Looking at the fallen sword, Lu Shi knew he would have to write another report that afternoon.
Captain Fu arrived faster than expected.
He frowned, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, hands on his hips, staring at the iron sword lying on the ground.
"Damn it, so many strange things have happened lately!" Captain Fu's brows were furrowed as if they could be squeezed into deep furrows, full of exhaustion.
Previously, Wang Zijian's school encountered an abnormal event with an erosion level of over 100.
The human head in the trash can that was being observed by the lander suddenly went berserk.
Abnormal fluctuations are now occurring even at the headquarters of the Metaphysics Society; it's an unprecedented and unusual event.
"When did Changshi become so chaotic?"
The entire metaphysics society has a large reality stabilizer that is always running, making it virtually impossible for ordinary or abnormal things to get close.
Any abnormal event that causes the stabilizer to malfunction is unlikely to be simple.
Regarding this matter, Lu Shi even saw several leaders who rarely show their faces.
As the first discoverers, Lu Shi and Wang Zijian were questioned and then asked to leave the gym, which was temporarily sealed off.
"Of course, it's more likely that someone is behind this," Lu Shi said to Wang Zijian after his afternoon workout was interrupted and he had to write another report.
"A prank?" Wang Zijian was still a little confused. Even if someone was playing a prank, it wouldn't be enough to make an unsharpened sword move. It wasn't some kind of prank.
"Have you ever heard of simulated horror?" Lu Shi asked, switching back into teaching mode for newcomers.
"It seems to be some kind of horror video?" Wang Zijian has watched quite a few videos and has a wide range of interests.
"Yes, it's also called analog signal terror. Some electrical appliances in the last century required analog signal input to broadcast content."
"So some people deliberately imitated the content of television in the last century, and mixed horror information into some news reports, TV programs and other everyday content, and used the sense of loss of control and unease brought about by the 'distortion' of the television signal to create fear videos."
"Some mockumentary-style horror films are actually using this principle."
"The same applies to metaphysics."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zijian immediately sat up straight, realizing that what followed might be the key to metaphysics.
"Human perception of the world is actually a process of collecting signals, and these signals constitute our cognition."
"Therefore, our perception is also 'distorted'."
"When the signals we receive from our senses, such as sight and hearing, are obviously abnormal and contradict common sense, some differentiated abnormal cognitions are formed, and the imprint of these abnormal cognitions will not easily disappear."
"Metaphysics is the use of these abnormal cognitive imprints to influence real natural phenomena."
"That's the purpose of all this mischief."
"Fear is the most primal and intense emotion of humankind."
"Intense fear can quickly form a strong cognitive imprint."
"Simulated horror is just a niche genre of horror videos in the video industry."
"But in the realm of metaphysics, it is a widely practiced metaphysical ritual."
"Isn't this just playing tricks?" Wang Zijian, with his nearly new brain, quickly grasped the key point.
"That's right, most metaphysics is indeed just charlatanry, but how to do it and how to do it is a science in itself."
"How to ensure the formation of cognitive imprints, and how to manipulate these cognitive imprints."
"And how to ensure that you don't actually turn into a ghost while pretending..."
At this point, Lu Shi repeated it again earnestly: "The first commandment of the Metaphysics Society—our world is a normal world, without any ghosts or ghosts."
At this point, the most crucial step in the Metaphysics Society's teaching has been completed: understanding metaphysics.
What I will teach next are actually some details of the work.
There's plenty of time for that later.
At 5:30, Lu Shi left work on time, carrying the small reality stabilizer he had just picked up from the warehouse—a small, button-shaped device—and boarded the bus home.
On the bus, Lu Shi's thoughts gradually drifted to the various events that had occurred that day.
He had lived for over nine thousand days, but encountered very few abnormal things.
However, during this period, abnormal events began to occur frequently.
Especially today, the anomalies have all appeared within the metaphysics society.
No one with a sound mind would provoke an official institution like this.
Unless the effects of these things have become somewhat out of control.
"Someone is planning a large-scale simulated terror operation in Changshi. Is the power of the ritual beginning to spread widely?" Lu Shi sensed the crisis in this matter.
It's a danger, but it's also an opportunity.
He will soon be officially employed and qualified to complete the metaphysical ritual.
However, since the Metaphysics Society is an organization with official backing and follows established procedures, Lu Shi's metaphysical rituals must be conducted under its guidance.
Xiao Chen was promoted to a permanent position almost two months earlier than Lu Shixian, but his ceremony is still not fully completed.
"I'll have to see if I can hitch a ride," Lu Shi thought to himself.
of course……
The indicator light on the button-shaped object was lit up and bounced back and forth between Lu Shi's fingers.
Then, with a flick of his finger, three time coins appeared in Lu Shi's hand.
"Today's base time-to-currency earnings +1."
"Today's extra Time Coin earnings +3."
Lu Shi dubbed his own voice, and these things were Lu Shi's extra gains today.
Time coins can only be obtained by drawing from time.
Normally, Lu Shi can only extract one or two Time Coins from Time each day.
However, once he encounters something abnormal, Lu Shi can be more ruthless by taking advantage of the other party's corrosive power, which is also a result of his learning in the metaphysics club.
The entire process is silent, and the degree of erosion it causes is extremely low.
The reality stabilizer in my hand and the erosion level on my watch are currently unchanged.
The simulated horror of a failed New Year's Eve celebration is Lu Shi's most crucial metaphysics.
After studying for this period of time, Lu Shi was basically able to make a decision.
When he was reborn into this world, the ritual he accidentally initiated—the simulated horror New Year's Eve—failed and was incomplete.
Furthermore, because she was soft-hearted at the time, she let her "father" go, resulting in insufficient imprinting of the ritual.
Therefore, Lu Shi, who exists simultaneously for more than nine thousand days, is subject to so many restrictions, as if he were trapped in shallow waters, or as if he were still in a cocoon.
If the ritual can be completed, then Lu Shi, this life form that spans the timeline, might be able to truly become a god.
"Of course, the greater possibility is that they will be squeezed to death by this normal world." Lu Shi twirled his finger and put away the three time coins.
Metaphysics must maintain a state of "as if it exists." It can pretend to be divine or ghostly, but it should not actually become divine or ghostly.
Otherwise, the degree of erosion will rise sharply, and when it reaches a certain point, the normal cognitive circle of the entire real world will crush all abnormalities.
The First Commandment is no joke.
Current Coin Reserves: Sufficient!
