Chapter 128 Status - Perceiving with Eyes Closed (Bonus Chapter 27 for Monthly Tickets)

Chen Miao stared blankly at the completion reward for Chapter Six.

Although the female ghost wasn't particularly fierce, she wasn't entirely devoid of good karma either.

From Chapter 1 to Chapter 5, whether it's the main text, the side stories, or the epilogue, Chen Miao has never experienced a situation where he lacks good karma.

"What's the reason this time?"

Chen Miao thought back for a moment and it seemed there was only one reason.

"Soul Splitting Technique?"

"Can ghosts and spirits that have been divided by the Soul Splitting Technique not gain merit?"

Chen Miao frowned, feeling that the truth was probably not like that.

Chen Miao didn't believe that a soul-splitting technique could affect the operating rules of "Notes on Becoming a God in the Mortal World".

"If it's not a soul-splitting technique..."

Chen Miao's heart skipped a beat.

"Could it be because what I did this time wasn't a ritual to help the dead find peace?"

“My mindset was different when I used the Six Secrets of Descending Truth to perform the exorcism before, or when I used the peach wood sword for physical exorcism.”

"When I used the Soul Splitting Technique, it was for my own selfish reasons. The ghost's death was entirely due to my own lack of skill."

“In the previous instances, I was saving myself and didn’t have any other thoughts when I was eliminating the evil spirits.”

"So, is this the reason why I haven't accumulated any merit?"

"If one has a single evil thought, how can one accumulate good deeds?"

Chen Miao remained silent.

"Or perhaps, it's not that they don't accumulate good deeds, but rather that their good deeds are being used to offset certain negative influences?"

If what Chen Miao thinks is true, then those spells that use souls and ghosts as materials should be used with more caution in the future.

Of course, using it cautiously doesn't mean not using it at all!

If given the chance, Chen Miao would still not give up learning these techniques.

He then opened [Li Meifeng's Memory Fragments] and drifted off to sleep.

……

Li Meifeng felt that she was the happiest person in the world!

She met her Prince Charming as soon as she entered university. After four years of secretly admiring him, just as she was about to muster the courage to confess her feelings upon graduation, her Prince Charming handed her a love letter.

Li Meifeng had never believed that the air could be sweet, but on this day, she did.

After graduating from university, she met her Prince Charming—no, now her boyfriend!

They are doing well.

They are all making progress together, striving for the future they envision.

In her second year of work, Li Meifeng met her best friend of the life, Zhang Li!
No other woman has ever been so compatible with her; it seems they can think of the same thing with every glance.

Li Meifeng even suspected that Zhang Li was her long-lost twin sister from different fathers and mothers!
Over the next two years, Li Meifeng and her boyfriend became increasingly close, to the point that they were discussing marriage.

That day, her boyfriend gave her a necklace, which she loved.

Or rather, she loved every gift he gave her!
On the same day, her best friend Zhang Li told her that she had bought a house!
Li Meifeng was genuinely happy for Zhang Li, and then took her boyfriend to Zhang Li's new home to celebrate.

That night, because she was at her best friend's house, she acted recklessly and got drunk.

When she woke up groggily in the middle of the night, her throat was dry and she was about to ask her boyfriend to get her a glass of water, she found that he was not by her side.

Although she had doubts, she didn't think too much about it and went to the living room to pour herself a glass of water.

After drinking some water and becoming more sober, Li Meifeng wanted to sleep with Zhang Li.

But when she quietly opened the door to the master bedroom, she found that Zhang Li was not there.

With doubt in her mind, she turned on the light, but still found nothing.

Just as she was about to look in other rooms, her gaze suddenly fell on Zhang Li's dressing table.

With just one glance, a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.

That dressing table looks just like hers.

Just like with cosmetic brands, face mask brands, eyebrow pencil styles, and so on.

If Li Meifeng hadn't known she was at Zhang Li's house, she might have even mistaken the dressing table for hers!
Just as she felt that she and Zhang Li were a perfect match, she saw the necklace that Zhang Li had placed on the table.

A necklace exactly the same as the one her boyfriend gave her.

But, how is this possible?
My boyfriend bought a pair of necklaces that can be put together to form a heart shape.

Why is Zhang Li's the same as hers?
Walking over, Li Meifeng picked up the necklace and then took out her own necklace.

They're exactly the same. If you were to combine Zhang Li's necklace with her boyfriend's necklace, they could also form a heart shape. Li Meifeng smiled.

She wanted to share this coincidence with her boyfriend, so she walked out clutching Zhang Li's necklace tightly.

She was going to find her boyfriend and Zhang Li to tell them about this coincidence.

But just as she walked to the door of the second bedroom, the bathroom furthest from the room where she had just slept, she heard the sound of water and voices inside.

There were more than one person speaking.

Li Meifeng stood quietly at the bathroom door, listening to the familiar voice inside whispering familiar sweet nothings.

She smiled.

She and Zhang Li look very alike.

It's like being able to like the same person multiple times at the same time.

But why?

She arrived first, so why is that?

Li Meifeng turned around and left the bathroom door of the second bedroom.

Wearing the necklace with half a heart, she walked to Zhang Li's master bedroom, went into the master bathroom, and lay down in the bathtub.

As the water washed over her body, she used the 'half a heart' to cut her wrist.

In her hazy state, Li Meifeng suddenly felt a strong urge to know something.

"Have they finished washing?"

……

At six o'clock in the morning, Chen Miao got up as usual.

There was a hint of daze in his eyes.

Last night, in addition to Li Meifeng's memories, he had a second dream.

In his dream, he was taking a bath.

As he wet his hair, poured shampoo on his head, and lathered it up, he suddenly felt like someone was watching him take a shower!
He tried to ignore the feeling, but it was like a thorn in his side.

So he quickly splashed water on his face, opened his eyes, and glanced behind him.

Nothing at all.

The spiciness from the shampoo that hadn't been rinsed off made him close his eyes again.

But as soon as I closed my eyes, that feeling returned.

When I opened my eyes again, there was nothing there.

And so it went, until Chen Miao woke up, Chen Miao was still washing his hair in the bathroom in his dream!
Shaking his head, Chen Miao glanced at Xiang Shang, who was sleeping comfortably on the sofa opposite him, and then picked up his book from the table.

In the author information, a new status has been added to the status column.

[Perception with eyes closed]: When your eyes are closed and you concentrate, you will have a vague perception of your surroundings.

Looking at this state, Chen Miao thought of his dream.

He immediately closed his eyes.

Two full minutes passed before the outline of the sofa beneath his buttocks vaguely appeared in his mind.

The outline was just a faint white line.

Soon, he sensed the table next to him, but when he tried to sense Xiang Shang sleeping two meters away, he couldn't sense him at all.

"Only a two-meter radius?"

Chen Miao opened his eyes, somewhat dissatisfied.

He closed his eyes again.

This time, he directly activated the Ice Heart state.

Within two breaths, the sofa, table, and floor appeared in his mind, but that wasn't all.

Next up was Xiang Shang and the sofa he was sitting on.

Beyond the sofa, the senses extended another meter before being unable to proceed any further.

Chen Miao opened his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

"Within a radius of four meters, you can roughly sense the entire room from your bed in the bedroom, which is great."

"With this, I'll never be afraid of washing my hair again."
