206 This Site Is Cursed! / 207 The Y Files

Moreover, the beautiful female host is pleasing to the eye.

Shuya handed over other miscellaneous tasks to Bie Yao and immediately began recording the first episode.

The guest in the first episode is Shuten Gozaburo, the Tokyo leader of the Shuten Family. He won the drinking contest against the other Monster and got the first chance to appear.

This first recording was very slow, with repeated shots of battle scenes along the way, but the final quality is quite good.

After completing the first episode, the subsequent recordings became faster and smoother, Shuya recorded six episodes in one go.

By the time the data collection was completed, it was already July.

After extensive preparations, it's about time for it to officially open.

Shuya gave the collected materials to the Half-Monster for post-processing before going to inspect the current situation.

The design of both the Surface and Hidden Website is complete, and the entry point for the Hidden Website is located in the upper right corner of the Surface Website.

The entrance to the Hidden Website is an image designed by a Monster skilled in Strange Arts. This image has the Power of Will identify and attract those with extraordinary mental abilities.

Anyone whose Power of Will surpasses that of an ordinary person will see this entrance and develop a strong curiosity, wanting to click in and take a look.

Once you click through, you'll see a brand new homepage.

Section 222, Page 206: This website is toxic!

To intimidate newbies, a promotional PV for a show featuring Xiu Ye and a great Monster, edited by Xiu Ye himself Shuya, will automatically pop up when a newcomer clicks on it. The PV includes exciting battle scenes to set the tone.

After watching the PV, a science explanation will pop up on the page, explaining what kind of website it is.

Shuya wasn't worried that people wouldn't believe him.

Only those with extraordinary Power of Will can access this feature; such people have been able to see or sense strange things since childhood, and this understanding is fundamental to their knowledge.

Besides, everyone already knows that gods and Monster exist, so they don't consider it a hoax.

After checking the Surface and Hidden Website, Shuya began to see what the Monster had uploaded.

This is truly an eyesore.

Most Monster are very proud of their monster forms, and most videos feature them showing off their figures.

Damn it, you're an idiot.

Their filming skills are terrible; all they do is twist and turn in front of the camera, it's practically mental pollution.

However, these videos are also extreme, ranging from very bad to extremely good.

Those female Half-Monster were truly a breath of fresh air.

Fox-eared wolves, cat-eared girls, dog-eared girls... all sorts of Half-Monster girls are giving out plenty of fan service, and their unique charm, different from that of ordinary people, is quite captivating.

It's said that Monster are generally above average in appearance.

Fortunately, the Fox Demon's Charm Art cannot be cast through a screen.

But Fox Demon spirits are generally very good-looking, Shuya could imagine how many simps there would be in the future.

Okay, actually, for him/her, whether or not a video is recorded, there are plenty of simps.

Shuya glanced through all the videos.

Eighty percent of the videos are garbage, including those featuring women showing off their bodies; the content is all meaningless.

Only the remaining 20% is somewhat interesting.

One-tenth of them are combat videos.

One-tenth is a talent show.

The content is rough, but the website is newly launched and there's no reference material, so you can't expect it to be very good.

I'm too lazy to think about the level of explicitness; just don't make it too vulgar or violent.

**It's definitely not allowed to be exposed, the fighting can't be too bloody, and it can't be too bizarre either.

Basically, there are only these three rules, and the standards are quite lenient.

And so, in July, when summer vacation began, the website was officially launched to the public.

Shuya lazy to think of a name for the video website, so he just called it niconico.

"Damn it, I saw it again."

That night, as Miyake Nariaki walked through the alley without looking to the side, he clearly saw a transparent ghost floating around in the darkness out of the corner of his eye.

He left quickly, not appearing overly panicked.

He has seen different things since he was a child.

Ghosts and hidden Monster, etc.

During his school years, he met some Half-Monster classmates who said that he was born with superhuman Power of Will, which allowed him to sense many things.

Miyake Nariaki was very scared when he was a child, but he didn't feel anything about it when he grew up.

Especially after becoming a corporate slave, he deeply realized that working overtime is more terrifying than ghosts or anything like that.

Humans are far more terrifying than ghosts.

He stuck to that view, but... it's better not to involve ghosts or anything like that.

Miyake Nariaki breathed a sigh of relief after getting away from the ghost.

Seeing the ghost made him feel unlucky today, and he lost his appetite for the izakaya, deciding to just go home and play on his computer.

He was filled with anticipation when he thought about the computer.

His Half-Monster friend told him a little secret: the Monster in Tokyo recently collaborated with someone to create a video website with lots of interesting videos.

He had seen some screenshots, all of them featuring Half-Monster girls who were either innocent or alluring. All he could think about was going for it.

Miyake Nariaki's friend didn't have the patience to tell him the details; he just showed off and left.

But he had read in the newspapers that Inoue Shuya and Inoue Hikoo were working on establishing Japan's first video website, and that it was being heavily publicized.

Miyake Nariaki is also an otaku who enjoys watching anime, so he's really looking forward to it.

But he had a question. He had heard from a friend that the Earth Federation had rules against showing their faces too much, so what was going on with this video website? How dare those Monster appear so openly?

Has the wind shifted?

Miyake Nariaki didn't understand, nor did he dare to ask.

Anyway, I'll just go back and take a look.

He bought a bento box at the convenience store and went home, too lazy to spend time eating at the store.

Miyake Nariaki returned to his apartment where he lived alone, changed his clothes, and then turned on his computer.

"Oh right, what's the website called again... Never mind, just searching for Inoue Shuya' should bring up the results."

He logged into Yahoo with practiced ease.

Upon entering the Yahoo homepage, he saw a prominent advertisement.

The image is a small TV-like icon with the title "Niconico Douga" next to it, and below it is the promotional text that the first video website in Japan Administrative District has been launched. The accompanying images are thumbnails of various anime and movies.

"Ah, yes, it's Ninko..."

It means to smile.

Miyake Nariaki didn't pay much attention to the name, but he clicked his tongue in amazement. "They've done so many ads, they must be rich."

"But I didn't see any of those good deals..."

He clicked on the website with doubt in his mind.

Upon entering the website, he saw a simple yet stylish homepage with category tags at the top and rows of recommended videos below.

At a glance, he noticed that all the recommendations were famous classics, many of which he had heard of but never read.

Seeing these classic works so neatly arranged on the same website, he couldn't help but find it convenient and had the idea of catching up on them.

But with the Half-Monster girl on his mind, he resolutely looked away.

Then, at that moment, he saw it.

There's a video being heavily promoted across the entire site in the top left corner of the screen.

Its cover features a beautiful, very blue sky.

In this sky, four portraits, etched into the DNA of Miyake Nariaki by side.

Uesugi Yuichi Nakamura Cho, Cho Yuzuki Sasaki, Hikari-chan are all smiling happily...

Yes.

It's that damned, inhuman, stupid thing that deserves to be punished by heaven...

Original ending for Alien Baby Hikari-chan!!!

Screw you, Inoue Hikoo!!!!!

Miyake Nariaki recalled his initial shock, grievance, and indignation, as well as the days of resistance during the snowy weather.

Back then, he was a college student and he also participated in the protests.

He thought he had forgotten about it, but seeing those four avatars still stirred up a surge of anger within him.

He ignored the words "Danmaku system test video" written on it and clicked on it aggressively.

Then, when he clicked on the video, he saw rows of text swiping across from the right.

The door to a new world has been opened.

He quickly mastered the "Danmaku" function and joined in the frenzy of Inoue Hikoo.

The despicable idea of using this episode to get people to Danmaku was clearly Shuya's idea.

This episode has so many flaws that I can't help but criticize it.

Once they tried the Danmaku system, they could never go back.

Miyake Nariaki picked up his keyboard and unleashed a torrent of witty remarks.

Before I knew it, the episode was over.

When he tried to go out to find the Half-Monster girl, he discovered that the blacked-out playback screen had displayed a screenshot from the first episode of Sakura.

That was a portal.

He recalled Sakura's storyline and then thought back to the joy he had just experienced watching the anime with the Danmaku.

"..."

He fell silent.

With trembling hands, Miyake Nariaki resolutely clicked the button.

This crappy website...

Poisonous!

Section 223, Y File

When Miyake Nariaki came to his senses, it was already dawn.

His hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, and he truly had an ethereal air about him.

"Call..."

He drew back the curtains, opened the window, leaned against the window frame, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.

"That felt great."

As the saying goes, staying up all night is fun for a while, and staying up all night repeatedly is even more fun.

He's so happy he feels like he's about to ascend to heaven in broad daylight.
