China Propaganda Department V: Regarding the appearance of demonic beasts in various regions of our country, the Propaganda Department will hold a press conference at 10:00 AM on the 28th to answer your questions in detail. Please remain calm and don't panic. The country has everything under control. For more information, please follow @ChinaPropagandaDepartment and @SpecialEventAdministration.
As soon as the news came out, it triggered more than just hot searches.
This news is pinned to the top of the homepages of major platforms, mobile phone message reminders, and other prominent places on electronic devices, without any other advertisements scrolling, ensuring that the first thing everyone sees when logging into different devices is the news content.
It can be said that as long as you have electronic equipment, you will definitely know about the press conference held on the 28th.
When news of an unknown monster first broke, many well-informed people immediately spread the news to every corner of their surroundings, discussing it for several rounds. The average person, naturally, didn't believe in the existence of monsters and was shocked by the "monster special effects" produced, laughing and not taking it seriously.
Until the official appears.
As the saying goes, shock becomes numb. When officials admitted that it was indeed a demonic beast, not just their imagination, the public's initial reaction was not the online jokes that followed one another. First, everyone was bewildered, wondering if they were dreaming, then pinching their thighs in shock and speechless disbelief.
How did the world suddenly change?
When the demonic beast appeared, what would ordinary people do? Would it be like in a disaster movie, with humanity struggling to survive and only one in ten remaining?
Oh, no, that's not right. Someone showed in that live broadcast overseas that ordinary people can have superpowers, and even vampires...
Almost everyone who knew about the live broadcast from abroad fell into panic involuntarily.
Because from what they knew so far, there was no movement within China, nor were there any cases or rumors of ordinary people suddenly possessing superpowers. Instead, abroad, people with superpowers were broadcasting live and recruiting. Previously, they had mocked the impending chaos abroad, but now that they knew their own country was also unsafe, their gloating had changed.
When faced with the fear of the unknown, it's natural for people to be afraid and overthink things. This is especially true when the fear is not far away, sometimes even just across the street. The fear is even more profound, like a shadow following you everywhere.
Fortunately, the authorities responded promptly.
When almost everyone saw that dynamic, the first thing they noticed was the phrase "Everything is under control". These simple words had a special kind of magic, allowing everyone to immediately exhale the foul air that was stuck in their chests, with the corners of their mouths raised unconsciously.
Some people who are not so mentally strong couldn't help crying after watching it.
When danger is befalling the whole world and no one can escape it, there is nothing more reassuring than having a powerful country standing in front of you, holding you in its arms and telling you "Don't be afraid, we are prepared."
No one doubts that the authorities are trying to save face and release updates just to appease people, but they are actually just as panicked in private. They know their own country well. When has China ever committed fraud on such a major issue?
Anyone who wants to sow discord between them and the country will be treated as a walking 500,000!
After realizing what was happening, the emboldened people rolled up their sleeves, picked up their keyboards and started a big battle with those who were pessimistic and sarcastic.
While some were busy arguing online, others were carefully poring over the hidden messages within the Propaganda Department's blog post, which contained less than a hundred words. The "Special Events Management Bureau" was the most frequently mentioned topic.
I went in with great anticipation and left in silence.
This official organization with an unusual and suggestive name is actually an empty account. There is nothing on it, not even the courtesy to forward the Propaganda Department's updates.
The official kept people in suspense, and netizens could only speculate spontaneously.
No matter how much you speculate, you can't avoid the conclusion that "this is a special setting for monsters, just like in novels." Look, this new department even has its own exclusive badge. Is this something that a temporary team can have?
Many quick-witted people, upon seeing the Special Management Bureau, immediately connected it to the recent news reports of large numbers of monks and Taoists appearing in various places. Local officials eventually explained that the incident was a Buddhist-Taoist exchange meeting, hence the ending scene. Now, it seems like a ridiculous Buddhist-Taoist exchange meeting.
The two religions have been in opposition in the country since ancient times. They have not held any exchange meetings for many years since entering the new era. Suddenly, this happened. There must be something fishy going on.
However, they used to believe in science too much and didn't think about anything else.
Netizens, having made their new discovery, used it to express a series of complicated emotions. Anyway, if anything happened, the truth would be revealed after the news was released a day later, and they could afford to wait that little bit.
Time passed slowly. I thought that an online statement was the highlight of the day, but I didn’t expect that the China News Service would also talk about the press conference in the second half.
Today's China News Service is surprisingly short compared to previous news reports, but if you think about the current situation abroad, you will understand.
Those who were bored and watching the China News Service with their elders at home, heard the elders' doubts and immediately became excited and told the elders all the news on their mobile phones. Who would dare to believe such a bizarre thing if they were not well-informed?
Just as the older man was about to scold, he heard two serious-faced hosts begin reporting the monster news in a serious manner.
stunned.
"Please don't panic, the country has been prepared for this."
"If you spot a monster, please flee immediately. Do not provoke it out of curiosity."
"A press conference will be held at 10:00 AM on the 28th. At that time..."
In short, the summary of the second half is: Don't be reckless and provoke monsters! Just trust the country and live a normal life.
Also, be sure to come and see the press conference on the 28th!
"Why one day later?"
Yan Jue asked what many people wanted to ask but didn't dare. "I thought it would be announced tomorrow morning."
"Of course, we need to leave some time to show our weakness." Zhou Taotao stared at his computer, working non-stop, "Other countries are in chaos. There's still no concrete method for suppressing or appeasing the people. If we jump out and hold a press conference now, how much hatred will we draw?"
Although their long-prepared things will be exposed once the press conference is held, they can still take advantage of this short period of time to quietly occupy the high ground of public opinion.
"There are still many of our people abroad. Not to mention the ungrateful ones, there are so many of our motherland's flowers out there. We can't just leave them there and ignore them."
Zhou Taotao explained, "There's chaos out there. In order to arrest those who are taking advantage of the situation and challenging the government's authority, many countries have banned people from leaving the country. They can't come back on their own, so of course we have to go and get them."
Yan Jue suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten about this.
This day was the time that the Chinese government had reserved for foreign negotiations. As long as foreign countries agreed to evacuate their citizens, regardless of whether the foreign government would change its mind after the press conference, they would have a legitimate reason to set foot on foreign land and bring their children back.
They are right, and no matter how shameless other countries are, they are right. In the next few hundred or thousand years, they will have the confidence to talk about and write about it with confidence.
However, in order to communicate with all countries within one day, Yan Jue didn't dare to imagine how fast the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would have to operate, and there would also be the problem of dispatching various means of transportation. Just thinking about how much manpower and material resources would be consumed made his scalp tingle.
"Actually, I'd rather have the monks ride on flying swords to pick up people. Hehehe, that would be so cool. I guarantee no one will dare to recruit us in the future."
Zhou Taotao's rude voice interrupted Yan Jue's thoughts.
"Don't worry. The appearance of monsters abroad is a clear and serious problem. It's reasonable for us to evacuate our citizens at this time. Our performance wasn't particularly outstanding. They wouldn't have guessed so much, so they'll definitely release us without hesitation."
"Not to mention those with whom we have close ties, other countries have already agreed to release their citizens. We're already preparing flights to pick up those who are nearby."
The embassy has already notified them. Those who are still confused and unwilling to go back at this time can only wait for the two countries to slowly negotiate in the future.
The country has always been active and reliable in this regard. After Yan Jue understood this, he probably stopped asking questions.
"I'm leaving now, you go ahead and do your work."
After leaving the Special Management Bureau office, Yan Jue wanted to go back to the dormitory to see Ah Qing, but someone called him from behind.
"Advisor Yan!"
The person who came was a familiar face. Yan Jue remembered that this person was one of the protection personnel following Pan Wencheng.
"Advisor Yan, Director Pan asked me to pick you up."
Yan Jue was surprised: "Director Pan?"
Pan Wencheng had been so busy these past few days that even three hours of sleep was considered a lot. Why would someone come to him right now? Perhaps he had run into some unsolvable problem and needed to buy something?
Thinking of this, Yan Jue became a little anxious: "Did something happen?"
"Ah, no." The visitor was a little confused. "Director Pan said that you had agreed to an interview with the Propaganda Department before, and asked me to take you to the interview location."
"Counselor Yan, don't you know?"
"An interview." Yan Jue breathed a sigh of relief. "I know. I just didn't expect it to start today. Let's go."
However, when he arrived at the "interview" venue, he realized how naive he had been. Yan Jue swore tearfully that he would never desert a meeting again.
10:00 AM on the 28th
The live broadcast of the press conference officially began, and all TV stations and online channels in China broadcast it at the same time.
At the press conference, the Minister of Propaganda first explained why monsters appeared in the country, and displayed photos of the monsters that had been captured, linking them with the descriptions in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". Finally, he speculated that something strange had happened in China a long time ago, thus leading to the revival of spiritual energy.
The idea of spiritual revival was mentioned repeatedly, and the reason for the name was explained in detail.
The resurgence of spiritual energy then extended to Buddhism and Taoism, as well as some legendary individuals within the country. The Special Events Management Bureau emerged, its functions and the special identities of its registered awakeners becoming the subject of a new round of explanation.
After the explanation, the focus will be on the relevant laws that the country has formulated regarding the New World. The specific content will be read out after the press conference and will also be posted on the official account of the Propaganda Department. Please read it carefully.
At the end of the press conference, the people, who were already excited enough, suddenly heard the Minister of Propaganda drop a bombshell.
"The country will open the Contribution Points exchange on the official website tomorrow. At that time, spiritual root tests, cultivation techniques, Buddhist and Taoist secret manuals, and a series of other skills related to the revival of spiritual energy can all be exchanged for Contribution Points. Please visit the official website for details, or visit the branch of the Special Management Bureau in this city to inquire."
The press conference is over.
Everyone who watched this press conference had the same expression: shocked to the point of losing color.jpg
