RBCT Chapter 31 Galore
Chapter 31 Galore
Lu Shi was able to achieve the "Blood Calamity" through simulated terror largely because he himself had died from the Blood Calamity several times, giving him a deep understanding of it.
Or rather, it's difficult for others to have such profound and deep insights as he did.
After all, not everyone has ever been crushed into a paper doll by a two-dimensional foil.
In this situation, Lu Shi, as the host, had a deep understanding of bloodshed and disaster. He then used Captain Fu as a sacrifice to absorb Captain Fu's fear, thus completing the simulated terror.
"Of course, these are just the three core points of simulating terror. Apart from these three points, there will be different requirements depending on the specific context," Lu Shi said.
For example, his "bloodshed" requires the offering to be told in advance: you are in danger of bloodshed.
This is the starting point.
However, the movement of weapons does not require this; it requires the sacrificial offering to have a sufficient understanding of cold weapons.
Both Master Shi and Gao Mi have a deep understanding of cold weapons.
They are familiar with cold weapons, so once those weapons are out of their control and become the weapons that kill them, they can exert the greatest effect of 'fear' and ritual.
"Did you choose a ritual?" Lu Shi asked after Wang Zijian understood the steps of the simulated horror.
"Hmm." Wang Zijian nodded, his expression changing slightly, as if he was recalling something unpleasant.
"I'd most likely choose the fear of 'Jiahao'," Wang Zijian said after a pause, looking at Lu Shi.
Skills are a matter of privacy, and unless it's for work purposes, people generally don't talk about them casually.
Especially the core of one's abilities; if it is targeted, it becomes a relatively dangerous situation.
However, Wang Zijian chose to believe Lu Shi, the "senior brother" he had only known for a few days.
"Jiahao..." When Lu Shi heard this word, he thought of the carnival he had seen in the video before.
In Lu Shi's understanding, Jiahao at the beginning was only targeting those who were untimely, incompetent, but insisted on loading goods.
This isn't really a problem; it's just a topic.
However, it quickly spread, and some individuals who were not sociable or had a strong desire to express themselves were also called "Jiahao" and were ridiculed and mocked by the group.
Especially among students, the bullying has shifted from targeting those who are unconventional to a form of social bullying against anyone who stands out.
People with strong personalities are often ostracized and suppressed.
This process will inevitably cause harm.
Wang Zijian displayed a variety of emotions, and after uttering the name Jiahao, his face showed a self-deprecating smile.
Clearly, Wang Zijian was also a victim of this revelry.
"I've loved fantasy novels and other esoteric stories since I was a child, and I'm very interested in metaphysics and other such things."
"Everything was fine until this meme started. At school, I was first nicknamed 'Taoist Master,' and then it became 'Taoist Master Jiahao.'"
"Those people don't care whether I really like these things or whether I'm faking it. They're just using this as an outlet to vent their emotions."
"They forcibly dragged me to the abandoned school building and locked me in a classroom. They said the school was haunted and asked me, a Taoist priest, to perform a ritual to exorcise the ghost."
When talking about these things, Wang Zijian's eyes reddened, but he was trying hard to hold back his tears.
He then grinned and said, "But I was lucky. Not only was I unharmed, but I also awakened my spiritual awareness and truly touched upon metaphysics."
"Hmm." Lu Shi didn't say anything more to comfort Wang Zijian after hearing his words, he just hummed in response.
Then I took out an A4 sheet of paper and started writing on it.
"The elements of 'Jiahao' are divided into two types. One is the bullying direction, which is the bullying of mavericks, and the bullied are used as sacrifices."
"Another approach is to reverse the direction: by being unconventional, you instill fear in the bullies, interrupt their exclusion, fight back against their ridicule, and shatter their sense of entitlement."
"They think they are 'hunters,' so they reverse that identity."
"Believe me, once the situation reverses, their fear will definitely leave a lasting imprint."
Lu Shi roughly sketched out the simulated horror that Wang Zijian needed to perform on a piece of paper.
They helped analyze the psychology of those bullies.
Those people are using the pretext of targeting Jiahao to bully others at will. In essence, they are using their social circles to target Jiahao, which is not bullying. Therefore, the conclusion is correct.
As long as this conclusion holds true, they will be able to act recklessly.
"There's no need for that. Those people are just bullies who prey on the weak."
"As long as we beat them into submission and humiliate them, they will be afraid." Wang Zijian was also excited at this moment.
During this period, he spent his mornings helping with paperwork and studying metaphysics, while his afternoons were dedicated to training. He received expert guidance at the metaphysics society to learn combat skills and improve his physical fitness.
In the evenings, since he got off work early and his parents didn't pay much attention to him, he would go to the martial arts school that cooperated with the metaphysics society to study.
Although he has only been studying for a short time, he had previously enjoyed things like cultivating immortality and metaphysics, and had also practiced martial arts. Although his skills were unsystematic and he had not achieved much, he still had a certain foundation.
Furthermore, after activating his spiritual awareness, his learning ability in this area has improved considerably, and he has already achieved some success.
Besides, the people who bullied him at school were only doing so because they outnumbered him.
In addition, Wang Zijian was in the thick of the matter at the time and did not step back to see things from a different perspective. Suddenly being ridiculed and mocked by so many people, the young man could not bear the pressure and did not dare to fight back.
But now it's different; Wang Zijian has actually obtained something related to metaphysics.
After stepping outside the situation, my mindset and spirit underwent an unprecedented change. It wasn't actually that difficult to deal with the bullies in the school and use them as sacrifices.
"Some details still need to be polished," Lu Shi pointed out.
He was able to condense the mark of bloodshed entirely because he was incredibly resilient.
After three rebirths, he finally figured out the details, absorbed all the fear perceptions, incorporated them into the prototype, and formed an imprint.
If other people's rituals are as crude as Lu Shi's, it is more likely that the ritual will fail, the imprint will not be able to take shape stably, the fear within will in turn erode the spirit, and then the person will go insane.
After going mad, one might possess some supernatural or mystical abilities, but these abilities cannot be developed into stable mystical powers.
Lu Shi didn't want his own experience to make Wang Zijian disregard metaphysical rituals, ultimately harming himself and others.
The risks involved are significant, and the key lies in one's own understanding and control of the relevant factors.
"It's best to rehearse once or twice."
"You also need to pay more attention to controlling your intuition."
Intuition is the foundation of metaphysics; often it is simply another sense beyond the five senses.
But without spiritual insight, metaphysics seems to have no basis.
