Atlas of Heaven and Earth-Chapter 161: Mountain Ghost
Three days later, through the efforts of Bloodstain Gang's Lawyer, Zhuo Bao was released from the Patrol Bureau after paying a large sum of temporary bail.
Due to the Patrol Bureau's deliberate delay, his arm had missed the best time for reattachment, and during his detention at the Patrol Bureau, even though he was injured, he was thoroughly dealt with through various overt and covert means, so he now looks extremely listless.
When he got into the car that came to pick him up, an old man sitting in the back seat saw him silent and looked at his bandaged broken hand, advising him, "If the hand can't be reattached, just replace it with an Implant. I guarantee it will be better than the old one, and it won't Influence your combat power."
He signaled the driver to drive, and then said, "But what did you do to get taken care of by a Wuyi Academy Student? You are the five claws of our Bloodstain Gang and the face of our Company. This is embarrassing, you know? I've already suppressed the matter. Don't mention it again in the future."
Zhuo Bao grinned, revealing a trace of neurotic smile, "I'm going to kill that kid."
The old man shook his head, "Don't even think about it. I've checked. That kid's uncle is a Captain in the Patrol Bureau, and he's got connections with the upper echelons of the Patrol Bureau. If you touch him, the Patrol Bureau will definitely make things difficult for us."
Zhuo Bao turned his head and stared straight at the old man with bloodshot eyes, looking like he would explode at any moment, "Uncle Han, does that mean this matter is just going to be dropped?"
Uncle Han looked back at him and said in a deep voice, "The gang is full of trouble lately. Besides the Iron Chain Gang, there's another force eyeing us, and there are people secretly trying to bite us. Don't cause me any trouble right now. When the gang settles the external affairs, you can find a chance. I won't stop you then."
On the other side, as soon as Zhuo Bao was released, Chen Chuan received a notice from the Patrol Bureau, telling him that if this person appeared in front of him again during the bail period and engaged in any provocations or attacks, he could be directly killed without bearing any responsibility.
Chen Chuan thanked the notifying officer, but he didn't care about this. If it weren't for not wanting to expose the Unlimited Self-Defense Permit, he would have killed Zhuo Bao back then.
As for the Bloodstain Gang's revenge, not to mention that the Bloodstain Gang is having trouble taking care of itself right now, even if they really came, without guns, it would just be an opportunity for him to practice his moves.
There is simply no comparison between ordinary people and Martial Artists. As Mutated Tissue gradually strengthens, the gap between him and ordinary people is getting bigger and bigger, and they cannot be compared at all.
Compared to the Bloodstain Gang, what he needs to be more wary of now is the Mutual Aid Society.
At noon that day, Cheng Zitong came over and said to him after sitting down, "Little Chuan, I asked around. Bureau Chief Lei's information is very accurate. Last time because of the water pollution incident, many officials from Government Agency were dismissed, so there have been a lot of officials being transferred recently. Liu Zhan has also been active all along.
Although his transfer won't be so fast, that's just the formal assumption of office. The transfer letter may be issued in advance. Once he gets this thing, he might not honor his promise."
Chen Chuan nodded. He could understand. Liu Zhan, a bureaucrat like that, made the previous promise entirely on Bureau Chief Lei's face. Moreover, the Foreign Affairs Bureau was previously controlled by the Secret Cult Investigation Bureau and had to look at Bureau Chief Lei's face. Once he was transferred out, he would no longer care about this.
In Bureau Chief Lei's words, this person would probably use this matter to seek personal gain, so the Mutual Aid Society would probably immediately learn about the Evaluation.
Cheng Zitong said in a deep voice, "The teacher will follow up and pay attention to the matter over there. There shouldn't be any changes before the end of the month, so you can rest assured and act. The day before yesterday, the teacher sent a Telegram to Old He, but he hasn't replied yet. He may still be in Cultivation. I sent him a letter. He should see it in the next two days."
Chen Chuan thought for a while and said, "Teacher, the student wants to try to do that Supernatural EntityCommission, and I can also give an explanation to the Company."
"That Supernatural Entity..."
Cheng Zitong immediately knew which one he was talking about. This Supernatural Entity was relatively difficult because there was no precedent before, so their teacher and student had discussed it many times before.
He said, "Your approach is correct. If the Mutual Aid Society attacks you this time, if you can't cope, you will have to go out to avoid it. The Company does need an explanation. If this Supernatural Entity is dealt with, it will be worth it."
Although this Supernatural Entity seems very simple, he has confidence in his students, so he did not stop him, but just told him a few words and reminded him of some things to pay attention to. After the explanation, he stood up, "Okay, the teacher has something to do and will leave first. Wait for my call about Old He."
Chen Chuan said okay. After Cheng Zitong left, he began to prepare for dealing with this Supernatural Entity.
He wanted to find that Supernatural Entity not only to give the Company an explanation, but also because he needed to improve his combat power as much as possible.
Especially he needs to increase as much as possible
He doesn't know what kind of enemies he will encounter now, but the Mutual Aid Society will definitely collect all kinds of information about him and make thorough and targeted arrangements. Increasing Merge time can effectively increase his chances of winning.
The last Examination to execute the Unlimited Self-Defense Permit gave him more than an hour of Merge time, and the total Merge time has increased to more than four hours.
However, defeating Zhuo Bao a few days ago only increased it by a quarter of an hour, which was a limited improvement, because this person did not bring him much pressure, unless he gave up carrying a weapon and competed with him hand-to-hand.
But even if it happened again, he wouldn't do it. If he could defeat the enemy in a simple way, he would try to use a simple method instead of choosing another.
But only by encountering a stronger target and defeating it can the Merge time be effectively increased. At present, the Company's Supernatural EntityCommission is a suitable target.
But you have to prepare and bring some suitable tools.
Next, he spent a day preparing, and at the same time made a phone call to the Company to indicate that he would take over this Commission.
Arrived
Chen Chuan knew that many villages were not on the map, especially those that were a little far from the city and not very large would not be marked, because most of these people were not recognized by Yang Zhi.
Looking at it from a distance, the houses here are very old and, like villages in other places, have a distinct style of the Great Reclamation era. The original sentry posts have been transformed into warehouses.
After entering the village, they tried to inquire. The villagers were very curious when they heard that they were here to solve the Supernatural Entity in the mountains, and they all came out to watch, because it had been many years since the last team tried to eliminate this Supernatural Entity failed, and even they themselves had become accustomed to this Supernatural Entity.
An old man who looked like the village chief asked suspiciously: "Young man, can you really solve it?"
Xiao Wei said, "Don't you believe it, this Chen expert solved the Flying Head Monster, which was a Commission from the Government Affairs Bureau."
"Flying Head Monster." Mentioning this, these villagers looked at Chen Chuan differently. After all, Feitou Cult has a long history in this land, and its scope and Influence are much more well-known than the Supernatural Entity here.
Since they can solve the Flying Head Monster, they must be able to solve the thing on the mountain opposite. After all, this Supernatural Entity has been troubling them for many years. In the earliest days, the villagers raised a sum of money to let people take the Commission, but after several failures, no one was willing to take it. Who would be willing to live with a Supernatural Entity day and night if they could live a normal life?
So the villagers enthusiastically found a hunter to lead them.
There is only one road into the mountain. Only the beginning of the road can be driven on. After that, the car cannot go up. The rest of the road can only be walked.
Chen Chuan asked Xiao Wei to go back to the village and wait, and he followed the hunter into the mountain. After more than two hours, they came to a high slope. The hunter pointed to the mountain opposite, "Expert Chen, it's there, that temple. My uncle's generation and my grandfather's generation took people in there."
Chen Chuan said, "Thank you, go back, I can walk here myself."
The hunter saw that he was alone and was really worried, and said, "Expert Chen, do you really not need help? If I call back to the village, I can find a dozen or so good men from my neighbors."
Chen Chuan patted his solid shoulder, "Go back, I'll take care of the rest."
The hunter said, "Then be careful yourself."
After Chen Chuan waited for the hunter to leave, he looked at the mountain, recalling the information about this Supernatural Entity.
This Supernatural Entity is called "Mountain Ghost" and has a long history. There is a record of this incident in the Three Mountains legends, saying that there is a temple in Xie Mountain that originally worshiped statues of gods, but I don’t know when it was replaced by a statue of a ghost.
This chapt𝙚r is updated by freeωebnovēl.c૦m.
Two children went to the temple to play and came back saying that the statue's eyeballs would move. When the villagers learned about it, they thought that the mountain god had manifested, so they offered sacrifices, and the Mountain Ghost "ate with its belly and chewed it like candy'.
Originally, the villagers were overjoyed, thinking that the mountain god had manifested, but who would have thought that the Mountain Ghost would not only eat the offerings, but also eat the people who sent the offerings, and would come to the village to eat people on one or two nights every month.
So every night, the villagers closed their windows and doors tightly, hoping that it would not be their turn. But even so, no one left the village.
Because this place is remote, people hiding in the mountains do not have to pay taxes or perform corvée for the government, and they would rather endure the danger of being swallowed than go down the mountain.
The end of the legend is that the villagers scattered, and finally a group of people from the Secret Cult came and imprisoned the Mountain Ghost. This is also a protagonist that often appears in the Three Mountains legends.
When the Republic of China was established, a new village was rebuilt in the original deserted place. The first few decades were fine, until someone discovered a Mountain Ghost temple in the mountains, and the old things were repeated.
But today's villagers are different from the past. After all, they all came here during the Great Reclamation. The villagers were very sturdy. After discovering something was wrong, they immediately mobilized manpower and weapons to encircle and suppress it, and even hired Commissions, but all ended in failure, and few of the people who went there came back.
Until now, the villagers nearby put some livestock in the village every night and hide in the fortress in the distance to avoid being disturbed by the Supernatural Entity.
But even so, over the past twenty years, more than a dozen villages that originally surrounded Xie Mountain have disappeared one after another, and most of the people died of strange diseases.
After learning about this, Chen Chuan has been thinking about solving this problem.
Talk, I used to think that I didn’t have enough ability to protect myself, but now I’ve arrived
After watching for a while, he was about to step towards it when he suddenly noticed something. He raised his hand and looked at his wrist, where a strand of the Flying Head Monster's hair was tied, but it was now reacting slightly.
He thought for a while, this should be because he patted the hunter just now. He silently put down his hand, looked at the mountain again, tightened his grip on the Snow Emperor Blade, and walked in that direction.
