I discovered a world bug.

Chapter 93 Shield

"So, you were actually already involved in this project all along?"

Six o'clock in the evening.

After the interview, Xie Yuchi waited outside the examination room until all the procedures were completed, and she finally saw Lin Shu come out of the interview room.

"The business trip you've been talking about is actually about finding... clues related to rituals?"

"No, not exactly."

Lin Shu shook her head.

"It's not that simple."

It's not that simple.

That sounds very Versailles-like, like asking someone, "You earn tens of thousands of dollars a month in a big city, right?" and they say, "Not that little."

"You're really amazing..."

""

Xie Yuchi said with emotion, "I always thought you were just making things up, about Xu Changshun's affairs... so his experiences were actually true, right?"

"He can really see when he dies, and he can control what he calls...: 'snakes'; right?"

'

Do you still remember?

Lin Shu looked at Xie Yuchi with curiosity.

"I thought you weren't interested at all."

"Even if I wasn't interested, I was listening right next to you, how could I not remember?"

"And after you started acting all mysterious, I went through everything that had happened before."

"To be honest, if these major events hadn't happened... I was planning to go to Xu Changshun's hometown myself before you returned to Yunnan to see if I could find anything."

"oh...

""

Lin Shu was suddenly moved—she wasn't saying she'd ask after she returned to Yunnan, but that she wanted to find out the truth in her own way.

She still understands me...

Knowing I wouldn't tell, but also worried and wanting to know the truth, I decided to take matters into my own hands...

Thank you.

Lin Shu said something out of the blue, and Xie Yuchi chuckled.

"Thank me? If you had told me sooner, I don't know how much trouble I could have avoided..."

,

"Don't always act like a big sister."

Lin Shu rolled her eyes.

"Now I am your boss — you just passed the interview, you're just an intern at best."

"Oh, Mr. Lin, what are your instructions?"

Xie Yuchi looked at Lin Shu with a mischievous glint in his eye, as if wanting to see what kind of nonsense he could come up with.

"No instructions..."

"Your work assignments are not actually under my jurisdiction; you need to wait for the Organization Department to make the allocations."

"However, if I had to say... based on your performance in the interview, you'll most likely be assigned to the logistics department, just like Lu Ran."

Who is Lu Ran?

Xie Yuchi pressed further, "Your colleague?"

"Yes, it's the voice you heard on the phone last time."

Lin Shu walked to a bench by the roadside and sat down. She picked up a leaf that had fallen on the bench and twirled it in her hand.

"She has a background in quantum physics and will be responsible for the research, integration, and application of some rituals."

"She needs a lot of people, especially those with traditional scientific backgrounds."

"You probably don't know, but rituals... are actually a science that spans multiple disciplines."

"What we are seeing now is only its appearance, only the effects it has caused."

"But to truly master it, we must thoroughly study its underlying principles."

"So...this department is very important."

"And you'll be very busy; you're in for a tough time."

science?

Quantum physics?

Xie Yuchi's expression shifted from confusion to surprise—even a second before, she had thought that the so-called "ritual" was a concept strongly tied to religion.

Just like the "magic" mentioned in cultivation novels, it objectively exists, but belongs to another side of the world.

It's just that it's been brought up again by chance.

However, judging from Lin Shu's words, the truth is not so.

Ritual is truly a science, and the official statements released earlier were not "cover-ups," but rather contained the real, most fundamental truth.

"call..

"7

Xie Yuchi let out a long breath.

"This world has really become a little unrecognizable to me... Never mind, let's not talk about this for now."

"And what about you? What are you going to do next?"

"implement."

Lin Shu replied, "We have a very crucial project that needs to be completed as soon as possible."

"We call this project Shield Casting."

""

"Its purpose is simple: to limit the power of rituals even when they are widespread and well-known to the public."

"Or to put it more accurately... we're building a cage."

"A cage that can put an uncontrollable wild beast inside and tame it."

"clear..

"7

Xie Yuchi nodded thoughtfully.

"That must be difficult, right?"

"It's not easy."

Lin Shu stood up.

"The shield-making project alone was already quite difficult."

"We need to send out a large number of operatives to explore and gather clues related to the 'shield'."

"We need to test each ritual, extract the most effective parts, and try to restore it into a truly usable and powerful ritual."

"We need to explore the true way to use this ritual, and maximize its effectiveness while minimizing manpower consumption as much as possible."

"We also have to bear the potential backlash from this ritual, and try to break free from the constraints imposed by the rules—what is known as 'divine retribution.'"

"Incidentally, we also need to establish a standardized information collection process at every location we visit, so that all information related to the rituals can be automatically collected into our hands."

"Of course, that's not all."

Lin Shu's voice was calm and steady. Xie Yuchi looked at his back in front of him and was momentarily dazed.

It seems like just a few years ago, Lin Shu was still a little kid who followed me around begging for candy.

It feels like just yesterday that he was that graduate who was having trouble at work, often complaining to himself about his boss and fans, and asking himself every day, "When will I finally get rich?"

But in the blink of an eye, he had completely changed.

He stood there, as if the entire world was in his hands.

"That's not all."

Lin Shu continued, "Just like I asked you during your interview, in the discipline of 'ritual,' do you think information or resources are more important?"

Your answer is that information is just as important as resources.

"This answer earned you a lot of points. Otherwise, even I wouldn't have let you in through the back door so easily."

"That's the truth—information and resources are equally important."

"Therefore... we need a deeper foundation."

Lin Shu turned around, pointed to a few students who happened to be passing by outside the door, and continued, "In the next year or two, we will integrate ritual education into basic education subjects, so that all students can understand rituals and learn about them in a more scientific way."

"We need to establish a broad, professional, and efficient screening mechanism to find those races with asymmetry, or in other words, 'deep affinity with the Dao.'"

"We must put all rituals into practice—we will not be satisfied with the miraculous effects of rituals, nor will we stoop to using miracles that transcend past experience" to endorse religion or to manipulate our people."

"We need to integrate rituals into real productive activities so that they can fundamentally change the way we exist."

"This is not a simple matter..."

""

Lin Shu paused for a moment, a hint of regret appearing on her face.

"To be honest, our opponents and our enemies are already moving faster and further than us."

"They were very lucky; they found the key much earlier," while we got it far too late.

"But it's okay..."

'

"This isn't the first time something like this has happened, but every time, we catch up again, right?"

"Yes."

Xie Yuchi nodded solemnly.

She had never imagined that the future would be such a vast picture in Lin Shu's mind.

That was definitely a... completely new era.

And Lin Shu...

No.

It wasn't just him.

Including him, and including myself.

Everyone together will go by hand...

Let's usher in that era!
