Someone Wants to Switch Souls
Susie was confused and didn't really understand. Why would Uncle Jenkins change into another person without anyone noticing when the soul skin was stuck on him? If he really changed into someone else, she would definitely notice.
So, it's not that nobody noticed, at least she knows.
Seeing her confusion, Mitch explained, "Let me put it this way, some people are fine and suddenly have a drastic change in personality, as if they have become another person. We often say that they are possessed by ghosts."
Susie nodded like a little chicken, "Mm-hmm!"
She understood this sentence o(^▽^)┛
Mitch continued, "But when someone switches souls by sticking the soul skin on, it's not called possession by ghosts, it's called possession by the living."
"Wow..." Susie exclaimed.
She originally thought that only ghosts could possess people. She didn't expect that the living could also possess people. She has learned something new!
The little girl immediately said, "Master-father is really amazing, he knows so much!"
Mitch laughed and pinched her cheeks, "Are you trying to flatter me?"
Susie's face was pinched, and she spoke unclearly, "How is that flattery... Master-father is not a horse, he's a cow. Master-father is so cow, I'm flatter...cow's fart!"
Mitch was speechless and laughed. "Back to the topic," he said, "Master-father has been investigating for a long time this time, and none of the departments have a record of this road-blocker."
"All ghosts are regulated and registered, and they cannot go to Yama's Palace."
Susie perked up her ears and asked, "So is that a real person?"
Mitch nodded, "The road-blocker is a person, which is very strange. One person can go to Yama's Palace..."
At first, he didn't know, but when Susie mentioned the soul skin, these two things suddenly matched up.
"That person blocks those who are not supposed to die but have stepped into the ghost gate. If the other party writes down their own name, then this person can replace the other party and return to their body to live on their behalf."
Susie widened her eyes, "This is like the soul skin!"
Mitch said, "Yes, the soul skin is also a living person who wants to possess another living person. The person who blocks the road to Yama's Palace also wants to take over someone else's body."
In other words, there is someone who has been trying hard to figure out how to become another person and continue living!
Susie was naive and said, "Why? If he is living well, why does he want to become someone else and continue living?"
The original him is already dead!
Wouldn't he feel sorry for his original self by giving up his original body?
Mitch said, "This kind of idea is actually quite common. For example, some people often say online that they want to die and live on another planet."
"Similarly, some people may have done something or experienced some changes, and can no longer continue living with their original identity, so they may want to change their identity."
Susie's brain was working quickly, "Then they can get plastic surgery!"
She knew about plastic surgery because her grandmother used to watch a TV drama called "Aunt Leyla," and Aunt Leyla got plastic surgery and said, "This time, I will take back everything that belongs to me."
Mitch choked a little. This little girl, how many dramas has she watched? He never saw her watch any normally.
He silently said, "Plastic surgery can't solve everything. To give the most understandable example, imagine a person who is terminally ill and wants to live longer. At this time, they need someone else's body..."
Susie understood, "Isn't that like finding a substitute for a dead person?"
It's just that now the person hasn't died yet, but they're already looking for a replacement.
Mitch nodded, "You got it right."
Only then did Susie fully understand. If that was really the case, would the person that her dad was going to catch, Eric, be that person?
She voiced her doubts.
Mitch opened the book and searched for Eric's page. The book recorded the life and death of everyone in the world. If there was something unusual about Eric's fate, it must be him.
"Found it." Mitch's finger stopped on a certain page, and his face was shocked.
"Not him?"
What's going on? Is there still a third person? Were both his and Susie's reasoning wrong just now?
