Atlas of Heaven and Man

After several kowtows, the blood and flesh on the stone plate gradually turned into a black, rotten substance, while wisps of white smoke emerged from the seven orifices of the stone raccoon statue.

The person raised his head, knowing it was working.

As a famous cleaner, he didn't rely solely on force to solve problems like other fighters; he held in his hand a strange tale bound by an ancient religion.

This was more useful than face-to-face combat or firearms.

The condition for driving the strange tale was also very simple: the ritual host, himself, had to suffer an attack from others.

In the old days, the ritual master had to go into battle personally, but with technological advancements, he no longer needed to do so.

Because the human body's bio-field is regarded as part of the human body, he only needed to use field technology to make his field appear on the scene and create an abnormal atmosphere. Once the target made a move to drive it away or attack, the condition would be met.

The process looked simple, but it wasn't actually that easy. For example, as long as the Boundary Marker was turned off, all effects would be useless.

So he did three things. The first was to test and observe whether there was a resonator behind the target. The fact proved that there was, so he had to interfere with and shield this resonator in advance.

The second was to have the functional disorder syndrome patient come into contact with the target. This was to deploy his own field's strong signal on the Boundary Marker at close range, so that the next time they met, it could not be turned off in a short time through his remote operation.

With the groundwork of the first two steps, the third step could be carried out.

According to the information, the target went to the Sea Territory Field one day every month. Because it was remote, there was only a fixed train every day, and the passengers were very few, so he decided to act directly on the train.

In order to strengthen the power of the strange tale and kill the target as soon as possible, he even sacrificed some of his own internal organs and fragments of mutated tissue, and performed the ritual kowtow.

At this moment, a contact person suddenly came in on the Boundary Marker, and a stiff voice sounded: "Ghost Walker, the requester asks, when will the target of the commission be resolved?"

Ghost Walker said in a dry, hoarse voice: "Tell the requester, soon."

On the other side, when the tram arrived at the station and Chen Chuan walked out of the station, he suddenly found that the ethereal signs that had been continuous on his Second Self suddenly deepened, and there was a tendency to become more and more serious.

In just a few steps, the Second Self became almost invisible, and even the Boundary Marker could not be used.

He had come into contact with many strange tales, but he had never seen such a violent invasion in such a short period of time.

However, since the Second Self's transformation, it had undergone several growth stages, including the battle with Wei Wusheng, and training that could feel clear progress. Now the overlap time had reached two days and four hours, so although it was constantly being worn away, it could still be maintained.

He looked up at the Xuangong Building in front of him. Abnormal conditions on his body would not be allowed to enter the academy.

He believed that the academy must have a way to solve this matter, but they might also take the opportunity to explore the condition of his body, so he thought for a while and did not go forward, but turned and left.

He came to the Jinwei Drinks Shop where Teacher Wu had invited him to drink, and found a place to sit down. The environment here was very retro. At this time, it was drizzling outside, and he listened to the piano music playing on the record player, watching the rain outside. The atmosphere was very good.

He beckoned to the waiter, ordered a hot drink, and took a copy of the newspaper that was only available in the store, leaned on the back of his chair and slowly flipped through it.

Now it's just a matter of seeing who can outlast whom.

Inside the dim house, Ghost Walker kept getting up and kneeling down heavily, but slowly, he felt something was wrong, because he had not waited for the result.

That is to say, the target did not die.

He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Although the fighter's vitality was strong and could last for a long time, more than an hour had passed, and the other party was just a Wuyi student who had not yet reached the third limit. No matter what, he should have been swallowed by the strange tale. Was it because... he took medicine?

He suddenly thought that according to the collected information, this student seemed to have defeated a fighter at the third limit by taking medicine. If he found something wrong, it was possible to maintain himself by swallowing medicine.

Then...

His eyes were fierce, he cut open the already healed wound with a knife, and sprinkled some fragments of mutated tissue on the tray in front of the statue, and then kowtowed heavily again.

With a rustling sound, Chen Chuan changed the page of the newspaper in his hand. The newspaper provided by this drink shop was very rich in content, with everything from gossip to anecdotes about big figures, as well as reviews of various clothes and drinks. Watching it would never be boring.

Although he didn't have the Boundary Marker, he didn't feel bored. It was a rare relaxation.

Because this store was open all night, and the late night and early morning were the times when there were the most customers, he simply sat here all night.

This was intentionally left by him, allowing him to set up a simple binding ritual, but he needed to find a suitable location.

He thought for a moment, and decided that Teacher Wu's old residence would be a good place, remote and undisturbed. After deciding, he swapped out the Boundary Token he was wearing for an old one, picked up his luggage bag, and headed out the door towards the tram station.

Inside the dim room, You Xing's constant kowtowing had caused a depression to appear on the ground in front of him. He had been kowtowing here all night, but still no results came.

He began to feel that something was wrong, because this ritual had a flaw that wasn't really a flaw, which was that the ritual required a sacrifice once it started.

If he couldn't kill the target using the ritual, then it was highly likely that he would end up becoming the sacrifice himself.

What exactly was going on?

He was extremely anxious, but he couldn't stop until he got results, because once he stopped, it meant he was giving up.

So while kowtowing, he was also trying to check the results, but the target seemed to have entered the Xuangong Building, and he couldn't break through the bio-field there at all, so he could only continue.

An hour later, Chen Chuan arrived at that wasteland. He chose a collapsed house that offered some shelter from the wind, drew a simple pattern on it, and then stood in the middle.

After waiting for a while, nothing unusual seemed to happen, but then he sensed something and glanced at a piece of broken glass in the ruins.

In the reflection of the broken glass, he saw something resembling a raccoon clinging to his back.

His eyes flashed, he reached out and grabbed the thing, pulling it off his back.

This thing seemed to be formed from a collection of smoke. As he pulled, its four feet remained firmly attached to his body, but with his forceful tug, it finally seemed to reach its limit, and suddenly scattered into a cloud, disappearing without a trace.

At the same moment, the You Xing Zhe who was kowtowing suddenly let out a shrill scream. Claw marks appeared on his abdomen and back, his flesh rolled back, revealing the bones and internal organs inside.

He quickly crawled to the side and swallowed the medicine he had prepared in advance. After a while, the wound gradually healed, but his eyes revealed a sense of shock, anger, and fear.

The ritual had failed.

The reason he hadn't died just now wasn't because the Weird Tale had let him go, but because it would wait for him to heal before coming back to devour fresher flesh and blood, and then repeat this several times, unless he could kill the target.

His expression was gloomy. If that was the case, then he could only choose the most direct method.

After Chen Chuan could no longer feel the invasion of the Weird Tale, he left the wasteland and contacted Wu Bei, telling him about the situation. Wu Bei also said that he hadn't been able to contact him since yesterday, initially because someone had intentionally interfered with the field signal, and later it seemed that there was a problem with his Boundary Token.

Chen Chuan said, "It should be the influence of an anomaly. I changed a Boundary Token. The previous one couldn't be turned off by itself. It seems that someone remotely tampered with it, Brother Wu. Is this technically possible?"

Wu Bei said, "Generally, it's not possible, unless there has been close-range… Oh!" He suddenly said, "That mentally ill patient! Yes, it must be him!

If there was close-range field contact, transmitting a strong field signal to your Boundary Token, Brother Chen, then it might be possible, but this technology is very advanced and requires expensive field creatures as assistance."

Chen Chuan said, "So if there are these things, it is possible?"

Wu Bei replied, "If it were me, with these conditions, I could barely do it. If someone with higher skills, it shouldn't be difficult."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Brother Wu, you just said that the other party might have transmitted a strong field signal to my Boundary Token in order to control it. Since the other party left a field trace, can you use this to find this person?"

Wu Bei said, "If the strong signal trace hasn't been erased, it's technically possible."

Connecting field signals requires the use of boundary points for transmission. Information will be left behind for a certain period of time. The workload to erase all traces on the path is very large, so the usual approach is just to eliminate the traces at the endpoints, which is like closing the door on the path, making it impossible to find.

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "It should still be there."

Because his Boundary Token couldn't be used at the time, and the other party couldn't possibly use it to do anything to him. Later, he returned to the Xuangong Building, and no matter how good the technology, the other party couldn't directly bypass the Xuangong Building's field shield to tamper with it.

Wu Bei said, "If it's still there, then I have a way to try to find it."

Chen Chuan nodded and immediately rushed back to the academy. Considering that bringing the Boundary Token out might be discovered and the traces erased, under Wu Bei's guidance, he put it into the box that previously contained the Boundary Token, as the special resin inside could isolate field intrusions.

After taking the item out, he didn't go to Wu Bei's residence, but arranged to meet in a temporary garage. After he arrived first, Wu Bei also arrived a few minutes later.

After the two met and exchanged a few simple words, Wu Bei opened the box and quickly took the Boundary Token into his hand to check it. He said with surprise, "The signal is still there!" He reached out and touched the Boundary Token, saying excitedly, "Let me look for it and see where he is."
