FYN Chapter 45 That Touch of Red
Chapter 45 That Touch of Red
"A brand new car! It's so cool!" colleagues exclaimed as they passed by in the bike shed.
"Senior Brother Shi!" After a few casual words, Lu Shi encountered the listless Wang Zijian.
He didn't sleep well on Saturday and Sunday.
It might be related to what happened at No. 1 Middle School.
Wang Zijian then sought out Lu Shi to inquire about the simulated horror, and he obtained special permission to conduct simulated horror in advance to acquire metaphysical abilities.
After Lu Shi gave his instructions, it was 10:50.
Everything is the same as it was a week ago.
The inertia of time always exists.
Lu Shi merely detached himself from this time period as a time-based being, and then re-entered it.
It doesn't actually reset time for the entire world.
To forcibly change the timeline of the entire world is like trying to pull a high-speed train with human power.
Lu Shi, still a child, couldn't do it yet.
Around 11 o'clock, Lu Shi, who had just stepped out of the office building, answered the phone the moment it rang.
The voice that said "A fish has been caught on Da Dong Street" came through the headphones.
Lu Shi had just put on his helmet and replied "I understand" when the car sped away from the metaphysics club.
Dadong Street.
Gao Mi went to the collection room of Jue Shi Hao Zai as planned.
He needed to attract the attention of the metaphysics society to buy time for his teacher.
At the same time, he also wanted to try to make Zhou Jianye reveal a weakness.
The other party is the mastermind behind everything. The three of them signed a "contract" provided by the company. They can compete with each other, but they cannot voluntarily disclose each other's existence.
This contract includes three themes related to metaphysics: Zhou Jianye, Zhang Lifeng, and Master Shi, as well as their assistants.
Zhou Jianye's assistant was the deliveryman who called himself a turtle, and he was the teacher's assistant.
As for Master Shi... he was eliminated early on.
According to the teacher's plan, if he is controlled by the metaphysics society, then he needs to come here.
According to the information Zhang Lifeng gathered, Zhou Jianye's health was failing due to silicosis.
If he reveals any weakness, Zhou Jianye will very likely be unable to restrain himself from making a move.
As soon as Zhou Jianye makes a move, he will be exposed to the Xuanxue Society's eyes one step ahead.
At that time, Zhou Jianye died first, and Zhang Lifeng was fully capable of finding another sacrifice, offering him up, and then using his level three abilities to try to maintain his own state.
If you succeed, you can live a healthy life; if you fail, at worst you'll be crushed to death.
Gao Mi pondered all of this and went up to the second floor.
Then I heard a commotion outside, and I could vaguely hear things like "child snatching".
Knowing the time had come, Gao Mi took a deep breath and entered the collection room.
There were many shelves around him, displaying various medals and certificates, such as medals for 100,000 and 1 million followers on the Billy Billy platform, as well as some small metal knives, which were prizes he won in knife throwing competitions.
In addition, there are several huge storage boxes in the middle of the house, filled with items sent by fans.
This includes various journals, love letters, and local specialties.
Of course, there are also many unopened items. Unpacking fan packages and the "Don't Laugh Challenge" are delicacies that video bloggers have to try.
The moment Gao Mi stepped inside, his attention was drawn to the throwing knives.
If Zhou Jianye were to also kill, the danger posed by these throwing knives would escalate rapidly.
But this was exactly what he wanted, as Teacher Zhang Lifeng had already left a medium on him.
Through the medium, it is entirely possible to interfere with the same metaphysical abilities; one may be injured, but will not die.
On the contrary, Zhou Jianye would only be exposed if he stayed nearby, and would be caught red-handed by the members of the metaphysics society who arrived later.
As his thoughts shifted, Gao Mi saw the throwing knives tremble.
In the blink of an eye, the throwing knives had vanished without a trace.
Although he had long known about the existence of metaphysics through his master, he still couldn't help but feel fear when he actually saw something that defied reality.
Knowing is sometimes a form of fear.
When you know nothing, some things and phenomena are perceived as part of daily life, and thus ignored or disregarded.
Once you recognize the abnormality in it, it becomes very difficult to ignore it when you encounter it again.
Those things will hold your attention, and even if they are normal now, you can't help but overthink whether they will suddenly become dangerous.
Gao Mi was in this state at the moment. He knew of the existence of metaphysics and even knew that he would inevitably be attacked by it.
The sudden disappearance of the throwing knife confirmed this, and he felt his heart skip a beat.
The next moment, the sound of something cutting through the air was already flying towards him.
Not far from Da Dong Street, Lu Shi stopped his motorcycle, and heard the words he had heard before.
Captain Fu has already appeared at that location on the second floor.
A flash of flame appeared, and a foot kicked the door, sending it flying open.
Then they saw the flying knives in the air, and Gao Mi shouting for help as she dodged the knives.
Through the window, Captain Fu could see Lu Shi searching for the mastermind along Da Dong Street.
The flame in his hand flashed by, and his body was propelled forward. He clenched his fists and clapped his hands, and flames burst forth from his fists and feet. After a few moves, the throwing knives began to deform, gradually losing their 'weapon' shape. The weapon's movement greatly reduced his control over them.
"This intensity..." Captain Fu instinctively sensed something was wrong.
While this level of throwing knife meets the strength of a level two ability, it's not enough.
The strength of abilities of the same level is not constant.
As the ability is used repeatedly in a way that simulates terror in a conventional manner, its strength will gradually reach the upper limit of the corresponding level.
For those with metaphysical abilities to advance, the only hard requirement is to perform a corresponding simulated terrifying ritual.
Even those who have just been promoted to level two can directly hold a ceremony to advance to level three.
However, most people with metaphysical abilities will only seek to advance to the next level after raising their abilities to the limit of the corresponding level.
The previous situation of the mastermind also fits; his simulated terror affected most of the Southern District, and its scope definitely reached the limit of level two.
And if it can support this breadth, the depth won't be too bad either.
Judging from these throwing knives alone, his strength is more like that of a newly-entered level two ability user.
At this moment, not far from Dadong Street, Wang Ba, who was watching the surveillance footage obtained by Ba Wan on his mobile phone, was preparing to get up, get on his delivery car, and turn himself in.
Then they realized that things seemed to be getting out of hand.
In the second-floor room, Gao Mi vaguely sensed something suddenly entering his body.
Captain Fu frowned as he retracted the flames, still pondering the issue of the incorrect intensity.
An unopened package locker in the center of the room suddenly exploded.
A faint red hue, almost imperceptible, quickly spread throughout the room with the explosion.
