Because the misfortune of last year has not been completely taken away, the New Year will arrive earlier this year.

Year after year, the Nian beast will eventually lose control! Unable to control its own reason, it will have no choice but to save itself by releasing some of the misfortunes it cannot bear.

This explains why there have been so many bizarre, almost prank-like explosions this time.

"So, what do we do now?!"

Hearing Hu Da's analysis, Hu Yue felt it made sense, but how should she solve the problem now?!

If you do the math, there are still five or six days until Chinese New Year. And remember, there's a ban on fireworks when listing on the stock exchange! We can't just let the whole city suddenly start setting off fireworks everywhere now, can we?!

"If we can't solve the problem at its root, all the efforts we're making now are just treating the symptoms, not the root cause." Hu Da was clearly not so optimistic about this matter.

The human world today is not as simple as it used to be.

In a world rife with materialism, the evil within human nature has been amplified to an unacceptable degree. In this northern land, the calamities and negative karma that arise each year are simply terrifying.

So, if you want to successfully send the year off...

Right now, it will definitely not be an easy thing!

Unlike Hu Da's pessimism, Song Mengmeng seemed much more positive.

She genuinely felt that discussing these things now was of little use; the most important thing was to find the Nian beast first, otherwise no one could know whether it would go out of control again!

The fact that there were no casualties in this explosion does not mean that there will be no casualties in the future explosions or accidents!

And just as if to prove Song Mengmeng's guess, after only one day of silence, on the third day, a new round of unexpected accidents began!

This time, however, it wasn't just a prank explosion like before; there were injuries.

On one occasion, the escalator going down in the store suddenly stopped. Customers standing on it were caught off guard and fell forward due to the inertia of the sudden stop. Although no one died, quite a few people were injured!

Next, the sightseeing elevator suddenly plummeted from a great height, severely injuring unsuspecting passengers inside.

In short, if the previous incident was just a prank, the current situation is already sliding into an abyss of chaos!

Finding the Nian beast is the only way to solve the current predicament!

However, in such a large city as the listed company, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to find a Nian beast that can be almost everywhere!

Hu Yue mobilized almost the entire special case team to search in all directions, but apart from the occasional bad news that had unexpectedly occurred, they still managed to find a solution.

The situation is getting increasingly out of control.

On the fourth day, the accidents became increasingly serious, and finally, casualties began to occur!

Just as Song Mengmeng said, the misfortune and evil karma that Nian could not take away began to backfire on the human world! But this is not Nian's fault!

The Nian beast devours and takes away a year's worth of bad luck, but this departure requires a sense of ritual!

In other words, it requires the joint efforts of both sides to achieve the result; it cannot be achieved by relying solely on the efforts of the Nian beast!

Although China celebrates the Lunar New Year every year, compared to the past, many of China's traditional customs and festivals have long been abandoned or forgotten due to the influence of other countries' cultures.

The deities, deprived of worship, gradually fade into memories deep within the ages, and one day, they will vanish forever with the passing of a generation…

"What wrong did the Nian beast do?!"

This time, when faced with Hu Yue's plea for help, Song Mengmeng showed an unprecedented indifference.

She looked at Hu Yue quietly, her eyes filled with a coldness and detachment that made Hu Yue's heart tremble: "You are the ones who stripped the power of the years away, yet you have never lightened its burden!"

It has not forgotten its responsibilities, but you humans have forgotten the contributions you should have made!

Now everything is out of control, and you all think it's all the Nian beast's fault? What makes you think that?!

Song Mengmeng's question immediately stumped Hu Yue.

Yes, what did the Nian beast do wrong?!

These misfortunes and evil deeds are actually all created by humankind itself!

"Then, how can we help the Nian beast take away those out-of-control evil deeds?!" After a brief silence, Hu Yue realized the crux of the problem.

Since the out-of-control problem stems from the evil karma created by humanity itself, the best solution is for humanity to find a way to help the already overburdened Nian beast and successfully take away all this misfortune!

Otherwise, things might only get worse!

"What you once let go of, forgot, and disdained, just go back to it!"

Song Mengmeng glanced at Hu Yue and spoke softly.

After saying this, she didn't stay any longer to spend time with Hu Yue. Instead, she turned around, pulled her scarf over her face, and slowly walked towards the subway station.

Song Mengmeng also knew that at this moment, she was somewhat resentful towards Hu Yue.

Although she knew this wasn't fair to Hu Yue, what did her little grievances matter compared to the pain and torment the Nian beast was currently enduring?

Although the Nian beast has always been called a ferocious beast by humans, this is the greatest slander against her!
