Who are you exactly?]

After the emissary from the Six Dragons Sect uttered those words, the mysterious Internal Strength Master instantly typed out this line of text.

Xiang Shan watched the person holding the Metal Aerosol canister charging toward the building’s exit and shook his head.

—Who am I, really?

I’m a bit curious about that, too…

Xiang Shan originally felt that he was “Martial Ancestor Xiang Shan.” However, unfortunately, the objective world does not always coincide with one’s subjective impression.

It would be more accurate to say that the objective often exceeds people’s subjective impressions.

Now, Xiang Shan was no longer so certain about this point.

He avoided the question and instead asked, “Brother, point me a path.

Is there a platform in this era that everyone can see?”

[There are a small number of minor media and even personal media channels that disseminate messages through the old RSS/Atom.

Besides that…

it seems there is no “platform that everyone uses” anymore.]

Xiang Shan scratched his head: “I thought so.

Considering that damn Dyson Principle, I knew something like that wouldn’t exist…

Large media surely wouldn’t exist either.”

[If you don’t mind, you could rely on the civilian servers of the gangs to broadcast indiscriminately.

However, this won’t guarantee viewer numbers…

At least, it certainly won’t be like it was two hundred years ago.]

This must have been a probing statement.

Xiang Shan nodded and accepted the data transmitted by the mysterious master.

……………………………

“The Donkey” was quickly leaving Pine Eagle City.

Yuki was sitting on the roof of the vehicle, watching the giant building sink below the horizon.

He now knew some…

rather difficult-to-understand stories.

These stories suddenly made him feel as if he didn’t know who his master was.

Red Hand A climbed onto the roof and stood next to Yuki, looking at the city dotted with sporadic lights in the distance, and said, “Kid, are you worried about your master?”

Yuki nodded.

“No worries.

Nothing will go wrong.

All heroes actually cherish their lives very much.” Red Hand A patted Yuki’s shoulder: “The Martial Ancestor taught us that our lives are also lives; to cherish them is a way of respecting life.

Besides, the Tyrant’s power is a thousand times greater than that of a hero.

If one doesn’t cherish life, they’re sure to never see victory.”

“But…” Yuki scratched his head: “Martial God’s Eleven Defeats…

that can’t be because they didn’t cherish their lives.”

“Sometimes, you encounter things ‘more important than life.’ But such things don’t always need to be defended with your life, right?” Red Hand A said: “Besides, everyone knows that each of the Martial God’s Eleven Defeats could be described as ‘an honorable defeat.'”

Yuki said: “But in the Martial World, are there fewer and fewer people who truly believe in the Martial Ancestor?”

Yuki indeed felt this way.

Since his master said he was “Martial Ancestor Xiang Shan,” then he must be “Xiang Shan.”

But the air of these people of Jianghu was somewhat different from his master’s.

Yuki couldn’t yet articulate these differences.

However, he believed that as long as he continued to cultivate Inner Strength and develop the Soth Divine Realm, he would definitely be able to grasp these thoughts.

“Everyone still believes in the Martial Ancestor,” Red Hand A scratched his head: “At most…

it’s just a matter of degree.”

“Degree?”

“Before, everyone thought that the ‘Self-State,’ ‘Freedom Kingdom,’ ‘Great Harmony World’ and such, preached by the Martial Ancestor, were just steps away from the ‘Present World,’ and all it would take was to overthrow the Tyrant for them to be realized instantly.

Today’s heroes still believe that ‘heroism’ is justice.”

Yuki shook his head: “Heroism isn’t ‘justice,’ heroism is a packaged form of violence.

Heroism might align with humanity’s intuitive description of ‘justice’ in a broad sense, but it definitely isn’t metaphysical justice.”

Red Hand A smiled: “I didn’t expect you to be so familiar with the thoughts of the Martial Ancestor.”

Yuki said bashfully: “This is all because my master forced me to memorize it.

I don’t really understand it…”

There was a sudden exclamation from inside the vehicle.

Red Hand A’s figure flashed as he dove back into the vehicle.

It took Yuki another two seconds to enter the cabin.

He looked around and asked: “What’s wrong?

Was it an attack using Internal Strength?”

Everyone was looking at Yuan Wenren, who had let out the exclamation.

Heroine Yuan shook her head and said, “No…

I just received some news…

To gather intelligence, I had subscribed to some local news websites in Pine Eagle City…

This is what’s happening right now…

If you have been paying attention to your subscription news, you should have received it too.”

Cui Hai said: “We have all left Pine Eagle…

Could it be?”

Yuan Wenren didn’t waste words and simply shared the information.

It was several different webpage windows, each playing different content.

The first window was showing the fleeing Bengel.

Yuki didn’t recognize this guy and didn’t even know the style of the Scientific Knights’ attire.

He just felt that the Prosthetic Body with only half a hollowed-out brain was very disconcerting to look at.

“This guy…” Gael said: “Isn’t this the Vice Captain of the local Scientific Knight Order?

Who is that bigshot?”

The window continued to play footage of Bengel’s flight.

Whenever Bengel moved out of one surveillance camera’s view, the window automatically switched to another camera’s footage.

The second window continually switched scenes, but the content was essentially the same.

Nothing more than the fallen partition gates and the trapped soldiers.

The content playing in the third window was some kind of experimental record.

In these images, Bengel constantly pushed people into abnormal mental states, then he used equipment to record brain activity before creating pseudo-personality masks.

In addition, there was also resetting of the subjects’ memories through surgery and drugs.

These images also included the death scenes of the subjects.

The content playing in this window could be directly downloaded.

By clicking on the image, one could directly obtain a magnetic chain.

The characteristic of the magnetic chain was that it treated the “user” as the “server.” As long as one person had downloaded the original file, those afterward could download the shared content from this person.

Every user could be a “source of download.”

If a file had been turned into a magnetic chain and spread, this property would lead to it never being completely erased from the network—it would at most only be forgotten.

These scenes representing “crimes” could no longer be stopped.

“No, that’s not right.” Red Hand A said, “That live broadcast is also packaging the video at a ‘once a minute’ frequency and then uploading it to a newly established blockchain.”

“With the right intention, anyone could compile a complete account from this blockchain…”

Huang Ouguang said, “Live broadcast?

Inside the Meiyimei Building?

How is this possible?

How could this be?”

“He has broken in!

He’s succeeded!” Cui Hai said excitedly, “The senior is truly extraordinary!”

But instantly, Oko thought of a more practical problem.

“Now there is no one to coordinate and distract the defending army of Pine Eagle City!” he exclaimed, “This broadcast has exposed him!

If those hounds besiege him en masse…”

Gofrey said, “We have to go back!”

Cui Hai said, “Are you crazy?

Didn’t the senior arrange for us to leave so we wouldn’t be a drag?”

“But we still have to do something,” Gofrey said.

“Even if it’s just distracting a small wave of the defending army…

I want to go back.

What do you say?”

Everyone looked at each other in silent consideration.

………………………………

“This is a provocation!”

Amilcare Zhao’s deputy remaining in the city, watching the live broadcast, said so, “If that guy really succeeds in his assassination, then Pine Eagle City will lose face, and the lord’s future path will be cut off.”

“Aside from the border zones and the fort’s defense, all warriors head to the Meiyimei Building, and surround the entire building for me.

At the same time, prepare the remote firepower, and blow away any non-trustworthy units appearing outside the building!”

“The underground tunnels too, guard every exit!”

Someone yelled out, “Commander, there’s trouble, the security systems of the Meiyimei building have probably been completely hijacked.

They’ve even dropped the main gate.”

The military officer said, “Break through it at all costs.”

“But, the strength of that gate…”

The military officer stressed, “I said, at all costs—do you understand?”

“Understood!”

………………………………

Watching the live broadcast within his field of view, Jader clicked his tongue in wonder, “My my, this guy is quite fierce.

He went straight into the Meiyimei Building, how exhilarating!”

Hiroshi Matsushima said, “Shut up and follow.”

At this moment, the Instant Explosion Solo-Kill King had already changed into Hiroshi Matsushima’s “retirement” prosthetic body, now looking like a robust man.

And Hiroshi Matsushima had also switched to his own former competition prosthetic body.

The two were dressed in black robes that could refract electromagnetic waves, moving through the burning ruins.

A few minutes earlier, Hiroshi Matsushima told the apprentices of the martial arts school that the gang war was over and that the government had intervened.

He then returned to his office and wordlessly plugged Jader’s head onto the prosthetic body he used for his covert activities.

—Do me a favor, and then this prosthetic body is yours.

The government’s hands are full, now’s the best time to leave the city.

That’s what he had said.

“Tsk tsk tsk, senior brother, I knew it,” said Jader with a snicker, “I knew you’re still a man of passion.

Come on, tell me, are you in contact with that hero carrying out the assassination?

Did you plan this together?”

Hiroshi Matsushima glanced at the prosthetic body Jader was now using, sighed slightly with some heartache, “If it was planned, I wouldn’t have sold you my retirement investment.

Get it done quickly and scram, don’t drag me into your messy affairs.”

As they talked, the two approached a missile fort.

“I’ll rush over and deal with the guards, then you reset the parameters.

These missiles should be able to clear a block around the building, right?

Aim the surface-to-air missiles at the position I gave you—I remember you’re quite good at handling these.”

“Yo yo!

Senior brother, you’ve certainly been paying attention to my legend in the Jianghu!”

“Shut up and work!”
