Chapter 343: Chapter 339: Play Law! Feng Yuji Awakens!

In the prophecy of the [Prophet], the “sea monster disaster” is set to arrive today.

But before today, the Japanese side had not evacuated the area around Nagasaki or made comprehensive preparations to stimulate the awakening of “Feng Yuji” and thwart it in advance.

From an outsider’s perspective, it seems as though they have done nothing.

This attitude, in a positive light, could be called “remaining unchanged to cope with changes.”

In a negative light, it’s an ostrich mentality.

Not to mention a group controlling the lives and deaths of over a hundred million people, even if it were an ordinary business group, the decision-makers opting for this response in the face of a crisis would definitely have significant problems!

This attitude can be described as “failing”!

Many Japanese netizens, with little access to materials and intelligence, are speculating about their true intentions.

Online, all kinds of rumors are flying, suggesting this is a game between the current controlling group of this island and the Profound Immortal Team.

However…

The reality is not that complicated.

There is no conspiracy.

What’s there is merely differences and conflicts arising from different “goals.”

For example, right now.

Ma Ran, under the identity of “Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan,” leads two capable officers under his command and a convoy of hundreds of jeeps filled with members of the Profound Immortal Team, forming a long line heading towards the westernmost area under the influence of the Profound Immortal Team.

Such a long convoy is very eye-catching.

Almost as soon as they set off, major Japanese media began to follow and report on the news in real-time.

The “righteous assistance” of the Profound Immortal Team is even being lauded frantically by Japanese netizens, who believe they are “people who truly possess the samurai spirit.”

Many passionate youths are being swayed by careless soft articles written by irresponsible self-media editors, desperately wishing they could join the Profound Immortal Team and fight alongside these “amazing big brothers and sisters.”

Online, some even worry that with such a long convoy maintaining such speed, if any driver has an issue, there could be a rear-end collision resulting in a severe accident.

Their worries are unnecessary.

For this operation, all the drivers are veteran drivers. Even at high speeds, their hands are steady, their hearts are steady, having prepared for today for a long time, coupled with assistance from some special Superpower Users, their mindset is as steady as an old dog, with no possibility of performing poorly.

In this large convoy, there is not a single weakling; everyone is an Extraordinary One, with the minimum cultivation being the First Rank of Inner Qi and having vast battle experience in the extreme path.

In fact, the members of the Profound Immortal Team are not acting out of some lofty “righteousness.”

The reason the members of the Profound Immortal Team are willing to join this operation is very simple.

Because Zhou Yu and Ogata Shitou have made it known that those who participate in the Sea Demon Battle will have much higher chances of promotions, salary raises, and access to higher-level secret techniques of the extraordinary in the future, far more so than those who do not participate!

In simple terms, it’s the lure of benefits.

With money, power, and authority, many things they once desired but could not obtain can be easily achieved.

Among these people, only a very few uphold their beliefs and righteousness, not for fame or fortune, but simply out of a pure desire to save people.

The most typical example is Ogata Shitou, famed as the [Profound Immortal Right Arm].

He is a “black cutting white,” a kind of variant Holy Mother.

Members of the Profound Immortal Team generally do not have high moral standards, but they adhere strictly to rules.

For Ma Ran, this is already enough.

Rolling down the car window, the gale whistled into the car, as Ma Ran slowly scrolled his phone screen, the corner of his mouth slightly upturned.

He was browsing a high-traffic Japanese forum.

Almost everyone was discussing “Feng Yuji” and the “Profound Immortal Team.”

By casually opening a post, Ma Ran could feel the heavy grievances and hatred of netizens toward the current controlling group on this island.

“Those damned fools! I’ve had enough of them! The [Prophet] overextended his lifespan in the spirit of international humanitarianism to predict the arrival of the ’sea monster disaster,’ and his friend [Profound Immortal] is desperately acting, creating the Profound Immortal Team in a very short time, just to save more people! But those who should have stepped forward at this time, where are they?”

“Dragging their feet, of course! Don’t you understand them yet?”

“I can testify, the person above isn’t just randomly smearing, really! Those ’meat eaters’… set up checkpoints everywhere just to delay the Profound Immortal Team’s arrival in Nagasaki!”

“The convoy of the Profound Immortal Team almost had all their cars at full speed, and it’s because of these sudden ’temporary monitoring stations’ that their actions were slowed down!”

“Those who’ve driven long distances should know what it means for a convoy to maintain an average speed of over a hundred kilometers per hour, what kinds of risks they have to bear! I used to really dislike the Profound Immortal Team, but now, I have to admit, I’ve completely changed my mind about them! Perhaps it wasn’t them who were ignorant and narrow-minded, but me!”

“Damn it! The controllers of this island don’t care about human lives at all! They just want to see more people die so that fewer people can divide the existing resources, achieving the goal of alleviating social contradictions and crises!”

“I’m shocked! Suddenly what the person above said makes a lot of sense! Is the real world really this dark?”

“…If what you said is true, the actions of certain vested interests who disregard the lives of others already deeply hurt my heart. I’d rather see the Profound Immortal Team come to power than let these hypocrites continue to sicken people! A true villain is far better than a hypocrite!”

“Hey, hey! The big brothers and sisters in the Profound Immortal Team aren’t villains! They’re heroes saving the innocent! Heroes, get it?! Mind your tongue!”

“To be honest, I really admire and respect the [Prophet], but I dislike [Profound Immortal] Zhao Guanlan! I feel this person is the embodiment of the world’s malice; even if he’s disaster relief, he might not be kind-hearted.”

“Judge by actions not intentions, nobody’s perfect! At least Zhao Guanlan is willing to act, while those who hold offices do nothing but drag their feet! Disgusting! Disgusting! Seeing their old faces makes me want to vomit!”

Netizens separate the Prophet and Profound Immortal, but Ma Ran looks at the issues from a higher, different perspective.

To avoid mental breakdown and deep immersion into roles during interpretation which may lead to far-reaching negative impacts, Ma Ran once devised a simple “Role-Playing Law.”

The Role-Playing Law: Subjective Role Conversion Method.

It sounds complex, at first glance, somewhat mystical.

In reality, it’s very simple.

When the two roles playing simultaneously do not meet, Ma Ran can be the Sword Master, the Demon Child, or the Profound Immortal.

Once the two roles playing simultaneously meet, Ma Ran is only the Prophet.

When playing Zhao Guanlan, although he often flaunts his authority, it’s all deceit.

So far, the two identities of [Profound Immortal] and [Prophet] have not been in contact.

By playing two roles simultaneously, whether the lie-spouting Profound Immortal or the Prophet covering for the Profound Immortal in China’s realm, it’s all Ma Ran manipulating information from the [Guardian]’s standpoint.

In mystical terms, this behavior is explained as…

Namely: Hongjun is the Tao, the Tao is not Hongjun.

Personally, Ma Ran prefers to use mathematical explanations.

He believes mathematics is clearer and straightforward—Ma Ran is the universal set, while Lin Qiubai, Zhang Kuang, and Zhao Guanlan are the true subsets.

Of course, for more rigor, it can be rephrased—[Guardian] is the universal set, while [Prophet], [Sword Master], [Demon Child], and [Profound Immortal] are the true subsets.

“Lord Profound Immortal! Feng Yuji awakened three seconds ago!”

Excited and frantic came Ogata Shitou’s voice from the back seat: “It has already killed many people!”

Through the rearview mirror, Ma Ran saw this kind young man’s face was flushed red, dripping with hot sweat in anxiety, wishing he could jump out of the convoy and fly straight to Nagasaki.

But Ogata Shitou was well aware that with his strength, he couldn’t possibly stop this disaster!
