Chapter 74 It seems that there is no soul
Seven o'clock in the evening.
It's almost the time when day and night alternate.
According to Kyoto time, the sun sets at six o'clock during the spring equinox, and it gets dark at six-thirty.
However, Shu, which is located much further to the west, is almost forty minutes behind schedule, and the sky is not completely dark at this moment.
The sun had just set not long ago, but it was still releasing its last ray of light far away in the sky, shining a few rays of light on the clouds.
The sky seems like a gradient canvas carefully painted by nature’s colorist.
The bright blue of the day faded. Close to the horizon, the afterglow of the setting sun is still resisting the erosion of darkness, dyeing the sky a warm orange-red or golden color. These colors are intertwined together, like flames burning in the sky, and slowly spreading like ribbons.
Chen Yun, who had just returned home, was sitting on the sofa, with the afterglow of the setting sun shining on him.
When he came back just now, he encountered Bai Shi and Sun Huiwen laughing and saying goodbye downstairs. After eating a mouthful of dog food, he helplessly pretended not to notice.
Looking at Bai Jin who was wagging his tail excitedly in front of him, Chen Yun, who felt that he was accompanied by someone, chuckled lightly and controlled the tissue with his mind to tease Bai Jin.
The paper towel flew upwards for a while, and then flew left and right with the power of telekinesis, causing Bai Jin, the silly dog, to chase it around excitedly.
At the same time, Chen Yun was also thinking about what he had learned this afternoon.
Today, I went out to explore the existence of the soul according to the short-term planning 4.0 arrangement.
However, after exploring and sensing three top-level hospitals and two nursing homes, Chen Yun still found that he could not sense anything.
This made Chen Yun couldn't help but think.
Theoretically speaking, it is impossible that there are no dead people in these places. There should be both those who have just died and those who have been dead for a long time.
If this fails to detect the soul, is the sample size not large enough? Or can't you feel your own spiritual power? Or does it have no soul at all?
Thinking about it, Chen Yun did not dare to make a conclusion.
If he was a big devil, he would have killed fresh experimental subjects indiscriminately for observation.
However, he is a good young man who says, "I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will eradicate them." Naturally, he would not do that.
At this point, observation seems to have reached an impasse.
However, as the direct sunlight outside the window gradually weakened, and looking at the sky outside the window that was gradually turning completely dark, an idea flashed in Chen Yun's mind.
He seems to have overlooked the existence of a variable!
Light! It's light!
Chen Yun's eyes couldn't help but widen.
In countless film and television works, ghosts usually come out at night and rarely during the day. So, as the predecessor and essence of ghosts, does the soul also have the characteristic of being afraid of light?
Chen Yun couldn't help but make bold assumptions about this soul that he didn't know existed.
So if that's the case, will you gain something if you go out now?
Thinking like this, Chen Yun was not in a hurry to go out.
It wasn't quite night yet, it was just getting dark.
After he changed the water and dog food for Platinum.
I quickly followed the short-term plan 4.0 and started to finish the exercises I was going to do tonight in advance, so as not to have no time to do them after I went out tonight.
Every night, the main exercise is a whole-body muscle tremor, as well as further exercises for Transparent World 3.0.
Needless to say, there is no need to say more about muscle trembling exercise. If you can do it three times a day, you should try to do it as much as possible.
As for Transparent World 3.0, the senses of vision, hearing, and smell need to be used for a long time to become more sensitive and precise.
Moreover, the specific sounds and smells must be heard and smelled before they can be recorded in the database of the memory palace. Otherwise, you will not know what they are when you see them for the first time.
In addition, the main exercise is the mental part of the transparent world.
It has many functions such as real-time information transmission, 3D perception modeling, perspective (cannot penetrate living organisms), emotion perception, telekinesis, light perception and color perception. Naturally, it is necessary to exercise.

The streets at twelve o'clock in the night seemed a bit quieter than the hustle and bustle during the day.
There are few pedestrians.
Vehicles occasionally passed by, leaving only brief traces of headlights cutting through the darkness.
Considering that the subway stopped running at 11 o'clock, Chen Yun took the subway to West China Hospital early after finishing his exercise and recording the data.
Compared to the daytime, this place, which is not in a busy business district, is indeed much quieter.
But it's not like the area around Chen Yun's community. Usually at 11 or 12 o'clock in the evening, it's as quiet as a ghostland.
There are still a lot of bright lights here.
Near each entrance of the hospital, there are many 24-hour convenience stores still open. The soft lights in several inpatient buildings and the emergency department are also always on.
Following a familiar route, Chen Yun started shopping again while deliberately avoiding the cameras.
The extreme silence makes it easier for people to hear their own heartbeat and the slight friction between the soles of their shoes and the ground.
Not long.
Chen Yun returned to the place where he started.
Thinking back on everything he had sensed along the way, he frowned slightly.
The result of this trip is still...
Nothing!
Even at night, the results Chen Yun perceived were no different from those during the day.
In the hospital, only the nurses and doctors on duty are working, only family members are staying with them in the ward despite their sleepiness, and only the patients are lying in bed suffering...
Nothing fancy.
It seemed that it was really just Chen Yun who thought too much. There is no soul at all in this world.
But considering his own unscientific nature, it was really hard for Chen Yun not to think too much.
There are people like him in this world.
It doesn’t seem strange to have a soul, right?
He doesn't necessarily want to find his soul, he just wants to seriously understand what the world he lives in is essentially like?
This is of great significance for judging the feasibility of various future decisions.
He pondered for a long time.
Chen Yun planned to give it one last try.
At least, go to the cemetery at night and take a look, so that you can make a tentative conclusion about whether there is a soul.
He took an online taxi and set his destination in a community near the nearest cemetery. He did not choose to locate the cemetery directly.
He felt that if he had to go to the cemetery at night, no driver would dare to take the order.
Not long.
A black BYD stopped in front of Chen Yun.
After giving the last number of his mobile phone, Chen Yun sat in the back seat of the taxi.
As the vehicle started, Chen Yun quietly looked out through the window.
It has to be said that after his physical changes, he seemed to have never wandered around the streets at night, or it could be said that he had never wandered around before.
The city at night is completely different from that during the day.
The night was extremely dark at this time, and the city was shrouded in thick darkness. The lights on the streets became sparse, with only scattered streetlights and shop windows shining faint light, like an isolated island in the ocean.
The rustle of leaves in the breeze, the echo of dogs barking in the distance, the movement of stray animals rummaging through trash cans...
It is silent, but not lifeless.
This is an unprecedented experience.
Patrolling the streets at night really gives people a completely different yet extremely relaxing feeling.
Even Chen Yun, who has no real worries now, is like this.
"Perhaps, you can come out more often in the future and try patrolling the streets at night?"
Whispering.
Chen Yun opened the car window and felt the cool night breeze.
I feel a faint sense of comfort and relaxation arise in my heart.
Not long.
Chen Yun's destination has arrived.
