The information held by Special Response Headquarters was actually even less than what Jiang Jian Yue knew.
As an organization hastily established, all they knew was that the boy named Yuki Asahi had confronted the monster head-on on the hotel rooftop.
And when the Central Emergency Company entered the scene, they found the monster’s fist embedded in its own skull, indicating suicide.
Other than Yuki Asahi, there was no one else at the scene.
There must be secrets about Yuki Asahi that they didn’t know.
But since he hadn’t even woken up at the time, they decided to set it aside for the moment.
A sleeping person couldn’t have just escaped—except he really did escape.
The strength of her own family was beyond Jiang Jian Yue’s imagination.
When Morita Aoya brought Yuki Asahi from the government to the apartment, Jiang Jian Yue was stunned.
What exactly does my family do?
And why did you bring him back!?
Morita Aoya had clearly misunderstood Jiang Jian Yue’s intentions.
He thought the young lady had developed feelings for the boy, so he took it upon himself to request the boy from the government.
Who knows which official made the decision to let him go—traitor, absolute traitor!
Switching through several channels, the TV was still reporting on the “Ikebukuro Incident.” Feeling bored, Jiang Jian Yue moved to the computer.
She checked the time out of habit and realized it had jumped forward a few more days—it was time for the third episode to update.
Jiang Jian Yue guessed that it took about a whole episode’s worth of main perspective content for the computer’s time to jump forward and update.
So… if a week passed in the anime world, but the next episode wasn’t fully filled in yet, what would happen?
Would she be able to foresee the future?
She clicked on the third episode and noticed it was more than ten minutes longer than the second.
Others in the comment barrage noticed this too:
[Deadbeat, why is today’s episode so long]
[It’s not a TV animation anyway, variable runtime is normal. Actually, the second episode was just too short]
The opening scene was of an embryo that looked like a mammal, but with insect-like features on its surface.
A male narrator’s voice slowly began to explain.
Heart Worm, the source of all abnormal abilities.
Every person on Earth is born with a Heart Worm, but most people never awaken it in their lifetime.
Awakening isn’t necessarily a good thing.
When the Heart Worm awakens and becomes a “Parasite,” it can grant abilities beyond the ordinary, but some Parasites come with side effects.
Auditory hallucinations, paranoia, mental collapse.
Some Parasites even affect reality, causing phenomena like leading others into labyrinthine traps.
Some urban legends appeared this way.
Unstable Parasites inevitably lead to destruction, manifested as grotesque mutations in the host’s flesh.
This stage is called Tunjiti—the “monster” of common perception.
A stable Parasite, however, can undergo metamorphosis through a certain trigger, evolving into a Superpower User in the broad sense, capable of freely manipulating its own dispersed energy.
Clatter——
A scene of a superhero wearing underwear over tights was suddenly covered by a pile of falling documents.
A purple-haired young man sprawled onto the papers, frantically gathering them up.
“Hey, newbie, don’t panic!”
A cheerful voice came from off-screen.
The purple-haired young man’s cheeks flushed as he quickly apologized.
After organizing the stack of documents, he sat at his workstation.
He turned on the computer, and the desktop wallpaper displayed: [Internal Computer, Do Not Leak Information]
On the wallpaper was a simple logo: GPRI.
Someone passed by and placed a stack of documents on his desk.
“Newbie, I’m counting on you.”
“Yes!”
The purple-haired young man stood up and bowed.
A close-up showed his energetic face, before the scene sharply shifted to a weary, balding middle-aged man.
At the computer, Jiang Jian Yue was drinking water and nearly choked.
This handsome purple-haired young man and the balding uncle Kuninori Tsuruoka were the same person?!
[This is the power of work]
[Is this my future too? No way!]
[Wrong, you weren’t this good-looking when you were young]
The following plot mainly showed how Kuninori Tsuruoka was in charge of the “Devourer G” project at GPRI, but one day, all his Assistants were transferred away.
Almost everyone at GPRI was being sent to carry out a mysterious plan called “Crimson.”
Each global base kept only the minimum number of people needed to maintain basic functions.
Kuninori Tsuruoka was one of the people left behind.
He was also told that if they lost contact for over forty-eight hours, the base’s self-destruct system would automatically activate.
And of course, the unexpected happened.
The disconnection lasted over forty-eight hours.
Without receiving the key, the self-destruct system activated.
Kuninori Tsuruoka escaped the base with only two boxes of insects.
He remembered that due to the danger level, the containment area for Devourer G had undergone an independent security upgrade.
The old self-destruct system was likely only able to destroy the containment area, not eliminate Devourer G.
So he set his sights on Yuki Asahi, who had long been marked by GPRI… and thus the story began.
The perspective switched back to the main timeline, starting the plot from when the two of them were on the train.
[Why are they so relaxed?]
[The plot is progressing so fast, this woman is definitely hiding something]
[Little Chunan can’t handle this]
Painful—because of the theme song, she was already classified as a villain character.
The scene where Jiang Jian Yue spoke Chinese caused a flood of comments, piquing her interest.
Her supposed voice actor in the animation actually spoke that line in Chinese?
She could be sure that such a voice actor probably didn’t exist in the real world.
The comments speculating whether Jiang Jian Yue was evil and discussing Ohnishi Kaori’s appearance were instantly drowned out by the discussion over the Chinese dialogue—
[Xianglin apple? That’s really fragrant]
[Oh my bean, can you really hear this kind of Chinese in Japanese anime?]
[Definitely a good person]
[There’s a bit of an accent, but it’s cute]
[But why did she suddenly speak Chinese?]
[Could she be an exchange student, from my Old Jiang family]
[No, her name is Jiang Jian (emi) Yue (tsuki)]
[Wow, that accent sounds so familiar, was this really voiced by a Japanese person?]
[Pervert]
[Senpai, suki]
[Otosan, I’m already a chongguo person, I’ve even gained chongguo citizenship]
[Such a cold pun]
[Pun king]
[I can already foresee that there will definitely be more puns on Yue and liking]
Jiang Jian Yue was speechless, black lines all over her face.
She pressed the arrow key to fast-forward a bit.
Next came a series of scenes involving dining, an attack, and Kuninori Tsuruoka’s capture.
[So how did the young lady know how he launched the attack?]
[Of course, she watched the second episode!]
It was true.
The scene of Kuninori Tsuruoka’s breakdown drew much praise for the voice actor…
Jiang Jian Yue knew it was pure emotion—how could the performance not be good?
There was a side story about Fengzhou Market and a dramatic appearance of Devourer G.
[The Type 20 Rifle is drawn so meticulously]
[Has this gun been issued yet?]
[Fengzhou Market is that place where the bespectacled tax-hiker eats radiated food]
Then came the scene measuring dispersed energy.
The public opinion, which had flipped due to the Chinese dialogue, flipped back again.
[Hmph, demon!]
[I knew you weren’t human!]
[Non-human emi pervert, vanilla]
She reported a few frenzied comments.
Jiang Jian Yue considered whether she should use a disguise and try [B-limited Chinese Learning].
It seemed that the Little Chunan of the domestic community quite enjoyed this.
