Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 708 Awareness
After Chen Chuan slashed with his knife, his eyes reflected the look of astonishment and surprise on Assistant Ling's head. The latter seemed to not believe that his knife came so fast and so sharp.

At this moment, Hong Fu's knife and the meteor hammer that was dragged back all fell on him, and two sonic explosions were heard.

However, despite such a powerful attack, he did not even move, and seemed to ignore the attack. At this moment, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Assistant Ling's hair, letting it hang there, and let the headless corpse fall from the True Shape Tree.

At this moment, Hongfu suddenly paused, her eyes alternating between indifference and agility, but she did not attack him again, but stood aside with a knife in her hand.

Chen Chuan held Assistant Ling's head in his hands and said calmly, "Assistant Ling, you lose."

Assistant Ling showed a trace of approval on his face, and said with a smile: "Yes, you win. Was that a spiritual perception just now..."

He showed an admiring expression, "I was right about you. With such strength, if you join us, our vision will have a greater chance of success. What a pity."

Chen Chuan stared at him and said, "I want to ask you a question. You said someone in the Bureau asked you to deal with me. Do you know who that person is?"

Assistant Ling said: "I'm sorry, I just received the message from the middleman. That person was very careful and didn't reveal his identity. You know, I will leave after I succeed. I don't care who that person is, as long as it is beneficial to my action."

Chen Chuan saw from his emanating spirit that what he said was true, so he asked again: "Is this true form tree in the fusion land now?"

Assistant Ling answered very clearly: "Yes, it is there, our people are watching it. If you are interested, Director Chen, you can try to find it. I am looking forward to your choice, although I can't see the result."

"Besides you, who else in the academy is involved in this?"

Assistant Ling smiled and said, "If I tell you this, Director Chen, would you believe me?"

Chen Chuan nodded, "One last question," he fixed his eyes on the man's face, "The big bombardment is coming. According to your ideas, if the True Form Tree has not completed what you want before then, how are you going to deal with it?"

Assistant Ling smiled and said, "The big bomb crash may come in a few years, or even more than ten years, but precisely because time is tight, we cannot stop and must race against time to use all means to accomplish these goals.

If it is not completed before we arrive, then we will enter the blending area in advance. That is where the two worlds first blend and can carry the reverberations of the two worlds. The government and companies have set up there. That is the place most likely to exist forever, and we will continue to complete our business there. "

Chen Chuanshuo said: "So, your so-called preparations and ideals, in the end, you still chose to hide in the fusion area?"

Assistant Ling asked doubtfully, "Is there anything wrong with this? It is precisely because of the True Form Tree that people no longer have to stick to their physical bodies. They can temporarily abandon these burdens and live in it in the form of consciousness. They just need to wait for the day when they can be reborn."

He said regretfully, "Manager Chen, I really hope you can think about it again. You don't have to limit yourself to the inherent shackles and cognition of humans or the world. The world is changing, and people in the world should also abandon the past and reshape their cognition."

After Assistant Ling said this, he saw Chen Chuan's calm eyes. Then he seemed to realize something. When he was about to say something, his face suddenly twisted and his head began to swell, as if a force was about to rush out from inside.

After the head was stretched to its limit, it exploded with a dull bang, just like a grand firework exploding here.

Chen Chuan watched calmly, he slowly withdrew his hand, there was a transparent and slender branch hanging on his finger, it was the certificate worn by Assistant Ling.

Take this thing back and test it, maybe we can find something.

With the death of Assistant Ling, the authority of the entire Sky Garden naturally fell to him, because he was the only one with the highest authority here.

Chen Chuan glanced at Hong Fu. The latter's eyes were confused for a moment, then they regained their alertness and looked at him deeply.

He was about to remove the field here, when Hong Fu suddenly said, "I want to leave here."

Chen Chuan looked at Hong Fu in surprise. This was the first time he heard Hong Fu speak in this state. Usually, his voice was cold and emotionless.

He asked: "Why?"

Hong Fu lowered her eyes and said, "Because of my autonomous consciousness. The academy can accommodate my autonomous consciousness because I can make more autonomous responses and serve them more conveniently, but that is under the premise of complying with their wishes.

But I just resisted under clear instructions, and this has been recorded. The academy will definitely try to "correct" it and wipe out my consciousness later."

Chen Chuan nodded and asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Hong Fu looked at his knife, "The passage to the fusion land is open, I can go there. The academy's procedures do not allow the external consciousness to go there. According to the procedures, if you leave, you must cut off the connection in time and purify yourself. She looked at Chen Chuan with her smart eyes, "I will try to go there. Your knife can cut my external consciousness from the main body, and then I can get out of it."

Chen Chuan asked cautiously: "Will this have any impact on your body?"

Hong Fu answered truthfully: "There will be some impact, but the main body will recover quickly, and the consciousness that appears again in the future will be another me who completely obeys orders."

Chen Chuan understood it and nodded without any hesitation, saying, "Okay, I'll help you."

Hong Fu looked at him for a moment, and suddenly turned into a fluttering red shadow, turned around and fell towards the passage of the blending land.

Chen Chuan closed his eyes slightly at this moment. He felt it carefully and indeed felt a spiritual aura, which seemed like an invisible vortex, extending towards the depths of the fusion area.

He stood on the branch, holding the hilt of Xuejun Knife. His aura and spirit gradually became higher. After it completely reached the peak, he opened his eyes, leaped up, held the knife with both hands, raised it high, then fell from the air, and swung it heavily at the same time!
A ray of knife light slashed through the intersecting passage and fell straight to the ground!
With a bang, his feet stepped firmly on the ground, and at one end of his side, on the huge intersecting passage, the soaring spiritual vortex was cut off from the end, and the front end naturally dispersed outwards.

He slowly stood up and took a look. There was no more movement coming from the opposite side. It seemed that Hongfu had broken free from the restraints and left freely.

However, I am afraid that we will never see the self-aware Hong Fu again in the academy.

He turned around and was about to choose to cancel the scene here, but at this moment, he suddenly felt something. Looking back, he saw a red scarf floating over, then spinning and flying into the sky.

He raised his head and felt a thought coming from above. Hongfu's consciousness had separated from the main body and became a rootless duckweed. It must have a place to attach to, otherwise it would not be able to survive for long. So it did not choose to leave immediately, but wanted to choose to attach itself to him.

In return, if he encounters a crisis that he cannot handle, he will appear to help and protect him. If he is unwilling, he will leave and find another place to rely on.

Chen Chuan looked at the red scarf floating above him, thought for a moment, and nodded. The scarf fell down, finally resting on his neck, and fluttered in the air.

Chen Chuan took a look, then pointed at the boundary. After a moment, the surrounding scene collapsed.

He looked up and watched the brains hanging on the trees disappear one by one. The figure of Teacher Wu and the notes he had recorded appeared in his mind. He also remembered the first anomaly he had dealt with when he entered the central city, the innocent Xiaoman who had been killed, and his brother who had been turned into a mannequin.

He had an inexplicable feeling that one of the heads on the tree might be Xiaoman's brother.

As all the light and shadows disappeared, this place once again turned back into the appearance of the sky garden.

Everywhere there are birds singing and flowers blooming, as if the ugliness before had never appeared.

He glanced at this time and saw Assistant Ling's headless body lying there, with a set of meteor hammers lying not far away, and the scabbard of his Snow King Sword fell at the other end.

He walked over, picked up the scabbard, returned the Xuejun Knife to the scabbard, then took the boundary pass and drafted a report.

Basically, Wuyi College assistant Ling Jianxing attempted to attack him and has now been shot dead. He demanded that personnel be sent immediately to take away the body and inspect it, and at the same time remind Andun to activate the no-trust clause.

Since Assistant Ling clearly said that there was a problem in the bureau, he would of course be on guard and try to cover up the matter so that he could conduct a secret investigation.

And Assistant Ling was able to obtain higher authority, it was hard to say whether he had obtained authorization from certain people, and he remembered that the competition was originally proposed by Vice President Tan, it was hard to say that this matter had nothing to do with him.

Vice President Tan was also attending a meeting in the White Bird District at the time. He was not in the college when the incident happened, so it can be said that he just happened to avoid it.

The "no-confidence clause" is used in such situations, and only the powerful investigation supervisor has the power to activate it.

Before he submits a report to his superiors and obtains interim results, this news will not be disclosed to any other unrelated personnel, nor will it be allowed to be passed on to other places, so as to maintain the information blockade.

In just a quarter of an hour, an elite team from the Processing Bureau arrived at the academy, took over and began to deal with the affairs there.
