With several kowtows from that person, the flesh and blood on the stone plate gradually turned into a black, rotten substance, while wisps of white smoke appeared from the seven orifices of the Tanuki cat stone carving. The person raised his head, knowing it was working. As a famous cleaner, he didn't rely solely on force to solve problems like other Martial Artists. He had a Supernatural Entity bound by an ancient religion in his hands. This thing was more useful than face-to-face Martial Combat or firearms. The conditions for driving the Supernatural Entity were also simple: the ritual host being attacked by others. In the old times, the ritual master needed to go into battle personally, but with technological advancements, he didn't need to do that anymore. Because the human body's Biological Field is regarded as part of the body, he only needed to use energy field technology to make his energy field appear on the scene and create an atmosphere of Anomaly. Once the target made a move to drive away or attack, the conditions would be met. The process looked simple, but it wasn't that easy in reality. For example, as long as the Boundary Token was turned off, all effects would be useless. So he did three things. The first was to test and observe whether there was a Resonator behind the target. The fact proved that there was, so he had to interfere with and shield this Resonator in advance. The second was to have that Functional Disorder Syndrome patient make contact with the target. This was to place a strong energy field signal of his own on the Boundary Token at close range, so that the next time they met, he could remotely control it and prevent it from being turned off in a short period of time. With the groundwork laid by the first two steps, the third step could be carried out. According to Data, the target went to the Sea Realm Field one day every month. Because it was remote, there was only one fixed tram each day, and there were very few passengers, so he decided to act directly on the tram. In order to strengthen the Supernatural Entity's Strength and kill the target as soon as possible, he even sacrificed a part of his own internal organs and fragments of Mutated Tissue, and performed the ritual kowtow. At this time, someone from Boundary Token suddenly contacted him, and a rigid voice sounded: "You Xing, the client is asking when the Commission target can be resolved?" S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. You Xing said in a dry, hoarse voice: "Tell the client, soon." On the other side, when Chen Chuan walked out of the station, he suddenly noticed that the fading signs on his Second Self suddenly deepened and became more and more serious. In just a few steps, the Second Self became almost invisible, and even the Boundary Token could not be used. He had encountered many Supernatural Entities, but he had never seen one that invaded so violently in such a short period of time. However, since its transformation, the Second Self had undergone several growths, including the battle with Wei Wusheng and training that allowed him to feel clear progress. Now the Merge time had reached two days and four hours, so although it was being constantly eroded, it could still be maintained. He looked up at the Mysterious Palace Tower in front of him. Anomaly conditions were not allowed to enter the Academy. He believed that the Academy must have a way to solve this problem, but they might also take the opportunity to explore the situation on his body, so after thinking about it, he didn't go forward and turned to leave. He came to the Jinwei Beverage Shop where Instructor Wu had invited him to drink, found a place to sit down. The environment here was very retro, and it was drizzling outside. He listened to the piano music playing on the record player and watched the rain outside, creating a very nice atmosphere. He beckoned to the waiter, ordered a hot drink, and took a newspaper that was only available in the store, leaning back in his chair and slowly flipping through it. Now it was a matter of who could outlast whom. Inside the dim house, You Xing was constantly getting up and kneeling down heavily again, but slowly, he felt something was wrong, because he had not been waiting for the result. That meant the target was not dead. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Although Martial Artists had strong vitality and could persist for a long time, more than an hour had passed, and the other party was just a Wuyi Academy Student who had not yet reached the Third Limit. No matter what, he should have been swallowed by the Supernatural Entity. Was it because... he took medicine? He suddenly thought that according to the collected Data, this student seemed to have defeated a Third Limit Martial Artist by taking medicine. If he found something was wrong, it was possible to maintain himself by swallowing Drugs. Then... His eyes were fierce. He took a knife and cut open the already healed wound, took some fragments of Mutated Tissue and sprinkled them on the tray in front of the statue, and then kowtowed heavily again. With a crash, Chen Chuan changed a page of the newspaper in his hand. The newspapers provided by this beverage shop were very rich in content, with everything from gossip to anecdotes about big shots, as well as reviews of various clothing and drinks. It was definitely not boring to read. Although he didn't have a Boundary Token, he didn't feel bored. It was a rare moment of relaxation. Because this store was open all night, and the late night and early morning were actually the busiest times, he simply sat here all night. When it dawned, he found that the invasion was still continuing, but it had weakened a lot, and even the Boundary Token was gradually recovering, but he still couldn't contact anyone. Based on his past experience, he felt that this Supernatural Entity might not just disappear, but rather it was an intermission, and there might be situations in the future. This was the first Supernatural Entity he had encountered that was so difficult to deal with. It seemed that some preparations still needed to be made. After thinking about it, he got up to pay the bill, returned to the Mysterious Palace Tower while the abnormality was not so obvious, and found the last bit of ritual materials left over from last time in the dormitory. This was what he had deliberately left behind, which could set up the simplest binding ritual, but he had to find a suitable location. He thought about it. The place where Instructor Wu's old house was located was good, remote and undisturbed. After making a decision, he replaced the Boundary Token he was originally wearing with an old one, picked up his luggage bag and went out, heading straight to the tram station. Inside the dim house, You Xing's kowtowing had caused a depression to appear on the ground in front of him. He had been kowtowing here all night, but there was still no result. He began to feel a little bad, because this ritual had a defect that wasn't a defect, that was, there must be a sacrifice after the ritual started. If he couldn't kill the target using the ritual, then in the end it was very likely to fall on him, letting him become the sacrifice instead. What exactly was going on? He was extremely irritable, but before there was a result, he couldn't stop, because once he stopped, it would mean that he had given up. So while kowtowing, he was also trying to check the results, but the target seemed to have entered the Mysterious Palace Tower, and he couldn't break through the Biological Field there at all, so he could only continue. An hour later, Chen Chuan came to the wasteland. He picked a collapsed house that sheltered from the wind, drew a simple pattern on it, and then stood in the middle. After waiting for a while, it seemed that nothing unusual happened, but then he felt something and glanced at a piece of broken glass in the ruins. In the reflection of the broken glass, there was something that looked like a raccoon cat lying on his back. His eyes flashed, he reached out and grabbed it, and grabbed the thing. He slowly pulled it off his back. This thing seemed to be made of smoke. As he pulled, its four feet were still firmly grasping him, but with his forceful pulling, it finally seemed to reach the limit, suddenly scattered into a ball, and then disappeared without a trace. At the same moment, You Xing, who was kowtowing, suddenly let out a shrill scream. Claw marks appeared on his abdomen and back, the skin and flesh rolled up, and the bones and internal organs inside were exposed. He quickly crawled to the side and swallowed the Drugs he had prepared in advance. After a while, the wound gradually recovered, but his eyes revealed a sense of shock, anger, and fear. The ritual had failed. The reason he didn't die just now was not because the Supernatural Entity had let him go, but because it would wait for him to heal before coming to devour fresher flesh and blood, and then repeat it several times, unless he could kill the target. His expression was gloomy. Assuming that was the case, then he could only choose the most direct method. After Chen Chuan could no longer feel the invasion of the Supernatural Entity, he left the wasteland and contacted Wu Bei at the same time. Wu Bei also said that he had not been able to contact him since yesterday. At first, his energy field signal should have been intentionally interfered with, and later it seemed that there was a problem with his Boundary Token. Chen Chuan said: "It should be the Influence of Anomaly. I changed a Boundary Token. The previous one could not be turned off by itself. It seems that someone remotely tampered with it. Brother Wu, is this technically possible?" Wu Bei said: "It is generally not possible, unless there has been close-range... That's right!" He suddenly said, "That Mental Derangement patient! Yes, it must be him! If there is close-range energy field contact and the energy field strong signal is transmitted to your Boundary Token, Brother Chen, then it is possible, but this technology is very high and requires an expensive Field Entity as an auxiliary." Chen Chuan said: "So if there are these, it is possible?" Wu Bei replied: "If it were me, with these conditions, I could barely do it. If someone with higher skills, it should not be difficult." Chen Chuan nodded and said: "Brother Wu, you just said that the other party may have uploaded the energy field strong signal to my Boundary Token for Control. Since the other party left energy field traces, can you use this to find this person in reverse?" Wu Bei said: "If the strong signal traces have not been erased, it is technically no problem." The connection of energy field signals needs to be transmitted with the help of Boundary Points, and information will be left within a certain period of time. The workload of erasing all the traces on the path is very large, so the usual method is to eliminate the traces at the end point, which is equivalent to closing the door on the path, and then it cannot be found. Chen Chuan thought for a while and said, "It should still be there." Because his Boundary Token could not be used at the time, it was impossible for the other party to use this to do anything to him. Later, he returned to the Mysterious Palace Tower. No matter how good the technology was, it was impossible for the other party to directly bypass the energy field protection of the Mysterious Palace Tower to tamper with it. Wu Bei said: "If it is still there, then I will have a way to try to find it." Chen Chuan nodded and immediately rushed back to the Academy. Considering that bringing the Boundary Token out might be discovered and the traces erased, under Wu Bei's guidance, he put it in the box that previously packaged the Boundary Token. The special resin inside could isolate the energy field invasion. After the things were taken out, he did not go to Wu Bei's residence, but agreed to meet in a temporary garage. After he arrived first, Wu Bei also arrived a few minutes later. After the two met, they had a simple conversation. Wu Bei opened the box, quickly took the Boundary Token in his hand and checked it, and said with surprise: "The signal is still there!" He reached out and put his hand on the Boundary Token and said excitedly: "Let me find it and see where he is."
