August 11, 2001.
Someone posted a language-related thread on Tianya Forum. The content was very simple, just two lines:
1. One month later, on September 11, 2001, a terrorist attack occurred at the World Trade Center in New York City.
2. Seven years later, at 14:28:04 on May 12, 2008, a magnitude 8 earthquake will occur in Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. This earthquake will last for about two minutes.
Nobody believed the post.
On Tianya Forum, there are countless claims of prophecies, time travelers, or other mystical geniuses, but no one would believe these two so-called prophecies.
After all, the United States is still at its zenith, still the world's policeman, able to control whoever it wants. Who would dare to mess with it?
It's just something to have a laugh after watching it.
Some people also left comments under the post.
"I'll wait a month. If no terrorist attack occurs, I'll eat shit."
"On the first floor, you might see the poster eating shit."
"Waiting for the poster to eat shit."
"Watching."
"Onlookers."
"......"
There were more than a dozen comments below, all expressing disbelief.
The kid sitting in front of the internet cafe was a little angry, "Damn it, only dogs eat shit~ I..."
Just as he was about to start an online flame war, Li Xiangdong stopped him from typing, saying, "That's it."
He handed the child two hundred yuan, and the child immediately stopped being angry, took the money, and left happily.
There are so many fun and interesting things on Tianya Forum that this post quickly sank to the bottom.

One month later, on September 11, 2001.
Across the ocean.
Two planes crashed into the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York City one after the other!
Two skyscrapers collapsed amidst flames and smoke!
A sudden burst of flames shot into the sky, and a mushroom cloud of black smoke billowed up, accompanied by countless cries of agony...
Nearly 3,000 people died in this terrorist attack in the United States.
This was the largest number of casualties suffered by the United States since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
That post on Tianya Forum suddenly went viral!
The original poster (OP) had planned to mock the original poster in the comments section today. He had just typed, "It's 9/11 today, what kind of shit are you planning to eat, OP...?"
He hadn't even finished typing when he saw the news notification!
"World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists!"
Then came a constant stream of news updates.
Those who wanted to mock the poster at the same time as him also widened their eyes, just like the poster on the first floor. This, this, holy crap!
I've stumbled upon an amazing post!
The post, which was originally buried to the bottom, was instantly lifted to the top by the influx of people!
Numerous comments appeared below.
"Is the poster a prophet? How could they predict something like this!"
"The person upstairs is wrong. I think the poster must be a master of metaphysics. Our country's Zi Wei Dou Shu has a long history."
"No, no, no! I think the poster is from the future, or an alien!"
"No, don't you guys want to find out who posted this? This is too amazing. I want to find the poster and ask if my lost dog is still alive?"
"Heh~ You think someone like the poster, a genius, can be used to help you find your dog?"
"Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"
"I would like to ask a master to predict my marriage and career. My birth chart is as follows: Guiyou, Jiazi, Bingyin, Wuxu."
"Wow, upstairs, your birth chart is excellent! This person's Day Master is Bing Fire, born in the Zi month, with Jia Wood as its essence. The weak wood is nourished by water, and the presence of Yin as its Lu (禄, a favorable position) further strengthens its essence. Wu Earth is its spirit, rooted in Xu, and the Yin-Xu combination in the earthly branches strengthens the fire element. The official star generates the seal, and the seal generates the self, with the sitting position being a long life position, ensuring a continuous flow of energy. All five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—are present, flowing smoothly and harmoniously. There is official support when the official star comes, official support when the robbery star comes, and seal support when the food star comes. The luck cycles in all directions are favorable. Therefore, this person will enjoy a life of wealth, honor, and longevity."
"Is the person upstairs a master of I Ching? Could you take a look at my work too? DM me~"
"Wait, aren't you guys getting off-topic? Isn't the second prophecy the important thing right now?"
"Yes! My goodness, my hometown is Yingxiu!"
"I'm from Beichuan, which is right next door! It's very close to Yingxiu!"
"No way, could there really be such a big earthquake?"
"......"
Li Xiangdong breathed a slight sigh of relief as he watched the number of posts rapidly increase by hundreds of thousands.
Actually, he would definitely have talked to Liu Dong about the earthquake.
However, he had another concern in his heart.
This concern is not something I can easily discuss with Liu Dong.
Therefore, he needs to ensure that when the authorities cannot intervene, enough people are aware of the incident and become wary as a result.
Of course, this is not an easy task.
However, Li Xiangdong has always been very lucky. He suddenly remembered a topic he had seen on social media in his previous life.
"If you could go back to 2001, how would you prevent the 9/11 terrorist attacks and save countless innocent people?"
One answer under that topic left a deep impression on Li Xiangdong.
The person who answered the question came from Yingxiu Town, the epicenter of the Wenchuan earthquake. He said, "If I could go back to 2001, I would write a prophecy post before the 9/11 terrorist attacks. I would first predict the 9/11 terrorist attacks that would happen soon, and then predict the Wenchuan earthquake in 2008, and tell my sister that she must leave that place."
Li Xiangdong thought the idea was great, so he copied it directly.
Sure enough, the post went viral.
Li Xiangdong silently hoped that the respondent's sister would see this post, or that the respondent would see this post and remind more people.
Perhaps, in the grand scheme of things, everything can become a closed loop.
