If you leave Anping City and go to any city across the country, pick ten passers-by from the street and ask questions.
"Do you know what a monster is?"
At this time, there is a high probability that ten passers-by will nod to show their understanding, and some of them can even say a lot of words to the questioner.
but.
If you ask ten passers-by.
"Do you know what an elf is?"
Not all but at least half of these passers-by would have a blank look on their faces, and those who reacted quickly might ask in reply.
"Are you referring to those creatures in Western mythology with pointed ears, holding bows and arrows, blond hair and blue eyes, and a family of handsome men and beautiful women?"
This is inherent knowledge.
Ever since creatures like Pokémon came to this world, humans on this planet have long been accustomed to calling them monsters, or monsters.
As for the word 'elf' proposed by Chen Mo, it is actually only spread within a small range.
Even Chen Mo's fans outside Anping City mostly use the word "Warcraft" in their daily lives and when communicating with others.
In fact, even the officialdom is no exception to this point. In a sense, the officialdom is the most important reason why the word 'Warcraft' can be quickly unified across the country.
However.
Just one day in early May.
Many people across the country were surprised to find that the host in the news report suddenly used the word "elf" when reporting on the "Warcraft" incident.
Immediately afterwards.
Someone else discovered that the name of the Warcraft Research and Countermeasures Bureau, an official organization that has attracted the most attention across the country since the invasion of Warcraft, has also been changed.
Now the relevant announcement has been given on the official website of the Countermeasures Bureau, and its name has been officially changed to the 'Elf Research Countermeasures Bureau'.
Combined with the previous incident in Anping City, people across the country have realized one thing.
Things are going to change.
Elf House Chat Group.
【Oh no! Brothers, something big has happened! 】
[We are all adults and have very busy schedules. Please don’t talk about things that are not trivial. Thank you for your cooperation. 】
[Do you want to say that Hongjingpo Forest has been officially blocked? 】
[Oh oh oh, um, I know that Hongjingpo Forest is currently establishing a planning area. After a while, we can go to Hongjingpo Forest to conquer the elves under official protection. 】
[Isn’t this a good thing? 】
[I heard that after the Hongjingpo Forest Planning Area is completed, it will be open to the whole country. This time it is not exclusive to Anping City. 】
【Great! In fact, the last time Brother Hui and the others went to Hongjingpo Forest, I wanted to go with them, but I was always worried about safety issues, so I finally gave up. This time with official information, I feel a little more relieved. Have you made an appointment? Wave? 】
[Wait a minute, I’m not talking about the Hongjingpo Forest. I’m not sure about the details. You can read this post. 】
A link follows immediately below.
The young man with a flat head who was staying at home and watching the chat group diving and fishing directly clicked in, and what caught his eye was a line of eye-catching titles.
"Science Fairy!" ? Really raped! 》
"More than a month ago, there was an anchor on Xiaopo Station who was called 'Mo Bao' by fans. He suddenly changed his career from outdoor anchoring."
"The effect of changing careers is very good. In just over a month, this Mo Bao, a small anchor with less than 100,000 followers and usually only 10,000 to 20,000 hits when he started broadcasting, has transformed into a small anchor station. Zhuzhu has gained fans at an exaggerated rate and currently has millions of fans. Every time it is broadcast, no matter what content it is live broadcast, it will reach the top of Xiaopo Station’s popularity list in a short period of time.”
"And this makes people want to ask, what exactly did this Mo Bao change his career, and what kind of magic power does he have that makes everyone so crazy?"
"First of all, I would like to ask you a question: In today's era, what topic is the most concerned about by people around the world?"
"Yes, it's a monster."
"This Mo Bao, in this era of the invasion of Warcraft, changed his career and became a science popularization anchor, and the object of science popularization is Warcraft!"
"Of course, if this Mo Bao just educates us about the dangers of Warcraft and how terrifying they are, then forget it."
"But I never thought that this Mo Bao would actually do the opposite. Popular science monsters are harmless to us humans."
"hehe."
"Since the invasion of Warcraft, I don't know how many countries have suffered, and I don't know how many human beings have been destroyed by the attacks of Warcraft."
"If nothing else, just take the situation in my family as an example."
"I have a second uncle who is a forest policeman."
"Last winter, my second uncle and several colleagues went on a daily inspection mission, and were suddenly attacked by monsters. Several colleagues were killed on the spot. Only my second uncle was lucky enough to survive, but he also broke one of his legs. .”
"I know some people will talk about the 'Bada Butterfly Incident' that happened in Mo Bao's live broadcast room, but I heard from my second uncle that they didn't do anything at that time, they were just walking in the patrolling forest, and suddenly We were attacked by a monster."
"With my second uncle's identity and the qualities he has shown over the years, I believe he will not lie. At the end of the post, I will also include my second uncle's work experience in the unit and the comments of the neighbors. , you can decide for yourself.”
"Get back to the point."
"Warcraft is harmless? Is this what a person can say!?"
"No, no, no, this is no longer a human being. I think this Mo Bao should be considered a traitor!"
"Every bloody tragedy tells us one thing. Warcraft cannot coexist with humans. They are natural and unteachable beasts. Between such creatures and us humans, there is only death and death." It’s impossible to coexist!”
"And you know, what I can't understand the most is the official approach."
"Not only is this an anchor like Death Bao, but he is also promoting it vigorously?"
"After my second uncle heard what happened in Anping City, he now stays at home all day long. Family members often call him, but he doesn't respond at all. He just stares blankly at the police badge he once wore."
"I understand what my second uncle is thinking. His faith is gone. He once believed in the official so much, but the official gave my second uncle such an answer that he was least willing to accept."
"When are we going to become friends with a group of murderers? Live in the same city with them?"
"I can't understand it! I really can't understand it!"
"This is a terrible world, a world that is completely broken and is about to die!"
"Oh, by the way, I wonder if you all know that yesterday the Warcraft Research and Countermeasures Bureau was renamed the Elf Research and Countermeasures Bureau."
"In fact, the name Elf was first proposed by this 'Mo Bao'."
"..."
At the bottom of the post, the young man with a flat head saw that the poster had posted a photo of his second uncle, as well as a video, which was full of regrets for his second uncle and praise for his usual behavior.
Regarding the second uncle's work-related injuries and the deaths of several others at the same time, corresponding reports can also be found on relevant websites. This is indeed a case of elves hurting people.
Although we don’t know why the elf hurt people, the second uncle and several of his colleagues are indeed innocent people.
Things like this will naturally resonate more with viewers.
The number of likes, comments, and shares of this post are extremely high.
The flat-headed young man sighed deeply.
He turned down.
[I feel sorry for the original poster and the second uncle of the original poster, this guy named Mo Bao is really not a good thing! 】
[Some time ago, haven’t many official media been promoting this Mo Bao’s live broadcast room? Look at this post, are they still embarrassed? ? 】
[I feel really bad for my second uncle. At the same time, I am also completely disappointed with the official government. Especially yesterday, when I was watching the news on TV and reporting on a foreign World of Warcraft incident, the host suddenly used the word "elf". For a moment, the poster and I felt exactly the same. There was no hope. Warcraft were invaders. Why should we accept them? 】
[Indeed, if it wasn’t for the original poster who mentioned it, I didn’t even know there was such a weird city as Anping City. Does the government really not consider our feelings when doing things? 】
【Rape! This word is so useful! 】
[This Mo Bao is a spokesperson sent by the government, probably to take the blame. 】
[It’s not that simple. If you do a little research, you can know why the official chose Anping City as the pilot city, because Anping City is where this Mo Bao currently lives. The identity of this Mo Bao is not just for memorization. The pot is so simple. 】
【If you rape someone, die! 】
…
There are also rational discussants, but most of them are abusive.
After watching part of it, the young man with a flat head felt that he could no longer watch it.
The entire Elf House chat group also exploded at this time.
[The brain circuit of the person who posted this is really strange. When did Mo Bao say that elves are harmless? Obviously Mo Bao also emphasized many times during the live broadcast that some elves are naturally extremely aggressive. When ordinary people see it, He had to run away immediately. Even Mo Bao almost died because of the three evil dragons. How could the elves be considered harmless? 】
[I’m so angry. I was arguing with those bad guys just now. These people didn’t even listen. They just kept spraying ink. It really pissed me off! 】
[The comment area of Xiaopo Station has been occupied by these people who came after hearing the news. 】
[I told them that there are many powerful beings among elves, such as legendary elves such as Suicune. If humans and elves really fight, the end result will only be that both sides will lose. Guess what happened to these people? How to say? I would rather be broken into pieces than ruined. I am really convinced. Just like humans are divided into good and bad, not all elves are malicious towards humans. 】
[Sigh, that’s not necessary. The poster who posted the post was originally a bit radical because of family matters. From his point of view, he really couldn’t accept the elves. I think I can understand it. Some other people are just following the trend online. He is a fun-loving person, and Mo Bao is now very famous. I am afraid he is the only one in the world. Sooner or later, something like this will happen to him. 】
[I know, but I just can’t get angry. Mo Bao obviously wanted to make the world a better place before going to popularize science. And Anping City and Bobo Express have proven that elves can also be integrated into it. Our human life, but these people just can’t see it! 】
[Since the last Hongjingpo Forest, Mo Bao has not been broadcasting for several days. I feel that during this period, Mo Bao’s desire to live broadcast is not very strong. Mo Bao will not give up, right, plus these nonsense...]
[Mo Bao is not that kind of person, but what I am more concerned about is, what about the officials? Why don't the officials step forward and explain to Mo Bao at this time? Isn't Mo Bao one of theirs? 】
[If you don’t know Mo Bao, you really want to push him to take the blame...]
Seeing this, the young man with a flat head hesitated for a moment, and then called Ah Hui.
"Ah Hui, have you seen the news in the group? Brother Mo, do you know what the situation is now?"
"I went to see Brother Mo just now. Brother Mo is busy at home. He seems to be choosing the next place to prepare for a science trip. His mood is very stable and he told me not to worry."
"ha?"
The flat-headed young man was stunned.
"...I think it would be a bit awkward to choose to go out and broadcast the popular science elves at this time..."
According to common sense, shouldn't we avoid the limelight at this time?
Ah Hui sighed and said helplessly.
"I also told Brother Mo about this, but he said that he didn't do anything wrong. Why should he avoid the limelight? Since it is a storm, let the storm come more violently."
"..."
As Ah Hui said, Chen Mo's mood was indeed very stable at this time.
From the first popular science live broadcast, so far, Chen Mo has never been scolded. This incident is just the sum of all the previous accumulation, ushering in a big explosion.
Because of Professor Zhou's reminder, Chen Mo had already been mentally prepared.
Moreover, during the communication with Professor Zhou, Chen Mo also felt that it was a good thing that the official name of Warcraft was officially changed to Elf.
Don't think it's just a title.
However, behind the name Warcraft, it represents an objective impression of ferocity and cruelty. Most people in this world do not understand elves at all. Most of them just hear the name Warcraft, which is different from the previous ones. The negative news created some bad stereotypes about elves.
The official made a bad start before. Now, the name has been changed to 'elves' in order to make most people realize that the elves are not as cruel as they thought. There are also many kind-hearted people among them who are willing to cooperate with them. A close human presence.
certainly.
This kind of thing will stimulate the hearts of those innocent people who were harmed by the elves at any time. Although the officials are doing their best to compensate, this will eventually be a shadow that cannot be cut away in this era.
Standing under the tide of this era, the only thing Chen Mo can do is to do his best to popularize science and let this slightly gloomy era pass quickly.
He no longer cares about other things, such as verbal abuse.
not to mention.
The official made this decision and also suffered a lot of infamy.
Looking through the comments on the Internet, it is not difficult to see those people's abuse of Professor Zhou and his team who made the decision. The situation there is actually much worse than Chen Mo's. After all, in the eyes of some people, Chen Mo himself is The official promoted the scapegoat, but little did they know that Chen Mo was the one who had the greatest influence on the official changes.
"Next, this is the place."
Chen Mo looked at the information on the screen with a slightly serious expression.
He didn't know if his choice was right.
However, Chen Mo felt a tightness in his chest when he thought of what the old Double Ax Battle Dragon said that day, its expression and regret.
In fact, when Chen Mo first heard about the title 'Ideal Brave' from Sui Jun, he felt somewhat happy.
But now, after hearing the story of that trainer, and remembering the story of Mr. Arthurs, who spent his entire later life to atone for his sins, and begged Zekrom for forgiveness even when he turned into a spirit.
The title 'ideal brave' seems to have become very heavy.
if you can.
Chen Mo really wanted to find the 'ideal incarnation', the legendary elf - Zekrom, right away.
Go tell it.
The boy you chose at the beginning just got lost on the road of growing up, but he also spent his last life working hard to win your forgiveness.
There is another trainer in the later generations who heard your story and spent his whole life chasing after you.
As well as the eldest prince, and the ancestors of the trainer, all of them have their obsessions.
Therefore, after hearing that Zekrom might be staying in the forest, Chen Mo felt that he had to go there no matter what.
certainly.
Chen Mo also remembered what the old Double Ax Battle Dragon said, that there might be a disaster coming in that forest.
However, due to the uncertainty of time, Chen Mo could not wait until the disaster was over before going. After all, what if it took a year?
Moreover, Chen Mo is not completely incapable of prevention now. If a disaster breaks out, Chen Mo can just run away with the elf.
Anyway, now that he has the Poké Ball, even if there is an earthquake or a volcanic eruption, Chen Mo can call out Bibi Bird and take him away.
Therefore, even if he was really unlucky and happened to encounter a disaster, Chen Mo was confident that he could run away.
Just when Chen Mo was about to continue looking through the information.
The phone suddenly rang again.
The caller is Ah Fai.
"Brother Mo, hurry up and watch the video link I sent you. You must not miss this video!"
——
On the evening of the second day after the World of Warcraft Research and Countermeasures Bureau was renamed the Elf Research and Countermeasures Bureau, official accounts on many platforms jointly released a documentary that was more than two hours long. Even the Sixth Princess of the TV station also showed it to the audience across the country that night. The documentary was played.
The beginning of the film.
It's a sentence typed on a black screen.
"This is an unfortunate era, and our choices will determine what kind of world our next generation will live in."
The subtitles fade away slowly.
Immediately afterwards, another paragraph appeared.
"First of all, how did they come to this world? What is their purpose?"
The screen gradually brightened and the subtitles slowly disappeared.
It was a forest on the outskirts, on the empty grass, with only the occasional sound of insects outside the screen.
At this moment, a purple, mouse-like creature with two huge front teeth suddenly appeared in the grass.
At first, it was still running on all fours, but suddenly it seemed to realize that something was wrong. It suddenly stopped and looked around, with a humanized confused expression on its little face.
Camera switch.
One after another, creatures that have never been seen on this planet appear in grasslands, plains, forests, lakes, seas and other environments.
Some of them are at a loss, and some are very cautious, but without exception, they all reveal their confusion about the current world.
Although elves have always been considered intruders by humans, in fact, their arrival is not under their own control, and they have no choice at all.
See here.
Many people holding cell phones or watching TV were silent.
"Brother, I feel they are so pitiful."
"Poor ass!"
In a certain room, a young man sitting in front of the TV said coldly.
"You have to understand that even if they are forced to come to our world, the fact that they hurt and kill people is not false."
The words just fell.
The picture on the TV changed.
It fell into a snowfield.
A group of people in police uniforms were holding guns and cautiously observing their surroundings while advancing along the snow-covered mountain road.
at this time.
Accompanied by a roar from the jungle.
Immediately afterwards.
A pair of red eyes flashed through the shaking lens, and then, a bipedal creature that looked like a shark with a conspicuous yellow spot in the shape of an inverted pentagram on the tip of its nose approached at an extremely fast speed.
"It's a monster! Be alert!"
"do not come!"
"Shoot! Shoot!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah!
! "
This was a brutal one-sided massacre.
When the young man saw this, his eyes were red and his hands were tightly clenched.
The episode passed quickly.
A file list appeared in the center of the screen, detailing that this was a tragedy that actually happened at the beginning of this year.
The scene just now was still lingering in his mind. The young man's young brother's face was pale at this time, and his eyes were filled with fear.
The young man said slowly with a slightly hoarse voice.
"Did you see it? These are monsters, a group of murderous things. Now, do you still feel sorry for them?"
The younger brother lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore.
The video continues.
A heartbreaking cry came first.
"My husband...he was bitten to death by that monster..."
New victim?
The young man, who was already extremely angry, heard the woman's constant crying, and the anger in his heart rose to the point of no return.
The scene slowly moved up as the camera landed on the monitor in the police station.
Screen switching.
It’s like taking everyone in front of the screen back to the discovery site.
It was in a large yard. A strong man was holding a long stick and beating the purple mouse in the corner that appeared in the previous video.
As the stick fell, the purple mouse that was hit let out bursts of screams and tried to escape, but was soon blocked by another strong man holding a long stick from the other side.
Without saying anything, another stick came down and hit the purple mouse firmly.
The young man who saw this was stunned.
"This is…"
