death office

My name is Mu Lan. I died in a car accident three years ago when I was 22 years old.

I saw the body lying in a pool of blood twisted into an unbelievable angle. The whole face was covered with blood, but I could still see a pair of eyes that had never been closed. I knew it was my own corpse.

It's strange that I can still watch myself lying dead on the street so calmly.There were many people standing around me, they were looking at my dead body, chattering and pointing from time to time.I saw some people covered their eyes and dared not look at the bloody scene, some were on the phone, and some were taking pictures... As for the driver who caused the accident, his legs were so frightened that he slumped on the ground, his face full of horror.

Death is a miraculous thing. The moment you take your last breath, your past disappears along with your life, nothing is remembered, nothing remains.

In fact, I can't be sure that the person who died was me, but a voice in my heart told me so.But the strange thing is, I don't remember my identity, what's my name, how old I am, what I do, I can't remember everything, my mind is blank, nothing.

I clearly saw those people passing through my body, but no one could see me.I don't know where I should go, so I can only stand there blankly, listening to the noisy discussions of people around me, the sirens whistling, the footsteps of pedestrians, the sound of car horns, the whole world seems to be in a blur. Gradually leaning in the hustle and bustle, heading in an unpredictable direction.

At this time, I met Lu Xuan.He stood not far from my side, looked at me quietly, and then walked towards where I was.

He can see me!

"Mulan." He didn't have any expression on his face when he spoke, his face was terribly pale under the thin black clothes, like a terminally ill patient who was blown down by just a gust of wind.

"Are you calling me?" I asked.

"Is there anyone else here?" He asked back, his black eyes were bright, hiding my unpredictable emotions.

I pointed to the people coming and going around, and then I saw the corners of his mouth slightly twitching. This expression we call "sneering" was shown on his face, a kind of saying no The sense of disobedience came out.

"Come with me," he continued.

"Where?"

This time he didn't answer me.I think he was actually just conveying an order, and didn't want to ask for my opinion, because he turned around and left after saying this, without any intention of bothering me.

I stared at his back for a while, then decided to follow him.

Although there is no expression on his face, I guess he must be sure in his heart that I will follow him.

Lu Xuan took me to an abandoned building, the house was really dilapidated, the limestone on the outer wall had almost fallen off, and what was left was a gray-white cement wall covered with creepers.The structures of these buildings built at the end of the last century are actually similar, and the stairs of this kind of houses are all built outside the house, close to the wall. If you want to go upstairs, you have to go out first.

The two of us walked upstairs along the stairs.I don't know why we went up, as if we were supposed to do this, this habit from the bottom of my heart made me a little uneasy.Lu Xuan seemed to feel my uneasiness, and turned his head to look at me. He still had no expression, but his calm eyes made me relax a little.

We stepped on the stairs, and there was a "creaking" sound under our feet, which made our hearts jump.It's very strange, logically speaking, I'm already dead, and I'm just a lonely soul at this moment, but how can a soul have weight?

We walked up the stairs to the roof of the building. When my feet stepped on the floor of the roof, the terrible "creaking" sound disappeared.

I looked around and found that the roof was very large, but half of the space was built with bricks to form a semi-enclosed house, but the "door" of this house was blocked by a whole piece of heavy curtain. Can't see what's going on inside.As for the rest of the unenclosed space, it still retains the appearance of the roof, empty, and there are some moss on the ground.

Just as I was looking around here, the curtain of the house was lifted, and a man came out from inside.He has striking blond hair and creamy white skin.It's so beautiful that it doesn't look like a man, and it makes people feel amazing just by looking at it.

The man looked at me and whistled flirtatiously.

"Little beauty." She blinked at me as she spoke, her hazel eyes seemed to be electrified.

"She's older than you." Lu Xuan glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "You hooked up with the wrong person, Lian Jia."

"Oh?" Lian Jia raised his eyebrows, and smiled at him seductively, "If you don't hook up with her, are you going to hook up with you?"

Immediately afterwards, I saw Lian Jia's hand start to touch Lu Xuan's chest dishonestly, drawing circles on his chest vaguely with his fingers, and there was still that seductive smile on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing his face getting closer and closer to Lu Xuan's, I secretly thought that the two of them were going to stage a restricted scene in front of me like this.It's a pity that Lu Xuan still has such a dead face of being unmoved, without the slightest awareness of being seduced.

"Start working when you've had enough trouble." Lu Xuan finally spoke, but Lian Jia seemed to lose interest suddenly, let go of his hands wrapped around his clothes, and turned to look at me again.

"Lu Xuan, are you kidding me?" Lian Jia pointed at me, "This looks like an underage girl no matter what!"

Lu Xuan took out a notebook with a black cover from nowhere, handed it to him, and walked towards the house, talking while walking: "Name, Mulan, age, 22 years old, cause of death, car accident."

After a dozen words, he disappeared from my sight. Only Lian Jia stood there and flipped through the notebook. He flipped through the notebook very quickly, with a surprised expression on his face. The beautiful face looked very happy.

I was curious about what he saw, and when I was about to walk over to take a look, he quickly closed the notebook, and the smile from before was restored on his face.

Cut, it's so mysterious, it's tricky at first sight.I rolled my eyes at him.

"This is a work secret, so I won't show it." He said with a smile, then pretended to be serious, and cleared his throat, "Now, I officially welcome you to the death office, I am a staff member, Lian Jia. "

"..."

"Hey, I'm already so serious, why don't you give me a reaction!" Lian Jia pouted unhappily.

"How should I react?" I was serious enough not to take what he said as a joke.

"Okay. I want to say, you can ask me any questions you have, but if the matter is confidential, I can't answer you." He snapped his fingers, and two people appeared in front of me. Chair, "Sit down and talk, stand up and get tired."

I'm amazed that he can conjure two chairs out of thin air, although what I'm going through right now is kind of miraculous.I, as a soul, am talking to a person who does not look like a normal person standing on the roof of a dilapidated building.

"What firm were you talking about?" I asked.

"Death Office. As you can see, there are only two people in this office. Lu Xuan is the boss. As for the staff, that's me."

Isn't this really a prank?

I asked, "What does this firm do?"

"Before I answer your question, I want to tell you an established fact. For any person, when he dies, his soul should immediately fall into reincarnation, reincarnated, and he will never remember the past." He suddenly After a pause, he continued, "To be precise, the soul does not have memory. At the moment of this person's death, the memory will automatically dissipate. As for reincarnation, it is a rule. Not out of order."

"That's why I can't remember what happened in my life." I saw Lian Jia nodded and asked again, "Then why did I stay here? Shouldn't I be reincarnated at the moment of death?"

"This is what I want to tell you. Anyone who has obsessions in life, when he dies in an abnormal way, then his soul will not be transferred to reincarnation, but will temporarily stay in the place where he died , become a lonely soul."

I understand, I died in a car accident, so it is considered an abnormal death, but what obsession do I have?I do not remember.

The wind on the roof was so strong that it messed up Lian Jia's hair, and I saw him smiling at me.He has a nice smile, like a young man who doesn't know much about the world.

I asked him: "You haven't answered me yet, what does this firm do?"

"We are responsible for bringing those lonely souls back, and then helping them untie their knots, let go of their obsessions, and finally send them to reincarnation."

I:"……"

"Hey, hey, what's that look on your face?!"

"There is one more question..." I pointed to the small house behind me, "Why did you build this office in such...a place?"

"You have to ask yourself this." Lian Jia looked at me and said earnestly, "There is no specific appearance of the office. What is the place you have the deepest connection with or the most memorable place before you die, then the office you saw The office is what it looks like. For example, for me, the office I see at the moment is a villa by the sea, which is the place I must go every time I date a beauty." He chuckled, and I was a little speechless.

What kind of obsession do I have with such a place?I couldn't remember, felt very irritable, and suddenly could feel the pain of those who lost their memory.

"Speaking of which, you look quite young, but you are actually older than me." Lian Jia rubbed his chin, squinted his eyes and looked at me, "Oh really, I can see that guy Lu Xuan's paralyzed face all day long." I'm bored, finally a woman came to the office, she's older than me, I'm not interested in women older than me!"

"..."

"Okay, have you finished all the questions you should ask?" Lian Jia got up and pointed to the small house, "Then go in quickly, it's cold outside."

"Wait a minute, the last question," I held him back, "How can I get rid of my obsession?"

"This...is a work secret, I won't answer it," Lian Jia smiled mysteriously, "Before that, stay and be our assistant."

He snapped his fingers again, and before I could react, the chair under me disappeared.I fell to the ground with my buttocks, excruciating pain.Instead of giving me a hand, he stood beside me with his hips akimbo and laughed, this sympathetic fellow!Angrily, I hammered his foot hard.

"Aww, aww! You vicious woman!"

I waved my fist triumphantly at him.

Later I stayed here and became the only female assistant in this office.I never knew how to let go of that so-called obsession, but Lu Xuan only told me to "follow fate", and I stopped being obsessed.

Anyway, I don't remember anything, but I still have a place to stay with them.In the past three years, I have met many people who cannot be reincarnated because of their obsessions in this office. Everyone has their own stories, some are touching, some are shocking.
