Chapter 49 Allowed to Take Off
However, the motorcycle was too heavy and not fast enough, so it shouldn't have been able to fly very far.
But Lu Shi quickly completed the operation at that moment.
A burst of crimson light erupted and struck a passerby in the distance.
Another splash of red landed on Lu Shi's motorcycle, which was seen as a potential danger to the passerby.
A pulling force was formed between the two.
At the same time, the red power spread, and the motorcycle seemed to lighten up instantly.
Mystical certification: Takeoff permitted!
The instant he took flight, Lu Shi averted the bloodshed, and the swerving car landed next to the passerby.
In this way, they forcibly extricated themselves from the chain of car accidents caused by 2256.
As Lu Shi left, the dump truck lost some kind of boost and crashed into a building on the street corner, no longer continuing its rampage.
Although the entire intersection was a mess, the absence of various catalysts made people more restrained.
At this moment, Lu Shi sensed that a great deal of fear was gathering.
This chain-reaction car accident terrified many drivers and pedestrians, and this fear left an indelible mark, splitting into two parts.
One went towards 2256, while the other flowed towards Lu Shi.
After all, the current chaos and fear are part of what will happen when we land.
Lu Shi felt the nourishment of this fear, and the mutation of his Blood Calamity extended a lot at this moment. Although it had not yet officially reached level one, some strange phenomena had appeared.
Without time to investigate further, Lu Shi quickly rushed out of the traffic.
A voice came through the earpiece; it was from the analysis department: "There was an outbreak of over 80 levels of erosion on Wenming Road just now. Where did you locate it?"
"It's 2256." Lu Shi was not surprised at all. If the Metaphysics Society didn't even have this kind of oversight capability, then there was no way they could manage the overall situation.
Lu Shi had lived in Changshi for over nine thousand days, but his spiritual sense remained dormant, and he almost felt like he was the only one who could do it. This shows that the Metaphysics Society had done a good job in the past.
At least various mystical events are a distance from ordinary people, and some people can't find them even if they try to find them.
The reason why Lu Shi and his group seemed to encounter so much metaphysics was entirely because after awakening their spiritual awareness, the entire city's metaphysics were laid bare before them.
With a total population of 380 million in Changshi, it's questionable whether there are even 380 people with metaphysical abilities and abnormal phenomena in the North and South districts.
It can be considered one in a million.
"After I dropped Gao Mi off at the guesthouse, I went to buy takeout," Lu Shi explained briefly, adding a complaint, "Have you guys still not located 2256 and taken care of him?"
"This thing hunts me down every now and then."
"Almost there, almost there..." Upon hearing these words, the people in the analysis department immediately felt a headache coming on, unsure of what to do.
Recently, the First Middle School has consumed a lot of manpower, material resources, and computing power. 2256 is currently only chasing Lu Shi alone, so its priority is naturally not high.
At the same time, the characteristics of 2256 are too complicated. As long as it is a trash can, it can change its position at will, and the principle behind this has not been discovered to this day.
The most unusual thing is that 2256 first lost control and gained the ability to summon dump trucks, and then inexplicably became stronger again. Even though the sacrifice Lu Shi, who was chosen by it, was never sacrificed, 2256's strength kept increasing.
Previously, the erosion level could only rise to a dozen or so, but it was only at the initial stage of level two. Now, it can raise the erosion level to over eighty, which is close to the limit of level two.
Furthermore, 2256 seems to have increased its dispatching capabilities. Unless it actually uses metaphysical abilities to summon vehicles, its erosion as an abnormal entity is already negligible.
They also had difficulty tracing the existence of 2256.
But at that moment, the tone from the analysis department changed, becoming calm and rational: "We've discovered Zhang Lifeng's trail. He's moving towards the outskirts, possibly heading to the steel mill!"
"I'm nearby," Lu Shi replied immediately upon hearing this. "I'll try to stop him!"
With that, Lu Shi turned the car around and headed towards the road leading to the steel plant.
"Be careful, don't get too close," Captain Fu's voice interrupted. "I'll be there shortly."
"Hmm." Lu Shi agreed verbally, but in his mind he was quickly thinking about the next plan.
To change the future, a key point is to understand why Zhou Jianye chose Xiao Chen as the core sacrifice.
Given the circumstances at the time, Zhang Lifeng had become a scapegoat.
A normal person would not think that a weapon's unusual movement could be controlled by multiple people through some method.
Although the case of unusual weapons incidents was not closed at the time, the level of scrutiny had been significantly reduced.
In other words, Zhou Jianye had ample time at that time to choose a less important sacrificial offering and then steadily carry out his plan.
But instead of doing that, he chose the most radical approach and directly selected members of the metaphysics society.
In hindsight, Xiao Chen was not a particularly perfect sacrifice.
Although he had received training in the metaphysics society and practiced weaponry.
But this doesn't mean he was particularly suited to cold weapons.
Based on this analysis, it is likely that Zhou Jianye did this largely because he was being pushed by someone behind the scenes.
"It's either a company, or the entity behind No. 1 Middle School."
"The latter is more likely. Judging from the information, the company is more interested in making money and wouldn't do something so irrational."
"Zhou Jianye was probably under some kind of 'limitation' and had no choice but to choose someone from the metaphysics society at that moment."
"Only in this way can we lure out the vice president."
"Since that's the case..." Lu Shi thought to himself, his expression began to change: "Then it seems that I also meet the requirements."
Lu Shi has been working at the Metaphysics Society for about six months, while Xiao Chen has been working there for a few months longer, almost a year now.
The two fighters were roughly equal in skill.
Xiao Chen practiced for longer, but he was more inclined towards infiltration and support, and didn't pay as much attention to these combat skills.
Lu Shi already had some basic skills, and he put even more effort into combat and martial arts training after joining the company.
Neither of them were martial arts geniuses, so they were about the same in comparison.
If that's the case, then if I perform well enough, will Zhou Jianye change his target and choose me instead?
Of course, there is another crucial point to accomplishing these things.
Xiao Chen infiltrated the steel plant, most likely exposed by someone from the company, since they were right next door. This made it much easier for Zhou Jianye to make a move and drag the company down with him.
If you want Zhou Jianye to change his target, you must demonstrate your advantages as a sacrifice.
For example—superb swordsmanship!
With a thought, Lu Shi sensed the danger in the distance.
A car not far away also slowed down and stopped on the side of the road. Zhang Lifeng got out of the car, opened the trunk, and saw that it was full of cold weapons.
