Most people, upon encountering phenomena or objects beyond their comprehension, instinctively choose to disbelieve.
So, when everyone at the filming site of the Psychic War show, as well as all the viewers watching the program on their television screens, first saw the two-ton Volvo inexplicably levitate, they all instinctively thought it was a magic trick, definitely fake.
Indeed, they simply couldn't believe it was a real event.
But then, when Li Hai himself also floated up into the air, and in the blink of an eye, with bursts of air-breaking sounds and multiple afterimages, flew to the Volvo's trunk, casually opened the door, and pulled out a flustered staff member from inside, everyone was stunned.
They all realized that the reason the Volvo was suspended in the sky was because of Anthony!
It was Anthony who used special abilities or witchcraft; in short, it was definitely related to him.
So, was he truly the Saint of the world, as he claimed?
"Holy crab!"
"Mama mia!"
"Jesus! Is what's on TV real?!"
"What the f***! What did I just see?!"
"That's a car, how can it float in mid-air, and so high up!"
"Why does this world suddenly feel unreal?!"
"Is this Anthony Jesus?! This is a miracle!"
"He seemed to have said just now that he was a Saint blessed by God, that he possessed power beyond humans!"
"God! You still favor your lambs; you have allowed the Saint to descend upon the world once more!"
"I remember now, this Anthony said he was a religious leader of a certain church, and that this church is in Yuanha Town, Southern California!"
"I want to go to Yuanha Town, I want to join this church, I want to see this Saint with my own eyes, I want to be closer to God!"
In an instant, through television sets, nearly three million people began to believe that Li Hai was truly the Saint of the world and truly possessed Divine Power.
And many devout and proactive Christians immediately abandoned everything and left their homes, rushing to Yuanha Town, California, through various means.
The total number of these people was at least half a million.
Thus, Li Hai's goal was achieved.
Regarding this, one can only say that his Calming Aura was truly too powerful.
Even after being "diluted" by television transmission, its residual power was still terrifying.
Therefore, it can be foreseen that such people will surely become loyal followers of his religious group in the future, gathering wealth, power, and fragments of strength for him.
Aside from these hundreds of thousands or millions of viewers who were either flustered, excited, or bewildered, the most shocked people were actually all the contestants and all the members of the production team who witnessed the sight of the car and person flying at the filming site.
Because they knew that the vast football field they were standing on simply could not accommodate such an absurd magical mechanism.
Also, because the Calming Aura emanating from Li Hai completely covered them without any reduction or weakening, it was in its hundred percent perfect state.
So everyone at the scene believed that the reason the Volvo flew into the sky was because Li Hai applied some mysterious Unknown power to it.
As for the mid-level and high-level leaders of KABC Television behind the scenes of the show, they immediately held an emergency meeting after their initial shock.
The topic of the meeting was whether to allocate all the show's resources towards Li Hai and then, with him as the core, build him into a unique occult idol superstar.
The final result was that after this brief and swift meeting, all the television executives reached a consensus: they could try this plan, but they needed to sign a long-term contract with Li Hai.
Meanwhile, at the filming site, Li Hai, the Volvo, and the trembling, shocked staff member had already returned to the ground together.
Upon returning to the ground, Li Hai looked at Karen, the host, who was also astonished, and asked with a smile:
"How about it, did I qualify?"
Karen shivered abruptly, then quickly nodded repeatedly:
"You qualified, you qualified. If you can't qualify, then no one can qualify."
"Hmm, very good."
Li Hai nodded, "I remember your staff said that after the auditions, we would have to wait a week for the next competition, right?"
"Yes!" Karen said fearfully and respectfully, "After a week, you can just come directly to our KABC Television station, and we will arrange everything."
"Good." Li Hai said indifferently, "Then I'm leaving."
Saying this, he was about to turn and leave.
But at this moment, the host Karen quickly called out to Li Hai:
"Mr. Anthony, on behalf of the vast audience, I would like to ask, what exactly is that mysterious ability that allowed the car and yourself to float into the sky just now?"
"That is telekinesis, a gift from the Lord."
Li Hai said casually without looking back, "It is my basic ability as a Saint of Christianity."
After speaking, he and Cai Tianju, who had been waiting nearby for a long time, walked out of the football field together.
"God's—gift? Christian Saint?"
Everyone at the scene savored these words, and the more they did, the more they could feel the profound significance within them.
Was Anthony—comparing himself to Jesus?
After leaving the filming site, Li Hai drove with Cai to Los Angeles's Chinatown.
In this era, Chinatown still had relatively serious public safety issues.
However, with Cai Tianju, who was half a local, accompanying him, plus Anthony's own strong deterrent power, no one foolish enough tried to seek death.
So they comfortably enjoyed a large Chinese meal, and during it, they even watched with interest a Gang vendetta scene.
It was at this juncture that Li Hai's Nokia 8110 in his pocket suddenly rang.
Ding-a-ling~ Ding-a-ling~
Li Hai took out his phone and saw that it was from the Exorcism Company.
He then put it to his ear: "Hello, what's going on?"
"...Ohio, Chunmu Town—"
"...Client Nancy Thompson—"
"...Elm Street—"
"...Nightmare Demon—"
After listening with a slight frown for a while, Li Hai replied: "Hmm, tell Ms. Nancy that I will arrive today."
After speaking, he hung up the phone.
"What?" Cai asked from the side, "Do you have something to attend to?"
"Yes." Li Hai nodded, "I need to go to Ohio; I have something to deal with."
"Then you go." Cai Tianju wisely did not ask further, "See you next week."
"Okay." Li Hai smiled slightly, "Goodbye."
Saying this, he turned and walked out of the restaurant, got into the car, and drove away in an instant.
