Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 139: Influence Expands (4000 words, there will be another update later)
The speed of network communication is still very fast.

Especially after everyone in the world suffers from "insomnia", short videos with words such as "hypnosis" are more likely to attract traffic.

So not long after Xie Shen’s video was released, the number of views had risen to more than 100,000.

Looking at the data displayed on the account, Peng Ji said excitedly: "Oh my god, this traffic comes too easily."

"It's only been less than ten minutes since we posted our video, and it has already received over 10,000 likes."

“There are more than 2000 comments.”

Having said that, Peng Ji clicked on the comments.

The content is mainly questioning and insulting:

[It's just a script prepared in advance. No one really believes in hypnosis, right? ]

[The up master also eats this kind of traffic, and the whole family is living. 】

[Dare to commit crimes in such a sensitive period, just wait for your account to be blocked! ]

Peng Ji was unhappy when he saw the above remarks.

He frowned and said, "This won't work. Why are there so many trolls under the video?"

"Tong Tao, let's quickly shoot another video to prove our identity."

"No no no."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly changed his tone and said, "Videos are too unconvincing, let's just do a live broadcast to prove it ourselves!"

Are you going to start live broadcast?
This is also a way to expand influence.

Thinking of this, Xie Shen nodded and agreed to the proposal.

——Due to the previous video as a traffic source, as soon as Xie Shen started the live broadcast, viewers immediately swarmed into the live broadcast room.

Barrage comments began to appear on the screen one after another:
[Anchor, are you serious? ]

[I, Qin Shi Huang, send you money! ]

[I am identified as a pure clown, don't mute me if you dare! ]

...

At the same time.

Quiet Morning Star, inside an underground military base.

A white-haired old man looked at Xie Shen and Peng Ji in the live broadcast room through the mobile phone screen, frowned and remained silent.

Seeing this, the guard at the side hurriedly asked cautiously, "Mr. Zhu, do you need me to call and have someone shut down his live broadcast room?"

"No hurry." The old man called Zhu Lao waved his hand and said calmly: "Xiao Chen, your biggest shortcoming now is that you do things too hastily."

“Sometimes, it’s not a bad thing to slow down a little bit.”

"Let's watch this guy's live broadcast again."

"If he is really playing tricks, it won't be too late to have someone stop him."

...

Doing live broadcasts requires lowering your posture and communicating with strangers.

Regarding this, it is naturally difficult for Xie Shen, who has always been in a high position, to do so.

Therefore, the pace of this live broadcast was led by Peng Ji, who was responsible for communicating with the audience.

He raised his phone and pointed the camera at himself.

"Brothers, stop talking nonsense."

"Didn't someone just leave a comment under my video questioning me?"

"Well, I will start proving myself now."

"I'll go out to the street later, and then you can choose."

He continued: "Whoever you viewers choose, I will pull that person and bring him to the store to hypnotize him."

"You can believe it now, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, countless barrages of comments floated through the live broadcast room.

Although there are fewer insults and doubts this time compared to before, most people are still taking a wait-and-see and skeptical attitude.

【666】

[It is estimated that the host has a high probability of finding someone to help him, and the script will start again in a while. 】

[This is not a script, I will eat it directly! ]

Peng Ji ignored the insults in the barrage.

He walked straight to the street, pointed at a passerby and said, "Brothers, is that guy okay?"

"Deduct 1 for yes, deduct 2 for no."

The passerby that Peng Ji was referring to was a middle-aged man.

Out of a mentality of watching the fun and making a fuss, no matter whether this uncle is a shill or not, the audience in the live broadcast room will think that he is.

As a result, the comments immediately became surprisingly consistent, and the number '2' was pressed crazily.

"No, right?"

Seeing that the audience was dissatisfied, Peng Ji pointed to another person and asked, "What about that person? How about that woman?"

【22222】

Still, the audience refused.

But soon.

Also out of the desire to watch the fun, after rejecting a total of 5 passers-by, some of the audience finally became a little impatient.

He started to dial the number '1' in the live broadcast room.

Peng Ji saw this and pointed at the person he had just chosen and said, "Okay, that's him."

Judging from the passerby's attire, he is most likely an office worker.

He had dark circles under his eyes and looked extremely tired, obviously from being under too much stress and not getting enough rest.

Peng Ji took the initiative to move forward and said to him directly: "Brother, do you want to sleep?"

"Ah?" The office worker was stunned when he heard this and said, "Isn't that nonsense? Of course I do."

"Then come to my shop and I'll make you fall asleep in minutes."

Peng Ji shook his phone and said, "See? When I was broadcasting live, the people in my live studio didn't believe that I could hypnotize others, so I thought of picking a random passerby on the street to prove it, and then I chose you."

"How about it? Can you cooperate?"

The office worker looked alert.

Peng Ji quickly added, "If I lied to you, if I took even half a cent from you, I'm your son!"

Since Peng Ji said so, and the office worker also really wanted to have a good sleep.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, where is your store?"

Peng Ji was delighted when he heard this and said, "It's on my left hand side."

Having said that, he forcibly pulled the office worker into the store.

While walking, he did not forget to confirm with the office worker: "That's right."

"Before I hypnotize you, I have to ask the viewers in the live broadcast room."

"By the way, you're not my hired help, right?"

"Isn't that nonsense?" The office worker said without thinking, "If I were your hired help, I would be hit by a car when I go out. Is that okay?"

"Hey, there's no need to swear." Peng Ji smiled and pointed to a single bed in the store and said, "Come on, lie down here, and I'll let my master hypnotize you on the spot."

With half curiosity and half vigilance, the office worker lay down on the single bed as he was told.

He urged, "I'm lying down, can we start?"

Peng Ji didn't say anything, but just glanced at Xie Shen beside him.

The latter understood his meaning, and immediately silently activated the spiritual power in his body, and pointed at various acupuncture points on the office worker's body with his fingers.

"You guys"

Seeing Xie Shen's actions, the office worker opened his mouth and was about to say something.

But as soon as he said this, he felt a wave of sleepiness coming over him like a tide.

Then, he tilted his head and fell asleep.

——Because they had not slept for too long, office workers fell into deep sleep in less than a few seconds.

All the muscles in his body collapsed due to relaxation.

The collapsed muscles blocked the airway, and soon bursts of snoring came from the office workers' nasal cavities.

This scene made all the audience in the live broadcast room explode. [Is this true? Is that person also a fake? ]

[This guy can actually hypnotize people? Why don’t you promote it quickly, or someone will die in a few days.]

Maybe I feel this is not convincing enough.

After hypnotizing the office worker, Peng Ji did the same thing again and pulled another young girl from the street into the store.

Similarly.

When Xie Shen activated the spiritual power in his body and tapped the acupuncture points all over the girl's body, the girl immediately fell into a deep sleep.

The only difference is.

Because the girl has a slim body, her muscles don't press on her respiratory tract, so she doesn't snore even when she is in deep sleep.

Her sleeping posture is relatively more elegant.

So, after hypnotizing two people in succession, the audience in the live broadcast room felt even more incredible.

At this point, more than 70% of the audience believed that Xie Shen possessed the ability to hypnotize.

Seeing that the momentum had been building, Peng Ji took the opportunity to say, "Our hypnosis shop is located on Street 009 in Xinxue City. Come quickly if you want to!"

After saying this, he decisively turned off the live broadcast room.

As a partner, the owner of the foot massage shop was puzzled and asked: "Why did you suddenly turn off the live broadcast?"

"I saw that the popularity of the live broadcast room has increased to nearly 200 million."

"If you broadcast it longer, I'm afraid it will be no problem to reach 1000 million viewers."

"This is all traffic, don't you want it?"

"Traffic?" Peng Ji said speechlessly: "I think you really want money over life."

"If we really attract too many people to our store, the situation will definitely get out of control."

"I started the live broadcast just to attract the attention of the people above me."

"At the same time, high exposure can also ensure that our own safety is protected after we are being noticed."

"To attract the attention of the higher-ups?" The owner of the foot bath shop always believed that Peng Ji did all this just to make money.

But I didn't expect the other party to have such a purpose.

He was stunned and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Of course I plan to save the world." Peng Ji said without hesitation: "What else?"

"Now everyone in the world is suffering from insomnia, and you just happen to have the ability to hypnotize others."

"So, you're not just thinking about making money, are you?"

After hearing this, the owner of the foot massage shop frowned, as if he wanted to say something else.

But Peng Ji added at the end: "Don't worry, when the higher-ups pay attention to us, you will definitely get some benefits."

"After all, you helped a little in the process."

"I definitely keep my word!"

Hearing that there were benefits to be gained, the owner of the foot massage shop couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I'm fine!"

...

It wasn't just the viewers in Xie Shen's live broadcast room who were shocked.

Inside the underground military base.

The old man surnamed Zhu, who witnessed the entire hypnosis process, said to the guard beside him without hesitation: "Xiao Chen, help me prepare the helicopter immediately. I want to go to Xinxue City to meet the hypnotist."

"Yes!"

Guard Chen didn't have any nonsense.

After he responded, he trotted away as ordered to prepare the helicopter.

...

Although Peng Ji had closed the live broadcast room in advance.

But the news quickly spread among the crowd, and in the next half hour, people began to visit Xie Shen's store one after another.

Xie Shen never turned away any of these customers.

Time passed by minute by minute.

As more and more customers came to the store, the single beds soon became insufficient, and the customers were all in a hurry to fall asleep.

So some people ignored their image and simply lay on the ground, letting Xie Shen hypnotize them.

In just a short while, the store was filled with guests lying in deep sleep.

In the end, even the street outside the store was filled with sleeping customers.

Seeing that more and more people were coming into the store and the situation was likely to get out of control at any time, Peng Ji, who had never encountered such a situation before, became a little anxious.

With a gloomy face, he asked for help from Xie Shen who was busy, "What should we do now?"

"Although I guessed that many people would come, I really didn't expect so many to come, and they would come so quickly!"

"Why haven't the superiors come yet?"

"If this continues, the situation could really get out of control."

on the street.

After hypnotizing who knows how many people, Xie Shen suddenly looked up at the sky.

He said meaningfully: "The people from above are coming."

"Here?" Peng Ji looked around and asked anxiously, "Where is he?"

Xie Shen was still looking at the sky.

He stared at her and said, "In the sky."

It was as if to confirm what Xie Shen said.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present heard a series of "thump thump thump" sounds of propellers coming from high in the sky.

As the sound rang out, more than a dozen soldiers in camouflage uniforms descended from the air along the tow rope.

They politely said to the passers-by around them: "Please make way, everyone, and move out!"

Seeing that the officials had come forward, passers-by were also very respectful.

They all stepped back a little and left a large open space for Xie Shen, Peng Ji and the soldiers.

After a few seconds.

Another white-haired old man was seen slowly climbing down the helicopter along the rope ladder.

The old man looked at Xie Shen and Peng Ji for a few seconds.

Although Peng Ji pretended to be calm, a hint of nervousness could be clearly seen from his facial expression and posture.

As for Xie Shen
Having seen all kinds of storms, he remained calm and composed in such occasions.

This performance made the old man look admiring.

He introduced himself: "My last name is Zhu, you can call me Mr. Zhu."

"I watched your live broadcast just now."

"I'm only going to ask you one question now. Tell me honestly: Is your hypnosis real?"

"Guaranteed!" Xie Shen answered firmly.

Mr. Zhu didn't say much, he just glanced at a soldier beside him and said, "Hypnotize him in front of me."

After hearing these words, the soldier immediately came to Xie Shen.

And Xie Shen didn't say much nonsense.

He sat cross-legged on the ground.

After recovering a little bit of spiritual power, he put his fingers together and tapped several acupuncture points on the soldier's body.

next second.

The soldier stumbled over, and without saying a word, he lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

Being able to hypnotize all the soldiers he brought with him, Zhu Lao now completely believed that Xie Shen was a man of real ability.

He said with a pleasant face: "Given the current situation, I believe there is no need for me to explain anything further."

"The country needs you now."

"Cooperate with us and come with us."
