Chapter 796: Does the pillar of the human world exist?

For the control bureau at that time, this was not just a rumor, but an extremely serious leak. Therefore, the control bureau's attitude towards this rumor was suddenly raised to several levels, and a large number of personnel were sent to find the anonymous user.

As a result, they found it, and the truth was revealed after various interrogations. It was that this anonymous user knew by chance that there was such a monster sealed in the seams of the earth, and it happened that someone spread rumors about the pillars of the world at that time, so he made up such a lie in order to cheat money.

As for his theory about the edge of the world, it was not explored by their sect at all. In fact, this anonymous user is a lone ranger and there is no so-called sect at all. Or it could be said that he is the only one left in their sect. He inherited a bunch of messy classics, and all the content about the edge of the world was copied by him from the classics.

This guy is just a second-level psychic who can cure acne, and he published that article just to make money.

Although this idea was a bit naive, it was true that within just a few days after he published the article, many people found him through Dream Network and said they wanted to invest in their sect's earth research, and the total amount of funds had reached 20 million US dollars.

In order to clarify everything, the Control Bureau asked this guy to broadcast live on Dream Network and honestly explain what he had done. However, this live broadcast backfired, and more people felt that there really were pillars of the world, and that this user's clarification live broadcast was just a show planned by the Control Bureau to maintain confidentiality.

Since then, many inferences and analyses have appeared on the Internet, some of which are outrageous, while others seem reasonable at first glance. Gradually, the Pillar of the World has been tacitly accepted as a position of existence. For a long time, all inexplicable events related to the Control Bureau were blamed on the Pillar of the World.

In this farce, the leaked sea urchin octopus became known to the world, so much so that the regulatory agency had to significantly increase the blockade and control of the mysterious canyon, and for this reason, the annual resource consumption on this project had to increase tenfold.

Xia Shou clicked on the details link. It was originally a top-secret file, but after that leak, part of it has been made public.

Sea Urchin Octopus is a nickname given by an anonymous user, but in official archive files, it is called [Heart of the Split King]. The name comes from an ancient book, in which the description of [Heart of the Split King] is highly consistent with the entity, hence the name.

But because the ancient texts themselves are incomplete, no one knows the meaning behind the name.

The anomaly level of this anomaly is EX level, and what it does is to continuously cut the flesh and tendons at the seams of the earth, allowing the earth to return from the shape of a Möbius strip to a flat shape, but this is just speculation.

Although the flesh tendons at the seams of the earth can be filled in through a variety of methods, due to the extremely efficient cutting of the Heart of the Rift King, the seams are becoming more and more unreliable every year, so the Control Bureau has tried a variety of methods to seal the Heart of the Rift King.

Many EX-level rituals and sealed items failed, but they finally succeeded.

Of course, this success has nothing to do with the fabricated pillars of the human world.

Xia Shou read the origin of the rumor, and at the end of the document, he also saw the concerns of the Control Bureau.

Because the vitality of this rumor was so tenacious, its spread so quickly, and its duration so long, it far exceeded the initial estimates of the Control Bureau. Today, twenty years later, the Pillar of the World has even become a fixed topic of debate, with both sides having equally powerful supporters.

Just like Taoism's cultivation of immortals in the secular world, even though the upper echelons have been promoting atheism, there are still a large number of believers in gods and ghosts, which is surprisingly similar to the human pillars of the Control Bureau.

Even within the Control Bureau, a considerable proportion of people believe in the existence of the Human Pillar. In formal occasions, all employees will deny the Human Pillar, but if it is discussed privately, there are still a considerable number of members who believe that the Human Pillar exists, but the organization needs to conceal it.

And... there are so many people pretending to be pillars of the world.

After reading this information and thinking back to the mysterious woman with the old man's plaster on her head, Xia Shou suddenly felt that the other party's background might not be as big as he thought at the beginning, and maybe she was just bluffing.

Maybe he is just a person who is trying to take advantage of a little rare information.

"Never mind her, let's just leave it at that." Xia Shou still had a bunch of skills to integrate and a lot of costs to pay, so he didn't have the energy to focus on these uncertain and hopeless puzzles.

However, out of curiosity, he still opened the department group chat and asked a question: [How many people know about the Pillars of the World? ]

Li Ming: [What is the pillar of the world? ]

Baihe: [This is a classic rumor, but it’s hard to say whether it’s a rumor or not now.]

Kirigakure Goro: [It's not a rumor! Of course, we can only say it's a rumor on the surface, but the pillar of the human world does exist. However, after it was exposed, the name may have been changed.]

Mo Ying: [I have nothing to do, anyone want to go out for dinner? @Xia Shou @Su Yue @Bai He @Li Ming @Jiang Wen Gao @Ke Hen, come out and play, there is a new haunted house in the city center, I used supernatural powers before dinner, do you want to go together? ]

Kirigakure Goro: [Why didn't Sister Ying call me? ]

Mo Ying: [Aren’t you going to work overtime? ]

People in the group popped up one after another, and the atmosphere was more active than ever. It was obvious that the rare collective holiday put everyone in a good mood.

As for the topic of the pillars of the world, no one discussed it soon, and Xia Shou keenly discovered that Xiao Gao, who had been silent when talking about the pillars of the world, suddenly started to talk when they talked about going out for dinner.

Although it might be a coincidence, Jiang Wengao told him some secrets during the Battle of Divine Law. Maybe he would know something about the Pillar of the Human World this time. Xia Shou decided to ask him privately when he had time.

Everyone in the group made an appointment to go out for dinner. Mo Ying @ed everyone, even Shangguan Yan individually, but he was unable to @ Su Weiyu.

In order to take Su Weiyu's feelings into consideration, Xia Shou sent her a message.

When Xia Shou invited Su Weiyu to go out for dinner, a new message suddenly came in, and the sender was - Yun Xiao!
"What is Xiaoyue doing?"

Xia Shou frowned, opened the chat box with confusion and a little dangerous expectation.

What the other party sent was not text, but a distant photo of the Su family's residence.

"What does this mean?" Xia Shou enlarged the photo in confusion, feeling that there was nothing strange about it.

But soon, Su Yue sent the first sentence using Yun Xiao's account.

Yun Xiao: [Is this where Xiaoyue lives? How cute must she be to make you so obsessed? I really want to meet her~]

Xia Shou covered his eyes, not daring to look directly at the text. He felt goose bumps all over his body due to embarrassment.

Damn it, what does this girl want to do? Is she trying to threaten him with Yun Xiao's identity?
