I deliver food in a bizarre world

He looked at a senior researcher beside him who was in charge of file analysis: "Engineer Li, has the analysis report for the Mirror Hotel been released yet?"

With his graying hair, Engineer Li pushed up his glasses, his tone somewhat heavy: "Director Chen, it's basically confirmed. The Mirror Hotel isn't just a simple gathering place for the supernatural; it's a rare, naturally formed nest, or rather, a stable entrance to a mirrored space."

"The mirrors in the hotel are not just tools for reflecting reality, but also channels and anchors connecting that unstable space."

He pulled up the data and continued to explain: "According to our research and limited exploration, the interior space of the hotel is folded and disordered, especially the third floor, which may have been partially integrated into that mirrored space."

"The number of Mirror Spirits residing inside is unknown, but there is at least one Core Mirror Spirit with high intelligence that can imitate or even manipulate reality. It is very likely the one that appeared in the scene just now, the one that imitated you... uh... Chen Mo."

"Why didn't we clean it up before?" a young officer next to him couldn't help but ask in confusion.

Engineer Li sighed: "The risk is too high, and the cost is too great..."

"Forced cleanup could lead to imbalance or even collapse of the mirror space, causing unpredictable spatial disturbances with an immeasurable impact."

"Moreover, that core spirit is extremely cunning, adept at hiding and utilizing the environment. Our previous attempts to probe and make contact all failed, and we even lost a colleague..."

"Therefore, headquarters designated it as an observation-level target and temporarily sealed it off to avoid provoking it."

Chen Jingming remained silent to the side.

What Engineer Li said was true, and as the bureau chief, he knew it better than anyone else!

The polling office has limited resources and needs to prioritize dealing with more threatening anomalies.

For high-risk and challenging targets like the Mirror Hotel, temporary observation and isolation are the safest options.

It will be ignited in this way by a few greedy fools, firstly to make an example of them, and secondly to warn ordinary people and show them the consequences of joining in the fun.

"Director Chen, the online public opinion..." the secretary whispered a reminder.

Chen Jingming waved his hand, his gaze still fixed on the black screen, as if he could see through the network and witness his son's reaction on the other end.

"Let public opinion handle it itself. The Mirror Spirit has been influenced by Chen Mo, but it hasn't escalated to the point of indiscriminate killing. However, we can't let those three idiots really die. Activate the emergency plan; it's time for us to take action."

"Close off the area within a three-kilometer radius of the Mirror Hotel and raise the alert level to orange!"

"Notify the technical department to attempt to restore communication with the hotel and prioritize the search for the missing persons."

He paused, his voice low and firm: "Also, connect me to headquarters and request access to the space-time compass, the sooner the better!"

"This place can no longer be left!"

His subordinates immediately obeyed and left.

Chen Jingming stood alone in front of the screen, staring at the static that indicated a signal interruption, his brow furrowed.

"waiting for you……"

He muttered to himself, repeating the silent invitation from the figure in the mirror to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo's live stream room was still bustling with noise, and the viewers were still shocked and debating the last scene they had just witnessed.

Chen Mo closed the connection to the Kuangshi platform, leaned back in his chair, and remained silent for a long time.

Zhao Tianyi's worried voice echoed in his mind: "Brother Mo, that guy... it's got its eye on you."

As a fellow spirit, he could naturally sense who the mirror spirit's target was!

But worrying about this matter is useless.

Eat when you're hungry, drink when you're thirsty, play when you're happy, sleep when you're tired...

Anyway, it has nothing to do with him. If the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up!

As dawn broke, the field team from the Public Opinion Survey Office found Wang Xiaotian huddled in a corner at the entrance of the corridor on the third floor of the Mirror Hotel, where he had completely broken down.

His eyes were unfocused, his body was filthy, and he kept muttering "mirror...doll...Chen Mo..." He showed great fear to anyone who approached him.

The two assistants searched in vain, as if they had vanished into thin air.

Wang Xiaotian was quickly sent to the city's mental health center, where he was initially diagnosed with severe post-traumatic stress disorder and was unlikely to recover in the short term.

That evening, the official account of the Kuangshi live streaming platform, along with several senior executives of the platform, began to speak out on various occasions, using strong language and targeting Chen Mo directly.

After a night of meetings, they firmly believed that Chen Mo was behind it all!

The platform owner even took to the stage himself, giving an interview to an online media outlet, where he spoke with a face full of grief and indignation.

"Our platform's streamer, Xiaotian, risked going to explore a rumored location in pursuit of authenticity in his live stream, only to encounter such misfortune!"

"We have reason to suspect that this is a malicious suppression and frame-up by certain competitors!"

"Chen Mo and his team must provide a clear explanation for this matter! We reserve the right to pursue their legal responsibility!"

These distorted and fabricated statements, coupled with photos of Wang Xiaotian lying in a hospital bed and carefully edited live stream clips that only highlighted Wang Xiaotian's horrified state, have indeed misled some netizens who are unaware of the truth.

Because not everyone watches the news or live streams...

Regarding this matter, the higher authorities' attitude is very ambiguous, only opening up a little bit, so apart from a very few authoritative or powerful media outlets, most people do not have the right to report on it.

The online trolls on the Kuangshi platform also mobilized again, frantically stirring up trouble and trying to package Wang Xiaotian's reckless behavior as a heroic narrative of "pursuing the truth but being persecuted," desperately throwing dirty water on Chen Mo.

Support Xiaotian! Exposing the truth backfired!

Chen Mo must come out and give an explanation!

[That's despicable! It must have been Chen Mo who did this!]

[We demand that the perpetrator be severely punished!]

The top management of the Kuangshi platform had a simple idea: since their cash cow had fallen, they would use public opinion to attack their opponents, or at least make them unhappy.

With the sheer volume of traffic on the Kuangshi platform, creating a minor internet celebrity is more than enough; this is a tactic they often employ.

The boss and management's thinking is that simple and unpretentious: profit is everything.

If even a few of them had a clear understanding of the whole situation, and knew Chen Mo's background and modus operandi, they wouldn't have made such a decision.

This illustrates the importance of a PR team, but the boss got carried away and completely ignored the PR side.

Ultimately, they're just working for the boss; the boss is the one who makes the decisions!

But this time, things didn't go as they expected...

Chen Mo's fan group was once again shocked by these comments, the atmosphere was heavy, and some people were on the verge of breaking down.

I'm so angry! How could they be so shameless!

[He brought this on himself, yet he's blaming Brother Mo!]

[Brother Mo, what do we do?]

Chen Mo looked at these messages without any expression on his face. He had expected the other party to resort to desperate measures.

He doesn't mingle in any circles, but he still knows about these shady methods.

Fortunately, after the last [Midnight Delivery] mission, he developed the good habit of recording videos...

He leisurely logged into his social media account and posted a status update.
