This was Ling Yi's first time doing a live stream, so naturally he had no experience.
There was neither professional equipment nor any preparation.
They just picked a random name and started broadcasting.
However, the platform usually gives new streamers a boost in recommendations, and with a catchy title, the number of people entering the live stream room quickly increased.
A few scattered comments started appearing.
The very first comment made Ling Yi pause for a moment.
"Live-streaming fortune telling? Aren't the moderators here? Shouldn't these streamers who promote feudal superstition be banned?"
Can't you do fortune telling live? Ling Yi really didn't know that.
To be honest, he had never seen anyone do fortune telling on a live stream before.
Sure enough, a warning message popped up in the live stream the next moment!
[Super Admin 2257: Creating entertaining content is fine, but please, streamer, don't promote feudal superstition!]
"Is this the Legend super admin?" Ling Yi asked curiously.
Although Ling Yi had never streamed himself, he had at least watched other people's streams and knew about the existence of the moderators.
However, being targeted by the platform's moderators right after starting the broadcast is not a good thing.
"Ahem, moderator, I'm new here. I absolutely do not promote feudal superstition. This is a science livestream!"
Ling Yi was counting on earning "Shock Value " through his live stream, but he didn't expect to be banned like this.
Therefore, Ling Yi felt a little bit humble when facing the super moderator for the first time.
Since we can't say it's fortune telling, let's try to find another way to justify it.
"Hello everyone, my name is Ling Yi, Xiaomeng a newbie. There might be some misunderstandings about the word 'fortune telling' among you." Ling Yi's mind was working very fast at this moment.
"A more accurate term would be 'Karma Coordination Studies '!"
When the words "Karma Coordination Studies" were uttered, Ling Yi himself was taken aback. How did he come up with this name?
At this point, the number of viewers in the live stream started to increase, accumulating to a little over a hundred.
"I developed my own highly scientific Karma Algorithm with extremely high accuracy."
Ling Yi continued spouting nonsense.
"You all know about the butterfly effect, right? That's roughly the idea. As for the specific algorithm, sorry, that's my trade secret."
At this moment, Ling Yi gave himself a thumbs up for his excellence.
You see, fortune telling is no good, and the idea of Karma and effect and destiny is somewhat unscientific, but the butterfly effect—that should be quite scientific, right?
Simply put, destiny follows certain patterns: cause shapes destiny, and effect shapes fate.
"Once you grasp this pattern, you can use complex algorithms to know your past and future."
"This is neither metaphysics nor feudal superstition, but science."
Ling Yi offered a forced explanation.
"I know you don't believe me, so I'll cut to the chase and get straight to the point."
"Viewers in the live stream, you can freely state your real names and birthdays, and I can deduce your past and future."
"If you're right, give me a tip. If you're wrong, just report it. If the moderators are watching, they can ban my livestream instantly."
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he started staring at the live chat comments.
Because few people are watching, there aren't many comments.
"Are you serious, streamer? Then your stream might not make it past tonight."
"Causes become destiny, effects become fate; the anchor's explanation sounds rather sophisticated."
"It's just a publicity stunt. Although it's theoretically possible, how much computation would it require?"
"Hey upstairs, why don't you give it a try?"
"I'm definitely going to try it. If I get it right, I'll eat shit while standing on my head."
"They can even scam food and drinks like this?"
"My name is Guo Rui, and my birthday is February 19, 1983. Anchor, please begin your performance!"
Ling Yi smiled slightly. He wasn't afraid of anyone arguing; he was just afraid of the live stream going silent.
"You need to be sure these are your real name and date of birth. If they're fake, then it's meaningless."
The man replied, "Of course it's true. Enough talk, let's get started."
Ling Yi instantly opened the system interface...
After Ling Yi finished reading the person's biography, his expression became somewhat strange. After a moment's hesitation, he picked up another phone and, in front of everyone, dialed the reporting number.
"Hello, is this the inspector? I need to report something. I've discovered a Class A wanted criminal from three years ago, now named Guo Dahai, formerly Guo Rui, and his current location is..."
"Oh, by the way, Guo Rui is definitely preparing to run away now. If you want to know his escape route, you can follow my live stream. My live stream room number is..."
"Of course I'm not joking. I know the consequences. I'm serious."
The live stream viewers were dumbfounded, as was the internet administrator who was secretly watching. What the hell was this?
"It can't be true, can it? Making a false report is illegal." Some people couldn't believe it.
"Even movies wouldn't dare to film like this, what kind of crazy plot is this?"
"Where's that Guo Rui from earlier? Come out and say something."
"Wait, the streamer asked the inspectors to follow his live stream? I have to say, streamer, you're really something else."
At this moment, Ling Yi waved his phone in front of the camera, which displayed the emergency call that had just been hung up.
" Guo Rui should still be packing his things. He'll leave the residential area in about three minutes and drive towards Songyang Road."
"Has anyone checked the live stream? If so, please say something."
No sooner had Ling Yi finished speaking than a message was sent from an account belonging to the " Baihai City Inspection Brigade ".
"Answerer, the police from Baihai City Inspection Brigade have been dispatched and are expected to arrive at their destination in twenty minutes."
"We hope the streamer will take responsibility for their words. Spreading rumors and causing trouble carries a heavier penalty; the internet is not above the law."
Ling Yi nodded. "Don't worry, I will definitely take responsibility for what I say."
"To be honest, I never expected that my first time doing a fortune telling... cough cough, a fortune telling for someone would lead me to a wanted criminal!"
"Oh wow, this guy is probably still watching the live stream. He's changed his route now, turning from Songyang Road onto Mount Hua Road. He's driving a white sedan, and the license plate number is..."
"Sure enough, this guy is watching the live stream. He's changed his route again, now taking a side road. But taking this road is suicide; it's a dead end. Alright, this guy can't escape now."
Ling Yi had been researching Guo Rui's life records, so no matter how Guo Rui tried to escape, Ling Yi knew everything about him.
But the viewers in the live stream were completely confused. They couldn't see the live feed and didn't know whether Ling Yi was telling the truth or not.
"That's really interesting. Speaking of which, this guy is unlucky. There are countless paths in life, but which one is the dead end? If he had just chosen any other path, he could have struggled for a little longer," Ling Yi laughed.
Although there weren't many viewers in the live stream, the number of comments on the screen increased significantly.
"I don't believe the script!"
"If you had hired an actor, at least we could Unification, and that would be some kind of work. You're just relying on talking!"
"Exactly! This streamer has absolutely no respect for the audience. Trash streamer! Unfollow!"
"Hey bro upstairs, is it possible you haven't followed the streamer yet?"
"Hey, I'm used to saying that!"
"Stop just talking the talk! You called him a trash streamer, so why don't you leave?"
"We need to know the result. If it's true, that's a real problem. Either the streamer is a fortune teller, or there's something seriously wrong with the streamer."
"Of course, most importantly, the account of the Baihai City Inspection Brigade is a legitimate official account."
"If it's fake, then the streamer is reporting a false report, shouldn't we do a good deed? winks"
"Absolutely!"
Same as the person upstairs!
Ling Yi kept staring at the live chat. Seeing these Yin and Yang remarks, Ling Yi was not angry at all; on the contrary, he was very happy.
Wouldn't that generate buzz?
Just then, a connection request popped up in the live stream room.
The account that requested the connection was called " I Am Lawless," and that account belonged to Guo Rui himself.
There's still time to request a connection; I don't need to guess what Guo Rui will say later.
But isn't this just eagerly giving yourself publicity?
Ling Yi agreed without hesitation.
The next moment, the live stream room split in two.
The moment the image appeared, before I could even see who it was, the person on the other side started spewing profanities.
" Ling Yi, is it? I'll fucking remember you. Don't let me catch you off Laozi, or I'll kill you, beep beep beep, beep beep beep..."
While this guy was swearing, the Yinyin sound of a police siren could be heard.
Before the viewers in the live stream could react, and before Ling Yi could say anything, the screen went black.
Clearly, this person's account was banned due to its excessive use of vulgar language.
Well, the connection turned out to be empty.
However, this scene also generated a lot of buzz in the live stream.
"He's panicking! He's panicking!"
"Did you hear the sirens? Wait for the results!"
"I just searched online and actually found a wanted criminal named Guo Rui. Wow, this guy's ruthless!"
"Upstairs, you'll be punished by heaven for only saying half of what you mean."
"Brother, typing takes time, doesn't it? Your curse is too cruel. Guo Rui is the ruthless guy from the Peng Family Village case three years ago, the one who wiped out a whole family of three over a mere argument."
"Now, I'm asking you, are you scared, streamer!"
"Seriously, if this isn't scripted, does the streamer actually know how to tell fortunes?"
Ling Yi shrugged at the comments and said, "What am I afraid of? Do you guys think this kind of scum can get out after being arrested?"
Guo Rui's fate is only one: he'll be eating peanuts, and he'll have to come out of hiding.
What comes out next might not be a person, but a ghost, assuming that ghosts even exist in this world.
"Also, this isn't fortune telling, it's Karma Coordination Algorithm, it's science, so don't talk nonsense!"
Ling Yi didn't want his livestream account to be banned, so he absolutely refused to admit that he was a fortune teller on the livestream.
Just then, Ling Yi's phone rang; the caller ID showed an unknown number.
Because there are so many scam calls these days, they're practically everywhere and impossible to guard against. Ling Yi receives two or three scam calls every month.
Therefore, upon seeing an unfamiliar number, Ling Yi instinctively assumed it was a scam call.
If this is a scam call, wouldn't we be able to keep up the antics?
A complete one-stop service for answering calls from unknown numbers, including connecting, playing on speakerphone, recording, and answering calls from unknown numbers.
"Hello, my name is Chen Ke, and I'm the Captain of the Baihai City Inspection Brigade!"
From the very first sentence, Ling Yi knew that this was most likely not a scam call. After all, Guo Rui had just been arrested, so it was perfectly normal for investigators to call him now.
But why did it sound like there was an echo in Chen Ke's phone call?
No, it can't be an echo. How could an echo be delayed and so clear?
Could this person be watching a live stream?
"Uh, Captain Chen, hello!"
"Since you've turned on the speakerphone, I'll use your live stream to report the results."
