Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 799: Take the willing ones in
When Chen Chuan asked this question, the masked men looked at each other, and another one walked to the front.

The man looked quite old, and said in a slightly aged voice, "There are indeed ways to change and reverse cognition. Some secret teachings involving high-level spiritual power and some secret rituals can do this. It's not like no one has taken advantage of this loophole in the past.

However, our ritual constraints have been established since the Major League period, and after detailed filling and improvement, there are no longer many loopholes to exploit in many places.

But we cannot rule out extreme cases. Let’s put it this way, if such a situation occurs in normal times, I would actually be more happy to see it, because we can fill these gaps in time afterwards, rather than waiting until the danger comes and then rushing to find a solution.”

Chen Chuan understood. This was clearly saying that if you had a way to find a loophole, you could try it. They even encouraged it. It was worth it to use the price of one person committing a crime to eliminate a problem that affected the majority of people.

He also felt that these people seemed to be looking at things from a higher perspective. But he immediately raised another more pointed question:

"What if someone borrows the power of some opposing existence to curb the effects of the ritual?"

The masked old man said slowly, "It can indeed be done. If you want to contain the power, you need to continuously invest the power, not to mention transmitting it across the World Ring. If the opponent is willing to do this, it will also achieve the purpose of consuming the opponent. This approach usually leaves traces, which makes it easier for us to find the person who is colluding with the opponent."

Chen Chuan heard him say the word "usually", which means that there may still be a way to bypass it, but this is actually normal. The existence of the opposite world has been fighting with the top leaders of their own side for so long, and some of them should have some understanding of them. It is not surprising that they can find some loopholes.

He didn't ask any further questions and said, "That's all I wanted to ask. Thank you for letting me know."

"You're welcome."

The masked old man seemed to want to retreat at this point, but after thinking for a while, he said, "I know that you are someone who understands secret rituals, Mr. Chen. So let me tell you something that you may know soon."

Chen Chuan noticed that when he said this, the other people wearing masks all looked at him, and it was obvious that what he was going to say was not simple.

The masked old man said slowly: "The entire agreement, from level seven to level one, is actually a world-wide national secret set during the Great Alliance period. Every time you raise a level and reduce some constraints, it will bring you certain benefits.

These benefits involve your practice and higher levels. When a fighter reaches the first level, the gains he or she will gain are immeasurable."

Chen Chuan's eyes moved slightly, and his mind raced. He immediately saw the power of this agreement. If it could really bring corresponding benefits as the level of the agreement changed, or even involve higher-level benefits, then he was sure that many ambitious fighters would rush in, willingly be bound, and even take the initiative to maintain this system.

It seems that the people who originally set up this system were very far-sighted. They did not use forced constraints to bind people, which might cause problems over time. Instead, they gave certain benefits to make people voluntarily stay within this framework.

So why wasn't this made public from the beginning?
He thought about it, and understood from the profit and loss of the secret instrument that perhaps maintaining this system would require extra efforts, which would most likely require a group of people who were unwilling to abide by the agreement.

Of course, this is just his self-understanding. This kind of ritual involving a higher level should have an extremely complex operating mechanism behind it.

He nodded to the old man and said "Thank you."

The masked old man nodded in response, then said nothing more and retreated back to his original corner.

Seeing that they had finished their conversation, Can Miao said, "Mr. Chen, we have another question. What do you think of your position? Do you need to be transferred out of Jibei Road, or stay here?"
As a Level 5 protocolist, the Supreme Security Advisory Group will consider your wishes based on the actual situation, and we will accurately convey your demands."

Chen Chuan answered confidently: "I plan to stay in Jibei Road first."

Can Miao signaled his assistant to write it down, and then he said, "Then our mission ends here." He stood up from his seat and stretched out his hand to the person opposite him, "Mr. Chen, thank you for your cooperation."

Chen Chuan also extended his hand, shook his hand, and said, "Can I leave now?"

"Yes."

Can Miao said: "Mr. Chen, you are welcome to do whatever you want. Please don't forget our contact information, or you can contact me directly."

Chen Chuan nodded, greeted everyone present, picked up the form on the table, and walked out.

Canmiao watched him leave, and could feel that Chen Chuan was very different from the others. It was not that they had not signed agreements with other fighters before, but to be honest, it was rare for it to go so smoothly. Many fighters would change their faces when they saw the constraints and requirements of the agreement.

This requires them to explain each point one by one or put the highest security advisory group behind them in order to move things forward normally. Even so, sometimes they will still get stuck in a deadlock and have to use higher levels of force to force people to submit. However, that scene is too ugly and is not conducive to future communication.

Of course, he also knew that some people did not really have any objections, but were taking this opportunity to show how tough and difficult they were to deal with, so that the board would be cautious when dealing with their problems in the future.

But Chen Chuan did not do so. But he is not without temper, nor is he incapable. This can be seen from his previous record and performance in the central city. He was very calm throughout the whole process. It can only be said that the situation is different.

After Chen Chuan left the building, he got into the car, raised his hand, and stared at the black spot on the tiger's mouth for a while. As the second self showed signs of virtualization, the feeling of mental restraint weakened, and the mental mark on the tiger's mouth faded slightly. As he stopped this action, the feeling resurfaced and the black spot reappeared.

This proves that even a secret ceremony can be endured by the second me.

It’s just that I’m still relatively weak compared to him right now, so I can’t replace much time, but he has no intention of violating these agreements for the time being.

What he wants to pursue is to be free in body and mind. He can endure necessary constraints before reaching the ultimate goal.

However, after returning, it seems necessary to enhance the strength of my second self.

He said to the driver, "Drive."

The vehicle started, slowly drove out of the parking lot, and then left the Saw Corner Building.

The Municipal Council had been keeping an eye on the situation in the building. When they confirmed that the National Fighter Council had signed an agreement with Chen Chuan, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, as long as they don't take the initiative to target Chen Chuan, the other party will not take direct action against them due to the restrictions of the agreement.

But who would take the initiative to provoke a fighter if they knew the situation?
The immediate worries have been temporarily alleviated, but there are still some long-term concerns.

Recently, the laws that were previously promoted by the Government Affairs Department continued to be promoted. Due to the lack of high-end power, the Municipal Council had to choose to give in, allowing many laws that were beneficial to the government to be passed, which will restrict them at a fundamental level.

If they violate these rules in the future, the Government Affairs Office can use force reasonably and legally, and it will be difficult for any external forces to find reasons and excuses to intervene.

Once Chen Chuan and Principal Yao obtain authorization from the government, they can take direct action against them, and the threat still exists.

Therefore, they still need to complete the cultivation of the active consciousness body as soon as possible. The active consciousness body embryo of the consortium is now on the way and should be delivered before the end of the year.

This embryo is a combination of many cutting-edge biotechnologies and has been modulated in advance. With sufficient resources, it will only take one or two years to reach maturity. By then, they will have two active consciousnesses, and they can feel a little more at ease.

But this was not enough. They were still not reassured even with equal strength, so they had to introduce more foreign aid. For this they started another round of discussion.

Speaker Quan remained very calm. He knew there was no need to rush now. The most important thing next was the appointment of Chen Chuan.

If Chen Chuan is transferred away later, they won't have to worry too much. But if he is not transferred away, the fusion faction should be the most wary of this.

At this moment, somewhere, in a dimly lit house, multiple images appeared on the screen in the middle of the field.

Some of them are clips of the battle between Chen Chuan and Long Xiang, while others are the scene when machine gun bullets were fired into Chen Chuan's area that day. There is also a scene where white smoke burst out of Chen Chuan's body, and these are repeatedly shown from multiple angles.

Security guards were standing in the corners around the house, and a strong middle-aged man wearing sunglasses was sitting on the sofa watching the screen.

A slender figure stepped up in high heels and said, "Boss, according to the faction's assessment, this person had a very solid foundation before breaking the limit, so he was able to defeat Long Xiang head-on shortly after breaking the limit.

But the two did not use weapons, and it was just a simple exchange. The battle process, excluding the conversation between the two, actually only lasted within a minute, so the assessment also said that Long Xiang might have held back on purpose. "

The middle-aged man said at this time: "You mean Long Xiang wants to keep this person. What good will it do for the Jingxiu Sect? I remember that the force that Director Chen mainly targeted this time was the Gray Shell Agency they sent, right?"

The slender figure turned around, a woman with purple eyeshadow and two implanted eyes on her forehead, and she said, “Maybe if we leave this person alone, they think they can cause us trouble?

The middle-aged man took off the sunglasses that covered his eyes. In his eye sockets, there was no eyeball, but a cloud of black smoke floating outward.

"Then he did the right thing. We really can't just ignore it. If that person wasn't a purist, we could tolerate him for now, but if he is, then we can't let him stay there.

We have been operating in Jibei Road for 30 years and are one of the main implementation sites selected by the faction. We will never allow these additional interferences."
