Chapter 58: The Script Point, Fifty Thousand

Just then.

"You say, is the video by the Deceased King real or fake? Could he have been at the scene back then?"

Someone, unknown, raised a question.

The students froze, falling silent.

Indeed, this video was not merely filmed at Yunhu Lake; it was clearly filmed inside Yunhu Lake, that is, within the Supernatural world, revealing content of Yunhu Lake previously unseen, extremely comprehensive.

It is hard to imagine how the Deceased King filmed it.

The doubt arose quickly and vanished just as fast.

A scream of shock.

"My heavens, look quickly!"

Yamada suddenly shouted, gesturing for everyone to watch the video immediately.

Everyone froze, lowering their heads to look at the video.

Wait!

Didn't the survivors return to reality, and the Lord of Demons head to the Ancient City...

The video hasn't finished playing?!

They saw that after the video showed the Lord of Demons going to the Ancient City, the progress bar had not reached the end, clearly telling everyone that the video was not over.

Could it be... this video has an Easter egg??

Immediately.

Under everyone's gaze.

The video scene changed, suddenly becoming a conference hall larger than the one at the video's start.

This conference room was not large, capable of holding over a hundred people, decorated luxuriously; the tables and chairs looked expensive just by sight; in every aspect, it completely crushed the Sakurada Group conference room.

The two were not on the same level.

Just as everyone watching the video guessed where the conference hall was.

Group after group of people entered the conference hall.

The history teacher's scalp went numb, and he screamed in terror:

"That is... Director Takahashi, Governor Ito, Minister Saito, and that one is a cabinet member..."

Every time someone entered the conference room, the bullet comments would explode.

【That is Governor Matsumoto!!】

【I have seen this person; he is the Chief of the Osaka Police Department!】

【Cabinet, that one is from the Cabinet.】

At this moment.

Everyone understood, completely clear on what kind of conference hall was in the video.

【This is the Government Headquarters Conference Hall!】

The truth was revealed.

At first, many did not believe it, thinking it was some face-swap special effect, swapping everyone's face with high officials from Japan's forty-seven administrative regions; however, as a certain bullet comment was posted, the Japanese high officials and the conference hall filmed in the video were both confirmed to be real.

【My heavens, this is the Government Headquarters Conference Hall; I can guarantee this is not face-swap; it is indeed the high officials gathering at the Headquarters Conference Hall. Don't ask me how I know, because I was among them!! Look quickly beside the Prime Minister, the guard following him, the one who followed the Prime Minister into the conference hall last and then stood guarding by the conference door, that person is me! If you don't believe it, check my information.】

The next second.

Countless hacker otaku mobilized, beginning to search for the poster of this bullet comment.

In less than a few minutes.

【I checked; the Mr. who just leaked the information is indeed that guard; this account was registered using that guard's ID card.】

【I also checked; the address from which the Mr. who leaked the information posted the bullet comment is that guard's home.】

【I confirm; the Mr. who leaked the information is indeed the guard, because I found the guard's home, am now knocking on his door, and the guard Mr. personally said he is the Mr. who leaked the information.】

For a moment, it stirred up a towering wave, a tsunami crashing.

Countless netizens exploded.

They never expected that a single video would allow them to see all of Japan's highest-level high officials gathering.

Wait!

High officials gathering?!

Everyone suddenly realized the key point of the video playing the conference hall.

Could this be the national meeting convened by the government regarding the Yunhu Lake incident?

As expected, with the Prime Minister's entry and everyone assembled, amidst the dense bullet comments in the video, the crowd found the second bullet comment posted by the guard who leaked the information.

【I swear on my character, my whole family, and my ancestors for eighteen generations that this is absolutely yesterday's meeting; UP owner, you are too damn crazy, broadcasting even a classified meeting; you... do you not want your life...?】

Huh!

Looking at this bullet comment, countless people were both thrilled and terrified.

Thrilled because they were fortunate enough to witness the secret meeting of the nation's highest political power gathering.

Terrified because the Deceased King was even more terrifying than imagined; he probably did not merely control the passage to the Supernatural world; he possessed some means to come and go anywhere without being discovered.

Perhaps.

The Deceased King might truly be a demon.

If not a demon, the Deceased King is most likely the legendary Extraordinary.

Looking at the meeting in the video, the filming angle was not fixed; it moved as the high officials entered, filming from multiple angles.

With various thoughts in their hearts, everyone looked at the video.

With this look.

Countless people turned pale.

They finally understood what Mr. Leak meant by "Is UP out of his mind?"

The meeting discussed the Yunhu incident in Arakawa Ward, involving confirmation of the existence of Supernatural beings and interrogation of the three survivors—exactly the meeting that began yesterday after Japan's Prime Minister returned from the United States.

Listening to Minister Saito's statements in the video, countless people were stunned, their hearts trembling violently.

【Even the three survivors said the ancient city's plaque bore the words "Heian-kyō"; the deceased king did not lie—the plaque's footage was real!】

【Supernatural beings truly exist!】

【Yao Suqian, Shuten-dōji… these great Supernatural beings were never just stories—they're real.】

In the classroom, the history teacher and students instinctively looked toward Tsuchimikado Xia Mei.

The confirmed content of the meeting further proved that Tsuchimikado Xia Mei's earlier speculation—that Yao Suqian governed the ancient city—was correct!

And it was possible Yao Suqian had moved Heian-kyō into the Supernatural world.

After this,

countless people listened as Japanese government officials discussed plan after plan kept secret from the public, each one forbidden to be leaked—any leak punishable as treason—and every one of them was horrified.

Superhuman gene research, Supernatural technology research…

One terrifying plan after another, straight out of a sci-fi movie, was decided upon, causing many to tremble and go mad.

When the Living Person Plan was proposed and unanimously approved, countless people turned their trembling into rage.

Human live-body biochemical experiments had always been banned by every nation—violating humanity, contrary to humanitarian principles.

No one spoke of this experiment without turning pale.

Now, the Ribenzheng Prefecture planned to launch human live-body biochemical experiments, sparking universal outrage.

The live comments flooded the screen, shifting from earlier insults against Sakura Group to condemnation of the government.

Because the Ribenzheng Prefecture held power, netizens dared not openly curse—but that didn't mean they held back; they all used veiled language to condemn and attack.

It was foreseeable that after this video was released, the Ribenzheng Prefecture would face immense public pressure.

If the video spread overseas, the Ribenzheng Prefecture would not only face domestic backlash but also international sanctions and condemnation, paying a terrible price.

Even after finishing the video, the people in the classroom continued to chatter.

Some discussed Yao Suqian, Shuten-dōji, and other Supernatural beings.

Others debated whether Japanese ancient history held unknown truths.

Among them, the most discussed topic was awe and speculation regarding the deceased king.

After watching the video, Kamikawa Mitsu checked the fan engagement.

The fan count had been 1.43 million; after he finished watching, it rose another 100,000, shares more than doubled, and views were beyond measure.

At this rate, the popularity would spread across all of Japan faster than ever before in history.

"Thanks to the meeting hall as an Easter egg," Kamikawa Mitsu murmured.

He knew this video spread so quickly because everyone who watched it forwarded it to others—due to the countless secrets it revealed, even the state's classified meetings.

As he spoke,

a cold system alert sounded instantly.
