Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

Just as Zhu Feifei was eagerly anticipating appearing on television to expose the shocking conspiracy of "Moon Shadow" and save Tokyo and even the world, he was unaware that the "Dark Moon" organization's counterattack had already quietly begun.

Inside a black van near Tokyo TV, a slender man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sneered at Zhu Feifei on the screen. He was none other than Shinji Kurokawa, a member of the "Dark Moon" organization, codenamed "Kagemusha".

"'Moon Shadow' Lord, this Zhu Feifei actually wants to use the media to expose our plans. He's courting death." Shinji Kurokawa said into the communicator, his voice cold and hoarse.

A deep voice came from the other end of the communicator: "This Zhu Feifei has ruined my plans time and time again. We must not let him succeed. 'Shadow Warrior,' you know what to do."

"Rest assured, 'Shadow Warrior' will not fail in his mission." Shinji Kurokawa's lips curled into a sly smile. He took off his glasses, pulled out a delicate little box from his pocket, and opened it to reveal a lifelike human skin mask!

He put on the human skin mask and then changed into a set of clothes exactly like Zhu Feifei's. In just a few minutes, a "Zhu Feifei" appeared in the car.

Shinji Kurokawa looked in the mirror and imitated Zhu Feifei's expression and tone, saying, "Hehe, here comes your old... Zhu Feifei!" His voice was exactly the same as Zhu Feifei's, even with a more exaggerated and comical quality.

"Now, let's make this farce even more chaotic!" Shinji Kurokawa pushed open the car door and walked towards TV Tokyo.

Meanwhile, inside Tokyo TV, Zhu Feifei was waiting anxiously.

"Xiaobai, why is this TV station so slow? It's been half an hour, why haven't they scheduled me to be on TV yet?" Zhu Feifei couldn't help but complain.

“What’s the rush? The more important the news, the more cautious we need to be,” said Little White Ringwraith. “Besides, you’re a ‘celebrity’ now, so have some patience.”

“A celebrity? I’d rather be an ordinary person.” Zhu Feifei sighed. “If the ‘Moon Shadow’ plan is exposed, won’t I become the target of everyone’s criticism? At that time, I’m afraid countless monsters will come looking for trouble for me.”

"What are you afraid of? You have the 'Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Transformation,' why would you be afraid of those small fry?" Little White Ring Spirit said disdainfully.

"That's true, but it's easier to dodge a spear in the open than to guard against an arrow in the dark!" Zhu Feifei said. "It's better to keep a low profile."

Just then, a staff member came over and said to Zhu Feifei, "Mr. Zhu, the station director would like to invite you to the studio to prepare for the live broadcast."

"We're finally here!" Zhu Feifei perked up and quickly followed the staff into the studio.

Inside the studio, the lights were dazzling, the cameras were set up, the host was in place, and everything was ready.

"Mr. Zhu, please have a seat here," the host said, gesturing to the guest seating area. "We're about to begin."

Zhu Feifei nodded and sat down in the guest seat. He took a deep breath, composed himself, and prepared to face the challenges ahead.

"Five, four, three, two, one, begin!" With the director's command, the live broadcast officially began.

"Good evening, viewers! Welcome to today's special news live broadcast!" the host said enthusiastically. "Today, we have invited a special guest, the recently much-discussed 'mysterious figure'—Mr. Zhu Feifei!"

The camera then turned to Zhu Feifei, who smiled and waved to the audience: "Hello everyone, I am Zhu Feifei."

"Mr. Zhu, you previously claimed that the 'Dark Moon' organization kidnapped the popular idol Minako Aso and attempted to use Tokyo Tower to carry out an evil blood sacrifice ritual. What evidence do you have?" the host asked bluntly.

“Of course I have evidence!” Zhu Feifei said, “I saw it with my own eyes…”

Just then, the studio door was suddenly kicked open, and another "Zhu Feifei" rushed in.

"You're talking nonsense!" "Shadow Warrior" shouted, pointing at Zhu Feifei. "I am the real Zhu Feifei! You imposter, how dare you impersonate me and slander the 'Dark Moon' organization? You are utterly wicked!"

"What?!" The studio erupted in an uproar; everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.

"What...what's going on?" The host was dumbfounded. "How can there be two Zhu Feifeis?"

"I'm the real one! He's a fake!" the two "Zhu Feifei" said in unison.

"You're talking nonsense! You're the fake one!" The two accused each other at the same time.

"Enough!" the station director roared. "What on earth is going on? Can any of you explain this to me?!"

"Director, he's a monster! He's a monster in disguise!" Zhen Zhu Feifei pointed at the "shadow warrior" and said, "Look if you don't believe me!"

To prove her point, Zhu Feifei was about to activate the "Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Transformation" when she was stopped by the Ring Spirit Xiaobai: "Idiot! Calm down! Don't forget our previous plan! Now is not the time!"

"But how can the audience believe me if I don't prove my identity?" Zhu Feifei asked anxiously.

"I trust your Oscar-worthy acting skills," Xiao Bai said. "Now, all you need to do is stay calm, counter each move as it comes, and make the 'shadow warrior' reveal his true colors! Don't forget, you still have the magic weapons and supernatural powers we've given you!"

Zhu Feifei took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He looked at the "shadow warrior" in front of him and sneered, "You say I'm fake? Then tell me, what evidence do you have to prove you're real?"

The "Shadow Warrior" was clearly prepared. He took out an ID card from his pocket and said, "This is my ID card. My name is clearly written on it—Zhu Feifei!"

"ID card? You can forge something like that!" Zhu Feifei said dismissively.

"Then what evidence do you have to prove that you are real?" the Shadow Warrior retorted.

"I..." Zhu Feifei was speechless for a moment, he really didn't have anything to prove his identity.

"Haha, can't say anything now, can you?" the "Shadow Warrior" laughed smugly. "You imposter, why don't you surrender now!"

"Wait!" Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yukishiro Chihiro walking out from the crowd.

"Qianxun, what brings you here?" Zhu Feifei asked in surprise.

“I’ll help you,” Yukishiro Chihiro said, then walked to the front of the stage, her gaze sweeping over the two “Zhu Feifei”s, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.

"You two both say you are the real Zhu Feifei, right?" Yukishiro Chihiro asked.

“That’s right!” the two “Zhu Feifei” said in unison.

“Very good.” Chihiro Yukishiro nodded. “In that case, I’ll test you.”

She pulled a small compass from her bosom and said, "This is a 'lie detector compass,' which can detect whether a person is lying. Now, I will ask you a few questions, and you must answer truthfully. If anyone lies, the pointer on the compass will point to him."

“Okay, who’s afraid of who!” Both “Zhu Feifei” said without any fear.

"First question," Chihiro Yukishiro asked, looking at the "Kagemusha," "What's your favorite food?"

The "Shadow Warrior" paused for a moment. Zhu Feifei hadn't checked the standard answer with him on this question. He thought for a moment and said, "My favorite food is... braised pork."

The compass needle remained completely still.

Chihiro Yukishiro then looked at Fei-Fei Zhu and asked, "And you?"

Without hesitation, Zhu Feifei replied, "Of course, it's the steamed buns from Gao Laozhuang! My old... Zhu Feifei can eat a hundred of them in one go!"

The compass needle remained motionless.

"Hmph, you're lucky." The Shadow Warrior muttered under his breath.

"Second question," Yukishiro Chihiro asked, looking at Zhu Feifei, "What was the scene like when you first met me?"

"At the Shibuya Crossroads, you're investigating the disappearance of Minako Aso," Zhu Feifei said.

The compass needle did not move.

Chihiro Yukishiro then looked at the "shadow warrior" and asked, "And you?"

The "Shadow Warrior" panicked. He stammered for a long time but couldn't come up with a coherent explanation.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he said, "Of course I was at the Shibuya intersection too! You even bumped into me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the compass needle suddenly started spinning and pointed directly at the "Shadow Warrior".

"You're lying!" Chihiro Yukishiro said coldly, "You're not Zhu Feifei at all!"

“I…” The Shadow Warrior was speechless.

"Haha, you've been exposed!" Zhu Feifei laughed triumphantly. "You imposter, hurry up and show your true colors!"

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, the "shadow warrior" stopped pretending. He sneered and said, "So what if you know I'm fake? Today, none of you will leave here alive!"

As he spoke, he suddenly pulled a black bead from his pocket and tossed it into the air.

"Oh no! Everyone be careful!" Qinglan's voice suddenly came from the crowd. He and Qianying had also arrived at the scene.

The black bead exploded in mid-air, turning into a cloud of black mist that enveloped the entire studio.

"This is... a mind-altering smoke?" Chisaki covered her mouth and nose and said, "Everyone be careful, don't inhale the smoke!"

"Hehehe..." A sinister laugh came from the black mist, "It's too late to realize this now!"

Zhu Feifei secretly gave Yukishiro Chihiro an antidote pill and said, "Don't be afraid, watch me!" He activated the nine-bead bracelet, transformed into a nine-tailed celestial fox, opened his mouth, and inhaled all the bewitching smoke into his stomach, turning it into raging flames that ignited the light bulbs in the studio.

"Ah—!" The Shadow Warrior screamed as his body gradually revealed its true form under the scorching flames.

He was covered in black scales, had a pair of horns on his head, and a pair of huge wings on his back, making him look like a demon from hell.

"Damn it, you ruined my plans!" "Shadow Warrior" roared and pounced on Zhu Feifei.

A major battle erupted inside the studio of TV Tokyo...
