"No, waiting like this is not an option. I'm going to go into that county to have a look." Some people have been waiting for a few hours, but the surroundings are all farmland and wilderness, and the increasingly thick fog makes some people feel...
Getting more and more impatient.
"Are you crazy?" His companion was surprised.
"How can you catch tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den?" The man gritted his teeth, "The company promised that if something happens to me, it will pay huge compensation to my family. I plan to take a gamble!"
It was like a virus started to spread among people. After the first impatient person appeared, more and more people felt the same emotions emerging from their bodies.
This growing sense of irritability began to stimulate people's minds, and even gradually overshadowed the fear of the county town in front of them that was shrouded in spiritual power.
Many people had already opened the car doors and jumped out, taking out cameras, microphones and various professional equipment.
In fact, many people started the live broadcast a few hours ago. Due to Jiutian's various behaviors in the past two days, the number of viewers at the beginning of these live broadcasts was quite large. However, after a long time, the screen was still an old and small one.
County seat, so its popularity began to gradually decline.
For today's commercial media, the most important thing is to grab enough hot topics. Therefore, as long as they can pay a sufficient price, many of them are willing to risk their lives to collect information.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and coupled with the inexplicable emotional stimulation in my heart, the first group of people finally started to move towards the county seat.
"Senior, look!" The young man who was leaning against the car door at first lit up, "Someone is getting in."
"I saw it." Through the telephoto lens, middle-aged people saw what happened more clearly than young people.
However, compared to the excitement of the young people, there is a trace of worry in the eyes of the middle-aged man. His years as a reporter have given him a keen sense of crisis.
"Something's not right..." The middle-aged man muttered to himself, and for some unknown reason, he began to feel impatient in his heart, and he also had the urge to rush into that dangerous county.
"Meow-"
A black cat stood on a tall tree and growled.
Its tail swayed around, looking at the strangers who were gradually approaching.
At the same time, the kittens that were grooming themselves leisurely became alert and began to climb onto various buildings with wide views to monitor the reporters from all directions.
This county is not big, but there are a lot of stray cats of all kinds. They are scattered all over the land, and they can be called the most flexible "camera".
Their smart eyes are collecting all the information around them and sharing it into someone's mind without their knowledge.
Jiutian stood on the balcony and looked into the distance with cold eyes.
In his mind, nearly thirty pictures were mapped at the same time, which were all from the vision of different stray cats. At this moment, he used the connection of mental power to connect the souls of these small animals. What was happening around the entire county
All in sight.
"As expected, an instrument that can detect spiritual power? If I expand the scope of the illusion, I guess these people won't even dare to look here, right?" Jiutian murmured to himself.
As one of the many forces in the universe, mental power can naturally be detected. In particular, the fluctuations of mental power have some similarities with the human brain wave signals, so similar detectors were quickly invented.
.
It's just that with today's human technology, this kind of detector cannot reach the level used by the Star Raider in terms of accuracy and size, and even requires a truck to carry it.
The greatest significance of this kind of detector is that it can know whether the current environment has the ability to target the soul.
For example, at present, those reporters on the outskirts of the county have guessed in advance that an illusion has been set up here. Although they are still helpless in the face of this situation, at least they are not ignorant.
Of course, if Jiutian wanted to, he could immediately spread the surrounding illusion to cover those people. Not to mention that this detection method was too inferior and a bit arrogant.
Now that Jiutian is able to cover the entire Huaxia Kingdom with his mental power, do the dozens of reporters gathered really think that they can circumvent his ability with those low-quality things?
It's just that for Jiutian, it's not necessary to take the initiative to attack. After all, the arrival of these reporters is not necessarily a bad thing.
"Okay, under your guidance, nineteen people have entered the illusion." Feiya said standing behind him.
Those irritable emotions that breed in everyone's hearts naturally cannot be born without reason. Among the several secret techniques that Jiutian has learned, there is one called "Memetic Invasion". This secret technique can give the affected person without their knowledge.
Implanting and spreading negative emotions can lead to guidance, and it consumes almost no mental energy.
"After reading their memories, let them go." Jiutian said, "Be careful to identify those abnormal people. If I guess correctly, there should be some other people mixed in among these reporters, and they are the targets.
"
"I know." Feiya nodded, "But I'm curious, why don't you directly control those reporters and let them report something beneficial to you?"
"Because it's meaningless," Jiutian said. "What these reporters report is what the people behind them want them to report. They are just a pen and a mouth. As long as they dare to say anything else, they will be
Kicked out immediately."
"It is not these reporters who really control world public opinion, but the platforms behind those reporters."
Jiutian sees clearly that the information people see is what others want them to see. Using this method to control public opinion and influence the situation is a common trick used by many media platforms. Simply controlling some reporters cannot do it.
any practical effect.
In the sight of the stray cats, all the reporters who were tainted by their emotions had already entered the county town.
"After reading, only one of the nineteen people is a latent species, and the rest are ordinary people." Feiya's eyes flashed with white light.
"Let's continue to wait. The stronger the evolvers, the higher their resistance to the "Memetic Invasion". There is a high probability that they will appear among the last few people." Jiutian said.
"Who are you looking for?" Feiya was a little curious.
"It's not a person, it's a bait." Jiutian grinned, "You should also know that the secret will be a vertical management method, which means that even if I wipe out all their strongholds, I will not be able to harm their real top management.
As time goes by, those strongholds can still be slowly rebuilt."
"That's why you didn't eliminate all the strongholds marked by the wandering wolves, not because you didn't want to, but because you were too lazy." Feiya said.
"More or less, destroying some of the easier ones is a declaration of war. The rest of the strongholds are basically deep underground." Jiutian nodded, "And what I want to find today are people related to the elders of the Secret Society.
Only by finding those elders can we truly touch the key points of the secret society."
"Are you so sure there is someone you want among this group of people?" Feiya asked.
"Not sure, that's why I say they are bait, not the fish themselves." Jiutian said with a smile.
"Dongfang Yi is an extremely tolerant guy. He will not take any action until he is sure that he can kill me completely. He would even rather give all his strongholds to me to kill, so he will not act rashly."
"So I can only use other methods." A trace of fierceness flashed in Jiutian's eyes.
"What?" Feiya became interested.
"I want him to lose what he values most." Jiutian said.
"Sometimes I really don't know which one of you is the villain." Feiya sighed, "Do you think this is a line that a good person should say?"
"I never said I was a good person." Jiutian shrugged.
Outside the county town, not long after the first group of people entered, maybe only four or five minutes later, those people came out.
But after they came out, the expressions on those people's faces were obviously dull, and they looked like they were dazed from sleep.
"What's going on? Why did I get transferred out?" Someone was stunned when they saw the scene outside.
"Huh? Strange, why am I here?"
The eyes of the people who came out gradually regained their radiance, and then they were surprised to find that they had already walked out.
"Senior, look, those people are not injured." The young man said excitedly, "Shall we go in and take a look too?"
"There's no rush." The middle-aged man's weathered skin had a sense of vicissitudes like tree bark, "Let's have a look."
Soon, the first batch of people who entered the county were surrounded by people from outside. People who had never been in asked what it was like inside, and those who had been in couldn't tell clearly because they didn't remember it at all.
But there is no doubt that those people were not substantially injured, and their minds seemed to be intact, so the rest of them became bolder.
"This illusion is actually not offensive at all. It seems that it simply doesn't want us to enter." Someone analyzed this situation.
"My guess is that this moon demon is probably afraid of killing too many people, so in the end we reported some things that were unfavorable to him, right?"
"You think too highly of yourself. He even dared to smash down a building in Manhattan. What does it mean to kill you, a young reporter?"
Everyone began to discuss the candidates for the second batch of candidates while talking to each other.
The second group of people who wanted to enter the county town was obviously much larger than the first group. There were 37 people in total. They were blocked on the not-so-wide street and seemed a bit crowded.
The middle-aged man was still not included, and the young man following him was also forcibly held back by him.
The black cat crouching on top of the uncle suddenly became a little restless. It stretched out its sharp claws, as if it was excited when it saw prey.
