Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 1628

Chapter 1628: Being Afraid of the People

Ai Lei bragged to Meng Chao that she had just joined a discussion group.

It was said to be a professional forum that was rarely open to the public and was an invitation-only forum.

Those who were qualified to join were the better elites among the Azure Alliance’s supporters.

It was because the Azure Alliance had been formed by more than a dozen organizations of all sizes, representing millions of ordinary people and citizens.

Of course, among the Azure Alliance’s supporters, there would also be all kinds of people.

Whenever they encountered unexpected events, their comments on the Internet would often be over-the-top and not actionable. They would just vent their emotions.

In these more high-end and professional discussion groups, it was easier to see the Azure Alliance’s true position and predict its next move.

Meng Chao was indeed interested.

The Azure Alliance was huge now.

But because it was too big, 90% of it was noise…

Or as Meng Chao had suggested to Shen Yuanbao: pa.s.sing the Anti-monopoly Act and splitting the nine mega corporations was just a bluff.

Meng Chao also wanted to know what the Azure Alliance’s actual demands were and what their bottom line was. How far did the nine mega corporations, as well as peerless experts, have to go before they could shake hands and make peace to achieve unity and the continued development of Dragon City?

However, before that, there was something he was even more curious about. “Wait, how did you get into their core discussion group?”

“What’s the big deal?”

Ai Lei did not seem to care. “The Azure Alliance has always paid attention to the media’s role. As long as it’s not something under the nine mega corporations, many of the core members are members of the Azure Alliance.

“I just need to reveal my ident.i.ty as a reporter when I speak online and speak in a relatively calm and professional manner. If I give a little insight into the relationship between superhumans and ordinary people in the post-Monster War era, the Azure Alliance will soon pay attention to me. After a few rounds of probing, the other party will take the initiative to invite me to have a deeper discussion!

“I guess this discussion group is part of a test. They want to see if I’m qualified to become an official member of the Azure Alliance!”

“What? You used your real ident.i.ty to speak online?” Meng Chao was shocked.

“Of course not. How could I be so stupid?”

“Ai Lei is a reporter. A reporter might not be Ai Lei!” she said proudly.

“In fact, I have a total of thirty to fifty fake ident.i.ties online. Each fake ident.i.ty is not just a simple vest. I’ve even prepared birth certificates. Every now and then, I’ll intentionally ‘leak’ some clues on different websites.

“For example, the fake ident.i.ty that I used to infiltrate the Azure Alliance Discussion Group. Although it also says I’m a reporter, I set it as a hot-blooded graduate from a famous university who had joined the media team of a certain mega corporation. Just as he was about to reveal the truth, uphold justice, and speak freely, he was shattered by the cold reality. Whenever he wrote articles praising the mega corporation and its peerless experts, he had a strong rebellious mentality. From then on, he started to be more critical and gradually oppose the mega corporation.

“I have set up more than ten accounts for this fake ident.i.ty, from the media coverage to short videos, as well as the replies under various Q & A websites. Everything is available.

“If someone collected all the information that this fake ident.i.ty has uploaded to the Internet, he would definitely believe that there is a living person behind all this information!”

Meng Chao clicked his tongue. “There’s even a birth certificate?”

“Of course. In the past few decades, Dragon City has encountered so many troubles. Many people have died in silence, and many more were born out of nowhere. It’s easy to get a birth certificate that has no flaws!

“A birth certificate could be bought for hundreds of dollars, especially before the overall renovation of the Lair!” Ai Lei said.

What else could Meng Chao say?

He could only give Ai Lei a thumbs up and praise her professionalism.

“Then, what do the insiders of the Azure Alliance think of the series of events that have happened in Dragon City recently? From the explosion of the crystal warehouse in Red Creek Valley to the lifting of the underground black market’s lid, to the attempted a.s.sa.s.sination of the Deity Realm warrior, Shen Yuanbao, to the compet.i.tion between the National Training Act and the North Advancement Plan? How far do the core members of the Azure Alliance think they can go?” Meng Chao asked.

“What I want to know is not the slogan that they are shouting in the streets, but their true thoughts and bottom line, which they absolutely cannot compromise!”

“What ‘true thoughts’ and ‘bottom line?’”

Ai Lei spread her hands. “Senior, you should know well that a series of events have happened in the past ten days and half a month. Some of them were secretly planned by people with ulterior motives, such as the explosion of the Red Creek Project’s crystal warehouse, while some of them were coincidences. For example, if we wanted to find Tailless Monkey, we had to find Giant-toothed Crocodile first. Who knew that we would open the underground black market’s lid?

“The Azure Alliance is not the one leading these matters.

“The Azure Alliance is only taking advantage of the situation to expand their influence.

“However, it seems that even the core members of the Azure Alliance have underestimated the strength of the citizens. To be more precise, they have underestimated the despair, helplessness, unwillingness, jealousy, and anger hidden deep in the people’s hearts when they face the superhumans, especially the extremely powerful ones.

“That’s right. During the Monster War, the extremely powerful people were like Dragon City’s saviors.

“Even so, the Dragon City civilization is not a civilization that likes and is used to prostrating at the feet of saviors. Since ancient times, we have been more willing to believe in our own hands, as well as the spears and rakes that we forge and wave, than G.o.ds, emperors, and saviors.

“Therefore, when millions of ordinary citizens under the Azure Alliance’s leadership let out an intense and even violent cry, many insiders of the alliance were caught off guard.

“I estimate that their initial idea was simple. They merely wanted to pa.s.s the National Training Act and put it into legal effect. Then, in the process of implementing the National Training Act, they would further expand their strength and influence before they seized more seats in the Survival Committee.

“But now, things are getting out of hand. It’s obvious that the nine mega corporations aren’t going to give in so easily. There might even be a backlash. As a result, many insiders and even the core members of the Azure Alliance don’t know what to do!”
