章 256: Chapter 256: God, I Followed Your Script Perfectly
"He's unbelievably popular." Jin He Li observed the scene. A massive crowd had already gathered, citizens waving tools in their hands. This level of popularity was far beyond what any ordinary person could achieve.
"I'm thinking about something. What do you think about a god-making movement?" the one-eyed man said.
"God-making?"
"Exactly. The appearance of the Sea God Temple made me think. Perhaps there isn't just one god. We need to plan for all possibilities. Our Dragon Country has myths, but no gods, so…"
"So we create one."
"Precisely."
The one-eyed man's idea was simple: Dragon Country would create its own god. After interacting with Lin Fan for a while, he knew Lin Fan was a good person, kind-hearted. Just because he was a psychiatric patient didn't mean he was prone to episodes.
He had talked with Hao Ren.
Hao Ren told him not to overthink it. Lin Fan wouldn't have episodes. His situation was peculiar. Under normal circumstances, he was no different from ordinary people. The only issue was his perception, which made him seem out of sync.
Actually, it wasn't an illness.
If you followed his line of thinking, it was quite normal, no problem. You could consider it as him having a complete system of self-perception, just different from most people's.
What delighted the one-eyed man most was Hao Ren telling him that Lin Fan's condition was gradually improving.
This was a miraculous thing.
For Hao Ren, agreeing to let Lin Fan join the special department was in hopes that he could interact with more people outside and improve his condition. Later, based on his observations, he found that the situation had truly improved.
As for why he kept threatening the one-eyed man, saying he wanted Lin Fan back, it was to let him know that Lin Fan was popular. If they didn't cherish him, Qingshan would take him back and continue his treatment.
Jin He Li said, "Chief, what do you think we should do?"
"Haha, that Sea God wants to build a statue in our Dragon Country? I'll satisfy him. We'll build a statue of Lin Fan in Yanhai City," the one-eyed man said.
Jin He Li worried, "Will the capital agree to this?"
The one-eyed man said, "Whether they agree or not, this is my decision. They have no say in the matter. I'm really looking forward to seeing Haiyun Country's expression when they find out."
There was no other way now.
Gods had a huge impact on ordinary people. If they didn't find a way to deal with it, the influence would be significant, and this was what the one-eyed man wanted to avoid the most.
"Oh, right, the internet, newspapers, media, and everything else, give me 24-hour coverage of the Sea God incident. I want everyone to know what the Haiyun Country Sea God looked like getting beaten up." The one-eyed man handed her the draft he had written. Publish it according to the content, and the photos chosen were the ones Sun Xiao posted on the forum.
"Give Sun Xiao a buyout fee. I'm buying his photos."
Look at the text Sun Xiao added below the photos:
Exclusive copyright, infringement will be investigated.
Normally, he wouldn't bother, but our one-eyed man was a man of principle. He thought of Sun Xiao desperately trying to get the information. No way around it, who made him a person with professional ethics? He bought them.
"Chief, I think if the Haiyun Country Sea God finds out about this, he'll be furious," Jin He Li said. She didn't expect her chief could be so mischievous.
The one-eyed man laughed, "Let him be angry. What can he do to me? Dreaming of building a statue in Dragon Country and absorbing believers."
"Have you researched anything about the weapon the evil creature left in the city center?"
Jin He Li said, "Not yet, but it contains astonishing energy fluctuations. If we can effectively utilize the energy within, it might bring us different results."
"Hmm, continue researching. I suspect that evil creature was sent by the Sea God. In ancient mythology, the trident represents the Sea God's exclusive weapon," the one-eyed man said.
He wanted to figure out what was going on.
Everything started with this weapon.
Jin He Li left with the draft. Glancing at it, she found the chief was truly skilled at provoking. With this draft, the Sea God would have a stroke if he saw it.
Outside.
Sun Xiao was waiting outside the department. Seeing the huge crowd, he had no other thoughts. It was too overwhelming. He could only take out his phone and record a video, then post it on the forum.
It was a live broadcast.
The Demon God sister desperately wanted to suck back the blood, but seeing so many people, she didn't know how to do it. She had noticed the human who proposed.
She was a little expectant.
If Lin Fan agreed, she might also try this method.
Hotel.
"Sister Mu, are we really not leaving?" The agent looked at Mu Qing, her gaze changing from loyalty to respect. She didn't expect Sister Mu to be so powerful.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes,
She wouldn't have believed it.
Mu Qing said, "Not for now."
She decided to stay in Yanhai City for the time being, looking at her phone with a helpless expression. Sometimes things were beyond her control, not as simple as she thought. But she couldn't tell anyone.
This was her own secret.
The agent left the room.
Mu Qing stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside. She was like a bird trapped in a cage, seemingly having a place to fly, but never able to get out.
May 29th.
Sunny.
Dragon Country's news media published a news article overnight.
It was published online and in print.
"If This is Considered a God, Then It's Quite Disappointing."
The title was simple.
It seemed innocuous, but everyone knew it was mocking the Sea God.
As for the content, whoever read it exclaimed, "Whoa, the one-eyed man in Yanhai City is a bit too domineering, this is quite a bold statement."
When Old Master Xu in Xiadu saw this news, he smiled knowingly.
He knew this was the one-eyed man's style, completely merciless, and he agreed with his approach. This was a good thing, suppressing the Haiyun Country's Sea God, letting the citizens know that the so-called Sea God was nothing more than this.
According to the investigation,
When the Sea God first appeared, it caused a huge stir in Dragon Country. The citizens' curiosity about the Sea God reached its peak, and many people were indeed tempted to believe in the Sea God and receive protection.
What ordinary people wanted was peace of mind, safety, and freedom from the harassment of evil creatures.
If the Sea God could protect them, even if it meant believing, so be it.
And now,
When they saw this news, they immediately dismissed the idea.
The Sea God had this level of power?
It felt like a deception.
And they didn't expect that their country had such a strong person, who could even beat up the Sea God. It was truly astonishing, and just thinking about it made them feel proud.
Sea God Temple.
The Sea God kicked Madonna to the ground, glaring at him furiously, "Tell me, what is this?"
Madonna was aggrieved, prostrate on the ground, "Master, I didn't expect Dragon Country to be so excessive. I'll go protest now."
The Sea God was full of regret.
If he had known this would happen,
He should have descended in his true form, not as a projection, which caused him to suffer the greatest humiliation in history.
It was useless to go there in his true form now.
Everyone had seen him being beaten.
Just thinking about it made him angry.
"Master…" At this moment, an evil creature arrived. It was the one that previously stood on the river surface, its body as tall as a mountain. Its current size had shrunk to normal, similar to Madonna's.
The Sea God's demeanor softened considerably, "You've worked hard."
"Being able to serve my master is my duty," the evil creature said respectfully.
Being able to be by God's side and serve the God in its heart was its greatest fortune.
Madonna saw the master being so kind to the evil creature and felt envious and jealous. Why was he so irritable towards him? In what way was he inferior to the other?
Perhaps to gain the master's affection, he had to work hard to show himself.
Let the master see his worth.
The Sea God said, "Return the weapon I gave you."
As a god, the Sea God always had a good mentality. This one had followed him for countless years, always living in the Sea God Temple. Now that the Sea God Temple had appeared, he had been cooped up for so long and definitely needed to relax.
He lent the trident to him, hoping he would use the divine weapon to put pressure on humanity.
The Sea God, waiting for the weapon, saw that he hadn't moved. He frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Great Master, the trident is not with me," the evil creature replied respectfully, prostrate on the ground.
"Hmm?" The Sea God was surprised, narrowing his eyes. "Oh, then where is it?"
He didn't get angry immediately.
Instead, he asked in a soft voice.
No matter what,
Maintaining his composure was essential.
"Great Master, I threw the trident into the city center to intimidate those humans," the evil creature reported truthfully, then added, "God, didn't you retrieve the trident?"
Facing his subordinate's question, the Sea God's gaze met his directly, anger burning in his heart. Then, suppressing his fury, he said with a forced smile, "I didn't retrieve it."
The evil creature said, "That's a pity…"
Hearing the evil creature's words, the Sea God couldn't bear it anymore. He rushed down from his throne, about to annihilate the evil creature's body and soul. He raised his hand and shouted angrily, "You scoundrel…"
"No, Great God, listen to my explanation. I did everything according to your orders," the evil creature shouted, a trace of calmness remaining on his panicked face.
He thought clearly and launched a preemptive strike:
"At that time, when you lent me the trident, you told me to appear on the river surface, attract the humans' attention, then throw the trident into the center of Yanhai City, causing heaven and earth to change, creating a terrifying vision, and intimidating humans."
"I followed your instructions perfectly and did absolutely nothing extra."
The evil creature seemed to feel that this wasn't enough to prove his innocence. He stated firmly:
"I absolutely did not deviate from the script."
For the evil creature to know the word "script" clearly showed it had been learning.
The Sea God's hand stopped above the evil creature's head, only a hair's breadth away from slapping it to death.
"Is everything you said true?" The Sea God frowned. Where did things go wrong? Was it really his fault?
The evil creature said, "It's absolutely true, not a single lie."
The Sea God thought back.
It seemed…it really was his fault.
Damn it!
He was dazed from the beating and forgot such an important matter.
The Sea God really wanted to grab his head.
So annoying.
It would be very difficult to retrieve the trident now.
