Atlas of Heaven and Man
#213 - Residue
After Chen Chuan walked into the room, sunlight streamed in from outside, illuminating a portion of the interior while also casting his shadow on the ground.
He glanced around, and the furnishings in the house, apart from a bit more dust, were no different from when he left a year ago, indicating that no one had been here since he left.
Perhaps it was due to the materials used to build the house, or some other reason, but there were no insects to be found either.
The original owner had long since taken away the main valuables, leaving behind only some furniture.
As he slowly walked around the room, the memories of the original owner would surface from time to time, clear and vivid, like old movies with warm colors flashing before his eyes.
These were scenes of him living here as a child, as well as some memories of the original owner's parents; this period was the happiest and most carefree time for the original owner.
However, that was all before the age of five; in the memories that followed, the original owner's impression of his parents gradually faded, as if they had gone to do something, and they came back less and less often, while his aunt, Yu Wan, appeared in his life from time to time, sometimes accompanied by a few loud, energetic voices.
Until the year he turned six, the original owner's parents never returned. Then, Nian Fuli and Yu Wan took him to live in their house. However, after the original owner grew up a bit, he would always come back to stay for a few days every once in a while, seemingly missing the old days, and seemingly waiting and hoping for something.
Chen Chuan could now deeply understand this feeling. He took a breath and slowly walked into his own bedroom. He first stepped forward and opened the curtains to brighten the place up a bit, and then came to the edge of the bed, reaching out to lift a piece of floorboard under the bed, and then dragged out a small box from inside.
After thinking for a moment, he stood up again, came to the table by the bed, took out the entire drawer, took out a key from the baffle below, and turned back to open the box.
The box didn't actually contain anything valuable; it was just some old books and account books left by the original owner's parents, as well as some old newspapers. However, many of the newspapers and notebooks inside had been deliberately cut into pieces and categorized together.
His predecessor didn't know why these things were kept, but he vaguely felt that they might be useful, and since they weren't in the way, he didn't specifically throw them away.
Now, he thought that perhaps the original owner's parents had left some clues, and were afraid of being discovered, so they deliberately cut them up and stored them separately.
After taking the things out, he spread them on the table, and then took out those given to him by Granny Ni, and then compared the two sides. Sure enough, he quickly found parts that could correspond to each other.
He patiently pieced them together slowly, and found that there were numerical markings below some of the pieced-together characters, so he arranged them in order.
After piecing it all together, he found that it was an address, and there was a string of numbers behind it. Because it was written very clearly above, it could be clearly determined that this was a string of Central City addresses, but the meaning of these numbers was not yet clear.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but think of the black card. When he asked Gao Ming to verify it, he learned that the card had expired ten years ago, which was about the time he was taken away by his aunt.
Could it be that the things left by the original owner's parents have something to do with this black card?
Besides this, he actually had a big question.
Taking the Martial Arts Exam was an idea he had after he arrived; it was a choice he made. He could be sure that although the original owner was curious about Martial Arts and admired those fighters, he had no intention of taking the exam.
The original owner's greatest interest was actually leaving Yangzhi and becoming an explorer traveling around, wanting to see if those places in the world were as magical as they were said to be in novels and movies.
And Granny Ni gave him that thing, and her words revealed that the original owner's mother believed that he would take the Martial Arts Exam. However, being able to take the Martial Arts Exam usually meant having experience practicing martial arts since childhood. Believing that the original owner's mother, as a fighter, would not ignore this aspect, but the original owner had never been exposed to this aspect, and no one had ever mentioned it to him.
Then, was there something wrong in the middle?
Could the original owner's death be related to this?
After thinking about it, he felt that there were too few clues, and he couldn't guess anything just like that.
Looking at the address in front of him, he was afraid that he could only continue to investigate by going to Central City to find that place.
After writing down the address and numbers, he scrambled these things again, put some of them back into the box, locked the box and put it back in its original place.
He looked at the bright sunlight outside. Since he was here, he might as well clean up.
He turned around and took the tools, cleaned the house inside and out, and accidentally found a can of sealed tea in the basement, which should have been left by the original owner's father. He hadn't noticed it before.
There was also an algae oil generator in the basement to ensure power supply at night. He checked it and found that it could still be used, so he simply started it, boiled a pot of water, made a cup of tea, moved a chair out, sat on the outer corridor, and looked at the woods and streams outside.
The autumn scenery always has a bit of golden red in it. The warm sunlight falls, and the shadows of the branches fall on the eaves, shaking gently there, and occasionally a few fallen leaves swirl down.
The original owner's childhood memories were extremely familiar with this place. In his childhood, he often played with Meng Shu in front of the stream. Later, when they went to school, they were also classmates. Perhaps it was for this reason that Meng Shu looked at the original owner differently. After all, the best times of childhood were spent together.
Speaking of going back to Central City this time, it is possible that he will meet this person.
After drinking a pot of tea, he stood up, went back to the house to clean up, then locked the door, came down from the wooden steps, got back on the bike, looked back, looked around at the surrounding scenery, and then stepped on the pedals and left the place.
There were no twists and turns on the way back. An hour later, he returned to the campus. After returning to the dormitory, he put these old things in his memory behind him. No matter what these things are, what he needs to face now is a broader and more distant future.
In the days that followed, he began to use the medicinal materials he obtained from the action team to assist his own fighting training.
These drugs are much better than what he had previously been exposed to. Using a very small portion can have an effect, and the degree of infringement on his second self's virtualization has not increased too much. This is not easy. It is worthy of being the exclusive use of the government's internal affairs in Lao Feng's mouth.
He calculated the dosage. If there are no additional increases, it will be enough for him to use for about a hundred days, so that maybe he can support himself until he goes to the Central City.
"Student Chen, we have confirmed the identity of that person."

Chen Chuan's heart moved, and he immediately knew that this was talking about the person who used the secret teaching ceremony to absorb the vitality of life, and Director Lei's voice in the microphone continued:
"This person's name is Han Chang, an elder of the Blood Scar Gang. The members of the Blood Scar Gang like to call him 'Uncle Han'. Through the investigation in the past few days, we have also found the whereabouts of that person. After the Blood Scar Gang's momentum was not right, he took a group of people and hid in the villages outside the city, and now they are still entrenched there.
There should also be people from the Church of Life following him. The Secret Teaching Review Bureau now needs people to solve this and deal with those cultists. Student Chen, you have experience in going out of the city to solve cults and armed groups,
So I am asking you in the name of the Secret Teaching Review Bureau, are you willing to accept the commission of the Review Bureau to clean up these cultists and people related to the cult?"
Chen Chuan immediately replied: "No problem, Director Lei, the student is willing to accept this commission."
He is now a second-year student, and he can already accept commissions in his own name. As for the procedures, he can also ask Gao Ming for help, but he feels that there is no need for it yet.
Ren Shu's company has provided him with a lot of convenience, and he should also give back something. This kind of commission from government agencies can also make the company's reputation and evaluation higher.
So he then asked Director Lei to put this commission in the company, and he accepted it in the name of the company.
Director Lei didn't care about this. As long as the commission was accepted by Chen Chuan, it didn't matter in what name. He said: "I will have someone send the information out later. You can take the time to deal with it."
Chen Chuan said okay.
After all, it was the official information, and less than half an hour after he hung up the phone, someone sent it to the school. After he signed for it, he went back to the room, opened it, and carefully read it.
This "Uncle Han" has a very sensitive sense of smell and strong execution. When the upper-level leaders of the Blood Scar Gang began to be targeted, he felt something was wrong. At that time, he took a group of people and withdrew from the city, preparing to wait and see the situation first.
However, the later situation naturally goes without saying. Although the remaining Blood Scar Gang in the city has been completely purged with the collapse of Molan Company during this period, this group of people has been hiding outside the city early, and at the same time, they are not the main focus of attention of all parties, so no one has paid attention to them for the time being.
But now it is different, because Uncle Han is clearly involved with cultists, so since the Secret Teaching Bureau has already traced it here, of course it will not let it go.
Chen Chuan looked at the stronghold where this person was hiding, and his heart moved slightly. He found that this place was a bit familiar. Not far from here is Caijia Village, the place he went to last time when he was chasing Fang Dawei and his gang.
