The casualties had been confirmed. There were more than three thousand dead and more than ten thousand injured.
"Bastard! What is he trying to do! "You Xin gritted his teeth.
You Xin had personally confirmed that this was not a sentence that should have been on the manuscript.
"When I heard that sentence, I felt that it was out of place. The content of that sentence was something that no one would normally talk about. If one did not see or hear it, no one would have thought of it, "You Xin said.
Hua Yin said, "Then there is no doubt that this is the fire. It was purposely spread by the ether!"
The script should not have had that sentence. You Xin could clearly feel that there was a discrepancy between the two sentences. The sentence that triggered the effect had been purposely written by someone. The host was also a fool to have read it smoothly.
Since it was just a sentence, it was a sentence that would ignite anyone who thought of it.
Then there was no doubt that the so-called fire was just a piece of paper or a piece of parchment that recorded the sentence. It might even be kept in one's memory. When it was used, the memory would be unlocked.
The way to spread it was even simpler. One just had to let people read or see it.
Unless one was illiterate, one would automatically go through the sentence in one's mind and ignite it.
Those who remembered the sentence did not realize that it would ignite them. It was easy for them to be distracted by other things. After the fire was extinguished, they would not think about the sentence again and would not relapse.
On the other hand, people like You Xin who kept thinking about it would relapse.
"If this thing is spread, the damage will be too great. He just casually printed this sentence on a script and it directly caused so many casualties. If it is deliberately spread everywhere, how bad will it be? "Hua Yin said angrily.
You Xin said, "He can't run away. Leave it to Mo Qiong and the others. Anyway, let's first destroy all the sources of the spread and seal all the memories of the victims. "
Hua Yin said, "To seal the memories, it must go through the mind of the sealer. In other words, we have to mobilize a large number of hypnotists to seal the memories of the sentence after sealing the victims."
Only those who were skilled enough to hypnotize themselves would be able to spread the sentence to themselves.
Otherwise, if he saved someone else, he would become the new victim.
After that, Hanayin went to preside over the rescue work. You Xin stayed at the TV station because of his severe burns. He collected all the media that could possibly have recorded that sentence. He also wanted to find out who changed the script.
"It really is ether."
Through the surveillance cameras outside the office, You Xin discovered that the staff responsible for the press release appeared in two different surveillance cameras at the same time.
In other words, one of them was a disguise.
"Even stealth is useless." You Xin looked at all the cameras and reconstructed the whole process of the target sneaking into the television station.
Instead of sneaking in, it would be more accurate to say that he had swaggered in disguised as a staff member.
He came out a few minutes after entering the office. One could imagine that he had already prepared something like a seal. He found the script for the live broadcast that afternoon, found the end of a paragraph, and printed the sentence.
"Hmm? He didn't leave the television station? "
You Xin kept switching between the surveillance cameras and realized that the man disguised as a copywriter had entered another broadcasting room on the fourteenth floor after a few turns.
"What is this broadcasting room for?!" You Xin stood up abruptly. He didn't care that his burned skin was torn open. He anxiously asked the staff member beside him.
The staff member worked at the TV station. He looked at the screen and thought for a moment before saying, "This is the studio of the emergency broadcast team."
"Emergency broadcast team?" You Xin asked anxiously.
"That's right. Because everyone in the previous studio had self-immolated, this studio cut off the live broadcast and switched it to commercials. According to the normal procedure, the backup program for the emergency broadcast will be played next … "
"Didn't I say to stop all the programs?" You Xin said angrily.
The staff member turned on the TV and said, "We've already sent people to stop all the broadcasting rooms and order the entire station to stop broadcasting. Now, it should be … "
On the TV, the station that should have stopped broadcasting was still broadcasting a program.
It was an adult program that shouldn't be broadcast for free at this time.
Clearly, something had happened to the staff who went to stop the broadcast.
"Not good!" You Xin immediately rushed out of the door and ran straight for the stairs. Halfway through, he felt that climbing the stairs was too slow, so he jumped out of the window.
Outside the TV station building, he kept stepping on the air. Every step he took created blurry ripples in the air.
In a short while, he rushed to the fourteenth floor and broke through the window.
"The ratings have reached 1%. Continue to increase the intensity," the copywriter said calmly in the room.
He was holding a gun and pointing it at a female host. The woman was forced to do a striptease in the emergency program.
She was so embarrassed that she wanted to die, but she didn't have the courage to resist the person in front of her.
Because in the broadcasting room, there were corpses everywhere. All the original staff members had been burned into charred corpses. Among the corpses, there were even staff members.
On the computer at the side, the ratings were increasing rapidly.
During the prime time, it would be strange if the ratings didn't soar when the host was doing a hot dance live on stage.
Hearing the sound of the window glass shattering, the female host trembled and stopped dancing.
But this time, the criminal didn't scold her when she stopped.
That person didn't even turn his head. As if he knew who had barged in, he directly pressed the enter key on the computer at the side.
Immediately, the live broadcast changed again. All the viewers in front of the TV who were attracted by the hot dance saw a picture of an apple.
"Damn it!" You Xin barged in and threw a punch with great force.
"Bam!" With a dull sound, the punch landed on the person's back, breaking his spine and causing him to vomit blood.
With just one punch, the person was paralyzed and fell to the ground, twitching.
After confirming that the person was just an ordinary person and didn't have much fighting power, You Xin immediately operated the machine and switched the screen back to the broadcasting room.
But without a doubt, it was too late. The picture of the apple had been shown to countless people.
"Pfft …" The person's face was pale as he vomited blood. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have to do this …"
After You Xin cut off all the signals, he threw a piece of clothing to the female host and squatted down to give her an injection.
Then, he questioned, "Do you know what you're doing?!"
Because of the injection, the person was instantly energized, but he said with a pained expression, "I don't know why I'm doing this. Perhaps, this apple will cause more people to die. It's just like that sentence … "
"I'm sorry for the people who will die because of this. Kill me, I'll go to hell."
You Xin gritted his teeth. This person was just like Klaus, someone who was lured or coerced into becoming a pawn of the aether.
Perhaps it was because he was promised to revive a loved one, or he was promised to save a dying relative, or he was held hostage at his weakest point.
In any case, such people could be found as long as one was careful enough in a big city.
There were countless people who dared to do anything for money, let alone some more magical and unbelievable promises.
As long as the aether showed some extraordinary and abnormal power, combined with strong psychological suggestions, there would be people who would be willing to believe in him and sacrifice their lives.
You Xin didn't kill him. He continued to ask, "Where is he? What did he do to you? "
"I don't know where he is now. I only know that when I successfully spread this, my brother will wake up," the person said guiltily.
Under You Xin's questioning, he found out that the person's brother was in a vegetative state, and the reason was that he, as the brother, had made a joke that led to an accident.
Because of this, he lived in pain and guilt until the aether appeared.
That mysterious man used magical power to make him talk to his brother's soul and then claimed that he could cure his brother.
Therefore, he dared to do anything for his brother.
You Xin said coldly, "Idiot, he doesn't have the ability to wake up a vegetative state. You've been tricked. And for your brother, you've killed more than 3,000 people! "
The person was silent. Perhaps he had been tricked.
The aether gave him a recording pen, a seal, and a picture of an apple.
As long as he plugged his ears and played the recording, he could burn the people around him. That was a terrifying power.
He knew exactly what he was doing. Although he was conflicted and in pain, for his brother, he didn't care.
It had to be said that the aether was good at finding such a lunatic among the masses.
