The Supreme Bureau's alert order caused a huge uproar online, with everyone hoping that the Aberrant Monster could be killed immediately.
Just then, Lin Youqi reappeared and posted on Weibo.
This time, however, it wasn't a feigned show of support for Jiang Nuo Jiang Nuo, but rather a questioning of his ability to handle the situation, especially given that he had caused even more deaths.
In his words, he directly fabricated a story that Jiang Nuo was responsible for the escape of the Aberrant Monster, and even included information about all the victims in the death case.
In a state of confusion and fear, people's sensitivity to information processing and their ability to make judgments both decrease.
They only see "evidence and truth".
In less than an hour, public opinion on the internet shifted again. People incited by Lin Youqi began to hurl insults at Jiang Nuo, venting their fear with anger.
"I told you long ago that Jiang Nuo wasn't a good person. Someone who deals with ghosts all the time will definitely become a vengeful ghost in the end!"
"Why would Jiang Nuo do such a thing? He really is a madman! Who can stop him?!"
"Yes, those monsters look even scarier than ghosts. No one but Jiang Nuo could create such monsters!"
Such remarks began to flood the entire internet.
Lin Youqi meant that if Jiang Nuo were allowed to intervene, even more people would likely die.
At a time when public opinion was at its peak, Jiang Nuo surprisingly responded to Lin Youqi's Weibo.
Jiang Nuo: @Lin Youqi Don't worry, you'll be next to die.
Netizens who just refreshed to this page:???
So you've finally stopped pretending, huh?
I thought I would get an explanation from Jiang Nuo, but instead I only got this Weibo that was no different from a provocation.
The entire internet is shocked!
Just because Lin Youqi questioned Jiang Nuo, he's the next one to die. And who's next? Is it some netizen who also criticized Jiang Nuo on Weibo?
While they were filled with fear, they also launched an even larger-scale attack on Jiang Nuo with unbridled accusations.
Perhaps at this moment, every irrational person is thinking, "Since so many people have cursed Jiang Nuo, even if he kills them one by one, he certainly won't harm them."
Even more concerning, some have begun to question whether the Supreme Bureau, having issued a warning order, should also step in to punish Jiang Nuo.
The account manager of the Supreme Bureau:...
Are you kidding me?! It's so dangerous now, and you're taking away the only one who can fight? What's the point of fighting then? They'll all be dead!

Jiang Nuo tossed her phone aside, her eyes still bloodshot.
Thirty minutes had passed since the countdown began, and all association members went out to search for the constantly splitting Aberrant Monster.
Si Yan was worried that he would lose control, so she tried many methods to calm him down, the most effective of which was kissing.
Are you feeling better?
Hearing Si Yan's voice, Jiang Nuo nodded slowly, her voice hoarse, "Mm."
He suddenly raised his hand and touched Si Yan's cheek, his pupils trembling slightly.
"Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
"No."
Si Yan kissed his lips again, his voice low and husky, "I won't ask. As long as Nuonuo believes that this world is real, and so am I."
He didn't ask, but for the first time, Jiang Nuo wanted to say something to sort out the chaos in her mind.
"Hell-level six-star was the last dungeon I entered; I died countless times..."
He spoke each word carefully, as if recalling something or confirming something.
I need some memories that are enough to convince myself that I have escaped the instance and returned.
But the more I try to recall it, the more blurred it becomes.
Jiang Nuo doesn't quite remember how she escaped the instance, nor does she remember whether the instance was ultimately destroyed.
That's why he found it increasingly difficult to distinguish between them.
Is this really reality?
Si Yan listened intently, hearing Jiang Nuo recount each death as Fantasy, and hearing Jiang Nuo recall each of his deaths.
He felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
"Okay, Nuonuo... Nuonuo."
Si Yan held Jiang Nuo tightly, his Adam's apple bobbing as he choked back tears, "Don't say anymore."
Jiang Nuo was slightly taken aback, then suddenly looked up at him.
Are you crying?
A look of confusion finally surfaced in his bloodshot eyes; he seemed somewhat helpless. "I'm not saying anything more. Why are you crying?"
Perhaps it was out of pity; Si Yan often said she felt sorry for him.
For some reason, Jiang Nuo began to feel reality; the constant memories of death were replaced by her vivid interactions with Si Yan.
He stood up and glanced out the window at the still-rolling countdown.
35:29:15...
"I just happened to find out about the Good Luck Society today, and the Aberrant Monster couldn't wait to show up."
Jiang Nuo's tone gradually returned to calm, but Si Yan could sense that he hadn't fully recovered; he was like a taut, sharp blade, eager to be drawn.
" Lin Youqi deliberately tried to provoke me and incite negative emotions among netizens, which is undoubtedly related to luck."
Si Yan stood behind him, understanding the meaning behind Jiang Nuo's words. "He doesn't want us to get into the Good Luck Society."
Jiang Nuo nodded, "Kill the monsters first."
On the other side, Lin Youqi, who was angered by Jiang Nuo's response, seemed even more nervous than Jiang Nuo.
"My lord, Jiang Nuo's response doesn't seem like anger or panic at all. Can we really succeed?"
The spacious basement was filled with all sorts of Evil Spirit Mirror.
The believers knelt in an open space covered by mirrors, their foreheads pressed to the ground in a respectful manner, which was quite eerie.
The esteemed person sat behind a curtain, only their figure appearing and disappearing in the shadows.
"That's Jiang Nuo, how could she be easily fooled?"
His voice was both male and female, as if his throat had been cut, and it sounded extremely harsh.
Behind the curtain, withered fingers inside the wide sleeves were twisting a shriveled cylinder.
"I will definitely win this dungeon," he murmured to himself, his black eyes, fixed on the curtain, filling their entire sockets.
In a corner of the basement, the two policemen, bound and forced to pray, and Zhou Ling exchanged glances. Seeing that the prayer ceremony was progressing well, they prepared to cover Wu Chou was hiding in the shadows, to leave and report the news.
Zhou Ling had been secretly communicating with Wu Chou through the token, but since she had entered in a bridal sedan chair, she was more familiar with the area.
Fortunately, when she came in, the so-called adult thought she was just an ordinary person.
Magic severed the ropes, lowered white eyes flickered, and red lips murmured incantations.
The nearest believer suddenly became dazed and slowly crawled forward, blocking Zhou Ling's path.
Zhou Ling immediately took out the star chart, placed the association token on it, and bit her middle finger to draw blood.
Suddenly, a demonic phantom several meters tall emerged from the star chart, exuding an extremely oppressive aura.
"Oh no!" Lin Youqi exclaimed, "She's from the Dao Xuan Association!"
The adult scoffed, "Subdue her! Perfect for a sacrifice!"
All attention was drawn to Zhou Ling.
Wu Chou took advantage of the chaos to escape and left the crematorium as quickly as possible.
35:19:10...
The Aberrant Monster spread rapidly, covering the entire city.
The original form that the association members were desperately searching for had vanished without a trace. Fortunately, after continuous testing, it was found that the split Aberrant Monster could not split a second time, and at least their numbers were not out of control.
With the addition of Jiang Nuo and Si Yan, the number of Aberrant Monster began to decrease dramatically.
But danger never disappears simply because it is stopped.
