Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 330 Missing
Judging from the fight just now and the previous preparations, Chen Chuan believed that such sparring should be conducted about once every three days.

Just as he was thinking, Hong Fu's voice sounded in his ears again: "The privacy clause is in effect. Students can choose to delete all records during the training after the service ends. If you need to reproduce, please handle the information trace yourself."

After asking, Chen Chuan finally understood that after the privacy terms were activated, the sparring scene could be deleted directly, and Hongfu herself would not remember the sparring process.

But he can leave the field information, and if he feels necessary, he can hand it back to Hongfu during the next sparring or other services, and Hongfu will remember it again.

He changed his mind and realized that sparring was a continuous process. In the final sprint to the third limit, he must and must keep making progress, and Hongfu would continue to cooperate with him during the fight. This service was very good, as it allowed him to keep information and avoid being spied on.

So, under Hong Fu's guidance, he deleted the information records and only kept the field traces on his own, waiting to be restored during the next docking.

After the operation was completed, several messages suddenly popped up on the platform. He glanced at them and found that they were all advertisements about the ring match, inviting formal students to watch the match. Formal students did not need to pay any fee, they only needed to confirm the invitation on the platform to obtain the qualification to watch.

He flipped through it and saw the time of the arena competition listed below. He was also informed that other students from Wuyi in the central city would also be here at that time, and he might have some exchanges with them at that time. Interested students could join and get a few evaluation points.

Additional evaluation points are very attractive to many students, but the additional points are relatively small, only one or two points at most, which does not mean much to him, so he simply crossed them out.

After exiting the platform, he thought about it and realized that he would need to spend a lot of time practicing in the next one or two months in order to break through the third limit as soon as possible. Therefore, he needed to confirm the recent arrangements of the bureau, and it would be best if they could be postponed. He could activate some of the previously agreed agreements here.

So he immediately communicated with Ni Qianqian and asked if she had any plans. He also told her that because his alienated tissue seemed to have reached a period of improvement recently, he needed a relatively stable time to train, and asked the bureau to give him some free time to adjust according to the agreement.

Ni Qianqian expressed her understanding. She said, "In this case, according to previous agreements and practices, the bureau's arrangements for you can be postponed. Is one month enough?"

Chen Chuanshuo said: "It may take a little more time."

Ni Qianqian hummed, "Okay, I'll try to get it. For a student with potential like you, the bureau can make an exception. As for the exchange competition over there, they originally wanted me to invite you again, but I'll help you reject it now."

Chen Chuan thanked her and asked, "Sister Ni said last time that the bureau had taken action against Wei Wusheng's junior brother. Has there been any breakthrough there?"

Ni Qianqian said: "We failed to catch Wei Wusheng this time, but there has been progress with his junior brother. The two people are indeed connected. Now the bureau is digging further along this clue. The higher-ups mean that the official competition will be held at the end of June, and they require us to catch the person before July, but I don't think it will be that easy.

Okay, you should practice well and don’t worry about the affairs of the bureau. I will submit your application later. ” After saying that, she ended the contact.

Chen Chuan thought about it. It was already June. If Wei Wusheng really came to attack him that day, even if he retreated afterwards, he could still use the story of the raccoon cat to attack him.

But think about it again, with Wei Wusheng's strength, even with the current strength of the ghost story, he might not be able to be killed. At most, he would be seriously injured. With his level of training, he might be able to recover in a few days.

Therefore, he should concentrate on breaking through for now. Once his strength improves, even if this person doesn't come to find him, he will take the initiative to find him.

It was already noon. He ate a few nutritional pastes, rested and adjusted himself, and browsed the marginal channels. After two o'clock in the afternoon, he lit the incense burner again, took some medicine, and entered a state of tranquility.

In Jiyang District, An Cheng breathed a sigh of relief after a night of duty and handing over to his successor.

Recently he felt like he had more and more things to do, being on duty, patrolling, helping the bureau deal with various violent incidents, running from one place to another without stopping at all, and he could hardly find time to practice martial arts.

He estimated that this kind of life would continue for a while. Wei Wusheng had not been caught yet, so the people in the bureau had to step up their vigilance.

Also, because of the ring competition recently, a lot of people have come to the central city, most of whom are fighters, which has caused many violent incidents. I'm afraid I won't have any free time for the next two months.

He walked into a restaurant whose signature dish was the famous fisherman's chicken rice balls from the Southeast Baliu Islands. The rice balls were made from chicken broth and served with freshly chopped chicken. They were very delicious and convenient.

After ordering at the counter, when the chicken rice balls were served, Sun Rao came in from outside and sat down in front of him. An Cheng said, "You're a little late."

Sun Rao said, “Deal with some things.”

An Cheng chuckled, "How can we handle all the problems? I heard that you were partnered with that new guy a few days ago. How do you feel about that?"

Sun Rao looked at An Cheng and said, "He is very polite, not offensive to get along with, and not arrogant."

An Cheng looked at him unhappily, "If you want to say something about me, just say it directly. Why are you beating around the bush?"

He picked up the chicken rice ball, took a big bite, and picked up a piece of chicken to go with it, chewing them together. After swallowing it, he asked again: "By the way, didn't I follow you this time?"

The chicken rice ball that Sun Rao ordered was served at this time. He picked up the chopsticks and said, "It is said that he has other arrangements. If it were not for the special situation this time, he probably would not be arranged with me. It is hard to say in the future. After all, his potential is much greater than ours. The bureau will not use him as an ordinary reserve law enforcement officer." "Really?"

An Cheng snorted, and it was obvious that he was still holding back some anger, a reluctance to admit defeat.

Sun Rao took a bite, nodded and said, "Not bad, I'll come again next time. Have you been sticking to your daily training recently?"

An Cheng said, "Of course. Every day, no matter how late I get home, I have to take time out for training. Otherwise, how can I catch up with that newcomer?" He glanced at Sun Rao and said, "I say, don't be the one among us who gets eliminated."

Sun Rao said with certainty: "No!"

"Won't?"

An Cheng looked at him: "Are you so sure?"

Sun Rao said calmly: "Because my shooting skills are better than many people in the bureau. There are many fighters at the second level, but few have shooting skills like mine."

An Cheng had to admit that he was right. A gunman like this, after taking drugs and equipped with a high-powered weapon, could threaten a third-level fighter. The bureau would definitely not give up.

When Sun Rao was practicing his marksmanship, he had sneered at it. But now it seemed that he was the one most likely to be eliminated, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of urgency.

At this moment, a communication voice suddenly rang in his ear, informing them that an incident had occurred somewhere in the area and they were asked to go over and deal with it.

The two men had no choice but to finish the food on their plates quickly, then hurriedly got on the armed patrol car and rushed to the scene of the incident.

More than ten days passed in a flash, and it was already late June.

Not long after Chen Chuan finished his sparring with Hong Fu, he saw the contact signal on Lao Qi's portrait in the world light up. He connected it and asked, "Lao Qi, what's going on?"

Lao Qi said, "Brother Chen, you told me to pay attention to anomalies. I recently discovered an anomaly and I might want you to take a look at it."

Chen Chuan knew that if there was no special or significant abnormality, Lao Qi would not contact him, so he said, "Lao Qi, take your time."

At this time, Lao Qi sent a photo and said, "This hotel..."

Chen Chuan took a look and saw that it looked like an old-style hotel, about ten stories high. Nothing could be seen from the outside. He asked, "Is the abnormality in this hotel?"

Lao Qi said: "There have always been problems with this hotel. People who have stayed there sometimes mysteriously disappear. There was also a family that stayed there, and when they came out one person was inexplicably missing. But after this person disappeared, the family and friends would completely forget about him or her, as if this person had never existed in their lives..."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "If that's the case, how did this get known?"

Lao Qi said: "It is said that a photographer needed to take a group of photos of old-style hotels. This hotel just met his goal, but due to the weather and various reasons, he took photos for more than ten days in a row. But when he was sorting out the photos, he found that the people coming in and out did not match.

After he discovered this, he paid special attention to it for more than a month and confirmed his judgment. Then he went in to check the number of registered people and found that a lot of people were missing. In the past three years, no less than 300 people have disappeared from the hotel, an average of one every three days. And these missing people have completely disappeared from the world, and no one remembers them anymore. "

Chen Chuan thought thoughtfully. From this perspective, the missing people simply disappeared from people's memories, rather than having all traces of their existence erased. Judging from this alone, it is impossible to tell whether it is an anomaly or a tantric ritual.

Lao Qi continued, “Later, the photographer posted this incident on various platforms, which aroused the interest of many people, but no results have been found so far.

Until last month, the situation changed again. No one who went in came out again. Even if someone posted a notice nearby saying "don't go in", most people passing by would walk in unconsciously. A colleague I know from the same company also disappeared when he passed by there.

Now the whole street is empty, but because it is in Hongsheng District, a lower city area where non-citizens live, no one is here to take care of it.”

Chen Chuan's expression became more serious and he said, "I'll take some time to go and have a look."
