The Return of the God Level Assassin

1065  ESCALATING RUMOR

THE picture attached to the post was of two young men, walking closely together, and seemed to be talking to each other. But since it was taken at night, and there were barely any lights around, it was hard to clearly see the faces of the two. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

That's why the comments under the post were most mocking the original poster.

[How can you say that they look like YUN and Noctis when I can barely see their face?]

[Right? Is the original poster just grasping straws? Are you trying to make some sort of controversy from this?]

- [What controversy? Even if the ones in the picture are really YUN and Noctis, so what? It's not like they were doing something weird. They're just standing there, talking.]

- [Right? And besides, they're from the same team. What's wrong if they were seen together?]

- [I think the poster just wanted to get clarification that those two were, in fact, YUN and Noctis.]

[To those doubting the original poster, here's the brightened version of the picture. Don't you think that they really look like YUN and Noctis?]

Attached to that reply was the brightened and high-definition version of the original picture. This time, the features of the two young men became clearer.

The taller one had a cold, handsome look on him. Maybe because of his blue eyes, he couldn't help but exude that atmosphere. But surprisingly, when he gazed down at the person walking beside him, there's a gentleness that was almost overflowing. The other young man was more on the beautiful side instead of handsome. He had that androgynous look that could make both men and women admire him.

But the most important point was, they truly looked like YUN and Noctis. Just with different hair and eye color. Of course, minus the horns and pointy ears.

- [I must admit, they really do look like YUN and Noctis.]

- [If that's really YUN and Noctis, then that means they didn't enhance their looks. That's amazing in itself.]

- [Right? I think the both of them should do some modelling like Li Xu Min and Song Liuli.]

- [Look at how close they both are. Maybe those people who are shipping YUN and Noctis aren't really delusional. Maybe they're on to something. Just look how well the two complement each other; it seems like a perfect match.]

- [Upstairs, please don't just randomly make people gay.]

- [I will ask again, even if these two were indeed YUN and Noctis, so what? There's nothing weird about them hanging out together.]

[Look at the background of the picture. Are they actually outside the police station?]

Attached to the comment was a zoomed in version of the picture, showing the police station behind the two.

- [That's really a police station. What are they doing there?]

- [Don't tell me they were arrested?]

- [Hey, don't make assumptions that could affect the reputation of people. Make sure first before doing that.]

- [What else could they be doing in front of a police station?]

- [Maybe they filed a complaint. Do you think people just appear in a police station because they were arrested?]

[I think I may know why they were in the police station. I was eating in a hotpot restaurant earlier with my friends when we heard a commotion happening on the second floor. We were curious and went up to see what's happening. There were saw people fighting. I took a photo before we were told by the staffs to go back to the first floor and not to go closer. I didn't really see the faces of the people involved in the fight, since everything happened so fast. But now that I compared the photo I took to the photos that had been posted here, the two were probably involved in the fight. That's why they ended up going to the police station.]

After that long comment, a slightly blurry photo of someone about to punch another person was attached below. Although the photo was not very high definition, it was still easy to see the features of the one trying to throw a punch. And they looked remarkably similar to the young man who looked like YUN.

- [Seriously? Were they involved in a fight? That's why they were in the police station?]

- [I thought the one upstairs was just making things up, but the photo they posted really does look like the guy on the earlier photos. If that was really YUN, I'll be really disappointed.]

- [I know, right? Fighting in the game is fine. But doing that in real life? How can they be any different from gangsters?]

- [If those two were involved in some kind of fight, maybe the other members of team Yunyue were also involved. If so, shouldn't they be disqualified in the Arcadia Cup? The game doesn't need gangsters like them.]

- [I agree. @moonlightmedia, please disqualify team Yunyue!]

- [Hey, you people shouldn't make assumptions like this when not all the facts are clear.]

- [Upstairs is right. We should wait until all pertinent information is available before making our judgment.]

- [Saying shit right now only for you to be proven wrong later would be a pretty ugly slap on the face. So, I will reserve my judgment for now.]

- [But isn't it a fact that they did fight? The only important question is whether these people are really YUN and Noctis.]

----------

As the post escalated and escalated to the point that people were requesting for Moonlight Media to disqualify team Yunyue, the only member of the team aware of what was happening was Bai Ze.

Since the news of what happened with his cousins, as well as Shen Ji Yun and Su Yuqi, reached them, he had been waiting here in the living room of their house with his mother.

Then, as they were waiting, Bai Ze's White Marsh account was continuously tagged in Weibo. Because of the current situation, he wasn't in the mood to check it. But because of the continuous notification, he had no choice but to do so.

And how shocked he was when he did.
