Chapter 339: Chapter 270 Criticism

"What does that mean? The one who just made a move was the Xingxiao Sect Master?"

"So, that wasn’t Lin Xing’s memory at all?"

"Then this is indeed just a movie, right?"

"Lin Xing staged this whole thing just to praise Xingxiao and his master?"

"Isn’t he actually defaming Xingxiao? Didn’t you see in the movie how many innocent people Xingxiao killed?"

Upon Xingxiao’s appearance, the netizens watching the live stream suddenly exploded with a massive amount of opinions and comments.

They didn’t know why Lin Xing would do this, so various speculations and criticisms burst forth like a flood.

Meanwhile, in the live stream, the Reincarnation Platform had already stopped operating.

And unlike the torrential surge of comments and bullet-screen texts, Lin Xing in front of the camera seemed exceptionally calm.

He slowly said, "As I mentioned earlier, the Reincarnation Platform can play back a person’s memories, and what was just played was indeed the memory I obtained from the Xingxiao Sect Leader."

Hearing Lin Xing’s words, some viewers suddenly remembered Lin Xing indeed had not said that the memories he was going to play back were his own.

Yet, a part of the netizens became even angrier, thinking that Lin Xing was fooling the public, deceiving people.

Lin Xing continued, "Xingxiao possesses the ability to predict the future, and the memory that was just displayed comes from his prediction of the future."

"Tomorrow, New Ke City will face an unprecedented disaster."

"And what we need now is for all of us to work together to prevent the outbreak of this catastrophe."

Then Lin Xing began to recount some details from the memory just played.

"Also, the girl in black is not Bai Yiyi; she’s merely a puppet with a similar appearance. She has many puppet doppelgängers, all with similar looks, and they are probably already lurking within New Ke City..."

"The dark clouds in the sky come from the evil influence of Mirror World, which is the particular power that’s causing many people to mutate, turning them into monsters..."

"If we let this event explode, the evil influence will not only turn millions of New Ke City citizens into monsters but could even affect the entire world..."

Originally, as the performance progressed, Lin Xing’s popularity had skyrocketed.

And today’s live broadcast, after one hour of spreading, had seen a wild surge in viewers, becoming the most-watched live event in the history of the modern world.

Thereby, in just the short time it took Lin Xing to tell these details, the bullet-screen comments and commentary exploded like a volcanic eruption, impossible to fully read.

Aside from a small number of people who took Lin Xing’s serious and solemn words with a grain of belief,

The majority of the public completely disbelieved the information Lin Xing had shared.

"Predicting the future now, seriously? It’s getting more and more ridiculous."

"End of the world tomorrow? Just get on with it."

"As everyone knows, videos can’t be faked, so it must be true."

"Is Lin Xing under too much pressure lately..."

"Don’t you understand such a simple misdirection? He doesn’t want to reveal his secret to cultivation, so he’s trying to steer the conversation towards Xingxiao."

Some treated the Lin Xing in the live stream as a clown, sending off various teasing messages.

Others felt that Lin Xing had ulterior motives, accusing him of sensationalism, defamation, misdirection, creating panic... an unending stream of criticism emerged.

But Lin Xing, as if he had seen none of it, calmly shared various pieces of information, then directly turned off the live stream.

Xingxiao’s Illusion laughed and said, "Done, now that they have my memory, those people will soon start to move."

Lin Xing looked at him and said, "If you have this memory, then why does Xingxiao not know the relevant information today? Or does he know... but he doesn’t want to stop it?"

Xingxiao’s Illusion confidently said, "Because the memory of that rebirth was taken away by me."

"And if ’he’ really knew about this, he would never stand by and do nothing."

"In fact, if you hadn’t rushed out and exposed your strength first, it’s likely ’he’ would have taken action immediately rather than waiting to benefit as a third party."

Elsewhere, as Lin Xing’s live stream ended, many netizens clearly didn’t intend to let Lin Xing off the hook. The viewers from the live stream quickly dispersed to every corner of the internet, as the content of Lin Xing’s broadcast began to spread explosively.

Mockery, criticism, conspiracy theories... they emerged incessantly.

Among them, the fastest spreading were GIFs and videos ridiculing and making fun of Lin Xing.

Bai Yiyi opened her mobile phone and casually glanced through it, only to realize that she had been dragged into the mess and criticized as well, stomping her foot in anger, "Idiots, they don’t realize the calamity is upon them, and when kindly warned, they even scold me."

Looking at the comment section that was almost entirely filled with critical voices, Bai Yiyi couldn’t help activating the selective comment feature.

But after enabling it, she couldn’t resist looking at other people’s shares and searching for topics related to herself.

"BYY turned off commenting after getting hit."

"Already giving up?"

"I once watched one of her live streams, all hot air, looking down on this and that, I don’t get what the fuss is about, I turned it off after three minutes."

"It’s all for show; who still cares about Lin Xing’s cultivation secrets?"

As Bai Yiyi couldn’t help but keep checking her phone, her emotions went through drastic fluctuations.

From righteous indignation to frustration and anger, then to annoyance and gloom, downhearted.

Bai Yiyi quickly put down her cell phone, no longer wanting to look at its content.

Jing Shiyu, on the other hand, looked at Lin Xing with concern. With her experience in the present world, the experience of being repeatedly insulted on the internet could easily have an impact on one’s spirit.

What’s more, this time, the number of people criticizing Lin Xing wasn’t just millions or tens of millions, but hundreds of millions of the populace.

She was very worried that Lin Xing’s spirit would be agitated by this, especially now that Lin Xing seemed to be in a worse mental state since returning from the future.

Jing Shiyu stepped forward and asked, "Lin Xing, are you okay?"

She tried to comfort him, "The people who are scolding you now will know they were wrong and that you were right, once your information is verified..."

Yet, Lin Xing shook his head indifferently, "It doesn’t matter."

His eyes seemed to flash with certain memories, those of the great battle in New Ke City.

Countless people were crushed to death as easily as insects.

The city was destroyed like a plaything.

And the fate of the entire world was entirely in the hands of a few powerful beings within that one short night.

He thought to himself, "This situation is similar to the present."

"Although the internet is raging with popular sentiment, in reality, the future direction of the whole world will be chosen by just a few people."

"And I am one of them..."

Jing Shiyu, standing beside him, saw the focused expression on Lin Xing’s face and felt his transformation again.

She thought to herself, "The impact of this time reversal on Lin Xing seems to be greater than any before."

At this moment, she still didn’t know whether this impact and change were good or bad.

Just then, Lin Xing stood up, "Let’s go, the next step is coming."

...

As the entire world’s internet boiled over because of Lin Xing,

inside a meeting room in White Eagle Country.

A vast array of surveillance footage was playing on the big screens.

Seeing those videos, featuring various differently dressed women who looked exactly like Bai Yiyi in all sorts of scenes, many high-level White Eagle Country officials went pale.

"These are the suspects we’ve identified through facial recognition from surveillance records over the past month."

"According to Bai Yiyi’s public itinerary, we can confirm they are not Bai Yiyi."

"The suspect has appeared multiple times at two major conferences..."

"This is the trajectory map of the suspect’s appearances in New Ke City..."

Looking at the dense trajectories covering nearly half of New Ke City, the senior White Eagle Country officials felt their scalps tingle.

"Did they tour the entire New Ke City?"

"Could what Lin Xing said be true?"

"Regardless of its truth, we should not take risks. I suggest we immediately start a full-scale search for the whereabouts of the girl in black..."

"What about Xingxiao? Have they responded?"

Just then, a military officer hurried in, his face somber, "There’s been a monster attack in New Ke City..."

...

Screams spread through the streets.

Men and women ran away in panic, their faces stricken with terror.

Not far behind them, a humanoid monster with no skin in sight, its muscles starkly exposed to the air, was howling as it chased after pedestrians.

Watching the monster throw people around at will and emitting terrifying roars, the people on the street ran even faster.

Meanwhile, on a high building nearby, many citizens took out their cell phones and began filming the monster on the streets below.

It was only before the police arrived that the monster stopped its rampage, sinking into the sewer like a lump of mud, disappearing from everyone’s sight.

Soon, related videos and news began to spread massively on the internet.

Some citizens started to link this to the apocalyptic scenario that Lin Xing had mentioned.

Meanwhile, deep in the sewers of New Ke City,

The flesh and blood monster that was just roaring now stood quietly in front of Lin Xing.

As Lin Xing’s mind moved, the sword light within the monster scattered with a bang, and the monster collapsed to the ground with a thump.

Then Lin Xing lightly pointed at the monster,

And the once ferocious monster was instantly transformed into ordinary pieces of pork and beef.

Soon, rats emerged in the sewers and began to gnaw on these chunks of meat.

Watching this scene, Little Lin Xing said dissatisfiedly, "Why use pork and beef, you should just kill a person directly, refine their corpse, then manipulate it to walk to the city center, letting them ’transform’ into a monster in front of countless people, now that would be impactful."

"Humans are ignorant and short-sighted; without letting them die more, they will not remember the lesson!"
