Atlas of Heaven and Man

Chen Chuanxian and Meng Shu communicated briefly, checked the manor inside and out, and only returned to their living quarters after confirming there were no problems.

He first removed the Boundary Token, picked up a metal box, took out a tube of medicine from it, glanced at the shimmering liquid inside, removed the cap, raised it to his lips, and in one breath, tilted his head back and drank it down.

This liquid had no taste; upon entering his mouth, it seemed to transform into a cloud of mist, which then rapidly spread throughout his brain and body.

At first, he felt nothing, but after a while, he felt a slight fever all over his body, as if all the mutated tissues had come to life, possessing a kind of autonomous consciousness, and as when he released his restraints in the past, various inexplicable emotions began to arise in his heart.

Fortunately, he was experienced in dealing with this situation and was not affected in the slightest. His consciousness seemed to watch everything calmly from another observer's perspective.

At this moment, he suddenly seemed to sense something and looked towards the window, only to see the huge vortex in the sky again, and countless dancing, chaotic lights and fragmented, annoying sounds appeared in his ears and before his eyes once more, constantly assaulting his senses.

Not only that, but he also discovered that the place where he was seemed to have changed. The floor and walls were slowly蠕动 (wiggling/squirming), and a thought seemed to tell him that this was the real world, while what he usually saw was illusory and one-sided.

At the same time, he found that his usually stable body seemed to have lost its proper restraint, becoming ethereal and weightless, and the mutated tissues seemed to be eager to squeeze out of his body.

During this process, he felt his own strength also seemed to be increasing. Although he knew there was a problem, this feeling was still irresistible.

That consciousness seemed to be telling him to release his restraints a little more, just a little bit more, and that would be enough to gain more benefits, and there would be no danger at all.

But he did not relax because of this; his eyes were as cold and clear as ice water.

He remembered Cao Guixi's previous reminder, firmly guarding his own spirit and foundation, and not allowing these intrusions to collapse that mental dam.

However, under this continuous impact, he found that his original fixed cognition was gradually shaking and shifting.

Because human understanding comes from the self and from the external environment, and when all of this is changing, naturally, the original self no longer exists.

Therefore, in this process, if one is not careful, even a slight deviation of consciousness will naturally lead to the belief that what is in front of you is perfectly normal.

Realizing this, he shifted his consciousness and directly allowed his second self to accept all of these intrusions.

In that instant, the surrounding anomalies and sounds and lights all disappeared, his mind became clear, and even the various indescribable feelings of颠簸 (bumping/shaking) rotation and错乱 (disorder/confusion) coming from within his body disappeared.

Everything seemed to return to normal.

But in reality, this was only his consciousness returning to normal; his body and spirit were still undergoing some kind of change under the influence of the drug.

It's no wonder Cao Guixi said that the foundation must be solid. If there is not enough early accumulation, if a fighter rashly takes these special drugs, even if they can maintain their life and reason once or twice, those erosions will inevitably lurk within the body, and problems will arise one day.

Generally speaking, in this process, it is good enough for a fighter to maintain himself and wait for the drug to take effect. Other things are mostly impossible to do, and they can only let the mutated tissues evolve and grow on their own along the previously laid foundation.

But with the second self bearing the erosion, he found that he could consciously guide and restrain the mutated tissues, maximizing the efficiency of the drug.

As time went on, he felt the drug's effects slowly weakening, and the mutated tissues in his body were gradually returning from the initial state of excitement and growth to a calm stage, finally completely withdrawing from this state.

At this time, he discovered that more than three hours had passed, but it felt very short.

He glanced over and saw that the signs of虚化 (virtualization/becoming ethereal) on his second self were still continuing. Although it didn't look very strong, it gave his second self a sense of distortion. This should be the residual poison that Cao Guixi mentioned.

It's no wonder the government and companies have such strict control over this. If this stuff were fully provided, I don't know how many problematic fighters there would be, and these fighters all possess extremely strong martial power, and the damage they could cause would be enormous.

After taking this dose, he felt that his spirit seemed to have become more resilient and his body stronger.

It wasn't just that; the Alienation Organization was active once again, feeling like it had entered a rapid growth phase.

However, he knew this was just the effect of the drug continuing, and it couldn't last as long as before. Once the residual toxins were eliminated, it should stop, and then he could start the next round of medication.

He got up and tidied up the things around him, put the medicine back, and sorted out the data. But at this moment, he unexpectedly discovered some records in the gaps between certain lines.

But the problem was that he had roughly flipped through all the content and hadn't seen these before. He could be sure they weren't there before, so where did they come from now?

Was there a problem with his memory, or did that contact just now give him some kind of perception ability, so he noticed it?

Thinking about it again, it didn't seem that simple. He stroked it with his finger; it was written with special ink. The scarlet and continuous handwriting looked like crawling earthworms, like some kind of bloodstain.

Associating it with the transmission of words that Cao Guisui said, it was very likely that people who hadn't taken the medicine couldn't use direct methods to tell, so they used this method. If that was the case, it would be easy to understand.

This content was divided into two parts: one was the secret to guarding oneself in the alien phenomenon, and the other was to warn future generations not to indulge in it. If one lost the awareness of being human, then it would no longer be oneself.

He carefully read the content hidden in the gaps and couldn't help but feel the painstaking efforts of his predecessors. However, he had a second self, so he could learn about the secret, but this step could be omitted.

At this time, he took the Realm Token and put it back on. However, he saw a voice message from Yan Yi ten minutes ago, so he clicked on it, and a voice came from inside.

"Mr. Chen, there is a situation you need to know. If you have time later, could you please come to Miss's place?"

Chen Chuan first replied, then walked out of the villa and came to the residence. When he arrived at the door, a middle-aged maid led him to the living room. Meng Shu and Yan Yi were both there at the moment. Meng Shu was sitting on the sofa, while Yan Yi was holding her chin with her fist, pacing back and forth.

Chen Chuan waited for the maid to leave, then looked at the two of them: "Did you encounter any situation?"

Yan Yi said: "Mr. Chen, the company sent a message saying that Miss is required to go to the company for a family meeting."

Chen Chuan said: "Family meeting? Do you have to go?"

The latest novel is available at Liu 9 Shu Ba!

"The problem lies here. Because this meeting was initiated in the name of Meng Gong, the technical staff does not have permission to enter the Meng family's internal platform to check the details, so we cannot determine the authenticity of this news."

This was the disadvantage of them not being in the company. They couldn't determine the situation there. Although some people in the middle management positions had expressed their willingness to join Meng Shu, these people were just showing goodwill in advance and there was no real loyalty.

As for the people they had placed, they hadn't climbed to high positions yet, and they weren't clear about the company's high-level decisions, so they couldn't play any role.

Chen Chuan glanced at Meng Shu and said, "Will there be a problem with Mr. Meng?"

Yan Yi said: "It shouldn't be. Meng Gong has the best security team around him, and he himself has top-notch medical and security services. Moreover, it is much easier to deal with Miss than with Meng Gong, so this possibility can be ruled out."

Chen Chuan asked: "What problems will there be if you don't go?"

"Because this family meeting is convened in the name of Meng Gong, if Miss doesn't attend, she will greatly lose points in the family."

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "What are your thoughts?"

Yan Yi said: "If this was issued by Meng Huang, he just wants to lure Miss out of Moti Mountain and attack us on the way. Mr. Chen, in this situation, can we cope with it with complete security?"

Chen Chuan said: "It is difficult to guarantee without knowing how many people the other party will mobilize. If there is only one Third Threshold fighter coming, then I can guarantee that I can hold them back, but if there are two or more, then it will be difficult to cover your safety."

Yan Yi said: "Then it is determined, we only have one choice, even if we encounter an identity crisis because of this, we can only do it, that is, stay on Moti Mountain and hold on."

She turned to look at Meng Shu, "It should be within Meng Huang's consideration that Miss will not go, so I think his next choice is to use this name to take back the security team assigned to us by the family.

This will reduce our protection by one-third, and it will be very difficult to find a suitable and trustworthy team in a short time.

And although we have ordered a batch of biological weapons before, there is a limit to the purchase of high-energy nutrient solution. We have no way to enhance more, and the difficulty of defense will greatly increase. Mr. Chen, this will increase the pressure on you again."

Meng Shu then said: "Yan Jie, please go out first."

Yan Yi knew that she had something to say to Chen Chuan, nodded and said: "Okay, Miss." Then she turned and walked out, and closed the door.
