Chen Chuan was very calm at this time and glanced at "Second Self ”. As expected, the fading Influence appeared, and it was even more intense than yesterday. He remembered the reminder on the Data that he must not look at the front of that figure, so he did not shift his gaze there, but remained on the screen. However, the stimulation of Mutated Tissue could not be ignored at this moment. In order to prevent it from growing wildly, he had to continue to Guide it with Breathing Technique. Ignoring those unpredictable additional harm, this Influence was actually much greater than the effect of Drugs penetration. He completely ignored external interference and concentrated on doing his own thing, just like during training, because he also had Second Self as a defense line. As long as Second Self existed, he didn't have to worry about other things. Time passed slowly. At a certain moment, he suddenly noticed that the fading sign of Second Self disappeared. He took a breath and waited for a while, then slowly turned his head to look to the side, and saw that the seat was empty, with nothing there. He adjusted his breathing slightly, stood up, walked out of the theater seat, and after leaving the corridor, asked the assistant waiting there to say hello to Manager Huang, saying that he would be back tomorrow, and then left directly. When he got outside, because it was still early morning, the sky was still gray. After getting into the car that the cinema sent to take him back, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He reached out and touched his body, and found that some parts of his clothes were unthreaded. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but looking at it in the light, it seemed a little faded, and he was thoughtful. The Data that Cheng Zitong gave him did not mention that the position of the figure would change, and naturally there was no explanation or response to this situation. Now what he is considering is, what caused this? Is it because he Guided the Mutated Tissue? This is not impossible. The only thing he did in the process was this. It seems that no one has ever tried this before, but this is what he has to do. It is impossible for him to allow the Mutated Tissue to grow arbitrarily, and he must restrain it. He thought about it again. It takes three days to eliminate this Supernatural Entity, but on the second day, it moved to his side. Then he had to think about what would happen on the third day. Would it Merge with him? Or go somewhere else? If so, how should he respond? Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He can ask Cheng Zitong about this when he gets back, after all, this teacher has done a lot of research in this area. After returning to school, he first took a nap. He got up at eight o'clock in the morning, washed up, and prepared to go out. He originally planned to wear the coat from yesterday, but when he picked it up and touched it, he found that it was indeed a bit old, but it was just the coat. The inner clothes and the watch he wore seemed to have no Influence. He thought for a while, changed his clothes, went out and came to the public telephone here and dialed a phone number. After the call was connected, Cheng Zitong "s voice came out: "Little Chuan , you called me at this time, did you encounter any problems?" Chen Chuan said: "Teacher , there is indeed a question. The thing is like this." He roughly explained what happened a few hours ago. After listening, Cheng Zitong thought for a while and said: "It is not convenient to talk about this matter on the phone. Don't worry, I will come to you at noon and think of a way for you." Chen Chuan said okay and hung up the phone. He was not affected much and continued his daily training. When it was noon, Cheng Zitong came over and said to him: "Let’s go, let’s have dinner first and talk while eating." Chen Chuan knew that he was busy and had tight time recently, so he needed to use the meal time, so he followed Cheng Zitong "s footsteps. The two came to the teacher "s private room in the cafeteria, sat down and ordered food. Cheng Zitong asked for more details, thought for a while, and then said: "I haven’t heard of the change in position before. Your situation is quite unique, but it may be related to your Guide Mutated Tissue. Looking at past records, whether in old times ancient books or modern records, the Supernatural Entity is most easily seen by Martial Artist like us. There seems to be a natural attraction between the two. Of course, ordinary people who see the Supernatural Entity either fail to survive, or are lucky enough to survive but leave no name, so we cannot make arbitrary judgments based on this. Looking at your problem now, do you think that the figure may move again next time, or even come to your own location?" Chen Chuan said: "The student did imagine this result." Cheng Zitong said: "There is a simplest solution here, which is to directly abandon the Commission, because the Cinema Phantom Supernatural Entity seems to be fixed in a certain area. As long as you leave there, there will be basically no danger. At most, some people may get sick or have a bad Spirit for a period of time." "Teacher , if the student chooses to retreat, then this Supernatural Entity will always exist there, right?" "Yes, and it may be more dangerous than before." Chen Chuan looked up and said: "Then the student is not prepared to give up. Please teach me, teacher , are there any other ways?" Cheng Zitong smiled and said: "I knew you wouldn't. In fact, the simplest way is to close your eyes, because the most taboo thing here is to see the face of the Supernatural Entity. Avoiding this can avoid most of the danger, but considering the special circumstances, it is indeed not stable enough. There is one thing that can help you." He reached out and took the briefcase over, took out an ancient mirror from it that was covered in rust and almost invisible, and said: "This thing is also a relics after a certain Supernatural Entity was dealt with. Bring this over tonight and put it in the row behind you. Remember, it must be directly behind your own row." Chen Chuan took it and said, "Teacher , is that all I need to do?" Cheng Zitong said: "That's all you need to do. Although the teacher has not encountered your situation, but after studying Supernatural Entity for so many years, there are still a few ways to deal with it, otherwise I would not have let you take the Commission. But you need to know that it is difficult to say that there is no problem at all with this kind of thing, and it is not to say that there are no other solutions. You can pay attention to it yourself. Supernatural Entity has great harm to ordinary people, and they often lose their lives. The endurance of us Martial Artist is relatively better. The current one is not the most dangerous, so the teacher believes that you can solve it well." Chen Chuan nodded, "Thank you, teacher ." Cheng Zitong smiled and said, "Let's eat first." After Chen Chuan had dinner here, he returned to the dormitory and devoted himself to training again. At six o'clock in the evening, after preparing, he took his satchel and went out with a knife. The cinema's car arrived on time and took him to Lanxiang Cinema. Now he was familiar with the road, said hello to Manager Huang's assistant, and went directly to the theater seat. After arriving here, he first took off the satchel he was carrying and hung it outside the door, then took out the mirror from the inside, walked to the middle of the theater seat, opened the wooden support behind the mirror frame, and placed it right on the back seat. After doing this, he came to the front and sat down, and began to watch the movie. This place is indeed worthy of being the largest cinema in south of the city. There are many sources of films. Today, it has taken out many movies that he has not seen before. This time, it is showing foreign movies, which allows him to get a glimpse of the world in other places. As the movie played, the time gradually approached midnight. He didn't wear a watch this time, so he couldn't accurately observe the time, so he just waited silently. It seemed like a long time later, very abruptly, the big screen flickered, and he seemed to feel a chill. Almost at the same time, the fading sign on Second Self suddenly appeared. However, he did not see the figure, nor did it seem to be in the seat next to him. If the ancient mirror worked, the Supernatural Entity should be sitting behind him now. Chen Chuan looked at Second Self . The fading sign there had exceeded the range of the drug's effect. Even without using Xiqiao Breathing Technique, he could feel that the Mutated Tissue had become Anomaly active. Under this strong stimulation, it was driving the Mutated Tissue to grow and spread, even more intensely than last time. He was somewhat mentally prepared for this, so he closed his eyes and used the Breathing Technique taught by Professor He Xiaoxing to Guide it, so as not to let it expand recklessly. In this process, he also found that the fading sign not only did not weaken, but was gradually deepening. This sign shows that the Supernatural Entity seems to be gradually approaching him, and may even Merge with him in the end, but he remained unmoved and devoted himself to the Guide. It continued for a long time. At the moment when the time reached four o'clock in the morning, extremely abruptly, whether it was the fading sign on his body or the chill, all the abnormalities disappeared suddenly. Whether it was a coincidence or a malfunction, the movie playing on the big screen also came to an abrupt end. Chen Chuan waited for a while before slowly opening his eyes, stood up, reached out and groped for the flashlight placed next to him, turned it on, shook it twice, first went out, came to the row behind, and put away the ancient mirror. But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly realized something, took the flashlight and shone it twice again, reached out and groped for it, and took out an old photo covered in dust from the gap between the backrest and the seat cushion. He took the flashlight and shone it again. The photo was about two inches in size, and it seemed to be a woman inside. Because the photo was old and yellowed, the face was not clear. He could only vaguely see that she had a slender figure, thin hair hanging down to her ankles, and she seemed to be wearing an old opera costume. He thought for a while, put the thing away first, walked out of the inside, and said something to Manager Huang's assistant. The latter ran out quickly. After a while, Manager Huang ran over panting. He wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and said expectantly: "Mr. Chen?" Chen Chuan said to him: "Manager Huang, the matter has been resolved." Manager Huang was overjoyed, came up and shook his hand continuously, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you, Mr. Chen. You have helped us a lot." Chen Chuan said: "Manager Huang, you are being polite. I came here to deal with this matter." "I still want to thank you. We have found a lot of people before, but either they declined to come, or they had no solution. It's still up to Mr. Chen. He is indeed an expert. He solved the big problem with one move." Manager Huang was full of gratitude, "From now on, Mr. Chen will be a VIP of our Lanxiang Cinema. As long as Mr. Chen comes, we will definitely treat you with all our heart." At this time, Chen Chuan thought for a while, took out the old photo he had obtained and showed it to him, "Manager Huang, I have a question to ask. Can you recognize the person in this photo?" Manager Huang leaned over and looked at it, shook his head, but he seemed to remember something and said, "Mr. Chen, wait a minute, maybe someone recognizes it, but can I borrow the photo?" "Yes." Chen Chuan handed the photo over. Manager Huang asked the assistant to take good care of Chen Chuan here, and he ran out with the photo. After about ten minutes, he ran back panting. After he calmed down, he said: "Mr. Chen, I have found out that the person on this photo is wearing an old opera costume from the theater. It should be an old opera troupe actor." …… ……
