Chapter 752: Intense ReactionTranslator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

In The Pentagon, Secretary of Defense Edward let out a long breath. “Have the television signals been cut off? Good. Send people to ABC immediately and inform all other mass media that I don’t want to see any related reports.

“Pay attention to the internet as well. Block off all related information and videos. Get someone to contact Twitter 1 , Facebook 2 , and all the other major websites. Push the blame for everything that happened on the show onto special effects.”

While he was giving out orders after orders, a military officer walked in and said, “Sir, there’s a call from the Radiant Congress.”

Edward’s gaze narrowed, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

A call from the Radiant Congress… This could be one of the calls in his life which he did not want to pick up the most. It was because each time he picked up a call from them, he would face an unprecedentedly great problem.

…

Elsewhere, Fang Xingjian and Catherine walked out of the broadcasting company’s building together. Behind them, there were countless employees who held them in awe and veneration. These people had witnessed the existence of supernatural powers today.

Catherine said, “The government has cut off the television signals. Their reaction is more intense than we expected.”

“What about the internet?” Fang Xingjian asked.

Catherine smiled bitterly and said, “Although it’s still being disseminated, most people probably doesn’t believe it at all. The people who downloaded the sword technique’s cultivation method merely took a look at it. No one is cultivating it seriously.”

Fang Xingjian had expected this. He raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky, saying calmly, “Don’t worry. Give it three days to warm up. Three days later, everyone will be fighting to cultivate this set of sword technique.”

Of course, Fang Xingjian knew that the spread of his influence in the United States would be far from enough just by relying on online videos and the television, let alone if he was looking at covering the entire Earth. Moreover, the government’s reaction was even more intense than he had expected. However, Fang Xingjian had planned out a counter to this.

The information on the sword technique disseminated through the television, videos, and the internet were just warming up. This was just the beginning.

…

Thereafter, although Fang Xingjian’s video was blocked off on the internet, it was like any other videos which had been blocked off. The television show was still being widely disseminated.

Many forums and countless users of the internet were debating over whether the scene in the video was real.

The video was even sent out to Asia, Europe, and Africa, giving rise to a even wider range of debates. In less than 12 hours, this topic had became the hottest news.

“Id*ot, how can this video possibly be real? Do you guys really think that superpowers exist? He even tore down the entire building… You must have been reading too many Marvel comics 3 .”

Someone immediately retaliated, “I was next to the broadcasting company on that day. I saw the entire process of the studio being dismantled.”

“There are too many ret*rds around. I haven’t even said that the superpower user is me.”

Someone posted a photo of the scene and added on, “I’m a staff working at ABC. This was a photo I took then. Superpowers really do exist in our world.”

Looking at the photo that was posted and seeing the flying walls and empty building, someone exclaimed in surprise and shock, “The video is real? Superpowers really do exist?”

However, very soon, even more internet ghostwriters 4 started to criticize on the authenticity of the photo.

“This looks too fake. It’s clearly edited.

“The rendering effect is too much. Even the shadows are distorted.”

Someone even edited out the video into segments of one second each, bringing up all sorts of reason why it was impossible for it to be real.

After all, the existence of superpowers was not commonsensical to most people in the modern society. It was against common perceptions. If they were to admit the existence of superpowers, they would probably have to either see it with their own eyes or get their hands on extremely realistic evidence. Otherwise, after seeing the video, most people would suspect that it had been produced with computer-generated special effects.

Moreover, the United States’ government had also hired internet ghostwriters to create disruptions, causing the authenticity of the show and the video to plunge further.

Despite all these, there was still a small group of people who insisted that the video was real and that superpowers existed.

However, very soon after, someone found new evidence.

“Why are you guys still fighting over this? ABC has released an announcement that the show is a preview for their new drama, ‘Superpowers’.”
