Chapter 65 As expected of me
The prerequisite for mastering the first level of "Tongming Xin Jue" is to keep your mind focused and clear of all distracting thoughts.

Everyone's mind is filled with all kinds of thoughts, like a busy ocean, with countless thoughts rising and falling, intertwining in it, like never-ending waves.

You may be able to clear your mind for a short while, but within a few seconds, these annoying little things will come back again, and once you start thinking about random things, you can't stop.

It is extremely difficult to completely eliminate one's own thoughts. It requires a lot of time and energy to practice specifically, and it requires hardship that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

However, Zhou Yuan had learned proper meditation before, so he was able to clear his mind of distracting thoughts very quickly. He entered a state of meditation in just a few minutes and began to practice according to the detailed steps of the brain technique.

More than half an hour later.

[You have learned the first level of "Tongming Heart Sutra", perception +3]

Zhou Yuan came out of his meditation state and couldn't help but smile proudly.

"I have mastered the first level in half an hour. I am worthy of this."

There are 5 levels in "Tongming Xin Jue". If you practice to the fifth level, you can touch the threshold of communication between heaven and man, but you can only touch the threshold and cannot step in. After all, this is just a book of excellent quality.

But for Zhou Yuan now, it is enough and can be used for practice for a long time.

As the perception attribute reached 22 points, Zhou Yuan felt that the world in front of him had changed again. It became clearer, more real, and more colorful. The dark matter he could sense also became more and wider.

He immediately took out a piece of high-grade dark stone and absorbed it, and the speed was several times faster than before.

After practicing like this for a few hours, white light gradually appeared outside the window and day broke.

Zhou Yuan stopped practicing. It is better to practice the Shadow System at night. Practicing during the day will be more or less affected by some environmental factors.

——This also made the Shadow Department the object of ridicule, and people said they were rat people in the sewers who could not stand the light of day.

To be honest, this is not wrong. The shadow department is basically composed of assassins, which is indeed quite shady.

Zhou Yuan stretched, turned on the system and started the daily lucky wheel.

【Name: Healthy Apple】

Sure enough, it’s another healthy apple.

Zhou Yuan took out an apple from his backpack and ate it. Then he turned on his phone, entered the chat with "Ant", and sent Qin Youwen's message: "Help me check this person."

After a while, Ant replied: "No problem, boss. I have more information this time, so I'll only charge you 10."

It used to cost millions, but now it only costs 10. Zhou Yuan transferred 30% of the deposit to Ant without blinking an eye.

"The extraordinary world really does spend money like water..."

Zhou Yuan put away his phone, took out the palu ball and released Fang Qing, who was holding a blood-stained scalpel in her hand, and was obviously practicing her homework.

"What's wrong?" Fang Qing asked.

"Uh... I just wanted to ask if you wanted to have breakfast."

"I'm not hungry..." Fang Qing paused, "But I do miss the taste of food. Please buy me some buns and vegetable soup."

Fang Qing thought for a moment and asked again: "Do you have a spare phone?"

"There is one. What's wrong?"

"Let me use it. There is a signal inside the palu ball. If I figure it out, I'll send you a message...but I probably don't have much time recently." Fang Qing showed a bright smile, which, combined with her blood-stained palms and scalpel, looked quite weird.

"There's actually a signal in the Palu ball?" Zhou Yuan was stunned. "The space is very large, the decoration is quite luxurious, and there is also a large swimming pool with a built-in heating function."

"Why do I feel like you live better than me?"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but complain.

After buying breakfast, Zhou Yuan ate while reading the information sent by Ant.

[Qin Youwen, male, 37 years old, formerly the head of the development department of Wanxiang Group, suffered from mental illness a year and a half ago. He smashed eight cars on the street and kidnapped a child and tried to kill him (seemingly thinking he was his enemy). He was caught by passers-by in time and was later sent to a private mental hospital called "Mingche Xinling" in Xinhu for treatment.]

He has a mental illness... Zhou Yuan couldn't help but frown, feeling that something was a little strange.

According to the Eye of Appraisal, the person who decided on the construction location of the Universal Plaza was the one who arranged the Yin Gathering Array. He must be an extraordinary person. The probability of an extraordinary person suffering from mental illness is extremely small - the greater probability is that they saw something that cannot be looked at directly, lost their sanity, and went crazy.

Could it be that Qin Youwen saw something he shouldn't have seen and went crazy?
This makes sense. After all, for so many years, no one has dealt with the problems with the Yin Gathering Array in Wanxiang Plaza. If something happens to Qin Youwen, there will be a reasonable explanation.

At this time, Ant sent another message: "I hacked into the mobile phone of Qin Youwen's family members, and their chat records are very interesting."

"The family members mainly greeted Qin Youwen with regards to his situation, but Qin Youwen always said some strange words. In fact, they were many kinds of encrypted texts. I deciphered them one by one, and the results I got were all the same—"

"Save me, save me, save me, save me, save me..."

"hiss……"

When Zhou Yuan saw the message sent by Ant, he couldn't help but take a breath.

It's a bit scary to think about it. Could it be that Qin Youwen still has his sanity and his mental illness is just a cover? Has he been tricked?

That's not right. After all, Qin Youwen is an extraordinary person who can set up a Yin Gathering Array. He shouldn't be sent to a mental hospital so easily, right?
Zhou Yuan thought for a moment and typed, "Is there any evidence that Qin Youwen is a Beyonder?"

Ant: "We haven't found him yet. Judging from various traces, he is an ordinary person, but we can't rule out the possibility that he has a sophisticated disguise."

Zhou Yuan: "I understand. Please find me a copy of his family's information and the information of the mental hospital."

Ant: "We have collected them and are sending them out. There are 10 of them in total."

Zhou Yuan transferred the balance as well.

Ant: "Boss, you are very generous. By the way, I would like to remind you that you made too much noise last night. Now both the black and white worlds, including the Control Bureau, have received the news. You'd better be careful for the next period of time."

Zhou Yuan: "I understand. Thank you."

Just after I finished typing, a phone call came in.

It’s Chen Guangxi.

Zhou Yuan's eyebrows jumped. Chen Guangxi was a member of the Mobile Task Force, so it was wrong to call him.

"Hey, Sister Chen, what's going on?"

"Yuan, come to the middle lane... No, come to the control bureau, we have a mission." There was a noisy voice coming from Chen Guangxi's side, and the loud typing sound of the keyboard, as if it was in an Internet cafe.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Zhou Yuan hung up the phone with a stern look on his face. He should start investigating last night's incident.

Although there were no traces left, it was my first time committing such a serious crime, so I was still a little panicked...
