Chapter 27 Erosion Domain
The standee is an A-type GG standee with a metal frame and a blackboard-like interior, on which information such as "Today's Special Offer" is written in chalk.
The fallen street photographer and the fallen signboard formed an angle and then collided.
At that moment, the stand's feet happened to get stuck in a gap between the floor tiles.
The street photographer bumped into it, the signboard got stuck and didn't move, but you could see that the photographer's neck was twisted.
Then he collapsed limply to the ground.
On the rooftop above, several large air conditioning units were vibrating as they cooled the building, and a few potted plants belonging to someone were shifting slightly outward with the vibration.
However, the next moment, the red color on it was pulled away by Lu Shi.
The movement has stopped, and the flowerpots will no longer fall.
With a scream, the street photographer who had fallen to the ground twitched and woke up from his unconsciousness.
Blood trickled down his forehead. He slowly sat up and saw that the camera on his chest was broken from the fall.
As the street photographer gradually regained consciousness, he touched his broken temple, immediately stood up unsteadily, grabbed the woman, and shouted at her to pay him back.
That woman was not someone to be trifled with.
"You took pictures of me without my permission!"
"Rape!"
Ignoring the ensuing struggle between the two sides, Lu Shi turned around and got into the taxi he had hailed.
The reason I didn't finish the job wasn't because the street photographer didn't deserve such a thing, nor was it because I didn't want to implicate the innocent shop owner and the woman.
It was simply because Lu Shi didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
The dead and the living are on completely different levels.
Once someone dies, all sorts of investigations will begin, and Lu Shi will most likely be found out as well.
The Mystic Society has registered the ability of "Bloodshed".
Lu Shi only handed in the warrant for the conventional simulated terror today. Unless it's an emergency, he still can't use his metaphysical abilities.
But since no one died, the matter can be either a big deal or a small deal.
The metaphysics club generally doesn't take things too seriously. Even if they know it was Lu Shi who did it, they won't do anything. At most, the deputy captain will be notified and then give him a scolding.
Not to mention that no one died and there were no signs of corrosion at the scene, so the metaphysics society would basically not come to investigate.
With an idea in mind, Lu Shi sat in the taxi, pondering the changes brought about by his previous use of metaphysical abilities.
"There has been almost no improvement," Lu Shi thought.
His previous actions were not strictly speaking a simulation of terror, but rather a use of his abilities.
Because he neither informed the street photographer of the impending bloodshed in advance, nor did he instill any fear in them about the subject.
Whether it was the victimized street photographer or the woman involved, although they all had fear, it was only fear of the event itself, but their perception of the event was that it was an "accident".
Therefore, their fear was merely an emotion, not a lasting imprint, and thus not connected to the bloodshed and calamity that had befallen Lu Shi.
Therefore, Lu Shi's abilities were not enhanced in any way.
But this does not mean that what Lu Shi did was meaningless.
This time, when using metaphysical abilities, Lu Shi grasped the tightrope-walking aspect of metaphysical abilities in the normal world.
The degree of erosion is like that steel wire; the depth can make the steel wire wider, while the scheduling is the stable state of moving along this steel wire.
If the steel wire sways, the wind will pick up.
"So the Bloodshed Disaster ability was actually the right choice." Lu Shi thought that the advantage of the Bloodshed Disaster was that it borrowed the danger that already existed in the natural environment.
Therefore, to use the Bloodshed Disaster, one does not need to do any dangerous activities on the "wire," and most of the time, one can lie on it and wait for the ability to react on its own.
After using it once, I gained a deeper understanding of the scope of my abilities, the limitations of its use, and the risks involved.
If an emergency requires the immediate use of one's abilities, then they can be truly utilized.
Prior to this, the understanding of bloodshed and disaster was based on feelings, and feelings are the easiest to deceive.
You might feel that the stream isn't wide and you can jump across it easily, but in reality, people often overestimate their own abilities.
Therefore, acting on instinct will most likely result in falling into a stream and getting completely soaked.
All abilities need to be used repeatedly to figure out their limits.
At this moment, Lu Shi roughly knew where the boundary of his bloody calamity lay.
As the taxi drove through the city, the streetlights suddenly turned on, and the city lights began to twinkle.
In the distance, the setting sun still lingered. Lu Shi gazed at the city scenery, taking in the sights, yet everything appeared exceptionally blurry.
However, at that very moment, Lu Shi's spiritual sense detected the emergence of some enormous and terrifying source of danger, and then he quickly ducked back down.
The sensation spurred Lu Shi to turn his head sharply in the direction of the danger – No. 1 Middle School.
"That phone call from Li Yuqin." Lu Shi immediately realized the crux of the problem.
The abnormal events at No. 1 Middle School have occurred, which is the key reason why the metaphysics club in Changshi has been short-handed recently.
Wang Zijian is also most likely involved in this matter.
"I just don't know if someone is holding some kind of special simulated horror event, or if some abnormal event has escalated."
Lu Shi decided to look up some information when he had time.
He had only been with the company for a short time. Although he knew that breaking the first commandment in metaphysics would lead to disaster, he was still not quite sure what form the disaster would take.
The current situation...
Lu Shi took out his phone and shared his spiritual perception in the work group.
After a while, Captain Fu sent out a message.
"That's an erosion zone. Don't go near it. Ignore it. Someone will handle it."
And at this time, the location of No. 1 Middle School.
Several figures appeared on the rooftop of the school's teaching building, some squatting, some standing, and some leaning against the water tower wall.
"This erosion domain is about to become uncontrollable."
"I've never seen such a troublesome erosion domain before," one of the figures said calmly.
"We've only found one critical node so far, and with the rate of erosion continuing to increase, we don't have much time left."
"I've been trying my best to find it, and it's only been two days, right?" Another voice rang out. It was Li Yuqin, who was standing on the edge of the rooftop, looking down at the school.
"Hurry up, suppress it this time, but it might be harder next time."
"Most importantly, the college entrance exam is in a month, and summer vacation is in two months."
"This short-sighted approach, like drinking poison to quench thirst, may ultimately only cost the lives of these five thousand teachers and students."
"Hmm!" Li Yuqin nodded, her expression grave.
The abnormal things at Changshi No. 1 Middle School appeared at some unknown time, and by the time people discovered them, they had already grown to a terrifying extent.
It's fair to say that there aren't many places in the whole country similar to this.
Before you know it, this place has become a bomb planted in the city.
