It also described the current predicament of the capital city and called on the public to remain rational and work together to cope with this disaster.
In addition, hundreds of registration points were set up on the spot, and people could go to the nearest registration point to register, exchange for ghost money and ghost items, and then undergo mask removal.
Xia Tianqiong's actions were initially based on threats and inducements, but the official appearance was intended to appease the public.
In this situation, both ordinary citizens and masked individuals are willing to resist the temptation of the masks and work together to safeguard the security of the capital.
After all, there was no other choice!
Just then, a whooshing sound came from behind.
Du Fuwei flapped his enormous wings and slowly landed on the rooftop. "Everything you asked me to do has been arranged. Has this really been effective?"
Xia Tianqiong gazed into the distance and sighed softly, "After the chaos, people yearn for peace. My indiscriminate killing is enough to deter most people, but there will definitely be some stubborn elements. We can deal with them slowly later."
Du Fuwei's expression softened slightly. "Then why are you still frowning? Are you worried about a next stage?"
"There will definitely be a next stage, but it's hard to say when it will start or what changes will occur."
"We'll just have to deal with whatever comes our way; there's no other way right now."
...
At this moment, Elder Huo and the Chess King had stopped playing chess.
"So this is what he meant by 'appealing to emotions and reasoning with people'!"
Old Huo just lost another round, but his face was full of joy. "He shocked the world with his perverse methods of torture and made everyone understand that wearing a mask has no good end."
He then offered a solution and promised corresponding benefits, giving the public a way out. Finally, the government stepped in, clarified the greater good, and reassured the people.
After all this maneuvering, who will be fooled by your mask? You've only exploited human greed and evil intentions, while he creates fear and hope to suppress greed and evil.
"You say the chess master doesn't understand human nature, but I believe he understands it better than either of us."
Old Huo spoke these words with great pleasure, and then burst into laughter.
But the chess king opposite him remained silent and gloomy, suddenly emanating a cold aura that caused the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.
"He does have some tricks up his sleeve, but that's all. He still can't change the outcome."
Old Huo shook his head and chuckled, "That's not necessarily true. He's the kind of person who can create miracles."
...
Everything went smoothly for the next two days.
The authorities set up registration points on major streets in various districts of the capital, and masked people in the vicinity would voluntarily register to exchange for ghost money or ghost artifacts.
The artifact was provided by Xia Tianqiong, while the ghost money was provided by the Imperial Capital Bureau.
Xia Tianqiong's current task is to shuttle back and forth between various registration points.
It's not just about helping people remove their masks, but also about deterring them.
Some stubborn masked figures still hide in corners and refuse to come out on their own. He will grab them and torture them in public to continue to put psychological pressure on the people.
In just two days, more than 1.2 million people had their masks removed, and ordinary citizens handed in hundreds of thousands of masks.
The situation in the capital is improving, the number of masked people is decreasing rapidly, and the number of murders is also dropping sharply.
In another two or three days, the effects of the masks will be fully under control.
But on the third day, another unexpected event occurred.
Because the Chess King has begun the third stage – Factional Showdown!
