Chapter 33: Pulling out Ten Thousands
Lu Shi immediately became alert.
There were no melee weapons around, so the opponent didn't have much fighting power.
But the whole thing was strange from beginning to end.
The other party did all this, but now suddenly comes forward to confess.
"Your name!" Lu Shi could only watch the other party warily at this moment, while the power of the Blood Calamity was ready to be activated at any time, and then began to conduct basic questioning.
"Wang Gou, nicknamed Wang Ba." The deliveryman looked at Lu Shi and didn't get any closer. Instead, he obediently revealed his name and even spilled the beans about things Lu Shi hadn't asked: "My ability is '80,000.' I can plan all sorts of things with 80,000 yuan in cash. Today, I'm conducting a simulated terror here."
"I plead guilty and accept punishment for conducting unauthorized simulated horror activities and disrupting the work of the Metaphysics Club!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Shi instantly found an answer to the questions that had been puzzling him.
Soon, Gao Mi and Wang Gou were brought back to the Metaphysics Society.
During this process, various clues came together, and some previously hidden mysteries surfaced.
The deliveryman, nicknamed "Turtle," was quickly identified.
While delivering food, he also worked as a "deliveryman" on a second-hand platform. The description said that for just 80,000 yuan, he could settle most things, no matter who he offended or what he did wrong. 80,000 yuan could solve everything!
This also involves the turtle's ability—"Pu Wan".
Eighty thousand dollars can buy a life, and eighty thousand dollars can also make everything "normal," and no one will excessively pursue the murderer and the deceased.
After Master Shi's death, the case was hastily closed, and various anomalies were covered up. Even the Metaphysics Society failed to receive the information in time. Captain Fu then speculated that some kind of gray-area mercenaries were helping the person behind the scenes.
It now appears that the turtle was this 'mercenary'.
Furthermore, if nothing unexpected happens, the weapon that killed Master Shi was taken away by a food delivery worker, who is probably also this bastard.
Clearly, Wang Ba is an accomplice of the mastermind behind the scenes.
During the subsequent interrogation, Wang Ba seemed both cooperative and uncooperative.
What makes him cooperative is that he is very open to any questions about himself, and he can even explain the details of his own metaphysical abilities clearly.
For example, if all he asks for is 80,000 yuan in cash, he can suppress a murder case.
After receiving the 80,000 yuan he gave them, the deceased's family members or the victims, although still resentful about the incident, would abide by the rules and not pursue the matter further.
Furthermore, the transaction involving 80,000 yuan will be considered "normal" and unlikely to attract the attention of others.
Even the tortoise revealed the full extent of its abilities, which were at the level of tens of thousands.
深度2、广度1、调度3、异化1、氛围2、错位2。
He was also a level three ability user.
Upon receiving this news, Captain Fu's expression turned rather grim.
Because once this news comes out, the other party will most likely not be severely punished.
This is also the strategy of the Metaphysics Society: to restrict metaphysics, but to treat those with metaphysical abilities as preferentially as possible.
The most unique aspect lies in the turtle's ability. Its ability manipulation has reached level three, giving it an extremely strong control over the degree of erosion. As a result, once an event is interfered with by its ability, it becomes virtually 'normal' and difficult for metaphysics to detect.
This type of ability is also the one most favored by the Metaphysics Society, as it can conceal anomalies and keep the metaphysics intact.
The more plausible metaphysics is, the more stable society becomes.
This bastard might not even get a serious punishment; he'll probably just get a minor reprimand and then be recruited to atone for his crimes.
That bastard figured out this point, which is why he chose to turn himself in.
However, Wang Ba claimed he didn't know who was behind the unusual weapon movements.
He usually delivers food and does errands, and has delivered so many things that even though he was the one who gave the sword, he doesn't know who he gave it to.
The two riots on Da Dong Street today were indeed a simulated terror by the turtles.
Whether it's staged child abduction on the street or a group of teenagers attacking others, these are extremely egregious social incidents. If he can quell the situation with 80,000, then his ability to influence public opinion and his ability to adapt to changing circumstances will be further enhanced.
Although it's difficult to reach level three, it will be closer to level three.
It can be said that Wang Ba has completely absolved himself of any involvement in the weapons incident.
It was as if he really was a wild metaphysical ability user who had accidentally come together with others, thus interfering with the metaphysical club's fishing plan.
"You think we can't find out just because you don't talk?" Captain Fu looked at Wang Ba sitting opposite him, who had a large reality stabilizer attached to his body, and his expression turned cold: "If we keep investigating your financial situation, we'll eventually find out your connection with the mastermind."
"If you don't speak up during this time, you will be implicated in all the mistakes he has made."
"Don't think that just because you have special abilities, you'll be safe and sound."
After saying this, Wang Ba's expression softened a bit.
He knew, of course, that what Captain Fu said was true.
However, he has the most information about this matter, and he also has the ability to provide it.
"I really don't know what weapon is malfunctioning." Wang Ba chose to fight to the bitter end.
Seeing that the turtle was unyielding, the interrogation was called off.
Meanwhile, the analysis department was also rapidly gathering intelligence on Wang Ba.
Wang Ba is thirty-eight years old this year, and when he was young, the public security was not very good.
He watched helplessly as his father was beaten to death, but in the end he only received 80,000 yuan in compensation, after which his father's death became insignificant.
In this man-made horrific event, he awakened his spiritual awareness and, due to the accumulation of victim elements, quickly came into contact with metaphysics.
Since then, Wang Ba has been living in the gray area for many years, gradually becoming a seasoned veteran, and his abilities have been upgraded from level one to level three.
"His abilities require a lot of cash, and he himself has always been very resistant to officialdom."
"He's been hiding it so well all along, but this time he's suddenly come out. There's probably only one possibility: he wants to retire."
At this point, Captain Fu seemed to grit his teeth: "And retirement means he's already made enough money."
"This is something we didn't expect. The mastermind behind this is probably very wealthy."
Normally, the wealthier a person is, the more likely they are to come into contact with metaphysics, but the less willing they are to step into the field of metaphysics.
After all, metaphysics is too dangerous. Once you are familiar with the intricacies of metaphysics, unless there are other hidden reasons, you will most likely not delve into the field of metaphysics.
Even if there were something that required metaphysics, they would simply pay someone to do it. Besides, many effects of metaphysics can be achieved with money.
This was something they hadn't anticipated.
However, with the acquisition of more clues this time, the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes can no longer be hidden.
The biggest problem now lies with Gao Mi.
The characteristics of the core offering on his body are very clear, but judging from the current situation, he has undoubtedly been abandoned.
So what exactly is the mastermind behind this?
