Chapter 330 Missing
Judging from the fight just now and the previous preparations, Chen Chuan believed that such sparring should be conducted about once every three days.
Just as he was thinking, Hong Fu's voice rang in his ears again: "The privacy clause is in effect. Students can choose to delete all records of the training session after the service ends. If you need to reproduce it, please handle the information record yourself."
After asking, Chen Chuan finally understood that after the privacy terms were activated, the sparring scenes could be deleted directly, and Hongfu herself would not remember the sparring process.
But he can leave the field information, and if necessary, he can return it to Hongfu during the next sparring or other services, and then Hongfu will remember it again.
He changed his mind and realized that sparring was a continuous process. In the final sprint to the third limit, he must and must keep making continuous progress, and Hongfu would also continue to cooperate with him during the fight. This service was very good. It could keep information confidential while avoiding being spied on.
So, under Hongfu's guidance, he deleted the information records and only kept the field traces on his own, waiting to restore them during the next docking.
After the operation was completed, several messages suddenly popped up on the platform. He glanced at them and found that they were all advertising messages about the ring match, inviting formal students to watch the match. Formal students did not need to pay anything, they only needed to confirm the invitation on the platform to obtain the qualification to watch.
He flipped through it and saw the time of the arena competition listed below. He was also informed that other students from Wuyi in Central City would also be here at that time, and they might have some exchanges with them. Interested students could join and get a few evaluation points.
The additional evaluation points are very attractive to many students, but the additional points are small, only one or two points at most, which is not very meaningful to him, so he just crossed them out.
After exiting the platform, he thought about it and realized that he would need to spend a lot of time practicing in the next one or two months in order to break through the third limit as soon as possible. Therefore, he needed to confirm the recent arrangements of the bureau, and it would be best if they could be postponed. He could activate some of the previously agreed agreements here.
So he immediately contacted Ni Qianqian, asking if there were any plans. He told her that because his alienated tissue growth seemed to have reached a stage of improvement recently, he needed a more stable time to train, and asked the bureau to give him some free time to adjust according to the agreement.
Ni Qianqian expressed her understanding. She said, "In that case, according to past agreements and practices, the bureau can postpone your arrangements. Is one month enough?"
Chen Chuan said: "It may take a little more time."
Ni Qianqian hummed, "Okay, I'll try to get it. For a student with potential like you, the bureau can make an exception. As for the exchange competition over there, they were originally planning to let me invite you again, but I'll help you decline it now."
Chen Chuan thanked her and asked, "Sister Ni said last time that the bureau was taking action against Wei Wusheng's junior brother. Has there been any breakthrough there?"
Ni Qianqian said, "We failed to apprehend Wei Wusheng this time, but we have made some progress with his junior brother. The two of them are indeed connected, and the bureau is now digging deeper into this clue. The higher-ups are saying that the official competition will take place at the end of June, and they want us to apprehend him before July. But I don't think it's that easy.
"Okay, focus on your cultivation and don't worry about the bureau's affairs for now. I'll submit your application later." After saying that, she ended the call.
Chen Chuan thought about it. It was already June. If Wei Wusheng really came to attack him that day, even if he retreated afterwards, he could still use the story of the raccoon cat to attack him.
But think about it again, with Wei Wusheng's strength, even with the current strength of the ghost story, he probably can't be killed. At most, he will be seriously injured. With his level of horizontal training, he may be able to recover in a few days.
So for now, he should concentrate on breaking through. Once his strength improves, even if this person doesn't come to find him, he will take the initiative to find him.
It was already noon. He ate a few nutritional pastes, rested and adjusted himself, and browsed the marginal channels. After two o'clock in the afternoon, he lit the incense burner again, took some medicine, and entered a state of tranquility.
In Jiyang District, An Cheng breathed a sigh of relief after a night on duty and handing over to his successor.
Recently he felt that he seemed to have more and more things to do, such as being on duty, patrolling, helping the bureau deal with various violent incidents, running from one place to another without stopping for a moment, and he could hardly find time to practice martial arts.
He estimated that this kind of days would continue for a while. Wei Wusheng had not been caught yet, and the people in the bureau had to be on high alert.
Also, because of the ring competition recently, a lot of people have come to the central city, most of whom are fighters, which has caused many violent incidents. I'm afraid I won't be free for the next two months.
He walked into a restaurant whose signature dish was the famous fisherman's chicken rice balls from the Southeast Baliu Islands. The rice balls were made from chicken broth and served with freshly sliced chicken. They were very delicious and convenient.
After ordering at the counter, when the chicken rice balls were served, Sun Rao walked in from outside and sat down in front of him. An Cheng said, "You're a little late."
Sun Rao said, "Deal with some things."
An Cheng chuckled, "How can we handle everything? I heard you were partnered with that new guy a few days ago. How do you feel about that?"
Sun Rao looked at An Cheng and said, "He is very polite, not offensive to get along with, and not arrogant at all."
An Cheng gave him an unhappy look and said, "If you want to say something about me, just say it directly. Why are you beating around the bush?"
He picked up the chicken rice ball, took a big bite, and picked up a piece of chicken to go with it, chewing it together. After swallowing it, he asked again, "By the way, didn't I follow you this time?"
The chicken and rice balls that Sun Rao ordered were served at this time. He picked up his chopsticks and said, "It seems that he has other arrangements. If it weren't for the special circumstances this time, he probably wouldn't be assigned with me. It's hard to say what will happen in the future. After all, his potential is much greater than ours. The bureau won't use him as an ordinary reserve law enforcement officer."
"Really?"
An Cheng snorted, and it was obvious that he was still holding back some anger, a reluctance to admit defeat.
Sun Rao took a bite, nodded, and said, "Not bad, I'll come again next time. Have you been sticking to your daily training recently?"
An Cheng said, "Of course. Every day, no matter how late I get home, I have to make time to train. Otherwise, how can I possibly catch up with that newcomer?" He glanced at Sun Rao and said, "I say, don't be the one among us who gets eliminated."
Sun Rao said with certainty: "No!"
"Won't?"
An Cheng looked at him: "Are you so sure?"
Sun Rao said calmly, "Because my marksmanship is better than many people in the bureau. There are many second-level fighters, but few have marksmanship like mine."
An Cheng had to admit that he was right. A gunman like this, after taking drugs and equipped with a high-powered weapon, could threaten a third-level fighter. The bureau would definitely not give up on him.
When Sun Rao was practicing his marksmanship, he scoffed at it. But now it seems that he is the one most likely to be eliminated, and he can't help but feel a sense of urgency.
At this moment, a communication sound suddenly rang in his ears, informing them that an incident had occurred somewhere in the area and they were asked to go over and deal with it.
The two men had no choice but to quickly finish the food on their plates, then hurriedly got on the armed patrol car and rushed to the scene of the incident.
More than ten days passed in a flash, and it was already late June.
Not long after Chen Chuan finished sparring with Hong Fu, he saw the contact signal on Lao Qi's portrait in the Jie Ping light up. He connected it and asked, "Lao Qi, what's going on?"
Lao Qi said, "Brother Chen, you told me to pay attention to anomalies. I recently discovered an anomaly and I might want you to take a look at it."
Chen Chuan knew that if there wasn't something special and unusual that had a significant impact, Lao Qi wouldn't have contacted him. He said, "Lao Qi, take your time."
At this moment, Lao Qi sent a photo over and said, "This hotel..."
Chen Chuan took a look and saw that it looked like an old-style hotel, about ten stories high. There was nothing much to be seen from the outside. He asked, "Is the abnormality in this hotel?"
Lao Qi said, "There have always been problems with this hotel. People who have stayed there sometimes mysteriously disappear. There was also one case where a family stayed there and when they came out one person was inexplicably missing. But after this person disappeared, the family and friends would completely forget about them, as if this person had never existed in their lives..."
Chen Chuan said: "If that's the case, how did this get known?"
Lao Qi said: "It is said that there was a photographer who needed to take a group of photos of old-style hotels. This hotel just met his goal. However, due to the weather and various reasons, he took photos for more than ten days in a row. But when he was sorting out the photos, he found that the people coming in and out did not match.
After discovering this, he paid close attention for over a month, confirming his suspicions. He then checked the number of registered guests and discovered a significant number were missing. Over the past three years, no fewer than three hundred people have disappeared from the hotel, an average of one every three days. These missing people had completely vanished from the face of the earth, with no one remembering them anymore.
Chen Chuan thought thoughtfully. From this perspective, the missing people simply disappeared from people's memories, rather than having all traces of their existence erased. Judging from this alone, it is impossible to tell whether it is an anomaly or a tantric ritual.
Lao Qi continued, "Later, the photographer published this incident on various platforms, which aroused the interest of many people, but no results have been found so far.
Until last month, the situation changed again. Anyone who went in never came out again. Even if someone posted a notice nearby telling people not to go in, most passers-by would unconsciously walk in. A colleague I know from the company also disappeared when passing by there.
Now the whole street is empty, but because it's in Hongsheng District, a lower-city area where non-citizens live, no one is really here to take care of it."
Chen Chuan's expression became more serious, and he said, "I'll take a look when I have time."
