chapter 267: the fastest world of chaos
"who's near the government building? what happened to the ghost king? was he annihilated by the bright light formation?"
"i'm nearby. after clashing with the bright light formation, the ghost king seems to have been injured and fled towards the south of the city. he's likely hiding to heal."
"i'm in the south of the city and can't sense the ghost king's presence. either he's taken refuge in an extremely yin place or he's possessed a mortal."
"an injured ghost king is still beyond our capabilities. let's all rest for now. wait for the elders from our families to arrive before dealing with the ghost king. didn't a few enter the hospital? let's focus on them!"
"agreed."
"agreed."
...
tongshan city's first hospital.
in a single-patient room.
a young man with a bleeding spleen, hooked up to an iv drip, lay on the bed scrolling through his phone, trying to understand the world and deduce its main storyline. while scrolling, he muttered, "confession, how did i randomly get such an unlucky keyword? how many people do i have to confess to in order to boost my attributes?
confess to the whole world?
confession could mean a declaration or an announcement. confessing to the whole world could indeed skyrocket my attributes, but someone has to respond to me first!"
"don't panic, don't panic. there must be a solution." the boy continued to scroll through his phone, reassuring himself, "think about du ge. he even turned a keyword like 'happiness' into something spectacular. there's no reason i can't make 'confession' work. if i had known it was 'confession,' i would've possessed a celebrity right away."
as if by telepathy, just as he mentioned celebrities, a news page popped up on his phone: "popular young actor cheng yu suffers box office failure and seems to have lashed out on social media, flaunting his wealth and mocking his fans as poor ghosts."
the boy casually clicked on the trending news.
just moments later, his eyes widened: "damn, such a stark contrast before and after, this one must have been possessed! the keyword is 'mockery'? do they want to make it impossible to live? starting off with such a big move?"
he swallowed: "no, this simulation field only lasts for two and a half months. if i don't quickly boost my attributes, it's over! du ge always finishes the simulation field within a month..."
he couldn't bother with the news anymore.
the boy opened his messaging app like lightning, selected everyone in his contact list, and composed a message: "i've been secretly watching you for a long time. i like to see you cry, see you laugh, and watch you walk. when i close my eyes, my heart is full of you. i can't hold back anymore. today, i want to confess to you. will you be my girlfriend? i will love you wholeheartedly for the rest of my life!"
after editing, he sent it out in a mass message.
listening to the ding-dong of incoming messages and feeling his rapidly healing body, the boy chuckled: "this world, here i come."
then, he opened the game he was playing and sent the confession message to his gaming buddies.
...
du ge's manager, zhao hongmei, made several calls to put out fires.
but when she finally took a breath and checked the trending topics again, her eyes widened in shock: "li yao has gone mad too, cursing fans at this time to share the heat with you?"
du ge was also constantly checking his phone, refreshing the news.
"a citizen of puchuan city suspected of mutation, hacked and killed dozens of pedestrians on the street, took several gunshots without injury, then killed and injured several police officers, seized their firearms, and was killed on the spot by a masked hero."
"a web celebrity openly abused her pet cat during a live broadcast, causing public outrage."
"popular actress li yao insults fans on social media, saying they are worse than dog shit..."
...
du ge scrolled through the news, his eyebrows gradually raising, "goodness, a bunch of people with no logic at all, not even understanding the world's structure, and just blindly boosting attributes!
i came here to acquire skills, what are you trying to do?
a one-day tour of the simulation field?
with such chaos, it'd be strange if you were chosen for the alien star battlefield..."
"xiao yu, the company has decided to arrange a role for you, something like being a victim of cyberbullying. remember, the statement you just posted is a line of dialogue, not meant to offend anyone, just practicing for a new role. got it?" zhao hongmei looked at du ge seriously, "the company will hold a press conference tomorrow. remember to cooperate and don't be willful, okay?"
"sure." du ge nodded indifferently. once the heat had risen, these cover-up actions were already ineffective, with plenty of people ready to kick him while he was down.
as long as he continued to post discriminatory remarks, his attributes would keep growing endlessly.
"thankfully, li yao helped you share the heat, otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to suppress this." zhao hongmei looked at du ge and sighed, "xiao yu, what got into you just now?"
"i might have been cursed." du ge said.
"what?" zhao hongmei was stunned.
du ge showed the news of the hero killing the candidate to zhao hongmei: "do you remember when daoist priest suwen's jade pendant suddenly shattered? i didn't believe in those supernatural things before, but seeing this news, i believe it. i remember i didn't touch the pendant, and then it broke, and then i posted that strange tweet. do you think that's a coincidence? sister zhao, someone's scheming against me."
"..." zhao hongmei's expression suddenly became grave.
"if we don't find the person behind this, similar incidents might happen." du ge frowned deeply, "i felt like i wasn't myself at that moment. sister zhao, we should go see daoist priest suwen, otherwise, i'm afraid something will happen at tomorrow's press conference..."
