Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 255 Changes
On the hill, the two-story building was on fire, billowing black smoke rushed into the sky, and sparks were flying all around.

Following Teacher Wu's instructions, Chen Chuan burned both the body and the house together with algae oil.

In order to clean up all the traces thoroughly, he picked up all the broken wooden fragments from the fight between the two men and threw them in.

At this moment, something on the grass was swept by the air flow and suddenly flew over. He reached out and grabbed it, and saw that it was the Molan Company advertisement. He took a look at it and threw it into the fire.

After checking once and seeing that nothing was left behind, he used his boundary certificate to contact Wu Bei, "Brother Wu, was there anyone who observed the battle just now?"

Wu Bei's voice came: "Don't worry, Brother Chen. While you guys were fighting, I blocked all the biological fields in this area. There's almost no one here anyway, so you don't have to worry about someone reporting it."

Chen Chuan nodded. The central city was different from the others. Because of the existence of boundary certificates and boundary points, things that happened in some places could be reported and viewed through other means, so there must be someone responsible for intercepting the messages.

And not only that, if necessary, he can also let Wu Bei cause some malfunction in Teacher Wu's boundary to affect his attention for a moment.

Wu Bei was also extremely excited. In fact, in the previous battle, he didn't see anything clearly except when the two men stopped. He just saw the bricks, stones and wooden boards shattered, and there were big holes on the ground. This kind of power was simply inhuman.

The last time Chen Chuan and Jin Xia commissioned a company to fight, he thought that was impressive enough, but this time he really saw what level a powerful fighter was at, which was completely on another level.

At this time, he thought of something and said, "Brother Chen, this teacher Wu, his condition, um, seems to be suffering from a mental illness."

"Sickness?"

“Well, the way the government and the companies define it now is dysfunctional syndrome.

This theory states that under the long-term influence of the biofield, long-term use of the environment, and the multiple stimulations of drugs and implants, human cognition will swing back and forth between illusion and reality.

They cannot recognize who is their true self and who is the real world. In a state of cognitive confusion, they often do things that are difficult for normal people to do.

Oh, it's just a theory, it's complicated, so that's all I know."

Chen Chuan nodded slightly. He had felt before that when he came to the central city, the surrounding environment had some slight invasion to the second self. That was actually caused by the exchange of biological fields.

Being in this kind of environment for a long time may have some slight impact on ordinary people, but for fighters, it is not really harmful. There may be more complicated reasons behind Mr. Wu's situation.

Moreover, he looked down the hill and saw that the area where he was standing was also problematic...

But he had no time to explore. After all, the central city was full of vitality, with everything flourishing. He had neither the energy nor the possibility to figure out every single thing.

Now, there was something more worthy of his attention.

This time in the battle with Teacher Wu, even if he didn't pay special attention to it, he could be sure that the overlapping time with his second self must have exceeded twenty-four hours.

He had a feeling that there might be some changes in me the next day. Now it was very close to twelve o'clock, and he would know the answer soon.

He said hello to Wu Bei, closed the interface, and took out his watch from his pocket.

Time passes minute by minute.

Finally it was twelve o'clock.

Chen Chuan put down his watch and was about to see if there was any difference from the past, but suddenly he felt something strange.

This is……

He looked outside and observed intently. Whether it was the flying sparks or the leaves and weeds drifting in the wind, everything seemed to be moving much slower than what he had just seen.

It's like overlapping a second self.

But the problem is that I didn't choose to overlap.

He clenched his fists, feeling the strong and abundant power.

So that's how it is. After the twenty-four hours overlapped, the second me was completely integrated into his body. So... did the "second me" disappear?
No.

He looked to the side and saw that his "second self" was still standing there intact, with slight signs of becoming empty, and was still bearing the external attacks for him.

He changed his mind and with a movement of his will, he overlapped it. However, this time, it seemed that apart from being able to replace the damage, there was no additional overlapping effect.

No, that's not the case.

It's not that there is no improvement, but that the improvement is very slight.

It was like... well, it was like the power of an ordinary person was superimposed. His mind was racing, and he released his second self again. After taking a few more glances, he suddenly understood something. The physical fitness of this second self should be the same as it was at the beginning, when he just crossed over.

He had made this judgment before. The second thing he thought was that I might be the same self in another world, the same self as himself, but the boundaries of the world were broken only because of his arrival.

Now, when a certain limit or condition is reached, the same self will achieve perfect fusion with him, but the second self will not disappear. It's just that after that, the second self will return to the starting point, that is, return to the appearance when he first arrived.

There was no need to try at this moment. When it overlapped, he could clearly know that the overlapping time was one day and four hours. This seemed to have broken the limitation of twenty-four hours and moved towards a longer end.

He can feel that the strength of this second self will gradually grow with time. It is not accurate to say that it will grow. It should be said that the strength will continue to move closer to his current level, but this process may require him to push it forward.

It is not clear whether his current strength will be close to his current strength or not, but even if it is the latter, the improvement will be huge.

And in the overlap, he found that he seemed to have one more choice.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he found that his body had returned to its previous state.

When he chooses to overlap the second self, he can suppress the expression of his physical fitness to the level before the fusion, which is equivalent to peeling off the original second self that has already been fused again in disguise.

This is somewhat interesting.

This is not a useless ability, but a very useful one, because the stronger an individual is, the more matter and energy it needs to exist and maintain its activities.

For example, the nutrition he needs to take in during training is much more than before. If he reaches a higher limit, he will probably have to consume a lot of energy just to maintain his existence. If he can keep it at a low limit for a long time, he can reduce or avoid this situation.

And there may be other uses for this. He has already thought of one and thinks he can go back and try it.

He looked at the raging fire in front of him and remembered what He Xiaoxing had once said to him. The so-called "limit" means that a person's power has its limits. As long as they are still human, no matter how powerful the alienated organization is, there must be an upper limit at a certain stage, and only a theoretically perfect individual can reach it.

During the test, even with the second self, he still couldn't reach the theoretical upper limit, but only approached it. Now that the second self has been integrated, I wonder if I have reached this upper limit in the second limit? Or is there still a distance?
He felt that there might still be a limit, but with the second me, he felt that one day he might be able to reach or exceed this limit.

He stood there quietly, in front of the red-hot fire, with the silent night behind him, Xuejun Knife stuck to the side, and the distant wind blew, causing his scarf and windbreaker to flutter.

After waiting for more than an hour, the fire was finally extinguished and the whole house was completely burned down. He confirmed that there was nothing special left, opened the boundary again, and cleaned up some remaining traces with the help of Wu Bei. Then he picked up the Xuejun Knife and left.

By the time he arrived at the station, it was nearly two o'clock, but when he took the elevator back, the carriage was at least half full, most of them company employees.

These employees maintain longer working hours through drugs and implants, which means they end their get off work hours one or two hours later than normal, and many employees have become accustomed to it.

While on the tram, Chen Chuan used his knowledge to look up the two people that Teacher Wu mentioned last.

Yuan Binshu might not be a member of the academy. He doesn’t seem to be among the teachers or the top management of the academy, and he doesn’t look like a student either. We can keep an eye on him later.

As for the other person, Teacher Wu did not finish his words, but he noticed that among the teachers and senior executives of the college, only two people had the surname Ling. One was the college consultant who was in his eighties and did not even have any courses, and the other was Ling Jianxing, assistant to the vice-president.

He felt that the person Teacher Wu was talking about was most likely the latter.

Teacher Wu’s incident might be somehow related to these two people. If so, will these two people and the people involved in this incident behind the scenes give up because of the former’s death?

He felt that if there was a deeper purpose behind this matter, then it would most likely not happen.

While he was thinking, the tram went all the way back to the school. When he came out of the station and walked towards the Xuangong Building, it was already past three in the morning.

When he was about to step into the hall, he looked up and saw Hongfu standing above him, and nodded to her.

When Hongfu saw him, her lively eyes from above her veil looked over and she also nodded in greeting.

Chen Chuan withdrew his gaze. From the moment he came down from the hill, he overlapped his second self and maintained himself in his previous state.

His biofield expression is almost the same as when he left the academy.

After walking into the lobby and entering the elevator, he looked at the sign that kept moving upwards, thinking in his heart that although the overlap time with his second self has exceeded twenty-four hours, options such as lowering his own status and transferring damage and invasion will undoubtedly reduce this time.

And in order to get the second me back to a state close to my own strength, he will still need to find a way to extend the upper limit.

The elevator door moved to both sides, he walked out, pushed the door and returned to the dormitory. After putting down the Xuejun Knife, he looked at the gorgeous night view outside, went over to close the curtains, took a shower first, and then went to rest.
