After Chen Chuan finished his invitation class, he attended a public lecture and then returned to his dormitory. As soon as he entered the lobby, the dormitory teacher said to him, "Chen classmate , a teacher from the Executive Office is looking for you." Chen Chuan looked over and saw a young teacher walking towards him. He first showed his name card and then said politely, "Hello, Chen classmate , I am He Mei from the Executive Office. You can call me Teacher He . I have something to discuss with you. Can we talk in your dormitory?" Chen Chuan said, "Of course." He and Teacher He took the elevator upstairs. After bringing him to the dormitory, he invited him to sit down and poured him a glass of water. Teacher He said, "Chen classmate , don't bother too much, let's sit down and talk." After Chen Chuan sat down, he said, "I'm here to see you this time because of Qiu Xin . The matter has been clarified, and the fault lies entirely with Qiu Xin ." Chen Chuan asked, "Is it because of Zhong Wu ?" Teacher He said, "Yes, Qiu Xin and Zhong Wu , who was Chen classmate's Examination student , have always had a good relationship. After learning about Zhong Wu's situation, he immediately resigned from his original position and returned to the school, working as an assistant for various invitation class teachers . He is usually quiet and hardworking, so the teachers don't reject him. However, he also admitted that the reason he returned to the school was to wait for an opportunity to attack you, because you would definitely attend the invitation class. He said that he would keep waiting for three years if necessary, so it was highly likely that this situation would occur." Chen Chuan admired this person's perseverance and determination. After thinking for a while, he said, "Qiu Xin's attack was very heavy. If I hadn't been prepared and something had really happened on the stage, his behavior wouldn't be excused as mere negligence. He himself shouldn't be able to escape." Teacher He said, "That's right, he himself admitted it. He said he had asked for help, but no one was willing to stand up for Zhong Wu , so he had to do it himself. He also said that since he chose to do this, he didn't care about the consequences, only regretting that he didn't achieve his goal in the end, but he paid the price for his actions." He paused and said, "The medical examination showed that his internal organs were overloaded, and he may have to lie in bed for the rest of his life. Considering his friendship with Zhong Wu , we arranged for the two of them to be together, which can be considered a humanitarian gesture." Chen Chuan said, "Is that so? Thank you for letting me know, teacher ." Teacher He smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's what we should do. Alright, I should go." With that, he stood up. Chen Chuan also stood up. Teacher He said, "Chen classmate , the tallest tree in the forest is sure to be felled by the wind. Be careful, but the more you are targeted, the more it shows your excellence. I look forward to your future performance, Chen classmate ." After saying that, he extended his hand and shook hands with Chen Chuan , then bid farewell and left. Chen Chuan thanked him again, and the teacher left. He then went to the training room and started his daily practice again. As night approached, Cheng Zitong returned and asked as soon as he entered, "I heard about what happened this afternoon. Are you alright?" Chen Chuan said, "Teacher , don't worry, since the student went, he was prepared." Cheng Zitong said, "I'm relieved in this regard. You have your own ideas. Besides, you have mastered the Strength Technique. When you don't have the ability, you can be conservative, but when you have the ability, you should solve the problem. There's no reason to leave the problem there." Chen Chuan said, "Teacher , that's what I think too." Cheng Zitong nodded and said, "I have already handled the Weapon Permit matter, but once you apply, examination tasks may be issued at any time. The content of the examination is still unknown. According to past situations, there will be one or more designated assignments, which may be in the local city or in other cities, so you must be prepared at any time. Try to consolidate yourself this month." Chen Chuan nodded and said, "The student knows that the Weapon Permit is very important." "Yes, it's good that you understand. You must find a way to get it, the sooner the better." Cheng Zitong reminded him again, then thought for a while, "By the way, there is another matter I want to discuss with you. Your training may require more practical combat and more Drugs, so the original rewards may not be enough. The teacher has some Assigned Missions here and is preparing to let you do them, also to accumulate your experience in doing assignments alone. I don't know if you are willing?" Chen Chuan said, "The student couldn't ask for more." Cheng Zitong seemed to be instantly invigorated and said, "In that case, I'll tell you about it. The selection of Assigned Missions is actually very important. If the level is too low, then the gold content is insufficient. Even if you are excellent every time, the various Commission parties will not think highly of you. Moreover, I dare say that there must be many students who want to take the Weapon Permit exam now. The high-level, well-paid assignments must be snatched up. This requires competing for connections and the energy behind you, but it is not worth it to compete for this, and there is no need to waste time on it. So, we don't have to flock together with them, but we can find another way." Chen Chuan asked, "What is the teacher's plan?" Cheng Zitong looked at him and asked, "Do you know about urban legends?" Chen Chuan was slightly surprised, then replied affirmatively, "I have heard of them. My uncle is from the Patrol Bureau and says that these urban legends often have traces of human involvement." Cheng Zitong nodded and said, "Your uncle is right. Most urban legends are indeed like that, but there are exceptions. The next Assigned Mission I will arrange for you is to solve a case involving an urban legend. Don't worry, the teacher has been studying this aspect for a long time and won't trick you. Just do as the teacher tells you and it will be fine." Chen Chuan said, "The student naturally trusts the teacher ." Cheng Zitong was very happy and said, "Wait a moment." He took out a stack of papers from his briefcase and pushed them in front of him, "The teacher has prepared them for you. This is the Data. Take a look first. The Commission party will be handled by the teacher . You just need to do the assignment well." Chen Chuan took it and flipped through it, feeling a slight movement in his heart, "Well Child? I seem to have heard of this urban legend when I was a child…" In fact, everyone who grew up in Yangzhi City has heard of the Well Child Supernatural Entity. According to legend, every year from October to November, after 9 p.m., as long as you pour half a bowl of soybeans and half a bowl of black beans into the well water, a beautiful child will emerge from the well. At that time, the well water will turn into wine. Adults don't feel anything when they drink this water, but children will fall into a coma for a whole day and the child very much like that, because they can skip class, but most children will forget about these two days when they wake up, but occasionally some children will become demented because of this. Some people have tried to solve this problem, but none have succeeded. In the end, adults can only restrain their children, but you can always hear about this kind of thing from time to time. He remembered that his predecessor had also tried it with a group of friends when he was a child, but besides wasting half a bowl of black beans and soybeans, they didn't see anything. As he flipped through the Data and read the detailed records, he realized that his approach was actually useless. The "Well Child" only appears in the old Chenghuang Temple area in the northern suburbs of the city, and it also appears according to a certain pattern. It always starts in October and appears in old wells in the northern part of the city that are at least 30 years old, according to a certain pattern. There is also a hand-drawn distribution map of the wells on the Data. From the activity curve above, it looks like it is moving with the groundwater, so if the well is not exactly on the passing route and the feeding location is not correct, you will definitely not encounter it. Below the Data is a paragraph written in red pen, stating that as long as you calculate the next possible well where the Well Child will appear, then a few minutes before 9 p.m., take a bucket of water from it, then pour half a bowl of soybeans and black beans into it, and the Well Child will climb up the well wall and run into the bucket by itself. Then, take it away and send it to the designated place. The Data has a detailed map showing the location of each old well in that area, with the corresponding dates marked below. With this, things are much simpler. Even if you can't determine it immediately, with a general range, you can find the correct target by constantly using the elimination method. Chen Chuan looked up and asked, "Teacher , did you organize this?" Cheng Zitong said, "Yes, teacher I usually like to study these things. The old man always scolds me for not doing my job properly, alas, what do you think?" Chen Chuan thought for a while and replied seriously, "I think it's quite good. These mysterious things give people many unknowns, and the feeling of exploring the unknown and pursuing answers is very wonderful." …… …… Sёarch* The Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
