Chapter 651 555 Oh My God!!! Even Novels Don’t Dare to Write Like This!

"Big Sword" is a comic created by neon cartoonist Kyouhiro Yagi.

Since ancient times, demons have invaded the human world, taking the form of humans and devouring human internal organs. Humans, who are helpless against the demons, can only turn to female warriors carrying giant swords for help.

Because warriors gained superhuman strength due to the mixture of demon flesh and blood in their bodies, humans also regarded them as aliens. On the one hand, they relied on them to kill demons, but on the other hand, they feared and rejected them, calling them "Claymore". (Big Sword)".

When the appearance of demons broke the peaceful life of an ordinary mountain village, the helpless village chief had no choice but to turn to the Big Sword Organization for help.

A soldier with a cold face accepted the commission and came here, thus kicking off this magnificent story.

"Big Sword" is undoubtedly a work worthy of attention.

It not only has the visual impact of "Attack on Titan" and "Legend of Blades", but also gives the story a unique depth. This does not simply place women at the forefront of the battle, but depicts how they struggle to survive in a cruel world, grow stronger, and ultimately transform into invincible warriors.

As of December, Big Sword has only serialized 4 issues, but the story already has enough appeal.

Many readers commented that "this comic seems to be very powerful".

In the previous life, "Big Sword" began to be serialized in "Monthly Shonen Jump" in July 2001.

This life may be affected by the butterfly effect, because pokeni founded a comic magazine called Mu Tong, and there is also an annual light novel and comic award with a prize amount of up to 10 million yen.

In the past few years, it has accumulated a lot of popularity and is gradually catching up.

Although it is not as good as the established large companies such as Kodansha and Shogakukan that have been in business for decades, it has gradually opened up and become one of the most popular comic magazines among young people.

In particular, the bonuses are generous, and many nationally popular masterpieces have been released in recent years.

For example, the earliest "Yu-Gi-Oh!", "Naruto" at the beginning of last year, etc.

This time, Yagi Kyohiro chose to publish "Big Sword" in Mutong Magazine. He probably had similar considerations.

It also shows from the side that the influence of Muchong magazine and the pokeni group behind it cannot be underestimated.

At the same time, it also shows that pokeni has not only achieved success in the fields of games and the Internet, but has also begun to emerge in the fields of comics and light novels.

What is this called?

This is called the power of capital.

Suddenly it spans multiple platforms in the cultural industry.

Moreover, these platforms also have ecological relationships with each other.

Qing Zhiyuan stood in the president's office with a slightly satisfied smile on his face.

Shinji Mikami and Kazuma Takahashi saw this and couldn't help but feel a little amused.

Isn't it just a comic?

Is the president worthy of being so happy?

…

"I always feel like I've seen this comic somewhere before." Shinji Mikami flipped through it and said with some confusion.

Qing Zhiyuan rolled his eyes, how could it be different?

"Have you forgotten? That game made by Gen Urobuchi and Hidetaka Miyazaki." Before Qing Zhiyuan could speak, the operations director next to him, Kazuma Takahashi, took the lead and explained with a smile.

"Ah! The Witcher 2!" Shinji Mikami punched his fist and immediately thought, "I wonder why it looks so familiar."

It's quite similar. In The Witcher 2, demon warriors gain powerful demonic power by being planted with demon eggs. After death, they will turn into unconscious demons who can only kill.

Among the great swords, each great sword is actually a transformed warrior with demonic power.

Once the demonic power is out of control, they will become complete demons.

The settings of the two are indeed very similar. The biggest difference is that the protagonists of Big Sword are mainly girls.

And the portrayal of each character is quite wonderful.

Rather than saying that the great sword has the shadow of "The Witcher 2", it is better to say that it has the shadow of "Legend of Sword" and "Devilman".

Swordsman Legend, Devilman, the influence of these comics is really profound.

Qing Zhiyuan thought.

But this is actually how human beings are, with future generations stepping on the shoulders of their predecessors and moving forward step by step.

"I actually asked Yagi Kyouhiro, and he said that part of the inspiration came from The Witcher 2. Of course, more of them have a little bit of the shadow of "Sword and Wind Legend"."

Eh?

This time it was Qing Zhiyuan's turn to be surprised.

He couldn't help but smile to himself.

It’s also very interesting to say that it was obviously us who copied the big sword, but in turn it promoted the creation of "Big Sword".

Just like pokeni developed games before, which in turn promoted Capcom's "Onimusha".

This cycle of fate can't help but shudder.

…

"Let's see if we can develop "Big Sword" into "The Witcher 3"." Qing Zhiyuan looked at Shinji Mikami with a smile.

The latter hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"President, you are really discerning. "Big Sword" and "The Witcher" have a close relationship.

And it seems that so far, we have indeed never released a witcher work with girls as the main body.

The character of Da Jian is also well portrayed and fits the role very well. "

Mikami Shinji flattered Qing Zhiyuan quite comfortably, making him raise his mouth slightly, and even doubted whether this guy really believed it or was just doing it for the president's sake.

But his expression was particularly sincere, and every word he said was so professional and just right.

He even began to imagine what skills these characters should be given when they were put into the game.

"It is almost impossible to achieve the close combat in the comics, not to mention cutting off certain parts of the body, which will cause the character to be modeled.

We can study this as a topic first."

Mikami Shinji talked a lot, and finally concluded: "But there are only 4 episodes at present, and it seems difficult to adapt before the final ending comes out. It would be a good choice to reserve a sequel to "The Demon Hunter" for the great sword in the future."

"Well, you can plan it here." Qing Zhiyuan said it didn't matter.

As long as Urobuchi can continue to produce subsequent scripts, it would be good to launch a game after "Claymore" has been serialized for three to five years and its popularity has risen.

Several people were chatting happily in the president's office.

Before they knew it, it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening.

"Okay, then we'll talk about the specific situation tomorrow." Qing Zhiyuan packed up and prepared to leave.

...

"It's bad, it's bad, President!" The little secretary rushed in anxiously.

Qing Zhiyuan frowned twice, "What's bad?"

Ayase Akane swallowed silently, and said after a little pause:

"Something happened in the United States."

"The plane crashed into the Twin Towers, and both towers collapsed!"

"What?" Hearing this news, Kazuma Takahashi was terrified.

His first reaction was--

The US stock market is going to fall again!

...

This day is December 11, 2001.

It has been more than a year since the Nasdaq bubble burst, and it has fallen from 4,300 points to 1,600 points.

Recently, it has begun to recover steadily.

For Americans, it is only a matter of time before the stock market returns to its original peak.

Apple brought back Jobs as CEO to take charge of the company again. After returning to Apple, he released several new products in 2001, and Apple's stock price began to rise.

At the same time, many Internet companies that had fallen to the bottom due to the bubble burst also rose, such as Amazon and Google...

People have sensed the momentum of economic recovery, and the United States' hegemonic position in the economic field is unshakable.

At the same time, the news media has also released a lot of exciting news-

The coalition led by the United States will prepare to enter Khanfua soon, and start a war against the Earthly Organization and its people, intending to arrest Ben La Deng.

The strong national power, strong military, political and economic strength, make Americans full of confidence.

In this case, everyone believes that the future will get better and better.

The whole world is watching, and many people have invested in the US market, hoping to catch a wave of bottoms when those companies with great investment value in the future are at a low point.

Including Buffett, who was later called the stock god, he also strongly bought many Internet industry stocks.

No one would believe that under such circumstances, the US stock market would fall.

How could it fall?

According to many people in the industry -

Unless, one day, a fireball falls from the sky and hits Wall Street.

Or, it is occupied by aliens, which may lead to a big drop.

…

December 11.

On this day, although there was no fireball or aliens.

However, a passenger plane appeared from the sky, dragging a long cloud at its tail, and crashed straight into the Twin Towers.

Those who witnessed all this couldn't help but cover their mouths in surprise and exclaimed -

"Oh my god!!!"

…

In the previous life:

If you ask about the darkest day in modern American history, I believe that many people will answer -

September 11, 2001.

911 was originally the emergency number of the United States, which was created in the 1960s.

The entire number is known to everyone in the United States.

No matter what kind of trouble the American people encounter, as long as they dial this number, they can get assistance from the US police.

But since September 11, 2001, this number has almost become synonymous with terror.

Because on the morning of this day, the 911 terrorist incident that shocked the world occurred.

And this time, it was December 11.

A day that seems to have little symbolic meaning, ordinary and ordinary.

This day is Tuesday, and it is very coincidental that September 11 in the previous life was also Tuesday.

The sky above the US capital is still clear, while the sky above the largest international metropolis New York is shrouded in dark clouds.

Everything foreshadows an ominous beginning.

The second day of the US stock market opening this week.

A plane took off from Boston Logan International Airport at 7:59 in the morning and flew to Los Angeles.

The name of the flight is [US Airlines Flight 11].

At 8:14, the aircraft climbed to 26,000 feet (about 8,000 meters), lower than the initially designated cruising altitude of 29,000 feet (about 8,800 meters).

At the same time, the plane had its last routine communication with the air tower, confirming that it had received the navigation instructions.

16 seconds after the communication, the air tower ordered the plane to climb to 35,000 feet (about 10,700 meters), but this information and all subsequent attempts to contact the plane were not confirmed.

The passengers on the plane did not realize what would happen in the next two hours:

Then a group of gangsters stood up, holding weapons in their hands, and quickly took control of the first-class cabin of the plane, and began to release tear gas, spicy fog and other irritating gases, forcing passengers and flight attendants to move closer to the back of the plane, claiming that they had a bomb.

Five minutes later, the flight attendant Petty contacted the Southeast Ticketing Office of American Airlines through the in-flight phone and reported the emergency on the plane. The call lasted about 25 minutes.

After receiving the call for help, an employee of American Airlines immediately called the police at the American Airlines Operations Center.

The hijacker tried to talk to the passengers, but mistakenly switched the call channel to the tower.

The operations center that received the alarm notified the American Airlines dispatcher and reported the abnormal situation of the aircraft to the tower.

Afterwards, flight attendants Petty and Amy Sweeney repeatedly reported the situation on board to the tower and the American Airlines Flight Service Office: the hijackers stabbed two flight attendants, could not contact the cockpit, and there was a bomb in the cockpit.

At 8:26 and 8:38, Petty said that the plane was "flying irregularly" and interrupted the call at 8:44.

At the same time, Amy Sweeney was reporting to the American Airlines Flight Service Office that the plane was "rapidly descending" and "flying very low."

At 8:46:40, American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the Twin Towers Building 1 (also known as the "North Tower") at a speed of about 490 miles per hour. The impact location was between the 94th and 98th floors in the north of the building, causing the immediate death of all people on board and an unknown number of people in the building.

The building immediately caught fire, and the entire 94th floor and above was filled with thick smoke, which could be seen 1 kilometer away.

Countless people screamed in fear.

At 9:03:11, United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into Twin Towers Building 2 (also known as the "South Tower"), killing all on board and an unknown number of people in the tower immediately.

The building exploded violently, like a cannonball, and emitted huge smoke.

The building was penetrated by the plane, and then a violent explosion occurred.

9:59.

The entire building was cut in half and began to collapse.

Countless citizens screamed in panic and began to evacuate, and the streets were in chaos.

Under the gaze of everyone, under the media cameras that rushed to the scene in the United States at the first time, the South Tower of these two famous financial and trade buildings in the United States made a loud rumbling sound.

It was reduced to ashes.

9:37:46, United Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon Building of the United States Department of Defense at a speed of up to 530 miles per hour, killing all on board and a large number of officers in the building.

At 10:28, the North Tower collapsed, and no one survived from the floors above the impact point.

The two iconic buildings that originally stood there suddenly turned into two large chimneys with thick smoke.

…

"Oh my god!"

Countless people covered their mouths.

Many people burst into tears on the spot.

On the streets, there were countless people running and shouting.

No one would have thought that such a terrible thing would happen in this world-famous prosperous city.

The collapse of the Twin Towers was like the highest flag in people's minds, collapsing with a bang.

If there is hell in the world, then hell is probably like this.

…

Bordeaux is an unknown employee of a financial company in the Twin Towers.

Speaking of which, this day is his disaster day, but also his lucky day.

He was sent out by the company because he received a call from a customer in the morning.

When he left the Twin Towers and was about to take a taxi to his destination, a plane roared over his head.

The plane's flight altitude was obviously wrong, it was too low, so low that it directly penetrated the low clouds over New York.

A long white line was dragged under the clouds.

Then, Bordeaux's whole body was shocked-

The plane hit the North Tower directly.

The entire upper floor exploded.

Bordeaux only felt a shaking under his feet and heard a huge sound in his ears.

When he came to his senses, he found that everyone around him looked up at the sky.

The Twin Towers had not collapsed at this time, but he was vaguely aware of the danger.

The 94th floor.

It happened to be the floor where Bordeaux's company was located.

In other words, he witnessed the death of his colleagues and friends with his own eyes.

Bordeaux's heart was shaken strongly.

A bold idea came out of his brain.

He didn't even have time to grieve, and didn't do anything else. Instead, he called the stock manager with his beast-like intuition in numbness and told him to short, short, and frantically short the aerospace and tourism industries, and then leverage to continue to super double.

"It's over. The US stock market is going to crash!"

"This is a bombshell."

"Short it quickly! Short it! With leverage, do as much as you can!"

"Yes, short all airlines, as many as you can!"

...

At 9:38 PM Tokyo time, Masayoshi Son, who was preparing to rest at home, was awakened by a ringing phone.

I picked up the phone and took a look. It turned out that it was a call from a colleague in the United States.

"What's wrong, Uesugi-kun?!"

I picked up the phone and heard Uesugi's voice, "Masayoshi Son, have you seen the news?! This morning, a US flight had an accident. Two planes hit the Twin Towers and one plane hit the Pentagon Building."

"What?!"

Masayoshi Son's fingers trembled in fear and the phone fell to the ground.

...

Qing Zhiyuan was also slightly stunned when he heard the secretary's words.

It's not that he was shocked by the news, but he had a strong sense of fate.

The timeline was closed, and some things seemed to be inevitable in history.

It just changed from 911 to 1211.

This kind of thing would be criticized by readers if written in a novel, but it really happened in real life.

Not to mention that readers didn't believe it, even the US intelligence agencies deliberately chose not to believe it when they learned the relevant news, so they didn't issue a warning in advance.

So it eventually led to a disaster.

Sure enough, writing a book requires rigorous logic, but reality doesn't need it.

Of course, if you look into it carefully, it seems that there is a deep logic in it.

Any link in this, from the crew to the tower, to the intelligence agency, to the senior staff... As long as one person believes and issues a warning, the result will not be like this.

In fact, the butterfly effect still occurs,

but Qing Zhiyuan's personal influence on the field of technology and Internet games is not enough to subvert the national level, especially the calculation based on people.

…

"It's time to buy US stocks." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Huh?!"

Everyone was shocked and thought, are you crazy, President?

This is obviously going to fall sharply!
