America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day
Chapter 58 The Indians, Part 5: Prophecy, Two Great Fires
That reporter was just asking a casual question; I never expected him to reveal such explosive news.
Let's leave aside this matter of the Xuan Niao Sect for now.
According to this prophet, 50 Americans will die or be displaced in the future.
This is definitely a big deal.
Other reporters also realized what was happening and began asking questions.
"Prophet, is what you say true?"
"Prophet, this is no laughing matter."
"Prophet, could you tell me the exact time?"
Whether it's true or false, this kind of news, once reported, will definitely attract a lot of attention.
Although the concept of "traffic" didn't exist at that time, all journalists and newspapers understood that they needed more eye-catching news to attract attention, sell more, and earn more money.
So the reporters didn't care whether it was true or false; they just hoped to get firsthand information from this opportunity.
But the people in America didn't look too happy.
They just wanted to use the prophet for a show, but they didn't expect the prophet to pull this stunt.
They don't believe in prophets who can actually predict the future.
But since things had already come to this point, they wanted to see if the prophet really had such abilities.
If they truly possess such abilities, they should change their views and attitudes towards prophets.
Therefore, when faced with questions from reporters, they all remained on the sidelines, waiting for the prophet's answer.
Seeing their reaction, Li Changsheng smiled inwardly, raised his hand to quiet everyone down, and then spoke.
"On October 8th, there will be two fires around Dashui Lake. One wildfire will kill tens of thousands of people, and the other fire will start in a densely populated area. If it cannot be controlled in time, it will also kill tens of thousands of people and displace hundreds of thousands of people."
"If you have a map, I can mark the approximate location, but I don't know the exact location."
"If you're willing to trust me, then be prepared at the locations I've marked."
"While it may not be possible to completely extinguish these two fires, it can at least reduce casualties and allow for advance preparations, preventing hundreds of thousands of people from being displaced."
"The Black Bird's final instruction to me was that future buildings would primarily use steel structures, so there would be no need to worry about fires spreading."
"As for whether the conditions are truly right or not, I don't know; you can investigate it yourselves."
He turned to look at the staff.
"Is the treaty regarding the Montenegrin territory ready? After the treaty is signed, I should take a break for a while."
The staff member produced a contract and a map at the same time.
Li Changsheng found the locations of the two fires in his memory and drew circles on the two large areas.
"I only know that it's in these two places, but I have no way of knowing exactly where it started. You'll have to take precautions yourselves."
After signing the contract, he left with the land ownership certificate.
With the departure of the prophet's avatar, major American newspapers reported on today's grand occasion.
Some people also found the two places drawn by the prophet based on the maps of that time.
"A place that is mostly forested is a place where wildfires break out."
"Another place is the fire that happened in the city, and the largest city in the area drawn by the prophet is Chicago. A fire that could affect about 50 people must have happened in Chicago."
The location was quickly decided, but were they still hesitant about whether to trust these people?
Just as they were hesitating, the Chinese American Daily reported a breaking news story.
The latest news from the Chinese American Daily News features a front-page headline about a prophet from the island nation, Wu Tiao Yi Ji, making arrogant remarks.
"I heard that a prophet named Xuan Niao has appeared in America, who, like me, possesses the ability to foresee the future."
"To be honest, I didn't believe it at first, but after hearing his two prophecies and begging for instructions from the Three Pure Ones, I realized that this prophet of yours in America does have some ability."
"His prediction was correct."
"However, the Xuan Niao Sect he believes in is no match for our Three Pure Ones."
"I have already learned from the Three Pure Ones that the Xuan Niao Sect was founded by the mount of one of the Three Pure Ones' disciples."
"In the final analysis, it is also a branch of the Three Pure Ones and the Three Teachings."
"Although I have some ability, I am no match for the three patriarchs."
"He can only predict when and in which area everyone will appear."
"And I even foresaw this loss."
"The two fires cost the United States at least $500 million."
"At the same time, I can also predict more things. Also in October, a large-scale brawl will break out in California, with no fewer than 100 dead and injured, and the impact will be extremely bad."
"Prophet, aren't you able to foresee the future? Can you predict more than I can?"
Provocation, blatant provocation.
However, this news has attracted the attention of many people in the United States.
Unfortunately, this prophet has only just appeared, and no one knows whether he can actually foresee the future.
The five 100s are different.
He has already proven his prediction to be correct through his language skills.
In other words, two major fires will indeed break out in the United States, resulting in over 10,000 deaths, affecting 500,000 people, and causing losses of 500 million US dollars.
This is definitely not a trivial matter.
Relatively speaking, a brawl that results in a hundred or eighty deaths is not that attention-grabbing.
However, there is still a long time until October.
Everyone is eagerly awaiting that day, wondering if the prophecy will come true.
For ordinary citizens, however, the Chicago council members are facing a real headache.
They did not take the prophet's words seriously.
When the five roosters were mentioned, they panicked.
The fact that both prophets said this suggests that the event is highly likely to be true.
If this is true, the loss would be enormous.
If they don't prepare in advance, none of the people present will fare well.
After some discussion, they decided to make preparations in advance and request resources from higher authorities, otherwise they feared it would be too late if something really went wrong.
Li Changsheng didn't care about their specific actions.
The only thing Li Changsheng did was to place two clones in these two locations, so that if the fire didn't break out, he could personally set it on fire.
Sacrificing the two prophet clones is worthwhile in order for them to establish their personas.
These two clones are there to prevent accidents.
As for Li Changsheng himself, before leaving, he had already summoned a white clone for the prophet to teach the prophet to speak English.
Just as Li Changsheng was about to continue his research after returning to his body, he was interrupted once again.
