Chapter 31 Another Niedu Syndrome Patient

He agreed readily and decisively; if he hesitated for even a second, it would be his fault.

Three million!

He eats one of those high-energy nutrition bars (6666 each) and then throws away two!

Not only did they manage to scrape together enough money for a trip to see the interstellar wonders, but they also ended up with an extra million!

” Is the Religious Affairs Bureau that rich?” he asked Dao curiously.

Among all federal departments, the Religious Affairs Bureau is probably the most low-profile. He didn’t even know if Taian City had such a department, and he had never seen it in any official information.

“Actually, three million isn’t much.” Zhang Chongba shrugged. “The money isn’t the main thing about the federal bounty; the most valuable thing is the ‘merit points.’”

“Merit points?”

“Yes, credit points.”

Zhang Chongba nodded.

“It’s a very simple points redemption system, but the one that spearheaded the construction of this system is the Federation’s largest violent organ—the Federation itself.”

“Unfortunately, if you were working within the federal system, this mission could have been a very impressive resume.”

Ji Jingqiu’s eyes lit up: ” Does the Public Security Bureau’s external operations system count?”

“oh?”

Zhang Chongba glanced at Ji Jingqiu with some surprise, then nodded.

“Of course it counts. So you’ve joined the Public Security Bureau’s external operations system? That’s good. It’s the most liberating option for you.”

Cold Blade suddenly said, ” A Qiu, if Li Buyi is executed afterward, I can try to apply for you to be admitted to the ministry for evaluation.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chongba’s face twitched, and this time he was completely hesitant.

Because this statement involves a lot of sensitive issues, and he doesn’t have the authority to say it.

What is the relationship between Cold Blade and Ji Jingqiu? Are they really just online friends?

Within the federal government, the Religious Affairs Bureau is independent of any system and is accountable only to religions and deities.

Within the scope of authority, all departments must fully cooperate and there must be no mistakes!

Even the tax bureau, which claimed to have spent 500 billion yuan to upgrade and strengthen its armed forces a few years ago, still had to let Dao.

In addition, they have the highest security rank in the federal government.

Even the security ranking held by the Federal Security Bureau would have to rank them below.

It is said that when the Federation established the Early Stage, the first director of the Security Bureau slammed his fist on the table and roared, “What kind of bullshit Security Bureau is this? We might as well just give them the name!”

To the great regret of many members of the Administration Bureau in later generations, their first director was a bit too thin-skinned.

Otherwise, they should be called the 【Federal Religious Security Administration Bureau 】 by now.

As one can imagine, the entry requirements for such a powerful department are extremely high. They never recruit from outside the department, and they have their own set of internal recruitment standards and recommendation processes with many strict requirements, one of which is spiritual cultivation.

After all, one of their domains is a man-made god, so naturally, it has extremely high requirements for talent in spiritual cultivation.

But speaking of which…

Judging from the previous conversation, it seems that Ji Jingqiu’s passion was ignited during the Forging the Body phase?

With a sudden change of heart, Zhang Chongba noticed some details that he had overlooked earlier.

For example, the faint fragrance on Ji Jingqiu’s body, and the breath of Mind Sea hidden under the strong Zen atmosphere.

Zhang Chongba couldn’t help but ask, “Brother, you’ve already entered the Mind Sea? Did my second uncle guide you?”

At this point, Cold Blade’s gaze sharpened, awaiting Ji Jingqiu’s reply.

Ji Jingqiu hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, “I had some insights into Visualization Method yesterday, and I went into an unexpectedly deep dive, almost not being able to come back.”

Zhang Chongba tentatively asked Dao, ” Where are you at in your martial arts cultivation?”

“We are opening your meridians now.”

“Still opening the pulse?” Zhang Chongba asked with a puzzled look.

Could it be that I sensed something wrong? This isn’t the embryonic form of the treasure body after breaking through the limits?

Cold Blade picked up the conversation: ” A Qiu, you’re planning to break the Five Limits, then use Innate Reversal to solve the Niedu syndrome problem, right?”

“Yes.”

“ Niedu syndrome?!”

Zhang Chongba’s eyes widened in shock as he darted back and forth between Cold Blade and Ji Jingqiu, finally figuring out why Cold Blade cared so much about Ji Jingqiu.

Cold Blade took a deep breath. Dao:

“ A Qiu, the reason I came here is actually to take you back and find you a good martial arts teacher to guide you in learning martial arts.”

But since you’re learning martial arts from Lao Ba’s second uncle, there shouldn’t be any problem.

Mr. Yang was quite skilled at teaching discursive; he personally mentored Zhuge Liang back in the day.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chongba’s tall and imposing figure subconsciously shrank back, recalling some unforgettable past events.

Cold Blade turned to look at Zhang Chongba, seemingly seeking confirmation of whether what he said was correct.

Zhang Chongba chuckled and nodded, raising the banner for his second uncle:

“My second uncle is unparalleled in disciplining discers, especially in the Forging the Body realm, he’s absolutely masterful! You’ve probably met Yang Yao, right?”

Yang Yao Brother Great Master? “

“This kid’s already a Great Master?”

Zhang Chongba clicked his tongue,

“The last time I saw him, he had just started practicing martial arts. This kid’s martial arts talent was actually quite average, but under my second uncle’s tutelage, he eventually broke through the three limits!”

The future of Heart Manifestation is uncertain, but the Shackles of the Four Realms still have a good chance.

” Eighth Brother, how many limits did you break?” Ji Jingqiu asked Dao curiously.

“Me?” Zhang Chongba touched his bald head. “Under the guidance of my second uncle, I naturally broke through all five limits.”

Ji Jingqiu immediately gave her a look of admiration.

Zhang Chongba waved his hand smugly, then said with a touch of arrogance, “It’s nothing. Keep it up, bro, you can do it too!”

Cold Blade continues to speak:

“ A Qiu, I’ll be frank with you. I want your current physical data, as well as your data after Innate Reversal, or a blood sample.”

In addition, I would like to ask you to come with me to persuade some of my relatives, to tell them that Niedu syndrome is not incurable, and that as long as they persevere, there is hope!

In return, I can pay you a large sum of federal currency, and even cover your Cultivate resources all the way up to Innate Reversal!

Ji Jingqiu pondered for a moment, then said, ” Knife-Lord, do you want to prove that martial arts can indeed cure niedu syndrome?”

“Yes.” Cold Blade replied frankly.

Ji Jingqiu paused for a moment: ” Knife-Lord, do you have anyone around you who also suffers from niedu syndrome?”

Cold Blade’s deep voice said, “My niece, my sister gave birth to a girl last year, and afterwards it was discovered that she had Niedu syndrome…”

Zhang Chongba sighed.

Dao also knew about this. Cold Blade’s niece was extraordinary, naturally intelligent, with a strange physique, and was born with the rudiments of a certain kind of martial art.

These alone are enough to make this girl fall for a certain martial arts master. Great Master is pre-selected as the Disciple who will be shut down.

It’s just a pity…

He even advised Cold Blade to be rational and urged his sister to sign the euthanasia consent form as soon as possible so that the child would suffer less.

This time, Ji Jingqiu remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking:

“ Knife-Lord, I am now expressing my opinion to you from the perspective of someone suffering from niedu syndrome— ”

I do not recommend that you make this decision.

Zhang Chongba’s gaze was deep.

Cold Blade’s chest heaved violently.

“These sixteen years have been very difficult and agonizing.”

Ji Jingqiu spoke slowly and deliberately, his expression earnest and serious, as he recounted a cruel reality.

“Many times I think, how much better it would have been if I hadn’t been born. So I can’t, and don’t want to, use my personal experience to influence another patient’s life.”

Ji Jingqiu asked herself honestly, if she weren’t a transmigrator and didn’t have a mature mind, could she really have persevered?

The answer is unknown.

Therefore, Wu Fa uses his own experience to make choices for other people’s lives.

All he could do was tell Cold Blade what was on his mind.

Cold Blade wanted to argue, but he opened his mouth and then lowered his head with a bitter taste in his mouth.

In this world, even the most renowned medical experts at the Federal Central Union Hospital are not qualified to challenge the young man’s authority on this topic.

No one knows better than Ji Jingqiu what price must be paid to survive these sixteen years.

Zhang Chongba, standing to the side, seemed lost in thought.

He was thinking—

At this point, if Ji Jingqiu had expressed her support and used her own experience as an example to encourage them to persevere, saying that niedu syndrome is not a terminal illness, etc.,

So, Cold Blade, Cold Blade’s sister, and even the family he married into, might all be clinging to this last straw.

Actually, Cold Blade had already hinted at it quite clearly.

As long as Ji Jingqiu is willing to help, putting aside everything else, Cold Blade and the others will personally provide the weapons and resources needed for Ji Jingqiu to travel to Innate Reversal, without Ji Jingqiu even having to ask…

However, Ji Jingqiu, who had previously championed the “banner of civic duty,” did not.

He was simply offering his heartfelt advice.

No one would doubt the sincerity contained in those words.

But for Cold Blade, this sincerity was particularly painful.

This sincerity revealed that their decision was an immense torment for the baby girl, who was not yet a year old.

Cold Blade suddenly looked up, as if he had suddenly grasped a lifeline, and pressed Dao for an answer:

” A Qiu, how did your parents make that decision back then?”

Ji Jingqiu was silent for a moment, then grinned:

“When I turned one year old, they prepared a ‘grasping ceremony’ for me, which was called’seeing what I want.'”

Cold Blade remained silent, then said softly, “That’s a wonderful idea. Thank you, A Qiu. I will convey your good intentions and your parents’ wisdom to my sister.”

He slowly forced a smile:

“My niece will be one year old in two months.”

My niece is naturally intelligent; she could call out to people when she was only a few months old. If it were her, she would definitely understand what we mean…”

Ji Jingqiu earnestly said, “If she chooses to persevere, please let me know, and I will send her a gift.”

The prescription developed by his parents, though it would gradually worsen the pain, would at least allow the girl to live a normal life.

Of course, the choice is up to them.

After this topic was discussed, the room fell silent for a moment.

Zhang Chongba touched his bald head, cheerfully easing the tension, and raised his glass first:

” A-dao, putting everything else aside, we really didn’t mistake this brother for someone else! Come on, let’s all have a drink!”

Cold Blade’s expression softened as he smiled and raised his glass.

The three of them raised their glasses and clinked them together.

After putting down her glass, Ji Jingqiu asked the question that had been lingering in her mind:

” Eighth Brother, what exactly is the Supreme True Buddha Sect, and what is its Zen Buddhist connection?”
