Becoming an indescribable god after failing to ring in the new year.

Chapter 42 Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Zhou Jianye's whereabouts were not difficult to find.

In modern society, unless aided by metaphysics, it is not difficult for the authorities to find a person if they genuinely want to.

Zhou Jianye did initially intend to conceal the truth. He used deception, such as makeup and even a fake body, to mislead the investigators.

But his location was quickly pinpointed by someone who tracked his movements.

He never left the steel mill from beginning to end.

On the contrary, he also brought many people back to the steel mill.

Lu Shi rode his bike behind Captain Fu's car, pondering how to make a contribution this time and how to continue climbing the ranks in the metaphysics club.

From a pragmatic perspective, Xiao Chen's death might actually be a good thing.

His death made the already understaffed metaphysics society even more short-staffed.

Furthermore, this time, in order to "retaliate," the Metaphysics Society recalled a significant number of the members of the second and third teams who had been previously seconded.

While this may stabilize the authority of the Metaphysics Society, it will also increase the number of things the society needs to handle.

In this situation, opportunities will only increase.

Special approvals, similar to those on Prince Fitness, are also easier to obtain.

Furthermore, as long as he uses the pretext of avenging Xiao Chen, given the current state of public outrage, even some of his more radical simulated terrorist applications could be approved.

Lu Shi pondered these things.

What happens next is quite clear.

A group of metaphysical practitioners from the Metaphysics Society stormed into the steel mill and quickly brought the situation under control.

A large number of ordinary workers were "rescued".

And they quickly located Zhou Jianye's position.

He was in the weapons production workshop connected to the steel plant.

When Lu Shi stopped the car and approached the weapons workshop, the battle there was already nearing its end.

Lu Shi, a level one ability user, didn't even need to lift a finger in this battle.

A level three weapon anomaly is merely an anomaly of a cold weapon.

Even Captain Fu could take care of it by himself.

Now, with so many people with supernatural abilities acting simultaneously, and most of them being teammates, they have a general impression and understanding of each other's abilities. While they may not form a perfect combination, they can at least coordinate with each other to unleash combos.

"You piece of trash!" The first move was a mental attack.

As the profanity was uttered, Zhou Jianye felt a wave of dizziness. Before he could react, he felt his five senses being distorted.

The next moment, his body was pressed down heavily... He didn't know if he was on the ground or not, the sensation on his body was wrong, but logically speaking, he should indeed be on the ground now.

Zhou Jianye found all of this laughable. He had originally thought there would be a fight, but things had completely exceeded his expectations.

It's fair to say that TV dramas and movies are all lies. In real life, the scenes in those superhero movies where heroes face hordes of enemies and manage to fight them off are actually very rare.

Once the number of enemies increases, it makes sense for the plot to dictate the moment their position is exposed, with the enemy immediately subdued and controlled.

Although this situation was beyond expectations, his goal was achieved.

Lu Shi stood not far away and instinctively felt a vibration coming from his wrist.

Turning my head, I saw that the erosion rate was skyrocketing at an abnormally high speed.

Because many members of the metaphysics club were involved this time, the watch's detection mode was set to a specific mode.

Only abnormally high levels of erosion will be flagged.

"He wants to activate the erosion domain on his own!" someone shouted.

Zhou Jianye, pinned to the ground, wore a wide smile; this was his true purpose...

The next moment, a hand pressed down hard on Zhou Jianye's head.

The rapidly increasing erosion level suddenly dropped.

The vice president, whom we had met in the conference room before, suddenly appeared here and grabbed Zhou Jianye by the head, lifting him up.

Then, with a single punch, the air seemed to be torn apart in an instant.

Zhou Jianye's chest was ripped open, and the vice president's fist was plunged directly into his chest.

With the pulling, the lung filled with metal wire was directly pulled out.

However, Zhou Jianye, who had lost his lungs, seemed not to have died, remaining in this state of having his chest ruptured.

The vice president tossed Zhou Jianye aside and then tossed the lung in his hand to a member of the metaphysics club standing nearby.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, all the blood on it disappeared.

After straightening his Zhongshan suit and touching his slightly graying hair, the vice president looked around before turning his gaze back to Zhou Jianye: "What makes you think that, with the Metaphysics Club taking things seriously, you can still complete your so-called plan?"

Zhou Jianye, who had been thrown to the ground, was breathing heavily, and his lungs, which were being squeezed in someone's hand, were also expanding forcefully.

Zhou Jianye's eyes were vacant as he listened to the vice president's words, as if something had shattered inside him.

Suddenly, Zhou Jianye seemed to have thought of something. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but before he could speak, Lu Shi felt a huge sense of fear wash over him.

It was a massive source of danger, so massive that Lu Shi couldn't immediately pinpoint its location.

The vice president in the crowd changed his expression and quickly disappeared.

Zhou Jianye, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly burst into flames without a fire and turned into a cloud of black ash.

After that source of danger receded, Lu Shi keenly sensed that a familiar source of danger was rising on the other side of the southern district.

"No. 1 Middle School!" At this point, Lu Shi grasped the crux of the matter: this was a meticulously planned diversionary tactic.

From the very beginning, Zhou Jianye, Zhang Lifeng, and others were all distractions. They had their own purposes, but these purposes were exploited by the entity behind the previous source of danger.

That person just wanted to transfer the vice president.

As for Xiao Chen, he was nothing more than a pawn that was sacrificed at will.

This was all to prevent any suspicion from arising.

Seeing the ashes all over the ground, the members of the metaphysics club who were here were quickly mobilized and sent to the area around No. 1 Middle School to evacuate the crowd and deal with any possible abnormalities.

Large numbers of military and police personnel were deployed, and public officials were working everywhere.

At the same time, everyone in the area received a text message saying that radioactive material had been found in the area and that people should not approach it as they might be exposed to radiation.

And local television also interrupted the broadcast with breaking news at that moment.

Every news report warns the public, but when Lu Shi looks at the news on the big screen on the street corner, he can catch the key point: "radioactive materials".

This is fake news, but it can quickly arouse public reaction and discussion, thereby deepening the impression.

This is not a crisis management exercise, but a mystical ritual.

By using public perception, we can negate the abnormal aspects of the school.
