Spell Return: The Wheel of Time

Chapter 84: The official announcement of the magician’s debut

"We have tried our best to block it, but the impact of the situation that day was too widespread. The executors were all ordinary people. They had no relevant memories of the day of the incident, just like puppets being manipulated on strings."

"At present, most people still don't fully believe it. After the official dealt with it as quickly as possible, they also used a lot of smoke bombs to distract the public. But there are two very fatal points at the moment."

Tokyo Magic High School, Iji Chi was reporting the compiled information to the people gathered in the room: "The first point is the attitude of foreign countries. The blockade on the Internet and other aspects is not an emergency. It can be determined that it is intentional. But it is still unclear whether the other party has close cooperation with the mastermind behind it.”

"The second point, which is also the main thing that needs to be discussed today, is the thing in the video that is suspected of allowing the person who eats it to see a curse."

Ichichi took out a white pill from a small plastic bag and placed it on the table in the middle.

"Has this been studied?"

Someone raised a question, and Ichichi nodded and responded: "Yes, after inspection and testing by relevant people from the high school, this thing can indeed make the person who eats it see the curse."

"The principle has not yet been fully analyzed. It is made from the fusion of cursed flesh and human flesh and unknown technology. It probably comes from the same source as this series of events."

After Ichichi told this information, Noctua Masami continued with a solemn expression: "Although most people are still at a stage where they don't fully believe it, what is very bad is that they have already begun to try to find out the truth behind it."

"And those who have found this drug have further catalyzed this process, and the situation is slipping step by step towards the abyss. As more people can see the curse, their presence will increase the curse, and this in turn will As a result, they who were already doubtful will become even more convinced of the existence of the curse."

Shen Yuanyi also felt a headache as he listened. Recently, all kinds of public opinions have been emerging one after another. Some pictures and videos that are difficult to distinguish between true and false have begun to go viral on the Internet.

Official appeals and refutation of rumors have had little effect. Especially for some people who accidentally obtained the pill, what can be more worthy of belief than the truth they saw with their own eyes.

Listening to the gradually mixed arguments, Shen Yuanyi felt a little bored. At present, everyone has two general positions. One is to control public opinion with all their strength, and then clean up the drugs released by those behind the scenes. This can at least make most people The existence of the curse remains unconfirmed.

But the opponents, who are people from another standpoint, believe that this is just slow death, and that the accumulation of contradictions will eventually form an extremely dangerous situation.

Because it seems that this drug is extremely widely distributed. Although it is impossible for everyone to have a copy, there are still people who try to eat it and actually see the curse. Then these people will become new sources of transmission.

In fact, such a situation has already occurred. A curse spirit that Shenyuan Yi went to deal with yesterday was like this. It was not enough to catalyze it, but there happened to be a person in the company who saw the curse with his own eyes through this method.

Then he told others with the idea that everyone should know the truth, and distributed the remaining pills. Then all the people in the group could see the curse, and then things went bad. The gathered emotions finally made there A vague curse was born.

Now the police are still worried about this group of people and don't know how to deal with it. This situation is definitely not an exception. On the contrary, it is spreading in a very fast trend. This is also the source of the ideas of those who hold the second position. .

They believed that the subsequent situation could no longer conceal the existence of the curse, and that a few people could still solve it. They provided them with psychological counseling, but one person's words could not shake the overall stability.

But now it can be said that there is only a thin line between collapse and collapse. There is only one person around you shouting incredible things. You will think that he is talking crazy, but once the number of people increases, you will be shaken.

When almost everyone is convinced, who can still maintain a firm attitude? If there is something that can make you sure of its authenticity, how many people can resist trying it.

This is their view. These people believe that there is no way to hide the situation anymore, and in this constantly fermenting emotion, a terrible curse will eventually be brewed, and it will also lead to people's distrust. It would be even more difficult to guide them.

Therefore, they believe that they need to confess part of the processed "truth" to the public step by step, and cannot allow this kind of fear and suspicion to spread.

"Yuanyi, what do you think?"

Gojo Satoru, who was sitting next to him, asked. Shen Yuan thought for a moment after hearing the words, and then became a little troubled: "Probably close to the latter, mainly because it is really difficult to hide. In the past, if someone died due to a curse, others would I just think it was caused by an accident.”

"But now when there is any disturbance, they will also think of the curse. In addition, there are people who have seen the curse spreading it around. It is impossible to control it. After all, we are in the information age now."

Shenyuan paused for a moment, and then asked the doubts in his heart: "Teacher Gojo, is a situation like this very conducive to curses? Has this kind of thing happened before?"

But what he got was a negative answer: "No, although the increase in ordinary people who know the curse seems to make the curse stronger, it is harmful to both humans and the curse."

"The reason is also very simple. If you remove some special factors, such a situation will only lead to one thing, and that is the death of a large number of ordinary people. Excessive deaths will usher in a rapid decline in the population."

"And the curses generated by human negative emotions will become less frequent. In the final analysis, curses are only things that depend on humans. The fewer ordinary people there are, the less curses they will have. Naturally, if the human race becomes extinct in the extreme, then the curse will naturally be affected." will also become extinct”

Shenyuan nodded: "So only our place has been announced about the existence of the curse, and 'coincidentally' the possibility of spreading it has been blocked. But judging from the current situation, even if everyone in the country has learned about the existence of the curse, , I don’t think this can destroy this country, so what do the people behind it want to do?”

"Xia You, your plan seems to be going well."

A group of cursed spirits such as Zhenren and Lehuhu gathered together for a rare occasion. While they were engaging in human entertainment activities, they were chatting about recent events.

Luohu said angrily: "It's just this country, and can these scattered curses really be able to deal with those two people?"

Xia Youjie smiled and corrected his words: "At least three. According to the latest news, another special-level Yigu Youtai is also back."

"Furthermore, your view is somewhat wrong. Spreading the existence of the curse to the whole world will most likely only lead to destruction, and there is also a possibility that more powerful and more conjurers will be born." "The curse is If you can't get rid of humans, you can't do it by leaking coral or killing all humans, and then the cursed era you hope for will be even more impossible to come true."

The real person next to him was thinking about how to play his cards, but Luohu no longer wanted to play: "Then why did you announce the curse? Didn't it mean that our goal is to awaken that existence?"

Xia Youjie gently pushed the cards out and won: "Who said these are two different things, Luohu, the four of you are created by human beings' emotions towards nature, so you know how people feel about the 'curse' What are the negative emotions it generates?"

Luohu also understood what he meant: "Are you saying that our goal is almost there?"

Xia Youjie comforted the excited Luo Hu, and the flying sparks almost burned the cards on the table. "We are almost approaching the final step. Now we just wait for the situation to develop. Let's start by turning this country into a country." 'Realm of the Damned' begins."

Naturally, the solution to the curse cannot be stopped until the final decision is made. Everyone is very busy these days. Except when discussing together like before, it is basically impossible to see everyone present.

At present, the newly born and active curses are relatively easy to solve, but what troubles everyone is that more and more people know about the curse, and the spellcasters who came to solve the incident are all under suspicion.

What is even more troublesome are the religious-like groups that have arisen under such a situation. In other words, they are originally transformed from other religious groups. Some people who have witnessed or experienced cursed events have fallen into the arms of these groups.

Some of them also hold a large amount of 'curses'. After proving the existence of the curse to these believers, they can easily harvest their faith. After that, it will be much simpler to obtain wealth or other aspects.

The official control over the media and the Internet only calms the tide on the surface, but in fact there are already rough waves under the water. There are even people who loudly proclaim in public places that the curse is real. Most of these people have their worldview stimulated after confirming the facts. people.

The more vigorously the authorities suppressed the situation, the more the situation tightened like a spring and then exploded. The drug that allowed people to see the curse really came out of nowhere. People could find them anywhere near their residences, and There will also be spontaneous transmission between them.

Faced with the worsening situation, the magic circle and the officials finally discussed and decided on a plan, which was to release part of the truth after the incident.

Rather than letting them continue to spread in unknown fear, it is better to inform everyone of the prepared truth, so that at least there is room for control.

The plan was implemented very quickly as soon as it came out, because the situation could not tolerate any further delay. In the broadcast notice to the whole country, the "curse" officially entered the public's view.

"Let me just say it's real! We've been deceived all along!"

"But according to the official statement, this curse is born from people's negative emotions, so wouldn't it be more dangerous after we know its existence?"

"Damn it, that person had bad intentions that day. He wanted to kill our entire country."

When everyone saw the official notice, an unprecedented uproar arose, and part of the truth about the curse, such as the information that was born based on negative emotions, became known to the public.

After learning the "truth", the people who were originally suspicious of the official became much closer, because this could well explain why the official kept concealing it, and their targets turned towards the culprit who revealed everything that day.

Of course, there are still people who still doubt and hate the official, but this small group can be easily solved. The public's attention is currently focused on matters related to the curse. While they are afraid that they will be affected, most of them are Discussing the revelation of the person responsible for solving the curse - the conjurer.

"Boss, are those people we met before, are they magicians? In other words, have we ever encountered such an incident?"

The captain in casual clothes glanced sideways at him and slowly blew out the smoke ring in his mouth: "You have forgotten what I said. Look less, think less, and don't pay attention to this kind of thing. I don't want to go to the morgue one day to check on him. you."

The reprimanded young man obediently agreed, and then followed the captain. He couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: "Does the legendary ghost also exist?"

The concept of ghosts and monsters became associated with the latter after the curse became known to the public. Although officials have repeatedly explained that the former is just fiction and the two are not the same concept, they still cannot stop these thoughts.

This is also something that the magic world has been busy with recently. After the official announcement of the existence of the curse, there was bound to be a wave of curses in the early stage, but this was also part of the pre-conception.

What the conjurer has to do is to contain these curses and instill a concept into the people: the curse is not so terrible, and someone can solve it.

This can also alleviate many of the growing negative emotions. If it can be used to make people regard the curse as the same as natural disasters such as earthquakes that are common in this country, that would be even better.

Therefore, someone has proposed a plan to alleviate people's fear of curses, which is to guide this matter in the direction of entertainment. It is known that there are currently three super-level curse masters in the country in the curse world. The curse spirits are all crushed.

So as long as the three people are the main ones and the process of exorcising the cursed spirits is exposed to the public's view, then the public who don't know much about the curse will be much less afraid of the curse, and this can also greatly distract their fear. Note, this is not killing two birds with one stone.

As soon as this suggestion was put forward, serious discussion began, but Shenyuan Yi was a little confused. Was he going to "debut"?Oh no, there are also Gojo-sensei and Otoko.
Why is it that the cool and mysterious magician who was promised is about to make a grand debut, but after asking Teacher Gojo, his idea is completely different from Shengenichi.

"This can indeed reduce the public's panic about curses. You know something about the current situation. The more fear and hatred towards curses, the more they will strengthen their existence. And if they can be made to realize that curses can be easily exorcised, Otherwise, the related emotions will inevitably weaken."

"As for the method to be adopted, it hasn't been decided yet. Besides, Yuan Yi, don't you want to be a 'hero' that attracts everyone's attention? You are also very qualified to be a star."

"I don't think so, and I think it's the teacher who thinks so!"
