The hashtag #YuZhong'sFaceRemoval# trended on Weibo, followed by a series of mysterious speculations about Jiang Si.

A blogger with only a few hundred fake followers posted that Jiang Si might actually have some kind of talent.

A junior doctor had a classmate who worked at the hospital where Yu Zhong was being treated. The situation was extremely dangerous; it wasn't as simple as just being told he was out of danger in a few words. The doctors had issued three critical condition notices, and once even declared him dead. But Yu Zhong's heartbeat returned after three minutes.

I later checked the time, and the time he announced his death was exactly the same time Jiang Si posted on Weibo, while his heartbeat was restored three minutes after Jiang Si asked everyone to pray.

Those of you who aren't medical students might not know, but doctors have strict standards for declaring death. In that situation, a death declaration must mean that all vital signs have disappeared; miracles don't happen that easily.

Yu Zhong is very popular, and Jiang Si is also very popular. Blog posts combining the two have appeared in front of many people based on big data algorithms.

Some people questioned:

【No, I only know Jiang Si is skilled in martial arts, but is she now a master charlatan? I advise you not to go too far!】

[Jiang Si did indeed perform a great service, but there's no need to steer the narrative in that direction.]

[Exactly, given Jiang Siyin's situation, the doctors' rescue efforts were the most important; don't easily dismiss the contributions of the medical staff.]

Some people just have a really strong will to survive. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, they've been forbidden from becoming supernatural beings. Can't you stop spreading feudalistic ideas?

[What, is Jiang Si marketing herself not only as a chivalrous hero, but now also as a charlatan?]

With so many people and so much gossip in the hospital, coupled with the large volume of patients, the situation couldn't be kept secret at the time, and soon someone discovered that what the blogger said was true.

[I don't know about the others, but Yu Zhong was indeed declared dead yesterday afternoon at 6:32 PM, and this is all recorded!]

[I can testify that it's true. At that time, all vital signs had disappeared. We used every kind of equipment, but the heartbeat was still flat. Our hospital's top experts were involved in the resuscitation, using whatever was most expensive.]

As a medical professional with many years of experience, I have witnessed miracles, but they are extremely rare. There has only been one person declared dead who came back to life; he was a very kind person, and at the time, many highly respected monks were invited to chant sutras and pray for his recovery.

There are all sorts of random things being said online, and the arguments are raging.

Jiang Si dared not take credit for Yu Zhong's miracle, fearing that if she acquiesced, Heaven would hold her accountable.

These days, living is so hard.

Jiang Si quickly pledged her loyalty by forwarding an article from an official media outlet about the Scientific Outlook on Development, with the caption: "Unswervingly follow the path of the Scientific Outlook on Development. [Strive.JPG]"

Netizen: ...

I don't know what to say, okay, you're beautiful, you're right.

Jiang Si has a good sense of humor.

The more you deny it, the more truth is revealed. Master Jiang, look at me!

【No, do you think I believe that? What does following the path of scientific development have to do with my feudal superstition?】

I don't believe it's really just a coincidence!

Jiang Si had pledged her loyalty and wouldn't care what others said anymore. She saved Yu Zhong purely because his obsession was too strong at the time, and she had successfully captured it.

Let's just say it's fate that brought them together.

Upon arriving at Longchao Mountain, the recording of the program officially began.

That night, the guests rested first, staying at a guesthouse in a small town at the foot of Longchao Mountain.

The town is nestled against Longchao Mountain, from which a small river meanders down. The nearby lower mountains have been transformed into terraced fields. Now, in the golden autumn of September, the golden rice fields ripple in the wind.

In the courtyard of the guesthouse, the director was holding a microphone, introducing the origin of Longchao Mountain and explaining the schedule and rules for tomorrow.

"Longchao Mountain has a treacherous terrain and has always been a strategic location fought over by military strategists. Legend has it that it was an ancient battlefield where two small countries once waged a fierce war. At that time, corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed like rivers, even staining the stream in the town red. It was a truly tragic scene..."

The director has a knack for public speaking, vividly depicting the cruelty of ancient warfare, which Bi Rou, the youngest of the group, couldn't bear at first.

"Director, let's talk this out properly, don't start by scaring people."

The director offered a cold, unfeeling reassurance: "It's okay, you probably won't remember being scared tomorrow."

The comments section was filled with "hahahaha".

The director offered words of comfort, yet it seemed like he didn't.

【Daughter, don't be afraid, Mom is here with you on this side of the camera】

There's no place on this land where people haven't died, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

I don't know if they know, but I've heard that the area is indeed haunted. Some people have encountered ghosts dressed as ancient soldiers on the mountain, asking them for directions and such.

[This is obviously nonsense. Even if ghosts really exist, don't forget we don't speak the same language. If we actually saw one, we wouldn't know what it was saying.]

[Let's talk about basic laws when spreading rumors]

However, this ghost story has indeed been circulating.

Jiang Si didn't see the comments; she looked at the towering mountains ahead. In the darkness, they seemed as tall as man-eating trolls.

The southwest is mountainous, and Longchao Mountain is not a famous mountain or river, but it stretches for a long time and just looking at it makes one feel tired.

"As the saying goes, 'An army marches on its stomach.' Tomorrow, we'll draw lots to divide into two groups for a two-day, one-night survival battle. The group that collects the most supplies and reaches the battleground the fastest will win and be the first to choose their accommodation for the rest of the show." The director smiled. "We'll also set up obstacles along the way. Get some rest tonight, and we look forward to your amazing performances tomorrow."
