Weird Tokyo, I am the master of strange stories

Chapter 60 The Elixir of Longevity
"It will be tentatively decided as..."

"[Demon]"

After Yu Gonglang put forward his idea.

An Yuan and the other two were surprised at first, but quickly accepted this outrageous-sounding plan.

After all, the person who said this was Yu Gonglang, who single-handedly created the sensational news of "The Bloody Swordsman"!
The two also put forward some of their own opinions and suggestions for modifications to the character design.

This was exactly the purpose of Yu Gonglang telling them about this matter.

Master Fox once said that humans are social animals, and helping each other is an instinct engraved in DNA.

Moreover, on the issue of "personal design", even people who have no power to restrain chickens can provide some inspiration.

In particular, An Yuan Du, who has been immersed in the Internet for many years, is familiar with all kinds of monsters and horror stories, and is extremely powerful, put forward many interesting suggestions.

During the discussion, the lunch break passed by in a flash.

Just when class was about to begin, An Yuan suddenly raised his phone again and said in surprise: "Hanomiya-kun, look!"

On the hot search list, an article appeared——

【shock!New cultural relics unearthed from ancient ruins are suspected of containing the elixir of life! 】

This hot search appeared quietly, but the popularity grew very steadily, and the rankings floated upward little by little.

Yu Gonglang understood clearly in his heart: "The momentum building has already begun."

For those who are greedy for power, the temptation of immortality is immeasurable.

Throughout the ages, countless people in power have obsessively pursued this ability.

Moreover, compared to the ghost stories that directly shape "people", the ghost stories that shape "things" are safer and more controllable.

It can be said that this is a very clever experiment.

But in Yu Gonglang's view, the other party is still a little short-sighted.

In an era when weirdness is reviving, "immortality" is a joke. Even if you take the elixir, if you encounter some kind of unreasonable and fierce weirdness, you will be crushed to death like an ant in an instant.

"Drip!"

Suddenly, another text message came from An Yuandu's backstage.

[Dear blogger, hello. 】

[After review by our professional team, you have been selected to become a "Special Contracted Blogger."]

[In order to further enhance the influence and generate value of excellent works, a dedicated person will come to negotiate with you in person about signing the contract. Please wait patiently. 】

"This is again..."

An Yuan was in a strange mood.

It was clear that his video had been blocked just now, and now he was doing this again?
Yu Gonglang's eyes narrowed.

This is similar to the "Elixir of Life" hot search that appeared out of thin air, and they are all official combination punches.

Once this huge machine of the state is in operation, it does give people a sense of oppression everywhere.
-
"Ring-ring--"

The school bell rings.

Yu Gonglang sat in the back row of the classroom by the window, silently watching the gradually noisy campus outside the window.

The students of the baseball club are actively preparing for the national competition. Loud slogans are heard from the track and field, and couples exuding sour smells are strolling on the road. Every smile and every smile is youthful.

It seems that strange things and strange stories are things far away.

Although the wave of strange revival is about to sweep over, Yu Gonglang still insists on going to school every day.

In addition to hiding his identity and avoiding exposure, Yu Gonglang himself also cherishes this peaceful daily life.

After all, he never went to school in his previous life.

Moreover, campus life like this might one day suddenly completely collapse and never be seen again.

It's better to take a closer look now.

"Every ordinary day we live may be a series of miracles..."

Suddenly, An Yuan on the side pretended to be deeply emotional.

Yu Gonglang glanced at him silently.

The middle school boy's face quickly turned red, even the roots of his ears were red.

"I I I..."

Yu Gonglang stood up, patted his shoulder, and said considerately: "Let's go home together."

So the two packed up their things and walked outside the school.

On the way, two or three classmates greeted Yu Gonglang.

The rumor of "the most vicious, evil, and bad-deeds transfer student" is indeed terrifying.

But after having real contact with Yu Gonglang, many students still changed their minds and felt that he was approachable, gentle and amiable, and not a dangerous person at all.

What's more, anyone with sharp eyes can see——

If you take off those black-rimmed glasses, wouldn't Hamiya-san look like a super pretty boy?

When you are a student, if you are good-looking and have good academic performance, it is inevitable that you want to be close to others.

To this, Yu Gonglang smiled and nodded in response.

A peaceful day on campus should have ended peacefully.

But when the two of them walked to the school gate, a black limousine parked not far away.

Soon, a man and a woman got out of the car.

The man is about 50 to [-] years old. He is not tall and has a good appearance. The hair on his head is a bit sparse and his eyes seem to be always looking at others.

Generally speaking, there is an aura of calmness and self-power, even a bit aggressive.

The woman next to him looked like his assistant, a standard urban white-collar woman, unsmiling, very capable and serious.

Seeing An Yuan alone, the man raised his eyebrows and strode towards them.

He got straight to the point: "You are the owner of the 'Unthinkable City Story' account, An Yuan Du, right?"

An Yuan was stunned, and quickly calmed down, "It's me."

If he were in the past, faced with this situation, he would have been confused and panicked.

But An Yuandu now is different from before after all.

What's more, he has an extremely solid backing behind him.

"You've seen that short stop, right?"

The middle-aged man said: "Now, come with us for a walk."

There was an undeniable domineering tone in his tone, as if he didn't even pay attention to An Yuan alone.

The same is true.

The other party is just a lucky high school student who became popular through his videos. If it weren't for the orders from above and being a vigilant person, how could he have deigned to talk to him in person?
An Yuan frowned: "...are you?"

The female white-collar worker next to me promptly handed over a business card.

Yanagihara Masanori, the third manager of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s Criminal Division, and a member of the Abnormal Incident Countermeasures Committee.

——After the appearance of Eiko Yamai's live TV broadcast, the Japanese police expanded the "Abnormal Incident Countermeasures Section" several times again, reaching a scale close to that of a large department. At the same time, many managers were airborne, and Masanori Yanagihara was one of them.

Originally, with his status, he didn't have to deal with such trivial matters as "interviews", but the superiors attached great importance to the case of the "Blood-clothed Swordsman", so they sent him to solve it.

An Yuan was a little unsure of the other party's intention for a while.

It seems that such a big shot doesn't come just to "sign a contract" when he comes to see him.

At this time, Yanagihara Masanori's eyes fell on Hagong Rang, and his information naturally appeared in his mind.

An Yuan Du's classmate, whose parents both died, was a transfer student and had a history of violence in his previous school.

The results of the character profile do not match, the physical quality does not match, he does not carry a sword with him, and he has no experience of joining a kendo club in middle school or high school.

The possibility of being a blood-clothed swordsman is extremely low.

But it cannot be completely ruled out.

Testing is possible.

Yanagihara Masanori is domineering, but he is not an incompetent person.

Before coming, he had done some research on An Yuan Du's interpersonal relationships.

Yanagihara Masanori thought for a moment and said, "You are...Hagong Rang, right?"

"You might as well get in the car and come."
