Chapter 236: The Evil Scientist Who Profanes Life

On the internet.

News about the appearance of green humanoid monsters on the beach is spreading like wildfire.

Various videos, images, and written accounts are being shared frantically across all kinds of online platforms, sparking heated discussions among countless people.

"Holy crap! The previous rumors were actually true; there really are green monsters!"

"Is this thing a fish or a human?"

"It looks so disgusting!"

"Covered in green fish scales and transparent slime, yet shaped like a human—it makes me feel sick even looking at people now."

"This monster seems to be able to talk, and it was shouting in the Sakura language. Could it be a mutated human?"

"That's actually quite possible, after all, it is Sakura Country... right?"

"It seems we shouldn't have contact with people from Sakura Country anymore, otherwise it would be terrible if we got infected."

The green monster, its face smeared with blood and wearing a ferocious expression, roaring toward the sky, has appeared on the covers of many overseas news outlets.

"It doesn't matter. If work can't be carried out, just stop production. If anyone goes on strike, just fire them."

"And those green monsters that have been discovered so far are all from Sakura Country."

"But several overseas branches have already been vandalized, and some people are striking, saying they refuse to work for an evil scientist who profanes life."

"In the history of scientific development over the past few hundred years, it's not that no one has researched human enhancement or modification technology; on the contrary, many passionate top-tier scientists have poured a massive amount of effort into this, yet no one has ever achieved effective results."

"Anyone with even a little common sense in biology should know that such consistent biological characteristics could absolutely not have come from mutation."

The public opinion power controlled by Su Xin is naturally incomparable to those people in the Yongji Society, and even less capable of stopping those crazy self-media outlets chasing clout.

"So, after excluding the option of mutation, the only possibility is artificial modification."

"If anyone causes trouble because of this, the top-tier legal team we support isn't just there to eat for free."

"Yet it suddenly appeared now."

Su Xin sneered:

At a time like this, the truth no longer matters; even if someone guessed the truth, they would be unable to change the perception of the vast majority of people.

Although Su Xin also controls strong public opinion power overseas, conspiracy theories are often easier for people to believe.

"They still have slime on their bodies; for some series, they even save on lubricant."

It just so happens that in this video, Daocun Wenfu only caused serious injuries to the young couple before being easily subdued by a Combat Drone, so the fear in everyone's hearts wasn't that strong.

The video circulating most on the internet is the one of Daocun Wenfu chasing that young couple.

Many people have successively denounced Su Xin and demanded that Su Xin come out to give everyone an explanation.

"Only that one person!"

"Could Long Country have known in advance that this place would be attacked? How did the Combat Drone appear so quickly? It was only a minute or so at most."

"A friend of mine is studying abroad in Sakura Country, and I'm wondering if I should cut ties with him?"

As this report was continuously reposted, this small media outlet became almost famous worldwide, fiercely reaping a wave of traffic dividends.

"Putting these two clues together, it already explains a lot of problems."

"Moreover, judging from his various past performances, he is indeed very hostile toward people from Sakura Country and has used various means to strike at them."

"The green monster videos and images currently circulating on the internet clearly show that there is definitely more than one such green monster, and they all have the same physical characteristics."

Under the joint control of Hao Zude and others and the Tianqi Group, there have been very few negative reports, because the vast majority of people cannot access that information, let alone spread such speculation.

And.

"Doesn't this mean we'll have movies to watch in the future? The teachers I like will surely turn into green monsters too; how can they film movies like that!"

"Perhaps it's because they were attacked before, so they had deployments at several major beaches, and just happened to run into the green monster attack."

"But because someone is guilty of a guilty conscience and is using the power they control to manipulate public opinion!"

"The difficulty is comparable to completely curing cancer, so for so many years, there has never been a real human-modified monster."

This kind of rhetoric quickly spread throughout the world and gained the agreement of many people.

"Plus the words shouted by the green monster, it is clearly full of hatred for that scientific genius."

"Su Xin, you devil, I want to kill everyone in your Long Country!"

And while the whole internet was in heated discussion.

"But we didn't!"

News about the green monsters has recently been a hot topic worldwide, and now that it's linked to Su Xin, it has instantly ignited the globe.

"Boss, do we really not need to manage this?"

"Additionally, the reason I didn't directly state the identity I guessed is because the other party controls very strong public opinion power and legal power. If I'm not careful, this article will vanish, our newspaper office will be wiped out by the other party's capital power, and I might even be sued and thrown into prison."

The vast majority of people are just discussing the green monsters as mutants.

"If compensation cannot be obtained, or if the authorities side with the troublemakers, we will stop work directly and cancel all cooperation with the local area."

"Before long, maybe everyone in Sakura Country will turn into these monsters. Ugh! Just thinking about that scene makes me feel sick!"

Human modification is a taboo for humanity.

"After this matter ends, anyone who performed passively or showed resistance during this incident will have their salary reduced by 20%. If they can accept it, they stay; if they can't, they are fired."

"The green monster that can speak Sakura language is undoubtedly evolved from a human. As for how it evolved, it's either radiation mutation or artificial modification; there is no other possibility."

"Boss! The point is that the overseas branches are having a lot of trouble now. There are always people protesting outside, making it impossible for us to carry out our work normally."

After a clash in the shadows, overseas public opinion almost completely collapsed. On media channels outside of the Tianqi Group, almost everyone was spreading rumors that Su Xin was conducting evil human modification.

"I, damn it, was just chatting with a mature lady in Sakura Country two days ago. Won't I be infected? Oh no, I have to go get checked immediately!"

"Of course not."

However, due to the distance and the noise surrounding the person filming, only Daocun Wenfu's voice was vaguely recorded. It was impossible to distinguish what he was shouting, so people did not link the modifier to Su Xin.

"Right now, it's a buyer's market, not a seller's market like yours. We can make as much trouble as we want, and smash as much as we want; as long as we don't buy your products, there's nothing you can do."

"This is for sure, but you are a bit curious—two green monsters entangled together..."

"Could it be that no one in Long Country thinks the green monsters are actually modified humans? Or that no one thinks the modified humans have anything to do with that big shot?"

Another new video about the green monsters suddenly appeared on an overseas forum.

"My dad is in the import-export business and goes to Sakura Country quite often; should he change his profession?"

"Don't worry, Qingli, those people will at most condemn it verbally; they can't do anything to me."

"The result is beyond doubt."

Plus the secret push from a certain force.

In the video, a green monster chases tourists on the beach, knocks a fleeing tourist to the ground with a slap, grabs the tourist's body, buries its head in the other's neck, bites for a while, and then tosses the twitching body of the tourist aside, roaring loudly:

For an individual, no matter how lofty their reputation and status, once they are tainted by such matters, their reputation will be trampled to the bottom by everyone.

A report from one small overseas media outlet was reposted by countless people and subjected to discussion.

Once encountered, at least everyone won't lose their courage; that would actually be safer.

"But mutation is usually not directional."

This made many other media and self-media outlets jealous, and they began to follow the trend by publishing similar remarks.

The internet, however, appeared calm and tranquil.

"It is because their management and protection were inadequate that they caused us losses, so everything must be taken back from them."

"During this period, all losses caused by our work stoppage, including breach of contract compensation to suppliers and customers, employee subsidies, lost profits, loss of reputation, mental distress, and all other losses, shall be fully compensated by the local authorities."

"In Long Country, all mainstream voices are discussing that the green monsters are mutants."

All kinds of conspiracy theories are rampant.

And Long Country.

"It's too dangerous here now; it might become a lair for mutants after a while."

"Until the compensation is in place, we will consider renegotiating the cooperation."

Especially since transforming people into monsters like this is not permitted by the whole world.

This is also one of the reasons why Su Xin deliberately allowed the video to spread: to make people in the coastal areas vigilant and to give everyone a preliminary understanding of the modifiers, so it will be easier to deal with in the future.

"Everyone think about it: as a monster who has been transformed into something hideous and unable to integrate into society, who would be the person they hate the most in their heart?"

Unlike ordinary netizens who focus their attention mainly on the green monsters, countries, in addition to paying attention to the green monsters, also noticed the drones that appeared subsequently.

Sitting in the office of the Experimental Building, Su Xin held the phone and smiled:

"The two people above have such heavy tastes!"

"It's just the right opportunity to let them make a good scene; after things settle down in the future, I'll have an excuse to readjust the terms of cooperation."

"Even with the development of science and technology today, it is almost impossible for those top scientists to complete human body modification, even for human body modification with obvious defects like the green monsters."

"The eyes of the people of Long Country have been blinded."

"Evil scientist? There's already a new nickname so soon? It sounds quite interesting."

"Emergency Defense Force? Is that some new department they established?"

"If you don't believe me, everyone can look at the Long Country internet; that is someone's base of public opinion."

"May I ask, in this world, who could possess such powerful biological technology?"
