Chapter 607: Unreliable Cousin
It's too late to find Hua Hu. I judged that she must have taken advantage of the chaos to take Gu Baotian to other places, after all, she once said that Gu Baotian still buried many words in her heart.
Today, Gu Baotian unexpectedly appeared at the press conference, and repentantly told the truth about the archaeological incident in the West Night in 1993, I think at this moment, the self-media will definitely be blown up again, everyone will see it, and they will hear the distant story, the premeditated murder, and the mysterious ancient city of the Tang Dynasty, the skull of the giant.
If there were no visions from the sky, if it weren't for the phantom of the faceless man haunting the city, leaving behind a pile of sins, then even if Gu Baotian sat there and appeared to say the word, he would be considered a madman's whispering, right?
But now, even if anybody sits there and tells an exaggerated story, I think most citizens will believe it.
Not only will they believe, but they will be afraid, and then they will be instigated, incited, and eventually even form gangs to pray that disaster will not hurt them.
Just like my cousin, he used to be a guy who didn't know anything about it, and he was going around collecting rumors.
I admit that his curiosity was so high that he sometimes went deeper than the police in digging into bizarre events. And with the strange things happening in the past six months, there must be many fans who will be around him like Xuanliang, but I didn't expect him to engage in evil ways, and finally become a "messenger of God" who declares the end of the world.
Even though he robbed me of my name as soon as he was born, and even though he had always been nervous and incompatible with me, I had to find him as soon as possible, warn him, let him change his ways, and let him not put himself on the altar and become a sacrifice to the last evil "evil opinion".
His mobile phone has been shut down, and it looks like he has become the sect leader, and it is estimated that even the number has changed, so I can only go to the place he rented to find the deity.
I vaguely remember that he lived in Shanyang District, rented an old house in a third-tier factory, and this person was surprisingly lazy and never went into the kitchen for half a minute, so he ordered takeout all day long.
I made up my mind, so I said goodbye to Lin Ying, excused myself to find Shen Yu, and then drove straight to the community.
Before I got to the neighborhood, the intersection was so congested that I saw that the map had turned purple and red, so I had to park my car in a parking lot next to it and walk towards it.
The further you go, the more cars and people there are - strange, Shanyang is not a very developed district, and this kind of old community is not a commercial center, could it be that there is something wrong ahead?
But when I turned a street, I found that there was a different scene - if there was an accident, the people would be watching in a disorderly manner, but here the people on both sides of the road were neatly aligned, looking ahead, moving little by little. If I had to draw an analogy, it would be like before a concert, when fans were queuing up to enter.
I saw a kind aunt, so I stepped forward and asked what was going on in front of me and what these people were doing in line.
Unexpectedly, my aunt's face immediately became uncharitable, she glanced at me and said, "You passed by, right?" We are all fans of the Science Society, so let's not wait in line to admire the former residence of the president! β
"President? Which president? β
"O President of the Society! He is...... Phew, you can't call adults by their names. It is the president who has received the oracle and can lead us to wander in the last days! β
I was stunned, and then I reacted: "That's what I wrote?!" β
"What, you're not a member, get out of here!" Auntie's face now is not only not charitable, but also completely vicious, "That's not called, that's a real science classic!"
"Look at the sparkle in the sky, you hear the roar in the clouds, and think about the faceless demons who have been flying off the wall latelyβcan scientists explain it? Can the experts make it clear? No! Only the president understands the true science, only he has received an explanation from God, and only people are merciful and universal to all beings......"
The more my aunt talked, the more excited she became, and the spit stars sprayed me all in the face. I saw that the whole street was full of people like her, for fear that she would make a loud noise, and all the "members" on the street rushed over to spray me, so I quickly pretended to raise my hands in surrender.
"Ahh It's the world-famous president! I'm a journalist and I'm going to preach the truth of science, do you still live in this place? β
I almost wanted to slap my mouth when I said this, but my aunt saw that I was honest, but she became gentle: "People have already moved, this is the place where the enlightenment will be great, and we all came to learn and experience." β
"Do you know where he moved?"
"The whole universe is the president's home, how can we ordinary people know, cut!" My aunt glared at me again.
Yes, I didn't expect the world to become like this in just a few days? I always thought that Lin Ying was very cautious, and they always liked to block news about some things that they didn't figure out. I questioned Lin Ying, and she explained that she was afraid that the news would spread and she would not be able to explain it clearly, which would cause panic among the citizens at that time.
At that time, I was very unimpressed, because I always felt that the more the reasoning became clearer, and openness and transparency would be more reassuring.
"It has to be open and transparent after figuring out the reason," Lin Ying explained, "or if the reporters ask us and we don't know how to answer, the citizens will be more likely to be suspicious, float, and finally taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives." β
Now in the face of this street full of "fans" and "members", I really understand what she said.
People have both independent ideas and a herd mentality, and when a social trend of thought is rampant, it is easy to engulf the emotions of the masses into it, thus forming populism.
Seeing this today, Fang felt that Lin Yingcheng was not deceiving me.
It seems that my cousin is no longer comparable to yesterday, but fortunately he has only obtained the title of "president", and has not yet proclaimed himself any "sect leader" or anything like that. However, this guy's status has changed, and his hiding place must not be made public, right?
Fortunately, Hua Hu is still there, I wonder if I should go back to her first, and then rely on her "sense of smell" in her six abilities to find this cousin, otherwise he will have some kind of "evangelistic meeting" in Luqiao Park tomorrow, in case it really becomes an "evil opinion", it will not be fun to be destroyed by the faceless boy group.
I had just walked a hundred meters back when my phone rang. I took out my phone and found that it was a phone number I didn't recognize.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Stake, you're looking for me, right?" A familiar voice came through the microphone, and it turned out to be my cousin!
"Damn, where are you hiding?! Do you know how big a deal you've gotten into it?! I held up the phone and cursed, attracting sideways glances from passers-by.
"I don't want to! It's hard to put into words! Hurry up, I've finally escaped, and I want to ask you for help! β
"Help? What's wrong with you, where are you? β
"Look across the road! The person in the queue wearing a camouflage hat and toad glasses was me! He whined into the microphone, "Take me away quickly, or you'll live a dark life again!" β
