Atlas of Heaven and Man

Chen Chuan looked at the pattern in his hand and couldn't help but think of Tan Wang from back then. This person was a member of the Secret Serpent Sect, and according to later interrogation records, he had been tasked by Wei Jun to deal with him.

Could this be the same?

Very likely.

But who could it be?

He removed the documents and other items, and flipped through the notebook in his hand.

Each page was filled with coded language. Without knowing the password, it was impossible to know its purpose. However, every few pages had detailed dates marked at the end.

The earliest date in the notebook was two years ago, and the last date was:

March 20th.

Huh?

His eyes flickered slightly. He remembered that this was the day he took the entrance evaluation. Could there be a connection between the two?

It's hard to say right now.

He thought for a moment, then put the notebook aside, planning to take it back later and have the people from the Bureau of Investigation see if they could decipher it.

Next, he opened the second drawer, which contained two spare Boundary Credentials, one new and one used. Perhaps something could be found out from these two items.

In the third drawer, he found some commonly used anti-alienation drugs and a tattered Secret Sect scripture.

His eyes paused, he picked it up and flipped through it, discovering that the content used a combination of text and symbolic descriptions. Some symbols were replaced with common Secret Sect ritual symbols. Ordinary people would probably find it incomprehensible, and even he, who had read Secret Sect materials, found it very difficult to understand.

But that didn't matter, if he couldn't understand it, someone else could.

He planned to take this book back as well, take pictures of it, and send it to Director Lei. He believed that Director Lei would have no difficulty understanding the contents.

After examining the bedside table, he went to the closet and rummaged through it. There were many spare clothes inside, and there was also a hidden compartment on the back panel. After removing it, there were several guns inside, including rifles and pistols, along with full boxes of ammunition. It seemed they had hardly been used.

Seeing that there was nothing of value left, he came out of here and went to the last room. Opening the door, he found two rows of cabinets, one long and one short, placed against the wall.

Seeing this, he had a faint guess in his heart. He went back to the previous room and found a few possible keys. After returning, he first tried the short cabinet and found the correct key after two attempts. Opening it, as expected, it contained drugs for combat training, which should be used by Third Limit combatants.

Some of the drugs were very special, sealed in glass tubes, like a flowing liquid, emitting scattered, shimmering light. It was unknown what they were.

He closed the door and came to the long cabinet opposite. After trying it, he opened it and was greeted by rows of high-energy nutrient cans, which occupied almost an entire wall.

He had thought that since this person used a Resonance Nest, there must be some high-energy nutrients stored here, but he didn't expect the number to be so large. However, he didn't understand this kind of creature, so it was difficult to say how long these would last.

After looking at it, he closed the cabinet door, locked it casually, and came out of here. Since he had seen everything on the second floor, he went up to the third floor along the stairs.

Here, the floor and walls were obviously reinforced, with no partitions. There was an algae oil generator placed there. In addition, there were actually two cars parked there.

He walked up and took a look. The key to one of the cars was still inserted. The front of the car was facing the rear, where there was a ramp with a spring door, which looked like it could be driven directly down from there. It should be for emergency escape.

He checked with his Boundary Credential, and this car was an ordinary commuter car produced by the Gard Company, which should have been privately modified with protective panels added to the outside.

The other car was covered with a car cover. He lifted it up and found that it was actually a silver Lightning produced by Baorui Company. The car body was silver, with a shimmering light. The front of the car had a large headlight group, and the lines of the car body were smooth and full of dynamism. One could imagine the effect of it running, which might indeed be like a lightning bolt.

Just then, Wu Bei's excited voice came from the Boundary Credential, "Brother Chen, I'm here."

He arrived so quickly?

Chen Chuan said, "Okay, Brother Wu, wait there, I'll be right over."

He went downstairs and glanced outside. Although the rain hadn't stopped, the rain was a little lighter. The previous cloak had been torn by him, so he found an umbrella from the storage box under the rain shed and came down from the hill.

At the foot of the mountain, he saw a medium-sized van with protective panels parked there, with the headlights on, illuminating the raindrops and ripples in the pool in front of him clearly. Seeing him coming, the car door was moved open, and Wu Bei waved inside, with his voice ringing in the Boundary Credential at the same time: "Brother Chen, I'm here."

Chen Chuan walked over, and Wu Bei's wide, fat body squeezed out of the car anxiously. He opened an umbrella that barely covered his body and came to Chen Chuan, breathing a little rapidly.

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Brother Wu, don't rush, catch your breath. Did you bring water?"

"Brought it, brought it." Wu Bei took out a thermos cup from the clothes pocket, took a few gulps, and immediately felt much better. He also took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his head.

Chen Chuan waited for him to catch his breath, then turned around and walked first, "Follow me, the mountain road is slippery, and there are many traps, be careful, follow behind me."

Wu Bei's expression immediately became serious. He hummed, took the Boundary Credential in front of him, put his hand on his neck, stared at it for a moment, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the Boundary Credential hasn't been calcified."

"Calcified?"

Wu Bei explained to Chen Chuan that calcification is when some people add bioelectric generators to the Boundary Credential and set up a biological feedback mechanism. Some passive types, once the owner dies and the biological field disappears, will stimulate the organs, causing the entire Boundary Credential to burn, leaving no records.

The newest novels are at Six Nine Book Bar!

It's not that there's no way to restore it completely, but the cost is very high, and it's hard to say how much can be found in the end.

"This Boundary Credential also has a connection to a generator organ, which seems to be an active type. It wasn't used in the end, probably because Brother Chen, you acted quickly, and it was too late."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment. The vitality of a Third Limit combatant is very strong. Even if their head is cut off, they won't die for a while. If they sincerely want to destroy it, it might be possible.

This person didn't do this, and it's unknown whether it was because they were influenced by the Weird Tales and really couldn't do it, or they didn't want to do it.

After Wu Bei checked, he moved some of the easier-to-handle field record information to his own Boundary Credential, starting with the most frequently used contacts.

The top layer of the Boundary Credential contains field exchange information from within the last three days, so now he can restore the conversations that this person had with the outside world within the last three days.

He first tried to restore the most recent one.

A dull voice rang out in the two people's Boundary Credentials: "Ghost Walker, the client is asking, when will the target of the commission be resolved?"

Then a dry voice replied: "Tell the client, soon."

After hearing these two voices, Chen Chuan's mind turned a few times. The dry voice was undoubtedly the one whose head had fallen on the ground. So his name was Ghost Walker, which should be a code name.

The client, someone wanted to hire this person to deal with him. He thought of the Secret Serpent Sect's advertisement paper and the Secret Serpent Sect's business. All of this matched up.

He looked up and asked, "Brother Wu, can you find the source of the first voice?"

Wu Bei pondered and said, "That should have borrowed a non-active conscious entity, which is very difficult to find."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and asked, "Now that we have this Boundary Credential, assuming someone else contacts him again, can we use this to find some clues?"

Wu Bei said, "That depends on whether he has interacted with the non-active consciousness behind him, such as a platform account. If he applied for a business, then he will have a biological field information interaction with the account owner every period of time. The short ones generally have an interaction every ten minutes or half an hour, and the long ones may have half a day, a day, or even a few days or half a month.

If the account owner dies, and there is no exchange for a long time, the account will be frozen. I'm not sure if he also has such an interaction arrangement. If he does, the news of his death may have been known by the people behind him.

In fact, even if the other party doesn't find out and still talks to me, if the other party has a voiceprint frequency comparison, even if I have his voice, it will be difficult for me to imitate it with 100% accuracy."

After Chen Chuan heard this, he nodded and said, "Since that's the case…" He looked at the Resonance Nest, "Brother Wu, you said there might be information residue on this, then I'll have to trouble you to use this thing to check it."

As soon as Wu Bei heard this, he immediately became excited. He rubbed his hands and came to the front of the Resonance Nest, "Okay, I'll adjust the field frequency first. This won't take much time. Once it's adjusted, I can let it work with me."
