Chapter 1337: Chapter 1337 – Wardrobe
Sage’s office was very special.
Other than the three-meter-long CEO desk in the middle, which seemed like something that would appear in an office, it also looked more like a princess-style small apartment. There were 24 wardrobes by the wall, forming a circle, almost the entire office was surrounded. A large round bed with a curtain was located in the northeast corner of the room. On the right side of Miss Succubus, there was a small castle for fans with two Persian cats lying on it.
Sigi was holding a British Shorthair in her arms. She was stroking the cat with one hand and reading a fashion magazine with the other. She was looking through the new clothes that were coming out next season, however, when she saw Zhang Heng and Miss Succubus, she did not show any arrogance. She put down the book in her hands and placed the British Shorthair on the CEO’s desk. Then, she reached out her hand and smiled.
“Emilia told me about your arrival. I didn’t expect you to arrive so soon. You must be trista…”saidji shook hands with Miss Succubus. Then, she looked at Zhang Heng. “Er…”
“Ma Wei,”Zhang Heng introduced himself.
“Hello, Mr. Ma Wei.”Saidji also reached out her hand to Zhang Heng. She didn’t treat him differently just because he was a human.
After both parties shook hands, they took their seats. Even Miss Succubus, who was sitting on Hello Kitty’s couch, could not help but have a strange look in her eyes.
On the other hand, Zhang Heng, as if he did not feel the girl’s presence, placed the gift in his hand in front of Saeji.
Saeji seemed a little surprised, but she was still very happy when she saw the things in the bag. Then, she pressed the button on the table, and the doors to the wardrobe in the room slowly opened.
Even Miss Succubus was stunned by the scene before her. She almost thought that she was on the set of some overbearing CEO drama. There was nothing she could do. Hundreds of clothes and all kinds of shoes and bags suddenly appeared before her eyes, the visual impact was definitely extraordinary.

Even Zhang Heng, who was standing at the side, was temporarily speechless. The two of them watched as Saeji placed the newly received bags into a cabinet. After that, she didn’t avoid Zhang Heng and Miss Succubus and tried on the pair of shoes, she even turned to the two of them and asked, “How is it? Does it look good?”
“Yes.”Miss Succubus was sincere in her praise this time. Even though Shaggy had come to China to make it easier for her to move around without causing any trouble, and she didn’t use her stunning beauty from before.., even so, her beauty couldn’t be hidden. She was like an innocent flower, and even when placed in a dark room, there was still a faint fragrance floating around.
No Wonder Cupid was attracted to her at first glance, and Venus could not help but feel jealous.
Saiji wore her new shoes and spun around in front of the mirror twice. Then, she returned to her original seat with satisfaction. She pressed the button again, closed the cabinet door, and picked up the British Shorthair again, “Thank you for the gift. I like it very much, but you came to see me for business, right?”
“That’s right.”Zhang Heng saw that the gift was indeed effective. Sikey seemed to be in a good mood, so he took the opportunity to get down to business, “You’re the god of Souls, so you should know a lot about souls.”
“Oh, that’s right. I’m good at very few things. More than a thousand years have passed, and I haven’t learned much. I only know a little about souls,”Sikey said gently while stroking the British Shorthair.
“Then I have a few questions for you, Miss Saiji,”said Zhang Heng.
“You’re welcome, Mr. Ma. As long as it’s a question that I know, I’ll try my best to answer it.”
“First of all, I want to know if one soul can take over another soul’s body?”

“Yes, although it’s not impossible, the probability of it happening is very small. In theory, unless the body dies, the soul will not leave the body. I know that there are many time travel novels on the market now, but the body to the soul is not as simple as a container. The two sides are more like a symbiotic relationship. A soul corresponds to a body. Even if the original soul disappears, it’s almost impossible for other souls to take over this body.”
Speaking of her field of expertise, Sage’s expression turned serious. She paused for a moment before adding, “However, as far as I know, there are indeed some gods who can use the method of descending to seize another soul’s body. This is also the origin of the Seance. However, seance… is basically something that can not last for long. After all, the body is not yours, and the original soul is still there. Rather than seizing it, it is better to say that it is better to temporarily control it. There is a high probability that the original soul will return the body after a few words of Oracle. In fact, seance requires the cooperation of the original soul. Usually, the most devout believer will be chosen because if the original soul has the intention to resist, it will be difficult for the Seance to continue.”
“What if you consume the original soul during the Seance?”Zhang Heng asked.
Sage looked at Zhang Heng in confusion before continuing, “What’s the point of doing that? I don’t mean to offend you, but I used to be a mortal. I know that a mortal’s body is too weak for a god. It’s like a cat entering a matchbox. Even if you can forcefully possess it, it’s meaningless. On the contrary, your soul will be trapped inside it. Furthermore, the descent of a God is one thing, but completely possessing the body is another. There will be many variables in the process..
“For example, if the wrath of the seven deadly sins chooses to take over a mortal’s body, the mortal might not be able to withstand his wrath before he succeeds. He might kill the person next to him in a fit of rage and be killed by the police.”
“In other words, it is indeed possible to succeed.”
“That is the theory,”siji nodded.
Zhang Heng was silent for a moment before asking, “Actually, I’ve always been curious. After a person dies, their soul will be taken away by the Grim Reaper. What about after the soul dies? Will it disappear completely?”
“You can put it that way, but strictly speaking, the soul will not disappear. It will only return to its purest state. This state is also very difficult for me to explain. For example, if your soul was originally a house, then after you die, your soul will return to the state of reinforced concrete.”
“Then can the reinforced concrete still be used to build the original house?”
“Impossible,”Sage said firmly, “Just like how there are no two identical leaves in this world, and there are no two identical souls. Let Me Be Frank. Even if there is something powerful enough to pinch a dead soul back into its original form, it will no longer be your original soul, but a completely unfamiliar thing.”
“Understood.”Zhang Heng heard the facial expression does not change, on the contrary, the facial expression of miss succubus beside appears to be a little surprised and doubtful, seems to not understand why Zhang Heng would ask such a question.
