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

Chapter 92 The Traitor's Scheme (Seeking First Subscription of 13)

"Can't light it?" The man shook the lighter curiously, trying to check if there was any gas left.

Hearing the sound of the liquid sloshing around, the man's expression grew increasingly strange.

The next moment he tried to press the lighter, and the entire lighter suddenly exploded, followed by a burst of flame, which quickly went out.

"Holy crap! Holy crap!!!" Everyone around was startled.

"Where did you get this lighter from?" Seeing that no one was injured, someone nearby immediately joked.

After being startled, these people didn't care much about it anymore, treating it as just a cheap lighter.

However, Lu Shi, who was standing to the side, squinted and saw all of this.

If I'm not mistaken, that momentary fluctuation in the degree of erosion felt somewhat familiar.

Lu Shi raised his hand, manipulated the watch, and brought up the corrosion fluctuation table of the detector on the watch during the previous period.

The moment it was detected, the fluctuation in the erosion level increased slightly, but not to an abnormal degree.

After thinking for a while, Lu Shi decided not to record this point, but instead continued to chat with Huang Yang about chickens as if nothing had happened.

Chicken stewed with five-finger peach has a unique aroma.

The chicken meat was very tender, and the skin was crispy.

The aroma of chicken combined with the fragrance of five-finger peach is enough to make one's nose bleed from the smell.

Served with a side of homemade chili sauce, it's an unforgettable experience.

And the soup is a must-try; its fresh and fragrant flavor leaves a lingering aftertaste.

After a meal of chicken, both sides were full and satisfied.

In the afternoon, Lu Shi did not rush to the Illusionary Yin Sect to practice martial arts. After saying goodbye to Huang Yang, Lu Shi pondered for a while and then dialed Captain Fu's number.

The lighter that just exploded was definitely not normal, and based on my intuition, I'm pretty sure it was done by someone I know.

""

After the busy signal, the call was not answered.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Shi picked up his phone and dialed Sister Xu's number.

"Wait a minute, Lao Liu, help me stir-fry this dish, I haven't added salt yet—" From afar, you could hear Sister Xu holding her phone away and calling out to her husband.

After a while, Lu Shi heard the sound of a door being opened, and then he heard Sister Xu's voice.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Shi," Sister Xu apologized, then asked, "What's the matter?"

"Sister Xu, you're eating quite late." Lu Shi didn't rush to get to the point. After making small talk, he casually asked, "By the way, Sister Xu, have you heard anything about the captain lately? He seems to be very busy."

On the other side, upon hearing Lu Shi's words, Sister Xu's voice remained unchanged.

"No, the captain has been investigating the company's activities all this time."

"This company is hiding too well; we haven't been able to find anything out about it."

"We might have to send some moles into the company to find them all."

After exchanging a few words with Lu Shi, Sister Xu hung up the phone.

Standing on the balcony, Sister Xu gazed into the distance, sighed with slight worry, and could only turn around and go back inside.

Most of the people in this metaphysics society have their own inner conflicts. Those who can come into contact with abnormal things and awaken their spiritual awareness are mostly people on the margins of society.

Or perhaps they possess some special qualities.

These kinds of people all have their own stories.

They are trapped in this story, unable to escape, unable to repent, and can only continue on their way by clinging to their obsession.

Even Sister Xu herself was like that in her early years, but she seized the opportunity to retire.

Although I am now a member of the sixth field team, I am mostly responsible for logistical work.

She naturally understood the implied meaning in Lu Shi's words.

She also hoped that Lu Shi could understand the meaning behind her words.

"A mole—is there a mole in the Metaphysics Society?" Lu Shi wasn't stupid; Sister Xu's deliberate suggestion to send a mole into the company was already suspicious.

Normally, Sister Xu should have used a term like "spy" or "agent," instead of the derogatory term "traitor."

Because of this anomaly, Lu Shi was able to quickly identify the problem.

"The mole in this company is quite well hidden." Lu Shi couldn't help but think of that previous timeline.

Along that route, the Metaphysics Society, united in their hatred of Xiao Chen's murder, recalled many members of the field team.

Then Zhou Jianye was shaken, and one of the company's outstretched claws was cut off.

At that time, the mole within the metaphysics society had not been exposed.

This shows that the mole was well hidden; even if some people knew there was a mole in the metaphysics club, they couldn't find him.

If the investigation continues, the other party will likely be exposed.

However, due to the sudden outbreak of problems at No. 1 Middle School, the subsequent liquidation of the company was temporarily put on hold.

"The captain may not have failed to find anything; he simply no longer trusts the Metaphysics Society, so he didn't hand over the clues he found and continued his investigation in secret."

"And this time, is he planning to rely on simulated terror and completely destroy the company?"

Lu Shi never expected that the seemingly steady Captain Fu would be able to do something like this.

That's right, the self-destruction of that lighter was most likely a simulated horror ritual performed by Captain Fu.

Captain Fu's abilities are mostly related to fire, and many people believe that Captain Fu's metaphysical ability is "fear of fire," which is people's fear of deadly things in daily life.

But Captain Fu's cigarette that never lights, and the lighter he takes out when using his ability, both indicate that his mystical abilities are related to these things.

After realizing Captain Fu's plan, Lu Shi suddenly didn't know what to do.

From a purely utilitarian perspective, Lu Shi should have reported Captain Fu at this point.

For members of the Metaphysics Society to conduct large-scale simulated horror activities without prior review is a clear violation of regulations and an extremely dangerous act.

Having reported the other party, given Lu Shi's current status as a level three employee, he might even be able to temporarily assume the position of team leader.

If he can advance his metaphysical abilities to level three or demonstrate substantial combat capabilities comparable to level three, perhaps that temporary replacement can be removed.

only----

Lu Shi shook his head: "If I really do that, I might be despised for the rest of my life, and my current base will also turn against me. This position as captain of the third team is not very meaningful."

"In truth, it's better to take the orthodox path of meritorious service."

"If we can eradicate this chronic problem in the company, it will be another great achievement."

"It's normal for Captain Fu to step down because of the violation of regulations."

"That way, I can not only become the captain, but also win people's hearts."

After finalizing the plan, Lu Shi gradually formed an idea.

It was at this moment that Lu Shi received a call from Wang Zijian.

"Senior Brother Shi! I've mastered metaphysical abilities!"
