The New Year passes very quickly, and more than half of it seems to have passed in just a blink of an eye. However, when walking on the street, the Spring Festival couplets on the door and the banner lanterns that have not been taken off still retain a lot of the atmosphere of the New Year.

Chen Chuan drove a car to the old house alone that day, cleaned the inside and outside, put a few cans of new tea in, then made a cup and went to the corridor under the eaves, looking at the stream and woods in front of him,

Drink slowly under the warm sunshine.

In the past few days, some memories have surfaced again, and this time there is a scene of the Chinese New Year, where my mother, my aunt and my aunt are together.

This aunt was more than ten years older than the two sisters, and they later married out of town. He had met him a few times when he was a child, but he hadn't come back for a long time. It seemed that the aunt had a military background. Later, Nian Qian was able to go to the military academy.

My aunt's family contributed a lot.

All these memories were from the festival and New Year period, and were closely related to what he knew and felt at the moment, and unsurprisingly, most of them were from the early period. Only the ones related to the brown-haired woman were slightly later on the timeline.

This person should be a relatively key figure, and may be involved in the whereabouts of his parents and even the cause of his predecessor's death.

But now he doesn't think too much, he will always know what he needs to know.

After all, these are things in the past and do not affect him now.

But there are some things in front of you that need to be paid attention to.

Ni Qianqian paid more attention to what she told him before he returned to Yangzhi. After all, if you don't know the real purpose of the Ferris Wheel Company, you can't just assume that the other party fails once and then let it go.

He had thought earlier that if the other party refused to give up, he would have an excellent opportunity to strike on his way back, so he had to take some precautions when returning to Central City this time.

After staying at the old house until noon, he packed up his things and drove back home. In the afternoon, his cousins ​​and Chao Ming were chasing and playing around, while he was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a book when the phone suddenly rang.

, he stepped forward to pick it up and said, "I am Chen Chuan."

Ren Xiaotian's voice sounded in the conversation: "Junior brother, I have found the person you want."

Chen Chuan asked about the location and said, "Okay, I'll be right over." He spoke to his aunt who was collecting shoe soles in the yard, then went out and drove out of the city.

Because he was not sure whether he would be in danger, he needed to prepare some sacrifices for his civet cat stone tablet. Nowadays, such wanted criminals are almost impossible to find in the city. They can only find them from outside the city. He simply entrusted them to Ren Xiaotian

After all, this person is very familiar with the situation outside the city and in the wasteland.

Moreover, this person works steadily and reliably, and is not afraid of any problems.

After leaving the city, even if he drove out of a certain area, some patrol cars could still be seen driving from time to time in the outer city area that had been almost left alone in the past. It seemed that the customs bureau had indeed stepped up security inspections.

Guan Ju is a person with a great sense of justice, and it seems that he has done better since he came to power. But whether he can actually do well sometimes does not entirely depend on this, but also depends on the external environment.

If Molan Company, the biggest cancer, had not been dug out, no matter how hard the government tried, it would be useless.

There was also the construction of the large railway in the north, which employed a large number of manpower, a considerable part of which was found from Jiaoshan. According to Lu Ke, many people from the village went there.

In addition, in order to prevent problems with the railway construction, Yuan'an Company also dispatched armed convoys to patrol there, which eliminated bandits from that direction.

He drove all the way towards Jiaoshan. As he went outside, the wind and sand became heavier and heavier. The sky turned gray, there was a crackling sound on the car windows, and the entire car was covered with a layer of yellow sand.

More than an hour later, he saw Ren Xiaotian's car parked there. He slowed down the speed of the car, slowly approached it, stopped on the edge, and got off the car.

Seeing him arriving, Ren Xiaotian also got out of the car, went to the trunk, and lifted someone out from inside.

"He is the wanted criminal of the patrol bureau, kidnapping, robbery, human trafficking, smuggling of arms and illegal drugs, and anything committed by armed gangs."

The man, who was wilting at first, seemed to realize that something was wrong, and immediately began to save himself, shouting:

"Brothers, can you let me go? I have money and I will give it to you. I also know where the boss hides medicine. I can take you there. What use am I alone? The boss and my brothers have so much money."

The bounty is huge."

Chen Chuan didn't talk nonsense to him, took the person from Ren Xiaotian's hand, carried him to the side of his car, and threw the civet cat talisman on the person using the obstruction of the car body.

As the shadow of a civet cat appeared and burrowed into the gangster's body, the man immediately let out a shrill scream.

However, the sound only lasted for a while, then became fainter. After another minute or two, it was completely silent, and the whole person had turned into a mummy.

Chen Chuan looked up at this time and saw a pothole not far ahead. Ren Xiaotian had even dug the hole. He walked over and threw the gangster's body into it. The wind and sand here were so strong that it would be destroyed in a while.

Once it’s filled, even the effort of burying it is saved.

After returning, he said to Ren Xiaotian who was waiting aside: "Senior brother, thank you."

Ren Xiaotian said: "It's nothing."

Chen Chuan took advantage of the wind and sand blocked by the car and said, "Senior brother, are you still planning to take over the commission here?" Ren Xiaotian didn't say much during the dinner, and he didn't know if he had the same plan as the others.

Ren Xiaotian said: "I will go to Central City." He thought for a while and said: "There have indeed been a lot fewer acquaintances this year. The smuggling business in the wasteland has decreased, and there will be fewer and fewer people. I think I should leave as soon as possible.

"

Chen Chuan smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Senior brother, you must look for me first when you get to Central City."

Ren Xiaotian looked at it, stretched out his hand somewhat unaccustomedly, and shook his hand.

"Yes."

Time flies by very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it’s late January.

Chen Chuan is already making preparations to return to Central City. This time when he goes back, he will take Wei Dong and Wu Han with him, while the others have some things to deal with and need to arrive later, which may require

Have to wait until February or March.

Director Lei also had to leave a few days in advance, so the two of them happened to be traveling together. Of course, he was not the only one heading to Central City to take up his post, and the Esoteric Cult Examination Bureau would send personnel to escort him.

As for Senior Sister He and Xiao Ying, they will pick him up together after he is settled.

Director Lei was more cautious about this appointment. Before that, he even called Chen Chuan to invite him over.

"Some people may not want to see me go to Central City, so I need to take some precautions. Student Chen, I am going to make some arrangements at your place. Do you agree?"

Chen Chuan did not hesitate and said: "Lei Bureau, what should we do?"

Director Lei took out a stack of membrane-like things, "This is the bureau's special bionic skin. The ritual patterns you saw tattooed on our bodies before were made with the help of these things."

He rolled up his sleeves, took out a piece and put it on his arm. It looked almost the same as the original skin.

"The pattern of this membrane can be drawn in advance. After use, you can tear it off and replace it with another one. It is very convenient. I have prepared some for you this time. After attaching it to your body, you only need to connect the reserved rituals, like this...

"

He clenched his fist, and the ritual pattern suddenly flashed with fluorescent light, "The ritual can be activated."

He added: "Of course, it is up to you to choose the node at which this ritual is initiated, so you choose to use a method that you think is convenient, and there is no need to copy it.

In addition to these, there are also clothes..."

He asked He Nan to bring over a blouse and handed it to Chen Chuan, "This is a special garment made by the bureau. It is very tough. The interior is connected with special silk threads. It is arranged in a ritual pattern. Even if the surface is damaged, it will still be damaged."

It won’t affect the effect of the ceremony too much.”

Chen Chuan took it and nodded. The last time he dealt with the Viper Group, he had borrowed the secret ritual. It was very useful in conjunction with the attack. It also played a certain role in killing Xu Xianwen in the end.

However, he has a question. The use of esoteric rituals seems to be very mature, but it is rarely used by fighters. Is this because of the ban above or other reasons?

After he raised this issue, Director Lei said in a deep voice: "This is mainly due to the ban. Although the two can play a greater role when combined, they may also produce more terrible consequences. This is true in the history of the old era.

There are lessons learned.

In fact, if you hadn't been born with the ability to fight against strange substances, I wouldn't have let you continue to be exposed to these things.

And according to what I have learned, some rituals can be affected and suppressed by some powerful biological fields, including some who are powerful themselves.

However, these are all small-scale rituals. Stronger rituals are different. They usually take several years or even more than ten years to prepare, and cannot be easily broken.

These rituals are now sealed and are not allowed to be studied, because anything involving these will involve thousands of lives."

Chen Chuan clearly understood that in the old days, every imperial family in the world had a state religion.

What exactly these esoteric religions are used for, although countries around the world have not publicly said it now for the purpose of covering up the existence of esoteric religions, but from the situations he has been exposed to and seen before, he knows that it is definitely not a good thing.

In particular, some rituals have the benefits of increasing lifespan and vitality, as well as consolidating their own rule. How could those rulers resist using them?

He shook his head and put these things aside for the time being. After thinking for a while, he took the membranes and began to carve the ritual patterns he needed on them.
