Atlas of Heaven and Man
#521 - undercurrent
Outside a nondescript warehouse in the Jiyang District, Yu Lie exchanged the password with a person guarding the door and was allowed to enter the warehouse.
The interior wasn't the original warehouse layout. Instead, the internal space had been meticulously modified. He walked through a corridor with a high ceiling, lit by two industrial lamps, and entered a rest area.
Two rows of sofas were placed inside, but no one was sitting on them. Instead, four solemn men in black suits stood behind the sofas.
These men were clearly the same members of the Provisional Special Action Committee he had previously defeated. However, when he walked in, they showed no hostility towards him and instead gave him a slight nod.
At the same time, one of them walked a few steps forward and opened the door leading to the back for him.
"The boss is inside."
"Thanks."
Yu Lie straightened his clothes and walked inside. Ahead was another corridor. After about ten steps, he reached the end. He knocked on the door and said, "Sir, Yu Lie reporting for duty."
A voice from inside said, "Come in."
Yu Lie grabbed the doorknob, turned it, and pushed the door open. Behind the desk, a burly man sat on the sofa. He wore a wide-brimmed hat, and his clothes were stretched taut by his robust muscles. His expression was cold and stern.
The light in the room was dim, with only a few cold-colored light strips emitting a faint glow, leaving most of his body in shadow.
Behind this man stood two people wearing protective masks and heavy, rust-colored combat suits.
These two people were very bulky, as if they were hiding something under their clothes. Although they stood there motionless, they gave him a strong sense of threat.
He steadied himself, walked up to the man, bowed, and said, "Mr. Chu."
Mr. Chu sat there without moving, but he naturally exuded a sense of pressure. After a while, when Yu Lie felt the atmosphere becoming somewhat oppressive, he finally spoke, "What's the situation?"
Yu Lie breathed a slight sigh of relief and cautiously replied, "I have gained Chen Bitong's trust and he has agreed to let me stay by his side. However, Fang Zhixin, who is also by his side, is still wary of me, so I can't make too many moves."
"Has Chen Bitong taken any actions recently?"
"There have been no unusual signs recently, but I always feel like he's hiding something."
"Your intuition?"
Yu Lie truthfully said, "Yes, my intuition."
Mr. Chu said, "When we do things, intuition is very important. No matter how small the suspicion, we can't let it go. Since you think so, then investigate it."
"Yes!"
Mr. Chu said coldly, "The gap in the World Ring is inextricably linked to Chen Bitong. He must not escape judgment. Although there are people in the central city of Jibei Province who are shielding him, he won't be able to resist taking action as the 蝜母 splits and the cracks expand. From this moment on, I want you to stay by his side and relay any movements back to me.
Yu Lie, your preliminary work is qualified. Now I am officially transferring you to the Special Action Group. When necessary, you will need to cooperate with us in the arrest of Chen Bitong. I will also transfer your file over."
Yu Lie hesitated for a moment.
Mr. Chu said, "You only need to fulfill your responsibility. Someone will go over there to stop him when the time comes." He gestured, and one of the people behind him took a heavy step forward and placed a cylindrical briefcase in front of Yu Lie.
Yu Lie looked at it and stepped forward to open the briefcase. At first, it looked very dark inside, but after a while, a grayish-white worm that didn't look like anything emerged. After coming into contact with the light in the room, it suddenly raised its head and opened its mouth, which was full of tiny teeth.
He inhaled, then undid the sleeve of one hand and put his forearm inside. Suddenly, the worm's mouth, full of sharp teeth, clamped shut, tightly biting his forearm.
His brow furrowed slightly, because he felt something enter his body through the break in his arm, penetrating into his alienated tissue and then lying dormant.
After a while, he felt his arm loosen, and he took his hand out. He saw that it was covered with dense tooth marks, but before he could use his essence blood to repair it, the wound had already closed on its own.
Mr. Chu said, "When contacting us, don't use the Realm Token. Use this implanted worm. As long as essence blood is input, it will establish a stable field frequency for temporary communication, and we will know your location. Major Yu, go back now and report any problems at any time."
"This subordinate obeys." Yu Lie saluted and then retreated from here.
After Yu Lie left, Mr. Chu raised his arm, clenched his fist, and said to it, "Notify Lao Hu to enter the central city of Jibei Province tonight and tell him to be ready at any time."
Chang Sheng Hall, Fengde District, Tian Shu Gang.
Elder Yu Hongming of the gang squinted at the sky above. Only a few wisps of thin clouds remained in the rain-washed night sky, but he seemed to see something, his eyes filled with vigilance and prudence.
At this moment, he sensed something and said, "Is that Kuang Hai? Come in."
The sliding door was slowly pushed open, and the sound of heavy footsteps on the floor came from behind. Then, a tall figure arrived not far behind him and knelt down with a thud, respectfully kowtowing to him, "Master, this disciple has come to request Master's permission."
Yu Hongming didn't turn his head, only saying, "Have you thought it through?
"Master, this is a rare opportunity. This disciple wants to try."
"The opponent? Have you thought about the opponent?"
"Kuang Hai" said, "I've investigated. The person who killed Junior Brother Wei Wusheng should be qualified to be this disciple's opponent." As he spoke, he slowly clenched his fist, making a sound like steel bars twisting together.
Yu Hongming said in a deep voice, "'Open the Heavenly Gate, obtain Heavenly Forgiveness.' If you can cross over, I can hand over this burden to you in the future."
"Master, you know this disciple doesn't like this."
Yu Hongming said, "Wait until you are qualified to say these words, then come and say it to my face."
"Yes, Master."
"Go find A Duan. He can help you technically."
"Kuang Hai" kowtowed to him again, stood up, and exited the room, gently closing the sliding door before leaving.
Yu Hongming continued to look up, as if pondering something.

Inside the Fusion Boundary Company.
Chen Chuan didn't return directly to the dormitory at night, but instead handled matters at the company, mainly sorting out the company's security forces and determining the personnel to cooperate with the government.
According to the information submitted by the company, not only Fusion Boundary, but all state-owned enterprises and enterprises deeply tied to national orders, must provide a security force to be deployed by the central city government.
This force is not small. If it can be successfully used by the central city government, it can indeed ensure the safety of many places.
The central city government is indeed very concerned, but it is difficult to say how much effect it will have, because the situation this time is very special. Not only is there a break in the World Ring, but many contradictions that can usually be suppressed may also take advantage of the situation to stir up trouble.
After handling this matter, he looked at the several fighters sponsored by the company. In addition to Wei Dong, there were two other Wu Yi students.
It's just that these two have limited potential and don't receive very high treatment, because these people may end up in the arena. This sponsorship is only for the purpose of casting a wide net, in the hope of being able to screen them out.
The company is also cultivating its own fighters, but the execution time of this plan is relatively long. It is difficult to see results in less than three to five years, and it may take ten or eight years to see some improvement. Moreover, the company may be reluctant to use these people after they are trained, and will only cultivate them as their core strength.
The fighters that are currently needed are mainly recruited from the outside, so it is not a pity if they are lost.
Recruiting these people is not only for security purposes, but also to organize teams to go to the fusion zone to find lost items.
This was the original purpose of the company recruiting Chen Chuan.
Lost items are one of the sources of the company's technological development. Many new technologies after the New Era also come from the research of lost items, so they are very important to the company. Often, one lost item can allow the company to achieve technological innovation.
In this era, in order to ensure competitiveness, companies have to invest huge costs to explore the fusion zone and even the far end of the fusion zone.
However, he felt that, based on what he knew, it was probably not enough to just go to the fusion zone. Some giant companies and teams with a certain amount of strength might try to actively open the Heavenly Gate in order to obtain more benefits.
And companies that can do this will inevitably be stronger, and may block those who come later, thereby monopolizing and mastering technology, but this will go down some old road again.
After sorting out some of the company's affairs, it was already two days later when he came out of the company and returned to the dormitory.
On the way, he received several contacts on the Realm Token from Deng Xin, thanking him for Tu Nai's visit. However, considering that the gang had just stabilized, she was still staying at the processing bureau for the time being.
He replied, and then couldn't help thinking that Deng Xin's predictive ability was really useful. This kind of natural talent could allow people to avoid many dangers in advance.
However, he was not envious. He didn't know why, but he always felt that this ability was a bit empty, without the feeling of being down-to-earth. The power that he cultivated himself was the most stable.
Moreover, Wu Qi, the active consciousness body of the Ferris Wheel Company, wasn't her judgment of the company's enemies also possessing this kind of ability?
Active consciousness bodies are still biological bodies after all. If fighters slowly cultivate, they may not be able to develop similar abilities. Even if they don't, when their strength reaches a certain level, this ability becomes dispensable.
Only by possessing overwhelming power can one be free from restraint.
Garde Car returned to the Xuan Palace Building at this time. He looked up at the majestic building, as if it went straight into the sky, and his gaze followed it all the way to the depths of the clouds.
Next, everything needs to be prepared for the arrival of that period.
