Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 296: Handling

Failed?

Zhao Qian's face darkened.

You Xing had a 100% success rate in the past, and he also knew that he had worked for the Company and completed tasks efficiently. Therefore, he trusted his abilities.

But how could someone like that fail?

What could be the reason?

Since this cleanup was done through the platform, You Xing was not aware of the client's identity, and he was also not aware of the specific execution details.

He didn't think Chen Chuan could do this on his own. Was it due to the Processing Bureau or the Wuyi Academy's protection? Or was there an unknown force involved?

If it was an unknown force...

He once thought that Chen Chuan was a pawn pushed out by the Government to deal with the Mutual Aid Society and Molan Company. Pawns are just pawns, generally discarded after use.

But what if the pawn was not a pawn, but had already joined them, or was one of them? Then You Xing's failure could be explained, and he had to consider that this matter might have triggered the vigilance of some departments.

He took a deep breath and decided to wait. Because of the Zhao Family's identity, Government departments had investigated him several times. Although he managed to get through each time, many people in the Company were dissatisfied with him, including some competitors.

If his personal actions influenced the interests of the department and the Company, these people would be eager to jump out and bite him. Even insignificant matters could be infinitely amplified. At this time, he couldn't give them any more excuses.

He knew very well that in Central City, the Company was the source of his greatest benefit. Only with the Company's skin on his body could he protect everything he had.

Anyway, he was in the dark, and he still had time. He would figure out the situation first.

After thinking about this, he said to the person on the other side, "No need for now."

"Okay, the reply has been recorded. If you need cleaning services again, the platform is always available. The deposit will be refunded to your account within three days."

Zhao Qian ended the call, deleted the record, stood up, and walked to the window. He contacted someone using the Boundary Token. After waiting for a while, the connection went through, and a very rigid voice came out: "Boss, what do you need me to do?"

Zhao Qian said, "I need you to investigate something, and also about a Wuyi Academy student. Remember not to alarm anyone. Don't send the information you find through the platform. Deliver it to me personally."

"Boss, you're so cautious. It seems the target has some background. How much time do I have?"

"I need the results within a month."

"Um, what about that other matter?"

"Leave that aside for now. This matter is more important."

"Understood, Boss. Wait for my news."

After ending the call, he stood there deep in thought.

Footsteps came from behind. A petite young woman, about fourteen or fifteen years old, walked in from outside.

She had obvious Embedded lines on her neck, scattered bioelectric light on her cervical vertebrae, and the parts below her thighs were clearly Implant limbs.

She picked up a drink from the table, poured a cup, held it with both hands, came to Zhao Qian, and slowly knelt down, offering the drink.

Zhao Qian took it and took a sip. He looked down at her pure and delicate face and said, "Every time I see you, you look so similar. Good, just kneel there."

The young woman remained silent.

Zhao Qian turned and left, leaving the petite figure kneeling there, reflected in the glass curtain wall.

Outside the north passage checkpoint of Central City, Chen Chuan drove the Jiade car to the checkpoint and slowly parked it by the roadside.

He looked at the open road ahead and the City Patrol officers patrolling back and forth. This was one of the main passages into Central City. Because of the road closures, he hadn't entered the city from here, but had chosen to go around.

Such things were actually quite common. Central City was so big that it was impossible to watch every place. Most people without identification entered the city from those marginal areas. Smuggling activities were rampant in these places, and violent activities were unavoidable.

Not to mention those places, even the checkpoints had been subjected to forced rushes and violent attacks. Therefore, he came to pick up Gao Ming this time, more to take care of the latter's safety.

He waited only a short while before seeing a gray-white car drive towards the checkpoint. It began a complicated inspection process. More than ten minutes later, the car slowly drove out.

At this moment, the continuous rainy days gradually dissipated, and sunlight shone through the clouds, casting light on the road. He reached out, opened the door, and got out of the car.

The car also slowly stopped. The door opened, and Gao Ming stepped out of the back seat, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, smoothed his long, dark brown suit, and walked towards him.

Chen Chuan smiled slightly, walked up, and stopped in the place where the sun was shining. The two shook hands. He said, "Gao Ming, was the journey smooth?"

Gao Ming smiled and said, "Just had to wait a little longer at the checkpoint."

Chen Chuan asked, "Have you found a place to stay?" frёewebnoѵēl.com

"The law firm has arranged an apartment. I'll stay there for now."

Chen Chuan said, "That's good. Once you're settled, I have something to discuss with you."

Gao Ming pushed up his glasses and said, "Cousin, you are my first client. You can tell me anything right away."

Chen Chuan hummed. "We'll talk about it when we get back."

He was very clear about his current driving skills, and he was also using a temporary permit, so he let Gao Ming return to his original car, and he just followed behind.

After taking Gao Ming to the law firm's apartment and helping him settle in, he didn't talk about business until everything was tidied up. He told him about Zhao Qian.

"This person was also a member of the Mutual Aid Society and one of the main planners of Senior Student Shen's incident. Wei Jun's later actions were just an imitation of him. However, although the Molan Company collapsed and the Zhao Family was destroyed, he escaped the purge."

Gao Ming said, "Cousin, based on the information you've given me, this person has a large company background. If we want to deal with this person, no matter what method we use, I first need to collect some necessary and detailed data. This will take some time."

Chen Chuan nodded. He knew that this matter couldn't be rushed. After all, this time they were facing not You Xing, who acted alone, but a middle manager of a large company. The resources he could use were far beyond what an ordinary Martial Artist could compare to.

After talking about business, he and Gao Ming chatted about Yang Zhi and the family. After eating a meal together, he left the apartment and drove the Jiade car back to the Academy.

While still on the road, the Boundary Token showed a contact. Seeing that it was Old Qi, he connected. Old Qi's voice sounded: "Little Chen, the materials you wanted have been purchased in the quantities you requested and placed in the warehouse."

Chen Chuan said, "Old Qi, did you encounter any trouble?"

Old Qi said, "No, no."

"Okay, Old Qi, thank you for your trouble."

"It's nothing."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment, turned around, and drove towards the warehouse.

The matter of the raccoon cat stone carving had to be resolved as soon as possible. Even though the Supernatural Entity was now fed by You Xing, according to his deduction, if ritual activities were not performed for a long time and the Supernatural Entity could not be satisfied, it might come out on its own to satisfy its needs. At that time, the restraint might not work.

That was why he brought this thing back instead of simply leaving it there.

He arrived at Wu Bei's warehouse, found the Secret Cult materials, and checked that the quantity and quality were fine. Old Qi was very reliable in this regard.

Next was to hold the ritual, but there were many important things in the warehouse, so the ritual could not be held here. But there was a place that was very suitable.

He parked the Jiade car here, borrowed Wu Bei's small truck, moved the stone carving onto it, drove out of here, and drove directly to the wasteland where Instructor Wu originally lived.

This location would not disturb others, and the energy field monitoring seemed to be weakened because of the problems in this area, so it was convenient to handle some things.

After arriving here, he looked around and finally found a place that seemed suitable. So he stopped here, moved the raccoon cat stone carving down, and placed it in a suitable position.

Then he turned back, put down the luggage bag containing the ritual materials, found a sheltered place, took out the things inside one by one, and finally opened the Data given to him by Bureau Chief Lei, and began to carefully trace the restraint ritual around it according to the pattern on it.

This time he drew two ritual patterns in a row. The first was just a simple isolation to prevent the Supernatural Entity from escaping; the second was the most important restraint ritual. Because he had actually operated it once before, this time he was more confident. In just under two hours, he completed the two arrangements.

He checked it again and saw that there were no omissions or errors. He came to stand before the raccoon cat stone carving and looked up.

This raccoon cat stone carving was very old. It was deduced that it was originally shaped in its current form just to facilitate the placement of sacrifices and kowtows. In fact, the Supernatural Entity did not have a fixed form.

However, because the statue itself was old enough to be used as a carrier for the Supernatural Entity, it could be recycled later.

He reached out and pressed on the head of the raccoon cat stone carving. Immediately, his eyes narrowed, and a stream of Internal energy instantly penetrated it. The stone carving shook, and immediately, traces of cracks appeared on it.

At the same time, a violent roar came from his ears, and signs of fading appeared on Second Self.

After fighting You Xing, the Merge time was two days and ten hours, and the Strength possessed by Second Self was closer to his main body. But even so, when this Supernatural Entity was gradually released, the Merge time was rapidly reduced. This degree of invasion was the most intense he had encountered so far.

But similarly, while the Supernatural Entity was invading him, it was constantly stimulating the Mutated Tissue all over his body.

As a cracking sound came from the stone carving, pieces of gravel fell from the stone carving, and finally, it shattered into a pile on the ground. At the same time, a scream that could almost tear through the brain came from his ears.
