Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 251 The Taoist Office's Speculations on the Other Side
Yandu, Office for Supporting Taoist Cultural Exchange.

Similar to the previous meeting, the host sat to one side, with several videos playing on a large screen next to him.

The first video, which appears to be a surveillance video from a store across the street, shows a large number of people suddenly emerging from a shop across the street, followed by a raging fire inside the shop.

A team of firefighters arrived quickly. Several firefighters used water trucks to extinguish the fire, while another firefighter rushed into the store and soon came out carrying a two- or three-year-old child.

But just as he reached the door, a noticeable explosion occurred inside the store. The glass doors and walls shattered suddenly, and various items from inside the store gushed out rapidly.

Even under such circumstances, the firefighter's steps remained steady, without swaying at all, and all the explosives behind him seemed to hit an insurmountable wall and fell to the ground when they made contact with his body.

The second video was shot from a head-mounted camera. As the person was walking, you could see that they were wearing a food delivery uniform and carrying a food delivery order.

Soon, the photographer arrived at the door of a house, knocked on the door, and, under the pretense of delivering takeout, rushed in with the help of others as the person opened the door.

But just as the suspect was subdued, another person suddenly ran out of the bedroom. Seeing the group wrestling, he pulled out a gun without saying a word and fired at the person filming.

The person filming was shot, but seemed oblivious, charging forward despite the bullets, disarming and subduing the attacker to the astonishment of his eyes, and then putting a silver bracelet on him.

The third video, also shot from a surveillance camera angle, appears to be from a routine checkpoint. Two inspectors are seen taking a dog into a van for a routine inspection.

But a moment later, the car suddenly started, first throwing the dog out, and then, during the U-turn, throwing both prosecutors out as well, causing them to fall onto the road.

Just as the car completed its U-turn and prepared to flee, one of the prosecutors appeared unable to move, while the other prosecutor did not flee but instead shielded the first prosecutor, using his back to meet the fleeing van.

Finally, the van came to a complete stop when it hit the prosecutor; the dent in the front of the van was even visible in the surveillance video.

“A few days ago, we received the first batch of Vajra Mystic Talismans, which we disguised slightly and then handed over to the regions and departments with the highest casualty rates.”

"Compared with the same period last year, the casualty rate in the relevant regions and departments has decreased significantly."

The host pointed to the large screen and introduced, "The video shows some of the more typical incidents, which were also captured by the camera."

"Fireproof, explosion-proof, bulletproof, and impact-resistant!"

"I feel this is much better than a bulletproof vest. Even if you wear a bulletproof vest, the impact of being shot can easily cause you to have a stitch or even injure your ribs. You can't continue fighting so energetically."

"You can see from Li Chang'an's video that the biggest feature of this Vajra Mystic Talisman is that it can block all impacts and will not hurt the wearer, so the wearer will be fine even if they fall from a great height!"

"This is incredible! What is the underlying principle? When we were doing the experiment, an associate professor's worldview was completely shattered. He exclaimed that physics had been overturned."

"Don't ask, it's all Taoist metaphysics."

After a few moments of reminiscing and joking, everyone finally got down to business.

"The Vajra Mystic Talisman is truly a wonderful item. It is said that this is a lower-quality Vajra Mystic Talisman, with a much lower defensive limit than the Golden Gang Bracelet, but it is still sufficient to ensure the wearer's safety in most situations."

"According to tests, its defensive limit is basically equivalent to being hit by a hundred-ton king or falling from a high altitude by parachuting, but this will also cause the Vajra Mystic Talisman's energy to be completely consumed in an instant, and there will be no longer any duration."

"Damn, that's great! What more could you want?"

"So, does that mean our paratroopers don't need to be equipped with parachutes?"

A moment of silence fell over everyone. "Let's change the subject." "Okay, let's change the subject. Based on our analysis and speculation, that world not only has ghosts, gods, and monsters, but also humanoid beings, who may even be very similar to humans."

Because Gu Zhao and the many Taoist priests brought gold, silver, fruit, grain, and ancient-style clothing, it was clear that they were able to live normally there. Some of the clothes were not even for their own use, and they were quite beautiful women's clothing.

There are also many of these Vajra Mystic Talismans, which were definitely not drawn by the Taoist priests themselves. Otherwise, they wouldn't have anything else to do, as they might not be able to finish drawing talismans even if they did it all day.

Therefore, it can be inferred that the world there might be an environment similar to our ancient society, but it is inhabited by various extraordinary creatures, making the living environment quite dangerous.

"Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio?"

"Journey to the West?"

"Investiture of the Gods?"

"It should be about right," the host said. "And according to sociologists, since humans and society exist, there will naturally be social order, and at the same time, there will be forces, or rather... institutions, that dominate social order."

"Court?"

"Yes." The host nodded. "The imperial court of the extraordinary world naturally possesses extraordinary power, and it should be the strongest power in that world."

"Judging from the attitudes of Daoist Yihong and Daoist Mingyu, the other party must be much more powerful than them."

Recalling the imposing presence Master Mingyu displayed in the United States, everyone gasped in shock.

"So it's right that we didn't send anyone over."

"The more people there are, the bigger the flaws become."

"If the court of that world discovers our existence and finds a way to come to our world, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Based on our judgment, the key to crossing between the two worlds should be Gu Zhao, but we don't know the specifics yet."

Someone suggested, "Should we suggest to Gu Zhao that he stay here as much as possible?"

Someone glanced at him sideways and said, "You're going to tell them?"

The man gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Never mind."

“Gu Zhao is their core, and should also be their most capable person.” The old man sitting in the main seat tapped the table, setting the tone, “We must show him the utmost respect.”

"Understood." Everyone nodded.

"Have all the cold weapons been sent over?" the old man asked again.

"They've all been sent over. They're using the latest generation of materials, and they meet the highest standards in terms of hardness, toughness, high temperature resistance, and low temperature resistance."

"That's good." The old man nodded. "Don't worry, the other party is of good character and has so many Taoist priests. As long as the two sides communicate well and our support is in place, there will naturally be many benefits later."

"Understood." Zheng Hongsheng, who had been to Guangzhou before, sat at the lower end of the table and nodded in agreement. "Putting everything else aside, just thinking about lending us that storage gourd in a critical moment is exciting!"
