Go out for a walk
"One more thing..."
The secretary hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke out, "Lin Wei, the woman who previously exposed Comrade Zhong Ling's negative information online, was found mentally ill in her rental apartment this afternoon and was sent to a mental hospital.
According to the neighbors, she has been repeating the same sentence over and over since noon..."
"What?" Qiao Jianmin asked.
"Don't come to me, I was wrong."
The conference room fell silent again.
After a long time, Zhou Zhenguo stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the clear sky outside.
They have always believed that gods only exist in legends.
But now, the appearance of Zhong Ling proves that the legend is actually a documentary.
The reason why there are legends is because the things described in the legends actually existed and are a distant and unknown part of history.
…
Life goes on, but the topic of discussion is always about that oriental woman.
A man put down his financial newspaper and said to his companion, "I dreamed of her last night. She said three words to me - buy soybeans."
His companion rolled his eyes. "Then you'd better go buy it quickly. What if it's an oracle?"
At the Academy of Art, an old professor was sitting at the podium, analyzing the composition of the golden rune in front of a group of students.
In China, the square dance aunties have even choreographed a dance called "Miracles Coming". The first move is to imitate Zhong Ling's movements of drawing talismans in the air. It is said to strengthen the body and ward off evil spirits.
Eventually, people's worship of Zhong Ling converged in two places.
The first one is Zhong Ling’s online store - “Delicious Vegetable Shop”.
This online store has now become a cyber pilgrimage site for netizens around the world.
Those who can’t buy anything express their respect in another way.
The number of messages in the comment section has exceeded one million and is still growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This place has become a wishing well for people.
"God Zhong, I wish to be a vegetarian for the rest of my life. Please bless me to pass the sixth level this time!"
"[User from Country M]: I apologize for our foolish behavior. Also, can you use the Truth Charm to ask my girlfriend where she got those fifty expensive bags? I feel like I'm losing my mind."
"[User from Country E]: I suggest you don't do that. Some truths are better left unseen. I just humbly ask for a cucumber."
"I'm reporting this! My boss is bald. He secretly bought a wig and lied to us that his hair is naturally thick! I beg for punishment from the Lord of the Bell!"
"Forward, please don't bother Master Zhong with such trivial matters as your boss's. I just came here to clock in and breathe in the immortal spirit. I feel refreshed."
"Don't bother me anymore.jpg"
More than a dozen languages, mixed with various homemade emoticons and internet memes, turned the original product comment area into a global carnival.
The other place is Yunxi Village.
Although the authorities had blocked the entire village with barbed wire and checkpoints early on, this was unable to stop people from coming from all over the world.
The small road leading to Yunxi Village is now more crowded than the famous tourist attractions.
It has also become the world's number one internet celebrity check-in spot.
Foreign tourists held up selfie sticks and excitedly took photos with the warning signs.
The internet celebrity started a live broadcast directly outside the blockade, with the title - "Risping my life to visit the hometown of Master Zhong, I am only one step away from the truth!"
Village chief Wang Jianguo has been living a life that has been both painful and sweet recently.
Every day he stood on the roof of the village committee's bungalow with his hands on his hips, looking at the dark crowd outside and sighing with worry.
"What kind of trouble is this!" He complained to the village party secretary, Lao Yang, who was standing next to him. "Although the government sends us supplies every day, we can't afford to delay the work in the fields!
Besides, these people are blocking the door every day, and it won’t be a problem in the long run!"
Old Yang chuckled and handed him a plastic bottle with the four big words "Yunxi Holy Water" written on it with a marker.
"Jianguo, we need to open up." Old Yang winked, "Look at my kid, he just fills some tap water, puts a label on it, and sells it for ten yuan a bottle.
The city dwellers and foreigners were all vying for it! They even asked if there was anything Zhong Ling had touched.
Wang Jianguo looked at the bottle of "holy water" and his eyes twitched. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation and snatched it away.
"Nonsense! Isn't this a lie?
...Um, do you have any bottles left? Give me a hundred."
The village chief felt mixed emotions.
Who would have thought that the girl who came back to farm was actually a fairy!
He is still confused.
But looking at the grand scene outside the village and the villagers making a fortune by selling peripheral products, he felt that this dream... seemed quite beautiful.
…
Zhong Ling used the most direct method to remove all the "fleas" at once.
She confidently handed over the follow-up matters to Zhou Zhenguo and Qiao Jianmin, and she believed that they would handle it properly.
Now that the matter was settled, Zhong Ling decided to go out for a walk.
Before leaving, Zhong Ling made a gesture with her fingertips to change her appearance. After all, this face was known to the whole world.
Then, an ordinary face appeared in the mirror, which could not be found even in a crowd of people.
Only those eyes were still so deep and clear, as if they could see through everything in the world.
She nodded with satisfaction, then entered the space and used it to teleport to a random place.
The next second, she appeared on the streets of an unfamiliar city.
Unlike Shanghai, this city seems more lifelike, with old residential buildings on both sides of the streets and tall sycamore trees planted on the roadside.
The sun shines through the leaves, casting spots of light. It is now afternoon, there are not many pedestrians, and the pace is slow.
Zhong Ling took a deep breath, but frowned slightly.
There was a faint pungent smell in the air, like the smell of some incomplete burning chemical. Although it was not strong, it still made people feel uncomfortable.
She looked in the direction of the smell, which seemed to be the east side of the city.
"Excuse me, Auntie," Zhong Ling stopped a passing auntie and asked gently, "What's that smell in the air? It feels a bit choking."
Upon hearing this, the aunt curled her lips as usual and pointed to the east: "What else could it be? That industrial park in the eastern suburbs, they do bad things secretly every day.
It's okay during the day, but at night, the smell is truly unbearable! We're all used to it in this area, and we've complained about it countless times, to no avail."
"Industrial Park?" Zhong Ling pondered. "Is there no one in charge?"
"Who cares?" Auntie sneered, as if she had heard something funny. "Who cares? How? He's a wealthy Nazi, a precious treasure!"
What we say is useless.
Little girl, you look unfamiliar to me. Are you from another place?
If you don’t like the smell, just wear a mask and you’ll get used to it after a couple of days.”
After saying that, the aunt shook her head and left with the basket of vegetables.
