Chapter 715: Public Opinion Erupts!
After the four of them walked out of the bar, they went straight back to the inn, the dense fog on the street was about to dissipate, and the terrifying scenes of those stumps and broken arms had been dealt with by the nine departments in the first time.
It's just that the thick smell of blood in the air and the dark red color on the bluestone pavement are difficult to get rid of for a while.
Moreover, as speculated, it is impossible to completely cover up.
After a night of fermentation, the news of the death of 16 tourists in the old town of Lijiang swept the country.
Yes, the sixteen people were far more than the real number of casualties, and many were tried to hide it, after all, this matter is too sensitive to make it impossible to make the whole truth public.
The eerie grey fog has been described as a special weather phenomenon, and many experts have appeared on television, in newspapers and in interviews with various networks, confirming that the grey fog contains a large amount of dust particles that can cause human allergies.
This particle is extremely rare, and the sixteen tourists who died happened to be very sensitive to this particle physique, so they suffered misfortune after being exposed to the dense fog.
Public opinion is overwhelming in an instant, and the Internet has almost been overturned by various speculations and discussions.
Tourists in Lijiang fled almost immediately, and although experts vowed that this bizarre weather phenomenon would be rare in a century, the old town of Lijiang was empty within two days.
Even most of the original merchants and residents have fled to nearby cities.
The Lijiang travel plan of the remaining four people was naturally put on hold.
However, the four of them did not leave immediately, because Yu Shu went to Lijiang Jiubu to cooperate with the investigation of the specific situation in the demon fog that night.
After all, he was a newcomer who had already become famous in the spirit hunting world, and the rest of the inquiry was personally handled by Ma Hanshuang, the person in charge of the Lijiang Ninth Department.
In Ma Hanshuang's office, Yu Shu sat quietly on the sofa.
I saw Ma Hanshuang bring a cup of iced coffee and put it in front of Yu Shu, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, and I've been so busy for the past two days that I feel like my feet don't touch the ground." ”
"Understood. ”
Yu Shu looked at Ma Hanshuang's slightly frowning brow with some sympathy, and said, "Public opinion has exploded, you are under a lot of pressure, right?"
"yes. ”
Ma Hanshuang nodded and sighed softly, "The matter is too big, and there are too many witnesses, so it's impossible to hide it completely." Although they have tried their best to suppress it, there are still many people on the Internet who do not believe the official statement, and more importantly, ......"
Ma Hanshuang paused, and then continued: "The above has already intended to make the truth of the Spirit Hunting Realm public, so the control of public opinion on this incident can be relaxed a little, which can be regarded as a test before the truth is announced." ”
"Understood. ”
Yu Shu repeated it again, but there was still a hint of worry between his eyebrows.
Although the above has been prepared, and even started the arrangement a long time in advance, so that the public can slowly adapt to and accept more and more supernatural phenomena and events, it is still far from the actual right time to make an announcement.
Of course, there's no real right time for something like this.
Because no matter when it is announced, it will definitely cause large-scale shock and panic. After all, this is something that completely destroys the worldview......
Yu Shu rubbed his eyebrows and didn't think about it anymore.
Anyway, the matter of Lijiang Jiubu is just a small temptation, and it is still very early from the day it is actually announced, so there is no need to worry in advance.
Ma Hanshuang took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, threw one to Yu Shu, lit it himself, and then said, "Can you tell me more about the situation in the demon fog last night?"
"Yes. ”
Yu Shu nodded, and talked about everything in detail from the time he found the strange gray mist in the bar, all the way to the encounter with Ma Hanshuang.
In the end, Yu Shu said: "The girl who slaughtered the flower-backed spider should be from the Yuwen family in the northwest, ten miles is not bad, I see that you are a little understaffed now, in fact, you can try to invite her to join the nine departments." ”
"I tried, but she didn't agree. ”
Speaking of this, Ma Hanshuang's eyes became a little strange when he looked at Yu Shu, "She said that she was going to join the Razor Branch. ”
"Ugh. ”
Yu Shu was slightly stunned, then grinned bitterly, and touched his head helplessly.
That beautiful woman of the Yuwen family with the spiritual power of the cutting attribute is also my fan?
Tsk, man, it's really distressing to be too charming.
Ma Hanshuang smoked a cigarette, and after a pause, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Yu, I don't know what your next itinerary is?"
"Huh?"
Yu Shu was slightly stunned, and immediately guessed Ma Hanshuang's thoughts, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "I originally planned to travel to Lijiang, but this kind of thing happened, and it was obvious that there was no way to continue playing, so if nothing else, I would set off directly with my friends to the next stop." ”
"That's ......"
Ma Hanshuang groaned, looking a little hesitant and embarrassed, but finally spoke: "If ...... If you are not in a hurry, can you stay in Lijiang for two more days?"
"You want me to stay and help, right?"
Yu Shu smiled and spread his hands, "Director Ma, let's be honest, after the previous battle with Fei, he lost his spiritual power inexplicably, and he hasn't replied yet." So even if I want to help, I'm afraid I'm powerless. ”
"I know about it. ”
Ma Hanshuang nodded and said softly: "Actually, if there is no way, I don't want to trouble Mr. Yu, it's just that there are really not enough people these days, and although Mr. Yu has no spiritual power, he still has A-level strength spiritual sense, and we ...... now." What is lacking is a master with strong spiritual sense, so ......"
Ma Hanshuang paused for a moment, and hurriedly continued: "Of course, I will definitely not let you help in vain. I will hire Mr. Yu as the honorary deputy director of our Lijiang branch of the ninth department, and at the same time, there will be a subsidy of more than one million, and ...... Isn't Mr. Yu's spiritual power lost and cannot be recovered?"
Speaking of this, I saw Ma Hanshuang take out a wooden box from his arms and gently push it in front of Yu Shu, "I don't know if this thing is useful to Mr. Yu?"
Yu Shu opened the box with some curiosity, only to see a fist-sized stone lying quietly inside.
The stone was black and unremarkable, like a mountain rock that could be found everywhere on the roadside.
But the weight in the hand is extremely heavy, and it exudes a faint coolness.
As soon as Yu Shu's palm came into contact with the stone, his body suddenly shook slightly, and the ordinary stone in his hand suddenly emitted a white light.
Immediately after, an extremely pure spiritual power burst out from the stone and poured straight into Yu Shu's body.
"It's ......"
Yu Shu's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the glowing black stone in his hand in a daze, and his heart was extremely surprised.
