"Later, the Security Team discovered that Marcel, the culprit behind the serial disappearance of young girls, seemed to have had his soul taken away."
"However, the doctor ultimately determined he died of extreme fright."
Watching the subtitles appear before her, Nonomi couldn't help but hug the Slime plushie in her arms, a look of emotion on her face.
"Ugh… what is this? A satisfying revenge?"
Nonomi nodded lightly, seemingly affirming her own statement, then turned her gaze to the notepad beside her.
After briefly sorting out the logic, Nonomi sighed slightly and continued:
"Actually, no matter what… Marcel would ultimately die at the hands of these innocent girls."
"From the cutscene where he met Yuto, the direction he walked out was another passage of the Opera House, which means he would pass by Lucine Fountain no matter what."
"And he just drank so much primordial sea water during the Judgment process, he would definitely be attracted by those sounds."
"Plus, he's been obsessed for over twenty years, so he would definitely be drawn in by Vignier's voice and ultimately repeat the process from just now."
At this point, Nonomi slowly closed her eyes, exhaled, and then spoke:
"Death is the ending he deserves, but doing this… isn't it too easy for him?"
"While I don't know what happened after his soul was taken, from the outcome, he should have lived with regret his entire life, and then had his soul reaped before death."
"He killed so many people for his own selfish desires, without even considering whether Vignier wanted him to do so…"
"If he hadn't trafficked lesse, but instead focused on his duties as an adventurer, traveling all of Teyvat on Vignier's behalf…"
"His life should have been a moving love story, but unfortunately… he took the wrong path."
Nonomi spoke a long string of words as if lamenting, then slightly adapted what she had just said and wrote it into the content list beside her.
However, when she looked up at the bullet comments again… she found that everything had changed.
The bullet comments used to repeatedly caution her not to act crazy, but now…
They really were acting crazy.
"Thinking about it… Yuto truly trusts Navia enough. If he lost this time, he might even lose his position as Assistant Administrator."
"Yes, but his speech during the argumentation phase was truly brilliant. He didn't even use a shred of power, so upright that it makes people want to personally 'corrupt' him~"
"You dare say he didn't use power? Where did those two lists come from?"
"Above, Yuto is the compiler of fontaine law. He himself is the highest-ranking 'Licensed Agent' in Fontaine. It is the right of every Licensed Agent to request evidence from the Marechaussee Phantom and the Law Enforcement Office!"
"Yes… I certainly didn't hear any rubbish like 'I am the Assistant Administrator, so everything I say is true, even without evidence, it's true.'"
"Don't they always say 'studying law until you lose your humanity'? Look at Yuto, he clearly distinguishes between love and hate. All his actions are based on the law and his own moral principles."
"A very three-dimensional character, clear in his public and private life, infinitely gentle with his friends and relatives, and not a shred of mercy for his enemies."
"Ahhh, I want a boss like this, can I get a dozen?!"
"Can you look at me with the same eyes you look at Vasher, that trashy look, quickly!"
...
Although the vast majority of people were normally discussing Yuto's characterization, a small portion of them began to go crazy over Yuto.
However, for Nonomi, the current live stream environment was what she liked to see most.
"Everyone is discussing the plot, engaging in clashes of opinion, ah~ it's really so comf—"
However, before she could fully pronounce the word "comfortable," a new wave of discussion erupted in the bullet comments.
"Woo! On the bookshelf to the left when you enter Palais Mermonia, there's a copy of 'Fontaine labor law,' compiled by Yuto! He legislated long ago to prohibit excessive overtime, limiting overtime hours to no more than 100 hours per month!"
"Holy cow, really? Is this what two-dimensional reality is like? So fantastical?"
"…They all say it's an eight-hour workday, but Fontaine not only has an eight-hour workday, it gives enough space for those who want to earn more money, and also gives businesses room to survive. In comparison…"
"Yes, we all say it's an eight-hour workday, but what's the reality? 996, 997, and even 007 work styles are the norm. Instead, the eight-hour workday is a rare species…"
"Can someone hit me with an interdimensional travel device, a big truck would also work. I don't want any system or cheat, I just want to go to Fontaine!"
"One day I asked God to let me reincarnate in Fontaine, and God slapped me and said: if He could go, He would have gone too."
Nonomi blinked slightly, looking at the constantly scrolling bullet comments, and slowly let out a breath.
For Nonomi, as long as the live stream didn't involve politics, pornography, or religious beliefs, then her live stream was safe.
However, in this world, many things are very easy to lose control of, especially when the overall environment is completely beyond one's control.
As the players discovered Yuto's law protecting workers, his name appeared on hot searches on both Bilibili and Weibo—
—even if you don't play this game, you can feel the value of the five words "protecting workers."
"I declare that from now on, my cyber religion belongs to the Chang Sect, with Yuto as its deity. My Lord equally protects every worker. Join my Chang Sect, and gain a beautiful life!"
"Every worker should be able to understand the foresight and superiority of this law. Not joining the Chang Sect is an affront to the heavenly principles!"
"Let those capitalists and oppressors go to hell!"
"The enforcer who clearly distinguishes between love and hate deserves everyone's respect! This isn't just an Assistant Administrator? This is God!"
As sermon-like bullet comments gradually filled Nonomi's live stream, at this moment, as a freelancer, she finally understood why Yuto was so "out of the loop."
In an era where only a very few people can get reasonable and legal overtime pay, in an era where bosses only draw big pictures but don't implement them… Yuto's value truly reached its peak.
Although he is just a two-dimensional character, just a paper person, this does not prevent people from expressing their yearning and expectation for a better life.
"But can you guys please not spread your doctrines in my live stream! It will be misunderstood by the super admin…!"
Before Nonomi could finish speaking, her live stream screen instantly went black, and then… a line of small text appeared before all the viewers' eyes.
[This user has been banned. Reason: Spreading religious content]
...
At this moment, a settlement-like light screen suddenly appeared before Yuto, who was taking the underwater elevator directly to Meropide.
[Achievement unlocked: Cyber God]
[Your actions have won them over. They voluntarily elected you as a Cyber God, commonly known as: the Greek God of law]
[Reward: Popularity Points x20000]
Yuto looked at the suddenly appearing light screen with some doubt, and nodded gently.
"After this mission settlement… will I have enough Popularity Points to buy more things?"
Yuto thought to himself.
Thus, Yuto gained Popularity Points, and the players in the real world gained rare spiritual solace, but…
A world where only Nonomi was hurt was born amidst everyone's laughter.
