Chapter 9 Human Blood Buns
"The application of metaphysical abilities will inevitably cause the imprint to erode reality; this is the origin of the degree of erosion."
"But if the 'scheduling' capability is sufficient, then its erosion direction will be completely directed in a specific direction, making it difficult for current instruments to detect."
As the two entered, the oppressive atmosphere quickly dissipated.
It's just a remnant of mystical atmosphere. If someone hadn't died here and the family members didn't come here often except for cleaning and tidying up, that lingering atmosphere would have dissipated long ago.
After hearing Captain Fu's explanation, Lu Shi nodded.
Regarding "dispatching", Lu Shi felt that his own dispatching ability was very strong, with all his power directed towards time, to the point that other people's spiritual senses could not detect any abnormal power.
As for the new term that appeared earlier, the six dimensions of metaphysics.
Lu Shi didn't rush to ask, but from the name, it can be seen that the six dimensions of metaphysics refer to the six attributes of metaphysical abilities.
Dispatch refers to the control of metaphysical forces.
Captain Fu came to the front of the frame, examined its structure and fixing method, and found that the frame was originally nailed to the sheet metal wall of the sunroom.
The frame itself is also structurally stable and secure.
It uses a steel structure and is quite spacious.
Even a person with little strength would find it difficult to pull this frame down.
If it were filled with cold weapons designed with swordsmanship, the weight would increase.
It could fall down and kill someone.
The problem is, how does it fall over with such weight and such a stable center of gravity?
"This cannot be achieved simply by controlling the weapon." Captain Fu touched the frame and applied a little force, but the entire frame did not budge.
"The ability has spread." Lu Shi immediately realized this.
Abnormal things have a very obvious characteristic: their abilities are enhanced when they encounter related elements.
For example, if a fire-elemental user encounters a hot environment with lots of flammable materials, or even a place with a lot of open flames, their ability will spread and their fire power will be greatly enhanced.
Even the rampage of the human head in the trash can can be seen as an example of the spread of abilities.
What was originally just a scary human head in a trash can can cause traffic lights to malfunction.
But in the end, it can 'summon' nearby dump trucks.
This clearly stems from the concept of 'transportation' and has spread to 'dump trucks'.
This might seem like an extension of the enemy's capabilities, but at this moment it has become a crucial clue.
"From cold weapons to steel frames, the person behind it clearly has capabilities related to steel."
This single piece of information greatly narrows down the range of who is behind the scenes.
Changshi is neither a large nor a small city. It has quite a few enthusiasts of cold weapons, and there are even fencing clubs and factories that make such handicrafts.
If we only consider cold weapons as one element, checking each one individually would cover too much ground.
But if we add steel-related components...
"A factory producing handicrafts of cold weapons!"
"This makes sense. Master Shi was killed because too many elements overlapped with the simulated terrifying power."
Lu Shi's gaze naturally fell on the steel materials from before.
Most steels are divided into two types: high manganese steel and high carbon steel.
On the wooden frame holding the steel, several words were painted: Changshi No. 1 Steel Plant.
In Lu Shi's memory, it was a very old steel plant, and due to environmental protection, occupational diseases, and geographical issues, the steel plant's steel production has declined in recent years, and industrial upgrading has not kept up.
It is already at risk of being shut down.
Lu Shi occasionally takes a walk in the neighborhood and can hear some steel factory workers chatting. They are all complaining that they might lose their jobs at any time and that it is so hard to find work now.
Make this information a memorization.
From now on, everything related to cold weapons and steel needs to be given special attention.
After the relevant information was reported through the work group, Sister Xu quickly received the information.
Changshi has several handicraft manufacturing plants.
These factories are generally small factories that produce some very cool-looking unsharpened swords and knives, which are sold through online stores and other related methods. They have very few physical stores in the city.
Those who like to customize cold weapons tend to choose well-known craftsmen like Master Shi, as the reputation of handcrafted items is quite appealing.
"These two are the key ones." Captain Fu looked at the information sent by Sister Xu and then selected two companies.
It is a subsidiary of Changshi No. 1 Steel Plant.
In recent years, in order to increase revenue and keep up with industrial upgrading, steel mills have also set up some small factories to produce these handicrafts.
The other one is a celebrity-owned online store called "Jue Shi Hao". This store has accounts on many video platforms and has a considerable number of followers.
Master Shi has a partnership with this online store, and many of the items in this sunroom workshop are currently sponsored by that online store.
Including that steel frame.
If you click on the video account of that online store, you can also find the obituary videos they have posted.
However, below the video is a shop link for "Master Shi's Handcrafted Rare Weapons".
"This is pure profiteering from human suffering!" Captain Fu frowned, feeling a growing sense of disgust towards the "Peerless Goodness" shop.
The people in this shop are either stupid or malicious.
At a time like this, labeling something as "out of print" would make anyone with a modicum of morality instinctively uncomfortable.
Clicking the link revealed that some of the weapons still seemed to have some red residue on them.
These weapons were all marked "Not for Sale" and priced at an exorbitant amount.
Later, a "passerby" in the comments section briefly mentioned Master Shi's story, and then someone posted a comment like, "Isn't this just a swordsmith sacrificing himself for his sword?"
In short, these people seem to care a lot about Master Shi's death, yet they don't really care that Master Shi is dead.
They were more interested in those weapons that possessed "spirit".
"Really? Those weapons are all on the shelves?" Lu Shi could tell the trickery at a glance.
They put up links but claimed the items weren't for sale, and then promoted in the comments section that the swordsmith sacrificed himself for the swords—essentially, they were just hyping up these swords.
Right now, in the shop's private chat, there are probably quite a few big bosses who believe in these things already making offers.
Never underestimate the curiosity of these people online, nor overestimate their moral standards.
The key point is that even if the police close the case, these items are still considered evidence or "relics." How did these shops manage to take them?
"Rules are rules, but that doesn't mean everything is done according to the rules," Captain Fu said with a sigh, turning off his phone screen.
As he spoke, Captain Fu arrived at the mourning hall in the front room, apologized, and explained that he needed to open the coffin to take a look.
Although the family members looked unhappy, they still agreed.
The moment the coffin was opened, a crimson aura suddenly spread out.
