Chapter 149 Midnight Forum
"Look! It's only been a short while since the show aired, and there are already so many topics discussing you!"
Bill held the phone in front of Arthur and opened a few apps at random.
Each of these softwares has topics related to today's chat. Judging from the comments of netizens, most of them support Song Tianxing's point of view.
Although Su Ming was popular, most people felt that he should continue to gain experience in the Investigation Bureau for a few more years.
Many people also cited various examples to prove that strength and management ability are not linked. For example, there is an S-level psychic in the Sixth Investigation Bureau, but that S-level is only the captain level.
Arthur closed the ordinary forum with satisfaction and opened the official website of the Investigation Bureau. His support rate was still far ahead, completely overwhelming Su Ming and Ying Shuran!
This is just the beginning, the show has just ended, and as time goes on, his support rate will surely rise further.
"Humph, Su Ming is indeed very powerful, but when it comes to gaining popularity, he's still a little green compared to me." Arthur said proudly.
"There's still a long time before the election. The other side must have some tricks up their sleeves. We can't let our guard down," Bill warned cautiously.
"Ha! Bill, you are just too cautious. I am in a great advantage now!
Su Ming's only strength worth boasting about is no longer useful. Everyone feels that experience and character are more important.
The video of him killing the white-clad female ghost a few days ago has now become more negative. Anyone who has seen it knows that he is a lone ranger. I believe that no sensible person will support him. "
"Maybe he can find someone to canvass for votes?" Bill said worriedly.
Arthur shook his head disapprovingly and replied casually, "You professionals are sometimes too cautious. Who else do you think he can ask for votes? His superiors? It's useless no matter how much his superiors praise him!
District Chief Song is an elder among the local residents. Looking at all the district chiefs in Dongyang Island, there are not many who can stay in office for ten years. His influence is great. "
Bill lowered his head, smiled and nodded . What Arthur said was indeed right.
Arthur was right. It seemed that the other party really had no tricks up their sleeves. Ordinary bragging was useless and the people would not buy it.
Su Ming's only chance of turning the tide now is Arthur's scandal, but Arthur has no scandal.
Although he has many fans and is very popular, his private life is simple and he never squanders money. His external image is that of a sunny and healthy brother next door.
"I'm going back today and will try to come up with a new promotional plan tomorrow."
"Thank you for your hard work." Arthur patted Bill's shoulder and yawned. "I'm a little sleepy. I'm going upstairs to sleep first."
"Well, remember to get up early and patrol tomorrow. We still need to consolidate our base."
"Got it. Bye."
Arthur saw Bill off and returned to the bedroom on the second floor. He lay on the bed and looked at the comments section praising him and questioning Su Ming's posts. He felt so happy.
Looking back now, the female ghost in white who was robbed and killed a few days ago is not so shameful. Elections are always about long-term performance. It is too difficult to shake the public's voting intention with just one thing.
If Su Ming had debuted a few years earlier and achieved many achievements, he might indeed have felt pressured, but now, people will only vote for him because he is more familiar and stable.
…
In his sleep, Arthur vaguely heard a pleasant melody, as if it was his wake-up ring.
He wanted to sleep for a while, but suddenly realized that the sound just now was the sound of his cell phone ringing. Arthur forced himself to pick up the phone. The glaring light hurt his eyes. The caller ID showed that it was Bill.
" Bill , why are you calling me at one in the morning?"
Arthur pressed the answer button: "Hello."
"Arthur, go read the comments on the forum!"
"What's wrong?" Arthur frowned.
"If you find any posts about Su Ming, just go to the Dongyang Island Forum and you'll see them right away."
After saying that, Bill hung up the phone.
Arthur seemed to have sensed Bill's serious tone, and he woke up completely as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.
He turned on his mobile phone and typed Dongyang Island Forum into the search browser.
On the forum’s homepage, there are three posts with eye-catching titles hanging in the premium section.
[Four people entered the Black Gate Incident, and were ordered to solve the mystery of the Black Gate alone and rescue thousands of people who were brainwashed by criminals! ]
[The Stairs of Fear breaks through the limit, unmeasurable fear resistance, Demon Slayer! ]
[Subway Hunter! Indirectly saving countless lives in the future! ]
"What is this?"
Arthur nervously clicked on the first post:
[Yesterday I read Today's Miscellaneous, and I felt that District Chief Song Tianxing's words were biased, so I wrote this manuscript overnight to clarify for Su Ming.
First of all, I would like to state that I am not from the Seventh Bureau, but several of my colleagues participated in the Black Gate mission, so I know the details about this mission.
Before this, this Black Gate was a top-secret mission of S-level difficulty, and was kept secret even from ordinary specialists.
But now this mission is no longer confidential, because Su Ming has overcome this difficult task. Now Black Gate is under the control of the Investigation Bureau, and the current danger level has been lowered to a safe level.
First, let me introduce you to Black Gate...】
Arthur read all the contents at a glance. What this person was talking about was mainly the extremely dangerous black door in another dimension that had not been solved for fifty years and had swallowed up a large number of commissioners.
Many years ago, the criminals who first entered the Black Gate space used the rules of the space to kill outsiders and robbed innocent humans who entered the alien space as labor, and women as reproductive machines. The evil rulers brainwashed everyone in the Black Gate into warriors hostile to the outside world and established their own kingdom in the alien space.
The post described in detail the darkness of the Black Gate Kingdom and the complexity of its rules, and also said that an S-class and many A-class psychics had died.
However, this almost impossible to accomplish deadly mission was completed directly by Su Ming and three others!
"What's going on? Is it true?" Arthur couldn't believe it. He had never heard of a mission like the Black Gate.
But his intuition told him that this was true. If this was a rumor, it would be a huge damage to Su Ming's reputation. This post should be the work of Qiji, and they would not shoot themselves in the foot.
Arthur quickly scrolled through the screen to read netizens' comments.
[One person leads a team to kill through a kingdom that rules another dimension. Is this fake? 】
[My husband is from the Investigation Bureau. He said this was true, but he said that the Investigation Bureau sent people to back him up in the end. Although the original poster's statement is a bit exaggerated, there were indeed only four people who went in at the beginning, and I heard that it was indeed Su Ming who cracked the rules inside the Black Gate, otherwise people from outside would not dare to go in.]
[I know a little about this matter. Since the original poster has mentioned it, I will mention it. I will summarize it in two words: awesome! The original poster's statement is conservative and not exaggerated.
You may think that this mission is just like solving a puzzle game to crack the rules of the alien space, but what if I tell you that there are brainwashed children in it? And those children can also use supernatural powers? What would you do when faced with such a child attacking you? 】
[Answer the above post, what happened to those children later? Were they all killed? ]
[Don't worry, no one died, that's why I said Su Ming is awesome, with just a few people facing a group of superpowers besieging him, he was able to show mercy, just think about how difficult it was, if it wasn't for my best friend saying it himself, I would never believe it. I heard that those kids are now receiving ideological treatment in the Seventh Bureau, I think there should be news later.]
[If it's true, it's too strong. I feel that this ability to command operations is enough to qualify him as a district chief.]
[Is this the legendary S-rank newcomer who has only been here for less than half a month? Love it.]
"What kind of S-level mission is this? Why haven't I heard of it? Was it just conquered, but the intelligence report to the alliance hasn't been approved yet?" Arthur immediately opened the second post.
The second post talks about Su Ming's deeds of eliminating the fear stairs.
Although ordinary people know about demons, only a few know that fighting against demons requires a talent called fear resistance. This post explains in detail the importance of fear resistance, and finally makes a summary - Su Ming is currently the person with the highest fear resistance on Dongyang Island!
In other words, when fighting against demons, his combat power will far exceed that of other psychics.
[Is this true? It feels like a lie. Is this officially recognized? ]
[Not sure, but now the room used to test fear has indeed been unsealed, and it should have really become an ordinary room]
[Witness the birth of the demon killer. May I ask you, do you still remember that night star? ]
[Fuck! Don’t mention Ye Xing above, tears are falling. I hope Su Ming can become the second Ye Xing! ]
"Damn it, what is Night Star? Is it a meme? An honorary title unique to Dongyang Island?"
Arthur had just arrived in Dongyang Island and didn't know much about its history. Yexing's death happened several years ago and he knew nothing about it.
Arthur's fingers swiped a few times quickly. The discussion heat of this post was not as high as the first one, the black door, but it was not less popular at all. Netizens expressed their admiration for the genius.
The theme of the third post was simple and clear - Su Ming killed the subway stalker and indirectly saved countless lives that would have died in the future.
The Subway Stalker is a monster that is widely known throughout the world. Its characteristics are that its survival rate is extremely low, and people who are too strong cannot enter the alien space where the Stalker is. Those who can enter will be killed by the Stalker.
This directly led to the fact that investigation bureaus around the world were unable to deal with this anomaly and had to leave it alone.
Although the number of people killed by this monster is far less than that of terrifying creatures such as demons, it is feared by ordinary people because it appears in the subway that everyone uses on a daily basis.
The replies below the post are all expressions of gratitude to Su Ming.
Of course, there are also doubts about Su Ming, because the subway stalker will not allow humans stronger than it to enter the subway station. The fact that Su Ming can enter the subway station means that he is weaker than the stalker, so why Su Ming can kill the stalker has become a widely discussed topic.
