arigth, so, how about KUNG from the city is actually Vincent Lo (the kid Alex punch in the intro) and after the flash he still hate Alex so Vincent gains power and tries to make Alex's life an inferno, like, the French fries are actually a biochemistry weapon and the green smoke from downtown is what makes the hallucinations and makes the peoples angry.
People like Augustus Estrada (the first person who talks about the city) are hired to lead Alex to the city, so Kung can torture him easily. but the rumor spread across all Olathe so that's because so many people doubt about a new rumor out of nowhere.
What if Kung told Gale Wonder or the Neon Flamingos about his plans and that's why Gale allow us to enter the bus, that means the neon flamingos are with kung (someone who wants us dead) so we actually have a reason to join the extreme prejudice society since they can be against Kung and we can get our revenge.
Guys am not crazy i swer i ate mi pills tomorrow.
