Atlas of Heaven and Man

Hearing this, Lu Fang couldn't help but ask, "Her face has been modified? Brother Wu, can you confirm this?"

Wu Bei said, "I don't know what she looked like originally, but her bone structure and facial proportions have been adjusted to some extent, and she has also used implanted fiber for consolidation.

I've heard my family mention before that some companies provide customers with unique individuals, or those similar to certain people, according to their preferences and personal habits."

Hearing this, Lu Fang suddenly understood something. He looked at the girl with pity, then turned to Chen Chuan and said:

"If that's the case, then she's likely not Senior Brother Shen's sister. Perhaps she's just a similar doll customized by Zhao Qian from some company. Could he be trying to humiliate Senior Brother Shen? Or perhaps to imitate someone?"

Chen Chuan also thought of this possibility. If so, this girl, who calls herself "Thirteen," likely has a appearance that Zhao Qian modeled after Shen Zheng's sister.

But what's strange is that Zhao Qian was the one who took Shen Zheng's sister away in the first place. Why would he spend the effort to customize a doll similar to her?

What exactly happened in between?

He thought for a moment and asked, "Did Zhao Qian ever say who you look like?"

The girl said softly, "Mr. Zhao seemed to say that I look a lot like someone, but I don't know who."

Lu Fang murmured, "Perhaps that's it."

Chen Chuan said, "Senior, there might still be some clues in this house. Let's search it first and see if we can find anything."

Lu Fang nodded.

Chen Chuan looked at the girl again, "Do you know of any place here that's particularly special?"

The girl said, "There's a study on the southeast corner of the third floor. Mr. Zhao usually doesn't let me get close to it."

Seeing that she answered every question, Lu Fang couldn't help but say to Wu Bei, "Her resistance doesn't seem strong?"

Wu Bei replied, "Large companies have an consciousness editing implant. Combined with hypnosis techniques, they can pre-define the behavior logic of the dolls. But the higher the requirements, the more it costs. Zhao Qian may not have ordered these services."

Lu Fang understood, so he pointed to the person lying on the ground and asked the girl, "Then who is he?"

The girl said, "He's the person Mr. Zhao arranged to guard the house. His name is Zhao Er."

Lu Fang asked again, "So the nutrient paste that's delivered every day is ordered by this person?"

The girl nodded.

Lu Fang asked in confusion, "Then why not order more at once?"

"Because the amount of money Mr. Zhao transfers to his account each day is limited, just enough for daily meals, so we can't buy too much at once. And we're not allowed to contact Mr. Zhao on our own initiative, we can only wait for his instructions."

Lu Fang couldn't help but sigh. In this case, these two were truly tools in the truest sense of the word. And because they couldn't contact Zhao Qian on their own initiative, they wouldn't even leave after Zhao Qian's death, but would only mechanically execute the orders Zhao Qian left behind.

After understanding the situation, Chen Chuan and Lu Fang discussed it and decided to split up and search. Lu Fang was responsible for other places, while he went directly to the room on the third floor that the girl mentioned.

The lock outside naturally couldn't stop him. With a gentle push, he broke the lock and walked in. He saw a plant inside that grew from the ground all the way to the ceiling.

Wu Bei's voice came, "This is a field interference organism. This one is the 'Cactus' from the Five Sides Company, a mid-range product that can have five fixed field signals, rotating every six days."

Chen Chuan glanced at it, observed the room, and found a hidden door on one side of the wall. He went up and pushed it open, revealing a small collection room. Several models of guns were placed on the wall, each sealed in a transparent film that could be torn off at any time.

He took it out and flipped through it. It recorded that Zhao's ancestors had served as Feng Sheng Generals in the old era. One branch moved to Yangzhi Town, which later became Yangzhi City.

Before the Algae Liquid Revolution, all the fields in the old town belonged to the Zhao family. In the new era, the Zhao family didn't cling to the small output of the land, but instead engaged in ocean trade.

During the Great Pioneer Era, the Zhao family actively supported and cooperated with the army, so they became one of the civilian military suppliers, and thus regained political status and position.

But after a few years, the Zhao family lost to their opponents in commercial competition, and also suffered political suppression, and once again shrank back to Yangzhi City, until later they got in touch with Molan Company, and only then did they become active again.

Chen Chuan flipped through it roughly. Although this was just a genealogy, he always felt that it was not that simple, and there was a large section describing the period before the Great Pioneer Era. When he was in middle school, although the school also talked about this period of history, it was only mentioned in passing, but here it was very detailed, and he could take it back to take a look.

Underneath the genealogy box was a general's tiger badge, completely made of pure gold, with the ancient characters "Feng Sheng" on it.

Was this the thing of the Feng Sheng General back then? But the genealogy said that the Yangzhi Zhao family was only one branch, so how did this thing get into Zhao Qian's hands?

Just as he was thinking, Lu Fang's excited voice came from the Realm Badge: "Junior Brother Chen, come and take a look at this."

Chen Chuan put down the things and walked out from inside, arriving at the bedroom on the second floor. He saw Lu Fang holding a photo. Seeing him come over, he handed it over.

Chen Chuan took it and looked at it. It was a little girl of about ten years old. Thirteen below had some similarities with her, but comparing the photos, you could see that they were two different people, and the facial features were closer to Shen Zheng in the photo he had seen before.

Lu Fang said, "There's a time on the photo. This was four years ago."

Chen Chuan said, "Four years ago, was that the year Senior Brother Shen had the accident?"

"Yes." Lu Fang said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother's sister was taken away by Zhao Qian four years ago. The girl in the photo is also the right age. This should be a photo of Senior Brother's sister."

Chen Chuan looked at the background of the photo. It was very familiar. This should have been taken in the abandoned factory where the Mutual Aid Society plotted against Shen Zheng. The location was also right, so the identity should be confirmed.

He said, "Look again and see if there are any other clues."

The newest and fastest novels are at Six 9 Books Bar!

Lu Fang nodded vigorously.

It was a pity that they searched the entire building next, and asked the girl several times repeatedly, but they couldn't find anything more useful.

Chen Chuan suggested that they stop here for today, because Zhao Qian had left some password records, and maybe they could find something from them. Lu Fang agreed.

And it was not appropriate to let the girl Thirteen and Zhao Er out for the time being, so Lu Fang took the initiative to express his willingness to stay and guard these two people.

Seeing this, Chen Chuan set some contact codes with him in case of emergency, and then left the house with some valuable things and returned to the Xuangong Building.

The next day, he first went to Gao Ming's place and handed over the password book and some information suspected of being from Lianwei Chongyu, asking him to check the origin of this password.

After coming out, he went to Teacher Zheng's house for training.

Recently, whenever he came here, he would conduct actual combat training with Zheng Tongtong. From being unilaterally suppressed at the beginning to now, he could already fight back and forth.

And this time was particularly different. In addition to his muscles, bones, and internal organs becoming stronger with the continuous investment of resources, and with the improvement of his senses, even in a low state, he had faster reaction ability and coordination, and could keep up with Zheng Tongtong's rhythm.

The two of them were very steady in their moves, and neither of them showed any flaws. They attacked each other for a whole day without stopping.

And with their physical strength and endurance, it would be okay to drag on for a few more days, but that would become a complete exhaustion of physical strength.

Although this was also useful for honing skills, the effect was actually not very good, so the two of them, as if they had agreed, simultaneously began to speed up the rhythm of their swords and increase the power of their swings. In just ten seconds, the two of them attacked each other hundreds of times, and the sound of swords colliding echoed throughout the training ground.

Seeing that the two of them were getting faster and faster, and the power of their swings was gradually increasing, Teacher Zheng knew that the two of them would not be able to stop if they continued to fight, so he randomly grabbed a training wooden sword in his hand and precisely inserted it into the gap between the two swords, gently picking it up, and separated the two people's swords.

Chen Chuan took advantage of the situation to sheathe his sword. He felt that the incoming force had just separated him and Zheng Tongtong. The timing and strength were just right, no more and no less. Even if he released his state, he would never be able to do it. It seemed that he still had a long way to go in terms of skills.

Teacher Zheng said in a satisfied tone, "Student Chen, today's training ends here. You have made great progress. Now you don't need to learn too much for the time being. You only need to hone and master what is in front of you. My suggestion is that you can apply for the skill assessment after you go back."

Chen Chuan nodded. It was already the beginning of June, and there was less than a month left before the end of the semester, and his skill level could not be improved much in a short time, so he could take the assessment.

After saying goodbye to Teacher Zheng and his daughter, he drove back to the Xuangong Building, and at the same time contacted the Shang Wuyi platform, "Hong Fu, I am applying for the skill assessment for this semester."

Hong Fu's voice came, "Application received, Student Chen, according to your application time, the optional assessment times are: June 5th, 10th, and 25th, please confirm the time."

Chen Chuan thought for a while. The 5th was tomorrow. He felt that there was no need to wait any longer, so he might as well solve it tomorrow, so he said, "I am applying for the assessment on June 5th."
