Today, a video surfaced online and garnered millions of views. It wasn't a huge hit, but it reached Chen Yang.
The video opens in a snow-covered landscape, with the text indicating it's the Arctic. A man wearing a wingsuit, carrying a dog on his back, descends from the sky, deploying his parachute at a frightening distance before landing safely.
The footage was brief, as if it were hastily taken out of a phone. Then there were several side-view photos of Chen Yang wearing a wingsuit on the snow.
The scene then shifted to a fighting ring, where Chen Yang was again battling Sha Rong. The fight only lasted a short while before switching to his amazing knife-throwing demonstration in the ring.
Then came another amazing scene: a man running at incredible speed in the wild, leaping over obstacles with astonishing speed. In night vision mode, the man's face was unclear, but based on the footage from the previous two videos, it was easy to identify him as Chen Yang. The location was marked as Africa, indicating that it was unintentionally captured by a wildlife photographer.
Then the screen jumps again, and the address changes to "a forest somewhere".
Chen Yang was carrying a baby elephant that weighed nearly a ton.
Finally, the person who filmed the video provided an attachment package containing the source files of these videos. He stated that there were absolutely no special effects and that he was open to any scrutiny.
This might seem like something only bored people would do, but because it's so real, it's sparked some discussion.
Many people knew about Chen Yang's performance during the martial arts competition, and some even echoed his sentiments.
"I found it strange that he could exhaust a top expert to the point of fainting without being hurt himself. Now it seems he was hiding his strength."
"It must be special effects."
"I thought so too, so I watched it a few more times, but the more I watched it, the more real it looked, especially the elephant, which didn't seem like special effects at all."
"Who said you can't see special effects in 'The Boy Who Abandoned the World'?"
"Upstairs, you've hit the nail on the head. I just found out that the wolf in 'The Boy Who Abandoned the World' is the dog owned by the person who posted this video. And the dog that was flying with the wingsuit in the video is the wolf from the movie. I'm absolutely certain."
"Huh, this must be special effects. There are many creatures in 'The Boy Who Abandoned the World' that don't exist in reality. The special effects these days are amazing."
"I don't think it's necessarily special effects. Maybe saber-toothed tigers and mammoths are special effects, but what about the others? Did anyone have doubts when 'The Boy Who Abandoned the World' was first released?"
The video's views surged rapidly in a short period, nearly reaching ten million. However, it suddenly disappeared; the video was deleted from all major platforms, and related comments also vanished.
This made many people who were paying attention to the matter realize that something was wrong.
"My God, it was deleted and can't be found. This isn't some kind of prohibited topic, is it? I feel like I've seen a conspiracy."
"Could the legendary Chinese Dragon Group really exist?"
"No, no, this must be a mutation. Have you seen Spider-Man?"
"Let's team up to go to Hangzhou to find this expert, anyone want to join?"
"Count me in. I'm from HZ. I know the person in the video. He's the owner of a very famous inn here."
Netizens, after all, speak from behind a keyboard without understanding the situation; very few actually go to the internet. Furthermore, after the entire internet was banned, private chats didn't spread widely and quickly faded away.
However, in reality, Chen Yang was still affected and was forced to stay in the old inn and not go out because people came to join in the fun every day.
The video disappeared because Yin Weilin, Lu Lin, and Yun Hu all worked together.
Using their influence, Yin Weilin and Lu Lin directly contacted the relevant personnel of various platforms, asking them to delete and ban the video.
Meanwhile, Yun Hu found acquaintances in Hangzhou and deleted all related messages and videos on local platforms, and blocked information about Chen Yang.
Thanks to their quick response, if the message had spread any further, they wouldn't have been able to control it. Apart from the central government, no one can truly control online public opinion.
The source of the video was also found out by a friend of Yan Su at the police station, and Chen Yang immediately recognized the person who spread it when he saw the photo.
This is the boy he met in the Arctic.
The boy's family works in media operations, and guiding online public opinion is their specialty.
"Brother Yan, could you please help me find this person's exact location and keep an eye on him?" Chen Yang said to Yan Su.
"Okay." Yan Su made a phone call without saying a word.
He received the message half an hour later.
“Huang Tong is from the capital. He’s currently staying at a club in the suburbs of the capital and hasn’t left the house for over ten days,” Yan Su said to Chen Yang.
Yan Su's friend at the police station is indeed very resourceful. This Huang Tong was clearly hiding on purpose and was definitely paying close attention to his whereabouts, but he was found in less than half an hour.
Without saying a word, Chen Yang bought a plane ticket to the capital.
"I'd like to see who has any disloyal intentions."
Chen Yang sat on the plane, squinting as he pondered.
He could understand if it were just videos of the Arctic and the armed conflict, but he didn't know about the video of Africa. Only someone who knew he had been to Africa and had specifically investigated it would know.
Only the people of Jiemin knew that he had been to Africa and had even made a long journey there.
Someone is testing him. If Chen Yang really attracts significant attention, many problems will be exposed one after another.
Since acquiring Microworld, Chen Yang has done too many amazing and unbelievable things.
One or two incidents involving these people are unbelievable enough, but if all of them were put together, there would definitely be something wrong with them, something that could even alarm the top figures in China. In that case, Chen Yang would no longer be able to remain unscathed.
This guy is smarter than Zhang Zhili. This kind of behavior is very difficult to expose. If Chen Yang were to openly investigate every citizen, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among them.
By then, the current state of the micro-world will certainly be unsustainable.
The current unity is due to the established overall atmosphere; newcomers will only be affected, not the overall atmosphere of the micro-world.
If Chen Yang really does something that makes most of the world's inhabitants extremely dissatisfied, then cracks will appear in the micro-world, and with the entry of new people, the cracks will become larger and larger.
At that time, everyone will harbor some resentment towards Chen Yang, and there will be more factors influencing Chen Yang's judgment.
Fortunately, there are many capable people among the people of the realm, and the turmoil was quelled before it could really escalate; otherwise, the consequences would have been unpredictable.
Chen Yang noticed two people staring at him on the plane, and he vaguely heard words like "video" and "mutant".
Chen Yang looked up and gave the two men a cold look.
The air seemed to freeze slightly. Chen Yang's soul emitted a certain fluctuation, and the two men suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. They stopped talking and obediently sat back down. Although the plane was normally kept at a constant temperature, they were terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.
