As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 168 Afterwards (5000 words, [-] in [-])

The start time of the Nobel Prize Awarding Ceremony is [-]:[-] pm in Stockholm, which is [-]:[-] pm Yanjing time.

Merlin started showing up around 45:[-].

It only took 10 minutes to appear, and in just 10 minutes, the number of live broadcasts on YouTube quickly soared from less than 5 to 200 million.

It is true that the Nobel Prize is very famous, but most people don't pay special attention to it.

Therefore, the popularity of the annual live broadcast is not even comparable to that of some small and medium-sized anchors.

"We tried all means, but we couldn't cut off the live broadcast of the Nobel Prize ceremony.

And I don't know when it started, the 5-minute delay we set disappeared, and now it is a simultaneous live broadcast.

Now people are constantly pouring into the live broadcast room, the actual number has reached more than 100 million, and it is still showing explosive growth.

Magic, Merlin, Nobel Prize, and Amazing are rapidly rising on the Twitter list. If we don't impose restrictions, the number of people watching the live broadcast may exceed 500 million! "

"Oh shit! You can only prohibit access from external ip addresses by restricting access to ip addresses."

"Sorry, we tried this method, but it didn't work. Even if traffic access restrictions are enabled on the server side to restrict all other IP access, it still can't prevent people outside from seeing the real-time live broadcast."

"Oh, damn, I'm sorry not to say that Merlin should be damned, but this damn mission. Can't we even control the subdomains of our own domain name?
Well I guess not. "

The two fell into silence for a while, and after 15 seconds:

"I just got an order from above to directly shut down YouTube's server and shut down the damn live broadcast room from the source."

The award ceremony of the Nobel Prize is also synchronized on FB, twitch, Netflix and other major platforms.

Yes, FB also has a live function.

If these platforms are counted, the number of people watching the live broadcast in real time has exceeded 1000 million.

In the past, the big Internet companies that called for the wind and rain have nothing to do with such a small IP address today.

Shutting down the server still doesn't prevent users from watching the live broadcast.

However, the only obstacle for the melon eaters around the world is that they cannot log in to the main YouTube site, and then use the search function to access the live broadcast room of the Nobel Prize award ceremony.

But fortunately, you can visit the live broadcast room and watch it through the website link shared by others.

Shutting down servers doesn't stop the explosion in viewership, it just makes the curve less steep.

Not only American, but also the Europa League and Neon are frantically contacting the audience in the concert hall through various channels, hoping to let them find the camera and turn it off.

After finally turning it off, it turned out that it was changed to a clearer playback source, and the effect was better. Even the expressions of the winners in the front row on the stage could be seen.

On a platform in Huaguo, a small up owner who had previously focused on the field of knowledge was tepid. Because he was in Stockholm, he wanted to take the opportunity to broadcast the live broadcast of the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony to gain a wave of the popularity of the Nobel Prize.

It's just that I didn't expect that the number of viewers was very small, and there were no Chinese or Chinese winners, so everyone was not very interested.

Viewing popularity is only in the early thousand, foreign countries are the number of viewers, and only Huaguo's live broadcast platform is viewing popularity.

He thought he would not be able to catch the popularity, but the popularity he got was far beyond his imagination, and the viewing popularity exceeded [-] million.

This popularity made the little up master even feel scared.

The backstage of a certain station asked him to close it, but he found that he couldn't close it. What Internet companies in the whole Blue Star couldn't do, a certain station obviously couldn't do it either.

The barrage in Huaguo is obviously much richer than that in foreign countries. There is almost only one barrage on each platform in foreign countries:
"Ohhhhhhhhh"

Huaguo's barrage is much richer:
"Is the up master broadcasting a movie? What is the name of this movie? It looks quite interesting, but the routine is a bit old."

"This scene is well arranged, and the expressions of the actors behind are really in place."

"It's true, the external network has exploded, and all platforms are live broadcasting"

The audience who rushed in thought it was a joke, the title did not match the broadcast screen, and they didn't know why the popularity suddenly soared and was pushed to the homepage.

Later, more and more people pointed out that this is the real scene of the Nobel Prize award ceremony, and when platforms such as YouTube, twitch, and FB are all broadcasting live simultaneously, the style of painting has changed again.

"Mom asked me why I was kneeling to watch the live broadcast"

"Fuck"

"Come and see God"

"Magic actually exists, but why didn't I receive the admission letter? I'm actually a Muggle!"

"Where is the magic academy in Huaguo, even if you can be a dormitory administrator for me!"

"The past few years have been really eye-opening. Things that I never dared to think about before happened one after another. Today, magicians have appeared. In a few days, someone will come out and tell me that the cultivation of immortals in Huaguo is true, and I will believe it."

"Are the magicians in Huaguo Taoist priests?"

When Zheng Li lightly waved the wooden stick in his hand, and the scene of a group of men in black being swept to the ground by the void appeared, the barrage became even crazier.

The shooting effect of the new playback source is too realistic, and it has more texture than the latest Hollywood blockbuster.

"So handsome!"

"Is this the romance of Faye?"

"No one can stop me from learning magic"

"Grandpa has already got out of bed in London and is about to go to platform nine and three-quarters!"

Those who react slowly are still scrolling through the barrage, and those who react quickly are already saving the video, for fear that the precious picture will be gone if they are slow.

Crowds gathered outside the concert hall in Stockholm, eager to flock to see this never-before-seen live magic show.

Judging from the live broadcast, Merlin did not show hostility or aggression towards humans.

Officials including American and the Europa League wanted to rush in, but none of them could break through the invisible barrier.

"Isn't this a classic scene in American dramas? It's blocked by an invisible wall."

"Stop talking nonsense and shoot!"

The man shot towards the concert hall in front of him, the bullet was blocked and fell to the ground.

"I still have a question, why can't the crows in the sky be blocked? Or the transparent wall constructed by Merlin has a height."

"What you said is very reasonable, immediately ask the fire police in Stockholm to borrow a ladder truck!"

When Zheng Li left, the ladder car they borrowed hadn't arrived yet.

Seeing more and more people gathered here, the guards were almost unable to maintain order.

The people broke through the fence set up by the guards and rushed to the transparent wall.

People outside the concert hall are using this transparent wall to take videos and share them on social media and friends.

Reporters from all over Europa are gathering here.

In the end, Zheng Li released a spell that looked like the Patronus Charm under the watchful eyes of everyone, bringing the whole scene to a climax.

On Twitter, terms such as "Harry Potter", "Expecto Patronum" and "Patronus Charm" have rapidly climbed the hot search list.

"This is even more handsome than the Patronus Charm I imagined!"

"It turns out that the Patronus Charm can summon many Patronus instead of just one? Is it because the mages Rowling met before writing the book are limited in strength, or is Merlin too strong?"

"I strongly recommend that Warner Bros. rush to shoot the second version of Harry Potter, and ask Merlin to be the technical director, or even the general director!
It is best to send the actors to Merlina for special training, but if there is such a chance, I still want to learn by myself. "

Below Rowling's latest tweet, the replies attacking her because of her unapproved remarks were suppressed by the new influx of users.

It's all about asking if she really knows a wizard, or if she's just the Squib the books say she is.

Because he has no ability to cast spells, he can only come to the secular world, but he has no choice but to become a novelist.

After Zheng understood that the trusteeship was lifted, the transparent barrier maintained by casting spells disappeared, and the people outside leaning on the transparent barrier fell to the ground one after another.

The crows circling above the Stockholm Concert Hall began to fly into the distance.

This scene was taken by a photographer. This photo named "Merlin's Departure" won the 2024 Pulinzer Prize, and the original film sold for a high price of 1200 million euros.

All of its NFTs sold 200 million euros, directly achieving a small goal.

After Zheng Li disappeared, the impact on the entire Blue Star began to ferment rapidly, causing an uproar.

One minute after the white man fell to the ground, people in black rushed up and took him away.

"Sorry, there was a little accident today. The awards ceremony needs to be postponed. Please leave in an orderly manner under the leadership of the security personnel." Carl XVI Gustaf was still able to maintain his superficial calm.

Before he finished speaking, the reporters and people outside had rushed in.

"Mr. Murakami, we have many questions we want to ask you, please answer them?"

Haruki Murakami has accompanied the Nobel Prize in Literature for many years, and has been nominated for seven consecutive years without winning the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Finally, because of the changes in the past two years, he was inspired and wrote a novel whose literary quality was recognized by the Nobel Prize judges. Haruki Murakami won this year’s Nobel Prize for Literature.

It turned out that this happened at the awards ceremony.

Haruki Murakami looked at the reporters gathered around him, he knew that he would not be able to leave the venue unless he was interviewed: "Okay, please take turns, it's very noisy here now, if you ask together, I may not be able to hear clearly, and it will affect us s efficiency."

Everyone's first target was the white man Zheng Li borrowed his body from, but he was immediately taken away by a group of heavily armed men in black.

Among the remaining famous figures, basically everyone is surrounded by "reporters".

Some are reporters, some are bloggers with certain fans, and some are fishing in troubled waters and want to take the opportunity to increase their followers.

Everyone knows that this is the hottest topic in the world recently, and everyone's eyes are focused on it.

In this era where traffic can be realized, when opportunities arise, there are not a few people who are keen to seize them.

"Sir, I want to ask you, what do you think of today's events?"

"It was scary at first, and it happened so suddenly, something I have never seen in my life.

But then I found it very meaningful, and I feel very lucky.Being able to witness the magic happen on the spot. "

"What do you think of magic, sir?"

"I think it's a good thing, fantasy literature can be classified as reality in the future.

Of course this is just a joke.

The emergence of magic can provide us with more thinking and give us a new understanding of the scope of human capabilities.

Perhaps each of us has the ability to be a magician, but we have not found a way to tap this ability. "

"Sir, what do you think of Merlin?"

"Judging from today's contact, he is a capable person who can restrain himself."

"Then do you think the disciplinary measures he did are reasonable?"

"Sorry, I don't know the ins and outs of this matter very well, so I can't answer you for the time being."

"Sir, did you feel any discomfort after the white crow passed through your body when Merlin cast the spell?"

"em is like a person who goes to work from nine o'clock in the morning to nine o'clock in the evening. He is busy for a total of twelve hours. The work is endless and he wants to be lazy. There is no time to breathe. After the end, he is still sinking in the tired world Can't break free.

Merlin's magic injected lightness into every capillary of the body, the heavier the body parts, the more obvious the feeling, and the heaviness like being filled with lead was swept away.

If it wasn't for Merlin's magic, I wouldn't have realized how tired my body was. "

The reporters who were present at the American could order that the celebrities present express their condemnation of Merlin.

But no one is stupid, and Merlin would not jump out to accuse the other party as soon as he left.

What if Merlin's ability is the same as that of Voldemort, and everyone speaks ill of him, Merlin can feel it, and he will end up like Mirren?
The celebrities present either took a neutral attitude and perfunctory, or directly became Merlin's supporters.

"name?"

"William, William Gibson."

"Profession?"

"********"

"May I ask when you became Merlin, and where did you get the magic?"

"I'm sorry, I've repeated it many times, including you checking me so many times, I'm really not Merlin.

I didn't know what happened at the time, I lost control of my body, and when I woke up, I was full of tubes in the hospital. "

William felt very bitter. This was his fourth interrogation.

For the first time, his performance at the Nobel Prize award ceremony was shown to him by the interrogator at that time.

For the first time, he saw how cool he was, cooler than the protagonist in a fantasy movie.I thought Bill was the protagonist, but I didn't expect that I was the protagonist.

He is still the protagonist who shows his face in front of everyone in the blue star.

Twelve hours have passed, and it is now conservatively estimated that there are at least 30 billion people in the entire blue star who know his face.

magic.com has become the most visited domain during the recent period.

Among them, the encrypted data of the American side released by Zheng Li brought great troubles to the American side, and at the same time made the people of other countries angry.

If you don't want to be interrogated, William thinks it feels good, and he can watch the video repeatedly to savor it.

After all, it was him in the video, even though he wasn't operating it.

It's like some people like to watch face-swapping videos.

It is enough to have such a highlight in a lifetime, and then make a lot of money by being an Internet celebrity casually.

William knew that as long as he could get out alive, Hollywood giants would frantically wave their money to sign him.

Even if he has no acting experience before.

"Okay, you still claim that you are not Merlin, do you know Merlin? Did you actively cooperate with the other party in this operation?"

"No, I don't know Merlin, or I know of his existence and some basic information about him, but I haven't communicated with him through any channels.

He borrowed my body without my knowledge, and Merlin didn't ask for my permission. "

"Then you should remember the people you met during this time and list them all."

"I want to ask when can I go out?"

"If you cooperate fully, you can go out soon."

That night, William lost his breath in bed.

"Sure enough, all kinds of signals indicate that his body is close to exhaustion, and it is not easy for us to keep him going for so long."

"By the way, why doesn't he feel it himself? I don't think he realizes that his body is about to fail?"

"I don't know, it should be that Merlin's hands and feet on his body played a role, magic is an area we don't understand at all.

We have to wait until a detailed autopsy is done to see if there are any new findings.

According to the current examination report, the same protein as yours was found in William's body. "

"Okay, I need you to make a judgment, whether it will affect the autopsy after twelve hours, or if the equipment is not sophisticated enough, will it affect the result.

If it cannot be delayed, we need to cooperate with Europa. "

American Fang originally wanted to bring William back to American as soon as possible.

It is very unlikely that William is Merlin himself, but at least this is the first time Merlin parasitized the body on Blue Star, and the research is of great significance.

American does not want to share with the Europa League.

However, due to research timeliness considerations, they still chose to conduct an inspection in Stockholm first.

The obtained research reports and specific samples shall be shared with the Europa Union.

Now there are more researches that can be done on the corpse, it would be best if the Europa League could not be involved.

William was from American, and American wanted to take him back, but Europa did not dare to stop him openly.

"I don't know, there are really too many unknown variables. Maybe we can get more information by dissecting it here. When we go back or analyze it on the plane, we will miss a lot of information.

Witten, we shouldn't listen to those politicians, joint research with the Europa League is the best.

In case any discoveries are missed, the next opportunity will not know when it will be. "

Witten is the person with the highest status secretly in Stockholm on the American side. He did not participate in the plan to force Merlin to show up. On the contrary, he voted against it during internal discussions.

As a mathematician and physicist, Witten needs to listen to the experts present at such times.

Therefore, Witten was not affected, he was only restrained for a while at the scene.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Teng said, "Contact the Europa League and prepare to organize a joint dissection experiment!"

He intends to cut first and play later.

　I have been out on weekends for the past two days, and this kind of deduction has to take into account the scale and rationality, so it is very brain-intensive to write, please forgive me, I didn't intend to make it slower!
