Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Chapter 281: 140: Viral Spread_2



Elementary students made such jokes online just to hear someone call them "Dad."

But they didn't know that their words had caused a huge logical contradiction in a family in Linxiang City.

And that was just the mild stuff. There were some even uglier lies.

In Linxiang City, transformed into wallets and toilets, naturally, there were people speaking for them.

But humans are a very interesting species. When ten people bully one, it's called bullying, but if seven billion bully a few million... it's called justice.

Linxiang City was filled with justice.

Over the past few days, the people of Linxiang City had suffered endless insults because of their sincerity, and more and more citizens, because of some lies and conflicts between lies... led to brain crashes, falling into madness and collapse.

Luckily, it didn't last long, because everything was—spreading.

By the fifteenth day, the districts surrounding Linxiang City, even the nearby Hechuan City, had been affected.

At that point, everyone panicked.

When they realized that the "dumbing aura" would spread, affecting more and more areas and was still spreading...

Everyone was afraid that the current people of Linxiang City were what they would look like in the future.

So people changed all at once:

"Protect Linxiang City! Don't bully the people of Linxiang City anymore! We can't bully these kind and sincere people!"

"Damn it, stop the evil acts, you scum!"

Calls like this increased.

Of course, many people also realized that the bullying and exploitation of Linxiang City needed to be accelerated, to scoop up as much as possible before—

joining the environment of "calling for the protection of Linxiang City," acting as if they had never bullied Linxiang City.

Of course, the situation in Linxiang City was quite special.

Despite the constant calls, the pollution in Linxiang City did not stop spreading.

This is quite interesting.

The cities and districts near Linxiang City cried with tears— "Let the world be sincere! Don't let lies poison Linxiang City anymore!"

"Where is your cultivation? Where is your quality? What about sincerity between people?"

Because of their proximity, they were the first and most ruthless exploiters of Linxiang City.

Many cried out about the injustice to the people of Linxiang City while planning to move...

But they were somewhat reluctant to leave, after all, by deceiving, they had gained many shops and properties from the people of Linxiang City, and these things couldn't be taken with them.

So, everyone turned into angels, looking righteous and solemn, looking compassionate—

Those places far from the pollution burst into laughter.

During these days, Zhou Baiyu's expression became more solemn day by day; his resistance to lies was still there, and his ability to lie was still there...

But he didn't know how long he could hold on.

All he knew was...

Facing this "justice bullying" by seven billion against a few million, he could do nothing.

Yes.

All he could do was try his best to protect the people around him from being hurt by lies.

He told a lie, making his parents, Constantine Ling Hansu, the chairman, and others, all hide inside the house.

He was responsible for collecting resources daily, using the power of lies to ensure his companions all kept themselves safe within a narrow range.

It was as if the apocalypse had already arrived outside.

In fact, when the real world was invaded by lies, it was indeed an apocalypse.

But Zhou Baiyu was not without progress.

In his investigation list, he had already identified one-hundred and twenty-seven people who had lied and deeply infiltrated Linxiang City.

Many of these people had become like the residents of Linxiang City, only speaking the truth and unable to discern falsehoods.

Of course, among these people, there must be a source of pollution.

Zhou Baiyu kept investigating, attempting to lure them out through divine misfortunes over these days.

But he had yet to find the other party.

It was by exploiting this pollution that he was able to clean up other sources of pollution.

At this point, Linxiang City was almost free of other kinds of pollution.

Zhou Baiyu, over these days, had eliminated all the other new divine forces in Linxiang City.

Now, as long as he found that "sincere" source of pollution, Linxiang City, although hard to return to its previous state, could at least, in the short term, not be twisted and affected by pollution.

Zhou Baiyu was accelerating his efforts.

At the same time, Linxiang City also faced its third round of changes.

...

...

Day sixteen.

"Beware of honest people!"

That day, Zhou Baiyu was left with forty-five targets.

Day seventeen.

The people of Longxia Country contracted a disease that made people only speak the truth and unable to distinguish lies, and this news spread across the world.

This contagious ailment, which turned the entirety of Longxia into a nation of "honesty," was seen as a good thing by other countries.

The fundamental difference between humans and other species is that humans can lie.

"Lies are our precious assets! We can't let a disease take that away!"

This outcry found agreement worldwide.

Linxiang City and Hechuan City were completely sealed off.

No one wanted to become a "fool."

No one wished to become a fool manipulated by lies in the future unless it could be completely guaranteed that there was not a single person in the world who could lie.

But people always harbored a bit of wishful thinking—

"If I don't interact with people from Linxiang City, I can just keep deceiving people online, right?"

Almost everyone thought this way.

Day eighteen—

"People from Linxiang City and Hechuan City have been completely sealed off."

"Why don't we continue to deceive people online?"

What a tempting thought.

Fortunately, Zhou Baiyu soon struck hard against these people using the characteristic of "being from Linxiang."

"Contact with Linxiang people online can actually transmit the sincerity virus!"

This post was made by others at Zhou Baiyu's behest. Since the IP was from Linxiang City, where nearly no insincere people remained,

the message was spoken by people of Linxiang City who could not lie. This meant—this was the truth.

Thus, panic began to spread.

In fact, locking down Linxiang City and Hechuan City would not stop the "contamination" from spreading.

Because the nature of the contamination was not a disease, as the Songjiang City area near Hechuan City also began to see "infections"—

people had to consider that the absurd message of "the virus can spread through the internet" might be true.

So people began to call for... a higher level of "civilized suppression."

Cut off the internet connection for Linxiang City and Hechuan City, as well as the infected areas of Songjiang City!

Let them be removed from modern life, complete isolated from the outside world.

No one could have imagined that one day, people who could lie would drive those who were sincere back into the corners of an earlier civilization.

But these calls were indeed growing louder.

It was the eighteenth day.

That day, Zhou Baiyu's task list had only seven people left.

Among these seven people, Zhou Baiyu did not eliminate them one by one. According to the intelligence he received, six were foreigners.

Only one middle-aged drunk wearing a mask had lived in Linxiang City for a few months.

When the number decreased from one hundred and twenty-seven to seven, he had essentially reached a conclusion.

In fact, Zhou Baiyu had come to a conclusion days ago because the pollutant strain of the new god was most likely a foreign visitor.

Among these one hundred and twenty-seven, only sixteen were foreigners. This proportion was also quite high, as many Westerners wanted to get rich in Linxiang City.

The quarantine brought many advantages; no new people could enter Linxiang City, so the number of people who could lie in Linxiang City was dwindling.

Zhou Baiyu's investigation was becoming smoother.

Looking at the target on the blackboard, the bald middle-aged drunk, Zhou Baiyu knew—

this absurd drama that was waiting to affect the entire world was finally nearing its conclusion.

"Found you, bastard!"

At the same time, the middle-aged drunk, Ryan, also realized that this city seemed to have another "emperor."
