'Death Note' is the second incident in the special investigation of the Fengcheng incident that Gu Zhisang took over on the mini program, and it is also the main project of the Spirit Team.
A whole day had passed since she arrived in Fengcheng. During this time, she had dealt with the mess left by the Qianqing Sect, but the Spirit Team still had not made much progress on the case.
Gu Zhisang also learned a little about the so-called "Death Note" in advance on Fengcheng forums and local networks.
About half a month ago, an anonymous person suddenly appeared on the Internet in Windy City, claiming that he had the ability to predict the future and published a book called "Revelation Notes" on the Internet.
Three days ago, the owner of this note anonymously wrote his predictions in this note and distributed them in three short posts.
Because he claimed that he possessed this "superpower", he attracted the attention and ridicule of some netizens, but the number was not large.
At that time, these netizens thought that he was just trying to attract attention, and most of the comments and messages below were mocking.
The reason why this person and his predictions continue to set the Internet on fire is that his predictions have come true.
In his prediction on the third day, this person wrote, 'Tomorrow, there will be a car accident on the xx bridge in Fengcheng, and the car owner will die.'
The few comments from the day before, the twenty or so, were all scolding him, saying that the poster was willing to make a joke about such a thing just to attract traffic and attention.
There are also comments cursing the poster to be hit by a car.
However, on the day of the prophecy, a very serious car accident did occur on the local cross-river bridge in Fengcheng.
The car owner, his wife, and children, a family of four, all died in the car accident, without a single survivor.
On the day of the tragedy, because the scene was so tragic and weird, some car owners on the bridge took some videos from different angles. After posting them online, they became a minor hit and remained on the hot search for several hours.
While netizens were expressing their feelings, several local people who had seen the "prophecy post" in the forum before were shocked by such a coincidence!
The car accident, location, and approximate time mentioned in yesterday's prophecy in "Revelation Notes" were exactly the same.
These people immediately felt their scalps tingling and immediately forwarded the post from the self-proclaimed prophet to their relatives and friends.
This news also continued to ferment in local group chats and forums in the Windy City, attracting the attention of a large number of local people.
Many people were shocked and asked how the poster knew this.
Many netizens also think that this is just a coincidence. After all, the poster only said that the car owner would die, but a family of four died in the car accident, and not all the information matches.
Some netizens even had wild imaginations and thought that the prophet was a murderer.
In short, at that time, many netizens were still skeptical.
The poster did not respond to any questions or give any explanation, but continued to post a new short post that evening, writing down the fourth prophecy.
The content of the prophecy this time was not so explosive, and netizens' attention gradually weakened.
Who would have thought that just one day later, the fifth newly released prophecy contained another death notification, predicting that someone else would die the next day.
Because the predicted event became very popular during those days, and the forum was completely anonymous, this "prophet" would post new predictions every time.
Many imitators appeared one after another, and hundreds of prediction posts were made on the forum, with absurd and weird content.
But the words of a true 'prophet' seem to have a mysterious power that can attract netizens to recognize him.
In short, when netizens unanimously select accurate posts, they will push the latest predictions to major group chats.
Many interested and bored netizens began to post, waiting to see if another accident would happen the next day as the poster had said.
The member of the Spirit Team who was describing the case paused for a moment. Gu Zhisang looked up at him and said with understanding:
"The second prophecy concerning death has also been fulfilled."
"That's right." The team member nodded and said, "Just when many people didn't take the prophet's words seriously and still regarded them as a story, it came true again."
"The manner and time of death of the new deceased are generally consistent with what is recorded in the notes."
Without the team members saying more, Gu Zhisang could guess what kind of public opinion and craze the "prophet" who once again successfully predicted a death incident and this "Revelation Notes" would stir up on the Internet.
The facts were exactly as she had guessed, and since then, this "prophet" has become completely famous.
He issued a total of fourteen prophecies, including five predicted deaths.
It has been completely fulfilled to this day.
As of today when the Spirit Group intervened in the investigation, although the "prophet" did not have a personal account, some fans spontaneously helped him set up an account and included all his predictions in it.
That account now has more than four million followers online.
Countless fanatical netizens who admire him and regard him as a person with super powers have set up super topics for him and drawn a mysterious masked portrait of him.
The "Revelation Notes" he used to record prophecies are also called the "Death Note" by netizens.
Needless to say, this could not have been a natural event.
The reason why the Spirit Team had not discovered this before was also a rather strange point in the whole incident. The relevant information about this prophecy event seemed to have only been circulated within Wind City.
At most, only a few small towns around were slightly affected.
Outside of the Windy City, it is almost impossible to find a post discussing this matter.
When the Spirit Team entered Wind City to investigate, they discovered that two members of the original Wind City Spirit Team branch had disappeared, and were replaced by two unknown mystics who were impersonating the Spirit Team!
Since they were the ones who handed over to the Wind City police, they blocked the information from being passed to their superiors, so the headquarters had no idea about it.
One of the two imposters escaped, and the other exploded and died after being caught, without leaving any useful information.
But it is precisely because of their radical and strange behavior that people are more certain that there is something fishy about this matter!
Gu Zhisang asked: "Where have you found out so far?"
The spirit team member said, "We have a few clues now, but most of them were abandoned without any clues. Please take a look at the information we have compiled first."
Gu Zhisang took a file book, opened it and looked through it.
The above fourteen prophecies are divided into several modules, five of which predict death, and the rest of the prophecies mostly have no specific direction, but relevant clues can be found after careful investigation.
Two of them caught Gu Zhisang's attention:
'The first one: I dreamed that 'God would come.'
'Ninth: God loves everyone and teaches the joy of life...'
The rest of the conversation consisted of some vague words praising 'God'. In short, it was a little difficult and abstract for her to understand, but she still keenly sensed some discomfort from it.
According to the in-depth investigation by the Internet police, they could only find out the real nickname of this "prophet" behind his anonymity: Titia.
But no matter how hard we searched for his IP address and other information, we couldn't find any.
Even the most skilled network technicians may not be able to do this.
In addition, although the spiritual team and the local Internet police did not find out the identity of this "prophet", they found it to be a person.
The spiritual team member said: "This man is called Haiming, he is 47 years old. The reason we singled him out is that we found out during the investigation that he was pretending to be a 'prophet'."
Gu Zhisang flipped through Haiming's investigation file. The photo of him showed him in a well-dressed and elegant manner. The first impression he gave was that of a 'successful person'.
After investigation by the spiritual team members, it was found that he was indeed a successful person.
"Fengcheng Academy of Fine Arts is one of the four famous schools in Xia Country's art world. Even though this city is not big or prosperous, the art students in Fengcheng Academy of Fine Arts are all admitted with high scores and high abilities."
"This Haiming is amazing. He is a well-known painter in the art world of Xia Country, and he is also a second-level full professor at Fengcheng Academy of Fine Arts."
Since the 'Prophet' became popular, many people have imitated or impersonated him.
But Haiming is the first impostor who has such a high status and is a little special.
The spirit team member continued: "During our investigation, we almost considered this person to be a 'prophet'."
"Because he was seven days later than the 'prophet' Titia's account, he also started using the name of 'prophet' and imitated the other party's tone to write 'prophecy notes' online."
"You know what? There are many similarities between what he wrote and what the original author wrote. That's why we regarded him as the real 'prophet' in the beginning!"
