Atlas of Heaven and Man

Chen Chuan only glanced at the ground before turning his knife and continuing forward along the metal-plated passage under his feet. He walked step by step, unhurried, the sound of his footsteps echoing through the empty factory building.

As he approached the exit, Wei Jun's men heard the sound slowly approaching them, and a sense of fear arose in their hearts. They were tense, and cold sweat streamed down their bodies.

One person, in a panic, quickened his pace, but accidentally slipped and fell a short distance. When he came to his senses, he realized that his lower body was two meters away from him, and he couldn't help but scream.

His state also stimulated the others. Their faces were pale, and they were breathing rapidly, but they didn't dare stop their movements. They just became shaky and trembling.

But after they struggled to crawl for a while, the sound of footsteps behind them suddenly stopped, as if it had disappeared.

"No sound?"

"What's going on? Did he not follow? Or was he taken care of by the battle mantises?"

Wei Jun couldn't help but look back, but as soon as he looked, his pupils contracted. Chen Chuan was standing in front of the corner of the corridor, looking at them with a calm gaze.

"Fuck."

Wei Jun felt a sense of despair rise up.

"Call for people! Quickly call people in! There's someone outside!" One of the members, obviously having discovered Chen Chuan, shouted in panic.

But he could only shout.

They had arranged for many people outside, but unfortunately, they had been told earlier that the factory area might be very "lively" later, and everyone should stay far away. So at this moment, these people were faithfully guarding their posts. Even if they heard the gunshots and screams inside, no one came over.

Moreover, because of the hasty timing, coupled with the fact that this was an abandoned factory area, there were naturally no telephone lines connected. They did bring a radio, but at that time, they obviously couldn't spare the time to do these things, and now there was no possibility of operating it.

Someone else seemed to realize something and said, "No, this thing is blocking him! Yes, this thing is also blocking him! He can't get through himself, we can leave! We can get away!"

He shouted excitedly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

The people around him were also pleasantly surprised to find that it seemed to be the case.

"Yes, yes, he can't get through himself."

Jiang Wei crawled forward silently, ignoring the people behind him, because he knew that since Chen Chuan had arrived here, it meant that he had already dealt with the two battle mantises. Then there should be nothing to stop the bio-weapon that Chen Chuan brought. In such a small space, they simply couldn't resist.

Rather than wasting energy talking, it was better to run forward. Maybe there was still a chance to get out.

At this moment, he flicked his knife, but was surprised to find that there were no obstacles in front of him. And not only him, everyone around him also discovered that the things in front of them were no longer blocked.

This was because as the effective time arrived, the effect of the spider silk disappeared.

After discovering this, the Mutual Aid Society members also got up from the ground one after another, stumbling and running towards the exit.

Chen Chuan then walked up. He didn't seem to be walking fast, but he quickly arrived behind the crowd. With a flash of the knife in his hand, one person fell.

Seeing him coming up so quickly, Wei Jun kicked a person in front of him towards Chen Chuan. The latter simply deflected the attack with his Xue Jun blade, and the blade had already slashed across the neck. The person rolled over in place, covered his neck, and kicked his legs as he retreated to the wall. Then, supporting himself against the wall, he stumbled and ran out, covering his neck.

Chen Chuan ignored him. Relying on the physique of a fighter, the man ran a hundred steps, with blood flowing all the way down. But his speed became slower and slower, and finally he fell to the ground, twitching weakly before stopping moving.

One of the members' eyes turned red, and he roared and rushed towards Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan suddenly appeared on his side, reached out, and placed his hand on the latter's neck. His five fingers tightened, and with a snap, the person's body and limbs drooped weakly, and his feet dragged directly on the ground.

Chen Chuan's arm remained steady, and he dragged the person for two steps before letting go, allowing him to fall to the ground.

Wei Jun's breathing quickened as he watched this scene. He was also a qualified fighter, and at this moment he really wanted to step forward and fight Chen Chuan. Either way, he was going to die, so he might as well be tough.

But his legs were stuck to the ground and couldn't move, because judging from Chen Chuan's performance just now, not counting Tan Wang, he had no chance of winning if he went up.

If he could live, who the hell would want to die?

Zhao Xuechang had said that he would send them experts, but even now they hadn't arrived. Otherwise, things would never have gotten to this point!

It seemed that this was the only way.

He took out a wriggling, transparent worm from his pocket and swallowed it in one gulp.

This was something that the Two-Faced Mindfiend left behind every time it killed someone. Once a person swallowed it, they would have the same effect as being possessed by the Two-Faced Mindfiend for a short period of time.

Although he might also fall into an illusion and be hurt by attacking others, external forces would find it difficult to hurt him.

But as soon as he twisted the handle, he suddenly felt like he had been pushed hard. Then he found himself pressed tightly against the door. He slowly moved his cheek and looked down, only to see a section of the blade piercing through his abdomen, skewering him and the door together.

Even at this point, he still refused to give up. He endured the pain and forcibly retreated a little, grabbing the blade with one hand and slowly pulling it back, trying not to enlarge the wound. Finally, he pulled the knife out of the door.

At this moment, a hand came over and grabbed the hilt of the knife behind him, and then pulled it back.

Jiang Wei felt a chill in his abdomen and let out a muffled groan, but he didn't look back. Instead, he clutched his stomach and staggered forward a few steps, continuing to reach for the doorknob. However, his hands were covered in blood, causing him to slip several times without getting a grip. Finally, he turned around and leaned against the door, slowly sliding down while clutching his stomach.

His face was pale, and cold sweat constantly rolled down his forehead. He looked at Chen Chuan and weakly said, "Why do you have to do this? If you kill us, you'll die too. If you let me go, I can protect you..."

Chen Chuan simply looked at him calmly.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Wei seemed to realize something. He stared at him intently. "You won't die? You... you have an Unlimited Defense Certificate? You've already obtained an Unlimited Defense Certificate? Is that right? Is that right?!"

In the end, he roared forcefully.

Chen Chuan didn't answer him. Instead, he turned and left the corridor, leaving only one person behind. Jiang Wei's voice grew weaker and weaker, his consciousness gradually fading. Finally, his head drooped onto his chest, and he made no further sound.

Within the factory area, Wei Jun's voice echoed, accompanied by the sounds of banging and smashing against the pillars, beams, and walls.

"Shen Zheng, you're not dead? Why aren't you dead? Why don't you die? Just die!"

"Don't come over here! Your sister isn't here with me! Zhao Qian took her to Central City! Don't come looking for me, you son of a b*tch!"

"Why? Why are you so good at fighting? Talent? I'm the one with the most talent!"

When Chen Chuan walked out, Wei Jun's face was contorted, and he was desperately strangling a steel pillar with his hands. However, it seemed that he was only making his own breathing more and more difficult.

Chen Chuan watched silently. He had noticed during his contact with Wei Jun that Wei Jun seemed immune to external harm but seemed to be trapped in some kind of inescapable fantasy, and he was hurting himself when he tried to attack.

He guessed that this was likely related to the Weird Tales and Mysteries he had encountered today.

What Shen Zheng encountered back then must have been something like this, so the final autopsy result was that all the injuries were self-inflicted.

Wei Jun's face gradually turned purple. He couldn't shout anymore at this point, but it was as if he had encountered something extremely dangerous. His hands were still desperately exerting force, but his eyes were gradually rolling back...

At the same time, the light of dawn was slowly rising outside. On the road leading to the factory, Lu Fang, Shu Han, and others were sitting in several off-road vehicles, driving at top speed.

"Faster, faster!" People kept urging the driver.

The members of the Fenxin Society had heard a piece of news that Chen Chuan had received a recommendation from the Foreign Affairs Bureau, but this matter had been learned by the Mutual Aid Society, who had arranged to talk to Chen Chuan at the old Lian Machinery Factory.

This address immediately touched a nerve with them because Shen Zheng had died in that place, and the cause of death was said to be self-inflicted.

Now that Chen Chuan had also been summoned there, was the incident from back then going to be repeated?

The Fenxin Society immediately decided to go to that place together. Although these people didn't have much martial strength, and they hadn't had much power since many core members had left the society, those who had remained until now all had a strong sense of conviction.

Shu Han said to Lu Fang, "Senior Lu, you've already graduated. You don't have to come."

Lu Fang shook his head and said firmly, "I wasn't there when Senior was in trouble back then. I hate myself very much. Why wasn't I the one who died instead of Senior? I think if Senior were here, things might be different today." He took a breath and said, "But at least today, I can make up for it."

"Senior Lu is right. Three years ago, when Senior died, we couldn't do anything, but now we can't do nothing. Junior Chen has received the recommendation, so he can take the Unlimited Defense Certificate exam. He's the only hope after Senior. We can't give up. Even if Senior is gone, someone can continue this path!"

The people of the Fenxin Society all nodded to each other. Some of them had already graduated, but they still came. Although Chen Chuan had refused their invitation, they had always been paying attention.

They later discovered that Chen Chuan's fighting strength didn't seem to have fallen behind because he had chosen the Zhou Yuan Energy Method. Instead, he had done one thing after another that ordinary students couldn't do, which proved that the path Chen Chuan had chosen was correct.

After driving for a while, the car finally arrived near the old factory area.

"It's here!" Someone pointed to the building that appeared in front of them.

The expressions of the Fenxin Society members were very complicated, with both sadness and anger.

Three years ago, they saw Shen Zheng's body being carried out from here, and now, with great difficulty, there was another one. These people were preparing to do it again. They would never allow it!

However, when they reached the intersection, they found that not only were there obstacles set up on the periphery, but there were also patrolling security guards, so they couldn't go directly in. So, they got out of the car one after another.

However, as soon as they reached the front, they were directly stopped by the security guards stationed there, who told them that this was a private factory area and they were not allowed to approach.

The Wei family's butler saw these people. It had been more than an hour now, and the door hadn't been opened yet. Considering that the young master and the others might not have had enough fun yet, he had to stop the people outside.

However, it was almost dawn, and it seemed that it was time to let them finish quickly. He had just received a message from the radio that someone was already rushing here.

Lu Fang and the others were anxious. They knew that the longer they delayed, the greater the danger. So, they decided to force their way in. These security guards didn't have guns, and they couldn't stop them with just force.

Just as they were about to take action, the ground suddenly shook, and then one armed patrol car after another drove along the road towards them.

"It's the Patrol Bureau! The Patrol Bureau's cars!"

As one patrolman after another, armed with live ammunition, got out of the cars and lined up on both sides, a special car in the middle stopped, and Deputy Director Guan Yuming got out of the car and stood outside.

The butler was shocked. He didn't expect Guan Yuming to come here. But before he could step forward, he suddenly heard another movement. He looked to the other side, where another black armed convoy was driving over and then stopped in front.

His expression changed slightly. "The Mystery Review Bureau?"

The door of the armed special car at the head of the convoy opened, and Director Lei got out of the car. Behind him, one person after another with secret patterns drawn on their faces and the backs of their hands, wearing black windbreakers, also walked out.
