Jiang Nuo's words were like a slap in the face, making the faces of these creators of the Bone Witch Tribe's divine secrets sting.
The high priest opened his mouth and closed it again, unable to find any rebuttal, and knew that his behavior was wrong.
Seeing that they were speechless after being scolded, Jiang Nuo changed the subject.
"Under those circumstances, there was truly no other way, so we resorted to this desperate measure. But now, there are clearly other ways to let the people know the truth."
"But you've stubbornly persisted down this path, the influence of power having long since led you astray from your original intentions."
The high priest bowed his head and sighed deeply, not daring to refute.
On the altar, Chu Xiu and Lin Yu were drenched in sweat, truly unable to contain the overwhelming emotions of their people.
Jiang Nuo toyed with the Eight Treasures Gourd in his hand and negotiated with the High Priest, "I will return the souls to my people, and you will tell them the truth, how about it?"
"Ah! This..."
The high priest hesitated again.
"We agree." The Nuo shamans, who had been silent, all agreed with Jiang Nuo.
Thus, even if the high priest was unwilling, he had no choice.
--
"Quiet down!"
The high priest led the crowd onto the platform, raising his arms to signal the people to calm down.
The explanation of the truth is often the most shocking.
Jiang Nuo pulled Si Yan to watch from the side of the altar, witnessing the tribespeople go from being calmed down by the priest to being angry and incredulous after hearing the truth, with some even fainting from emotional distress.
Only when the mouth of the Eight Treasures Gourd was opened, the living souls were released, their relatives awoke, and the people who had been in a state of great panic gradually regained their senses.
Viewers in the live chat were also deeply saddened by the plight of their people, and some even took the initiative to try to find ways online to get official organizations to discover this ethnic group that had been overlooked by civilization.
However, viewers belatedly realized that this variety show has long been supported by official organizations in Hua Country.
I checked the official Weibo account of the Dao Xuan Association and sure enough, I saw the latest Weibo saying that once the guest team returns from their expedition, someone will be arranged to meet them immediately. They will make sure that the people have the opportunity to come into contact with modern civilization and find ways for them to continue to survive in society.
[ Bone Witch Tribe Mystery Side Quest Progress: 100%]
[Side quest completed by the player detected, points +500]
With all the secrets revealed, the remaining members of the guest group breathed a sigh of relief and finally received their text messages.
"Congratulations to our guest on completing the adventure. The return bus is waiting outside the hotel. Please lead all surviving tourists away."
Of course, there was more than one bus returning, and the production team did not intend for the surviving tourists to know that this was a live broadcast.
The live stream only ended after they got into the car and left the long, dark tunnel.
What followed was a flood of trending topics and related discussions, almost entirely dominated by this live stream.
In the earlier episodes, only fans were watching, and there were doubts about whether it was true or false.
But this episode was broadcast live in its entirety with no false information, and it was backed by a trustworthy official organization in Hua Country, which is tantamount to directly telling the public that there are indeed many mysterious things in this world that cannot be explained by science.
Jiang Nuo, who shone brightly on the show, has become a popular topic of conversation among casual viewers.
Fans also seized the opportunity for promotion, and videos of various highlights were uploaded as soon as the live stream ended.
While rewatching these videos, passersby were surprised to find that wherever Jiang Nuo was, Si Yan would always be by her side, never leaving her for a moment.
Si Yan's own popularity has taken this promotion to a whole new level, with the CP (couple) super topic moving directly to the top of the rankings.
The unscrupulous fans who were cautiously shipping the couple suddenly found themselves in a huge villa overnight, and while surprised, they didn't forget to promote the sweet moments the two had shared in the past.
After all, their idols are completely open about it! They've been kissing and hugging on the show! So what if they're a little arrogant?
So, have Si Yan and Jiang Nuo gone public with their relationship today?
This topic jumped straight to the top of the trending list, with enthusiastic word-of-mouth recommendations everywhere.
However, this also drew dissatisfaction and ridicule from Lin Yu's fans and other haters.
Feathers Fluttering: How dare someone's fans jump around on the trending list? Does he even remember how many people this episode killed?!
Rainbow Six Siege: LOL, your God Nuo is a psychopathic killer!
Yu Yuyu: A Man was tortured to such an extent by him, I can't believe how vicious he can be in real life!
Zhen Likes You: Jiang Nuo can't just leave the entertainment industry?? What if he disliked a fellow artist colleague? Would he be this ruthless? How terrifying...
Degege: Imperial Capital Public Security First there was Tian Dong, then the Bone Witch Tribe members. Jiang Nuo has so many lives on his hands, doesn't the police care at all? Is it because he has special abilities that he has the power of pardon?!
The head of the Imperial Capital Public Security's account, which was being bombarded with tags. "..."
"Manage? Manage what? How dare the police manage such things! Jiang Nuo did indeed kill those who deserved to die."
Besides, those above him all have Jiang Nuo's backing, so what's there to worry about?
Nomi Town Zombies: LOL! Anyone who didn't know better would think your main character was killed by Jiang Nuo too! Friendly reminder: Jiang Nuo only kills those who deserve to die!
Please don't stay up late: Beware of negative consequences if you take offense!
Qin, who's always so kind: Oh my~ Since the living bodhisattvas in the comments are so reluctant to part with those damned people A Man, why don't you also worship them as gods and make proper offerings to them~
Amidst the online debate between fans and critics, Lin Yu surprisingly posted a Weibo.
Lin Yu: This adventure was very interesting, thanks to @Jiang Nuo's protection. I hope there will be an opportunity to cooperate again next time.
This Weibo fueled the already sympathetic fans' speculations, with many believing that Lin Yu was forced to Weibo by his company.
What's even more infuriating is that Jiang Nuo hasn't responded at all since the Weibo was published, completely disregarding Lin Yu.
Rumors circulated online that the luxury handbag brand that should have belonged to Lin Yu had also extended an olive branch to Jiang Nuo on Weibo, with the message implying that they wanted to invite Jiang Nuo to become their new product spokesperson.
This thoroughly enraged Lin Yu's fans, and a fierce online battle erupted. Various curses and gossip gradually overshadowed any positive publicity for Jiang Nuo.
Jiang Nuo still has not responded.
It wasn't that they didn't respond on purpose; it was that Cui Ming wouldn't allow it.
" That Zhou Bapi actually made you respond to Lin Yu? How can he be an entertainment company boss!"
Cui Ming was so angry when he saw the message that he jumped up and down.
Jiang Nuo sat playing on her phone, then silently raised her hand, "Why can't I respond?"
" Lin Yu is clearly doing this on purpose! He's feigning goodwill so his fans will think you're being arrogant."
Cui Ming has been an agent for so many years, so he can still see through these kinds of tactics.
"Why do you think that brand would choose this particular time to extend an olive branch to you?"
Jiang Nuo still didn't understand, her head spinning. "Why?"
