“I am Hu Lezhi, an ordinary programmer and entrepreneur. Since October 2022, I realized that I have been monitored and manipulated since birth by a mind-control organization. When I discovered its existence, they intensified their harm toward me. The past two years have been extremely painful, and I have lost all dignity as a human being. I have decided to leave this world and hope this ugly world will soon be destroyed as well.”

In another on-chain message, he claimed that “brain chips are already widely used for military purposes, and all major military powers employ stations, radio signals, and nanomachines to control citizens.”
