"I've always had this idea: maybe when the Japanese came to China's Tang Dynasty to learn, they encountered funerals held by commoners or the royal family and mistook them for grand welcoming ceremonies, and were completely misled. Or perhaps many of their customs were the opposite of ours, and their celebrations were all about 'sacrifice,' a word that scares me when I see it."
Western netizens: "Ha! Don't you understand art? Civilization is born from destruction... Survival and death are the two greatest topics in the world... Only the rebirth from the ashes... is a combination of the two... Competition... originates from the shadow of death in war... and its combination with civilization is higher than survival... it is a rebirth after death and nirvana..."
A Middle Eastern netizen commented: "I have a feeling that this opening ceremony contains an ominous metaphor. It seems to be hinting at something! You guys might as well guess what it is."
A South Korean netizen commented: "First of all, I don't think Japan's aesthetic is that different from other countries. There must be something fishy going on. Such a big program cannot be controlled by a few people. It has been involved by the Japanese authorities and government. It's terrifying to think about. Everyone should keep quiet."
A North American netizen commented: "Many netizens say this is a cultural difference, but I want to say that cultural differences are not an excuse. Everyone in the world knows what a ghost is, right? Don't you know what it means? Does seeing a ghost make you happy? This is a global event, not just a domestic one in Japan. This time, Japan has disappointed me greatly."
However, the music opening ceremony continued, and more and more outrageous monsters appeared.
The gruesome giant human head sent chills down everyone's spines.
Those extremely terrifying humanoid puppets can give you nightmares.
That was an epileptic seizure; he was wildly shaking and rolling around on the stage, looking extremely painful.
Those skeletal zombies and red-eyed madmen were so captivating that one dared not look at them for long.
The "bubbles" flying around, the "mutants" from radiation, the white terror, the vampires, and so on, are all extremely perverted programs.
Finally, after a long and agonizing ordeal, the opening ceremony came to an end. In the end, the famous Japanese singer Riga Mii appeared and sang her hit song "Red Bird," which finally saved the hearts of the audience around the world. Otherwise, they would not have been able to escape from hell.
The opening ceremony, which resembled something out of the underworld, finally ended with decent singing. Many audience members left the venue in a daze, their minds filled with those bizarre images. It's likely that many of them will have nightmares.
After Chen Feng and the others returned to their residence, Zhao Anqi and the other two woke up. Everyone looked pale and unwell, clearly still shaken.
On the table were three bowls of white rice porridge and several servings of sushi; judging from the portions, the three of them hadn't eaten much.
Chen Feng led Li Qingning and Ying Hua in through the door. Zhao Anqi put down her chopsticks and asked weakly, "You're back?"
Chen Feng nodded.
How are you feeling?
"Not good!"
Zhao Anqi answered.
When Zhang Liangying saw Li Qingning, she immediately stood up and threw herself into her arms, disregarding the fact that she was older than Li Qingning, and burst into tears on the spot.
Last night's unexpected turn of events left them no time to vent their inner fears, which finally erupted at this moment.
“Sister Liangying, it’s alright now. This kind of thing won’t happen again.”
Li Qingning patted Zhang Liangying on the back to comfort her.
Lin Weier clung tightly to Zhao Anqi's clothes, looking extremely pitiful.
The three of them were quite frightened this time. After all, the people of Japan didn't have a very good reputation internationally. They could hardly imagine what would have happened to them if Chen Feng hadn't been there.
After all, the way those men looked at them was filled with endless lewdness.
After some comforting, the three of them released their emotions and felt a little better.
How was the opening ceremony?
Zhao Anqi was much stronger than Zhang Liangying and Lin Weier, and quickly adjusted her emotions to ask.
"Don't even mention it, I'm sure I'll have nightmares tonight."
Upon hearing this, Ying Hua shuddered. Images of all sorts of bizarre and grotesque creatures flashed through her mind, sending chills down her spine and filling her with extreme fear.
Chen Feng didn't think much of it. After all, he had killed so many Japanese ninjas without being afraid, so why would he be afraid of a few clowns in disguise?
"Judging from your expressions, a lot must have happened at the opening ceremony."
"Won't they dare to mess up the opening ceremony too?"
Lin Weier and Zhao Anqi asked.
"It's a long story. If you want to know, go watch the replay yourself."
Li Qingning didn't seem to want to say much about the opening ceremony in Japan and instead told the three of them to watch the replay.
Normally, Li Qingning gave them the impression of being someone who kept people at arm's length, who didn't care much about anything and wasn't bothered by anything. Now that she was speaking like this, the three of them became even more curious.
So they all took out their phones. When they learned that Japan had publicly insulted and mocked Chinese language and their motherland, they were furious. But thankfully, when they saw their powerful motherland's missile explode in Japanese waters, forcing Japan to apologize, they finally felt relieved.
Then, as time slowly passed, Chen Feng saw a hint of cunning in Li Qingning's eyes.
Suddenly, three piercing screams ripped through the air, startling the other contestants in their respective accommodations.
Zhao Anqi, Lin Weier, and Zhang Liangying threw their phones away in fright, as if they had seen a ghost.
It took a long time for the three of them to calm down.
"Is this Japan's opening ceremony?"
"You only spent two hours looking at these things on site?"
"Oh my god, aren't you scared? What are these things?!"
The three women were stunned. They screamed in fright as they watched on their phones, breaking out in a cold sweat. But the three women opposite them, especially Li Qingning, who was a girl, actually watched the whole thing live.
"It's nothing, no need to make a fuss."
Chen Feng said something casually, then looked at Zhao Anqi.
"What do we do now? Can Miss Lin still sing?"
When Zhao Anqi saw that Chen Feng had steered the conversation toward the competition, she also began to take it seriously.
"I asked Liangying and Wei'er before you came back. They think that although they can sing in their current state, they definitely won't perform well."
"Mr. Yinghua, did you compose any songs before you came here?"
When Ying Hua saw Chen Feng ask him a question, he nodded, but then shook his head and said, "Before I came here, I wrote a total of ten songs. Unfortunately, after arriving here, I realized that my songs may be outdated in the current trend of constant change."
So, you lack confidence in your songs?
"You could say that. Last night I asked those old brothers from Pakistan, and from the information they gave me, my songs are indeed a bit outdated."
Ying Hua said casually, "Although they are famous global musicians, that was in the past."
