"How is this like a TV drama? Are you sure this is a crime scene, not just hype?!"
"Oh my God, I can't believe it. Isn't this the kind of plot that's only supposed to be in movies!"
"So, the scene in 'Journey Together' where Tang Shu kills the Bamboo Leaf Green Snake, it was actually real???"
...
As everyone expressed their shock and doubts, many official media outlets released information about the pickpocket attack incident.
In front of the television, an announcer dressed in formal attire was narrating the entire story.
"At 8 p.m. on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, a Harmony train headed to the Imperial Capital was attacked by two criminals. One passenger was seriously injured, and a boy about ten years old was taken hostage..."
Netizens who were initially skeptical suddenly had a change of heart.
"Holy crap, it's on the news; it's actually real!!!"
"This isn't TV drama; it's real life???"
