A passerby in a horror movie

"Humans have three souls and seven spirits, which are divided into the heavenly soul, the earthly soul, and the human soul. The ghost of the little boy you saw yesterday was only the human soul among the three souls."

Normally, a person's soul would quickly dissipate, but this little boy's will was so strong that he not only remained but also retained some of his memories.

After a pause, Li Haotian continued:

"I suspect there must be some special energy that modified it, otherwise, it wouldn't have such an effect just from obsession."

"For a living person to become a conscious ghost after death, their earth soul needs to break free from the call of the underworld and awaken."

It's very difficult for ordinary people to do, but it can be accomplished through certain rituals and spells.

Li Haotian spoke slowly, his tone very calm, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

But when Yoshiharu Hashimoto heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at Li Haotian with eager eyes.

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is. It takes a strong obsession and a special energy to become a ghost."

Yoshiharu Hashimoto repeated Li Haotian's words to himself, his heart filled with excitement.

Seeing Hashimoto Yoshiharu's expression, Li Haotian knew that he had a plan.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, Yoshiharu Hashimoto spoke again.

"Mr. Li, can you help me? I want to become a ghost. You must have a way, right?"

"I can't believe it," said Yoshiharu Hashimoto, his expression excited.

After learning how to become a demon, Hashimoto Yoshiharu also realized that he could not become a conscious demon on his own.

But Li Haotian is different. He understands the soul so well, he must have a way.

However, Li Haotian did not agree and shook his head directly.

"Mr. Hashimoto, to be honest, I have observed many people these past few days and found that your souls all have problems. If you want to become a ghost, you need to cast a spell on your soul."

I dare not act rashly before I have a clear understanding of this matter, so you will need to wait a while.

"There's something wrong with the soul? What's going on?"

Yoshiharu Hashimoto didn't quite understand.

"Simply put, you all have dark energy between your eyebrows, and some of you have even turned into black holes."

Generally speaking, this situation is extremely unlucky and could even lead to immediate death.

But I found that they were still as lively and energetic as ordinary people.

Last night I examined James's soul and found that his celestial soul was incomplete; in this condition, he wouldn't be able to be reincarnated after death.

Li Haotian spoke slowly.

Li Haotian didn't want to take any risks before he understood the situation.

The celestial soul is incomplete and also harbors unknown substances.

It's obvious that this was done by someone. If he were to actually do it, the mastermind behind it would probably find out.

Such bizarre methods were something Li Haotian had never even heard of before, let alone seen them.

He felt that without a reliable means, it was best not to act rashly.

Li Haotian plans to investigate further in the next couple of days and then visit all the temples and monasteries.

He refused to believe that no god could respond to him. If all else failed, he would return to the mainland and seek help from major sects like the Maoshan headquarters or the Celestial Master's Mansion in this world.

His current strength is only at the second level of Refining Essence into Qi, so he can't be a savior.

After hearing Li Haotian's words, Hashimoto Yoshiharu fell silent.

Although he was not a Taoist priest and had no magical powers, he understood the meaning behind Li Haotian's words.

Their souls were incomplete, which meant someone had tampered with them, but Li Haotian didn't know who it was.

To be able to tamper with everyone's soul is certainly not something an ordinary person, or even a human being, could do.

After deep thought, Yoshiharu Hashimoto suddenly felt as if he were living in a world shrouded in dark clouds.

It felt as if a pair of giant hands were controlling me.

He even hesitated about becoming a ghost.

Suddenly, in just a short while, the black aura between his brows deepened.

"Hey, snap out of it."

Seeing that the black aura between Hashimoto Yoshiharu's eyebrows had intensified and was even spreading, Li Haotian quickly shouted and used his magic to wake him up.

"Huh? What happened to me just now?"

Yoshiharu Hashimoto felt a sense of unease.

He had just been thinking about Li Haotian's words, but he hadn't expected to become so engrossed that he couldn't even hear the sounds from the outside world.

This feeling was so strange that he would probably have remained immersed in it forever if Li Haotian hadn't woken him up.

Hashimoto Ryoharu suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Fortunately, after being interrupted, the dark aura between Hashimoto Yoshiharu's eyebrows recovered and did not continue to spread, otherwise something terrible might have happened.

“Mr. Yoshiharu Hashimoto, you must keep what I just said to yourself. Don’t think about it, don’t tell anyone, and don’t investigate it yourself, understand?”

Otherwise, some unspeakable things might happen!

Li Haotian swallowed hard and quickly gave instructions to Hashimoto Yoshiharu.

He never expected that simply thinking about these things would lead to this situation for Yoshiharu Hashimoto.

Things were getting increasingly bizarre and terrifying, and Li Haotian felt immense pressure.

When he first arrived, he thought this commission would be relatively easy.

After all, turning a person into a ghost is something he can easily do with his current level of cultivation.

But clearly things aren't that simple, and given the current situation, Li Haotian doesn't dare to make a move easily.

"I understand, I understand, I won't think about it anymore."

Yoshiharu Hashimoto quickly responded, startled as well.

The fact that Yoshiharu Hashimoto was able to develop the Mengjie Sponge shows that he has a very high IQ.

Having encountered this situation herself, and considering what Li Haotian said, Hashimoto Yoshiharu had already filled in a lot of blanks in his mind.

But he didn't dwell on it further, fearing a repeat of the previous situation.

"Mr. Hashimoto, I suggest you stay home for the time being, and stop researching that ghost named Li Yaoxi. Let him go."

Once I've done my investigation and am confident in my abilities, I'll come and help you. Just wait patiently.

Li Haotian gave the instructions to Hashimoto Yoshiharu.

With him around, Yoshiharu Hashimoto no longer needs to research ghosts, lest the entire team be wiped out like in the movies.

"Okay, I listen to you."

Yoshiharu Hashimoto nodded solemnly.

After learning the truth about the soul from Li Haotian, he understood the seriousness of the matter and naturally obeyed Li Haotian's orders without question.

After finishing their meal, both of them left with heavy hearts.

Yoshiharu Hashimoto returned to the anti-gravity research group's office and released the little boy's ghost directly.

Freed from constraints, Li Yaoxi went straight to his old home and did the same things he had done every day before.

Li Haotian, on the other hand, took a taxi to other Taoist temples.

However, for five consecutive days, Li Haotian visited more than a dozen Taoist temples and smashed the Holy Grail dozens of times, but still received no response.

Li Haotian couldn't help but feel somewhat numb.
