I Became the Savior on the Fourth Day of Disaster - Chapter 85:Viewing Room 15 (Thanks to Xiang Chaosheng's Bonus Chapter) ...

Chapter 85:Viewing Room 15 (Thanks to Xiang Chaosheng’s Bonus Chapter) …

The viewing room fell so silent you could hear a pin drop.

Fukuchi Ochi, who had always maintained a cheerful demeanor no matter what happened before, finally had his expression completely freeze over.

Yet no one in the viewing room thought Fukuchi Ochi’s reaction was excessive.

Yosano took a deep breath: Right, although Yunxi-kun seemed measured in his actions before, ultimately, Yunxi-kun has always viewed himself as a ‘player’.

Players wouldn’t allow NPCs to offend them, even if the NPCs were just carrying out their duties.

When you thought about it, they should be grateful Yunxi didn’t immediately try to indiscriminately slaughter them all. Realizing only now that Yunxi would resort to such heavy-handed methods was really making a mountain out of a molehill.

Nakajima Atsushi spoke up weakly, unsure if he was comforting others or himself: It’s okay, Yunxi-kun will be sent to Meursault next.

So everyone in Yokohama doesn’t need to worry for now…

How romantic, Shakespeare suddenly sighed.

This attracted puzzled looks from almost everyone in the viewing room. Shakespeare blinked and voluntarily explained: Just now, Gogol-kun teleported Yunxi-kun away from where he might have been attacked by the Hound captain, then patted Yunxi-kun’s head and told him not to go over.

How romantic, Shakespeare repeated again.

Everyone in the viewing room: …

Where exactly is the romance in that? Is the romance in Gogol not having the heart to stab a knife into Yunxi’s head?!

[Fortunately, there were no other incidents after that. Yunxi and Gogol were successfully taken away by Meursault personnel.]

Kunikida finally snapped out of it, muttering quietly: What does he mean by ‘if he gets caught, all the bad things he’s done in his life will be wiped clean’…

Getting caught isn’t enough! Yunxi needs to serve at least 200 years in prison!

Everyone in the viewing room: ???

Kunikida immediately wanted to refute this, but the screen abruptly switched to show Meursault at that moment.

Kunikida calmed down.

In Yokohama, this Clown could use the Port Mafia as an excuse, but if Yunxi could cause trouble in Meursault too, he’d like to see what excuses they could come up with then!

[Yunxi had just arrived at Meursault when he became displeased about having to remove his clothes for a body check.]

Kunikida: !

Here it comes!

[These people, threatened by Yunxi, simply gave up on the strip search procedure and even let Yunxi change into his prison uniform by himself.]

Kunikida: ?

He couldn’t help but share the same confusion as Yunxi.

Wait, who paid for Yunxi’s game?

Edogawa Ranpo spoke up promptly: It’s China secretly intervening, right?

After all, during the Verlaine incident, they said they owed Yunxi a favor.

Kunikida also realized: Then Yunxi-kun probably won’t be imprisoned in Meursault for long either. China will definitely find a way to get him on the parole list…

Oh no! Yunxi might really not end up making enemies with Meursault after all!

[He did.

Because Meursault personnel searched the Clown.]

Kunikida: …?

The Clown is indeed quite conservative when it comes to clothing, but just undergoing a body search isn’t that big of a deal!

Ozaki Kouyou glanced at the Clown, lowered her head, and murmured quietly to herself: Ahem, perhaps it’s because Yunxi-kun wanted to watch first.

Nakahara Chuuya: .

How disgusting. He was starting to understand why that mackerel always wore such a nauseated expression!

[If possible, Yunxi would go out for revenge right now, but his strength isn’t quite sufficient, so he chooses to lay low for the time being.

But upon hearing that Fyodor had once again ordered Gogol to do such things, Yunxi grew furious again.

Their European open 3p family dynamic shouldn’t include someone who stays beautifully invisible most of the time, only to pop up at critical moments giving orders like in East Asian toxic families!]

Sigma: Cough! Cough! Cough!

Finally recovering, Sigma instinctively glanced toward Fyodor, only to shiver and immediately avert his gaze when their eyes met.

Someone like Fyodor would be utterly bizarre in any family setting!

Sigma: ???

Did he just say that out loud?

No, no—the real issue is that he doesn’t want to join Gogol’s family either!

Sigma nearly broke down and screamed on the spot. Fortunately, at that moment, Yunxi on the big screen showed Sigma the way forward.

Sigma almost immediately mimicked the Yunxi on screen: Gogol-kun, which has fewer strokes: ‘I am Yunxi’s little bird’ or ‘I am demons and monsters’?

Gogol fell silent.

Everyone in the Viewing Room: .

So this is the legendary immortal pointing the way? They’d never understood it so clearly before!

[Though Yunxi knew Gogol probably wouldn’t answer, he still felt angry when Gogol actually remained silent.

But Yunxi couldn’t bring himself to lay a hand on Gogol.]

Sakaguchi Ango was utterly shocked: So… Yunxi-kun decided to take it out on Meursault’s staff, conducting long-range intimidation against Clown-kun?

He almost felt sorry for the Meursault employees in that world! When you’re determined to condemn someone, any excuse will serve!

Nakahara Chuuya: Yunxi’s method of pretending to be mentally ill is too clumsy…

He could indeed tell Yunxi was mentally unstable, but all he could see was Yunxi’s violent tendencies!

Though, now that he thought about it.

Shouldn’t prisoners with mental illness be eligible for special treatment? Chuuya wondered. Why hasn’t Meursault taken separate measures for Yunxi?

[The reasons were simple.

First, Yunxi was uneducated, underage, stateless, and mentally ill. With all these buffs stacked, they couldn’t easily take action against him.]

Everyone in the Viewing Room: …

They wanted to say it was absurd, but that’s how things seemed to work… though Yunxi’s actions were truly excessive!

[Second, they couldn’t defeat Yunxi.]

Everyone in the Viewing Room: .

Well, that explains it.

Chuuya’s expression remained blank: So that’s the reason.

He should have known—they were all just bullies who preyed on the weak!

[Since force wasn’t working, these people began trying other methods to distract Yunxi.]

Fitzgerald was puzzled: If Yunxi-kun behaves or contributes, he could get his sentence reduced… but there’s no way to reduce 200 years no matter what, right?

Weren’t they just treating Yunxi like a fool?

Gogol: Pfft, what if little Yunxi discovers the secret of US dollars?

Fitzgerald sneered: Even if it’s the secret of US dollars—

The secret of US dollars!

That must never be discovered!

His wealth, his Special ability—they all depended on US dollars!!!

[Unfortunately, no matter how distraught others became, Yunxi’s US dollars successfully passed through a currency detector.]

I’m willing to hand over the technology. Can you consider reducing my sentence…?

Fitzgerald remained tense throughout, only relaxing slightly when Meursault staff firmly rejected Yunxi’s request.

Meanwhile, Gogol’s feelings were completely different.

He sincerely marveled: Little Yunxi might truly be a genius!

Hugo also expressed admiration, though his focus differed slightly: The teacher who taught Yunxi those online crime courses must be incredibly skilled too!

Just look! What has Yunxi managed to create using techniques learned from online courses!

Everyone from the Supernatural Affairs Division and [The Guild]: …

They’d track down this online instructor immediately after returning and deal with them! All those online courses would be eliminated too!

It was Ozaki Kouyou who redirected everyone’s attention: These Meursault employees all seem reluctant to interact with Yunxi-kun now, but we can’t just leave him completely unsupervised. So, next…

How will the story develop?

On the large screen, the situation suddenly began careening in a direction no one had anticipated.

[The Chinese woman seized this opportunity to take over all positions requiring contact with Yunxi.

Then, Yunxi received almost triple the portion size Gogol got for lunch.]

Kunikida: I thought she was going to do something significant, but she just gave Yunxi more food?

Yosano said expressionlessly: While also performing ‘your fellow countryman thinks you’re starving’ and ‘we pulled some strings’.

Fitzgerald choked briefly before speaking: I’m starting to believe Chinese people are indeed straightforward.

Upon close contact with Yunxi, the first thing she noticed was his prominently bony wrists?

And this is Meursault we’re talking about – since when do parents pay bribes just to ensure their child eats well? Save that drama for home! Just go home already!

[Yunxi didn’t overthink it – he was genuinely hungry.

He ate a lot, and after feeling full, forced himself to eat a bit more to avoid wasting food. This left him not only stuffed but also experiencing carb fatigue, too lethargic even to fight.]

Ookura Teruko said helplessly: And they suspected this was some scheme…

If this Chinese woman really had malicious intentions, she should have kept Yunxi hungry until he lacked energy to fight!

[That evening, the woman returned with dishes she’d forcibly taken from other prisoners.]

Gogol’s expression instantly shifted from delight to bewilderment: Huh? The clown’s fried buns…?

Kunikida was similarly confused, though about a different aspect: Is transferring food between prisoners allowed in Meursault?

Shakespeare answered seriously: Theoretically no, but if her fists are big enough, there’s not much anyone can do.

Kunikida: .

To possess strength sufficient to overpower all other Meursault food delivery staff single-handedly, yet choose to stay here delivering extra food to Yunxi?!

This makes even less sense!

[Yunxi didn’t understand either, but he was enjoying it :D.

These social parasites don’t deserve to eat well anyway!

Except for Gogol whom Yunxi likes – no one else should get to eat!]

Sakaguchi Ango: Does he himself contribute anything positive to society? Discovering the secret of US dollar counterfeiting doesn’t count!

Nakahara Chuuya muttered under his breath: Gogol-kun shouldn’t get to eat either!

Gogol: ?

Gogol really wanted to ask when he had offended this [Gravity User], but just as he turned his head, the large screen directly switched to the scene of Yunxi taking a bath.

Gogol immediately turned back.

Watching the man taking Yunxi to bathe on the large screen, Gogol’s expression gradually turned strange.

The Clown seems to understand why little Yunxi got angry, Gogol whispered.

Fyodor glanced at Gogol again.

Fortunately, the man kept his eyes strictly forward the entire time, and the camera never panned over to Yunxi.

Halfway through the bath, the man suddenly spoke: In a few days, you’ll be able to leave.

Everyone in the Viewing Room: !!!

Kunikida: Why? Is it because of China again? Did Meursault agree?

Edogawa Ranpo murmured: It seems so.

Yosano: Tch, isn’t his stay at Meursault way too easy?

In reality, faced with such unexpected good news, Yunxi only felt uneasy.

Kunikida was so furious he almost snapped another pen: He actually feels uneasy…?

Shouldn’t it be someone else who should feel uneasy instead!

Gogol noticed Yunxi’s unease, so he teased Yunxi for a while. Once Yunxi’s mood improved, Gogol immediately fell asleep.

Seeing that Yunxi could still be comforted by Gogol made Kunikida even angrier.

The pen was completely destroyed. Staring at the unusually well-behaved sleeping Yunxi on the large screen, Kunikida gritted his teeth:

Enough already… Hasn’t Yunxi-kun offended any powerful enemies who could report him before he gets out?

There indeed was one – an organization so powerful it possessed several Transcendents, the [Clock Tower Attendant]. But the [Clock Tower Attendant] was actually looking forward to Yunxi’s release.

This way, they would have the chance to take private revenge on Yunxi and retrieve the lost [Great Order].

Ozaki Kouyou was shocked: When did the [Clock Tower Attendant] discover the [Great Order] wasn’t on Mr. Verlaine?!

Mori Ōgai murmured: It must have been recently. There’s a Transcendent within the [Clock Tower Attendant] capable of gathering information. They found some clues about the [Great Order] and traced it directly to Yunxi-kun.

Sigma wanted to say that probably wasn’t the case.

After all, China had also received the news, and they obviously wouldn’t try to take Yunxi away at this time.

But Yunxi planned to escape on his own, and Gogol agreed.

Sigma: ???

Sigma: !!!

Did the Gogol from the other world die at this very moment?!

Wait, why wasn’t the Gogol beside him nervous at all…?

Edogawa Ranpo’s voice suddenly rang out: Of course it’s because there was an interview with Gogol-kun at the beginning! Sigma-kun!

Sigma: !

Oh right… wait.

Sigma was nearly scared to the point of fainting, while Gogol couldn’t help but laugh again.

On the other side, Agatha’s expression wasn’t looking good.

The Transcendents of the [Clock Tower Attendant] couldn’t possibly be unable to handle two non-Transcendents.

So what kind of accident happened afterward?

No accidents occurred for the time being. Everything in Meursault remained normal.

In the rest area, a group of employees were chatting.

Kunikida nodded frantically.

Exactly! Someone like Yunxi, who keeps his place tidy but could bring chaos wherever he goes, should be locked up in Meursault forever!

But the female employee’s response was: How could that be? Yunxi is perfectly fine. He only hit someone because he was starving from the portion size assigned to him as if he were Japanese. Who told Meursault to treat Yunxi like a Japanese person?

Kunikida: ???

There were too many problematic points in that statement, but it didn’t matter—the critic Kunikida would address them one by one:

Why would Yunxi-kun get angry just for being treated like a Japanese person?!

He, as an actual Japanese person, was the one about to get genuinely angry now!

The male employee added: I walk with Yunxi every day, and he hasn’t killed me even once. He’s already reformed.

Kunikida: That’s not what ‘reformed’ means! That’s called applying Satan’s standards to Yunxi-kun!

Gogol had been laughing throughout, but at this part he burst into full-blown laughter: Hahaha, exactly! Why can’t we use Satan’s standards for Yunxi?

Freedom! This was true freedom!

Someone tried to be more diplomatic, but the female employee started shaking her head wildly again, lamenting how pitiable it was for the flowers of the motherland to go hungry, while also urging other employees to help her cancel Warden Meursault’s account.

Because she suspected the warden was embezzling.

Gogol: Hahaha! A warden who drops gold bars with every two steps he takes!

The male employee claimed he didn’t intentionally waste so many bath products every time—it was just that Yunxi had war PTSD.

Gogol: Correct! Little Yunxi isn’t trying to hoard bath supplies for after his release—he just has war PTSD!

The Viewing Room crowd: …

This was enough. With Gogol being so enthusiastically supportive, they were starting to suspect they, like those employees from other countries on the screen, had become the dark clouds in the sky, bears in the mountains, sun shining on pine needles, and the cliff where orchids grow in the two Chinese people’s descriptions!

Yosano muttered: Isn’t Yunxi-kun supposed to be escaping? So when is he planning to break out?

Just then, the voice of a patrolling guard came from outside: Prisoner 1478! Yunxi!

Kunikida was still grumbling about the female employee’s words: What does she mean ‘Yunxi is so energetic now that he’s eaten’? Yunxi was plenty energetic before too.

But Yosano’s body had already instinctively leaned forward: Has Yunxi-kun already escaped?!

Kunikida: ?

Kunikida, suddenly realizing something: !!!

The two Chinese people instantly became serious.

Yunxi absolutely couldn’t leave now!

In this tense moment, Gogol suddenly spoke up: So, who was the one who answered roll call for little Yunxi just now?

Kunikida frantically replied: That’s not the point!

Gogol: But in the Clown’s view, this is the point…

The person who answered for Yunxi was an audio file Yunxi had imported from outside the game. He’d even specially created an automatic recognition program to notify him when inspectors came while he was outside searching for devices.

Gogol fell silent, but he looked thoroughly satisfied.

The Viewing Room crowd: …?

Was getting jealous over Yunxi really something a free clown should be doing?

Anyway, now that he knew he’d been exposed, Yunxi decided not to hesitate any longer. With one violent swing of his crowbar—

The next second, Gogol teleported out from the briefly malfunctioning device and appeared beside Yunxi.

Let’s go, little Yunxi!

Nakajima Atsushi hesitated: Am I seeing this right? The first thing Yunxi-kun did after coming out was… to put back the earring Clown-san gave him?

Yosano replied coldly: You’re not mistaken, and there’s nothing to be surprised about.

Because Yunxi was just that kind of love-struck fool!

The atmosphere in the Viewing Room became strangely peculiar for a moment. Five minutes passed like this.

Yunxi was still fighting.

Another fifteen minutes passed.

Yunxi was still fighting.

The people in the Viewing Room finally realized something was wrong.

Why was Yunxi fighting nonstop?

Because Yunxi felt these people had all thrown punches at him before, so he had to return the favor.

Sakaguchi Ango exclaimed: Those people were just breathing!

But after being beaten repeatedly, the Meursault employees simply started confessing.

They confessed everything from breaking up Liang Shanbo and Juliet to causing Louis XVI to be crushed under Five Finger Mountain… but Yunxi kept fighting.

Sakaguchi Ango cried out: I can’t understand a single word! What are these people even saying?!

They must have gotten beaten into having concussions!

Finally, Yunxi gave up on using his fists to teach the Meursault employees a lesson.

But then Yunxi started renaming all the Meursault employees.

Nakajima Atsushi read aloud: She Lost Both God and Coupons, Who Stole My Assembled Meal, You Eat It Mom Isn’t Hungry, Withdraw Certificate and Rewrite School Paper…

This was terrifying! Although he hadn’t experienced it himself, just from the small explanations provided by the AI at hand, he could feel the suffering within!

Gogol was also reading them aloud.

But just as Nakajima Atsushi was about to read a particular one, Edogawa Ranpo suddenly slapped him.

Startled, Nakajima Atsushi forgot what he had just seen: Ranpo-san?

Edogawa Ranpo acted as if nothing happened: It’s nothing, keep watching.

Nakajima Atsushi: Oh, okay…

Meanwhile, Gogol – who, like his screen counterpart, had reacted a step too late: …

Little Yunxi could be really evil sometimes.

Outside Meursault.

Just as Sakaguchi Ango was about to say this scene was finally over, an unexpected event suddenly occurred on the large screen.

Boom!

Sakaguchi Ango immediately realized something: Fireballs, pyrokinesis Special Ability… It’s the [Clock Tower Attendant]?!

Nakahara Chuuya also remembered the previously mentioned [Clock Tower Attendant] would target Yunxi. His fingers unconsciously tightened: The opponent… is a Transcendent?

Verlaine answered his fellow being: Yes, the pyrokinesis Transcendent of the [Clock Tower Attendant], the black glove who handles all dirty work for them. It’s quite obvious, isn’t it?

Nakahara Chuuya: Then can Yunxi really… successfully escape?!

Nakahara Chuuya’s words caught in his throat.

Because the scene on screen was too ridiculous.

Yunxi would occasionally pop his head out, his lines gradually shifting from Who’s attacking me? and Did I provoke you? to the desperate New account, please don’t target me.

But the fireballs would always arrive right on time.

Nakahara Chuuya couldn’t hold back: Is this Transcendent treating Yunxi like the mole in whack-a-mole?

Although it really looked like it, wasn’t it too cruel to play with a living person like this?!

Verlaine remained silent, and Clown was unusually serious as he stared at the large screen.

Fyodor tilted his head and kindly reminded: Nakahara-kun, this is a Transcendent.

While slightly weaker than Verlaine was before, they’re much, much stronger than Yunxi.

Therefore, if the other party wished, they could either toy with them like a cat playing with a mouse, or go even further and engage in outright slaughter.

Nakahara Chuuya wanted to refute this, but the large screen showed Gogol continuously using his special ability, clearly demonstrating that he had no intention of letting Yunxi successfully counter the attacks.

Nakahara Chuuya fell silent.

Instead, it was Ozaki Kouyou who couldn’t hold back: It seems Verlaine from that world was truly holding back significantly back then.

If this Transcendent—whose combat power doesn’t even match Verlaine’s—could push Yunxi to such an extent, Verlaine must have been barely trying before!

Actually, the pyrokinetic Esper wasn’t using his full strength either.

My only purpose here is to retrieve the [Great Order] from you, he declared while attacking. You can hand it over now, or continue denying it. But whether I kill you until you’re willing to surrender it, or you destroy the [Great Order] yourself—my mission will be considered complete either way.

Kunikida had been watching the large screen the entire time without blinking. Hearing these words, he subconsciously murmured: But I think even if Yunxi-kun were to hand over the [Great Order], he still wouldn’t let Yunxi-kun and Clown leave.

Edogawa Ranpo: Mhm, indeed.

Kunikida: !

Kunikida immediately turned his head, but Edogawa Ranpo said: It’s fine, just keep watching.

Yunxi’s Special ability hasn’t appeared yet.
