"To tell you the truth, Brother Feng, I plan to set up an Anomaly Research Society here. I want to gather all the knowledgeable people who are interested in this and form an organization to study the source and patterns of the Anomalies. I want to make a contribution to the people, "Lu Sheng said righteously.
Nowadays, people were always convinced by such words of high consciousness.
Feng Zhongzheng was in awe when he heard this.
"If it's true, Brother Lu, please count me in."
"Of course, of course! But before that, we have to make a name for ourselves, "Lu Sheng said carefully.
"Of course!"
"I'll cover all the expenses of this research society. Also, I've bought a residence in this city to be used for the research society. I'm also going to hire a few powerful Pugilistic World experts to teach the members how to deal with danger, "Lu Sheng said seriously.
Feng Zhongzheng had thought that Lu Sheng was just acting on a whim. However, he was shocked when he heard that Lu Sheng had even bought a house.
"Brother Lu, you're willing to spend so much money!"
"In today's world, Anomalies are rampant and the people are suffering. Even the imperial court is powerless to eradicate them. If knowledgeable people like us can carefully find the patterns of the Anomalies and find a way to eradicate them, it will be a great contribution! It'll benefit the people! "Lu Sheng said generously.
"Brother Lu, you're so righteous!" Feng Zhongzheng was in awe. He picked up his teacup and toasted Lu Sheng three times. "Since that's the case, since Brother Lu has already done this much, then it's not right for me to continue making excuses. Fine! I'll join! "
"That's not all. We'll also try our best to pull all the people who have the same idea into the research society and discuss the big plan together!" Lu Sheng said seriously.
"That's right. I'm familiar with many people in this city. There are also a few who are interested. I'll talk to them!" Feng Zhongzheng's blood was boiling. He felt a heavy sense of mission on his shoulders.
He was originally a good-for-nothing hedonistic son of rich parents, but at this moment, it was as if because of this heavy sense of responsibility, his whole person suddenly became upright.
On the same day, he went back to gather people.
As Lu Sheng expected, the next day, Feng Zhongzheng quietly pulled three people into the guild.
Including Lu Sheng, the five of them first went to see the huge mansion in the suburbs that Lu Sheng had bought. There were three five-story buildings and a fish pond in the middle. The four of them couldn't help but sigh at the extravagance of the house.
Hence, the so-called Anomaly Research Society was hastily set up just like that.
Lu Sheng was the chairman, and Feng Zhongzheng was the vice-chairman.
Lu Sheng provided a large amount of working capital, while Feng Zhongzheng contacted various idlers and peddlers. Spending a small amount of money, he quickly built a simple, loose, and enormous intelligence network.
Many commoners were interested in such strange things, so it was easy for them to inquire about it.
The research society hired people to set up a tea shop in the wilderness near the main road outside the city, which was neither too far nor too close. They provided tea and snacks for free.
However, if one wanted to enjoy it for free, they had to tell a Anomaly rumor that they had heard before.
When Lu Sheng heard about the tea shop, he was very impressed. He took out a few hundred taels of silver and hired people to set up tea shops on the other three main roads in the city.
Feng Zhongzheng was in charge of gathering information about the rumors, while a young man named Lu Jianhua was in charge of verifying the authenticity of the information.
There were also two women who were in charge of verifying the authenticity of the information and rumors.
After the framework was set up, the entire research society began to take shape.
Lu Sheng hired people to clean the place, as well as old maids to cook. He also hired two good men who had retired from the escort agencies and yamen to guard the door.
The entire research society was in full operation.
Lu Sheng spent a total of more than a thousand taels of silver, but it was worth it to him.
It was not bad to be able to set up a framework for gathering information about the Anomalies without using his own strength.
Soon, he sat down and did not move. From all the information he had gathered, he had a rough understanding of the current relationship between the Great Song and the Anomalies.
Due to the previous Devil Disaster, the number of Anomalies had decreased significantly for some unknown reason. After the Great Song was rebuilt, the Anomalies slowly recovered.
The government of Great Song did not seem to care about these Anomalies that could not be eliminated at all. They could not be bothered to deal with them. Anyway, the Anomalies would not move. They just had to be careful and avoid them.
There were indeed many organizations among the people that were formed to chase the Anomalies away. However, all of them failed without exception.
As a result, no one dared to deal with the Anomalies.
However, ordinary young masters like Feng Zhongzheng did not care. They were not going to risk their lives. They were only studying the rules and nature of the Anomalies. This was undoubtedly the best way to kill time for educated young masters and young mistresses.
Collecting all kinds of Anomaly cases was like reading a storybook. In fact, it was much more interesting.
Soon, a month later, the Anomaly Research Society recruited more than ten middle-level young men who had nothing to do in the city.
They did not have to worry about food and clothing, but they lacked entertainment. They could not indulge in debauchery and ruin their reputation and health.
Therefore, coming to the Anomaly Research Society to read up on the mysterious Anomalies became their favorite pastime.
Lu Sheng did not care about the purpose of these people's visit. All he did was to collect all the Anomaly cases, organize them into books, and place them neatly in the library.
He gave the library a name, the Anomaly News Library.
At first, these young men, including Feng Zhongzheng, joined the research society with the mentality of watching stories and reading for fun. Moreover, they could eat and drink here when they had nothing to do. There was also a huge space where they could move around freely. It was much freer than being controlled at home.
However, as they collected more and more Anomalies, these young men saw more things. Gradually, their mentality changed slightly.
…
…
"Bam!"
"How dare you! Preposterous!! "
Outside the Anomaly News Tower, a burly young man slammed his palm on the surface of a stone pillar.
Behind him stood a handsome young man with a scholarly air. However, this man had a long, sharpened sword hanging from his waist.
"This is too tragic. That Squire Song's family has been doing good all their lives, but they ended up like this! "The young man sighed in low spirits.
"Does that Anomaly not have a heart of compassion?! That Song Ke 'er is so kind and cute! How! How! "The young man's breathing quickened, and his face turned red. "Moreover, no one dares to do anything even if we report this to the authorities! Preposterous!! "
"Brother Chen Da, don't you understand after reading so many Anomalies? The authorities are too lazy to care. That Anomaly is cruel and evil. No one can control it … "The young man consoled him.
"Bullsh * t! I've been practicing the Hunting Tiger Palm for more than ten years. That Anomaly is nothing more than a third-rate Pugilistic World! It's just to catch them off guard. The methods of attack are always the same! "Chen Da spat out a mouthful of saliva.
"Moreover, that place is not far from us!"
"Brother Chen …"
Chen Da waved his hand.
"Du Chengxuan, go back alone later. I'm tired today. I'm going back to rest." He strode out of the research society with a gloomy look on his face. Soon, he disappeared into the streets.
Seeing this, the handsome young man, Du Chengxuan, shook his head helplessly. He went to a small building at the side to have some tea and rest.
Lu Sheng stood on the top floor of the Anomalies Tower and looked down through the window.
When he saw Chen Da storming out of the research society, he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
He had been collecting these extremely tragic Anomalies and Anomalies. After seeing so many of them, many young masters and young mistresses started to feel indignant. They started to feel a strong sense of insecurity toward the environment they were living in.
Before this, they had only occasionally heard of tragedies or annihilations in places far away. Because the information was outdated and the accuracy was poor, no one felt anything.
But now, all the information was gathered together. Even the specific locations were marked out. With this, they suddenly realized that the place they were living in was filled with danger.
This made the people who joined the research society feel a sense of crisis and identity toward the research society.
Lu Sheng used his psychological guidance technique to guide them at the right time.
All he had to do was guide them at the crucial points and he had achieved his goal.
Looking at Chen Da leaving, Lu Sheng raised the cup of sweet tea in his hand and drank it slowly. He turned around and sat on the leather chair to rest.
The seeds had already sprouted. Next, he just needed to add some fertilizer and they would quickly take root and grow …
After resting for a while, Lu Sheng went downstairs to have his meal. Then, as usual, he read through the various Anomalies' books.
After that, he chatted with the members of the research society for a while. Before he knew it, it was already night time.
Just then, a young man called Du Chengxuan rushed over to him and told him that his good friend, Chen Da, who was the man who had left in a rage during the day, had left the city overnight.
His destination was probably Minister Song's manor where the Anomalies appeared!
In his' shock ', Lu Sheng quickly gathered all the members and informed them of this news.
Everyone searched frantically.
It was not until the next morning that Chen Da rushed back. He was riding a horse and his body was covered in blood. His right arm was broken at the base.
However, Chen Da did not return empty-handed. He took out something from his pocket and fainted completely — it was a piece of silvery-white strange metal material.
Lu Sheng urgently called for a doctor to treat him. At the same time, he quickly put away the metal material. After studying it for a long time, he walked out of the room with a solemn expression mixed with a hint of shock and joy. After hesitating for a while, he turned around and entered Chen Da's ward.
…
…
"What the hell is this!!?" Feng Zhongzheng and the other three were the core members of the research society. However, the four of them huddled together and could not understand the state of the silvery-white metal on the table.
Lu Sheng stood at the side with a solemn expression.
"To tell you the truth, the reason why I dared to establish this research society back then was because of this thing."
"This … what exactly is it used for??" Feng Zhongzheng asked in a deep voice.
"What is it used for …?" Lu Sheng took a deep breath.
"Chen Da, it's better if you tell the two of them yourself." He turned to look at the door of the room.
With a click, the door was slowly opened. Chen Da stood at the door with his limbs intact. He walked in slowly.
His expression was cold and stern. After experiencing life and death, he was no longer the Chen Da from before.
"To hell with those damned Anomalies!" He raised his right arm abruptly. His arm instantly wriggled and transformed into a large mass of silvery-white tentacles that waved around.
In the middle of the mass of tentacles, a dark yellow fluorescence was particularly glaring.
