“Misunderstanding, it’s a misunderstanding! So they were friendly forces!”

It's here, it's finally here.

"As expected of the Government, their speed in acquiring information is indeed faster than the outside world."

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

It looked like, at least regarding this matter, Tejima Ichiro was still following the path of his previous life, not letting Qin Feng 'down'.

However, how was he supposed to answer An Yu's question?

As it turned out, before Qin Feng could even reply.

An Yu continued to send private messages, sounding still somewhat excited: "It's okay, Great God, I understand now. You must have had a private deal with that Tejima Ichiro, right?"

"I get it! They are all pawns you arranged, right?"

???

Qin Feng was a bit dumbfounded.

This girl, her imagination is quite remarkable, isn't it?

However, what Qin Feng didn't know was…

An Yu was just saying that randomly.

Her inner thoughts were…

'This time I can be absolutely certain, the Great God must be a reincarnator!'

'But reincarnators don't want to expose themselves, so I must hide the Big Boss well…'

Thus, An Yu continued to private message him, saying solemnly and seriously: "Don't worry, Great God, I definitely won't tell anyone else. I wouldn't want any flaws to appear in your plan~"

"…"

Qin Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Since she already thought that way, what else could he do?

He could only go along with it.

…

Just at this moment.

Japan, Tokyo, was currently in the midst of dire turmoil.

There was a swordsman wielding a sword, relying on his super-fast speed and Damage Immunity Shield, slaughtering his way through streets and alleys, collecting one spine after another, carving bones into swords!

There was a white-short-haired assassin in the shadows, cruelly creating some kind of cutting trap, surrounding the physical bodies of many players currently in the game!

There was a bald priest, wearing a creepy smile, quietly abducting quite a few boys to begin 'treatment'!

These players were all from Tejima Ichiro's team.

Every one of them had endured 100% of the Whispers gauge, their eyes bloodshot, having completely lost their sanity, and temporarily unable to return to the game…

The news of such chaos spread immediately!

Inside the game, within the Tokyo Ruins.

Many Japanese citizens gathered together, discussing it among themselves!

"Help, it's too terrifying, there's a crazy woman outside, saying she wants to eat my wife! We can only log in to hide!"

"Has anyone seen my Fat Tiger? He was dragged away by a white figure, possibly a priest!"

"It's Tejima Ichiro, they are all people from Tejima Ichiro's team!"

"My god, they've gone crazy!"

"Did Tejima Ichiro betray Japan? Could they have colluded with Shadow?"

"Right! Is this the condition for Shadow to let them come back?"

"Impossible, I trust Tejima-kun, after all, if they colluded with Shadow, he wouldn't need to say they had come into contact with Shadow at all!"

"Exactly! As long as they don't say it, it's impossible for anyone to know they had contact with Shadow…"

…

The disaster sweeping through all of Tokyo was still continuing.

Multiple official guild self-defense corps cultivated by the Japanese Government mobilized all at once!

They formed fifty or sixty large-scale teams, each team responsible for capturing one person from Tejima Ichiro's team!

Even so, they were under immense pressure.

Because Tejima Ichiro's team, compared to ordinary players… were just too strong!

Just Tejima Ichiro alone, that speed, that Damage Immunity Shield, were not so easy to break.

And the entire population of Japan was shocked by this incident!

It wasn't just Japan; this news spread abroad, causing global terror!

Before this.

There were already quite a few people globally who felt that after the God Forsaken Game arrived, good days had come.

They could collect Lifespan without limits, which meant… they could achieve immortality!

Especially many elderly people.

Originally on the verge of death.

But after receiving the tradable lifespan given by friends and family, and having some of their illnesses treated, they actually gradually became healthy.

However, now, when the situation in Tokyo spread out.

People finally realized…

When the strong of the God Forsaken Game truly lose their sanity and start killing indiscriminately outside, what terrifying consequences it would bring!

In fact, now, globally, even psychopathic serial killers had appeared in quite large numbers.

But basically, there hadn't been 'group crimes' like in Japan.

Some people speculated, perhaps this had something to do with 'Shadow'?

But after understanding the situation, they all shook their heads; this matter couldn't possibly have anything to do with Shadow.

After all, Tejima Ichiro and his team were only affected by the Ancient God Whispers and lost their sanity after attempting to raid a Diamond-level BOSS one day later.

What does this have to do with Shadow?

And this made people feel an unimaginable sense of awe toward 'Shadow'.

As everyone knows, Shadow had long since taken the first kill of a Diamond-level BOSS.

Just what kind of terrifying combat power did he possess?

Daxia!

When the situation from Japan spread over, countless people were instantly stunned!

Although many people said online that they believed in Shadow and so on, it was basically just banter.

Who could have thought…

That Tejima Ichiro really had an incident?!

"Thousands of people have been offed in just this short while?"

"Holy crap, is Shadow really that divine?"

"Could it be that he knew Tejima Ichiro was going to 'serve the country with loyalty', which is why he let him go?"

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation on behalf of the big boss Shadow! What does this have to do with Shadow?"

"Exactly, could our Great God really cross thousands of kilometers and make them lose their minds?"

People were discussing it heatedly.

Privately, they all guessed that this matter likely had something to do with 'Shadow'.

But on the forums, they were all righteous, helping to clear 'Shadow' of any connection to this matter.

For a time, many onlookers were confused.

So does Shadow really have anything to do with this matter or not?

In short…

There were originally quite a few of the older generation in Daxia who had some opinions about Qin Feng; from their standpoint, Japan was unforgivable!

Now that the news from Tokyo had arrived, these people were all stunned, beating their chests and stamping their feet, then laughing heartily.

"Misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding!"

"So they were friendly forces!"

"I, this old man, almost couldn't hold back my broadsword!"

Especially An Yu's grandfather, An Bolong, who laughed until tears flowed out, and immediately went online to send An Yu a message: "Little Yu, Grandpa has a silk banner from back in the day; find an opportunity and help Grandpa send it to Shadow!"

An Yu looked dumbfounded: "No, Grandpa, wasn't that silk banner something you won on the battlefield? You usually treat it like a treasure, even saying you wanted to take it into your coffin?"

An Bolong immediately darkened his face: "Do I look like a grandfather who is about to enter a coffin? Besides… Shadow, he is worthy of this silk banner!"

An Yu helplessly replied: "Forget it, Grandpa, what use would he have for your silk banner?"

…

Facing all of this, Qin Feng was naturally calm and indifferent.

No matter what, no one should think of linking this matter to him in the slightest…

Just at this moment.

A petite figure flickered into existence before Qin Feng's eyes.

It was the Gui Ling girl he had called back to retrieve the vase.
