Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 589 Prey
Director Yingwei threw away the cane in his hand, stood up from his seat, and walked to the main seat.

The director had a bloody hole on his skull. He was half leaning on the table, blood gushing out, and his open eyes showed extreme fear.

He bowed to him, then reached out and pushed the body off the table. After fumbling around for a while, he found a sound source controller from the hidden opening of the main case.

This thing can emit a special sound wave. Any one of them can convey some simple instructions to Wu Qi by just uttering certain fixed syllables towards it.

At this moment, the sound of heavy military boots was suddenly heard outside, and there was someone at the door.

This should be the arrival of the garrison, but it is clear that these people did not dare to barge in directly. Instead, they asked in a nervous tone: "Dear directors, what do you want to tell me?"

Director Yingwei walked over and pressed the button. The door of the conference room slowly opened. He stood there and said, "Captain Kishimitsu, what can I do for you?"

"Director Yingwei..."

The garrison captain quickly stepped back, bowed and greeted, and at the same time glanced secretly into the conference room, only to find that all the directors were sitting in their seats, and at this moment they all turned their heads to look at him.

He quickly bowed again, "Sorry to bother you, I just heard the alarm, please forgive me."

Director Yingwei smiled and said, "Maybe someone accidentally touched the alarm button. This has happened before..."

The captain of the garrison lowered his head even lower. In fact, if it weren't for this reason, he would have broken into the room just now.

Director Yingwei said, "Captain Kishimitsu, you've come just in time. I have something to inform you. The board of directors has decided to withdraw from here later. You should follow along and be responsible for escorting the directors away."

The captain of the garrison immediately said in a serious tone, "I obey your orders!"

Director Yingwei continued, "I will stay here and coordinate the subsequent matters. After I leave, you can set off."

When the garrison captain heard this, he was stunned and felt a little sympathy and admiration for him.

He knew that there were not many people left responsible for resisting outside, and Wu Qi might not be able to hold out for long, otherwise the directors would not have left. Anyone who dared to stay at this time would definitely be a heroic act.

He bowed respectfully to Director Yingwei and said, "I understand. If you don't need me anymore, I will take my leave."

Director Yingwei smiled and nodded.

The garrison captain took a few steps backwards before standing up and leaving with his team members.

After Director Yingwei left, a man walked out of the submarine. He glanced at the passage above, a strange light appeared in his eyes. He brought the sound source controller to his mouth and said a syllable in a foreign language.

Inside the hall, Wu Qi once again tore the net apart and broke free from it, but there were obviously a few more holes on its body, and a part of the broken long rope still remained in its body.

However, if they continue to confront each other head on, it is only a matter of time before they are restrained as everyone becomes more proficient in using the tools.

But suddenly, it made an abnormal move. It stopped guarding that piece of land and instead rushed forward. This was beyond everyone's expectations.

Once the huge body rushed in at a very fast speed, the force it carried would be enormous, and several team members instinctively spread out.

Only Xu Chan did not dodge to the sides, but leaped back quickly, retreating directly from the inside of the building to the square outside, but he still remained in the front direction.

The next moment, radial cracks quickly appeared on the curtain wall of the building. With an explosion, Wu Qi's huge body crashed out of the skyscraper like a bulldozer, and a large piece of glass scattering outwards.

It is obvious that it does not know how to exert force, or perhaps its structure is different from that of humans, so it is unable to independently create a dedicated fighting system from scratch. However, it does not need to. With such a large size and tonnage, the force it exerts is not much worse than any mental force.

As it rushed out, it let out a roar, and the powerful sound wave shook the surroundings and went along the air to the farther buildings, where cracks appeared on the windows and many car glasses were directly shattered.

At the same time, waves of strong spiritual power began to radiate outwards, and the team members felt top-heavy and unstable. And those reaction troops who had retreated further away fell straight down.

There was an airship hovering in the sky relatively close to the ground, which was providing on-site observation information to the rear. But at this moment, it suddenly drifted away with the wind direction, and it seemed to have lost control at that altitude. There was no doubt that the pilot and crew on it had lost consciousness.

In the square outside the building, only Xu Chan was standing steadily at this moment. He lowered his center of gravity and assumed a diving posture.

He knew that they could not allow Wu Qi to rush out to the open field and do whatever he wanted, as they would not be able to restrain this huge consciousness anymore. If he rushed into the troops at the rear, the close-range mental shock would not just make people faint, it would definitely cause a large number of people to die on the spot.

Moreover, once it enters the city, it will not only bring more casualties and destruction, but the difficulty of fighting it will double. So after a little bit of strength, he stepped hard on the ground, and a circle of cracks burst out there, and he suddenly jumped forward, with a faint light coming out of one hand, and suddenly pressed it on the exoskeleton of Wu Qi's head!

Although there was a big difference in size between the two, the force carried by this blow actually pinned the other down and made it retreat backwards significantly.

Xu Chan's feet landed on the ground at this time. He shouted again, rushed forward again, and then swung his fists, continuously launching a violent bombardment at the huge creature in front of him.

Because Wu Qi's center of gravity was knocked off balance by him at the beginning, he could not escape his punch for a while, so he had to retreat backwards to parry. He had already rushed out, but this time he was pressed back by Xu Chan and kept retreating.

At this moment, the other members finally recovered. Seeing this scene, they rushed up and joined the siege.

Several people joined forces and forced Wu Qi back to his original position. In the end, it seemed that he was unable to control himself and he missed a step and fell down from the shaft he had climbed up.

In the space below the shaft, Director Yingwei stood there leaning on a crutch. He watched Wu Qi fall from above and land in front of him with a bang, with a strange light in his eyes.

He seemed to want to reach out his hand, and a huge black shadow swayed behind him, but he held back and murmured, "Not yet, not yet."

In order to successfully seize this body, he must weaken it to a certain extent. Otherwise, the struggle for consciousness will make him unable to take care of the outside world for a period of time.

The dark shadow behind him slowly faded away. Under his gaze, Wu Qi climbed up again and climbed up the ladder on the wellhead again.

On the Sky Shark airship, after swallowing the pure essence for more than an hour, Chen Chuan found that the pure essence had become scarce again, and judged that this should be the end of the second stage.

He has not yet been able to obtain specific verification of the increase in his body's potential after this absorption, but he can definitely feel that communicating with the other side has become easier and more relaxed, as if some kind of obstacle that existed there is disappearing.

At this moment, he looked at the time and it was almost time for the appointment with Commissioner Liang, so he took the Xuejun Knife in front of him, pulled out the blade, and slowly wiped it with a special cloth.

He could feel that it would be better to use the Xuejun Sword to deal with this kind of consciousness and the existence on the opposite side.

Although this knife is still dormant now, it can be awakened when the time comes. This knife has absorbed so much since the battle, it's time to put in some effort.

Judging from the plan, the reason why he was entrusted with the task of making the final move this time was mainly due to recommendations from several departments.

One of them is the Secret Cult Bureau. Since Director Lei was attacked, this person has been leading a team to inspect the Ferris wheel every day and has also set up an inspection point at the Ferris wheel company.

This was not without purpose. Under the leadership and instruction of Director Lei, they arranged a ceremony using a new type of esoteric material obtained from the General Administration.

This ritual is aimed at active consciousness and can have a strong impact on the active consciousness in an instant.

And if that being manages to seize the living witch as a carrier, then at that time, it will also be affected by the ritual.

Director Lei believes that he has a deep understanding of esoteric rituals and has special talents that can resist the invasion from the opposite side to a certain extent. He is the best person to carry out this task.

Almost coincidentally, the General Affairs Bureau also recommended him.

The Bureau of Coordination considered this purely from a security perspective, believing that the person who made this final blow must have a clean background, a clean resume, no involvement with other forces, and preferably someone who had cooperated with the Bureau of Coordination before.

In addition, there is another more important reason. He is still a student of Wuyi College, so...

At this time, a red light came from behind him, dancing and swaying.

Chen Chuan paused for a moment, stood up from the ground, turned around with the knife in his hand, and looked over. A shadow in red clothes fluttered, holding a goose-feather knife, appeared in front of him, and the pair of smart eyes above the veil were looking at him.

The active consciousness of Wuyi College, Hongfu.

In order to ensure the success rate this time, Wuyi College will let Hongfu transfer part of her own power to him through the field.

The higher the level of tacit understanding with Hong Fu, the greater the power that can be exerted. From the Ministry of Defense and below, no one else can meet all the above conditions except him.
