20demayo Chapter 46 Da Qiao and Zeppeli
Chapter 46 Da Qiao and Zeppeli
"Someone actually took a picture."
Xu Yuan clicked on a short video.
The video appears to have been filmed from a great distance and looks very blurry.
But you can still roughly see what's going on.
It records the scene from the press conference.
After glancing at it, he clicked on the comments.
"Is AI this powerful now?"
"Wow, amazing! It looks just like the real thing!"
"Didn't you all see the news? Something did happen at the press conference, but the official statement is that Representative Koizumi suddenly fell ill and was taken to the hospital."
"Sudden illness... (laughs)"
"It looks like his head is severed in the video, so he probably can't be saved, right? (laughs)"
"Isn't it inappropriate to joke about something like this?"
"What is that? It looks like a sword?"
"It's too blurry, isn't there a high-definition version?"
"It's precisely because it's ambiguous that it's believable!"
"It looks like it was taken from a very far place."
"Is this fake? Didn't the media all say that Representative Koizumi suddenly fell ill, and the press conference was abruptly canceled?"
"The reporters present were definitely screened. If the government doesn't allow them to speak, would they dare to?"
"I bet the cameras have all been confiscated (laughs)."
"Speaking of which, the government not only prohibited people from approaching the Yasukuni Shrine after it was destroyed, but also covered up the ruins. That's strange! What's wrong with looking at ruins?"
"I know, I know! Some nearby residents heard the noise and went to check. I've seen the photos they took, and it doesn't look like it was caused by an explosion at all!"
"Ah, I've seen the photos too, and it certainly doesn't look like the explosion the officials described."
Where can I view the photos?
"It's probably gone by now. (laughs)"
"Huh?! That's suspicious~~~"
"Damn it! This must be a Chinese conspiracy!"
"The only people capable of doing something like this are either Chinese or Koreans. People from these two countries always harbor inexplicable hostility towards Japan."
"Because Japan once invaded them, right?"
"Invasion? Aren't we going to help them? That's what the books say."
"The winner takes all, the loser is condemned."
"Tap tap open! Tap tap open!!!"
"The Chinese government must give all Japanese people an explanation regarding the Yasukuni Shrine incident! (Angry)"
"That's right! We must stand firm! Never compromise!"
"We don't even know who the murderer is, and there's no evidence."
"They must be Chinese!"
"Exactly, who else could it be but a Chinese person?"
"And the murderer? Don't you all think there's something strange about this whole thing?"
"The world feels so strange lately. A while ago, a boy in my class who always bullied the other students disappeared. The police investigation revealed that he was involved in a cult..."
"Another missing person case? There have been a lot lately."
"The police are as incompetent as ever. Where did their momentum from wiping out the 'Dentist Gang' go?"
"The Japanese police are nothing but a bunch of fat pigs who live off our tax money."
"Another day of mocking the Japanese police (laughs)."
"A curse! A curse! It's a curse!!"
"Terrible~~~ Curses or something~"
Xu Yuan casually flipped through the pages and then left.
This video will probably be deleted soon.
After all, the Japanese government is covering up the situation.
They're probably extremely busy right now.
In fact, he could have let Mount Tai cut through him in one stroke and then leave without stopping.
In that case, given the speed of a flying sword, it would be very difficult to capture anything in a video taken from a distance with a mobile phone.
It would be much easier for the Japanese government to cover up the situation.
But he didn't do that; instead, he let Mount Tai hover in front of everyone for a while.
There wasn't any particular reason.
He just wanted to cause some trouble for the Japanese government so they wouldn't keep an eye on him.
As for whether the public will become aware of the fact that his fantasy has invaded reality, Xu Yuan doesn't care.
Why is he worrying about this on behalf of the Japanese government?
As for the system, Xu Yuan originally thought it would stop him, but it didn't.
Perhaps it's because the fact that fantasy is invading reality is becoming increasingly difficult to conceal.
When ghouls, parasites, and demons still existed, they all ate people.
Does no one in society notice them?
In addition, Xu Yuan has now advanced to the third rank.
He knew perfectly well that if two third-tier beings were to fight, unless the battle took place deep in the mountains or was a one-sided, overwhelming battle, it would cause a huge commotion.
In this information age, it's almost impossible to hide.
However, compared to these purely military forces, the biggest bombshell in Japanese society right now is actually Hell Communication.
In this country, even a small club in a school must clearly define hierarchy and social status.
When a junior meets a senior, he or she should bow and greet him or her loudly; otherwise, it will be considered disrespectful.
In the workplace, superiors often train their subordinates like dogs.
The atmosphere in Japanese society is very oppressive.
In addition, the Japanese are known for their contradictory and inconsistent personalities.
Their culture in this respect is completely contrary to that of China.
Chinese people value consistency between words and deeds, and have a particularly low opinion of those who are inconsistent in their words and deeds.
The Japanese, on the other hand, believe that as long as things appear okay on the surface, it's fine.
Therefore, many Japanese people who are usually cautious in their words and actions and seem very polite and amiable will become completely different people once they go online where no one knows them.
For example, anonymous forums like 2ch.
It contains many extreme statements.
But on platforms like Facebook that require real-name registration, people tend to behave more formally when speaking.
A repressive social atmosphere can easily breed resentment.
What are the rules of Hell Communication?
Those who harbor resentment can log onto the Hell Communication website at midnight.
Write the name of the person you resent on it.
Click send.
Enma Ai will then appear.
She would give the messenger a scarecrow.
A red rope was tied to the scarecrow.
Once the communicator unties the red string, they will sign a contract with Enma Ai.
She will banish those whom the communicator hates to hell, and in return, the communicator will go to hell after death.
It is worth mentioning that Hell Communication makes no distinction between good and evil.
Although it talks about eliminating resentment and that harming others will ultimately harm oneself, this thing is just a curse system.
Good people can use it to exile evil people, and evil people can also use it to exile good people; there is absolutely no concept of rewarding good and punishing evil.
Enma Ai, the working-class girl, was still being coerced.
The only winner in the whole process might be the Lord of Hell.
After all, it was its idea that came about.
Unless it was just a random thought on a whim, it must have a purpose.
Closer to home.
Those who are exiled to hell will disappear.
Humans are social animals.
Especially in the information age, the sudden disappearance of a living person can easily attract attention.
How long can things like this be covered up?
Moreover, the scarecrow can be left unused.
If you are afraid, you can return it to Enma Ai.
But the memory doesn't disappear.
With this mechanism, Hellcom is clearly a ticking time bomb.
Unfortunately, these kinds of ghost stories are very easy to spread in private.
Perhaps when its reach reaches a certain threshold, this bomb will explode.
At that time, large numbers of people will likely die.
By the way, will Enma Ai die from overwork at that time?
There are over 80 billion people in the world.
How much resentment exists among human beings!
If we send them to hell one by one...
We can't possibly finish sending them all out, there's just no way we can finish sending them all out.
Will we have to queue up for Hell Communication then?
After thinking it over carefully, Xu Yuan put down his phone.
Continue to delve into your own soul power.
With his current soul strength, he can extend his soul power 300 meters outside his body.
He controls the sword with his soul power, so the range of his control is naturally within a radius of 300 meters.
The area is approximately 28 square meters.
300 meters is not a long distance, but with the speed of the flying sword, which is difficult for ordinary people to detect, it is enough to make people look like ghosts in a city full of buildings.
However, he also discovered that soul power could be compressed and condensed.
Although it is somewhat strenuous and consumes a lot of energy, it can be condensed into a single line, breaking the 300-meter limit.
Xu Yuan became so engrossed in his research that he lost track of time.
By the time he came to his senses, it was already late at night.
I picked up my phone and checked the time; it was almost midnight.
This piqued his interest, and he curiously searched for "Hell Communication" online.
Click to enter when the time reaches midnight.
A completely black webpage appeared.
The webpage displays the message: "I will eliminate your resentment."
Below is an input box.
Below the input box is the "Send" button.
Oh wait, there's another line of text at the very bottom of the page.
This site is a fan-built website.
"Isn't this the real Hell Correspondence?"
Xu Yuan closed the webpage.
That's true, he doesn't have anyone he resents.
Putting his phone away, Xu Yuan looked at the [Parasyte Larva - Modified] on the bedside table.
He was considering how to handle it.
How about trying to parasitize a fantasy creature?
When he killed Kirishima Touka, he also killed a middle-aged male glutton.
That glutton didn't disappear after he died.
Because he is a person from the real world.
She's just been transformed into a foodie.
Moreover, not only did the corpse not disappear, but even the parts of the corpse that belonged to the gluttons did not disappear.
During the raid on that military base, Xu Yuan also saw the corpse in the Special Phenomena Department and destroyed it without hesitation.
In short, it seems that after "localization" is completed, things from the fantasy world can be preserved.
It will not necessarily turn into points of light and disappear.
The [Parasyte Larva - Modified] obtained from the treasure chest definitely belongs to this world.
So, what about the organisms it parasitizes?
Does parasitism count as "localization"?
Xu Yuan thought about it for a moment and decided that he could give it a try.
With that in mind, he opened the bounty panel.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a suitable one after searching around.
Holding the [Parasyte Larva - Modified] in front of him, Xu Yuan carefully read its description again.
"...After the modification, the dietary habit of only feeding on the same species as the host was eliminated, the vitality was enhanced, and it can still survive for a short period of time after leaving the host. Its loyalty to the person who awakens it is always 100%."
"Its vitality has been enhanced, and it can still survive for a short period of time after leaving the parasite."
"System, does this mean it can change hosts?"
If a host cannot be replaced and the person can only survive for a short period of time, what is the point of the modification?
Yes, modified parasites can change hosts.
"Oh." Xu Yuan nodded.
It was a revolutionary transformation.
In the anime, once a parasite begins to parasitize another creature, it matures rapidly.
Once mature, it can no longer parasitize other things.
This is also why Shinichi's parasite, Migi, did not continue to take over the brain of Shinichi's right hand.
But the one he had was different; it was a modified version.
Since we can change hosts, things become much simpler.
Xu Yuan opened the window, jumped out, and returned a few seconds later, still holding a crow in his hand.
These things are everywhere in Tokyo.
Next, he activated the hibernation device.
With a soft hissing sound, a puff of white mist escaped from the box.
After about a minute, the slender worm in the box began to slowly wriggle and quickly became agile.
It is clear that it has fully awakened.
Xu Yuan reached out his hand to it, and the worm jumped onto his palm, appearing quite quiet.
The parasite larvae are very intelligent.
Xu Yuan gestured to the crow he was holding in his other hand, and it darted away in a flash.
Then it crawled into the crow's beak.
Immediately afterwards, the crow that had been struggling in his hand stopped moving, but it was not dead.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan released his grip.
It flapped its wings and flew crookedly around the room.
A minute or two later, it had completely mastered flying.
It then slowly landed on Xu Yuan's shoulder.
"I'll call you Little Crow," Xu Yuan said.
Upon hearing this, the crow's head suddenly split open, turning into a lump of flesh, from which grew an eye and a beak.
"Little... crow? I'm not... very... good at talking yet, Master."
"Oh, it's nothing," Xu Yuan said.
Parasites have a strong learning ability.
In the animation, it only took Migi one night to go from barely being able to speak to communicating fluently.
"From now on, except when you're fighting, you should stay in your crow form," Xu Yuan added.
The meat chunks deform at will, and things like eyes, mouths, and hands will grow out of them randomly.
Well... it looks kind of disgusting.
……
Ten days later.
Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, amidst skyscrapers.
The streets were deserted.
An old man and a young boy suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The young man had blue hair and was a tall, burly man, standing at least 1.95 meters tall.
What's striking is his physique.
He was all muscle and exuded explosive power; his thighs were thicker than an average person's waist.
The older man had a mustache, wore a white suit, and a black and white checkered top hat.
Both of them, regardless of who they are, are dressed in a way that is out of step with modern people.
"Mr. Zeppelin!"
The young, burly man looked around in astonishment: "Where...where am I? Weren't we just by the river?! Where's Alina? Where did Alina go?"
"JOJO! Don't panic!" Will A. Zeppeli said in a deep voice, "Ask questions one at a time."
He paced slowly, carefully observing his surroundings.
"It seems this isn't England anymore. How strange, I've traveled all over the world, yet I've never seen a place like this before. What is this place...?"
"This is Japan."
A voice suddenly answered him.
The two were startled upon hearing the sound.
Suddenly, a masked man appeared in the arena.
They didn't even know how he got there.
"Da Qiao and Zeppeli."
Xu Yuan looked at the two of them.
This time, within the same fantasy world, two spatial nodes appeared.
Could the other one be DIO?
At this moment, Da Qiao and Qi Beilin had already assumed a fighting stance, looking at Xu Yuan warily: "Who are you?"
They had no choice but to be vigilant.
The appearance of this man was extremely strange.
Xu Yuan looked at them, thought for a moment, and said, "You don't need to know who I am."
"How about we make a deal?"
"You teach me the Ripple Technique, and I'll help you kill DIO."
"Of course, I'll kill you all afterwards."
