"Yu, everyone seems to be looking at you. Is that matter really okay?"
The next day, Nakano Yu and the Quintuplets were walking through Sobu High School. There were many students around who had seen the video online, and all of them looked at Nakano Yu with curiosity and indignation.
As for the incident where Nakano Yu became the target of internet trolls, Nino's friend told Nino about it yesterday morning. However, when the Quintuplets later tried to watch it, they found that the video was no longer available. But just by looking at the insulting comments, the Quintuplets had basically understood what Nakano Yu did in that video.
"It's nothing, just a bunch of idiots."
Nakano Yu shook his head. He couldn't even remember why he killed that family in the video.
It seemed that the family was secretly involved in organ trafficking, and in order to find a suitable organ for their Asian daughter, they targeted a little girl. Or was it for some other reason?
He didn't care much about such things and wouldn't remember them. After all, it was just something he did casually. The main reason was that the company of that family used improper means to compete with Maruo, and even tried to harm Maruo, so Nakano Yu went there once.
"Murderer! Don't you feel any remorse at all for doing such things?!"
At that moment, an average-looking boy dressed in flashy clothes suddenly jumped out, pointed at Nakano Yu's face and angrily condemned him:
"I know you're the son of a Japanese conglomerate, but no matter how powerful you are, you can't treat human lives like grass! Nakano-kun, I advise you to turn yourself in, otherwise…"
At that moment, while the boy was speaking, his heart was filled with excitement. He was already a moderately popular internet creator on a video platform, but his followers had dropped sharply in the past two days. When the Nakano Yu incident broke out, the boy got an idea.
Coincidentally, he and Nakano Yu attended the same Sobu High School. As long as he stepped out and condemned Nakano Yu, then turned around and posted the video online, if the reaction was good, he would directly start a livestream and insult him. Then his popularity would definitely reach its peak!
As for what would happen to Nakano Yu, what did it have to do with him? This world was based on exploiting others' misfortune anyway. He wasn't worried about what Nakano Yu might do to him. After all, this was a society under the rule of law. He didn't believe Nakano Yu would be so crazy as to publicly kill 273 people in broad daylight. At most, he would beat him up.
He had already set up the camera and arranged people. As long as Nakano Yu made a move, someone would immediately upload the video.
But just as the boy was making his plans, Nakano Yu looked at him indifferently and asked:
"Are you done?"
"I…"
The boy had just wanted to continue speaking, but as soon as the words left his mouth, the person who had been alive just now turned into a pillar of salt, lifeless.
"Wha… what just happened…?"
"Did he… did he kill someone?"
"Nakano Yu killed someone! Quick, call the police!"
"Teacher, get a teacher!"
After the boy turned into a pillar of salt, the gathered crowd fell silent. They couldn't understand how a living person had just turned into a pillar of salt. After the deadly silence, someone suddenly shouted that Nakano Yu had killed someone, and the scene immediately fell into chaos.
Chaos broke out as the crowd that had been watching the spectacle scattered. Some ran out of the school, while others rushed toward the teaching building, seeking help from teachers.
"You…"
Ichika looked at the pillar of salt and pulled Nakano Yu's sleeve.
She felt that Yu had changed. Or rather, had she never truly understood him?
Was the gentle young man the real Yu? Or was the young man in front of her, who took lives without blinking, the real Yu?
"It's just stepping on ants."
Nakano Yu's expression was cold. He looked at the phone set up in the corner, raised his hand and used Wind to pull it over, directly crushing it into pieces.
Nakano Yu naturally knew what the boy was thinking. That guy shouldn't have filmed Ichika and the Quintuplets earlier.
He didn't care about himself, but Ichika must not be exposed, nor could any of the Quintuplets!
They weren't ready yet. The Quintuplets, who had been raised by Reina since childhood, hadn't yet formed the concept that power is law. Nakano Yu wasn't sure what would happen if the Quintuplets were exposed online by that idiot and subjected to cyberbullying, and he didn't want to find out.
Ichika herself wanted to become a big star in Nihon. If there were negative news, it would affect Ichika's future.
"It's fine, I just turned him into a pillar of salt. He'll recover in a moment. Just a small punishment."
Seeing that Ichika's expression wasn't very good, Nakano Yu smiled slightly and told a kind lie.
"We're not going to school today. Let's go home."
Thinking that leaving the Quintuplets outside might cause trouble, Nakano Yu decided to send them home first.
"Okay."
The Quintuplets exchanged glances. Yotsuba responded and turned to leave.
However, as soon as they walked out of the school gate, Nakano Yu snapped his fingers, and three Moon God Envoys appeared.
"Deal with everyone who saw what just happened, and the corpse of that idiot."
Glancing at the Moon Rock Giant that appeared in Sobu High School, Nakano Yu thought to himself. He was synchronized with the Moon God Envoy and wasn't worried about targeting the wrong person. He waved his hand and closed the gate of Sobu High School.
Looking at the Quintuplets walking a few steps ahead of him, there was a trace of apology in Nakano Yu's eyes.
He had to finish all this quickly.
After Nakano Yu and his group got into the car and left, a series of screams echoed within Sobu High School. Soon after, two Moon God Envoys, stained with crimson blood, roared and rushed out of Sobu High School.
…
"Chief Tachibana, something's wrong!"
At the police station, a police officer rushed in panic.
"How many times have I told you? Remember to knock next time."
Tachibana Gen, who was dozing at his desk, heard the shouting and got up unwillingly. There had been too many things related to Nakano Yu in the past two days. Although adjustments had been made to keep the abnormal situation under control, it was estimated that this matter would slowly fade from people's sight after some time.
"Knock, knock."
Hearing this, the police officer was stunned, turned around, knocked on the door twice, and then quickly ran to Tachibana Gen.
Looking at his subordinate's foolish behavior, Tachibana Gen's forehead was covered with black lines, but seeing the dark circles under his subordinate's eyes, his desire to scold him largely disappeared.
"What happened?"
Taking a sip of already cold tea, Tachibana Gen looked at the officer and asked.
"This is today's report on public opinion control, and Nakano-sama just called and said…"
The officer placed the document on Tachibana Gen's desk, but when he mentioned Nakano Yu's call, he hesitated.
"What did that brat Yu say?"
Hearing that it was related to Nakano Yu, Tachibana Gen raised his eyebrow. Could it be that the brat had changed his mind and called to thank him?
"Nakano-sama said… to abandon public opinion control, gave us an address, and then…"
The officer stammered, recalling Nakano Yu's words, swallowed his saliva, and continued:
"Then he wants us to publicly acknowledge his existence and include the address!"
"Pfft!!!!"
Tachibana Gen spat out a mouthful of tea, looked at the officer in disbelief, then waved his hand and said:
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Does that brat know what impact his existence will have on the social system?!"
"If it's exposed, then demons, spirits, and all kinds of unexplainable things will come into the public eye. At that point, social unrest will definitely occur!"
Tachibana Gen absolutely did not support Nakano Yu exposing himself. This was the era of technology, and most people were influenced by materialism. But if something that technology couldn't explain appeared at this time, people's long-held worldview would collapse, and they could easily be manipulated by those with ulterior motives.
"But… the Tsuchimikado family has already issued a statement, revealing Nakano-sama's existence and declaring Nakano-sama as above ten thousand people among Kyoto Onmyoji. Should we… really do nothing?"
Seeing Tachibana Gen refuse so decisively, the officer said.
"…Don't those Onmyoji already cause enough trouble?"
After hearing the officer's report, Tachibana Gen fell silent. After searching and understanding the situation in Kyoto, he held his forehead and spoke.
He saw that that bastard from the Tsuchimikado family had indeed announced Nakano Yu's existence, but the entire statement did not mention the terrifying power Nakano Yu possessed. It only announced that Nakano Yu was a "twin star" and stated that the Tsuchimikado family would always support Nakano Yu and similar things.
Translated from professional jargon, the general meaning was:
"Nakano Yu is my boss. You keyboard warriors shut up. If you disagree, go find them in Kyoto."
Tachibana Gen felt that there was nothing wrong with such a statement, it just meant that the ordinary life Nakano Yu wanted was over.
No matter, let it be. His police station also needed to respond to this matter.
"Go, issue a statement in the name of the police station. First, describe in detail the evil deeds committed by the zaibatsu whose entire family Yu killed. If there are videos, release them. Push it strongly with traffic."
"Then, follow the trend and announce Yu's existence and status. Remember not to reveal Yu's special nature. Just attribute some random contributions to Yu."
After thinking for a moment, Tachibana Gen spoke. Since Nakano Yu demanded that his existence be made public, then let it be public. What they wanted to hide was Yu's world-destroying power, not the person himself.
"Yes, Chief Tachibana!"
The officer responded, then turned and ran out of the office.
"Yu, what are you trying to do?"
Sighing, Tachibana Gen muttered. Now he could only hope that a major chaos would not break out.
Soon, the announcements from the Tsuchimikado family and the police station caused a storm on the internet. For a time, public sentiment was surging.
Driven by those with ulterior motives, protests were on the verge of breaking out!
On Nakano Yu's side, after leaving Sobu High School, Nakano Yu did not rush home, but went to a landfill.
"Have you found the disaster blade?"
Sitting on the Wind, Nakano Yu asked the Moon God Envoy on the garbage mountain.
The Moon God Envoys kept searching and soon pulled out a rusty iron rod from deep within the garbage mountain. They hurried toward Nakano Yu as if offering a treasure, presenting the iron rod to him.
"Is this the disaster blade?"
Raising his eyebrow, Nakano Yu used Wind to lift the rusty iron rod. A system panel with the description of the disaster blade immediately appeared. However, Nakano Yu only glanced at it, finding that this thing didn't have powerful abilities, similar to Murasame, with poison on the blade.
Only…
Looking at the rusty iron rod, Nakano Yu felt that the poison was probably tetanus, right?
Without thinking much, the two divine artifacts needed to summon The Great God of Calamity had been found. Now it was up to those people to deliver themselves.
Nihon has a population of 125 million. Judging by Tachibana Gen's personality, if he asked him for 100,000 people, Tachibana Gen definitely wouldn't give them.
But if mindless keyboard warriors came to seek trouble themselves, that was not his concern.
Out of 125 million people, he could definitely gather 100,000 mindless ones. Summoning The Great God of Calamity would be easy, right?
Of course, Nakano Yu also had his own little idea about this matter. The day he kills the gods, the day he resolves all Tomie, that will be the moment he appears before the public eye.
