Chapter 32 Sudden Event
After discussing his metaphysical rituals with Wang Zijian, Lu Shi began to focus on his own affairs.
Just now, he saw Sister Xu's message in the group chat.
Sister Xu has something to do today, but the notification from the review department has already arrived.
His approval has been granted, and from today onwards, he can use conventional simulated terror.
Of course, along with the approval document came a restraining order.
Lu Shi is able to use simulated terror, and he can also use his own abilities at will.
However, there are corresponding limitations: bloodshed can only injure people, not kill them.
The damage to the surrounding environment should not be too great.
If someone really wants to kill someone, then they need to provide a supplementary explanation of the situation afterward, explaining the necessity of the killing.
For example, you have already warned the other party that there is a strict 'enforcement' tier.
There are also some implicit interpretations, such as the idea that in daily simulated horror, the best offerings should be those representing socially unstable factors.
For example, the street photographer I encountered yesterday was like that.
To a certain extent, metaphysicians are granted "enforcement power" and certain exemptions.
This is a sign of 'respect' for the humanoid metaphysical bomb.
Lu Shi stood up, preparing to go to the library to browse through books and learn about the Reality Stabilizer and the Erosion Domain that the captain had mentioned that day.
His phone, which he had kept in his pocket, started ringing shrilly.
The moment he heard the bell, Lu Shi rushed toward the entrance of the Metaphysics Society.
As he ran, he took out his phone and answered the call.
Upon hearing the words "A fish has been caught on Da Dong Street!", Lu Shi immediately knew what was going on.
The ringtone was specially set up for emergency missions, and he currently only had one emergency mission on his hands—Gao Mi.
The fish in Dadong Street means that Gao Mi was being targeted on Dadong Street.
The two constables following behind him were being transferred away through various means.
Lu Shi took out his headphones and logged into the channel provided by the group, then hopped on his 500RR and launched himself toward Dadong Street.
It's not far from Dadong Street; it only takes six or seven minutes to get there.
They sped along the road and soon arrived at their destination.
During those few minutes in the car, staff from the analysis department relayed intelligence to me through my earpiece.
"A child abduction incident occurred on Dadong Street. Someone snatched a child in the street and fled into an alley. One of the people was distracted."
"Then another person was targeted by a group of underage thugs and was ambushed and knocked unconscious."
At this point, it becomes very difficult for the mastermind to remain hidden.
Both of these cases involve real people, and the trafficking incidents exploited public officials' sympathy for children.
As for the attack on the other official, that was a terrifying thing for the young upstart.
Someone may have given them money, or maybe they didn't even receive any money, but just a few words from someone they knew, and then they were emboldened by things like loyalty and saving face, and that's when they dared to attack people directly.
These methods are indeed ingenious, but they inevitably leave traces.
Many things are difficult to investigate from a metaphysical perspective, but once practical matters are involved, the matter becomes much easier to investigate.
For example, those few young punks have already been arrested.
No matter how many times the deal has changed hands, if the other party uses real-world methods, they will inevitably be implicated.
In addition, the person involved in the "human trafficking" was also arrested.
Even the confessions have been released; the person who arrested the girl was an actor from an online celebrity studio, and the little girl was an "online celebrity."
This was actually a staged photo shoot.
"As for Gao Mi, he's on the second floor of the building to your right."
After receiving accurate information, Lu Shi did not rush into the building.
"That person's breadth of knowledge is already at level two, approaching level three."
"But killing the core sacrifice would mean he couldn't have been too far away; he should be somewhere around Da Dong Street."
"Even the opponent can't finish the battle quickly; he has to instill enough fear in the core sacrifice."
Simulating terror requires the absorption of fear perception. If it's just a regular sacrifice, the fear can be absorbed all at once through the ability.
However, this doesn't work with core offerings. It's necessary to repeatedly manipulate the fear emotions of core offerings. If the distance is too great, then it becomes extremely difficult to cultivate cognition.
Unless the other party's spiritual senses are strong enough to cover such a wide distance.
But individuals who have reached this level wouldn't only now be planning to advance from level two to level three.
Lu Shi's spiritual senses detected the dangers around him, and he gradually prepared for battle.
The ability "Bloodshed" requires strategic planning to unleash its full combat potential.
After all, his ability is only at level one in a strict sense.
Although this kind of mystical ability that utilizes external forces is considered top-tier in the current version, it also has a weakness: it is slow to activate and dependent on the environment.
If it's in the wilderness, then the power of the Bloodshed Disaster might actually be less than most level one metaphysical abilities.
After making preparations, Lu Shi began searching the surrounding area around Gao Mi's location.
Catching the mastermind behind everything is the key.
As for Gao Mi...
"I'm here!" Captain Fu was still as reassuring as ever.
Just then, the sound of ping-pong balls came from the building where Gao Mi was, along with someone shouting for help and flames that seemed to be coming out of the window.
Lu Shi focused his attention on the surrounding spiritual fluctuations.
The mastermind behind the scenes, being a level two ability user and operating in an adversarial situation, inevitably represents immense 'danger'.
As long as the other party is within one's spiritual perception range, one will definitely be able to sense them.
To Lu Shi's surprise, even after he had almost walked around Da Dong Street, he still couldn't detect any other sources of danger posed by other ability users.
"Could this just be a test?" Lu Shi wondered, "But that doesn't seem right."
Given the capabilities of the Metaphysics Society, it's only a matter of time before they are tracked down after the other party resorts to real-world methods. Useless probing only exposes themselves and serves no purpose.
"It's just a normal weapon malfunction. Several 'throwing knives' here flew up on their own and shot at Gao Mi several times..." Just then, Captain Fu's words came through the earpiece.
"Gao Mi suffered a minor injury, but he's fine!"
"The force of those throwing knives is not right."
At this point, everyone realized that something was wrong.
This time, the metaphysics club's fishing attempt seemed to have yielded something, but no real fish appeared.
It was at this moment that Lu Shi sensed the presence of the source of danger.
Then an electric scooter stopped not far from him.
The person in the car was a very common deliveryman dressed in a yellow robe.
He raised his hands and came to Lu Shi.
"From the Metaphysics Club? I'm turning myself in!"
"I started this riot!"
