was called "the person outside the door". He was an unlucky ordinary person. Because of the mistake of the decoration worker, he got the wrong house number, which caused the ghost to not go to the office located in the underworld, but instead ran to his house and rang the doorbell. That incident was both a bit horrible and a bit funny.

"That's actually a signal," Wu Ling suddenly said, "I mentioned to you. I don't know when the identity of the ghost messenger in the underworld has changed. Some people became ghost messengers after death, and some ghost messengers entered the cycle of reincarnation and became humans. Some seniors discovered this, and some seniors discovered that roughly from that time on, there might be problems with the ghost messenger in the underworld, and some things that had not happened before happened."

"You mean... Ye Xin and Yi Huan are in this situation? They should be reincarnated, but they didn't reincarnate? They couldn't find the way?"

I was puzzled. In the incident of "people outside the door", the ghosts who were about to be reincarnated all knocked on the door calmly. When the client said that their behavior was the same as that of normal people.

I have also seen ghost messengers twice, but they are guiding the souls of the dead as Wu Ling said.

"Yes. Ghost messengers have the ability to limit and guide human souls. Some souls, born to know, are attracted to themselves and know the way to the underworld, while others are not. You can understand that some are born to be ignorant of the road, while others are born to have a good sense of direction. According to records, Ghost messengers' original responsibilities were to manage the souls entering the underworld and arrange those souls to be reborn. Later, ghosts were born in this world, and they also followed from the underworld to the human world, which was also responsible for maintaining order in the human world, but they acted dull and were inefficient."

Wu Ling said it seriously, and I felt strange when I heard it.

This is probably because I have never had in-depth communication with the ghost gang, nor have I traveled to the underworld in one day. But I have seen ghosts and have incredible abilities. It is not that difficult to ask me to accept that people in this world who have seen much more powerful than me.

"Ghosts are still flooding the world. And the work of those ghosts has become a way to check for omissions and fill in the gaps. They may silently maintain the order of the world in places we cannot see. Most people cannot detect their existence. Hundreds and thousands of years later, that is, now, when they are short of manpower and many of the work are not completed, someone discovers what they have done before." Wu Ling explained.

"Then, where are those souls of the road ill?" I asked.

"There is no choice but to depend on luck. If you are lucky, you will find an office and meet a ghost, and you will be reincarnated, or be saved by some capable people, and you will enter a normal cycle of reincarnation. If you are not lucky, you can only maintain their state. If the person who comes into contact with them is not lucky and happens to encounter their minds and nature is distorted, becoming dark, and turning into ghosts, you can only think that you are unlucky." Wu Ling said helplessly.

I opened my mouth and couldn't speak.

"The beginning of this world's deterioration may be from the ghost messenger, from the underworld. The ghost messenger was short of staff, and the ghost foxes who were supposed to be guided to reincarnate stayed in the world and became evil ghosts. They were more rational, more self-centered, and less likely to disappear automatically by themselves than the ghosts who turned ghosts because of their pre-death obsession. I have an idea, a guess, that new thing may evolve from this kind of ghost. Of course, this is just a guess and no evidence. If this is true, we might give up completely and wait for the birth of a new world." Wu Ling said at the end, with a joking tone in his tone.

Her guess is not a guess out of thin air, nor is it aimless.

If everyone becomes a soul state after death and cannot be reincarnated smoothly, then this world will be really a revamp.

The "after-death world" that humans have always "believe" will undergo earth-shaking changes. There is no heaven and hell, no underworld reincarnation, nor is death the end of everything. Dust returns to dust and earth returns to earth. Instead, in places where the living people cannot see, a group of living people cannot see existences live with them. Living people will die, but after death, they become such souls, but the soul is difficult to be eliminated.

This seems to be a replica of the global population aging problem.
