Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

Su Xue then pulled Liu Qing away.

There's no need to waste words; it's simply not logical.

"Don't leave. Let's leave this here. If this continues, she'll lose her job."

"She has already apologized to me, please don't pursue this any further."

The sixth brother quickly stepped forward and blocked Su Xue and Liu Qing's path.

Su Xue and Liu Qing hadn't expected the power of netizens to be so strong.

They initially thought the buzz surrounding this matter would only last a day or two at most.

Who knew it would last this long? Now the situation is beyond their control.

It was all in vain for Lao Liu to look for them.

"We didn't fuel the fire; the matter is settled, and contacting us won't help."

"If you want to ease her burden, just post a video to let netizens know."

"Explain the situation briefly, and assure them that you are alright."

"Just say she apologized to you, that's all. Isn't that simple?"

I'm really annoyed by Lao Liu's nagging.

If we don't show him the way, he probably won't leave.

Su Xue had no choice but to patiently offer him a solution that was hardly a solution.

Hearing Su Xue say this, Lao Liu also felt that she made sense; they really couldn't be entirely blamed for this.

I really want to talk about it.

I can only blame myself for being too greedy.

Everything was fine until I was greedy for small gains.

It was precisely because of greed for those few hundred yuan that things got out of control.

"But I don't know how to operate it. How about you film a video for me and post it for me while you're at it?"

After a long silence, the sixth brother finally spoke.

He also considered going home and figuring out how to operate it himself.

But they don't understand this technology at all.

If you don't know something but still try to be strong, you're just asking for trouble.

Time is precious, and the sooner the facts are clarified, the less damage can be done. Faced with Lao Liu's request, seeing his expectant eyes and the crow's feet around his eyes, Su Xue and Liu Qing couldn't help but feel guilty, realizing that they had done wrong.

Those previous actions.

It was just taking advantage of Lao Liu's greedy nature.

His actions, however, have caused Lao Liu so much trouble.

Is this really helping Lao Liu? Lao Liu never intended to pursue the matter in the first place.

He only forced Lao Liu into this situation because he wanted to gain attention.

Besides, this doesn't do them any harm.

Clarifying the facts in advance can reduce overreactions from netizens.

At the same time, it will also allow them to gain another wave of traffic, a win-win situation, so why not?

Seeing that Su Xue and Liu Qing had both fallen silent.

The sixth brother thought they were unwilling to help.

In a moment of desperation, he made a tough decision.

Then he said to Su Xue and Liu Qing:

"I'll return the previous nine hundred yuan to you; consider it payment for filming this video."

This money is really too hot to handle.

The item has now been returned to its rightful owner.

It can also make me feel better.

Old Liu thought to himself that nine hundred yuan was no small sum. He figured he could ask the other party for a small favor, right? But he still wasn't sure.

Nine hundred dollars is indeed a significant amount for me.

But for these two young ladies, nine hundred yuan doesn't seem to be much at all.

They were willing to casually hand over nine hundred yuan just to get me to cooperate.

But nine hundred dollars might not be enough to get them to help.

“We don’t want the money, but we’ll help you with this. Don’t feel too much pressure. To be honest, we also have some responsibility in this matter, and we will try our best to handle it well,” Su Xue said.

And let Lao Liu take the money back.

She didn't want the money; there's no reason to take back money that's already been given away.

Besides, they really don't need the money, and it's clear that this money is very important to Lao Liu. Since that's the case, let him keep the money; filming the video is simple.

This video could even bring them more benefits.

"Really, we don't need it. We really don't need this money."

Liu Qing added.

"Taking a video won't be a problem, let's go, it won't take long."

Their attitudes changed.

Ultimately, neither Su Xue nor Liu Qing are bad people.

After realizing the problem, they also planned to make amends.

……

Little did they know, it was too late to remedy the situation.

The single mother was greatly affected by the criticism from relatives and neighbors because of this incident. Even her youngest daughter asked with innocent eyes:

"Mom, why didn't you go and help then?"

"Is it because you're too busy with work?"

Tong Yan Wuji.

The child didn't think too much about it.

Ask as soon as it comes to mind.

But these words nearly drove the mother to a breakdown.

After settling the child in, she went to the balcony alone.

Looking down, she saw an abyss of darkness, the night thick with darkness. The wind was strong on the balcony, more than ten meters high; she felt fear, yet also a sense of dizziness.

A feeling of collapse washed over me.

In fact, it felt as if a voice in my mind was constantly urging me on.

Gusts of cold wind occasionally whistled past.

My thoughts, however, were unusually chaotic and confused.

"They don't understand you, they all misunderstand you, what's the point of living like this?"

"Even your daughter, whom you raised with such difficulty, sees you this way."

"Is someone like you really necessary to exist?"

"What does living mean to you? Nobody needs you, everyone is blaming you."

"Jump! Jump down and you'll be free."

"Once you take this step, you won't have to suffer over these things anymore, and perhaps your next life will be better."

The eerie voice echoing in her mind caused the single mother immense mental anguish.

He had already reached the edge of the balcony, and one foot was even over the railing.

If this situation continues,
He is very likely to jump off the building.

If this continues, he may lose his life.

Even if one doesn't intend to die, a slight misstep during hesitation can lead to...
He might slip and fall. However, he didn't consider these factors at all.

"I think someone's upstairs? Oh my god, what's that footsteps? That's terrifying."

The downstairs residents were quite frightened.

Although people often say that the eighteenth floor is unlucky.

But they have always been staunch materialists.

What kind of demons and monsters come from in this era?
The eighteenth floor is just a bit hotter in the summer.
But the apartment was indeed much cheaper than those on other floors, so the young couple decided to settle down there. They had joked that if they encountered anything strange, they would ask a master to come and take a look. Tonight, just as they were preparing to spend the night together, they heard footsteps upstairs.

At first I thought it was a hallucination.
But how could it be a hallucination when both of them heard it at the same time?
Both sides heard strange noises, which was enough to prove that there was indeed movement upstairs.

"What should I do? I shouldn't have been so greedy for this."

The woman was terrified.

She nestled tightly in her husband's arms.

"What should we do now? Is there something dirty upstairs?"

Her delicate body trembled slightly; she was clearly terrified.

"Don't be afraid, there aren't that many strange things in the world, no need to panic."

"I'll go upstairs and check on things. You wait for me in the room."

"I'll see which bastard is playing tricks. If I catch him, I'll make him pay."

As he spoke, the man tried to break free from his wife's embrace.

He planned to go to the rooftop alone to check the situation.

Since he dared to buy the 18th floor, it shows that he is not superstitious.

In fact, he wasn't afraid, especially considering the possibility of ghosts and monsters.
He was more convinced that someone was just loitering around out of boredom and that he had to warn them.

If people start going to the rooftop every day from now on...
Even if you know there's no problem, you'll still feel uneasy.

"Don't leave me behind, I'm scared to be alone in the room. Let's go together." The woman clung tightly to her husband, preventing him from going alone.

Actually, she wanted to say "never mind".
But with her husband by her side to bolster her courage
They decided to go and check it out together.

She didn't believe there was anything sinister; at most, it was just a prank. "Even if there really is someone up there, don't do anything. Communicate properly."

Harmony should be valued in all things.

She was really worried that her husband would hit her.

"I know, I'm not being unreasonable."

……

The two arrived at the rooftop, only to find it deserted.

This left them both confused and terrified.

Soon after, the entire neighborhood suddenly became noisy.

Many residents turned on their lights, and the sound of an ambulance siren could be heard downstairs. The couple exchanged a glance, hurried downstairs, and learned some news from the whispers of those around them.

Just recently,
Someone jumped off a building.

It's right here in this neighborhood, and in their very building.

The couple felt a chill run down their spines as they recalled the footsteps they had just heard.

Someone actually committed suicide, and jumped off their building.

"Don't you know? He was a man with a tragic fate."

"I heard it's because he was insulted by netizens?"

"The people around him don't understand him. I know him; he's raising his little girl alone, it's very hard for him, but he's a good person. Sigh, in the end, it's all about money."

Why do you all look so pale?

When questioned, the couple quickly denied it:

"It's nothing, it's nothing at all."

They still wanted to hide it
The fact that I live on the eighteenth floor.

"Someone died; I wonder if the property values ​​in this neighborhood will be affected."

someone muttered.

"It's hard to say about other things, but the apartment on the 18th floor will definitely be affected."

"I heard that person jumped from the 18th floor, even though his home was on the 7th."

"But you couldn't possibly fall that badly from the seventh floor."

"Oh dear, it's completely unrecognizable."

The couple were terrified.

I don't dare go home to live now.

I'm afraid we'll have to invite a Taoist priest to perform a ritual.

Otherwise, I will always feel uneasy.

This matter was quickly reported in the newspapers.

Lao Liu and Su Xue also quickly released a clarification video.

The video quickly gained popularity after its release, which made Su Xue and her friends both happy and uneasy.

Weird, really weird.

Something unusual must be going on.

There's probably more to the story. Sure enough,
They soon discovered many strange comments in the comments section.

"That's tragic, such a terrible death. The truth had already been cleared up, and he almost did something drastic? People these days are so fragile. Don't always blame netizens for spreading rumors."

"You believe everything netizens say?"

"At your age, don't you even have basic judgment?"

One netizen commented as follows.

Many people expressed their agreement.

"It's ridiculous to blame everything on cyberbullying. We were just saying a few words casually. Does that mean whoever we say should die must die? This is just a way for you to shirk responsibility. Shouldn't the people who posted the video be held accountable? Why are we being made to take the blame now?"

"Weren't our intentions good?"

"Wasn't the photographer deliberately manipulating public opinion to gain traffic?"

This generation of netizens is very good at debating.

The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the woman is reasonable.

Various interpretations have emerged.

Faced with this situation, Su Xue and Liu Qing turned pale.

They had never experienced anything like this before, nor did they expect that a video released for attention would have such consequences. Had they gone too far?
This is what is known as traffic backlash.

"You can't say that; at the very least, you all bear some responsibility."

"No snowflake is innocent in an avalanche. Your excuses are just ridiculous. The person is already dead, what's the point of saying all this? Perhaps some of you are secretly relieved, since this can't be traced back to keyboard warriors." As I was reading, the comment section suddenly disappeared.

"What happened? I can't see it?"

The sixth brother hurriedly asked.

"Are they telling the truth? Did he really jump off a building?"

"I'm an indirect murderer; it's all my fault for doing what I did."

"It's all my fault, I'm a sinner."

The sixth brother is on the verge of collapse.

But it was too late to turn the tide.

If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. Now it's too late to undo the damage.

There is no resurrection after death.

I heard he jumped from the 18th floor.

"The account was banned, and the videos were taken down, probably because the impact was too negative."

It took Su Xue a while to come to her senses, and she murmured.

The negative impact was so great that it led to the ban, which is understandable.

But he didn't understand why the other person was in such a hurry to jump off the building.

Is it really necessary? He doesn't think he did anything wrong.

At least the other party did have something to do wrong. Lao Liu helped him so much, but he stood by and did nothing at the crucial moment. Shouldn't he be condemned? Can this kind of behavior be tolerated?
It's too late to say anything now.

……

Sometimes despair can have a chain reaction.

Cyberbullying can also trigger a butterfly effect.

The sixth brother, who was initially protected by everyone, has now become the new target of cyberbullying.

Everyone blames him for causing the death of a single mother.

But can we really blame him entirely for this?
"Haha, speechless. This old man ruined a family."

"You can even post videos? There aren't many clean people on the internet."

"I suspected this driver was suspicious all along, and I was right."

Many netizens pointed the finger at Lao Liu.

However, some rational netizens still questioned:

"Weren't you the loudest shouters before? Why have you turned your guns on us now?"

"Don't you guys think this is ridiculous? I'm dying of laughter."

When turbidity becomes the norm
Being sober has become a sin.

"Why don't you just die upstairs?"

"Exactly, I see hermaphrodites like you everywhere."

"I hate you sarcastic idiots the most."

The comments section was a mixed bag, with everyone showing off their unique talents.

That night,

The sixth brother also went up to the rooftop.

Without hesitation, he jumped.

He was convinced of his grave sins. Moreover, the balcony he chose happened to face the spot where the single mother had jumped to her death.

"I am guilty."

"You are sinful; you should not be alive."

"Jump! With one leap... all past sins will be washed away."

"Jump, and you will regain your innocence."

……

The chaotic, seductive voices echoed in my mind.

The sixth brother felt deeply guilty and kept muttering to himself.

“I must atone for my sins.”

“I must atone for my sins.”

He repeated it over and over.

He eventually jumped from the high-rise building.

Life ended there, cleanly and decisively.

Even though it's the same 18th floor, there's absolutely no chance of survival from falling from that height.

He could have been pronounced dead on the spot, since he was already completely mangled from the fall.

The most unfortunate were the residents on the 18th floor, who were left with deep psychological trauma from the incident. They felt a chill run down their spines and sensed an inexplicable eeriness emanating from the apartment.

"Honey, look over there! Isn't that a figure? Am I seeing things? It looks like there really is someone." The woman kept tugging at her husband's clothes. (End of Chapter)
