Chapter 101: What’s Your Name

Chapter 101

After several people entered the room, Shen Feixian started asking about the little girl's situation.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

When the little girl heard Shen Feixian's words, her face was full of confusion. She stared blankly for a long time but couldn't remember what her name was.

Staring blankly at Song Jixing, she murmured: "Mommy!"

Seeing this, Shen Feixian felt a little headache coming on. "Not knowing your name makes things a bit difficult!"

"She's just a lingering soul without memories, so it's normal." Song Jixing looked at the little girl and said.

Even if Song Jixing wanted to divine something for the lingering soul before him, he didn't have the ability. The moment a person dies, their causal connections to this world are completely severed.

Additionally, Song Jixing's main practice was not fortune-telling, and he was not omnipotent. So even if he wanted to deduce heavenly secrets, it would be very difficult.

There are ways of knowing a name when you know it, and ways of not knowing when you don't.

Since electronic devices couldn't capture the little girl's existence, Shen Feixian could only take out his computer and piece together a frontal photo of the little girl through painstaking photo editing and his superb jigsaw puzzle skills.

Shen Feixian looked back and forth at the little girl several times, carefully compared the facial features, and after making sure it was accurate, he quickly typed on the keyboard.

On the screen, images of little girls around the same age flashed by rapidly. "She should be a lingering soul left behind after the spiritual energy revival, at most from a nearby city. It shouldn't be too difficult." Shen Feixian said.

"But if she's never done facial registration, then the difficulty is another matter."

Ding dong, the computer made a prompt sound.

The search results were out.

Shen Feixian looked at the screen, stroked his chin, typed on the computer for a good while longer, then turned the screen to face Song Jixing.

"Junior sister, take a look!"

Song Jixing looked at the screen. The screen showed the little girl's name, age, and other information.

You Beibei, 5 years old, kindergarten senior class.

"Does it hurt?" Huo Ling'er asked You Beibei.

You Beibei seemed to understand the question and shook her head. "It doesn't hurt when I see Mommy. I want Mommy to hug me!" She said, rushing towards Song Jixing.

Song Jixing didn't stop the little girl either, letting her hug his leg.

Unfortunately, the soul's form wasn't solid. Sometimes You Beibei could touch Song Jixing, sometimes she just went straight through.

But the little girl was undaunted, continuing to stare at Song Jixing closely, sticking tight to him.

"Senior brother, let's go take a look around the You family's place tomorrow. Maybe we can find You Beibei's body." Song Jixing said.

As for telling Bai Ping about this for now, Song Jixing didn't plan to yet.

There was no use showing the soul to Bai Ping before finding You Beibei's corpse.

Shen Feixian nodded. "Let's go search around the You residence tomorrow then."

-

Early next morning, Song Jixing got up very early and went out with Shen Feixian and You Beibei.

Last night, Shen Feixian had done some advance preparations, thoroughly investigating the surrounding terrain, including all the possible places a body could be hidden.

The You family lived in the old city district. In recent years, with many residents moving away, many nearby places had been vacated.

With abandoned factories, high-rises, commercial buildings and desolate old gardens around, if the corpse was nearby, it would be very difficult to find.

Although the old gardens were big, residents often took their dogs there to walk. If there was a corpse nearby, the dogs would definitely be able to smell it.

So Shen Feixian first ruled out the gardens.

For the remaining locations, checking one by one through eyesight would be tedious. Thus, Shen Feixian had Song Jixing directly search with his spiritual sense.

It was simple for a Golden Core cultivator's spiritual sense to search three feet deep into the ground, or even deeper.

If the body couldn't be found around here, Shen Feixian planned to try around the theaters next. They were bound to find some clues.

And if that failed, he'd have to exhort his Junior Sister to diligently cultivate, advance her cultivation level as soon as possible, as that would let them search larger areas.
