Chapter 174 Two months
"Captain Wei, Chen Miao has refused."
Qi Ning went to Wei Yang's office and told him about Chen Miao's situation.
Kui Yang raised an eyebrow slightly.
"You've stated your terms, but he still doesn't agree?"
Qi Ning shook his head.
He refused as soon as I opened my mouth.
Kui Yang nodded.
"That's settled then. Since he can't join the Management Bureau, the remaining points won't go to him either; they'll all be yours."
"Don't take it upon yourself to distribute the points to Chen Miao privately. There are too many points. According to the rules, non-formal members cannot accept so many points. Be careful, or you'll lose yours too."
Qi Ning didn't say anything more, nodded, and left.
Wei Yang looked at the evaluations in front of him regarding the three supernatural events Chen Miao had participated in.
[Gratitude] [Caution] [Stability]
[Cautious] [Sound in handling affairs] [Values relationships]
[Cautious] [Reliable] [Mysterious Techniques]
It's no exaggeration to say that among all the level D investigators in the entire Shannan City Administration Bureau, very few could receive such almost entirely positive feedback in their initial tasks.
Wei Yang felt a little regretful that he couldn't bring Chen Miao into the management bureau's team.
However, this is something that cannot be forced.
Joining the Bureau with resentment is not necessarily a good thing.
The Administration Bureau has had some unpleasant incidents in the past, and Wei Yang doesn't want a similar thing to happen in Shannan City.
Shaking his head, Wei Yang closed Chen Miao's file and then opened another file.
The archive contains photos, all from the time of Fengmen Village, showing coffins, houses, locust trees, and hundreds of coffins unearthed in an open area on the west side of the village.
But Wei Yang's gaze did not fall on the other photos; instead, he stared at the decapitated corpse.
Or rather, they were looking at the head of the corpse.
Although the corpse's face was bluish-white, it was not decomposed, making it easy to see the original appearance of the body.
Because of this, something interesting happened after the face of the corpse was compared with the Bureau's database.
The administration's database contained several faces that bore a more than 50% resemblance to the corpse.
Among the owners of these faces, two have the surname Feng.
"People from the Feng family, huh?"
"If it really is related to the Feng family, then that's interesting."
……
Chen Miao looked at his points in the mobile phone store and fell silent.
The points distributed this time surprised him; a total of 50 points were distributed.
The last time, the evil cultivator from the Six Livestocks gave me nearly 50 points, but this time, for such a big event in Fengmen Village, I only got 50 points.
Moreover, last time it was shared by five people, but this time it's only shared by three.
This puzzled Chen Miao.
If there's any difference, it's that last time there was a [Special Event Contribution +30 Points].
This time, there's only one item: [Fūmon Village Incident +50 points].
"Is it because this incident didn't involve cults? Or is it because the harm caused by this incident wasn't significant?"
After racking his brains to no avail, Chen Miao stopped thinking about it.
After all, he was just an external member, and the Bureau had the right to interpret how much it paid him.
Moreover, this incident was not something the Administration Bureau asked Chen Miao to do; Chen Miao got involved on his own initiative.
The fact that points are awarded shows that the management bureau's rules are humane enough.
"Adding the points from last time, I have a total of 58 points. What can I buy with them?"
Chen Miao's gaze swept over the exchangeable items, and finally he picked out a few.
[One bottle of stealth spray / 10 points]
[One bottle of liniment/spray / 10 points]
[One bottle of wound spray / 10 points] [Small Grade D sealing pouch / 10 points]
The four items cost Chen Miao 40 points in total, and he didn't have any particular thoughts about the remaining 18 points.
The items that peripheral investigators can redeem should all be basic.
The other things were either too expensive or Chen Miao didn't need them.
After finishing, Chen Miao planned to ask Qi Ning if he could get him a tactical vest like the one he was wearing.
Chen Miao had been envious for a long time of the convenience of Qi Ning's tactical vest in Fengmen Village.
If points are required, then points will be given; if money is required, then money will be given.
To Chen Miao's surprise, Qi Ning gave him a complete set of equipment, including a tactical vest, tactical belt, and tactical leg wraps. In addition, he also gave Chen Miao two Ghost Cubes!
Chen Miao was initially unwilling to accept, but Qi Ning bluntly stated the benefits he had received.
Chen Miao didn't ask how many points there were, but the two Ghost Cubes added up to one hundred points.
This shows that Qi Ning received more than he expected.
Qi Ning originally didn't need to tell Chen Miao, since Chen Miao had no idea about it.
But he still gave it to him, which made Chen Miao very happy.
I'm so happy to have made a new friend!
……
Time flies by.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past two months, Chen Miao has not encountered any paranormal events, which has allowed him to live a very regular life.
Every day, he either deals with matters related to the funeral home or draws talismans, practices carving, body-refining techniques, and the Heavenly Heart Locking Yang Secret Technique.
Because the two previous soul-suppressing spirit tablets were damaged, Chen Miao made three more, which consumed three coins of Yin virtue.
As for the basement below the dormitory building, he did clean out a room, but did not renovate it.
The Soul-Suppressing Room was too expensive; his own savings weren't enough.
Even if he converted the points into Xia coins, it wouldn't be enough, so Chen Miao didn't make any moves for the time being.
In addition, Chen Miao's Heavenly Heart Locking Yang Secret Technique has been successfully performed, so he no longer needs to draw vertical marks between his eyebrows every day.
And then there's the gradual, real-life corpse-stitching technique being taught!
Since the implementation of Chen Miao's new plan for the temporary placement of the body, five guests have already been received.
Because of the presence of these five guests, Shi Manman finally witnessed the true essence of the corpse-stitching technique.
Shi Manman gradually showed great interest in this.
However, she is currently unable to mobilize yin energy, so Chen Miao must be present to gather yin energy every time she sews up a corpse.
After that, Shi Manman was always very excited every time a client chose a new plan.
Chen Miao also expressed admiration for Shi Manman's talent.
Of the five corpses, Chen Miao used two for demonstration, while the remaining three were handled by Chen Miao himself through the Gathering Yin technique.
They handled it even better than Chen Miao!
Upon seeing this, Chen Miao immediately placed a spirit tablet next to Shi Manman's workbench and filled it with enough yin energy.
Regarding the gathering of Yin energy at the spirit tablet, Chen Miao also informed Shi Manman of some things to be careful about.
In this way, Chen Miao won't need to go there for future business.
When Chen Miao was setting up the memorial tablet for the soul-suppressing spirit, he also considered whether it was appropriate.
But then I thought about it and realized that since we should believe in time, we shouldn't hesitate or look back.
Moreover, the things he taught him did not include those techniques that violated human ethics.
So even if you slowly want to do something, it's very difficult to do so.
Besides these, there's also the matter of the Feng Shui arrangement for covering the ghost's eyes.
The progress of the "Covering the Ghost Eyes" feng shui arrangement is slow. In two months, Chen Miao has made many changes to the funeral home himself, but there is still a long way to go before the complete layout is successful.
This made Chen Miao even more amazed by Feng Bujue's talent.
I suppose Feng Bujue must be one of the geniuses Zhong Cai was talking about.
The feng shui arrangement is progressing slowly, but the Extreme Yin Body Refining Technique is progressing quite well.
In two months, Chen Miao's Extreme Yin Body Refining Technique has gone from not being able to endure even one repetition at the beginning to gradually being able to endure two repetitions now.
As for why the progress was so fast, it wasn't because Chen Miao suddenly possessed an iron will, but because Chen Miao found a way to reduce the pain during body tempering.
That method is none other than [State - Temporary Storage of Negative Emotions]!
