How can someone go viral across the internet in just fifteen minutes?
Chen Rui's shouting quickly attracted the attention of the subway train security personnel.
He was blinded by rage and lost his senses. He wanted to hit the other person... but then he realized that "hitting" was just physical contact, and even touching would be disgusting—so all he could do was talk.
"**You guys are really (censored)! Go to hell!"
Chen Rui, who was used to a life of luxury, only ever used a few swear words. For the first time, he felt that his swearing skills were completely inadequate.
The train security guard seemed relaxed. For some reason, despite the tense atmosphere, the three of them didn't look like they were about to fight.
There are 2 minutes until the next subway stop.
Chen Rui was venting his anger in a deep, immersive way, while the two opposite him acted like they were nothing but dead pigs who weren't afraid of boiling water: "We're all men, what are you being so dramatic about?" They were disgusted with themselves.
The three of them truly lived up to their reputation as the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix; they were completely unaware that someone nearby had already started recording them with their phone.
Then the matter was handed over to the police station.
That same evening, a news story about a man being sexually assaulted by two other strangers on the subway went viral on short video platforms.
I don't know which unscrupulous person submitted it, maybe it was the instigator.
In an era dominated by short video platforms, a short video featuring a sensational news story with buzz and popularity can spread at an almost terrifying speed.
Mr. Chen probably never expected that he would become a trending topic on Weibo in this way.
It's a really horrible joke.
Normally, we only see women being molested by strange men or men being molested by strange women. This is the first time the public has seen a man being molested by a strange man—it's truly an eye-opener.
While such incidents have certainly happened before, this is the first time it's caused such a big fuss, especially involving three people.
It could definitely be considered a group activity.
Some netizens even wanted to see this legendary gay heartthrob on the subway...
"A real-life version of 'men on the left and right,' with a head full of sweat, hahaha. Boys should take good care of themselves when they're out."
"Are all the people who flirt around in public places like the subway [censored]?"
"I feel sorry for her. I feel like this victim is one of those miserable office workers who worked hard overtime and finally managed to squeeze onto the subway to go home, only to encounter this kind of thing."
"All I can say is, who told you to wear so little (doge). A man who doesn't respect himself is like rotten cabbage."
The short video that was originally being circulated was blurred out, so the faces of both people were not fully visible.
After all, since it was posted from a marketing account, which is considered semi-official, they shouldn't do this kind of thing, as it would harm other people's privacy.
But there were tons of people recording with their phone cameras on the subway back then. Among them, there might have been some just trying to add fuel to the fire, or trying to ride the wave for attention and traffic.
A high-definition version of the video has been leaked, showing multiple camera angles and layers directly capturing the scene of the incident.
"It seems the victim was completely stunned before he realized what was happening. He turned around and grabbed at it, only to find there were actually two of them. I felt even more sorry for him. What happened?"
"You could say they had some manners, but not much. At least they didn't fight on the subway, which would have been unsightly."
"We're saying this guy looks like an average person, but the two behind him are really... indescribable. Could it be that... the gay community's aesthetic sense is really different in real life?"
At this point, Chen Rui had no idea that he had become an internet sensation in those fifteen minutes.
He is giving a statement at the police station and is determined not to settle the matter privately.
After he walked out of the police station, he took out his phone, intending to call a taxi to go home quickly and end this terrible day—and then he saw a push notification from his news app.
Chen Rui: ?
Chen Rui: ? ? ?
Chen Rui: !!! !!! !!! !!!
What the hell?!
"In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes." — Andy Warhol — This famous Pop Art master's theory was unfortunately put into practice by Chen Rui...
This CEO will probably have a psychological trauma from taking the subway for the rest of his life. Until the controversy dies down, he probably won't dare go to work again.
To be honest, Chen Rui never realized that she was so attractive to men.
I would really like to thank those two bastards and their families!
He desperately wants to go home and scrub his skin off.
The one who started all of this is, of course, Jiang Chuan, who is taking on the role of a magical girl for the first time today.
From the moment he began observing, he was constantly being influenced by various factors that changed the course of events.
For example, he suggested to Xiaolin that the restroom could serve as a temporary refuge; he also suggested that Chen Rui drink the alcohol to make him feel better in the morning; and he suggested that Chen Rui be unable to hail a taxi and had no choice but to take the subway.
Finally, and most importantly, the finishing touch was to lure two repeat offenders with prior convictions for subway molestation, who were under close surveillance, into the same carriage as Chen Rui.
Jiang Chuan simply made slight adjustments to the objective conditions, allowing these two habitual offenders to act according to their usual patterns.
He only slightly changed a few factors in the whole incident, and then the butterfly effect naturally occurred, with him adding a little embellishment as an afterthought.
At first, Chen Rui was still under the influence of alcohol and did not realize that she was being subjected to indecent acts when she came to her senses.
As for the surrounding passengers, they either weren't paying attention at all, or they noticed but thought that a few men...
They were probably looking for thrills and didn't pay much attention, just squeezed a little further apart.
It's better to avoid trouble.
As a purely magical being, the Earl had never seen such a fighting style before... He couldn't help but be surprised. Could there really be such dirty tricks in this world?
It is indeed a bit dirty, but it's so strange, oh, let me take another look... just one more look.
To be honest, it was kind of fun.
Jiang Chuan was also quite puzzled by the Earl's confusion, because if it wasn't done in this way, what other means could be used to influence the target?
Magical abilities—that sounds pretty powerful.
In reality, that only applies to magic. In the real world, there are many restrictions, such as the laws that apply in the human world.
That's all we can do.
"What were you like before?"
"Well... well..."
The count was momentarily speechless, then hesitated, but his quick thinking allowed him to come up with a new line: "We prioritize education, with guidance as a secondary approach..."
Then I couldn't make up any more.
Jiang Chuan keenly sensed something, but he didn't have the bad habit of interrupting others, so he remained a very friendly and quiet listener.
The problem is, the Earl can't come up with anything...
It's completely different from the usual rambling and verbose Chinese reading comprehension exercises.
The count, feeling helpless, could only keep it a secret: "You're a newcomer now, so there's not much I can say to you."
Jiang Chuan turned his head to stare at Him without saying a word.
The count felt a sense of oppression from ordinary humans for the first time...
He struggled and stammered.
"Now that we've established a cooperative relationship, we should have a solid foundation of trust, don't you think?" Jiang Chuan asked politely.
The count, exasperated, could only draw circles in the air with his little paws as he explained, "Alright, I'll confess. Actually, you're the first person we've found in reality to have an effect on this side of reality, so you're the first case..."
"Usually, we find suitable candidates in reality and then use them on the magical side to help our Bureau exorcise demons."
This also explains why elemental systems exist.
"The current situation is because too many negative things from the reality side are flowing back into the magic side, especially for your generation of young people, life seems to bring great pressure."
"These negative things flowed back and formed all sorts of monsters on the magical side."
“Our management bureau is already severely understaffed, so the leaders above instructed us to consider solving the problem at its root, which led to your current proposal.”
This was the first time Jiang Chuan had heard about the relationship between the real world and the magical world.
He had always thought that the two worlds were parallel lines, with only occasional focal points like himself.
However, from the count's words, it seems that these two worlds are interdependent, like an hourglass? Or perhaps like the relationship between high and low concentrations of cell fluid that you learn about in biology textbooks.
As technology advances, is the human world becoming less and less beautiful?
Jiang Chuan stared blankly at the bustling world under the streetlights for a moment before snapping out of his reverie and continuing to ask.
"Is there anything else you're hiding from me?"
The count quickly shook his head to show his honesty: "This time it's really nothing, really! If there is anything else, it's because you, as a newcomer on probation, don't have the authority to know, and it's not that I'm deliberately hiding it from you."
After thinking for a moment, He simply added frankly to his motivation: "As for why I didn't tell you this from the beginning, it's because I felt you looked down on our magical side..."
Jiang Chuan's initial performance did indeed make the Earl seem rather insignificant.
"We just want to enhance its professionalism and importance."
"sorry."
"It's alright. After all, we've only met for two days. In the human world, we're still considered strangers. But now that we've established a cooperative relationship, I hope we can be completely honest with each other in the future."
Jiang Chuan did not pursue this matter.
"But this method seems to be just a temporary fix," the count said with some concern, since it is very difficult to change a person's nature in reality.
He turned to look at Jiang Chuan, thinking that the other party might have some good ideas.
For example, today's approach of using evil to combat evil is something He never thought of before.
But in fact, Jiang Chuan currently has no good ideas on how to solve the problem at its root.
For example, today's incident might seem like a serious social disaster for the person involved, but it's actually just a minor punishment, not a particularly cruel one.
Because the hype will fade from netizens' minds in a few days. In reality, the number of people who are truly paying attention to you is never as many as you think.
When Jiang Chuan implemented these methods, he did not have any intention of slacking off during his probationary period.
He is used to getting things done.
Looking at Chen Rui's style and approach, it seems he had done it many times before finally taking action.
For a newcomer to a team, an icebreaker activity is certainly a good thing, but in today's workplace, the term "icebreaker activity" has been distorted.
Today's team-building activity wasn't actually that bad. What's worse is that they forced employees to reveal their private information in front of everyone.
They control you by accessing your privacy.
Such activities are common and carried out openly, yet few people realize that these rituals trample on dignity and cultivate servility.
We can't continue the investigation of the task subjects either, because he's already gone past his allotted time tonight and hasn't even gone home yet.
He has a very strong sense of time.
Therefore, he would feel extremely uncomfortable whenever something happened that disrupted Jiang Chuan's schedule.
Originally, he was supposed to leave home at 7:30, be back by 9:00, spend half an hour washing up, recharge, and go to bed by 10:30.
I arrived home at 9:03.
Displeased, extremely displeased.
Jiang Chuan silently slowed down the time on his watch by 3 minutes before he could continue doing his own thing in a slightly better mood.
It's not that they're completely punctual to the point of being rigid and inflexible...
