Chapter 43 The Soaring Time Coins
Lu Shi spends all his time doing odd jobs.
The situation at No. 1 Middle School remained a secret to him, and he was not allowed to approach the school.
Everything happened so fast that he was still considered "worthless" by the metaphysics society, so he was unable to participate in these important matters.
He didn't know what had happened at No. 1 Middle School, only that the situation there seemed to have been brought under control that night.
However, all the teachers and students who were still at the school were transferred to a hospital for temporary observation and required to undergo a full-body examination.
Parents cannot contact them for the time being.
Currently, only a list has been provided, and the list is not long, only listing the names of a dozen or so students.
And ask the parents of these students to come over.
Lu Shi's job at this time was to work with other public officials to temporarily receive these parents and ensure that they did not become too emotional.
Holding the list, Lu Shi paused, noticing Lu Yaoyao's name on it.
Lu Shi soon met his adoptive father and mother.
They drove here.
My mother's legs went weak when she got off the bus, and she almost fell.
Although Lu Bangyan calmed down somewhat, there was an indescribable fear in his eyes.
He helped his mother walk over, said Lu Yaoyao's name, and was eager to know about his daughter's situation.
At this moment, Lu Shi could feel a kind of shared fear.
These marks are the fear of the pain of losing a child.
However, for some reason, this fear actually amplified the failure to celebrate the New Year.
Lu Shi paused for a moment, then produced the official statement provided by the Metaphysics Society: "Your daughter was exposed to a radiation source at close range. Although she is not in immediate danger, she is still in considerable danger."
"..." Lu Shi was talking when he realized that he was getting a little distracted.
"Sorry, I have other things to attend to. You can fill out the form there, and we will contact you by phone if there are any further updates."
After dealing with Lu Bangyan and his wife, Lu Shi headed towards the restroom.
The cold water hitting his face brought Lu Shi back to his senses.
Leave work on time, eat on time, sleep on time, get up on time, and go to work on time.
The matter at No. 1 Middle School has been temporarily resolved, but Captain Fu seems to have become very busy.
Lu Shi was handling some trivial matters for the metaphysics society with Wang Zijian, and Sister Xu was rarely seen.
Wang Zijian also seemed to fall silent again, and stopped communicating with Lu Shi except for work-related matters.
Lu Shi could sense that Wang Zijian had something to say about his indifference.
But let him be.
Friday evening arrived quickly.
When the time came, Lu Shi prepared to leave work on time.
As Lu Shi walked out of the office building, he stopped in his tracks.
Under that big banyan tree, two people, one big and one small, were standing there.
Upon seeing Lu Shi emerge, the younger one had already run over.
"Uncle Lu, I've come to see my dad. He hasn't been home for several days." Little Orange ran over, her little braids slightly crooked.
At this moment, Lu Shi suddenly didn't know what to say.
Xiao Chen's body is still in the underground morgue not far away.
Only after the records of any unusual weapon movements are completely completed during this period can the remains be cremated and returned to the family.
Lu Shi simply picked up Xiao Chengzi and looked at Aunt Chen standing under the banyan tree.
She forced a smile onto her face, but tears welled up in her eyes.
Lu Shi nodded to her, then carried Xiao Chengzi and walked towards her.
She quickly wiped her eyes, sniffed, and tried to hide her tears and emotions.
"Xiao Chen has been away on a business trip for the past few days," Lu Shi said to Chen Sao, but his words were directed at Xiao Chengzi.
Aunt Chen forced herself to remain calm, trying not to break into tears, and said, "Thank you, thank you for telling me this..."
Then she softened her voice and said to Xiao Chengzi, "Xiao Chengzi, Daddy is away on a business trip and can't pick him up today. Shall we come again next time?"
"Also, your Uncle Lu is going home, so we won't bother him any longer."
As he spoke, he reached out to take Xiao Chengzi, and Lu Shi quickly handed her over. Then he heard Xiao Chengzi say, "Mommy, can we video call Daddy?"
"Dad must miss Mom and me a lot since he hasn't seen us for so many days."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Chen could no longer hold back. She hugged Xiao Chengzi tightly, tears streaming down her face, but dared not cry out loud.
Lu Shi watched all this and silently left.
He rode his bike back home.
I opened my phone and started browsing food delivery options, trying to find something I wanted to eat.
However, Lu Shi found that he didn't seem to have a good appetite.
Lu Shi took a deep breath and stood on the balcony. He felt that he had been having some problems lately.
Xiao Chen's death was merely a trigger; he wasn't unable to accept the departure of those around him, he had grown accustomed to this feeling.
He has experienced too much since he was a child.
but……
"This time is different. This time I still owe him something," Lu Shi said.
"Furthermore, how things unfolded was not in my best interest."
"The mastermind behind the scenes succeeded in his plan. Through Zhou Jianye, he exposed the problems at No. 1 Middle School."
"But I haven't yet achieved the relevant merits and positions, so I can't participate."
"Because of the severe shortage of personnel, I am actually unable to get promoted." Lu Shi found himself stuck at an awkward moment.
To outsiders, his initial grasp of metaphysical abilities still requires favorable environmental conditions to prevent bloodshed and disaster.
In this situation, the attention of the leadership of the metaphysics society was drawn to the events at No. 1 Middle School.
His promotion and training were temporarily put on hold.
In other words, he was left to his own devices during this period.
Although this wasn't entirely a bad thing, Lu Shi was able to slowly calm down during this time.
"Just because of the situation at No. 1 Middle School, the whole of Changshi feels like a storm is brewing, and recently, abnormal events in Changshi have been on the rise." Lu Shi convinced himself.
He admitted that he was indeed frightened when he was at the steel mill a few days ago.
The top-tier metaphysical ability user has truly possessed an unreasonable, catastrophic level of strength.
Captain Fu can be considered a pillar of strength, but he is not at the top level.
That terrifyingly powerful figure instilled a great sense of insecurity in Lu Shi.
If this drags on, could some catastrophic disaster occur, causing him to completely fail?
Thinking of this, Lu Shi stood up, checked the time, and then voluntarily went to the metaphysics society to work overtime, browse through various metaphysics books, and then make related plans.
The date is 9665, which is May 17th, 2026, a Sunday.
At 11:59:50 p.m., Lu Shi used both hands and feet to quickly climb onto the railing of the unsealed window on his balcony.
The height of the ninth floor is still a bit intimidating.
But Lu Shi stood there calmly, watching the time on his watch tick by.
As the new day arrives, Lu Shi throws out a Time Coin.
The time coin flew into the air, while Lu Shi jumped down.
