Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 394: Breaking Change
Meng Huang's figure gradually rose and expanded, as if there was something inside that was unable to restrain this skin and was trying to squeeze out.

His skin was cracking, and something like quicksand was constantly leaking out from the cracks. Some lumps of matter were also falling off his body. Every time a little bit fell off, it seemed as if the "human" part of him was lost a bit.

In just a short while, his figure rose to more than three meters tall, and the place where there was obviously nothing was filled with huge phantoms, and the ever-changing shadows twisted on the faces of everyone present.

All these changes happened in full view of everyone, in front of the gaze of all the members of the Meng family. They were stunned and didn't understand what was going on.

Only a few family members of higher status who knew the truth thought of something, and they looked at Meng Huang with eyes filled with horror.

Chen Chuan stood there calmly. He looked around and confirmed that the entire room and even the outside were full of esoteric rituals. Moreover, they were not painted with any esoteric materials, but were directly integrated into the building materials and covered up with complicated decorations.

At the same time, it used good lighting to conceal the dark side. If it was not activated under normal circumstances, it would not have any effect on people. No wonder he didn't feel anything unusual just now.

Judging from the current situation, this should be some kind of extremely effective restraint ritual, probably used to deal with people like Meng Huang.

Meng Huang then slowly raised his head, covering half of his face, revealing one eye, staring at Meng Lai and saying, "Is it a ceremony?"

He glanced at the Meng Clan members who were looking at him in shock on the screen, grinned and said, "But it doesn't matter. We just need to deal with everyone we see today."

A member of the Meng family couldn't help but ask, "You are already like this, you are no longer a human being, do you still want to inherit the company?"

Meng Huang actually chose to answer him: "Of course, otherwise why would I play this game with you?"

"Do you think we will accept you? Do you think people outside will accept you?"

"Why not?"

Meng Huang showed an amused look.

"When I take control of the company, as long as I give up enough benefits, make greater compromises, and promise to operate within a certain range, do you think they will accept me?
Deal with the bureau? It doesn't matter if they don't want to, I'm sure some will.

You say I am not a human, even if I am not a human in appearance, but as long as what I do is like a human, and what you hear and see is like a human, then what is behind it is so important?"

He looked at Meng Lai and seemed to smile. "Since you can tolerate a substitute under the consciousness coordinator, why can't you tolerate me?"

As he spoke, he slowly put down his other hand. A larger eyeball squeezed out from the torn skin of that half of his face, occupying almost the entire cheek. The edge was covered with sharp teeth and randomly filled with blood vessels. The physiological organs and certain external features there seemed to be completely messed up.

The Meng family members in the light curtain looked on in shock, and some of them suddenly vomited.

Facing such a scene, Meng Lai remained calm, or he had been prepared for it. He said to everyone on the other side of the screen: "You should have seen it, and you also know why I chose Xiaoshu."

"Second brother, what happened to him?"

"Yeah, Uncle Er, what is this?"

Not everyone knows the truth about the world. Most of the Meng family members don't care about anything. They just enjoy their lives with the money and family income given by the family and the company. Of course, they don't know what is going on.

Meng Lai did not explain. He looked at Chen Chuan who was standing there and said solemnly, "Executive Chen, Xiaoshu's safety is in your hands. Please send her away safely."

Chen Chuan nodded. He could see that although Meng Huang's power was restricted by the ritual, it might not last long, maybe just a little while.

Meng Shu stood up, bowed to Meng Lai, and then walked out with Yan Yi.

Meng Huang looked back suddenly, but it was not a normal look because his body did not move, only the huge eyeball on that half of his face rolled, but everyone seemed to be stared at.

The security guard he brought with him had been standing still since he came in, and had no reaction even when all kinds of abnormalities appeared on his body. But when he heard his words, he immediately rushed forward and punched Chen Chuan and others, but before the attack got close, a gust of wind came, and Aunt Yu blocked the way.

She just raised her seemingly fragile arm slightly to block the fist. The special floor suddenly sank down, and the surrounding furniture made a creaking sound.

Chen Chuan didn't even glance to the side. He walked out directly with Meng Shu. At this time, he used a separate channel to contact the processing bureau and asked them to take a look at the situation here.

Meng Lai then looked at Meng Zhenghuai again and said apologetically, "Uncle, I'm sorry for dragging you into this matter today."

"Oh, don't say that. I'm already 120 years old. I even reported two years less of my age so that I could be an apprentice. I've lived enough.

If I don't come today, he won't feel at ease to come, right?

Xiao Lai, your great-uncle will give you a last push. You are right to choose Xiao Shu, and you are worthy of the old Meng family..."

Meng Zhenghuai was halfway through his words when two people who were obviously the fighter's servants came up, lifted him up gently, and led him out of the room.

Meng Lai watched them leave, but he did not leave. In just a short while, Aunt Yu had gradually suppressed Meng Huang's security guard. It was obvious that the winner would be decided in a short while. He looked away, looked at Meng Huang who had become extremely tall, and asked, "Can I ask, which one are you? Or... which one of them are you?"

Meng Huang's huge eyeballs rolled and stared at him, "Why are you asking these questions now? Have you changed your mind? Or do you want to negotiate a deal with me?"

Meng Lai said naturally: "I just want to confirm your identity to facilitate the subsequent conversation. After all, you are all different, and you have to have different attitudes towards different people."

Meng Huang had risen to a height of more than four meters, with his head almost touching the ceiling. He leaned over with his huge body and looked at Meng Lai: "Since you attacked me, do you still want to talk to me?"

"Any questions?"

Meng Lai smiled and said as a matter of course: "You guys have always believed in strength. If I didn't have the power to restrain you, how could you be willing to sit down and listen to me? I think it's appropriate now."

Meng Huang's eyes were misty for a moment, but it seemed to disappear quickly. "It seems like you have been preparing for today for a long time?"

Meng Lai admitted, "Yes, today's situation is what I hope to see. The impact can be limited here and will not affect the company. Even if some information is leaked, there is a way to explain it to the outside world."

"But your strength seems a little weak. I'm afraid these are not enough."

Meng Huang looked around, then glanced down, as if he saw something through the floor, and said, "Your real body should be sleeping at the bottom of this manor right now. I can feel it."

Meng Lai nodded and said, "You are right. If it weren't for this, if you hadn't confirmed the news, you wouldn't have come here today, right?"

Meng Huang was a little surprised. "It seems that you leaked the information Meng Xu gave me on purpose? But it doesn't matter as long as the information is true." As he spoke, he twisted his body and the room seemed to shake. He said, "It will be soon, soon."

Meng Lai didn't seem to care about it. He said calmly, "Don't worry about the lack of power in the ritual. Even if I can't deal with you, someone from the processing bureau will come and take you back later."

Meng Huang seemed to have heard something funny, and said jokingly: "You are pinning your hopes on the people from the Processing Bureau? But they may not be able to arrive."

At the same time, deal with the situation within the bureau.

Since half an hour ago, Director Wu has been receiving continuous calls from City Hall.

Violent incidents by fighters occurred simultaneously in several areas of the central city, with one incident in particular occurring directly opposite the city hall, causing extremely adverse consequences.

Several media outlets have expressed concerns about the safety of Central City and the crimes committed by fighters. Although the Bureau was not named, who knows where the finger is pointed.

Several city hall officials and councillors also said they would inspect the handling bureau and asked them to immediately send additional personnel to the scene of the incident, especially near city hall.

But he pushed all of them back.

He believed that this matter was deliberately pushed by Meng Huang, Ferris Wheel and some other companies behind the scenes, so at this time he firmly disagreed, but was prepared to put manpower into Meng's Manor to solve the problem once and for all, rather than causing any additional sequelae in the future.

He said to the deputy director, "If they have the guts, they can fire me immediately. Otherwise, I will definitely carry out this matter today."

Deputy Director Fang was about to say something when he suddenly received a call. He became serious and answered it immediately. After listening to the call, he said with a complicated expression, "Director Wu, I'm afraid it's not up to you this time. The Defense Department just sent a message saying that there is movement at the Ring Curtain, and they want us to dispatch personnel for support."

Director Wu frowned and said, "There is a daily operations team responsible for guarding the ring screen. Why would they suddenly ask for more personnel?"

"You know about the previous incident." Deputy Director Fang sighed, "It is said that too many people were sacrificed, resulting in vacancies in certain places."

Director Wu seemed to be angry and slammed the table: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Deputy Director Fang shook his head. "The higher-ups have their own considerations."

"Then what about the backup staff? Don't they still have backup staff?" Director Wu tapped the table with his fingers.

After a while, Deputy Director Fang slowly said, "You know, they won't use these people unless it's absolutely necessary. They are used to support the bottom line."

Director Wu walked back and forth for a few steps, frowning. After a while, he spoke: "But since it's a problem with the defense of the ring curtain, I won't drag my feet. That place is indeed more important..."

At the same time, he used the contact credentials to say, "Let Lao Wan and Xiao Lu stay, and everyone else come back. The bureau has other arrangements. Let them go to pick up Executor Chen, and tell them not to force it. If things are impossible, just protect your own people."

After giving the instructions, he still looked solemn. Being able to squeeze out two people was already the greatest help he could get. He just hoped that it could be handled properly this time.
