Chapter 4: The Various Sects Surrounded by Tourists
Longhu Mountain.
A young Taoist priest rushed into a room in the back of the mountain. Seeing Zhang Lingyu practicing her skills inside, he said with a sigh of relief.
"Junior Uncle, something terrible has happened! There are a lot of tourists gathered at the mountain gate, and they are all clamoring to see the Celestial Master!"
Zhang Lingyu, who has a regular daily routine, was unusually unaware of what had happened, less than a day after Qin Le officially released the video.
Zhang Lingyu hadn't officially watched the video he posted yet, and looking at the flustered young Taoist, she asked in confusion.
"What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"
The young Taoist then remembered his junior uncle's personality; he probably hadn't watched the video online yet!
He hurriedly pulled his phone out of his pocket and handed the video Qin Le posted to Zhang Lingyu.
"Junior Uncle, please take a look! Last night someone posted a video exposing the existence of extraordinary people in the world! This morning, another new video was posted, revealing that extraordinary people also exist in my Longhu Mountain!"
"Now the area outside the mountain gate is full of tourists who want to find the truth!"
Zhang Lingyu took the young Taoist's phone with a solemn expression, and only after watching the video did he realize what had happened.
"This is troublesome," Zhang Lingyu murmured subconsciously.
"I'll go ask my master right away. You go to the mountain gate and maintain order among the tourists. Remember to tell them that there are no supernatural beings, and the videos are all fake!"
"Yes, I understand, Junior Uncle."
As Qin Le's video gained traction, more and more tourists came to the entrance of Longhu Mountain in search of the extraordinary person, crowding the top of Longhu Mountain!
Although Longhu Mountain used to have many tourists every day, most of them were just there to see the scenery and would take a picture at the entrance before leaving.
But today, this group of tourists all gathered in front of the main hall of the Celestial Master's Mansion, shouting that they wanted to see the old Celestial Master.
They were all very curious about what Qin Le said in the video, and whether the old celestial master of Longhu Mountain was really an extraordinary person.
"Let us meet the Old Celestial Master!"
Are you really superhumans?
Are there really Qi cultivators in Longhu Mountain?
A large number of tourists were crowding in front of the gate, and the old master dared not come out at all. He could only lead a few of his disciples to maintain order at the gate.
"Please do not crowd! Disperse quickly, the videos are all fake! We are just ordinary Taoist priests, there are no Qi practitioners on Longhu Mountain."
"Leave quickly!"
Seeing that the tourists showed no signs of leaving, the young Taoist priest in charge of maintaining order was almost in tears.
Junior Uncle! When are you coming?! I can't hold on any longer!
At this moment, some sharp-eyed tourists spotted an elderly Taoist priest walking out of the main hall.
Those who had already searched online immediately recognized the old Taoist priest as Zhang Zhiwei, the contemporary Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, who had been verified online!
"The Celestial Master has arrived!"
Amid cheers from the crowd, the Old Celestial Master officially appeared before everyone.
Faced with tourists seeking the truth, Zhang Zhiwei dared not admit the existence of the supernatural beings without receiving official orders from above.
"Everyone, please stop gathering here. There are no superhumans in the world. We should believe in science. What's being said in that video is all fake. Let's disperse now."
……
Headquarters of Nadutong Company.
Zhao Fangxu slumped wearily in his chair. He hadn't had a moment's rest since Qin Le released the video yesterday.
Qin Le's first video hadn't been completely deleted yet, and a new one has already appeared!
"Everyone, what should we do next? What ideas do you have? The online discussions are getting louder and louder, and we should all think about how to resolve this."
After a night and a morning of fermentation, the information about the supernatural beings not only did not disappear, but instead became increasingly popular as netizens spread it.
To put it bluntly, it's practically impossible to completely delete it now!
Faced with this seemingly unsolvable situation, a bold director suddenly asked a question.
"Can we take this opportunity to directly acknowledge the existence of superhumans to the public? The existence of superhumans cannot remain hidden forever; with the development of technology, they will eventually be known to the public."
Should we acknowledge the existence of superhumans to society?
As a director of Nadutong, Zhao Fangxu has been committed to maintaining stability in the world of supernatural beings for many years.
After so many years of stability, he was suddenly given a surprise yesterday!
Even now, he still can't figure out who has the power to forcibly publish the video on so many platforms.
Even with the efforts of numerous hackers within the company, not a single trace could be found.
"We can't decide whether to acknowledge the Extraordinary Ones; we need the approval of those above us."
"Now you continue to try to stop the situation from spreading further. I'm going to go and explain the situation to someone higher up."
……
At this point, it wasn't just Longhu Mountain, but basically all the major sects, temples, and Taoist monasteries that were well-known in China.
They were almost entirely surrounded by tourists searching for the truth!
Without further instructions from above, all they could do was persuade people to return.
Not only the sects, but even the express delivery stations of Na Du Tong were surrounded by people from all over the country!
In front of a residential compound, a NATTO employee who had just delivered a package was surrounded by a group of residents.
"Hey bro, is it true or not that there are supernatural beings in Na Du Tong?"
Are you an extraordinary person?
"Can you show us your superpowers?!"
This deliveryman is actually just an ordinary delivery worker.
In Na Du Tong, not everyone is an "extraordinary person"; ordinary people still need to be recruited from society to help with receiving and sending packages.
Faced with everyone's questions, the poor deliveryman was about to explode!
"Dear brothers and sisters, I am really not an alien, I don't have any superpowers! I've never even heard of any aliens!"
"Could you please stop surrounding me? I still have packages to deliver! I have so many packages to deliver!"
With a large backlog of undelivered packages and constant inquiries from customers, the deliveryman's patience was about to reach its limit.
Just then, a well-dressed man took out a wad of cash from his pocket and handed it to the deliveryman.
"Brother, I don't have much cash here. Take this first, it will cover your losses today. If it's not enough, I'll transfer the money to you via mobile later. Tell me about your company's situation."
The deliveryman, who was about to get angry, immediately calmed down when he saw the thick wad of RMB in his hand.
This stack of money is estimated to be a few thousand yuan, almost equivalent to half a month's income for him.
The deliveryman immediately beamed and took the money from the man, stuffing it into his pocket.
"That's enough, that's enough! What do you want to hear, sir? I'll tell you right now!"
"Let me tell you, I've actually suspected something's wrong with the company for a long time. There are several areas in the company that explicitly prohibit people like me from entering. Maybe there are superhumans hiding in those areas!"
