Chapter 483 A New Storm Has Arrived
"..."
The atmosphere he had created was shattered by the people behind him, and the man's serious expression completely crumbled at that moment.
He just wanted to try saying those things in this kind of situation.
The man turned around and walked towards the group, saying helplessly.
"There must be something important that I called you here."
He took his phone out of his pocket, swiped the screen, and waited until everyone's pockets made a sound before speaking again.
"These are the news articles I've compiled during this period; please take a look."
"What is this? Gathering us here in the middle of the night to watch the news? Isn't it enough to just send out messages?"
Hearing the man's words, the crowd gathered there felt even more displeased.
"Don't be in such a hurry. You'll understand once you read it. Besides, the information above is the reason I called you here."
"...very mysterious."
Although they were somewhat annoyed by the man's riddle-like manner, their curiosity was indeed piqued.
They opened their phones and clicked on the document the man had sent in the group chat.
The document is a bit long, but it's almost entirely images, so it doesn't strain the eyes too much.
[Major car accident on the street, police officer tragically killed on the roadside]
[The Blood-Red Rice Flower City Hall: The Hidden Truth]
[The secrets hidden behind the military exercises on Shenhai Island: Rumors of the sea god's appearance]
[UFO attack in Aoyama City, suspected to be a Western dragon appearance]
Although all of these were news stories that had already been reported, most of the people present had seen them to some extent.
However, besides the report itself, this document seems to contain quite a few pictures that have not been officially released.
Even if these pictures were released, the public probably wouldn't believe them.
However, after seeing these pictures, everyone abandoned their initial nonchalance and their expressions gradually became serious.
Others may not believe it, but they believe it wholeheartedly.
"...This must be someone like us, right? But just how many levels does he have? It's just too incredible!"
After reading through all the documents, one of them looked up at the man in disbelief and asked a question.
"Could it be that all of these things were done by the same person?"
Hearing what his companions said, the man shook his head.
"Whether it was made by the same person is unknown for now, but I'd like to ask everyone what their thoughts are after seeing these?"
Thoughts?
The group looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.
Or perhaps they all had the same idea in their hearts, but none of them were the first to start it.
Seeing this, the man couldn't help but sigh.
It seems I have to speak first.
The man conjured a cigarette out of thin air with his two fingers, put it in his mouth, and calmly said:
Don't you all think our lives are a bit too stifling right now?
“We have already seen through the true nature of this world, possess superhuman strength, and are even immortal, so why should we still follow the rules like ordinary people?”
Everyone unconsciously clenched their fists and silently lowered their heads.
What men say is naturally what they are thinking.
If Qi Ming were present at this moment, he could tell at a glance that these people were not human... Of course, they were not monsters either.
Instead, it is an awakened human-machine that is born after system intervention.
It is clearly no coincidence that so many awakened people have gathered here.
They all belong to the same organization.
It was the organization Karasuma Renya had sought out, founded by some unknown figure, that was recruiting awakened human-machines everywhere.
After looking around at everyone and seeing no one respond, the man took a deep drag of his cigarette and said.
"As you have all seen, besides our organization, there are actually many people who haven't joined us at all."
"But what about us? After joining this lousy organization, we're like birds with their wings clipped, unable to do anything."
"Let's hide our identities and continue to follow those rules... Follow the rules? Baka yarou! Do we even need to follow the rules anymore?"
The man became increasingly agitated. He took a deep drag on his cigarette and then exhaled the smoke.
As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, becoming increasingly agitated. Even the cigarette in his mouth trembled slightly with excitement, and the cigarette butt was already wet with his saliva.
"You want us to keep a low profile and live like normal people? Pshaw! What's the difference between us and ordinary people then?"
"Did we join this organization just to live this mundane life?"
There is an unwritten rule in their organization that governs the behavior of every member.
That means no one, regardless of who they are, is allowed to cause trouble or create problems.
Perhaps it was to prevent others from noticing their special status, or perhaps it was to protect the members and prevent them from being targeted.
However, perhaps precisely because of this rule, there aren't many Awakened Machines causing trouble outside, so indeed no one has noticed them.
Those who caused trouble were all people who had not joined their organization.
At first, the man didn't think there was anything wrong with the rule, until he saw so many outrageous news stories online and started to feel unbalanced.
Even if they don't cause trouble, others will, but we don't see them being targeted or suffering divine retribution!
The more he looked, the more the man began to have some suspicions.
That means deliberately causing trouble and doing bad things; you might level up faster and get richer rewards.
Otherwise, there's no reason to explain how these people in the news could do so many outrageous things!
So, now that I'm a superior person, why should I live like an ordinary person?
Everyone has a dark side, especially after gaining great power.
He wants to sleep with women, he wants to be a big brother, he has so many things he wants to do, so why is he so restrained?
The men stopped venting, and after a long while, one of them spoke.
"However, the boss also gives us equipment when we stay here."
The man chuckled, took the cigarette off his head, and flicked off the ash.
"Give away equipment? Isn't all the equipment the boss gives out just junk he got from quests that he doesn't want anymore? Aren't the equipment we get from quests ourselves better than what he gives out?"
Seeing that everyone still looked conflicted, the man sighed.
"In short, I quit. What kind of person am I, acting so timidly all day?"
"Times have changed since we gained power; we are now the true masters of this world."
Seeing the man turn and walk towards the rooftop door, the remaining people were still conflicted.
However, upon hearing the sound of the iron gate being opened, one of them spoke up.
"...That's what I think too!"
He has already figured it out.
When you have money, you have to show it off; when you have power, you have to demonstrate your skills!
Once someone spoke up, the others exchanged glances and followed suit.
"Me too."
"Same as above."
"But, will the boss find out?"
"Ha, so what if he found out? Can he kill us?"
Seeing that everyone had made up their minds, the man stopped in his tracks, turned around, and patted them on the shoulders.
"Let's go, brothers! From today onwards, we'll do whatever we want!"
