As Kawaguchi Tokushi desperately pleaded for mercy, the live stream's bullet comments erupted once again.
Chinese Bullet Comments:
[Here we go again! This guy's pulling the same old trick—the self-torture ploy!]
[Don't believe him! This Little brat is rotten to the core!]
[Sister Aya, don't fall for it! Call the police immediately!]
[Little Bingbing's right there! Just let her handle the rest.]
[Sister Aya wouldn't soften her heart and let him off again, would she? No way!]
Japanese Bullet Comments:
[Ooooh! Master Tokushi! What a performance!]
[That's it! Keep acting! You can only output when you're alive!]
[What do they know? This isn't twisted, it's clever! It's tactical feigned weakness!]
[Exactly! After seeing how badly his fans have been treated, Aya has no choice but to cut him some slack, right?]
[Hard to say... Honestly, if I had a fan this twisted, I'd never forgive them!]
[Wait... the "Metaphysical Weapon" is speaking again!]
Inside the Chinese Production Team's studio.
Nie Junfeng was in high spirits, thrilled to see the Japanese player humiliated like this. Tonight's overtime was well worth it!
Seeing Kawaguchi Tokushi resort to his old tricks once again, Nie Junfeng naturally followed suit.
Ahem!
Clearing his throat, Nie Junfeng looked directly at the live stream camera and said with feigned awe:
"Truly, this is the number one superstar player of the Japan Region!
"Kawaguchi Tokushi is not just an individual!
"He embodies the indomitable spirit and the invaluable flexibility of generations of legendary Japanese ninjas!"
The moment Nie Junfeng finished speaking, a low ripple of laughter spread through the studio. Qiu Qiu, the host sitting beside him, struggled to maintain her smile, her lips threatening to crack.
Undeterred by the surrounding reaction, Nie Junfeng continued his impassioned commentary, his voice brimming with exaggerated awe:
"Just look at what Kawaguchi Tokushi has endured!
"Through sheer bad luck! His flawless surveillance was mistaken for perverted behavior, leading to a child calling the police!
"Through sheer bad luck! His perfect Ninja Tool was crushed underfoot, dismissed as mere trash!
"Through sheer bad luck! His chosen hiding spot was turned into a public toilet by a swarm of cats!"
"Because of sheer bad luck! He was on the verge of escaping, only to be tripped by a trap and plunged into dire straits!
"This series of unfair setbacks would have been the final straw for any other competitor!
"But!
"Kawaguchi Tokushi refuses to give up!
"Because behind him stand the legendary ninja of Japan, their legendary 'Nindo' spirit embodied within him!
"At this moment, Kawaguchi Tokushi alone represents Japan's ancient ninja history and traditions. He is not fighting alone—he is not alone!
"Having inherited the strength of his predecessors, he will never surrender easily. Miracles are reserved for those who never give up!
"I believe that as long as Kawaguchi Tokushi perseveres, he will undoubtedly achieve ultimate victory!"
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Host Qiu Qiu immediately applauded enthusiastically:
"Inspector Nie's words are truly inspiring! Even if Kawaguchi Tokushi can't hear us, I'm sure he can sense some powerful influence in the air. Perhaps he really can turn misfortune into good fortune, just as Inspector Nie believes!
"Now, let's wait and see what happens next!"
Seeing Nie Junfeng and the host Qiu Qiu blatantly "Poison Milk" Kawaguchi Tokushi on the live broadcast, Chinese viewers in the live stream were cracking up.
[Hahahaha! You didn't see this coming, did you? Our Patriarch has struck again... wait, speaks again!]
[He's not alone! Patriarch Nie's analysis is absolutely legendary! Haha!]
[What are you laughing about? So random! Everyone, get serious! Inspector Nie believes Kawaguchi Tokushi can actually pull off a comeback! We should be worried and nervous! (Dog emoji)]
[Ahhh! We're doomed! Even our own expert thinks Kawaguchi Tokushi can turn misfortune into fortune! He's definitely going to escape now! Being a Chinese viewer is so tough! So hopeless! (Dramatic, over-the-top crying emoji)]
[Yoshi! This Nie Junfeng is a model citizen!]
[How can you guys say such things? Damn it, that's outrageous! You guys are making me laugh like a pig in the middle of the night!]
Some Japanese viewers who had just tuned into the live stream and were unaware of Nie Junfeng's "Poison Milk" meme were confused:
[This Chinese commentator's analysis is remarkably insightful! I'm getting fired up listening to him! But why are the Chinese viewers all laughing?]
[Don't be fooled! This commentary guest is China's cheat-level Metaphysical Weapon! He's Poison Milking Kawaguchi Tokushi!]
[Exactly! I checked his records—since the show started, almost every prediction Nie Junfeng has made has come true in reverse. The title "Metaphysical Weapon" is no joke!]
[Damn those treacherous bastards! Resorting to such underhanded tactics!]
[Baka! Are we just going to let them bully Master Tokushi without doing anything?]
[I've got it! Metaphysical Counterattack! Let's all bet against Kawaguchi Tokushi! There's no way one guy can overpower the collective will of so many people!]
[Great idea! I'll start—Kawaguchi Tokushi! You perverted ninja! You're a disgrace to Japan! You're definitely getting eliminated tonight, baka yarō!]
As soon as a viewer proposed the "brilliant" idea of a Metaphysical Counterattack, many Japanese viewers immediately jumped on the bandwagon, launching a torrent of angry criticism against Kawaguchi Tokushi.
Some Japanese viewers who sensed the folly tried to intervene, but their efforts proved largely futile.
The live stream descended into a bizarre spectacle.
Chinese viewers sighed, murmuring, "Kawaguchi Tokushi is so badass, he'll definitely be fine!"
Japanese viewers, on the other hand, gritted their teeth, spitting, "Kawaguchi Tokushi is such a fucking disgrace! He's getting eliminated for sure!"
Many Chinese viewers watching the live stream burst into laughter.
This late-night broadcast is delivering peak entertainment!
Who needs sleep tonight?!
Behind the scenes, production teams from both China and Japan were monitoring the live stream's real-time viewership data.
Despite it being nearly midnight, the number of viewers continued to climb steadily, showing no signs of decreasing.
This was especially remarkable for the Japan Region, where it was already 1 a.m.—an hour ahead of China—and salarymen who had to work the next day were still flooding in to watch.
The allure of this cross-border battle was undeniable.
Elevated to a clash between nations, neither side wanted to be the loser. Both desperately wanted to witness their own side's victory firsthand.
Unlike the jubilant atmosphere backstage with the Chinese production team, the Japanese team should have been celebrating their viewership ratings. However, Kawaguchi Tokushi's disastrous performance, coupled with the self-righteous scolding from many Japanese viewers, left them in no mood for celebration.
Chief Director Tsukikyo Mari was so enraged that she nearly had all the Japanese viewers who were relentlessly attacking Kawaguchi Tokushi banned from the show's online platforms!
Had a group of staff members not desperately intervened, the situation might have escalated into an even greater spectacle.
Meanwhile, in the Cat's Eye Clan's security monitoring room...
Little Ya and her team were watching "Aya" and the cats confront Kawaguchi Tokushi through the surveillance cameras.
Kawaguchi Tokushi had assumed that the Manor's security cameras were only installed around the perimeter. In reality, the Manor was also equipped with hidden cameras inside.
These cameras were exceptionally well-concealed, and Kawaguchi Tokushi, misled by the external cameras, had subconsciously lowered his guard, completely failing to notice the subtle signs of surveillance.
"Sister Aya is incredible!" Lu Yue exclaimed after watching "Aya" command the feline army to successfully capture Kawaguchi Tokushi. "Can she really make all your cats obey her commands?"
"Is this a secret technique unique to the Cat's Eye Clan? How come you've never mentioned it before?"
Seeing Lu Yue's eyes shining with childlike curiosity, Little Ya couldn't help but mentally retort:
There's no such thing! How could I possibly explain it to this blockhead?
But outwardly, Little Ya's face radiated undisguised "pride" and "speechlessness" as she subtly boasted:
"My dearest Little Yue Yue~ There are countless secrets about the Cat's Eye Clan that you don't know. Am I supposed to reveal them all to you one by one?"
Little Ya's response neither confirmed nor denied the existence of such a technique, but given the circumstances, most people would take it as a tacit admission—Nie Bing included.
Lu Yue's question was actually what Nie Bing had wanted to ask as well. Upon hearing the answer, the depths of her eyes grew even more solemn. Cifera is truly unfathomable.
Even though Nie Bing now understood that "Cifera" was likely just an alias for Aya, she still habitually referred to her as "Cifera."
Unlike Nie Bing, Lu Yue had known Little Ya since childhood. Hearing her reply, he immediately realized that she herself didn't possess this "Art of Cat Control."
Otherwise, her previous answer would have been much more boastful, not this bland and understated.
"Oh, I get it now! So you don't actually know how to do it yourself? No wonder you never mentioned it before!" Lu Yue nodded, his expression one of dawning understanding.
"..."
Seeing Little Ya's face darken, Lu Yue inwardly cheered, Yes! But he didn't dare push his luck too far. He quickly changed the subject, turning to Nie Bing:
"Officer Nie Bing, do you think Sister Aya will spare this pervert?"
He gestured to the surveillance footage, where Aya was shown listening to Kawaguchi Tokushi's pleas for mercy, her hand pressed against her chin in thought.
"It's hard to say... In... unconventional situations, I can't predict what Miss Aya will choose to do."
Nie Bing's mind was still consumed by Cifera, and she nearly slipped up. Fortunately, she quickly corrected herself, forcing herself to remain calm:
"But since I promised to let her handle this completely, I'll respect her decision—unless this illegal intruder has committed other serious crimes."
Hearing Nie Bing's response, Lu Yue nodded vigorously.
"I think the same way. Whatever Sister Aya decides, I'll support her!"
"Hmph!"
Just as Lu Yue finished speaking, Little Ya, looking utterly convinced, chimed in:
"There's nothing to guess about. My sister will definitely make him pay. Just wait and see!"
As if to prove Little Ya right, the "Aya" on screen, who had been deep in thought with her head bowed, finally looked up. A playful smile played on her lips as she locked eyes with Kawaguchi Tokushi and said:
"Judging by your accent... you're from Japan, aren't you?"
Instead of following up on his "obsessed fan" claim, she tilted her head slightly, as if she had just discovered something amusing.
"Forgive my bluntness, but are all Japanese Fans... this 'twisted'?"
"To sneak into someone's home in the middle of the night just to spy on an idol?"
"And after all this... you expect me not to call the police?"
Her voice was light and airy, yet it pierced Kawaguchi Tokushi's heart like a needle.
