Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

The official intervention swiftly escalated the nature of the incident.

This also made many ordinary netizens who were originally just bystanders truly realize the seriousness of the problem.

The focus of the discussion quickly shifted from whether or not it should be addressed to how deep the harm was.

"I kept thinking about it and something felt off, so I went to check my younger sister's phone, who's in middle school... She really does have those hellish novels on her bookshelf!"

I asked her to delete it, and she actually talked back to me, saying things like, "You don't understand, this is art, you're persecuting niche culture!" I was so angry I gave her a proper lecture, like a legitimate eldest son!

"This is terrifying... This kind of mind invasion is subtle and gradual."

As a grown man in my thirties, I was so disgusted by those screenshots and descriptions that I threw up my lunch. What would teenagers, whose values ​​aren't fully formed yet, think after seeing that?

"These authors are definitely problematic! What kind of normal mentality can someone have to write this kind of stuff? They're probably being paid by some foreign powers to poison the minds of our youth!"

Fun fact: Jingjiang was one of the platforms that was most severely investigated and had the most authors punished during the internet cleanup campaign back then.

It seems they've forgotten the pain once the wound has healed, or... the root of the problem was never truly healed.

"I'm terrified, truly terrified. Thankfully, Everbright has a large influence and stood up. Otherwise, if these cancers had continued to spread under the guise of creative freedom, harming the next generation, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"I also want to thank the authors and readers who were the first to discover the problems, persisted in reporting them, and were subsequently subjected to cyberbullying."

Without their arduous evidence collection and persistent advocacy in the early stages, it might have been difficult for Everbright to obtain such conclusive materials so quickly.

They are the true unsung heroes.

The incident did not subside after the official characterization of the incident; instead, it fermented and spread even more rapidly.

Mainstream media outlets followed up with reports, and education experts, psychologists, and legal scholars spoke out one after another, analyzing its harms.

A combined force from top to bottom and bottom to top is forming.

City A Public Security Bureau, Cyber ​​Security Supervision Detachment.

A conference room was temporarily converted into the command center for the "Jingjiang Platform Project".

The large screen scrolled through more materials obtained from Yang Qian and those subsequently urgently retrieved.

The figures in uniforms hurried along, with the sounds of telephones ringing and keyboards clicking incessantly.

"The materials have been submitted to the provincial department and higher-level cyberspace administration and publicity departments through internal encrypted channels."

A middle-aged police officer put down the phone and reported to the head of the task force.

The person in charge nodded, his gaze falling on a newly printed document with a red annotation column.

In the comments section was a line of strong, vigorous handwriting in fountain pen.

"The situation is true, and the nature of the crime is egregious. We must take swift and decisive action to resolutely crack down on this poison and eliminate it, so as to set the record straight."

The final signature is that of a person with the compound surname Zhuge, along with a clear seal indicating the provincial-level leadership position.

This is not just a document, but a powerful tool.

Almost simultaneously.

The Communist Youth League of China, Huaxia Anti-Cult Association, and the Cyberspace Administration of China, three official accounts, simultaneously issued a joint statement.

[Central Communist Youth League V]:

"The internet is not a lawless zone, and cultural creation should have a bottom line."

In response to recent online reports of extreme content on the Jingjiang Novel Platform, relevant departments have attached great importance to the matter and will handle it seriously in accordance with laws and regulations.

We firmly oppose any form of anti-human or anti-social content and resolutely uphold the core socialist values.

@Land of Light Animation Studio - Hikaru's righteous voice deserves recognition.

[Huaxia Anti-Cult V]:

"Freedom of creation is never freedom to do evil. Those voices that try to whitewash extreme content by using cultural diversity are themselves a desecration of culture."

We will closely monitor the progress of this matter and cooperate with relevant departments to crack down on illegal and criminal activities in accordance with the law.

[Cyberspace Administration of China Reporting Center]:

We welcome all internet users to actively report illegal and irregular information. The reporting website is: [website address missing]

Three major official titles were introduced simultaneously.

The wind direction has completely reversed.

"Holy crap! A joint statement from three departments! That's incredibly high-level!"

"A thorough investigation and the maximum penalty... Jingjiang has really kicked a hornet's nest this time, no, it's run into a tank!"

"Haha, where's that vice president from Jingjiang who was making sarcastic remarks on Weibo about being tolerant and wary of a culture of whistleblowing? Come out and show yourself!"

Netizens quickly flocked to the vice president's Weibo account.

However, it was discovered that just minutes before the joint statement was released, this person had already swiftly deleted all of their recent related Weibo posts.

They even set their accounts to "only display Weibo posts from the last six months".

But the internet has a memory.

The screenshots have already circulated in various group chats.

"A vice president: Creative freedom is a fundamental right, and the platform respects diversity."

"A vice president stated: Some users are overinterpreting the situation; the platform will not comment."

"A vice president said: We believe the author's original intention was benevolent."

Now, these comments are filled with sarcastic replies.

"Kindness? You call writing a two-year-old child as a pig kindness?"

"Respect diversity? You're respecting a kind of inhumane diversity, aren't you?"

"Where's the vice president? Come out for a walk?"

"Deleted your post? Don't delete it! Let everyone see your creative freedom!"

"Now you're scared? Too late!"

"I suggest investigating this vice president to see if he has any dealings with those extremist authors, including any financial dealings or other shady dealings!"

18 p.m. that evening.

The homepage of the Jingjiang Novel Website displays an announcement.

Dear users:

Due to platform system upgrades and maintenance, new user registration is suspended starting today, and some works are temporarily unavailable for reading due to content review requirements.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Many reader QQ groups and WeChat groups created around these hellish articles were forcibly disbanded or banned on a large scale after being monitored by the platform.

The comment section below the announcement has exploded.

"System upgrade? They must have gone in for tea?"

"Some works are unreadable? Are the anti-human content being blocked?"

"Finally, they've made their move! That's so satisfying!"

"Jingjiang, you've finally met your match!"

And what are the authors of those extreme novels going through right now?

A certain city, a certain residential community.

An author with the online name "Dark Night Rose" is sitting in front of her computer, frantically deleting drafts.

Her hands were trembling uncontrollably.

"It's over... it's over..."

My phone suddenly rang.

Caller ID: Local Police.

She was stunned.

I dare not answer.

The phone rang for thirty seconds and then automatically hung up.

Then, a text message came in.

[Hello, this is XX Police. You are suspected of disseminating illegal information on an online platform. Please bring your ID to the nearest police station to file a report within 3 days.]

She looked at the text message.

His face was deathly pale.
