As expected, Meng Zhong had nothing to do with the previous farce, but he did not express his purpose of coming. He only asked Fan Jialuo to go to a place with him. When he got there, he would naturally understand everything.
Fan Jialuo just sat quietly, neither nodding in agreement or shaking his head in rejection. His silence made everyone feel uneasy. Zhang Yang was so angry that he pressed his hand on the handle of the gun several times, but he did not dare to pull it out. It seemed that he also knew what kind of attitude was appropriate when asking for help.
While the two parties were in a stalemate, the short and fat station manager hurried into the recording room and said, “Xiao Song, Xiao Song, I just heard that all the contestants on your show have terminated their contracts? What’s going on?”
“The World of Strange People” had become the most popular program nowadays because Fan Jialuo’s divine prophecies were fulfilled one after another. At its peak, the ratings even exceeded 3. In each episode, many topics would enter the hot search list, attracting attention. Its popularity continued to rise and it had already become a phenomenal variety show. Those who withdrew their capital in the first place were now filled with regret. They chased the station manager every day to ask if they could still invest in the show. Advertisers were calling him one after another. As long as he nodded, let alone tens of millions of sponsorship fees, there were hundreds of millions!
He had regarded this program as a hen laying golden eggs for the station, and its importance was definitely ranked first. Therefore, when Zhang Yang expressed his desire to be the chief director, he agreed without thinking. In his opinion, Zhang Yang’s ability might not be as strong as Song Wennuan’s, but his connections and resources were definitely better than Song Wennuan’s. If he replaced Song Wennuan, it might have a certain impact on the show, but it would definitely be a positive impact.
Later, Elder Wan personally called to express concern about the recording process of this program. The director had more confidence in Zhang Yang, so today’s scene of changing the chief director happened. But he never expected that as soon as this decision came out, the contestants would collectively terminate their contracts. Were their feelings for Song Wennuan that deep? If she left, would they rather lose money than film anymore?
The station manager was anxious and angry. He wanted to grab Song Wennuan and scold her, but she easily blocked him with one sentence. “Station Manager, I am no longer the chief director of ‘The World of Strange People,’ and these matters are not my responsibility.”
The station manager was choked, and after a while he spoke angrily, “How is it not your responsibility? If you hadn’t instigated it, could they have left? Don’t ruin this show just because of this dispute. Remember you are also a member of the station. Don’t do anything that harms the collective!”
Song Wennuan’s face became darker and darker, and her fists were clenched tightly and trembling. Yes, that was right, she was a member of this collective, and she never did anything that harmed the collective, but how did the collective treat her? Held her up when they needed her, and kicked her away when they didn’t! How could such a collective create a sense of belonging in people? Where was the collective warmth? Where was the collective cohesion?
Song Wennuan was about to fight back, but Ding Puhang explained first, “Station Manager, you misunderstood. We are leaving just because we can’t stand the new chief director. It has nothing to do with Director Song.”
“Yes! He is really too arrogant, and he doesn’t respect others at all. He wanted us to kill each other as soon as he came. He is so violent! I can smell the odor from his body, urine mixed with the smell of shit, rust mixed with mold and rot, it’s almost like a cesspit that has been fermenting for two hundred years! No, I will never stay with him, my nose can’t stand it,” Ah Huo said carelessly.
On the other hand, Zhang Yang’s teeth were almost broken. If he could, he would have drawn out his gun and shot all these people!
“Station Manager, we don’t feel that Mr. Zhang respects us, and we have doubts about his character, so we decided not to shoot.” Yuan Zhongzhou packed his things while talking. Zhu Xiya and others were also ready to leave at any time.
The station manager tried to persuade him, but after learning what Zhang Yang had done, he had nothing to say. He never expected that Zhang Yang’s attitude towards the players would be like teasing dogs, and he would even pay them to kill each other. Was this the work of a human being? Masters all had tempers and often had strong self-esteem. Even if you were the King of Heaven, as long as you showed disrespect, they would not care about your words, let alone the fact that you are not the King of Heaven!

All kinds of extremely bad situations were imagined by the station manager. The loss of money, loss of reputation, and waste of manpower and material resources were all huge! Because of this, he might not even be able to keep his position. If he had known that Zhang Yang was a shit stirrer, he would have kicked him away! Why did he, a second-generation ancestor, come to their station to have fun! Get the fuck out of here!
The director lowered his face and apologized to Song Wennuan and the other contestants, but in his heart he scolded Zhang Yang, the culprit. But even so, he still had to hold back his anger because Elder Wan was still here and he couldn’t afford to offend him.
Song Wennuan left anyway, and Yuan Zhongzhou, Zhu Xiya, and others also left one after another, showing no nostalgia for this show. Popularity, fame, wealth, what did they mean to them? They had met those of the same kind and gained spiritual enlightenment. This was the best reward, and they were really satisfied.
The station director chased after them along the corridor for a while, but couldn’t catch up, so he had to return to the recording room with a pale face.
The muscles on the side of Zhang Yang’s cheek were very tight and would swell from time to time. It was obvious that his anger had been suppressed to the limit. What was even more frightening was the dark glow in his eyes, which was as sinister as if it had been tempered with poison. The director was originally full of complaints, but when he saw his expression, he didn’t dare to speak out.
Zhang Yang seemed to be about to explode!
Elder Wan waved his hand and said, “Forget it, just let it go. I will personally invest five million in prize money. If you recruit a few more contestants to compete, they will definitely be no worse than those before.”
The director almost blurted out “You know nothing,” but in the end he forced a smile and agreed.
But Zhang Yang said in disgust, “What kind of bullshit program is this? The contestants are even more arrogant than me! Damn it, I don’t want to play anymore. Whoever you want to be the chief director can be chief director!” After completely ruining the show, he actually threw his hands up and left. Was this the actions of a human being?
The staff who were still in the recording room were all angry, but they did not dare to protest or accuse due to his power. They had worked hard for so long and achieved such brilliant achievements, only to lose them all in the blink of an eye. And the people who took them all away dismissed what they considered treasures as trash and then threw them away. If thoughts could kill, they really wanted to kill Zhang Yang. In order to keep out of sight, they all left. In such a huge recording room, only a few were left.
The station manager was so angry at Zhang Yang’s attitude that he felt like someone had poured shit into his mouth. He was disgusted and angry. From now on, if I cooperate with the Zhang family again, I will be a mallet! He cursed this way in his heart, but he could only smile angrily.
Zhang Yang had lost all face and pride, but he couldn’t leave now because Fan Jialuo hadn’t agreed to go with them yet! He couldn’t say anything to ask for help, so he just urged harshly, “Are you leaving or not? Do you want me to carry a big sedan chair to invite you?”
Fan Jialuo turned a deaf ear to his words. He only looked at Meng Zhong and shook his head. “I know your original intention of filming this show, but I can only tell you that I can’t help you. Your organization is no longer suitable to cooperate with me.”
“You knew my purpose in planning this program? In this case, you originally planned to cooperate with me, right?” Meng Zhong earnestly sought guidance.
“When a flood passes through, the water conservancy department will put buoys in the water to measure the peak of the flood, so that they can control the trend and intensity of the flood at any time to avoid widespread disasters. We are buoys to you. After we build our reputation through this program, we will naturally have a steady stream of people coming to us and asking us to help solve various strange incidents. By monitoring these incidents, you can indirectly predict how chaotic the world today is. For you, we are a mirror that reflects the dark world,” Fan Jialuo said slowly, as if he knew the meaning of this program from the beginning.
“Yes, I originally wanted to set up a company and invite you to be consultants to solve strange incidents. When crimes occur, the first reaction of the people is to call the police. When events that cannot be explained by science occur, they do not think of law enforcement, they will only run to monks or Taoist priests. Our Special Security Department knows that the world is getting worse, but we have very little information, so we have to find another way. Buddhist and Taoist sects are now hidden from the world, and they are unwilling to cooperate with us. We have to put up our own signboards and let the people come to us. Teacher Fan, you should be able to feel that the recent frequent strange incidents are just the tip of the iceberg. If the world continues to be chaotic, our entire society may be affected.” Meng Zhong sighed helplessly.
Fan Jialuo glanced at him and spoke like a knife, “I can tell you that the world is indeed getting worse, and more disasters will break out one by one. If they go unchecked, world destruction is not far away.”
“World destruction? Teacher Fan, are you kidding?” Meng Zhong’s heart felt as if it had been scratched by a steel knife, and the huge sense of panic made him break out in a cold sweat.
“This joke is so damn funny, hahaha! World destruction? You can really talk, Fan Jialuo!” Zhang Yang laughed indifferently, but the station manager ran away in a cold sweat as if he had greased his feet. He was a smart guy, so he knew there were things he shouldn’t pry into.
Fan Jialuo’s eyelids drooped, completely ignoring Zhang Yang’s existence. The best way to deal with this kind of person who highlighted his presence all the time was not to look at him, not to listen to him, and to ignore him. When he realized that he was just a clown and his existence had no value besides disgracing himself, he would naturally stop.
As expected, Zhang Yang’s laughter gradually stopped, and every muscle on his face was twisting and twitching. Only now did he realize that Song Rui was not the most irritating, Fan Jialuo was! How dare he ignore himself! These two bastards! Sooner or later…
Zhang Yang’s eyes could almost spit fire, but he gritted his teeth to suppress it.
Song Rui chuckled and said, “Minister Meng, can we go? You should know very well that the current Special Security Department is not a good partner to work with.”
“Then we’ll take our leave first.” Fan Jialuo nodded politely.
Meng Zhong stood up quickly to stop him. “Teacher Fan, please wait! Actually, it’s not us who want to see you, but Xiao Yanling who wants to see you.”
Fan Jialuo paused slightly, and Song Rui put his arm around his shoulders and forced him to continue moving forward. With the young man’s current physical condition, there was no way to deal with Xiao Yanling. After absorbing so many elites from the Special Security Department, Xiao Yanling might have completely turned into a monster! This incident was too unfortunately timed, and he didn’t want the young man to risk his life.
Fan Jialuo followed Dr. Song’s footsteps and moved forward slowly, but his brows were furrowed.
“Don’t think about it!” Song Rui whispered in his ear, his expression more solemn than his.
Fan Jialuo pressed his abdomen, which was still cramping, and continued walking towards the exit.
“Teacher Fan, eighty-nine people in our Special Security Department have died. Now we can only lock Xiao Yanling in a one-meter-thick metal cage to isolate her magnetic field. She is a bomb, but no one can dismantle her except for you! If you are not willing to help, we don’t know who else to ask for help. I believe what you said about the destruction of the world, because what happened to Xiao Yanling is a sign of the destruction of the world! Teacher Fan, you want to save the world, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t come to our show, declare war on darkness in a high-profile manner, and you wouldn’t do so many things silently! Your goal is to purge people like Xiao Yanling, right? Then why did you reject us! You warned us not to let it go unchecked, but aren’t you watching indifferently now?”
Meng Zhong’s words undoubtedly struck Fan Jialuo’s weak point. Being unable to abandon the world was a habit he could never change, so he stopped and slowly turned back.
Song Rui cursed secretly in his heart, but could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He actually knew early on that as long as he said the words “Xiao Yanling,” the young man would definitely jump into Meng Zhong’s trap, because Meng Zhong was right. It was the young man’s responsibility to eliminate people like Xiao Yanling. No one asked him to do this, it was his own choice.
He carried the weight of the whole world on his shoulders, collided with fate head-on, and did not flinch even if his body was shattered to pieces—this was the kind of person he was.
“Where is she now?” Fan Jialuo asked calmly.
Meng Zhong said excitedly, “She is detained by us at the Green River Research Institute. I will take you there now!”
“Let’s go.” Fan Jialuo tilted his head and signaled.
The corners of Zhang Yang’s taut mouth cracked open a slit, and a sinister light flashed in his eyes. Elder Wan and the young woman actually followed, wondering what the fun was about.
An hour later, several people arrived at the Green River Research Institute. Zhang Yang disappeared as soon as he entered the door, while Meng Zhong took everyone into a monitoring room, pointed at the rows of monitors, and said, “Teacher Fan, look, she has become a monster.”
As soon as Fan Jialuo raised his head, his gaze froze. The little girl on the screen had pale skin, black lips, and blood-red eyes. If there were two sharp horns on both sides of her head, she would look like a demon! Her hands and feet were fixed on a huge steel seat, and the bottom of the seat was welded directly to the ground, preventing the possibility of being moved. There was also a steel ball stuffed in her mouth, even depriving her of the ability to speak.
Being locked and controlled to this extent, it showed how much damage Xiao Yanling had caused to the Special Security Department.
Meng Zhong pointed at the demon on the screen and said solemnly, “Her strength has increased again. Neither hot nor cold weapons can hurt her. After being shot through the abdomen by a cannonball, it only took her five minutes to completely heal herself. It’s amazing, she is practically immortal. The way she kills is even more terrifying. With just one sentence, ‘I want you all to die,’ everyone in her gaze will die. Every word she speaks can become reality. She can kill everyone just by opening her mouth! I believe what you said about the destruction of the world. With more people like her, how can the world not be destroyed?”
Oh jeez. Anyways, ty for the chapter! :(〃∇〃人):
Thank you for the chapter !!
They didn’t listen to Fan Jialuo in the first place that’s why they were in that situation. Because they were greedy to use her…Thus Zhang person, us he connected with that siren? The singer, I mean. Fan Jialuo can’t heal and Nd take a rest while the enemies are still energetic.😡
Thus…This
Hope we can edit comments 🤣
these people are just shameless. let’s hope fjl can get out of this unscathed….
Thanks for the chapter!!!
