Chapter 73 Mythical Revival
"What are you saying, Xiao Chen?" Wang Jianguo asked curiously, looking at Chen Yang who was acting mysteriously.
Chen Yang saw that Jiang He and Su Fan also looked completely bewildered, and knew that they knew nothing.
"That's the video! It's gone viral on the internet. The Japanese myth has been revived, and they've completely crushed the American army, making them cry for their parents." Chen Yang looked incredibly excited.
Su Fan felt something was off when he heard Chen Yang bragging about his glorious deeds. Was the speed of information dissemination really that fast these days? It seemed reasonable, given that it was the information age.
"Huh?! I've been in the lab and haven't been online. Tell me more." Jiang He was quite interested, even though she knew Chen Yang always liked to attribute everything to mysticism.
"You mean that thing in Japan? I thought it was something else?" Su Fan asked.
"Brother Su, your attitude is wrong! The entire internet is buzzing about it, you're clearly being too nonchalant," Chen Yang said with some dissatisfaction.
"What the heck is that external website?" Wang Jianguo felt that there was indeed a deep generation gap between himself and others.
"It's like an overseas version of the internet! After all, even foreign barbarians need to go online!" Chen Yang explained to Wang Jianguo.
"Go on! And then?" Jiang He asked curiously.
"Brother Su, you already know, so why don't you tell Uncle Wang and Sister Jiang?" Chen Yang felt that his teammates were not on the same page as him, and he was a little tired. It was supposed to be a world-shaking event, but his teammates either didn't know or didn't care.
"You should explain it! After all, I really don't know how to describe this." Su Fan naturally disagreed. As the mastermind behind it all, it felt a bit strange for him to say it himself, like he was bragging.
"Okay! I'll continue. Videos on the internet show that countless ghostly spirits appeared at the US military base in Japan and attacked the US military."
"A god statue appeared right behind him. That guy was incredibly powerful. Tanks were like paper in his hands, and helicopters were like toys. He single-handedly swept through an entire base."
"One man formed an army, and the American army was left with corpses strewn across the battlefield. The bloodshed was so intense and bloody that it could not even be described as a description of the scene."
"You think that's the end of it? Not at all! At first, they were just a bunch of demonic spirits, and all sorts of gunfire had no effect on them. Later, the gods, however, had physical forms, and they reacted when rockets hit them, but they repaired themselves."
"That's not all. This god was also defeated by a sissy who appeared on the scene. He was easily sealed away with a single array." Chen Yang spoke with great enthusiasm, gesturing wildly as he recounted the story.
Su Fan felt a sense of joy and wonder. How could the Onmyoji Abe no Gen, whom he was playing, be considered effeminate? He was clearly just pretty.
"What's this sissy you're talking about?" Su Fan asked in a sinister tone.
"Huh!? That sissy! He's supposedly the national advisor of Japan, a really fierce guy! No exaggeration, I even think that guy is inhumanly strong and inhumanly handsome. Even I, a guy, think that sissy is handsome." Chen Yang said casually, not caring at all.
"Just because he's good-looking, you call him effeminate?" Su Fan coaxed gently.
"Of course, I heard it's a guy, but he's so good-looking, he's even more attractive than international actresses. A real man should be tough! A pretty boy is just a sissy." Chen Yang said nonchalantly, completely unaware of the danger.
"Oh! Is that so!" Su Fan secretly made a mental note of Chen Yang's insult, thinking, "So you're calling me a sissy, huh!"
"This sounds ridiculous! Is this some kind of shamanistic ritual to summon gods down to earth?" Wang Jianguo was still somewhat incredulous, wondering if Chen Yang was exaggerating.
"Uncle Wang, don't think like that. There's video evidence. It's absolutely impossible to fake it. The matter has caused quite a stir; how could a shaman possibly pull it off?" Chen Yang retorted.
"If Japan were really that powerful, how could it have been bullied so badly by the United States before?" Jiang He was also skeptical.
"Sister Jiang, what do you mean by this? Do you think I'm just making things up? Seriously, when you get back to reality, check the information. There are foreign barbarians on Qingyu Island too. Go ask them if you don't believe me!" Chen Yang said somewhat displeased, feeling that he was being questioned.
"Furthermore! That's not the point! The point is the revival of the mythology! Sister Jiang, you haven't grasped the key point at all," Chen Yang complained.
"What's this about the revival of mythology? And why are you so excited?" Su Fan asked.
"Brother Su, you've seen the video too, so why do you seem to only have a superficial understanding?" Chen Yang looked at Su Fan with some suspicion.
Chen Yang's gaze made Su Fan feel challenged. Seriously? Who knew more about the Japan affair than him? No one understood the entire process better than Su Fan.
It's nothing more than a fake "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" phantom, the Sugawara no Michizane statue beating up a military base, and the Onmyoji Abe no Illusion suppressing Sugawara no Michizane!
Adhering to the principle of listening to both sides, Su Fan forcibly held back and asked, "I've seen it! What you said is correct, but there's no sign of any mythological revival!"
Chen Yang said, "I really doubt whether you've even watched the video, Brother Su. Isn't the situation pretty obvious?"
"From the appearance of the legendary Japanese monsters and spirits, to that statue beating up the American army, and then to the intervention of the Onmyoji! It's clearly telling us that this is the beginning of a mythological revival! Let me tell you the story in detail!"
"That statue is a bronze statue of Sugawara no Michizane!" Su Fan said solemnly, indicating that he really knew the situation.
"Who cares if it's Sugawara no Michizane or Mikadoku! Why do yokai appear in spirit form at first? I looked up Japanese folklore today, and theoretically, some yokai have physical forms. The appearance of a spirit only means they can't descend to earth in a physical body!"
"The Japanese deity in the back isn't a physical being descending; rather, its soul is attached to the statue, which means the current environment isn't suitable for their descent, right?"
"Uh! It seems like there's nothing wrong with it." Su Fan nodded, feeling that Chen Yang's words seemed to make sense, but something still felt off.
Because the extraordinary powers described in religions, folk tales, and myths do not exist in Japan, or in human civilization in general.
The fake Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) was summoned by him; Sugawara no Michizane was enlightened by him, because he did not exist in the first place and therefore could not descend in a physical body!
"Isn't it obvious?! Su-ge, you're usually so smart, how come you still don't understand now!" Chen Yang said, exasperated.
"The fact that they can leave traces in beliefs and legends indicates that they existed before, but we haven't found any traces of their existence, which means they disappeared. And now they have reappeared, so things are quite clear."
"In the past, humans and gods lived together in the world, so they were able to leave traces in human civilization. But later, for some unknown reason, they all left. But now they have returned, isn't this a revival of mythology? I'm afraid that in the future, more and more gods will be revived, and countless gods will emerge from mythology and descend upon the world."
"..." Su Fan hesitated, Chen Yang's logic was so rigorous!
But is that really the case? Yes, definitely.
