Not a single person dared to publish this!
Nobody was daring enough!
Although journalists loved publishing shocking news, doing so would result in offending one of Jianghe City’s largest forces, punching a ticket to an early death. Nobody dared to do so. This matter needed to be verified before anyone could decide whether or not to publish it. If it turned out to be false, the gains they would’ve obtained would have been a fraction of the potential losses.
After ten minutes, the same message was posted in various online forums. It was as if the sender had noticed that not a single journalist had broken the news.
The contents of the message once again sent a shock through its recipients.
During the period of time where the flock of blue dream butterflies had flown through the sky, countless rumors had broken out. Through the hundreds of forums it had been posted to, the millions of people who had seen the message had become enraged. If the contents of the message were true, this was unforgivable.
The contents of the message possessed several flaws. For example, how could blue dream butterflies possibly could control millions of people? However, that didn’t prevent people from forming their own theories. Someone soon shared their own take on this issue. He theorized that the blue dream butterflies were a stepping stone in research. When the final product was ready, bewitching control would then be used on people. The whole city would become puppets under the Sun family’s control.
If a simple rumor was capable of impacting the large groups in Jianghe City, they would have already ceased to exist.
After the message had been posted, the majority of people simply thought of it as a smear campaign aimed towards the Sun family. This especially applied to the heads of large groups, who merely ignored the message. Conspiracies such as this would occasionally rise from time to time, forcing major groups to respond. The rumors would usually disappear after several hours.
Such matters were not worth their time of day.
However, when reporters rushed to the location written in the message, they discovered that there truly was an underground laboratory!
It was true!
The contents of the message were true!
On the floor, countless of dead researchers could be seen along with the middle aged man. After investigation, they discovered that this man’s ability was that of a powerful bewitching control esper!
It was even professional variant level, much stronger than that of a beginner variant esper!
Even if one didn’t consider this information to be newsworthy, there was still one more matter that had yet to be resolved. After the reporters checked the identities of the various researchers, they were shocked to discover that one of them turned out to be Sun Yaotian!
It was the Sun Family Group Corporation’s first successor, Sun Yaotian!
He had turned out to be a researcher here!
Sun Yaotian’s appearance stunned the world of journalism. Countless people took videos and pictures as evidence, spreading them throughout major forums and news sites.
At this point, the rumor finally took off.
In just ten minutes, the amount of traffic had exceeded ten million!
Penguin Corporation’s communication software, responsible for the broadcast, quickly spread across the globe. This matter attracted attention from everyone.
Attempting to control all of Jianghe City?
Bewitching control ability?
Jianghe City, along with many others which had received the news, immediately checked their respective espers that possessed the bewitching control ability.
If Jianghe City had this issue, wouldn’t other cities as well?
It didn’t matter whether this information was true or false, as long as the possibility existed. A grand cleaning campaign began. Every esper with a bewitching control ability was subjected to government surveillance and supervision. As for rebels or those with criminal records, the government immediately imprisoned them and forcefully controlled them.
Su Hao would have never imagined that the conspiracy that he had put into motion would envelop the entire planet!
In Jianghe City, within the headquarters of Sun Family Group Corporation, Sun Batian gloomily listened to a report.
“Hong!”
Sun Batian stood up. The marble floor had shattered into pieces. Sun Batian was at his limit, forcibly withholding his anger.
“For such a long time, nobody dared to touch my Sun family.” Sun Batian said in a deep voice. His low tone scared the wits out of his secretary. Breaking out in a cold sweat, he stood there motionless, not daring to speak.
“Have you found the person who spread the rumor?” Sun Batian calmly asked.
The secretary swallowed his saliva, “Chairman, we haven’t found them. We tracked the IP address and found out that it was forwarded from an Internet cafe. When I sent someone over, they found nothing but an empty chair and an automated program. Nobody was seated there.”
