Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

"The Past and Present Life of the Neon Sword Saint"

"The true identity of the murderer in the castle case revealed!"

These sensational headlines quickly attracted a large number of people to buy them, since the castle murder case, like the hijacking incident, was currently the top trending topic and had even become a major international event.

It's important to understand that plane crashes alone are enough to attract international attention. When you add in the power struggles and conspiracies involving several major powers, they become even more captivating.

The same goes for the castle murder case; whether out of curiosity or a desire to uncover the truth, everyone wants to know the truth.

Countless people, filled with intense curiosity, wanted to uncover the truth of the whole affair through media reports.

After purchasing these newspapers, a name that was almost unknown to the public came into view: Miyazaki Hayao.

Not only print media, but even online media are joining in the fun, with all sorts of clickbait headlines popping up everywhere.

"The truth behind the bloody slaughter, the conspiracy of extraordinary powerhouses!"

"The Provocation Behind the Hijacking: The Correct Interpretation of Great Power Friction!"

"Come and see the truth! If you don't share this, you're not American!"

These reports offer a new perspective on the hijacking case: the entire case has absolutely nothing to do with the US government, and the so-called hijackers on the plane were actually FBI investigators on a secret mission back home.

It was Miyazaki Yu, the Japanese swordsman, who deliberately created this incident. He forcibly injured many investigators on the plane and brutally shot them all with a pistol, causing the deaths of several investigators!

To corroborate this, the surviving investigators all spoke with one voice, and in particular, all the passengers on the plane at the time strongly agreed with this fact.

The report also pointed out that after committing the crime, Miyazaki Yu shifted all the blame onto the innocent investigators and linked the incident to the United States, deliberately spreading false information detrimental to the United States online.

This has had an extremely negative impact on the national image of the United States!

Upon arriving in America, this Miyazaki swordsman did not stop his actions, but instead used his extraordinary martial prowess to continue his inhumane deeds.

He personally led his men in an attack on an ancient castle, indiscriminately assaulting the upper-class guests attending a banquet, resulting in the deaths of hundreds—a truly heinous act!

Chapter 511 Further Developments (3rd Update!)

These reports can be said to have taken the techniques of selective reporting and taking things out of context to their extreme.

These American journalists, working tirelessly on the front lines of news reporting, truly deserve our praise.

Such lies and slander, such intricate connections and distortions of truth, can be considered a highly artistic and crafty art.

The fact that such a meticulously planned network of lies could be completed in less than a day makes one wonder if the United States' mobilization power has been entirely concentrated in the media industry.

Their inefficiency and perfunctory attitude in other areas, often dragging things out for months, has become the norm.

As a result, they were extremely creative and efficient in their slander and defamation. Mr. Karen and his superior from this morning were geniuses among them. In a very short time, they used propaganda to make a stranger who was not in the public eye become a household name.

It was only then that Americans suddenly realized that there were some extraordinary individuals in this world who possessed superhuman strength and combat power.

Just like the previous neon lights, the world of these super-powerful beings was originally hidden in the mist and the deep sea, concealing their presence.

Through their deliberate concealment and the government's efforts, this world of powerful beings with overwhelming combat strength successfully disappeared into the annals of history.

However, upon closer reflection, this is an inevitable trend in the world. With the advent of powerful firearms, the value of individual combat strength has been greatly diminished.

In ancient times, a general who could defeat ten thousand men could dominate a region. In modern times, an ordinary person holding an AK-47 has even greater combat power, not to mention tanks, cannons, missiles, and airplanes.

Moreover, whether it is the power gained through the awakening of supernatural abilities or the achievements obtained through martial arts cultivation, there is an upper limit. Even if a genius is one in ten thousand, obtains the best cultivation resources, and does not encounter any bottlenecks along the way, he can cultivate until middle age.

The peak strength of a swordsman is the ceiling; someone like Kawakami Gensai is considered a once-in-a-millennium talent.

Even more critically, individual martial prowess is not universal, nor is it ever stronger with each generation. In fact, it's possible that one generation is a genius while the next is a fool. The decline of martial arts families is not uncommon.

All the reasons mentioned above combined lead to the conclusion that individual force is ineffective.

However, powerful individuals with extraordinary combat abilities do exist, and they have all found new roles in the new era. They often combine with their respective countries and become sharp weapons in the hands of those countries.

Strong individual combat ability, coupled with advanced weaponry, can make combat power even more formidable, enabling them to accomplish things that even special forces soldiers cannot do. After all, regardless of whether the world is at peace or at war, there is never a shortage of struggles behind the scenes.

So-called peace is merely the optimal choice under various steady states. In the history of humankind, war or struggle has been the norm, while true peace is the rarest state.

After this information appeared in newspapers and various information channels, it immediately caused a series of storms. The impact of this information was almost no less than that of the Great Depression of the last century.

All Americans were utterly shocked. Could there really be humans with superhuman strength in this world? Could there really be terrifying beings like Captain America, capable of crushing ordinary armies?

Now the official media has come forward and said, yes!

This is tantamount to the official confirmation of the existence of UFOs, instead of the vague statements that have been made all along.

This immediately ignited the public's curiosity!

Within just a few tens of minutes, searches for terms like "superhumans," "superpowers," "extraordinary realms," and "powerful figures from history" reached billions of times, nearly crashing the search engine.

It was as if the people had opened the door to a new world in a very short period of time.

Just as Karen had predicted, once the matter was brought up, it immediately attracted the attention of all Americans.

These people, who mostly grew up under a "happy education" system, were easily manipulated and their fragile curiosity was ignited in the direction the educators had envisioned.

The original marches, protests, and discussions all suddenly subsided, and people began to discuss the veracity of what was reported in the newspapers.

Within just a few hours, these people reacted immediately, trying to find Miyazaki Yu to verify the authenticity of the news. Some radicals even started making phone calls demanding that the government immediately arrest Miyazaki Yu and investigate the whole story.

Then things move to the second stage, where the US government, under the 'coercion' of public opinion, will begin to investigate Miyazaki Hayao, and then they will hypocritically make appeals in the media.

For example, they called on the public to be rational, saying that all the unknown things at present are just media speculation. Although there is some truth to it, it has not been confirmed yet. There are still doubts about these two major cases.

This state of partial secrecy only fuels public curiosity: what is the government worried about? Or is the government still trying to hide things from the public?

This is part of human nature: if you tell something voluntarily, people will doubt its truthfulness, but if it's the truth that everyone has 'worked hard' to find, they will believe it without a doubt.

In their eyes, with their intelligence, how could they possibly be kept in the dark?

They are a group of extraordinary fighters who dared to prove that the earth is flat!

After leaving the Russian embassy, ​​on their way to the special plane bound for Russia, the group learned some things through the car's public address system.

Sonoko was incredulous and quickly took out her phone to check, only to find that there were heated discussions about these things on various online platforms.

Miyazaki Yu, who was originally completely unrelated to the hijacking and was hiding behind the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, was suddenly exposed to the public, and many things about him were revealed in a short period of time.

It was accompanied by countless speculations, followed by endless insults and slander.

This enraged Sonoko, who wanted nothing more than to run over and tear those bastards to pieces.

"These guys are utterly absurd. It's clearly these Americans who wanted to do something despicable, yet they're framing Miyazaki for everything!"

Miyazaki Yu smiled faintly: "I'm very happy with what Sonoko said. However, although what they said was based on guesses, they actually guessed some things correctly, which is quite interesting. It's like the code written by some third-rate programmers. This code is full of flaws, but it can still run and even coincidentally achieves the goal by some rules. That's quite amazing."

At this moment, Conan, who was sitting in the back, couldn't help but ask, "Miyazaki-nii, what do you mean by 'you're right'?"

Miyazaki Yu glanced at him, a faint smile on her lips: "Of course I'm referring to the castle incident. You and Hattori Heiji have a lot of curiosity, so I'll satisfy your curiosity. I killed everyone in the castle."

Chapter 512 Stay and Fight!

"what!"

Conan was surprised that Miyazaki Yu would so directly admit that he had killed many people!

The astonishment on his face was impossible to hide.

However, Miyazaki Yu remained calm, as if he didn't care at all. Kogoro Mouri and Ran were also very calm, clearly already aware of these things.

"Are you surprised? With your intelligence, this shouldn't be too hard to guess. After all, what I did doesn't conform to your so-called justice."

His tone was light and casual, with a hint of mockery.

Conan's face stiffened, then turned red. This guy had taken hundreds of lives, yet he spoke of it so casually, as if these people were as insignificant as ants!

"How can you use such a tone to describe hundreds of lives? What do you take life for? What do you take human lives for? To playthings that you can destroy at will?"

To everyone's surprise, Conan's tone was so agitated, and the anger in his eyes erupted like flames.

Miyazaki Yu wasn't angry; he just continued to sneer, "You ask what life is, what human life is? I can answer that question for you. Life is naturally the most precious thing in this world, and as the masters of this world, human life is even more precious. Is that the answer you wanted to see?"

Ignoring the sharp pain in his chest, Conan glared at him fiercely.

"That's right, life is so precious and must never be trampled on!"

Miyazaki Yu scoffed, "You're wrong. Life is indeed precious, but something even more precious is a life with dignity. When life loses its dignity, then that life itself is already withering away."

You and Hattori Heiji didn't enter the castle, and you didn't see many things like I did, but you did see the girls who escaped from the castle, right?

They were all young girls in the prime of their lives, who should have been enjoying love, the love of their families and parents, and the beauty of their youth.

However, due to the perverse desires of some people, they went to that dark and hopeless place and became playthings for some people. Many girls could not bear the torment and chose to commit suicide. But even after their deaths, it was not over.

Their bodies would be directly decomposed, and useful organs would be collected. Various organs, including the five internal organs, as well as corneas, blood, scalp, and every inch of skin, would be taken out and sold as commodities on the shelves of underground black markets!

Moreover, if the number of girls is insufficient due to death, or if some girls are no longer of interest to the wealthy patrons in the castle, they will receive the same treatment even if they do not commit suicide.

They also engaged in drug trafficking, smuggling, murder and robbery, which were commonplace for them. Even kidnapping was an everyday occurrence. Heh heh, an organization with official US ties and close connections to the Skull and Bones Society was actually doing these things in secret.

Compared to these people, the gangsters in the movie are practically saints. If after hearing all this you still think these people didn't deserve to die, then I have something to say.

Conan's lips twitched, his heart wavered, and the pain of his broken sternum surged up again, turning his face instantly pale.

However, the rapid processing of his brain temporarily relieved him of the pain.

"But can't we use the law, through normal judicial channels, to punish these people?"

Miyazaki Yu sneered: "Put away your childish ideas. If we really did what you said, these people would be fine, and the person who reported and exposed this matter would soon be imprisoned for defamation and slander."

Just like you and Heiji Hattori, you only followed the clues, made contact with a few victims, and learned some first-hand information, and then you became the targets of assassination. And the assassin was sent by the American government that you wanted to believe!

I deliberately sent that assassin to the police station as a test to see how things would develop. Things turned out to be more interesting than I imagined. You might not know this, but while you and Hattori Heiji were undergoing surgery together in the operating room...

A group of guys claiming to be FBI investigators rushed to the front of the operating room and tried to take me away with a very lame excuse.

Ultimately, the guy with the broken hand identified himself to the police as soon as he entered the police station and contacted his superior. Then, that official directly ordered the use of official means to take me away.

You can imagine, if you could resolve this through normal legal channels in the face of such a judicial system, I would truly admire you immensely!

Conan was deeply shaken. Miyazaki Yu's words struck him like a series of heavy hammer blows.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, he knew that Miyazaki Yu was right. This country was rotten to the core, and the corruption of the judiciary was often the beginning of a country's true downfall.

If Miyazaki Hayao hadn't killed those people, how many more would have been killed?

Those people are all powerful and wealthy individuals. If we don't use this method, it would be almost impossible to make these devils pay the price through legal means!

"Alright, Xiaoyu, Conan is still young, so don't say anything more to him. These principles may be too profound for him. I think Conan is smart enough to understand them in the future."
