Chapter 94: My name isn't Aizen, it's Xu Feng

Inside a cinema in Paris, France.

Just as Fan Shi finished buying tickets and was preparing to enter the theater with his wife, he suddenly heard a discussion in Mandarin coming from nearby:

"Batman v Superman is also showing today, should we watch that one first?"

The woman spoke first; she sounded like she was in her early twenties.

"Oh, no, we're here to support our fellow countrymen this time. Let's watch Death Note first."

Standing beside the young woman, a man with a slightly round belly replied in Mandarin.

Fan Shi and his wife subconsciously frowned.

Why did that voice sound so familiar?

After carefully scrutinizing the man wearing the mask for a long while, Fan Shi exclaimed:

"Holy crap! Jay Chou!?"

The next second, both of them looked excited and wanted to step forward to ask for an autograph.

But the bodyguards, who had long been hidden in the crowd, quickly stepped forward and blocked the two like a wall.

"Are you from the Dragon Kingdom?"

Seeming to have heard the two call his name just now, Jay Chou took the initiative to walk over. Under the excited gazes of Fan Shi and his wife, he took out a ballpoint pen and signed for them.

"Th-that, Jay, are you here in France to find inspiration for your new album?"

Fan Shi suppressed his inner excitement, his face flushed red as he spoke.

Jay Chou blinked, "Uh... you could say that."

For now, he still wanted to save face and didn't have the heart to say, "It's not that I'm not releasing an album, it's just that I'm busy playing."

Immediately after, Jay Chou waved at the two and left with his young wife, who was fifteen years his junior.

He wouldn't buy tickets like Fan Shi did.

He had simply booked an entire screening hall.

Sitting in the center of the vast screening hall with his wife-to-be.

Jay Chou finally took off the mask on his face, revealing a face that hadn't yet become severely bloated.

Well, it would take another two years for him to fully evolve into "Milk Tea Jay."

"Xu Feng is even more popular than you are back home right now."

Kun Ling sat beside him and teased with a chuckle.

"That's because I haven't released an album."

Jay Chou retorted stubbornly.

Kun Ling couldn't help but roll her eyes. An album?

In any case, she didn't believe Jay Chou could pull one together within five years.

Recently, the two had been busy choosing a wedding church, and after that, they still had to go on their honeymoon and prepare for the baby.

After the whole process, at least a year or two would have passed.

He had previously fooled the media by saying the new album was already half finished.

In reality, only Kun Ling and a few of Jay Chou's close acquaintances knew the truth.

This guy hadn't written a single word!

At this moment, the entire screening hall began to dim.

The giant screen lit up accordingly.

The logos of sponsors like NetEase, Tencent, and Alibaba flashed by one after another.

The familiar sponsors, production companies, and... the logo of the 2D Film and Television Company, followed by the big words "A Film by Director Xu Feng"!

The scene began with a desolate land filled with skulls.

Among a group of hellish creatures whose appearances would make one's skin crawl, there was one who was burly but looked as if he only had a layer of skin stretched over his bones.

Two giant eyeballs protruded halfway out of their sockets, as if they were about to fall out at any moment. The monster sat on a pile of skulls, quietly staring into the distance.

"Hey! Ryuk, what are you doing over there? Why don't you come over and play with us for a change?"

At this time, several other monsters in the back, who were playing cards and looked equally terrifying, shouted.

"......No, I'll pass."

The monster with the protruding eyes replied indifferently.

The screen gradually dimmed, but in less than a second, the camera cut away.

Xu Feng was wearing a school uniform, supporting his face with one hand, sitting in a classroom and quietly listening to a lecture.

"So handsome!"

Kun Ling exclaimed subconsciously.

The next second, noticing her husband's sour face, she smiled awkwardly.

Jay Chou had a dark face; this was the reason he had never become friends with Xu Feng.

Damn it, couldn't he be a little uglier?

And in the neighboring screening hall, Fan Shi's mood was much the same as Jay Chou's.

Let alone in the Dragon Kingdom, even the group of French ladies at the scene couldn't help but let out suppressed screams.

Especially seeing his own wife beside him captivated by another man.

That feeling... was really miserable.

The plot continued; the teacher on stage called up Light Yagami, played by Xu Feng, and asked him to translate a passage of text into Mandarin.

It had to be said that Xu Feng still tried his best to incorporate elements from his own country.

The beginning of the story showcased the protagonist's image as an honor student.

And after the school bell rang.

Light Yagami put Bluetooth earphones in his ears and stepped onto the road home.

The news broadcast in the earphones reached the audience's ears:

"At 11:00 AM today, in an apartment in the Manhattan district of New York, a male corpse, approximately 30 years old and covered in blood, was discovered..."

"Next news item: a 25-year-old woman living in the Boston district of Sutton State was sexually assaulted and murdered. The criminal suspect is a 35-year-old man, Thompson..."

Listening to the news in his earphones, Light Yagami's eyes were filled with annoyance and contempt, and he thought to himself:

"Every day, every day... the same things repeat."

Plop~

Just as Light Yagami was about to walk out of the school gate, the sound of something hitting the ground suddenly rang out.

Light Yagami looked to the side and saw a notebook, black all over, lying on the lawn next to the school gate as if it had fallen from the sky.

Filled with curiosity, Light Yagami walked over and picked up the notebook.

"DEATH... NOTE?"

Light Yagami whispered the name on the cover.

He opened the cover and whispered the content on the first page:

"The human whose name is written in this note shall die..."

"Boring."

Just after reading this, a contemptuous smile appeared on Light Yagami's face, and he threw the notebook back onto the lawn, preparing to leave.

"This society is really sick..."

Just as Light Yagami was about to turn around and leave.

For some reason, he felt a sense of unease in his heart.

In the end, he turned back, picked up the notebook, and took it home.

"Seriously... what am I thinking?"

Sitting at his desk, Light Yagami took off his school uniform and read the instructions on the first page again...

"The writer must have the person's face in their mind when writing their name, so people sharing the same name will not be affected."

"If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen. If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack."

"After writing the cause of death, details of the death can be written in the next 6 minutes and 44 seconds."

After reading the notebook's instructions, Light Yagami couldn't help but sneer:

"So that means I can decide whether the target dies easily or painfully? Designing such a detailed prank, this person is really bored enough."

After speaking, Light Yagami prepared to casually throw the notebook into the trash can nearby.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but pick up a ballpoint pen and move it closer to the pages of the notebook.

"Wait, if they really die, wouldn't I become a murderer?"

However, just as Light Yagami was about to write a name, he began to hesitate again.

At this moment, the news on Light Yagami's phone suddenly reported:

"The criminal who attacked six innocent passersby in Boiling City yesterday is currently holed up in a classroom at XX Elementary School, holding six children and one teacher hostage, and is in a standoff with the police. According to the New York police, the perpetrator has been identified as a 42-year-old unemployed middle-aged man, Mike..."

Hearing the on-site reporter's broadcast, Light Yagami finally, with the mindset of giving it a try, wrote "Mike" in the notebook.

"40 seconds, die of a heart attack, right?"

Light Yagami watched the watch on his wrist, counting the time.

Unknowingly, the audience in the screening hall also began to grow nervous.

Soon, the 40 seconds in the movie plot passed quickly.

"As expected, nothing happened..."

Light Yagami shook his head and prepared to turn off his phone.

"Wait! Something is happening!"

Just at this moment, the news reporter on the phone screen shouted:

"The hostages, the children and the teacher, are running out! The police have rushed in, what's going on?"

"Huh?"

Light Yagami's movements stalled.

Immediately after, the reporter on the screen received a notification via radio and then broadcasted to the camera:

"Latest news from the police who entered the scene! The criminal is dead!"

"According to the hostages' testimony, the police did not shoot the criminal. For some reason, the perpetrator suddenly collapsed and died!"

"What!!??"

Light Yagami's eyes widened, staring in disbelief at the name he had written in the notebook a minute ago.

"This premise is quite interesting!"

Seeing this, Jay Chou couldn't help but lick his lips and take two big gulps of the milk tea he had bought beforehand.

And many viewers around the world, excluding those in the Dragon Kingdom, couldn't help but sigh at this moment.

Is this the basic premise of this movie?

As expected of Aizen; although the movie has just begun, it has already displayed such unconstrained imagination.

Xu Feng says, "My name isn't 'Hey', my name is Chu Yu... oh no, wait, my name is Xu Feng!"

Can you stop calling me Aizen, please?
