Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 177 The Banishment Technique Takes Effect
After a few seconds of deathly silence.

The madwoman seemed to have been whipped hard by an invisible lash, and her whole body sprang up.

Then, like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, it circled around aimlessly twice before immediately leaving.

The shoes made a hurried sound on the cement floor.

And she had just left.

Chen Baiyu had already walked out of the apartment building entrance and quietly followed behind.

[Lili Planting White Elms]: Aunt Zhang, there seemed to be a rabid dog barking downstairs just now, but I've managed to chase it away. Please take care of yourself and Haochen at home, and don't let the noise disturb you. Call me anytime if you need anything.

After leaving this message for Aunt Zhang Yiyu.

Chen Baiyu calmly followed behind the crazy woman.

Banishment is actually a very magical and interesting spell. Now that he has a test subject delivered to his door, so he doesn't need to randomly find innocent passersby to experiment on, he must seize the opportunity to experiment and understand its characteristics.

to be frank.

Chen Baiyu felt that this kind of causal ability was a bit too abnormal.

At least Zhou Jianjun, the criminal police officer from Suining, hasn't been able to find him since the death of the petty thug Guo Feiyang. I wonder what he's been up to.

According to his estimation, Zhou Jianjun has likely been led astray by the causal effect of the title "outlaw," and has gone astray to who knows where.

Theoretically speaking.

This spell is actually quite terrifying; if used properly, it can cause serious trouble.

For example, you could use it on a police officer on leave, a military officer on leave, or a national leader on sick leave.

So, to what extent will this causal ability guide the tide of fate to make these people work overtime?

This is undoubtedly a question worth considering.

Does this ability have an upper limit to its real-world application? What are the characteristics of this ability when it is actually used? What would be the effect of using this skill on an unemployed person?
He had many questions.

This is an opportunity to experiment, to use this insignificant genius to determine the specific effects and limits of the banishment spell.

While thinking.

Chen Baiyu's figure blended into the morning mist, easily following the madwoman for dozens of meters.

They soon arrived at the woman's building.

Seeing the woman's mother coming down to give her a backpack full of work supplies, Chen Baiyu didn't hesitate to cast a banishment spell on the familiar old woman.

next moment.

The 50 points of magic power were not successfully deducted.

Even if the Banish spell fails to cast, you still have two more chances to use it.

Chen Baiyu immediately understood.

People who are unemployed cannot trigger the Banish spell.

This makes the banishment spell more restrictive and less fun to play.

This reassured Chen Baiyu somewhat.

He really wouldn't dare use skills that were too powerful, for fear that the causal abilities he imagined would cause things to drastically affect and disrupt reality.

Therefore, he was not disappointed with the results of the experiment.

It's a pity that it can't be used to help unemployed people directly find jobs...

While thinking.

The crazy woman took the package and started walking quickly in a certain direction.

Seeing this, Chen Baiyu followed after them.

His steps seemed casual, yet he perfectly utilized the gaps in the shadows of the street corner, the obstruction of pedestrians, and the noise of passing vehicles.

The extraordinary coordination brought by his twelve-point constitution, coupled with his keen perception of the surrounding environment, made him like a ghost wandering in a concrete jungle.

With his skill level, the crazy woman naturally wouldn't realize she was being followed.

Or even if an ordinary person were to follow her, given the crazy woman's current anxious state, she probably wouldn't notice.

The madwoman seemed preoccupied and hurried along.

My mind was filled with the boss's roars on the phone about "urgent projects" and "get to work immediately."

Speechless all the way.

The madwoman went straight into an old building in a relatively lively area of ​​the old town.

Chen Baiyu did not follow him through the gate.

Instead, it donned an optical camouflage layer and silently climbed to the top floor of a building next to the old one, like a gecko.

This is, after all, a very lively area of ​​the old town.

If he climbs up without wearing optical camouflage, he'll be filmed and posted on TikTok immediately.

Upon arriving at the rooftop, we discovered an excellent view.

It's convenient to see part of the area where the crazy woman works through the window.

So Chen Baiyu leaned against the water tower.

The optical camouflage was removed in a corner where it was not visible to the people below to avoid wear and tear.

Immediately, the nascent form of the Yang God rippled slightly, extending its divine sense like invisible tentacles.

An eight-meter detection radius is just right at this moment.

Even if the distance might not be enough.

He also possessed terrifying hearing, capable of monitoring the entire building where the madwoman lived and clearly memorizing and analyzing the voices of everyone present.

The two working together can monitor everyone in the old building next door.

that's it.

Chen Baiyu stayed here and began to observe.

Throughout the morning, Chen Baiyu observed that the workstation of this crazy woman named Zhang Sufeng was indeed quite busy.

Although this seems normal to outsiders.

At most, it's just a bit of bad luck due to Mercury retrograde.

However, in Chen Baiyu's eyes, which were tinged with prejudice, these seemingly ordinary things were filled with a different feeling.

He felt that there were traces of cause and effect everywhere.

Although, given his skill level, he couldn't detect anything that was truly amiss.

All he knew was that almost as soon as Zhang Sufeng sat down and turned on her computer, her colleague next to her came in carrying a thick stack of backlogged files.

"I'm so sorry, Sister Zhang. Mr. Wang said this analysis report is urgent and specifically asked you to review it, saying you're the most meticulous!"

Zhang Sufeng's face stiffened as she took over the work.

Not long after that.

The internal phone rang again; it was another department urging them to submit a report that was due last week.

Before she had even finished her previous job, Zhang Sufeng had to deal with the report issues.

Just as she was frantically dealing with the reports.

The computer in front of me suddenly crashed with a blue screen.

The IT staff were held up by other urgent issues and didn't arrive until half an hour later. After checking, they said the system needed to be reinstalled.

Her morning's work was almost wasted, and she could only borrow a spare machine that was as slow as a snail to continue to replicate the results she remembered.

Chen Baiyu could see it clearly from the rooftop.

Every task assignment, every equipment malfunction, every meeting notification, and every support request, taken individually, is perfectly reasonable, without a trace of deliberate arrangement. Even the expressions on my colleagues' faces.

Whether it was anxiety, apology, or a sense of entitlement, there was no trace of acting; it perfectly reflected the everyday workplace.

He attempted to use his powerful spiritual sense to carefully scan the energy flow within the office.

They were trying to find clues as to how magic could directly intervene.

For example, abnormal magical fluctuations, traces of mental suggestion, and so on.

But still, nothing was found.

Everything unfolded so seamlessly and smoothly it was almost suffocating.

"Is this the power of causality...?"

Chen Baiyu felt a chill run down her spine.

Although I had already witnessed the law of cause and effect once, seeing it again still made me a little uneasy.

My previous rudimentary understanding of the banishment spell was instantly elevated from mere theoretical data to a level of personal experience.

The causal type of ability does not brutally distort reality, but rather, like a master chess player gently plucking the threads of fate.

Countless seemingly independent coincidences converge into an irresistible torrent.

Precisely guide the target into the pre-set script.

This subtle yet irresistible quality instilled a profound terror in him more than any dazzling magical attack.

It utilizes the rules themselves.

Chen Baiyu once again experienced the feeling he had when he was given the title of outlaw.

It's as if there really is an immortal in heaven, using the fate of all living beings as a chessboard to fine-tune and lay out the layout. Zhang Sufeng may not even know that she is always being caught in a well-planned net while she is busy running around.
It evoked a familiar chill and a sense of longing.

As Chen Baiyu pondered.

The clock struck 12:30.

After a morning of high-intensity, low-efficiency work, Zhang Sufeng finally managed to finish dealing with the mountain of urgent tasks piled up at her.

She looked exhausted and hurriedly tidied up the table, wanting nothing more than to escape this awful place and go home immediately.

She had just stood up and picked up her bag.

The shrill, piercing ring of the internal telephone rang again!

Zhang Sufeng's body stiffened abruptly. She slowly moved back to her workstation and reluctantly answered the phone.

Chen Baiyu's hearing clearly "captured" the roaring voice of the department head coming from the other end of the phone.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Chen Baiyu could see Zhang Sufeng's hand holding the microphone trembling violently, her knuckles turning white from gripping it so tightly.

She first shook her head in disbelief, then repeatedly operated and confirmed the computer screen, and finally slumped into the chair as if her bones had been removed.

Her shoulders slumped.

He just mechanically explained and assured the person on the other end of the phone, then hung up listlessly.

Then, she seemed to resign herself to her fate.

He turned the computer back on with a blank look in his eyes.

He placed his hands heavily back on the keyboard and began typing frantically.

Obviously.

She doesn't plan to go home at noon.

Chen Baiyu didn't need to get close to hear what had just happened: a key project that Zhang Sufeng used to be in charge of suddenly encountered an extremely serious problem that needed to be solved immediately.

This mess will directly impact the company's operations and key clients.

Moreover, the responsibility clearly points to her personally!

If not dealt with immediately, the consequences could range from huge compensation payments and job loss to legal liability.

Go home? Have a meal? Take care of family?

Faced with the threat of losing their jobs or even getting into legal trouble, all of that becomes insignificant.

Chen Baiyu witnessed this sudden scene unfold before her eyes.

Almost immediately, it became clear that this was the causal power of the banishment spell at work.

It was that invisible shackle of cause and effect that suddenly tightened, firmly welding Zhang Sufeng to her workstation.

The power of banishment.

It revealed a hint of its sharp fangs.

only.

He still couldn't find anything.

A gentle breeze blew around him, and everything reminded him that this was just an ordinary world.

Everything that happened to Zhang Sufeng was a coincidence.

but……

Chen Baiyu gazed quietly at the person behind the glass curtain wall downstairs.

A figure struggling desperately like a trapped beast.

The golden sunlight shone on the towering buildings of the city, yet it couldn't penetrate the office shrouded in the shadow of "exile."

His expression became complicated.

That woman was destined to spend a long, painful afternoon in front of the computer.

It was only because he consumed a mere fifty points of magic power.

This is a skill with a high cost-performance ratio.

It was so useful that he was afraid to use some of them.

While thinking.

He decisively put on another layer of optical camouflage, then turned and left the rooftop.

He already had a general understanding of the specific effects.

There's no need to continue observing any further.

All I can say is that the effects of the banishment spell were more perfect and terrifying than he had imagined.

After a morning of observation, Chen Baiyu could draw roughly three conclusions.

the first.

The banishment spell only works on targets who are currently employed.

second.

The method of exile is based entirely on real-world logic and a series of coincidences.

third.

The upper limit of how much this ability can influence reality depends on the target's social network, the nature of their work, and the space allowed by real-world rules.

The experiment confirmed that this skill is not as exaggerated as claimed, and there are still some limitations.

but……

It's still terrifyingly strong.
