Chapter 1398: Rat Excrement
“Recently, the well-known technology group Fukang has experienced another incident of its employees jumping off a building. This is already the 16th incident of an employee falling off a building in the past month, and it has caused widespread public discussion. Our reporter has specially interviewed the President of Fukang Group, Mr. Guo Zimin, for this.”
The reporter, who looked pure and innocent like the little sister next door, raised the microphone in front of a middle-aged man who was wearing a suit, had a green water ghost, and exuded the aura of a successful person.
“Nice to meet you, President Guo. May I ask what you think about the recent series of incidents of Fukang jumping off a building?”
Guo Ziming looked at the microphone in front of him with a pained expression on his face, “The emergence of such incidents is always a pity and has already attracted the attention of the group. The management of the group has invited social and psychological experts to conduct research on related issues, hoping to find out the reason as soon as possible so as to reduce the possibility of related incidents happening.”
Just when the female reporter thought that President Guo was going to use cliches to deal with this interview, she did not expect Guo Zimin to suddenly change the topic and continue, “Of course, as the president, I can’t get away with this kind of incident. However, I feel that we can’t look at the problem from a single point of view. There has been a lot of news about suicides recently, and it’s not just our Fukang family. As far as I know, there are also many young people who commit suicide in Japan. By the way, what is the suicide rate in Japan?”
Of course, the female reporter wouldn’t know about this, so she could only smile awkwardly.
Meanwhile, Guo Ziming was still speaking with confidence, “I’ve also consulted the relevant psychological experts. Although we have 16 employees who committed suicide, compared to the total number of nearly 500,000 employees in the company, this suicide rate is actually not considered high. The experts told me that it’s below the normal line.”
The female reporter opened her small mouth in a daze, as if she was deeply shocked by president Guo’s brazen self-righteousness.
She wanted to say something else, but she saw that the staff members in the same industry were already gesturing to her to end the interview and cut the scene back to the live broadcast room.
However, in the next moment, something that no one could have imagined suddenly happened.
A black shadow jumped down from the roof of the headquarters of the Fukang group behind Guo Ziming. It was as if he had no attachment to the world.
In the end, it didn’t matter if he wanted to die, but this jump landed on the head of Guo Ziming, who was complaining about social problems. Guo Ziming felt as if his head was suddenly covered by a black shadow, before he could figure out what had happened, he was hit on the head by a huge force and died on the spot.
The female reporter who was interviewing at the side was covered in blood. When she saw the two bodies on the ground that had become a bloody mess, she finally couldn’t bear it anymore and let out a scream.
Fortunately, just as she was about to help the people of the country test the loudest volume of the television speakers, the camera cut back to the live broadcast room ahead of time. However, the two anchors who were supposed to save the situation also looked at each other at this time, there was a brief silence.
Shen Xixi turned off the television. It had been a month and a half since that night in the valley. Just as she had feared, the lord of lalaiya had left his cage, the gods and players who had gone after Zhang Heng were not the only ones to suffer. In fact, the negative impact of the incident had already begun to show.
The most obvious thing was that the suicide rate had started to rise sharply recently. The majority of the dead were people with high mental acuity, mainly artists and creators, but also ordinary people with autistic personalities, their deaths were varied. Shen Xixi, Rabbit, and the others had collected similar news reports, and there had been more than 200 of them so far.
Of course, this number might not be too exaggerated in the eyes of the whole country, but it had indeed begun to attract heated public discussion, however, at this moment, whether it was ordinary people or experts and scholars, their focus was on the fast-paced life and the stress of modern people. The experts suggested that everyone should do more exercise and learn to reduce their stress.
However, it seemed that this suggestion was of no use at the moment. The suicide rate in society continued to rise. At the same time, some mysterious societies began to quietly emerge, they disguised themselves as social clubs or fan clubs, but once someone really joined them, they would soon be instilled with some strange things.
For example, “Glorious completion”or “Great Awakening.”However, these mysterious clubs with suspicious appearances did not charge any membership fees. Instead, they would give out some things from time to time, for example, strange statue products or some jewelry that glittered like gold. This caused some people who liked to take advantage of others to sign up.
The police immediately noticed these strange clubs and organized a large-scale investigation operation in the middle of this month, hoping to strike hard before these clubs failed, they killed them one by one in the cradle.
However, the operation unexpectedly fell into a mire. These clubs themselves were not difficult to clean up, but the problem was that once one group was killed, another group would soon appear, like a sprouting bamboo shoot after a rain, moreover, after capturing the main brain and backbone of the societies, how to deal with it had become a headache.
Under the current legal provisions, it was very difficult to give them severe punishments. After all, at this stage, they had not done anything too excessive. They had only absorbed members and distributed small gifts, moreover, what made people even more speechless was that once they were imprisoned, the entire prison would soon become a place for them to absorb members. It was simply like a rat’s feces. No matter where they were thrown, they could quickly contaminate a pot of porridge.
Moreover, there was more bad news recently than this. Both the players and the gods decisively took action when they realized that the situation was heading in an uncontrollable direction. They took the initiative to unite together, even the mysterious organization that specialized in assassinating gods chose to temporarily reconcile with the gods at this time. They even offered up the god-slaying bullets in their hands.
The gods were all furious when they saw the god-slaying bullets. However, in the end, they maintained their restraint. This was not the right time for internal strife, regardless of whether it was the humans or the gods, both sides had a common enemy, and they needed to work together to deal with it.
Even if they wanted to settle the score, that would be after they dealt with Zhang Heng. However, the gods, who had the god-slaying bullets and the allies of the humans, took the initiative to fight Zhang Heng several times with confidence. In the end, the result was not ideal.
In the beginning, both sides were still at odds with each other. The gods even managed to suppress Zhang Heng for a time. With Zeus, Odin, and the god of science, Saenz, as the leaders, the gods’strongest force successfully dealt a heavy blow to Zhang Heng in an ambush, the latter was heavily injured, but in the end, it was all for naught and Zhang Heng managed to escape.
From then on, Zhang Heng only operated on the sea. After Poseidon, who was in charge of scouting, was killed by Zhang Heng, the gods completely lost track of Zhang Heng. What was worse was that everyone knew that.., as time went on, Zhang Heng would only become more and more difficult to deal with.
