Chapter 913: Punishment No Matter How Far
In an instant, all major streaming platforms were flooded with comments.
This is definitely the biggest news of the year.
The number one female star from Huaxia Country has been captured by the Cannibal Tribe.
"Everyone, don't panic. This is hype, definitely hype. If it's not hype, I'll livestream eating shit tomorrow."
"So it's just hype? Gave me a scare. Is this for a new album or a new movie? It doesn't seem like Lin Goddess mentioned releasing a new album or movie recently."
"It doesn't look like hype. From the expression on the goddess's face, it seems genuine..."
"That's just our goddess's superb acting."
"Luckily, it's not real. Scared the hell out of me."
"Stop spamming comments, I can't see my goddess anymore."
"..."
All sorts of strange and bizarre comments filled the screen, almost completely obscuring the video.
The number of viewers in all major livestream rooms began to skyrocket.
Especially the numbers in the Douya livestream room, which surpassed one million in just a few minutes.
Keep in mind, this livestream room had just launched.
It was using a completely unknown streamer's account.
A million, that's a number only achieved by some top-notch streamers.
Furthermore, the number was still rapidly climbing.
After all, Lin Lu was already a phenomenal existence.
A super traffic celebrity.
Even one piece of news about her could crash servers.
Not to mention the current situation.
Livestream, Cannibal Tribe!
The traffic surged even faster.
However, most people thought this was a meticulously planned hype.
Perhaps Lin Lu was releasing a new album or movie.
"Maybe people think this is hype or a movie shoot, but I'm telling you all, this is real. Soon, your goddess will become our meal!" the old ghost said, laughing.
"Really? I don't believe it. Unless you eat her right now!"
"This kind of tactic to gain popularity is too despicable. Lin Goddess, I liked you so much, but I didn't expect you to stoop so low, using this to grab attention."
"Exactly, if it's a song by Lin Goddess, I'd listen; if it's a movie she's in, I'd watch. But to use this tactic, I won't listen or watch anymore."
"Lin Goddess, you've let us down so much!"
"Such a celebrity is disgraceful and should be banned!"
"..."
Watching the barrage of doubts, disappointments, and even denunciations.
Lin Lu felt an overwhelming bitterness.
She wished it was truly hype so that even if her fans hated her in the future,
even if she fell from grace and was no longer a popular star in Huaxia Country,
at least she wouldn't die.
She wanted to refute,
but was powerless to do so.
She didn't even have the mood to try.
She was about to die.
Why care about others' opinions?
"Everyone, don't get excited. Listen to me. Think about it, does Lin Goddess with her current popularity need to use such a tactic? All she has to do is post on Weibo about a new album or movie, and how many people would rush to listen or watch?"
"Indeed, Lin Goddess's popularity is evident to everyone. Using such a reputation-damaging approach would be utterly counterproductive. No agency with a sound mind would do such a thing."
"Holy shit, could it be that Lin Goddess was truly kidnapped by the Cannibal Tribe?"
"Oh my God, poor Lin Goddess."
"Now I almost wish this is all just hype. After all, which star doesn't hype themselves nowadays? If Lin Goddess hypes a little, it's no big deal. Her singing is so good, she never lip-syncs, and her acting is top-notch..."
"..."
The popularity surged again.
The number of viewers on Douya has reached five million!
Five million, what does that mean?
Even the most famous streamers couldn't achieve that.
"Damn, who boosted the numbers? It's been a few minutes, and four million more viewers?" Even Douya's tech chief couldn't believe the numbers.
"Chief, we didn't boost!"
"Not even one?"
"Not even one, all real live viewers!"
"Holy shit, it's gonna blow!"
"Yeah, in just these few minutes, another three million increase!"
The number of online viewers reached eight million.
Previously, Douya would often control viewership to promote a streamer.
Faking online numbers.
Obviously only fifty people, they'd show fifty thousand.
Obviously only five thousand, they'd show five hundred thousand.
Those so-called millions of viewers were largely fabricated.
If the real online count was a few thousand, it was already impressive.
But now.
No masking needed.
No fake accounts.
The online numbers continued to soar.
The same situation was happening on other platforms.
The Tuyu platform also had seven million viewers.
However, international video sites had average numbers.
Because, firstly, Lin Lu's main influence was domestic,
and secondly, they were used to Huaxia people's hype.
Some even directly assumed it was a movie.
"It seems people still have doubts. Let me show everyone a demonstration, some appetizers." the old ghost snickered at the camera.
A few minutes later, two workers, also masked, brought in a heavily tied-up woman into the dining area.
Then...
The scene was too bloody to describe.
...
"Holy shit, are you kidding? They're really eating people!"
"Oh my God, these people are too cruel!"
"These people deserve to die!"
"..."
Upon witnessing the bloody scene, everyone understood.
This wasn't hype, nor a show.
This was all real.
Their goddess was indeed captured by the Cannibal Tribe and about to be eaten!
"Now, everyone believes in our sincerity, right?" the old ghost was very pleased with the comments.
"Quick, investigate immediately and find the location!"
Once the incident's authenticity was confirmed, countless people were shocked.
In China, countless bigwigs began to use their methods to track down the livestream's location.
"This is provocation, a blatant provocation against China. Immediately notify the Divine Team, China Shield, Re... Greedy Wolf Special Forces commander to see me!"
Even China's top brass were alarmed.
After all, such acts were excessively brutal.
The impact, too atrocious.
If it wasn't Lin Lu who was captured, perhaps the Huaxia side wouldn't have reacted so strongly.
"Anyone who dares harm a citizen of Huaxia Country will be hunted down, no matter how far!"
