Chapter 48: Taking Back the Body (Part 1)

August 1, 2023Ai Hrist

When the members of the Special Spiritual Department Group entered the compartment, all the passengers inside were gone.

Seeing a group of people wearing weird Taoist uniforms, and holding sabers and magic weapons break into the carriage, a few passengers who were still packing their luggage widened their eyes, and some took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

“Boss, has that kid gotten out of the crowd?”

“Impossible, there is no indication of his identity at the exit, and the brothers staying outside did not see him showing his face.”

“He can’t disappear out of thin air on the train…”

While several team members were muttering, one of them saw a hurried figure walking in the aisle outside the window, pointed at that person, and said: “Is that the kid?!”

That was Chen Xing who was using Zhou Hang’s body.

Although he was very cunning and flexible, he was quickly caught by the members of the Special Spiritual Department. He was pressed to the ground and his hands and feet were bound.

When he was arrested, Chen Xing was still pretending to be stupid, and shouted: “Who are you, and why are you holding me? Someone, they are kidnapping people, they are kidnappers!”

Passengers who were coming in and out of the distance were attracted by the sound and looked over one after another. Some people were shooting videos with their mobile phones.

The members of the Special Spiritual Department scolded inwardly, and directly used a ‘silent speech technique’ to seal Chen Xing’s mouth, and took him to a space where no one was around.

Only then did the team members receive feedback from the train crew, saying that Chen Xing had left his seat when he was about to get off the train.

When the train was about to stop and the stewards were busy in the carriage, he sneaked off to hide in the conductor’s lounge at the end of the carriage.

They didn’t find out until they looked at the security cameras.

The team member said in a bad tone: “You are quite a thief, you ran to hide in the locker room of the female steward. How shameless you are?”

No wonder they couldn’t find anyone on the train.

Chen Xing was still pretending to be stupid: “Brother, what the hell are you trying to do? I don’t know you guys. This is a public place, and it’s against the law for you to do this.”

The Branch Director head took out his police badge and said: “I am from Special Spiritual Department. Chen Xing, we suspect that you are involved in the murder of your brother Zhou Hang, and now you will be detained and interrogated according to the law. You’d better tell us the truth.”

Hearing his real name being called out, Chen Xing froze, knowing that he had been exposed.

He panicked in his heart, but at the same time, he was extremely unwilling.

Didn’t that person tell himself that even if the twins change their souls, they won’t be noticed by others?

Could it be that he only lived a few days of good life, and he would go back to his original form?!

“I’m Zhou Hang, I don’t know what you people are talking about.”

Chen Xing decided to keep his mouth shut.

He could see that although his identity had been exposed, these people couldn’t do anything to him. If they had a way to get him out of Zhou Hang’s body, they would do it directly.

At this time, the people from the Special Spiritual Department had already checked him and his bag, but they didn’t find anything that could hide the soul. Seeing this, Chen Xing was even more confident.

The Branch Director frowned, suddenly took out his mobile phone and pointed it at him, and said to the silent person on the other side of the screen:

“Miss Gu, the man has been caught, but I think his soul has already merged with this body. If his soul is forcibly pulled out, it may cause damage.”

Twins, one body, two souls.

The bodies of Zhou Hang and Chen Xing were originally differentiated from the same fertilized egg, so after Chen Xing’s soul entered this body, it was easily accepted by the body.

If he resists violently when stripping the soul, it will hurt the nerves or organs of the body.

If he acts a little careless, Zhou Hang will probably become a fool.

Looking at the distressed young man who was still struggling, Gu Zhisang pulled the corner of her lower lip: “Who says we can’t separate by force, let me say the ‘soul-separating curse’, remember it, when you cast the spell, follow his Heavenly acupoint, Longevity acupoint and… inject energy to protect the physical body.”

This kind of “soul-separating curse” was a mysterious sorcery that was banned thousands of years ago. Like the “soul-searching technique”, it was considered a method only used by evil cultivators.

This technique can forcibly strip the soul from the body.

The body itself will not be destroyed, but the extracted soul will be severely damaged.

In Gu Zhisang’s previous life, there were very few people who knew how to use this technique, and Taoism has long since been lost.

So when they heard this technique, the Branch Director and the team members next to him looked surprised and looked at each other in blank dismay.

From the Branch Director’s slightly lowered communicator screen, the restrained Chen Xing saw the young woman’s face on the screen.

His originally arrogant and provocative expression froze, his heart was uneasy, and his eyes were full of resentment.

So it was this woman!

She exposed him!

Chen Xing doesn’t watch “Spiritual Affairs”, but this metaphysical show was very popular among middle-aged and elderly people, so there were quite a lot of people watching this show on the train in the same class.

An old lady in the front row of him watched videos without earphones. The loud sound made him very uncomfortable.

As a result, he suddenly heard words like ‘twins’ and ‘not real’.

Chen Xing, who had a ghost in his heart, was very sensitive. He looked closely and was shocked. The person on the screen was his brother’s fiancée, Feng Miao!

The other person was his mother!

Why do they mention ‘twins’ on the Internet?

Out of surprise, Chen Xing asked about the name of the show and entered Gu Zhisang’s live broadcast room nervously. The more he listened to it, the colder his heart became, knowing that this woman must have seen his true identity.

Because the follow-up stopped abruptly, Chen Xing didn’t hear what was coming, but he was still fidgeting.

He saw the entry of ‘The speculation about the twins’ appearing on Big Eye Boy’s hot searches.

He clicked in and saw that many netizens were guessing about the identity swap, saying that there must be something wrong with their identity. Although they didn’t guess the final truth, it was no different.

In the end, Chen Xing decided to run away as soon as he got off the train.

He was afraid that the police would come to arrest him, so he hid in the female steward’s lounge in advance and slipped out from the rear of the carriage while the people in the spirit group were not paying attention, but were still caught.

Chen Xing hated Gu Zhisang in his heart. If she hadn’t been meddling in her own business, how could he have been exposed and arrested?

He watched the Branch Director slowly approaching him, his face panicked, “What do you want to do?!”

The Branch Director sealed the acupoints on Zhou Hang’s body according to what Gu Zhisang said, and then began to practice using the “Soul-Leaving Curse”.

Chen Xing in the body only felt a strong force grabbing his soul body and tearing him from Zhou Hang’s body. The pain of his soul being stripped made his expression contorted and ferocious, and the veins on his face and neck were bulging.

In the eyes of the Branch Director and Gu Zhisang, a transparent human figure vaguely appeared on Zhou Hang’s body.

Gu Zhisang: “Don’t let his soul come out yet.”

“After the soul is completely separated from the body, the body is easy to get cold. If Zhou Hang’s soul is not sent back as soon as possible, the body will die completely in an hour.”

It was better to let Chen Xing’s soul be locked in this body first, so that he can’t escape even if he runs, and he can also help Zhou Hang maintain his body.

The Branch Director did as he said, and Chen Xing, whose soul was separated, was as white as a sheet of paper, sweating profusely.

He was horrified to find that his soul seemed to be trapped in a ball, and he could no longer control Zhou Hang’s body. He wanted to escape from the body but was surrounded by invisible barriers.

Chen Xing, who was driven to a desperate situation, cursed and attacked Zhou Hang’s body continuously, trying to disturb the meridians of this body, but to no avail.
