Extraordinary in Reality Through Magic Games

226: Chapter 224 The mountain gate is simply called the mountain gate, a grand gathering.Zhang Mu’s pace toward the Municipal Building was not fast; he even intentionally slowed down.

Taking advantage of the time on the road, he used his phone to browse the latest trending news.

As expected, with ”Immortal Xu” appearing multiple times and Ying Country’s bold move to almost publicly reveal the supernatural, the Special Investigation Bureau could no longer hide the existence of Cultivators.

Although platform regulation was tighter than ever and the internal network firewall showed no signs of loosening, constant defense inevitably leads to a breach—there’s no such thing as ”guarding against a thief” for a thousand days.

Like a certain heavily alcoholic country that once enforced prohibition, strictly banning the sale of alcohol.

Did people stop drinking in the end?

No, the result was the birth of a black market.

Where there is demand, there is supply; it is an unchanging truth.

The Special Investigation Bureau guarded strictly for half a year, but ultimately lost to the videos on the phones of citizens returning from abroad.

Aerial photos of the giant crater released by Ying Country, Hogwarts documentaries, and live news broadcasts of Dumbledore’s multiple appearances.

Chinese citizens went from initial scoffing to hesitation, eventually developing into roughly believing.

Until two months ago, when the magic performance organized by Ying Country was successfully held. Wherever there was an internet signal on Blue Star, basically no one doubted the reality of the supernatural anymore.

If this had happened thirty years ago, global leaders would probably have picked up the phone and engaged in heated discussions.

If it were around 1892, a hundred years ago, people scattered in various places would have used radio to discuss with each other.

Further back, uh, it probably wouldn’t have caused much of a splash.

After all, before humans encountered electromagnetic waves, they could only rely on methods like ”carrier pigeons” to transmit and spread information, with pitifully low efficiency.

But now it’s a new era; humans have the internet.

Consequently, the entire Blue Star was boiling.

Setting aside well-known social media software, almost all other slightly famous information exchange websites with users globally were nearly crashed by the swarming netizens.

It is said that when some company CEOs first learned their website servers were paralyzed, they thought they were under a hacker’s network attack.

Things were slightly better on the China side.

Because videos and comments posted by individuals were always quickly deleted, causing poor communication or even complete blockage.

Later, everyone simply focused on content creators who specialized in organizing popular overseas events, such as ”Up-zhus,” ”Bloggers,” and so on.

Every day, besides eating and sleeping, they would take out their phones and constantly refresh other people’s homepages.

Once there was an update, everyone would immediately gather to ”eat melons” before the video was ”harmonized.”

In this way, the matter of the supernatural completely spread in China as well.

Zhang Mu found it quite interesting and scrolled through comments on overseas events reposted domestically.

People’s focus was very diverse.

Some wondered if supernatural beings could have children with ordinary people, fly into outer space, dive into the deepest part of the ocean, etc.

Most ridiculously, someone posted a question asking if supernatural beings needed to expel a certain special gas primarily composed of nitrogen from their bodies.

Of course, what people cared about most and discussed most heatedly were two points that Zhang Mu had expected.

One, is the lifespan of the supernatural hundreds of years, thousands of years, or eternal life?

Two, does our country have supernatural beings?

For the former, due to limited information channels, the public could only make guesses based on literary works and stories passed down through word of mouth.

Both of these cannot escape elements of fantasy and artistic processing, lacking factual basis, so in the end, no one could convince anyone else.

The latter was more interesting.

Citizens of countries with long histories and systematic mythologies all began to show off and educate others about their own myths.

The attitude of these people was: since the supernatural is real, then our definition of the word ”myth” is open to debate.
