Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

# Chapter 278: Sora: ’Ahhhh, a ghost!!’ ”The Infected” had been screening in Columbia for a full month, and it had been screening in other countries for the better part of half a month. It could be said that it had received high praise across most of Terra, a tide of positive reviews. Of course, there was also a heap of negative ones.

Some people who previously didn’t understand the Infected had their perspectives changed after watching the documentary. But the film also seemed to have touched the interests of many people in various countries. In Columbia alone, countless individuals were trying to find the two directors through various channels. Furthermore, because Lucas Reeve and Nian had once received an award at the Columbia Music Festival, and there was even surveillance footage of them in the grand theater, many people with ill intentions were able to lock onto Nian’s appearance.

However.

Just as they were locking onto Nian and Lucas Reeve, Raythean Industries had already locked onto them first.

It had to be said.

After a month of turmoil, every day in the villa, Nian and Lucas Reeve would receive a list from Jessica detailing who was investigating them. This list was absurdly detailed, including the investigator’s name, address, affiliation, and even their distant relatives had been dug up.

It was a good thing it was Lucas Reeve and Nian.

If any other director had filmed this documentary, even if it couldn’t be screened in theaters, if it had been posted online and gained significant viewership and influence, that director would likely have been secretly ’taken care of’ by those whose interests were threatened.

Of course.

These people could also choose to send assassins to take out Lucas Reeve and Nian. As long as they had the ability, the two had no objections.

”Hmph hmph, I’m a famous director now, you know. What if I go out and crazy fans mob me for an autograph?”

Nian sat cross-legged on the carpet, sipping fruit juice and chatting away. She had just finished scrolling through the online evaluations of her. However, it seemed the attention on her wasn’t that high. Those who liked the movie were all sympathizing with the Infected. Only the dissenters would directly curse the director. And, after the cursing, no fans stepped up to defend Nian.

”I feel like... that’s unnecessary.”

Laurentina scrolled through her phone, chuckling as she retorted.

”Actually, you don’t have many fans online at all. It seems the topic of discussion online has long since shifted from your movie to the entire situation of the Infected. However, there are quite a few people cursing you. Anyway, the comment section has hundreds of thousands of replies, and at least a hundred thousand of them are cursing you.”

”Oh, found one. This one’s a classic.”

”An ID called ’Columbian Top-Laner’.”

”He’s cursing, ’Nian! When are you gonna f***ing _die_!!’”

”And another one called ’I’m Arrogant, What’re You Gonna Do’ says.”

”’Nian! I’m going to kill your _mom_!’”

”’Nian! I’ll f*** your X!!!’”

Pfft!!

Instead of making Nian angry, such comments made her and Dusk burst out laughing.

”Err... actually, if he has the ability, I’d really like him to try. If he could really kill Sui directly and stop the old bastard from reviving, I would probably kowtow and express my sincere gratitude. After all, he would have accomplished an achievement that even Yan couldn’t accomplish. At best, Yan could only beat Sui into scattering, but this guy could supposedly kill Sui directly.”

Now that Nian put it that way, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

What a dark joke.

Suddenly.

Nian discovered a tricky problem.

”Hold on? I remember when I wrote the directors’ names, I specifically put Lucas Reeve as the first director. Why is this group of netizens all cursing me, and no one is cursing Lucas Reeve? This isn’t fair. The blessings should be shared equally!”

Laurentina looked at Jessica, who was sitting next to Lucas Reeve.

And Jessica smiled, a little embarrassed.

”Actually... I... I really didn’t want to see anyone cursing Mr. Lucas Reeve online. There was one person who cursed Mr. Lucas Reeve before, and I couldn’t help but have someone warn them... So, I had Uncle Jones remind all the platforms in Columbia to set the two words ’Lucas Reeve’ as a forbidden term. Any post containing the words ’Lucas Reeve’ will automatically be sent for review, and if it doesn’t pass, it’s automatically deleted. It can’t even be posted.”

Nian: ”.....”
