In a crossover anime, do you believe that a machine spirit can defeat a fake human?

Chen Yi didn't know how to respond.

"arrive."

The two police officers' tombstones are in a corner, shaded by trees, and protected from the scorching sun.

Black granite, sturdy, durable, solemn and dignified.

"Clap."

Chen Yi unpacked the package, took out a stick from the box, lit it, and gently placed it on the tombstone. He then placed the rest of the box in front of the tombstone.

"Sakura, you're here."

It was a weathered voice, sounding somewhat hoarse.

Chen Yi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man wearing a black suit.

He was dressed the same as Sugiyama, whom Chen Yi had seen the previous two times, so they must be from the same unit.

"Yes, Uncle Shirai, I brought a... friend with me today."

Ms. Sugiyama replied.

“I know who he is, there’s no need to hide it.” Uncle Shirai smiled and walked over to pat Sugiyama on the head.

"Brother, what's your name?"

"His surname is Chen."

"Brother Chen, thank you for your contributions to... the governance of the puppet regime." Shirai extended his hand, and Chen Yi shook it in return.

"...I didn't do anything, did I?"

"How could that be? At least I've never seen many people who would be willing to personally try to hunt down fake humans." Shirai patted Chen Yi on the shoulder.

Well, the motives for hunting down fake people aren't exactly pure either, so how can they be considered noble?

Chen Yi mocked himself inwardly.

"Want to give it a try?"

Shirai picked up the cigarette box in front of the tombstone, took out a cigarette, and put it in Chen Yi's hand.

"..."

"Heh heh... cough!"

So, he simply can't stand the taste.

"Uncle Shirai, it's illegal to offer cigarettes to minors, you know. I'll report you to your workplace if you're not careful."

Ms. Sugiyama expressed her dissatisfaction.

"Hey, I was just teasing Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to actually do it."

Shirai tried to make amends and frantically winked at Chen Yi.

...If you really wanted to stop me, you would have held my hand down the moment I lit the lighter.

Chen Yi chose to turn a blind eye.

Say goodbye to your vacation, Mr. Shirai.

P.S.: I'm really out of ideas, I'm so ashamed of myself for writing romance scenes...

Sigh, that's just how things are for Xiao Chu Nan (sad)

Typhoon Season: Chapter 153 Declaration: I am Mai Sakurajima's dog! (Seriously)

Guitar Knight has started a live stream.

Before going to bed that night, Goto Ichiri opened her phone and was fantasizing about a spectacular collaboration with Guitar Knight when a video link suddenly popped up on her homepage.

"Hello? Can you hear me?"

After clicking in, I found that Guitar Knight was doing a sound check.

"The sound recording seems to be fine." The guitarist raised his hand slightly, and the camera was raised accordingly.

"Good evening, everyone. I'm Guitar Knight, a new blogger in the science popularization section."

'god!'

The comments section erupted with a chorus of repeated phrases.

Chen Yi frowned as he looked at the scrolling comments on the smart helmet, and then immediately disconnected the helmet from the laptop.

It's blocking the view too much. Anyway, Kroos is monitoring the backstage area, so I can just have Kroos relay anything.

"Hmm, this is beyond my expectations. Two science videos have garnered so many fans... Thank you for your support."

The guitarist bowed slightly.

This isn't a serious science video, bro.

"Man, what canned food are you talking about?"

'The most capable science popularization blogger w~'

The comments section immediately started playing with memes.

"Okay, so the focus of this live stream isn't the science video, but rather answering some questions from the comments section. Of course, if you have any other questions you'd like to ask now, you can wait until I've read some of the top-rated comments before giving your answers."

Chen Yi continued to read from the prepared script.

"Okay, first question."

Is your video content authentic?

"Although this question was asked a bit early, and was ridiculed by many people afterward... I'll still give a formal response: most of it is true."

"As for which part is fake? The voice is fake."

'The blogger tells a lame joke without laughing; I really want to learn that skill!'

It's hilarious.

Oh, the authenticity of various materials found randomly online cannot be guaranteed; it can only be said that cross-verification can confirm their authenticity.

perhaps.

Goto Ichiri watched with great interest, and his drowsiness gradually dissipated.

"Okay, then, the second question."

Your outfit looks so cool, did you make it yourself?

"Well, strictly speaking, it's mostly self-made, but technically it references the counterinsurgency warfare tactics of 'Iron Blood,' which is the strategy of minimizing losses."

The real reason is actually the lack of heavy firepower, haha.

"And this standard exoskeleton for Yinglong 4, I can only say that it is indeed related to Ironblood. As for the rest, I can't reveal anything."

This is also a veiled warning to those with ill intentions; Chen Yi has connections.

"Okay, then, the third question."

Was the crocodile ultimately killed by the authorities?

A typical conspiracy theorist.

“If you are a viewer living in Chiba, you may know very well that, in fact, for a long time after the typhoon, the road damage at the site of the crocodile remains in Mihama Ward was not repaired for a long time. That kind of damage could only be caused by artillery shells. As an ordinary citizen, I could not possibly own such a thing.”

Chen Yi shrugged, confirming that the matter was now irrevocably settled.

"Okay, next question."

What does he look like under the helmet and visor? Is he a handsome special forces soldier?

"As we all know, the charm of the masked look is that it has no face."

Chen Yi's tone turned gloomy.

"It's obvious that maintaining an air of mystery is key to high popularity, and it also helps protect one's identity."

'That seems to make sense.'

"Of course, actually it's because I'm too handsome, and I'm afraid some irrational fans will come down to me offline, so I'm sorry."

Chen Yi changed the subject and started a little joke.

"Alright, now it's time for a free Q&A session. I'll reveal the answer to the last question at the end of the live stream."

A $10,000 SC pop-up message appeared, containing information about sponsored content.

"Well, I'm not really short of money, but if anyone wants to send me money, I'd be very happy to. Thank you, everyone."

Then came a series of gifts.

'Can you livestream the hunt?'

Another $10,000 SC inquired.

"Well, it might not work. Because often, ordinary people encountering fake humans is unexpected. I'm just an ordinary person after taking off this exoskeleton. And the previous two videos were recorded by a recorder I was carrying with me. So, viewers who want to watch the live stream might be disappointed."

'Why is it called Guitar Knight? The content isn't about playing guitar, is it? Also, what's the connection to Guitar Hero? You two seem to have a lot of interaction.'

Although it's all interaction in the comments section.

"Regarding this, it actually stems from a misunderstanding. Strictly speaking, I actually have two accounts. One is this Guitar Knight account, and the other is called Noisy Singing. I usually post some original songs by my friends on that account. When I created this account, it was just a spur-of-the-moment idea. Because I can play the guitar, I named it Guitar Hero... something like that. However, after the video was posted, I found that the name Guitar Hero was already taken by another blogger, so I changed the name to Guitar Knight. There's no special story behind it, and my interaction with Guitar Hero is based on the level of netizens, so please stop hyping it up."

Is there something else I need to do?

Goto Ichiri shuddered.

Oh, it's a clarification statement...

Could it be that they've noticed I'm constantly trying to ride the wave of attention and are trying to distance themselves from me so they can cyberbully me? No way...

Ugh, so bitter~

"By the way, I've also privately consulted Guitar Hero about guitar issues. He's a great teacher, so please don't misunderstand our relationship."

Chen Yi thought for a moment and added a sentence.

Thank you, Guitar Knight, for sparing my life...

Goto breathed a sigh of relief; he had survived.

"Alright, alright, time's almost up. Now for one last question..."

Chen Yi ignored gossip questions like whether he had a girlfriend.

What was your initial motivation for making videos?

......

“A friend of mine has gotten into trouble because of a strange phenomenon that has been going on for more than half a year.”

"She is my friend, Mai Sakurajima."

A friend...?

Mai Sakurajima stood behind the camera and glanced at Rio Futaba next to her.

Even though Futaba and I are still strategic partners...

"After some... perhaps not very theoretically supported reasoning, my friend and I found a way to solve this kind of problem, but we don't know how to put it into practice."

"Then, by chance, I learned that increasing exposure might be useful."

"So the guitar videos were started with this initial intention, but obviously, they didn't take off."

"So my initial motivation for making these kinds of videos wasn't entirely pure."

"But if you ask me if I will continue doing it, I think I probably will."

Because normally, the probability of an ordinary person encountering a fake person is not as high as his, so this is a natural entertainment effect, and we should make the most of it.

Hmm, the motives aren't exactly pure.

"Well, in the days to come, please continue to support our national idol, Mai Sakurajima, uh..."

Chen Yi suddenly stopped midway through his sentence.

Because he saw Mai Sakurajima's expression and the lip movements she was making.
