Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 442, Page 439: Spirit Bomb

Soon, Mishima Jack maneuvered the van and stopped it at the side entrance of the NHK Broadcasting Corporation.

Several armed militiamen emerged from the bushes; they were men arranged by Kagari Otonashi to provide backup.

“Jackson, these three kids are the ones we’re supposed to send to the radio station, right?” Qing Jiushun, the leader, stepped forward and tugged at the automatic rifle hanging around his neck.

“Yes, please.” Mishima Jack took three bulletproof vests out of the car and put them on the boys.

Then he took out a hunting rifle and cocked it with a click:

"let's go!"

"Everyone, the mission has begun, so stay alert!" Qing Jiushun waved to the others and ordered, "Cover these three kids as they head to the main broadcasting room!"

"Yes!" the other militiamen replied in unison.

A few days ago, the Shattered Dreams organization stormed the NHK Broadcasting Corporation and conducted a heretical nationwide broadcast.

Because of their experience from the first invasion, their second invasion went quite smoothly and they encountered no obstacles.

Moreover, most of Ryushin's forces were concentrated near Tokyo Tower at this time, and no one expected that the enemy would hijack the TV station again at this time. Therefore, the security forces inside the TV station were even weaker than last time.

Surrounded by militiamen, Suzuki Yuujin and his two companions climbed the stairs, recalling Kagari Otonashi's words:
[Hey you three, you've all heard of the "Spirit Bomb," right?]

[Time is tight. I need you, former friends of Makoto Kyushu—these were once despised scum, but have now been transformed—to give a speech in front of the entire nation.]

I want you to use your most sincere words to move people across the country and even the world, to tell them that Brother Red Army is not dead and that there is still hope.

As long as they don't succumb to the lies of that false god and continue to believe in hope and a bright future, they can gather the energy to bring Kyushu Makoto back to life and make him fight for them once more!

I know this won't be easy. But I believe you can do it. Because you are destined to be the "war chariot" paving the way for him, and I'm quite confident in my divination skills.

So brave young people, the responsibility of saving the world rests on your shoulders! Use your deepest friendship and affection to help him gather the Spirit Bomb!

Even after stepping into the first studio, Yuji Suzuki was still immersed in an incredibly absurd feeling.

What?! I'm supposed to give a speech in front of the whole nation? Like a superstar? Haha, this is ridiculous! This is an honor I could never experience in my entire life. And what about the Spirit Bomb? Brother Kyushu isn't a Super Saiyan, can he really be resurrected?

"Ready, kid?!" Mishima Jack's gruff voice interrupted his reverie.

"Oh!" Suzuki Yuujin took a step forward blankly, his mind blank.

"Oh, right, this is what Ms. Kagari prepared for you." Mishima Jack took out three bottles of silver-gray potion from his pocket and handed them to the three of them.

"This is..." Suzuki Yuujin's fingers twitched, and he didn't dare to take it.

"You should have heard of the [Sage's Elixir]," Mishima Jack said succinctly without further ado.

"The three of you can drink this before your speeches; it'll at least give you some courage."

"Hmm," both Yuji Suzuki and Takashi Karasawa hesitated.

They had indeed heard of this potion—it could grant users extraordinary strength in a short period of time, and improve their physical fitness in all aspects.

However, it also has side effects. If a person has poor drug tolerance, they may experience many side effects after taking it, and it is not uncommon for them to die on the spot.

"Give me!"

Genji Takatsuki stepped forward, grabbed a bottle of medicine, then pinched his nose, tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and gulped the medicine down his throat.

Genji Takatsuki arched his back, his body twitched uncontrollably a few times, and he made a few vomiting sounds.

"Drip—!" A drop of blood dripped from his nose, blooming into a small peony on the ground.

"Hey, Genji!" "Takatsuki-nii!" Suzuki Yuujin and Karasawa Takasho anxiously rushed over. After several heavy, deep breaths, Takatsuki Genji suddenly punched Suzuki Yuujin on the shoulder and then slapped Karasawa Takasho on the shoulder, his voice rough and hoarse:
"Get out of the way! I'll do it myself!"

He pushed the two aside and limped toward the podium.

"Damn it! Give it to me!" Suzuki and Tang Ze gritted their teeth and snatched the potion, drinking it down in one gulp.

The two women's bodies reacted differently, but both were slightly smaller than Genji Takatsuki's.

After drinking the potion, Suzuki Yujin suddenly felt a refreshing sense of enlightenment—like an immortal who had been imprisoned on the earth for a long time, finally breaking free from gravity and flying into the clouds.

In short—Hi!

He felt his courage surge, his mind became incredibly clear, and his fear almost vanished.

Tang Zegui's neck turned bright red, as if he were drunk. He was probably in a similar state.

They took a deep breath and walked together to the podium.

Although Kagari Otonashi had prepared a speech for them as a reference, their minds were so sharp at this moment that they were like gifted orators and writers, with countless words constantly popping into their heads, as if their brains would explode if they didn't speak them out.

Meanwhile, Chen Han was also making final preparations at the base—just like last time, hacking into the television broadcasting equipment of the entire nation and forcing them to switch channels to watch the speech.

Xiao Jing was also helping out. She had turned pale immediately after learning of Hong Zhongjin's death, and as Chen Han put it, she looked like she was about to die, only recovering a little just now.

"Um," Xiao Jing couldn't help but ask, "Is the story about reviving Cheng Ge fake?"

Chen Han paused, then sighed, "It's fake. We didn't intend to revive him, nor could we. Sister Goya was just fooling those three idiots to motivate them to give inflammatory speeches."

"Is...is that so?" Xiao Jing's heart sank, and she subconsciously bit her lip hard to prevent herself from having a strong emotional reaction.

"You're very sad, aren't you?" Chen Han glanced at her.

"No, no," Xiao Jing denied immediately.

"It's okay, just cry if you're sad~ You're just a kid anyway." Chen Han smiled wryly and said, "Just don't slow down your typing speed. You should hold it in until everything is over before you cry."

Xiao Jing frowned for a moment, and after a brief pause, she murmured, "He's clearly a child too, so why... doesn't he even have the right to cry?"

"Because that's reality!" Chen Han's tone became even more forceful: "Can't stand it? Do you think I find all this funny? I'm enduring this shitty reality too! If you really like him, then work hard for him too!"

【Oh dear~ It's not good to lecture a young girl like that, Mr. Chen~】 Kagari Yaon suddenly interrupted their conversation:
“Miss Zuo, I did lie to those three. I don’t have absolute certainty about reviving Brother Hongzhong—but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.”

Xiao Jing suddenly looked up: "Sister Gouye, what do you mean by this?"

"After death, the soul must wait at least seven days before leaving the body, unless the remains are destroyed beforehand. This is why there are many cases of people coming back to life in ancient times, while modern people prefer cremation," Kagari Otonashi explained.
“The Red Brother is a ‘living corpse,’ someone who is already dead but cannot be completely dead. He is different from ordinary people. Even in this form, there is still a possibility of him being resurrected.”

"I have a plan that might allow me to revive Hongzhong Xiaoge while achieving my goals."

“You are currently the best candidate to save Brother Hongzhong. However, I cannot guarantee the success rate of this plan, but it will require you to pay a deadly price—you may very well lose your life and all your investment.”

"If that's the case, would you be willing to join this project?"

Xiao Jing frowned, a conflict flashing in her eyes, and couldn't speak for a moment.

"No need to rush, you still have some time to think," Kagari Otonashi said gently.

"I don't intend to force you. After all, the success rate of this plan itself is not high, and I have no hope for it."

"So it doesn't matter what choice you make. Just call me when you've thought it through~"
