Atlas of Heaven and Man

Liang Guanghai raised his hand, and a map of the major central cities appeared on the table. He pointed to several locations and said with a solemn expression:

"Just last year, a gap appeared in the World Ring, involving several central cities, including our Jibei Province. We lost a lot of manpower because of this. Not only that, but many unmonitored points have appeared here, leading to many unforeseen situations.

This loophole has not been completely plugged yet, and it is clear that a portion of them have come here from the other side.

For example, Meng Huang of Fusion Boundary Company, whom you dealt with before, may have been possessed by one of them. We have dealt with many so far, but it is hard to say whether any have slipped through the net.

The main personnel from the Processing Bureau are still responsible for investigating this matter, and we suspect that there was an internal problem when the World Ring gap appeared."

He raised his hand again, and a screen appeared behind him, showing a person.

Liang Guanghai looked at Chen Chuan: "Executive Chen, your resume is clean, your background is reliable, and your combat power is sufficient, so we will temporarily arrange you near the area where he is frequently active.

You don't need to do anything, and you don't need to deliberately contact anyone. If you deal with him, just observe nearby and record what you see and hear."

Chen Chuan glanced at the person and nodded, saying: "I understand."

Liang Guanghai said: "I know that you still have a mission that hasn't ended, so I'll give you some time to deal with it. Report here before the end of the month."

He used the Realm Token to explain, and the woman re-entered the conference room, holding a box in her hand.

After placing it on the table, she opened it, revealing a Realm Token inside.

Liang Guanghai said: "This Realm Token is specially made by the Defense Department. It has extremely strong anti-interference and self-repair capabilities, and can adapt to various combat environments.

It contains a lot of information, including various precautions, as well as Chen Bitong's specific information. You can take it back and read it slowly. When participating in defense, you will use this Realm Token."

After speaking, he looked at Chen Chuan: "Executive Chen, do you have any questions?"

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said: "Not for now."

"In that case, let's end today's conversation here."

The woman stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation. After Chen Chuan took the Realm Token, she led him out. After seeing Chen Chuan off, she returned to the conference room.

Liang Guanghai looked at the woman and said: "How is it?"

A faint black mist receded from the woman's eyes, and she said: "No problem. He is very clean, and his field is very stable. It can be confirmed that he has not been invaded or infected."

Liang Guanghai said in a deep voice: "That's how it is now, but it doesn't mean it will be like that in the future. I hope that when he gets there, he won't be bewitched by the Fusion faction."

The woman said: "Since the commissioner thinks highly of him, wouldn't it be better to let him settle down for a year or two?"

Liang Guanghai shook his head, "I also hope that talents can be cultivated slowly, but after the last incident, a large number of personnel have been lost, and those who betrayed the organization are rampant. Although some personnel have been transferred from various parties to supplement, it is still not enough. In the current situation, the talents that can be used can only be used first."

He considered it and instructed: "Like this, send a suggestion to the Processing Bureau, and try to relax the requirements for him in terms of treatment and job promotion."

The woman responded: "Okay, Commissioner."

After Chen Chuan came out of the Processing Bureau and returned to the car, he received a message from Wu Bei.

"Brother Chen, I paid attention to the building you mentioned and saw two suspicious people. I originally planned to track them down, but their movements were deliberately shielded. After tracking them to the Deep Unexplored Area, I couldn't find their whereabouts. I tried to track the shielding signal, but I couldn't find any results."

He raised his voice, "The people on the other side are very powerful. However, I have set up some reaction signals around you, Brother Chen. If they appear again, I should be able to find them."

Chen Chuan's heart stirred slightly, and he said: "Thank you, Brother Wu."

He turned his thoughts. Even Wu Bei, who had the Resonance Nest, couldn't track these two people. They definitely had both technology and equipment. The origin of these people must be extraordinary.

The first thing he thought of was the warning from the Lower District, but he quickly ruled it out, because he hadn't told anyone when he would return to the Upper District. It was impossible for the other party to send someone to guard here in advance.

Besides, according to the other party's statement, since he had left, there was no need to provoke him. So, it was highly likely that it was a force from the Upper District.

He thought carefully, and seemed to have some clues, but he couldn't be completely sure.

But he didn't think he needed to worry too much. The other party was observing him, nothing more than observing his movements, and then taking action against him. He just needed to pay attention to it.

After getting into the car, he drove the Gard car towards Lulan Lake.

Last time, Section Chief Qiu told him that Xu Xianwen had a foothold hidden in the underground river near there. Since he was out this time, he would take the opportunity to check it out.

Originally, since he was passing through Moti Mountain, he planned to visit Senior Cao Xue by the way, but when he arrived at the entrance of the manor, he saw many high-end cars parked in the open space. There were many guests, and he hadn't notified them in advance, so he took a look and left directly.

After driving north for a while and crossing Moti Mountain, he arrived at Lulan Lake. Because that location was on the opposite side of the lake, it would be too long to walk along the shore. It was faster to walk on the lake surface.

So, when he arrived here, he simply got out of the car, quickened his pace, quickly separated the reeds on the shore, and stepped towards the lake. With a trace of water waves splitting open, he quickly moved forward.

Six or seven minutes later, he approached the location. His body sank down, and with a thud, he sank directly into the water. Then, he adjusted his body and swam towards that place.

Under the guidance and comparison of the Realm Token, he found an underwater cave in a short time, but the water flow became unusually rapid here.

This didn't have much impact on him. He went straight into the water, and although there were many bumps along the way, it didn't cause any damage to his strong physique.

After swimming for about half a mile, he went up to the dark river, and when he approached the upper end, clusters of light appeared. He knew that this was probably it, and immediately accelerated upwards, finally emerging from a small pool.

As his feet landed on solid ground, white mist emerged from his body, and his clothes gradually dried. He looked around. This was a cave, but there was a mine lamp hanging above, emitting a dazzling, hot light. Obviously, the generator here was still working, probably because enough algae oil had been prepared in advance.

He walked around the cave. This place was actually not big, estimated to be about fifty square meters. It was divided into three large and two small spaces. There was also a small path leading out at the back, which seemed to lead to a forest. Perhaps because of this, several lizards were specially raised here to prey on insects and ants.

In the largest space, there was a wardrobe, a bed for resting, and a bedside table. There were also shelves made of long wooden boards on the cave walls.

There were several bottles of medicine and a box of nutritional paste on it. There were even special medicines, but only two bottles. It was not known whether they were originally taken less, or whether they were left over. From the appearance, they should be from the Fusion Boundary Company batch, most likely given by Meng Huang.

He checked the bedside table and wardrobe, and there were some valuables and ID cards inside. There was some money, about two or three hundred thousand, a gold ticket from the Wansheng Consortium, and a spare dagger and a handgun.

It seemed that this should only be a transit station, so there shouldn't be anything of great value.

But then he made another discovery.

Behind the wardrobe, after removing the movable baffle, there was a simple "secret room". When he opened it, he took out a set of heavy books wrapped in moisture-proof cloth.

He opened the cloth on the outside and saw the original appearance of the book. He saw that these were three books of the Secret Serpent Sect. They looked a bit old, but every corner was very neat, which showed that they had been carefully cared for.

Chen Chuan flipped through them. He saw that each page was made entirely of a special animal skin, and the words were engraved on it and smeared with a pigment similar to cinnabar.

The first book was the Secret Serpent Sect Doctrine. He skipped it directly. This kind of old-era thing can be found on the Secret Serpent's current platform. It's not a rare thing, and even the disciples themselves don't read it now.

The second book was a bit more substantial. It was full of secret ritual patterns of the Secret Serpent Sect. He briefly looked at it, and the general scope did not exceed the information that Director Lei gave him.

And the third book, unsurprisingly, was the part about combat techniques. It contained introductions and practice methods of various secret force techniques of the Secret Serpent Sect, and even Xuan Serpent Force was recorded.

But this was just for looking at.

Because it only mentioned some superficial things. How to guide the breathing method, which parts of the alienated tissue should be focused on, and which drugs should be taken during the period, were not mentioned at all.

So the real secret was not in this. If this thing was lost to the outside, it would be impossible to learn it just by relying on this thing.

However, the book described the characteristics and capabilities that could be achieved at each limit. After flipping through the descriptions of the first three limits, he found that there was still a considerable thickness left at the back of the book.

He couldn't help but feel a slight movement in his heart. Could there be more?
