Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 58 The Process of Death
Wang Yating was stunned when she saw the documents in Chen Miao's hand.

She took the documents.

After seeing the simple identification document that contained nothing but the words "Emergency Affairs Investigation Bureau" and a string of numbers, she scoffed.

"You've got some nerve, forging documents and doing it so carelessly. Do you know that one phone call from me and you'll be in jail today?"

After Wang Yating finished speaking, she noticed that Chen Miao did not show any panic, but was just staring at the book in his hand.

Chen Miao's nonchalant attitude made Wang Yating decide not to pursue the matter any further.

"This is your last chance. Take your certificate and leave, and I'll pretend nothing happened."

At this moment, Chen Miao finally put away the book.

In front of Wang Yating, he took out his phone and dialed the police, then handed the phone to Wang Yating.

"Just ask and you'll know if it's true or not."

Wang Yating looked at the familiar three-digit number on her phone and listened to the operator's voice, but instead of answering, she took out her own phone.

Scammers have many tricks up their sleeves these days, and perhaps Chen Miao's phone has been tampered with.

Since the other party is so confident, she doesn't need to give them another chance.

"Officer Wang, hello, I need your help with something... There's someone here impersonating a police officer, and they showed me an ID. I'd like you to check if it's genuine... Okay, it says Emergency Investigation Bureau on it, and the number is..."

Wang Yating kept looking at Chen Miao while she was speaking, but Chen Miao's expression remained calm.

This made Wang Yating frown slightly.

Soon, Wang Yating heard a reply from the other end of the phone.

"Officer Wang, have you found anything?"

"Hmm? Hmm, okay... I understand, thank you Officer Wang, thank you for your help."

As soon as I hung up the phone, Chen Miao spoke up.

"Do you believe it now?"

Wang Yating looked at Chen Miao and handed the documents back expressionlessly.

"The documents are genuine, so what? Am I obligated to cooperate with you? Putting aside the issue of you acting alone, where are your paperwork, your summons?"

"Heh, come find me after you've prepared everything."

While Chen Miao remained silent, Wang Yating called Xiao Xiao in.

"Xiao Xiao, please see this gentleman out for me."

Xiao Xiao nodded and gestured to Chen Miao to extend her hand.

"Sir, this way."

Chen Miao recalled what he had just seen, thought for a moment, and then took off one of the peach charms from his body and placed it on Wang Yating's table.

"This thing can keep you safe."

After putting down his things, Chen Miao left with Xiao Xiao.

Throughout the entire process, Wang Yating didn't even lift her head.

After Chen Miao left, Wang Yating looked at the peach charm.

Looking at the simple carving, Wang Yating casually threw the peach charm into the nearby trash can, but she didn't expect to miss and it bounced off the edge.

Wang Yating bent down to pick up the peach charm, her raised hand pausing for a moment.

She threw the peachwood charms onto the table.

……

After leaving the law firm, Chen Miao didn't go far. Instead, he went directly to the KFC across the street, sat down, and opened a book.

Chapter Three

"The special abilities I previously displayed led me to meet two special individuals in this field, Chen Guokun and Tong Yu."

"Because of the help they gave me in some matters, I agreed to go with them to Longtang Town to do some work."

"After a lot of running around, I was sent to contact a lawyer."

"It's less about contact and more about protection, because this lawyer might have gotten himself into trouble with something dirty." "And I need to use my mediocre skills to help this lawyer escape death."

"Fortunately, Chen Guokun gave me something to defend myself, which put my mind at ease."

"What I didn't expect was that when I found a lawyer, my good intentions were not accepted, even though I produced the documents that Chen Guokun had prepared for me."

"I wasn't angry because I understood her thinking. If it weren't for what I had experienced before, I wouldn't have believed the superstitious things a stranger was saying."

"Judging from their attitude, I felt that this matter couldn't be forced, so I left."

"Before leaving, I left the lawyer a rough draft of a century-old peach wood amulet, hoping it could protect her for a while if she encountered danger, so that I could take action."

"After nightfall, I followed the lawyer to her apartment complex and tracked her all the way. I learned her apartment number: 1102."

"At 22:48, after the lawyer's house lights were turned off, I went upstairs and waited outside her door, holding four sticks of incense and a century-old peach wood sword blank in my hand."

"At 23:40, I suddenly felt a chill. After realizing what was happening, I immediately lit incense and recited the 'Incantation for Subduing Evil Spirits'."

"At the same moment, a scream came from inside the room, and I quickened my chanting."

"As the chanting ended, the smoke from the incense wafted through the crack in the door, and I heard a shrill, inhuman scream. The chilling feeling then dissipated!"

"I knocked on the door, but no one answered. I immediately contacted Chen Guokun."

"After the people sent by Chen Guokun opened the door, I saw the lawyer in the bedroom with half of his face peeled off."

"I failed to protect the lawyer."

"The next day, after we reunited, I learned that the other two people we were protecting were still alive. Perhaps there were things we didn't know, which led us to misjudge the priorities."

"At four o'clock that night, I was awakened from my sleep in the hotel by the sound of a peach wood amulet breaking. When I opened my eyes, a pieced-together face rushed toward me."

"I casually pulled out a century-old peach wood sword blank from under my pillow and thrust it at the figure. The sword pierced through the figure, triggering a cloud of grayish-white mist, but it failed to stop him!"

"At the critical moment, I took out the cube that Chen Guokun had given me, and in the blink of an eye, the thing was sucked into it."

"Enduring the pain on my face, I took out the incense sticks."

"Chen Guokun said that the cube can only trap that thing, but it can't solve the problem."

"Therefore, I will perform a ritual to help her pass on to the afterlife!"

"But just as the aroma of fireworks rose along with the chanting, the cube broke."

"That pieced-together face broke through the incense smoke and lunged at me!"

"I'm dead!"

Chen Miao reviewed the chapter content again, his fingers tapping incessantly on the table.

He had grown accustomed to his death.

After all, every time a new chapter appears, it inevitably means he's dead.

What he cared about was the information revealed in the chapter!
"The information provided this time is quite extensive, which may be related to my visit to the cosmetic surgery center and my knowledge of Yue Na's situation."

"Or perhaps it's related to that state of being consumed by resentment."

"No matter what, the more information I have, the better it is for me!"

Chen Miao continued his analysis.

“First of all, Wang Yating will die. Her priority is higher than the other two. The three of us guessed wrong. Perhaps there are other reasons between Wang Yating and Yue Na that we don’t know about, which is why Wang Yating is the first victim.”

"Secondly, that ghost moves very quickly. From the moment I sensed the coldness to the moment the incense sticks lit and the smoke entered, the whole process took no more than ten seconds. So even if I knew about this, I would still have to find a way to get close to Wang Yating in order to truly stop Yue Na from killing people."

"Finally, when Yue Na killed Wang Yating, the Six Secret Techniques of Subduing Truth and incense sticks still had an effect."

"But by the second night, things had changed."

"The century-old peach wood sword couldn't repel this ghost, and the Ghost Cube that Chen Guokun mentioned for dealing with vengeful spirits broke for some unknown reason. Even the incense smoke couldn't stop Yue Na..."

All of this points to one thing.

"She's gotten stronger!"
