101 Soul Trial

Cw: brief mention of suicide 

"A–Am I dead?" Jin Jiuchi stared at his own hands in wonder and incredulity. "So this is how it feels to die…"

But why had nothing changed about him at all? He scratched his cheek in confusion and surveyed the people around him. They all looked dispirited and sluggish as if their very essence had been drained, leaving behind nothing but the echoes of their former existence. And he looked closer, he could see that their bodies were half-translucent too, as they had descended into this realm in their spirit form. 

So why was things different when it came to him?!

Jin Jiuchi patted himself all over and confirmed that his body was still warm and solid. Moreover, he also did not find any signs on his body that indicated his cause of death. Was it because he had wiped himself first back then?
