Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 17 Can’t find it

These days, Chen Miao did indeed look forward to opening the book one day and seeing the changes within it.

In this way, he can try to use the "Six Secrets of Descending Truth" to deliver the souls of the dead and obtain merit and other mystical items.

But all of this is based on his ability to solve the problems that appear in the book.

But now, there's only one sentence in the book!

There was no background, no location, only one time... midnight!
Even if Chen Miao wanted to use the "Six Secrets of Descending Truth" to deliver the souls of the dead, he didn't know where to do so.

"Where does the danger actually come from?"

Chen Miao calmed down and began to ponder this seemingly random death threat.

Once his mind started working, all the surrounding distractions were left behind.

Ice Heart state, enter!

“I check the changes in the book every day now. The last time I checked the book today was around noon. This morning, a funeral home in the next county rented our crematorium to process a body. To prevent any problems, I glanced at the book.”

"The contents of the book did not change at that time, and I have not opened the book since then until just now. In other words, the threat appeared between noon and 10 pm."

“During this period, no more customers entered the cold storage, no new urns were stored in the columbarium, the crematorium was no longer used, and I did not hold a memorial service.”

"It's been very clean lately! So where did this danger come from?"

"No, I shouldn't just think about 'entering,' I should also consider the 'changes' inside the museum. By the way, the twins' family came today, saying they had contacted the uncle."

“They took one of the twins from the funeral home. At the time, I was puzzled by their actions, but I didn’t look at the book.”

"Aside from this incident, nothing else has changed in the library. Although it seems a bit unbelievable, it seems that this is the only thing most likely to cause changes to the content of the books."

"Go take a look! If it really is those twins, then the contents of the book should change if it's close to the remaining twin children in the cold storage."

With this thought in mind, Chen Miao took the book and headed towards the cold storage.

Chen Miao had already contacted Tang Rui before going, so the door was opened quickly after he knocked.

"Chen Miao, you're here. What happened?"

Tang Rui found it strange that Chen Miao suddenly said he wanted to come to the cold storage so late at night; he thought something had gone wrong.

"No, there's something I need to confirm."

As Chen Miao spoke, he walked into the cold storage.

As soon as he entered the cold storage office area, he opened the book and glanced at it.

Chen Miao was still a little worried about coming to the cold storage to see the body so late at night.

He was afraid that once he arrived, the word 'early morning' would suddenly become the current time.

Fortunately, the content of the book remains unchanged, but the bad things also remain unchanged.

If the problem cannot be found in the cold storage, then it's even worse.

Thinking this, he arrived at the room where the freezer was stored. Before entering the room, he glanced at the book again, but there was still no change.

Tang Rui was baffled by Chen Miao's action.

But Chen Miao had no intention of explaining these things to Tang Rui; at that moment, he had already pushed open the door.

Chen Miao stepped into the room, facing the cold air.

With a quick glance, Chen Miao saw Li Shilei's name.

Was there another twin next to Li Shilei before?

"Yes, don't you think it's strange? If they were going to take them all, why did they take one and leave one behind?"

Chen Miao didn't reply. Just as he was about to open the cabinet, he saw Tang Rui take a step forward and touch the cabinet's valve before he could.

"I come."

"do not move!"

Chen Miao's sharp shout startled Tang Rui.

During the time they had known each other, Tang Rui had never seen Chen Miao lose her temper, and Tang Rui was stunned for a moment.

Chen Miao regretted it a little after he yelled it out.

Ultimately, he was still a little nervous.

However, he had his reasons for not letting Tang Rui touch it.

The book in his hand couldn't predict other people's deaths. If there was a real problem, the book might reveal something when Chen Miao touched the cabinet.

In this way, he can stop acting at any time and respond accordingly.

But if Tang Rui opens it directly, and if there's something fishy going on, Chen Miao won't have time to react.

Chen Miao saw that Tang Rui had misunderstood, so he did not explain.

"Brother Tang, can you hold this book for me? Just unfold it like this."

Chen Miao opened the book, turned to the second chapter, which had only one line of text, and handed it to Tang Rui.

Tang Rui glanced subconsciously at the densely packed small print in the book, feeling even more uneasy. But after Chen Miao's shout, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Chen Miao gripped the freezer door with both hands, but his head remained fixed on the books.

Click! Click!
As the cabinet valve was turned, Chen Miao's attention became even more focused.

The valve was turned open little by little.

The cabinet door was also opened a crack.

But even at this point, the contents of the book remained unchanged!
With a question in mind, Chen Miao opened the entire cabinet door.

Nothing changed!

Pull Li Shilei out.

Still no change!

Chen Miao even reached out and touched Li Shilei's face, but the contents of the book remained unchanged!

The problem isn't here?

Chen Miao frowned, pushed the body back in, and took the book back from Tang Rui.

After witnessing Chen Miao's series of actions, Tang Rui suddenly had a bold guess in his mind.

Does Chen Miao have unusual fetishes?

Tang Rui felt a chill in his heart, but he dared not say anything. He had heard about the relationship between Chen Miao and the curator these past few days. If he offended him, would he still have his job?

Chen Miao didn't notice anything unusual about Tang Rui. The cold storage was fine. He was going to the crematorium and columbarium later to check if there were any problems there.

But just as he was about to leave the cold storage, he suddenly remembered something.

He turned to Tang Rui and said, "Brother Tang, you go home tonight, I'll take the shift."

Tang Rui was startled.

Could it be that Chen Miao is going to do something more to the corpse?
What should I do? Should I stop it?

"Brother Tang?"

Seeing Chen Miao frown, Tang Rui immediately said, "Okay, I'm leaving right now! I'm leaving right now!"

After saying that, Tang Rui went back and took his phone and water bottle with him, then left without looking back.

Chen Miao watched Tang Rui leave and then casually closed the door to the cold storage.

After another ten minutes, Chen Miao walked through the columbarium and crematorium.

But the books remained unchanged.

With the time approaching 10:30 and less than an hour and a half before his sudden death, Chen Miao could no longer act like a headless fly.

If we can't find it, then we won't look for it anymore!
After returning to his office, Chen Miao exchanged four incense sticks for offerings and then took out the items he had prepared in his office for worship.

He has another one like that in his dorm!
This is done to prepare for unexpected situations where there is no time to prepare anything.

With the box full of things, Chen Miao returned to the cold storage.

What he has to do is simple.

Since we don't know where the attack came from, or who to pray to, we won't look for it.

The danger came in the early morning, so when the time came, Chen Miao lit the incense!

If there were any ghosts or spirits around, he would immediately perform a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife!

There is no other way.

As for why it's in a cold storage?
One reason is that I'm not entirely at ease with the only corpse in the museum. In addition, it's also related to 'Old Wang's memories' when I obtained 'Bing Xin'.

In the cold storage, his mind became clearer.

After placing the incense burner and offerings on Tang Rui's desk, Chen Miao sat down in a chair.

What he has to do now is wait until dawn to deal with the impending crisis!

Time passes by little by little.

At 23:30 PM, Chen Miao felt a bit cold and turned up the temperature in the office area to 26 degrees Celsius.

At 23:40, Chen Miao was still cold, so he continued to raise the temperature.

At 23:50, when Chen Miao picked up the air conditioner remote again, he did not press the button.

He seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at the book on the table.

Put down the remote control and open the book.

What comes into view is no longer those five short words.

After Chen Miao finished reading the newly appeared content, he immediately grabbed the offerings, incense burner and other items on the table and quickly entered the room where the freezer was located!
