Chapter 1054 The Hateful Aspects of a Pitiful Person

Li Jiaming and others probably never dreamed that their live stream, which they started under the guise of verifying the truth in order to gain popularity and traffic, would eventually become the most powerful evidence for the official response.

Many people who initially thought the whole thing was absurd found the recording of Li Jiaming's live stream through the directions of kind netizens.

After watching the entire live stream, many people fell silent.

Some people chose to believe, expressing gratitude to the authorities while also feeling both relieved and apprehensive.

I'm so glad I listened to the instructions and stayed home. I'm terrified that I almost had a close call with death.

Some people still choose not to believe it, thinking that the video can be fabricated and that it's all just a script designed by the other party to make them famous.

The best evidence is that the live stream was interrupted for a period of time, which happened to be the time when the ghost appeared and killed people.

They don't believe ghosts really exist unless they capture footage of ghosts committing crimes.

Others also chose to believe, harboring fear, yet still venting their resentment on the person who issued the notice.

[Shouldn't the authorities be held responsible for so many deaths? Knowing that ghosts exist, knowing that last night was dangerous, why didn't they inform us? Watching so many people die unknowingly, don't you have family, friends, parents, or children? How can you do something like this? Do you even have a heart?]

【Exactly! A child next door ran out in the middle of the night and died. He was their only child, and they're devastated right now, wishing their whole family had gone with him. If you had just communicated more clearly, these tragedies could have been completely avoided. I had something to do last night and was planning to go out, but I had a stomachache and didn't go out. Thinking about it now, it's terrifying. What were the people in charge of this doing? So many people are dying; you're all involved, you're all accomplices!】

Some people who originally didn't want to think this was outrageous, needed some time to process it, and weren't planning to comment on it, almost laughed out of anger when they saw these comments.

I don't care about digesting this right now; I'm going to pick up my keyboard and show these people why the flowers are so red.

[After reading some of these comments, I was both angry and amused. That's why it's said that doing official work is difficult. If you're too explicit, you're accused of creating panic; if you're subtle, you're accused of being heartless and have your ancestors insulted. Before these trashy keyboard warriors start cursing, why don't they consider whether their own ancestors can withstand such insults? Oh, I forgot, these people don't even have mothers, so how could they possibly have ancestors?]

[Hilarious! They say people aren't responsible? I'd say they're far too responsible. Just two or three days ago, community workers went door-to-door telling residents not to go out last night, not to go out at all. Some communities even hired property management staff to block the gates, all to keep people from leaving. And what happened? Some people were practically begging to go out and die; they couldn't be stopped. What could they do?]

[Haha, these people are all saints, they can't stand seeing people die, but they don't want to die in their place, so they can only be generous with other people's money and criticize others for not dying instead of taking their place since they all knew they would die. This was emphasized repeatedly three days ago, and everyone knows last night was the Ghost Festival. Anyone with a brain knows the significance of this notice, yet some people insisted on going out to show off their intelligence and die, and then blame others for not keeping them at home and preventing them from going to their deaths. It's truly laughable.]

[The neighbor next door had someone die, so I came out for a walk. I'm just curious about one thing: how old was that child? I glanced at the list of victims, and the youngest was an adult. An adult child, a giant baby? As an adult, one has their own judgment; as the parent of that adult, one should have even more judgment.]

He ignored warnings and ran out to his death, and his family didn't stop him. It's nobody's fault but his family's; don't drag others into it. You escaped death because you weren't feeling well and didn't go out—that's a blessing from your ancestors. He ignored everything and ran out to die; he deserved it!

That's the logic, but some people feel that the dead should be respected, and since the person is dead, there's no need to be so harsh and unpleasant.

But soon someone dug up the identity of the deceased, along with the neighbor who spoke out for him.

[I saw people arguing in the building, and the more I read the description, the more it sounded like the residents in the building next to mine. I checked, and it really was! This family's troubles have spread throughout the whole neighborhood, and yet they still defend them. Tsk tsk tsk, it just goes to show that birds of a feather flock together. From now on, my family and I will definitely avoid people like this.]

Many people's curiosity was piqued when they saw that his explanation was vague, and they rushed to his comments section to ask him more questions.

After being bombarded with questions for a while, this person finally couldn't suppress their urge to complain and compiled the whole story, posting it online.

It turns out that the child in this family is in his early twenties and has just graduated from university. He originally planned to find a decent job after graduation through a relative's introduction.

But who could have imagined that his and his family's well-thought-out plan would be disrupted by the spiritual revival before it could be implemented?

Now, that relative not only failed to get him a job at the company, but he himself almost got laid off.

The plan fell through, and this person stayed at home for almost half a year after graduating.

For the past six months, he has not thought about finding another way out, or about earning a living by finding another job. He has not resented the mutated plants and animals that caused him to suffer this fate. He only resents his untrustworthy relatives and officials.

He resented his relatives' incompetence, the social unrest, and even more so the incompetence of those in power who failed to eliminate the plants and animals in time to bring everything back on track.

He naively believed that it was the incompetence of these people that caused him to lose his job and his future, and that his life was ruined—it was all someone else's fault.

He vented his resentment and dissatisfaction in public on more than one occasion, to the point that many people regarded him as crazy and spontaneously distanced themselves from him.

Because of this inexplicable hatred, after receiving the notification, he not only disregarded it but also insisted on doing the opposite.

Since he's not allowed to go out, he'll definitely go out.

The whistleblower also said that this person was the only child in the family, and the elders had always doted on him since he was a child. They tried to persuade him a couple of times, but when they saw that he wouldn't listen, they stopped talking and let him be.

Unexpectedly, this one act of leniency led to the other party never returning.

[Initially, I also felt that respecting the dead was the best course of action. Although this person was brainless and acted recklessly, he's already dead, so there's no point in saying anything more. But considering what this family did afterward, and seeing this online attempt to whitewash him and smear his staff by omitting details and taking things out of context, I'm truly disgusted and have to speak out.]
