Chapter 60: Misfortunes Are Where Blessings Depend (1)

"Is this a sign that Japan is about to sink?"

"There were three major earthquakes in three days, and I suddenly felt despair about the future."

"Every time I thought it was the last time, the alarm on my phone the next day would bring me fear. I can't stand this life anymore!"

"Today on the train, everyone's mobile phones were shouting "Earthquake! Earthquake! Earthquake!" These voices are still filling my head. I must be going crazy!

"I haven't slept for 24 hours and I have to go to work tomorrow, but how can I sleep in the current situation?"

On the Internet, the speeches of the Japanese people are filled with an atmosphere of pessimism and despair. Although the total number of victims in these three major earthquakes is not as large as that in Fukushima, such a dense frequency and such a high level, even in the earthquake The frequent occurrence in Japan is definitely not a normal phenomenon.

The last time this happened was in Chile in 1960. At that time, Chile was also experiencing frequent major earthquakes, but at first they were only local disasters and the losses were not very large.

Not long after, a 9.5-magnitude earthquake suddenly broke out, taking away nearly 100,000 lives.

This earthquake was the largest earthquake in the history of human scientific observation. The tsunami caused by the earthquake reached a height of up to 25 meters across the entire Pacific Ocean, which could be said to have swept over half of the earth. At that time, Japan also suffered heavy losses due to this tsunami.

And everything that has happened in the past few days seems to be a warning from God, a sign before a huge disaster is coming!

Especially in areas with extremely unstable geology like Japan, the probability of a huge earthquake is quite high.

Although many earthquake experts in Japan have spoken out one after another, saying that the earthquakes in the past few days are just individual phenomena and have no connection with each other, and there should be no major earthquakes for a long time in the future.

But such remarks are like deceptive remarks made by the government in order to stabilize people's hearts. Even if various TV stations broadcast them every day, they cannot really make the people feel at ease.

Unknown things often arouse people's fear the most. The number of searches on the Internet about the earthquake in Chile has reached a new high, and rumors about the earthquake in Tokyo have also begun to dominate various forums and hot searches.

Although the government quickly refuted and deleted these rumors, the more they continued, the more people felt that there was no silver in this place.

Pessimism has enveloped the entire Japanese society. Stock prices have plummeted, prices have soared, and flights to foreign countries have increased. However, flights to Japan have reached the lowest value in several years.

The tourism industry has been hit hard, and a large number of employees have been fired. Those who have lost their livelihood can't even think about it and have the idea of ​​​​suicide.

The sudden increase in a large number of suicide cases by jumping from buildings became the straw that broke the camel's back, and the entire Japanese society fell into a vicious cycle.

The last time this happened was in the 1990s, when the end of the bubble era sent the entire Japanese economy into the Great Depression.

In the next twenty years, almost everything in Japan, including its economy, birth population, and so on, was in decline. These twenty years were also called the lost twenty years by the Japanese people, and they were two decades that they could not bear to look back on.

And this time, the panic caused by frequent earthquakes has the potential to build on the past and lead to the future. If the government does not take rescue measures, economic recession is bound to happen, and the lost twenty years may very well turn into a lost thirty, or even four. ten years!

Nowadays, earthquakes are no longer a concern for the Japanese government. If an economic crisis occurs, it will be a disaster. Japan's economy has been sluggish in recent years. If the stock price plummets due to these things, Japan's re-emergence will be It's basically completely hopeless.

There are many crises here in Japan, but the two neighboring countries, South Korea and China, are enjoying themselves. Some people who are not too concerned about the excitement are still discussing whether the entire Japan will sink if a 9.5-magnitude earthquake really occurs.

Of course, this kind of discussion that was not in line with the mainstream values ​​of the new century was quickly criticized by the Holy Mother and Jingri, and other melon-eating people also joined in, triggering an even more intense debate.

On the other side, fans of Luo Quan and Wen Xia also left messages on their Weibo posts, asking them to leave Japan and return to China as soon as possible, just in case.

To be honest, Wen Xia really had the idea of ​​returning to China right away. After all, she originally planned to go on vacation when she came to Japan. Unexpectedly, she suffered three earthquakes in three days. She is still in shock until now. She sometimes suffers from nightmares when she sleeps at night. Wake up with a start.

But she was a little reluctant to leave Luoquan like this. Moreover, Junzi still had a lot of things to teach here. It was really irresponsible to leave like this, so Wen Xia gritted her teeth and finally stayed.

As for Luo Quan, her university is in Tokyo, Japan. She cannot leave, and there is no need to leave, because the so-called major earthquake is simply a fiction. At least before she traveled through time, there had not been a 9.5-magnitude earthquake in Japan.

Although we don’t know what caused the frequent earthquakes in the past three days, the general trend of history will not change. It can only be said that these rumors on the Internet are just scaremongering by boring people.

It's just that Japan's special environment makes these rumors very popular, and people believe in them. In addition, no expert can guarantee that earthquakes will not happen, so it has not been very smooth in refuting the rumors.

Unless Japan can, like China, arrest those who spread rumors and then publicize criticism on the entire network.

But the key point is that the people spreading rumors this time are not talking nonsense. Many of them quoted what happened before the earthquake in Chile and then predicted what will happen in Japan in the future. They are well-founded and really difficult to deal with.

At present, the Japanese government can only ask local police departments to send people from local police departments to distribute leaflets refuting rumors to the public, and also order websites to delete relevant remarks.

The effect is not very high, but there is no other way.

In the face of an impending economic recession, Japan's record market, unlike most other markets, has experienced considerable growth.

Probably because people want to use music to numb their tense nerves and escape from the real world full of negative emotions, so many singers' records have increased recently, and Luo Quan is the most prominent one.

Due to the earthquake a few days ago, the record printing factory has been shut down and has not printed many copies until now.

Originally, considering that earthquakes were likely to occur again in the future, the person in charge of the printing plant planned to continue to suspend operations until the situation stabilized. However, the pre-sales of Luoquan Records have reached 1.7 million. After such a long delay, fans have already waited. They were impatient, so the company executives still took the risk and forced these factories to open.

An earthquake is nothing. In the eyes of capitalists, having no profit to make is ten thousand times more terrifying than an earthquake! As long as you can make money, you will not hesitate to pay the price of blood or even life.

However, not long after the order to start work was issued, the company's top management stopped it because Luo Quan wanted to add a new song to the album.
