Chapter 75 Special Solutions
Chapter 75 Special Solutions
Lu Shi sat not far away, listening intently to the two men's conspiracy.
The process of simulating terror is being determined.
As things stand, Lu Xiao is already capable of reaping the rewards of those sacrificed.
He had already found his place once he became certain that his forehead was dark and when he felt fear after meeting Li Shi.
Using the fear of fate as a medium, and with the unfavorable year also playing a role in connecting them, it serves as a medium.
The next step is simply to transform it into a bloodbath. After his death, the associated fear imprints can be quickly absorbed through the medium, becoming a sacrifice to enhance his ability level.
After all, it's just a promotion from level one to level two, so it's relatively straightforward.
This is also an advantage of being backed by the Metaphysics Society.
For others, simulating horror is not so easy. They have to sneak around for fear of being discovered, and they need to prepare most things themselves.
We also need to be careful about insufficient capacity allocation, which could lead to the dissipation of capacity and thus automatically trigger abnormal events.
The simulated terror by Zhou Jianye and his group was just like that, triggering the weapons within the Metaphysics Society. If they could have concealed this anomaly and stalled for a while, although they might still have ended up being used as pawns, it wouldn't have been this tragic.
In addition, many things become much simpler when handled by the logistics department.
The reason why Lu Xiao's brow was black was because the Metaphysics Society had this technique.
The Metaphysics Society has many magicians and people with chemistry-related backgrounds.
There were even "spies" who could quietly manipulate Lu Xiao's eyebrows at night.
The time Lu Shi pressed on Li Yu's forehead earlier was when he applied some kind of medicine.
As long as Li Yu gets close to Lu Xiao, the medicine will evaporate, and the thing buried between Lu Xiao's eyebrows will react chemically with it and turn black.
It can be said that all of these things were accomplished under the arrangement of the logistics department.
If Li Shi hadn't possessed spiritual senses, Lu Shi wouldn't have needed any unfavorable year to complete the entire simulated horror.
It can be said that it was precisely because of this logistical support, coupled with the cooperation of two renowned local witch doctors, that Lu Xiao was able to be so easily convinced.
In comparison, Li Shi and Li Yu are still a little lacking.
It's not that they don't believe it, but rather that their fear is just a little lacking, and they still have enough confidence to turn the tables.
The next step is simple: gradually instill fear in them about the astrological concept of a darkened glabella through various means.
This would not require much help from the logistics department, and the unlucky year could assist in completing the task.
The more misfortune befell Li Shi and Li Yu, the more fear they developed of the darkening of their foreheads, and the more their minds focused on it.
Once it reaches a certain level, it can be considered a qualified sacrificial offering.
At that time, it can be sacrificed.
Extract the other person's fear in an instant.
"Is the other side ready?" Lu Shi asked Uncle He through an in-ear communicator.
"It's all ready. He's already started taking action. The 'surrounding three, missing one' plan is underway."
On the other hand, they were talking about the last "sacrifice," which was the donor.
Due to the donor's identity, Lu Shi and the logistics and analysis departments discussed for a long time before confirming the donor's simulated terror.
The analysis department offered a peculiar, mystical suggestion.
After thinking it over for a while, Lu Shi agreed.
In simulated horror, it is generally best to sacrifice the offering. Even if it is not sacrificed, the offering should be subjected to extreme fear, leaving a lifelong psychological scar.
However, metaphysical rituals do not all have to be accomplished through fear; other emotions that are extremely resolute can also be used.
In this context, another way of simulating horror emerged – the survivor.
Let those with strong willpower confront simulated terror, and in the process, find ways to break through it.
Once successful, the other party's emotions during the process, such as the joy of success and their high level of understanding of simulated terror, will also become factors in upgrading metaphysical abilities.
This method has one disadvantage and one advantage.
The downside is that after the opponent escapes the simulated terror, due to the cognitive imprint, their own metaphysical abilities will also be forced to leave corresponding "loopholes".
It's like a weapon anomaly. If this method is used, then if someone escapes the weapon anomaly's hunt by some means, then the method they used will become part of the mark.
For example, they could find an opportunity to splash black dog blood on Zhou Jianye, causing him to vomit from the disgust and lose control.
Just at this moment, your intense emotional fluctuations completed the mark needed for the other party's ability upgrade.
So afterwards, black dog blood became a 'limitation' on the movement of weapons. As long as black dog blood was splashed, whether it stained swords or people, the spread of mystical abilities would be slowed down.
If the person is stained with too much black dog blood, it may even temporarily cause them to lose their mystical abilities.
However, this method also has advantages. The overall ability scheduling will be greatly enhanced, which will increase the stability of the ability and allow the ability to avoid other 'defects' to a certain extent.
Just like the strategy of "surrounding three sides and leaving one open" in military tactics, once there is a gap, the besieged enemy will focus only on that one gap.
Simply put, all the so-called problems have been attributed to causes.
It's like having many worries on a normal day, but when you run out of money and start to go hungry, the only worry left is being hungry.
In this regard, after discussing it with Uncle He and others, Lu Shi felt that it was more advantageous to him.
The abilities associated with traditional fortune-telling and metaphysics, such as bloodshed, bad luck in the year, and darkening of the forehead, are not exactly top secret within the metaphysical community, though they may not be widely known.
At least that was the case in the previous battle with Zhou Jianye, where the opponent restricted Lu Shi's abilities by drawing talismans on his body and offering money as a way to avoid disaster.
If Captain Fu hadn't been investigating clues, he wouldn't have risked his life in the face of such a bloody disaster. After returning to the Metaphysics Society, with its resources, there were plenty of reliable methods to gradually unravel the unattended metaphysical abilities.
If that donor can truly find his own way to escape the simulated terror set up by Lu Shi and attribute its flaws to its causes.
That would actually be a good thing, as it would clear away many flaws in Lu Shi's metaphysical abilities.
Although a fatal flaw was left, the entire simulated horror was under the control of the Metaphysics Society. As long as the information about this fatal flaw was not leaked, it was as if it did not exist.
and……
Having leverage over someone will make the metaphysical society trust you more, and you'll receive more support in the future.
At the same time, if anyone really thinks that they can control themselves by exploiting loopholes, then Lu Shi will let them know what it means to be so ruthless.
After all, Lu Shi has never relied solely on the mystical ability of bloodshed.
