Chapter 395 The Soul of Zaun Awakens, Miss Nightingale Requests to Add You as a Friend!
"Broly, killing is wrong, and it will burden you with a guilty conscience!"
The boy offered some words of advice.
"A debt of conscience? What's that? I don't feel it at all."
Broly looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Rentaro Satomi originally wanted to say, "Because you've never killed anyone," but then he suddenly realized that when he first met the boy, the boy had killed two security guards on a whim because they had said something bad about him.
Realizing that he couldn't reason with the Saiyan boy from another world using the morals of a normal person, he immediately changed his approach.
"Killing her might not solve the problem; it could make public opinion worse towards Enju. Didn't Kisaragi-nee say that?"
"Then what should we do? Just let others say whatever they want?"
Broly was still open to advice, after all, he had never encountered such a situation before and didn't know if killing people directly would solve the problem.
"Isn't the Holy Emperor coming to comfort Yanju? With the head of state's affirmation, those news agencies that report things recklessly will definitely not dare to report things recklessly anymore."
Rentaro Satomi thought for a moment and then said.
"I'm fine, as long as everyone is willing to believe me."
When they returned to the classroom and found Aihara Enju, this is what the girl said.
Her skin has thickened somewhat in the last few days, and she no longer blushes when she lies.
"Aihara-kun, the principal is looking for you. Mr. Satomi and Mr. Broly, if you can, please come along too."
The homeroom teacher came over and approached Lan Yuanyanzhu. Seeing that the boy and the boy hadn't left yet, she called them over as well.
"I wonder what Principal Yoshida wants to see Enju about?"
Upon entering the principal's office, Rentaro Satomi went straight to the question.
"It's about negative rumors circulating in the media."
The boy's expression turned serious, thinking that he wanted Yeon-joo to drop out of school.
"Please rest assured, our school is willing to issue a clarification statement on behalf of Lan Yuan on our official online social media accounts."
However, what Principal Yoshida said surprised him somewhat.
But upon closer reflection, Rentaro Satomi realized that the other party had made definitive statements in front of the media, and now turning around and betraying them was undoubtedly a slap in their own face.
"Our school will contact other parents to help Lan Yuan prove his innocence."
Principal Yoshida called them over to discuss this matter, but there was another matter at hand.
"Mr. Satomi, there will probably be a lot of reporters waiting at the school gate to interview Aihara and you. I hope you can stay calm and avoid conflicts with those reporters, like Mr. Broly's slap..."
The old principal had heard about the boy's methods, but while slapping might work in school, it might not be effective in front of the media.
If someone were to randomly assault someone, it would likely become a much bigger news story.
"If someone wants to interview me, I'll just tell them directly that I was the one who hit them, so what?"
Broly asked the question.
"I'm afraid it's no use; those reporters' target is Lan Yuan."
The old principal shook his head, opened a news website on his laptop, and showed the comments below to the people in front of him.
"Now, the issues of Lan Yuan saving someone and assaulting someone are now at odds. The news media probably want to make this a hot topic even more. At this point, even if you tell the truth, I doubt anyone will believe the so-called truth."
The truth about school violence is that it was done by a boy who wasn't even in school. How could school violence be the work of a cursed child? That would cause a public outcry and attract more attention.
There's no point in trying to explain now. Based on the old principal's years of experience as a veteran netizen before the disaster, the best solution is for the official school account to issue a formal clarification, for the students' parents to come forward and explain, and for the matter to be handled quietly.
Once the hype dies down, the media outlets stirring up trouble will naturally stop.
After all, no one will do something for a long time if there's no profit to be made.
The old principal's idea is good, but only if no one causes trouble behind the scenes.
"Can I borrow this?"
Broly looked at his laptop and suddenly asked.
"What are you going to do?"
The old principal looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"I'm going to tell them the truth!"
Broly had no prior experience with the internet, but he was no stranger to online communication; Crystal Palace's group chat rooms were similar, and he intended to use them to clarify the situation.
"If you promise not to hit people randomly, then it's okay."
Faced with the choice between the boy potentially assaulting a reporter and borrowing the boy's computer to post truth-clarification comments online, the former principal chose to lend out his own office laptop.
"How do I use this?"
Bro tried to speak using his mind, but found that the laptop hadn't changed, so he asked the people around him.
"Oh, you don't know how to use it?"
"I've used something similar, but that one allowed you to speak simply by thinking."
"Think about it?"
Principal Yoshida looked puzzled, but Rentaro Satomi picked up where he left off.
"I'll teach you how to use it."
Under the boy's guidance, the sound of crisp keyboard tapping soon filled the principal's office.
Broly typed rapidly on his keyboard, posting the truth of the assault in the comments section of the news article, in the name of the person involved.
"Ha, you're obviously a hired internet troll to whitewash this trashy school!"
Enju Aihara returned to the classroom, while Rentaro Satomi revealed to the old principal that the Holy Emperor might visit the school.
Just as the old principal was pulling the boy aside and quietly asking if the information was reliable, they heard Broly ask, "What is an online troll army?"
The old principal turned his head and casually explained to the Saiyan boy what online trolls were.
Upon hearing this, Broly realized that the other person thought he was a fake online actor, so he immediately started typing and arguing with the guy who said he was a paid troll.
Living on the edge of the inner city near the outer city, a颓废 man working in the online public opinion industry is doing a trolling task he received just last night.
Suddenly, he noticed a small Karami on the screen, who was a tourist, typing a long message trying to refute his trolling remarks. He immediately smiled disdainfully.
However, even these serious fools on the internet have their value. As long as they get the other person into a heated argument and start arguing back, there are plenty of people online who enjoy watching the spectacle.
He immediately started typing a reply...
"Bang!"
A huge commotion soon broke out in the principal's office of Goutian Elementary School.
Rentaro Satomi and Principal Yoshida were startled and turned to look. They saw that the laptop had turned into a pile of sparkling scrap metal, and the table had been split in two.
The Saiyan boy was furious, his aura terrifying, like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.
"Broly, what's wrong?"
The boy asked cautiously.
"There's this guy who just won't believe me, no matter what I say, I can't convince him. I want to punch him!"
"Calm down. There are trashy trolls like this on the internet. Just ignore what they say."
Broly picked up the shattered laptop from the ground, completely ignoring the near-explosion caused by the damaged battery. Only after crumpling the laptop into a ball did he calm down.
"Make me another one of these."
The Saiyan boy threw the ball over and said...
"Are you still going to post online?"
Rentaro Satomi asked.
"I'm going to curse that guy to death, asterisk, asterisk, asterisk..."
The Saiyan boy was swearing.
The distant memories of Zaun were awakened from the depths of consciousness in this peculiar situation.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
If Broly had not been born, the Path of the Jetpack would have remained in perpetual darkness.
When Aihara Enju got home from school, she had just entered the house when she heard the clattering of keyboard keys.
"What is Broly doing?"
The girl looked at the three laptops in front of the boy, his fingers moving across the keyboard like phantoms, and couldn't help but ask the boy next to her a question.
"Broly is currently engaged in a huge online flame war over you..."
Rentaro Satomi, with a subtle expression, explained the situation to Enju Aihara.
The Saiyan boy is terrifying not only in real-world combat but also online.
After buying the computer, Rentaro Satomi watched it from the side. After watching for half an hour, he discovered that the boy's elegant messages were all different.
Centered on the mother, with relatives as the radius, the father as the assistant, and ancestors as the goal, a warm and friendly greeting was extended to the trolls and their families on the other side of the internet.
Later, more people came to criticize him (those who thought Broly was a small caramel but were being called a "red-hot" hater gathered other haters to criticize him together).
Broly then had the boy buy more computers, and he began operating three computers at once, using three accounts to engage in online debates with groups of trolls.
Rentaro Satomi took out his phone and looked at the trending post that already had tens of thousands of replies. He felt that this war of words was far from over.
Just as the middle-aged man who was a cyberbully had predicted, once the online war of words started, there were quite a few netizens watching the spectacle.
Moreover, because the online battle revolved around the sensitive topic of the "cursed child," many bystanders and netizens spontaneously joined the fray, saying things they wouldn't dare say in real life without any restraint online.
Many people anonymously expressed their opinions on the Cursed Child. Some sided with the online trolls, but surprisingly, others sided with Broly, who posted under the name of the person involved but ended up hurling insults at the trolls and is now known as "Foul-mouthed Kid Bro" by a group of netizens.
Of course, many netizens who sided with Broly were just looking for fun, purely attracted by his extreme verbal abuse that put him in a one-against-many situation.
Putting aside whether the "Cursed Child" engages in school violence or is social trash, the foul-mouthed kid's art of cursing is something to be worshipped.
Because of this absurd reason, some people sided with Broly in criticizing the online trolls, and the post became increasingly popular due to the back-and-forth between the two sides.
Of course, this is also because the sun has set, and some working-class people have the opportunity to use their phones to read some trending news after work.
"Editor-in-chief, should we ban this post?"
At the NHK headquarters in the Tokyo area, staff members, seeing the increasing number of visitors flooding into the website, immediately went to inquire with the editor-in-chief in charge of the television station's website.
"Are you crazy? This post is so popular, attracting so much external traffic, and you're going to ban it?"
The website editor stared wide-eyed at the foolish subordinate who had raised the question.
"But the server is about to break down, and this topic is so sensitive, won't our TV station be affected?"
"The bold get rich, the timid starve. So what if the topic is sensitive? We've made the most of this traffic; our year-end bonuses will at least multiply several times over. If we don't have enough servers, we'll add more!"
Media professionals, why would they be afraid of topics that are too big?
"Editor-in-chief, Shengju has officially announced some news..."
Just then, another subordinate ran in. The TV station editor-in-chief looked at the official announcement in his hand regarding the Emperor's upcoming trip to comfort and save the cursed girl who had saved many students, and stopped the foolish subordinate who was about to leave.
"Add ten servers!"
As the Tokyo Evening News reported on it, an even larger influx of netizens flooded the NHK television website.
The online feud between Broly and internet trolls quickly garnered over 50,000 replies.
Furthermore, NHK's website department even created a special homepage banner for this trending post.
Before long, this post, filled with insults, went viral on the international internet.
In the United States, at a military base, Tina Sprantt, having just finished her Senfield multi-operation and mobile shooting training, was surfing the internet before bed when she suddenly came across a link titled "[Kid who dares to speak for the cursed child]".
Curious about what this meant, Tina clicked the link below the title. The next moment, her tablet computer was redirected to the website of Japan's NHK television station.
After glancing at the news above, the owl girl, who had been feeling a bit sleepy, suddenly perked up.
The internet has witnessed the diversity of humanity. There are people who speak up for the cursed child online, but it is rare to see someone who can attack multiple people at once without losing ground.
"Such a fast response time, and these three default numeric IDs seem to be controlled by the same person. Could it be that the other person has also had a neural network chip implanted in their brain?"
Watching the ongoing fierce verbal battle, Tina couldn't help but think that the real person behind one of the protagonists, whom Japanese netizens called "Foul-mouthed Kid," was a cursed child like herself, and that he had also undergone mechanical modification, with something similar to a neuronal chip implanted in his brain.
Tina was somewhat attracted and unconsciously registered an account on the website, naming it "miss Nightingale". She followed Broly's three accounts and sent a short private message to one of them, saying, "I believe in you, keep going!"
At Rentaro Satomi's house, Broly was still typing away on his keyboard. Countless people were sending him private messages from his three accounts, insulting him. He didn't hold back in replying to those online trolls who were cursing him, sending messages that were also directed at their families.
His Zaunian spirit was burning fiercely, and his Saiyan-like physique allowed him to unleash various Zaunian dialects in online flame wars.
Just as he opened a private message from America to reply to, his fingers, which were about to type out some scathing words, suddenly stopped typing.
【Thanks.】
Many people were willing to cheer him on and speak up for the cursed son, but only one person sent a private message expressing trust in his initial post.
Let's add each other as friends!
Tina didn't expect to get a reply from the kid, so after thinking about it, she sent another private message.
【it is good. 】
Broly agreed, but didn't know how to proceed.
[Miss Nightingale requests to add you as a friend, do you accept?]
Just then, a notification message popped up.
Broly agreed, and one of the three online accounts he had registered that day had a single American friend on its friend list.
The online feud continued late into the night. Only after the Holy Palace announced that the Holy Emperor would be visiting the next day and would be questioning and investigating the cursed girl who saved her classmates did the online trolls, who were essentially hired trolls, quiet down.
Although there were still some self-proclaimed haters, without the leading group of haters, they were quickly silenced by Broly's barrage of criticism.
The online feud on NHK's website eventually reached over 100,000 replies, with more than 30,000 of them posted by Broly using three accounts.
The fact that the three spacebar keys on the newly purchased computer were visibly sunken was a testament to the Saiyan boy's awakened Zaunite spirit and his extraordinary online fighting ability.
