Chapter 514 The Mastermind Behind the Land of Light
A mysterious post, completely unrelated to the anime's content, quietly spread through the Land of Light's fan community in an almost absurd way.
The incident began with a post on the official forum of the Land of Light, in the "Tea Room" section.
The poster's ID was "[Working Overtime Today]", and their profile picture was the classic pixelated Ultraman Tiga from the Land of Light. They looked like an ordinary internal employee.
The post's title was ambiguous, carrying a sense of mystery and unspoken message.
"Have you noticed that the person who is actually in charge of things in the company doesn't seem to be Ah-Guang?"
The title itself is already eye-catching enough.
Since its founding, the Land of Light has always been perceived by the outside world as Yang Qian carrying the entire flag alone.
He handles everything from scriptwriting and storyboarding to company strategy, big and small.
He was so hands-on that he would even take a quick look at the company cafeteria menu whenever he had a spare moment.
Fans have been calling him A-Guang for almost a year, and they've long been used to the image of the person that this name represents.
Casual, generous, talented, and protective of his fans.
Occasionally, when you cut it open, the inside is all black, but at heart, he's a good boss who cares about everyone.
Now suddenly someone is saying, "The person who's really in charge isn't Ah-Kuang."
The novelty and impact of this argument are no less than someone posting on an anime forum saying, "Tiga is actually not a giant of light but a villain."
The content of the post is more intriguing than the title.
I wrote a message saying, "I'm working overtime today too."
"I've been in the Land of Light for more than half a year now. Projects come one after another, and overtime is the norm. But to be honest, the work atmosphere is great, my colleagues are easy to get along with, and A-Guang is very kind to everyone."
The only thing that gave me a little creeps was...
Whenever the department holds a meeting to discuss important decisions, there is always one figure sitting in the corner of the meeting room.
He never speaks, never makes any expression, just stares at you quietly.
That look in their eyes, how should I put it? It wasn't fierce, but it made you feel like all your thoughts had been read.
If you submit a perfunctory proposal, he will tell you with his eyes to redo it.
If you prepare carefully, he will nod slightly.
But the problem is... he never uttered a single word.
Never.
The post started on a new line after this paragraph, and the tone became more serious.
"What's even stranger is that I couldn't help but ask my direct supervisor once, who exactly is that person in the corner?"
The leader's expression changed, then he lowered his voice and said something to me that I still don't understand.
"Don't ask, that's the real boss, A-Guang is just in charge of the public image."
If you don't believe me, you can observe all the company's major decision-making documents; the signature section at the end doesn't list Ah Guang's name.
"I thought he was joking."
"If the boss of the Land of Light isn't Hikaru, then who is he?"
But later I actually went through a few publicly available project documents, and guess what I found?
In all the final signature fields, it wasn't Ah Guang who signed, but a symbol I'd never seen before.
The post ends abruptly here, leaving a meaningful blank space at the end.
The post spread much faster than the poster, "I'm working overtime today," had anticipated.
The post was shared on major social media platforms within two hours of being published.
The initial comments section was filled with skeptical and lighthearted banter.
"The original poster is probably hallucinating from working too much overtime. I suggest they apply for time off in lieu of leave."
"The Land of Light has a mastermind behind it all??"
"Screenshot taken, waiting for Ah Guang to come out and refute the rumors."
But as the discussion heated up, more and more evidence began to be dug up by netizens from all corners.
As they were pieced together, one by one, the resulting image made everyone feel...
Something's not right, something's really not right.
Someone dug up all of Yang Qian's personal social media posts from the past year and made a detailed collection of pictures.
Every photo in the collection has one thing in common.
Almost every shot taken in the Land of Light's office area will include a shadow.
Subsequently, more internal details were revealed by insiders.
An account claiming to be a former intern in the Land of Light's publicity team posted a comment under the post, which was quickly pushed to the top of the trending topics page.
"I interned in the Land of Light for three months. I can't say much else, but I can confirm one thing."
"Every time a new employee joins the company, after the HR staff gives them a tour of the office area, they will specifically take them to the door of a separate office and ask them to say hello to the person inside."
"At first I thought it was some senior executive, but later I found out that the office wasn't even inhabited by a person."
After this comment was posted, the comment section completely exploded.
"Wait a minute, so the first thing you do after joining the company is to pay respects to someone? Someone who's never even shown up before?"
"Think carefully about the corporate culture of the Land of Light: freedom, love, and belief in light, but no one has ever explained in public what the specific object of belief in light is."
I have a bold idea now: could this light not be an abstract concept, but rather refer to...?
"Shut upstairs!! If you keep talking, I'm afraid to sleep!!"
Just as public opinion was spiraling out of control, someone unearthed an even more damning piece of evidence.
During a previous live stream, Yang Qian was asked by a viewer, "What is the procedure for the Land of Light when making major decisions?"
Yang Qian's answer sounded like a joke, but when viewed in the current context, every word had a hidden meaning.
He said, "The process is that I first get the plan, take it to the meeting room and let the boss go through it. If the boss nods, we move forward; if the boss doesn't nod, we redo it."
If the boss doesn't give a clear answer, it means he's tacitly agreeing to do it, but he'll be held responsible if it goes wrong.
At the time, everyone thought the boss was Yang Qian making fun of herself, and the live chat was filled with comments like "Ah Guang is the boss himself".
But looking back now.
"Take it to the meeting room and show it to the boss."
"If the boss doesn't approve, we'll redo it."
"The boss's silence is an admission of consent."
......
If the post is true, then the boss Yang Qian mentioned is not himself at all.
By the third day of this discussion, the absurdity of public opinion had reached unprecedented levels.
Someone created a long infographic titled "A Complete Overview of the Mysterious Boss Incident in the Land of Light".
Starting with the original post "Working overtime again today," the article traces the process to mysterious signatures, private offices, onboarding greetings, and quotes from Miriam Yeung's live stream.
The logical chain is clear.
The long image also included a list of unsolved mysteries, which listed three questions.
Who is truly in charge, Ah Guang or this mysterious person?
Why does this signature have legal effect?
Who exactly is this mysterious person?
Surprisingly, the employees of the Land of Light did not make any clarifications regarding this topic.
Instead, she posted a cryptic message: "I got psychologically manipulated by my boss again today, but I can still go to work."
Even more outrageous is that this happened when employees of the Land of Light posted their daily updates.
People often find small notes stuck in the corner of some employees' desks.
It read: "Work hard today, or the boss will be unhappy."
