I heard that I’ll be super fierce after my death - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Remnant Soul
Since it was after office hours, the hospital’s atmosphere was somewhat cold and cheerless.

The two humans and a ghost went to the lift’s entrance on the fifth floor. After the lift came up, Shi Qiuhong directly walked into it.

Just when she was preparing to press the 1st-floor button, she saw Lin Wu and ‘Lu Shaoyan’ standing outside the lift, she couldn’t help but feel confused. “What’s wrong?”

Lin Wu didn’t dare to enter. He carefully asked Xiao Qin, “Is the lift full?”

Xiao Qin glanced at the lift’s interior and nodded. “It’s pretty full, to the extent where there’s almost no more space.”

“Cough, let’s walk down the stairs then.” Lin Wu immediately suggested.

“Sure.” Xiao Qin nodded.

“…”

After hearing their conversation, Shi Qiuhong felt a little dumbstruck. A chill surfaced in her heart as she glanced at her surroundings. Evidently, she was the only one here in the empty lift.

“That…can I ask what do you mean by it’s pretty full?” Shi Qiuhong cautiously asked.

“It means that the lift’s capacity has been reached,” Lin Wu truthfully spoke.

Xiao Qin pointed to Shi Qiuhong’s right side, “There’s an old uncle standing on your right. From the looks of things, he should have died due to cancer. His complexion is so bad.”

She then pointed to Shi Qiuhong’s left side and calmly continued, “On your left, there’s a beautiful young woman. Eh…she can be considered quite pretty I guess. It’s just that her face seemed to have been crushed by something; it’s all flat now. Hey younger sister, stop glaring at me.”

“And right in front of you, slightly to the left, there’s…”

Even before waiting for Xiao Qin to finish speaking, Shi Qiuhong was so afraid that she hurriedly rushed out from the lift. Her charming face couldn’t help but turn slightly white. She glared at Lin Wu. “You clearly knew there were many ghosts in the lift, why didn’t you tell me?”

“You entered so quickly, how can you blame me?” Lin Wu rolled his eyes.

“You should have told me earlier in any case.” Shi Qiuhong gritted her teeth.

She also didn’t dare to grumble about this superstar with the yin-yang eyes. As for Lin Wu, he had teased her before and their relationship was clearly closer in comparison. Hence, she could only blame Lin Wu.

Lin Wu couldn’t be bothered with her. He furrowed his brows. “However, there’s something strange. Why are there so many ghosts crowding inside the lift?”

“Let me ask.”

Xiao Qin walked toward the lift’s entrance and blocked the automatic lift’s doors. “Oi, why are all of you gathered inside the lift?”

Lin Wu and Shi Qiuhong naturally couldn’t hear anything. But Xiao Qin also fell silent, she didn’t ‘translate’.

After a while, Shi Qiuhong involuntarily asked, “What did they say?”

“They are ignoring me.” Xiao Qin shook her head calmly. She then spoke again, “None of you want to talk with me?”

There were still no movements.

Naturally, no matter how noisy it was, Lin Wu and Shi Qiuhong wouldn’t be able to hear it.

After some time, Xiao Qin turned and shook her head toward them. “Alright, don’t need to ask anymore. I think these ghosts weren’t formed from obsessions. They are merely remnant souls and would disperse after a while.”

“Remnant souls?” Lin Wu was puzzled.

“Yup, as I was saying, how could there be so many ghosts.”

Xiao Qin shook her head and explained, “Ordinary ghosts are also known as roaming ghosts. Because their obsessions haven’t completely died down, they are very rare. Malicious ghosts are the same. It’s just that their negative emotions are stronger, which is why they are terrifying and even rarer. As for these ‘people’ in the lift, there might be some reason that prevented their souls from completely dissipating, leaving behind their remnant souls.”

“Are they a threat?” Lin Wu curiously asked.

Xiao Qin shook her head and spoke, “Roaming souls still have their obsessions and targets for their action. But these remnant souls are like wooden blocks. They are not capable of thought and don’t know how to do anything. They can only wait for time to pass before they dissipate.”

A flash of understanding appeared in Lin Wu’s mind.

No wonder when Xia Bing attacked him, these ghosts in the lift had no reactions. They were basically ‘vegetable’ ghosts (ghosts in a vegetative state).

“But something is wrong…”

Shi Qiuhong was frowning. “When I was in the morgue, I was clearly grabbed by many ghosts. Could it be that the ghosts in the morgue are all roaming ghosts? I thought you said roaming ghosts are rare?

“We will know once we head down.” Xiao Qin shook her head.

“Let’s go down then.”

Although the remnant souls in the lift wouldn’t move and had no threat, Lin Wu and Shi Qiuhong were both unwilling to be in the lift with a bunch of ghosts. They naturally chose to take the stairs.

As for Xiao Qin, because she herself was a ghost, she was also unwilling to squeeze inside the lift with a bunch of them. She also took the stairs.

After a while, the two humans and a ghost walked down and arrived at the hospital’s basement one.

After passing through a long corridor, Shi Qiuhong finally stopped at the morgue’s door. She was somewhat nervous as she said, “We’ve arrived.”

She bent her waist slightly, while she input the code to open the lock, she also spoke, “The password would change after a while. If it’s two days later, I will have to ask around for the new password. Luckily, you guys came quickly.”

“You can even find out the password to enter the morgue?” Lin Wu was bewildered.

“My father is the vice-chairman of the hospital,” Shi Qiuhong weakly stated.

“…” Lin Wu was speechless.

After opening the door, the three of them entered the morgue.

A mysterious chill permeated the atmosphere. Not only was the air temperature low, but there was also a faint gloomy coldness that seeped into the bones.

This was the first time Lin Wu came to a morgue.

What made him feel at ease was that inside the morgue, there wasn’t a scene like what he had imagined where numerous corpses were placed all around. On the contrary, it was quite empty. The ceramic tiles on the ground’s surface were also very clean. There wasn’t even a single corpse lying out in the open. He could only see rows of cold locker units used for storing corpses.

The corpse storing units with labels on them should have corpses inside them, right?

“Which unit is your grandpa in?” Lin Wu asked.

“The seventh unit of the second row.” Shi Qiuhong pointed. Her voice trembled a little. “My grandpa is inside there.”

Lin Wu glanced at Xiao Qin. He discovered that she was still standing at the morgue’s entrance and couldn’t help but be bewildered. “What are you doing? Why are you not coming in?”

Xiao Qin helplessly shrugged. “It was too crowded. The morgue is also full. Seems like they are all remnant souls.

“…”

Lin Wu’s lips twitched. He involuntarily sensed goosebumps appearing, feeling some chill in his heart as he glanced at his surroundings.

He suddenly rejoiced that he didn’t have yin-yang eyes. If not, if he saw the scenes of so many remnant souls in their vegetative states, he would be so scared that he went crazy.

Shi Qiuhong’s tolerance was even lower than Lin Wu’s. When she heard what Xiao Qin had said, she was so scared that she hurriedly grabbed hold of Lin Wu’s hand.

It wasn’t that she did this intentionally. But currently, in the morgue, she could only depend on him.

“Can’t you just forcefully squeeze your way in?” Lin Wu helplessly asked.

Due to Shi Qiuhong being too frightened, she didn’t notice his words. If not, if she thought about it clearly, she might also be able to guess that this ‘Lu Shaoyan’ was also a ghost.

“What do you mean by squeezing my way in? I don’t wish to let any ghosts take advantage of me.” Xiao Qin rolled her eyes. She then continued, “Usually, remnant souls wouldn’t act. The two of you, go and open up the storage unit.”

“You should try to open it, I will help you based on the situation.”

Lin Wu spoke to Shi Qiuhong. After that, he took out his phone with one hand, while his other hand held onto Shi Qiuhong’s hand. They slowly walked together to the seventh unit of the second row.

When the two of them got near, Shi Qiuhong suddenly shivered. She spoke in a trembling voice, “I can feel it again, my grandpa is calling out to me to save him…”
