There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem

Chapter 87

The soul flag was restored but didn't cause any plot changes. Ye Zhizhou opened the system information to look it over, but the more he looked, the more his brows wrinkled. According to the timeline, the protagonist and Yuan Yao met when the protagonist was in his 40's. At that time, Yuan Yao was only 25 years old. Then right now, Yuan Yao...must have just been born recently?

Even babies aren't spared, this soul flag fluctuation is too ferocious.

Cen Yuebai walked over to pick up the fork and set it aside. He raised his hand and poked Ye Zhizhou's forehead lightly. "What are you daydreaming about?"

He snapped out of it, shook his head and thought about it for a bit before asking, "You first approached my sister to help her return to her body. Suppose that her body died before she was able to return, what would happen to her soul then?"

"Her situation is special. It's equivalent to being forced out. If her body died, then her soul would gradually become weaker and weaker until it dissipated and returned to the reincarnation cycle." Cen Yuebai sat beside his bed and put his hand into the blanket. He gently lifted Ye Zhizhou's clothing and touched the wound. He leaned over and looked into his eyes. "Why did you feel like asking this?"

The wound was a bit ticklish when he touched it. He moved back and caught the hand that was making trouble at his waist, almost unable to keep his serious expression. He directly glared at Cen Yuebai before answering. "I just felt a little troubled. Have you gotten any results from your investigation? It seems like Fan Lang and the others don't know anything about the soul movement at all. Who do you think did it?"

Cen Yuebai couldn't help leaning over to kiss his eyes, before holding his hand and saying, "I went to the scene of Fan Lang's car accident and saw that there were traces of fighting nearby, but unfortunately, I couldn't identify which sect it was. Everything in the hospital seems normal, but Shen Mengxi's body was taken away here. Looking at the combination of the two clues, I can only guess that someone wanted to steal Fan Lang's body and Shen Mengxi's involvement was accidental."

Someone wanted to steal Fan Lang's body... He suddenly thought of something and frantically poked at the system in his mind. "Are the flags on top of the protagonist's head bound to the protagonist's soul?"

[Currently retrieving rules, please wait...Retrieval complete, soul flags are bound to the soul and cannot be changed.]

Bound to the soul? Then why didn't he see the soul flags on top of the protagonist's head when he saw him that day, at Shen Mengxi's school gate? At that time, the soul in Shen Mengxi's body was Fan Lang. It couldn't be that Fan Lang wasn't the protagonist?!

Once again, at midnight, he snuck into Fan Lang's room. The room was very dark with little light, and the flags that were glowing in the dim light were even more eye-catching. He couldn't help tightening his hold on the little mirror in his pocket, frowning deeply. What is going on...Why is it that when Fan Lang was in Shen Mengxi's body there were no soul flags above his head and yet when he returned to his body, they appeared again? 

He poked at the small mirror while sprinkling a powdered form of the Cuimian pill on Fan Lang, moving closer to look at him. He asked in his mind doubtfully, "Do the soul flags only appear when the protagonist's soul and body match?"

[There is no such requirement in the rules.]

So what exactly is going on right now? He became increasingly confused. The Huanhun pill wouldn't make any mistakes. At this moment, the soul in Fan Lang's body is absolutely the genuine soul! So, that day, why were the soul flags absent when Fan Lang was the one occupying Shen Mengxi's body?
