Atlas of Heaven and Man

The Bureau's convoy sped towards the scene of the incident at the martial arts gym, with the armed patrol car carrying Chen Chuan following behind.

Sun Rao seemed to receive some news at this moment. After listening for a while, he said to Chen Chuan, "It's over on that side."

Chen Chuan realized he was talking about the Swordfish Gang and Elephant Gang's infighting and asked, "What was the result?"

Sun Rao sneered and said, "They're lucky. Their personal bodyguard is very skilled, actually managing to bring them out unscathed from such a firefight. But that might not be a good thing. Getting away with it this time will only encourage them, and they'll definitely do it again next time, but that's none of our business."

Chen Chuan nodded slightly. From the information revealed by Captain Li, the Bureau had actually been keeping an eye on them, deliberately shuffling them around to give Wei Wusheng a chance to make a move.

This was originally a good plan and had been largely successful, but unfortunately, they misjudged Wei Wusheng's strength, leading to the subsequent failure. It was said that both of the Third Threshold combatants had sustained injuries of varying degrees, so the Bureau's members didn't dare to chase after him, fearing that they would be ambushed and killed by Wei Wusheng if they were isolated.

But was the Bureau really assessing Wei Wusheng's strength based solely on his previous capabilities? That's probably not the case. It's just that Wei Wusheng's strength might be higher than estimated, perhaps…

He looked outside, thinking that after killing those two people, his strength had improved again.

The convoy soon arrived at the next incident location. Unlike the chaotic scene in the previous neighborhood, the martial arts gym was not in such a mess. There was only one dead person, Zhe Rong, who had simply collapsed to the ground while walking. The people nearby hadn't even noticed an attack, with some even thinking he had been poisoned by his opponent during the earlier exchange.

It wasn't until they discovered that his neck had been broken that they realized a master had been at work.

Captain Li went up to investigate and spent a long time comparing the field information and force exertion methods. He finally confirmed that it was Wei Wusheng who had done it. Despite being mentally prepared, they still felt a sense of frustration.

After confirming the result, the remaining task was city patrolling. Captain Li and the others discussed it with the Bureau, glanced at Chen Chuan and the others a few times, and nodded repeatedly before leaving. The Bureau then informed Sun Rao to take them back to continue their duties. This whole flurry of activity didn't end until six o'clock.

By this time, the sky had already darkened, and various neon lights on the roadside and high-rise buildings flickered. In the distant night sky, the huge Ferris wheel slowly rotated like a ring of fire.

Sun Rao then said, "It's time to change shifts. Someone will be responsible for duty at night, so we're not needed. Chen Xue-di, how about we go grab a bite to eat? I know a good deer chop house nearby."

Chen Chuan had no objections.

The patrol car made a turn, and after about ten minutes, stopped in a bustling district full of shops featuring cuisine from various overseas islands.

Sun Rao led him into a shop with the words "Feng's Deer" written on the light box. After going in and sitting down, he skillfully ordered scallops, lobster, sea crab, fresh fish slices, and also a signature dish, grilled venison on a stone slab.

These dishes are usually paired with wine, but since both of them were combatants, they didn't drink alcohol and only ordered two glasses of lemonade.

Before long, the ordered food was brought up one after another. Under the bright light above, the white flesh of the scallops sprinkled with minced garlic, the bright red lobster paired with lettuce, and the golden sea crab with its crab claws and legs tightly joined together were all particularly enticing.

The signature dish consisted of a heated stone slab, sliced venison, and sides of tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and sauces.

Sun Rao picked up a thick slice of venison and seared it on the stone slab. With a sizzling sound, the color changed slightly, and he flipped it over to cook the other side. Once it was done, he picked it up amidst the overflowing aroma, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth.

Chen Chuan had never eaten here before. He picked up his chopsticks, followed Sun Rao's method, cooked both sides of the venison slices, dipped them in the sauce, and ate them. He immediately felt the taste was fresh, sweet, smooth, and tender, with a juicy texture and a unique fragrance. After eating it, his abdomen felt warm and comfortable. It was indeed good.

They feasted here, but there were always people outside monitoring them through Boundary Devices and various Boundary Points. These were all Resonance Users arranged by the Bureau.

In fact, these actions had been ongoing since they started their duty during the day.

Besides Zhe Rong and Tong Daguang, Chen Chuan was also a potential target for Wei Wusheng, so these Resonance Users were paying close attention to their situation the entire time.

However, from day to night, Wei Wusheng didn't seem to show any signs of coming to find Chen Chuan.

"This Chen student is said to have fought with Wei Wusheng. Why doesn't Wei Wusheng come to find him? Is it because he's not confident, or doesn't dare to attack our Bureau?"

First, there was the sound of tearing paper, and then the sound of dry swallowing.

After the meal, Chen Chuan and Sun Rao came out and returned to the car. The armed patrol car driver drove Chen Chuan all the way to the Xuangong Building and left only after seeing him enter the building.

At this point, the Resonance Users responsible for watching them finally relaxed completely.

Chen Chuan took the elevator back to his dormitory, took a shower, and because Wei Wusheng shouldn't reappear in a short time, and he wouldn't need to be on duty tomorrow, he did some breathing exercises and then sat on the sofa and turned on the Edge Channel to watch.

Today's incident was a big deal because Wei Wusheng killed two targets in a row, and even though the Bureau had set up a trap, he still managed to escape. Therefore, there were discussions about this matter everywhere.

Many people analyzed the incident, believing that Wei Wusheng's precise killings must have been coordinated by a large company behind the scenes, and they believed it was the Ferris Wheel Company located in the Yinglu District.

But some people objected because Tong Daguang was a member of the Swordfish Gang, and everyone knew that the Swordfish Gang was supported by the Ferris Wheel Company. Would they kill their own people?

But many people felt that this was exactly the problem. What did a small boss count for to the Ferris Wheel Company? Using the death of a small boss to clear their name was simply too worthwhile.

Chen Chuan thought that the Ferris Wheel Company might actually be relatively minor because the Gong Clan, an overseas royal family, was one of the main investors behind the Ferris Wheel.

And an important member of the Gong Clan, Gong Zhanyi, had died at the hands of Wei Wusheng. They even believed that Wei Wusheng had taken something important from them.

This time, the Ferris Wheel Company didn't cause trouble and even provided explicit assistance, indicating that they also wanted to catch Wei Wusheng.

But thinking about it here, he realized that although the Ferris Wheel Company wanted to catch Wei Wusheng, they might not necessarily want to see the Bureau take him away. Although they couldn't sabotage openly, they might trip him up in secret.

If that was the case, Wei Wusheng might be ambushed by the Ferris Wheel Company when he escaped back.

As he was thinking, he looked at these people and found that they were talking about him.

"Did you know that on the ship that day, Wei Wusheng originally wanted to kill everyone in one go, but he was stopped by someone. After delaying for a while, the cruise ship security team rushed in and saved most people's lives. I just don't know who this person is."

"The only person who can fight Wei Wusheng is a Third Threshold expert. That's unlikely, right? Even if there is such a person, it can only be Du Geng."

The newest and most complete novels are at 69shuba dot top!

"Yes, Du Geng is the most likely!"

A group of people echoed there below.

Chen Chuan looked at it. This Du Geng was the one ranked highest on the current betting list, and was considered the last person to be killed by Wei Wusheng.

He recalled that this person didn't seem to have anything special. Mainly, none of these people could withstand a single move from him, so his impression wasn't very deep.

As for Wei Wusheng's pattern of targeting…

He had a guess in his mind.

He judged that Wei Wusheng was likely ranking people according to their future threat level and potential, but this potential wasn't from high to low, but from low to high.

For example, the first gym owner to be killed, although he had good strength, he was old and had almost lost the possibility of entering the Third Threshold. The few combatants behind him, although they were of different ages, all felt like they were unlikely to improve, the kind of people who had lost their ambition.

However, some of the recent targets were different, but compared to those at the bottom of the betting list, what they clearly lacked was potential.

Most people might kill by first eliminating the strong enemies, but this person seemed to want to leave those who could grow until the end.

And if that was the case, then he, who had fought with Wei Wusheng, would be the last one to be targeted.

But this was just his personal thought, even just a feeling. There was currently no evidence to prove it, and even if he said it, there would probably be no way to verify it.

However, while Wei Wusheng was improving, wasn't he also improving?

He thought that recently his senses had become more and more acute. He hadn't taken this month's Treasure Paste yet, and he planned to go to Cao Guiqi tomorrow to talk about his condition.

After considering it, he finished browsing some valuable discussions, and when it was time, he went back to his bedroom to rest.

The next morning, he came to Motie Mountain early, and after seeing Cao Guiqi, he told him about some of the abnormalities that had appeared on his body. Cao Guiqi asked him a few questions and then asked Uncle Ding to take out the "Zhujue Silver Cage" again and place it in front of him.

Chen Chuan followed the previous method, concentrating his mind on this plant. This time was different from the last time. After concentrating only for a moment, he felt like he had touched something.

Immediately, he saw the white branches of the plant stretching outward in rings, the colorful leaf petals blooming in layers, and wisps of white silver floss floating upward. The entire plant began to flicker, like the precious light behind a statue in a temple, and those silver floss drifted in the air, making people unable to help but chase after them with their eyes.

After lasting for seven or eight minutes, the faint light suddenly dissipated, and strands of silver silk scattered down. Only a pile of withered flower branches remained on the table.
