Chapter 189: I Want to Say to the World (I)
It's not just the city that's boiling.
In this era of information explosion, the Internet covers all areas of the earth, and any mobile phone or video can tell the whole world in an instant.
Everything was too sudden, overnight, silently. Even the official media didn't react, and the world was enveloped in this eerie early morning.
After just 20 minutes, the whole world was boiling.
Actually...... This is not some terrible disaster.
No one was hurt this morning, there was no gunfire, no war, and the birds of the sky and the dogs of the earth did not feel any change.
But...... Human beings are confused, they cannot understand the phenomenon in front of them.
Even the words cast in steel can explain it clearly...... But what about those trees? What about the stones?
What did they experience during this night?
What do those paragraphs mean?
Soon, some well-intentioned people discovered the meaning of these words......
Is it the Apostle...... He's fighting!
Magic, perhaps, exists.
And all this is completely inconsistent with the rhetoric of the Ark Group...... So! The Ark Group knows something!
Ark! It's lying!
......
At 7:03 a.m., the Ark Group ...... This huge empire, which stands at the top of human technology, has boiled to the point of almost evaporating in the early morning.
"Conspiracy theories now account for 34% of online comments and are rising at a rate of 1 percentage point every half hour!" A staff member spoke, his voice shaking, his tone only able to remain steady when he was pressed, but it was almost the limit of what he could reach.
At this moment, even in his mind, the strange twisted rock sculpture on the side of the highway kept flashing, two completely different materials of stone, mixed with dirt and leaves, so hard to fuse together.
Those...... Is it magic?
"The largest number of virtual accounts are generated, and the comments are suppressed, and the people send one, and we send ten." An old man with gray hair muttered.
"It's been executed, it doesn't work well......" The sweat on the man's forehead had left on his sideburns.
"What about the video, haven't you deleted it yet?"
"20 minutes ago, the video in question presented an explosion of forwarding and network storage, and we are working hard to remove it, but ...... As long as there are videos or photos in the hands of the people, it is difficult to close them all. ”
"......" fell silent.
"What about the announcement? Haven't figured out a reason yet? ”
"Not yet." The man swallowed: "There are some phenomena that really can't be explained by science...... We were just beginning to prepare to force this phenomenon with new genetic products, but ...... Conflicting with the remarks at yesterday's press conference, I'm afraid...... The darker it gets. ”
"The stock market has fallen by 23 percentage points, so close the market......"
A series of cascading reactions, in just a few hours, evaporated hundreds of billions of money, and the most terrible thing is that public opinion has been uncontrollable.
Finally......
"What about [X]? What about the X? A man seemed to have finally thought of something, and he cried out at the top of his voice.
"There's no way to get in touch yet, because it's always X who takes the initiative to contact us, but we can't find out where he is."
The people in the venue were sweating and trembling.
No one knows how it should end......
And that's when ......
"Zizizizi————" The familiar sound of electricity rang out.
Usually, almost everyone is annoyed by this sound, but at this moment, this piercing sound is like a life-saving straw.
For a second, it feels like a century for these people.
Finally, that screen lit up and the giant X appeared.
"Don't try to control public opinion, now, the best thing to do is to acknowledge the existence of [the apostles]." The voice of [X] sounded softly.
A man seemed to be tormented by a nervous heart and couldn't stand it, and he stood up suddenly: "Acknowledging the existence of [Apostle]? How's that going, that guy...... That guy is simply ......."
"Heh, it's like magic, isn't it?" X chuckled, "yes, actually, from beginning to end, I just wanted to confirm what that guy was, and now, I'm almost sure that [magic] really exists." ”
"No! If you admit it, there will definitely be a panic! The man roared hoarsely.
"Then it depends on how you explain it, in fact, as long as it is defined as a mysterious science and technology that even the Ark Group has not mastered, it is okay to use some academic terms to deceive the public, and then find some so-called scientists, experts, and forge all scientific reviews and magazines for the past 30 years, the citizens will not study the deep science, and then as long as some people's mouths are closed, then after a few months, this matter should have a turnaround."
"A few months? ...... No way...... The ark can't hold such a big loss, and it can't bear it for a day. ”
"If you can't bear it, you have to resist, this is the best way at this stage." X whispered, "If the Ark continues to try to conceal the existence of the [Apostle], then you will lose even more!" ”
The man was speechless, because, yesterday X had said the same thing, and everyone thought she was talking nonsense, but after a few hours, the ark had suffered a cruel blow.
So at this moment, no one dares to question [X] anymore.
"That'...... So what now? What about the apostle, how are we going to catch him? What if he makes some more supernatural phenomena? ”
Of course he would...... Such a good opportunity, how could he not seize it. X said, "If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before this [apostle] will appear, and he will have a head start, and if he is smart enough, he will use it to maximize his 'momentum'!" It can't be helped, because you idiots, we lost the first game. But...... I should be able to move back. ”
Because the voice was processed, no one could hear it, and there was obvious excitement in X's tone.
"However, I have one condition."
"On what terms?" The people in the conference room asked.
[X] sighed softly, "It's useless to say my terms to you guys, because I said yesterday that you are all stupid." If the Ark Group really wants to ask for my help...... So...... I'm going to talk to the board. ”
In the conference room, there was a stunned place.
The astonishment of this group of people is not without reason, because the board of directors of the Ark Group is a real high-level figure, don't look at the people in this conference room are all powerful, but speaking of which, they are just a group of middle-level cadres who are not easy to be fired.
The board of directors is the real voice of the group, and their few words may change the direction of a country's science and technology.
But...... That's all for later.
At this moment, the most worthy of our attention is Lu Yuan......
At this moment, he was sitting in a taxi, and the radio was playing some news on the folk radio about this morning's strange phenomenon, and the wind outside the window was blowing into the back seat, which was very cool.
Lu Yuan's mood seems to be very good, because the skill of [Pull] is not a lethal skill, so he doesn't need to pay too much physical strength, as long as the skill CD is good, he can use it.
And the effect is naturally very good, which can be seen from the public opinion that repeatedly appears on the mobile phone and is suddenly deleted.
Suddenly......
"Here we are." The driver said briefly. The driver's heart is also obviously a little uneasy at this time, and it is no wonder that if you suddenly see a group of people on broomsticks flying overhead, even if they don't chant a spell at you with their wands upright, then your heart will not be at peace.
"Thank you." After Lu Yuan thanked him politely, paid the money, and stepped out of the taxi.
In front of him, however, was a tall building......
On a sign at the entrance of the gate, the words "TV station" were marked.
