So I went to Douluo.

Chapter 1268: Merit, Hell

Author: [After taming the students’ ghosts, the guests, together with Master Qiugao Yunkuo, solved and restored the truth behind the paranormal events at Linxi No. 5 Middle School.

[The student did turn into a ghost after his death, but for some reason, he retained the sanity of a normal human being!

[You heard it right! The student turned into a ghost and has consciousness!

[Unlike other ghosts, who are driven by obsession and instinct and act like machines!
[As we all know, ghosts generally cannot communicate. This is the first characteristic of ghosts and is still pinned on the top post of the Shixin Company’s official account.

[But the ghost of that student completely broke this feature!
[Not only is he not affected by his own obsessions, he can also behave normally like a normal person without restrictions, and he can even communicate with others normally!

[The guests also learned everything that happened in the past after communicating with the student's ghost.

[Since the student turned into a ghost, he has been wandering around the school and unable to leave. He usually hides himself, goes to classes as normal like before, and maintains his life before he died.

[But this time, no one will bully her for some weird reasons. She can even secretly scare those who bullied her in the past and get revenge for herself.

[This is the origin of the supernatural incident at Linxi No. 5 Middle School.

[Later, more and more students claimed to have seen ghosts because she sometimes accidentally appeared in front of other students, or when she appeared, she happened to be seen by some students.

[Anyway, she didn't mean to scare those classmates. Later, she simply hid in a deserted place during the day and only dared to sneak out at night.

Master Qiu Gaoyunkuo's explanation for all this is that humans and ghosts are on different paths, and ghosts carry yin energy that counteracts the yang energy of living people.

[When the two stay together for a long time, the yin and yang energies collide. Even if it is not the ghost's own wish, the living person's yang energy will gradually weaken, and eventually become weak and sick, and then the ghost that is deliberately hidden can be seen.

[The student gradually realized this and hid in his own ghost realm.

[After the entire school moved away, they simulated the school environment in the ghost realm, and with all the students and teachers, they pretended that they were still living and studying normally.

[That's why, later on, neither Shixin nor the Supervisory Bureau detected her presence.

[Because the ghost realm is separated from reality, as long as its owner does not allow it to interface with reality, it is equivalent to not existing in reality.

[In this case, even the most advanced instruments cannot detect it.]

[Until now, the guests have summoned her back to reality through the four-corner game.

[After reconnecting with reality, the guests can catch her.

As for why she can maintain her sanity and even communicate normally like a normal person, Master Qiu Gaoyunkuo said:

[Her obsession is not strong, and her aura is peaceful. She does not have any karma or evil spirits, but instead has a little merit to protect her.

[All these things added together made her lucky enough to retain all the memories and sanity she had in her lifetime. Except for becoming a ghost and losing her physical body, she was no different from ordinary people.

[But her obsession was not resolved after all, so she became a ground-bound spirit, trapped in Linxi No. 5 Middle School and unable to leave. Because there was no one to guide her, she could not be reincarnated.

【…

[In short, this is roughly the first episode of the third season. For details, please follow the official account of the "Today I want to take you to...?" program team and wait for the release of the live broadcast recording!
[Also, you don’t have to worry about the ghost of the little girl from Linxi No. 5 Middle School!

[After knowing that those who had bullied her had paid the due price and been punished by the law, her obsession had dissipated. [Finally, she was saved by the singing of children, and then sent to reincarnation by Master Qiu Gao Yun Kuo!
[Everyone is happy!]
[Now the author is looking forward to the second episode next month!]

【Finally, leave a question.】

【What exactly is merit? 】

……

The news was also reporting on Linxi No. 5 Middle School.

Today is the weekend and a family of four is watching TV in the living room.

After seeing the relevant reports, Tang Wulin couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle, is that true? There is such a thing as merit, which allows one to retain his sanity even after becoming a ghost after death?"

Tang Liu replied: "Yes and no, merit is one of the conditions, but not a necessary condition. It is said that ghosts cannot communicate, but in fact, what they say is incomprehensible to ordinary people. Only those who are born with Yin-Yang eyes or masters who can open the sky eye can understand what they are saying.

"Of course, ghosts driven by obsessions behave mechanically, and even if they speak, it is likely to be some meaningless nonsense. In short, they can be regarded as mentally ill murderers. They are very dangerous and should be avoided.

"In addition, ghosts like this who have done good deeds and some ghosts with very strong obsessions may retain their memories and complete sanity.

“However, because the former are protected by merit, obsession has little effect on them, so they can still think rationally like normal people.

"As for the latter, their inner driving force is still their obsession. Therefore, even if they retain their memories and sanity, these things still serve to fulfill their obsession, making them more insidious, cunning, and cruel, and more dangerous than ordinary ghosts."

But in fact, most of the ghosts that people turn into after death should be similar to their lives, retaining their memories and consciousness, and able to communicate. It’s just that most people can’t understand what they say, and sometimes they can’t even speak in dreams.

Most of them are actually difficult to show in front of people. They can only be seen when a person's yang energy is weak and the magnetic field is low.

Those who can show up at will are those with strong obsessions and resentments. But most of them can control themselves from hurting others because of their retained memories and sanity.

Even if he wants to hurt someone, he will only hurt the enemy who killed him.

Unless it is a ghost transformed from a person who completely disregards moral concepts and follows his own inner desires.

They will not restrain themselves and will kill innocent people at will.

In addition, no matter what the reason, as long as a ghost has killed a person once, if it is not stopped in time, the resentment and karma in its body will gradually suppress the rational part of its human form, making it more likely to become violent and cruel.

At this time, they are the so-called "evil spirits".

There are also ghosts who have stayed in the world of the living for a long time, whose memories and sanity have been worn away, and whose souls are incomplete. They can only be driven by obsession and their behavior is mechanical.

If it does not get nourishment and recovery, it will eventually end up with its soul torn apart and disappearing completely.

Although most ghosts today are still completely driven by obsession, as the rules of this world gradually improve, they will eventually become normal.

Of course, the most important reason is——

This world still lacks a complete "Underworld".
