Chapter 91: Has Brother Dao Gone Crazy?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
With a shocked expression, Li Yidao stood up from the recliner.
The speed of him browsing the videos became faster and faster, but the more he did so, the more alarmed he felt.
The system’s notifications were still coming in.
Another ten minutes passed, and he found himself following three more people!
At this point, he was hesitating to continue.
NO!
He had to think of a way!
Something significant must be about to happen!
Seeing the increasing number of people he was following, he finally made a tough decision.
Three hundred years of lifespan gone!
As Li Yidao continued to increase his follows, in an old shopping mall on Jiang
City’s Construction Street, the owner of a clothing store had just finished his
live stream advertising session.
The business of physical stores had been declining in the past two years. Faced with this situation, Yang Yi had no choice but to explore live stream advertising.
However, live stream advertising wasn’t as easy as it seemed. Building a fan base was a challenge!
Without influential connections or controversial tactics, how could he quickly accumulate followers?
Ending the live stream session with only a few online viewers, he felt a bit defeated.
How did others accumulate millions of followers? His few hundred followers seemed to have little potential for making money.
But at that moment, he received a notification from the system.
“Someone is following me?” At the early stage of his live streaming, he cherished every single follower!
He was about to click on the notification to follow this person back and express his gratitude, but when he saw the follower’s name, he froze on the spot in complete shock!
[Brother Yidao Funeral Shop followed you.]
Brother Dao?
Brother Dao followed me?
He had recently become a fervent fan of Brother Dao, attending every one of his live streams.
In such a high-pressure era, watching such thrilling and exciting live streams was a way to relax.
He even considered if he should ask Brother Dao to follow him back and gain some popularity for himself.
After all, he noticed that everyone Brother Dao followed instantly gained over 100,000 new followers.
Having 100,000 fans and doing live stream advertising would be amazing!
But… the terror of Brother Dao made him quash this unrealistic idea.
He had responsibilities, a family to support, and couldn’t take such risks.
However…
Now, he was dumbfounded!
Truly dumbfounded!
Brother Dao followed him, which meant he was going to die, right?
As an ardent fan of Brother Dao, he couldn’t see any possibility of escaping this fate!
In a daze, he opened Brother Dao’s profile and planned to post a message under his Status.
Perhaps there was still a chance for survival in Brother Dao’s notifications?
But…
As he opened Brother Dao’s homepage and instinctively checked his follow list, he became even more bewildered!
Brother Dao’s follow list had over twenty new people!
And they were all followed just a short while ago!
Not only that!
A few of the streamers’ IDs were very familiar to him! They were all planning to do live stream advertising, just like him!
Among them was even his neighbor from the shop across the street!
The two of them were currently sitting face to face, separated by less than five meters!
As he raised his head in confusion and looked over, the other person also glanced at him in return.
The looks of disbelief on their faces were synchronized as they both exclaimed in unison.
“You’ve been followed by Brother Dao?” “You’ve been followed by Brother Dao?”
“Really?” “Really?”
“What’s going on?”
“What’s going on?”
The two of them were speechless.
Their synchronized expressions and matching tones immediately drew laughter from several other shop owners nearby.
“Haha, what were you two doing? Practicing a comedy routine?” a middle-aged man walked over with a big smile.
After all, the duo’s bewildered expressions and simultaneous speech were so adorable that they wondered if filming it as a video would go viral.
Then, he saw the two of them look at him in a daze and then look at their phones at the same time.
Yang Yi was the first to look up and face the middle-aged man who had just teased them.
A hint of fear crept into his eyes, “You… were also followed, right?”
The person opposite him raised his head too, “Yes, he followed him as well. Brother Wang and Brother Lu were followed too…”
The other man also looked over in confusion. To be honest, they had yet to understand the situation.
What kind of joke was this?
So many people were followed by Brother Dao at the same time!
And it seemed they were all from this shopping mall?
The “Brother Wang” and “Brother Lu” they mentioned had boutique stalls on the third floor, while they were on the second floor.
The man who had just teased them seemed to sense that something was amiss, his face showing confusion as he asked, “What are you guys talking about?
What do you mean by being ‘followed?”
“Brother Dao, Brother Dao followed us,” Yang Yi explained reflexively.
“Brother Dao? Who’s that? If someone follows us, we can follow them back, what’s the big deal?” It was evident that the middle-aged man probably didn’t really understand.
Yang Yi raised his head and looked at him, then sighed, “Brother Dao, the Grim Reaper of the Internet, that’s who Brother Dao is. Anyone he follows… ends up dead! Without exception! Over twenty people he followed have died!”
“Just a moment ago, I found out he followed me, and when I checked his follow list, I saw that he just followed over twenty people!”
“Many of those IDs were familiar to me, all from this shopping mall… including your account…”
As he spoke, not only the three of them, but also the surrounding shop owners who had gathered around, stood in stunned silence!
Brother Dao!
Some had heard of him, while others hadn’t!
For example, a middle-aged woman in her fifties hadn’t heard of him and looked utterly bewildered.
But a woman in her thirties had heard of him, her expression full of terror!
There was no need to guess. She was clearly one of Li Yidao’s die-hard fans!
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so terrified!
Because they knew more about Li Yidao, they were even more frightened!
Yang Yi and the others were silent for a while, stunned in their tracks.
Some quietly explained to those who were unfamiliar with the situation.
As the explanation went on, those who were previously unaware of Brother Dao quickly took out their phones to search for him.
As they learned more, their expressions became increasingly serious!
At this moment, in a superfan group created by Brother Dao’s followers, someone already noticed Brother Dao’s following list.
They took a screenshot of the new followers and shared it in the group.
“@Admin, Admin, gather everyone! Something big is happening! Brother Dao’s follow list has been updated! He just followed over twenty people! No, wait! It’s over thirty now!”
Admin sent,
“D*mn, Brother Dao is going crazy! What happened to him? @Everyone, come out now!”
“I’m freaked out! Brother Dao followed over thirty people?”
“No, it’s still increasing! I just saw that Brother Dao’s follow list is growing again!”
“What the f*ck! Why is my ID in there too?”
“What’s going on? My girlfriend’s ID is in there too? She broke up with me and now Brother Dao is following her! She said we’d get married and have kids!”
“You’re really something else! She already broke up with you and you still believe her words?”
“This is insane! I just checked, it’s really crazy! D*mn!”
“This is messed up… seriously messed up! What the hell is Brother Dao doing?!”
Actually, if Brother Dao’s follow list had only increased by one or two people, these fans would probably immediately dig up information about these individuals and analyze them excitedly. It wouldn’t have caused such a huge reaction.
But…
He had already followed more than 30 people, and the list was still getting longer!
What was happening?
What they were feeling now was not excitement!
It was fear!
A deep-rooted fear!
It was even causing panic!
This was because some netizens had already discovered the clues!
These people!
These people were all from Jiang City!
Not only that, they were all on the same street!
That was because their homepage had the address!
At this moment, they feel that chilling and terrifying feeling deep in their hearts and bones!
“I’m so scared! Can someone tell me what’s happening? Brother Dao won’t follow me next, right?”
“D*mn! I recognize eight of the influencers in the following list! I’m shivering!” “What’s going on? Even my mom is on the following list! Can someone tell
“Where’s Brother Dao? Brother Dao, come out and explain! Can someone contact Brother Dao?”
“Yeah, can Brother Dao do a live stream and explain what’s happening!”
“D*mn it! Five more have been added in just a moment! I feel like crying now!”
“Brother Dao…”
Not only did the fan group explode, but everyone else did too! The entire internet was in an uproar!
Seeing the constantly increasing number of people in Brother Dao’s follow list, everyone left messages on his profile!
“Oh my, f*ck! Brother Dao, what’s happening to you? Blink twice if you’ve been kidnapped by a terrorist organization!”
“Brother Dao, Brother Dao! Have you been traumatized? So many people!
Please show some mercy!”
“Brother Dao, what’s going on? I feel so anxious!”
“Please, Brother Dao, no! My dad, my aunt, and my second uncle, they’ve all been followed by you! Please spare us!”
At this moment, Li Yidao’s backend messages kept coming in, but he didn’t stop watching videos and following accounts.
He had just found out the specific cause of the fire and the consequence…
It was disastrous.
Initially, he wanted to give a clear warning, no matter what it took.
He was anxious because so many people were dying.
He wanted to try providing more detailed alerts, but then that terrifying sense of death struck.
He knew that if he dared to give a more explicit warning, it wouldn’t just be these people who would be affected.
He wouldn’t be able to save them, and he would be the first one to die.
So, in his panic, he forced himself to calm down and came up with a rough solution.
He continued to watch videos and continued to follow others!
As long as he followed enough people, it would draw enough attention!
Combined with his past achievements and the limited alerts he could provide at the moment, he believed that someone would notice the clues.
This was the only option he could think of!
The only way to rescue them from this disaster!
