Chapter 61 They Started Arguing
The masked man's reappearance instantly ignited the internet!
In particular, they actually managed to get a shot this time!
Countless people were chasing after him to take pictures, causing traffic jams and vehicles to drive in the wrong direction.
Wherever Xu Yuan went, chaos ensued below.
Although he returned to his original appearance, his height and physique changed.
But almost no one noticed this.
After all, the number of people who have never seen him far exceeds the number of people who have.
There are no photos or videos of him online.
Those people, whether they watched the live broadcast beforehand, heard about it after it happened, or saw it in the news, were all just repeating hearsay.
There wasn't even a single picture; we could only hear descriptions from others.
It's simply a matter of listening to the anchor, others, netizens, or the news.
Under that unprecedented and terrifying heat, all sorts of monsters and demons appeared.
Some people weren't even there, yet they confidently claimed to have seen this and that.
Some even claimed to be his classmate, his neighbor, or his girlfriend...
As for whether those people will be invited for questioning because of their careless remarks, that remains to be seen.
In short, a simple online search will yield dozens or even hundreds of versions of his physique and appearance.
Even those who had seen him at the scene before couldn't see him very clearly.
Because he either flew too fast or too high, and he never had close contact with people.
It cannot be captured by cameras yet.
Those present at the time could only see it with the naked eye.
Or use a telescope.
But who in their right mind would carry binoculars with them all the time?
Moreover, while telescopes can see far, they also limit the field of view to a very narrow extent.
Given his speed of movement, you might see him just once, and he'd be gone in the next instant.
Maybe it's better to just watch the show with your eyes.
It can be said that although there were many spectators at the time, only a very small number of people could see the game clearly.
On the internet, it's not even a ripple.
Currently, there are only five relatively consistent pieces of information about Xu Yuan online—
1. Male.
2. White mask.
3. Black cloak.
4. Flame-shaped red and black wings.
5. A flying sword.
And wings are undoubtedly the most eye-catching feature.
After all, he's currently the only human who can fly.
Therefore, when those flame-shaped wings swept across the sky again, no one thought it was anyone else.
People naturally assumed it was him.
……
"Traffic is completely paralyzed; it's beyond our control."
"I really don't know if these people are brainless. Their current behavior is like flies and mosquitoes buzzing around humans. If they anger the other party, they'll be in big trouble if they get hit by a sword."
"Well, it's the herd mentality; people are always blind."
"They won't understand how serious the consequences might be until the sword actually falls."
"This is an age of entertainment to the death..."
"That's insane."
"I can't believe we actually managed to get a shot this time."
"Since it's magic, there must be some cost, right? It's impossible to cast it 24 hours a day."
"Are there any restrictions, or is it because you don't want to waste your energy?"
"Possibly."
Several high-ranking Japanese government officials were watching the live broadcast in an empty conference room.
This incident has really blown up a lot.
It's not that the "unknown entity" has reappeared, but rather the previous incident of being shrouded in darkness.
It has attracted the attention of the whole world.
In particular, afterwards, the [unidentified entity] even engaged in combat with US fighter jets and shot down two of them.
These events have made headlines worldwide.
It can't be hidden or suppressed at all.
For the Japanese government, which had been trying to hide information and develop its own power base in secret, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.
Now, countries around the world are demanding an explanation from them, and their own citizens are also demanding an explanation.
Of course, the most important thing is how to explain it to the United States.
Specifically, it means—
How should one kneel to show sincerity?
How should one lick something so that Americans would find it more comfortable?
What kind of stance should a dog adopt to make it easier for the US to slap it?
The entire government is extremely busy with this.
It can be described as beset by internal and external troubles, and utterly exhausted.
However, upon hearing that the [Unidentified Entity] had reappeared, they still managed to squeeze out some time.
"I wish he were one of ours."
Someone couldn't help but sigh.
[Unclear] It is impossible to confront the entire United States, let alone the whole world.
But sometimes, threatening a country doesn't require confronting the entire country.
It is enough to pose a threat to only a few people.
Is the US president not afraid of death?
Aren't those tycoons, wealthy families, and powerful clans afraid of death?
Imagine, a superman who can fly and shoot down supersonic fighter jets all by himself, what a powerful trump card he would be in the hands of the government.
Of course, one must use it with discretion to avoid being easily attacked by a group of people.
However, there is no doubt that the "unclear identity" cannot be used by the government, which is a real pity!
Why doesn't he join us?
We can offer very favorable terms!
Just tell me what you want!
Money, power, beautiful women—whatever you want, we can give you!
Originally, the Japanese government wanted to arrest Xu Yuan.
Just like capturing other fantasy species.
They expressed their outrage after he wiped out the secret military base and several research facilities within it, including the Paranormal Phenomena Division.
Although at the time it was decided to change policy and adopt a more conciliatory approach to recruit the fantasy species.
But Xu Yuan was the only one excluded.
Because we cannot simply appease people; we must also establish our authority through force.
Otherwise, it would damage the government's image.
Now that Xu Yuan's strength has once again refreshed their understanding, they have forgotten about this and started thinking about whether they can recruit him.
The previous unpleasantness?
What's unpleasant?
A course on unusual phenomena?
What is that?
A secret military base?
That doesn't exist at all!
[Unidentified] is a law-abiding citizen!
This shift in thinking stems both from a reassessment of risks and benefits and from the rapidly deteriorating situation of the Japanese government.
Their original plans were completely disrupted by a single unexpected event, and the situation became a mess.
Actually, by this time, some clever people had already belatedly realized what was happening—
The waters here are too deep; they can't handle it.
It could even be said that no single country on this planet could control it alone.
The opportunities they imagined were so fragile that they couldn't withstand a sudden accident.
It's like the thin layer of ice on a lake in winter.
To think that one can cross the river using this method is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
after all--
Even without the appearance of the "unknown entity".
Even though the special phenomena class still exists.
But when darkness fell and the incident occurred, it became impossible to hide the truth any longer.
How much better off can Japan be than it is now?
Won't there be international pressure then?
Given Japan's situation, can it withstand international pressure?
Perhaps from the very beginning, the rise of the Great Japanese Empire was nothing more than a mirage, a flower in a mirror...
"[Unclear identity] What's going on here?"
"I don't know."
"By the way, is he really 'his true identity'?"
"Judging by his figure, he doesn't seem quite right."
"Hmm, is [Unidentified] long hair?"
"People on the magic side cannot be judged by common sense."
"Well, that makes sense. Sun Wukong's hair even grows longer and changes color when he transforms."
"There's also a transformation jutsu in Naruto."
"Similar abilities are quite common in magic, aren't they?"
"Perhaps the things they use are more proof of their identity than their appearance."
"It's best to judge based on fighting style, details, habits, and representative skills, etc., as these things are harder to fake."
"These fantasy species are such a nuisance."
"After all, he's someone who defies common sense."
"I can't see it clearly. Can't we switch to a clearer, more stable live stream?"
"Well, although [Unidentified Entity] wasn't flying at full speed, it wasn't slow either. This streamer... well, he's been left behind."
"Let's switch to another live stream."
Xu Yuan flew.
The road below is winding and twisting.
Therefore, even if those people ride motorcycles and speed recklessly, it's easy to lose them while chasing them.
Watching live streams requires constantly switching between different live stream rooms.
This is probably the first time in human history.
This overwhelming wealth has driven the live-streaming platforms ecstatic.
Suddenly, the popularity of a live stream surged.
It's from Asahi Shimbun.
A female reporter was seen with a parachute on her back, holding onto the helicopter door, and peering outside.
Then she turned her head to look at the camera.
The strong wind whipped her hair into a mess.
But her face was full of excitement: "Hello everyone! I'm Chiharu Nakashima from the Asahi Shimbun. Next, we're going to interview that man! Ah, I see him! I hope he doesn't cut me down with his sword..."
Several government officials were slightly taken aback.
"These reporters are fearless."
……
Yes, they're risking their lives.
Xu Yuan also thought these reporters were crazy.
He ignored them and walked past them.
The Asahi Shimbun helicopter quickly changed direction and chased after him desperately.
Unfortunately, their helicopters can only reach a top speed of around 100 kilometers per hour.
Soon, Xu Yuan disappeared from their sight.
Chiharu Nakajima was stunned, clutching the microphone.
The viewers in the live stream were also dumbfounded.
"No, you're just showing me this?"
"What is the reporter doing???"
"Fire him! What are you waiting for if you don't fire him?"
"Don't be so impatient, everyone. At least this is the clearest we've ever filmed."
"Indeed, the combination of distance and equipment is a great advantage."
"If you can't catch him, use a megaphone to shout! Do you expect him to stop and give you an interview?"
"The reporter is so silly (laughs)"
"What a disgrace to journalists!!!"
"Please calm down, everyone. Our reporter risked her life to take on this assignment!"
"Danger? What's dangerous about it?"
"With so many people filming along the way, if that person were violent, someone would have been dead already!"
"Some people just talk so easily."
"I just took a screenshot and estimated that he is over 180 cm tall and has a strong build. Although I can't see his face, I feel that he should be very handsome. His hair is very long, reaching his thighs."
"Wasn't that person who appeared earlier short-haired?"
"Could it be two people???"
"Please! Don't you even know how to transform?"
"A man with such long hair would be very conspicuous in modern society, right? If he usually has long hair, it would be easy to find out who he is. What's the point of wearing a mask? So he definitely doesn't usually have long hair."
"So this is phase two?!"
"If someone has magic, anything is possible. Let's wait for the government's explanation."
"From America. My God, he can really fly!"
"From Germany. Unbelievable! What happened today has completely overturned my understanding!"
"From China. I heard that person can control flying swords? He's clearly Chinese!"
Upon hearing this, the Japanese viewers in the live stream went wild.
Chinese?!
fart!
He's clearly Japanese!
How could the Japanese not be the ones capable of shooting down American supersonic fighter jets?!
Even if he is an elf, a demon, or a dragon, he is a Japanese elf, demon, or dragon!
"Please don't talk nonsense!"
"He's Japanese, thank you."
"He's definitely Japanese!!!"
"That's hilarious! You Chinese are going to steal this too?"
"He came all the way to Japan, pointed at a Japanese person and said he was Chinese... That's today's joke."
"Could you Chinese people be any more shameless?"
"This is Japan. Even from a purely probabilistic point of view, the probability that he is Japanese is far greater than that of someone from another country."
"He's definitely Japanese."
"It definitely can't be someone from China!!!"
"Get out, you Chinese! (Angry)"
"Getting anxious, hahaha! That's clearly sword control technique! Don't you guys understand?"
"I don't understand what you're saying. That's clearly just using magic to control a sword!"
"Speaking of which, wasn't the person who destroyed the Yasukuni Shrine also someone who controlled flying swords?"
"Huh? Is that so?"
"Is this a video of a press conference?"
"Heh, does that mean he's Chinese? There are plenty of Japanese people who dislike that shrine too!"
"That's right! I hate that place!"
"Yes, I hate that place now too!"
"...Xiao Rizi is really sick."
"Chinese people, stop daydreaming."
"Although I don't know who he is, didn't you see the other comic book characters that were photographed before?"
"Sato, DIO, the smiling Theresa, the invincible superman Furinji Hayato..."
"Characters from comics have come to life!"
"And this person is undoubtedly one of them! A character from a Japanese manga!"
"How could he possibly be Chinese?"
How many Chinese characters are there in Japanese manga? Are there any that fit the bill?
"You can tell he's not Japanese just by his height."
"You bastard! What did you say?!"
"You bastard, commit seppuku!"
"I'm going to kill you!!!"
"Get out, you Chinese people!!!"
"Oh, that's quite a noise. It's a pity that the guy has black hair, otherwise I would have said he was American."
"You could say he's an American of Chinese descent."
"Good idea."
"What's there to argue about? He's clearly Korean."
"Koreans, get out!"
"Get out of here, you Koreans!"
"The universe belongs to Korea. (laughs)"
Suddenly, a comment popped up.
"Stop arguing, that guy's been stopped! The one who stopped him is the invincible superman, Hayato Fuurinji, and it looks like they're about to fight!!!"
These words instantly ignited the entire audience.
