Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 156: Warning
When Chen Chuan heard the name Bloodstain Gang, he glanced around the living room and asked, "What's it about?"
Ren Shu said, "It's about the previous commission related to the Skull-Splitting Demon . The letter was sent before Expert Chen returned. We said that Expert Chen wasn't here. Now that we hear you're back, they've sent someone again." He added, "But this time, they didn't come in the name of the gang, but in the name of Migratory Bird Company."
Chen Chuan knew that Migratory Bird Company was just one of the many companies opened by the Bloodstain Gang. It was just a facade, but it made things look better on the surface.

He thought for a moment and said, "I don't have time right now. The contents of the last letter weren't clear. Have them send the specific details over. I'll talk about it after I've read them."
Ren Shu said, "Okay, I'll reply to them like that."
After he hung up, he went back to talk with his aunt's family. But after lunch, Ren Shu called again, "Expert Chen, the Bloodstain Gang has already sent the materials over. They also want to talk to you in person..."
So fast?
Chen Chuan "s mind raced. It seemed that the Bloodstain Gang was indeed very anxious. But he didn't want Holiday to run around for this matter, "Just say I'm busy. We'll arrange a time for tonight." Ren Shu said, "Okay, I'll have Wei come to pick you up then."
Chen Chuan stayed at his aunt's house all afternoon. After dinner, he made a confirming phone call, washed up, changed his clothes, and then went out.
This time, in addition to bringing the Snow Emperor Blade, he also had a carrying bag in his hand. Inside was the box containing the Tayana Spider . Because this thing wasn't big and was highly dangerous, he didn't leave it at the school, but carried it with him.
When he arrived at the alley, the driver Wei had already driven the car to the entrance. He got straight in, and the car started smoothly, driving all the way to the company.
Ren Shu had been waiting for him. When he saw him arrive, he came out to greet him, and after exchanging greetings, he said, "Expert Chen, the person is still here waiting, he has been sitting here all afternoon."
Chen Chuan said, "He's very patient indeed."
Ren Shu said, "We are a legitimate company. Even if it's the Bloodstain Gang, since they're talking to us as a company, they have to abide by the rules between companies."
When he said this, his tone was different from when he was talking to Chen Chuan , and he sounded very confident, because this was undoubtedly the area he was good at.
He looked at Chen Chuan again and asked, "Does Expert Chen want to see him now?"
Chen Chuan said, "Let's do it now."
Ren Shu said okay. He gestured, and a staff member went to invite the person, while he led Chen Chuan directly to the reception hall on the third floor.
He said, "We're installing an elevator, so Expert Chen won't have to run up and down every time."
Chen Chuan nodded. He knew what Ren Shu meant. He was constantly trying to provide him with better conditions. That's why he gave the company more in return. He said, "The company's environment is good now."
When they arrived at the reception room, the two sat for a while, and then they heard someone outside saying, "Mr. Li, this way please."
A moment later, a tall, thin man walked out. On the surface, he didn't look like a gang member at all. His clothes were no different from those of other senior company employees.
After entering, he introduced himself to the two, saying that he was Li Hui , a senior manager of Migratory Bird Company, and then greeted the two warmly and politely.
After some flattery and polite words, the two sides sat down. Manager Li tried to ask, "I wonder if Expert Chen has time to listen to me explain the situation?"
Chen Chuan said, "That's why I asked Manager Li to come here."
"Yes, yes."
Manager Li took the briefcase from his hand, placed it on the table, took out a stack of data from it, and handed it to Ren Shu and Chen Chuan , "This is the data that our company sent at Expert Chen's request."
Chen Chuan took it. As he flipped through it, Manager Li added, "Please allow me to briefly explain the situation. Three respected gentlemen within the Bloodstain Gang have died, which is truly regrettable."
Chen Chuan remained noncommittal, flipping through the data. Before, he had only seen written descriptions, but now he saw very direct photos.
The skulls of these three people were split open to both sides when they died, and separated exaggeratedly. At a glance, you could see that everything inside was gone. This couldn't help but remind him of the two halves of watermelon that had been cleaned with a spoon in the afternoon.
Just looking at the photos, he seemed to be able to feel that the one who was eating at the time carefully peeled open the skin and flesh, carefully separated them, and not only ate the main brain tissue, but also licked the internal residue clean, without leaving a trace. There were no traces of blood around, only an empty skull.
Ren Shu only glanced at the photos a few times before he felt that he couldn't stand it. He felt nauseous and could only cover his mouth with a handkerchief.
Manager Li was there saying, "We have investigated repeatedly, and even asked people to come and take a look, but we have not been able to find any clues. They were just sleeping in their own beds, and their brains were broken like this, so we can basically determine that this should really be the work of the Skull-Splitting Demon ."
Chen Chuan looked at the following specific investigation records. All the dead died suddenly. For example, one of them was talking to his wife in bed, and then there was no sound.
This wife was very dissatisfied, and then when she turned around, she found a split head and an empty skull, so she fainted on the spot, and then experienced it again after waking up, and her spirit was still having problems.
Another person, perhaps the family didn't care about him very much. In the morning, his lover got up, dressed carefully, greeted him, and went out, completely unaware that the person in the bed had been eaten in the head, and it wasn't until the evening that they were still lying there that they realized something was wrong. At that time, it was already cold.
Only the last person was found in the gang's office, and there were no traces of outsiders breaking in at the scene.
At this time, he said to Manager Li, "The Skull-Splitting Demon has appeared in Yangzhi City for a long time, but it has never been resolved, so I want to study it first before deciding whether to accept this commission."
"Okay, okay." Manager Li was very good at identifying expressions. Now the only hope was with Chen Chuan . It was already good that the other party was willing to check, and he didn't dare to put on a bad face. He stood up, "Then I won't bother Expert Chen. If Expert Chen has any discoveries, please be sure to notify us."
He took out a business card and placed it on the table, greeted the two, and left very tactfully.
Chen Chuan waited for Ren Shu to send this person back before asking, "Mr. Ren, has the company reported any similar situations from other places?"
Ren Shu thought for a while and said, "We recently took a batch of data from the Government Affairs Hall, and we didn't see any similar reports, but I don't know if there are any that haven't been reported. However, I have already asked people to sort out all the past reports about the Skull-Splitting Demon . Does Expert Chen want to see them now?"
Chen Chuan said, "Okay, bring them all over."
After the staff brought these files over, he removed some of them that were obviously used by someone to confuse the public, as well as those that were too old, leaving only the more valuable ones.
After reading them, he found that these situations were exactly the same as what he had seen in the previous photos. However, this could not really be confirmed unless he went to the scene to take a look, but seeing that the corpses above had already been buried, there was no need to go to the trouble again. He could only wait for the Skull-Splitting Demon to appear next time to see if there was a chance.
Because there was nothing else here, he didn't stay at the company for long and went straight back to school by car. On the way, he was also thinking, why is the Skull-Splitting Demon only targeting the Bloodstain Gang this time? Is it because the Bloodstain Gang did something? Or for some other reason?
As he was thinking, he suddenly reacted, stretched out his hand, and steadily grabbed a crossbow bolt shot from outside the car window.
However, judging from the direction, this crossbow bolt would not have hit him. If he judged correctly, it should have hit the car door next to him and then been nailed there.
He glanced over and saw a figure flashing on the roof across the road and disappearing.
He withdrew his gaze and saw that there was a note wrapped around the crossbow bolt.
This person's skills were obviously good, because even if there was a little extra thing on the arrow shaft, it might interfere with the arrow shot out. Being able to accurately shoot an arrow into the window of a moving car from a distance of more than 30 meters, and also ensure that it doesn't hit the people inside, this level of marksmanship is very high.
He took the note from it, opened it, and saw a sentence written on it in blood, "It's none of your business, stay away."
He was thoughtful. It should be about the Bloodstain Gang. It seemed that this was a warning.
Who could it be? The Iron Chain Gang?
On the surface, the Iron Chain Gang was the most likely to do this, but he had also been in contact with people from the Iron Chain Gang, but he always felt that this style was a bit inconsistent with the temperament of the Iron Chain Gang.
He said to the driver Wei , "Master Wei , stop the car ahead."
Driver Wei said, "Okay, Expert Chen."
After the car stopped, Chen Chuan got out of the car, tidied up his clothes, went to a quiet place, took the box out of his briefcase, and tapped it with his finger, "I need you to lead the way."
On the other side, the figure who shot the crossbow bolt jumped down from the roof, ran all the way around the quiet alley, and after half an hour, came to a remote building.
There were several young people inside. When they saw him come in, they asked, "Xin Ge , how is it?"
The person took off his hood, revealing a young face, and took a few deep breaths, "I have already warned that expert, but I don't know if he will continue to help the Bloodstain Gang." When he mentioned the Bloodstain Gang, a look of hatred appeared in his eyes.
A young man standing in the corner who didn't come over said, "The legend of the Skull-Splitting Demon has been around for so many years, and no one can solve it. I don't think it's necessary to do anything."
Xin Ge said seriously, "I told you, that expert is very powerful. Even the previous Feitou Cult was solved by him, so it is possible for him to solve the Skull-Splitting Demon ."
The young man still disagreed, "A person so powerful would be scared by your crossbow bolt, I don't think so."
"We always have to try."
The young man said, "What we need is not to scare people, but more good weapons. For example, this expert, wouldn't it be better to just kill him directly? Why bother with that effort?"
Xin Ge said in a deep voice, "There will be, I have already contacted them. When we get it, we won't have to be afraid of anyone."
