It can be known now that Jiang Yan's younger brother's soul is in Jiang Yan's body. At that time, before they were even formed, the two of them should have shared a body, so Jiang Yan's younger brother was born stillborn, and the twins were originally born as one. The two souls can slowly share a body, so you can't absorb his soul, but the laws of the world dictate that one body can only take one soul. Bai Jing explained to me what he had found out.
I found it hard to believe. This was truly a boundless world, full of wonders. However, this Jiang Yan was truly pitiful. He didn't know anything, yet he had accidentally violated the Heavenly Dao and even lost his lifespan. Indeed, the heavens were jealous of the talented.
"Then what should we do? How can we take away little brother Jiang Yan's soul?" I frowned. This was a little tricky.
"We have to talk to Jiang Yan. Only the soul can be taken away if it is willing to, otherwise the soul reaper might be injured on both sides and both souls might be destroyed." Bai Jing's expression was also heavy. It seemed that this matter was a little tricky for Bai Jing.
I called up Jiang Yan and asked him to come to Bai Jing's house. It was strange that Jiang Yan asked me where Bai Jing lived. It seemed that I wasn't the only one who had memories like that of a fish.
When Jiang Yan arrived half an hour later, he changed into a new set of clothes and didn't look that depressed anymore. His eyes didn't look that sad anymore, and I was a little surprised to see that Jiang Yan's self-management was still very good.
"You said on the phone that you found a way? What is it? " Jiang Yan's eyes were filled with anticipation.
"I did find the method, but it's not easy to solve. I hope that you can listen to my story properly. The content might be a bit inconceivable, but please believe that it's true." I looked at Jiang Yan with a sincere face. Even I couldn't believe what I was about to say.
"It's like this, the reason you are like this is because there are two souls in your body, and the other one is your younger brother. Because of that accident, his soul entered your body and that's why you sometimes seem like a different person, and you also feel like there are two people living in your body. This is also the reason why your body is weak and sickly." The more I said, the more guilty I felt. After all, this wasn't a matter of personal experience. I felt like I was listening to a supernatural story.
But Jiang Yan's reaction made me look at him in a new light. At first, his face was filled with shock, then with calm, and finally with indifference, unlike the resistance and disbelief that I had expected.
"If you want to cure him, you can only take away your brother's soul, but because his body has already fused with yours, if you want to hook up with his soul, you need your cooperation so that he won't harm you." There was a touch of probing in my voice.
Jiang Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of pain, then with hesitation, then with determination. I don't know if I was wrong, but I actually saw a trace of viciousness in his eyes.
"What do you need me to do?" Jiang Yan asked.
"I will use the Spirit Summoning Art on you. You need to use your will to control your body and then expel the other soul in your body. That way, I can pull it out of your body."
Jiang Yan just nodded his head to show that he would cooperate before lowering his head and thinking. I think that at this moment, he must be feeling terrible. After all, he's his own brother. Bai Jing supported his chin as he stood beside Jiang Yan. From time to time, his gaze swept across Jiang Yan's body. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
I prepared the soul-attracting items and lit the incense before taking out the incantation. Just as I was about to chant the incantation, Bai Jing, who was beside me, suddenly spoke, "Are you sure that only one of you can live?" He was looking at Jiang Yan, but it didn't seem like he was looking at Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan and I were both stunned and we couldn't react. Bai Jing couldn't stand it any longer. It wasn't his style to fight for Jiang Yan's little brother. Bai Jing didn't wait for Jiang Yan's reply and just looked at me, signalling for me to continue.
Jiang Yan slowly closed his eyes as I shook the bell. Then, I ignited the sigil above his head, bringing the soul-attracting incense onto Jiang Yan's body, and wrapped it around Jiang Yan as I chanted an incantation. A translucent soul within Jiang Yan's body was slowly pulled out and gradually formed into a shape, and after a while, his facial features could be seen, becoming more and more distinct.
After all, I was the one who caused him to be unable to continue to stay in this world. However, he didn't look at me, but at the unconscious Jiang Yan at his side. His eyes were filled with gentleness and love, I didn't think that he wouldn't hate his brother for abandoning him.
"I'm sorry, that's all I can do." "I said, a little embarrassed." I still have to thank you. After so many years, I can finally free myself. You don't have to blame yourself; this is also my own choice. " His face was full of a smile of relief.
Thank you, Miss Xiang Yuxing, Mr. Bai Jing. Please tell my brother that I don't blame him, I hope he can have a complete and independent life in the future. There was a soft smile on his face.
I looked at him in astonishment, "Younger brother, you are Jiang Yan, how could you … how were you forced out?"
"I did it of my own volition, I remember now. When the accident happened, we were just reincarnated, but because the other twin was born dead, I swallowed his soul. I thought that I was helping him, but who would've thought that I would end up hurting myself, which is the best ending for us." Tears flickered in Jiang Yan's eyes, and finally, a line of tears fell.
"Your Highness Pluto, I have violated the rules and am willing to return to the Underworld to receive punishment." Jiang Yan bowed deeply towards Bai Jing, but Bai Jing only nodded indifferently. With a wave of his hand, Jiang Yan's soul disappeared. He should have taken it back to the Underworld, saving me the need to use the Rebirth Talisman.
"Did you already know that what we saw today was not the real Jiang Yan? Or did you know that Jiang Yan would give up his body?" My tone was stiff.
At the end of the day, there was anger in my heart, and Bai Jing was always hiding it from me. This made me feel very sad.
The one he wanted to leave was him. I know that you're naturally kind-hearted, but after knowing this, I won't be able to take any action, but Xing'er, you have to take care of this matter. If you continue to forcefully take away little brother Jiang Yan's soul, if he doesn't cooperate, you will suffer a backlash. Bai Jing's voice sounded helpless.
I didn't know how to respond. I was angry that he had lied to me, but everything he had done was for my sake. It made me feel unreasonable. At this moment, the unconscious Jiang Yan woke up.
