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

Chapter 97 My Own Memorial Tablet

The moment the bell rang, Lu Tiantian sat up even straighter.

Lu Bangyan and his wife exchanged a glance, and in the end, Lu Bangyan went to open the door.

Upon seeing Lu Bangyan, he was taken aback. Lu Shi's face gave him an indescribable sense of strangeness.

However, this strangeness was quickly dispelled.

Because behind Lu Shi, Uncle He, a person from the logistics department, was alright, but Master Jia Xian, Lu Bangyan, was very familiar with him.

Most importantly, there are also two official messengers.

Upon seeing the official, Lu Bangyan's vigilance lessened somewhat.

After introductions, Lu Shi and his group were welcomed into Lu Bangyan's home.

Next, Lu Bangyan first verified the official's credentials and even called the local police station to inquire. Only after receiving a definite answer did he sit down in a daze.

Lu Bangyan's eyes were vacant, as if he was thinking about something, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

"I never imagined that this world would hide so many things—" Lu Bangyan said with a wry smile.

He usually considers himself an intellectual, capable of understanding one aspect of the world with reason.

But I never expected that this world would actually have such an irrational side.

Hearing Lu Bangyan's words, the two constables who were also "ordinary people" present looked helpless.

Most people in this society regard the mystical and superstitious as feudal superstition, but as long as they assume certain social responsibilities or reach a certain social status, they can roughly know about the existence of mysticism.

For example, during their official duties, they have a dedicated department to cooperate with the metaphysics society.

Other departments are also generally aware of this matter.

Such is the overall social atmosphere: most people know about it but do not acknowledge its existence, a small number are merely aware of it, and only a very few individuals have truly entered the realm of metaphysics.

When the two constables learned that metaphysics really existed, they were also astonished. They even considered joining the metaphysics society, but the metaphysics society basically wouldn't accept people without spiritual insight.

As time went by, they gradually realized that metaphysics was just that—metaphysics. For them, criminals were more dangerous most of the time.

Unless they are cooperating with the metaphysics society, they rarely see metaphysics.

Over the years, they have gradually let go of their fear and longing for metaphysics.

Lu Bangyan's sigh stemmed partly from this, and partly from thinking about what happened more than twenty years ago.

The ordeal in the delivery room, the rollercoaster of joy, sorrow, and terror, etched itself into his memory for half his life.

Until recently, he couldn't tell whether that event was real or an illusion.

Was it a real ghost encounter, or just a hallucination caused by my child's early death?

But at that moment, he finally understood that it was not an illusion, but a great terror that no one had anticipated.

Meanwhile, Lu Tiantian's mother came out of the kitchen and served tea.

She is no longer young, and the years have left their mark on her face.

Lu Shi had seen her name in the documents; it was Wang Taohua.

Taking the tea she offered, Wang Taohua looked at Lu Shi's youthful face, then at Lu Tiantian beside her, and for some reason, tears began to flow.

Covering her mouth, Wang Taohua sat down next to Lu Bangyan.

"I'm sorry, I just... I just feel like crying when I think about my child—"

When Lu Tiantian saw her mother crying, she quickly went over to comfort her.

Lu Shi sat on the other side, his face expressionless, just watching like an outsider, and could only be an outsider.

After their emotions had calmed down a bit, Lu Shi and Uncle He gave a general introduction to the work and benefits of the Metaphysics Society.

However, Lu Bangyan and the others did not care much about these things. Although the Lu family was not extremely wealthy, they were quite well-off and did not worry much about money.

They were more concerned about the dangers involved and the children's future.

Lu Shi spoke up at the right time, explaining that Lu Tiantian was a minor at the moment, so she would not be sent on field missions and would focus on her studies in the early stages.

If Lu Tiantian decides not to continue in her position in the future, she can transfer to logistics.

Comparatively speaking, logistics is not that dangerous.

Of course, if Lu Tiantian decides to go into fieldwork, then as her metaphysical abilities condense and her employee rank rises, her social status and welfare benefits will also improve.

Although the members of the Metaphysics Society may not become famous, they are still serving the country and its people, and the country will naturally remember their contributions.

Putting aside the dangers and the inherently murky nature of metaphysics, the metaphysics club is indeed a good place to go.

Subsequently, the Metaphysics Society and the Lu family finalized a contract. Lu Tiantian will join the Metaphysics Society starting today, attending school on weekdays and working at the Metaphysics Society in her spare time.

In addition, the same applies to universities in the future.

The Xuanxue Society has certain connections with Changshi University and can easily get Lu Tiantian into the university through a "recommendation" program.

Therefore, even though Lu Tiantian will be a senior in high school, she will still be able to dedicate a lot of time to participating in the various activities of the metaphysics club.

With the matter settled, it was almost noon.

As is customary, people are invited to a meal together before, during, and after discussions.

At the dinner table, many things can be explained clearly.

So Lu Bangyan took the opportunity to suggest setting up a table nearby for lunch, or that he and his wife prepare a simple family dinner at home.

Lu Shi stood up, about to refuse with words like "public officials are not allowed to accept banquets".

But a slight stirring in his heart came over him. From where he was standing, he could see a corner of the balcony where there was a "shrine," but instead of incense, it was surrounded by toys.

The niche was covered by a red cloth, obscuring the contents inside.

However, Lu Shi's spiritual senses resonated with this thing the instant he saw it.

An indescribable force resided within it, and after Lu Shiling came into contact with it, he could sense that this force was of great benefit to him.

However, there was still a barrier between himself and that thing, and under this barrier, Lu Shi was unable to swallow it up.

"The difference in status?" Lu Shi suddenly realized that if he admitted on the spot that he was the eldest son of the Lu family, that barrier would immediately disappear.

But that would be a case of losing more than you gain.

"It's getting late, and I still have official duties to perform. Besides, I need to take Tiantian to complete some procedures this afternoon," Lu Shi said, declining the offer.

At that very moment, Lu Shi's phone rang; it was Xiao Chen calling.

"Something happened at the steel mill, most likely related to the simulated terror." Xiao Chen didn't say much, but it still cheered Lu Shi up.

The previous incident involving Zhou Jianye showed that the company had designs on the steel plant.

Currently, without experiencing the beating from the Metaphysics Society in another timeline, the company seems to be still very arrogant.
