Chapter 53 Admonition
What happened next seemed to be pulled back by the inertia of time.
Lu Shi's mutation ability did not enhance his body. In contrast, Zhang Lifeng, the old man, was agile and fast because he had weapons hidden in his body. He quickly rushed into the steel plant.
At that moment, a Honda Fit pulled up in front of the steel plant; Captain Fu had arrived.
He opened the car door, his gaze falling on Lu Shi. Seeing only some scratches, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been extremely worried after hearing Lu Shi and Zhang Lifeng collide in his earpiece.
Lu Shi was, after all, just an ordinary employee who had just left the ranks of newcomers.
And what about Zhang Lifeng?
This is an old sword master who has practiced martial arts for sixty years, and his level of metaphysical ability is even higher than Lu Shi's.
In this situation, if Lu Shi is not discovered by the other party, it is not a big problem for him to harass them from a distance using the Bloodshed Disaster.
If they confront each other head-on, the most likely outcome is that Lu Shi will be killed by the opponent in two or three sword strikes.
Captain Fu never expected Lu Shi to be so bold. After arriving at the destination, he didn't slow down, carefully sneak in, or cooperate with the analysis department and logistics department to check the surveillance footage before proceeding slowly.
Instead, it charged straight at them.
"You're too reckless! Nothing is more important than your life!" Captain Fu said with a hint of exasperation before rushing into the steel mill.
Soon after, some sounds of collapse could be heard, and flames could be seen shooting into the sky.
Soon, the sound of collapse came, and by the time Lu Shi walked in, everything seemed to have returned to normal.
Zhang Lifeng's body lay in the workshop, while Zhou Jianye quelled the commotion and cleaned up the scene.
As soon as Lu Shi entered the workshop, Zhou Jianye's gaze naturally fell on Lu Shi.
His gaze was well concealed, a mixture of unfamiliarity and wariness, as if he were just an ordinary factory manager reacting to a stranger in an unexpected situation.
Upon seeing this, Lu Shi immediately showed his work permit, which had his name and work permit number on it.
Zhou Jianye examined the official travel permit carefully, as if he were afraid that Lu Shi's certificate was fake.
Once everything had been proven, Zhou Jianye coughed and apologized to Lu Shi.
If Lu Shi hadn't known beforehand that Zhou Jianye had problems, he might have thought Zhou Jianye was a responsible and good factory manager at this point.
But it is precisely because of this that we can see how terrifying Zhou Jianye is.
After Zhang Lifeng's death, the other party killed Xiao Chen and quickly completed the simulated terror.
According to subsequent investigations, Zhou Jianye contracted silicosis because of his job at the steel factory.
The illness tormented him to the point that he chose to take a risk and resort to the power of metaphysics to cure himself.
However, there are still many things that are unclear throughout the process.
For example, after completing the simulated horror, he clearly had enough time to escape, although he might not have been able to escape, but he didn't even make a move to run away.
He waited at the steel mill, and then took the initiative to touch the taboo of metaphysics - the Corrosion Domain.
This contradicts his initial idea of pursuing health.
Despite gaining health, he then deliberately committed suicide.
Some even suspect that Zhou Jianye was already under the control of metaphysics tonight.
But judging from the current situation, Zhou Jianye has probably been in a state of lucidity all along.
His only miscalculation was his insufficient understanding of the masters of metaphysics.
As a result, his final plan failed.
At this moment, Lu Shi had enough confidence. In his previous battle with Zhang Lifeng, he had already demonstrated enough 'value'. Zhou Jianye's seemingly normal performance had actually shown that he was changing his target for the core sacrifice to Lu Shi.
Around 3 a.m., Zhang Lifeng's body was transported back to the metaphysics society.
Lu Shi spotted Xiao Chen in the crowd.
At this moment, he was disguised as a normal employee of the steel factory, completely unaware that according to the normal timeline, he would die in a few hours.
Xiao Chen seemed to notice Lu Shi's gaze. He looked at Lu Shi, smiled and nodded, then composed himself, acting as if he were just an unrelated passerby.
His passive metaphysical ability allows him to impersonate anyone from any company without taking damage.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Jianye also had some cooperation with the company, Xiao Chen's infiltration work would actually be quite safe.
In the midst of a busy schedule, time always flies by.
As time went by, Lu Shi could feel that the erosion caused by the "failed New Year's Eve" had subsided slightly, but not by much.
"It will take at least ten days to half a month to return to normal. We used too many time coins this time."
Lu Shi also felt a headache at this moment. Activating the ability "Sunday Without God" cost more than 300 Time Coins.
Afterwards, in order to quickly improve his swordsmanship, Lu Shi spent even more time coins fighting Zhang Lifeng.
In this situation, Lu Shi's time currency reserves are becoming insufficient.
"But it's worth it." Lu Shi took a deep breath, as long as he could stop the schemes of the people behind No. 1 Middle School.
In that case, the problem wouldn't erupt so early, allowing me to take the fast track and quickly rise through the ranks based on my achievements.
Seeing that it was already 5:30, the time to leave work, and glancing at Captain Fu, who seemed a bit down because of company matters, Lu Shi still asked the question: "Captain, are you free tonight and we can go out for dinner together? Let's invite Xiao Chen and the others."
"next time……"
"It's decided then. Go call Xiao Chen later!" Lu Shi said with a smile before Captain Fu could reply, and then turned and left.
"Ah Shi!" Captain Fu called out, but Lu Shi did not stop.
Seeing this, Captain Fu smiled helplessly.
For some reason, I felt a little better.
His lifelong struggles were all related to the company. Whenever he obtained information about the company, his mind would become complicated, filled with all sorts of past memories, making it impossible for him to think normally.
However, Lu Shi's unusual behavior this time distracted him slightly.
Lu Shi is a very normal person, but most of the time, he doesn't get too caught up in his emotions. He always maintains a very restrained attitude towards his relationships with others.
Normally, when he mentions next time, Lu Shi won't say anything more.
But this time, Lu Shi was different.
He forcefully intervened in his emotions and arranged the dinner party for that evening.
"Is my emotion that obvious?" Captain Fu asked, a cigarette dangling from his lips, finally managing to suppress some of his emotions.
After his thoughts returned to normal, he thought about picking up Xiao Chen later.
As his thoughts continued to wander, Captain Fu seemed to realize something, so he narrowed his eyes and sensed that something was wrong.
