Atlas of Heaven and Man

Outside the Meng Manor, Old Wan and Xiao Lu, upon receiving the message from the bureau, immediately rushed here.

Due to the special nature of the White Bird District, and to avoid being easily detected, they couldn't stay too close beforehand, but even so, they arrived at the location in less than a quarter of an hour.

However, they were stopped by Meng Xu's security guards when going up the mountain. Although they quickly contacted Meng Lai, the owner of the manor, and even presented the pre-prepared execution permit from the Bureau of Handling Affairs, they were still delayed for a while.

The two had no time to argue with Meng Xu. After quickly arriving at the manor, they wanted to enter the underground passage, but saw a burst of light erupting from underground.

"This is..."

The two couldn't help but look serious, "A rift?"

Inside the underground space, the moment the light burst out from Meng Huang's head, Chen Chuan immediately closed his eyes and shielded his face.

But he soon found that these rays were only dazzling at first, and then, like rapidly flowing light mist, they drifted past him.

When he lowered his hand, he found that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed drastically.

Some of the places illuminated by these rays could still be seen clearly, while others seemed to have been merged and swallowed by the light, so everything in front of him became incomplete.

This made it seem like he was standing on pieces of floating rock, and the walls on both sides also looked fragmented and scattered. Everything visible seemed to be floating in mid-air.

Aunt Yu was standing not far from him at this moment. She said very quickly: "Mr. Chen, that thing should have used its remaining power to open a rift."

"A rift?"

Chen Chuan nodded.

Although he hadn't seen it before, these situations matched the information provided by the Bureau of Handling Affairs. After the symbiotic body of certain beings on the other side is destroyed, sometimes, in order to achieve a certain goal, they will forcibly use a bit of remaining power to tear open a temporary rift.

The scene he was seeing was produced by the fusion of two worlds. Although it wouldn't really connect the two sides, it could cause some real objects to change.

At this moment, his brow was twitching slightly, searching for the other party's location. In his mental perception, he sensed the other party's presence, and seemed to see it more clearly because of the existence of the rift.

It was a thing that couldn't be seen in its entirety. It seemed to be trying to squeeze out of a deep void, and the front end of the part that came out was constantly extending forward, pointing towards the door sealed by the secret religious ritual.

It seemed that there was indeed something there that it desperately wanted to obtain, so it was trying to find ways to enter.

What could it be?

This thing no longer had a host body and wouldn't exist for long, so what it was looking for must either be something it could take back, or something that could allow it to continue to exist.

In any case, he couldn't let it succeed.

He raised his blade and said, "Since you don't want to leave, then I'll send you on your way."

He glanced at the ground that had been swallowed by the light, which was actually the most intensely contaminated area. If he stepped into it, he would probably really be immersed in it, and then be more influenced by the opposite world.

He reached out and punched it, causing the door to shake non-stop, but even though this door seemed to have been permeated into a sieve, it was still thick and strong. At this time, something was thrown from behind. He reached out and grabbed it, and found it was a disc-shaped steering key.

Aunt Yu reminded from behind: "Mr. Chen, be careful of the ritual inside."

Chen Chuan thanked her and turned around. It seemed that there was still a ritual obstructing him behind this door, but these were just minor matters to him.

He found the lock, put the steering key on it, and after it was attached, he just turned it gently. A ritual node embedded in it snapped open with a crack, and all the ritual patterns surrounding the door instantly lost their effect.

He reached out and pushed, and a metal door that could accommodate one person was pushed open and retreated inward along the slide rail. He quickly walked inside.

Once inside, the virtualization phenomenon of his second self immediately intensified. He looked up and saw a circular tunnel without any decoration in front of him, but the walls and ground were covered with dense ritual patterns, which seemed to be chiseled on it, and the interior was filled with some ritual material that emitted a faint green light.

And it seemed that it was by relying on these and some other things that couldn't be said, the existence of the material world was also firmly locked, and it was not too much soaked by those rays.

At this moment, in his mental world, he saw the part of that being extending over, trying its best to probe forward.

However, what he saw in his eyes was a mass of things that seemed to be condensed from part of the brain tissue and blood vessels.

This should be Meng Huang's last body tissue, and the only part that could be parasitized. Similar to fleshy buds feet are extending from its bottom, and it is slowly wriggling forward on the ground, but it may be affected by the ritual, and the further it goes, the slower it becomes.

Chen Chuan looked past it and looked forward. At the end of the tunnel, there seemed to be something like a wellhead. That should be the goal of this being, but he wouldn't let it pass anymore.

He brandished his long saber and strode forward. As he walked, the influence of the ritual on his Second Self made it waver uncertainly, but it couldn't hinder his steps.

The thing seemed to sense his arrival and quickened its wriggling, but it was no use. Hindered by the ritual, its speed seemed too slow in comparison.

Chen Chuan approached it step by step, then raised the Snow Monarch Saber high, aimed the tip at the thing, and thrust down fiercely. The mass immediately convulsed and struggled violently.

At this moment, his brow throbbed slightly. In his spiritual perception, that behemoth seemed to notice him suddenly. Instantly, the ritual materials on the surrounding walls vanished rapidly, like powder on a wall being blown away by a strong wind, and his Second Self also faded to the point of being almost invisible.

He remained unmoved, firmly holding the blade.

At this time, he felt the Snow Monarch Saber tremble slightly. The thing inside seemed eager to come out and conveyed wisps of intent to him.

This thing had long been integrated with the aberrant tissue within the saber, and those aberrant tissues could be regarded as a part of himself, so it absolutely couldn't come out if he didn't agree.

He thought for a moment and released his restraint on it.

In the next instant, wisps of light-like mist emerged from the saber and enveloped the mass below, seemingly absorbing something desperately.

After only a few breaths, the mass below stopped struggling. A moment later, it turned into sand-like fragments. At the same moment, the flickering lights outside disappeared without a trace.

In his spiritual world, the connection with that behemoth was instantly severed, and he felt a burst of relief all over his body.

Looking down, there was only a pile of matter scattered into sand-like grains under the saber.

At this moment, the light-mist also slowly returned to the saber. He sensed that the thing was now conveying a sense of satiated satisfaction to him.

He thought for a while and didn't immediately investigate what it was. He pulled the saber from the ground, strode forward, and came to the edge of the well. Looking inside, he could see a metal ladder on the well wall for people to descend.

The newest and most complete novels are at 69shuba.top!

He didn't investigate what was at the bottom, glanced at it, and turned to leave.

After coming outside, he found that although the outside had returned to normal, the parts that had been soaked by those lights seemed to have undergone some kind of change, with rustling debris falling from above.

Aunt Yu had been waiting outside. Seeing him come out of the tunnel calmly, not at all like someone who had just walked through those ritual runes, she couldn't help but admire him.

To ensure safety inside, everyone except Meng Lai himself could only choose to endure the effects. Each time she passed through, she had to resist the extra ritual influence, which was definitely not easy. Perhaps only a fighter with Chen Chuan's strong physical fitness could appear so relaxed.

She said, "Mr. Chen, we need to get out of here quickly. There may be a risk of collapse."

Chen Chuan nodded and came out with her. He saw two people in the Bureau's uniforms waiting there, apparently the people sent by the Bureau to meet them had arrived.

"Executive Chen, are you alright?" Lao Wan and Xiao Lu walked up.

Seeing the rift, they were both relieved and worried, because the appearance of the rift meant that the entity on the other side had given up on possessing, and the matter was basically resolved.

But at this time, it was often the most serious time for contamination. If the essence blood and Shenchang were not accumulated enough, problems might occur.

Chen Chuan said, "I'm fine."

Lao Wan and Xiao Lu looked him up and down. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong on the surface, and as long as he remained rational, everything would be fine. Even if there was something, there would be a way to solve it.

Although he had already guessed the result, Lao Wan still asked cautiously, "Executive Chen, what happened to that thing?"

Chen Chuan said very surely, "It has been eliminated."

The two's expressions relaxed slightly.

Meng Huang had been eliminated, and most importantly, the influence had not expanded, so the situation was still within the scope of control. At the same time, they felt a little ashamed and admired, because this was almost entirely completed by Chen Chuan alone. Apart from running a few steps, they hadn't been able to help.

However, due to their own responsibilities and procedures, they still needed to confirm again.

Lao Wan said solemnly to Aunt Yu, "We need to go to the scene to check again."

Aunt Yu said cautiously, "I'll take you there."

Chen Chuan then said to Aunt Yu, "Ms. Yu, where is the safe house?"

Seeing that the boundary had returned to normal, Aunt Yu sent him a location and said apologetically, "It's here, Mr. Chen. I can't accompany you now, please forgive me."

Chen Chuan said, "It doesn't matter, I can go by myself."

After separating from the others, he came out of the underground passage, looked up at the golden sunlight near noon, spread out his palm to feel the warmth, and then clenched it.

The intense stimulation when facing that entity just now had kept his aberrant tissue growing.

However, this growth was a restless, random surge, which needed to be suppressed and corrected with Shenchang and essence blood.

With this back and forth, it couldn't be said that he had lost out. After all, medicines to gather and nourish these two were much easier to find. If special medicines were lacking in the future, this might be a replacement method.
