Weird Apocalypse: Rebirth Starts with Trillions of Ghost Money

Chapter 1497 Taking Things Out of Context—Excerpt from "Don't Take Things Out of Context&q

After a moment of confusion, Xiaoye suddenly realized, "Boss, I get it. This editor-in-chief is weird; is he a top-tier torturer?"

Through this form of torture, the person becomes unbearable and is forced to comply and say what they want to say.

Chen Mu thought it made sense, but after thinking about it, he felt something was off.

"Something just doesn't feel right. If we were to do it this way, the cost would be too high and the benefits too small."

After being tortured, the other party might not necessarily submit; they might even beat it up. Or they might simply turn around and leave. Especially in the freezing cold, everyone is uncomfortable and harboring a lot of anger.

And even if the beggar gave in, the editor-in-chief told him in a strange way what to say, and he said it anyway.

In that case, would this also be considered a 'review'? There is a risk of revealing the interviewer's identity.

In summary, the likelihood of them resorting to persistent and obsessive tactics is low.

After Chen Mu's analysis, Xiao Ye was also at a loss.

"Boss, what you said makes sense. So, what is it planning to do?"

Chen Mu shook his head. "Let's wait and see. Since it's a beginner's guide level, it probably won't be too difficult. As an NPC, the editor-in-chief is definitely capable of doing it."

Chen Mu and his companion stood by and watched from a distance.

The beggar was mocked for "being so rich, yet his temper has worsened," which is absolutely infuriating.

"I've never seen such an idiot as you!" the beggar cursed, completely mistaking the editor-in-chief for a mentally ill person.

The beggar pointed at Chen Mu and his companion standing not far away, "With so many people around, why did you have to come and provoke me! Do you think I'm easy to bully?"

He smiled eerily and said, "Why would I want to annoy you? Of course, it's because you're the most comfortable. Look at people standing on the street in the freezing cold."

"You're lucky you even have a place to sit. Isn't sitting more comfortable than standing?"

The beggar was about to explode. "Comfortable my ass! Try sitting here yourself and see how your butt gets so cold it'll cry out."

He laughed eerily, "Hahaha! I'm so rich, yet I've never sat on the ground in the snow. I have no idea how cold it really is."

Hearing the editor-in-chief say such a strange thing, the beggar felt a deep sense of malice.

The beggar finally realized that he hadn't encountered a lunatic, but rather someone who was mocking him.

All those things I said before were just me being sarcastic and mocking.

The beggar truly didn't know what sins he had committed to deserve such ridicule, even in his current state of destitution.

Looking at the smiling other person, the beggar felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The beggar knew that no matter how he retaliated against someone who took pleasure in mockery, he would only become a laughingstock.

The beggar glanced at the editor-in-chief with a strange look, then sighed deeply with helplessness, "You too will have your downfall."

After saying this, the beggar turned his head away and stopped looking at the editor-in-chief strangely.

He thought the other party would continue to mock him.

However, after hearing this, the other person didn't say anything more, but simply turned around and left.

Watching the editor-in-chief's strange figure, the beggar muttered, "What a weird guy."

After the editor-in-chief turned away strangely, he came to Chen Mu and the other person.

It waved to the two of them and led them away quickly.

Having witnessed the editor-in-chief's bizarre actions, Chen Mu and Xiao Ye exchanged bewildered glances, their faces filled with confusion.

Upon reaching the corner, and making sure the beggar was out of sight, the editor-in-chief mysteriously and quickly pulled a newspaper and pen from his pocket.

Looking at the first draft of the newspaper, Chen Mu seemed to have thought of something, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

The editor-in-chief said mysteriously, "Mr. Chen, as you can see, I have completed the interview."

"The interview is over?" Xiaoye asked, looking puzzled.

Xiao Ye had no idea how that passionate exchange of insults and provocation could be considered the end of the interview.

From beginning to end, the beggar never uttered a single warm word.

"Of course, I'm going to start writing newspapers now."

The editor-in-chief gave Xiaoye a strange, enigmatic smile, then unfolded the newspaper and began to write:

"No one feels cold in this city. Even though it's -0.00°C, a ragged beggar told our interviewer: 'It's so warm today, I've never felt so comfortable.'"

After writing this, the editor-in-chief gave himself a strange look, looked at the words he had written, and nodded in satisfaction.

Xiaoye said, "That beggar... I don't think it said that."

Xiaoye was certain that she had never heard the beggar say such a thing before.

According to the "Interviewer's Code of Conduct," the editor-in-chief has violated the first rule; he is fabricating interview content!

Unexpectedly, in response to Xiaoye's question, the editor-in-chief gave a strange yet mysterious smile and asked in return:

"Who said the beggar didn't say that? I clearly heard him say it with his red lips and white teeth."

Think carefully, what was the first thing the beggar said to me?

Xiaoye thought for a moment and repeated, "I'm having such bad luck today, I really ran into an idiot!"

The editor shook his head strangely, "No, no, no, my hearing isn't good. I didn't hear that much, I only heard four words—'Today...' really..."

The beggar's second sentence consisted of only two words—"It really...warms...ah!"

I heard the third sentence—it's never happened before...

I heard the fourth sentence—so…

I heard the fifth sentence—"Comfortable..."

I heard the sixth sentence—...

So, putting all these words together, it's like the beggar telling me—"It's so warm today, I've never felt so comfortable."

I wrote down whatever I heard; every sentence was a true statement made by the beggar.

As for the rest I didn't hear, that was the beggar's own muttering and had nothing to do with the interview.

Our Underworld Post Office ensures that the interview content is completely truthful, entirely what the beggar said. I followed the rules and did what I was supposed to do.

Hearing the editor-in-chief's bizarre explanation, Xiaoye's jaw nearly dropped.

The most outrageous thing he had ever thought of was getting an interview through torture. But to his surprise, the editor-in-chief took a completely different approach.

After a long pause, Xiaoye slowly exclaimed, "Wow... you can play like this..."

Chen Mu, standing to the side, couldn't help but think of a joke he had once heard:

Don't take things out of context. —Excerpt from "Don't Take Things Out of Context"

Even Chen Mu had to admit that the Underworld Post Office had really figured out how to conduct interviews.

Seeing the surprised looks on Chen Mu and the other person's faces, the editor-in-chief finally revealed a helpless smile.

"Mr. Chen, I know what I'm doing does seem a bit rebellious. Deep down, I understand that too," the editor-in-chief sighed mysteriously, and said.

"But I did this out of desperation. Like those strange interviewers, I had no other choice but to resort to such a desperate measure."
