Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 216: Secret Map

Next to the off-road vehicle, Master Xiao Wei was leisurely waiting. He was already very experienced; when Mr. Chen went out on a commission, if he didn't tell him to go back first, then he would definitely be back soon.

He turned on the car's radio, and the news broadcast immediately came on. In recent days, the most frequently heard news was about the ownership of Melan Building.

Recently, this matter has been very popular. Many companies are interested, and the most frequently mentioned ones are state-owned enterprises like Yuan'an and Vast Blue Sky Canal, as well as domestic conglomerates like Longde Food and Heaven's Bounty Herbs. However, some foreign companies also seem to be very interested in this.

However, he wasn't interested in this, so he switched to a mystery program. He preferred listening to urban legends and the like.

Besides having good driving skills and being reliable, he was also chosen to be Chen Chuan's driver because he was interested in these things and felt that following Chen Chuan could expose him to many things he wouldn't normally see.

He had only been listening for a short while when he saw Chen Chuan walking over from a distance, so he immediately sat up straight and got out of the car to open the door for Chen Chuan .

Chen Chuan thanked him, sat down in the back seat, and after Xiao Wei returned to his seat, he said, "Master Xiao Wei , let's go back."

"Okay, Mr. Chen , please be seated."

The car started slowly and returned smoothly along the same route.

Chen Chuan placed the small leather suitcase he had obtained from Han Chang to one side. There might be many clues inside, but he didn't plan to open it; he would hand it over to Bureau Chief Lei later.

After the car returned to the city, he called Bureau Chief Lei . When he returned to the entrance of Wuyi Academy, Bureau Chief Lei's special car was already parked there.

Chen Chuan told Xiao Wei driver to go back first. He got out with the small leather suitcase and got into Bureau Chief Lei's car. The latter listened to him describe the mission process, had the personnel next to him record it, and then opened the suitcase on the spot. The first thing they saw was a stack of gold notes and a large number of Jian Yuan Coins, as well as some account books, vouchers, and notebooks.

Bureau Chief Lei turned a blind eye to the gold notes, flipped through the contents, and took out a booklet. After looking at it for a while, he looked up and said, "Chen classmate , have you looked at the data I sent you these past two days?"

Chen Chuan replied, "I have."

Bureau Chief Lei handed him the booklet, "Take a look first and tell me what you think."

Chen Chuan took it and flipped through it, seeing some simple drawings and a detailed price list of Secret Ritual materials.

After reading it, he thought for a moment and said, "The data Bureau Chief Lei gave me has the Life Cult's ritual patterns and the various Secret Cult materials needed, but this booklet is missing a lot. I think they may not want to reproduce the original ritual, but they are just limited by conditions and can't gather enough materials, so they had to make a simplified version."

"You're right, but things aren't that simple. Rituals are summarized by Secret Cult members generation after generation, and they are not so easy to modify. Those who can simplify them are usually extremely rare elites in the Secret Cult."

Bureau Chief Lei slowly said, "The simplification of rituals, although the effect is much less than the original, is more conducive to spreading. This is actually not a good thing."

He took out a booklet from the file bag next to him, turned to a certain page, and handed it to Chen Chuan , "According to clues, we have also found some previous arrangements of this cult. Compare it with the Secret Ritual patterns used some time ago. What do you see?"

Chen Chuan opened it and saw two photos of patterns that looked largely the same, but with subtle changes in the details. After looking at them for a while, he looked up and said, "He's trying to improve it?"

Bureau Chief Lei showed an appreciative look and nodded, "That's right, that's it. I have reason to suspect that the person behind it wants to take down the village after using these people from the Bloodstain Gang, and then arrange more rituals to improve his ritual structure."

He took back the booklet from Chen Chuan's hand and turned to a certain page, "Take a look at this again."

Chen Chuan took it and looked at it, feeling very familiar, and said, "This is a bit like the ritual pattern used by the Mutual Aid Society at the old factory…"

Bureau Chief Lei said, "Yes, but this is from three years ago. Turn the page, and the next one is what you encountered before."

Chen Chuan turned to the back and compared the two. They were not completely the same, but there were also changes in the details. At this moment, he suddenly thought of a possibility and looked up at Bureau Chief Lei , "Bureau Chief Lei , I feel that perhaps…"

Bureau Chief Lei nodded, "Just like you think, after our comparison, the drawer of the secret map who arranged the ritual in the old factory, and the one who drew the map for Life Cult before, can be sure it’s the same person."

Speaking of this, his expression was slightly serious, "We have reason to suspect that many Secret Rituals in Yangzhi City are inextricably linked to this person. If we can find this person, the entire underground Secret Ritual in Yangzhi City, if not collapsing, will definitely disappear for a long time."

Chen Chuan thought about it. It seemed that this person had been hiding behind the scenes, and even the collapse of Molan Company had not caused him to leave the stage.

He asked, "Bureau Chief Lei , since those Power families need to use this person to draw ritual secret maps, don't any of them know who this person is?"

Bureau Chief Lei said, "They really don't know, because they found the person through a double-sided Secret Cult. Because there is a set of rules for the interaction between Secret Cults, the disciples of the double-sided Secret Cult also don't know the person's true identity. We can only wait next, waiting for him to emerge again. We believe that this person should still be in Yangzhi City at this moment."

Chen Chuan thought for a while and very much agreed, "I think so too."

"Is that so? Tell me your reasons." Bureau Chief Lei looked at him, seemingly very concerned about the reason for him reaching this conclusion.

Chen Chuan pondered and said, "I feel that this person is seeking a breakthrough in skills, just like those of us who practice Martial Combat are always pursuing higher and stronger boundaries, trying to challenge one peak after another."

He pointed to the two pictures above, "He gives me the feeling that he is also chasing something. This kind of spirit is expressed very strongly, and it is difficult to ignore. I don't think this kind of person will easily retreat without reaching the target, even if he encounters setbacks temporarily, he will not give up."

Bureau Chief Lei looked at him a few times and slowly said, "You look very carefully." He took out a hard folder from his briefcase, opened it, and motioned Chen Chuan to take a look.

Chen Chuan put down the booklet, took the thing and looked at it, and found that the content written on it was an analysis of this person's secret cult symbol painter.

Looking at the handwriting on it, it should be from Bureau Chief Lei's hand.

It also believes that this person has a very paranoid personality and an absolute pursuit of perfection.

And behind this, a comment was written. Such a person will never succumb to temporary setbacks, and will definitely continue to improve his works in Yangzhi City to prove the perfection of his skills.

Bureau Chief Lei said in a deep voice, "The principles are the same. You Martial Artists need to challenge opponents and defeat opponents, and so does he. Looking at his ritual works, they are always getting bigger and bigger, as if he wants to use the scale to compensate for the original simplification effect. But now the situation in the city makes it difficult for him to give play to his talents.

If he wants to complete this kind of ritual, he may only be able to find a way outside the city, or introduce Strength from the outside to disrupt the city and attract other people's attention, so as to give him the space and time to arrange the ritual, and there happens to be such a force in Yangzhi City, even if Molan Company falls, it will not disappear."

Chen Chuan immediately reacted, "Bureau Chief Lei is talking about the Resistance Organization?"

Bureau Chief Lei nodded: "The so-called Resistance Organization in Yangzhi City has always been carrying out various malignant attacks under the banner of resisting the Government, without considering the lives and deaths of the people at all."

Chen Chuan nodded. Fang Dawei's gang had traces of cooperation with the Resistance Organization in their actions, and he had seen the recklessness of this group in the Foreign Affairs Bureau incident, directly shooting at the crowd, which was completely different from what they claimed.

It's just that according to Bureau Chief Lei's meaning, there seems to be a difference in this Resistance Organization? But this topic is very sensitive, so he didn't ask.

Bureau Chief Lei said: "Due to the lack of clues, we can't do anything now, we can only wait. You should read the Data I gave you as much as possible, and know how to prevent the key places. Martial Artists are very good at frontal combat, but some Secret Rituals are difficult to defend against. Knowing a little is good for you."

Chen Chuan deeply agreed. Although Shen Zheng had no opponents in the Academy, he still fell under the calculation of the Secret Ritual.

Moreover, in addition to being interested in mysterious things such as Secret Rituals, it seems that Secret Rituals can restrain Supernatural Entities.

If this can be done, can Supernatural Entities be used as another source of Drugs?

After this conversation with Bureau Chief Lei , he got out of the car and walked into the Academy. While walking, he was also thinking about this matter.

To say that there are no clues, that's not necessarily true.

When he was inspecting the corpses of the Bloodstain Gang remnants today, he found several people who were suspected of not being members of the Bloodstain Gang, because the Bloodstain Gang members would draw five bloodstains on their chests and clothes, so it was easy to distinguish the two, and these people had nothing on them to indicate their special identities.

Could these people be members of the Resistance Organization?

While thinking, he walked into the dormitory building. The dormitory teacher suddenly stopped him, "Chen classmate , Supervisor Cheng is looking for you. Call him back when you get back."

Chen Chuan came back to his senses and said thank you. He returned to the dormitory and called Cheng Zitong . After the call was connected, Cheng Zitong's excited voice came from inside:

"Little Chuan , get ready. The Armor Permit review committee will arrive at the school tomorrow. At that time, they will conduct an on-site review of you. If you pass, you can receive the Armor Permit."

Chen Chuan asked, "On-site review?"

Cheng Zitong said: "Most of them just ask you a few questions. The process always needs to be followed, otherwise the review committee would have no meaning."

Chen Chuan understood. After asking about the time, he said, "Okay, teacher , I will be there on time tomorrow."
