Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 593 Falling Embers
On a building far away in Yinglu District, Director Lei looked at the ritual pattern under his feet that was completely extinguished and turned into ashes. He then looked into the distance and saw wisps of white smoke rising from the sky above the twelve high-rise buildings with ritual arrangements.

One of the subordinates said admiringly: "Fortunately, Director Lei asked us to reinforce the ceremony beforehand, and arranged so many auxiliary ceremonies outside to cooperate, otherwise we might not be able to hold on."

"Yes, yes." Some members of the Secret Sect Bureau nearby also nodded.

Because they were only trying to capture active conscious beings, so theoretically they didn't need so many materials. They had to do this only because Director Lei insisted. However, many people still disapproved and even wanted to laugh at him afterwards.

Director Lei has just taken office for a short time and has not yet won the support of the people. Honestly speaking, this move is a bit risky. If it fails, his prestige will definitely be greatly damaged.

But he proved with facts that his approach was correct and that he was far ahead of everyone else. Now everyone is convinced.

Director Lei said, "Without the strong support of Director Qian, I would not be able to do this. Also..." He looked towards the collapsed Ferris wheel, "Without that person, this matter would not have been so easy to pass."

Everyone couldn't help but nod.

They also saw the last blow, which split such a huge Ferris wheel in half. This is a landmark that is more than 200 meters high. It is hard to imagine that it was done by human power. No wonder Director Lei was so confident this time. From the tone, Director Lei knew this person. It seems that this person has strong supporters in other places. It is far from that simple.

Director Lei said at this time: "Clean up here and let's go. What happens next has nothing to do with us. After so many days of hard work, everyone can get a good night's sleep."

The subordinate hesitated and asked in a low voice: "Director Lei, where is the Ferris Wheel Company?"

They also made a contribution this time. As for the subsequent handling of the Ferris Wheel Company, there are also departmental interests involved. They can't just give it up like that.

Director Lei waved his hand and said, "This requires Director Qian to step in. I am not suitable."

Everyone suddenly realized: "Yes!"

Director Qian is the director general and is best at asking for funds, so it is appropriate to hand this matter over to Director Qian.

However, they all heard that Director Lei came this time to replace Director Qian. I guess after this incident, the handover will be formally carried out, right?

Outside a warehouse in Jiyang District, an armored vehicle stopped. After the door opened, Commissioner Cao walked out. The guard standing in front of the door opened the door for him and said, "Commissioner Cao, please come in. Mr. Chu is there."

Commissioner Cao walked in with two of his subordinates. Mr. Chu was standing in the middle of the huge warehouse. When the others came over, he said seriously, "Commissioner Cao, you are late."

Commissioner Cao looked at the people standing behind him and said, "New faces. What's up? Old Chu, have you changed people?"

Mr. Chu ignored him and just asked, "Did you bring the schedule?"

Commissioner Cao stretched out his hand, and the subordinate behind him took something out of the briefcase he was carrying and handed it to him. He took it and handed it forward.

Mr. Chu took it and looked at it. Then his expression suddenly tensed up. He looked up and said, "It's a joint plan of multiple departments. Why didn't you report it in time?"

Commissioner Cao said slowly: "The information is interrupted. I don't know where you are, Old Chu. I did look for you, but your people were gone at that time. I can't let this plan be shelved like this, so I can only choose to execute it first."

Mr. Chu looked at him. At that time, he was planning to deal with Chen Bitong to prevent the Bureau of General Affairs from intervening, so he cut off communication. However, he knew that if Commissioner Cao really wanted to find him, there was no way he could not find him.

He said in a deep voice: "Your plan is too dangerous. If it fails in the end, it will definitely be counterattacked by the Municipal Council, and the situation in the central city will fall into an unpredictable situation. The committee believes that it is not feasible, and you must stop it immediately!"

Commissioner Cao said, "The committee can stop the General Affairs Bureau, but it can't stop other departments, and..." He looked at Mr. Chu, "I'm afraid it's too late now."

When Mr. Chu was about to say something, a huge light suddenly came from outside. Even though they were hiding in this converted warehouse, they could still feel it from the open skylight.

At the same time, a prompt sound appeared on both of their boundaries at the same time. Both of them immediately reached out to touch the boundary and listened to the report coming from inside.

After listening to him, Commissioner Cao glanced at him and said, "The Horizon Project has been completed." After a pause, he said, "Old Chu, please review it slowly. I still have things to do, so I won't stay any longer."

After hearing the news, Mr. Chu's expression darkened. The plan had been completed, so why bother with the review? He watched Commissioner Cao walk out, and after a while, he picked up the form again, and finally his eyes fell on the column of recommended executors.

"Executive captain of the processing bureau, Chen Chuan."

Inside the command center, Commissioner Liang was listening to reports from various districts. Just now, most of his attention was focused on the Ferris Wheel Company, and he hadn't been able to pay full attention to other places.

Fortunately, since most of the mercenaries and companies had been depleted, it was not as difficult to deal with as before. Not to mention that the threat of the Ferris wheel was gone, and the emergency forces that had been stationed in the Yinglu District could be dispersed and go to other places to deal with the problem, and the power in their hands became abundant.

After reading and replying to the reports from various areas, he pressed the ends of his nose, took out a pill from his pocket and swallowed it, cheering himself up again.

At this moment, a liaison officer ran up and reported to him:

"Commissioner, the Mosasaur Company has sent a report. About ten minutes ago, they sank a submarine in the offshore area. It seems that it came from the Ferris Wheel Building. They sent the modified creatures in to check and found that in addition to the armed personnel, there were also some people who were suspected to be from the Ferris Wheel Company. But they should have died before the submarine was sunk."

Commissioner Liang immediately took the report and took a look at it. He thought about it and concluded that according to the analysis of the sentry tower, the existence was most likely attached to a director of a Ferris wheel company. In this case, these people were most likely killed by this existence.

He turned to the female assistant beside him and said, "Send someone to take over immediately and keep the evidence safe." The female assistant immediately said, "I'll go right away."

Commissioner Liang looked a little more relaxed than before and patted the report again. If he had these things in hand, then there would be one more reason to destroy the Ferris Wheel, that is, the Ferris Wheel was colluding with the existence of the outside world.

If it was just the Ferris wheel, the parliament might have to compromise and appease them, but now that they have this handle in hand, no one can argue anymore.

Because in today's situation, it is absolutely correct to confront and eliminate the opponent. Even if you really collude, you cannot make it public.

In front of the Ferris wheel building, Chen Chuan walked out of the pit step by step with a knife in his hand. At this time, there were some tiny scattered arcs of light jumping on his body, which were caused by passing through the cracks.

This time, while traveling through the rift, he seemed to have caught a clue while using the power of the Flying Dragon Fist...

The sound of propeller blades came from above his head. He looked up and saw several airships flying over his head and heading towards the sea. At this time, the red shadow on his body slowly dissipated outwards.

He turned and looked in the direction where the red shadow was drifting away, and nodded in that direction.

When he finally fell, he originally planned to use the second me to withstand the damage of the falling impact, but Hongfu's power blocked it for him.

At this moment, he looked up and saw armed men carrying weapons walking out of the breach in the building. There were about ten of them, and the one leading them was Guan Shangjing, the security director of the Ferris Wheel Company.

Under the impact of Wu Qi's spiritual power just now, even though these people were hiding in a covered room, they were still inevitably affected. Those who were not strong enough died on the spot. Only these few people with decent strength were still alive. When they saw Chen Chuan, they became nervous and raised their weapons.

Chen Chuan stared at several people. He could clearly feel from the field that there was some kind of infection in these people's bodies and they would not live long.

This should be caused by the emergence of that existence.

Because the sky gate was open, there was no obstruction above. Even a fighter of the third level would not be able to resist the invasion and penetration at close range if he did not possess a certain level of spiritual strength.

Guan Shangjing took a look at the collapsed Ferris wheel and the wreckage exposed in the sea in the distance. His heart sank. When he was about to walk over there, his throat suddenly felt itchy and he couldn't help but cough rapidly.

He wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, but found that he had coughed up a lot of black blood, and there seemed to be countless tiny black bugs in it that were difficult to distinguish.

As for the people around him, one of them suddenly dropped his weapon to the ground, and the broken part was pitch black, as if there was no flesh and blood. Some fell straight to the ground, their bodies inexplicably broken into several pieces, and some were even more exaggerated, as if they just wanted to outflank Chen Chuan, and walked a little faster, and their heads fell directly from their bodies.

Many of the people froze there after walking a few steps, and looked like sculptures in various postures.

Guan Shangjing's breathing became rapid, he felt his chest becoming more and more stuffy, and his limbs became gradually weaker.

If he could observe himself at this moment, he would be able to find that black blood was flowing out of his eye sockets, and there were small black bugs flying in and out.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of dense military boots approaching in the square in the distance. Knowing that a large force was coming, he looked up at Chen Chuan again, and with a clang, he drew out his sword.

But he did not rush forward. Instead, he knelt down facing the sea, pointed the knife at his neck, and then slashed it hard. As a stream of black blood spurted out, his head slowly drooped down.

Chen Chuan glanced at him, then looked at the ruined building of the Ferris Wheel Company. After the Ferris wheel collapsed, only this building was left standing there alone. Now it was covered with fluttering gray snowflakes, like a broken monument. As the sea breeze blew, the gray dust floated towards the surging tide in the distance.
