Atlas of Heaven and Man

After coming out of the invitation class, Chen Chuan went to attend a public class, and then returned to the dormitory. However, as soon as he entered the hall, the dormitory teacher said to him, "Chen, a teacher from the Executive Office is looking for you."

Chen Chuan looked over and saw a young teacher walking towards him. He first showed his name card, and then said very politely, "Hello, Chen. I'm He Mei from the Executive Office. You can call me Teacher He. I have something to discuss with you. Can we talk in your dormitory?"

Chen Chuan said, "Of course."

He and Teacher He took the elevator upstairs together. After bringing him to the dormitory, he invited him to sit down and poured him a glass of water.

Teacher He said, "Chen, don't bother too much, sit down and talk." After Chen Chuan sat down, he said, "I came to you this time because of Qiu Xin's matter. The matter has been clarified, and Qiu Xin is entirely at fault this time."

Chen Chuan asked, "Is it because of Zhong Wu?"

Teacher He said, "Yes, Qiu Xin and Zhong Wu, who was initially in charge of Chen's assessment, have always had a good relationship. After learning about Zhong Wu's news, he immediately resigned from his original position and returned to the school to work as an assistant for various invitation class teachers.

He is usually silent and hardworking, so the teachers don't reject him.

However, he also admitted that the reason he returned to school was to wait for an opportunity to attack you, because you would definitely attend the invitation class no matter what. He said that even if he waited for three years, he would continue to wait, so the probability of this situation happening this time was very high."

Chen Chuan admired this person's perseverance and persistence. After thinking about it, he said, "Qiu Xin's attack was very heavy. If I hadn't been prepared and something really happened on stage, his behavior wouldn't be excused as a mere mistake. He shouldn't be able to escape either."

Teacher He said, "That's right, he admitted it himself. He said he had asked for help, but no one was willing to stand up for Zhong Wu, so he had to do it himself. He also said that since he chose to do this, he didn't care about the consequences, only regretting that he didn't achieve his goal in the end. But he also paid the price for his actions."

He paused and said, "The examination shows that his internal organs are under too much burden, and he may only be able to lie in bed for the rest of his life. Considering his friendship with Zhong Wu, we have arranged for the two of them to be together, which can be considered a humanitarian gesture."

Chen Chuan said, "Is that so? Thank you for informing me, teacher."

Teacher He smiled and said, "It's nothing, this is what we should do. Alright, I should go now." With that, he stood up.

Chen Chuan also stood up.

Teacher He said, "Chen, the tallest tree in the forest is sure to be felled by the wind, so be careful. However, the more you are targeted, the more it shows your excellence. I look forward to your future performance, Chen." After speaking, he reached out and shook hands with Chen Chuan, then bid farewell and left.

Chen Chuan thanked him again, and after sending the teacher away, he returned to the training room and began his daily practice.

As evening approached, Cheng Zitong also came over and asked after entering the door, "I heard about what happened this afternoon. Are you alright?"

Cheng Zitong hummed and said, "The weapon permit has been taken care of, but once you apply for the exam, an exam task may be issued at any time. The content of the exam is still unknown. According to past situations, there will be one or more designated assignments, which may be local or in other cities, so you must be prepared at all times. Try to consolidate yourself this month."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "The student knows that the weapon permit is very important."

"Yes, it's good that you understand. You must find a way to get it, the sooner the better." Cheng Zitong reminded him again, then thought for a while, "By the way, there's one more thing I want to discuss with you.

Your next training may require more actual combat and more medicine, so the original remuneration may not be enough. The teacher has some assignment tasks here, ready for you to do, and also accumulate your experience in doing assignments alone. I don't know if you are willing?"

Chen Chuan said, "The student couldn't ask for more."

Cheng Zitong seemed to cheer up and said, "Then I will tell you about it. The selection of assignment tasks is actually very particular. If the level is too low, then the gold content is insufficient, even if you are excellent every time, the various clients will not think highly of you.

Moreover, I dare say that there must be many students who want to take the weapon permit exam now. High-level assignments with high rewards must be snatched up. Here, we have to compete for connections and the power behind us, but it's not worth it to fight for this, and there's no need to waste time on it, so we don't have to crowd together with them, but can find another way."

Chen Chuan asked, "What is the teacher's plan?"

Cheng Zitong looked at him and asked, "Do you know urban legends?"

Chen Chuan was slightly surprised, and then replied affirmatively, "I've heard of them. My uncle is from the patrol bureau, and he said that these urban legends often have traces of human involvement."

Cheng Zitong nodded and said, "Your uncle is right. Most urban legends are indeed like this, but there are exceptions. The next assignment task I will arrange for you is to solve a case involving urban legends. Don't worry, the teacher has been studying this aspect for a long time and won't trick you. You will be fine if you do what the teacher tells you to do."

Chen Chuan said, "The student naturally trusts the teacher."

Cheng Zitong was very happy. He said, "You wait." He took out a stack of paper from his briefcase and pushed it in front of him, "The teacher has prepared it for you. This is the information. You can take a look first. The client will be negotiated by the teacher, you just need to do the assignment well."

Chen Chuan took it over, flipped through it, and his heart moved slightly, "The baby in the well? I seem to have heard of this urban legend when I was a child…"

In fact, every native of Yangzhi City has heard of the strange tale of the baby in the well when they were young.

According to legend, every year from October to November, after 9 pm, as long as you pour half a bowl of soybeans and half a bowl of black beans into the well water, a beautiful child will emerge from the well. At that time, the well water will turn into wine.

Adults don't feel anything after drinking this water, but children will fall into a coma for a whole day after drinking it, and children like it very much, because this way they can skip class, but most children will forget what happened in the past one or two days after waking up, but occasionally some children will become foolish because of this.

It's not that no one has tried to solve this matter, but they all failed. In the end, adults can only restrain their children, but you can always hear about such things from time to time.

He remembered that his predecessor had also tried with a group of friends when he was a child, but apart from wasting half a bowl of black beans and soybeans, they didn't see anything.

As he flipped through the information and read the detailed records, he realized that his approach was actually useless.

The "Baby in the Well" only appears in the old Chenghuang Temple area in the northern suburbs, and it also appears regularly. Every time it starts in October, and it appears in old wells that are at least 30 years old in the north of the city according to a certain pattern. There is also a hand-drawn distribution map of the wells in the information.

Looking at the activity curve above, it looks a bit like it is moving along with the groundwater, so if the well is not exactly on the route and the feeding point is wrong, you will definitely not encounter it.

Below the information, there is a paragraph written in red pen, noting that as long as you calculate the next possible well where the baby in the well will appear, take a bucket of water from it a few minutes before 9 pm, and then pour half a bowl of soybeans and black beans into it, the baby in the well will climb up the well wall by itself and run into the bucket. Then, take it away and send it to the designated place.

The information has a detailed map showing the location of every old well in that area, and the corresponding dates are also marked below.

With this, things will be much simpler. Even if you can't determine it at once, with a general range, you can find the correct target by constantly eliminating possibilities.

Chen Chuan looked up and asked, "Teacher, did you organize this?"

Cheng Zitong said, "Yes, I usually like to study these things. The old man always scolds me for not doing my job properly, alas, what do you think?"

Chen Chuan thought for a while and replied seriously, "I think it's very good. These mysterious things give people a lot of unknowns, and the feeling of exploring the unknown and pursuing the answer is very wonderful."
