Did the world end today?

Chapter 335 Information Out of Control

Chapter 335 Information Out of Control
Lin Xu, who had originally planned to go home, was forced to return to his office—not because this matter required his attention, but because this was the first time in the world that civilians had made large-scale contact with a high-dimensional channel and that high-dimensional information had been "leaked."

Therefore, out of caution, Lin Xu, as the center of high-dimensional information, undoubtedly needs to understand the specific situation.

Upon his arrival at the office, a report was quickly placed on his desk.

Lin Xu sipped his refreshing tea while looking at the report in his hand.

"On March 1, 2026, a hiking team of six people entered the Taihang Mountains and organized a hiking trek along the Aoshan-Taihang Mountain line."

"The weather was good that day, with high visibility, and the team moved at a fast pace."

"Before dark, the team arrived at Yaowang Temple, which is located in the middle of the Aoshan-Taihang Mountain crossing route, and rested there overnight."

"At 21 p.m. that day, the leader of the hiking team informed family members, friends and relevant personnel of the hiking club via satellite text message. According to the message, the team was in good condition and the members were in good spirits."

"At 8 a.m. the following day, the team failed to report the situation as agreed, and the relevant person in charge of the hiking club determined that the team was out of contact."

"Six hours after they went missing, the hiking club leader tried to make contact again but failed and then launched a rescue operation."

"Because the route was an illegal crossing that was explicitly prohibited, the hiking club leader did not notify the authorities in a timely manner, but instead chose to organize a rescue operation on his own."

"On March 2nd, the weather was fine."

"A total of 21 rescuers headed to the Yaowang Temple campsite according to the planned route, intending to set up camp there and search the surrounding area."

"Upon arriving at Yaowang Temple, the search and rescue team discovered a high-dimensional passage and interacted with it."

"All 21 people witnessed the high-dimensional channel. Among them, 4 people entered the high-dimensional channel, 1 person returned safely, and 3 people went missing."

"Those who returned successfully received high-dimensional information and exhibited 'abnormal abilities' in a short period of time."

"The rest of the staff recorded and filmed the entire process and uploaded the videos. The public opinion monitoring team has taken emergency measures, but the information has already spread."

"The video content has been disseminated via electronic devices."

After reading all the reports, Lin Xu immediately turned on his work computer.

The downloaded video was very long—actually, the content of the video wasn't anything particularly special to him.

It was nothing more than an ordinary person returning from a higher-dimensional channel, dissipating into a semi-transparent cluster of particles in front of everyone, and then quickly recombining, repeating this process many times.

Is there anything strange about that?
If someone recklessly touches an unstable fragment of time that is even more dangerous than a higher-dimensional channel, the symptoms that appear on the human body will be even more bizarre.

For example, it could turn into a glowing object, become a little blue man like Dr. Manhattan, become a pure energy body, or be burned to ashes.

It's already quite lucky that it can be transformed into a cluster of particles and then reassembled.

At least, you weren't swallowed up in the boundless four-dimensional space like the others who entered the higher-dimensional passage.
However, Lin Xu also knew that the so-called "ordinary" was only true for him.

After all, the information they possess far exceeds that of ordinary people who have little knowledge of higher-dimensional channels.

To them, such a video is no less than a nuclear bomb.

After all, this might be the first time they've come so close to so-called "superpowers."

Below the video, Lin Xu also saw video comments compiled by the public opinion monitoring team.

These comments are sufficient to represent the general public's reaction to this incident.

"I always said that high-dimensional channels are not that simple. Officials are like children. If they say they want to pee, they probably already have."

"When they were hyping up high-dimensional technology and negative energy fusion on a large scale a while ago, I knew something was wrong with the world, and now it seems that I was right."

"No, this time it's really evolution without me, right? Is this what dimensional ascension means?"

"Why is information being blocked? This information is clearly so important, don't we have the right to know?"

"It's probably because of the danger. The blogger also said in the video that only one person who encountered that thing came back alive, and the other nine people are probably dead."

"Whether they live or die is not important. What's important is the last part. The person who came back is clearly no longer a normal person. He has superpowers!"

“Superpowers? Bro, that’s not the most important thing. The most important thing is that he predicted the end of the world.” Lin Xu frowned as he scrolled down a small section of comments. After scrolling to the bottom of these comments, what appeared in front of him next was the analysis from the public opinion monitoring team.

"Based on the current public opinion, we make the following judgment."

"First, the public's overall reaction to this event was negative, with the main focus on three key points: 'information asymmetry,' 'information blockade,' and 'doomsday.'"

"Second, the public's understanding of high-dimensional channels and high-dimensional technology is not clear enough. They do not realize that the phenomena presented in the video are explainable scientific phenomena, but instead regard them as some kind of special supernatural phenomenon."

"Third, since the speed of information dissemination far exceeds the speed of public opinion monitoring and response, it is no longer possible to implement information blocking for this event, and further strengthening information blocking may have the opposite effect."

After reading the analysis, Lin Xu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Nonsense, do you really want to block information in this situation?

Although it appears to be just an isolated incident, it is clear that...
This is the first instance of information spiraling out of control in a high-dimensional context.

Its occurrence involves both chance and probability factors.

But more often than not, it is a product of a systemic and structural trend.

After a moment's thought, Lin Xu picked up his phone.

Then, he made a phone call and said:
"I believe the doomsday message can no longer be kept secret."

"Based on the current level of technological development, the extent of information available, and positive future expectations"

"Make a plan and prepare to release the doomsday information to the public."

at the same time.

Xi'an, inside the office of the State Security Department.

A man still wearing a windbreaker sat in the interrogation room of the National Security Bureau, looking slightly panicked, yet exuding an air of arrogance.

He looked directly at the interrogator opposite him, paused briefly, and then spoke:
"I've already told you everything I can say."

"I don't want to say the rest, and you have no right to hear it."

"Unless you meet my conditions, I refuse to communicate further."

What are your terms?

The interrogator tried to remain calm and spoke in a steady tone:
"If your conditions are reasonable, we are not unable to meet them."

A slight smile finally appeared on the man's lips.

"I didn't decide what conditions I wanted."

"It should be, you tell me."

"After all, I have what you want. Do you expect me to set the price for these things?"

"To me, this is just too embarrassing, isn't it?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, the interrogators couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

He shook his head and asked:
"Let's talk about what you can bring to us first."
