Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 75 Status: Perception of Good and Evil (Seeking First Subscription!)
Since that day, Yue Na has frequently visited the orphanage.

Naturally, that's how I got to know that charlatan boy.

The child's name was Shi Xiaodao, and he was not yet six years old. He was usually not very talkative, and what Yue Na saw that day was something that rarely happened to Shi Xiaodao.

From the dean, Yue Na learned about Shi Xiaodao's past and felt pity for him.

After that, Yue Na would bring Shi Xiaodao some food and toys almost every time she came.

Shi Xiaodao also gradually transformed from being aloof to being a chatterbox.

Or perhaps, Shi Xiaodao was always a chatterbox, but he had just suppressed it before.

During her conversation with Shi Xiaodao, Yue Na also learned where Shi Xiaodao's charlatan-like talk came from.

That was taught to him by the elderly couple who had adopted him.

The elderly couple originally didn't plan to teach him, but they couldn't resist Shi Xiaodao's quick learning.

So the two elderly people stopped caring about it.

At first, Yue Na thought that what Shi Xiaodao had learned was just the kind of talk used by fortune tellers at street stalls.

It turned out that Shi Xiaodao actually knew quite a lot.

Shi Xiaodao can tell stories about some of the ancestors from the last century in the form of stories. Although Yue Na doesn't understand some of the things he tells, she often listens with great interest.

They even forgot that the person telling the story had a somewhat childish voice.

As they spent more time together, Yue Na began to consider adopting Shi Xiaodao.

But her own life was already so-so, could she support Shi Xiaodao as well?
By chance, Yue Na came across a live streaming platform. She watched as women with similar or even less attractive figures than herself could earn more money in a month simply by dancing.

Her heart was in turmoil.

When she was alone in her room, Yue Na also tried to start a live streaming platform and dance.

But because of her ordinary appearance and her lack of confidence, hardly anyone looked at her.

Feeling lost, Yue Na saw an advertisement for cosmetic surgery.

Looking at the perfect advertising slogans in the ads, Yue Na was tempted.

Perhaps, all she's missing is her face to become famous?
I hesitated and wavered many times.

Yue Na finally made up her mind...

The surgery cost a lot of money, but thankfully it went smoothly.

Having been given a new lease on life, Yue Na started live streaming.

This time, she had divine assistance!
In just one month, she gained hundreds of die-hard fans. Although she knew that these people were only lusting after her body, so what?

In an era where poverty is mocked but prostitution is not, being poor is the original sin.

After Yue Na earned money, she donated all the remaining money to the orphanage after paying off her loans.

The dean was very grateful, but Yue Na noticed that Shi Xiaodao seemed to have become somewhat silent.

Did this silence begin after her plastic surgery, or after her live stream?

She didn't know; all she knew was that she felt unwell.

When she was poor, she couldn't adopt Shi Xiaodao; now that she had money, she seemed to have lost her eligibility to adopt.

After spending a month together, Yue Na finally decided to give it a try, so she told Shi Xiaodao about her idea.

Then, Shi Xiaodao silently led her to the dean's office and guided her through all the procedures.

When everything was over, Yue Na asked Shi Xiaodao, puzzled.

Why is it that even though the feelings haven't changed, they have nothing to say to each other anymore?
Shi Xiaodao replied, "Every time I see your face, I think about how I can work hard so that you won't have to worry about money."

Yue Na laughed and cried.

Shi Xiaodao has changed his name to Yue Xiaodao!

Since then, Yue Na has earned more and more money, but her quality of life has not improved.

Conversely, after several renovations, the orphanage can now provide shelter for more children.

As Yue Xiaodao spent more time with Yue Na, he became less silent.

Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.

Until that day came...

Yue Na angrily confronted Future Medical Aesthetics Center, but they simply tossed her a contract aside.

Yue Na was furious and filed a lawsuit.

However, the verdict was not in her favor because she trusted the lawyer who had previously represented her friend in labor arbitration when she signed the contract.

If she had read the contract more carefully back then, if she had proposed not to cooperate with the publicity, would none of this have happened?

Standing on the rooftop, Yue Na looked down at the myriad lights of the city below, her eyes blurry with drunkenness.

But she couldn't find the one that belonged to her.

"Should I have never been born into this world?" With a step, the wind howled in my ears.

She watched the ground getting closer and closer to her.

She thought of Yue Xiaodao.

She regretted it.

……

Chen Miao regained consciousness at six o'clock the next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Stepping onto the balcony and looking at the pine and cypress trees outside the funeral home, Chen Miao suddenly felt like trying to smoke.

"If I keep looking at these fragmented memories, will I become depressed?"

Chen Miao made himself a cup of tea and sat down on the balcony.

Yue Na's memory fragments are long, but most of them are memories from when she was still a 'human'.

These memories begin in the orphanage, skipping over many details until Yue Na jumps off the building.

The memories after jumping off the building became even more fragmented, but these fragmented memories only appeared each time a murder occurred.

It seems that Yue Na only becomes fully conscious when she is killing someone.

These fragmented memories occurred six times in total.

The first five times were all murders, committed by the surgeon, nurse, salesperson, and lawyer—four people Chen Miao knew.

In the lawyer's memory, Chen Miao also saw Chen Guokun.

This battle was much simpler than the one under the big locust tree. Yue Na's memory was wiped out simply by throwing the Ghost Cube.

Besides these four times, there was one more time that neither Chen Miao nor Chen Guokun knew about.

It was a family of three, and Chen Miao saw Yue Xiaodao in the scene.

Chen Miao thought of the body buried under the cabin.

"Is this the family of the person who made Yue Na move the grave? So the surgeon wasn't the first one killed?"

Chen Miao suddenly understood why Chen Guokun had failed to catch Yue Na after killing the surgeon and nurse.

Because at that time, Yue Na had already killed five people, not two.

Chen Miao also appeared in the last memory scene.

That time, from Yue Na's perspective, Chen Miao felt that the resentment in Yue Na's heart was being dissolved and melted away by a gentle force.

After the resentment that had been controlling Yue Na disappeared, Yue Na regained her senses. She walked out of the cabin and came to Yue Xiaodao.

Chen Miao thus learned what Yue Na had said when she opened her mouth.

"I'm sorry, I've made you an orphan again."

Chen Miao didn't know what to say.

From Yue Na's memories, Chen Miao learned why he had to kill the lawyer first, but he didn't know how Yue Na broke free from the Ghost Cube during the chapter changes.

And why did the shade of that big locust tree become larger, and what effect did it have?
Perhaps these answers can only be found in Yue Xiaodao's memories, but Yue Xiaodao is still alive.

However, Chen Miao did guess where Yue Xiaodao learned these skills.

Yue Xiaodao's first adoptive parents!

"Those two old men should be in the same line of work as Zhong Cai and his group."

People like Zhong Cai are neither rare nor few.

"Why hadn't I seen this book before I got it?"

Chen Miao suddenly fell silent.

He then thought of the way Old Wang died.

Perhaps it's not that he hadn't seen it, but rather that he had seen it but didn't know it.

After finishing his tea, Chen Miao opened the book and turned to the author information section.
