Chapter 363 Farewell to Yang Zhi
Director Lei held up his notebook and said, "According to the records above, they have only performed the ceremony twice in Dashun, including this one. However, there are no records of actions abroad, so the exact number is unknown."
Chen Chuan asked, "Since they have repeatedly conducted cult rituals, have they never been arrested before?"
Director Lei said: "The Sun Stone is not that easy to find. It is a banned item in various countries. The fact that they were able to obtain it means that there are high-ranking believers covering for them.
In past records, the Sun Worshipers generally didn't choose local people as their sacrifices. Furthermore, they were usually in remote suburbs, making it difficult for governments to find them. In fact, if they hadn't caused trouble this time, we would have hardly discovered it."
Chen Chuan understood this. The Esoteric Affairs Bureau had limited manpower and usually only took care of the area within the city. If something like this happened outside the city, no one would pay attention to it unless it was reported in the news or an abnormal situation suddenly broke out.
At this time he asked again, "Did they bring the Sun Stone from abroad this time?"
Director Lei said in a deep voice, "Sunstones from different countries have certain differences due to different processing methods. I just checked it out, and this one wasn't brought in from abroad. It must be domestic."
Chen Chuan looked at Director Lei and asked, "Is there anyone in China helping them?"
"Perhaps he's a follower of the Yang Worship Cult. He seems quite high-ranking at the moment." Director Lei's expression grew serious. "This is a serious matter. I need to report it to the higher-ups and continue the investigation."
He then solemnly said to Chen Chuan, "Student Chen, I will report this matter and commend you for your merit, but the following matters will be very complicated, so you don't need to follow up."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Director Lei, I understand."
Director Lei looked outside and said slowly, "I will be transferred next year, so I will do this last thing while I am in office."
After the people from the Esoteric Affairs Bureau investigated the matter thoroughly, they packed up their things and left. They will submit a report to the Government Affairs Office and take over the matter. As for the public, they will also give a reasonable explanation.
Chen Chuan and Ren Shu exchanged a few words, said goodbye, and returned to their car to drive back.
After returning home, he went into the room, took the Xuejun Knife, pulled it open and took a look. He saw that the blood line on the blade seemed to have become more vivid.
To be honest, he has never been clear about what exactly entered the knife in the first place, but now it seems to have brought more benefits, so he will not delve into it for the time being, believing that he will be able to figure it out sooner or later.
Because it was almost the end of the holiday and he would be able to return to the central city in a few days, he did not go anywhere else for the next period of time. He only occasionally called classmates and acquaintances, and took his cousins to the newly opened amusement park for a round of play every day.
On August 30th, Chen Chuan came out of his aunt's house dragging a suitcase with some gifts from his family and friends and classmates. He put them in the trunk, then turned around and said to Nian Fuli's family who had arrived at the alley entrance:
"Aunt, uncle, you guys go back. I'll come back to see you when I have time."
"Chan'er, remember to call."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Yes." Then he looked down and saw two little guys pulling at his clothes, tears in their eyes.
The time he spent at home was the happiest time for the two little ones. He brought them fun things, bought them delicious food, and took them out to play every day. Now that he is leaving, they are a little reluctant.
Chen Chuan smiled and patted the two little guys' heads. "As long as my cousin comes back, I will take you out to play."
Nian Mo raised his head and said eagerly, "Then my cousin must bring Xiao Ming back with him."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take it back with me." Chao Ming also leaned on the backrest and chirped at the four people. He looked up and said to Wan and Nian Fuli, "Aunt, Uncle, I'm leaving."
Yu Wan said, "Chan'er, be careful on the road."
Chen Chuan nodded in agreement. He opened the car door and got in. After closing the door, he looked out and saw that in addition to his aunt's family of four, there were many neighbors looking at him from behind. He smiled and waved, then started the car.
The Gard car drove slowly forward. After going for a distance, Chen Chuan could still see his aunt and others standing there watching him from the rearview mirror. Their figures disappeared only after they turned the corner.
He looked ahead and once again followed the same road he took at the beginning of the year, heading towards the central city.
This time we set off at seven in the morning, and at three in the afternoon, we passed the last checkpoint on the National Avenue and entered the central city. The boundary pass that we had worn in advance rustled a few times, and then connected to the platform of the central city.
Then, he saw voice messages appear one after another, scrolling up on the screen.
He listened to them one by one. They were all messages from acquaintances, classmates, teachers and colleagues in the central city. They hadn't contacted him for a long time, so they just said a few words of greeting. Most of them were nothing serious.
He replied in chronological order and informed them that he had returned to Central City today.
At the same time, he also received some advertisements for the ring match. This competition will continue until September and has not ended yet, but it is about to enter the final.
He paid a little attention and found that one of the two finalists was Huo Yucheng, whom he had previously paid attention to, and Yu Shen, who was once favored by everyone, had been eliminated, but it was rare that he escaped unscathed.
You have to know that this is a life-and-death battle. To withdraw without any damage, you must not only admit defeat voluntarily, but also make your opponent unsure of continuing.
He called up the two rematch scenes and took a few glances. Just as he had judged at the beginning, Yu Shen's real strength was higher than Huo Yucheng's, but he did not have the determination to fight to the end. He was forced to retreat several times by Huo Yucheng using the means of mutual destruction, and finally had to admit defeat.
Although Yu Shen has a strong background, from the perspective of the competition organizers, this person cannot bring them much benefit, so it is already very good to be able to get to this point.
After looking for a while, he saw that he had entered the city, so he closed the light curtain and drove onto the overpass. After more than an hour, he returned to the Xuangong Building. At this time, he looked up and saw the red shadow standing on the eaves. He nodded to it, and then entered the underground garage under its gaze.
After parking the car, he walked out carrying his suitcase and took the elevator up. When he reached the first floor, the door suddenly opened, and two students, a man and a woman in casual clothes, came in. Both of them had well-proportioned figures and looked good.
After the two men entered and pressed the floor button, the male student saw him carrying a suitcase and tried to greet him, saying, "Classmate, are you a new student too?"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "I guess so."
Hearing him say this, the student became closer, walked up, extended his hand, and introduced himself: "My name is Fan Cheng, this is Kong Yao, we are both freshmen this year."
Chen Chuan extended his hand and shook his, saying, "Hello, Chen Chuan."
Fan Cheng looked curiously at Chao Ming, who was lying on his shoulder, and asked, "Mr. Chen, is this your pet? What is it?"
Kong Yao also took a few glances and was obviously very interested in Chao Ming.
Chen Chuan said: "Its name is Chaoming, and its species is a bird lizard." Chaoming chirped at the two people as a greeting, and their cleverness surprised them.
Fan Cheng didn't know what a bird lizard was, but he didn't want to appear ignorant, so he said suddenly, "So it's a bird lizard. I thought so, haha..."
Chen Chuan smiled.
As they were talking, the elevator slowly ascended to the 22nd floor and stopped there. Fan Cheng and Kong Yao's dormitories were on this floor, so the three of them exchanged contact information. Fan Cheng then said to Chen Chuan, "We're both freshmen, so let's talk more when we have time."
Chen Chuan smiled and said okay.
After the two of them walked out, the elevator door slowly closed. Fan Cheng turned to Kong Yao and said, "Hey, that classmate Chen lives on a much higher floor than us. He lives on the 49th floor."
Kong Yao said, "The floor seems to be determined by the college's initial evaluation of the students. The higher the evaluation, the higher the accommodation. I heard that the highest floor will not exceed the 60th floor."
Fan Cheng exclaimed, "Student Chen is ranked on the 49th floor, so his evaluation is much better than ours. It seems that we should build a good relationship with him in the future."
Kong Yao said, "But that's just the initial evaluation. Only the admissions evaluation counts."
When Fan Cheng heard her talk about this, his face was filled with worry. "I was thinking about getting into Wuyi College, which would be a great success. But I didn't expect that my evaluation score would be low and I would be demoted to a non-staff student. I have to compete in the competition, and they won't even let me withdraw. It's really killing me."
Kong Yao muttered, "I don't want to fight in the ring either. I can only spend more money to buy some lessons from teachers. If I have a good sparring partner, I can definitely improve a lot."
"But others are also working hard. Oh, never mind. Let's just leave it at that for now."
On the 49th floor, the elevator door slowly opened, and Chen Chuan walked out. After a few steps, he came to the door of the room. He took out the key and opened it. Chao Ming spread his wings and slid down from his shoulders, rushing in. He put down the suitcase by the wall, walked to the opposite side, and opened the curtains.
In an instant, the light from outside shone in and fell on him. He looked at the beam of light in the direction of the arena in front of him and stood there for a while.
The next thing to do is to find some time to go to the address left by my parents and see what is left there.
But before that, some trivial matters need to be dealt with first.
Just as he was thinking about it, Ni Qianqian's profile picture flashed on the communication screen. He answered the call and Ni Qianqian's voice rang out: "Brother Chen, are you back to Central City?"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "I'm back."
Ni Qianqian said, "If you have time these days, please come to the bureau. There are some things the bureau needs to explain to you. It will be good for you to know sooner."
Chen Chuan said: "Okay, thank you Sister Ni for reminding me."
Officer Qiu from the Processing Bureau had told him before that there was something important he wanted to tell him when he returned to the central city. I think this is it.
Cao Guiqi had said something similar to him before.
He had always felt that there seemed to be something hidden under the central city, but at that time he was not at a high enough level to know it. Now that he has reached the third level, the secrets here seem to be about to be revealed to him.
