It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Myanmar's social media platforms began to burst with all sorts of information.

And not only Myanmar social media, international English social media, and domestic Chinese social media, there are related discussions, and they are very enthusiastic.

In today's society, such public and large-scale "mysterious events" have rarely appeared.

Earlier tonight, large-scale riots broke out in the tourist city of Montamira in eastern Myanmar, with many shops smashed and many tourists attacked and looted.

And under the guidance of people with hearts, it is mainly aimed at the Chinese.

However, the discussion on the Internet is not focused on the riots, but on the "visions" that appeared in many areas of Montamira during the riots.

A large number of residents and visitors to Montamira claim to have seen with their own eyes an immensely large monster with many arms and many eyes on its head.

But different people have different descriptions of the monster.

Some say that the monster is seven or eight meters tall, some say at least ten meters or even close to twenty meters, and some say that it is less than fifty meters and he drinks urine upside down!

Descriptions of the monster's appearance also vary, some say that they see a layer of black fog lingering, and they can't see the specific details, and it feels like tree bark, some say that it is made of stone, some say that it is obviously metal, and the reflection of metal can be seen, and others claim that the monster is covered in sarcoma and even bleeding black juice.

But one thing is the same – it has a lot of arms, a lot of eyes, or rather, eight arms, eight eyes.

And as long as they saw that monster, everyone had a sense of fear that shook their hearts.

However, most of those witnesses did not think that this monster that had given everyone a terrifying shock was an "evil" existence.

Because of its appearance, it not only directly prevented all the atrocities and saved many people, but also made many people feel like they have taken a "sauna" after calming down.

Therefore, many people even think that this huge eight-armed and eight-eyed monster may be some kind of awakened god who sensed the evil of the world, so he came down to cleanse the evil and dispel the darkness with fear.

However, most of these kinds of speeches are those who have witnessed the incident and seen the vision of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster", but the number of these people is very limited, and most people are frightened at this time, or they do not have the conditions to go online, and they do not have the habit of speaking on social media, so soon the public opinion on the Internet will be taken in other directions by most people.

First of all, some people questioned why no one could photograph this behemoth monster that appeared in the city? Even if no one took pictures, there should be a nearby surveillance footage, right?

However, the witnesses of the incident said that at the beginning, everyone was shocked by the appearance of the monster, and the whole body and mind were invaded by fear, and no one reacted to take pictures at all, and no one dared to take pictures.

However, when they reacted to take pictures, they found that there was something wrong with both the phone and the camera.

They are also expecting clear surveillance footage to flow out of the area in the incident.

But a Chinese owner who runs a shop in Myanmar posted a video on Weibo, confirming that when the incident occurred, all the surveillance in their store was malfunctioning, and there was no record of the process, and the same was true of the shops around him.

When the monster appeared, it seemed to have a strong interfering magnetic field, which temporarily made all electronic devices unable to operate normally, and even various lamps and lanterns went off or flickered.

But Montamira is a big city after all, and there happened to be a photographer who used delayed photography on the upper floors of a hotel to shoot the changes in the city's night scene.

His camera lens was pointed at the area of the incident, far enough away in a straight line that the equipment was not affected, so he recorded what happened in that area during that time.

Although it was far away, if the eight-armed and eight-eyed monster was really as huge as the eyewitnesses described, it would definitely be photographed.

The problem is that the photographer does not have any "giant monsters" in the picture at all.

So when the photographer posted the pictures he took and the time of shooting the pictures on social platforms in order to "slap the face of the witnesses", public opinion on the Internet immediately favored whether the person who posted it before was sensationalism or hallucinations.

However, the people who spoke on the Internet admitted the hallucination very simply, and many people said that they also found out that it was a hallucination soon after the monster disappeared, because many of the environmental changes created when the monster appeared, such as the footprints in the middle of the road, were restored with its disappearance.

Whether it was an illusion or not did not affect the feelings of the witnesses at all, and they were still full of shock and awe of the monster.

But for most netizens on the Internet, it has a great impact, making them have other guesses.

Soon the voices of those who witnessed it were drowned out, and the discussion on the Internet began to develop in different directions according to the play of netizens in various fields.

On English-language social media, many people believe that this is a "mental wave jamming weapon" used by the Myanmar government to suppress the riots, which can make everyone insane and hallucinate, and the evidence is that the electronic devices in the entire area were affected at that time, which is "ironclad evidence".

There are even many people who have found all kinds of official declassified documents that look "real", saying that some technologies were leaked from the laboratories of the former Soviet Union and were bought by the Burmese government to continue research, and some said that Lao Mei has a related laboratory built in Montamira, which may be Lao Mei's technology.

On the local social platforms in Myanmar, most of them don't know the long-distance shooting video released by the photographer before, or they don't think it can explain anything after watching it, and they still think that the eight-armed and eight-eyed giant is the manifestation of the true god to protect Montamira, but all the sects are taking credit, thinking that it is the hand of their own gods.

On Chinese social platforms, the scope of discussion is even wider.

Zhihu's hot list alone, there are seven related questions in the first 20 questions, involving multiple fields, and Weibo also has three related hot searches, even Station B and Douyu have UP owners who travel in Montamira After the network is connected, they open a live broadcast in the hotel to "report" the local situation.

There is a school of psychological analysis that believes that in the case of riots, because of the achievement of certain extreme conditions, the individual's emotions infect others around him through the senses, resulting in collective hallucinations. And began to look for past cases, analyze the experience descriptions sent by the parties on the internal and external networks, and verify them.

There is the Cthulhu Fantasy, which began to explore the commonality between the Cthulhu Mythos system and some unknown in reality, whether it is possible that there is really a similar unknown life, but it exists in a higher dimension, or a parallel universe. It's just that at a certain moment, its projection appeared in our world, in Montamira, and was seen by some people.

Those who see it may be easier to see creatures from another world in the future, and it will be easier to hear and see certain things.

There are also some conspirators who believe that this is a smoke bomb released by the Burmese official trolls on the Internet to eliminate the negative impact of the Montamira riots and take the opportunity to create a new tourist hotspot for tourists interested in mysterious things to come to Montamira to "explore".

However, when some Chinese people who experienced the incident in Montamira and saw the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" posted a description of the incident, this statement immediately disappeared and self-defeating.

After Xia Libing, who was guarding in front of the computer, saw the news that happened on the Internet, he naturally understood what Xiang Kun said about the "big movement", and immediately judged which of these messages were true and which were false.

She knew that the illusion of the "eight-armed and eight-eyed monster" was created by Xiang Kun - this ability was successfully tested for the first time in an abandoned factory in Thornton City under her "witness".

She even knew that this ability was derived and expanded by Xiang Kun based on the abilities developed by "Little Apple" and "Golden Flash".

It's just that she didn't expect that Xiang Kun would carry out such a large-scale and large-scale emotional projection impact.

However, combined with the news related to the Montamira riot, she can also guess the reason why Xiang Kun decided to do this.

Judging from her previous analysis of Xiang Kun's various speeches on the Internet in his early years, the items at home, the words he wrote and the things he did in his early years, although Xiang Kun always said that he was a selfish person and a person who was afraid of trouble, he actually had a strong sense of family and country.

Since Montamira's riot was mainly aimed at the Chinese, it was predictable that he would choose to take action when he had the ability to protect himself and influence the situation.

The choice to use the emotional projection of "eight-armed and eight-eyed wood carving" for influence is also in line with his character.

Judging from the comments of witnesses on the Internet, now that the illusion has disappeared for a long time, then normally speaking, Xiang Kun should have left Montamira and was on his way back.

So Xia Libing sent Xiang Kun's WeChat in a daze, she knew what Xiang Kun received, she knew the meaning of her inquiry, and she would definitely reply.

But until three o'clock in the morning, Xiang Kun did not reply.

This made Xia Libing feel a little strange, or Xiang Kun is still carrying out other actions, such as investigating the culprit and the reason behind the riot against the Chinese.

Either there was a problem with his phone and he couldn't receive the news, and from the accounts of those witnesses, when the eight-armed and eight-eyed monster appeared, the electronic devices were affected, and it only recovered after the illusion disappeared. So if his mobile phone has been carried by his side, it is also very likely that it will be directly broken if it is affected by a stronger influence.

If his mobile phone is broken and he can't be contacted, then when he returns to the border city in China tomorrow, will he think that she has returned to Chongyun Village to prepare a meat rabbit and directly buy a ticket to Jianzhou?

This worry only flashed in her heart for a moment, and was immediately dismissed by Xia Libing, she glanced at the notebook with black circles and graffiti on her lap, and then looked at the wooden box and a few coins on the table where chopsticks were placed, knowing that Xiang Kun would definitely not mistake her position.

......

Ye Zijun, who was in a hotel in Montamila, was also scrolling through various domestic online platforms, looking at relevant news, and didn't sleep all night, or couldn't sleep at all.

Last night, the young Burmese guy dropped her off at the hotel with her parents and left, without even having time to ask for their names and contact information.

After she and her parents found a doctor in the hotel to examine and bandage, they have determined that there is no problem, just some flesh wounds, just recuperate, and there is no need to go to the hospital, which can be said to be a blessing in misfortune.

The security of the hotel was relatively good, and soon a large number of armed military and police took to the streets, and the riots did not last long.

Of course, in Ye Zijun's opinion, it should be the giant who walked through the city that stopped the riot quickly.

Or should I say...... Giant Illusion?

Because when the riots broke out, some well-intentioned people deliberately instigated them, so the riots were mainly aimed at Chinese shops and Chinese tourists at the beginning.

So Ye Zijun saw a lot of radical and angry remarks on domestic social platforms, and directly denied everyone in Myanmar, so she told how she and her parents were "rescued" by the eight-armed and eight-eyed giant who "passed by" when they were attacked by five thugs on Zhihu, from the perspective of those who witnessed it, and how they were rescued by a tall Burmese teenager when they were entangled by two thugs again and escorted to the hotel.

Because she often likes to write things since middle school, her writing is good, and the things she experienced this time are too impactful, too impressive, and her mood swings are huge, so the long answers she wrote look very infectious, and with her identity as a witness, she quickly received a lot of approval and gratitude, and the answers were directly pushed to the top three.

In her description, the five thugs who first attacked the family were crazy, cruel, and desperate.

The eight-armed and eight-eyed giant that suddenly appeared, huge, mysterious, and terrifying, after it appeared, the five thugs seemed to be greatly mentally shocked, far greater than the reaction of her and her parents.

In her opinion, although the giant actually "saved" them, it did not care subjectively, or for them, for the mob, or for all the creatures on the ground, but only purely "passing by".

Later, when she met a Burmese teenager who saved their family of three, she felt warm blood and kindness, and she thought that with such a person, whether it was Myanmar or Montamira, it was still a place of hope.

To be honest, the style of this answer was very different from what she had written before, and she had a feeling of letting go.

And she has already made a decision, when she returns to China this time, she will resign and start doing the work she wants to do.

In the past, she was obedient and cautious in everything, and she had to act steadily and think twice before acting, but after this time, she suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, and understood that life is impermanent, and she can't plan everything and control everything.

She did not pass by death because of the sudden riot and danger, and she shrank back when she saw the horror and mystery, and she suddenly understood that what she was really afraid of and feared was the passage of life time, the extinguishing of the passion for life, and the regretful saying "I could have ......" when she was old.

On the morning of the next day, Ye Zijun, who was a little sleepy and wanted to rest, suddenly received a call from the front desk, saying that there was a police officer looking for her.

She didn't feel surprised, after returning to the hotel yesterday, she also used the hotel's phone to call the police, but not surprisingly, it has been unable to connect, it is estimated that too many people call the police, has been busy.

So she thought that this was the police who helped her call the police later, and the police finally freed up their manpower to investigate today.

But when she went down to the lobby and saw the police, she communicated with the hotel's interpreter only to find out that the other party had come to her for the local teenager who had rescued her and her parents on the road yesterday and escorted them to the hotel.

Early this morning, many people went to the police station to turn themselves in, and one of them confessed to his companions who went to smash the pharmacy last night, and the young man Maung Qiang was also one of them, so he was taken away by the police.

Maung Qiang explained to the police that he was not involved in the smashing of the pharmacy, but instead escorted the three Chinese tourists back to the hotel, so the police sent someone to confirm it.

After Ye Zijun looked at the photos on the other party's mobile phone, he naturally immediately confirmed the young man's statement, and the people in the hotel could also help prove that he really sent Ye Zijun's family of three last night.

Ye Zijun also knew that for such a case, the other party specially sent someone to this trip to confirm the reason, so he showed the answer she sent in China to the police, and then briefly introduced the content of her answer about Maung Qiang.

Although the person couldn't read the Chinese characters, he could also understand the number of likes and comments under the answer, and he could see the heat, so he asked Ye Zijun to help fill out a few forms, which meant that he could be released immediately, and he might be rewarded.

Ye Zijun took the opportunity to chat with the local police through the translator for a while, although the specific number of casualties in the city could not be disclosed to her now, but still told her that so far, they had not found any tourists killed in the riot last night.

In his words, he was also quite glad that there was an illusion of the eight-armed and eight-eyed giant last night, and even expressed envy for Ye Zijun, who had seen and felt the illusion of the giant, and asked her how she felt at that time.

Not only the police, but also the hotel's interpreter also showed curiosity and envy when they communicated, as if it was a great pity that they couldn't see the giant.

By noon the next day, the fermentation of the Montamira incident on the Internet had reached its peak.

In China, most of the people who see the relevant news have an attitude of watching the excitement.

But there are a small number of people, although they are not in Montamira and have not experienced the events of last night, when they see these news and news, they have a different feeling of turning the river and the sea.

For example, Chu Xiuwen, who had lunch with Zicheng and Chu Xiaoting at the "Youlong Hotel", didn't take it seriously when he heard the two young people talking about the "Montamira Cthulhu incident" uploaded on the Internet, but when he heard the description of "eight arms, eight eyes, and a giant like a mountain", he was like an electric shock and froze.
