The person has been picked up; all that's left is the issue of their departure.
Looking at the pitch-black corridor outside, Nazar rubbed his goosebump-covered arms: "Why did you say there's real danger in the dark? Didn't you write that yourself?"
"Perhaps it's because I don't have complete control over my own power?"
Yin Zhu smiled uncertainly and answered, then swaggered to the door, turned on the small electric lantern beside her, and instantly a beam of light dispelled the darkness around her. She stretched out her hand to the girl, who was a head shorter than her, and said, "It's time to leave."
Holding the girl's hand, the two walked towards the end of the seemingly endless corridor.
How long will it take us?
"have no idea."
"How come you don't know anything?"
“Because rules need someone to follow them to be effective, and I’m the first person to follow them.” Yin Zhu blinked. “But don’t worry, since I wrote it, I’ll definitely leave myself a way out.”
The two walked for an unknown amount of time in the dark corridor.
Suddenly, the lights in front turned on.
A door appeared before the two of them, as if it had always been there, and the others had simply been standing still in front of it until the lights came on.
Yin Zhu reached out and pushed open the door. In an instant, light pierced the darkness, revealing the normal street scene of Vina City outside.
Outside, it was also night, but the city was brightly lit, with colorful streetlights showcasing the allure of light pollution. Infected individuals were partying in the streets as usual, while the truly healthy stayed home as much as possible to avoid being discovered.
Nazar looked at it like it was magic: "This..."
"Remember? [There is no such thing as eternal light or darkness.] I quite like that rule." Yin Zhu patted her shoulder. "Let's go, let's go to the prince's house."
...
"I'm not seeing things, am I? Yin Zhu... created the rules?"
"It's probably a talent, or rather, an upgraded skill of Yin Zhu's talent. After all, she's the first person on Blue Star to have a gold-level talent, so it's normal that we don't know about it."
Is she still human?
"I remember the manager of the amusement park saying that all the chosen ones with golden talent eventually defected to the enemy. Could it be that Yin Zhu has already secretly submitted to the enemy?"
"That makes sense. Who knows what happened to her during that black screen at the end of Sin City?"
Following the suspicions raised by Japanese viewers regarding Hirano Sane, Chinese viewers have also revived their doubts about Yin Zhu. Combined with the "foreshadowing" left by the amusement park manager Wei Chuxing, conspiracy theories surrounding Yin Zhu have sprung up, and even several arrests by the cyber police have failed to suppress these speculations.
The Sin City incident could be considered an accident, but the Vina City incident this time...
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will quickly take root and sprout. People will keep trying to find evidence that Yin Zhu has betrayed Blue Star, and any strange behavior of hers will be used as evidence in court.
Of course, not everyone thinks this way.
People began to compile "evidence" and historical fragments about Yin Zhu, proving from various angles that Yin Zhu could never have betrayed Earth and humanity.
Unfortunately, their opponents were far more vocal than the majority who remained silent, even standing on the moral high ground, claiming that it was for the safety of Blue Star and all of humanity, and that anyone who disagreed was a die-hard fan of Yin Zhu and a potential follower of the Death Blue Cult.
Yin Zhu has such obvious problems, why shouldn't ordinary people like them be allowed to question her!
Under this seemingly reasonable moral suppression, fewer and fewer people are speaking up for Yin Zhu, making the online condemnation of Yin Zhu seem all the more powerful.
"Boss, the doubts surrounding Yin Zhu are growing louder, and some wavering people are being swayed by the narrative."
"Some people are comparing Yin Zhu to the chosen murderer from abroad, suspecting that Yin Zhu also has an antisocial personality, which is why he only entered the instance once and saw all the natives as dead, quickly realizing that the instance world is just a death replay. Now it seems that patriotism is just for profit, and once his own safety conflicts with Blue Star, he will decisively abandon Blue Star."
Han Jiuying whispered a reminder.
The situation escalated rapidly in just over ten minutes, making it hard to say there might be a mastermind behind it. However, this is no longer a problem the think tank needs to worry about right now.
The key point is that preventing people from speaking out is more dangerous than preventing a river from overflowing.
Arresting people won't solve the problem; some people might even escalate the issue to something like China betraying Earth.
After all, the example of Vina City serves as a warning; humans are indeed capable of such things.
Anzhi needs to give the public a reason why the think tank tolerates Yin Zhu so much in order to convince them to accept the think tank's choice.
While there may be hidden talents among the general public, many who question official decisions are not necessarily smarter than the think tanks; they are simply more confident. If these people are left unchecked, it's hard to say what kind of turmoil might be stirred up in China.
Anzhi could think of everything the think tank members said.
However, she must protect Yin Zhu.
An Zhi looked at everyone present and said, "You all continue with your work. Public opinion is not your responsibility. Don't get too distracted by irrelevant matters. If there are any issues that need to be decided while I'm away, Di Jia will make the judgment."
"Received." Di Jia stood at attention and saluted.
She then looked at her secretary standing to the side: "Prepare a press conference for me. I want to communicate with the public in an open and transparent manner."
Yin Zhu is indeed hiding something from the think tank, but she would never harm the public. An Zhi knows what Yin Zhu wants to do, but she will never expose him before Yin Zhu's plan is completed. After all, if the plan is promised to the public but ultimately fails, one can imagine how the chosen one will be ridiculed by disappointed and emotional people.
Therefore, An Zhi didn't trust anyone else to attend this meeting; he could only trust himself.
This matter received attention from higher-ups, and after being summoned for a meeting, Anzhi quickly received a notification to arrange a meeting.
Standing before a group of reporters, An Zhi was surprisingly calm. After fiddling with the microphone, she slowly addressed the crowd, saying, "I know that everyone is very concerned about the issue of the Dragon Kingdom's Chosen Ones and wants to know the think tank's attitude."
Everyone watched her in silence.
An Zhiye calmly observed everyone: "The Dragon Kingdom Think Tank will always be the Dragon Kingdom Think Tank, serving the Chosen Ones for the safety of the Dragon Kingdom. When the Chosen Ones stand with the people, we will always protect the interests of the Chosen Ones; when the Chosen Ones stand against the people, we will always protect the interests of the people."
"Why didn't the think tank disclose Yin Zhu's specific talents to the public when she concealed them?" a reporter asked sharply.
This person is a reporter arranged by the Chinese government itself. He will ask the questions that the public cares about most directly, so as to avoid other reporters exaggerating or embellishing such sensitive topics.
"This is the privacy of the chosen one. Currently, there is no second person on Earth with a golden talent, so the specific golden talent inclination is not relevant for the time being."
An Zhi did not delve into the question, but continued with what he had just said: "Vina City has proven that surrendering to the Unspeakable will only lead to being made into a copy, so the Dragon Kingdom will never surrender to the Unspeakable."
