Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 289 Sacrifice
After the man kowtowed several times, the flesh and blood tissue on the stone plate gradually turned into black rotten objects, and wisps of white smoke appeared from the seven orifices of the stone civet cat sculpture.

The man looked up and knew that it had worked.

As a famous cleaner, he does not rely solely on force to solve problems like other fighters. In his hand, he holds a strange legend bound by an ancient religion.

This thing is better than face-to-face combat and guns.

The conditions that drive the ghost story are also very simple, that is, he, the host of the ritual, is attacked by others.

In the old days, the master of the ceremony had to perform the ceremony personally, but with the advancement of technology, he no longer needs to do so.

Because the human biological field is regarded as a part of the human body, he only needs to use field technology to make his field appear at the scene and create an abnormal atmosphere. Once the target makes an action to drive away or attack, the conditions can be met.

The process looks simple, but it is actually not that easy. For example, if you turn off the boundary, all effects will be useless.

So he did three things. The first was to test and observe whether there was a resonator behind the target. It turned out that there was, so he had to interfere with and block out this resonator in advance.

The second is to let the patient with functional disorder syndrome come into contact with the target, in order to deploy his own strong field signal on the boundary at close range, so that when he encounters it next time, it cannot be shut down in a short time through his remote operation.

With the preparation of the first two steps, you can proceed to the third step.

According to the information, the target goes to Haijingchang one day every month. Due to the remoteness of the area, there is only one fixed tram every day with very few passengers, so it was decided to take action directly on the tram.

In order to strengthen the power of the ghost story and kill the target as quickly as possible, he even offered part of his internal organs and fragments of alienated tissue, and performed a ritual kowtow.

At this time, a contact person suddenly came in from the Jie Ping, and a dull voice sounded: "You Xing, please ask when the commissioned target can be resolved?"

You Xing said in a hoarse voice: "Tell the person who asked for it, it will be soon."

On the other side, the tram had arrived at the station. When Chen Chuan walked out of the station, he suddenly discovered that the signs of blurring that had been persisting on my body suddenly intensified and were becoming more and more serious.

After just a few steps, I could hardly see clearly and even my mind was no longer usable.

He had come across many strange stories, but he had never seen such a severe attack in such a short period of time.

However, since my second transformation, I have grown several times, including the battle with Wei Wusheng and the training in which I can feel clear progress. Now the overlapping time has reached two days and four hours, so although it is constantly being consumed, I can still maintain it.

He raised his head and looked at the Xuangong Building in front of him. Anyone with abnormal conditions would not be allowed to enter the academy.

He believed that the college must have a way to resolve this matter, but they might also investigate his condition at the same time, so he thought about it, did not move forward, but turned around and left.

He came to the Jinwei Beverage Shop where Teacher Wu invited him to have a drink and found a place to sit down. The environment here was very retro. It was drizzling outside at this time. He listened to the piano music on the record player and looked at the rain outside. The atmosphere was very good.

He called the waiter, ordered a hot drink, and took a newspaper that was only available in the store. He leaned back in his chair and slowly began to read it.

Now it depends on who can outlast whom.

In the dim house, You Xing was constantly standing up and kneeling down heavily, but slowly, he felt something was wrong because he had not waited for any result.

That means the target is not dead.

He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Although fighters have strong vitality and can hold on for a long time, more than an hour has passed now, and the opponent is just a Wuyi student who has not yet reached the third limit. No matter what, he should have been swallowed up by the ghost story. Is it because... he took medicine?
It suddenly occurred to him that the information he had collected showed that this student seemed to have defeated a fighter of the third level by taking medicine. If he found something wrong, it would be possible for him to maintain himself by swallowing drugs.

So……

His eyes were fierce. He used a knife to cut open the wound that had already healed, took some fragments of alienated tissue and scattered them on the tray in front of the statue, then kowtowed heavily.

With a swish, Chen Chuan changed the page of the newspaper in his hand. The newspapers provided by this beverage shop were very rich in content, ranging from gossip to anecdotes of important figures, as well as reviews of various clothing and beverages. It would definitely not be boring to read them.

Although he no longer had Jie Ping, he did not feel bored. It was a rare chance for him to relax.

Because this store is open all night, late at night and early in the morning are the times when it has the most customers, so he simply sat here all night.

When daybreak came, he found that the invasion was still continuing, but it had weakened a lot. Even his spiritual power was gradually recovering, but he still could not contact anyone.

Just relying on his past experience, he felt that this strange story might not disappear just like that, but rather it seemed like an intermission, and there might be more situations in the future.

This was the first difficult ghost story he had ever encountered, so it seemed that some preparation was still needed.

After thinking about it, he stood up to pay the bill, returned to Xuangong Building when the abnormality was not so obvious, and found the last bit of ritual materials left in the dormitory.

This was left here deliberately, so he could arrange a simple restraint ceremony, but he had to find a suitable location. He thought about it and the place where Teacher Wu's old house was located was a good one, remote and undisturbed. After making the decision, he replaced the original badge with an old one, picked up the luggage bag and went out, heading straight for the tram station.

In the dim room, You Xing's kowtow had caused a dent in the ground in front of him. He had been kowtow here all night, but still no result came.

He began to feel something was wrong, because this ritual had a flaw that was not a flaw, which was that there had to be a sacrifice after the ritual began.

If the target cannot be killed using the ritual, then it is very likely that he will be the one to be sacrificed instead.

what is the problem?

He was extremely upset, but he couldn't stop until he got the result, because once he stopped, it would mean that he had given up.

So while he was bowing, he was also trying to check the results, but the target seemed to have entered the Xuangong Building, and he couldn't break through the biological field there at all, so he could only continue.

An hour later, Chen Chuan arrived at the wasteland. He picked a collapsed house that provided shelter from the wind, drew a simple pattern on it, and then stood in the middle.

After waiting for a while, nothing unusual seemed to happen, but then he felt something and looked at a piece of broken glass in the ruins.

In the reflection of the broken glass, there was something that looked like a civet cat lying behind him.

His eyes flashed, and he reached out his hand, grabbed the thing, and slowly pulled it off his back.

This thing seemed to be formed by smoke, and as he pulled it, its four legs still held him tightly. But as he pulled vigorously, it seemed to have reached its limit and suddenly broke into a ball and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, the ghost walker who was kneeling suddenly let out a shrill scream. Claw marks appeared on his belly and back, his skin and flesh were rolled up, and his bones and internal organs were exposed.

He quickly crawled to the side and swallowed the medicine he had prepared in advance. After a while, the wound gradually healed, but his eyes revealed shock, anger and fear.

The ritual failed.

The reason he didn't die just now wasn't because the ghost story let him go, but because it would wait for him to grow back and then come back to devour fresher flesh and blood, and repeat this several times unless it could kill the target.

He looked gloomy. If that was the case, then he could only choose the most direct method.

After Chen Chuan and others could no longer feel the invasion of strange stories, they left the wasteland and contacted Wu Bei to tell him about the situation. Wu Bei also said that he had not been able to contact him since yesterday. At first, it seemed that someone had intentionally interfered with the field signal, and later it seemed that there was a problem with his boundary.

Chen Chuanshuo said: "It should be the influence of an anomaly. I changed a boundary certificate. The previous one can't close by itself. It seems that someone tampered with it remotely. Brother Wu, is this technically possible?"

Wu Bei said: "It is generally impossible to do so, unless it has happened at close range... That's right!" He suddenly said, "That patient with the mental illness! Yes, it must be him!
If there is close field contact, it is possible to transmit the strong field signal to your realm, Brother Chen, but this technology is very advanced and requires expensive field creatures as assistance. "

Chen Chuanshuo said: "So if we have these, can we do it?"

Wu Bei replied: "If it were me, with these conditions, I could barely do it. If it were someone with higher skills, it shouldn't be difficult."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Brother Wu, you just said that the other party might transmit the strong field signal to my realm in order to control it. Since the other party has left a field trace, can you use this to find this person in turn?"

Wu Bei said: "If the traces of strong signals are not erased, there will be no technical problem."

The connectivity of field signals requires the transmission of boundary points, and information will be left behind within a certain period of time. It would be a huge workload to erase all traces on the path, so the usual way of dealing with it is to simply eliminate the traces on the endpoints, which is equivalent to closing the door of the path, and it will then be impossible to find it.

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "It should still be there."

Because his boundary certificate was unusable at that time, the opponent could not use it to do anything to him. Later, he returned to Xuan Gong Building. No matter how good his skills were, the opponent could not directly bypass the field barrier of Xuan Gong Building to do anything.

Wu Bei said: "If it is still there, then I will try to find it."

Chen Chuan nodded and rushed back to the academy immediately. Considering that bringing the boundary certificate out might be discovered and the traces might be erased, under Wu Bei's guidance, he put it into the box that had previously packaged the boundary certificate. The special resin in the box could isolate it from the invasion of the field.

After taking out the things, he did not go to Wu Bei's residence, but agreed to meet in a temporary garage. He arrived first, and a few minutes later, Wu Bei also arrived.

After the two met, they exchanged a few words. Wu Bei opened the box and quickly took the Jie Ping in his hand to check it. He said in surprise, "The signal is still there!" He reached out and touched the Jie Ping, and said excitedly, "I'll go look for him and see where he is."
