Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 297 Old friends
Along with this scream, Chen Chuan saw that the signs of virtuality on the second me increased again. At this moment, he could only see the faint shadow of the second me.

The overlap time is being reduced at a very fast rate.

Everything around him, including cement bricks and broken glass, was shaking constantly. At the same time, he could see that the esoteric ritual patterns around him were gradually becoming lighter. This was the ritual fighting against the strange stories.

Fortunately, we anticipated the power of this ghost story, and added a lot of ritual materials this time. Besides, he himself was standing here, bearing most of the damage, so there was no need to worry about him escaping.

He ignored the crows and biting sounds of the raccoon cat, bent down, and picked up the stone that was originally on the back of the raccoon cat's neck. This piece was broken into a small cube by him.

He endured the screaming attack of the ghost story and threw away the other broken stones one by one. Finally, he placed the stone in his hand at the center of the ceremony.

After placing it, he stepped out from the middle position, picked up the pen and added the final stroke of the restrained ceremony on the outer circle. At the moment the stroke fell, he heard a "wuhe" sound, and the stone trembled a few times and turned over.

In just that instant, Chen Chuan saw that the invasion effect on his body disappeared instantly. Knowing that the ritual had taken effect, he walked back in and picked up the stone.

The moment he made contact, his body began to show signs of slight weakness.

He had planned to take this thing back to polish and carve it so that he could carry it with him at all times. Due to the special nature of this strange story, it might not only be used for cultivation, but also for other purposes.

Back in the car, he started the Gard car and headed back to Xuangong Building. The past day and night had been very long. He had not stopped since the Youxing attack. He could have a good rest after returning.

Just when he was thinking about taking a rest, An Cheng walked out of a station of the Processing Bureau with a slightly tired look. He stood in the open space for a while, then used the boundary certificate to contact another student.

After a moment, a voice came from the other side: "What's the matter?"

An Cheng said, "You should know that the newcomer has taken the second test. I don't know the exact value, but it is clear that his evaluation has surpassed ours." He emphasized, "One of us will definitely be eliminated."

The other party said in a sarcastic tone: "Didn't you say that by sharing information, we can snatch the opportunity that originally belonged to him? We have indeed done a lot in recent days, but it seems to be of no use?"

An Cheng defended himself, "I did say that, but who could have thought that he would suddenly improve so much? Who could have imagined such a thing? This improvement can only prove that he had been hiding something before. You can't blame me for making a wrong judgment. Besides, we have been working so hard these days, the bureau should have seen it."

The voice on the other side said, "But the bureau is ultimately looking at who is most likely to reach the third limit. Now that he has proven himself, will it be of any use if we work harder?"

As they were talking, alarm bells rang out in both human worlds. It was the Bureau of Processing that wanted to find them for something. Just as they thought, the more capable they performed, the more tasks the Bureau of Processing would assign to them.

The reason why the bureau hadn't assigned any tasks to Chen Chuan for so many days was that any tasks assigned to the trainees were first known to them and rushed to do them.

But the problem is that these are nothing compared to the potential to enter the third limit. As long as Chen Chuan's evaluation value is still higher than theirs, the bureau will not give up on Chen Chuan no matter how much they do.

An Cheng said helplessly: "Go do your work first."

The person on the other side said, "Remember what you said before? If that newcomer enters the third limit first, then we might as well admit defeat sooner."

"Impossible, I will never admit defeat!" An Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's see who can enter the third limit first."

A few more days passed and it was already April.

After Chen Chuan came out of Teacher Zheng's house, he did not go back to school. Instead, he drove his Jade car to a handicraft shop in Yinglu District and placed the half-carved stone plaque in front of the shop owner.

The boss immediately used his foot rope to secure the stone and took out a chisel and hammer from the toolbox. Chen Chuan asked him not to touch the thing directly and not to carve it here. Although the request was strange, he was only running a small shop and it was good enough to have business to take care of. He could only try his best to meet the customers' requirements.

Fortunately, the customer's carving requirements were not particularly high, and he only needed to simply carve it into the shape of a raccoon cat relief.

He had already carved most of it during his last holiday, and today he was just finishing the remaining work.

Seeing him banging and chiseling, Chen Chuan did not disturb him and just waited on the side.

He had an idea about this strange story. On his last holiday, he had taken photos of the book he got from You Xing and sent it to Director Lei. It was very likely that the content of this strange story was in it. After figuring it out, maybe he could make good use of this strange story.

After waiting for about half an hour, there was a call from the Jie Ping. After he answered it, he heard Ni Qianqian's voice, "We just received news that another fighter was killed by Wei Wusheng."

Chen Chuan said in a serious tone: "Another one?" After the last incident in the fighting gym, Wei Wusheng did not stop, but continued to look for opportunities. This was the third incident in these days.

It's not that the Bureau doesn't want to keep an eye on them, but they have to deal with so many cases every day, and it's impossible to focus all their energy on those fighters scattered in various places. Even if these people know that they may be threatened, they don't like to accept the attention and arrangements of the Bureau, and they are very repulsive and resistant to it. Ni Qianqian said seriously: "There is a highly skilled Resonator behind Wei Wusheng, or even a team of Resonators. The technical staff of the Bureau have failed to find his traces several times. I am here to remind you to be careful again."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Thank you, Sister Ni, for reminding me."

Although Wei Wusheng has a team and even company support behind him, he can see that he always does it himself instead of asking others to do it.

A few days ago, he asked Teacher Zheng how to deal with this type of horizontal training fighter. The latter told him that unless the skills are high enough, there is almost no way to deal with people who have practiced horizontal training to a high level.

The reason is very simple, because the skill is nothing more than creating opportunities to defeat the enemy, but if every opportunity cannot kill the enemy, then it is equivalent to having no chance.

Moreover, most of these people with profound skills are good at running away. In many cases, even if they are severely injured, if they feel something is wrong, they will run away immediately as long as they have some brains.

Chen Chuan thought it made sense when he heard this. Wei Wusheng was just that kind of person. If he felt something was wrong, he would turn around and run away. Therefore, to deal with such a person, one must use a strength that is absolutely beyond one level to knock him down and kill him in a very short period of time.

He thought that it might be difficult to do this now. If he wanted to be completely sure, he had to enter the third limit.

"Guest, it's done."

Chen Chuan raised his head and saw the shop owner placing a carved stone tablet that was half the size of his palm in front of him. He took a look and saw a lifelike civet cat on it. There were cloud and thunder patterns on the edge, and a hole for tying a tie was carved on the top as he requested.

The shop owner's craftsmanship is very good and he is quite satisfied with it. So he can carry this sign with him in the future.

He paid the money, took the sign, and walked out as the store owner said, "Have fun, sir. Come back next time."

After leaving Yinglu District, he drove back to Xuangong Building. When he was about to approach the square, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking on the side of the road. He took a look, slowed down the car, rolled down the window, and said to the person, "Senior Lu?"

Lu Fang looked over and said in surprise, "Brother Chen?" But then he laughed again. "Just now I said that this place is not far from Wuyi Hospital, and I wonder if I will see you here. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Why did you come to Central City, Senior?"

Lu Fang smiled and said, "I always felt that Yangzhi was too young, so I wanted to come to the central city to broaden my horizons, so I came here."

Chen Chuan glanced at the second-hand certificate he was wearing, looked at him and said, "Senior, are you here for Senior Shen's matter?"

Lu Fang was silent for a while, and finally nodded.

Chen Chuanshuo said, "There's a Jinwei hot drink shop not far from here. It's pretty good. Senior, we haven't seen each other for a while. Let's go over there and chat for a while?"

Lu Fang looked back and saw that the beverage shop was on this side of the street. The store was low-key and restrained, not colorful, so he said yes.

Chen Chuan first went to the square to park the car, then walked back, walked into the store with Lu Fang, and found a place to sit down.

After walking in, Lu Fang couldn't help but relax, because the record player, old-fashioned tables and chairs, and normal lighting here made him feel like he was back in Yangzhi City, instead of the colorful light curtains outside, which always gave him an unreal feeling, like stepping on a ground made of cotton, and it always seemed as if he couldn't step firmly.

Chen Chuan ordered two drinks and asked, "How long have you been in Central City, senior?"

Lu Fang said, "I came here in late March, and it's been about half a month. I just found a place to stay a few days ago. Today I happened to have some time, so I wanted to come and see what Wuyi General Hospital is like. I didn't expect to meet you by chance."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Senior, are you asking about Zhao Qian's whereabouts now?"

Lu Fang took a breath, picked up the hot drink and took a sip. After putting it down, he looked up and said, "Yes, since you have guessed it, I will not hide it from you. After the collapse of the mutual aid association, Zhao Qian is now the only member of the mutual aid association who participated in the senior's incident back then."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Zhao Qian is now a fighter of the third limit. Does senior know about this?"

Lu Fang nodded and said, "I know, but I'm not here to cause trouble for him. I also know that I don't have the ability to do so, but..." He said seriously, "Senior Shen's sister was taken away by Zhao Qian at the time. I want to find her, or at least confirm her news."
