Chapter 34: Investigation.
- Informal investigation team: Boss, Recruit, and Subordinate. -
Recruit had the habit of always recording things on his laptop when he is in a "case", so he was fairly grateful for the bigger memory contained on the pc. But right now he is searching for cases with a sunburn on the victims.
It "surprising" took way longer than it should, but neither Boss nor Subordinate could possibly know that for then Recruit was relentless searching. He already found two suspicious cases related to sunburn.
The first one was some junkie who died close to a hospital, he apparently broke his neck, but the most curious thing was this sunburn mark on his face. ITs was strange but the investigator just thought the guy slept in the sun or something like that, you never know with the junkies right?
But recruit knows better, the mark was pretty similar to what he saw in all those bodies in the massacre. So it is probably the same person or has some kind of correlation with him.
A pointed sharp object was found with some blood, but sadly by the time someone found it the blood was too decomposed for any kind of examination, and the police weren't going around making such a deep search for when a junkie/gang member was killed, they are already overworked with the mess the return of the Hound dogs and Red Comand brought to the streets. So the case was closed or postponed pretty quickly.
After that, he didn't find any murder cases suffering from the same sunburn. But he found some hospital entries with it, normally a sunburn isn't something you would go to the hospital for. But those sunburns were pretty grave.
After a little bit more research and he found that those were some members of the Red Command... But why would they have the same marks? What kind of relationship has the killer with the Red Comand?
Those are questions the recruit really didn't want to find answers to, and he was not going to tell Boss about them until he asks. Right now he will write everything on a document to pass even more time.
"Why are you writing? shouldn't you be searching for more clues?"(Subordinate).
Yeah, there is now Recruit stalker here at his side looking at his every action like a hawk, but he isn't that dumb, he already prepared an answer for it in advance.
"Well, I like to write and make things as organized as possible."(Recruit).
"You see this subordinate. That is what efficiency is like, organization and PLANNING."(Boss).
The Boss talking made Subordinate shut up. It appears even his lifelong friend knows that pushing the buttons of a madman that can murder him easily is a bad idea. So Recruit returned to his "searching". He searching numerous and strange cases he could find and kept writing and recording everything.
And when subordinate grew tired of observing him he decided to secretly write about everything the boss to him, from the Deterrents and [Origin Techniques], to don Gozo history. It was difficult and he felt like he was walking on thin ice with the periodic glances the Subordinate would throw his way. But Recruit persevered and was able to write all the necessary info under such pressure.
Boss continued driving away, while recruit searched relentlessly for clues and a for to escape...

- Yang Jin -
I spent the whole night in the same manner, slowly gathering and distributing my Ki on my whole body. It felt nice, and every time I completed a cycle of gathering and distributing I would feel a bit better.
It was like my whole body, more specifics my cells were on a feast. Every time Ki touched then they would feast and feed on it, becoming more energized and cleaner.
It felt like the starved beasts that were my cells finally start feeding themselves, it was like they were trying to compensate for sixteen years without food in a single instant.
That instant I finally knew why they said Ki and Body are correlated. In the Shi-Woon situation, he had an exceptionally weak body, thus the excess ki he received from the [Divine Dan] was used to strengthen it to new levels, his regeneration as also compared to a planarian indicating how fast he recovered.
I am his exact opposite, I have a pretty strong and well-trained body. I ate the right foods and exercises to my limits regularly, besides having [Ripple] energy constantly filling my body, energizing, and helping its vitality. I could say that my body was at its peak performance. So when I added Ki most of my cells greedily devoured the new nourishing substance, they found something they have been starved for years, and the Ki didn't have to boost the other aspects of my body like in Shi-Woon case. It could just do its function of bettering and improving it.
This is something positive because I will have a somewhat way more smooth road on cultivation, principally when I have gotten better used to Ki and gathered enough experience for me to finally start [Step Two] of Ki training. Exercising while circulating Ki.
The [Second Step] is the step that brings the most benefits to the body of a cultivator because while doing exercise you stimulate your blood circulation thus stimulating your body. and when you tear your muscles on training with these conditions met you circulate Ki which will be able to soak your body way more easily than normal.
That step is one I am awaiting the most, because [Ripple] will be able to help me heal my muscles, and I want to see possible combination training with Ki and [Ripple]. I am sure I will have some very pleasant surprises in this endeavor.
But right now I have barely started on the gathering and distribution training, and I will have to do that in movement. So now my priority is getting used to it, gain a lot of experience, and generally know my Ki better to try to do it in movement with exercises after the [Step Two] of Ki training.
But right now it's time to get ready for school. When I stopped using the [Black Heaven and Earth Technique] and retracted the senses from within myself, the first thing that greeted me was a strong pungent smell.
It was literally the worst type of smell I had ever felt. It smelled like something rotten and residue at the same time, but you could Stella distinct otherworldly feeling to it. No, it would be more accurate to say it was a mystical smell on it, but it was bad nonetheless.
These are of course impurities I released during the night, liking it or not this is the residue produced by my cells after their feast last night. Talking in a more crude way, it simply the feces of my cells.
Taking a bath and removing the feces took more time and effort than I would've thought, the smell was particularly very difficult to get rid of, and even after taking a bath more than three times I always felt like it was still sticking to me.
But eventually, I had to settle for a simple satisfying result and put up on my clothes and went to make breakfast. The moment I started to make food was when i did notice that i was exceptionally hungry, It was not surprising considering that I practically spent the whole night cultivating. So I ate a hefty breakfast and then went to school.
Reaching the school I discovered that Shi-Woon was at the infirmary, apparently, he pushed himself too much and almost had a heart attack. That shitty [Three Yin Body] is really fucking curse to anyone.

ClearSkySage One thing I never like about the original I how shallow their description of cultivation is, so I am trying to develop it a bit more.
