Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 238 Abnormality
When Chen Chuan approached the target, he found that it was a residential area. The houses here were old, the paint on the street guardrails was peeling, the connecting rods were dented by people stepping on them, the street lights had long been damaged, and there were only a few pedestrians on the road.

When you get here, you can hardly see any light and shadow effects through the boundary. Most of the people living here are probably those who do not have citizenship.

He looked down and based on the previous positioning, the problem occurred behind a building less than 200 meters away.

In addition to the suspicious commission, he also found relevant news reports, saying that large numbers of dead birds were often found in this area.

This alone would not be a big deal. Maybe something leaked, or the bird itself was sick, or it just hit an unidentifiable window.

But every time such an incident occurs, many local people say that they can see a huge bird shadow passing by.

Another person went to the scene to check. Sometimes he could see a person standing behind him in the reflection of the window, smiling at him. But the problem was that the person had a human head and a bird body. When he looked back, there was nothing.

Such news is very shocking and very eye-catching. However, citizens just listen to it as a curiosity at most, and it seems that few people continue to pay attention to it.

Although there was a commission to investigate the incident, the source did not seem to be a local. Instead, it looked like a wealthy person who wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

It didn't take Chen Chuan long to find the place where the bird had landed. It was on the roof of a residential building. In the corner, you could see a lot of feathers covered in dirt and dust.

At this time, he noticed that there were a lot of graffiti that looked regular on the guardrail not far away.

He walked over, identified it carefully, and found that it was actually a Tantric pattern.

So, this is not a ghost story, but... a secret religious ritual?
In his judgment, this tantric pattern was very amateurish and was just a poor imitation of certain patterns.

Not just anyone can draw Tantric patterns. To achieve the desired effect, one needs to be extremely precise and invest a lot of emotion, knowing clearly what one wants to do and what one wants to get.

The emotions are confused, there is no clear purpose, and the pictures are messy. Maybe the effect is to make people fall asleep? However, many people in the central city seem to have the habit of abusing drugs. If they use too much drugs and come here, they may be more affected and have various hallucinations.

Regardless of whether this is the case or not, he walked around here, and no shadow appeared on my body, which means that either there is no ghost story here, or it has been cleared out long ago.

He was not disappointed at this. He had prepared himself mentally when he came out. He did not expect to be able to determine the situation in one go. This was only the first place he had to check today. He still had to visit several places. So he came down from the balcony and came out of the residential area.

At this moment, at the edge of the residential area, more than a dozen people holding various tools and weapons had gathered, and under the order of the big brother, they dispersed and hid in the surroundings.

The man looked inside with a relaxed expression. This was not the first time they had done something like this and his brothers were very experienced, so nothing would go wrong.

He could tell Chen Chuan's background at a glance. He was of middle-class status and had some money, but not a lot. Maybe he came to the central city to seek refuge with a relative.

They have seen too many people like this, who obtain temporary residence permits through a sponsor and then try to find a job before their qualifications expire.

Even if you lose your citizenship, most people will not fire you and will be happy to hire you at a lower salary. This not only allows you to work people to death, but also allows you not to take any responsibility if something goes wrong.

The target this time may have practiced martial arts, but that’s okay, as this is not the first time they’ve dealt with a fighter.

Young fighters are actually very good targets. Being young means that they will not be too strong, and being a fighter means that their organs and alienated tissues are healthy and strong, and can be sold at a better price.

When Chen Chuan walked out the same way, he found that the few pedestrians who were originally scattered on the street had disappeared and the surroundings became quiet. He looked calm and continued walking forward.

At this moment, several cans were thrown out from the alleys and corners in front, behind, left and right and fell to the ground. Immediately, a pungent smell came out, and at the same time as a large cloud of smoke was spread, a faint smell was emitted. This was a paralyzing gas, which was specifically used to deal with armed fighters.

There were hurried footsteps all around, and in the smoke, several people holding black rubber-covered steel rods were running towards him quickly, while two people next to him each held a rifle, and with a bang, two large electrified nets opened and covered him.

The eldest brother watched confidently from behind. Once the net covered a person, there would be no way to break free. A ruthless beating with the steel rod would soon make the fighter lose his combat effectiveness. Then all he had to consider was moving him and selling him at a good price.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Chen Chuan walking out from the thick smoke. He looked like nothing had happened and his eyes were unusually calm.

He was stunned and his face changed several times. After a moment, he suddenly spat out the cigarette in his mouth and ran backwards.

But he did not run far as a stone came from behind and hit the back of his head with a bang. He fell forward involuntarily and lay there motionless. Only a liquid mixed with blood and implant tissue fluid flowed out of him.

The smoke in the rear was now slowly dissipating, revealing a dozen people scattered around with twisted bodies. Some were hanging on the guardrails, while others had their chests collapsed and pressed against the wall, as if they were embedded there.

Chen Chuan's pace did not change at all. When he passed the body of the man, he took a look and searched through his figure and face. He found that this man was involved in a case, suspected of trafficking organs and alienated organizations.

Judging from the tools these people carried, they probably wanted to capture him alive, then tear him apart and sell him.

These people all had implants, their movements were very agile, and they were fully equipped. Ordinary fighters, even with protective clothing, could be knocked down if they were not careful. He left directly from here, without any intention of reporting to the security patrol. Perhaps their accomplices would do something after discovering their bodies, which had nothing to do with him.

After coming out from here, he went to check other target locations, but found nothing there either.

It was already afternoon by then. He thought about it and felt that this way of searching was too inefficient. It would be better to let Lao Qi look it up on his behalf. After all, it would be easier for him to do the search as the client, and at most he would have to pay some fees.

He called up the contact interface, looked at Lao Qi's profile picture, and clicked it. After waiting for a while, Lao Qi's slightly tired voice came out from it, "Student Chen, is there anything I can help you with?"

Chen Chuan said: "Mr. Qi, I want to talk to you about the commission."

Lao Qi perked up, "Okay, that's it..." He smiled bitterly, "I'm in a bit of trouble right now, I may not be able to come out for a while, can you wait for me to come out..."

"Did something happen?"

Lao Qi sighed and said, "I was detained by the patrol and need to pay a fine. I'm looking for someone to collect the money now, so you may have to wait."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment, asked about the amount of his fine, and said, "I can help you pay the fine first, but I need your help with something."

When Lao Qi heard this, he immediately agreed and thanked him repeatedly.

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Wait for me to come over."

An hour later, Chen Chuan led Lao Qi out of the city patrol security post and came to a leisure chair on the roadside flower bed. Lao Qi first took a bottle of water and drank it in big gulps. After drinking it, he leaned back in the chair dejectedly.

After a while, he slowly said: "The money I just made from doing private work was taken away. This is the largest sum of money I have made in the past few years. Now it all goes to those bastards.

"These guys came right after I was done with my work. I thought to myself, maybe they wrote down my license plate number after we escaped from the Border Patrol that day. Maybe they've been keeping an eye on me for the past few days, ready to cause trouble for me at any time, so they caught me right away this time, fuck!"

Chen Chuan said: "Mr. Qi, you are actually quite lucky. If it were any other matter, it might not be possible to come out as easily as today."

"That's true." Lao Qi cheered up a little. He looked up at Chen Chuan and said, "Brother Chen, I'm grateful to you for today. By the way, I haven't asked you why you came to me."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "I currently need to take on some special commissions, but I don't want to deal with the commissioning company."

Lao Qi understood immediately and said, "I see. You can handle these tasks and I will find a way to deal with the other problems."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "That's what I mean."

Lao Qi said in embarrassment: "Brother Chen, you are flattering me. You are a regular student of Wuyi College and live in Xuangong Building. The commission you have done must be an extraordinary one. I..."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "These commissions do not involve any personal grudges or vendettas. They are just special commissions. You can make requests for the remuneration, and I will not force you."

After hearing this, Lao Qi's eyes changed. Now the school is about to start, if his daughter's tuition is not paid on time, she will be expelled from the school without any mercy.

If he wanted to survive in the central city, besides having a natural talent to be a fighter, he could only rely on studying, but education was very expensive, so he had to run around and find ways to raise enough money.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, rubbed his face vigorously, stood up and said, "Brother Chen, I did it!"

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Mr. Qi, you don't have to be like this. I just came to the central city and I just want to make some money. But if I do this alone, there will be a lot of troubles to deal with, and I won't be able to accomplish anything."

Lao Qi nodded in understanding and said, "What do you need me to do?"

Chen Chuan passed the suspicious entrustment to Lao Qi through Jie Ping, "For this kind of things, I need you to help me check the specific content first."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

An orange light flashed in Lao Qi's eyes. After a while, he said in surprise: "Brother Chen, so you are asking about the commission of abnormal events. However, there are already a group of people dealing with this kind of thing..."
