Three hours later, the news was only about black robes, the headless man, fire, and explosions.
Seeing his burnt server room, Giggle felt he was about to explode. What kind of rogue fighting was that? How did one use the revival superpower in such an unscrupulous and disgusting way?
Giggle changed his server room’s location without involving many people. It was done in secret and only a few of his confidantes knew about it.
Three hours later, an explosion occurred.
Giggle shifted his server room discreetly to a US military ocean base. There was no one in the base, only Giggle and Tom were guarding it.
Three hours later, the ocean base exploded and sank to the bottom of the sea.
No matter how many times Giggle shifted and hid Closers World’s servers, Zhao Yao would always locate them and suicide bomb them.
Seeing his servers burning in an inferno, Giggle opened his cell phone glumly and asked, “What information do we have about him?”
Maria replied, “According to our intelligence in China, the real identity of the Headless Horseman is Zhao Yao. When I looked for him last time…” Maria hesitated before continuing, “I didn’t kill him. I was tricked by his superpower.”
Giggle asked gravely, “Where is he?”
“I sent people to search in Jianghai for his house and territory but in vain.”
Giggle squinted his eyes and said, “Continue searching for him, his kin, his friends and everyone related to him. I want to capture them.”
…
Pom!
Xiao Yu’s house door was pried open, a group of warriors armed with guns charged in and started searching.
The house was empty. Even the furniture had been removed. Not a strand of hair was left behind.
…
Zhao Yao listen to Doll’s news via his ear microphones. “Zhao Yao, they’ve started searching in Jianghai. Fortunately, you’ve removed all your family and friends, otherwise they’d be in trouble.”
“They figured out my identity. Without seeing my face, did they recognize it was me via their awareness?”
“They’re unable to possess my body over long distances. This proves that the limitations might be more than identity…” Zhao Yao nodded and continued asking, “Where are they putting their servers?”
Doll asked the cat artificial intelligence next to him. The cat artificial intelligence relayed the information collated from the internet to Doll.
Though Closers World was located in the Awareness Dimension, it required internet for connectivity. Doll was able to bypass various security to locate the servers’ location.
Three hours later, when the cooling down period of the Time Distortion expired, Zhao Yao appeared in the live stream.
This time, Zhao Yao revealed his face and wore a black robe in the live stream. It attracted massive attention from around the world.
Supernatural organizations were alarmed. They used facial recognition to identify him—a person who was already dead.
“Is he Zhao Yao?”
“We suspected he was the Headless Horseman. It’s actually him.”
Most people were not sure the series of headless suicide bombers were Zhao Yao in disguise.
Three hours later when Zhao Yao appeared and did a suicide bombing, everyone was astonished.
“He can’t be killed?”
“He’s the one who carried out the suicide bombing from the start?”
“He has the revival superpower?”
The supernatural organizations around the world were excited. With this superpower, even if he could not kill Giggle, he would be able to face off with Giggle.
Everyone was yearning for the power of Revival and the secret to avoid control by Giggle.
“Contact him quickly!”
“Tell him, the British support him unconditionally!”
“Think of a way to contact him. As long as he agrees to join the French Kensei unit, we’ll give him the best remuneration.”
With Zhao Yao’s fame, all major websites and social media platforms were filled with his photographs and information. Zhao Yao became an international celebrity.
The commoners who did not know the truth hated him as he did suicide bombings to disrupt Apple’s internet gaming servers.
The gamers from Closers World hated him the most. Zhao Yao’s photographs were made into various emoticons and used in the Closers World.
Zhao Yao was optimistic. He was nonchalant whether people liked him or not. As long as they were paying attention to him, especially Closers World gamers, Zhao Yao would be glad.
Giggle was unable to endure Zhao Yao’s continuous suicide bombings. He started a video channel at a few famous websites.
In the video channel, an orange cat (Giggle’s newly possessed body) squatted in front of the camera, lifted up his paw and started meowing.
Below the cat’s head, the translated words were shown.
“Foolish humans, I’m enraged by you.”
Comments appeared rapidly below the video.
“This cat’s adorable!”
“Show us your paw meat padding!”
“I’ll give you ten points if you cuddle, zero if you don’t.”
Giggle meowed as the words were typed out, “Zhao Yao, I’m giving you 12 hours to appear before me, otherwise…”
Giggle flicked out his claws and signaled he was going to kill Zhao Yao. The camera shifted and revealed thousands of celebrities tied to golden-backed chairs behind Giggle. Their eyes were blank and calm. They had been controlled by Giggle and their awareness distorted.
Giggle continued speaking, “They are your past classmates, colleagues, teachers, superiors, neighbours. If you don’t appear in front of me within 12 hours, I’ll kill one of them hourly until you appear.”
Giggle sneered. “Zhao Yao… if he dared to appear in front of me for more than a second, I’ll control him. Then…”
Tom asked, “What if he doesn’t appear?”
“I’ll castrate the city,” Giggle said coldly. “If he doesn’t appear after I’ve killed all the people, I’ll use castration to threaten him. If he doesn’t want humans to be extinct, he’ll accede to my threat.”
The enraged Giggle said mercilessly, “We are the stronger party. He thought he could depend on his fancy superpowers but for how long? No, he has… he has enraged me this time.”
